Chapter 1297 School Management
A corner of the core area of Yingtian City, which used to be a huge garden and mansion, belonged to the most prominent Wu family at that time. However, the wind and rain always blow away the glory. With the capture of Wucheng, the guilty children of the Wu family were all tried, or were sent to do hard labor, or were directly beheaded. The remaining children of the Wu family also lost their former wealth and glory, no longer had a mansion and concubines, and could only support themselves with their own hands.
However, as a loser, it is a great blessing to have such an end. After all, in this era, when two armies fight, it is normal for the defeated party to be exterminated, and no one can say anything.
Now, the garden mansion that used to be continuous has changed its appearance. Many unimportant pavilions and towers have been flattened. Only the main building structure of the house remains unchanged, but that room has been converted into a dormitory or a classroom.
The sandy land that the children of the Wu family used to practice martial arts has also been widened and filled with a thick layer of sand and gravel, turning it into a playground.
As for the plaque at the gate, it was changed from Wu Mansion to Yingtian Military School.
This was Zhao Cheng's way of rallying people's hearts. He had already started preparing early. As early as when he first took Wucheng, he had already drawn up a plan. After that, the construction was continued. Long before he became king, the military school had been built, but it had not been put into use.
As for the reason, it was the teaching staff and the selection of students.
It is not an easy thing to run a school from scratch. In this era, if you want to educate students, you must first teach the teachers.
The school that Zhao Cheng wants to establish must have a strong Yingtian color. It is different from the pedantic, rigid, and decadent education method that can only cultivate a group of lonely nerds and pedantic people who just want to get by. What Zhao Cheng wants is a group of new forces with ideals, dreams, passion, and courage to compete.
If there is no such force to take over, even if he becomes the king of the world, it will definitely return to its original state in just twenty years.
When teachers teach students, they teach not only problems, but also the thoughts contained in their words and conversations.
But the scholars of the previous generation, even the so-called knowledgeable people, the more knowledgeable they were, the more stubborn they were. Zhao Chengcheng really spent a lot of effort to change this concept.
Therefore, until now, at the beginning of spring, the first batch of freshmen finally enrolled.
Although Yingtian Military Academy is a military academy, the selection of personnel is not entirely from the military. Among them, seven are selected from the military, and the remaining 30% are the best from various places and various schools. Moreover, the first batch of students are all young people, the youngest is sixteen years old and the oldest is only twenty-four years old.
Being young means a stronger ability to accept new things, a stronger ability to learn, more vitality, more blood, and not too much staleness.
Early in the morning of this day, accompanied by the sound of the trembling gong, the first batch of 640 freshmen woke up from their sleep, and then quickly dressed and washed.
About a quarter of an hour later, more than 600 people were in the wide playground, wearing uniform clothes and lined up neatly.
On the high platform in front of everyone, there was a fluttering flag. On one side of the flag were two golden characters, Yingtian, and on the other side was a pattern of a clenched fist and a crossed sword.
The fist represents power, and the sword represents strength, which means that only by mastering power and strength can one dominate the world and create an ideal world of one's own.
After that, about half a quarter of an hour passed, accompanied by the sound of beating war drums, Zhao Cheng, accompanied by several people, walked up to the high platform step by step.
With the appearance of Zhao Cheng, everyone couldn't help holding their breath, not only because Zhao Cheng is now the king of this land, holding the supreme power, but more importantly, there is an invisible pressure, a pressure from the level of life.
It's like a lamb encountering a tiger.
While walking, the breeze rolled Zhao Cheng's robe, adding a bit of style to it.
The so-called posture of a holy king is probably nothing more than this.
As a Taoist, Zhao Cheng looked at the neat queue below, and what he saw was not a group of young people who still looked immature, but the hope for the future.
A country of Taoism, a country of Taoism, not only needs a country, but also a Tao.
If there is no Tao, then the country will no longer be a country.
These people are immature, but they are a group of seeds. Although they are not only small but also few in the present, when these people grow up and spread out, they will be able to start a large area and bloom everywhere.
"Hello, classmates!"
Zhao Cheng waved his hand. Although his voice was not loud, it spread throughout the audience, as if it was ringing in everyone's ears.
As Zhao Cheng spoke, the whole audience immediately erupted in a roar: "Hello, principal!"
Everyone was excited at this moment.
Zhao Cheng was the first principal of Yingtian Military Academy, and they were all students of this king. This name alone was enough to make many people excited to the point of fainting.
On the other side, in the corner, a few people, either painting or writing, faithfully recorded this scene. After going back to polish it, tomorrow, this matter will be distributed to all parts of the Southern Wilds through newspapers.
As early as several months ago, the initial version of the printing machine was made by a group of skilled craftsmen under Zhao Cheng.
Due to the number of printing machines and paper, the number of newspapers is not large now. Distributed to various parts of the Southern Wilds, one county can only have more than ten copies.
But according to the decree of the new dynasty, in every place, there must be a special person to loudly spread the contents of the newspaper in the streets and alleys. If this is done wrong, the officials of the three levels above and below will be implicated.
And if the people have doubts about the content, they must explain it clearly when they go to ask. If they neglect it, they will be held accountable.
After all, this is a weapon Zhao Cheng uses to unite the people.
In the past courts, the people did not know the emperor, and the emperor did not know the people's livelihood.
But Zhao Cheng's newspaper broke this barrier. Whenever there is a major event in the court, it must be maintained and announced to the whole country so that everyone knows.
Indeed, this kind of thing is difficult to see results in one or two days, but the so-called people's hearts are obtained over time. When the people hear these news, they unconsciously, that sense of identity is gradually growing.
Somewhere further away, several human immortals also used their Taoist magic to sense the movement here. Hearing this call, or the emotional power contained in the call, the expressions of several human immortals changed slightly, and they became even more fearful in their hearts.
