Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

chapter 8
"The agricultural revolution directly brought about the first great explosion of human civilization. With the development of agriculture, human beings have independently bred seven major civilizations all over the world, starting from 3000-3500 BC and after thousands of years of development. .”

"The earliest origin of modern human civilization is the Mesopotamian Plain in the Middle East, near today's Iraq, and the Sumerians may be the first nation to have a written language."

"Yawn~"

Sitting in a small classroom, Carter numbly listened to the "Mediterranean" on the podium talking.There is no wave in my heart, and I even want to sleep a little.

The only effect of taking this course is probably to prove that this is a normal world through the greasy "Mediterranean" on the podium.It's not a butter world with sexy female teachers or extremely open female students.

Even if American history textbooks tell history in a way that uses the macro timeline and the development and evolution of civilization as the starting point, Carter finds it somewhat novel.But the content, or that bit of content, isn't it?
Apart from the difference in perspective, how deep can you expect a high school history to be?The content is similar to the world history learned in China in the previous life, but because of the historical origin of the United States, the history textbook here will describe more about the history of Europe, that's all.

The summary is, a little new, but still mediocre!
The textbook is boring, what about the female students?Carter looked around, excluding the little black girls who accounted for almost half, and the remaining white female classmates.
Carter might be a little interested in them if they weren't so densely freckled.But the Onsars. Nine and a half out of ten Onsars have freckles.
What else is there to see?What's so good, let's dream!
The textbook was thrown away, the arms were folded, and the head was buried.Carter decisively chose to look for "true love" in his dreams. Thinking about it, it is 79, and 12 years later, the Soviet Union disintegrated, and he specialized in sheltering homeless Slavic girls
They are also of white race, look at the Slavs, they generally don't have freckles!And in more than ten years, after China's economy takes off, Internet beauties will come out, and then...forget it, then I don't know how old I am
"Clap~"

Just as Carter was dreaming about the young ladies and sisters from all walks of life, he was hit on the head suddenly.Raising his head in confusion, Carter only saw "Mediterranean" standing in front of him, and the students behind "Mediterranean" covering their mouths and laughing.

"Carter! Did you not sleep last night? Need to sleep during class time?"

"Of course you can't sleep well on a woman's belly!"

"Oh, Carter, tell us, is it expensive where you go?"

"Mediterranean" glared angrily. It was obvious that the blow to Carter's head just now came from him.Turning around, he scolded the students who were joking and booing, and glared at King Kong Mediterranean again and pointed the cannon at Carter again:

"Let's answer this question: In China's Fifth Civilization, in the Xia Dynasty in 2070 BC, who was the king who successfully organized the flood control project?"

Although the Mediterranean speaks strangely, you can even find a Chinese elementary school student who knows this question.Dayu controlled the water, Dayu controlled the water, it must be Yu!

"Yu!"

Carter rolled his eyelids and turned his head, ready to go back to sleep.Public schools, they are already in high school, how can there be a teacher who can sleep in class?Besides, I answered the question myself, so I should let myself sleep for a while
But just as Carter's head was only half turned, he was hit on the head again.At the same time, the roar of the Mediterranean Sea sounded in my ears:
"Wrong! It's Wu! I asked you to preview your homework yesterday. If you don't preview well, forget it, but you are still sleeping in class today. Taylor, please bring me my wooden board!"

Meow meow meow? ?

You tell me that Dayu's water control is not controlled by Yu, but what kind of Wu?Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu, among the six emperors of ancient times, there was not a single Wu.While being amazed that Dayu could be wrong in controlling the water, Carter suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl named Taylor out of the corner of his eye.Especially the wooden plank in her hand was about the length of an arm and about one centimeter thick.

What is this going to do?
"Turn around and lie on the table!"

Okay, now I understand!It's not enough to hit yourself on the head with a book, but also hit yourself with the board?

"Teacher, is this corporal punishment? It's against the law!"

"Who told you it was illegal?"

Yes, who told themselves that corporal punishment of students in the United States is illegal?Seems to be common knowledge on the Internet in the future?
Carter was a little confused, not to mention he didn't understand the present, he didn't know much about the specific laws of the United States in the future.Ordinary college entrepreneurs rush to the streets, and usually have no chance to go abroad.Therefore, Carter had no idea that, not only now, but even in the future, it would still be legal for teachers to punish students physically in schools in Georgia.

As of 2011, after New Mexico passed a law prohibiting teachers from corporal punishment of students, a total of 31 states in the United States plus Washington, DC have passed legislation to prohibit corporal punishment, but corporal punishment is still legal in 19 states.Unfortunately, Georgia is on this list.
Being hit by the board is a small matter, but embarrassing is a big matter!Not to mention this kind of spanking in full view, not to mention that Carter is a 22-year-old adult in his heart at this time, even if he is really a 16-year-old boy, it is also a good way to save face!

In order to avoid being ashamed of being hit by the board, Carter hastily shouted:
"Wait! Who told you it was wrong, the person who controlled the water in the Xia Dynasty was obviously Yu, and he was also the first emperor of the Xia Dynasty. Because of his meritorious service in water control, the Shun Chan Emperor was given the throne to Yu, and the feudal system was passed on from father to son. , it started with him!"

If Carter's speech was expressed in Chinese, it would be so short, but in English.Just the word "Zen Yi" is a long phrase of "non-hereditary imperial succession".After babbling this passage completely, Carter was very tired, and it was also very shocking to the Mediterranean Sea.
Although I didn't understand what Carter was talking about for a while, but being able to say so many words in one breath, it sounded a little unclear.Mediterranean Sea suspiciously put down the wooden board on his right hand, raised the textbook on his left hand, and looked through it carefully.

“whose legendary monarch Wu organized flood control projects that”

Well, it's confirmed, this kid is just talking nonsense!It is written in the textbooks that it is Wu Wang, not some Yu Wang!
Feeling that he had been scoured, the Mediterranean became more and more irritable. He threw down the textbook in his left hand and raised the wooden board in his right hand again to give Carter some color see see
Carter was not idle while flipping through books in the Mediterranean.After an urgent glance at the textbooks on the table, he was also dumbfounded.Damn, the teaching material is printed wrong, how to play? !

Douglas is also a small place. It doesn't have a Chinatown like Los Angeles or New York. You can find an "authentic" Chinese to prove yourself right.As for Google, which is a search engine on the Internet, it was only established in 1998.
Wouldn't it be difficult for him to argue now?

Seeing that the board was about to fall, Carter shouted again:
It's wrong to ask for a sack of beans!

"Wait! I want to see Mrs. Mary! Teachers have to get the principal's permission for corporal punishment, right?"

PS: This chapter can be regarded as a Tucao chapter, and I will make complaints about Lao Mei in the description of daily life.The textbook mentioned in the chapter is from "Ways of the World with Sources for AP" by Robert Strayer.This textbook was written 13 years ago. The American history textbooks 13 years ago basically rarely mentioned China. There are also such painful and shameful histories as the "Open Door Policy" and "Eight-Power Allied Forces" .

In addition, I would like to ask all the readers, how does this kind of description of daily life and the main content intersect, how does it look and feel?Do you feel that it is too long-winded, or did not find the theme?
