"I don't know, come on, tell me. [No pop-up novel website]" Wang Ci didn't care about his identity, so he pulled him to sit aside and asked him to tell him about the Australian school. .
Lu Da told me everything about the national school. Wang Ci listened very carefully. He did not ask Lu Da what brothers Lu A and Lu B had studied - Lu Da had never studied, so it was useless to ask. However, Lu Da was very proud to say that his two sons learned Australian knowledge.
"Australian knowledge?" Wang Ci didn't understand for a moment.
"Yes, just like the land modification, how to draw the lines and how to dig the soil, it was all the villain's son Lu Jia who did it."
Lu Da was bragging. In fact, Lu Jia only participated in the surveying and mapping of farmland and water conservancy as an apprentice. Luda put this honor on him out of his father's vanity.
Wang Ci didn't quite believe it - although he didn't understand this Australian knowledge, it certainly couldn't be learned by an illiterate country boy.
"Who are the people who teach?"
"There are elders from Australia and scholars from Ming Dynasty..."
"Are there any scholars from the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, there are quite a few of them. One is a local, his surname is Zhang. I heard he is from Goujiazhuang..."
"It must be Zhang Xingjiao!"
Wang Ci knew this person because Zhang Xingjiao was a registered boy in the county. Although he did not enter school, he fell under the jurisdiction of his county school. Zhang Xingjiao's family was originally quite prosperous, but later he was oppressed by Gou Da and his family was ruined. Because he was short of food, Zhang Xingjiao was caught in the county government office and was beaten with shackles. He had to beg for mercy and was spared his life. After that, there was no news about him for a long time. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a traitor! I think the Kun thief attacked Goujiazhuang as soon as he got to Lu, and he was probably the one who led the way.
Wang Ci thought it was not an exaggeration for him to do this, for he was doing it to avenge his family! Furthermore, the Gou family were not good people to begin with, and their destruction would also remove one of Lingao's evils. But if you continue to be a thief after taking revenge, it will be a big loss. Wang Ci thought of trying to meet him and persuade him not to hang out with the Kun thieves anymore - after all, he could be regarded as Zhang Xing's teacher.
He nodded thinking: "What other scholars are there?"
"I don't know about this little one. I heard that he came from Guangdong."
"Are there any scholars?"
"Probably not. Don't scholars have to stay in their own county to get tuition fees, money, and cold pork collars?"
These words were meant unintentionally, but when Wang Ci heard it, he felt it was sarcastic: Lingao's students had not received it for several years, not to mention the tuition fees, and even the cold pork that was offered during sacrifices. In recent years, whenever there are sacrifices, pig heads are used instead of whole pigs. After the sacrifice, they become the exclusive property of his teachings - to be honest, a pig head is not very good.
He asked perfunctorily: "Do you want to learn to read?"
"Of course, of course, learn to read." As he said, Lu Da took out a small book from his arms, "You want me to learn to read, but I said I don't have the skills or the brains! But he said that everyone You can learn it well. How can you say that there is no distinction between teaching and learning?"
Wang Ci laughed: I didn't expect Australians to know this - the Australians he had come into contact with were some people who spoke vulgarly. However, since they claim to be Chinese people and descendants of the Song Dynasty, it is not unusual for them to read a few Four Books and Five Classics. However, Wang Ci thought that in his contacts with Australians, he did not feel that they understood this. The few times he mentioned the allusions in the Four Books when he spoke, the big boss Wu Nanhai always looked confused.
It seems that he knows a lot, but when he talks, he looks like he has never read a book. I wonder what the knowledge of this Australian is? He flipped through the pamphlet Lu Da gave him, and was very curious. He had seen letters, notices, and newspapers from Australians, but this was his first time reading a book.
The book is printed very simply, with slightly yellow paper, but it is very smooth to the touch. On the cover is the title of the book in regular script, "New National Literacy Textbook Volume 1 (Trial Version)". Wang Ci seemed to understand the title of the book but not quite. I ignored it, opened it and was surprised: this book is so exquisitely printed!
The paper surface is clean, the fonts are all correct, the strokes are of average thickness, and what’s commendable is that the sizes of these characters are exactly the same. There is no ink stain between the words. It looks extremely refreshing.
"Good book!" Wang Ci praised it. Even in the big bookstores in Guangzhou, you can't buy such exquisite books - it is true that Australians make everything exquisitely.
It just feels awkward to hold because the book opens from right to left. The words are still written horizontally from left to right, which is very uncomfortable for a while. Looking further, it turns out that it is a children's book similar to the "Three Character Classic". It also contains ballads and slang, but it is all in common Chinese characters. Wang Ci's disdain couldn't help but increase a bit - after all, he went overseas, mingled with barbarians, and lost the true source of China.
Looking at the content again, the language was vulgar and unintelligible. Wang Ci just shook his head as he looked at it - if this is considered a children's book, it is simply misleading. It is full of vulgar characters. Isn't it ridiculous to write it? Not to mention taking the exam. In his opinion, the only good thing is that no matter whether it is a ballad or a short sentence, there are sentence breaks for reading. It saves the teacher a lot of effort.
When I turned to the front, there was something like a winding ghost drawing. Wang Ci didn't know it and asked, "What is this?"
"I heard from Lu Jia that this is called Pinyin alphabet. It's also a kind of character."
This must be an Australian word. Wang Ci thought.
"... Lu Jia said that when you learn to read characters in school, you should start with these letters first, and you will learn them all, and then you will learn to read them again, and you will be able to recognize them faster - "
"Absurd!" Wang Ci thundered and threw the book to the ground. If you learn Fan characters first and then Chinese characters, isn't that changing Yi to Xia? ! These Australians dare to claim to be Chinese people! A bunch of things that have been forgotten by their ancestors!
Lu Da didn't know why Mr. Wang suddenly became furious and threw the literacy textbook that his son had solemnly handed to him on the ground. He was so panicked that he quickly picked up the book and wiped it.
"Master Wang——"
"You'd better not let your children read this book - it's a mistake for your children, and it's a mistake for your children!" Wang Ci said impassionedly.
Lu Da stared blankly at Wang Jiaoyu, whose face was a little distorted, and wondered if this master was obsessed with phlegm? Why did he suddenly get sick? He didn't dare to speak, so he was so submissive.
Wang Ci was being generous and suddenly remembered that the man in front of him was a mud-legged man with blind eyes. He couldn't understand what he said to him about "misleading people", so he slowed down and said:
"You'd better call your two sons back to farm. You can't read this book."
Lu Da looked at this "Mr. Wang" whom he had always respected in disbelief. In his opinion, Mr. Wang had always been a knowledgeable and kind man. Now that he suddenly said these words, he felt extremely disgusted in his heart.
When Australians teach their children to read, they should not be blind. Is there anything wrong with that? Food, clothing and clothing are all provided by Australians. Even the scholars in the county don't get this treatment.
He made a few perfunctory hums. Wang Ci knew that he was unwilling in his heart, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him at first, but when he thought that Lu Da was the tenant of Xuetian and would have to rely on him for many things in the future, he calmed down and said:
"Lu Da! Everything taught in this book is wrong!" He wanted to explain that the words in it were in common Chinese characters, and the arts and science were not very fluent, but it was really difficult to communicate with an illiterate. After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't tell why.
Lu Da listened impatiently and said, "Since they are all wrong, is Mr. Wang willing to teach his two younger sons the correct knowledge?"
Wang Ci couldn't hear the irony in it, and couldn't help but change his face. He secretly resented: "What a crazy person!" Then he thought about it, he wanted money but no one, and he couldn't even raise the tuition fees for several scholars. Not coming. The other party not only taught, but also provided food and clothing. In comparison, I felt extremely weak and incompetent. I can't help but feel disappointed.
The common people want nothing more than food and clothing. The thief Kun seized on this and confused the people. I am full of knowledge, even if the Master is reincarnated, it will be useless!
Thinking of this, I was extremely discouraged. Wang Ci feebly scolded: "What do you know! Go!" He dragged his steps to the county seat.
Lu Da looked at Wang Jiaoyu's hunched figure walking away, and couldn't help but spit into the ground: "You can stand and talk without pain in your back! What a scumbag scholar, the books have been read into the dog's belly!"
Lu Dacai didn't bother to care whether his son's education was wrong or right. He only knew that his son was well fed, clothed warmly, and learned many things in the national school. Recently, he was teaching everyone how to farm - Is this knowledge fake? Is it knowledge that Shi Yue fainted after reading a lot and no one could understand it?
At this moment, Lu Da's past respect for the scholars in the county school, Wang Jiaoyu, and all the scholars in the county collapsed. He suddenly realized that the knowledgeable people in this world were not just those sour people wearing long gowns and speaking in words that no one could understand. The Australians had another kind of knowledge that was more useful than them.
Wang Ci stumbled back to the county school. The Lingao County School in this time and space was rebuilt on the site of the Song and Yuan County School in the third year of Hongwu. It was rebuilt in the third year of Yongle, and was repaired many times thereafter. However, the last large-scale repair was done in the eighth year of Chenghua. After that, the county school gradually declined.
Although it has declined, the old scale remains. Enter through Lingxing Gate and pass through Jimen, which is Minglun Hall. On both sides are Jinde Zhai and Xiuye Zhai, which are the classrooms of the county school. There are many supporting buildings at the back, as well as rooms used for examinations. In terms of scale, it is also at the forefront of the entire Hainan Island.
The weaving department of the county school is also very large. There are six school masters, two bakers, three disciples and three treasury officials. But this is just a stipulation in the classics. These servants are all silver servants. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the money for hiring servants was levied from the servants' households, but the people were not necessarily used. Therefore, there are only three officers left in the dignified county school! ~!
