Chapter 174: (2-in-1 Chapter)

Chang An said with a smile, "Dad, you shouldn't back down!" However, if you don't want to do this, you can fool your eldest brother-in-law! The eldest brother-in-law is absolutely willing to do it, and he is willing to dedicate his life to it. ”

Fang Mingyuan knocked on his son's head, "Go and be busy with your business, I'll go talk to Xiao Cai." ”

"Let's go together! Dad, don't forget, most of the textbooks of Fenggu Elementary School are the framework I came up with, and then in your name, let the eldest brother-in-law formulate a detailed lesson plan. Chang'an immediately emphasized his contribution to Fenggu Primary School.

Fang Mingyuan's heart was empty, the framework of the teaching materials was written by his son, and the formulation of the lesson plan was his son's participation in the whole process. After writing it, he took it home for a walk, and there were many of them that he didn't even flip through.

"Let's go, let's go talk to Xiao Cai."

In the study room outside the front yard, Cai Kun is sorting out the books he copied back today, planning to copy them several times to avoid loss and damage.

"Xiao Cai!"

Cai Kun got up to greet him, and after the salute, he trotted to carry a copper kettle to fetch water, ready to boil water to make tea.

Chang'an ran to stop Cai Kun, "I'll come here for this, my father has something important to discuss with my eldest brother-in-law." ”

Fang Mingyuan coughed dryly twice, and said the excuse that he had come all the way to talk to his son.

"Xiao Cai! Do you think our primary school is different? ”

Cai Kun looked at Fang Mingyuan in confusion, different? What's the difference? He was enlightened by the old boy when he was a child, and it was a one-to-one teaching model. Later, his mother and brother pushed a cart of grain and brought bacon and celery to find him an old talent, and the learning mode was still one-on-one. Later, the husband was gone, and he had to teach himself.

"What's wrong? Fenggu Primary School has a large number of students, but if you don't teach like this, how can you take care of the enlightenment of dozens of students? ”

Fang Mingyuan nodded, this is also their uniqueness, there are few teachers and too many students.

"I mean the way of teaching. Every time we teach a word, we tell students what it means and explain the usage in detail. This is something that other schools don't have. ”

Cai Kun said, "That's true, when Kun was enlightened, Mr. read the article once, I followed the retelling, and memorized the full text, Mr. gave a sentence by sentence interpretation, and did not explain word by word. ”

"Zhongkun, do you see the benefits of teaching like this?" Zhong Kun is Cai Kun's character, he took the Zhong character as the second in the family, as for the Kun character is after the examination of Xiucai, Zhang Zhu in order to show that he is educated, he forced Kunlun's Kun character to become the Kun character of Qiankun.

Of course, Cai Kun knew the benefits of explaining the meaning of each word in detail, and then talked eloquently and listed many teaching summaries.

Fang Mingyuan nodded with a smile when he heard this, very good, when you see Scholar Liu tomorrow, you have to remember to say it again!

"Hmmm! You're right, but there's one thing, we're teaching right? Fang Mingyuan pressed down with both hands and stopped Cai Kun's words, "Now we are in the Hanlin Academy, surrounded by outstanding talents who are the best and most refined.

If there is Hanlin annotating the meaning of the words and printing it into a book, will it help more readers? Hehe, of course, there are reference books in our school, and children can't remember the paraphrases, so they can look through the books to find them, and they don't have to chase the teacher anymore. ”

Cai Kun lowered his head and thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a great thing, and looked at Fang Mingyuan with a red face, "Fourth uncle, this is a good deed that benefits students all over the world!" ”

Fang Mingyuan smiled modestly, "No, no, we are all laymen, but for better teaching, please criticize and point out the deficiencies in teaching." ”

Cai Kun was a little confused, it was obviously a good thing, and it could shock the world if he did it, why did the fourth uncle say this?

Chang'an put the tea in his father's hand and said, "Father means that this matter still needs to be led by a scholar, my father and eldest brother-in-law have just entered the officialdom, and many things are not easy to come out." ”

"Yes, Zhongkun! You have to remember, learn to seek advice with an open mind, and remember that credit cannot be monopolized at any time, the gun shoots the first bird, and the sedan chair carries people, hello and me! ”

Cai Kun stood up and said, "The younger generation has been taught." ”

"Huh! Sit down, sit down, we still have a lot to discuss. Fang Mingyuan got up with a smile and stretched out his hand to help.

Watching Cai Kun sit down, he sat down again and said, "Just now I chatted with Chang'an, there are more than 95,000 words in the world, and the book of Shuowen counts more than 9,500 words, Zhong Kun, have you ever thought that if you want to annotate all the words, you may not be able to do it in your lifetime." ”

"More than 95,000 words?" Cai Kunmu recounted in a daze.

Chang'an said, "Brother-in-law, I said that there is only a dismantling of the glyphs in the text, and the meaning and pronunciation of the words are carefully marked, and in the primary school textbooks, the second grade learns more than 2,000 words, and the third grade can write articles with more than 2,000 words learned." So, in fact, there should only be more than 2,000 words that we commonly use. ”

Fang Mingyuan continued, "This is easy to do, we just need to take out the lesson plans for the first and second grades, ask the colleagues of the Hanlin Academy to correct them, and first compile a teaching tool book of more than 2,000 words, and the rest of the words can be taken slowly." ”

Chang An smiled, "It's difficult!" Have you ever thought about how to define the pronunciation of a word? When teaching the word sparrow, Mr. Wang read it skillfully, he said that the sparrow is the family qiao (finch), as well as the word radish divination, the arithmetic teacher read the basket shell when teaching, the pronunciation of the local dialect in the Hanlin Academy, how to determine which is correct? ”

Chang'an said that the house finch realized that he was wrong, the finch character is a polyphonic word, as if there is no such statement here. This matter was discussed at school before, and the villagers insisted that what they said was right, and that they were speaking official language.

Chang'an's grandparents in modern times are from the Northeast, and they are very brainwashable when they speak. Dong Xiaoying is a native of Hebei, and their small county town is close to Henan, so she speaks with a bit of Henan flavor.

Grandpa came to Hebei to work when he was young, and he never changed the Northeast flavor in his life, not to mention grandma, she has the ability to speak Northeast dialect with all the people around her.

Besides, grandma is from Henan, and grandpa is from Hebei, so their family is very magical. Obviously born and raised in the county, there are many people who say that their brothers and sisters are outsiders.

Here, the accent can't be changed, but no one cares about their accent. They all understand what the people in the village say, probably because Henan dialect is very close to Mandarin!

The official dialect here actually has a Henan accent, is it correct to use the current official dialect phonetic?

Cai Kun has always had a headache with phonetic questions, one word, the school teacher can say three different tones, which has caused a certain difficulty for them to teach spelling and writing poetry.

The fourth uncle is right, the problems they encountered in teaching can be solved in the Hanlin Academy.

"I'll come over tomorrow with a lesson plan, and there are a lot of teaching questions, and I really need to ask my colleagues for advice."

Fang Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction, "Zhongkun, we don't even understand a primary school, how to be a county parent?" Don't think too much, we don't have the ability to do big things, first teach the school and students to understand, and we will be successful! ”

Chang'an looked at his father with admiration, you really speak at the level of Hanlin, it's too easy to understand. It can be seen that the grandparents taught their father to speak back then, and they didn't bring a word of Hebei dialect.

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Fang Mingyuan glared at his son.

Chang'an whispered, "Dad, back then, grandpa and grandma taught you to speak, all with a Northeast accent!" ”

"! Lao Tzu speaks pure Hebei dialect! ”

Chang An smiled and said, "You and my mother are slowly arguing about this." ”

Early the next morning, Fang Yue took Ji Ran to reconcile with his brother. Kang Rongping arrived early and had already begun to count the account books of the Kang family's shop.

"Grandma Hu is also here, and Grandma said to let me go to the garden to paint embroidery patterns, you guys take your time, I'll go first!" Fang Yue brought refreshments to Sister Ran, and happily went to play with the two grandmothers.

Ji Ran got up with a smile, watched Fang Yue run out, sat down and opened the account book, and began to sum up the amount of grain purchased by the Kang family and her shop.

Chang'an is counting the restaurants that have cooperated with Fangjia chicken essence powder, and the approximate number of grain purchases in Jiangnan, which is not easy to go, and can only be counted through the number of wharves and grain transportation teams.

"My family's grain shop in Jiangnan sent a message saying that the price of grain had risen by 10% last month. The chief shopkeeper said that for the first time in the calendar year, grain prices rose in February, except before and after the New Year's Pass. Kang Rongping said to the account book.

Ji Ran said with a smile: "The same is true of our family's grain store, and the price of grain is higher after the year than before the year." The mother explained to the shopkeeper that because the mourning period has just passed, restaurants have opened one after another, and more food is needed, and it is normal for food prices to rise.

What's more, after a year of marriage, there are many happy events at the beginning of the year. There are more happy events in various places, and naturally there is a need for more food. ”

Chang'an said: "Grain would have risen a little, but now it is only two percent higher than our estimate." It's not enough! If you want people to empty the granary in Jiangnan regardless of the consequences, you must raise it by another three percent within two months. ”

Ji Ran gasped, she understood that if the grain was higher than one percent, the farmer would consider selling some of the surplus grain at home. If it is 20% higher, the family will keep enough food for a year, and the rest will be sold one after another.

If it is 30 percent higher, the people will reduce their grain storage to the autumn harvest, which is 50 percent higher...... She couldn't think of what would happen to the people, but those who had the ability to use the granary were afraid that they would sell the life-saving grain in the warehouse.

It's horrible! Obviously, last year was a bumper year, and grain prices have been falling since the autumn harvest, but because of their operation, restaurants in the north followed suit, and they simply raised the grain prices in the bumper year in the south of the Yangtze River to a height that was not seen in the famine year.

"My mother said yesterday that if the price of grain rises wildly, and it is higher by one percent, the government should use the grain in the granary to stabilize the local grain price." Ji Ran reminded softly.

Chang'an chuckled and said, "If it rises by one percent, the government will naturally have to pass, for the sake of political performance, they can't watch the people panic because of food prices." However, if it rises by another three percent, I don't believe that under the huge temptation, the granary can still be saved. ”

Ji Ran only felt a chill in her back, she wanted to say, it's almost, it's okay! If it continues like this, it will be a good year, and Jiangnan may be as sad as a disaster year.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fu has people watching, and the people will not be stupid enough to sell the stored grain. At least there will be enough food for the family to support the autumn harvest. Brother Wen Rui is targeting the granary, as long as there is no food, the possibility of King Yue's rebellion will be minimized. Kang Rong comforted Ji Ran peacefully.

Chang'an smiled, "Actually, what we did did almost no harm to the people, and moreover, the people of Jiangnan made a small profit." ”

Ji Ran didn't say a word, King Yue ran out of food to raise troops, in fact, the granary of the imperial court in Jiangnan may not be able to keep it, King Yue has the means to control the fiefdom, but the young emperor is not capable of taking charge of Jiangnan.

In the case of no food, King Yue is obviously more confident than the imperial court.

Chang'an frowned and said, "Half of Jiangnan is from the imperial court, but Jiangnan has insufficient troops, and its combat effectiveness is not as strong as that of the northwest soldiers." If there is a real fight, the emperor will still transfer troops from the northwest.

Now the Northwest Army that the imperial court can deploy, in addition to the Ningyuan Army, there are also the defenders of Canglan Pass, and the Black Flag Forbidden Army is in Gyeonggi, where else? ”

Kang Rongping said, "There are also Zhongzhou Guanjia Army, Jinbei Army, and Jinmen Army. ”

Chang An said with a smile, "I just hope that there will be no fighting, but if there is a real war, the food we have stored will have a place to go." ”

Ji Ran said in a dumb voice, "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering!" I'd rather be a dog in a prosperous world than a person in a troubled world. We are doing iniquity! ”

Chang'an raised his eyebrows and said, "If the young emperor does not raise troops, my family is willing to go bankrupt and pay for the two losses." ”

Ji Ran shook his head with a smile, "It doesn't have to be like this, we didn't lose money." ”

Kang Kang also said, "My grain store followed the trend and raised prices, but it made a small profit, and I am not afraid to secretly buy grain and save it, and I can sell it sooner or later." Besides, there are also one or twenty Kant Building, and there is a lot of food consumed in a year! ”

Ji Ran said with a smile, "Young Master Kang now knows the family's revenue, who was it at the beginning, I don't know anything?" ”

Kang Kang smiled shyly and said, "This time, my arithmetic score will definitely be a full score." ”

Chang'an is worried, if the king of Yue does not rebel, and the imperial court has no granary in the south of the Yangtze River, will it not withdraw the domain? If this is the case, the world is peaceful, does the grain not need to be transported to the northwest to King Jing?

"That's all for today!" Ji Ran pushed the ledger away and said goodbye.

"Miss Ji, wait a minute, I'll call my sister back." Chang'an said and hurriedly walked out.

Ji Ran said with a smile, "Don't worry, Sister Yue will pick me up, and I'll send Sister Yue to Aunt Qi's school!" ”

Chang'an stood still, turned around and saluted Ji Ran, "Thank you, Miss Ji." ”

Kang Kang smiled and said, "You two are polite to come, polite to go, but it is for the sake of Yue Sister, it is better to let my sister thank Miss Ji by herself." ”

Chang'an went to the main courtyard and didn't find his sister, I heard that my sister and the two grandmothers were in the garden, so I looked for them all the way, and said that my sister had gone to find Ji Ran.

Back in the yard, listening to the chatter in the house, my sister's silver bell-like laughter floated in, "No way! There are only sisters-in-law and aunts in the family, and then there are grandmothers and mothers. Begonia flowers look good! This picture of the old lady Begonia spring sleeping has a unique flavor! ”

Ji Ran couldn't laugh anymore, covered her stomach and said, "Yueyue is really, it's good to draw grandma, why do you want to paint her red lips, is the blush too red, grandma didn't scold you?" ”

A very beautiful oil painting, the begonia tree flowers and branches, the begonia flowers fly in the wind. On a slate chair under the tree, an old lady reclined and sleeping soundly.

It's just that the old lady's lips are painted as if she has just drunk blood, and her face is red as if she has gone mad. What the hell is this!

"Why are you painting milk like this?"

Fang Yue said helplessly, "Milk said, if you don't have energy, you must draw red lips." I didn't look carefully, every time she woke up, her face was red.

I use a little bit of pale pink, and my milk says it's not red enough, it must be blood red. It took me a few times to add red to my mouth before I was satisfied. The blush must be watermelon red, and I am not satisfied with the orange color, saying that it is not enough to look energetic. Milk said, this is how it looks good! ”

All right! The aesthetic of milk is very individual. However, what are you showing Ji Ran?

Fang Yue understood what his brother was thinking at a glance, "I was going to draw a picture of the spring sleep of begonias for the embroidery workshop, and I wanted to embroider it into a kang screen, but my grandmother wanted me to draw her, and said that she would frame her kang screen as a kang screen." ”

Kang Kang couldn't help but smile and said, "So I will leave this one to the grandmother, and Sister Yue will paint another one to the embroidery brocade workshop, and both sides will be happy." ”

Fang Yue rolled up the painting, "I don't want it, I want to embroider this one and make a birthday gift for my grandmother." ”

Chang'an woke up violently, when they came, it was the day of Mrs. Niu's birthday, and five years have passed in a flash......
