"I don't know, come, tell me." Wang Ci didn't care about things like his identity, so he pulled him to sit on the side, and asked him to talk about the affairs of the Australian's school.

Lu University told the story of the national school as it was. Wang Ci listened very carefully, he didn't ask Lu Da, what did Lu A and Lu B brothers learn - Lu Da had never studied, and it was in vain to ask. However, Lu Da was very proud to say that his two sons learned Australian knowledge.

"Australian Learning?" Wang Ci didn't understand for a while.

"That's right, just like this field change, how to draw lines, how to dig the soil, it's all done by the villain's son Lu Jia."

Lu Da bragged about it, but in fact, Lu Jia participated in the surveying and mapping of farmland and water conservancy as an apprentice. Lu Da put this honor on him with his father's vanity.

Wang Ci didn't quite believe it—although he didn't understand the knowledge of this Australian, he certainly couldn't learn it from an illiterate country boy.

"Who teach?"

"There are Australian chiefs, and there are also scholars of the Ming Dynasty......"

"There are Ming scholars?"

"Yes, there are several, one is a local, surnamed Zhang, I heard that it was originally a ...... from Goujiazhuang"

"It's Zhang Xingjiao!"

Wang Ci knew this person, because Zhang Xingjiao was a child registered in the county, although he did not go to school, but it belonged to the jurisdiction of his county. Zhang Xingjiao's family was originally quite solid, but later he was oppressed by Gou Da and caused a family to be ruined. Zhang Xingjiao was arrested in the county government because of food arrears, and he had to be flailed, but he still went to intercede to spare a small life, and there was no news of this person for a long time, but he didn't expect to be a thief! wanted to attack Goujiazhuang as soon as the thief landed, most likely he seduced and led the way.

When he did this, Wang Ci thought it was not an exaggeration, in order to avenge his family! Moreover, the Gou family is not a good person in the first place, and if it is destroyed, it will also remove the harm of Lingao. But after taking revenge, he continued to be a thief, which inevitably caused a loss. Wang Ci tried to see him, and persuaded him not to mix with the thieves anymore - he was also Zhang Xingjiao's teacher.

He thought and nodded, "What else are the readers?" ”

"I don't know about this little one. I heard that I came from Guangdong. ”

"Is there a showman?"

"Probably not. Is Xiucai not allowed to stay in his own county in order to have a cold pork collar with anointing silver and silver? ”

These words were originally unintentional, but when Wang Ci heard it, he felt that it was sarcastic: not to mention the silver anointed with fire, even the cold pork that was usually available during the sacrifice had not been received for several years. In the past few years, every time he sacrificed, he used a pig's head instead of a whole pig, and after the sacrifice, it became the exclusive property of his teachings - to be honest, a pig's head is not very good.

He asked perfunctorily, "Do you learn to read?" ”

"Of course, of course, learn to read." Saying that, Lu Da took out a small notebook from his arms, "The kid still wants me to learn to read and write, I said that I don't have this kung fu, and I don't have this brain!" But he said that everyone can learn. What else do you say: there is no class to teach. ”

Wang Ci laughed: I didn't expect Australians to know this--the Australians he came into contact with were people with vulgar words. However, since they claim to be the people of China and the descendants of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not unusual to read a few books of the Four Books and the Five Classics. However, Wang Ci thought that he did not think that the Australians understood these things in his contact with them. The allusions in the four books mentioned when he spoke a few times, the big boss Wu Nanhai looked confused.

It seems that he knows a lot, but when he speaks, he looks like he has never read a book, and he doesn't know what this Australian is learning? He flipped through the pamphlet given to him by Lu Da, and was very curious, he had seen all the letters, notices, and newspapers of Australians, and it was the first time that the book had been written.

The book is printed very simply, slightly yellowed paper, but it is very smooth to the touch, and on the cover is the title of the book in regular script "The First Volume of the New National Literacy Textbook (Trial Edition)", Wang Ci seems to understand the title of the book, and does not care about it, and is surprised to open it: this book is so exquisitely printed!

The paper is clean, the fonts are all upright, the strokes are of general thickness, and what is commendable is that the size and size of these words are exactly the same. There is also no ink staining between the characters. It's extremely refreshing to look at.

"Good book!" Wang Ci praised. Even in the big bookstores in Guangzhou, you can't buy such exquisite books - it is true that Australians make everything exquisitely.

It's just that I feel awkward to hold it, and the book is opened from the right side to the left. The characters are still written horizontally from left to right, and I am not used to it for a while. Looking at it again, it turned out to be a children's book similar to the "Three Character Classic", and there are also ballads and slang songs, but all of them are vulgar characters. Wang Ci's contempt couldn't help but increase a little -- after all, he went overseas, mixed with barbarians, and lost the source of China.

Looking at the content again, the language is vulgar and incomprehensible, Wang Ci only shook his head when he looked at it - if this is a Tongmeng book, it is simply a misguided child, full of vulgar characters, isn't it laughing at people when it is written? Not to mention going to the test. The only good thing he thinks is that both the ballad and the short sentence are read with a broken sentence. It saves a lot of effort from the teacher.

Turning to the front, it's a crooked ghost-like thing. Wang Ci did not know and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Listen to Lu Jia, this is called the pinyin alphabet. It is also a kind of word. ”

This must be the word of the Australians. Wang Ci thought.

“…… Lu Jia said that if anyone learns to read and write in school, they should first learn these letters, and then they will learn all the letters, and then they will recognize words quickly.

"Ridiculous!" Wang Ci was furious and threw the book on the ground. I learned the fanzi first and then the Chinese characters, isn't it to change the summer with Yi?! This group of Australians still dares to claim to be Chinese people! A group of things that have forgotten their ancestors!

Lu Da didn't know why this old man Wang suddenly became angry, and threw the literacy textbook that his son solemnly handed over to him on the ground, so he hurriedly picked up the book and wiped it in a panic.

"Master Wang—"

"This book, you still don't let your children read it - wrong people's children, wrong people's children!" Wang Ci said impassionedly.

Lu Da looked at the Wang Jiaoyu with a slightly distorted face, and wondered if this old man was phlegm? How to start sick at the end of the day. He didn't dare to speak, so he was so submissive.

Wang Ci was generous and suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was a mud-legged and blind man, and he couldn't understand what he said to him about "misleading people's children", so he slowed down and said:

"You'd better call your two sons back to farm. I can't read it. ”

Lu Da looked at this "Master Wang" who had always been very respectful of him, in his opinion, Master Wang has always been a learned and amiable master. Now that he suddenly said this, he felt a great disgust in his heart.

Is there anything wrong with Australians teaching their children to read and not be blind? Food and clothing are all provided by Australians. Even the showmen in the county don't have this treatment.

He made a perfunctory hum a few times. Wang Ci knew that he was unwilling in his heart, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, but thinking that Lu Da was the tenant of Xuetian, and he would have to rely on him for many things in the future, he patiently said:

"The road is big! Everything in this book is wrong! He wanted to explain that the characters in this were vulgar characters, and the grammar and science were not very smooth, but it was really difficult to communicate with an illiterate person. I thought about it for a long time and didn't say why.

Lu Da listened impatiently and said, "Since it's all wrong, is Master Wang willing to teach the younger two sons the right knowledge?" ”

Wang Ci couldn't hear the irony, and couldn't help but change his complexion, and he secretly hated in his heart: "What a ghost!" "After thinking about it, I wanted money but no money, no one wanted people, and I couldn't even raise the anointing silver of a few talents. The other party not only teaches, but also is willing to provide food and clothing, in contrast, he is simply weak and incompetent to the extreme. I can't help but feel lost.

This common people want nothing more than worry-free food and clothing. The thief seized on this and deceived the people. He is full of wealth, even if the master is reincarnated, it will be in vain!

Thinking of this, I was extremely discouraged. Wang Ci reprimanded weakly: "What do you know! Go ahead! He dragged his steps to the county seat.

Lu Da looked at the distant figure of the Wang Sect Teaching, and couldn't help but spit into the ground: "The Lord who doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks!" Bullshit readers, all the books have been read in the dog's belly! ”

Lu Dacai didn't bother to care whether his son's learning was wrong or right, he only knew that his son was well-fed, warmly dressed, and understood a lot of things in the national school, and he was still teaching everyone to farm recently--is this knowledge fake? After reading a belly that no one can understand, the real moon self-dizziness is knowledge?

At this moment, Lu Da's past respect for the talents in the county school, the Wang Jiao, and all the scholars in the county all collapsed. He suddenly realized that this shijie is not just these sour people who wear long shirts and speak words that everyone can't understand, Australians have another kind of learning, which is more useful than them.

Wang Ci stumbled back to the county school, and the Lingao county school in this time and space was rebuilt on the site of the Song and Yuan county schools in the third year of Hongwu. Yongle was rebuilt in three years, and then it was repeatedly repaired, but a large-scale renovation of Zuihou has been a matter of eight years in Chenghua, and then the county school gradually declined.

Although it is declining, the old scale is still there. Coming in from the Lingxing Gate and passing through the Halberd Gate, it is Minglun Hall. On both sides are Shintokusai and Shuyesai, which are the classrooms of the prefectural school. There are many supporting buildings in the back, as well as a number room for exams. In terms of scale, it is also in the forefront of the entire Hainan Island.

The weaving of the county school is also very large, and there are six scholars in the service alone, two cooks, three menzi, and three guanku. However, this is only a rule in the classics, these errand servants belong to the silver difference, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the silver hired by the errand was levied from the errand household, but people did not necessarily use it. Therefore, in the dignified county school, there are only three existing servants left
