Chapter 498 Civil Rebellion
The roars startled the guests. These were students taking physical education classes. Physical education was compulsory, but the learning projects were optional, mainly boxing and weapons. Football and basketball were also popular, but because there were no teachers, they played around in their spare time.
There were 30 young students in a class, and they were taught by people from Pegasus Ranch. Even Shang Xiuxun was in charge of the riding course, which showed the extent of Duran's exploitation of manpower.
Of course, before these teachers took up their posts, Duran repeatedly emphasized that they only needed to teach according to the course. If you want to find an apprentice privately, you can find one yourself, but you can only find a junior high school graduate.
Because Pegasus Ranch attaches great importance to physical education, these children consume a lot of physical energy, which leads to their big appetite. Pegasus Ranch consumes a lot of food every day. Fortunately, Denise can provide food steadily.
After eating, they cherish the life of Pegasus Ranch more. The students quickly got used to the study life. Now the students on the playground are practicing hard, which surprised the guests.
Is this the army? Shen Luoyan explained that this was a physical education class for physical exercise. Those people didn't understand it very well, but they just knew that this shouldn't be the army.
For two whole days, the caravan visited Pegasus College, from classrooms to laboratories, from dormitories to bathhouses. There were surprises in every place, and there were so many things they wanted to bring back to Europe to sell, so many people were worried that their families didn't have enough money.
In the next two days, the caravan did not start to talk about business, but entered a Chinese language class and began to learn some Chinese intensively. Hu Hansan also found a group of people who were easy to talk to and opened a foreign language class. Hu Hansan keenly discovered that it was a good opportunity to develop towards Europe. In addition, he also got news from the teacher that there were actually two comprehensive schools under construction, one in Taiyuan and the other in Lingnan.
Hu Hansan's original goal was to be a teacher in the other two schools, but now his ideal has changed. He wants to conquer the West and see Daqin.
So under the enthusiasm of both sides, their language talents were stimulated.
As the news of the European merchant group spread, many local merchants also came here and volunteered to become suppliers. Merchants really have a good nose. As a large number of businessmen came to Pegasus Ranch, it became more lively. If there is popularity, there will be people who will take up seats to do business, and inns and restaurants have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
"Hu, this is the design of the clock. I designed it myself. It belongs only to me." Robert is very interested in machinery, so he often asks Hu Hansan to borrow some mechanical books for him with his library card.
Hu Hansan has seen the teacher's watch, but he doesn't think his friend's design is so amazing. "It seems a little big."
"Hu, you said that as long as I take out the design, you will let me go to the workshop to make it myself."
"Yes, I can, but I can't use the machines in the workshop. Only the principal can use those machines." Hu Hansan said with difficulty that he couldn't use the CNC machine tools in the workshop. "If you want, you can study with the lathe students and do it yourself."
"Can you?"
"Of course, the principal is a very good person. I have also attended his courses, but unfortunately I can't understand them at all." Hu Hansan was directly assigned to the university because of his age, so he can have a lot of time to allocate himself.
Lu Miaozi's class is very difficult, and it is completely out of touch with the times. It is normal that no one listens, but he will still insist on teaching, because material processing is an indispensable technology in the future.
In fact, in addition to not understanding, the concept of the Central Plains scholars, farmers, merchants and industrialists still deeply affects the students in the school. But these can only change slowly. When the new generation of workers and businessmen make achievements and are recognized, more people will be willing to accept this kind of education.
Pegasus College is thriving and vigorous, but there are also some people who form cliques for personal gain in secret. Grouping is a way of survival, but sometimes it is very annoying. The exchange of ideas in a small circle will go further and further away.
For example, some people think that the conditions of Pegasus Ranch are too good, and there is still war outside. This is unfair. The food of Pegasus Ranch should be robbed and distributed to the people, and the houses here should also be given to the people. Then they can lead these people and occupy the mountain as kings in Pegasus Ranch.
If it is just thinking about it, it is fine, but the four major bandits have already planted internal thieves in Pegasus Ranch. After this contact, everyone actually discussed a strategy of internal and external cooperation and prepared to buy Pegasus Ranch at the bottom. Especially the real gold and silver brought by the Europeans, which made people salivate.
Only one month later, the student group that would often get into trouble in the future made a wrong decision to rob the rich and help the poor. They united with the four major bandits, robbed the Pegasus Ranch and then went to help the suffering people.
It seemed that the idea was good, but destroying the Pegasus Academy was undoubtedly destroying the engine of the rise of the Celestial Empire, which was totally not worth the loss.
This time, the four major bandits also took some thought, and actually instigated the refugees to come to the outside of the Pegasus Academy and let their people mix in.
The refugees made a fuss, but let the caravan know that this country is not a paradise. There are still wars outside and many people are hungry and cold.
"Oh, Father God." The opportunity came. After a few days of hard study, the priest had learned simple missionary words. According to his experience, the poor are more likely to give their faith, which is a good opportunity for missionary work.
As the principal, Lu Miaozi had no special way to deal with the sudden arrival of refugees. It was normal for the refugees to be angry, because the conditions at Pegasus Ranch were so good that it was unbelievable. There was meat for every meal, and they could eat as much as they wanted. In just one month, some students had gone from stuffing everything into their mouths to being picky.
And those refugees ate tree bark and chewed grass roots, and they were still not full. How could they not be angry?
Standing at the school gate, looking at those angry or lifeless expressions, and those thin faces, Lu Miaozi felt sad, "Xiuxun, ask your mother to prepare food and share it with them quickly."
"Well, I'll go." Shang Xiuxun led the strong horse and entered the college.
Lu Miaozi used his inner strength to talk about preparing food, but he did not get the support of the refugees, but instead caused the refugees to rush forward.
Some people even shouted in the crowd, "They have food, rob them." This sounded like the people of the four major bandits.
A group of students in the academy are ready to guide the way at any time. As soon as the refugees come in, they will go to meet the four bandits and take them to the merchant group. They thought they were pleading for the people, but they didn't know that they were just helping the tyrants.
The four bandits mixed in the crowd and kept inciting the masses. The situation was about to get out of control.
At this time, Saori brought Shang Xiuxun back.
"Have you started preparing food?" Lu Miaozi asked anxiously, he was afraid that he would be slow and couldn't control the situation.
"I..." Shang Xiuxun was stopped by Saori halfway, so how could he find his mother to prepare food.
Saori not only stopped Shang Xiuxun but also brought many students. "No need to prepare food." Saori took over the command at this time with a maturity that did not match her identity, "Classmates, these are our compatriots, but now they are incited to besiege our academy. What should we do?"
"Present facts and reason!" According to Saori's previous teachings, the students shouted at the same time.
"Yes, we should present facts and reason with them, and tell them how you get enough to eat. Tell them what kind of life you lived before. Today, you should recall the bitter past and think of the sweet future, return to the people, and tell them how to get enough to eat and clothe. Tell them why you are studying now? Tell them your responsibilities and obligations."
"Study for national unity, study to serve the people."
Saori nodded. Although it was just a intensive training, it was still effective. These children are still very perceptive.
"Okay, don't be afraid, just do as I say, go among them and tell them. Action!"
Saori waved her hand, and hundreds of naive students walked into the refugees. Saori especially picked young and smart students. To open the people's wisdom, such face-to-face propaganda is needed.
The priest also joined the students. He was not afraid of refugees because he was a child of the Father God. But he will soon see the power of this country's ideological propaganda.
Lu Miaozi admired Saori's ingenuity, but was also worried, "If we don't prepare food, the refugees will still mutiny."
"No problem, we will organize them to line up for food later." Saori took out a bulging bag, "Here are Senzu beans. If each person eats one, they won't be hungry for a month. Distribute them to the refugees and settle them. We still have workers in the sewage purification plant, and there are still many places to maintain. In addition, there are large tracts of land around, so there should be enough work for them to do. As for renting a house, I will prepare it."
Having seen Duran's ability to transform Pegasus Ranch out of thin air, Lu Miaozi did not doubt that Saori could do it, nor did he doubt the authenticity of the Senzu beans. He even looked forward to Saori's performance.
Perhaps a hundred years later, Duran's family can become gods, just like the door gods and kitchen gods, and become gods who do good things for the people and protect the people.
