Chapter 1324 Visiting Fangcaodi - Technology is the primary productive force

What surprised the visitors the most was that the full-time veterans of Fangcaodi were busy from morning to night, and they hardly had time to relax.Of course, if one of these veteran teachers counts as one, the eyes of the students, especially the female students, will be red.

"It's admirable that a man like Kun who has so much wealth still teaches people tirelessly. My generation is absolutely inferior." Liu Dalin sighed to Wang Ci.This kind of spirit of teaching and educating people has to be admired by anyone who reads it.

"It's just that what the Australians taught is not the righteous way of a sage. As the saying goes, the way is not right. The more you learn, the more reactionary you will be!" Wang Ci sold what he had learned from the lectures these days.

Liu Jinshi held his beard and closed his eyes, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Although it is not the book of a sage, it is the way of a sage. The ancient Australian sage said: All roads lead to Chang'an, and we should not blindly stick to it." The past does not change—this Lingao, this Qiongzhou, the people live and work in peace and contentment—isn’t this a rare way to govern the world?”

Wang Ci was dissatisfied. Indeed, Australians have unparalleled skills in governing the people and financial management. Even if a saint is resurrected, it may be nothing more than that, but he always feels that this is too deviant.Since Australians don't use the teachings of sages to educate and govern the common people, what do they need scholar-bureaucrats and scholars?
There was a chill in Wang Jiaoyu's heart, he stopped arguing, and walked away in a daze.

At the repeated request of the visiting group, they finally got permission to enter the library.Fangcaodi's library is limited in scale--there are not many books that students at the primary school level can read, after all.However, the educationists of the Senate and Fangcaodi are purely "materialized" in the cultivation of students, that is to say, the knowledge they learn, read and master is all focused on the principle of practicality, occupying a large part of children's books. Stories, fairy tales and the like are not published except for a few selected books with "educational significance".As a result, the types of books that can be collected in this library become limited.Generally speaking, in addition to textbooks, political propaganda books, and various dictionaries, there are a large number of popular science books.

But even so, the scale of the [-]-volume collection has left the visiting group stunned—in this era when the publishing and printing industry is very backward, and the variety of books is rare and expensive, there are hundreds of thousands of books that are bibliophiles. Thousands of books can only be owned by the government and the royal family.The Australians have equipped such a school with so many books in a few years, and this alone is enough to make them cast their eyes on the ground.

According to Hu Qingbai and Principal Zhang, this is really nothing. A school with 42 classes in a national model high school has 50 books per student. Even a general middle school must have at least 10 books per student to meet the standard. .As a complete school from elementary school to middle school, Fangcaodi has [-] internal affairs classes, [-] students, and even according to the minimum standard, there should be [-] books—the printing industry in Lingao is not so powerful.

When he saw the densely packed cabinets filled with books in the entire hall——Liu Dalin was speechless for a long time: There may not be as many books in the whole island of poor Hainan as there are in this room.The visiting group lingered here for a long time, flipping through a book on the bookshelf.However, they shook their heads and put it down after not reading for long. Except for a few, they felt that most of the books were incomprehensible.Looking at the students reading at their desks in the reading room, Wang Jiaoyu suddenly felt like an illiterate farmer: So there is so much knowledge in the world, but he knows so little!

The knives and tricks of the thieves, whom he once dismissed, are creating miracles one after another in Lingao, but he knows nothing about them.He couldn't understand even the book in front of him.No wonder the Australians don't pay much attention to them, let alone guard against them, allowing them to visit here at will.Thinking of this, Wang Ci put down the book in pain, unable to read any more.

Huang Tinkun browsed through many books in the library, but the result was still disappointing. It was not until he found a large tome, "One Hundred Thousand Whys" composed of many books--of course, There are many contents in this book that he still can't understand, but he can still understand some chapters.

After reading it, I found that the content of this book can be said to be comprehensive in astronomy, geography, and all kinds of knowledge. What's even more rare is that although the text is simple and short, it can explain all kinds of things in a simple and easy way. I understand, even a person like him who knows nothing about "Australian studies" can understand a little bit, and I can't help but feel very happy: Isn't this the secret book of Australians!As long as there is this, the secret of the Kun thief will be revealed at a glance!As the guide came here, Second Young Master Huang's breath became short of breath, wishing he had a pocket to hide these dozens of books and recite them.

However, several male and female academic affairs here have been staring at them closely all the time. Huang Tiankun looked at the opportunity for a long time, but he could not succeed in stealing the book. Walk.

When I was thinking about it, I saw a student copying in a small notebook while reading a book. I couldn't help but feel happy. Since copying is possible here, I just need to ask Huang Ping to copy the book.If he is too busy alone, at worst, he will send two boys to study.

At dinner that day, Wang Ci lined up in the cafeteria to make a meal, and as usual made another order for Jinshi Liu Dalin.There is no fee for the meal of the visiting group, but it is on the same level as the meal for students and faculty members, and there is no special treatment.

The two sat down and had dinner. "Mr. Liu, these days, it's really enlightening and gaining a lot. Australians are really very human."

"Australians are really talented." Liu Jinshi knew that Wang Jiaoyu had something to say.After a perfunctory sentence, he waited for his next words.

"Australian wealth is its foundation! Sir, look: this school has splendid buildings, and the library has hundreds of thousands of books. Let's just talk about the food. You can have meat and vegetables every day, and you can eat all the polished rice. I can’t do it. I’m not afraid of your jokes, last year the Australians entertained them, and the ingredients were really delicious, my student, I almost swallowed my tongue, haha.”

"Do you still think that the Australians can do this because they are rich?"

"Shan Zhang, there are a lot of people here, why don't we go to the dormitory and talk about it." Wang Ci saw that Liu Dalin wanted to open up the chatterbox, for fear of being overheard by someone in the cafeteria. This place is no different than other places, and they are all Australian students. If that sentence is wrong, the only Jinshi in the history of Lingao County may be lost forever.

Liu Dalin waved his hand indeed: "Oh hehe, it's okay, it's just the noise of people here, so the Australian's secret method of distinguishing sounds cannot be sold."

Wang Jiaoyu said: "If wealth is not the foundation of Australians, why do they work tirelessly and take it as their responsibility to collect money, not only to collect money, but also to offer themselves very meanly..."

"Amassing 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 avenues of wealth in order to make the country rich. What Australians do is just for this purpose." .Their root is not here."

"Please sir teach me."

"Sir, please think about it. It has been eight or nine hundred years since the establishment of Lingao County in the Tang Dynasty. In the past few hundred years, apart from the addition of more farm households, how many changes have there been in the Ming and Tang Dynasties? Mr. Wang also Those who have read the Qiongtai annals and the county annals will naturally know."

"Yes, after all, this county is a small frontier county, and Li people are making trouble. It is not easy to maintain the current situation."

"Exactly. Since the founding of the county in the Tang Dynasty, it has only maintained and opened up such a small situation. Why did there be such a big change when the Australians came?"

Wang Ci didn't think about this question carefully. The most profound influence on him from Australians is "luxury" and "making money".Many things can be done, mainly because they can make money, supporting them with a steady stream of money and food like a magic trick.

"It's natural that Australians can make money." Wang Ci said, "Many counties have good governance, and the county has to do it. It's really hard to do without money and food."

"Hehe," Liu Dalin smiled meaningfully, "Let's not talk about it. Since they can make money—why can they make more money than others? Isn't this still Lingao County?"

This question stunned Wang Jiaoyu. He always thought that Kun thieves were particularly good at making money, but why he never thought about it.

After thinking for a while, he returned: "Australians have all kinds of secret skills..."

"Here!" Liu Dalin applauded, "Mr. Wang is right. Australians can make more money than others because they have secret skills that others don't have." The harvest of [-] mu of land is only more than [-] catties per mu in one year. Look at the Australians who farm the land. They are equipped with horses, cows and those unknown iron guys to serve [-] mu of land. One or two thousand catties can be harvested per mu a year, that’s the difference.”

Wang Ci suddenly became enlightened, nodded and said: "The head of the mountain is right, not only farming, Australians do more than the local people in everything, and they do it well..."

"Not bad," Liu Dalin said. "Rather than saying that Australians will make money, it is better to say that they can make more food and cloth. Moreover, they have secret methods for building ships and repairing roads. It can be sold outside to adjust whether there is a good harvest, and it will not hurt farmers with low grain prices, and it will not make everything expensive. How can Australians not be rich with this way of doing things!"

"The head of the mountain is right!" Wang Ci nodded excitedly. Although Liu Jinshi's analysis was simple, he said it very clearly.He had thought about this principle in the past, but he didn't think so thoroughly.Yes, Australians are able to bring about a great change that has never happened in thousands of years. Isn’t it because they have all kinds of “secret techniques” and “productivity” that the locals can’t match?
