Chapter 624 Training
Reading is an important thing.

Even the children of those farmers and ordinary people still need to study.

Moreover, reading is a very yearning thing for farmers and common people. If it is not because of lack of money, it is estimated that at least [-]% of the people are willing to choose to send their children to school.

And the school established by Li Chongyuan.

First, there is no need to pay for beam repairs, and second, there is no need to pay for pens and inks, or even a penny for paper.

To send your child to school, you only need to spend a little time and sew a book bag for holding pens and paper.

of course.

There are also some farmers and common people who don't pay much attention to reading.

After all, when the forest is big, everyone will have it, and all thoughts will exist.

For the current farmers and common people, reading is more practical than not having a stomach.

Only when the stomach is resolved, it is possible to take the matter of reading into consideration.

Such things, even in the eighties and 90s of Li Chongyuan's previous life, such things still happened, let alone in this era.

Poor.

Just because of poverty, those farmers and common people feel that at least they have to solve the problem of food first, otherwise, their stomachs can't be solved, so what books are they still reading.

Moreover.

Xiaowa can also help the family with some chores within her capacity.

Naturally, there are people who have such thoughts.

Just like Li Village, when the school opened, there were two families in Li Village who were unwilling to send their children to study in the school.

If it weren't for Xiang Si's words that if he didn't send his little baby to school, his family's tenant qualifications would be revoked and the two families would be allowed to leave Li Village.

If it weren't for Xiang Si's words, the children of the two families would probably only be saddened to watch the children in the village go to school.

After Li Chongyuan assured Chen Juan, Chen Juan nodded lightly, "Yuan'er, reading is a big deal, no matter what, those children in Qingfengzhai must study, no matter how poor they are, they must not be illiterate."

"Auntie, don't worry, I understand this matter. Auntie, you have also seen that the school in Li Village is being built by me, and it can accommodate up to six hundred students studying at the same time. Besides, as long as you send it to Children in Licun Academy can go to school here for free. There is no need for any repair fees. At the same time, I will provide money for pens, ink and paper. And, starting next year, I will provide a lunch. But now It's not the time yet, this matter will not be possible until next year." Li Chongyuan reassured.

Chen Juan didn't care much about the lunch.

What they cared about was that Li Chongyuan didn't limit the repair fee, and even provided a pen, ink and paper, which surprised the two of them.

The two looked at Li Chongyuan at the same time, and Chen Huan asked anxiously: "Chongyuan, the money for this ink is much higher than the repair cost for this bundle. So many children study, this cost is huge. Six hundred children study, only Pen, ink and paper money cost tens of pennies per person a year. Chong Yuan, are you kidding us?"

"Yeah, Yuan Er. The ink and paper cost a lot of money, and you have built such a shipyard, is the money enough?" Chen Juan was really curious about Li Chongyuan's words, and at the same time, she was also very curious. I am worried that Li Chongyuan's burden will be too great, which will affect the progress of the shipyard.

Li Chongyuan smiled, did not explain, but stretched out his hand, leading the two to go elsewhere.

After walking for half an hour, the two were brought to the gate of a house by Li Chongyuan.

When Chen Juan saw that Li Chongyuan brought them to a house, they were even more puzzled.

However, seeing that Li Chongyuan didn't explain, the two of them didn't ask each other any more. Anyway, they would know what was going on in a while, and they would have an answer in a while.

Li Chongyuan asked Xingba to knock on the courtyard door, and led the two into the courtyard.

As soon as Chen Juan and two entered the courtyard, they saw that many people were busy working, but what these people were busy with made the two of them even more puzzled.

Wood, graphite, charcoal, some gooey stuff.

There is also some white limestone, which is lime.

Lime has appeared as early as the Han Dynasty.

It is said that a lime kiln site of the Eastern Han Dynasty was excavated in a certain place in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, so the technology for producing lime should not be later than the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Chen Juan pointed at the busy workers and materials in bewilderment, and asked Li Chongyuan curiously, "Yuaner, what is this for? Why can't I understand it?"

"Yes, Chong Yuan, you put these things together, no matter how you look at it, it's not clear." Chen Huan was also very curious.

Li Chongyuan grinned, walked into the room and took out a few pencils that he had made, and a few pieces of paper by the way, let Xingba cut them up and handed them to the two: "You two aunts, give it a try and see if you can do it. Write it out."

The two of them took what Li Chongyuan handed over, but they were still puzzled.

However, the two listened to Li Chongyuan's words, took the sharpened pencil, and drew a few strokes on the straw paper.

However, the pose they drew on the straw paper with a pencil made Li Chongyuan shake his head greatly.

'Wow'.

The straw paper was torn, and even the refill was broken.

"Yuan'er, here." Chen Juan looked at Li Chongyuan with some embarrassment.

But Chen Huan looked and looked at it with a pencil, and the scrap of paper in her hand had already been stabbed out of shape by her.

Li Chongyuan said indifferently: "Auntie, it doesn't matter. This is called a pencil, and it is used for children to read and write. Moreover, the refill is also easy to break, so don't use too much force. Holding the pencil to write on the straw paper, just It's similar to writing with a Langhao pen, but holding the pen is a bit different. My aunts, look at me, that's how I write, it's very simple."

The good man watched Li Chongyuan's demonstration, and immediately understood why Li Chongyuan didn't explain the matter of brush and ink just now.

And this toilet paper is not so expensive.

It is the best for reading and writing to children.

"It turns out that Yuan'er is so smart that he can come up with such a thing. This is really an eye-opener for my aunt." Chen Juan imitated Li Chongyuan's way of writing, and after writing a few words on the straw paper, she was immediately amazed and repeatedly He praised Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan grinned again and said: "Auntie, this thing is not difficult, but it requires some brains. I built such a workshop, and it is also for the purpose of promoting all children's education in Yangzhou in the future. Of course , I also want to earn some capital, which can be used to maintain the expenses of the school."

"Yuan'er, you should take your time with this matter. Once this thing comes out, those scholars may not necessarily buy it. Maybe it will be bad for you at that time." Chen Juan understood what Li Chongyuan said, and persuaded him Li Chongyuan is here.

Li Chongyuan nodded.

Afterwards, Li Chongyuan took the white chalk and showed it to the two of them.

And the two were shocked again.

The things in Li Village are similar to each other.

Next, the two of them didn't need Li Chongyuan's company either, they would wander around the shipyard every day if they had nothing to do, or take a look at the blacksmith's house.

Even, I will go to the school to listen to the lectures.

Chen Juan and the two of them had never experienced such a day, or even never imagined that they could still live in such a leisurely way.

Having been bandits for many years, the two of them have long been accustomed to the life of licking blood.

But now that I am suddenly free, I feel a little uncomfortable, I always feel uncomfortable, and I always want to find something to do.

But Li Chongyuan said that the two of them should take a break after suffering for so many years.

But the two were still not used to it. In the end, Li Chongyuan had to find a job for the two of them, teaching the children in the school to practice some simple martial arts. This made the two finally stop going to Li Chongyuan to say that they were bored.

November.

The weather is getting colder.

After Li Chongyuan arranged for Xiang Liu to come to Xixiang because of the old lady, he started to have no free time.

For a whole month, he was in Xixiang, helping Xiang Liu to take over the affairs of the government business group.

Speaking of the business group, it is enough to have Yao Kong in charge, but Li Chongyuan was afraid that someone would cause trouble, so he had to sit in charge himself.

December.

After Xiang Liu took over the business group, he began to ask for people from Chang'an, and even asked for some people from Xiang's family to help him manage the business groups in various counties.

And Li Chongyuan stayed in Xixiang for a month, and after watching the Xiangliu merchant group take over, he went straight back to his home, back to Li Village.

When Li Chongyuan returned to Li Village, Wan Hong and Yu Rong also happened to be back from a long-distance trial flight.

"Chongyuan, these two ships are really big enough. I want to start sailing the ships now." On the dock, when Chen Huan saw the two medium-sized paddle steamers, he was overjoyed.

Let alone her, even Chen Juan had expectations in her eyes.

Li Chongyuan knew that the past month the two of them stayed in Li Village was really boring. Even if they were teaching martial arts to the children in the school, they still felt that they were still not busy enough.

Maybe it's because they are used to staying in the mountains, but they suddenly come down from the mountains, and they are not used to this kind of life.

Hearing this, Li Chongyuan said in a joking tone: "Aunt Huan, it's not so early to go to sea, and it's not that easy. Besides, as far as I know, Aunt Huan, your water skills are not very good, so the next one or two days Within this year, Aunt Huan, you need to be familiar with the nature of water."

"Little bastard, are you kidding me?" Chen Huan exploded again when he heard Li Chongyuan's words.

Li Chongyuan took a few steps back and looked at Chen Juan with a smile on his face.

Familiar with water, it is too cold at this time, and it is snowing again, it is not suitable for going into the water at all.

Therefore, it is estimated that you will have to wait until next year to get familiar with water-based things.

Days go by.

The two paddle steamers can be regarded as fully finalized.

As for Wan Hong Yu Rong and the others, after the two medium-sized paddle steamers were finalized, they began to work overtime to build a new medium-sized paddle steamer.

Because Li Chongyuan asked the shipyard to build four medium-sized paddle steamers before June next year, so that Chen Juan and the others could start training on the ship.

Years passed in a flash.

The task of the shipyard is heavy. Although Li Chongyuan took half a month's leave, Wan Hong and the others only chose five days' leave before starting work again.

As the year passes and more than one month passes.

The men who went to Qingfeng Village in Fengjie also returned to Li Village.

As soon as the nearly four hundred men from Qingfengzhai came back, Chen Juan and the two finally recovered, pulled the men together, and began to train on land according to the training method discussed by Li Chongyuan and the two of them.

training.

Li Chongyuan didn't participate, but during the Chinese New Year period, he negotiated a training outline with Chen Juan and the others.

Of course, the so-called training outline, Li Chongyuan also brought Shi's family to discuss it together.

after all.

In terms of water skills, they are much better than Li Chongyuan, and their water training is good, or underwater training, they can be said to be experts.

Working with water all the year round, you can become an expert even if you are not an expert.

After repairing the foreign water, the water workers basically never left, and they still stayed in Li Village to help the shipyard.

Such as carrying wood, such as planing wood and so on.

In short, with work to do, they basically would not choose to leave.

What's more, the family members are arranged in Li Village, and they have work to do, so why would they choose to leave.

April.

After training for two months, Chen Juan and the others are ready to go into the water.

As they got into the water, Li Chongyuan frowned, really speechless.

If it weren't for those water workers, Li Chongyuan suspected that half of the men in Qingfeng Village would have died.

At least [-]% of the people in Qingfeng Village don't know how to swim.

The men in Qingfengzhai who drank a stomach full of water, after they were rescued, vomited and refused to go into the water again.

"Auntie, I suggest that you start training in shallow water. You have to take your time, and you can't do it overnight. Besides, if you train like this, you will die easily." Seeing so many men who don't know water, Li Chongyuan finally I had to stand up and speak.

Although he, Li Chongyuan, agrees with this water-based training outline, did he really think that more than [-]% of the men in Qingfengzhai do not know water-based skills.

Chen Juan looked at the men lying on the ground, and finally had no choice but to nod, "Then take your time."

Training resumes.

Although the men in Qingfengzhai were somewhat resistant, once Chen Juan spoke, they would not object.

Start at the shallow end and jump on the bottom of the water.

A few days later, these guys from Qingfengzhai really learned how to swim, and even performed some tricks.

There was a slight change, which made Li Chongyuan's brows finally relaxed.

but.

Recently, Li Chongyuan didn't have much time to stare at the men in Qingfengzhai for training.

It's not because Li Chongyuan is so busy, but because Li Chongyuan is about to start to deeply promote the education in Yangzhou.

A lot of pencils have been made, even this white chalk, Li Chongyuan has already made a lot.

Moreover, Li Chongyuan has been planning how to make toilet paper recently.

Li Chongyuan didn't understand the craft of straw paper, so he could only ask Wang Sheng to find his family's lord, Wang Ting, to find a way for him.

As for whether it will be successful, Li Chongyuan doesn't know.

But Li Chongyuan knew that paper was nothing more than the condensed matter in straw pulp.
