Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 79
Li Qinzai was also taken aback when he was invited out by the sweaty Guanshi Song.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the door for no reason, Li Qinzai's heart sank.

"Peasants... have they finally revolted?"

Li Qinzai looked at the farmers outside the door anxiously, not sure if they were going to sacrifice the head of a clever son of the landlord's family to heaven.

Seeing Li Qinzai coming out, the farmers bowed to him in unison as if they had made an agreement.

Li Qinzai was frightened again, and couldn't help taking a step back.

"What are you thinking?... Ganjingzhuang is not a place outside the law!"

A middle-aged farmer came out, bowed to him again, and said with a simple and honest smile: "Don't be surprised, Mr. Shaolang, we just came to thank Mr. Shaolang. Listen to my son, Mr. Shaolang's noble son taught him some knowledge. There is no way to repay such a great kindness..."

Li Qinzai turned his head to look at Qiao'er behind the door in astonishment.

How can an illiterate dog like myself teach others?

Li Qinzai squeezed out a smile and said, "You guys...recognized the wrong person, right? My dog ​​doesn't know much about other things besides peeing well..."

The farmer gave a smack and said, "How can you admit the wrong person!"

As he said that, he turned his head and looked around, and shouted: "Where's that Guapi baby in the Er family? Get out!"

A six or seven-year-old child in the crowd came out with a runny nose, sucked hard, and the snot retracted into the nasal cavity, which made Li Qinzai frown and worry.

"Melon skin! What Shaolangjun's noble son taught you, recite it!" the farmer shouted.

Guapi Waer was not stage fright either, she immediately opened her mouth and recited: "Li Sun Zhao Qian, Zhou Wu Han Yang..."

After memorizing a dozen or so sentences, he couldn't recite any more. He was obviously a scumbag, and the title of "Guapi Waer" was well deserved.

Zhuanghu smiled when he heard it, and saluted Li Qinzai again, saying: "Although the villain doesn't know what he is memorizing, it must be a profound knowledge. Eight generations of ancestors have never read books, but today they have accumulated great virtues, and they have to meet many people." Mr. Lang and Mr. Noble, have learned great knowledge, and the villain will thank Mr. Shaolang and Mr. Noble on behalf of our ancestors."

After speaking, he bowed and bowed again.

The farmers behind him also saluted and thanked them one after another.

Li Qinzai's cheeks twitched a few times, and he said embarrassingly: "Your Guapiwa memorized "Hundred Surnames", which is not a profound knowledge, but at most an enlightenment study. You don't need to thank me."

Zhuanghu shook his head again and again: "Enlightenment is also learning, and it is a university question. My child can read, and the family's Feng Shui has also changed. Maybe the next generation will be able to get a champion. Everything is thanks to the enlightenment of Mr. Shaolang. .”

Li Qinzai was silent for a moment.

From the expressions of sincere gratitude of the farmers, Li Qinzai gradually realized that people of this age had such awe and humility towards learning.

Even if it is only the enlightenment taught to young children, it is regarded as a god by the farmers and respected extremely.

Such an attitude of reverence for knowledge was unimaginable in previous lives.

Because the information in the previous life is too fast, the popularization of knowledge is wider, and people in the poorest and most remote places can basically read and write. It is hard to see people so awed by knowledge.

But in this day and age, there are really very few scholars.

Because of its rarity, learning and knowledge have been cast a sacred color in the hearts of simple people.

They fear knowledge as they fear a god.

After understanding the thoughts of the farmers, Li Qinzai sighed.

Turning his head to look at Guanshi Song, Li Qinzai said: "Our master paid the money, and the village looked for a piece of land, and the farmers all helped to build a big house, and then invited a few gentlemen from the city to let the young children in the village Come and go to school.”

Song Guanshi bowed and agreed.

The dealers were pleasantly surprised at first, but then their expressions showed hesitation.

Li Qinzai saw everyone's thoughts, so he said with a smile: "Reading does not seek results, nor is it for fame. It just allows children to recognize a few more words and understand some basic sage principles. It will delay the work in the field, so don’t worry.”

The farmers thanked Li Qinzai a thousand times, and saluted Li Qinzai several times. Everyone was grateful to Li Qinzai. Not only that, they also dragged their children over and asked them to bow down to Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai hastily stopped him, teaching some enlightenment knowledge, there is no need to make it so grand.

The dealers are grateful again.

If the original intention of the farmers to let their children study is not to require their children to take the exam, the difficulty is too high and it is basically impossible to achieve.

What they want is for their children to learn some basic knowledge, be able to understand things, know shame, and learn to behave. This is the real reason why farmers let their children study.

Only then did Li Qinzai look at Qiao'er, and said with a smile, "You have become a famous figure in Zhuangzi. I'm surprised, how dare you teach others knowledge as a half-literate person?"

Qiao'er blinked innocently: "Father, Qiao'er didn't teach them, it was when Qiao'er recited hundreds of family names silently, they learned it from the side... Father, shouldn't Qiao'er teach them?"

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Of course it should be taught. Spreading knowledge is always right, but you are not good enough."

"Qiao'er is also studying hard."

"If you want to continue teaching them, you have to work harder than them. You have to learn something new every day, and then use it to teach others the next day. Can you do it?"

Qiao'er nodded vigorously: "It can be done, after Qiao'er taught them, they are more willing to play with me."

Bounced from Frost into the humble yard.

"Girl, there's another big event!" Cong Shuang yelled.

Cui Jie, who was embroidering, shook her right hand, her finger was pricked by the needle again, and a drop of bright red blood dripped onto the embroidery cloth.

"Cong! Shuang!" Cui Jie glared at her angrily, and gritted her teeth.

It has to be said that every frown and anger of the stunning beauty is full of seductive amorous feelings, and the angry Cui Jie also seems to have a special flavor, which is heart-pounding.

"Girl, I'm sorry, this servant didn't do it on purpose..." Congshuang apologized timidly.

Cui Jie looked at the discarded embroidery cloth in her hand, and sighed: "This embroidery is almost finished, but you made a fuss about it, and it was completely discarded. When will we save enough money to leave?"

Congshuang said guiltily: "Next time, this servant will act softly and never scare the girl."

Cui Jie put the embroidered cloth aside and sighed: "Tell me, what happened again?"

Cong Shuang became lively again, and said, "Girl, that dude seems to be stuck in the village and doesn't plan to leave. Not only that, but he also wants to pay for the village school to enlighten the young children in the village."

Cui Jie was startled, and said in surprise: "He is so kind?"

"Yeah, I listened to what the farmers said, and now the farmers are full of praise for that dude, and they are going to praise him as a living Bodhisattva."

After Cui Jie was stunned, she gritted her teeth and said, "The news I have asked people to inquire about these years is not wrong. That dude is a bad breed and has done too many immoral things. He must not be so kind to run a village school. What a bad idea."

Cong Shuang repeatedly echoed, "Hmm! He's a bad guy!"

Then Congshuang hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Girl, I also heard that the servant has compiled an enlightenment knowledge called "Hundred Surnames", and now the children in Zhuangzi can recite it, and the servant can also recite it." back."

"Editing Enlightenment? He actually has such talent?" Cui Jie said with disbelief on her face, "Just memorize it and listen to it."

Congshuang had a good memory, even though Dang had memorized it, he stumbled, but managed to finish it.

Cui Jie became more and more shocked the more she heard it.

Unlike the illiterate peasants, Cui Jie is a young lady from an aristocratic family who has been educated since she was a child.

So she is more aware of the value of this enlightenment reading.

In this era, there are too few books to enlighten children, and the main one is "Thousand Characters", and Cui Jie's enlightenment also started from the Thousand Characters when she was young.

But the Thousand-Character Classic is still a bit esoteric for children, and its content is quite obscure and difficult to understand. Even if children memorize it, they still have a half-knowledge of its content and don't understand its meaning.

But this "Hundred Family Surnames" is undoubtedly much better than the Thousand Characters in terms of content and catchy level, and the enlightenment significance of Hundred Family Surnames is also very clear.

It has only one meaning, that is to let children first learn to read and write when they are enlightened.

The content has no other meaning at all, all are surnames.Adults may not take it seriously, but for children who have just learned to read, the simpler it is, the easier it is to enlighten, and the easier it is to lay a solid foundation for learning.

"Hundred Surnames" is indeed a good thing. It can be said that it redefines the steps and meaning of children's enlightenment.

While Cui Jie was full of admiration, there was only one doubt in her heart.

"It can't be compiled by that dandy! He has absolutely no talent for writing. If he is really talented, it doesn't matter if I marry him!"
