Chapter 575 The spread of learning from the South to the North
"The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken!"
On the playground of the government school, groups of young students are singing songs and jogging in circles. They may not know what the words of these songs mean, but when they sing loudly with their peers, they will feel the enthusiasm in their hearts.
,passionate.
There are more than 20 similar lyrics, all of which are copied inside and outside the school. If the schoolchildren are interested, they can copy them with charcoal on their own boards and recite them day and night.
It doesn't matter if you don't know the words. There will be an extra hour of extra class every day before nightfall in the school to explain these words and sentences. If the students are interested, they can attend the class. If they are not interested, they can go to bed early because this is only an elective course.
Similar elective courses include Suan Jing, etc., and of course the "Principles of Geometry" and other books written by Governor Li himself are also indispensable.
Although it is an elective course, it actually contains higher knowledge information and system logic than the major courses. The purpose is to select students who are interested in learning and have higher intelligence than their peers to enter the next stage.
of teaching.
As for the courses majored in government studies, they have actually changed several times. The first course used was "Thousand Character Classic", but Tiandi Xuanhuang learned a new lesson, and most of the state residents and school children said they had no idea what they had learned.
After all, with their knowledge and experience, it is still difficult for them to understand a thousand-character novel, and they don't need to write fantasy novels to grade them based on this pretentiousness.
Sensing the villagers' need for so-called serious skills and knowledge, the second edition of the literacy textbook used the content of agricultural books on mulberry farming such as "Fish Farming Classic". This was what Li Tai sent to Xiangyang to visit.
Apart from anything else, Nanliang people still have a way of collecting books and studying.
Not to mention these old agricultural books from the Han and Jin Dynasties, even the "Qi Min Yao Shu", which was newly published by Jia Sixie of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and which Li Tai searched for several times but found no trace of, has some manuscripts and chapters circulating in Xiangyang. And it is said that it is spread far and wide.
In Jiankang City in Nanliang, a complete copy of "Essential Techniques for Qi Min" already exists.
However, these dignitaries in Nanliang were only keen on collecting books and were not interested in farming. Although it was exciting to collect various books, most of them were shelved regardless of whether they were useful or not. What was really studied and used efficiently were those metaphysical theories.
The use of this second edition of the textbook was lively for a few days at first, and even some state residents came to the school to join in the fun, but its shortcomings were still revealed after a few days.
Because these students are basically completely illiterate and cannot read a single big character, it is still very difficult for them to be literate and learn to accept text passages with a huge amount of information from the beginning. Therefore, these agricultural books have also become optional content.
, used as an advanced course for schoolchildren.
Up to now, the government schools have finally determined the textbooks for literacy enlightenment, namely "Songs of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms" and "Three Hundred Farmers' Proverbs".
For example, "a plow of rain in spring will bring a harvest of ten thousand tons of grain in autumn", "the wind will not move in the summer, but the frost will come late", etc. These farmer's proverbs are originally summaries of farmers' production and are passed down orally. Besides being catchy, they describe what
The content is also familiar to these farmers’ children.
Some have heard their fathers often recite it, while others have never heard of it, so they will remember it carefully in their hearts. When they return home, they will sing and talk in front of their parents and villagers, and then write it on the ground with branches. They will definitely win the hometown prize.
People praised it and the scene was exciting to think about!
In recent days, Li Tai would visit the school when he had free time. He would listen to the children reciting, look at the charcoal graffiti inside and outside the school building, and see some naughty and stupid school children who were punished to stand outside the school building while smearing.
Reciting peasant songs with tears in his eyes, he felt very happy in his heart. These scumbags must be severely punished!
The scale of the government school is not small. All the school-age children in Jingzhou gather here. Only about half of the occupied building area is used, and the rest is still waiting for other uses.
Li Tai opened a printing workshop in Fuxue, but it has not officially started printing books yet.
Because Jingzhou has been in desolation for many years, although it is close to Xiangyang, the atmosphere of worshiping Buddhism is not strong and there are not many Buddhist temples. Therefore, it is difficult to directly confiscate the Buddhist temples and then develop the production of engraving and printing ink, so we have to wait for Guanzhong to send some
Craftsmen came over and built these supporting industries before they could officially print books.
Of course, the most important thing to start the printing industry is book knowledge. Guanzhong is a cultural desert. The printing workshop Li Tai opened in Shangyuan before mainly relied on official document printing to hone his skills. He accumulated a lot of technology, but the printing
However, the books are very limited. Now that I have arrived in Jingzhou, it is of course not easy to continue to fool around.
During most of the Southern Dynasties, Xiangyang had the image of a border town with many powerful martial sects, but its cultural atmosphere was much stronger than that of Mianbei or even Guanzhong Chang'an.
In just a few months, Li Tai had people collect thousands of volumes of books from the Xiangyang market, but the ones that were truly high-end and high-quality were mainly gifted by King Xiaoqi of Yueyang.
This guy made money extravagantly and was a traitor to the enemy, but he was also a man of culture. When he came to Yongzhou to take office, he had as many as 5,000 or 6,000 volumes of books with him. He also gave Li Tai hundreds of copies of calligraphy works by celebrities from the Southern Dynasties, including the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi.
Post.
So Li Tai built a library in the school to collect and store books collected from Xiangyang and other places, and assigned the extremely qualified position of library administrator to his father, Li Xiao.
Li Xiao is also very satisfied with this position. He had no ambition to become an official. He started farming and studying to support himself in his early years in Qinghe, Hebei Province. He was previously called into the palace by King Yueyang to hold a similar job. Now he is sitting in the library built by his son.
I was constantly reviewing and sorting out the books collected from all over the place, and my life was quite comfortable.
Sometimes, when he was fascinated by reading, Li Xiao would simply stay in the library. When he was thirsty and hungry, he would go straight to the canteen of the state capital to have a meal with the schoolchildren.
On this day, after inspecting the school, Li Tai went to the library to ask his father to go back home for dinner. The father and son were busy with their own affairs and had not seen each other for more than ten days. Li Tai also suddenly felt that this was a bit unfilial, so he stopped by.
Come over and take a look.
When he came here, he saw Yan Zheng and several other guards who were assigned here digging holes in the yard to transplant pines and cypresses. These trees not only decorated the yard, but also isolated the noise, because it was already midsummer when the mansion was completed.
, missed the best time to transplant trees, so I waited until autumn to do it again.
"Master Lang is here!"
After Yan Zheng saw Li Tai, he shouted loudly that this boy had been with him since he was rescued by Li Tai from Longyou. Later, Li Xiao learned that this boy was actually a descendant of his benefactor Yan Xin, so he took it from Li Tai.
I want to bring this kid here and plan to educate him myself.
However, looking at Yan Zheng's messy hakama, his head and face covered with dirt and sweat, he must have been fighting with those teenagers in the school, which shows that the results of this education are really limited.
Li Tai waved his hand to stop the shouts of greetings from the guards. He raised his finger and pointed at the library with a questioning expression. When several people nodded in confirmation, he slowly walked in.
The first floor of this library is a lobby for receiving lectures, but the students in the school are obviously not good enough to come here to listen to lectures, and Cui Qian and others are busy with official duties and rarely have time to visit here, so it seems
Somewhat empty.
Li Tai bypassed the main hall and walked into the living room on the side. As soon as he saw it, he saw several volumes of documents placed on the desk, and his father Li Xiao was lying on his side on the couch behind the desk, closing his eyes and taking a nap.
Hearing the rustling sound of Li Tai flipping through books, Li Xiao woke up. When he saw his son arriving, he sat up on the couch and said with a smile: "Why do you have time to come to the school today? I heard from Shi Xun the day before yesterday."
If you said you didn't return from your southern tour, is it because something happened in the south?"
"There are some changes, but they are not big."
Li Tai went south for inspection a few days ago because Liu Zhongli, the governor of Nanliang Sizhou who was in charge of Anlu in Han Dynasty, was ordered to lead his troops east. He wanted to see what was going on in Han Dynasty and whether there were any opportunities, so he arranged relevant investigations.
The exploration mission lasted less than two days before returning.
He knew that his father had no interest or insight into these strategic plans, so he said no more. He pointed at the annotations made by his father in the book and asked with a smile: "Aye's annotations on "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" are the first historical records.
Zhi? I heard that the Fan family’s native place is in Nanyang. If we investigate more carefully, there may be descendants in the village who are deeply influenced by his studies, and we can discuss it with Aye!"
When Li Xiao heard this, he sighed and said, "When you were young, you were taught by your elders, and how much did you learn from me? The Fan family has a long lineage. Even if you visit this hometown, you must have different lines.
Two categories.”
After hearing this, Li Tai's face became embarrassed again. Why do you think Fan Ye and his family brought me with them?
He cursed in his heart, seeing that Aye's room was also a bit messy, so he added: "Yan Zheng is a rough young man, and he can barely take care of himself. It is better to ask the state government to send two maids to come over, so that Aye can live well."
It can be more comfortable and appropriate.”
"No, no, no, Yan Zheng is already a little noisy here, don't let other people come to disturb my peace!"
After hearing this, Li Xiao shook his head and waved his hands in rejection. While putting away his manuscripts, he said with hope: "I heard you said before that it was possible to welcome the Guandong family. How do you know now? Aye
I’m not urging you, but I know that you are busy with work here, and you have to pay attention to other things and it will inevitably strain your mind. Since your brother is free in Chang’an, why don’t we two do this?”
Li Tai knew that his father missed his family, but after all, there were too many restrictions and dangers in his activities in enemy territory. Li Yunxin had been waiting for more than a year, and he had just stabilized in Jinyang City not long ago. He still needed to smuggle personnel.
Work hard and especially wait for the right time.
So he comforted his father and said: "Only those who can do things can get twice the result with half the effort. Both Aye and I care too much, and caring will lead to chaos. If we can't restrain ourselves and act rashly and let others notice, it will ruin things. Aye, you
Don’t worry, my mother and I have all moved to Jinyang, which is the place where my tribe once roamed. If we stay here for a while, good news will come back!"
