Although there were no more advanced decoration materials with better performance in the Tang dynasty, the good thing was that all the decoration materials were pure natural without any toxic or harmful substances. As long as the decoration was done, people could move in immediately, which was really very good.
In the future, after a house was renovated, it had to be dried for at least three to five months before one could barely live in it. Even so, the house still needed to be ventilated frequently, and plants or minerals that could absorb poisonous and harmful substances had to be placed in the house. It was really troublesome. Many people who didn't care about this problem fell ill because they lived in houses that were filled with poisonous gas. It wasn't rare for them to lose their lives. However, in the era of Tang, there was no need to worry about this at all. No one had ever died from poisoning after living in a newly renovated house.
It was not that Ang Lee could not invent these woodworking glue and paint additives, but it was really because these paints and additives were too toxic. It was really unnecessary. In addition, once woodworking glue was invented and used, many businessmen would choose to use it in large quantities in order to reduce the cost. Not only would it harm the health of ordinary people, but it would also make the whole society develop in the direction of impetuousness. In the future, no one would be willing to sincerely make good products. Everyone would think about how to save trouble and how to save costs. The market would be flooded with a large number of wood chips and wood furniture that looked golden on the outside but was rotten inside.
For example, a lot of wood furniture in the later generations looked very good, but as long as the wood was broken, one could see that the inside was full of chips. These chips were like sand, falling down with a gentle touch. There was no quality to speak of. But because it was cheap, this kind of wood was the most popular. It could be found everywhere in the market, especially for larger planks. After all, for larger planks, if solid wood was used, it would require a lot of wood. The thicker the wood, the more expensive it would be. It should be known that the thicker the wood, the longer it would grow. These were all scarce resources. With people's long-term cutting, the older and thicker trees had become rarer and rarer. They had even become plants protected by the state and were forbidden to be cut down.
In this case, they had no choice but to use wood shavings. Or, they could use many small trees to splice them together. But whether they used wood shavings or splicing methods, in order to achieve the final result, they would often use woodworking glue. And these woodworking glue contained poisonous substances, which would inevitably harm the human body in the end.
There was no such thing as protecting plants in the Tang dynasty. No people of the Tang dynasty had this idea. Therefore, in the Tang dynasty era, there was no need to use wood chips. This kind of inferior toxic and harmful product was very bad. It was better not to use it if it could be avoided, so as not to bring irreversible damage to one's body.
The rich people in the later generations also preferred to use solid wood materials. First, it was of high quality. Second, it did not contain toxic and harmful substances, so it would not cause harm to one's body.
The wooden furniture in the Tang dynasty was all solid wood. The difference was that there were many differences in the wood and workmanship. For example, Nanmu, Mahogany, and Red Sandalwood were all good woods, while ordinary Paulownia wood and other woods were very common woods. The grades of these different woods were very different, and the price difference was also very big. Of course, there was also a big difference in workmanship. The products with good workmanship were expensive, and the products with average workmanship were naturally cheaper.
The workmanship was not only reflected in the quality of the products, but also in the shape of the products. The shape of many wooden objects was very unique, and there were even many very beautiful patterns carved on them, which reflected the quality of the workmanship. As for the price, naturally, the better the workmanship, the more expensive the price.
The brand-new teaching building had been completed. After half a month of intensive discipline training and ten days of reading training, the children in the school were now on the right track. They looked a little like reading children, which made Ang Lee quite satisfied. He estimated that Yan Ruyu would also be satisfied with it.
In the beginning, Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu agreed that the time was exactly one month. That was to say, after one month, Yan Ruyu would personally come to the school to inspect. At this moment, there were only a few days left. Ang Lee must prepare as soon as possible and make the school's software and hardware impeccable to satisfy Yan Ruyu.
First of all, since the new classrooms were built, the students naturally had to be moved into these classrooms immediately. The original wooden houses could be changed into special rooms with various functions, such as a painting teacher, a library to store various books, a sports room to store sports equipment, and so on. If a school was to be built well, all kinds of classrooms were indispensable. The school did not need to be very large, but it must have all the essentials. All kinds of hardware and facilities had to be fully equipped.
Ang Lee did not intend to let Yan Ruyu come to inspect in advance. He had to wait for exactly one month. With a few more days of preparation, the effect would be much better. In order to welcome Yan Ruyu's inspection, the dozens of teachers in the school were extremely busy. After school, they had to stay and work overtime with the logistics staff to clean up the blind spots of the school. The stains and damaged areas were repaired and tidied up very well. They strived to make the entire school look very clean and tidy. At the same time, it had to be filled with a cultural atmosphere. On the walls of the courtyard and inside and outside of all the classrooms, poems to encourage learning had to be hung. These teachers also hoped that the school would be recognized by Yan Ruyu. If Ang Lee's children could study in the school, the reputation of the school would definitely be greatly improved. As the teachers of the school, they would naturally feel extremely honored. Perhaps in the future, the school could even become a famous school that would be envied by others.
Although Ang Lee's position was not to nurture these children to take the imperial examinations, it was enough to let them learn the most basic common sense, or to say that it was good enough to learn some knowledge that could be used in the future. However, people like Li Chuandao might not really do so.
Nurturing practical talents was Ang Lee's position for the school. However, there was no rule that said that the students of this school could not take the imperial examinations. No one could kill the opportunity of a scholar to take the imperial examinations. As long as you were willing to take the examinations, no one could stop you. Of course, the imperial examinations were not a simple examination. It needed to be selected step by step. If one could not even pass the first stage, there would be no chance for the following examinations. Otherwise, if millions of people from all over the country went to the capital to take the examinations, the capital would explode.
Generally, the imperial examinations had to first pass the county level, then the prefectural level, and then the provincial level. Finally, the national level examination in the capital. If one could not even pass the first stage, there would be no subsequent examinations. However, no matter what, no one would stop you from taking the first stage. If you passed, you could continue to take the examinations. Even if you were a child of the poor and went to a common school, as long as you wanted to take the imperial examinations, no one would stop you.
However, Ang Lee would encourage ordinary students to learn more practical knowledge and not always think about taking the imperial examinations. If the results were really good, there was a high chance of success in the imperial examinations. No one would stop them.
However, based on Ang Lee's understanding of Li Chuandao and the other scholars, they might not implement Ang Lee's idea very well. This was because in their minds, the imperial examinations were still the most important thing for a scholar. Whether a scholar could study well or not depended entirely on whether he could pass the imperial examinations. If he could pass the imperial examinations, he would be very successful. If he could not pass the imperial examinations, then he would be more of a failure. At least, this was how the people of this era understood it.
It was precisely because Li Chuandao and the others thought so that they also hoped that Li An's child could attend the School of Telepathy. This would greatly increase the reputation of the School of Telepathy. In the future, Tang 'er would definitely attend the Imperial Academy. In this way, the School of Telepathy would be even more impressive. It could actually nurture a student who could attend the Imperial Academy. Wasn't this very awesome? It was just like entering a famous university. Then, the student's primary school would also become famous. If Tang' er were to become the top scorer, all the teaching staff of the School of Telepathy would be even more proud. This was because the School of Telepathy had also contributed to this. It was because of their good teaching.
Because of this, they would be able to get some benefits. Therefore, these guys were very well-prepared. They cleaned all the places in the school. Moreover, they would clean it again every day to ensure that it was clean all the time, in case Yan Ruyu came in advance.
The attitude of these guys towards visits and inspections was the same as that of the educators in the later generations. They all attached great importance to it. It didn't matter whether the students were taught well or not. The most important thing was that they must do well in the hygiene, the environment, and satisfy the leaders. These were the most important things.
These educators could handle the issue of hygiene by themselves, but it was not enough to rely on them to maintain the hygiene. There were 1,500 students in the school, and these guys were very naughty. From time to time, they would create some garbage. Fortunately, they were only practicing reading and had not started learning how to write. Otherwise, the paper would be thrown everywhere, and the ink and brushes would smear the white walls into a terrible state.
In order to solve this problem, Li Chuandao and the other educators put in a lot of effort. They had to teach the children how to read and supervise them at the same time. If anyone dared to throw things around or draw on the walls, they would be severely punished. It would not be as simple as a hired thug. They even had to find the children's parents and make them responsible for restoring the dirty walls.
It was impossible for the adults to supervise these frisky monkeys by themselves. In the end, they found that the best way was to let the children supervise each other. However, the adults preferred to protect themselves and were unwilling to cause trouble. Naturally, the children were in the same situation. They were unwilling to offend other children, as they risked being beaten up. However, Li Chuandao had his own methods. He had just learned a trick from Ang Lee, and now was the perfect time to put it to use.
This trick was to give good food. If a classroom's wall was damaged, any student who reported the culprit would be rewarded with a delicious snack. With that, under the temptation of delicious food, there would naturally be no shortage of children who would report the culprit. This way, it could deter those children who could not help but want to cause trouble.
This move was really effective. In the School of Sound Transmission where all the students were supervising each other, those who were the most mischievous and couldn't control themselves could no longer be arrogant. They were like eggplants that had been beaten by frost. Their hearts were filled with resentment, but there was nothing they could do.
There were many children who were born with a destructive gene. They wanted to destroy beautiful things. If they couldn't destroy beautiful things one day, they would feel uncomfortable all over. They would feel so uncomfortable that they couldn't bear it.
For example, if they saw a clean wall in front of them, they could not help but use the tools in their hands to scribble on it. They would even use a hammer to destroy the wall. In winter, if there was a beautiful snowy land in front of them, they would run over and leave behind a bunch of footprints. They would even deliberately kick around and make a mess of the snowy land. Only then would they feel better.
If they saw a billboard or something, they would smash a word. Smashing the glass wasn't enough. They would also tear up the poster inside before they were satisfied. If they went to a tourist attraction and saw a beautiful rock, there was nothing more to say. They would directly leave a mark of their visit there. If they saw a beautiful flower, they would directly pluck it and take it away.
The proportion of these saboteurs was not small, especially children who loved to destroy things. The poorer the area, the higher the proportion of these children. That was because the parents of these children were always running around for their lives. They did not have enough time to take care of and educate their children. As a result, these children loved to destroy things and had a wilder nature.
The purpose of the school was to reverse the bad habits of these children. It was to educate these children on behalf of their parents and let them completely get rid of their bad habits. From then on, they would become good students with good qualities.
After two days of drying, all the students in the school moved into the new cement classroom, which made them really excited for a while. However, the teachers took turns to keep an eye on them to prevent these fellows from getting too excited and doing crazy things that would destroy the classroom. According to the teachers' understanding of these students, as long as the supervision was not in place, these naughty children were very likely to do something that would drive people crazy. Therefore, they really did not dare to slack off for a moment. Every floor had a teacher patrolling back and forth during their spare time, in order to deter these smelly brats who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, and to prevent them from doing something that would drive people crazy. Furthermore, for the safety of these children, other than the first floor, which was relatively safe, the second and third floors were not to be messed around with, and if they fell down, it would be very dangerous.
