Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 134 Confused Cheng Yaojin!

Seeing the sunlight above his head, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but sigh that the days were passing by like years.

In that prison, every moment was really painful!

When he left the prison, the jailer also came out and gave Cheng Yaojin some money for his expenses.
Cheng Yaojin took it, feeling dazed and still feeling like he was in a dream.

How can you still do this after being captured by the enemy?

With a confused state of mind, he began to walk around the inner city casually.

In the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin was the most famous.

But in this day and age, without things like cell phone photos, a person’s fame was basically accompanied by a name, and once that real person appeared in front of someone else, that person would hardly recognize that he was a celebrity.

This is the case with Cheng Yaojin now. He rarely traveled around Jiangdong before. When he walked on the streets, the people in the inner city, who were once Han people, basically didn't recognize Cheng Yaojin. They just regarded him as a strong and sturdy man.

While walking on the street, Cheng Yaojin felt curious about all the new things he saw along the way.

Shibai Road, popcorn, pork, honeycomb briquettes…

Seeing a huge and rigorous building with elite soldiers guarding the door, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but pull a citizen from the inner city to ask.

"Hmm? Bro, hey, bro bro."

"Hahaha, let me ask you a question. What is that? Dayan No. 1 Primary School, what does that mean?"

He was extremely confused.

primary school?

What the hell is this!

Now, it is this thing called "primary school" that attracts Cheng Yaojin more than any new thing in Baiyun City.

"Well, are you someone who just joined the inner city of Baiyun City?"

The man being asked asked back.

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Haha, yes! I just joined, I just joined!"

The man suddenly understood and said with a smile: "This elementary school is similar to a private school."

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened: "Private school? Why not just call it a private school, but call it a primary school? That's so unsound! Brother, are you kidding me?"

Cheng Yaojin became suspicious.

Bullying him because he can't read?
This primary school looks much bigger than the private school, and it is also more magnificent and larger!
The largest private school in Chang'an City. He had visited it when he sent Cheng Chuliang to private school. It was totally incomparable to the "Dayan No. 1 Primary School" in front of him!
"Oh, brother, you don't understand this." The man tightened his hat to block out the sunlight, and continued, "Private school is just reading books, recognizing words, and reciting with the teachers."

"In our Yan country's primary schools, we teach astronomy, geography, physics and chemistry. This is incomparable to private schools!"

"But according to the people above, astronomy and geography are all subjects for middle schools and universities. They are now placed in elementary schools because the middle schools and universities have not been built yet. Currently, there are more than 20 elementary schools in our inner city. As for middle schools... I estimate that two will be completed in a few days."

What the hell?
Elementary school, middle school, university? Astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry?
Cheng Yaojin was full of question marks.

"What do you mean?"

The man laughed and said, "Illiterate, right? He should be."

"Judging from your appearance and accent, you must be from the southern part of the Tang Dynasty. It must have been hard for you to travel so far to reach our Yan Country."

"You can go in and study. Go ahead and listen. Our Yan country's primary schools are not as dull as those private schools in the Tang Dynasty. Only those who pay money or are from rich families are eligible to attend. Our primary schools, including middle schools, high schools, and universities in the future, treat everyone equally. As long as you want to learn, there will be someone to teach you."

"Of course, don't make trouble! Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you make trouble inside, the primary school principal, Guo Shoujing, will personally lead the soldiers to arrest you."

When Cheng Yaojin heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

illiteracy?

He can read!

Growing up, people always said he was simple-minded, but this was the first time someone said he was illiterate.

This is so girly!

Am I considered illiterate in Yan Country?
He was extremely unconvinced and wanted to go in immediately.

Cheng Yaojin walked into this primary school with mixed feelings.

Inside the elementary school. Classes are going on in the huge elementary school, but it is not quiet.

This class is full of quarrels, that class is full of reading, and another class is full of cheers...
It's very lively.

It was completely different from the private school environment where I read aloud with Datong.

Coincidentally, Cheng Yaojin saw a class led by a teacher in an open space, and it seemed that they were giving extracurricular lessons.

"Teaching?"

"Oh, I, Old Cheng, would like to see what you are teaching me, saying that I am illiterate."

"Although I, Cheng Yaojin, am not well educated or knowledgeable, I am still okay. Am I not as good as a child?"

Cheng Yaojin walked over quickly and stood next to a group of children.

The teacher who was teaching looked up at Cheng Yaojin, said nothing more, and then continued with his class.

"Children, today is our chemistry experiment class."

"How about today, the teacher will give everyone a show? Then we'll see which kid is smart enough to explain the principle behind it."

The teacher asked with a smile.

"it is good!!"

The group of children, who looked only seven years old, responded loudly.

The voice is sweet, tender and full of vigor.

They are the future flowers of Yan Country and the hope of the future.

Cheng Yaojin's eyes were shining.

These kids look so happy...
They are very different from the children in the private schools of the Tang Dynasty and even among the common people. They seem to have something called the future in their eyes.

Shake your head and don't think about it anymore.

Although Cheng Yaojin was impressed by this group of kids, he sneered at the following show.

Performance show?

Isn't this for amusing children?
Are these the things taught in Dayan’s primary schools?

Children in the Tang Dynasty were no longer old enough to watch TV programs at the age of four. Children of the same age as them had already started reading the Book of Songs and learning swordsmanship.

Much faster than them!

Cheng Yaojin shook his head.

He would lift his legs and go to the next class to listen to what the other classes were talking about.

However, just as he turned around, he heard the teacher smiling and saying, "Children, the teacher asks you, is it hot today?"

"hot!!"

The pupil yelled.

"It's hot. It seems that the program has been arranged. Since it's hot, the teacher will turn this basin of water into ice for you, okay?" the teacher asked with a smile.

"Good!" the primary school students shouted in unison.

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's leg, which had already taken a step forward, suddenly flew into the air.

Ok?
What the hell?
Myself...did I hear that right?

Cheng Yaojin's sturdy body shook, he put down his legs, and turned around again.

He stared at the teacher intently.

But the teacher didn't pay any attention to him and didn't even notice whether he listened or left.

At this moment, the teacher had already brought the water that had been prepared long ago to the group of children.
