Otherworldly Days

Chapter 283

On the day of February 28, the academy started school.

The academy is officially named "Luyuan Academy", which means that the road is long and long, and the road to study is endless.

The spring morning of this year was originally scheduled to start in March, but it was finally brought forward to the end of February.The early spring means that the season of the year is early, and I am afraid that winter will be early, and it will be cold early, and the academy will also have an early holiday.

The rising sun pierced through the clouds, and Fang Liang was a genius. Early in the morning, my father and mother rushed to bring their children to the academy to go through the admission procedures. They were afraid that their seats would be snatched away later.

On this day, it was as if everyone had come to the academy for a market. The entire academy was bustling with activity. As soon as they entered the gate, there were people there to guide the people who came.

"Those who have signed up to read to their children, please go this way."

"Four to six years old come here."

"Children from seven to ten years old come here."

"Come here if you are over ten years old."

The collection in the academy is still the same as it was said at the beginning. Children between the ages of four and six are exempt from training and are sent for enlightenment education.As for children from seven to ten years old, half of the Shuxiu is given, and the education is carried out at different stages, and the last one is for children after ten years old.

Reading is not just for children to obtain fame in the future. The most basic point is literacy, and then it is targeted for these children who come here to learn some skills for survival in the future.

As for those who are over ten years old and want to obtain fame in the future, such children must be able to read and learn from an early age. These children will go to Zheng Shubo and Zheng Xiucai to take the exam.After all, Zheng Shubo has the title of a scholar here, which is much better than ordinary gentlemen.

You must know that there has never been a scholar in these ten miles and eight townships. Now there is a scholar who is tutoring their children in this academy. These people are eager to send their children to this Zheng Xiucai.

"The second boy in my family is only six years old this year, and will be seven years old next year."

"Your second boy is obviously the same age as my third boy. I remember my third boy was born in February, and your second boy was born in March. Why is your second boy only six years old? My third boy Seven years old."

"You, you are talking nonsense, my second kid is obviously only six years old this year."

"Don't lie, your second boy is seven years old!"

Naturally, some people who come here are lucky and want to report their children's age younger, so that they can let their children study, and they will give less one year's training, which is more cost-effective.

In the end, all such people were forcibly invited away, but there were still several orders like this.

"I don't want this kind of thing to happen in the future. Children aged three to six come here for enlightenment education, and older ones will be trained accordingly. Those who want to be chefs will become chefs and carpenters in the future. If you want to be a carpenter, once you finish your studies here, your children will be able to go out and work for you to earn money.”

"What you are doing now is not only wasting the child's time, but also delaying the child's future." Cao Xiangnan had to come over and explain the pros and cons to everyone in this busy day. It is a matter of small money, but it delays the future of the child.

With his explanation in this way, people here can understand a little bit.

"So now, please lie to the child's age, and stand on the other side according to the child's age."

"If your child is under the age of seven, you can send it to the second level to study the corresponding major, but this course will be charged according to the second level." Naturally, no one will foolishly understand that the child It can be exempted from Shuxiu, but they have to go to send the child to the second level, and give half of Shuxiu again.

At the front, I strictly dealt with a few people who wanted to fish in troubled waters. At the time, Cao Xiangnan gave a speech, explaining the pros and cons to everyone, so that everyone can understand the truth that it is not about the money, but the delay. own children.

Most of the children here are born without household registration, so some men and brothers who come to enroll their children in school ask them to provide their children's household registration, but they don't have it either, "It's impossible, your family If your child has not registered, you must register your child’s household registration before April [-]st, and bring the certificate to the academy.”

"Otherwise your children do not have this household registration certificate, and your children will not be able to obtain meritorious service in the future."

It costs a few dollars to settle in. Some people don’t even want to spend the money. Many people never leave their small village for the rest of their lives. The farthest they go is Fenshui Town. They don’t need a household registration at all. .

But it's different now. Everyone is rushing to send their children to study, for fear that other people's children will learn skills after studying, and their children will not know anything.In the past, the family's money was held by the parents, and they didn't even have a penny in their hands. Now that the family has been divided for the sake of the children, they naturally have other money in their hands. By the way, we were able to drop family register of child.

In the entire Feng Dynasty, the population management was also relatively strict. When entering from one place to another, one had to show this household registration to pass through another city. So really, unless they plan to let their children stay in a small village all their lives, they still can't get out of this Fenshui town for the rest of their lives. When they can go, they will regret it, so this certificate really has to be done.

The whole academy Cao Xiangnan decided by referring to the classification of the school he came from in his world, and taking into account the actual situation here. There are only three reasons for going to school, one is that the child can read and the other is that the child can make money , the last one is that the child can be admitted to the number one scholar among scholars.

Most of the people here only know that children's study is a test of fame, and they don't think about the previous point.

Enrollment for young children is an enlightenment education, and the middle stage is to teach them the skills of survival, and the final step is to obtain fame.Not all people have to go for the number one in their studies, but this is a thought in many people's minds, so Zheng Xiucai is very useful here at this time.

The first day was busy dealing with the admission problem, which was much more messy than Cao Xiangnan imagined.He had arranged things before, and divided them up one by one. Later, he still had to deal with a lot of things in person. He ran around all day, until both feet were about to break.

On this day, the admission procedures are completed, and school can start the next day.

The curriculum for the children was decided after discussion. What should be taught to the first graders and what to be taught to the second graders. Cao Xiangnan also shared some of his ideas with everyone. After discussion and communication, everyone finally decided on a plan.

Things on the side of the academy went smoothly, and it took three days of busy work before the matter on the side of admission was finished.The teachers here in the academy also started classes every day, and the children from the neighboring villages would come to the academy early in the morning, and the teacher would give them lectures and start a day of study.

"There are no places here now, right?" There are no places in the academy, and some people want to send their children here, so Cao Xiangnan gave a compromise, "Ask them if it's okay, the academy There will be another weekend class here." The academy here adopts a weekly system, that is, seven days a week, and children only need to attend classes for five days, and rest for the next two days.He intends to use the next two days to hold weekend cram schools for some illiterate boys and men in the village. It is too late now, and some people still want to send their children here. There is no place left, so he has to do this weekend. The class's idea is to arrange the children for these two days.

There are many more people who come to the academy to study than he imagined, and people from all over the world have also sent their children to study, and in addition, children from every household in Caojia Village have sent their children to the academy. The classrooms for reading and preparing are already full.

If we wait later, we can only wait for Master Feng to build a new courtyard, and then all the things in the academy will be subdivided slowly.

As for his second brother, Cao Xiangnan knew that school started and sent some money to his father, asking him to give his second brother some money for the children to study.As for what they were going to do with it, it was none of his business, he just sent the money.

After working for three or five days in a row, the affairs of the academy were almost implemented. Every morning, the sound of Lang Lang's reading began to come from the academy.

These villages have become very different.

The children in the family were also sent to study in the academy. Qi Wanfeng and Sun Bailian went to the town in a carriage every morning. At home for dinner, they all came back from the town at that time.

They took the two little ones with them, and Xiao Le'er could eat and sleep well wherever she threw them, while Xiao Bao'er went to a strange place and whimpered for several days, and it was not until the day after tomorrow that she slowly got used to it. .

"My darlings." Back home at night, Wan Feng and the children also came back, Cao Xiangnan reached out to pick up his little boy, he also liked his little boy better, so it was easier to toss about.

Little Bao'er would cry whenever he did it, and his daughter-in-law would be anxious with him.

Caught the child playing for a while, the dinner was ready, the adults and the child went to the table to eat together, and at this moment, Xiao Le'er could also drink some clear soup and rice water, which was more filling than drinking goat's milk. Even more chubby.
