"Thank you for the word!" Han Fei hurriedly bowed to Du Yun and thanked him.

Hearing this, he praised and said: "The word 'upright' is good, Han Xiaoyou deserves these two words!" ”

"Mr. Wenren has won the award!" Han Fei said busily.

"With your conduct, it's not an exaggeration at all!" Wen Renwang said with a smile: "Little friend, I just saw people from your mansion, holding that white object, writing on the black wooden board, very interesting, I don't know what is written?" ”

"Mr. Wenren, that's chalk, Xiao Ke thinks that in the classroom, while demonstrating and explaining, it is more effective, if it is too wasteful to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so I thought of this idea. The main raw material of chalk is gypsum, which is inexpensive, and the words written on the blackboard can be wiped off, which is very suitable for lectures. ”

"This is a big initiative, I have been teaching for many years, and I deeply feel the importance of presentation, but as you said, the cost of paper is too high, and with this chalk blackboard, you can greatly improve the teaching effect! Xiaoyou, how to sell this chalk, I want to buy a batch. ”

"Mr. Wenren, this chalk was fired by the Han family themselves, Xiao Ke turned around and ordered someone to send it to Yinlu regularly, and don't mention the money again!"

"This ......"

Du Yun said with a smile: "Brother Wenren, this is a little bit of uprightness, you don't have to shirk!" ”

"Well, thank you for the decay!"

Wen Renwang hesitated, and then said: "Little friend, those strange-shaped characters written on the blackboard by the people in the house, the old man guessed that it should be words, but I have never seen it, I don't know what kind of words it is?" ”

This sentence was actually what Du Yun wanted to ask, and he also looked at Han Fei suspiciously.

Han Fei got up and took out a few books from the bookshelf, handed them to Wen Renwang and Du Yun respectively, and said, "Mr. Wen Ren, teacher, what are the differences between these books?" ”

The few books that Han Fei pulled out were the common Four Books and Five Classics, and the two of them were very familiar with each other, and they turned the pages of the book suspiciously, only to find that they were very different, and there was a line of strange characters on the original text. They were all very knowledgeable people, and they soon discovered that the characters were very regular, but they couldn't understand what they were.

"Shouzheng, that's what these characters mean?"

"Mr. Wenren, teacher, this is pinyin......"

"Pinyin? What is Pinyin? Wen Renwang and Du Yunhe asked in surprise in unison through this term.

Han Fei didn't answer directly, but picked up a book and said: "Mr. Wenren, teacher, I believe you also feel that there are certain rules for the reading of these words, and I use specific symbols to represent these rules, and the combination of various symbols, plus tone, becomes the pronunciation of each word!" I let those people learn pinyin first, so these books, even if they are not taught, they can read the words in the book according to pinyin, which is conducive to self-learning! ”

Wen Renwang and Du Yun immediately realized how important this pinyin is to popular education, as long as they learn pinyin, it is no longer so difficult to learn words.

"Shouzheng, how to pronounce this pinyin?"

Han Fei took out a scroll from the bookshelf again, with pinyin letters and pictures on it, which was equivalent to the illustrations of the kindergarten in later generations. Then, he explained the pronunciation and combination rules of each pinyin letter several times.

Wen Renwang and Du Yun knew pinyin well, and looked at the books in their hands, and felt the wonder of pinyin more and more, and their excitement was like discovering a big gold mine.

At this time, Du Yun saw that behind each sentence in the book, there were some symbols of different shapes, and couldn't help asking: "Shouzheng, what do these symbols mean?" ”

"Teacher, these classic works, because of their age, are often easy to cause ambiguity, especially for beginners, breaking sentences is a difficult thing, the disciples came up with these punctuation marks, and broke the Chinese sentences in advance, so as to avoid misunderstandings caused by unclear sentences!"

Du Yun flipped through the book again, and sighed sincerely: "This pinyin and punctuation marks will surely be passed down through the ages, keep upright, and you will also become a generation of grandmasters!" ”

"The teacher has won the award, and the disciple doesn't dare to have this idea!"

"Shouzheng, your master is not exaggerating, this pinyin and punctuation have too great a role in promoting culture and education, and its merits do not let the sages!"

Hearing the admiration of the people, he said: "Shouzheng, why don't you publish pinyin and punctuation marks in the people's declaration, and promote them in Shilin earlier?" ”

"Mr. Wenren, Xiao Ke has scruples!" Han Fei said: "Pinyin and punctuation play a big role in promoting education, but many people in Shilin have become accustomed to the original model, especially some old Confucians, who are even more interested in reading sentences, and there will inevitably be a lot of resistance to this, and they will even be crowned with a crime of deleting and altering the classics of sages!" ”

Wen Renwang and Du Yun both knew that what Han Fei said was the truth, but they were a little unwilling to promote pinyin and punctuation earlier.

"Shouzheng, do you have any plans for this?"

On the one hand, the people reported the role of pinyin and punctuation in the form of anecdotes, and changed some of the layouts to phonetic and punctuation, so that people could gradually adapt to pinyin and punctuation; On the other hand, I intend to promote new teaching methods among the private sector. ”

Du Yun said: "This method is feasible, with the strong influence of the people's declaration, the role of pinyin and punctuation, it will soon be accepted by Shilin, how to carry out the promotion and teaching method you said?" ”

"Teacher, the disciple was born in poverty, and he knew that the poor children wanted to study, but they could only hope for extravagance, and the disciple had some achievements in this way, and he could not forget the fundamentals. Therefore, the disciples planned to donate money to run the school, recruit poor children for free, and adopt a new teaching method in the school. ”

"This is a meritorious thing, if you have the ability, you must stick to it!"

"The disciple respectfully follows the teachings of the teacher, and also asks the teacher to choose a name for the school!"

"Well, poor children are like birds in the thatched cottage, in order to motivate them to study hard, let's name it 'Honghu Hall'!"

"The finch should also have the ambition of a bird, a good name!" Hearing this, people looked at their heads and praised.

At this time, Ling'er walked in from outside the study with a few books in her hand, and said to Han Fei: "Young Master, the printing workshop has printed "Kindergarten Qionglin", please review it!" ”

"Put it on your desk!" Han Fei nodded and said.

Wen Renwang and Du Yun had never heard of the book "Kindergarten Qionglin", so one of them took a copy and read it, and was immediately attracted by the content of the book.

"Shouzheng, which great sage wrote this book?"

Han Fei hesitated for a moment and said: "This is made up by the disciple, the disciple considered that it is difficult for beginners to understand advanced knowledge, so he compiled this easy-to-understand book to facilitate their literacy!" The disciples prepared to use this book as a teaching material in the early days of Honghu Hall! ”

Wen Renwang suddenly laughed, and said to Du Yun: "Brother Du Xian, the old man is very envious now, you have accepted a high apprentice!" Blue is better than blue, Han Shouzheng's achievements will definitely surpass you in the future! ”
