Chapter 227 There is a deep meaning in this
Wei Yingluo's face was blushing and bleeding, and her head was about to be buried in her chest, but because her gullies were too shallow, it was impossible to bury them.
Pearl didn't know the cause, but only heard Li Mu say that he was confused. What did this and that, the marquis wanted to train the lady? What does it mean?
But she didn't dare to ask any more, for fear that Li Mu would scold her again.
Li Mu sighed and said, "I don't lack you as a maid in my mansion, and you are clumsy and can't do anything. But the children and craftsmen lack you, who are willing to teach them to read, but you have never been a professor. How can you teach well? Don't think that after reading a teacher's article, you're still far from being a teacher! So, what I mean by training is that I want to train you to become a qualified professor in my mind so that you can teach children and craftsmen to read."
"Look at you, you are young and have dirty thoughts. Don't you feel ashamed? Wei Yingluo!"
Wei Yingluo was shocked by Li Mu's deafening voice of justice. She raised her head to look at him. She felt that Li Mu was bathed in the sunset, shining brightly, and she became much taller, and a sense of reverence arose.
But for some reason, there was still a voice in my heart saying, Wei Yingluo, you didn’t feel wrong. He said the word “training” was intentional, and he wanted to lead you to think in that direction.
Seeing that Wei Yingluo didn't say anything, Li Mu asked sternly again: "Don't know what's wrong?"
Wei Yingluo didn't dare to think about it anymore and hurriedly said, "Yingluo knew she was wrong, so she wouldn't dare to do it in the future."
"This is almost the same." Li Mu snorted, sat back in the wheelchair, and said, "You can't walk, so I can push you to the backyard. I'll teach you a set of literacy."
"Oh..." Wei Yingluo responded and pushed the armrest of the wheelchair, but after pushing it, she didn't push it. She was a daughter-in-law, even if she was in a poor duke's mansion like Wei Zheng, she was still a lady. She had never done a rough job, so how could she get the strength? Pearl had to help together. With the two of them working together, they pushed Li Mu back to the back house.
When they arrived at the door of the back house, there was a threshold. The two girls had no choice. They were hesitating whether to call Li Chongyi to come and help, Li Mu stood up and walked into the room by himself. The two girls looked at him blankly, and Li Mu also looked at them strangely: "Suddenly, it won't be numb, can't you?"
"oh……"
Wei Yingluo was completely troubled and lost her temper. Although she wanted to shout to Li Mu, aren't you just playing tricks on me? But she knew that if she shouted, Li Mu would still have countless words waiting for him. She suddenly felt so tired that she decided not to say anything.
Li Mu sent away the pearl and sat down at the table. He asked Wei Yingluo to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked her to grind the ink. Wei Yingluo looked very good when grinding the ink because she was very serious and knew how to save.
The Wei family is very poor, and it is rare to save some money to buy pens and ink for Wei Yingluo. So if she buys it occasionally, she will be very saving. Although the Zhulu Marquis Mansion is not bad for this thing, Li Mu is still very pleased to see that Wei Yingluo cherishes things very much.
Taking advantage of Wei Yingluo's ink grinding, Li Mu made up his mouth: "The set of literacy I taught you was invented when I was literacy. I have the basis of my current literary talent, and the basis is this literacy. Half a year ago, I was not much different from my children and craftsmen. I couldn't write a word except my own name. My achievements now are enough to prove how exquisite this literacy is, so don't have any doubts, just study it with your heart."
Wei Yingluo nodded obediently. She was too lazy to refute Li Mu because she knew she couldn't win, so she believed whatever Li Mu said.
"The name of this set of literacy is called 'Pinyin'." Li Mu picked up a pen, dipped it ink, and wrote twenty-six letters on the paper. Wei Yingluo had never seen these letters before, and did not recognize each one, waiting for Li Mu to explain.
Li Mu took a deep breath, and his mind echoed with the fear dominated by Li Tai's four calculations when he was teaching Li Tai to ask "Why is this a pronounced 'a'" and said to Wei Yingluo very seriously: "I'm starting to teach you to read these letters now. You can have questions, but hold back the questions. I will read one, and you can follow it and don't ask why, because there is no reason. I'm just stating it. Do you understand?"
Wei Yingluo nodded obediently.
"Good boy," Li Mu saw her cooperation so much, smiled relievedly, pointed at 'a' with his pen and said, "This is 'a'"
Wei Yingluo blinked her eyes and said curiously: "Why does it say 'a'?"
Li Mu held the pen tightly and almost bleeded out of blood! I've already reminded him all, why did I ask! Li Mu glared at Wei Yingluo viciously and pointed to the next letter: "This is pronounced 'bo'..."
When Wei Yingluo saw Li Mu's appearance, she knew that she had said the wrong thing. She pursed her lips tightly and said that she would not say anything. Seeing that Li Mu was still staring at her, she was stunned for a long time, and finally thought about what Li Mu wanted her to do, so she recited a "bo".
"Squeeze"
"Squeeze"
Outside the door, Xiaozhu passed by the door after watering the flowers. He heard the sound in the room and wondered, why did the Marquis boil water in the room? Is the water boiling?
...
Wang Pu returned to the Duke's Mansion of Yongning County and went straight to Wang's study, repeating everything Li Mu said like a bamboo tube.
"Brother! The Marquis said that he would discuss the matter of the carriage, and he would discuss it with the Li family of Zhaojun. We should do what he said. Although we may not be able to win all for our Taiyuan Wang family, we can still do half of it if we work hard!" Wang Pu had been completely brainwashed by Li Mu and became his loyal believer. His eyes were shining in his eyes: "Brother! You must not miss the opportunity, you will never come again! If others take the lead, our Taiyuan Wang family will suffer a great loss! Hurry up and write a memorial and send it to the palace, hurry up!"
"Wait first, wait first..." The more anxious Wang Pu was, the more he was wondering. He had experienced too many things in his life. Even if he couldn't appreciate Li Mu's meaning for a while, he could feel it intuition. There must be something wrong with it. I just don't know how Li Mu lobbyed and fooled his younger brother into this way!
"Brother!"
Wang Pu was so anxious that he jumped straight and said, "Do you think this news came easily? I have been so popular in front of the Marquis these days, and even willing to be a cow and horse. I have gained his trust, so I will tell me! Brother, you can't let me waste my time? In the afternoon, Li Ying of Zhao Jun Li's family will meet with the Marquis. If you talk about carriages and horses, and then talk about the road... The Marquis will tell you casually, we will just do it."
Seeing that the king was still indifferent, Wang Pu was furious and said, "Brother, if you don't write this memorial, I will write it! If the elders in the clan blame me, I will bear it with all my strength!"
"You sit down first!" The king pulled Wang Pu and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with it. Why didn't Li Mu do such a good thing?"
Wang Pu replied on behalf of Li Mu: "Because Your Majesty will not let him reveal the news! If he does it, wouldn't everyone in the world know? Why would Your Majesty wait for a year to have food before doing it?"
Wang frowned and said, "But how can we conclude that there must be food in a year?"
"Brother!" Wang Pu sighed and said, "Didn't you tell you that the factories under the Ministry of Industry are now melting the plowshares of Zhenguan Plow day and night! There are only a few hundred pieces a day, and when they are cultivated next year, they will not be tens of thousands? When the Zhenguan Plow test results, you and I have seen them. With this thing, of course, countless farmland will be cultivated. With more fields, can there be less food? Unless a natural disaster occurs, how can it be so coincidental that it will catch up with next year's natural disaster!"
"Wait, wait..." Wang murmured in a low voice, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I understand, I understand!"
Wang Pu was stunned and said, "Brother, what do you know?"
"Li Mu, Li Mu, you are such a cruel trick!" Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, we are all fooled by Li Mu!"
"What, what does it mean?"
Wang took a deep breath and said, "Li Mu's cunning is far beyond my imagination! Mining and salt industries are all pretexts and illusions! His real killer move is to shake the foundation of our gentry! Brother, think about it, what does our gentry rely on for thousands of years? It is fields! It is grain! It is knowledge! He invented the Zhenguan plow, so that the people could cultivate the fields without plowing oxen, so that the food in our hands depreciates, killing two birds with one stone! He also invented printing techniques and printed books so that the foolish people in the world can recognize words and read. Every step is shaken by the foundation of our gentry. He is not standing on our side, he is still standing on Your Majesty's side, he is the knife in Your Majesty's hand!"
Wang Pu suddenly realized and said, "What should I do? Brother, we have to stop him!"
"How to stop it?" Wang asked back: "Can you not allow the Zhenguan Plow to be promoted, or can the people not allow the people to use the Zhenguan Plow? And the printing technology, the imperial court has even established a printing supervisor. If you say you don't want to give it, you won't give it? What's the reason? Throughout history, people's livelihood has been the top priority. Who dares to stand up and oppose it? If this is the case, how can you block the world's long mouth?"
"What should I do!" Wang Pu said angrily: "Are you just watching his plan succeed? Can't you see the foundation of our gentry be shaken by him?"
The king shook his head again and said, "He may not want to eradicate the roots, otherwise he would not share the mineral and salt profits to us."
Wang Pu was completely confused and said, "Brother, why are you talking so hard? Are you saying he is good or bad? Is he our friend or our enemy?"
