The giants bowed their heads and were silent, this is not forcing Zhang Fei to embroider! What normal person studies these little tadpoles all day long? Wouldn't it be better to have that effort to shoot a few more prey?

Ye Wushu had long figured out the temperament of these people, and knew that the bitter persuasion was ineffective, so he could only go off the rails with his sword, and if he didn't eat the soft ones, he would go to the hard ones, pointing to the words on the shrine and reading:

"You don't know? Then I'll read them to you one by one:

This is the family rules carved by the ancestors of the past dynasties, there are two in total, and the left side reads:

He who is illiterate shall not be a patriarch.

On the right reads:

Those who do not listen to the patriarch are not worthy to be a clansman! ”

The six mentors outside looked at the words Heaven and Earth Monarch on the shrine, and then looked at the giant kneeling on the ground with a bewildered face, and sighed one after another:

"That's how I got blind!"

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded:

"Grandpa, the number of words on these two sides is the same, why do you pronounce two more words on the right? And I don't know how to write, I don't look like this. ”

"What is written on the shrine is in Chinese, and the patriarch grandfather is translating it into the vernacular for you to hear, and the original text is:

Those who are not learned and talented do not pass on the mantle of the patriarch,

Those who disobeyed the orders of the patriarch were immediately expelled from the village.

Do you count the same number of words? There are also words such as non, don't, and violation, which don't mean the same thing. ”

Ye Congwen saw that the old patriarch was picked on by his grandson, and he didn't know how to round the field, so he immediately took over the conversation and said foolishly.

Ye Ruwolf wrenched his hands and counted for a long time before he shut up in disbelief.

Ye Wushu almost showed his stuffing, he was not good at reading and reading one by one, but he was quite shrewd when he picked on people's faults. Say less and make fewer mistakes, say more and make more mistakes, just say a few words and leave it to Ye Congwen, this kid is obviously better than me to fool people.

"According to the rules of the ancestors of the past dynasties, only me and Ye Congwen of the two clans meet the conditions to be the patriarch. I am nearly seventy years old, I should have lived a quiet life a long time ago, for so many years, I got up early and taught Ye Congwen to read and write:

The Four Books and Five Classics, the subset of the scriptures and history, Feng Shui metaphysics, medical divination and astrology, and even the apprentice camp guidance technique, the Demon Hunter Guard Body Forging Technique, have all been involved, if I hadn't worked hard to lay a solid foundation for him for more than ten years, how could he become a one-in-a-ten thousand body forging warlock in just one year?

I won't say more nonsense, anyway, all my mantle has been passed to Ye Congwen, I will, he will, and I won't if he won't. If there is anything you don't understand in the future, just ask Patriarch Ye Congwen, don't bother me at every turn.

Now, welcome the new patriarch with a round of applause. ”

The giants applauded one after another, although they felt that the mantle of the patriarch was too child's play, but Ye Congwen Wen was able to put pen to paper and settle accounts, Wu Neng, he could let go of one hundred and eight Jiafu Grand Master Consummation Realm masters alone, and the entire Iron Tower Village really couldn't find anyone more powerful than him.

Even Ye Ruwolf thought that Ye Congwen was more suitable than himself to be the patriarch of the Huaye clan, and he clapped his palms harder than anyone else.

Ye Congwen stood up and found that he was a cut shorter than the giant! Suddenly realizing that this situation must be changed, the giants are condescending, and after a long time, they will despise themselves, and over time they will take their words as the wind in their ears.

When I think of the classes in the apprenticeship camp, the apprentices are sitting on stone benches, holding their heads up and listening to the teacher's teachings with a hungry attitude. Immediately he commanded:

"The light in the ancestral hall is too dim, the place is too narrow, let's go outside and say, everyone bring a stool to sit in the courtyard, and I will announce something important later."

The giants were unrestrained, facing the ancestral spirit card, as if there were dozens of pairs of eyes staring at them, hearing Ye Congwen let everyone go to the courtyard outside, and they ran faster than rabbits one by one.

Waiting for the giants to sit on the stools, Ye Congwen walked out with a one-foot-tall genealogy.

The giants were suspicious and speculated:

"Could it be that Xiao Congwen really plans to teach everyone to read and write?"

Some of the giants who had played with Ye Congwen were instantly interested, and they searched their stomachs and racked their brains to think of some reasons to ridicule or refuse.

Ye Wudi stood aside from afar and watched coldly, secretly sighing that Ye Congwen was still too young after all, how could these old fritters honestly listen to your lectures and read and write with you with peace of mind? I couldn't help but shake my head, it seemed that I would have to rely on myself later.

I saw Ye Congwen put the thick genealogy on the stone table, and said confidently:

"It is said that the new official has taken office three times, and we also have more than 300 people in Tieta Village, and I am now the head of a clan that manages more than 300 people.

If you follow the customs of the locals, then I will also learn from the officials and lords to light three fires.

The first fire: All the people in Tieta Village obeyed the order, from today onwards, no one is allowed to go up the mountain to hunt. ”

As soon as Ye Congwen's words fell, the giants below exchanged their heads one after another, and even the Mu clan people standing on the periphery also frowned, what do you eat if you don't hunt? Many people bumped the pigeon bean sprouts with their arms and asked quietly:

"Little bean sprouts, what kind of fame is your Ye Congwen?"

The pigeon bean sprouts were also confused, but Ye Congwen had a lot of ideas, and he never fought a battle that he was not sure of, and no one knew what he wanted to do until the end.

The giants held back the doubts in their hearts, Ye Congwen was the patriarch for the first time, and they all gave him a thin face, and they all chose to wait and see what happened.

"The second fire: People under the age of 20 in the whole tower village, regardless of men and women, will start reading and writing wholeheartedly from today."

Now all the giants couldn't sit still, and the two of them muttered quietly, discussing the selection of a person who could speak well, had a good temper, and could chat with Ye Congwen to persuade Ye Congwen. More than 100 people are talking about it, and you and I can't determine the candidate.

"The third fire: People over the age of twenty of the two clans of the flower and leaf tribes obey the order, from today onwards, you will assist the people of the Mu tribe to build simple wooden houses with all their might, and build them downstream along the small river in Tieta Village, as long as it is gentle, build a small wooden house for it, and the action should be fast, and the house should be built as small as possible, and it can be inhabited."

Still building a house? Also fully assist the carpenter of the wood clan to build a house? Is it built for ghosts to live in? At this time, not only the giant was full of questions, but even the carpenters of the wood clan were dumbfounded and at a loss, and pushed the pigeon bean sprouts out for questioning.

The giants discussed for a long time, and finally decided that Ye Jiehua would come forward to persuade Ye Congwen. Ye Jiehua rubbed his hands and asked:

"Xiao Congwen——— Congwen is the little patriarch. Our Tieta Village has always had a clear division of labor, the giants of the two tribes hunt to make money to support their families, and the Mu people build houses, build ships, grow vegetables, and take care of their children.

It's not that my brother is too talkative, now we don't hunt anymore, and we don't grow vegetables anymore, all of them are wholeheartedly reading what four uncles and five catties, catty chickens, can that thing make money? Can it fill your stomach? ”

"That's it, there are more than 300 people in our Tieta Village, and our flower and leaf clans are even more meatless and happy, no wine and no banquet, you don't plan to let us eat vegetarian and lose weight, right?"

Seeing that Ye Congwen was not angry, the giants also had the courage to tease.

The six mentors secretly said that it was not good, and they felt that Ye Congwen was too anxious, and he should take it step by step, step by step, and put forward all the conditions at once, how could these giants who were already resistant to it give in?

Who knew that Ye Congwen returned to the stone table instead, opened the genealogy, turned the first page, and took out a copper coin. Then asked:

"What is this?"

"Copper coins."

Everyone was puzzled, so they had to answer honestly, but it was just a penny, and there was a look of disdain in their eyes.

Turning the second page, Ye Congwen took out another silver coin, showed it to everyone, and then asked:

"What is this?"

"A silver coin."

Ye Jiehua couldn't guess Ye Congwen's intentions, and still chose to wait and see.

Ye Congwen opened the third page, took out a gold coin, and asked again:

"What is this?"

"A gold coin."

Ye Congwen turned another page, took out a gold bar and asked:

"What is this?"

"Of course it's a gold bar."

Ye Jiehua's eyes lit up, and he habitually swallowed his saliva.

"Congratulations, you answered correctly."

Ye Congwen no longer played tricks, tapped the thick genealogy with his fingers, and said earnestly: "The ancients said:

The book has its own gold bar, and the book has its own sorghum wine. There is not only one way to support a family in the world, hunting and farming, but also reading and writing, and maybe earning more than hard work.

Looking at your disdainful expressions, do you think I, Ye Congwen, am fooling you? ”

Ye Congwen saw that the giants shook their heads, obviously disagreeing with their statements, and glanced around at everyone, and saw a group of children surrounded by pigeon bean sprouts, which were her younger sisters.

Suddenly I had an idea in my heart, and said with a smile:

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. I'm going to show you the power of words right now. ”

Ye Congwen put the copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins in a row, pressed the gold bars on the three coins, took out a piece of white paper and pen, and said to everyone:

"See any of these things? As long as it is a villager of Tieta Village, he will be rewarded with copper coins if he writes two words of copper coins, silver coins for writing two words of silver coins, and gold coins for gold coins.

I do what I say! ”

The following suddenly exploded, and one by one they exchanged words and discussions, as if they didn't believe that such a good thing had fallen on their heads. What are you kidding, it only costs a few hundred dollars to shoot a wild boar, a gold bar has to beat at least a hundred wild boars, more than 200 hunters are out of the horse, and it takes ten days and eight days to go, and it has to be the peak season of the autumn harvest.

Isn't it pie in the sky that you will be rewarded with a gold bar for writing a few words?

The giants were moved, and they stood up and looked around, but unfortunately none of them dared to come to the stage, everyone knows what gold, silver and copper look like, but if you want to write it out, you can't be sure.

Ye Congwen asked again and again, but the giants of the Huaye clan never dared to come on stage to write, so they had to look at the Mu clansmen, and suddenly a little girl with a horn said timidly:

"I can write all three things."

Ye Congwen knew that when she took her younger sisters before, in order to prevent a few people from fighting and hurting their bodies, she once let them learn to write.

The pigeon bean sprouts family is poor, and there are many sisters, and it is a blessing to the giants to be able to eat a full meal, where is the change to buy candy for the children to eat?

So these children desperately learn to write in order to eat candy, and after a long time, the eldest sister can write hundreds of commonly used words.

"Wood bamboo shoots, you come up and write."

Mu Zhuzhu knew that Ye Congwen would be his fourth brother-in-law in the future, and he bought himself a lot of new clothes and candy last time, so he smiled shyly, ran in small steps, and ran to the stage with a gust of wind.

Pick up the pen, write stroke by stroke, extremely serious, a copper coin can be exchanged for a sugar, a silver coin a thousand, a gold bar that can't be counted, at least with a big ship!

Ye Congwen waited for the wooden bamboo shoots to write the six characters together, then picked up the piece of paper and invited the six mentors:

"Six mentors, please come over and help me do an appraisal to see if these six words are written correctly? Save some people from saying that I am cheating for personal gain. ”

The six mentors accepted the invitation, walked through the crowd, walked in one by one, picked up the piece of paper, read it seriously, and then exchanged views with each other, and finally announced by Qin Cheng, who was upright and upright in appearance:

"The strokes are neat, the handwriting is clear, and although the size is different, it is not easy for a child of eight or nine years old.

All correct! ”

Ye Congwen immediately stuffed all the gold bars, gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins into the palm of the wooden bamboo shoots, touched his head, and ordered:

"Use the money to buy candy to eat, study hard in the future, and have a chance to win more rewards!"

The wooden bamboo shoots held the money tightly, nodded like pounding garlic, and ran outside under the envy of everyone, this girl has a piggy bank by herself, she wants to save it for later to buy candy to eat.

Seeing that the wooden bamboo shoots had won a huge sum of money, the children of the wood tribe all followed behind, ready to beg for candy to eat.

The giants of the two tribes of flowers and leaves are not short of candy to eat, so they naturally disdain to ask for candy, but the glittering gold bar is really attractive, but it is a pity that it was won away by the girl of wood and bamboo shoots. Immediately, a giant said sourly:

"If you write six words, you will be rewarded with a gold bar, more than 200 of us are hard to read and write, I'm afraid that the little patriarch you can't get so many gold bars!"
