Chapter 251 Lecture Plan
"Lu Xiao and Hu Qiu are already quite skilled in construction, so I'll have them assist me this time."
Seeing the serious looks on everyone's faces, Lin Baiyan joked, "Don't be so nervous. Even if we can't understand the blueprints, we can still build houses."
How can that work?
This is the house they will live in for the rest of their lives, so of course they should treat it well!
Seeing their enthusiasm, Lin Baiyan exchanged a glance with Lang Cang, and the two tacitly refrained from saying that even if they learned calculation and writing, they might not be able to understand the blueprints.
After all, even Lu Xiao, who was quite talented in architecture, was quite troubled for a while when he first encountered that thin piece of animal skin.
Since that's the case, let's just take advantage of their high level of interest and start a class!
“In that case, let’s skip small classes and start large classes directly. This time, we’ll hold them in the central square. There’s a huge stone slab that can be placed on the altar. I’ll find you a few teachers.”
"All members of the tribe must study for one hour every day."
At this point, Lin Baiyan suddenly remembered that they didn't have an accurate timekeeping instrument yet. He recalled that before clocks were invented, their ancestors used sundials to tell time.
However, this really was outside his area of expertise.
He'll have to set aside some time another day to study how to make this sundial.
"As for the instructors... let's tentatively name Yangye and Maoyu!"
Cat Feather, who had been silently playing a background role, was stunned when he heard his name called. He was supposed to be a teacher? Was the priest brother mistaken? What could he possibly teach?
However, in front of so many people, Maoyu wisely swallowed her questions and decided to wait until after the meeting to talk to her priest brother.
Lin Baiyan thought about it more and more and felt it was a good fit. He felt that this class could be expanded and not limited to what it taught. While text and numerical calculations were the most basic, it could also include handicrafts, drawing, daily housework, cooking, sewing, and leather processing.
From the very beginning, it was clear from the orcs of the Azure Flame Tribe that everyone was living a difficult life, and the orcs themselves lived a rough existence.
You can get them to work without any problem, but you have to ask them how they plan to live.
I guarantee that out of ten orcs, they'll all look at you with blank expressions.
Just look at the big tigers of the Silver Tiger Clan; they're not very good at these delicate crafts. They wear a single animal skin skirt everywhere, and in winter they might wear a cloak over it at most.
The hair is short, but you can tell the hairdresser isn't very skilled. Just look at Hu Liu before; his hair looked like it had been chewed by a dog.
After being ravaged by harsh living conditions for so long, our spirits have long been numb, and we only know how to live one day at a time. This little class is so useful.
It can not only teach everyone common sense about life, but also enrich the spiritual world of the beastmen!
Lin Baiyan's eyes lit up, and he was immediately immersed in his imagined all-purpose classroom.
While thinking, he grabbed a thin piece of animal hide and started writing and drawing.
Seeing his little companion looking so focused, Lang Cang knew that he had probably come up with some new idea. So, Lang Cang, the patriarch who was about to become the city lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City, shook his head seriously at the elders beside him without saying a word.
This is how Bai Yan is when she's immersed in something; she seems oblivious to everything around her.
Seeing Lang Cang's signal, the surrounding beastmen tacitly refrained from interrupting Lin Baiyan.
At this moment, Lin Baiyan, who was extremely focused, kept refining the plan. Since the goal was to create a classroom that would promote all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, then the teacher could be anyone. Tu Lin could teach everyone about gathering, Hu Ying could teach everyone how to knead animal hides, and Hu Jiang could lead everyone in weaving baskets and doing carpentry.
As he wrote this, Lin Baiyan realized something was amiss. He seemed to have been so focused on the fact that everyone could learn something that he forgot that on the Beastman Continent, knowledge was an incredibly precious thing for the Beastmen, and he couldn't guarantee that everyone would be willing to teach what they had learned to others.
Lin Baiyan is not a domineering person. Even though he teaches his knowledge to others, he does not expect them to selflessly give back their knowledge.
Thinking of this, Lin Baiyan stopped writing with his charcoal pencil. When he looked up, he found everyone gathered around him, looking at his plan, which looked like scribbles.
Lin Baiyan covered his animal skin somewhat embarrassedly. When he was concentrating, he would write in a rather unrestrained manner, and the scribbles were probably only recognizable to himself.
Surrounded by onlookers, Lin Baiyan finally realized that he had actually started writing a proposal during the conference.
Lin Baiyan couldn't help but glare at Lang Cang slightly. He had forgotten the current situation, why didn't Lang Cang remind him?
Lang Cang smiled slightly, "Your inspiration is easily lost if you're distracted."
Lin Baiyan had often mentioned this phrase to him before. Although Lang Cang didn't understand what inspiration meant, it wasn't hard to guess that it was probably just his strange and unusual ideas.
Hearing Lang Cang say that, Lin Baiyan's fair cheeks flushed slightly; he remembered that quite accurately.
"High Priest, what are you writing?" Fox Zhen stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Lin Baiyan was slightly taken aback by Hu Zhen's change of address so quickly. "This is my lecture plan, but it's not perfect yet."
"I happen to have a question I'd like to ask you."
These are the main pillars of each race, making them the perfect starting point for Lin Baiyan.
"What does Little Flame want to ask?" Fox Cloud chimed in.
"If you were asked to teach your knowledge to others, would you be willing?"
The orcs were slightly taken aback by his question. "What does that mean?"
"I want to develop a diversified classroom, not just focusing on writing and calculation, but also teaching other things like gathering, cooking, and manufacturing."
"The premise is that someone is willing to be the teacher and pass on the knowledge they have learned to others." Lin Baiyan looked at them very seriously.
Upon hearing Lin Baiyan's words, the expressions of the orcs varied. What did this mean?
Should they be expected to share their precious knowledge with everyone?
Just then, the first to respond was Tu Lin. Lin Baiyan hadn't expected that the stubborn old man would be the first to respond to him. "I'm willing. I can teach everyone the knowledge I've gathered!"
Lin Baiyan blinked in surprise as he looked at his Uncle Rabbit.
Seeing Lin Baiyan's gaze, Tu Lin felt a little awkward. In the past, he would never have taught others what he had learned. In Lin Baiyan's words, "Teaching a disciple will starve the master."
Once everyone else has learned it, how can we demonstrate its value?
But ever since Lin Baiyan arrived, he has generously shared all the knowledge he possesses, leading their Cangyan tribe step by step to where they are today. Tu Lin has gradually realized how narrow-minded he was before.
