Chapter 182 Sudden Coming

Of course, Ning Qi's unscrupulous bullshit could not be exposed. At this time, no one in the Ming Dynasty knew what was going on in North America, thousands of miles away. It didn't matter even if he included all of South America. Li Nai, who didn't know the truth, could only look at the map and sigh at the power of Han Dynasty: "Your country has such a vast territory and its national power must be at its peak. No wonder you can create so many exquisite things!"

Ning Qi just smiled, neither denying nor admitting Li Nai's guess. Haihan's territory will definitely be vast in the future, but now it is far from being close to its peak. At best, it can only be a local tyrant in Sanya, a place with high mountains and far away from the emperor.

Next, Ning Qi took the two guests to visit several more classes, and also sat in on half of the general knowledge class. After coming out of the classroom, Li Nai began to express his thoughts: "It is really a blessing for the local people that you teach and educate people in Shengli Port. It's just that I really don't agree with the courses you teach. After watching it for a long time, There is no gentleman who teaches the Four Books and Five Classics, and all he talks about is mathematics and common sense. How can one understand things without reading the books of sages? If it is inconvenient for you to purchase books, I would like to purchase some from Guangzhou and give them to your primary school."

Ning Qi thanked Li Nai for his kindness before explaining: "The purpose of our primary school is not to cultivate talented people, successful candidates, and successful scholars here, but to teach these children to read and read, and to let them master the skills of learning. method. In this way, they can slowly learn the various knowledge we brought from Haihan in their future lives.”

Li Nai wondered: "Why don't you study the various works of the sages? Mr. Ning looks down on me, the Ming Dynasty?"

Ning Qi shook his head and said: "I don't have such an idea. The things scholars in the Ming Dynasty learn are different from those of us Haihan people. You pay more attention to spiritual things, while we value practical value."

"To govern a country and bring peace to the world, don't we all rely on the teachings of the sages? Why is it impractical!" Li Nai argued.

"Mr. Li, political theory alone is not enough to govern a country and bring peace to the world. Have you ever seen any dynasty that came to power with just one mouth and one book? Military power is essential!" Although Ning Qi is also an intellectual, he is not The style of the Ming Dynasty civil servants only wanted to suppress the military attaché system. He was very clear about the importance of military power in maintaining power: "Studying the Four Books and Five Classics cannot make guns or forge cannons, but learning the knowledge of our Haihan can. These students The jobs they will be engaged in in the future cannot be qualified by obtaining official titles from the imperial court, and we do not want them to spend time and energy on obtaining official titles. ”

The current situation of the Chuan Chuan Group dictates that the training goal of the education system is to focus on practical technical workers. As for some liberal arts majors, even if Ning Qi is not willing to give up, he can only obey the collective needs first. The current cultural and educational system does not even have enough teachers to teach reading and writing. How can there be time to teach the Four Books and Five Classics? If Ning Qi dares to propose this motion at the executive committee, he will definitely be sprayed with blood by the Industrialists.

Li Nai opened his mouth wide, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute Ning Qi's "fallacy". This was the first time in his life that he had heard that studying was not for the purpose of gaining fame. This simply subverted the values ​​​​that he had formed over more than 20 years of life.

Ning Qi shook his head and said: "Mr. Li, I am not saying this to make you accept my point of view. I just hope you know that what we do here has our own considerations. For these children, they can Receiving free education is a benefit to the people, you can’t deny it, right?”

Li Nai nodded, agreeing with Ning Qi's statement. Although there were private schools in the Ming Dynasty, local clans often provided financial support behind them, and the enrollment targets were mainly for children of their own families. They were not as eclectic as the primary schools run by the Haihan people, and even children from the Li and Miao ethnic groups were admitted. Correct. If we really go by what Confucius said, there is no distinction between education and distinction, Li Nai must admit that the Haihan people undoubtedly did a better job than the Ming Dynasty's educational institutions.

Ning Qi then added: "Which education system is better, I won't argue with you, time will help us distinguish..."

At this moment, the phone on Ning Qi rang. When Ning Qi took it out and saw that it was the office number of the Executive Committee, he thought to himself: Could it be that the Yangma was making too much noise and the brothers who were left behind in the office couldn't hold it anymore? He immediately apologized to Li Nai and He Qiang and walked aside to answer the phone.

Li He and Li He have seen many Haihan people using this strange little black box to communicate across the air in the past few days. At first, they thought it was a Haihan people's magic, but after explanation, they realized that it was some kind of magic that they couldn't do. A comprehensive calling tool that enables air-to-air calls even from miles away. Of course, Li Nai's intention to buy the phone was rejected without any surprise.

What was slightly beyond Ning Qi's expectation was that the call from the executive committee was not to ask him to go back and help him argue, but to inform him that it was a warning from the meteorological department that there might be a short-term tropical storm passing through today and tomorrow. Shengli Hong Kong Primary School needs to suspend classes immediately and place all students in the barracks in Base No. 1.

There are no real meteorological majors in the meteorological department of Chuanchuan Group. However, college graduates majoring in oceanography, agriculture, information engineering and other majors have learned some relevant knowledge in school, and they have pieced together a weather department. In the forecasting team, veteran experts Yuan Ruoxiu and his wife from the Ministry of Agriculture serve as consultants, and Yue Zhiyun from the Ministry of Shipping also serves as the team leader.

Hainan is currently in the rainy season, but the rain here often comes and goes quickly. There is even a magical saying that "it rains on the head of an ox and dries the tail of an ox". After answering the phone, Ning Qi was not too nervous. He first notified his colleagues to organize the gathering of students from each class, and then explained to Li He that the weather might deteriorate soon and the visit might have to be temporarily suspended. Li Nai also expressed his understanding of this. Since the Haihan people concluded that there will be violent storms soon and the school will be evacuated, then as a guest, it is best to obey the arrangement.

Although Victory Port Primary School does not adopt a militarized management like the Scouts, primary training such as group gatherings is still practiced frequently. Therefore, the students quickly evacuated to the playground and stood in class units according to the teacher's instructions. queue. Several teachers quickly collected the teaching aids and teaching materials, and then directed the students to set off in two columns. Li Nai was amazed after seeing it. He felt that Haihan people really implemented the word "rules" into all aspects of life. Even organizing students to evacuate was so orderly.

Shengli Port Primary School is very close to the north gate of Base No. 1, only half a mile away, so it can be reached in a short walk. The children did not feel frustrated at all about taking refuge, but seemed very excited. Most of them had never entered the fortress where Mr. Haihan lived. For them, having the opportunity to enter here was already a big deal. Such great luck.

The students were placed in several prefabricated rooms that had been vacated. Although it seemed a little crowded, children of this age obviously would not complain about it. They were full of curiosity about everything here, even including The strange wooden house itself is included. Li Nai and He Qiang were also taken back to the accommodation arranged for them. Ning Qi also specially told them not to wander around to avoid trouble.

After completing these things, Ning Qi returned to the executive committee and began to assist relevant departments in disaster prevention work. Offshore production units have taken direct measures to stop work and are already evacuating workers. The local residents living in some simple shacks were also organized and settled into more solid wooden houses. All ships were notified to return to the harbor to take shelter from the wind, and the ships began to be firmly fixed together with ropes on the pier to resist possible strong winds and waves.

Ning Qi was busy until lunch time when he finally had time to inquire about the situation from the weather forecast team. The person in charge, Yue Zhiyun, is very pessimistic about future changes in weather conditions: "We can only judge that there will be tropical storms now, but we cannot make more precise estimates of intensity, duration and possible direction. Alas, what if? It would be great to have satellite cloud images!”

Ning Qi smiled and said: "Stop dreaming. Seriously, how serious will this tropical storm be?"

"It can be light or heavy!" Yue Zhiyun frowned and said, "It might just be a heavy rain that will pass in half an hour, but it might also turn into a typhoon and turn Victory Harbor into ruins. ! ”

Ning Qi was surprised and said: "Is the situation really that serious?"

Yue Zhiyun shook his head and said: "Let's do our best to ensure Tianming's safety. All we can do now is pray. I hope God doesn't play too hard with us!"

After lunch, the originally sunny sky soon turned cloudy, and all the seabirds that usually hovered in the harbor disappeared. Several construction sites, shipyards, carpentry rooms and other places in Victory Port have stopped work. The bustling port area in the past has become silent, and only the sound of waves constantly lapping against the dock embankment can be heard. However, there was a lively scene in Base No. 1. Under the command of the generals, workers were constantly reinforcing the buildings in the base with ropes, wooden piles and other tools.

The weather forecast team has been stationed on the wall, reporting the changes in wind speed and pressure to the executive committee, and then the relevant personnel will calculate the possible storm intensity on the computer.

Soon a gust of wind blew from the sea in the south, causing several small-tonnage sailboats parked in the port to sway from side to side. Yue Zhiyun looked at the anemometer in his hand and said loudly into the walkie-talkie: "The current wind speed has exceeded ten meters per second, and it seems that there is an upward trend... It has reached fifteen meters!"

Tao Donglai ordered loudly on the other end of the walkie-talkie: "For safety reasons, the weather observation team will withdraw indoors immediately!"
