It took three days for Li Xiang to check the seventeen core workshops in Mingyuezhuang.

Today, Li Xiang came to the Zhuangmin literacy class, accompanied by Li Mengkong, Zhang Wanli, Zhao Bo, Liu Sheng and others.

In the era of Mingyuezhai, Li Xiang opened a literacy class for the villagers. After Zhao'an, the Zhaimin literacy class was changed to the Zhuangmin literacy class, and the scale was further expanded.

According to the rules, Johnson literacy classes are held outdoors in the evenings. However, due to the severe cold of winter and the expansion of the Mongolian School in the public middle school, the literacy class finally got two large houses and was no longer so embarrassed.

It is not appropriate to call it a literacy class, but it is better to call it a pinyin literacy class, because the literacy class only teaches Chinese pinyin, common punctuation marks, and ten Arabic numerals.

Li Xiang was outside the window, motioning to the middle-aged master who was serving in the literacy class to continue, and turned around to ask Zhang Wanli, who had been promoted and raised continuously, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think needs to be improved in the literacy class?" ”

Everyone looked at Zhang Wanli.

Several middle and middle-level officials showed unconvinced expressions: How long has it been since Zhang Wanli came to Mingyue Village, why is he so valued by the owner?

Zhang Wanli saluted, blinked his eyes, and then said unhurriedly: "Don't blame the owner." The subordinates thought that the literacy class was missing a lot of things and had to be overhauled, otherwise it would rather be closed. ”

Li Mengkong nodded and smiled, Zhao Bo swayed one arm silently, and Li Xiang was expressionless.

Liu Sheng was puzzled: The literacy class is running very well, there must be hundreds of blind people who have passed the exam, right? Zhang Wanli, this old man, won't be picking thorns and trying to be in the limelight, right?

Before Li Xiang could speak, a "Zhuang Min idol" jumped out.

The guy who jumped out was nearly thirty years old, with a round body and a wide head and a mellow voice, and it only took him half a year to pass the assessment of the literacy class and become a generation of Zhuangmin idols. Seeing Zhang Wanli, an outsider, questioning his "alma mater", the guy who was already dissatisfied with Zhang Wanli's repeated promotion finally couldn't help it, "It's just that, it's a big mistake!" ”

Li Xiang almost didn't laugh out loud, but a few of the accompanying public middle school personnel couldn't hold back.

The scene was a little awkward.

The middle-aged man with a round body and a wide head had a red face and red ears, and after the owner of the village continued to persuade him, he continued, but his voice was much quieter, "The Zhuang Min literacy class was set up by the owner of the village very early, and one hundred and ten people have passed the assessment, and there are more than three hundred blind Zhuang people who have studied in it. ”

"The number of places in Mengxue is limited, and villagers after the age of eighteen are not allowed to enter. Many people run workshops, do business, run caravans, and inevitably deal with people inside and outside the village, and how many can afford to hire the bookkeeper? The middle-aged man with a round body and a square head had tears in his eyes, and said in a dry voice: "You can learn some pinyin and numbers here in the literacy class, and as long as Zhuang Min is willing to work hard, he can talk to the workshop manager and the public middle school staff on an equal footing, and he is no longer looked down upon everywhere he goes, just like the old farmers outside." ”

"Wu Xiaoling was a widow, she learned things in a literacy class, and relying on the kindness of the public school, she is now a family of counts. In the next year of nearly 30, unwilling to live a lifetime without literacy, fortunately in the literacy class to learn pinyin, Meng Zhuang and Li Fuzi did not give up, and now has been in the public to do things. ”

The inspirational idol with a round body and a square head can no longer control his emotions, "You Zhang Wanli is a child, you can write well, and your poems come casually." Do you know the pain of wanting to be literate but not having a way? Do you know how hard it is to straighten up and talk to someone? It's only been a few days since you came to Mingyuezhuang, why do you say that our literacy class is not good?! ”

Li Xiang raised his eyebrows, this guy is interesting!

Li Mengkong and Zhao Bo were also unkind, and followed Li Xiang to hide in the corner to watch the play, and the two old men thought to themselves: If Zhang Wanli can't even solve this trouble, even if the owner of the village sees him wrong.

Liu Sheng, who was rough-hearted, had already been infected by several public middle school personnel, and together with Deng Yushun, who was angry, he glared at Zhang Wanli angrily.

Li Xiang was speechless and gave way to make some place, letting the two old men, Li Mengkong and Zhao Bo, be more relaxed, and asked with a pout: "What is the origin of the guy who angrily shouted Zhang Wanli, why hasn't the owner of this village heard of it?" ”

Zhao Bo took out a long list of public middle school personnel, with the details of each person, and Li Mengkong twitched when he saw it.

Zhao Bo is too old and has not passed the literacy class test so far, and many pinyin can't be recognized, so he had to hand over the list to Li Xiang. The strange place is here, although Zhao Bo can't read pinyin, he can find the column corresponding to each public middle school person.

Li Xiang followed Uncle Zhao's finger and saw a place, "Deng Yushun, Huo, this guy is twenty-eight years old, it's rare to ......"

Zhang Wanli knew that he had lost his words. He just wanted to show himself in front of the owner, but he didn't expect to jump out of a "defender". But he was not afraid.

Seeing Li Mengkong and Zhao Bo hiding in the corner and looking here, the old man Zhang Wanli scolded in his heart: Two old men who don't talk about morality, there are times when you are unlucky!

Zhang Wanli first sincerely apologized to Deng Yushun, made a long gesture, and then said unhurriedly: "The old man did not take into account the significance of the literacy class to Your Excellency, it is really rude, what I said just now offended." ”

After all, he is a long-term staff member, and Zhang Wanli's demeanor and actions are impeccable. Deng Yushun had no choice but to return the salute and accept his apology.

Zhang Wanli pointed to the literacy class and said, "But the old man came to Mingyuezhuang for a long time, and he thought he had seen a lot of things. The old man dares to ask, people who come out of the literacy class can read some pinyin? ”

Li Xiang nodded secretly, and said in his heart: The beginning is good......

Zhang Wanli continued, "The old man heard that several caravans in the village changed their faces when they left Mingyue Castle and exploited and killed the small people in Qinling Village. Even if a lot of people go back to the village, they are irritable and difficult to control, right? ”

Of course, Liu Sheng knew who Zhang Wanli was talking about, and the two most ferocious caravans depended on him for survival.

Deng Yushun couldn't refute Zhang Wanli's words, and he didn't dare to offend the people in the village, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

"The old man is in the public middle school, and he is mainly responsible for foreign transactions. The old man has seen some villagers, relying on his own ability to read some pinyin, relying on his own arithmetic, to deceive the outside merchants and even small people, resulting in damage to the reputation of the owner. himself, but he is still very proud. ”

Several public middle school officials were said to be in their hearts, and their faces were flushed, but they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Xiang.

In order to allow more villagers to understand the documents of the public high school, the public high school notice must be annotated with pinyin. However, some Zhuang people who can only read pinyin, on the grounds that pinyin saves time, effort and money, and encourages Gongzhong and Mengxue to give up the Chinese language passed down from their ancestors, is there any?! ”

The teacher of the literacy class stopped, stood at the door, and looked at the situation in the courtyard. Dozens of villagers who were fiddling with the sand table also put down their bamboo branches, stood up, and listened carefully to the sounds outside.

The wind was slightly cold, lifting up the hairs of many people.

Zhang Wanli looked around, offended, and slowed down his speech, "It is unkind to slaughter innocent mountain people with force." ”

"It is unjust to deceive the merchants and the people when you have wisdom."

"It is disloyal to receive the great favor of the owner, but to connect privately for his own selfishness."

"For selfishness, regardless of the thousands of years of inheritance of ancestors, it is for unfilial piety!"

The wind stopped, and Zhang Wanli's voice suddenly rose and spread far away, "Unkindness, injustice, disloyalty and filial piety." If this continues, Zhuang Min will come out of the literacy class and become a fierce beast that cannot be accumulated for thousands of years. ”

"Therefore, the old man thinks that the literacy class can only be closed unless the charter is overhauled!"

Amazing.

Li Mengkong couldn't wait to praise it, what a Zhang Wanli, he actually saw it so deeply!

Uncle Zhao felt that although there were some places that he couldn't understand, he felt very important.

Liu Sheng scratched his head, feeling that it was very inappropriate to stand with Deng Yushun, so he went over to find Uncle Zhao to squeeze in.

……

Yanjing City has changed dramatically.

After the hard work of tens of thousands of coolies and tens of thousands of Han people, the moat has been cleared, widened and reinforced. The battlements, horse faces and arrow towers on the city walls have been renovated, and the beaters, oil pans and rolling logs have been repaired.

The Youyun area has been developed for more than 1,000 years.

In order to prepare more charcoal and to create more obstacles for the Jurchens, Yeluming ordered all the woods and trees near the city to be cut down in all parts of the clouds. If you really can't cut it down, try to set it on fire, and it's best to burn it clean.

This is especially true near Yanjing.

Xiao Zhen reminded Ye Luming many times that he must transport all the things that can be eaten, burned, and drunk within a radius of dozens of miles to the inner city of Yanjing. The waterways near Yanjing were all sealed and filled with manure and diseased cattle and sheep; The wells were all destroyed, and poison was poured into them; The granaries in Tongzhou and Jinkou were all abandoned, and the remaining grain was all transported back to Yanjing, Shunzhou and Jizhou.

The troops and horses of the Jin State began to move five days ago, and Yeluming officially conveyed the order of the fortified wall Qingye.

Ninety percent of the Khitans north of Yanjing have entered county seats, state towns, and towns that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

To the south of Yanjing, many Han people cried and couldn't bear to leave their homes. Yelu Ming strictly ordered the Khitan army not to embarrass the Han people, as long as the Han people paid more food, they could go.

Xiao Zhen was finally able to get out of bed, but he could only wrap himself thickly and walk around the back house for a while.

Yelu Ming cleansed the dissident forces in the Youyun region, proclaimed himself the King of Yan, won over the Khitan nobles and Han officials, and controlled the real power of Youyun.

Yeluming actually set up his own door, and on the Xijing side, some court officials, especially Khitan officials whose interests were damaged, jumped to their feet, but they were helpless. You can't wait for the Jurchens to fight, and the Liao State will have a civil war first, right? Besides, it can't be fought, and there is Taihang Mountain in the middle.

As long as the several orifices of the towering Taihang are locked, Yelu Ming can defend calmly.

Ye Luming asked Xiao Zhen, "Xiao Zhen, why have you repeatedly reminded this king not to be embarrassed and refuse to retreat into the Han people in the city?" If those Han people were used by the Jurchens who were besieging the city, wouldn't it be troublesome? ”

Xiao Zhen didn't answer the rhetorical question, "Dare to ask the king, the people north of Yanjing have always been few and poor, but now they are strong and clear...... The Jurchen army wants to eat and women, what will it do? ”

Ye Luming only thought about it for a few breaths, then understood Xiao Zhen's strategy, and said secretly: It's so ruthless!

The Jurchen army came to the city, and there was no charcoal, no food, no drinking water, and no women, so they naturally had to run to the south to plunder. The Khitans had all withdrawn into the city, and the Jurchens could only oppress the Han and Bohai people.

Xiao Zhen's first intention.

Preserve the Khitans and strengthen their fighting spirit. Everywhere the Jurchens went, they always mourned all over the wilderness. When the Khitan people standing at the head of the city saw the tragic situation of the Han people outside the city, some people would be afraid, and some people would fight desperately.

The second intention.

In this year, Yeluming investigated the stolen officials and promoted the status of the Han people, and when the Jurchens arrived, they were massacred. Compared with the two, many Han people in large cities will resolutely resist. The human heart is so wonderful, I like to make comparisons.

The third intention.

The fortified walls north of Yanjing are very thorough, and many places don't even have clean water to drink, and the Jurchens can only stretch the front to the south, and the pressure on Yanjing is greatly reduced.

The fourth intent.

Since the Jurchens raised their armies, they slaughtered and enslaved the surrendered towns. The Han soldiers of the Liao State saw that their hometown was burned, their fathers and elders were tortured and killed, and their wives and children were humiliated. There has always been no shortage of warriors.

The fifth is the most poisonous.

If the Jurchens use innocent men, women, and the old and weak as cannon fodder, they will fall into Xiao Zhen's arms. The Han army at the head of the city moved against the Han people under the city, and the Han people in Youyun had a grudge against each other, and no Han force in Youyun could fight against the Liao State. At that time, the Youyun Han people will remain in a state of scattered sand for a long time, and can only follow Yeluming to fight against the Jurchens.

The sixth one is very coincidental.

Even if the Liao State was unable to return to the sky and had to move towards the grassland, or run away, if the Jurchens wanted to occupy Yanjing, they would have to leave enough troops in the Youyun region.

The Han people and Bohai people in Youyun are scattered, which has both advantages and disadvantages for the Jurchens, and the Jurchens are bound to leave a large army in order to successfully control the sixteen states of Youyun.

There is also the Great Zhou in the south, and the Jurchens should also be guarded against. The civil and military generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been thinking about recovering Youyun for more than a hundred years, and they will inevitably have a conflict with the Jurchens.

For various reasons, a large number of Jurchen elites were dragged down. There are fewer troops chasing Yeluming and Xiao Zhen, so Yeluming can take more people and run away.

Ye Luming sighed, "Xiao Zhen, although you are injured and have no chance to participate in the battlefield, you have made further progress in the way of strategy. In the so-called strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and this king has gained knowledge. ”
