"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

Shi Yu wrote this line on the blackboard.

There are currently 14 children under the age of 280 in Chang’an Town. Because of the winter famine and subsequent serf riots in various places, the surviving children are polarized. Either they are only two or three years old and just able to run, or they are concentrated in the area of ​​​​eight to fourteen. .

The former parents can hold them, can take them away without throwing them away, and the most important thing is that they can digest the staple food and survive, and they don’t eat much. Babies who are still in the feeding stage basically all die young, and some are stolen. Going, stealing is not for buying and selling. In times of famine, anything unimaginable will happen.

Some of the baby's parents themselves are even involved.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci almost spit out when listening to Jin Yi's narration.

And children between the ages of eight and 14 have a certain ability to survive on their own.

Whether it's snatching or hunting, even selling your body.

The serfs in the territory of Xiangkui Town got the baron's permission to fish to satisfy their hunger because they surrounded Xiangkui Town, and the serfs in other territories were not so lucky.

Some of them followed the rules and continued to starve like Baishan Village, and some of them went hunting in the mountains to find food against the rules, and some became robbers, just like the bandits that Jin Yi met when he came to Baishan Village to deliver food. They were actually serfs in two neighboring villages of Baishan Village.

If the rule is broken once, there will be a second time, and it will go further.

At the beginning, I just went into the mountains and rivers to find food. Slowly, I was afraid of being discovered and accused, so I dragged others into the water to break the rules together, or killed all those who disagreed.

The serfs have a simple and hardworking side, and at the same time, ignorance and ignorance can easily converge into the greatest evil.

Later, the Marquis of Changchang was defeated, the lords fled, and the whole territory became their paradise.

Children without the protection of their families are left to struggle to survive on their own.

Until Jin Yi passed by with a caravan and bought them back.

Later, the Marquis of Silver Sword came to power, and the new feudal lords cleaned up their respective territories. Shi Yu and Huo Ci took advantage of the chaos to bring back some orphans.

Children under the age of five are not included in the academy's enrollment rules, so there are currently two hundred and five students in the academy.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci simply and rudely divided them into elementary classes, intermediate classes and crash classes.

The primary class is the literacy class, teaching pinyin and character recognition.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci racked their brains and wrote down all the Chinese characters they could remember.

There is no Chinese dictionary, "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" are the most convenient teaching materials that the two can think of.

Shi Yu only remembered the "Thousand Character Classic", and the latter part of the "Three Character Classic" had long been forgotten.

Huo Ci remembered that not only the "San Zi Jing", he could even recite the entire "Enlightenment of the Rhythm".

Shi Yu often complained about his grandfather's strictness and repented when he was a child, especially after knowing that Huo Ci could recite "Tang Poetry and Song Ci Collection".

His parents are cruel people.

After finding the books that Hill and Baron Cypress didn't take away, the literacy class added common text.

Later, when there were subordinate officers, Shi Yu selected three of them, replacing Hill and Benny, and at the same time divided the intermediate class and the crash course.

The Chinese literacy in the elementary class is also handed over to the excellent students in the intermediate class.

He and Huo Ci are mainly responsible for the intermediate class and the crash course.

The intermediate class is an upgrade of the elementary class, and those "students" who are smart and have a good memory enter the intermediate class for further study.

The rest of the students in the same period will enter the crash course. According to their wishes and outstanding strengths, they will have special teaching, such as painting, arithmetic, or music. Now they have added performances, and some need practical learning. After passing the pass, they are sent to the corresponding craftsmen to learn techniques and crafts.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci took turns to attend class every day.

In fact, there is not much basic subject knowledge that the two of them can fully remember. Many subjects can only be used as a guide, and more are concentrated on grammar and arithmetic. Have ideology and morality (brainwashing).

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

Shi Yu read this sentence in Chinese and Mandarin respectively.

Then explain: "The literal meaning of this sentence is to give others fish, it is better to teach him to fish. We expand the meaning, to teach others the existing knowledge, it is better to teach him how to learn knowledge."

"For example, when you see a beggar, you give him your surplus food, but what about the next day and the third day?"

I can continue to give it to him, or send someone to give it to him, the Archbishop of the Temple of Love sitting in the back seat listening to the lecture thought to himself.

"...He will still be hungry. Instead of giving him food, it is better to teach him how to get food, such as how to fish, how to farm, or help him arrange work."

"Maybe some students think, I can always give him food, but what if one day you don't have time to go, or you don't come back from a long trip, or you don't have much food, how can this person Aren't you going to starve to death?"

No, we don't want to give away our food to others.

thought the students who survived the famine.

The Archbishop of the Temple of Wisdom and the Archbishop of the Temple of Justice thought deeply.

"And..." Shi Yu paused, and nodded the monitor's long finger.

"If I gave you a silver coin every day for a month, and suddenly one day it was replaced with a copper coin, what would you think?"

Chang Zhi thought for a while, and soon realized what the envoy wanted to express, and said, "Unhappy, why decrease?"

Even if the envoy doesn't give it, I'm still very happy.

He added in his mind.

"Look." Shi Yu gave him an appreciative look, motioned him to sit down, and continued, "That's it, sometimes your kindness and gifts may not be appreciated, maybe at first, but after a long time, the other party will take it for granted. , and complained because of your reduction."

He said, smiling slightly at several archbishops.

"This is called Sheng Mi En Dou Mi Chou, well, we will explain this sentence in detail later."

"So, when you want to help someone, don't give them blindly. Maybe this can show your kindness and generosity, but it may not be what the other person needs. In addition to making the other person dependent, it may also damage the other person's self-esteem .”

"A 'fish' can solve a temporary difficulty, but it can't touch the problem fundamentally." He wrote on the blackboard, "'fish' is the purpose, and 'fishing' is the means. ' instead of 'fish'."

"Besides, 'fish' is limited, and can only help a small number of people for a while. Only by teaching them 'fishing' can we help them permanently and help more people at the same time."

"Okay, let's finish today's class first." Shi Yu smiled, "Everyone will write a [-]-word composition with this sentence as the theme, and submit it to the monitor tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

The students responded.

Shi Yu walked out with the archbishops.

The archbishop of the Temple of Wisdom praised: "You have taught us a lesson, thank you for your teaching."

"I'm very glad to be of help to you." Shi Yu said in the tone of bishops.

The Archbishop of the Temple of Wealth looked at him very closely; "No, no, it is very helpful."

What did he say.

Every believer is piled up with coins!

Free bread, free clothes, free shelter.

Who will pay for this money?

It's not like asking him to fill the coffers with all kinds of inspiration!

However, believers have not become more devout because of free gifts, and cultists have not been reduced by the generosity of the Holy See.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people.

You are so right!

He decided to add this sentence to the teachings of the Temple of Wealth when he went back.

The archbishop of the Temple of Justice nodded: "I agree."

The Archbishop of the Temple of Love was silent.

Shi Yu didn't intend to have a long talk with them, and left under the pretext that he wanted to review the students' homework. He seemed to randomly order a student from the crash course and asked him to show these people around.

"Hello." The black, thin and tall boy saluted, "My name is Big Eye, and I will act as your guide. Where would you like to visit first?"

The Archbishop of the Temple of Wisdom looked at the boy whose name did not match his speech at all, and said with a smile, "Start from here."

"Okay." Big Eyes nodded, and introduced directly from the classroom next to it, "The academy has two floors, and there are seven classrooms in total, four on the first floor and three on the second floor. The largest classroom is the elementary class. Intermediate class..."

He pointed to the door he came out of: "This is the art classroom of the crash course, where you can learn painting, and next to it is the teacher's office."

"There are music classes, acting classes, and arithmetic classes upstairs. Do you want to go up and watch them?"

"No, no need." The archbishop of the Temple of Wisdom was a little surprised, "Are all these taught by the envoy?"

Big Eyes shook his head: "No, Hill and Bernie taught us painting and musical instruments, Yinuoke taught us how to perform, and Angel taught us arithmetic."

"There are still many students who are not studying in the classroom, they are at the craftsman, and everyone chooses a skill to learn."

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish." The Archbishop of the Temple of Wisdom expressed his emotion.

The Archbishop of the Temple of Wealth took the opportunity to ask: "What is the white thing that God uses to write on the wall?"

Big Eye said: "It's chalk, made of white soil, there are many in the mountains behind."

What white clods?What is it called?

The Archbishop of the Temple of Wealth wanted to ask, but obviously the child didn't know.

Walking out of the corridor and down the steps, Big Eyes took them to visit the dormitory.

"The academy has day students and boarding students." Big Eye said, "We orphans all live in the school."

"Sorry." The Archbishop of the Temple of Wisdom apologized.

Big Eye shook his head: "You don't need to feel sorry for this, it's not your fault that we became orphans."

No, maybe it's our fault.

The archbishop of the Temple of Love looked ashamed.

He remembered seeing the document about the defeat of the territory of Hongxiang City. He didn't pay much attention to it, but just dealt with it according to the previous dogma.

There was a smile on Dayan's face: "Although we have suffered, but fortunately, we met the envoy of God, and the envoy of God took us in, so we don't have to suffer from hunger and bullying anymore."

The archbishop of the Temple of Love felt even more guilty when he heard the words.

The Archbishop of the Temple of Wealth asked: "Didn't the Temple of Hongxiang City send priests to tour after the defeat?"

The Holy See clearly sent [-] gold coins to Hongxiang City to ask the local temple to appease the believers who suffered from the war, and he signed it himself.

"No." Big Eye said, "After the viscount in my former territory escaped, the robbers occupied the manor. My mother was the maid of the manor. She was pulled into the room by the robbers and never came out again. I was arrested together with other low-level servants. It was locked in the basement, and later..."

He paused slightly, and said: "Later, a new viscount came and fought against the robbers. We escaped in the chaos. I wandered around the town with a few partners for a while, and met the guards of the angel..."

Seeing that the Archbishop of the Temple of Wealth had a bad expression, he hurriedly added: "Perhaps a priest has been there after we left..."

No, they haven't been there at all!

The archbishop of the Temple of Wealth was angry.

Someone dared to violate the will of the temple!

How dare you fool the temple!

Do you think he doesn't know when he stays in Wangcheng?

Yes, you don't know.

The Archbishop of the Temple of Wisdom could easily see what he was thinking, pressed his shoulder with a little force, and at the same time said with big eyes: "Sorry, this is our negligence."

Big Eye: "Are you priests?"

Archbishop of the Temple of Wisdom: "In other words, yes."

The Archbishop of the Temple of Wealth restrained his expression, but the anger in his heart did not diminish.

The Archbishop of the Temple of Justice had a serious expression on his face. He wrote down the matter and planned to send someone to investigate carefully.

After visiting the dormitory and cafeteria, Big Eye took them to the garden and playground, and took a rest in the pavilion halfway.

Several bishops studied the guqin and the chessboard on the stone table for a moment.

The archbishop of the Temple of Love loves the chess pieces polished out of unknown materials.

After visiting the academy, the archbishop of the Temple of Wisdom invited Big Eye: "Would you like to continue to be our guide and show us other places in the town?"

"Of course." Big Eyes readily accepted.
