"Where is your city, junior brother?" Cai Yan stood tall and looked at Pingyang City in the distance, his gentle tone slightly revealing some curiosity and admiration.
"So it is." Fei Qian did not point out the inappropriate wording in Cai Yan's words. Although Pingyang City has not been officially included in the territory of the Han Dynasty, it was transformed by Fei Qian bit by bit, so it can be regarded as
It is not wrong for Cai Yan to say that it is his own achievement.
Cai Yan looked at it as if he were appreciating an exquisite artifact or a wonderful calligraphy and painting. He nodded and said, "Well, it's really beautiful."
Fei Qian couldn't help but smile. It seems that women are the same in all eras. Everything in the world is divided into two types: beautiful and not beautiful...
Since leaving Chang'an, Fei Qian has been arranging the itinerary of the Cai family and his daughter. Not long after Cai Yong left Chang'an after receiving the credential, Fei Qian's personnel in Chang'an approached the Cai family and obtained the agreement with Cai Yan.
Contact, and then taking advantage of the turmoil in Chang'an's market, many people basically did not pay attention to the Cai Mansion. Cai Yan was simply picked up from Chang'an and escorted all the way, and finally arrived in Pingyang today.
But the strange thing is that now that he has arrived in Pingyang, Cai Yan is not willing to enter the city. He just says that he is tired from the journey and will go to Taoshan Academy after a short rest. Although Fei Qian feels a little surprised, since Cai Yan said so, he
She is.
At this time, the fields outside Pingyang City have been harvested, leaving only a short section of crop residues in the fields, waiting to be turned back into the soil to become nutrients for the fields when they are plowed again next spring.
.
"Sometimes..." Cai Yan said lightly, his voice was like a clear spring in the mountains. If you don't pay attention, it might just flow past your ears softly, "...I... would feel...
These seedling stumps are nothing compared to..."
"Ah? What?" Fei Qian couldn't react for a moment.
Cai Yan said: "The bulrushes in Zepo can still be woven into seats, and the remaining crops can be used to feed the fields. But I...it seems that apart from reading more books, I have no other skills..."
ha?
Is this one of the worries of female doctors?
Fei Qian smiled hoarsely: "Senior sister, a book is worth thousands of gold. You have read so many books. To say that you are a priceless treasure, senior sister, is to underestimate you! If you have a little bit
There was an accident and half of my hair was lost. Not to mention that the master wants to settle a score with me. I guess there are many people all over the world beating their chests and stamping their feet, in agony."
When Cai Yan heard this, he couldn't hold it back. He laughed out loud, then covered it with his hands and said, "Junior brother is talking nonsense again. I...how can I be so valuable..."
Interrupted by Fei Qian, Cai Yan seemed to be in a better mood and did not continue the topic.
"I have something I want to trouble Senior Sister for help with..." Fei Qian said. Cai Yong was in charge of the academy's grand ceremony, so naturally he had a lot of time to arrange to manage the affairs of the academy, while Cai Yan was bored on Peach Mountain alone, and
Although returning to a life of reading and dictating was in line with Cai Yan's temperament, it was overkill.
Besides, find something for Cai Yan to do to distract this artistic young woman, so that she won't be nostalgic for the past and looking for trouble like she did just now...
"What's going on?" Cai Yan turned his head and looked at Fei Qian.
"On Peach Mountain, it is not only a place for students from surrounding counties to study, but I also want to give military children and ordinary people a chance to read, so I want to compile a relatively simple and easy-to-learn literacy book. After much thought
, only senior sister can do this..." Fei Qian said.
Fei Qian originally asked Huang Cheng to teach the low-level non-commissioned officers in the army. The effect is gradually showing. Now many soldiers no longer know nothing. After clearly understanding some basic numbers and words, they are more familiar with the army.
The number of scribes required was greatly reduced, which greatly prevented the infiltration of nobles into the army and laid a shallow foundation for the next step of army restructuring.
But now Huang Cheng has been transferred to Huguan, and the military training has been temporarily handed over to Xu Shu. However, Xu Shu also shoulders the responsibility of planning and related strategic planning, and even takes charge of some government affairs. The matter is also very heavy and there is no way to spare it.
How much time does it take to teach at the military officer school?
Therefore, Fei Qian wanted to publish such a book, and then he did not need Xu Shu or Cai Yan to teach him. He only needed to find one or two ordinary students and follow the book. It was like the Three Character Classic and Qianzi Jing in later generations.
Ziwen...
But the problem is that Fei Qian doesn't remember much of the contents of the Three-Character Classic or the Thousand-Character Classic, not to mention that there are many things in the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic that are not suitable for the Han Dynasty.
Because many of the things exemplified in the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic have not happened yet...
If Cai Yong were to compile it, according to Cai Yong's habits, he might unknowingly go in the direction of elegance, and finally compile a book called "Four Images". Cai Yan is undoubtedly the best person to compile such a book.
Cai Yan blinked, obviously interested in this matter: "Junior brother, are you talking about the book of Mengxue? Isn't there the "Shi Zhou Chapter"? Or "Cangjie Chapter", "Ai Li Chapter", and "Bo Xue Chapter" can also be used
Ah, my father also wrote an "Encourage to Learn" chapter, and the "Emergency Chapter" is also good, so why write a new one?"
this……
Fei Qian searched his memory for a long time, but he didn't have much impression of these books that Cai Yan kept in his family. In the Han Dynasty, there were so many enlightenment books?
But now that he has said it, Fei Qian can only go down and circle back in a serious manner: "These are all good, but they are all clan studies, and it is a bit inconvenient to take them out directly. Also, for ordinary people,
It’s a bit too difficult to pronounce, and the number of words is also a bit too much. It’s best to have about a thousand words, so that it’s easy to learn and teach.”
After listening to Fei Qian's words, Cai Yan didn't doubt him. After thinking for a while, he nodded slightly and said, "What junior brother said seems to make sense... I wonder what kind of article is more appropriate in junior brother's mind?
"
"Hmm..." Fei Qian thought for a while, and then said according to the words of the thousand-character text in his memory, "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive. The sun and the moon are waxing, the stars are arranged. The cold comes and the summer comes, the autumn harvests and the winter hides..."
"It sounds good." Cai Yan smiled, and then urged Fei Qian to continue reading.
Fei Qian smiled dryly and said sheepishly: "Well... these are the only words I have to say..."
"..." Cai Yan glared at Fei Qian, and then said after a short while, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Suddenly having the next thing to do, Cai Yan seemed to have forgotten the sadness just now, and said that he had rested and was going to Taoshan, otherwise his father would be anxious...
Fei Qian naturally escorted Cai Yan into the carriage, then got on his horse and followed him to the side of the carriage, heading to the academy together.
"Junior brother..." Cai Yan suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage slightly, revealing half of his face and said.
Fei Qian responded, then rode closer: "Senior sister, what's the matter?"
Cai Yan's eyes seemed to be looking at Fei Qian, or looking into the distance through Fei Qian. He seemed a little confused. There seemed to be something flashing in his eyes. After a long time, he suddenly smiled indifferently, like a spring flower blooming: "You know what?
, I have walked this road before..."
Cai Yan also arrived in Pingyang... Well... I know what you want to say... Well, the weather is not good today...
