Under Ban Zizai's introduction, Zhang San also had a preliminary understanding of these people. As for everyone's knowledge, as Ban Zizai said, their knowledge was not inferior to them.
In particular, Zhou Yongzhi and Hu Wenzhen are very involved in arithmetic. It is not easy to find arithmetic teachers these days. Those with some reputation are mostly recruited by aristocratic families and the imperial court.
With these two people, the arithmetic courses I prepared can be started. Of course, the arithmetic I teach is different from what they learn, and I still need to provide them with make-up lessons.
Zhang San also learned a lot about why these people had no knowledge, but their lives were so miserable. In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that these people were too arrogant. In today's terms, they were a group of angry youths.
Just like the name Ban Zizi, these people like to be free and do not like those trivial things. Therefore, when they were young, they hit it off and established a language society. Later, as they grew older, they were gradually hit by life and reality, and finally for
The whole family has no choice but to "work and earn money" to make ends meet.
No matter what, these people have now come to Zhangjiacun, and Zhang San wants to make them like this place. It is best to bring his family to settle down with him. Therefore, the welfare benefits promised to Ban Zizi have been implemented one by one, but there is no salary.
The class is free and high, and each person is tentatively paid three guan per month.
These people were very excited about the high salary offered by Zhang San, especially those who had passed the class before. They also roughly understood that the lord in front of them was different from other officials and noble families.
First of all, he was born in poverty, but he is full of knowledge; secondly, he benefits the countryside, and the commune is the best example; of course, what attracts these people most is that Zhang San does not restrict teaching, or as long as you do your job well, you can do whatever you want.
Well.
"Sir, what are we going to do next?" Ban Zizai asked.
"I have thought about this for a long time. I am planning to hold a literacy class here so that people in our village can come here to learn literacy." Zhang San replied.
"This...many villagers in Zhangjia Village are relatively old. Isn't it too late to start learning now?"
"Live and learn until you are old. There is no difference in learning sooner or later. Of course, you can say it if you don't want to. You still need to be consulted on this matter." Zhang San also knew that asking these people to teach the villagers literacy was somewhat overkill, but
For the long-term development of the commune, this must be done.
"What a man who lives and learns. His Majesty's words are wonderful. I am willing to be your teacher." The speaker was Hu Rui. After hearing what Zhang San said, he replied in agreement.
Someone started, and the people behind him naturally nodded in agreement. As the head of the family, he could also ask for their opinions, which made everyone have a better impression of Zhang San.
"Sir, how should we teach this literacy class?" Ban Zizai saw that everyone agreed, so he said nothing more.
"Banfu, you are the first to come here, and you know a lot about the situation in our village and commune. In this way, when you come back, you will also arrange a class schedule for everyone and open three classes according to the commune's shift system. I will go to the commune.
Tell them to change their schedule and spend an hour here every night to learn literacy.
During the day, I will also let the resting workers come here to study, so you can arrange the starting time of the class in advance and leave it to me. I will not interfere in how to teach, but one thing is to conduct regular assessments to test the students' learning results."
After listening to what Zhang San said, these people naturally had no objections. Ban Zizai also said that he would sort out the class schedule and present it to Zhang San tonight.
"Master Zhou and Master Hu, I have a book on arithmetic here. I'll have it delivered to you when I get back. Take a look at it first. You may not understand many things in it, but it doesn't matter. I will teach you. From now on, you two
I am mainly responsible for teaching arithmetic, what do you think?"
The two of them were naturally very happy when they heard that Zhang San wanted to teach arithmetic. They were already very interested in arithmetic. They were also very interested in the arithmetic book that Zhang San mentioned. Ban Zizai once wrote a letter saying that there is a kind of arithmetic in Zhangjiacun Commune.
The new arithmetic was used for accounting, but Ban Zizi himself didn't know much about arithmetic, so he just mentioned it casually.
After the matter was settled, Zhang San stood up and left, leaving the place to Ban's own arrangement. Anyway, there was a row of teachers' dormitories behind, so it would not be a problem to arrange for these people to stay.
The workers who returned home from work that night learned from their children that a group of ladies had come to Zhangjiacun School and that the Duke was going to open a literacy class.
Naturally, these people don't understand the literacy class. They only know that they are preparing to teach people in the commune how to read.
Some people are happy about this, and some are worried about it. Most of the happy people are the stewards in various groups of factories. These people realize the importance of knowledge, especially when negotiating business with foreign customers. However, many of these stewards suffer the disadvantage of being uneducated.
Those who are worried are some ordinary workers, because they only need to repeat a single and simple job and do not care much about whether they can read or not. As long as their children go to school and have books to read, it will be fine. Going to school will delay their work.
As the notice posted by Zhangjiacun Commune came out the next day, this matter was settled. At the same time, learning literacy was also linked to the year-end assessment. At that time, the school would assess the students, and workers with good performance in the assessment would receive year-end bonuses.
If you increase the number of people who do not perform well in assessment, the bonus will shrink a lot.
Zhang San also came forward to explain to everyone the importance of learning knowledge and culture for work. At the same time, many managers and team leaders also stood up and personally shared that without culture, you will suffer a lot in business negotiations. At the same time, Zhang San also said that in the future, middle-level personnel will be selected.
Managers will also require them to be literate, otherwise they will not be promoted no matter how good they are.
Suddenly, many "elementary school students" in their thirties and forties appeared in the school, biting their pens, grimacing, and crookedly learning to write their names.
News about the literacy class in Zhangjiacun was also spread by some workers from other villages, which aroused the envy and jealousy of people from other villages, but no one "hated" it because there were also many people from other villages working in Zhangjiacun Commune, and these people also
You can also choose to go to a school to study for free.
Of course, Zhang San, a villager from outside the village, did not impose too much and everything was voluntary, but for Zhangjia villagers, whether you want it or not, as long as you work in the commune, you must go to school to study.
So in Zhangjiacun there would often be a scene like this at night: "Gouwa, how do you write the character Zhang for dad? Tomorrow Master Du will have someone write it silently."
"Dad, why are you so stupid? You'd better write this word."
"You dare to say that dad is stupid. You need to deal with it, right? Hurry up and teach me to write it twice."
"Dad, can you please stop calling me Gouwa? I have a famous name. My name is Zhang Youli. Banfuzi got it and said, 'Youli travels all over the world.'" The child named Zhang Youli said with a sad face.
"What's wrong with calling me a dog? It's easy to make a living with a low life. Let's call him at home, and his father's call will be affectionate."
The father may also feel that the name "Gouwa" is not very pleasant, and his tone is a little more soothing.
When the first class was doing roll call, I saw that many of my students were called Gouwa, Shengzi, Erwa, and Sanzi. So I gave them a new name and used the new names in the school.
