Chapter 0011 Literacy and Reading
Feng Yong had no experience in raising maggots, and he didn't even understand the complete process, so he could only continue to experiment based on what he had learned in his previous life, as well as based on his own inferences. Raising earthworms is much simpler for Feng Yong. Earthworms like fertile land, or rather, they can turn less fertile land into fertile land, which is a good thing.
The people of the three countries already have a vague concept of land fertility, the practice of rotating tillage to let the land rest and restore the fertility of the land, and even the practice of turning the weeds in the field into the ground to make fertilizer. However, the most direct way to restore the fertility of the land is to sprinkle farm manure on the field, which has not yet been thought of.
For example, the Feng family's Zhuangzi, where people defecate everywhere, and the road is full of cow dung, and there is never a concept of centralized disposal, which makes Feng Yong feel disgusting at first, and now he feels very wasteful.
Cow dung, leaves or straw hoes, and then mixed with soil in a certain proportion to ferment, is the best thing to raise earthworms, and it is also a good thing to fertilize the land. From now on, the housekeeper should be instructed to pay attention to the matter of farm fertilizer. Feng Yong thought while writing down the idea of raising maggots and earthworms on the bamboo slips.
looked up at the younger sister who was standing aside and waiting, and saw that the black and big eyes were full of admiration, and even the breathing was much lighter than usual, for fear of disturbing Feng Yong, who was writing.
"Literate?"
Shake oneβs head.
"Want to be literate?"
He hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"Know what it's called?" Feng Yong shook the pen in his hand.
"Pen."
The voice is soft.
"What about this?"
Shake the bamboo slips again.
"Bamboo chips?"
Clearly questionable.
"This is called a bamboo slip. What is this called? β
"Paper. There was one in the house, which Aung brought back. β
I'll go! It seems that Ding Er said that he wanted to bring that piece of paper back to offer, which is really not nonsense.
Feng Yong thought to himself, and at the same time shook the pen in his hand again, and asked again, "What is this called?" β
"Pen."
"Where's this?"
"Bamboo slips."
"Where's this?"
"Paper."
"Do you want to be literate?"
nodded, then suddenly thought of something, shook her head again in a panic, and then saw Feng Yong's meaningful smile, the younger sister hurriedly lowered her head, and her voice was like a mosquito, "The maid doesn't dare to ......"
"Go to Uncle Zhao and ask for a sand table and branches, and say that I ordered it."
Reading and literacy has been the privilege of the aristocracy since ancient times, and it was only later that it gradually spread to some ordinary landlords. As for the common people, they have never been included in the scope of reading and literacy. The so-called children of the poor family mentioned in later generations brought at least one door word, and the cold family is also a door, at least they have the qualifications to study. As for the common people, they were called Qianshou, and they were never regarded as complete people, at least not until the Three Kingdoms.
Not being qualified to study, not having the capital to study is one thing. On the other hand, teaching Mongolian children to read and write was a great problem in ancient times. Only when the child has mastered enough words can he cut the rhyme, and finally it is "to speak", and "to speak" is to talk about the meaning of the article. This method is extremely inefficient and requires not only a lot of resources, but also a lot of time and energy, which ordinary people cannot afford.
Even for many families who are able to go to school, the most important thing for a child to reach his or her teenage years is not literacy, but learning a life skill. Whether it is the most humble business, or a craft, or the management of a grange, only by learning a life skill can you have a skill to support yourself and your wife and children when you are ready to marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
So in this era, literacy and reading are said separately. A child from a wealthy family may write a certain number of words, may recognize most of the words, and may even be able to write a letter to the family that people can understand, but if it is said that to write an article, most people may not be able to do it, this is literacy, but they are already considered to be readers.
And those who really have the conditions and ability to go further are not all able to reach the point of continuing to study. Because some are not smart enough, or some are not talented in reading, they will be eliminated again.
The rest are the most elite category of people. So, that's why the ancients regarded reading as a sacred thing. Reading books and being able to read their own opinions is indeed the smartest person, and as for writing a biography, it is already called a hundred generations.
Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the illiteracy rate was more than 80 percent, and by 2000, it was only less than 7 percent. Among them, night school literacy has played an important role, that is, when Feng Yong was in elementary school in his previous life, there was a sign of night school literacy in the classroom closest to the school gate. And there is one factor that cannot be ignored in the success of this literacy eradication, that is, Hanyu Pinyin, which was originally used to eliminate Chinese characters, has finally become a great contributor to the popularization of Chinese, which cannot but be said to be a great irony.
However, I have to admit that Hanyu Pinyin is a great improvement on the pronunciation of Chinese characters that can only be used in the past by straight characters or reverse cuts. And Feng Yong, now holding this big killer, although the ancient and modern pronunciation is not exactly the same, but the use of pinyin is the same.
Feng Yong wants to know whether teaching people to read and write faster than the methods of this era using the method of Chinese pinyin, as for how much she can learn, it depends on her own talent.
Knowing that Feng Yong wanted the sand table to teach his younger sister to read and write, the housekeeper's eyes when he looked at his younger sister changed, and he didn't know what this made him think of, so he nodded and praised: "This young sister seems to be really blessed, and she can be looked at differently by the lord." If you can really read more people in the house, others will look up to us. Since then, Feng Mansion has really become a cultivator and heirloom, and it is not in vain that the old lord has used his life to get all this. β
Feng Yong couldn't answer this, but he couldn't directly deny the housekeeper's words, so he could only nod, "It's just right that Uncle Zhao is here, and there is another thing that Uncle Zhao needs to worry about when raising chickens." β
At that moment, he talked about the accumulation of cow manure, and specifically said that in the future, both people and animals will be dealt with in this way.
After hearing this, Steward Zhao looked at Feng Yong with an extremely strange look, if it weren't for the fact that he had Zhu Ji Weng's technique to cover it up, he was afraid that he would feel that Feng Yong's neurosis had committed it again on the spot.
If CD exists as the only center of Shu Han, then there are two centers within CD City, one is the nominal center, the Imperial Palace. One is the actual center, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhuge Liang knelt in front of the desk and meticulously reviewed the documents in his hand. At the age of forty-two, his face was thin and handsome, his bearing was not angry but self-assured, and his sharp eyes swept the bamboo slips on the case, and he directly wrote down his opinions with his right hand...... Ten lines at a glance, hands do not stop, there is almost no time for hesitation.
Ma Jian hurriedly came in with a book in his hand, his expression was a little worried, and he hurriedly said to Zhuge Liang on the seat: "Prime Minister, Nanzhong is urgent!" β
Zhuge Liang said "um", pointed to the side, and said while bowing his head to review the bamboo slips: "Put it here, and I'll look at it after I finish approving this document." β
"Prime Minister, let's read the urgent report from Nanzhong first, right?" Although Ma Tan put the bamboo slips away according to his words, he persuaded in his mouth, "Nanzhong is the opposite!" β
"Nanzhong has been dissatisfied for a long time, and Dongwu has newly acquired the land of Jingzhou, and there will be a heart of peeking into Shu. Now that the emperor has died, the lord is young, if Dongwu colludes with Nanzhong, Nanzhong will rebel, what's strange? Zhuge Liang said, without stopping in his hand, and put the finished bamboo slips aside, then raised his head and said lightly.
Ma Tan was stunned, this seems to be a little familiar, a few days ago, did someone seem to have said something similar?
"But Prime Minister, if the opposite of Nanzhong is related to Soochow, then Soochow must have action. Cao Wei in the north is powerful, and he took the opportunity to enter, and Shuzhong is surrounded by enemies on three sides, how can it be good then? β
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's movements in his hand stopped and sighed softly, "Yes, since the death of the first emperor, I have always been thinking, what should I do if I am attacked on three sides?" β
