Chapter 165 Literacy First
To educate the people, literacy must come first!
Plan to support existing schools and academies: All schools and academies that co-organize this Chinese character recognition competition will receive a batch of teaching materials and books, desks and chairs from Prince Ning, and event prizes will be provided by Prince Ning. Those with outstanding performance will also receive additional rewards...
The plan for recruiting literacy teachers: We will recruit literacy teachers from all walks of life, regardless of age. Their mission is to teach people in communities and villages to read and write, and they will be paid daily wages...
The lucky draw wheel plan of the literacy contest: held on the first and fifteenth day of each month, contestants who can recognize at least 100 words on site can get a lucky draw opportunity. The more words they recognize, the more chances they have. If they recognize at least 10,000 words, they can not only win the lucky draw, but also get a job recommendation. The wheel rewards are divided into five levels, including five catties of rice, five catties of wheat, five catties of soybeans, one catty of pork, and one piece of cloth. There are rewards for each level, and there are no empty prizes. The lucky draw depends on luck to get what prizes...
"Brother, do you think this is okay? It's just that the literacy teachers are a little difficult to control, and paying them daily wages can't guarantee that they are working hard in teaching." Night Owl frowned and raised the question of who would supervise.
"There is no need for human supervision. The competition is to check the results. As long as the competition rules and rewards are well publicized in the early stage, the people will naturally supervise. Otherwise, when the competition comes, they can't read, which proves that there are problems with learning and teaching. Moreover, this competition must last at least half a year to be effective. The period can be longer if conditions permit. The future is uncertain, so let's set the period for half a year first." Ling Wuxin was confident. He believed that everyone could make their own calculations. The reward was not low, and whether you got more or less was just a matter of luck.
"Another question is, the competitions on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar year, don't they start on the first day of the Lunar New Year? What if someone wins rewards by repeatedly participating in the competitions based on his knowledge?" Ye Xiao raised another detail question.
"Happy New Year's Day! Rich community activities! As for repeated participation, this is also easy to handle. Those who know more than 10,000 words will be included in the literacy celebrity list, which will be posted in the local community and village. There is also a registration form for registration. Our goal is to let ordinary people learn to read. They can sign up repeatedly every month. Those who already know enough words can participate in the recruitment of literacy masters! Is this an opportunity for their promotion? Of course, these can be clearly stated in the public notice, otherwise it would be bad if there are many loopholes and people take advantage of them!" Ling Wuxin replied. He believed that when people saw that someone stood out from them and received wages, such stimulation would stimulate their motivation to learn!
Night Owl asked again, "Does the government need to intervene when announcing the event and the competition?"
"Of course. Otherwise, is it appropriate to let them do nothing and earn white-collar wages?!" Ling Wuxin replied. He was not the kind of person who would keep idle people.
"Hahaha...Okay, I'll redraft and post the document right away!" Ye Xiao was satisfied, and he picked up his pen to write again.
"Let's prepare it. We can carry out publicity tomorrow, taking advantage of the popularity of the temple activities! We will prepare ten thousand commonly used Chinese characters in the next few days. We will make rubbings of books for schools and academies, and place an order for one thousand sets of desks and chairs with the furniture factory! Let Xiaojiu prepare the prizes for the activities." After Ling Wuxin listed these preparatory tasks, he also picked up his pen to write letters. He mainly wrote letters to the three influential academies in the fiefdom. As for the schools, he would let the government office notify them!
Ling Wuxin and Ye Xiao were writing at their desks, while Yiyi and Bailu were reading ancient books. For a moment, the study room fell into a quiet atmosphere. After a long time, Bailu stood up and pulled Yiyi to stretch their limbs together. Sitting for a long time is not good for pregnant women. She looked at Yiyi's belly, which was almost the same size as hers, and said, "Your four-month belly is the same size as mine at five months? You two are really extraordinary."
"Well, you just got pregnant not long ago. I'm afraid that if the baby's breasts are too big, they'll cause stretch marks. Are you taking care of yourself?" Yiyi followed her and walked around.
"Use that plant moisturizing oil. Don't wait until you get wrinkles. Use it now and keep applying it." How could Bai Lu, a beauty lover, not take care of herself? She even applies it all over her body as a body oil.
"Oh, then I'll start using it when I get home, and prepare some more of this skin care oil." Yiyi and Bailu huddled together and talked about everything from pregnancy care to literacy.
"I think these books are good. They are perfect for teaching in schools. But if they are used in literacy classes for young and old, they will be a bit dull and boring, lacking the association of intuitive pictures. Also, will our children resist when they study in the future?" Yiyi commented on the books full of words.
"That's why it has to be both text and pictures, but your husband doesn't seem to want you to work so hard!" Bai Lu said with a smile.
"Well, it seems like your husband is willing to give up. I'm not Superman who can take on all the tasks. I'm just doing my best." Yiyi motioned her to look at the man, who seemed to have finished his work as well. They each picked up a few books and the other carried an empty lunch box and went over together.
"But are you hungry? I'll be there soon. We need to arrange for someone to deliver the letters and documents." Ling Wuxin was the first to tidy up the things on his desk. He held a few envelopes in one hand and took the book from Yiyi's hand with the other.
Ye Xiao also packed up the plan, kept one copy for himself and gave one copy to Xiao Jiu. He also prepared the announcement and sent it to the government office, asking them to make a copy and post it for publicity.
"Let's go, let's get people to start the publicity work tomorrow!" Ye Xiao took Bai Lu's hand and followed Ling Wuxin and the others out of the study.
Unexpectedly, they had spent most of the afternoon in the study, and it was already evening. The kitchen boy came up to say that dinner was ready and asked if they wanted to serve it now.
"Okay! We'll eat in this courtyard before we go back. Bring a lunch box to Xiaojiu and send it to Xiaoyao Garden! So that he won't have to cook alone!" Ling Wuxin ordered. He seldom ate in the big kitchen on weekdays. Except for the staff sent out, the kitchen chefs were all bored and just divided the ingredients every day. What kind of chefs were they! ? But the master liked to cook for himself, so they had to do as he said!
"Okay! I'll deliver the meal to Young Master Ninth as soon as I'm done setting it up." The servant took the food box and ran off happily, preparing to set up the table first and then have the food served.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the four of them had a pleasant meal in the courtyard, while discussing that at present all the work on the fiefdom had basically been planned and arranged, and that the road to development was difficult, but the prospects were optimistic!
