Not to mention these children, even adults would find it difficult to control their emotions when they encountered very happy things. However, adults were better at disguising. Sometimes, even though they were very excited, they could pretend to be very calm in front of others. Once there was no one around, their excitement would quickly be released. Although it was not to the extent of rolling on the ground like children, it was still very common to jump a few times.
"These dolls are too excited. Great, now they're all crying. Haha! "
Ang Lee said gloatingly.
When he told the children this good news, Ang Lee expected such a thing to happen. After all, these wild children had not been fully trained. Their endurance was very poor. It was impossible for them to hold back their excitement. Even if the teacher hit them with a ruler, they might not be able to control it.
In the future, Ang Lee once did an unscrupulous experiment. This experiment was very simple. He bought some very delicious snacks and distributed them to poor children. First, he gave each of them a portion to let them taste the deliciousness of the snacks. Then, he told the children who had eaten the delicious snacks that as long as they let him slap them five times, they could get another snack.
This was originally just a joke. Unexpectedly, the most naughty child immediately stretched out his hand. Ang Lee naturally slapped him five times with a bamboo stick. Although it was not enough to injure him, it was definitely more painful. After slapping him, he gave the snacks to the child.
What Ang Lee did not expect was that after the other children saw this scene, they were very excited and sent their palms over, waiting to be slapped by Ang Lee. This was because in the eyes of these naughty children, being slapped was nothing. The most important thing was that the delicious snacks could satisfy their appetite.
There were two reasons for this situation. One was that the families of these children were too poor. They usually could not eat delicious food. Therefore, as long as there was a temptation of food, these children would be desperate. If it were the children of a rich family, they would probably not even look at it, let alone be beaten to eat these delicacies.
Another reason was that the children of these poor families were more mischievous. They were often taught a lesson by the adults at home. Their palms and buttocks had been spanked countless times. Although it was not to the extent of developing calluses, they did not care much about pain. In the past, when their parents taught them a lesson, they would not give them delicious snacks. Moreover, it was very likely that they would be hit harder. Therefore, for the thugs, they did not care much at all.
However, if they were beaten often, there were also benefits. This benefit was that they would become less and less sensitive to pain. They would be stronger and have better resistance to blows. After entering society, their adaptability would be higher. They would not have thoughts of suicide even if they were bullied. They were like the grass in the cracks of the stone; they had strong vitality.
As the saying went, children who had not experienced setbacks were difficult to grow up. Once they encountered the invasion of wind and rain, they would easily die. Children who had experienced the wind and rain would have a stronger life. No matter how strong the wind and rain were, they would not flinch. They would always face the difficulties and move forward in the face of the storm.
It was normal for a child to fall a few times while walking, and then he would get up on his own. If the child was picked up when he just fell, it would be very inappropriate. It would affect the development of the child's resistance to setbacks and was not conducive to the child's independence.
In addition, although being injured was not a good thing, if a child had never been injured, it would not be conducive to facing more difficulties in the future. Therefore, it was not a bad thing to be injured occasionally. Who would not be injured a few times in their childhood? How many people had never been injured in their life?
Therefore, Ang Lee knew that telling the children this good news would make them excited and cause a lot of injuries. However, these small injuries were nothing at all. It was beneficial to the growth of the children. Moreover, the injured were a small number of children. Most of them were very happy and excited.
The children's frolicking and crying naturally attracted the attention of the teachers. Naturally, they couldn't allow the children to continue making a ruckus. Very quickly, they entered their respective classes and slapped the ruler to intimidate the overly excited children. They wanted the children to calm down and stop making a ruckus.
After so many days of contact, the teacher had already established his prestige, especially when he was holding a ruler. He was an extremely terrifying existence. As long as the children saw the teacher coming over with a ruler, they would immediately be scared and not dare to make a fuss. Otherwise, what awaited them would be a beating. The pain was not pleasant. If they could be given something delicious after a beating, they would be able to endure it. However, after this kind of lesson, there would not be any benefits. They appeared to be very afraid.
Perhaps in the eyes of the children, the teacher was a devil-like existence. As long as they saw him, they would be scared to death. In childhood, in addition to strict parents, the teachers were most afraid of the most. This was because under normal circumstances, only parents and teachers would beat them violently. As long as they did not cause trouble, the probability of being beaten by others was very small.
The teachers were sincere to their students. There was no trace of hypocrisy. They sincerely hoped that their students could learn well. At least, in the Tang dynasty, there was absolutely no teacher who hoped that their students could not learn well. That would be a slap in their faces.
In this regard, the teachers and the students shared common interests. If the students learned well, the teachers would also be proud. Maybe they would come back to visit them in the future and give them some help. For example, when Confucius was in dire straits, he relied on a few promising students to help him. This was enough to show that he had taught a lot of good students and brought a lot of benefits to himself.
In the later generations, there was a saying that three and a half times in life meant that one could get three and a half times of sincerity. Among them, parents were sincere to their children, and teachers were sincere to their students. The last half of sincerity was the sincerity given by one's lover. This saying was extremely affirmation of the teachers. In the world, the only people who wished for success were parents and teachers. Even the spouse only had half of sincerity.
It was precisely because the relationship between teachers and students had always been a community of interests that the relationship between teachers and students was very strong since ancient times. Especially the students who had achieved success, they had to go back and thank their teachers. Otherwise, they would be labeled as disrespectful to their teachers, which would affect their career development.
However, with the busy money society of the later generations and the huge number of students, the relationship between teachers and students was difficult to maintain. Even when a student came to the teacher, the teacher could not remember that he had taught the student. There was no impression at all. In this way, there was no relationship at all.
There were even many teachers who did not teach seriously in class for the sake of economic benefits, so that the students could not learn any knowledge. Then, on the weekend, the students had to pay to make up lessons, so that they could collect a high tuition fee. They earned a salary and earned a tuition fee, so each person earned two cents. There was no public morality at all. It made people sigh that there were more and more unscrupulous teachers. In this way, there was no relationship between teachers and students. The relationship between them was a naked money relationship. The students paid for making up lessons, and the teachers taught them knowledge when making up lessons. If the students did not pay for making up lessons, they could not learn anything.
At the end of the day, this was actually the sorrow of a money society. When everyone was obsessed with money, their feelings would be thin, or even completely void of feelings. Such a society was sick, but such a society was also very realistic. It would not change the slightest because of your anger.
In any case, in the era of the Tang dynasty, the relationship between teachers and students was relatively harmonious. In childhood, teachers would always beat the students, but basically, it was to teach the students to study well. When the students grew up and learned something, they would always be grateful to their teachers.
In addition, since ancient times, there were not many students in private schools. Most of the time, they would only teach one student, and at most, there would be no more than a dozen students. Therefore, the familiarity between teachers and students was very high, and it was easy for the relationship to be strong. The teachers also had enough time and energy to educate the students. If they had to teach hundreds of students every year and meet new faces every year, then as a teacher, they would definitely not be able to remember every student. In addition, there were more leaders in the later generations, and formalism was very serious. Teachers had many, many side jobs to do. These were all prioritized over teaching tasks, and they were tasks that must be completed. If the teaching was not good enough and the students' grades were poor, it was not a problem at all. However, if the task given by the superiors could not be completed, it would be a very serious matter. The teacher would even be laid off, and he would not be able to work.
Although the teacher's main job should be to educate the students, under formalism, this had to be ranked last. Educating the students was not so important. The more important thing was to complete the various tasks given by the superiors.
If the teaching was not done well, no one would say anything, and the consequences would be very light. However, if the task given by the superiors could not be completed, it would be a big matter. As a teacher, he had to memorize all the provisions of the urban civilization. If he made a single mistake, it would be a very serious problem. The poverty alleviation task given by the superiors must be completed. Even if the target of poverty alleviation was much wealthier than the teacher, he still had to help the poor and buy living materials for them. As for the various study tasks, they were even more varied, and they were all better than teaching tasks.
In this era of the Tang dynasty, teachers did not have any extra tasks. They were only focused on educating the children. The number of students they taught was relatively small, and their energy was not scattered at all. Almost all of them were devoted to teaching.
While there was still some time before lunch, Ang Lee put on a safety helmet and entered the construction site behind the school. He was ready to inspect the construction progress here.
In the past, the construction craftsmen in the Tang dynasty did not have the habit of wearing safety helmets, and they did not have the financial resources to do so. However, because there was no safety measure, it led to serious injuries from time to time. As long as the safety helmet was worn, this problem could be solved very well. It could greatly reduce the damage that the craftsmen might suffer and minimize the damage.
This so-called safety helmet was not high-tech, and it was not invented by Ang Lee. It was just a concept proposed by Ang Lee. In fact, it was a rattan hat in the southwest region. It was a hat woven with a very small rattan. Because this hat was made of rattan, the quality was very light. It was not heavy to wear on the head. In addition, the toughness and strength of the rattan were relatively high. It could protect the head very well and prevent people from being easily hurt. The gaps in the weave also allowed for better ventilation, which greatly increased the comfort of wearing.
These hats were very common in the southwest region. Many people even used it as a hat to block the sun. Naturally, there were such hats in Beijing. They were brought by people in the southwest region to be sold. When Ang Lee saw these hats, he felt that they could be used as safety helmets, so he spent money to buy a lot of them and let the craftsmen who came to work wear these hats.
Because the quality was very light and it was relatively comfortable to wear, the craftsmen wore such hats on their heads without any objections.
"Assistant Minister Li, why are you here? It's a mess here. It's not safe."
Seeing Ang Lee coming over, a leader of the craftsmen quickly ran over.
This time, for the construction of the building, Ang Lee gave them three to five times the salary and let them work quickly with quality and quantity. Such a reward naturally made these craftsmen very happy. The leader could get more, so naturally, he was even happier. Therefore, their spirits were very high. They didn't know what words to use to describe it.
"It's okay. The place you can enter, I can also enter. How is it? How is it? Can you complete the task on time?"
Ang Lee asked.
"Assistant Minister Li, don't worry. The materials used are the best, and the craftsmen are the most skilled. They will definitely complete the task on time. The main body will be completed in half a month. The decoration can be done after a few days of drying."
Ang Lee nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's best if it can be completed on time, but the quality must be paid attention to. The quality of the building must not be reduced in order to speed up the progress. Absolutely not."
"Assistant Minister Li, don't worry. There won't be any quality problems. We are all people who work often. There won't be any quality problems."
Ang Lee naturally had confidence in these experienced craftsmen. In addition, Ang Lee himself knew more about engineering. He knew how long the solidification time of materials was.
This time, because of the urgent need for classrooms, Ang Lee chose the most expensive quick-drying cement material. This kind of cement material didn't need to wait too long. It would dry soon after the construction, so there was no need to worry about the collapse of the building caused by the top layer of cement. Without this kind of material, Ang Lee wouldn't dare to easily propose to finish the main body of the three-story building in half a month.
After a careful inspection, Ang Lee nodded with satisfaction. The construction of the building was completely built according to Ang Lee's requirements. The joints were also strengthened. A piece of the wall was smashed open, and the thickness and materials inside were in line with the regulations. At first glance, there was no skimping. This made Ang Lee quite satisfied.
