1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 130
Frank Ian saw his son solving an arithmetic problem on a piece of white paper, feeling relieved and sad at the same time.

Little Lenny has been very smart since he was a child, and he likes to play with various objects in the house.But Ian believes that when his son grows up, he can only inherit his craft and go to a shipyard or ship repair shop to find a job for a living.Because the Philippines is too backward, there are no teachers to teach their children.

But with the sudden arrival of a group of Eastern pirates, all their lives changed.He and his family were kidnapped by pirates, and after more than a month of sailing, they arrived at this wild continent.

Fortunately, this group of oriental pirates appeared to be very civilized and benevolent.They organized everyone to build a camp, built many houses, and brought enough food so that everyone could live and work here with peace of mind.

It didn't take long for little Lenny to learn all kinds of knowledge and culture from the learned little leader—oh, he is now called the steward—with many other teenagers.

What makes Frank Ian proud is that his little Lenny is really smart and has learned a lot of knowledge that Ian himself has never heard of.

However, what makes Frank Ian a little sad is that his little Lenny is now able to speak more and more Chinese, and all kinds of homework and knowledge essentials are written in that kind of square characters.As for Spanish, oh, poor little Lenny, can't spell a single letter.If, regardless of his appearance, is there any difference between him and those orientals?

"Father," Leniyan turned his head and looked over, "Have you learned all the Chinese characters I taught you this week? Tomorrow, Master Pan will randomly check you!...Do you need me to help you practice again?"

When Frank Ian heard his son say that, his head suddenly became dizzy.Not long after the start of the new year, the master manager and the deputy manager announced that all craftsmen need to be literate, and they are required to be able to read and write.Chinese craftsmen must master forty Chinese characters per week, and craftsmen in other countries and regions must master twenty Chinese characters per week.If someone fails to complete the literacy task after inspection, the monthly bonus will be deducted, as well as weekly benefits in kind.

The monthly bonus is nothing more than that, even if you take the money, you can't use it.But the benefits in kind given out every week are quite a lot, such as a few dried fish, cloth, a glass of wine, a piece of cane sugar, and so on.

"Okay, my son, help your father. Those Chinese characters are too difficult to learn, and I still can't accurately identify them." Frank Ian shook his head and asked his child for help.

"Don't worry, father!" Lenny said with a smile, "You haven't found the rules of learning yet, but in fact, it's very easy." The latter sentence was spoken in pure Chinese.

The reason why the literacy movement was forced to be promoted among the artisans was because Qi Tian wanted all artisans to improve their literacy rate through continuous literacy activities.

Craftsmen who can read and write can not only record and pass on their familiar crafts, but also get some inspiration from other crafts or technologies through reading and writing.Because, in many industrial links, many technological processes or industrial technologies are linked to each other, promote each other, and even complement each other.

Sometimes, Qi Tian especially hoped that when Cao Xiong went to Daming, he could bring some great scientists from the late Ming Dynasty.In the many materials of later generations, we can see that many scholars of this era have almost opened the door to modern science, such as Xu Guangqi, Wang Zheng, Bi Maokang and so on.

Some of their theoretical knowledge and inventions were not behind Europe at all during the same period, and even some were ahead of them.

For example, Wang Zheng has an invention: the fire boat goes by itself.The boat navigates autonomously in the water, and "fire" powers the boat.Although it is not detailed in the description, if it is explained by current physics, it may be that the principle of "steam engine" is used to provide the power for the ship to run.

In this era, Qi Tian really wanted to prove it.If this society can provide a peaceful and innovative social environment for countless great scholars or unknown craftsmen in history, will our technology and development also lag behind the times?
"Now, we require that there must be a standard of measurement for various operations, whether it is workshops, military drills, or even crop planting." In a large masonry building, Qi Tian is giving more than 70 child in class.

"This operation must be quantitative. For example, in the workshop, the object you process must weigh, how much is the length and width, and what performance or demand can be met. You can't use vague words such as approximately and approximately to quantify. "

"Of course, some quantitative standards must be measurable and calculable. For example, the meter we stipulate, this unit of length. It is determined by one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the North Pole."

"The Spaniard Columbus sailed around the world, proving that the earth we live in is a sphere. The circumference of this sphere is about [-] kilometers, and the distance from the North Pole to the equator is exactly a quarter of its circumference."

"These data were calculated by a great Greek scholar more than 2000 years ago. I hope that one of you, when you grow up, will drive our Hanzhou ship to verify it on the spot."

The more than 70 children attending the class below are of different ages and levels.But Qi Tian couldn't do it yet, and divided these children into small classes one by one for graded teaching.

Without him, there is a lack of teachers.

He assigned the children Cao Xiong brought back one by one to the more than 30 teenagers who first learned from him.Help the later children to learn how to read and read.

Face-to-face teaching is not carried out every day. Qi Tian is basically arranged on every single day of the month for half a day of teaching.A more practical homework will be assigned once a week to consolidate and strengthen the knowledge learned.

"This week's homework is to draw a map of Jianye City and its surroundings. Divide into ten groups, combine freely, and complete within five days."

"Does the map need to include Fort Montenegro?"

"Since this is the first mapping operation, the scope is three kilometers around Jianye City."

Before the words were finished, several teenagers who had participated in the early stage establishment planning of Jianye City couldn't help showing a smug smile.

"Qi Yuanshan, Huang Mingfang, Zhang Qisheng,...Ding Chuangen, your homework is to draw a map within three kilometers around Heishan Castle." Qi Tian said with a smile to the complacent teenagers.

After the schoolwork was over, many teenagers rushed out of the classroom and went straight to the public cafeteria in the city.

"Chuangen, how are you lately?" Qi Tian walked to Ding Chuangen and asked with concern.

Ding Chuangen was stabbed twice in the back by He Laoliu, one of which injured his lung, and he was dying.Although Peng Laogui stopped the bleeding and healed the wounds in time, many people did not report their hopes.

However, Ding Chuangen miraculously crawled back from the gate of hell and saved his life.After nearly five months of treatment, he has recovered and is able to walk on the ground.But because of the damage to his lungs, he couldn't use his strength at all. Even if he walked a few steps, he would still be out of breath for a long time.

"It's my greatest blessing to be alive!" Ding Chuangen said slowly: "Recently, I've been studying how to set bones with my master."

Qi Tian nodded, did not speak any more, and accompanied Ding Chuangen to Peng Laogui's clinic.

After most of his illness was cured, Ding Chuangen suddenly became interested in medicine.It's not a saying that a long illness makes a good doctor, but he told Qi Tian that it was because he was afraid of death that he worked hard to learn medical skills and find a prescription for himself that could completely cure or alleviate the disease.

Regarding this, Qi Tian was noncommittal, no matter whether he was studying medicine to save himself, or fearing death to continue his life, the final result could relatively improve Hanzhou's poor medical level.

"Hei San, has my master rested?" Outside the clinic, they met an aborigine.

As the first native to join Jianye City, Hei San felt that his status was higher than all the natives.In terms of food, clothing, and supplies, those tribesmen in the Black Valley are far inferior to him.What's more, after several months of getting along, he can say what people on the beach say.

Of course, Black Three, this name was also given to him by Jianye City.A young man with malicious intentions once said in private that in Hanzhou, the Han people are the first and the barbarians are the second, so the aborigines can only be the third.Therefore, as the first native who ran to Jianye City, he had the name Hei San.

"My lord, I'm here." Hei San showed a flattering smile.All in all, the five months he spent in Jianye City were the happiest in his 20-odd years.

Although I will be ordered to do many things by the people by the sea, but at least I will not go hungry, let alone be often destroyed by wind and rain in the thatched hut.The food I eat every day is no longer the smelly and unpalatable "pocket beast", but a variety of soft food (flour) with taste, or that kind of granular food (rice), as well as fish, green of plants (vegetables).

If possible, Hei San is willing to work for the people by the sea all his life, no matter what he does.

"Uncle Peng, do you know about smallpox?" After seeing Old Ghost Peng, the first thing Qi Tian asked was this question.

When Peng Laogui saw Qi Tian, ​​his face, which was still laughing, suddenly froze, and then showed a nervous expression.
