Based on a certain psychology, Li Shi saw Fan Jin now, and he was still shouting Fan Xiucai, sometimes he really wanted to ask Fan Jin: "Do you have a neighbor named Wu Jingzi, and you owe him a lot of silver?" ”

He, a layman in history, only knows some military weapons or something as a military fan, and in terms of literature and history, except for some impressive things, everything else is completely mushy. Wu Jingzi's birth date, he had no impression at all, he didn't know that he was from Anhui and had lived in Jinling for a long time, and he was only 11 years old at this time......

Li Xi didn't ask after all, even if Fan Jin was Fan Jin, it would mean nothing to him, after all, he was already in 1712.

Staring at Fan Xiucai's fingers, Li Xian's brows furrowed: "Xiucai, you still don't use chalk?" ”

Speaking of this, Fan Xiucai was sour and funny: "It's not easy to use, it's not good to use, it's good not to use it." ”

Li Xi only hummed, although the chalk is small, the change is big, Fan Xiucai resisted this new thing, he had expected it.

Chalk is not very technical, the raw material is gypsum, raw gypsum is a medicinal material, and cooked gypsum is used to make tofu. Buying raw gypsum in a pharmacy is already a high price for two or three pennies a catty. Buy raw gypsum and burn mature gypsum, put it into the wooden mold made by He Carpenter, add clay melt water and stir, and then dry it. Although the quality cannot be compared with the industrial products of later generations, it can leave clear handwriting on the blackboard and is effective. And the blackboard is just a wooden board coated with a layer of black and gray paint, a standard copycat.

Fan Xiucai's boycott of the chalk blackboard is not only for the habit of writing, but also insulting to the reader, and more importantly, with the existing "teaching method", this set of things is useless.

"Come on, Xiucai, see how I use it."

Greeting Fan Jin, Li Xi wanted to give him a demonstration lesson.

In this cottage of Mengxue, two of the three thatched huts were used as classrooms, and the other was Fan Xiucai's residence. In the classroom, there were more than a dozen long benches produced by He Carpenter, and two or three students sat on a bench, each holding a five-penny inferior version of the "Three Character Classic", a small blackboard, and a rag to wipe the wooden board, and the situation was extremely shabby.

Although pen, ink, paper, and inkstone cost money, Li Shi couldn't afford to buy it if he wanted to find a way, but he was determined to let them use it.

The ancients did not have a systematic "pedagogy", only the gentleman's rites and disciple rules that have been passed down from generation to generation. The teaching method of Mengxue is that Mr. takes the disciple to read, and then the disciple shakes his head and recites, and Mr. explains word by word, and then questions and answers to solve doubts. When the disciple becomes a gentleman, just copy the gentleman's set.

And in this classroom right now, this set of teachings is in big trouble. Mr. Meng Xueli only taught one or twenty students at most, and usually less than ten, but there were forty in this litter. If Xiniudu Academy is a public toilet at the capital airport, then Li Xian's Mengxue is a public toilet at the county bus station, no wonder Fan Xiucai looked depressed. What's even more uncomfortable is that this litter is of all sizes, the small one is six or seven years old, and the big one is fourteen or fifteen years old, and the rotten wood is difficult to carve. didn't have to rely on this salary to eat, Fan Jin estimated that he would have fled that day.

Seeing that Li Shi and Fan Xiucai entered the classroom, Jia Gouzi shouted at Wu Shi and drove the children in, they were already over the standard, but Li Shi did not let them go, and even a few other orphans of similar age in the mine were encircled. As for their mining work, Li Shi gave up a piece of furnace silver and distributed it to them, plus subsidized some of their own rations, so that they only needed to complete half of their daily classes to basically ensure food and clothing.

Originally, Li Shi still wanted to let more young people in the village study full-time, but for these few orphans, he had to fight all his income to become semi-full-time......

Everyone in the classroom was gathered, and they heard a mixed shout: "Mr. is so ......" Seeing that Li Shi was still distracted, Fan Jin hummed weakly and waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

"Wait!"

Li Xi came back to his senses, and then he saw the scene in the classroom clearly, the students were slumped and crooked their necks one by one, standing or not standing, sitting or sitting, and said in their hearts that this was not an opportunity to change?

"Jia Gouzi, Wu Shishi, out of the ranks!"

Subconsciously, Li Shi used an officer's tone and let the two teenagers stand in front of the classroom.

"How can Mr. Greeting be so sloppy!? No matter how much I read, I don't know if it's still a waste! You learn from me, look carefully! ”

Li Xian said in a deep voice, then straightened his waist and chest, put his legs together, put his hands on the sides of his legs, and shouted loudly towards Fan Jin: "Sir...... Good! When the last word "good" came out, his head had been folded ninety degrees with his upper body, and he made a standard bow.

"Ah......h No ......

Fan Jin was startled, and before he could react, Li Xi was just using him as a model.

"Whether it's action or shouting, there can be no mistakes, you guys!"

Li Shi didn't bother to explain to him, beckoned Jia Gouzi and Wu Shishi, and came again after learning his own appearance.

"It's not loud enough!"

"Legs together, stand up straight!"

"Push your head down!"

"Have you nailed an iron plate to your waist! Downwards! ”

"Sir, you are allowed to raise your head and straighten your waist when you answer!"

The classroom kept echoing with Li Shi's scolding, he first let Jia Gouzi and Wu Shizuo get in place, and then let them supervise the older boys, and then it was the turn of the younger ones, in short, each kid bowed at least ten times, and looked like a little before letting them go. Fan Jin was busy at first replying "good ......", and only later did he gradually sober up, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed. This Li Xian is right, knowing etiquette is more important than reading, as a showman, he doesn't even pay attention to this, and he has to be reminded by others, it's really embarrassing.

"Sir taught you to read and write, he is your great benefactor, once he is a teacher, and he is a father for life! You should be so respectful to your father as you are to your husband! ”

Li Xi continued to train the students, and when he heard this "once he is a teacher, he will be a father for life", Fan Jin's eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed silently, and his heart was stumbling, this Li Xi was so respectful of the teacher! Scholars know that "Heaven and Earth Jun is the teacher", and the teacher is just the last one, directly placing the master and the father, and even the meaning of transcendence, he Fan Jin heard it for the first time [1].

Fan Jin's heart was high, and most of his thoughts about just coping with errands were scattered. Although the conditions for learning are poor, I should be able to use it and teach a few good students, which is also a beautiful thing.

"You should know the etiquette when you greet and send off the gentleman, and when the gentleman is there, you must also know the etiquette when you stand and sit!"

Then Li Shi's rectification went deeper, and when he was standing, his legs were slightly open, his chest was straightened, his head was raised and his shoulders were heavy, and his hands were close to his legs. When sitting, the chest and waist still can't be relaxed, the hands are flat on the legs, and the head is raised and the head is straight ahead. Fan Jin thought about this for a while, and he didn't remember which book said it. He naturally didn't know that Li Xi was completely copying the military etiquette of later generations.

The forty children in Mengxue are of different ages and mixed compositions, including coolie orphans in the mines, and ignorant children with both parents in the village, and Li Xian has not thought of cultivating them in the direction of soldiers. But to condense them into one through military salutes, it is a trivial matter to do easily, and then if you really want to start the military, you will have the preparation at the moment, and you will not dig a pit on the spot.

"No fighting, no talking to each other, no looking around!"

"What the gentleman says is right, and you are not allowed to argue with the gentleman!"

"When the gentleman gives an account, he must say, 'Yes, sir!' ”

"You have to raise your hand and say, 'Report sir!' Shh ”

"Here? Bastard! Who dares to boo and sit here! I smoke it with my classmates on the bench! ”

Li Shi's breathless exhalation shocked Fan Jin a little dizzy, but after seeing the rectification, the students were all waiting for orders and paying full attention, and the original chaos of the entire classroom was also cleaned, and his heart was a pang in his heart, and he felt that he couldn't be too casual.

"This is indeed a good gift......

Fan Jin nodded slightly, and when he was straightening his chest, Li Xi picked up the ring ruler on his seat and handed it to Jia Gouzi.

"Jia Gouzi and Wu Shishi, you take turns to be the senior of discipline and discipline, and if Mr. says to fight, you will fight."

Li Xi then looked at Fan Jin.

"Fan Xiucai, whoever doesn't be polite, you just open your mouth, if it's Jia Gouzi and Wu Shishi, you can fight it yourself."

This is to pull out Jia Gouzi and Wu Shi and help Fan Jin manage the students, Fan Jin is naturally happy. Student No. 40, if he were to correct the etiquette alone, he would not have time to teach.

The students returned to their original positions, and Li Xi gave an order to meet Mr. again. The boys shouted hello at the top of their voices, and the grass hut shook into dust, and forty people bowed at the same time, although not very neat, but also looked solemn. Fan Jin was shocked to a big jump in his heart, he only felt that there was a faint strange power, which was converging and forming in this dilapidated grass house.

"Is this a gentleman's salute or a marshal'......s salute?"

Fan Jin thought in a daze, and the words "all generals are exempt" swirled in his mind.

[1: "One is a teacher, a father for life" There are many sources for this saying, and the earliest record that can be found now is the "Taigong Family Teaching" written by the Tang people under the name of Jiang Taigong. This saying has been circulated among the people, including "Journey to the West" and other novels, but it has not entered the elegant hall of Confucian classics, and serious teachers will not say this. One reason is that it is too vulgar, and the other reason is that I am afraid of messing up the three outlines and five constants, if it is just a dead house immersed in study, most of them will not hear this. 】
