"Gao Yu, that pimping and stinky foot guy, how is he doing now? When the court captain. Look at you again, isn't it unsatisfactory? Why can you become a captain and become a person by eating, drinking and having fun? And you have studied hard for many years, but you have been reduced to a poor and sour talent, and you have eaten the last meal but not the next. Is this written in the books of the sages? ”

In the conference room, Chao Gai's tone softened, but his face was full of hatred. From scolding to scolding, it became a reprimand for splitting his head and covering his face.

"Have you ever wondered why? When they come here, in addition to complaining and complaining, how many people are looking for problems from their own side? There are several talented people over there, Wu Yong, the champion of the court that year. Xiao Jiasui, a son of the royal family of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, is talented and well-read......

, have you ever thought about apprenticeship, only about 20 people have taken the initiative in a few months. Do you think that you have learned home, or do you think that these talents are not as good as you, as long as this is the case, why can't you pass the exam? ”

These words were the voice of Chao Gai's heart, and they were the reason for his anger. In addition to teaching children, the gathering of these fallen talents is to raise the tall civil officials from the short ones to prepare for the occupation of territory.

But this group of showmen felt that they were talented and arrogant, and they couldn't lose that face. For three months, there were only twenty or thirty people who apprenticed to Wen Huanzhang, and Wu Yong was the teacher, and they were assigned to help everywhere and learn to deal with affairs.

The rest of these literati do not move their buttocks, nor do they take the initiative to learn their skills. Just teaching in a private school, the only reason why he is not kicked out is that he teaches seriously, and he is worthy of Chao Gai's money.

A few days ago, several military advisors mentioned this, and he felt the need to come to class.

Chao Gai felt that everyone was in the thatched house-people who were facing outward to ask for face, and he didn't say anything like he couldn't catch up with the heat, and finally sighed earnestly: "If you don't ask and don't learn, do you want others to force you?" Wu, Xiao, Wen, and Li came to visit in turn? Not everyone is suitable for sitting in a sedan chair to be an official, and a person's talent depends on where it will bloom, but it is also necessary to seize the opportunity. ”

The last words made many of the showmen present blush, and they bowed their heads in shame. The literati who spoke first before was the first to get up, bowed deeply to Chao Gai, and said, "Headmaster, be taught," and then sat down and glanced at the guest seats. There is the first, there is the second and the third, and the other showmen also get up one after another to salute, and the conference room is constantly being taught.

Chao Gai responded with a slight bow, picked up the lecturing stick and pointed to the question on the blackboard: "Okay, let's start today's lesson, what is the way of the sages?" It was very clear before that he had great wisdom, wrote books and passed them on, and passed them on to future generations. It can also be understood as a person who contributes to culture. But there are so many people who read books in the world, why are there so few people who write books and speak up? ”

He turned around and glanced at the many talents below, perhaps he was scolded and scared before, and everyone didn't dare to speak. However, seeing Chao Gai's smiling eyes, he looked over again, and a fair-skinned and plainly dressed Xiucai got up nervously.

"Individuals have different qualifications and different understandings of things."

"Yes, our qualifications are stupid, where can I compare to those sages?" One after another, they got up and answered, but they were basically the same.

"That's right, it's just one aspect!" Chao Gai waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, and then turned to the guest seat on the left: "I don't know how many gentlemen?" ”

"Learning but not refined, lack of insight." Wu replied with his mouth.

"It is better to believe in books than to have no books, and most people's minds are imprisoned." Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huan and others spoke one after another, although the words were short, but they were to the point.

"That's a good point!" Chao Gai nodded, and looked at the Xiucai again: "Reading is only to increase your knowledge, and your insights into life are wisdom." After all, learning from others can only be regarded as a reference, and only by painstakingly studying and pondering and having one's own theory can it be regarded as one's own. After that, we can try to innovate, write a book and leave a name in history, which is the way of the sages.

Why did Confucius, Mencius and others become sages? Was it born to be? No, they also learned from others, and then they had their own thoughts, and then they had the Four Books and Five Classics, the way of Confucius and Mencius for future generations to follow. It's just a lack of thinking and innovation, and most people don't know what to do! ”

There were not only more than 100 talents present, but also Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong and other generals in the army felt that what Chao Gai said was very reasonable.

Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui and other military advisors even thought of Chao Gai, and then talked about the key points.

Sure enough, Chao Gai didn't talk nonsense, and said his purpose: "Just like Chinese characters, the strokes are cumbersome and difficult to write, and it is difficult to teach and difficult to recognize." You've been studying for years, why don't you think of ways to simplify it? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng and others in the guest seats on the right. The latter understood, opened a few sacks, took out bundles of brand-new thread-bound books, and quickly distributed them to everyone.

Chao Gai also has a book in his hand that is not thick, with a few big characters written on the letter, exuding a unique aroma of calligraphy and ink. Turning the first page, it is the surname of the hundred families "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang" and so on. All in simplified Chinese characters, followed by a traditional Chinese character.

The Chinese characters commonly used in later generations are all in this booklet. It was written by Chao Gai himself, and it was also printed and bound into a book by the paper mill yesterday.

As you can imagine, it's a small thing! But the significance is profound.

When people open books, their eyes widen, and the sound of gasping comes and goes, there are also many cries like "Oh my God, this is a great talent".

This is Chao Gai's simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters in the post-world side by side, one or two are nothing, and the arrangement of more than 1,000 commonly used Chinese characters is very shocking.

In addition to Wu Yong knowing a lot, Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang and others were also stunned. Widely popularized, reading and literacy has become very simple.

The private school professor also thought of it! Lu Zhishen, Zhu Qi, Yutai and other generals in the army all smiled, and the words they learned every month must have increased.

"Headmaster, dare you ask if this is your book?" Someone below stood up to verify.

Chao Gai's heart is a reference, and he can only nod in front of everyone's eyes: "Yes, with this Chinese Hanshu, it is easier for you to teach." The children accept it faster, and those in the army don't have a headache. Can such a major event that is beneficial to all the people of the world be ranked as a sage? ”

"Hahaha, the lord is so good!" Wu laughed with admiration on his face.

Chao Gai shook the booklet in his hand and smiled meaningfully: "Students, I said before that you must seize the opportunity to do anything. This time Huaxia Hanshu is just a blueprint, and there are many things that can be added. Such as the meaning of each word, how to form words, how to form sentences. As in the Analects, wouldn't this supplement also make a name for itself? ”

These words were like a slap in the face, which shocked many talents. As if the clouds were clearing, the mouth suddenly opened, and it seemed that there was an extra road ahead. They only thought that it would be easier to read and hyphenate words, but they didn't think about it so thoroughly.

"Teacher, I'm waiting to be taught." I don't know who took the lead in getting up and giving a big salute to Chao Gai, and this time, all the Xiucai scrambled to get up and bow.

"I'm not your teacher, and I don't have time to take in apprentices, but a few of them are over there." Chao Gai didn't dodge, and pointed to the serious advice of several military advisors.

"Okay, there is another book of Huaxia arithmetic, which is the exotic number that the god and man taught and learned in his dream, after sorting it out, it can be more convenient to count statistics, and millions of numbers can also be calculated, which is wonderful."

Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, Yu Tai, Lu Fang and others took out bundles of books from the sack and quickly distributed them, and soon everyone had one in hand. When everyone present saw the above content, they exclaimed endlessly.

That's the Arabic numeral 0~1000, followed by a Chinese character translation. Some articles break sentences, punctuation, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and so on.

It is very novel, except for Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui and others who were contacted in advance. Only a few people suddenly realized, and most of the people present seemed to understand.

Chao Gai didn't wait for everyone to ask, and patted the table to signal everyone to be quiet: "I will explain to you in this class, punctuation and the use of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division." Listen carefully, ask if you don't understand, don't pretend to understand. ”

After that, he picked up the chalk and brushed it on the blackboard wall, first explaining ",。!? The usage of punctuation marks, as well as the meaning of the representation. Then write down the method of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and talk about it in detail and carefully.

The audience was stunned but surprised, and the new calculation method is simple and practical, as long as the format is neat, it can be calculated. Most of them are prepared in advance, take out a pen and paper to take notes, and ask questions from time to time. Chao Gai knows everything, says everything, and is very conscientious. By the way, I also ask for other people's names to increase my affinity.

In fact, he was only at the high school level, and he did not teach complex arithmetic such as solving equations that wasted time, but the most basic arithmetic methods were applied everywhere.

Even so, as long as you can be proficient and master how to use it, it will be very convenient.

It can be used everywhere in life, similar to Wu Yong, Xiao Rang and his apprentices can easily count data such as population and food. Never go wrong. It is also impossible to ignore in the military field, and it is indispensable to march and fight in the future.

It was very simple, but the people present were in contact with it for the first time, and they learned slowly and had many problems. I had to stop, made a summary of the questions, selected explanations, and gave examples. This class was read and taught for an hour before it was finished!

Chao Gai saw that most people understood, so he threw away the chalk head: "Okay, that's all for the lesson, if you don't understand, you can ask those gentlemen." When you thoroughly understand today's content, you will have new knowledge in the future. ”

She originally wanted to teach the Chinese alphabet to facilitate the identification of Chinese characters. But considering the truth that it is too much, it is still step by step.

The show showed that Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng and others still had sacks around them that had not been opened, and they understood that what Chao Gai said was true, and they were full of expectation and admiration. Everyone stood up and saluted, and the rules and regulations were said to be yes.

"Alright, alright!" Chao Gai waved his hand, his face full of smiles: "Back to the previous question, I know the sage books you have learned, but I don't read them, because they are useless to me. The sages understand, I understand, and the sages don't understand, I understand, so I can ignore them and even despise them. ”

With that, he glanced at the few military advisors on the left, and then left with his hands behind his back. Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui and others understood and hurriedly followed.
