Chapter 212: Eight years without illiteracy

The faculty of Central University was also very scarce at the beginning.

The teachers of the Normal College asked Sima Hui and his friends and students to serve as the teachers, and at the same time asked famous teachers such as Zheng Xuan to come and give lectures from all over the country.

Although Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning and others were very resistant to Lu Bu's concept of "national education", they had to appreciate Lu Bu's vigorous and decisive move to promote Confucianism to all the people. They were both afraid and respectful of Lu Bu, and at the same time, they came to Central University with a competitive mentality.

Although Lu Bu had no good feelings for these famous teachers who were seeking fame in his heart, he was very courteous to these famous teachers on the surface based on his pragmatic attitude.

His attitude also infected the students of the university. These students all actively asked those famous teachers for their advice with the mentality of "seeking truth but not doing nothing". They were very different from most of the so-called disciples of these famous teachers. The reason why those disciples defected to these famous teachers was to use the reputation of these famous teachers to make a fortune for their career.

The students of Normal College do not follow the career path and devote themselves to academic teaching and educating people. Their desire to learn is stronger, which has won the favor of those famous teachers. Zheng Xuan stayed in Yecheng for a long time and fell in love with it, so he happily accepted as the honorary dean of the Normal College.

In addition to Hu Zhao, Sima Hui and Lu Zhi, Lu Bu also gave lectures. Generals such as Tian Feng, Ju Su, Dong Zhao, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Han Hao, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Qu Yi and other generals also had lectures. Lu Bu hated the system of former officials of the disciples, so he did not designate the tutors separately for the students.

Under the intentional or unintentional guidance of Lu Bu, the students of the Central University and especially the Military Academy knew that they were just one student, that person was Lu Bu, and the others were just one of their teaching teachers.

In addition to studying the "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Sima Law", "Six Strategies", and "Three Strategies", the more important course is the "War Examples" taught by Lu Bu himself. In this class, Lu Bu took all the wars and battles in history since this period as cases, such as the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Qiting, the Battle of Feishui, and so on. Of course, the characters in the time and the characters changed. Lu Bu talked about these cases like a storyteller, and the students listened to them with relish, but they were troubled every time they were over.

The homework Lu Bu gave them was, assuming they were the failure side, how to prepare at the beginning and how to mobilize troops in the battle to win. It was not Lu Bu who corrected their homework. Lu Bu did not have this time, but asked Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others to help.

Of course, the courses taught by other generals are mostly related to their military careers, both theoretical and practical. The students listened very vigorously, learned very vigorously, and improved quickly.

The Political Academy has lecturers such as Hu Zhao and Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, Ma Rizhe, Liu Hong, Zheng Tai and other senior civil servants, and were also invited to lecture on the ways of being an official, the law, and the strategy.

The lecturers of the Military and Political Academy are mostly long-time generals in the military and old ministers in the court. Such professors are hundreds of times better than those who have never had ivory towers and have no practical experience as professors.

The School of Literature and Arts has lecturers such as Cai Yong, Chen Lin, Lu Cui, etc., and also invited famous talents from home, such as Kong Rong, to come to teach.

The Technical College has lecturers such as Zheng Hun, Tian Chou, and Li Zhi, and other technical officials also participated in the lectures. When Lu Bu was lecturer at the Normal College, everyone from the Technical College had to listen.

The lecturers of the Women's College include Cai Yan and other talented women in the family of court ministers. Lu Bu's wives and concubines Yan Lin, Diao Chan, Wu Xia, Zhen Jiang and others also have courses. Yan Lin and Zhen Jiang mostly teach Tao Zhu's studies, Wu Xia teach martial arts, and Diao Chan teaches the experience of Nu Hong and female officials.

Lu Bu strictly restricts the qualifications of university teachers. People without practical experience cannot be teachers, but can only be teaching assistants. They must work in corresponding positions for many years and have rich practical experience before they can enter university teachers. For example, those who have not been in the army cannot give lectures in the military academy.

Lu Bu knew that setting up an education system like primary schools, middle schools, and university schools does not constitute the completion of the universal education plan.

Those five or six-year-old dolls who entered primary schools would have to wait ten years later if they became successful. Lu Bu is short of people now. In less than ten years, he wants to reduce the illiteracy rate under his jurisdiction to less than 20% within ten years, and the number of people who are literate must reach more than 80%.

The standard for literacy is not just knowing how to write one's own name, but knowing how to read and write 3,000 commonly used words. The teachers trained by the Normal College alone are far from enough to teach millions of illiterate literacy in just a few years to know how to read and write 3,000 commonly used words.

Lu Bu was at a loss. When he was having dinner at home, he told his three beautiful wives about his plans and problems he encountered.

Diao Chan was not only the most beautiful but also the smartest among the three wives. She thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Husband, you are not in the elementary school. The middle school has set up teaching assistants to let outstanding students be teachers' assistants to help those backward students improve. Chan'er thought that in most families, the children who study in elementary school and middle school are better than their parents in literacy. The husband can completely order that the students in primary school must teach their parents what they learned that day after they go home, and must let them teach them!"

"Cancean, you are so smart!" Lu Bu hugged Diao Chan, kissed her red lips heavily, and then said excitedly: "In terms of my learning experience, teaching the knowledge I just learned to others is very conducive to the consolidation of my own knowledge. In this way, those children not only help their parents get rid of blindness, but also learn more solidly by themselves!"

When he thought that this proposal could help him change the fortune of the entire Han Dynasty, Lu Bu didn't want to eat rice. He wanted to immediately call all the civil officials to discuss matters and establish this system, but Yan Lin grabbed him: "Husband, why can't you change your anxious attitude? You don't have to hurry up and go there for a while. Isn't it too late to go after dinner?"

Wu Xia said seriously: "Husband, you can't do this in the future. You have to eat without saying anything. You have to help three meals. Otherwise, over time, your spleen and stomach will be damaged. How can you assist the emperor in reviving the great man?" Wu Xia was born in the Wu family of Chenliu and has made some research on health care.

Lu Bu thought about it and said that he is now the lord, and he must learn to maintain health for the sake of the world's plan. The older he lives, the better the future of the Han people. He can no longer be as good as his previous student, and he will not be hungry and full every day, and he will call on his friends to drink and talk nonsense.

Lu Bu sat down, chewed quietly and finished his meal slowly, and took a short rest before he ordered people to convene Sima Hui, Hu Zhao and others related to "Education for All" to come to the General's Mansion to discuss matters.

When Sima Hui and others heard Lu Bu say that they asked their children to teach their parents to read, they frowned: "Since ancient times, parents have taught their children. How could they let their children teach their parents? Isn't this world upside down?"

Lu Bu shook his head: "Confucius learned that the teacher of the unpredictable learning. Whoever has knowledge and whoever has something he does not know will be the teacher. Therefore, he said, 'If three people walk, there must be my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones and change them.' What's more, there is no order of learning, and the masters will be the teacher."

Sima Hui praised: "What a 'a good person who studies without any order, and a master is a teacher'. I think this can be used as a slogan for our Normal College! However, I still don't quite agree to let the child go home to teach his parents, and I guess his parents are not happy to be taught by their own children."

Hu Zhao thought for a moment and smiled: "The word "teaching" makes people feel that the person who teaches is higher than the person who is taught. It is better to do this. Let the child go back and report his homework to his parents, let the parents know what they have learned in school, and avoiding the word "teaching" also seems natural and friendly."

"Kong Ming's words make a lot of sense, so I will implement them!" Lu Bu and Sima Hui laughed at each other.

From then on, every elementary and middle school students had an extracurricular homework that they had to complete. When they got home, they had to tell their parents all the knowledge they had learned on this day, so that their parents could fully understand what they had learned in school.

In each mid-term, the final exam not only needs to take the students, but also the parents. The parents' scores account for one-third of the children's total scores. If parents do not care about their children's studies and do not listen to their children's daily learning content carefully, then the parents' scores in the mid-term final exam are very poor, which will also affect the children's total scores. The children's poor grades in the daily life will also affect the further admission to middle school and university.

In this way, the future of children is used to force parents who have a headache about books and writing to be very energetic and follow their children to learn culture. But on the surface, it is a check on their children's learning knowledge for a day, so that those guardians who like to maintain ethics cannot catch any handle.

The remaining young illiterate students who have no children are handed over to the students of the Normal College to follow up as an internship task. In this way, the educated people cover almost all the people in the entire Sili area.

At the beginning, due to the limitations of papermaking and printing, ordinary people and students could only use the previous book sketch to engrave the letters. Under the guidance of Lu Bu, Zheng Hun's Ministry of Works improved papermaking and made the papermaking cheaper. After the invention and greatly improved the printing technology, the books became cheaper. Many years later, every household had a collection of books, and every student in the school could also make a book. But in the early stage, they could only write on the ground with branches or engrave the letters on bamboo slips.

After four years of study, the students in the primary school basically mastered more than 4,000 words, and their parents also mastered more than 3,000 words. The newspapers and other promotional books under Lu Bu could be successfully promoted to the entire area under his rule. From then on, the people under Lu Bu only believed what Lu Bu said, and the others were fartful, especially those who enslaved them and fooled them in the past.

Before the ten years that Lu Bu predicted, just eight years later, the illiteracy rate in Sili area had dropped to 10%. Most of the adults were prisoners and blind people. Basically, no one who should be educated received education received education, including slaves from the aristocratic families.
