Chapter 246: Taking Students on a Campus Tour

Li Nian continued, "Although school has started today, there will be no classes today. We will do the following: First, we will divide the students into classes. A 'class' is similar to a 'team' or a 'squad'. There are more than 700 of you. It is not convenient to gather them together for class. We need to divide them into classes and teach them separately."

"Each class has a foreman, who is not only the teacher of the class, but also responsible for managing the class. When you encounter problems, you can ask them for help. Later, they will also explain the rules that need to be followed."

How could one not understand this? Isn't it just like they are soldiers and the leader is the general, responsible for leading them?

Li Nian assigned a class teacher with unique characteristics for each class. The class teacher for class one was Zhuang Huang, and the class teacher for class two was Li Shiqi...

Many students were surprised to hear the names Li Nian said. These people were all on the list of Xianyang examination, and were among the top. Yet, they would become their leading teachers.

"There are fourteen classes in total. We will start from Class One now. Those whose names are called should report to the head teacher."

Guo Dian on the side handed Li Nian a piece of paper, which was the class list that had already been divided. This list was not randomly assigned by drawing lots, but was made after careful discussion between Li Nian and some people.

Although these students are all from Qin, they come from different places, are of different ages, and come from different classes. Moreover, there are more than a hundred female students, so careful consideration is required.

Li Nian didn't have to do this kind of thing, but Li Nian thought that since this was his first class of students, he could do more, and future students would not have such treatment.

After the classes were divided, Li Nian said, "The second is to collect textbooks, the third is to assign dormitories, and the fourth is for the head teachers to explain the rules to everyone."

"But these things are done by each class. Now, as a class, follow me to the viewing booth where you will study and live in the future."

The students had been looking forward to it for a long time and wanted to know what was special about their studies. Under this person's arrangement, it should be different from what they knew before.

The first place they visited was the playground. Li Nian introduced: "This is the sports field, and it is also the main place for you to take physical fitness classes in the future. As the name suggests, physical fitness classes are to make the body strong."

"To grow into a person who is useful to oneself and the country, one needs not only profound knowledge but also a strong body, that is, 'civilize the mind and strengthen the body'."

For most students, this is not difficult to accept. Unlike some eras in later generations, when people only needed to read the classics of sages, why bother with exercising?

"This is a football field. 'Football' is a ball that is kicked with the feet. It is a very interesting sport. When you learn about it in the physical training class in the future, you will find that some people will like it."

Although it is unlikely to promote football on a large scale in Daqin, to be honest, it is not necessary. Everyone gets enough exercise from their daily work. Do they still need to play football?
The reason why people rebel is not that they have nowhere to vent their energy and it can be eliminated by promoting football, but that the harsh government is more ferocious than a tiger and makes them unable to survive, which leads to rebellion.

You tell Chen Sheng and Wu Guang that you must be rebelling because you have too much energy and have no place to vent it. I will build a stadium for you so that you can vent your excess energy. In this way, you should not rebel anymore. Let's see if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang will slap you in the face. Are you rebelling because you have too much energy?

But Li Nian still built one for these students in the Qin Palace, which not only gave them a way to exercise and strengthen their bodies, but also resolved the resentment against the national football team in modern times. Since the Qin Dynasty started playing football, the rules were set by themselves, so it shouldn't be as bad as it is now, right?

When Li Nian mentioned football, some of the teachers who followed him nodded. They had played with football in the past when they were not compiling dictionaries and teaching materials. It was indeed quite interesting.

"Each class will have a physical fitness class every day, and there will be group physical fitness activities (break exercises) in the morning and afternoon. There will also be corresponding physical fitness tests (physical tests) every semester, and a group competition (school sports meeting). The competition items will include football, running, long jump, fighting, horse riding, archery, fencing... If you win the competition, you will receive corresponding rewards."

This era is not as peaceful as the modern era. During their studies, these students must master some self-defense skills so that they can deal with certain critical situations.

The students had no objection to this, nor did they feel that there was anything wrong, because this was also what other people of the time taught. It goes without saying that the Mohists were good at fighting, and the Confucians were also good at both civil and martial arts, and could scold people when they were dismounted, and chop people when they were mounted.

I just didn't expect that he attached so much importance to physical fitness and set up so many physical fitness programs. They should have many special experiences studying here.

Continue walking to the teaching area. Unlike modern high-rise buildings, these classrooms are bungalows. The style and construction materials of these classrooms are somewhat special. They are different from the common houses in Daqin. The windows are even decorated with that kind of strange water jade.

This is where they are going to learn to read and write?
It's such a luxury!
There were two huge blackboards on the walls of the classroom. Some of them had heard of this thing and said that one could write on it. In the future, the teacher would write on it and they would follow behind.

The floor of the classroom was paved with cement, and tables and chairs were already placed there. There was also a high table (lectern) that seemed to be where the teacher gave lectures.

They were now looking at a classroom. Some quick-witted students counted the tables and chairs in the classroom and found that the numbers did not match. There were more tables and chairs than the number that was read out when the classes were divided.

Li Nian said: "This is where you will study in the future. You will learn humanities, history, geography, mathematics, and the study of things. When you have made a certain progress, there will be an examination like the Xianyang Examination. The results of the examination will be recorded, and those who fail the examination multiple times will be expelled."

Children, feel that “tests are the teacher’s magic weapon, and scores are the students’ lifeblood”. If you don’t want to be eliminated, roll up.

"At the end of your studies, different decisions will be made based on your usual performance and assessment results. I hope you will study hard and don't be discouraged."

After hearing what Li Nian said, all the students felt a chill in their hearts. They felt the deep malice before they even entered school, especially the children of princes and nobles.

If they were persuaded to leave here, it would be a disgrace to their ancestors. How would they be treated when they return home? It is conceivable that learning to read and write here is not easy and may even be very painful.

Li Nian noticed the bitter expressions on some people's faces and thought to himself, this is nothing, we haven't even set up a final elimination system for you, and you're already so stressed?

He would not implement happy education in Daqin, and Daqin's current situation was not suitable for that. He had to put pressure on these students. If he wanted Daqin to develop rapidly, he had to urge them to study hard and master the later knowledge taught by Li Nian to become the foundation for Daqin's development.
