Chapter 8 Changes in Teaching Materials
On the first day of school for the Boy Scouts, the two Zhu Houwei brothers also arrived at Zhu's Mansion as soon as possible after school.
When they arrived at the Zhu Mansion, the Boy Scouts also greeted the two young masters as usual, although the class was over, but the three gentlemen had not left yet, waiting to meet the two young masters. After Steward Dou let the Boy Scouts leave, the three gentlemen stepped forward and bowed their hands, "I have seen the two young masters" and "The three gentlemen are exempt, these gentlemen in the house have bothered a lot." Zhu Houzhao said, "Does anyone not study seriously?" He was embarrassed to say that he was the least serious about himself. Dong Liang replied, "It's that no one is not careful" After all, in these years, reading and literacy are still relatively advanced, and ordinary people and poor people are not qualified to learn, so the boy scouts work hard.
Zhu Houwei took out a stack of papers from his waist, handed it to the eldest Dong Liang, and said, "Everyone, can it help them recognize words?" Dong Liang took it and looked at it, then handed it to the other two, and after a while, the three of them looked at each other and said, "Second young master, the student doesn't understand this character." "It's okay, I'll explain it to you. Brother, go play football first, I'll come to you later," Zhu Houwei turned his head to Zhu Houzhao and said. Zhu Houzhao also glanced at it a few times, and when he didn't feel interested, he said, "Okay, I'll go first," and then walked to the court with the men's team.
"Three gentlemen, please." Zhu Houwei stretched out his right hand and pointed to the main hall. "Please" The three of them walked with Zhu Houwei. When they arrived at the main hall, the four of them sat down, and then, Zhu Houwei said, "These, I call him pinyin, this reading I think, there are these letters composed of pinyin basically covers the pronunciation of commonly used Chinese characters, with this, and then those words on the pinyin, then even if you don't know the word, you can read the word, so as to learn this word." ”
After the three of them listened, Dong Liang and Li Guang were still digesting what he had just heard, but Bai Shizhong seemed to be a little excited, "Who did this, the merit is immeasurable, wonderful, wonderful" The three of them all dealt with words, but Bai Shizhong was the fastest responder. "Hehe, this is what I slowly thought of when I was reading, but I'm not sure if it's effective." Zhu Houwei's face was modest. At this time, Dong Liang and Li Guang also understood how much this pinyin had a role in the enlightenment of students, but the eyes of the three of them looking at Zhu Houwei were a little complicated. seemed to be a little skeptical of Zhu Houwei's words, but seeing that Zhu Houwei didn't seem to be joking, he immediately felt that this second young master was a monster.
Why didn't Zhu Houwei show it to Master Yang first, he wanted to see if he could get past these three and find confidence, if he couldn't fool them, then he would definitely not be able to get through Master Yang. Whoever let him be born in the palace, unlike other crossing pig's feet, can generally be said to have met an unknown old way, or it was taught by an old beggar, he has been in this place for the past few years, and he basically knows who Hongzhi has seen, so he can't use this excuse. When I dreamed of it, I said that I met a fairy in my dream, a general in Jinjia or something, and then said to Zhu Houwei, "Young man, I see that your bones are strange, and I will pass this on to you, and Daming will rely on you in the future, and it will be free." Although in this era, there are still many people who believe in ghosts and gods, but as a second prince, the emperor also dreamed, the prince didn't dream it, just you dreamed, do you want to be the emperor in the future, not the eldest son, you can't inherit it, and Zhu Houzhao, as the crown prince, didn't do anything to harm the country and the people, it can't be abolished, then you can only rebel. In the past, the Yellow Turban Uprising, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising were also made through the chatter of the gods, you are very similar. Zhu Houwei doesn't want to be the emperor, he just wants to be a carefree prince, so this excuse doesn't work, so what should I do? can only come up with it himself, hoping that others will only treat him as a prodigy, not a demon.
"This method is feasible, and in the future, students will follow this method." Bai Shizhong expressed his position. Then Dong Liang and Li Guang also nodded in the same direction.
Then Zhu Houwei said gracefully, "Also, the words on the book are all vertical, it is difficult to distinguish the words and pauses, I prepare the future book to use a horizontal arrangement, supplemented by punctuation marks to make it more convenient for students to learn." As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Liang said impatiently, "No, this book has been handed down from the sage for two thousand years, and it has not changed, how can it modify the way of the sage." The tone of his voice became higher and higher, his gray beard was a little cocked, and his mouth was full of spit.
Zhu Houwei looked at the other two, and Li Guang also showed a look of disagreement in his eyes, but he didn't open his mouth to object, as if he wanted to hear what reason this monster-like second young master had. Bai Shizhong didn't speak, just frowning and thinking about something. Zhu Houwei said: "The way of Confucius and Mencius is not immutable, at least it was written on bamboo in the Qin and Han dynasties, so it was written vertically, and now it has become printed on paper, which can naturally be arranged horizontally, and if the unknown teacher teaches, students may make a mistake in their lives because of the wrong sentence, sometimes a row is not finished, but in order to separate only another line, horizontal rows can also save paper, the most important thing is that the article itself has not been changed, do not add a word or subtract a word." "No, no" Although Dong Liang couldn't say any reason, he just didn't agree, Li Guang was hesitating, but Bai Shi looked at Zhu Houwei with glowing eyes. Zhu Houwei had already stood up and walked to the three-person seat when he was explaining. Zhu Houwei didn't care about Dong Liang, took out a few pieces of paper from the other waist side, and began to explain what the punctuation marks on it meant and how to use them. Finally, there is an essay from the Analects, which serves as a model to illustrate the practicality of horizontal layout supplemented by punctuation. Although Dong Liang refused to use it, he still listened quietly.
After the explanation, Bai Shizhong stood up: "The students went back to re-prepare the teaching materials and said goodbye." He lowered his head slightly at Zhu Houwei, and as soon as he arched his hand, the person walked out. Li Guang also walked out after giving a salute to Bai Shizhong, but he didn't speak, and it seemed that he was relatively taciturn. Dong Liang thought for a while, stood and said to Zhu Houwei, "The student is only a shallow learner, I'm afraid I can't be this gentleman, and please ask the second young master to invite another master." Zhu Houwei just smiled when he heard this, "Sir, let's go." He came from later generations and fully understood the words "choice is a two-way street", and would not think that Dong Liang would leave without giving him face. Moreover, he also saw a trace of respect in the eyes of these three people, after all, an 8-year-old child who can't read for a few years, but he can think of these methods that are of great help to learning, they themselves have been studying since childhood, and now they are just Xiao following the rules, what does Mr. teach students, so there is a trace of respect, but it is difficult for literati to put down their children and say words of admiration to an 8-year-old child.
After the three of them left, Zhu Houwei also fell silent, feeling that it was too difficult to do something in this era, Chinese culture has a long history, and all sides have already formed bright or dark rules, and there are too many obstacles to face if you want to break through these rules and regulations.
In the past 40 years, he has lived a dull life, and he has not done anything big, whether it is a career or a family, he is not very successful, in this life, the starting point is very high, compared with most people, he has won at the starting line, if this life is still in order, if he doesn't do something, it is estimated that he will go to the coffin with the regrets of two lives. So he set his own goal, to do something meaningful in this life, for the benefit of the country and the people, and the history books of later generations will also record that Zhu Houwei did something in such and such a year, of course, it is best to let the history books of the world record him, as long as you study the history of this century, you can't get around him.
So he began to take in these orphans, and it was very difficult to transform the thinking of an adult, much more difficult than that of a minor, and in the words of later generations, their formation of stable three views. Zhu Houwei also wanted to know if he could transform Zhu Houzhao by the way, and in the future, there would be support from these boy scouts below, and there would be support from this brother above, to identify friends and enemies, and to unite all the forces that could be united, so that the idea in his heart could be realized.
Why did the famous "Wang Anshi Reform" fail in history, many of the decrees he proposed were very good, although this touched the interests of the big landlords and scholars, but this was not the main reason for his failure, but there were not so many people to support him and implement the decrees he issued. After all, no matter how good your policy is, in the end, it is up to people to implement it.
The current Boy Scouts are his future helpers, and as his numbers continue to increase, so will his influence in various fields, so that he will have the capital to fight his enemies.
Although "Hongzhi Zhongxing" is a relatively good era, it does not prove that he has no problems, on the contrary, some problems will become bigger and bigger under the glamorous coat of "Hongzhi Zhongxing", and finally grow into a tumor, as recorded in the original history, to take the life of the Ming Dynasty, the land of China has been in unison since then, and it will not be revitalized until the enemy hits the door. It is the duty of a person who comes from the Hereafter to avoid such a situation.
Zhu Houwei calmed down and said to the guards outside the door, "Go and tell Liu Jin, and then let him find a gentleman who knows how to be flexible, and when he arrives in this mansion, he must follow the rules of the mansion." "Yes, the little one will go right away." With that, he walked briskly outside.
Zhu Houwei walked out of the main hall, and saw his happy sister who was playing with other girls, her little face was blushing and she was playing, and the depressed mood just now slowly calmed down, standing in the outer circle and watching her sister play with relish, and said to the one closest to him, "What's your name?" The girl was startled, turned her head and saw the smiling Zhu Houwei, and suddenly replied a little stiffly, and a little hesitantly, "Slave Li Chunhua." Zhu Houwei continued to ask softly, "Where are you from, how old are you, and how did you come here?" Li Chunhua's eyes began to redden, and there was a hint of crying in her voice, "The slave maid was originally from Li Jiagou next to Yulin Wei, Shanxi, 12 years old, this year the Tartar rushed to the village, the slave's father and mother and 2 younger brothers were killed by the Tartar, and the slave and the little girl went up the mountain to pick the fruit and escaped, and there were no relatives, so they had to pick some fruits, and Xiaomei went all the way to Datong, but the big towns did not accept the fleeing people, and the slave and Xiaomei wanted to sell themselves as slaves and no one was willing to ask for them, so they had to continue to beg all the way, and slowly walked to the capital, Thanks to the kindness of the two young masters, we have been contained here. After listening to this, Zhu Houwei sighed slightly, "Alas, study hard in the future and do things according to the rules of the house." "Yes, the slave will be attentive."
It's all women here, and Zhu Houwei, an 8-year-old man, doesn't have a long time to stay, so he walked towards the court, looked for Zhu Houzhao, and by the way, he also played football and exercised, after all, his body still needs to be exercised.
