Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 234 Ten Years (Part Three)

Yan Ermei passed by a school, the school was not big, it was a primary school at the village level.The security regiment implements education at the age of five, primary school for six, and middle school for three years.Among them, primary school is divided into junior primary school and senior primary school, with four years of junior primary school and two years of senior primary school.Ordinary people would go to farm with their parents after reading a few words of primary school knowledge. If they wanted to be an official, they not only had to finish high school, but also had to graduate from middle school, so that they could have the opportunity to rely on the University of Political Science and Law.Only after graduating from the University of Political Science and Law for four years can you enter the government system as a low-level official, that is, start at the stock level.

Enter school at the age of five, graduate at the age of nine after four years of elementary school, and turn at the age of 11 after two years of high school. At the age of 11, I can already work as an apprentice in a shop. Having a primary school diploma is very popular with shopkeepers.Of course, the security regiment is now supporting the factory vigorously, and it is also very good to be able to go to the factory to do the math.Fourteen for three-year high school and eighteen for four-year college.The marriage age formulated by the Security Corps was in line with the needs of this era. In order to increase the number of children, and after considering the physiological development time of girls, Qiu Tianxing set the age of [-] for men and [-] for women.Therefore, after graduating from middle school, if you can't get into the University of Political Science and Law, you can work for a few years before you can save enough gift money to get married.Moreover, there is no age limit for the University of Political Science and Law, as long as you have a high school diploma, you can take the exam.It can be said that this is a disguised imperial examination.It's just that those who pass the imperial examination are officials, and those who graduate from the University of Political Science and Law are officials.

At this moment, what Yan Ermei saw was a junior high school student.Now the education of the Security Corps has just started and lacks financial resources, so there is only one junior primary school in the surrounding villages, and the upper primary school can only be found in the town. As for the middle school, there is only one in each county. There is only one military academy in Jinling City.This means that there are still many children who cannot go to school, but there is no way to do it. Teachers and financial resources cannot keep up, so they can only slowly accumulate strength and build.Therefore, teachers in many places are all-rounders, teaching multiple courses by one person.

The village where Yan Ermei stopped was relatively large, so there was only one primary school.I saw that the primary school building turned out to be a big house, and it turned out to be the ancestral hall in the village, and the ancestral hall had two windows and a back door.This made Yan Ermei, who respected filial piety, frowned, but then thought that if he could let his descendants receive education and change their destiny to become famous, maybe their ancestors would be happy too.Immediately, Yan Ermei felt relieved.

Yan Ermei is kind-hearted and wears a monk's robe, she doesn't look like a bad person.So Yan Ermei stood there quietly, and no one asked.Maybe the master found a child with the root of wisdom and was observing it?Some people who believe in Buddhism secretly think about it.

Classes are in progress in the room, and everyone is very serious. The children know that this is an opportunity to change their own destiny, so they are listening to the class very sensiblely, and the teacher is also working hard to teach.If their professors are good, they have the opportunity to be transferred to cadres.It is very popular recently to turn from learning to working. No matter how good a teacher is, it is not as good as being an official.Therefore, teachers who are motivated in their official careers have become active.

The ancestral hall is very large and there are many students, so the three grades are put together.Three years ago, the Security Corps had carried out this kind of education on this land, only to be interrupted by the war.After returning to this place now, the school has redistributed three grades according to the level of students' knowledge, first grade, second grade and third grade, and there is no fourth grade.The course is also very simple. The teacher first spends a quarter of an hour teaching a few words to the first graders, and then let them learn by themselves.Then I spent a quarter of an hour teaching mathematics to the second grade, and after a few addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems, I let them learn by themselves.In the end, the teacher taught geography to the third grade, saying that the earth is round, and there are continents on the other side of the sea, which are even bigger and richer than the Central Plains.What the teacher said was so interesting that the ears of the students in the first and second grades pricked up, and they didn't even bother to do their homework.Soon, a class of three quarters of an hour passed, followed by a quarter of an hour of recess, Yan Ermei also stood outside for three quarters of an hour.

After class was over, the students flocked out of the house to play. When the children saw Yan Ermei wearing a monk's robe, they all showed surprise expressions, but they didn't speak but walked around. Some of them turned back while walking curiously. I watched, but soon I was dragged away by my friends to play.

At this time, the teacher saw Yan Ermei, and came over to say hello.

"I don't know why the master came here? If it is Huazhai, there are still some buckets of rice in the student's house."

Although Qiu Tianxing doesn't believe in Buddhism and even collects taxes from temples, Qiu Tianxing can't stop Buddhism, so there are still Buddhist believers under his rule.This teacher is a person who believes in Buddhism.

"Thank you so much for the benefactor. The poor monk didn't come to Huazhai. The poor monk saw the benefactor giving a lecture and was very curious, so he came over to have a look." Yan Ermei said.

After hearing Yan Ermei's intention, the teacher said politely.

"Since Master is interested, why not come in and take a look."

At this time, the children in the house have all gone out, and the inside is empty.Because the classroom was remodeled from an ancestral hall, it was dark and damp.Even if a few windows are opened on the south side, the light cannot fill every corner.The desks are also extremely simple, and Yan Ermei even saw that a certain desk looks like a coffin board, so it can be said that the conditions are very simple.

"It made the master laugh. The class here has just been set up, so everything is kept simple." The teacher said.

"Where, where. These are all foreign things, how can they compare with the master's knowledge. The wisdom of the master makes the poor monk look up at the mountains! The poor monk knows nothing about the arithmetic and geography that the gentleman talks about." Yan Ermei bowed Said with a single palm salute.

Hearing Yan Ermei's words, the teacher blushed immediately, and he hurriedly explained.

"Master misunderstood, how can students have such knowledge? Students used to be just children. These are taught according to textbooks! Not students' knowledge!"

"Oh? That's the case? I wonder if the poor monk can watch it?"

"Yes, yes, please read, master." The teacher handed over the three booklets on the table.Yan Ermei took it and began to read it. The time passed little by little, and soon it was time for class again, but Yan Ermei was still immersed in the world of books.

"Master, master!" the teacher called softly.

"Huh, huh?" Yan Ermei replied unconsciously.

"Master, we are going to class, you." The teacher said shyly.

At this moment, Yan Ermei woke up. He saw that there were children sitting below, looking at him eagerly, and at this moment their textbooks were in his hands.

At this moment, Yan Ermei was also embarrassed, he hurriedly returned the textbook to the teacher, and then said.

"The poor monk is rude, sir, the poor monk will leave now." Although Yan Ermei returned the textbook to the teacher, she was very reluctant in her heart.

Seeing Yan Ermei's appearance, the teacher said.

"It seems that the master is very interested in our course. If you don't dislike it, the master may wish to attend."

Hearing the teacher's words, Yan Ermei was very happy, so she stayed.There happened to be a seat at the back, so Yan Ermei walked over and sat down.A big monk was sitting beside him, and the students were very excited.But under the stern gaze of the teacher and the charm of knowledge, the students quickly forgot about Yan Ermei and immersed themselves in the ocean of knowledge.

One day has passed, and the afternoon is at the right time, and the school is over.Because many children have to bear the family's farm work, Shen Shi has to go home to help with the work. It is difficult for them to get a rest when they go home to cut pigweed or pick up dung balls.But even so, they are extremely satisfied because they can go to school.

After school, Yan Ermei took the book from the teacher and continued to read it.When the sun was about to set, Yan Ermei finally finished reading. He calmed down and asked the teacher.

"Sir, I don't know which sage wrote these three books. Although some knowledge in it has been mentioned, how has there ever been such a superb explanation?"

Yan Ermei sighed while asking.

"Master, this book was compiled by the Education Department of our Security Corps. It is said that the chief editor is Comrade Qiu Tianxing, our regiment leader!"

"What? This is written by your leader?" Yan Ermei said in surprise.

The three books in this area can no longer be described as full of economics. They simply know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and they know everything in between!
For a while, Yan Ermei was full of interest in Qiu Tianxing, and she only wanted to visit Jinling City.
