Since ancient times, the most important job of a school was to teach and educate people. Nothing was more important than teaching and educating people. However, this was because since ancient times, there were fewer students in the school. Moreover, the students were quieter. The houses in the school were basically one-story. Therefore, there were almost no safety hazards. As long as there were no accidents, there would not be any danger. Therefore, all of their energy could be focused on teaching.
In the schools of the later generations, safety was extremely important. This was the most important part of the school's daily work. If the teaching was not done well, at most, they would be criticized. However, if there was a safety accident, especially if someone died, then the lightest punishment for the school's administrator would be to step down. There might even be more serious consequences. Therefore, the leaders would put safety work first. No one could bear the responsibility for safety accidents.
There were 1,500 students in the school. There were too many people, and they were all wild children from poor families. The teaching building was three stories high. This was not a joke. The top of the other three stories was used to store water for toilet flushing. It also needed people to go up often. When the door was opened, it was difficult to guarantee that the children would not go up.
The balcony on the top floor was very dangerous. The degree of danger was much higher than the second and third floors below. Not only was it higher, but there was also no guardrail above. Therefore, the danger was even greater. Once a student entered the balcony from the top of the stairs, there was a certain chance that they would fall. That was equivalent to the height of the fourth floor. Falling down was not a joke. It could be said that there was a high probability that they would fall to their deaths. Children were more curious and would likely run to the balcony to play.
In short, the uniqueness of the school made it more dangerous than ordinary schools. Therefore, the safety work must be highly valued. There must not be the slightest bit of wishful thinking. Otherwise, the price would be their lives.
In order to ensure absolute safety, the door of the balcony on the top floor was locked. It would only be opened at a fixed time every day. When it was opened, at least one of the three leaders, Li Chuandao, had to be present because only they had the key. After completing the task of transporting water, the three of them were responsible for re-locking the door to ensure that no child could go up to the balcony and thus ensure absolute safety.
The guardrail on the second and third floors was also relatively high. The bottom one meter was a solid cement fence, and the top one meter was an iron fence. The top one meter was empty. In this way, not only was the safety very guaranteed, but the lighting would also not be affected. The rear windows of the second and third floors were all guardrail. Moreover, it was an integrated guardrail from top to bottom. The safety aspect was absolutely guaranteed.
Although the lives of the poor in this era weren't that valuable, they were still human lives. Even if they weren't valuable, they still had to be taken seriously. Once a safety incident occurred, the reputation of the entire school would be greatly affected.
Safety first, hygiene second, and teaching last. This was Ang Lee's requirement for the school. In particular, safety must be paid enough attention. There could not be the slightest accident. Hygiene and safety could also be regarded as a category. If the hygiene was not done well and the child fell ill, it could also be regarded as a safety problem. Especially food hygiene, it could also be regarded as a food safety problem. If the food hygiene problem was more serious, it would become a food safety problem. It belonged to the scope of safety.
The reason why health and safety were placed in such a high position was that, first, he really did not want to see accidents. Second, it was because Ang Lee did not intend to let the students of the school take the imperial examination. They did not need to study well. There were thousands of paths in life. The imperial examination was not the only way out. There were many other choices, especially in the current Tang dynasty. With the development of industry, the demand for skilled people was getting higher and higher. Skilled people did not just have to know how to work. They also had to learn how to read and learn constantly. Therefore, they all needed to learn a certain amount of knowledge. If everyone was determined to take the imperial examination, it would be troublesome. Who would be the craftsmen if they all decided to take the imperial examination? In all corners of the Great Tang, there were many unemployed scholars. They did nothing but study. When it was time for the imperial examination, they would participate in it. Some of them entered the ranks of the imperial examination when they were young, and even when their hair turned white, they still did not give up. Their lives were ruined by the imperial examination, and long-term study had caused their physical fitness to plummet. If they wanted to change careers to farming or work, it would not work. Their bodies were already weak, so how could they do physical labor? Wouldn't that be asking for their lives?
The imperial examination was for the sake of becoming an official. However, the imperial court did not have a high demand for officials. The number of people taking the imperial examination had far exceeded the demand of the imperial court, even more than several times. Therefore, most of the scholars were destined to not be able to take the imperial examination in their lives. Only a few lucky people could take the imperial examination and become an official.
All the scholars were bent on taking the imperial examination. This in itself was a kind of morbidity. It was the morbidity of the whole society. Excellent people should do more meaningful things instead of fighting to be an official.
Especially in the Tang dynasty at this time, the contribution that an official could bring to society was far less than doing scientific research. In other words, going to the R&D center that Ang Lee was in charge of was the greatest contribution to the whole society. History would remember great scientists, not ordinary officials.
A month passed quickly. Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu had discussed that they would visit the School of Telepathy after a month. Ang Lee had always kept this matter in mind. Therefore, when the time came, he was ready to take Yan Ruyu to visit the School of Telepathy.
However, Yan Ruyu did not seem to take this matter to heart. Therefore, when Ang Lee proposed to take Yan Ruyu to visit the School of Telepathy, Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment and asked what it was about. This made Ang Lee feel quite embarrassed.
"Madam, didn't we agree a month ago that we would go to the Telepathy Academy to take a look? If this academy is good enough, our Tang 'er will study there. What's wrong? Did you forget so quickly?"
Ang Lee said helplessly.
Yan Ruyu thought for a long time. Then, she smiled and said, "I remember, I remember. I thought you were just saying it casually. You really planned to send the Tang Er to that kind of place!"
Obviously, Yan Ruyu was still unwilling. She still believed that the students in the School of Telepathy were all poor children and that they were a group of wild boys. If she sent the Tang Er there, it would be troublesome if he was bullied. Most importantly, she could not leave the Tang Er. Only by keeping the Tang Er by her side could she be at ease. If the Tang Er was not by her side, he would not be at ease.
"Madam, you have already agreed. Why are you still saying such things? Let's go and have a look! Besides, the School of Telepathy was built by me. I don't know how much effort I put into it. How can it be described as that kind of place in your mouth? People who don't know might think it's a brothel or a brothel. "
Ang Lee said rather unhappily.
Yan Ruyu smiled faintly and said, "Okay! Since you are so insistent, let's go and have a look! It's really hard to imagine what a school with 1,500 boys will look like. "
"We want to go to the School of Telepathy too."
The other madams and maids all proposed to visit the School of Telepathy.
Li An felt that if there were too many people, it would affect the order of the class. In addition, they were dressed too well and would easily attract the attention of others. It would definitely have a huge impact on the normal order of the class.
"It's okay if you want to go, but everyone has to change clothes. You can't wear such eye-catching clothes. It'd be better if you put some dust on your face."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
"Why do we have to put some dust on our faces? Is it because we are too beautiful? "
Li Ya 'er asked with a smile.
Ang Lee nodded seriously and said, "Yes, you are all too beautiful and eye-catching. It will affect the normal teaching order. So, it's better to dress up a little ugly."
"I don't want to dress up ugly. It's better to dress up as a boy."
Li Ya 'er said with a smile.
"I want to dress up as a young master too."
Everyone proposed to dress up as a man. Even Yan Ruyu made the same request. After all, it would be more convenient to dress up as a man when going out. It would not be easy to attract other people's attention, and it would not be easy to disturb the normal teaching order.
After dressing up, Yan Ruyu and the others walked in front of Ang Lee. They turned their bodies and showed off their graceful figures to Ang Lee.
Girls were too beautiful. Even if they were disguised as men, they would still be easily discovered. There was no way to hide at all. In ancient times, Mulan had joined the army without being discovered. It was really hard to understand. How much did she have to look like a man to be able to hide her identity? In any case, none of the girls in Li An's family could disguise as a real man. They could be seen through at a glance.
However, being seen through was one thing. Women did not dress up as men to swindle others, so it did not matter if they were seen through. This was the unspoken rule of this era. Many people did this, so there was nothing strange about it. Many people were used to seeing women dress up as men.
After breakfast, the group of more than a dozen people set off. When they arrived at the school, all the children in the school had started to learn. They hadn't learned to write yet. They just followed the teacher every day. Slowly, some of the children were able to recognize words. However, without the teacher's guidance, it was difficult for them to write. It was easy to make mistakes by copying.
"Not bad! The sound of reading is very loud. "
When they were still quite a distance away from the School of Sound Transmission, everyone could already hear the loud and clear sounds of reading. These voices were uniform and sounded very infectious. It was impossible for an untrained student to have such an ability. At a glance, it was obvious that they were well-trained.
Yan Ruyu got out of the car curiously. Then, she looked outside the school and felt that it was not bad. Although the school was not particularly luxurious, it was still quite good.
Li Chuandao knew that Ang Lee was going to bring his wife to visit a few days ago. He knew the specific date and time. Therefore, he got up early in the morning and got busy with all the staff in the school. First, they did the cleaning. Then, they trained the school. He wanted them to perform better. If they didn't perform well today, they wouldn't be given meat in the future.
Because Li Chuandao knew in his heart that the most hateful trick to punish these naughty children was not to hang them up and beat them up, but to threaten not to give them delicious food. If they couldn't eat the delicious food provided by the school, these children would go crazy. Even if the food was only stopped for a day, they wouldn't be able to bear it.
Li Chuandao understood this point. Therefore, during the daily management, he took advantage of these children's fatal weakness to make these naughty guys obedient. The effect was naturally tried and tested. These unlucky children were firmly under his control. Just like Sun Wukong, they couldn't escape from the palm of the Buddha. They could only obediently admit defeat. Who asked them to be greedy? Their family was relatively poor. They couldn't eat the delicious food provided by the school. What else could they do if they didn't admit defeat?
"Why are the children's reading sound so much louder than usual today? Did they take the wrong medicine?"
Ang Lee felt a trace of abnormality and whispered to himself.
"Husband, what are you talking about? So quiet. "
Li Ya 'er asked.
"Uh, nothing, nothing. Let's go in quickly!"
Ang Lee said with a guilty conscience. Then he saw Li Chuandao bowing ninety degrees to Ang Lee and the others.
In fact, at this moment, Li Chuandao was quite puzzled. He had said that he would bring his wife to inspect, but from afar, he saw only a large number of Childes. This naturally made him feel very strange. How could his short-sighted eyes see Yan Ruyu and the others clearly? It was difficult for him to see people's faces clearly at a distance of more than twenty steps. At least, he couldn't see very clearly. The long-term good habit of reading, the poverty of his family, and the lack of nutrition had greatly damaged his eyesight. A little short-sightedness was inevitable. Ang Lee had long invented a pair of glasses for short-sightedness. However, because of the high price, Li Chuandao couldn't afford it for the time being. Moreover, it was common for the elderly to have poor eyesight. There was nothing to make a fuss about. Many elderly people had poor eyesight. A little short-sightedness was the slightest. In serious cases, they couldn't see anything clearly even at a close distance. Li Chuandao's situation was relatively good.
"Li Chuandao, what's going on?"
Ang Lee asked in a low voice.
Li Chuandao was stunned and said, "Assistant Minister Li, didn't you say that Madam would come to have a look? What's wrong? "
"She just changed into men's clothes. Can't you tell?"
Ang Lee whispered and then asked, "What's going on here?"
Li Chuandao was puzzled for a moment and asked, "Assistant Minister Li, did we do something wrong?"
"Everything is fine. I mean, why is the sound of reading so loud today? It's much louder than usual!"
Ang Lee said.
