After chatting for a while, Wang Xiaolie pointed at Jiang Erlang and said: "I have been living in the village these days, and I have seen your son being kicked out of school every day. I thought it was a pity that he didn't study hard. Later I asked Mr.

Only then did I realize that my son learned too quickly and is now a little embarrassed."

Speaking of this matter, Jiang Yue was a little helpless: "What the officials said is true. We have nothing to do about it. If we were in Xinyang Town before, we could have asked him to teach him some poems and calligraphy. Things are difficult now.

There are no scholars, and we can’t afford them, so we can only waste our time like this.”

Wang Xiaoxing asked: "When you were in your hometown, did you read any books?"

Jiang Yue said: "We are an ordinary farming family, and Erlang has never read a book since he was a child. Moreover, Erlang has been obedient since he was a child, and he learns everything in the farmland quickly. He followed me to the fields when he was five or six years old. But for a while, there was a group of people in the village.

A wealthy family hired a private school, and Erlang often went to his door and stood there to listen to the lectures. This lasted for two or three months, but he never mentioned it again."

Wang Xiaolie looked at Jiang Erlang on the side and felt strange in his heart. If he didn't run a school, no one would know whether this young man was good at learning or how good he was at learning. Maybe his life would be like other people's.

When he grew up, he farmed with his parents, married a wife, and lived an ordinary life. There are countless people like Jiang Erlang in this world.

There are many unreasonable things in the current schooling system set by Wang Xiaolie. Children must learn literacy for three years, and there is no need for less time. During this period of study, there is neither a graduation exam nor a mechanism for further education. It is just for the people to learn some words.

People like Jiang Erlang who have studied extremely well have no way out. To change this situation, money is needed, and Wang Xiaolie has no money.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "Since this child can learn so fast, there must be something different from ordinary people. Well, I'll write a letter and ask him to go to Dengzhou to find a future. Now.

There are two schools in Dengzhou. One is a military school, which trains officers. Today's officers are different from before. They need to go to school to study, and they can be assigned to the army only after they have completed their studies. The other is a school for learning knowledge. I haven't thought of a name yet.

.You have to learn all kinds of knowledge such as arithmetic and calculations there. If you learn well, you will get a job in official factories and other places. What you want to learn is up to you."

Jiang Yue rubbed his head and looked at Jiang Erlang. He said: "Officials, what's the use of learning a craft? Since there is a military school, it is natural for the children to go to the military school to learn. If they learn well, they can have a future.

"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Now this child only knows 1,500 words, and knows nothing about poetry, books, or military strategies. It is not easy to think about a future. I will not interfere too much in this matter. Think about it at home. Tomorrow morning,

You take Erlang to my residence, and I will make arrangements for you."

Jiang Yue hurriedly agreed and took Jiang Erlang to thank Wang Xiaolie.

Speaking of which, Jiang Erlang is not young among schoolchildren. Because the school first opened, he did not start enlightenment until he was fourteen or fifteen years old. Although Jiang Erlang enlightened quickly, it is impossible to say whether he learned other things quickly or not. Due to the system

The shortcomings restricted Jiang Erlang's development, so Wang Xiaolie helped.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Xiaolie took his leave.

Jiang Yue said hurriedly: "The official has come to the humble abode for Erlang's business, how can he leave now? My wife is preparing wine and food, and will kill a chicken later. Please don't dislike me. We country people don't have much to entertain."

Wang Xiaolie said: "To be honest, I do a lot of things every day and I have no time for it. If you are interested, I can talk about it later."

No matter what, he couldn't keep Wang Xiaolie, so Jiang Yue had no choice but to send him a long way away, thanking him for his kindness.

Walking on the road, Wang Xiaolie said to Chen Yuyi: "The world often laments that there are no talents. In fact, why does God lack talents? It's just that some people are born into rich families, some are poor and sick, and some are ordinary people. Wealth and wealth

Even if they are talented people, how can they have the opportunity to learn? They have the opportunity to learn, but they have no chance to get ahead. And most ordinary people only want two meals a day. If there is no special

Opportunities, even if you have great abilities, you don’t have a chance to put them into practice.”

Chen Yuyi said: "Defense requires the establishment of a wide range of schools, which turns out to have such profound meaning."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "The sage said that there is no distinction between education and distinction. I do have the idea of ​​​​letting everyone in the world receive education, but the school is not. At this time, after three years of school, there is no test whether the students have learned well or not, and there is no update.

The best place to go is just to make them literate. When the government has money, it can let students learn arithmetic in addition to literacy. Schools will be set up above to select talents all the time. These talents are not only used by the government, but also in many private places.

We must also use it. Everyone is educated, and as long as everyone works hard, everyone will have a future. Only then will we be considered as doing well."

China is a country that attaches great importance to education, but compared with the universal education of later generations, it is far behind in ancient times. It was not until the Song Dynasty that states had state schools and counties had county schools. In the past, many states did not even have colleges. In later generations,

Education is learned from the West, and many aspects do not match the reality in China. But since it is learned, of course it carries the imprint of others.

People often ask, if the Industrial Revolution happened first in China, would history be like the Industrial Revolution first happening in the UK? There are different answers to this question, and each has its own reasons. In fact, if the Industrial Revolution happened first in China, the history would be the same as the real history.

no the same.

Every civilization must have its own imprint. This imprint is everywhere and penetrates into every aspect. If one civilization learns the knowledge of another civilization, it cannot erase the imprint of others without a long period of transformation. The Industrial Revolution, and the

The same is true for modern society initiated by the Industrial Revolution. Every aspect bears the imprint of European civilization. China has not yet completed its learning, so how can we eliminate the imprint of others?

If the Industrial Revolution occurred in China and gave rise to modern society, it would be different from reality. It would not be different in one place, but in every aspect. Almost no place would be the same. There would be cars, trains, ships, and airplanes.

There are telephones, televisions, and many other things in modern society. But in terms of use, from the method to the connotation, there will be major changes.

The same is true for education. If modern education started in China, there would still be compulsory education to cultivate talents for industry, but the form of learning, the method of upgrading, and the selection and use of talents would all have a distinct Chinese flavor.

What is the color of China? Historically, if the industrial revolution did not occur in China, there would be no answers to many questions. Even if Wang Xiaolie took the lead in popularizing education in this era, he was still influenced by later generations and was not a pure Chinese color.

After returning to his residence, Chen Yuyi left. Wang Xiaolie sat in the study, looking at the scenery outside the window in trance.

When spring comes to the world, everything has a new beginning. By winning the battle of Shaanzhou, Wang Xiaolie proved himself. Not only did he improve his status in the eyes of others, but it also gave him confidence.

The territory that Wang Xiaolie now occupies is actually very large. Not only that, there is also a large area of ​​free land around it with no officials, waiting for him to occupy it. The most important thing now is not to occupy the territory, but to occupy the territory that has been occupied.

Stay stable. As long as you stay stable, you will win.

The purpose of dividing no-man's land and guerrilla zone is to stabilize one's own territory. In the next few years, there will be a large number of various characters occupying the place. As long as there are people, they can occupy large areas of land. This is not difficult, the difficulty is

Hold the place for the next few years.

Looking at the spring scenery outside the window, Wang Xiaolie stood up and paced back and forth slowly.

If my estimate is good, the Puppet Qi in history should also establish a country. When the Puppet Qi establishes a country, they will inevitably go south to fight for land, and they will be the target of the Puppet Qi. This is a good opponent. It is not as difficult to deal with as the Jin soldiers, and they will not

Too weak, it is just a good time to train the team. After the pressure from the Jin Dynasty is reduced, the Song Dynasty will also start to deal with the rebel army in the south. The next three or four years will be a great era.

Sitting back at the table, Wang Xiaolie wrote a letter, asking Wang Ruohai to come to Biyang as soon as possible. He wanted to quickly occupy Caizhou and not prepare for the next great era. He would form an extensive guerrilla zone and a strong city.

, he occupied a large plain to the east.

Along the Ru River, Ruzhou, Xiangcheng, Yancheng, and Caizhou form a line of defense. Within the line of defense is Wang Xiaolie's core area. Outside the line of defense is the guerrilla zone. With capable generals operating in areas outside the Ru River, let

Enemy troops cannot stay for long.
