1840Indian rebirth

(The previous article has been changed, and the first two chapters at the beginning have also been changed, which will not affect the subsequent plot)

In later generations of the United States, Kansas, as an ordinary central state, had little sense of existence.

Mashao, who is in China, mainly knows this state: in the comics, Kansas is the place where Superman Clark Kent grew up.

Superman was never real, it was just a dream of a Kansas farmer - this line seems to indicate that the agricultural conditions in Kansas are not bad.

Indeed, Kansas is one of the most important agricultural states in the United States.

Ma Shao had little experience in agricultural practice, but he looked around and could see that the surrounding agricultural conditions were excellent. The soil was soft and fertile, and the water resources were abundant, making it very suitable for agriculture.

There was still a lot of such high-quality unowned land in Kansas at this time, which was undoubtedly good news for the Sleeping Bear clan.

Later, he and Tu Kuan led more than a dozen people to inspect and select along the Arkansas River. On the same day, they determined an area that was most suitable for reclamation - the land was flat enough and very close to the clan.

In fact, there is no need to choose at all, almost all nearby areas are suitable.

The only problem now is the lack of farm tools. In the previous transaction with Smith, Ma Shao also bought farm tools. Most of the Indians with planting experience such as soil clods also carried some farm tools, but the quantity was ultimately insufficient to support large-scale reclamation.

Planting.

However, Ma Shao did not expect the Mianxiong clan to transform from a hunting nation into an agricultural nation this year.

In his opinion, the most important agricultural goal this year is to accumulate and spread experience among the tribe and cultivate a group of farmers who can go to the fields.

As for the source of food, it is still hunting bison. The bison herd in Kansas is still prosperous enough, so there should be no problems in recent years.

"Tubu, starting from today, you will lead your tribe to cultivate farmland here." The horse whistle stopped by the Arkansas River and said slowly while looking at the surging river in front of him.

Tu Kuan asked: "Are you bringing someone from the planting department?"

"All tribesmen, as long as they have the ability to work, must come to learn agricultural technology." Mashao said.

"All the clan members!" The people in the planting department were all shocked. After all, there were only a dozen of them in total.

Ma Shao explained: "Of course not at the same time. I plan to set up a primary school and include planting as one of the courses, just like the Chinese language class. You will serve as teachers and teach all the tribesmen in batches."

"Hopefully, by this time next year, we will be able to use grain as our staple food..."

How long did it take to build the first elementary school in the Sleeping Bear Clan?

The answer is two days.

A large wooden shed that can shelter from wind and rain, and a blackboard are the physical entity of Mianxiong Clan Elementary School.

It is said to be a primary school, but in fact it is mainly a literacy class, with students regardless of gender, age or child. A serious school like that will not be able to operate for a while, after all, there is only one qualified teacher, Ma Shao.

Compared with previous literacy classes on the battlefield, the biggest difference in this primary school is that it has two grades, lower grade and upper grade.

There are three courses in the lower grades: writing, arithmetic, and general knowledge.

There are some changes to the upper-level curriculum: Literary, Arithmetic, and World.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the Chinese language class and the arithmetic class. The general knowledge class is also literally about some basic common sense, such as the earth revolving around the sun and so on.

As for the so-called world class, it is actually a high-end version of the general knowledge class, which can also be called the "21st century general knowledge hodgepodge class."

In the world class, Mashao will teach all kinds of common sense in the 21st century from the Big Bang to "Das Kapital" according to his own knowledge structure.

Oh no, "Das Kapital" hasn't been published yet, and Marx may have just met Engels at this time.

Let's talk about Robert Owen - about twenty years ago, this utopian socialist built a "New Harmony Community" in the United States and then failed.

The lecture route is very clear. After the Big Bang, celestial bodies were formed, and then the earth revolved around the sun. Then elements formed compounds, inorganic matter synthesized organic matter, organic matter formed organisms, organisms evolved into humans, and humans developed civilizations, including Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome.

Iberia, the Netherlands and Great Britain, Euclid, Galileo, Newton, Watt, Faraday, stone tools, metals, steam engines...

Although some knowledge may seem advanced, it is not actually advanced because it does not involve details.

For example, the theory of evolution existed before Darwin, but it had many flaws. If you just talk about it roughly, it won't attract much attention if it is spread out.

Another example is the Big Bang. This theory was born after the theory of relativity. If Ma Shao really explained it clearly, after it was spread, the eyes of the whole world would focus on it.

Of course he wants to become the greatest physicist in the world, but the current Mianxiong clan cannot bear the attention of the whole world, and he doesn't know what consequences it will have when the time comes.

So the Big Bang he wants to talk about is actually similar to a myth. The universe exploded into a bunch of celestial bodies inexplicably, without mentioning any details.

Lower grades and upper grades share classrooms, but class times are staggered.

After students in the lower grades pass the exam, they can transfer to the upper grades and gain the basic qualifications to hold positions.

There is only one teacher in the upper grades, Mashao himself.

In addition to Chinese language classes, arithmetic classes, general knowledge classes, and world class classes, there are also two special courses that have nothing to do with grade levels, one is planting class, and the other is physical education class.

There is no doubt that in the education system of later generations, agriculture and sports are one of the components, but now these two courses have little to do with Mianxiong Elementary School. Although they are included in the elementary school curriculum, they are actually the planting department and the military department.

Directly responsible.

When one grade is taking cultural classes, the other grade must take physical education classes or planting classes to exercise, learn first aid knowledge, and learn planting techniques.

In senior class class.

The first world class is underway.

The senior students all graduated from the battlefield literacy class, including the long stick. Now, Mashao is adding some novel knowledge to their brains.

"The universe was born in a big explosion, ejecting countless elements, and then condensed into celestial bodies, like blooming gunpowder..." Ma Shao slowly told.

The minimalist version of the Big Bang theory only has a few words, but he still spoke for a few minutes.

Because in order to describe these things, he created many new words in the Apache language, which he had to constantly emphasize and repeat so that the students could adapt.

What happened next was no surprise.

Long Stick asked a question, a question that almost all students have wondered: "Teacher, what was before the birth of the universe?"
