Wang Gou'er cried and mourned, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Second senior sister, you are really right, my younger brothers and sisters are these nicknames." ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Ping thought about it carefully, in fact, this is also very normal, after all, medicine was backward at that time, and he hoped to take a cheap name and grow up smoothly.

After returning to Zhaojiazhuang, when my mother saw Zhao Ping coming with so many children, she was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and each of them was rewarded with a five-dollar silver horn.

Wang Qihu's appearance was not bad, but after changing into new clothes, they also looked more energetic.

Although each person has two new clothes, their old clothes are still carefully kept with a baggage.

The family was so poor that they were afraid.

At this time, watching Zhao Ping's mother reward each of his descendants with a silver horn, plus the silver horn rewarded by Zhao Ping, the children alone will get one or two silver, not to mention that the children are also apprenticed, the four of them suddenly burst into tears, knelt down together and kowtowed and said: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, Master." Your kindness can only be repaid by being a cow and a horse. ”

Mother's dear gift Zhao Ping glanced at Wang Gou'er's stepmother Wang Xiangshi and said, "Sister-in-law of the Wang family, I heard that you are pregnant, but is there such a thing?" ”

Wang Xiangshi glanced at Wang Gou'er, then looked at his lower abdomen, and then replied cautiously: "Mastermother, Lang Zhong has been determined, but it has been three months, and it is not in the way." ”

She was afraid that Zhao Jiazhuang would not let her work.

She was afraid of losing her income because of it.

Zhao Ping understood what she meant, and had to arrange a job for her that the pregnant woman could do.

Zhao Ping turned back to his mother and said, "Mother, now the stall in Zhaojiazhuang is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are needed. The craftsmen who work for Zhaojiazhuang do not have parents and elders at home, and children are prone to accidents. Moreover, in the future, these workshops will need more literate people to do things. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ping said: "It's better to do this, Zhaojiazhuang runs two schools, one is a primary school school, teaching literacy, Gewu, medicine, and arithmetic, aged five to fourteen; One is the preschool school, which focuses on taking care of children, learning nursery rhymes, and knowing simple calligraphy and painting. Mother, what do you think? ”

The mother thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You can run a school, but there is no gentleman." ”

Zhao Ping glanced at Cuizhu and Zhao Yilang and Zhao Erlang, then at Zhao Jie, and then at Wang Xiangshi and said, "Sir, I and Cuizhu can be the same." We mainly run primary schools here, and the requirements are not high. It is also possible to recruit literate people from among the refugees, and it is not necessary to pass the expulsion test, as long as there are people such as uncles. ”

Zhao Ping's words temporarily eliminated the consideration in his mother's heart.

"As for the nursery school, it's even simpler, and the sister-in-law of the Wang family can do it. The main purpose of the nursery school is to take these children well, sing a little nursery rhyme and so on. It just so happens that the sister-in-law of the Wang family is pregnant and can't do heavy work, but there is no problem in taking care of children under the age of five. As for Yulu, there are six primary schools and three kindergartens. Mother, what do you think? ”

Zhao Ping can write poetry and is obviously competent.

The key thing is that Zhao Ping is an immortal disciple.

Being able to write beautiful articles, being able to make instruments, and being a gentleman is no problem.

But what about green bamboo?

Since Zhaojiazhuang's school is going to be run, it must be done well.

Zhaojiazhuang School must not be allowed to ruin its reputation.

So his mother gave Zhao Jie a look, and Zhao Jie nodded.

The mother looked at Zhao Ping and Cuizhu, and then asked Cuizhu: "Cuizhu, tell me the truth, how many words can you know, and how is the arithmetic?" ”

Cuizhu pondered for a while, then crossed his fingers and said, "I can know about two thousand words, and arithmetic can already do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. ”

Zhao Jie stood up, took out the "Analects" he carried with him, and gave it to Cuizhu, who opened the "Analects" and read it in a crisp voice while drinking water.

Zhao Jie randomly selected the words in these four pages, and Cuizhu also concisely stated the content and meaning of the words.

Zhao Jie asked about the "Gongye Long Story", and Cuizhu said embarrassedly: "Tell Zhao Wengweng that this slave hasn't learned it yet." ”

Zhao Ping knew that this "Gongye Long Story" was already about 1,200 words, which was obviously beyond Cuizhu's ability.

Zhao Jie nodded, and then used the price and total amount of cloth purchased by Wang Qihu and the four of them today to assess Cuizhu.

As soon as Zhao Jie's words fell, Cuizhu immediately gave an answer.

The mother also nodded, it seems that her Ping'er is not only good, but the disciples she taught are also good.

Zhao Jie's face was a little unbearable, and then asked: "Today, there are pheasants (chickens) and rabbits in the same cage, with thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four feet below. ”

This is beyond the scope of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and it was already a relatively difficult problem in ancient times.

The mother originally nodded, and couldn't help but smile slightly, but when she heard this, her mother's smile stopped abruptly.

Obviously, she also knew that this question was very difficult.

Cuizhu thought for a while, and then learned Zhao Ping's use of charcoal, on a piece of paper with his mother and Zhao Jie could not understand the "fork (x), slingshot (Y)" astronomical characters to calculate, in just two minutes, Cuizhu gave the answer, there are twenty-three chickens, twelve rabbits.

My mother was now a little dumbfounded.

Zhao Jie's face was a little embarrassed, so he had to nod, then thought for a while, and asked: "There is a chicken Weng one today, which is worth money; The hen is one, and it is worth three; Three chicks are worth one. Where you buy 100 chickens for 100 dollars, ask the chickens, mothers, and chicks? ”

Zhao Ping saw that this was already a ternary equation, and it was also an infinitive, which was very difficult, and it was one of the most difficult arithmetic problems in ancient China.

Cuizhu had just come into contact with the binary equation, and Cuizhu thought for a while, and sure enough, he gave up.

Zhao Jie then assessed the others.

At the age of six, Lan'er was able to read the Analects. Learn and Chapter" and more than 10 Tang and Song poems and additions and subtractions within 10.

The twelve-year-old Zhao Yilang was able to read the "Xue and Er Chapter" and "For the Government" in front of the "Analects", and Tang poems could also recite thirty poems.

Ten-year-old Zhao Erlang and twelve-year-old Wang Gou'er are between Cuizhu and Lan'er, even eight-year-old Zhao Yiniang and six-year-old Erniang can also recite ten to twenty Tang poems respectively, and even Xia Xiaoniang, who is only three years old, can also recite five Tang poems such as Li Bai's "Silent Night Thoughts".

Zhao Jie couldn't help but keep stroking his beard, looking at his four children and grandchildren with a smile, his heart was full of indescribable pride.

Wang Qihu and Wang Xiangshi couldn't help but be overjoyed, they didn't expect that their son had only been in Zhaojiazhuang for a month, and he had achieved such a good effect, even Wangjiazhuang School did not have this effect.

Everyone didn't expect that Zhao Ping would achieve this effect in just about two months.

Zhao Jie pondered for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Cuizhu is actually able to know more than 2,000 words, and arithmetic is even more extraordinary, dare to ask how Xiao Langjun did it?" ”

Zhao Ping is to let them see the magic of this new pinyin and arithmetic knowledge!

Zhao Jie pointed to "XY" and asked Zhao Ping puzzledly: "Can you calculate faster with a fork and a slingshot?" ”

Zhao Ping forcibly held back the smile in his heart, this housekeeper is too good at imagining.

Zhao Ping pointed to XY and said: "This is not a fork and a slingshot, but XY, they are two unknowns, we can get the result by bringing the unknowns into the calculation in the calculation." ”

Zhao Ping then went on to elaborate on how to use the unknown XY for calculations.

Not only Zhao Jie's family listened attentively, but even his mother also listened to Zhao Ping's explanation wholeheartedly.

Subsequently, Zhao Ping gave an example of how to make calculations.

After listening for a long time, my mother and Zhao Jie were also able to use XY to make simple calculations.

The mother carefully flipped through the pinyin "Three Hundred Long and Short Sentences" page after page, and while gently stepping on the low chanting, she asked Li Hanmei and Jiang Ying to play the accompaniment.

Zhao Tian held the Arabic numeral "Arithmetic" and completely entered the world of the book, wanting to absorb the nutrients in it and prepare for inheriting the father's business of being a housekeeper.

Under the guidance of his nephew, Zhao Yun carefully read "Disciple Rules" in pinyin.

Zhao Jie was stunned and flipped through the "Three Hundred Tang Poems", while pointing to the heavenly characters on it, and asked Zhao Ping curiously: "Xiao Langjun, what is this?" ”

Zhao Ping looked at it and said, "This is pinyin, I use this to mark all the words and." Uncle Weng, do you find it difficult to recognize with syncopated sounds? ”

Zhao Jie thought about it, nodded, and said with a sigh: "Indeed, it is necessary to use known and familiar words to cut new words, and it is not easy to cut accurately. So what's going on with your pinyin? ”

Zhao Ping said patiently: "The difficulty of text recognition is the cutting of sounds, which is too complex and difficult, which greatly affects the ability of students to read and write. There are 63 pinyins here, of which 23 initials, 24 finals, and 16 overall readings. As long as the student has mastered the sixty-three pinyin, any other word can be cleverly combined with these pinyin and easily spelled out. It can be said that literacy in this way increases the speed by at least ten times or more. ”

While learning pinyin under the guidance of Cuizhu, my mother suddenly asked: "Ping'er, for my mother, I also think that your pinyin is definitely fast for reading speed." But for the mother found that some of your pinyin labels are not very accurate, and some seem to have a feeling of going out of tune, I wonder if this is an illusion for the mother? ”

Zhao Ping nodded, thinking that he was marked according to the modern pinyin, and there would definitely be a certain difference from the ancient Yayan, so he rolled his eyes and said: "The child is in a hurry, there must be no fallacy, and I also ask my mother, uncle and everyone to correct it." ”

The mother carefully looked at the pinyin of "Three Hundred Long and Short Sentences", pondered for a long time, then shook her head and said: "Wei Niang is not a jinshi, and there are inevitably omissions in pronunciation. This should be completely marked, not even your uncle; And if your teacher Yuan Xuezheng uses a lifetime of energy, he can only be said to be barely suitable. ”

Speaking of this, the mother suddenly paused, glanced at everyone, and then gently stroked the "Three Hundred Long and Short Sentences" and continued: "Even so, your pinyin will definitely be reprimanded and even attacked by the world's scholars, and it may not be impossible to be ruined." ”
