Chapter 273 Spring

In spring, the sun is mild and rainy.

During the transition period between winter and summer monsoons, cold air and warm and humid air flow increase and decrease.

All things grow and recover.

The beginning of spring in the territory is no exception, and it has experienced a three-month winter with a slightly cold atmosphere. At the beginning of spring, rain soaks the soil and awakens vitality, and the first thunder of Jingzhe falls.

New seedlings begin to emerge from the land, trees sprout new branches, and rice and wheat that have spent a winter in the fields also bloom and hang ears one after another, accumulating sugar in the warm sunshine.

With the bright sunshine of the spring equinox, it is a sign that the spring is halfway through, and the drizzle will continue uninterruptedly. At this time, it is Qingming Festival, and each household should eat some snacks and visit their ancestors.

The worship of life and death is a heavy stroke in culture, but most of the people in the territory have left their homes. Even if they want to worship, they can't find the direction. Ji Lin still gives most of the people in the territory a holiday on this day, providing snacks such as Qingtuan and rice cakes, so that they can all go home and have a good rest for a day.

He wanted to convey this importance to the people in the territory.

After the Qingming Festival, it was close to Grain Rain.

The spring rain continued, and the rain gave birth to hundreds of grains.

It was also the season that the territory was experiencing. The drizzle fell from the clouds that were gloomy but also revealed a little luster. The dew passed through the wheat and rice that had just hung ears, and sank into the soil along their straight and green roots. More water flowed along the hills and gullies in the fields into the canals that had already been cultivated on both sides.

This was the first complete spring that the territory had experienced.

The people in the territory were busy in the rain, and wearing straw hats to block the drizzle was enough. Occasionally, when the rain got heavier, most of the people in the territory had no tools to shelter from the rain, so they would take a rest in the teahouses that were temporarily built for them and drink a sip of warm brown sugar ginger tea to avoid catching a cold.

The agricultural team leaders put on raincoats made of rice stalks and rice leaves to patrol the entire farmland to avoid the results of months of hard work going to waste.

In the hazy rain and fog, you can also see some figures whose broad figures are set off by straw raincoats protecting the farmland.

There are also small shelters built in the fields for them to rest when they are tired.

The summer harvest is at the end of spring, and the summer planting is completed before the summer rainstorm and scorching heat arrive. This period cannot be relaxed at all.

Wait until the end of the spring rainy season, in late April and early May. The crops are ripe, and it is a good time to harvest the crops and sow again.

"Director Wu, your tea."

At this time, there is a rare guest in the teahouse. Wu Bai, who is currently responsible for internal security and personnel coordination in the territory, is drinking a full cup of brown sugar ginger tea in an earth-colored ceramic tea bowl.

These ceramics do not have the beauty of white jade, but they are also strong and firm, and they are not much worse than wooden bowls for serving rice and dishes. Moreover, the production speed is faster than that of wooden bowls that need to be polished bit by bit. They are made of clay and sent into the kiln to get a large number of simple pots and pans.

He was also wearing a raincoat like the others, but it was thicker and finer.

Unlike the raincoats that others were hired to make, the one Wubai was wearing was made by the people of the territory and presented to him. He was also presented with the 200 guards of the entire guard team who worked tirelessly day and night.

Ji Lin also wanted to equip the territory guards with such thick raincoats. When it rained heavily, the guards would need to come forward. The guards went door to door to deliver supplies to their doorsteps, either firewood for heating, or lunch and dinner.

If it was confirmed that there would be heavy rain on a day, the canteen would prepare two meals and let the guards deliver them together.

When there was a shortage of manpower and the task was difficult, the guards would call on the militiamen in the territory who had undergone certain training to help them complete the task.

Hearing that the raincoat was given to the guards, the people of the territory said that they would not accept the employment fee approved by Ji Lin this time. Instead, they found Liu Yansheng, the head of the agricultural area, to present the raincoat to the guards after it was made.

Ji Lin divided the funds into two parts, one part was used to provide extra meals for the people, and the other part was used to build several new teahouses outside the agricultural area for the farmers to rest after work.

"Thank you."

Wu Bai smiled and nodded to him. The warm ginger tea went down his throat, and the unique spiciness and fragrance of ginger made his body a little hot. The fully dissolved brown sugar in it made people feel happy even on this rainy day. Then he sat in his seat and listened to the farmers around him talking about summer harvest and summer planting.

Even the farmers in the fields were required to receive compulsory education at the primary school stage. They still had some difficulty reading books and newspapers, but writing their own names was not a problem.

After all, the first lesson was to learn to write their own names.

In addition to basic education, there was also enhanced agricultural knowledge education by various agricultural groups, and each group could get a small notebook for them to study.

The people engaged in agricultural work discussed agricultural planting and family matters, and talked about whether the weather would be better tomorrow. If they could get more sun for a few days, the ears of wheat and rice would be fuller. Some people were also discussing what to decorate the 100-square-meter house they had obtained.

The people who were no longer trapped by life, had a place to live, and had enough food were quite simple.

It was much better than his hometown.

"Director Wu, I heard that the leader wanted to expand the enrollment... what is it called... junior high school students..."

"Yes, there is indeed a plan to expand the enrollment."

Wu Bai nodded to the clerk,

junior high school education.

It was not much, only Chinese, mathematics, and physics.

These three subjects are subjects for which the territory can independently edit teaching materials and train teachers. Some private school teachers have been transferred to the academy to receive night shift training. The current private school teachers are already very overwhelmed in the face of the new population. It is even more difficult after some teachers are transferred to receive junior high school education.

The only time the dean has free time is at night.

Ji Lin said that he could only suffer a little longer as the principal.

The dean of the college used cakes and alcohol to trick the old bishop into joining him in educational work. He was the only one who really couldn't stand it. He even went to Ji Lin and Zhongshan to hold several small meetings, demanding that the territory's private school education model be replaced with a more modern system.

It is best to integrate primary school and junior high school. One teacher can teach both primary school and junior high school at the same time without wasting their abilities.

"The bulletin board in front of the city hall should also publish the new batch of enrollment plans."

Wu Bai thought for a while and explained to this territorial citizen. Since the literacy rate began to increase, the territory has begun to use bulletin boards to replace verbal notifications due to a lack of manpower, thus saving a considerable amount of manpower.

This enrollment plan is used to select subjects with magical talents from the current tens of thousands of people, as well as subjects who are particularly talented in learning.

"I come home after work every day and don't have much time to look at the bulletin board."

The leader scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

Wu Bai was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the bulletin board was placed too far away and it would be inconvenient for the citizens to check this issue.

Ji Lin and Zhongshan also thought about this issue when they first planned it. They placed bulletin boards in nearby blocks. But their increasing busyness prevented them from noticing that the expansion of new residences and neighborhoods was far greater than the bulletin board could cover.

They have busier work to deal with, and the territory's government affairs system lacks manpower. There are very few matters that need to be notified in the territory - the plan to add a new bulletin board has been suppressed.

In other words, the current popularity of bulletin boards is still not enough... The literacy rate has gone up, but the number of bulletin boards has not increased.

"It doesn't matter. You won't have to travel so far to see the announcement after a while. If you are interested in enrollment, there will be an enrollment event at the city hall in a while."

Wu Bai took out his notebook, wrote it down on paper, and explained to him at the same time.
