After a nap in the afternoon, Yan Suxin yawned and sat up. The hairpin is messy, leaning on the square pillow, and the moving posture is full of laziness.

The air in the room was moist and watery, Yan Suxin pulled the scattered green silk and asked, "It just rained?" ”

"It's just rained, and it's raining a lot, and it's gone in a blink of an eye."

As she spoke, the little maid pulled up half of the bamboo curtain hanging in front of the window, and then Yan Suxin saw a slender Xiangfei bamboo outside the window.

The summer sun shines through the slender blades and sprinkles on the bamboo branches, and the drops of water on the branches shine like jewels. Under the obscured light, the purple and black dyed by the blood and tears of Empress E's daughters were intertwined with the mottled shadows of the trees, like a drop of thick ink falling on the paper of Chengxintang, and they were completely fainted.

The shower that had just ended cooled the wind blowing in through the doors and windows, and the unbearable heat dissipated.

Xiangzhou belongs to Jingxi Road, but it is the climate of the south. Yan Suxin, who has always been in the northwest, is not used to living.

She had heard Han Gang say that in the past, Xiangzhou belonged to the category of Jingzhou, and even the core of Jingzhou, but now it belongs to the west of Beijing, and it is the gateway to the Central Plains from Jingxiang and even Lingnan. My husband has been running around these days just to make the passage behind the portal smoother.

Yan Suxin sat down in front of the dresser and asked the personal maid to help her comb her hair. In the newly polished bronze mirror in his hand, it is a flower-like jade face that is in the most gorgeous moment. Slender fingers caressed the mirror, from the eyes as deep as a pool, to the straight bridge of the nose, and then, it was still a little blurry.

A few days ago, her husband also made a mercury mirror with great difficulty. The silver is shiny, and it is indeed delicately illuminated, but the mirror will be given to * in a few days, and it will not be useful again. Wang Yi laughed and said that the mercury mirror is just a commodity, expensive and useless. But their husband said that if they had a transparent plate glass to protect it, they could smash the bronze mirror.

I've never heard of flat glass, but I don't know when it will be made. If it were like the iron ship he wanted to build, if it took ten or twenty years of work, it would be a joke again. Everyone in the world says that Han Longtu is a man of his word, but in Yan Suxin's heart, he often doesn't say anything.

Originally, when I went out, I said that I would be able to come back in ten days and half a month at most, but now three and ten days have passed, but there is no one to see.

"Wrongdoer, why haven't you come back!" Yan Suxin muttered.

The little maid who was braiding her hair in a bun for Yan Suxin stopped, "Mother, what are you talking about?" ”

“…… It's nothing. Yan Suxin blushed and put down the bronze mirror.

The summer afternoon transfer made the backyard of the public house quiet, and the sound of reading could be heard from the window. It was the Mengxue located in the West Courtyard, and the children of the Han family, who were in the top three, were already studying. One and a half hours in the morning, one hour in the afternoon, after three quarters of an hour and one class, you can rest for a quarter of an hour, and the course and progress are arranged by Han Gang.

Yan Su knew that Han Gang had always taken it to heart when it came to children's enlightenment. It is not only to see one's own children, but to look at the world, saying that it is to educate all the people and set an example for the world.

It is very simple to educate the people, even Yan Suxin knows the Tao, so that more people can read and write, and understand the righteousness of Confucianism. But many people can't answer how to do it, but Han Gang gave an answer, an answer similar to that of a businessman, which is to reduce the cost of learning and make more people able to afford to read.

However, reducing costs does not mean shoddy manufacturing. Accurate textbooks and teachers of sufficient quality. At least ensure these two things, so as not to turn 'depressed and civil' into 'all equal'.

The shoddy books sold outside, coupled with the mediocre teachers who can't even read sentences, are naturally misleading. And after mistaking people's children, it is difficult to even correct them, otherwise there would not be 'all equal to me, and the students will be full of students. It's so gloomy that the students don't come'.

It is not easy to reduce the cost of printing books in terms of ensuring quality, and Han Gang has no way for a while. But he still found a way to reduce the cost of writing, as well as a way to improve the efficiency of lecturing - this is what Yan Suxin personally heard Han Gang say, and when he said this, Han Gang was full of confidence.

When carpenters make utensils, they always have to mark the lines on the wood, and from ancient times to the present, they have used twine ink fountains to play the ink lines. However, Han Gang came up with charcoal, a charcoal strip made of clay and graphite, which can make a clear mark on the wood. The small charcoal core like a jujube core is inserted into a thin bamboo tube, which can be used as a pen. Craftsmen are easy to use, even ordinary scholars do not need to carry a full set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone when they go out, only pen and paper.

There is also a black wooden board for the gentleman instead of paper, and chalk sintered chalk is used to write on the blackboard hanging on the wall, so that each student can be taught more clearly and clearly, rather than simply dictating and letting the disciples record it. Blackboard chalk, Yan Suxin has seen the finished product a long time ago, but now it has been integrated as a part of strengthening Mongolian education.

Yan Suxin didn't have Han Gang's idea of looking at the world, but if she could teach her own children, the Han family would be stable in the future, and she would be at ease.

Facing the mirror, carefully arranging his makeup, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then Yan Suxin listened to a voice shouting, "Long Tu is back, Long Tu is back." ”

Hearing the report that his family rushed over, Yan Suxin hastily painted the makeup in two or two, and hurriedly came out. Wang Yi, Zhou Nan and Yun Niang soon arrived in the hall with their front and back feet, and the sound of reading in Mengxue also stopped.

The whole family was waiting for the head of the family, but it took more than half an hour for Han Gang to return to the house from the front office.

After a few months, Han Gang lost a little weight and darkened a little.

Maybe it's really because of hard work, in Yan Suxin's memory, the complexion on her husband's face always can't get rid of the tanned tan. Han Gang is not Wang Xianggong's natural swarthyness, if he can be pampered, he can also be as white as an ordinary scholar, this point, Yan Suxin can be sure as a pillow person. It's a pity that I'm running outside from all over the world, and I don't even have time to raise it.

It's back, and my heart is still on business. Yan Suxin looked at Han Gang holding a piece of paper densely covered with small characters in his hand, and glanced at him from time to time as he spoke.

"Official, what's that?" The first to be unhappy was Wang Yi.

"It's the "Three Character Classic" that has just been compiled." Han Gang raised his hand, "It's the hard work of Shao Yanming [Shao Qing] and Tian Chengbo [Tian Zhen]. ”

The wives and concubines in the family all knew what their husbands wanted to do and what they were doing now, and when they heard the "Three Character Classic", they were all surprised: "It's all made up?!" ”

Han Gang shook his head and looked at the words on the paper: "You still have to change it, you have to be a little more simple." This is a Mongolian book, not a note or a biography, there is no need to explain, mention a few words, it is enough to know that there is such a thing as the Dao. To put it deeply, it is difficult for children to comprehend...... It's been changed three times, and this problem still hasn't been corrected. ”

"Take your time, don't rush." Zhou Nan persuaded, "Just reading the "Thousand Character Text" and "Rabbit Garden Book", didn't you also win the Jinshi, official?" ”

"This matter can't be rushed." Han Gang smiled, but let people put the manuscript away.

Usually in private schools, they are enlightened for their children, and they don't all pick up the "Thousand Character Text" to read, pick up the "Analects" and memorize it, and there are also more simple and suitable books, such as "The Rabbit Garden Book" and other books, but they are too superficial and are looked down upon by scholars.

However, the lost Mongolian books left by the Han and Jin dynasties were lost, and no one used them, so the "Thousand Character Text" was used a lot, and the "Urgent Chapter" used from the Western Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty is now rare.

"Hundred Family Names" and "Enlightenment Training" were compiled by the people of the time, and they were not widely circulated, but Han Gang also collected them.

Of course, he collected Mongolian textbooks not for his children, but to compile a Mongolian book that had not yet appeared in this era - "Three Character Classic".

Han Gang has already prepared the first draft of the textbook for arithmetic. Basically, it is the level of elementary school mathematics, and mathematical symbols such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as the draft codes used by the people to mark goods, are standardized and formalized, and put them into textbooks.

The textbook of physical geography, Han Gang is writing it himself, and the text is as simple as possible, but it takes some time to write it to integrate the principle of Gewu into it, but most of the chapters have already been written.

As for the textbook of social science, it is actually the "Rabbit Garden Book", which is despised by scholars - it is the answer compiled by the son of Tang Taizong, Jiang Wang Li Han's subordinate Zuo Du Sixian, imitating the questions of the effect test subjects and quoting the scriptures and history. It has more practical effects than the scriptures. The famous prime minister of the Five Dynasties, the tumbler Feng Dao, is even often read as a reference for governing the country.

But in addition to this, there is also a need for a syllabus that instills the essentials of Qi science in the children of Mengxue. So Han Gang also needs a copy of the "Three Character Classic".

The article "Three Character Classic" seems to be simple, but it is the vanguard of Confucianism and Taoism. For example, in the first paragraph of the opening article, at the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and their habits are far away. It is the essence of Mencius, once it spreads, Xun Qing's line will naturally become non-mainstream.

As for the length of the follow-up article, Han Gang can't remember it - I think there are many of these Mengxue articles from later generations that can't be used - but the collection of nature, history, discipline, characters, and some common knowledge of the world in the text, mixed with the essence of Qi Learning, is not to remember the Three Character Sutra, and it is also to know in what direction the Tao should be compiled.

Han Gang handed over the job to his staff. They are basically Qi disciples, and the leaders Shao Qing and Tian Zhen have followed Zhang Zai for many years. After hearing Han Gang's explanation, it is necessary to integrate the views of Taixu is qi, the unity of heaven and man, and the harmony of people and things, as well as the principles of learning from things, learning must be holy, applying to the world, and practicing and practicing, all of which are integrated into the books of Mengxue, so that the study of qi can be passed on to the world, and it is natural for everyone to do their best. After only a month of work, I had the first draft. But the problem is that it is too profound, and it has been changed again and again, and it still can't satisfy Han Gang.

Mongolian textbooks are meant to be indoctrinated, not understood. If you don't understand this, the "Three Character Classic" is not so easy to compile well.
