Xie Jin looked up and saw that it was the word "person".

The simplest word, in Xie Jin's opinion, if Jiang Xinghuo wants to rely on the three-character scripture of "Human Initial Nature" to teach these prisoners 500 commonly used words, it is no different from dreaming.

Literacy, relying on rote memorization, just with these prisoners, two months will not be able to memorize.

Just as the prisoners were mixed with disapproval, reluctance, and non-denial, a voice suddenly sounded.

"This word is human!"

Jiang Xinghuo looked down and saw that it was the white-faced kid, and if he looked closely, he was really not old, and he looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old.

Seeing that someone had picked their heads, these prisoners dared to speak.

"Nonsense, it's obviously eight."

"I think I'm in."

"Obviously read ×."

Xie Jin looked at these people, but shook his head helplessly, and he didn't know if he was sad for the difficulty of Jiang Xinghuo's lecture.

Or is it simply just, schadenfreude.

It's not that these illiterate people can't speak Chinese, and who can't speak? Their biggest problem is that every word they utter doesn't match on paper.

Don't think it's ridiculous, in ancient China, this was the status quo of the majority of ordinary people.

Strictly speaking, these people are not ordinary people who farm, but people in the market, or in the capital of the Ming Empire.

It stands to reason that they should have much more knowledge than ordinary people in other places, but they know very little about words, the most familiar but unfamiliar thing.

And the two fake jailers guarding the door also have different attitudes towards this.

Xie Jin didn't sneer, in fact, Xie Jin, who is only a high fighter, has a sense of superiority that can only be generated for those who are not as good as him, and for this kind of civilians who don't even know a single big character, he feels that these people are not worthy of giving him a sense of superiority.

If his mentality let Jiang Xinghuo know, Jiang Xinghuo must still be very understandable.

The big guy at the top of the leaderboard in the game, who is despised is ranked behind him, and if you ask him to despise the first-level number that he can't get into the novice village, he really can't seem to despise it.

Zheng He, on the other hand, has a cold black face.

Although Zheng He experienced a tragic early life, the Ming army attacked Yunnan in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Ma He was only ten years old, and was taken to Nanjing by Lan Yu, the deputy commander of the Ming army, and after being castrated into a eunuch, he entered Zhu Di's Yanwang Mansion.

But to be honest in this life, it was worse than that time, and from then on, Zheng He's life was a counterattack all the way.

In the rain of guns and arrows, Zheng He's mind has long been sharpened and extremely hard.

It is impossible to have any sympathy for these prisoners.

As an existence that has risen from the bottom, Zheng He believes that he can't change his fate, it's just that these people don't work hard enough and aren't good enough.

If you really want to change your fate, then these prisoners will not be able to endure the hardships that people like themselves have endured.

That's why they're here.

Everyone's thoughts, Jiang Xinghuo can also guess a little bit.

This has been reincarnated for eight lifetimes, even though the sophistication of human feelings may still not be as good as those black-hearted bureaucrats in the officialdom, but many things are just Jiang Xinghuo's unwillingness to bow his head to do, which does not mean that he can't see through it.

With his mind turning, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the changing face and said earnestly.

"You're right, the word is 'human', how did you know that?"

Changing his face, he hugged his knees with his hands, and whispered like a mosquito: "In the past, the proprietress of Yirentang was kind-hearted, and I always squatted in front of Yirentang to beg. ”

The slippery Zhang Ling also spoke at this time: "This gentleman can want to teach us the "Three Character Classic"? At the beginning of human beings, their nature is good and similar. I can memorize a few sentences, but unfortunately I can't write, I don't know if my husband understands whether he teaches or not. ”

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Xinghuo simply shook his head.

"If I don't teach the "Three Character Classic", I can teach you the word 'person' today, and I will feel at ease."

When Jiang Xinghuo said this, everyone was a little indignant.

Who do you look down upon?

You said that we can't learn 500 words in more than two months.

But we are not stupid, we learn the word 'human' in half an hour, and we still can't understand it?

Deng Lao, who was waiting for the scales, also knocked on the ground and said in a muffled voice: "The most fair thing to do in my business, I don't eat Mr.'s steamed buns in vain, this word must be learned, just two strokes." ”

If Jiang Xinghuo wants them to learn a lot of words, maybe these prisoners from the market will be lazy and will resist.

But when Deng Lao Liang said this, everyone felt a little embarrassed.

It's good to eat a bun, and now he has another basket, and he can't be too embarrassed by this gentleman.

Anyway, you have to learn a word along with it, and this word is not difficult to learn.

While everyone is thinking about it.

Jiang Xinghuo wrote a few things that seemed to be ghostly on the wooden board and under the 'people' with charcoal.

ren

Jiang Xinghuo didn't say the meaning of these ghost talismans, but turned his head and asked Xiang Chang'er again.

"What do you think 'people' mean? Or, what is a 'person'? ”

Changing his face timidly, he replied: "I think people are those who study and make a fortune, and they must be powerful and powerful in order to be called 'people'." ”

Jiang Xinghuo groaned and then asked, "Then aren't you 'people'?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was like interviewing you on the street whether you were happy or not, and immediately aroused the anger of the public.

The kiln man, Li Laohei, who had not spoken, said in a loud voice: "Sir, don't make fun of us, how can we be called 'people' when we are cattle and horses?" Even if it's called a mule and a horse, it's pretty much the same. ”

"If we don't say it's a 'human,' we're also a 'human.'" Li Ling, who sells counterfeit medicines, is the most eloquent among them, "But people are not the same from people?" According to the words of the fortune teller, it is the life of one life, that is, the life of eternity. In other words, it is to be a cow and a horse for the rest of your life. ”

"If we count as 'people', then this word is too worthless, and my life is probably not as valuable as the wood carving clay sculpture carved by my own hands." The carved and pinched wooden flutes are also self-deprecating.

That's how they live, day after day, year after year, after all, most of them don't know what they're living for.

Doing repetitive work, in the daily exhaustion, I forgot my original dream, and lived like my childhood father and mother worked hard for a living.

Who doesn't want to get ahead in this world? But with such a number of fates, how much effect can individual efforts play in rebelling against fate?

earning pitiful copper coins, bowing his head and pretending to be grandsons for the family, the grievances and anger in his heart can only be held in the deepest part and endured silently.

They have even become accustomed to the status quo and are numb.

But there are always moments when you want to rebel against this fucking God, but so what?

They are like fireflies shrouded in a haze, struggling and flying, but they cannot escape the arrangement of fate.

In the end, it was Xiao Wu who covered his mouth and wiped the blood, and opened his voice in a difficult voice.

"When I was a child, I heard my husband say that we should teach and educate people, but since my husband didn't teach us, we didn't think we were 'people'."

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Xinghuo frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. teaches and educates people, no one taught you before, now I will teach!"

"From now on, you will call me Mr. Jiang!"

As soon as these words came out, several people were silent for a moment, and they simply covered their cheeks with their hands.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Jiang Xinghuo took a breath and continued to say loudly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read, you always speak. Let me ask you again, how do you pronounce 'human'? ”

It seemed that their morale was temporarily boosted by Jiang Xinghuo's words, and they read unevenly.

"People!"

"Read slowly, read along."

Jiang Xinghuo slowed down his speech: "Rien, people." ”

"Rien, man!"

Jiang Xinghuo nodded, and said again.

"Why did Ri and Nga become human together?"

Several people shook their heads blankly.

And Xie Jin and Zheng He, who were guarding the door, also became a little interested when they heard the words at this time.

Pronunciation, and exquisite?

So, Xie Jin and Zheng He were also looking forward to it, waiting for Jiang Xinghuo to explain his 'day' and 'grace'.

"Don't understand?"

Jiang Xinghuo looked at a few people and said softly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'll tell you."

Subsequently, Jiang Xinghuo drew a ○ shape on the wooden board, and sketched a few strokes on the side, depicting the sun at the level of children's stick figures.

Fortunately, a few people can understand it.

Jiang Xinghuo explained in his own way.

"It is because of the sun that everything in this world is possible."

"Man is also a gift from the sun."

This is not a sun worship or totemic superstition, but it is true even from the most scientific point of view.

Without the solar system, there could be no Earth.

In other words, even with the Earth, without all the necessary conditions for life provided by the sun, the star, human beings would not have been born.

It is not an exaggeration to say that man is a gift from the sun.

It's just that Jiang Xinghuo said this, and he had some other intentions.

"Understand? Rijiaen is a person, and this is the pronunciation of 'person'. ”

"Each of you is a sun that shines and heats and contributes to the world with yourself."

Jiang Xinghuo pulled up the changing face that was squatting in the corner with his hand, looked at the miserable white face, and said softly.

"Don't feel inferior or feel inferior to others."

"For all men are a gift from the sun."

After listening to this explanation.

The prisoners stared blankly at Jiang Xinghuo.

Human pronunciation still has such a meaning?

Man is the gift of the sun.

In the past, they were cattle and horses in the eyes of the rich, ants in the eyes of the powerful, anonymous names in history books, and a string of numbers on the military registration list.

They are the only ones, not people!

No one has ever said that they are the shining sun, that everyone is a gift from the sun, that they should not feel inferior to others.

And today, Mr. Jiang doesn't just say that they are human.

Moreover, Mr. Jiang also told them that everyone is a gift from the sun!

Xie Jin looked at the several prisoners whose mental outlook had changed significantly, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"This Jiang Xinghuo's strong ability to agitate gives these prisoners great hope in just a few words, no wonder they have to use steamed buns as temptation, this person's ability to manipulate people's hearts is really unusual."

"The traitor seems to be loyal, I'm afraid that his people will influence the emperor and several princes so much, there must be unknown intentions!"

Thinking of this, Xie Jin couldn't help but continue to think.

In Xie Jin's view, everyone has a purpose in doing things.

Some people seek fame, some people seek profit, and they always want to get something, so they will do things.

So what is Jiang Xinghuo lecturing in prison for?

Needless to say, it must be this way to attract the attention of the high-level of the Ming Empire, and then get the opportunity to soar.

Or else? Is it because you can't die? Who in the world would have put a good life aside and deliberately begged for death? This simply cannot be a motivation to act.

In fact, so far, Xie Jin feels that Jiang Xinghuo has succeeded.

So. He has one more strong competitor.

Xie Jin thought to himself: "However, just agitating these prisoners is not enough, right? After all, even if these prisoners are full of enthusiasm for learning in a short period of time, it is impossible for them to last, and even if they last, it is impossible to learn word by word, and they can learn 500 commonly used words in more than two months. ”

"What's more, there is also arithmetic to be taught at the same time, which gentleman to change, even if it is the best professor in Guozijian (the title of Guozijian is not equal to the current professor's title), in the face of this kind of task, I am afraid that they will make a consistent judgment - this is an impossible task at all!"

Zheng He, who was next to Xie Jin, also thought so at this time.

It's useless to beat the chicken blood for a while.

Therefore, if the Prison Literacy Class cannot solve the problem of rapid literacy, the Second Prince's Tax Police Corps may not be established in a short time.

Of course, Zheng He will not participate in the battle for the crown prince, but as the time for the second prince to be released from prison approaches, the ministers began to build momentum for Zhu Gaoxu, and this matter caused a stir in the temple.

And what is further than those lords is that Zheng He knows very well that the root of the problem is actually in the teacher in front of him.

The tax police corps was mentioned by Jiang Xinghuo, claiming to be able to eliminate illiteracy in more than two months, which is also what Jiang Xinghuo said.

In this regard, Zheng He judged according to common sense that it was unlikely.

Of course, unlike Xie Jin, Zheng He has other thoughts.

Since Jiang Xinghuo can say that Japan has gold and silver mountains, and Wanli Shitang has guano that can be used as natural fertilizer, then I am afraid that Jiang Xinghuo may really have a way to eradicate illiteracy, and maybe.

After all, Zheng He didn't believe in such an outrageous thing as Guano Island.

Until he found several islands with mountains of guano piled up in the stone pond

Jiang Xinghuo didn't know the thoughts of the two "jailers" at the door, he looked at the prisoner students who were encouraged, and continued.

"Now that you know people, it is day by day, then in fact, this is a universal truth."

"Why?" Zhang Ling asked.

Jiang Xinghuo explained: "I teach you to read, and you don't need to recognize word by word. ”

What?!

Hearing this, even Zheng He was curious to hold the knife and look at it.

Xie Jin, who was still confident just now, was even more stunned in his heart.

How can you learn to read without recognizing word by word?

Jiang Xinghuo eradicates illiteracy, what method does he plan to use?

Why hasn't Xuefu Wuche like him heard of this method that can be learned without knowing words?

Does this really exist in this world?

In Xie Jin's mind full of question marks, Jiang Xinghuo revealed the mystery.

"For example."

Jiang Xinghuo pointed to the "r" and said: "This symbol, you remember, study in the future." ”

He pointed to "en" again and said, "And this symbol, read en." ”

"R plus en, it's Rien, man!"

"There are many, thousands, of Chinese characters, and it is impossible to tell the origin, meaning, and extended meaning of these Chinese characters for many days and nights."

"But you must know that although there are many Chinese characters, the sound of Chinese characters is limited!"

After that, Jiang Xinghuo spread out the booklet in his hand, and the first page on it recorded twenty-six pinyin letters.

The dozen or so pages behind the booklet are the 500 commonly used Chinese characters written by Jiang Xinghuo himself, as well as the pinyin method of each word, and the corresponding content notes and commonly used phrases.

"So, you only need to learn the twenty-six pronunciation symbols, and the corresponding methods, in theory, you can spell out almost all the pronunciations of Chinese characters in the world."

"Of course, you don't need to learn so much for the time being, you just need to learn my pinyin method first, and put the pronunciation of Chinese characters right, so take the dictionary I wrote for you, and you can naturally read the corresponding Chinese characters."

"If you can pronounce the words you encounter in your life phonetically, you will learn very quickly."

"Because in the process of literacy, the biggest problem you encounter is that you can't pronounce the words, words and pronunciation are not right, if you can match the number, many things can be solved."

Looking at the booklet in Jiang Xinghuo's hand, Xie Jin swallowed with difficulty.

Xie Jin just aimed at a few common words starting with 'm', mu, cat, ?, men, and door

Extremely clever as Xie Jin, he immediately realized that the pronunciation of the "m" symbol in front of him was "?".

"Jiang Xinghuo, how can there really be a way?" A little consternation rose in Xie Jin's heart.

Xie Jin, who is extremely talented, just followed the audit, and knew better than others how effective this method invented by Jiang Xinghuo would be, and what was so powerful.

Chinese, which is spoken by all.

Most people don't know Chinese characters.

The problem is that I can't read and recognize, so I can't write.

And Jiang Xinghuo's set of "Hanyu Pinyin" directly solves the problem from "reading" to "recognition".

As long as you can read Chinese characters and correspond to this booklet by Jiang Xinghuo, then according to Pinyin, you can find it whether you recognize it or not.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a gentleman to teach them one by one.

For example, the most commonly used "mu" in agriculture, it doesn't matter if you don't know this word, then you always know the pronunciation of the word "mu".

You turn to Jiang Xinghuo's Chinese Pinyin Dictionary, find the word that starts with "m", each word is spelled out according to Hanyu Pinyin, read it again, and you can always find the word "mu", and then you will know how to write this word.

Write it a few times, and if you can't remember it once, you can do it twice or three times. Dozens or hundreds of times, you can always remember it.

"Woe to him, he really taught him to understand."

Thinking about this clearly, cold sweat suddenly flowed down the backbone from Xie Jin's back.
