[044] Let's focus on education
Long Hao said to Long Bo and others: "One method of Chinese pinyin is simple and easy to understand. Otherwise, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven for those indigenous children to learn my Chinese characters!"
The goal set by Long Hao for the native children is: each person must know ten words a day. If they know less than ten words, their family’s meals in the atonement brigade will be halved. If they know more than thirty words, their family members will be able to
Get a day off and don't have to work in mining. If more than half of the native children fail, all the natives will be starved for a day!
The brown-skinned teenager Colette asked: "What can I do to release my parents?"
Long Hao replied: "Learn Chinese, speak Chinese fluently, and be recognized by the Dragon Scale Party, and contribute to the development of the Dragon Scale Party!"
"What contribution?"
"For example, joining the army, killing 10 enemies or performing third-class meritorious services, such as doing work and earning more than 2,000 US dollars for the company..."
With this policy of atonement for family members, after school started, the enthusiasm of native children in learning Chinese Pinyin was significantly higher than that of Chinese children.
Long Hao saw something wrong at first glance. These Chinese villagers had really been made lazy by themselves! Learning the native language was still free, so how could they work like foreigners?
Long Hao sent people to investigate, and almost lost his temper and twisted his nose when he learned the result: Except for the Longlin Party (few of the Longlin Party had children), most of the villagers felt that it was a waste of manpower for children to go to school.
In this free time, it is better to follow the adults to open up the wasteland, find mines, or at least to hunt, and develop a good body so that in the future, you can join the Dragon Scale Army and get high salary and high pay!
Moreover, there has been a saying in China since ancient times that "it is virtue for a woman not to have talent." The villagers were very confused by Long Hao's requirement that all children under ten years old, regardless of gender, must go to school. When girls grow up, they must marry and provide for their husbands and children.
, what are you doing reading so many books? If you read too much, you will be like the Yingying in "The Romance of the West Chamber" who eloped with a man. It is inappropriate, very inappropriate!
But after all, this is Master Long's order. Although the villagers dare not disobey it, they are inevitably disobeying it!
Okay, it seems that without some kind of "rectification movement", these villagers really think that the good days are set in stone?
Long Hao got angry and issued an order: On February 20, everyone should stop all activities and gather in the main square of Guangming Village to announce something important!
On February 20, 1891, the wind was high and the air was cold, and the sun was like a knife. Long Hao and the core members of the Longlin Party stood on the high platform and announced: Huaxia Town was established, and all people with household registrations were citizens of Huaxia Town. Huaxia Town
It is not under the jurisdiction of any known country in the world. The townspeople need to abide by the laws and regulations and must not sell out the interests of Huaxia Town...
The villagers, ah no, are now called townspeople. They have no objections to the establishment of Huaxia Town. They used to be under the control of the Longlin Party, but now they are under the control of Huaxia Town. It’s just a change of name. It’s a change of soup but not a change of medicine! What they really care about
, are the following reform policies!
First, all residents of Huaxia Town, aged 16 to 45, must undergo military training for three months every year, serve in reserve service, and receive half the pay of the regular army.
Second, in each village of ten thousand households, in addition to the routine patrols of the security divisions, the residents of each household must take turns to help manage public security and guard against further indigenous sneak attacks.
Third, the village is divided into administrative and military areas, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach important places like the armory.
Fourth, babies born in Huaxia Town automatically obtain household registration and enjoy Huaxia Town government subsidies. All school-age children must go to school and be literate. They are assessed once a month. Those who fail to pass will have their corresponding subsidies cancelled! Those who fail to pass within six months will have their subsidies cancelled.
Household registration, family tax amount increased by 50%!
Fifth, Huaxia Town began to collect taxes, and each person paid income tax at 5% of his income.
Now in Huaxia Town, every woman, as long as she is not working or serving in the military, enjoys a monthly subsidy of 10 US dollars, and a monthly subsidy of 6 US dollars for children. Once it is cancelled, although it will not have a big impact on the family, it will also make all the townspeople pay attention to it.
.
Master Long, you are dissatisfied with us!
And the taxation policy made the townspeople open their eyes and face it: the 5% tax is really too low, and an additional 50% is nothing, but... if a child fails to pass the half-year assessment,
Your household registration will be canceled! Losing your household registration in Huaxia Town is a huge punishment!
Not only are the 1.5 times salary and allowances gone, but the disability and death benefits are gone, and the neighbors have to poke their spines. I can’t afford to lose that person!
So after they dispersed from Guangming Square, the townspeople began to discipline their children when they returned: Study hard for me, and sister will take the lead. If anyone is unqualified, I will make his or her ass blossom! Hit him or her hard with ice!
On February 21st, Long Hao stood on the teaching platform and was pleased to find that the Chinese children were studying very hard!
The words are divided into two parts. From the end of January to the beginning of February, Long Hao was busy with education, but Schmidt could not wait to take action. He brought people and tools, took Ramos, and went to the north to find new gold mines.
.
With the emergence of Wenwenyu, Longyi Gold Mine and another small gold mine also began to resume operations. They were monitored by the Dragon Scale Army, with the 'Atonement Brigade' as the main force, digging into the caves and refining gold nuggets.
The emergence of the miraculous alchemy species, the warm fish, really amazed everyone. Putting dozens of golden warm fish in a bucket can ensure that a 3-meter-wide area is as warm as spring, and the miners can work without any pain for a whole day.
question!
In addition, there are some smart people who took the lead to put the warm fish in small jars, put them in the room, or put them in the wild. Dozens of jars were lined up. This room, or this wild area, seemed to be enchanted.
Usually, the cold winter turns into warm spring in the blink of an eye! It’s so comfortable that your limbs feel numb!
On February 8, the breeding of warm fish has developed to ten lake fishing villages. Xin Ruozai took a carriage leisurely and went to various fishing villages to preach the experience of raising warm fish, how to raise warm fish smaller and maintain the temperature.
As time goes by, it becomes a subject that these fishermen are scrambling to study!
On February 17, Schmidt sent back good news. A gold mine was discovered 40 kilometers north of Dream Port. The reserves are estimated to be between 100 and 150 tons. Although it is not as good as Longyi, it is still a large gold mine.
!
After hearing that Schmidt had discovered the gold mine, he laughed so hard that he breathed in a lot of cold wind and was sent back to the hospital for treatment, which made Long Hao and others happy for a few days.
Long Hao said to him: "My dear doctor, don't you know what it means to be calm? It's just a gold mine, how can you be so happy?"
"Calm down? Calm down!" Schmidt yelled on the hospital bed in non-standard Chinese: "150 tons, these are all from Schmidt Mining Company, I have 10%, which is 205 tons.
Ten thousand pounds! Hahaha, I, Schmidt, am also a millionaire!"
Long Hao was immediately speechless: Money obsessed! The Jewish desire for money is really engraved in their DNA!
Schmidt was so happy that he fell ill, but Long Xiaohu was so worried that he almost had to live in Wang Langzhong's health room.
To use Wang Botao's original words: "Hey, Uncle Hu, who was originally optimistic, now runs to the dock three times a day and has almost become the meal clock for the sailors there!"
Indeed, since Long Xiaohu received Long Hao's promise that he could return to China to find his son, he has been looking forward to the stars and the moon all day long, waiting for the Homecoming to enter the port. After finishing his work in the morning, noon and evening, he will go to the dock each time.
, causing the sailor parked there to say half-jokingly: "President Long, let's make you the honorary cook squad leader! As soon as you come, we will have food to eat. When I see you, my stomach will growl.
Yes! Hahaha..."
After Long Hao heard about it, he counted on his fingers. The Homecoming Cruise departed from Seattle at the end of August last year. It has been more than five months now. How long does it take to collect people and search for talents? No way.
Something happened?
Just when Long Hao was wondering whether to send the Pioneer to venture into the country to investigate, on February 25, the stern figure of the Homecoming slowly sailed into Guangming Harbor.
[Tomorrow is Monday again. I wish you all good luck in your work! I have to go to work too. Writing a book is not easy. Please give me a ticket or reward to make my streaking journey next week healthier and more passionate.
