I never thought that the wind of the Three Kingdoms was still there, Bai Song felt a little calmer, and he was more determined to talk to Chen Lao.

Surrounded by three students, Bai Song only said that one day he could still hear about the Three Kingdoms.

Then the little scholar came back and asked: "Bai Gongzi, Elder Chen, please talk about it inside." ”

Entering the backyard of the book club, Bai Song felt that this book club was more like a school, with a square courtyard at the back, which was large enough to accommodate more than 100 people in the open air.

Surrounded by verandahs on all sides, connecting several large and small rooms, there is a pool of clear water in the center, with catkins and flying flowers floating in the water, and koi playing under the water. In it, there is a kind of elegant wind in front of people, and the fine stones on the ground are paved, and it is a little awkward to step on.

In the corner of the open-air courtyard, an old man who was a little rickety was wielding a hoe, looking at his age and doing labor, he felt that his body would fall apart if he was not careful.

"Taigong, Bai Gongzi has arrived." The little scholar shouted softly.

The old lady stopped the hoe in his hand, looked back at Bai Song, saw Bai Song, and waved to the little scholar.

The little scholar bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Seeing each other today, Chen Lao did not have the anger he had seen in the past, he knew that Bai Song was speaking in court for the demon girl in his mouth, and he also knew that he was the owner of Donglai Restaurant, and he wrote banned books such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with one hand, but at this moment, when he saw Bai Song, the other party did not show the kind of anger that Bai Song thought.

At this time, Chen Lao was closer to the appearance of Wensheng as rumored by the outside world.

Old Chen stood in place with his hands in his hands, without any expression on his face, looking Bai Song up and down.

Bai Song didn't speak, and waited for the other party to look at it enough before giving it up.

"Uninvited? Why? ”

"I just want to ask, why does Chen Lao want to ban books?"

Old Chen smiled: "It is rumored that you are quite good at business, but the old man has only banned a book, so you can't think of any other way, so you have to come to the door to ask the old man for advice?" ”

"If it's just to make money, the younger generation has a way in their hearts, so naturally they won't take the initiative to communicate with Chen Lao. However, the younger generation feels that the value of a book is far more than making money, its significance is greater than imagined, and there will be more beneficial things to the world in the world, and it is a pity to be banned in this way. ”

"What's the point of a mere script? Letting such a book be circulated in the world will only make the students of the world forget Confucius and Mencius and the mean, and forget the roots left by their ancestors. ”

Old Chen's brows furrowed, as if he was not interested in such a topic.

"Just a script?" Bai Song paused slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Then Old Chen has ever seriously watched the Three Kingdoms?" ”

"How have you seen it, but what if you haven't seen it?"

"If Chen Lao has seen it, he should naturally understand that the people of the world like it. Literature only has different categories, there is no distinction between high and low, and the script also has the value of the script. Old Chen, you have been teaching all your life, don't you feel that your life is less happy? ”

"There is no end to learning in the sea, and studying is asceticism, how can you talk about happiness?"

"But how many students in this world are willing to study as hard as Chen Lao all his life? Although the Three Kingdoms are banned at the moment, how many students put their minds on the Four Books and Five Classics? Whether they will discuss it in private or not, I believe that Chen Lao knows best in his heart. ”

Chen Lao's brows furrowed, he naturally knew that the students of the book club would still discuss the topic of the Three Kingdoms in private, and no matter how they controlled it, they couldn't solve it.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"I just came to give Chen Lao some teaching advice."

"What advice?"

"Edutainment."

"Edutainment?"

Chen Lao read through ancient books, but he had never heard the vocabulary of edutainment.

"Edutainment is to infiltrate the content of propaganda and ideological education into entertainment activities, convey educational significance from activities, understand ancient and modern etiquette, and make students like learning in a happy way.

People reject pain and accept happiness, and no one stipulates that learning must be suffering. Books are dead, people are alive, and Mr.'s work is not limited to teaching by word and deed, but also by teaching methods and methods. ”

"......" Chen Lao moved his steps and slowly sat on the stone bench on the side, although he had never heard such a statement, but after thinking about it, he also felt that there was some truth.

In today's school, most of the students have no intention of studying, which has always been a depression in Chen Lao's heart.

The reason why he was angry and banned the Three Kingdoms was because he saw that the students were talking about it in and out of class.

The Three Kingdoms, Chen Lao has also seen it himself, and although he thinks that it is a novel, he has to admit that this Three Kingdoms chapter back article is different from the three popular scripts in the market, and it can be seen that the author has quite a literary foundation.

Bai Song saw that Chen Lao was pondering and knew that there was a play, so he continued: "Chen Lao, if you can adapt to the preferences of students and tell more things other than textbooks, maybe it can arouse students' desire to learn. Moreover, everything in this world contains truth, and teaching is more conducive to students to discover life, and often inadvertently find that the harvest is far better than books. ”

Old Chen took a deep breath, looked up at Bai Song, got up and nodded reluctantly: "Edutainment, the old man remembers, and it should be decided at his discretion." ”

Chen Lao was able to say this, and Bai Song's heart was also relieved.

As he thought, an old man like Chen Lao is just pedantic, and he will only attack the Three Kingdoms with a heart full of hatred for iron and steel, as long as this person changes his inner thoughts, many things can be solved.

Sure enough, today's trip went far smoother than expected.

Bai Song arched his hand and prepared to say goodbye, and did not forget to take out the prepared drawings before leaving.

"Elder Chen, after talking about the benefits of entertaining and educating for so long, I should also show you more practical things."

Chen Lao was still thinking about the entertaining thing, looking at the drawings that Bai Song took out, squinting his eyes for a while, but he didn't see what was painted on them.

Bai Song explained: "This is movable type printing, and improving the printing technology of Shangxian Books in this way can greatly improve printing efficiency and reduce printing costs. ”

"Movable Type Printing ......"

Chen Lao presided over the Shangxian Book Society, which was an official printing institution in Youzhou, so he was very familiar with printing.

In the early Tang Dynasty, printing was still in the embryonic period of engraving printing, and even engraving printing was not completed.

Bai Song's paper movable type printing technique was taken out, and with a little bit of old age, the other party immediately understood the intention of the drawings and the principle of movable type printing.

The more Chen Lao looked at it, the more frightened he became, this method is used for printing, which is too different from the ancient method, and the efficiency is not much improved.

With the improvement of printing technology and the reduction of the cost of books, it became easier to proselytize.

Not only can the book spread further, but also the scholars who could not afford to buy books in the past can have books to read.

The benefits are incomparable.

Chen Lao held the drawings so excitedly that his old face turned red, and he trembled and praised again and again: "Okay! All right...... With this movable type printing, why worry about preaching and teaching? White ......"

Chen Lao was about to change his previous attitude and talk to Bai Song about other things, but he saw that Bai Song was no longer in the courtyard and did not know where to go.

As soon as Bai Song left, a person came from the alley behind the courtyard, and it was the King of Shu holding a string of Buddhist beads.

Li Zhan was still smiling, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Chen Lao was very excited, and he was overjoyed, which was a rare thing.

"Old Chen, how can you be happy?"

"Brother Li, come here! The old man got the treasure today! ”

Li Zhan was really curious, put away the things in his heart, and walked over quickly.

The two of them sat opposite each other on the stone table in the courtyard and looked at the drawings on the table.

Li Zhan didn't understand printing, and he didn't know what it was after reading it for a long time, so he couldn't help frowning, and looked at Chen Lao in surprise, hoping that the other party would give an answer.

Chen Lao has not been so happy for many years, his face is ruddy, he is holding his beard, and the old god is pointing to the drawings on the ground: "This is movable type printing!" ”

"Huh? Movable type printing? ”

"This method is really a stroke of genius, and it is exquisite! My brother has been trapped in this bookstore for decades, dealing with the printing machines in the bookstore all day, but he has never thought of replacing the engraving with a single word that can be put together at will. This engraving seems to become complicated, but it is once and for all, and there is no need to be like a book and a version in the past, which greatly improves the printing efficiency and greatly reduces the printing cost. As long as we make good use of this method and spread it all over the world, everyone can have books and everyone can study in the future, which is the way to prosper the country! ”

After listening, Li Zhan was different from Chen Lao's excitement, the key was that he didn't understand the printing technology, and he couldn't understand the meaning of this movable type printing.

In Li Zhan's view, the importance of today's door-to-door matter is far more important than a printing technique.

Li Zhan didn't answer, and after being quiet, he talked about today's events: "According to the secret report, the demon girl of the Yichun Courtyard is indeed a member of the Holy Lotus Sect. ”

When Old Chen heard this, his face instantly calmed down.

Regarding the matter of the Holy Lotus Sect, Elder Chen also listened to what Li Zhan said.

The previous incident suspected that the demon girl of Yichun Courtyard was a member of the Holy Lotus Sect, so they forced each other many times to see how much power there was behind the demon girl?

Now that it has been confirmed, there is no need to hesitate.

Chen Lao said in a deep voice: "Since it has been confirmed, why should the prince come here?" Ordered someone to capture the demon girl, why do you need to interrogate? Just kill it. ”

"Just a woman, why bother? Behind that woman, the Holy Lotus Sect Envoy was the target of this king. ”

"Holy Messenger?"

"The Holy Lotus Sect's new Holy Envoy of the Northern Regions, the general leader of the entire territory north of the Tang Dynasty, if this person is not removed, this king will not be able to sleep and eat."

"Then who is the Holy Envoy of the Northern Regions?"

"The jury is still out, but there is one person who is very suspicious."

"Who?"

"Donglai Restaurant Bai Song!"

"Bai Song?" Chen Lao was stunned for a moment, but he shook his head again and again unexpectedly, "No, no...... This person would never be a member of the White Lotus Sect. ”

This time, the King of Shu was stunned, no one said that Bai Song was impossible, and it would not be Chen Lao's turn.

This Chen Lao and Bai Song don't deal with each other, I felt that Chen Lao hated that person before, why did his attitude change in a blink of an eye?

Chen Lao pinched the drawings in his hand and sighed with some emotion: "Although that kid is arrogant, this volume of movable type printing was created by him, and he also told the elder brother that a set of teaching theories that are entertaining and educational, which are all good things that are beneficial to the people's livelihood, and the disciples of the Holy Lotus Sect will never do such a thing." ”
