Chapter 479: Pragmatic Education

After a few months away from the capital, now one left and one right and Zhang Shou walked side by side on the spacious avenue of Xuanwumen Street in the inner city, Zhang Chen was full of ambition, Zhu Er looked forward to it, but it didn't take long for the two of them to make the same move at the same time, that is, they turned around and looked at Ah Liu, who was following them unhurriedly.

As for the other guards, who are following suit...... So how can it be compared to Ah Liu, a strange but powerful kid?

"Ah Liu (Sixth Brother) won't be angry, right?"

After asking almost the same question at the same time again, Zhang Chen and Zhu Er immediately glared at each other. Zhu Er, who spoke first, sneered: "When you just kept saying that the sixth brother had a bad idea, you were very uplifting, but now you are afraid when you know it?" Hey, why don't you know a little more when you're showing off that you don't know anything? It seems that the sixth brother is lonely and unheard! ”

"You kid has one less bite and a sixth brother to pat on the back, who doesn't know that you are a set in front of you and a set behind your back?" If it weren't for not kicking Zhu Er's ass on horseback, Zhang Chen would have kicked it directly.

After scolding, he didn't bother to pay attention to Zhu Er, and went straight to catch up with Zhang Shou, who didn't look back and didn't answer, and said with some embarrassment, "I just want to follow your words, Mr. Xiao, and scare Cao Wu, I didn't want to mock Ah Liu." Cao Wu is exquisite, a martial artist has no backbone at all, not to mention compared to Ah Liu, as far as Zhu Er and I are concerned, these guards look more iron-clad than him. ”

Zhang Shou was almost amused by Zhang Chen's adjective, and immediately turned back to Ah Liu and said: "Ah Liu, did you hear it, Zhang Chen said you, and the little brothers of the Zhao State Mansion and the Qin State Mansion behind him are iron-clad!" ”

"My ears are so good." In order to prove this, Ah Liu also deliberately plucked out his ears, and then said lightly, "If Cao Wu knew, he would definitely say, how much is the iron bone worth?" ”

Zhang Chen was a little choked by Ah Liu's words, while Zhu Er laughed happily. At this time, Zhang Shoucai smiled and said: "In front of you, the eldest son of the Qin State, how do you want him to behave like him?" ”

"Pointing at your nose and scolding you? You are not a fool who harms the people. Show your skills and fight with your guards, knock everyone down, and show your skills? What brained person would do that? As for the fact that he didn't come when you had something to call him, he replied that I am not a slave of your Zhang family, are you sure you won't be angry at that time? ”

When Zhang Shou saw Zhang Chen's increasingly embarrassed appearance, he shrugged his shoulders: "The character of iron bones is suitable for warriors who face difficulties and persevere; It is suitable for the hard bones of being defeated and captured by a lone soldier and swearing to die; suitable for those who do not hesitate to offend the powerful and even the true ministers for the country and the people; It is suitable for those capable people who do not hesitate to break their bones in order to repay the grace of their encounters. ”

"It's not that there are no backbone people in the market, it's just that most of the time they don't show it, so of course you can't see it. For when they were required to show the iron bones hidden beneath their crooked backs, which they almost forgot about themselves, it was mostly a very dangerous time. ”

"Think about Xian Yunhe and them."

Thinking of the huge turmoil set off by Xian Yunhe's group of barefoot men in Cangzhou, Zhang Chen was speechless. And immediately after, he heard Ah Liu's voice behind him: "Also, I'm not angry." ”

When he saw Zhang Chen and Zhu Er looking back at him again, Ah Liu said very calmly: "I just think that Xiao Peanut is quite pitiful alone, so I can just make an idea for him, and forget it if I don't need it." ”

Random idea came up with this...... As a result, it actually collided with Cao Wu's intention to go to Beijing! Even Zhang Chen couldn't help but want to tear tears of sympathy for Cao Wu at this moment. And Zhu Er is not to mention, holding his stomach and laughing there and screaming ouch, if it wasn't on horseback, he would have to find something to beat down twice to show his schadenfreude.

"It's best if it's feasible, and it's impossible if it's not feasible. Ah Liu has always been so willful when he does things and speaks. ”

Zhang Shou took a sentence, and then suddenly coughed, and then looked at Zhang Chen and Zhu Er, who had been completely distracted from the beginning, and didn't even find out where this was: "The public school has arrived, aren't you curious about how I suddenly raised a group of literate typesetting workers?" So now, you can go and see how people teach their lessons! ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Zhang Chen and Zhu Er, Jiang Dashao, who was hanging far behind, but had always pricked up his ears to listen to the people in front of him, also felt a little curious, and after thinking about it, he decided to rush over cheekily, so as not to turn around and be stopped outside the gate of the public school. However, what he didn't expect was that he actually entered the gate of the public school smoothly!

Unlike Guozijian, there is not even a gatekeeper here, and it is completely a posture of entering and exiting casually.

Compared with the seemingly magnificent buildings of Guozijian, but in fact many places are in disrepair, many houses here can be seen to be built in a hurry, and even when everyone enters, they can see the scene of large-scale construction. As for the people who wander around here in twos and threes, there are a lot of them, and many of them are half-grown children in ordinary clothes.

It's just that the people who build the house hardly make any sound except for work, and most of the people who wander around and look around are very restrained from talking. Therefore, although it is not as quiet as Guozijian, it is not noisy.

Zhang Shou, who often came and went, led everyone to a classroom, and saw a young man standing in front of him with a beautiful posture and a delicate appearance.

The half-grown children below were rapidly copying the records, and some of those who couldn't keep up showed obvious bitterness, but they were still desperately memorizing while scratching their heads.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Shou explained in a low voice: "At first, I suggested that the pine slabs be painted black and then written on them with a special gypsum pen to teach students to count. However, the pine planks were still too small, and two or three boards were often not enough in a class, so Lu Saijiu came up with a good idea and changed it to a mixture of plaster, lime and pot smoke to paint the white walls black. ”

"In this way, one wall is probably enough for a lesson, and after the writing is completed, the students will take turns to clear it, which can be written a lot more than a pine plank, although it has to be repainted from time to time, but it is better than changing five or six pine planks in a class."

For the ancient teaching model that has been handed down from ancient times to the present, word of mouth, and now this relatively intuitive teaching board book, Zhang Chen and Zhu Er were amazed, and Zhang Shou shook his head as he said: "But this also has shortcomings, the pen used to write the board book is not very easy to use, so it is still improving, and there are also teachers who use sand table teaching and students watching the mode." ”

"In short, in this public school, it is about innovation, and all kinds of methods can be used. Because the students who take classes here are not people who want to go down to the field to make a name for themselves, and then become an official and glorify their ancestors, the students who go to school here are not to squeeze the single-plank bridge, but to learn a skill that they can do, to support their families, and to make their families live better. ”

Zhang Chen and Zhu Er went to Cangzhou once, and of course they would never ask why they didn't stick the white paper on the wall, and then write with an ink pen as a board book or something like that - because poor paper can't help writing like this, how much does good paper cost? Not to mention the ability to write smoothly. These things are always much more expensive than the materials used by Lu Wan to paint the walls of the public school sacrificial wine.

Although Zhang Shou used the form of running the Imperial Chef Selection Competition, all the proceeds were injected into the public school, but he couldn't afford to lose the family in a big way. After all, no one can afford the tuition fee, whether it is a farmer or a poor family in the market.

And Jiang Dashao, who followed behind, although he had not seen the life of a poor family at all, but seeing that the room was full of children in shabby clothes, although the young people who could teach were dressed plainly, he could clearly see a bit of elegance, and when he saw that Zhang Shou was going to take someone to the next classroom, he couldn't help but walk two steps quickly to get to the person.

"Dr. Zhang, the teacher who taught the class looks quite extraordinary, such a person should not be an ordinary person, right?"

"Oh, that's Xie Wanquan, the head of the preceding hall of the country. You may have heard of it, it is the one who cut off his robe and broke his righteousness with his teacher, Dr. Guozi, and broke the door. ”

Zhang Shou was dumbfounded when he saw Jiang Dashao, so he said with a smile: "Although many people in Shilin have a lot of criticism of him, there are also people who appreciate him for upholding the right path and not being afraid of power, so two days ago, Xiangyang Bo gave him his daughter, which can be regarded as a sensational story in the capital." ”

To be exact, that is the youngest daughter of the Xiangyang Bo family, the sister-in-law of Zhang Datou's mother. Thinking that Zhu Ying forgot to talk about it on his birthday, and when he talked about it with him the next day, he was almost dumbfounded.

Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing and Chu Guogong Zhang Rui are rivals, according to his imagination, Xiangyang Bo is the second brother of Chu Guogong, even if the girl from Xiangyang Bo's family really likes Xie Wanquan's "iron bones", this matter reaches the ears of Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong, this irascible nobleman will definitely beat the mandarin duck, and rush to Zhao Guogong's mansion to find Zhu Ying to settle accounts.

But the result was just the opposite, Zhu Ying, the big media, was so magically said!

And when he said the news in public at this time, it became someone else who was dumbfounded. Zhang Chen was quite familiar with the grumpy Xiangyang Uncle Zhang Qiong, and at this time he couldn't help but exclaim: "That Xiangyang Uncle who shouts loudly all day long? Is he willing to marry his daughter to Xie Wanquan? Oh my god, his big boy didn't say anything? ”

Zhu Er laughed directly: "What can Zhang Da Guy say?" Don't look at his big size, seeing his father is more afraid than a mouse seeing a cat, it's better for me to see my father! His father wants to marry his daughter, and he dares to stop him? ”

How far away is he hiding from Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong, otherwise if he is swept away by the big slap like a fan, he has nowhere to reason, because he has already experienced it once when he was a child as a result of crying to find his father, it must have been beaten by his father! Moreover, Zhang Qiong has never been soft on his excellent eldest brother Zhu Tingfang, and the eldest brother will no longer suffer losses when he is successful in martial arts.

However, his sister Zhu Ying is an exception. Even Zhang Rui, the Duke of Chu Guo, who was about to develop from a dispute to a move as soon as he met his father, could give Zhu Ying a smile, not to mention Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong.

Anyway, he would never believe that Lu Sanfat's father Lu Juan had this kind of matchmaking ability, and he didn't believe that Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong could have such a discerning eye to pick a son-in-law, this marriage must be his sister in the middle!

And Jiang Dashao asked the answer, but he couldn't help but feel envious in his heart. However, following Zhang Shou to visit a few classrooms, he found that in addition to the very basic thousand-character literacy, that is, the preliminary method of addition, subtraction and multiplication, he did not see any typesetters, and he gradually became a little confused, but soon, he heard a very loud voice.

"Yang Wen recognizes, you won't change Yin Wen? How many times have I said that the copying assigned to you is not allowed to write in yang script, but all in yin script, so that these things will be firmly engraved in your mind, and you can think of it as soon as you typeset. This is called efficiency, do you understand efficiency? ”

"Every word of Yin is engraved in your mind, and when you write, you will get used to it, and you can also work as a letterer in the future. Compared with carrying bags on the dock as a coolie, compared to building walls and building kang for people as laborers, compared to running a restaurant and restaurant as a buddy, lettering or typesetting, the wind does not blow the rain, and it does not need to work very hard, and the monthly salary starts at 2,500 Wen! ”

"An extremely skilled typesetter, or letterer, can earn 3,500 wen a month! However, once there are more people who have mastered the skills, it is not worth much. Being one step ahead, you're already ahead of a lot of people! ”

If it was those Confucian scholars who heard such utilitarian words at this moment, they would be furious nine times out of ten, and denounced such statements as simply blaspheming the school, but Jiang Dashao was born in a businessman, and what he said was originally pragmatic and not pragmatic, Zhang Chen and Zhu Er felt that these words were more convincing than those big truths, so the three of them nodded in unison.

"Do you know who this professor's teacher is?"

Seeing Jiang Dashao and Zhang Chen and Zhu Erqi shaking their heads together, Zhang Shou smiled and said: "It is an ordinary old man who grows vegetables in my Zhang Garden, however, he has been writing on the sand for many years, carving and carving on the winter melon and radish, both Yin and Yang are very good at writing, and he writes well in Lishu, even if he is not as smart and stylish as those calligraphers, but it is enough to use in printing books." ”

"It just so happened that Lu Xijiu told me that the old typesetter who taught these people suddenly fell seriously ill and couldn't do it, so I recommended him. Originally, he was just letting him try, but now it seems that his ability can not only be used to carve radishes and winter melons. ”

Just when Jiang Dashao was shocked that Zhang Shou's family was so hidden, he heard a hearty laugh. When he looked back, he saw a middle-aged man forty miles away, and then he heard Zhang Shou laughing and calling out for Lu Sacrifice wine.

After Lu Juan appeared, he glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "These students of the Yin Literature Class, although they are still far from leaving the school, but today, the book they participated in the engraving and typesetting for the first time has been printed, I don't know how it will be sold, can it make my fat boy who claims to lead the Beijing Bookstore anxious for a while." ”
