Li Xiao fulfilled his promise to the tenants, so the school in the east wing was crowded all at once, and the school opened with thirty-two students in the class.

The eldest is ten years old this year, and the youngest is five years old this year, except for Li Zhen, the class leader, who is a woman and the daughter of the head of the family, the other thirty-one students, all of whom are boys, and they are all sons of tenants of the Li family.

In a small room, everything is basic.

There were not so many desks, so the men in the village found some wood and directly hit a few wooden tables, the logs were pure wood color, with benches of the same logs.

Because paper and ink are expensive, there are no textbooks or pens for the children.

According to Yang Dayan's meaning, each student was given a sand table first, and then a bamboo pen, so that they could practice on the sand first.

Even the teacher Yang Dayan didn't dare to waste more paper and ink.

"This is the blackboard, this is chalk, the white chalk writes on the blackboard, and after writing, you can erase it with the blackboard and erase it again, and the blackboard can write repeatedly. Moreover, this blackboard tree is set up on the podium in front of it, so that the students can see it clearly when they sit in their seats. ”

Li Xiao asked Tie Zhu and the dog to come in with a blackboard.

A wooden board the size of a bed board is supported by two wooden frames on the left and right, and the front of the blackboard is also coated with a layer of black paint, with the chalk and blackboard eraser prepared by Li Xiao, which undoubtedly provides excellent convenience for Yang Dayan's teaching.

It was the first time Yang Dayan had seen such a thing, and Li Xiao smiled and picked up a piece of chalk to demonstrate. The chalk is hand-kneaded, relatively simple, and the shape is not very regular, but there is no problem with writing after drying.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate!"

Li Xiao pinched the chalk and wrote eight big characters on the blackboard. The quality of the chalk is average, and the blackboard is not good enough, but Li Xiao has a familiar feeling when he holds the chalk, at least it is much easier than writing calligraphy.

Eight large characters in Song style, very neat and beautiful.

Yang Dayan couldn't help frowning, it was the first time he found that Li Xiao could still write such a good hand, he knew that Li Xiao was literate and could settle accounts, but he always thought that Li Xiao had read some books as the son of a landlord before, and it was normal, but his level was definitely limited.

But this word, I have to be amazed, this kind of font he has never seen, similar to regular script, there are not the same, but it is very imposing, he doesn't know which calligraphy master's font this is, but Li Xiao does write very well.

There are also this blackboard and chalk words, Li Xiao showed them like this, and he found that they were indeed very practical, and the students could see them clearly below, and the blackboard could be used repeatedly.

Under the podium, the 32 students sat there respectfully, and when they came, their families basically explained that they must cherish this opportunity.

Even some rough parents just let it go, dare to be naughty, and break their dog's legs as long as the husband complains when the time comes.

Class leader Li Zhen is the only woman, and the only one with a foundation, she knows the words on the blackboard, but sitting here with a group of children still makes her a little embarrassed.

"Sanniang."

Li Xiao saw that his sister always lowered his head and directly called her name.

Sanniang squirmed in response.

"In the future, in this classroom, you have to abide by classroom discipline, for example, before class, the class leader has to stand up with the students and shout hello to the teacher, the teacher returns to the classmates, please sit down, everyone can sit down. For another example, if the teacher calls the name of a classmate, the classmate has to stand up and respond loudly. ”

"Also, you can't talk to each other in class, you can't make small movements, and you can't sleep. If there is something, you have to raise your hand first, and the teacher can only say it after the roll call. ”

Li Xiao mentioned a number of classroom rules in one breath, "Now Li Zhen will demonstrate with me." Li Zhen! ”

Li Zhen hurriedly stood up, "Here!" ”

"Well, Li Zhen, please read these eight words on the blackboard."

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate!" Li Zhen's voice was a little small.

"Be louder, loud, the students in the back can't hear it."

Li Zhen, a girl in her teens, was stared at by a group of children who were much smaller, and her face was so red that she blushed behind her ears.

She read it aloud again, and Li Xiao let her go and let her sit down.

"Just now your class leader Li Zhen knows these eight words, which is very good and has a certain foundation, but I believe that other students have heard this sentence for the first time, and now we will ask Teacher Yang to explain the origin and meaning of these eight words for us, which is also our first lesson at the beginning of school."

Yang Dayan was dressed in a long shirt, and stood next to him with a smile to listen to Li Xiao's lecture, he felt that Li Xiao was very set, and he set the rules first as soon as he came up, and let Li Zhen, the squad leader, speak, which was considered a prestige.

"Hello classmates, my name is Yang Jizu, and my nickname is Big Eyes. In the future, I will be your teacher, just now Saburo gave everyone a start, wrote eight words, these eight words stroke silver hook, the writing is very neat and very strong. What do these eight words mean, and where do they come from? ”

"These eight words come from the thousand-character text, and the thousand-character text was ······· during the Northern and Southern Dynasties." Yang Dayan is still very patient in lecturing, and he is kind to a group of Mengtong who have not yet opened their eyes.

The choice of a thousand-character text as an enlightened textbook can be regarded as a current practice. This book came from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the whole book is 1,000 words, and it uses 1,000 non-repetitive words in the works of the sage Wang Xizhi. And these 1,000 words are composed of rhymes, and the whole text is four-character sentences, neat, well-organized, and brilliantly written.

In particular, the thousand-character sentences are plain and easy to recite and remember, especially for those who have just started reading.

Being able to read and recite a thousand-character text by heart is considered to be a beginner, and if you can know and write the thousand-character text that is not repeated in a thousand words, it can be said that it is already a small achievement.

After explaining the ins and outs of the thousand-character text, Yang Dayan began to lead the students to read. His teaching method is very simple, and it is also the same as when he used to teach, and even when he read books himself, read first and then memorize, without seeking to understand, and only after memorizing a book can he begin to explain the meaning slowly.

It's a simple and crude approach, but it's also effective. Li Xiao originally felt that he should teach a few sentences every day, and then teach new characters and strokes to write at the same time, but in the end he decided not to interfere with Lao Yang's way.

Seeing a group of children shaking their heads and following Yang Dayan to chant the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth and the Flood of the Universe, Li Xiao smiled and walked out of the classroom with his hands behind his back.

A group of immature boys behind him, maybe he will be a strong talent of the Li family one day.

The sound of reading in the classroom floated far away, and many people in the Li family's compound stood there and listened, as if to their ears, the sound of reading was so good.
