Chapter 150
Early the next morning,
Lu Ming went to the village chief
"Village chief, can you rebuild the ancestral hall and plug the leaks? The students are too weak to withstand the cold wind."
The village chief looked embarrassed and said,"Mr. Lu, we are already building a new school. You and the children should hold on. You only need to survive for two days.""
"New school? Where is it?"
"Mr. Lu, please follow me."
The village chief took Lu Ming to an abandoned yard on the edge of the village.
The latest signs of renovation were clearly visible here, because the heavy snow last night buried the entire yard in snow.
Lu Ming looked around the yard, his eyes slightly bright.
There were three rooms in the yard, just enough for three classrooms.
Lu Ming looked at each room one by one and said to the village chief:"Village chief, let's build a fireplace in the school. This way the whole room will be warm."
Lu Ming gestured on the wall, and the village chief nodded, not quite understanding.
He looked suspicious.
"Mr. Lu, is this really warm?"
"Of course, believe me, it will definitely work."
Lu Ming said confidently.
The invention of the fireplace has solved the problem of heating difficulties in many cold places.
This is currently the simplest and most effective way of heating.
It only requires stones and firewood, and does not require a boiler to heat water for heating.
"Okay, I will tell the villagers."
The village chief nodded.
After listening to Lu Ming's two classes, he admired Lu Ming's knowledge very much.
He firmly believed that people with knowledge must be right.
Lu Ming smiled, said goodbye to the village chief, and came to the school.
The students here had already lit the brazier and were waiting.
But when Lu Ming saw the empty benches in the front, his brows frowned slightly.
"Why didn't Xiaofang and the others come today?"
Li Ermu stood up and said,"Sir, I heard that Xiaofang and the others were confined by their parents and were not allowed to come here for class."
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, wrote the second half of the Thousand Character Classic on a wooden board, and asked Li Ermu to read it. He then left the ancestral hall and went to the homes of Xiaofang and the other girls.
Lu Ming found the girls' parents and asked,"They study very hard, why don't you let them continue to study?"
"It's useless for a girl to learn knowledge."
Li Liehu's parents knew that Lu Ming was knowledgeable, so they didn't dare to offend him easily, so they had to bite the bullet and responded.
"What do they do at home?"
Lu Ming didn't think of reasoning with these people, but just asked calmly.
Several hunters looked at each other and said,"There are still animal skins that have not been processed at home, and chickens and ducks need to be fed. They are all chores."
"These things can be done in time without affecting their studies. Even if they want to get married in the future, they can read and write, and they can find a better in-law."
Several hunters were obviously tempted.
They have sons studying in the school.
When they have knowledge, they will definitely be able to leave this poor and remote place.
Then they can take them to the city, and they will be city people. Then their daughters can also find a good family to marry, and their lives may be better.
"But we don't have enough money to pay for the tuition."
"When did I ask you for tuition?"
Lu Ming shook his head and laughed.
This was the preconceived impression. You have to pay to enter the school.
After Lu Ming came, the villagers spontaneously stuffed food into Lu Ming's mouth.
But the problem was that Lu Ming never asked for anything from beginning to end.
If you give it to him, he will take it. If you don't give it to him, he won't starve to death.
He casually took out a low-grade spirit stone, which was a fortune that these people could not get after struggling for a lifetime. Why did he ask the villagers for tuition?
Several hunters looked at each other, and finally grinned with a simple and honest smile.
"Mr. Lu is a good man. We will send the child over now."
"No need, I will take them to the school."
Lu Ming waved his hand and called Xiaofang and the others' names loudly.
Several girls poked their heads out timidly, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
Lu Ming waved at them and said,"I have told your parents that you can continue to go to school."
The girls looked at their parents.
The hunters nodded and asked them to follow Lu Luming to the school.
In this way, the children in the village gathered again.
Lu Ming continued to teach Thousand Character Classic and Three Character Classic.
These two enlightenment books are easy to understand and you only need to remember the words.
Soon, Lu Ming found that the worst of these children could recite the Thousand Character Classic and Three Character Classic.
He didn't expect it to be so fast, so he had to search through his memory to find advanced reading materials.
But he found one thing.
What he learned in his previous life was almost useless here.
The scholars in this world are to better manage ordinary people.
It is more in line with the core ideas of several saints in previous lives.
Then the problem came. Lu Ming had never memorized books on this subject, so he couldn't teach.
After thinking about it, he could only teach things about mathematics.
In this world It's called counting sticks, and the more advanced one is overall planning.
They don't need the latter yet. When they learn it, they will basically be national talents.
But the former counting stick method can still be learned.
When Lu Ming began to teach the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, the new school was finally put into use.
Three spacious and bright classrooms.
The fireplace at the back was burning, warming the whole room.
The students felt unprecedented warmth in the room. They moved their frozen hands and feet, and their faces were filled with excited smiles.
Lu Ming looked at their innocent smiles and couldn't help but smile.
Lu Ming wanted to use all three classrooms.
He divided these students into three waves.
The older ones, headed by Li Ermu, who had learned things from other teachers before, were one class.
The rest were of moderate age, about ten years old, one was... class.
Finally, children aged four to seven or eight were assigned to one class.
There weren't many people in the village to begin with, with a total of about fifty or sixty households and about two hundred people.
There might be more children, more than seventy.
With this division, each class has more than twenty people, so the room doesn't look so empty.
During this time, Carpenter Li prepared extremely simple desks for the students, which was also what Lu Ming requested.
Lu Ming lived in Niutou Village, and subconsciously avoided showing off his cultivation in front of everyone, so the pens, ink, paper and inkstone were not distributed to everyone.
But Lu Ming had a better way.
He gave everyone a brush.
And equipped with a small blackboard.
The brush can be dipped in clean water and can also be used to practice calligraphy on the small blackboard, and it can be reused.
In this way, the slightly shabby school has taken shape.
Lu Ming travels back and forth between the three classrooms every day, teaching different things. He enjoyed it every day and completely forgot about his identity as a cultivator.
Only when he returned home and saw Chu Xuanjing did he realize that he still had cultivation.
However, as time went by, Lu Ming was completely immersed in the identity of a teacher. Even in his own small courtyard, he did everything by himself without any cultivation.
Chu Xuanjing looked at Lu Ming who was gradually returning to ordinary life. Knowing that he was in a state at this time, she simply stopped practicing sword and worked from sunrise to sunset as usual.
She would only sit in the room by herself when Lu Ming went to the school for class, practicing Qi and working hard.
Winter is gone and spring is here.
Because of the terrain, spring comes very late in Niutou Village.
When the winter snow melted and all things revived, it was already May of the following year.
Lu Ming sat at the gate of the school, looking at the big locust tree in the yard. The breeze blew, and the white locust flowers on it fell. Lu
Ming's heart gradually became quiet.
"Spring is back, everything is reviving, winter is turning into spring, is this the fusion of yin and yang?"
