At noon the next day, after giving a half-day lesson to the four apprentices, Du Shen gave them a piece of chalk and asked them to copy the Chinese Pinyin alphabet on the blackboard, while he squatted at the door of the private school, looking at the villagers who came and went.

Ahem......

He wasn't looking at people in person, he was thinking about the quill.

As we all know, the quill was invented in the West, compared with the brush, it has a great advantage, the writing is smooth, the lines are not as thick as the brush, and it is not as tiring as the brush.

And the quill pen is simple to make, find a big goose to pluck the feathers, choose a thicker goose feather, and then use a knife to sharpen a pen tip, hollow out the goose feather tube, and you can use it with simple processing.

It's a good helper for homework......

While thinking, Du Shen began to think, who raises geese in the village?

But before he could think of it, an uninvited guest approached him.

The man had a Chinese face, looked like he was in his thirties, dressed in coarse cloth civilian clothes, and was followed by two strong men who were also wearing them.

The person who came was none other than Emperor Zhu Youzhu of Hongzhi.

The early court discussed the details of the canonization of the seventh son of Dayan Khan, the little prince of Tatar, as the marquis, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, the Hongzhi Emperor couldn't wait to change into civilian clothes, under the guise of a private visit to Weifu, all the way to Dujia Village.

Of course, after all, it is the current saint, his safety is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty, although he only brought three military guards, but the entire Dujia Village has actually been surrounded by a number of royal forest guards, as long as there is any rumor, it will pour into Dujia Village to ensure the safety of Emperor Hongzhi.

"But Mr. Du Shen now?"

Emperor Hongzhi came from a rough background, and he was a person who had really suffered hardships, and after he changed into his clothes, the whole person also looked more gentle.

"Yes, Your Excellency is here for me, right?"

Du Shen sat on the threshold of the private school, looked up at the visitor suspiciously, and couldn't help but show a strange look after seeing the two strong men following behind him.

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly stunned, and said with a dumb smile: "How did Mr. know?" ”

Tut......

It's also loaded.

Du Shen stood up, patted his buttocks, and said, "You look very kind, although you are dressed simply, you can see at a glance that you are either rich or expensive, and a character like you came to my private school, which is not a bird, and you know my name, must have come for me." ”

"How do you tell?" Emperor Hongzhi was surprised, he asked himself that the micro-service private interview was in place, and it was not the first micro-service private visit in so many years, and no one saw it in the past, how could he be seen through at a glance when he arrived at Du Shen?

If it weren't for Du Shen's attitude, it was obvious that his identity had not been discovered, and Emperor Hongzhi would have wondered if someone had revealed his whereabouts.

Du Shen looked at the two people behind Emperor Hongzhi, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Look, the two people behind you and you have a characteristic that you are wearing, that is, they are very clean, although this dress is also the dress of ordinary people, but are the clothes of ordinary people so clean?" ”

As he spoke, Du Shen pointed to himself, "See, I'm just dressed as an ordinary person." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled: "Just because of this? So you can see that? ”

Du Shen said with a smile: "Just now, I could only watch seven or eight percent, but now you say ......."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, shook his head with a smile, and didn't expect to be put on the table.

If he didn't say a word, I'm afraid this Du Shen wouldn't be sure, but he was also a wonderful person.

Thinking in this way, Emperor Hongzhi's first image of Du Shen was even better.

"Yes, as you said, I am indeed either rich or expensive, and I am indeed here for you today."

Saying that, Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment and saved his thoughts about the school examination.

"I heard that Mr. has a thing called the Chinese Pinyin Alphabet, which can teach illiterate people to read and write, I wonder what Mr. thinks of this thing?"

What's that?

It's been a long time, but I'm not here to apprentice!

Originally, Du Shen thought that the other party had the same purpose as Zhao Jin and others, and wanted his son to apprentice, but he didn't expect that he actually came to ask about the Chinese pinyin alphabet, and he was suddenly bored.

The so-called talking about money hurts feelings......

Bah......

The so-called teacher reaches the world, but he Du Shen is a people's teacher with noble character, and he has no interest in teaching except teaching.

What the?

You don't bring your son with you?

Sorry, goodbye!

Du Shen arched his hands and said: "I'm sorry, this is a secret that my Du family does not pass on, please forgive me for not giving any comment, farewell, and do not send it." ”

After speaking, Du Shen turned around and crossed the threshold into the courtyard, leaving only Emperor Hongzhi with a back.

Emperor Hongji was stunned.

This talent, it doesn't seem to have a good temper?

I was smiling just now, why did I change my face in a blink of an eye......

"Wait, sir, please stay ......"

Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly followed into the courtyard, and the two military guards behind him did not dare to slack off, and also followed.

Du Shen turned his head and said with a cold face: "What else is the matter with Your Excellency?" If you want to eat, please take a detour, my food is very expensive. ”

Nowadays, he has a hard waist, the eldest apprentice Zhang Hao is the only son of the British Duke, the second apprentice Zhao Xiu is the second son of Xin Chengbo, the third apprentice is the youngest son of the Duke of Wei, and even the fourth apprentice is the grandson of the old man of Dujia Village.

Emperor Hongzhi had never received this kind of treatment, but thinking that Du Shen didn't know his identity, he was not angry, so he could only say softly: "Sir, don't misunderstand, I just want to know how Mr. thinks about this secret that is not passed on, and there is nothing else to do." ”

Oh?

Du Shen looked at this person in surprise, and thought about it, since the other party knew the Chinese pinyin alphabet, he must have learned it from Zhang Mao and others, and he should also be a person with a bit of identity, if the attitude is too much, it doesn't seem to be good.

Thinking about it, Du Shen's face softened slightly, and he said seriously: "This thing, if you want to tell me what I think, I can only say that this is a person who can teach people to read, and it is best to spread it all over the world, so that everyone can learn the Chinese pinyin alphabet, so that there will be no illiteracy in the whole world." ”

This is from the heart, and it is also the voice of a teacher, not mixed with any selfish thoughts.

But obviously, Emperor Hongzhi was not satisfied, and his brows were furrowed.

After learning about this object last night, he ordered that it should not fall into the hands of barbarian thieves, but the person who gave this thing wanted to let people all over the world learn it, isn't this contrary to his philosophy?

"Nonsense!"

Emperor Hongzhi snorted dissatisfiedly, and said: "This thing is the important weapon of the country, and it is used for great good, but the opposite is unknown, except for the Ming Dynasty, how can it fake the hands of others?" ”

Du Shen raised his eyebrows, yo, young man, I can't see that you are still a good man with a heart for the Ming Dynasty......

It's a pity, you don't know, my favorite thing in Du Shen's life is to raise the bar with you, if you don't doubt life, I won't be surnamed Du!

Shaking his head disdainfully, Du Shen let out a chuckle and said, "Hehe...... Philistine ......"
