Section 112: Visiting Grasslands--Technology is the primary productive force
What most people in the visiting group sighed was: the full-time veterans of Fangcaodi were busy from morning to night, with almost no time for leisure. Of course, if any of these veteran teachers counted, it would be difficult to see the students, especially the female students.
The students' eyes were all red.
"It's admirable that Mr. Kun has so much wealth, but he still teaches tirelessly. My generation can never be as good as him." Liu Dalin sighed to Wang Ci. This kind of spirit of teaching and educating people must be admired by everyone.
"It's just that this Kun, taught by the Australians, is not the right way of the saints at all. As the saying goes, the way is not right. The more knowledge you have, the more reactionary it becomes!" Wang Ci said what he had learned from the lectures in the past few days.
Liu Jinshi rolled his beard and closed his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Although what the Australians taught is not the book of a saint, it is still the way of a saint. The ancient Australian saint said: All roads lead to Chang'an, and we cannot blindly stick to it.
The past remains unchanged - in Lingao and Qiongzhou, the people live and work in peace and contentment - isn't this a rare form of governance?"
Wang Ci was dissatisfied. Indeed, the Australians' skills in governing the people and managing finances were unparalleled in the world. Even if the saint was resurrected, he would probably be nothing more than this. However, he always felt that this was too deviant: As long as the people get practical benefits, does that mean they have implemented the saint's teachings? Since the Australians
If the common people do not need to be taught and governed by the teachings of saints, then what should scholars and scholars do?
Wang Jiaoyu felt a chill in his heart. He stopped arguing and walked away in despair.
In response to repeated requests from the visiting group, they finally got permission to enter the library. The library in Parkview Gardens is limited in size—most of them are primary school students, and there are not many books that they can read. And the libraries in Senate House and Parkview Gardens are limited in size.
Educators' training of students is purely "materialistic", that is to say, the knowledge they learn, read and master focuses on practical principles. Stories, fairy tales and the like occupy a large area of children's books.
Except for a small number of selected books with "educational significance", they will not be published. As a result, the types of books that can be collected in this library become limited. Generally speaking, in addition to textbooks, political propaganda readers, various
In addition to dictionaries, there are a large number of popular science books.
But even so, the scale of the collection of 20,000 books has stunned the visiting group - in this era when the publishing and printing industry is very backward, and the types of books are both small and expensive, a book collector with hundreds or thousands of books is a book collector.
Only the government and the royal family can possess tens of thousands of books. The Australians have equipped such a school with so many books in just a few years. This alone is enough to make them fall in love.
According to Hu Qingbai and Principal Zhang, this is really nothing. A national model high school with 42 teaching classes must have an average collection of 50 books per student. Even an average middle school must have at least 10 books per student to be considered qualified.
As a complete school from primary school to middle school, Fangcaodi has 200 internal affairs classes and 6,000 students. Even according to the minimum standard, there should be 60,000 books - Lingao's printing industry cannot be said to be very powerful.
.
When he saw the densely packed cabinets in the entire hall filled with books - Liu Dalin was speechless for a long time: there may not be as many books as there are in this room on the whole island of Hainan. The visiting group wandered here for a long time.
They looked through a book on the bookshelf, but they didn't read it for long. They shook their heads and put it down. Except for a few, they found most of the books incomprehensible. Then they looked at the students in the reading room who were reading at their desks.
, Wang Jiaoyu suddenly felt like an illiterate peasant: It turns out that there is so much knowledge in the world, but he knows so little!
The strange skills of Kun Thief, which he once dismissed, are creating miracles one after another in Lingao, but he knows nothing about it. He can't even understand it when the book is placed in front of him. No wonder the Australians treat them
They paid no attention to it, let alone took any precautions. They were allowed to visit as they pleased. Thinking of this, Wang Ci put down the book in pain. He could no longer read it.
Huang Hankun browsed many books in the library, but he was still disappointed. It was not until he read a large tome, "One Hundred Thousand Whys" composed of many books, that he found a treasure - of course,
There is a lot of content in this book that he still can't understand, but there are some chapters that he can still understand.
After first reading, I found that the content in this book can be said to be astronomical, geography, and all kinds of knowledge. What's even more rare is that although the text is simple and short, it can explain various things in an easy-to-understand manner.
Understood, even a person like him who knew nothing about "Australian Studies" could understand it to a certain extent, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart: Isn't this the secret book of Australians! As long as he has this, the secret of the thief can be understood.
You can see everything at a glance! When the guide arrived, Master Huang's breathing became rapid. He wished he had a pocket to hide all these dozens of books and carry them out.
However, several male and female teaching staff here kept staring at them closely. Huang Hankun looked at the opportunity for a long time, but could not succeed in stealing the book. He could only put down the book angrily and thought about how to find another way to steal the book.
Walk.
When I was thinking about it, I saw a student copying and writing in a small book while reading. I couldn't help but feel happy. Since copying can be done here, all I have to do is ask Huang Ping to copy the book. If he is too busy alone, what a big deal.
Send two more boys to study.
At dinner that day, Wang Ci queued up for a meal in the cafeteria, and ordered another portion for Jinshi Liu Dalin as usual. There was no charge for the meal for the visiting group, but it was on the same level as the meals for students, faculty and staff, and there was no special treatment.
The two sat down to eat. "Mr. Liu, these days are really enlightening and enriching. Australians are really very nice people."
"Australians are indeed very intelligent." Liu Jinshi knew that Wang Jiaoyu had something to say, so he made a perfunctory remark and waited for his words.
"Australians have wealth as their foundation! Sir, look at this school, the building is brilliant, and the library has hundreds and thousands of books. Let's talk about this meal. If you can have both meat and vegetables every meal, and you can eat as much polished rice as you want, our country will be worth millions.
It can't be done. I'm not afraid of your jokes. The Australians served it last year, and the ingredients were so delicacies that I, a student, almost swallowed my tongue, haha."
"Sir, do you still think that Australians can achieve this level just because they have a lot of money?"
"Captain, there are so many people here, why don't we go to the dormitory and have a chat." Wang Ci saw Liu Dalin starting to talk, for fear of being overheard in the cafeteria. This place is no different from other places, they are all Australian students.
, if that sentence is wrong, the only Jinshi in the history of Lingao County may be doomed.
Liu Dalin waved his hand: "Oh, hehe, it's okay, it's so noisy here that the Australians' secret method of distinguishing sounds is not allowed to be sold."
Wang Jiaoyu said: "If wealth is not the foundation of Australians, why do they work tirelessly to make money as their own responsibility? Not only do they make money, but they are also very mean in offering it themselves..."
"The purpose of collecting wealth is for national use." Liu Dalin said word by word, "Since ancient times, the imperial court has collected taxes, developed industry and commerce, and opened up financial channels in order to have sufficient national supplies. What Australians do is just for this purpose.
.Their roots are not here.”
"Please teach me, sir."
"Sir, please think about it, it's been **hundred years since Lingao was established as a county in the Tang Dynasty. In these hundreds of years, in addition to adding more fields and households, how many changes have there been in the Ming and Tang Dynasties? Mr. Wang also
Those who have read the Qiongtai Chronicles and the County Chronicles of this county will naturally know."
"Yes, this county is a small border county after all, and there are Li people causing trouble. It is not easy to maintain the current situation."
"Exactly, since the establishment of the county in the Tang Dynasty, we have only maintained and opened up this situation. Why did the Australians undergo such a big change that has not been seen in thousands of years?"
Wang Ci has not thought about this question carefully. The most profound influence that the Australians have on him is "luxury" and "making money". The main reason why many things can be done is because they can make money, and they can make money like magic.
Constant money and food to support.
"Of course Australians can make money." Wang Ci said, "Many counties have to do good governance, but the county really has no money and no food, so it is difficult to do it."
"Haha," Liu Dalin smiled meaningfully, "Let's not talk about that. Since they can make money - why can they make more money than others? Isn't this still Lingao County?"
Wang Jiaoyu was stunned by this question. He had always thought that Kun Thief was particularly good at making money, but why he had never thought about it.
After thinking for a moment, he returned: "Australians have all kinds of secret skills..."
"Come on!" Liu Dalin applauded, "Mr. Wang is right. Australians can make more money than others because they have secret skills that others don't have." He said, "In local farming, one strong laborer is equipped with one cow, but the only thing is to serve
The harvest from twenty acres of land is only over a hundred kilograms per acre in a year. Look at Australian farming. One person is paired with horses, cattle and those unknown iron guys to take care of a hundred acres of land.
One acre can produce one or two thousand catties a year, that's the difference."
Wang Ci suddenly became enlightened and nodded: "The mountain chief is right, not only farming, Australians do more and better than the local people in everything they do..."
"That's right," Liu Dalin said. "It's not so much that the Australians can make money as they can make more food and cloth. Moreover, they have secret methods for building ships and roads. They can build roads quickly, build ships and fight, and they have less things."
It can be brought in from far away, and excess can be sold outside to adjust whether there is a good harvest or not. This will neither hurt the farmers nor make everything more expensive. With this approach, how can Australians not be rich?"
"The mountain chief is right!" Wang Ci nodded excitedly. Although Liu Jinshi's analysis was simple, it was extremely clear. He had thought about this truth in the past, but he had never thought of it so thoroughly. Yes, Australians can
Isn't it because they have all kinds of "secret skills" and have "productivity" that the locals can't match? (To be continued...)
