Chapter 826 Teaching Assistant
The influence of smallpox on Changsheng County gradually disappeared. Although some people died from vaccination, the survivors no longer had to fear smallpox. After all, gratitude was much greater than hatred.

Production gradually resumed, and the Chinese Language School was further expanded. In the Changsheng County School alone, there were 23 Chinese language teachers and 270 registered Chinese language practitioners.

Their lectures are not only in the school, but also in the construction site of the sawmill, in the dense jungle, in the sweating cornfield and in the scorching brick kiln. According to the tribal leader, everyone knows that learning Chinese is an opportunity to change one's destiny.

Those registered Chinese language practitioners are not actually Han Chinese. They are the first people in this land to learn Chinese language.

His main occupation here is a potter's apprentice. He learns how to make bricks and tiles from his master. His monthly salary is [-] Wanli Tongbao, which is [-] higher than other apprentices, which is [-] taels of silver.

Even in Daming, this income is relatively high among ordinary people, and it can guarantee food and clothing.

The extra [-] tongbao is divided into three parts, [-] is the salary for part-time teaching of Chinese to the workers in the brick and tile factory, and the remaining [-] is the reward for him to have the ability to speak and write Chinese, so that he can be more handy in work and study; the other four A hundred is a bonus for his proficiency in work and hard work.

There are 270 natives like Long-legged Bear in Changsheng County. Their talents and jobs are different. The same thing is that no matter what they do, they learn faster and can get more rewards than others. Bonuses, naturally, are more respected by others.

What makes them respectful is not the paper printed with Wanli Tongbao, but that these papers allow them to have more.

They can go in and out of the Qingliangju teahouse, and listen to those Beiyang generals speak impromptuly. Although they can only buy a pot of green tea by gritting their teeth, the long-legged bear tried to speak a book by himself. Zheng Tu, the leader of his tribe, and Spain The story of the decisive battle between the two men was full of applause. It was such a great feeling to be eye-catching. Even the Beiyang Banner soldiers who were on vacation applauded him.

Not only did he have a Jinghai suit, but he also ordered a light blue long gown from a tailor shop, which is usually worn only by nobles who do not need to work in the fields among Daming immigrants. Although the fabric is not good, there are no low-key luxury dark patterns , but the long-legged bear is already very satisfied.

He is not a local, so he missed the good opportunity of the imperial court to repair houses for the common people. He rented a house in the south of the county for the same price as a small cup of tea, and lived in it with the little Mongolian horse he got in an earlier battle. .

In fact, what he got in the battle was an Andalusian horse, a tall Spanish horse. He and two soldiers from Zhuangyuan Bridge killed the Spanish light cavalry as a spoil. One of the two was trampled by the horse, and the other One man was cut through the cotton armor by the sword, separated the light cavalry's armor and long sword, and he took the horse.

Because he already had his own military equipment, the reward from the tribal leader Zheng Tu, a set of heavy cotton iron armor and helmet of the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty, and a well-made Ming waist knife.

His trophies were favored by the cavalry captain named Hulan under Beiyang Ma Shuai's command, and he exchanged a Mongolian war horse for the Andalusian horse at the price of teaching equestrianism. This deal is very suitable.

Yazhou, he can no longer find such a superb rider to teach riding skills, not to mention this horse from the 'Daming Shunyi King Tribe' is an excellent military horse, its hooves are as hard as iron, and it doesn't even need to hang its palms In any terrain like walking on the ground.

In the small courtyard house he rented, another family came from Shandong, Daming. There were seven members of the family. During the long period of half a month, the long-legged bear once thought that the old man's food for enjoying the cool was sugarcane burritos, and was deeply puzzled by it.

Why do people from the Central Plains eat sugarcane without spitting out dregs?
It wasn’t until he tasted it that he knew that the white vegetable was called scallion. After asking for advice, Long-legged Xiong learned the most correct and authentic way to eat scallion burrito. He heard the old man say that the best scallion in the world is born in Shandong. , that is a delicacy that can taste sweet, but not here, the sun is too much, and it is a bit bitter.

But the long-legged bear can only taste spicy, and the first few times he ate it, it was so spicy that he burst into tears, but after only half a month, he can already sit side by side with the old man in the yard to enjoy the cool, and eat it with green onion burritos. Excited.

I heard that the eldest son of the uncle is a county magistrate in Shandong, and the second son is a scholar. He followed his elder brother's orders and came here to join the Eastern Army. His second son easily got the post of county government official. Treated well.

The old man said that there was a well-made hand gun called "Law" hanging on the county government table, and it ordered all officials to prohibit corruption. Once the property was confiscated, the person was shot, but in contrast, the military government distributed the land to the officials. , Let them hire people to cultivate, for example, the county master has [-] acres of land, six people are allowed to be hired, and there is also a summer subsidy of [-] Tongbao in January.

Long-legged Xiong lived very comfortably in Changsheng County, going in and out of the Chinese Literature Hall, brick kilns and Qingliangju. A few days ago, a tribal leader from the south came to propose marriage, hoping to recruit him as a son-in-law according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, but Long-legged Bear didn't agree.

It's not that he looks down on that leader, nor does he dislike that girl, but he thinks highly of everyone in his family. That's what the teachers in the Chinese Language School teach. It's completely different from what the Spaniards do.

Those teachers said that if a person can't even look down on his own blood and his own compatriots, no one in this world will respect him.

Those teachers also said that whether a person can be respected by others does not depend on his intentional flattery, begging for mercy, or what color of bird he is, but on what kind of person he is and what kind of personality he has. Talent and future, Daming has given them the opportunity to learn talent and a bright future, this is the root of their respect.

These words were not spoken by the teachers. Those teachers were all gentle and elegant scholars from the Ming Dynasty, but because these were the original words of an Asian economic strategist who ordered them to tell everyone who studied Chinese, that’s why there was such relatively vulgarity. training.

This is also the confidence that Long-legged Bear refused the marriage contract, because "the people of Daming should not underestimate themselves", he believes that his learning ability and talent can make a difference in the Asian state of Daming, and he can rely on his own ability to become a respected person. people.

Just like those people from the Central Plains, here they get a piece of land of their own through the government, and through their hands, they have everything.

Maybe in the future it will be his turn to go to that tribe to propose a marriage, also in accordance with the tradition of Daming, but it will not be a marriage, because at that time, he must have created his own wealth.

It didn't take long for his opportunity to come.

The old man in the yard said that there are many immigrant villages without teachers, and the government is recruiting local people who are proficient in Chinese as teaching assistants, and they will go to remote villages to assist teachers in opening Chinese language classes. Mu idle fields, let him try.

Long-legged Xiong packed his bags one night, and hired a strong fellow hunter with Qibai Tongbao to put on his armor as a guard, ride on the Mongolian war horse, wear a smart Jinghai suit, and wear a suit from Changsheng. The transfer order from the county government was issued.

　Good morning!
