"The sun and the moon are full, and the city is surrounded by a row of Zhang..."

In a corner of Bahe City, the tender voices of children echoed in a courtyard. This is the newly built elementary school (Mengguan) in Bahe City. All the children of residents of Bahe City are from four to seven or eight years old, and some of them are even over nine years old.≯＞.com

The residents of Bahe City are all families of soldiers from the Hulin Army and the Bazhou Navy Army, so this elementary school is actually a benefit to the soldiers. The main purpose is to allow children to recognize and write the most common words and to know simple addition and subtraction algorithms.

There is no tuition fee for admission to primary school. All fees are borne by Yu Wenwen, the governor of Bazhou. The children who enter school also have benefits. Each person has a full-filled cabbage at noon and afternoon after school.

Those who are willing to continue studying after graduating from elementary school are also high school “primary schools”, so that children who are studying can learn more knowledge, at least they can roughly understand the government’s notices and understand the contents of various contracts, and they also need to learn how to calculate numbers and abacus, and be able to perform common account calculations.

For example, how to find a supplement to buy and sell things, and how to convert common weights and measures are all basic knowledge that needs to be used in life. If you can graduate from "primary school", you can already write ordinary letters or help others read land deeds and house deeds.

The people have no hope of studying and becoming an official, but the ability of children to learn these basic knowledge is very helpful to their families. In addition, they have two meals a day and eat cakes, so every household sends their children to elementary school.

The age gap between the young children is quite large. The younger ones are less than four years old, the older ones are six or seven years old, and the older ones are nine years old. In order to maintain classroom order, the primary school is divided into classes according to age.

Those who are four and almost four years old are divided into small classes, those who are five to seven years old are middle classes, those who are seven and under nine years old are large classes, and those who are older will go to elementary school to study. After this division, there are about twenty people in each elementary school class.

Then there was a gentleman in each class who was responsible for teaching, and a curator and a few servants were responsible for daily management. The elementary school in Bahe City was so lively and taught.

Although there are fewer children studying, this is only temporary. At the end of last year and at the beginning of this year, many families in Bahe City married their wives and entered the house. In a few years, the source of students in this elementary school will be guaranteed.

It was noon, and it was almost time for school to end, and many parents had gathered outside the elementary school. Zhang Yu was one of them. His young nephew was studying in elementary school. Today, Zhang Yu went to Bahe City to do business and check it out.

His sister-in-law worked in the residence of Xiyang County Duke, and his little nephew also lived in the residence. Seeing that the little guy was about to be four years old, and the elementary school in Bahecheng was also teaching, the residence transferred Zhang Yu's sister-in-law to the "office" in Bahecheng to be the deputy manager, and by the way, her son was allowed to study in the elementary school.

"Little Yuer, don't worry, if you have everyone in the city, your sister-in-law and little nephew will never be wronged!" A middle-aged man laughed. He was the leader of the navy team, Zhang Yu and his sister-in-law, the old neighbor of the Xiangyang navy.

"With you and the old neighbors taking care of me, of course I feel relieved, just because I am afraid that Ah Kuru will cause trouble everywhere." Zhang Yu said. Ah Kuru is his nephew's nickname, and now he is at the age of starting to be naughty.

"Ah Kuru is not naughty. You have never seen the naughty bastard in my house. Thanks for his elementary school. Otherwise, no one would be watching at home during the busy farming season, and I don't know what would happen to the other bastards."

Many people around him nodded in agreement. They were either navy soldiers or Hulin soldiers' families. Everyone said that they had a place for elementary school and could be kept in the bunny every day. Otherwise, when the spring plowing begins, the adults would have to worry about keeping their eyes on others.

In fact, there are people in the city who know their own knowledge and they don’t have to pick up children after school. However, because it was not long since the school started, the director still asked parents to pick them up and drop them off on time, and they can let go after the children get familiar with them.

"Captain Liu, you're going to plow the fields, are you all getting it?" Zhang Yu asked. Many people smiled bitterly. They were born in the navy army and have been making a living on the water since the previous generation. When it comes to water nature or rowing, everyone's chests were slapping, but when it comes to farming in the fields, or planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms, they were blind.

"Where can I get it? At the end of last year, everyone was happy and worried when they divided the fields. They didn't know how to drive oxen and plow, or how to plant mulberry trees and raising silkworms.

"The leader of Team Liu smiled bitterly and said, "There are no farm tools. Fortunately, Deputy City Lord Tian organized people to teach them, and he could do it after more than a month of learning."

"When it comes the autumn harvest, I have to come over and eat a few bowls of rice!" Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"That's natural. You won't be able to come if you don't come then!" Team leader Liu and everyone laughed.

The navy soldiers were all seeking life on the water, so there was no field, so they had never been exposed to farm work. Last year, the Zhou army used troops to Jiangnan, and many people made military achievements to meet the standards of granting fields and obtained the land they had always dreamed of, which followed by the troubles of how to farm.

Zhang Yu was Yuwen Wen's personal servant, so he naturally knew that the Langzhu had noticed this problem. Therefore, while organizing manpower and material resources to help the soldiers clear the land, the Hulin Army also assigned manpower and farm tools to help the soldiers clear the land and plow the fields.

The Bazhou naval army was divided into two parts, part of which was the Xiangyang naval army that moved here to settle down, and part of which was the original naval army. No matter where they were, they were actually no different from fishermen. It was not that they didn't want to farm, but that they really didn't have the land for them to plant.

There are soldiers with difficulties in life and not even a decent house. The family is curled up in a wooden house with leaking air. They even miserable even regard the boat as their home. If a man comes back when he encounters a battle, it is okay. If he cannot come back, the family can only rely on the help of his neighbors to survive.

It was not until Yuwen Wen took office that he rectified the state soldiers and brought the Lu family in Bahe City that the reorganized naval soldiers had a serious house to live in. Now many people have taught the fields with their military achievements.

After getting the land deed, the soldiers were much more at ease. Because they had land, they had food. Even if they were unfortunately killed, their families could have a settlement. So everyone was grateful to the governor Yuwen Wen.

In addition, there are boats, and the lake in the northeast of Bahe City is rich in aquatic products. You can also make a lot of money by casting nets to catch fish during the slack farming period. Some people even make a lot of money by opening ponds to raise fish.

With the Hulin Army, a big customer, who has no worries about fish harvest and nowhere to sell, the navy soldiers are all ambitious and rely on their own hard work to create a happy and happy life for their families.

The bell rang out, and the parents who were waiting outside the gate were excited when they heard the sound. After a while, the primary school was in full swing. The children who had been "locked" for a whole morning finally came out of the cage and rushed out one by one, gnawing on the cakes.

No matter how big or small, each child is wearing clothes made of coarse cloth, with a uniform style and a slightly larger size. Each person wears cloth shoes and a cloth bag on his shoulder. This outfit is the characteristic of Bahecheng Primary School. Each child who enters school has two free sets. It is said that it is a "school uniform".

"Uncle! Uncle Liu!" A child shouted in a slight voice, holding a few bites of cake in his hand, leaving a few friends behind and running towards Zhang Yu.

"Ah, did you listen to your sir today?" Zhang Yu asked with a touch of the little guy's head. Team leader Liu asked the same question as a boy about nine years old, but his tone became much more stern.

"Uncle, Ah Kuru was not thug by the gentleman today!" He raised his head and looked at Zhang Yu's eyes full of pride. Zhang Yu nodded with a bitter smile when he heard this, asking the little guy to wave goodbye to Team Leader Liu, and then took his hand and slowly left.

"Uncle, where is my mother?"

"My grandma is busy in the yard. When I go back, I have to tell her about the matters in elementary school."

"Uncle, my mother said that if Ah Kuro studied hard, Ah Ye would go home after he recognized many words, right?"

"Ah? Ah...yes," Zhang Yu was stunned and then said. Seeing the little guy focusing on gnawing on the cake, he looked up at the sky and quietly wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes. "When Ah-Cru recognizes many words, Ah-Ye will go home."

......

In the northern suburbs of Xiyang City, a large manor is located on the south bank of the lake. This place was originally a wasteland full of reeds. It has been the property of Yuwen Wen, the governor of Xiyang County and the governor of Bazhou. Those who have entered the state prison without permission can stay for three days for free.

This place is not far from the city, but because the lake water rises every year during the rainy season, the land on the lake is often flooded and no one has reclaimed large areas of wasteland. However, since the drainage ditches were built and the lake water did not rage again during heavy rains last year, the lakeside has become a hot commodity.

It’s not that no one has ever had the idea of ​​land by the lake, and he should first make a fait accompli for forcing wasteland to be reclaimed. However, the newly appointed governor Yuwen Wen is not a good person and has already figured out the land situation around Xiyang City. Therefore, the unreclaimed land he did not reclaim when he took office, and no one would have reclaimed without permission after this.

Regarding the tests of many people, Yuwen Envoy said in one sentence: Reclaiming wasteland? Reclaiming wasteland must also be based on the basic... national laws!

So by the end of the year, the lands that were once flooded have now become popular. The ever-moderate convoy of Yuwen was no longer polite. He directly drew hundreds of hectares of lakeside land. After the land was opened, as his own land, of course, one hectares at this time were much smaller than the ones in later generations.

Yuwen Wen, the Duke of Xiyang County, has a fief in Xiyang County, Bazhou, and is also a parent official in this state, so Bazhou is no different from his own family. However, since Yuwen Wen took office, many measures have benefited the people of Bazhou, so everyone has no objection to Yuwen Wen’s land allocation.

After all, this was originally a wasteland. If Yuwen Wen had not been trying to organize manpower and material resources to build water conservancy, no one would have thought of reclaiming the lakeside land. Many of the mature land confiscated during the Tian Yuansheng rebellion were previously quelled, Yuwen Wen had allocated it to the poor state soldiers and the people of Xiyang. Now, as long as the wasteland is inconspicuous, it is even more unquestionable.

A carriage was driving on the newly paved gravel road, surrounded by guards and heading towards the core of the manor. Yuwen Wen sat in the carriage and looked out through the window. He was very satisfied with the wasteland that was being reclaimed on both sides of the road.

"Master Lang, are there rice and wheat rotations in these places this year?" Yuwen Shiwu asked excitedly. Today, the Hulin Army was resting. He accompanied the Master Lang Yuwen to inspect the new manor. He naturally looked happy when he looked at the land in the mansion.

"It is only rice and wheat that needs to be rotated by rice and wheat. Other fields need to be planted, so they naturally cannot be rotated by rice and wheat." Yuwen Wen replied. He was in a good mood today, so he talked too much.

"Do you want to grow Eucommia?"

"There are many Eucommia ulmoides on the side of Tian Zongchang, and they are currently using them, so the first one to plant grapes in the manor." Yuwen yawned. It was very hard to fight with his wife last night, so he was slightly insufficient to sleep.

"Grapes? Can grapes be grown in this place?"

"Or what do you think is planted in the backyard?" Yuwen Wen asked back.

"If you have to plant so many hectares of grapes, does Langzhu want to make wine? It seems that the wine produced in Longyou is delicious."

"Who knows, maybe the wine produced in Xiyang will be sold well!"

While speaking, the carriage had already entered the manor. You could vaguely hear the sound of Lang reading aloud from somewhere in the manor. Yuwen Wen got out of the car and led by the butler Li Sanjiu who rushed over to the news, he came to a yard.

Yuwen Wen undoubtedly transformed into the class teacher again, walked into the yard and came out of a room. He looked inside through the window and saw more than 30 young children studying, their average age was about six years old, including men and women.

"Refers to the firewood Xiuhu, Yongsui Ji Shao..."

"The rule step leads, and the temple is drawn and tilted..."?

The young children followed the husband in an orderly manner and read the thousand-character text. Seeing that they were all focused, Yuwen Wen couldn't help but nod. These boys and girls were orphans he had come to An 6 and then adopted.

Their parents had long died. Some were holding their parents' bodies on the side of the road and crying loudly, while others were lying in the corner and dying. Yuwen Wen brought all the adopted orphans back to the house.

Those who could be saved later lived in the mansion and became servants of Xiyang County Duke. Among them, those who were healthy and smart and studious were selected as training objects. After the enlightenment, Yuwen Wen personally taught them.

It has been two years since then, only three orphans and four-year-old orphans were five or six years old, and they were at the age of studying. Yuwen Wen’s requirements for these orphans are stricter than those of ordinary primary school.

They eat well and wear warmly, and can be taken care of when they are sick, but they are not treasures that they provide. They have to do things within their ability on weekdays, such as cleaning and wiping furniture.

But the most important thing is to read and practice calligraphy, because this is related to Yu Wenwen's next plan. He just stood outside and listened to the sound of reading until the bell rang out after class.

When Li Sanjiu saw Yuwen Shiwu wink, he then coughed dryly and walked to the door of the room several times, bowed to the teacher, and returned the gift and packed the desk and walked out of the classroom.

An older boy saw Yuwen Wen appear at the door and then stood up and shouted "Stand up". The child stood up quickly and stood up straight when he heard this. After seeing Yuwen Wen walk to the desk, he bent down respectfully under the guidance of the boy and shouted in unison: "Master Lang!"

Everyone is wearing uniform clothes, just like the students in Bahe City’s primary school. Both men and women are very energetic and have no confusion or fear at all.

"Today, the Lord of the Lang is here to test everyone's calculations. Are you all ready?" Li Sanjiu asked from the side. Seeing the boy answering yes, Yuwen Wen nodded and then looked at the children in front of him.

"sit down!"

When the children heard this, they sat down together. Yuwen Wen then said, "Student number 37!"

"Yes!" a boy stood up and replied after hearing this.

"Multiple formula...How much does Sanqi get?"

"Twenty-one for three to seven!"

"How much does it cost?"
