Chapter 738: Scholars Have Versatile Uses (Part II)

There are not many people in the village, and even fewer need to write letters, and no one comes for three days in a row, and there is only a piece of bacon left in the house, which is fried today, and there will be no food tomorrow.

"Alas, I didn't expect my Tang Xingzhi to get mixed up to this point!"

Originally, it would not have been so embarrassing, but the Han eunuch was simply ghostly, and the twenty masters of the East Factory were divided into four classes, staring at the Tang family every day.

In addition, there are not necessarily many people from Xu Jie, who are looking for Tang Yi's fault and are ready to make a big fuss. Tang Yi didn't live in the city, he was afraid that his protΓ©gΓ©s, disciples of Xinxue, and business partners, everyone came to see him, making it more lively in the field than in the court.

Jiajing is jealous of himself, Xu Jie has bad intentions, Yang Bo is also calculated by himself, in the face of a group of demons who are eyeing him, unless there is a major matter, Tang Yi will not easily contact his subordinates.

And although his property is so large that he can't count it, it's all under the table. Outsiders are just looking at the flowers in the fog, and they don't know the details, otherwise they wouldn't have buckled the name of the first family in the southeast on Xu Jie's head, and when it comes to wealth, ten Xu Jie's bundles together can't fight Tang Yi.

It's just that Tang Yi made a big effort, and when he was an official in Beijing, he dealt with everything that could be put on the noodles, Changwen Paper Shop, Zhu Ji Furniture, and Fengzhou Liquor, and even the hundreds of acres of land in Taicang were used to dismiss his subordinates.

There is nothing in his name, and the money suddenly pops up, and people with ulterior motives will definitely seize it.

It's a trivial matter of raising a family, so let's do it yourself. can be a second-grade Shangshu, command thousands of troops, and can't even earn some food money, it doesn't make sense!

After thinking about it, Tang Yi took the initiative to find the lieutenant chief.

In the chief's house, there are three adobe houses, which are quite clean, and there are chickens, ducks, geese and dogs in the yard.

He opened his mouth to greet him, but he didn't know what to call him, looking embarrassed.

"My surname is Tang, just call me Xiao Tang."

"Let's call Mr. Tang." The lieutenant rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "You have something to do?" ”

"It's a little something.,I want to ask.,Is there a private school in ten miles and eight towns?"

The chief thought for a moment and shook his head, "Originally, there was one, but Mr. Private School died of illness two years ago, and there was no more." What are you doing in a private school? ”

"Hehe, I've read a few books here, and I don't have any income at the moment, I want to set up a school, collect some restraints, and fill the family, but I'm just asking the chief for help!" Tang Yi said frankly.

"Oh." The lieutenant nodded, "It's a good thing to study, but the villagers are not rich, and they don't have much money in their hands!" ”

"It doesn't matter, let the big guy look at it, you can give as much as you want." Tang Yi said with a smile.

Seeing that the lieutenant was still a little hesitant, Tang Yi couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that you don't worry about your knowledge?" ”

"How dare you!"

The lieutenant hurriedly waved his hand, "Mr. Tang, you wrote to them, I saw them all, I don't know calligraphy, but I feel comfortable looking at it, you are this!" The lieutenant stretched out a thumbs up, "I'll go to every house and tell you that whoever wants to study tomorrow will go to your house." ”

"I'm tired."

Tang Yi came back from the chief, and the first house of the family was occupied by two people, one was used as a study, one was used as a kitchen, one was a bath room, and half of it was given to the little donkey.

There were still two rooms left near the west, Tang Yi cleaned them up, and the writing table was moved in, which was his lectern, as for the students, he followed the method of the Gongyuan, using bricks to build more than a foot high, with a wooden board on it, and another wooden board under the buttocks, the top was a table, and the bottom was a stool.

After silently calculating, almost able to sit down more than 20 children, Tang Yi called Ping'an over again, and specially let his son try it, which is good!

Because it's ugly, it's simple, after thinking about it, Tang Yi moved another stove and put it in the middle of the house, so you can't freeze people.

Everything was done, Tang Yi touched Ping'an's little head and said with a smile: "Not bad, right?" Tomorrow you will come to class too, how about Dad teach you to read? ”

"Hmm." Ping An nodded happily, "Dad, let Pingfan come to class too?" ”

"Ordinary is not yet two years old, is it early?"

"It's not early, it's not early at all, Aunt Liuying taught me that it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, anyway, he has to follow Aunt Liuying to read and write, it's better to take classes together, how fun!"

"Seems to make sense! Okay, but you have to take good care of your brother! ”

"Hmm!"

Ping An nodded vigorously, and as soon as he turned around, the little thing ran away, and after about a quarter of an hour, he came back out of breath, holding a wooden plank more than two feet long and more than an inch thick in his arms, and placed it on the lectern in a daze. Worried that his father didn't understand, he found a brush and wrote two words on the board: Ring ruler!

……

The next day, Tang Ping'an got up early, changed into clean clothes, ignored the ordinariness of getting up with a face full of anger, and got dressed.

"Hehe, second brother, I went to school today, if you are disobedient and dare to cry, such a long board will hit your hands, and the little fat hands will become steamed buns."

Ping'an couldn't wait, pulled the second brother, and entered the classroom, there was no child, only the father, who was holding a small axe, and cut the ring ruler he had worked so hard to find into small wooden strips, and threw it into the stove, turning it into a raging flame.

Tang Yi lowered his head and ordered: "Ping'an, go and move some wood again, the house is warmer, and your hands and feet are frozen, it's not a joke." ”

Ping An pouted, his heart was broken, and he could only obediently go to find wood, leaving only ordinary people leaning on his father's arms, hehe smiled.

The grandfather sat in the school hall one by one, and sat until it was almost noon, when there was movement outside, the chief with his head, followed by seven or eight parents, some with a child, and with two, the younger one was seven or eight years old, the older one was eleven or twelve years old, and there were a few safe playmates.

But Tang Yi's face is not very good, it only adds up to twelve or thirteen children, there are almost a hundred and ten households in the village, there are five or six children, or even a dozen, and the world is full of bear children, why did they come here?

Eighty-adult families still don't believe in their own abilities!

Tang Yi didn't say much, so he could only hug his fists at the big guy, "You trust Tang and send the child here, I will do my best and never mistake people's children." ”

The parents looked at the school, it was not bad, it was warm and warm, and the teachers were also kind, and they were very happy. The lieutenant beckoned to the big guy and put the bundle down.

Some sent a few catties of meat, some sent two chickens, and some brought half a bag of millet, and of course there were also those who sent money, and collected more than 800 coppers.

Dinner was over, Tang Yi shook his spirits and began to teach the bear children.

Tang Yi never thought that there were bad students in this world, some were just bad teachers, who used a ruler to force children to listen to classes, they were incapable people.

On the first day of class, Tang Yi took out a pair of chess pieces and put them in front of the children. Tang Yi has experienced the tail of the era of scarcity, take an iron ring, can push it out for more than ten miles, the children of the Ming Dynasty are even worse than later generations, chess is definitely a high-end toy, almost all children have never seen it.

Tang Yi had no choice but to call for peace, the two of them fought two sets in the middle of a group of children, and the eyes of the other children were shining, and their little fists were clenched, and they couldn't wait to get off the court and try their skills immediately. Yesterday, Tang Yi also made a blackboard and used clods of soil as a pen to explain to the children what each chess piece reads, how to write, and what is the use.

One by one, the children craned their necks and listened with their ears pricked up, for fear of missing a word, and I have to say that the attraction of the game is powerful.

One afternoon, the children memorized the rules clearly, and several smart babies could even write words such as "car" and "horse" crookedly.

In the three days before and after, there was a baby named Monkey, dragging two tubes of snot to clear his nose, and he was able to make peace with him, and he could write more than a dozen words, and even learned the name.

It seems that the Tang Education Method is still very strong.

Tang Yi thought of it, and in a blink of an eye, the school was on the tenth day, and this day was the same as usual, the Tang family had eaten the rebellion and arrived at the school, but the children were more than half less, only monkeys, and two or three small ones, and the others were gone.

"What's going on, where are all the people?"

The monkey lowered his head, pursed his mouth, tears rolled in his eyes, and Tang Yi was curious to approach.

"Are there any grievances? Talk to the teacher. Tang Yi noticed that he was trying to shrink one hand into his sleeve, reached out and grabbed his wrist, and pulled the monkey's hand out.

I saw that there were a few big blisters in the middle of the little black hand, which were bigger than when Tang Yi and Mud were left a few days ago, no wonder he was in tears!

"You tell the teacher, what the hell is going on, did someone beat you?"

The monkey shook his head.

"Did you accidentally hurt you?"

The monkey still shook his head.

At this time, a little fat man spoke boldly, "He burned it himself." ”

When the monkey heard this, he shook his head and turned his head suddenly, so frightened that the little fat man hurriedly lowered his head.

Tang Yi took a breath, "Monkey, the teacher doesn't tell you the great truth of your parents, but as a person, you have to cherish yourself and tell the truth, if you don't hide it from the teacher, the school can't keep you." ”

The monkey's little face turned pale with fright, "Sir, don't drive me away, I, I, I'm going to stay, I'm going to study!" His eyes were fixed on the blisters on his palms, and tears and snot rolled down together.

Tang Yi sat side by side with him and patted him on the shoulder with his hand.

"Tell the teacher about anything, the teacher is very capable!" Tang Yi said in a gentle voice

The little fat man didn't know when, but he came out again, "Sir, the monkey asked him to weave a mat at home, and he burned his hands with charcoal." ”

The monkey couldn't hold back any longer, crying not to mention how sad it was, "Sir, my mother said, it's useless to read, it's going to be the New Year, the family wants to weave mats, sell money to buy New Year's goods, but I, I don't want to weave mats, I want to read!" ”

The little guy almost roared and said it.

What a good child, Tang Yi sighed and smiled: "How can reading be useless, even if you want to weave mats, people who read are better than those who don't read!" Do you want to surprise the family with the teacher? (To be continued.) )
