With the propaganda of the ink magazine, Li Fuzi spared no effort to hate and disgust his former opponents in Chang'an City, and the influence of the reading syllogism in Chang'an City gradually increased.

As the imperial capital, Chang'an City can be said to be the most educated area in the Tang Dynasty, with countless academies alone, and a large number of scholars come here every year to study and wait for the triennial imperial examination system.

Although Datang opened the imperial examination, it is a pity that the number of people admitted is too small, only a dozen people in three years, and some of them do not even take it.

But these scholars have repeatedly failed to hit, and they are still pretentious, and they are not willing to put down their bodies at all.

"There are thousands of people who read, and how many people are officials,"

"When people are between the ages of 15 and 25, their memory is the best and the best period for going to school, and when they are more than 30 years old, their memory and energy will gradually decline."

………………

Zhou Chen put down the ink journal in his hand, and his heart was entangled, he participated in four consecutive imperial examinations, but unfortunately he repeatedly fell first! He has passed the year of his establishment, and he still has achieved nothing, and he has not even been admitted to the show.

And he obviously felt that his energy was declining, coupled with the shackles of various family mundane matters, which made him even more powerless.

"Xianggong, you have something on your mind!" Zhou asked worriedly.

Zhou Chen shook his head, looking at Zhou's young age, he had already given birth to Huafa early, and when his family was poor and couldn't survive, he endured the white eyes of his mother's family and came to the door, which made this family barely maintain.

"I want to give up the imperial examination for my husband!" Zhou Chen's voice was low, and he said with all his might. He didn't even dare to look at his wife's expression, because it was Zhou who supported him the most, and his abandonment at this moment almost made Zhou's previous efforts collapse.

Unexpectedly, Zhou did not react violently, but instead felt a sense of relief.

"Xianggong, no matter what decision you make, I support you!" Zhou said softly.

"Madame, aren't you angry?" Zhou Chen couldn't believe it.

Zhou shook his head and said: "Whether to be an official or not, the concubine body is not important, the concubine body just sees that the Xianggong was obsessed with the imperial examination at that time, and naturally helped each other, and now the Xianggong has decided to find another way, and the concubine body is also supported, has the Xianggong ever thought of what the plan is." ”

"I decided to run a school for my husband!" Zhou Chen said firmly.

"Running a school?" Zhou frowned and said: "Xianggong has no fame, I'm afraid not many children from other families are willing to come to school!" ”

"Nope! Preaching for a husband is not to gain fame, but to eradicate illiteracy! Zhou Chen said.

"Illiterate!" Zhou was surprised, although she did not go out of the door, but she was also famous for the word illiteracy, after all, this word was too sharp and bitter, and it was three points into the wood.

"Although some poor families are willing to study, I am afraid they can't afford to be shackled!" Zhou worried.

It is said that the old master Tong of Taipingfang once taught ten people, and the students he received were each bound by the same amount of money every year.

"Of course I won't charge so much for my husband, one hundred in half a year, and only two subjects are taught, literacy and arithmetic!" Zhou Chen handed the two books to Zhou Shidao.

Zhou Chen has already prepared, one of the two books is a thousand-character text commonly used in children's enlightenment, and the other is the first mathematics newly edited by Shen Hongcai, although it is a new book, but the content is extremely simple, it is a common addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations, which is not the slightest problem for Zhou Chen.

Literate and count! Coupled with the low price, Zhou Chen believes that there will be many people from poor families who are willing to learn.

As soon as the husband and wife put it together, they decided to vacate the largest room of the Zhou family, that is, Zhou Chen's former study, as a school, and began to accept apprentices from the listing.

The famous Zhou Luodi is going to run a school! This Qu Chi Fang has caused a lot of sensation! After all, he can't even pass the Xiucai exam for many years, and he is also famous in the local area.

"One hundred texts! If you want me to say that Zhou Luodi is not only not successful in learning, but also in business, I am afraid that a hundred Wen is a loss of money and a lot of money! ”

"If you want me to say, Zhou Luodi's knowledge is probably worth a hundred Wen, thanks to his self-knowledge, just teaching people to read and write, or I'm afraid it will be a mistake!"

………………

In the midst of the ridicule on the side, Zhou Chen's school finally opened.

To everyone's surprise, the Zhou Family School was surprisingly popular! More than 60 people were enrolled!

"Sir, my boy is very naughty, if you dare to disobey, just teach a lesson."

"Sir, please leave it to you, my family has no other requirements, as long as Mr. can make him know a few words, do his math well, and be able to follow me to do business!"

"I have been illiterate for generations, but my son cannot be illiterate!"

………………

…………

……

Zhou Chen stood at the door of the school hall renovated in his courtyard, looking at a pair of sincere eyes, and only felt that his decision was correct.

Holding a full six guan money, Zhou's cried with joy, in Datang, six guan money is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, and this is only half a year's bondage.

In the school, Zhou Chen looked at the pens in the hands of the students and fell into a problem.

"Master, this is a pencil! When we buy math books, we don't need to pay for them. ”

"But when you run out of use, you have to buy it, a penny!"

"And a pencil sharpener! That's it! ”

………………

Look at a log the thickness of chopsticks with a thin ink core sandwiched in the middle! Pencil! Of course, he knew that this was the brush of Mo Jiazi's new painting technique, and it was said that there was a snail in the middle, how could it be so cheap.

How did Zhou Chen know that after persistent efforts, Mojia Village finally came up with the ink core! And the cost is surprisingly cheap, this time in order to help Shen Hongcai promote arithmetic, directly with sales.

"Master, this is a gift from the school, but can you write a thousand-character essay?" A student said timidly.

Zhou Chen looked at the students whose clothes were patched all over his body, and Zhou Chen nodded vigorously.

A pencil directly replaces the pen and inkstone, and only needs a penny to use it for more than a month, plus you can write very small words, and even greatly save paper, which is a big blessing for poor students, and from now on, the cost of learning may be reduced to the lowest point.

There are many benefits of pencils, but there is one of the biggest drawbacks, that is, it is too soft, it is easy to make the sleeves with flowers.

Zhou Chen looked at the students' wrong writing order, and wanted to correct it several times, but finally gave up, after all, the biggest need of these students is literacy, and they do not participate in the imperial examination, write articles, and can spend the least amount of money to learn knowledge, which is the biggest truth.

Soon, Chang'an City, a school similar to Zhou Chen, quickly spread, and spread to the Guanzhong area at an alarming speed, and the pencil also spread, and more and more poor students adopted it.

As Merton said, it's not about passing on etiquette, it's about saving money. Everything is imperceptibly, no, it should be subtly inked.
