The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 162 The second uncle came back with the letter

It is not a good job to lead an apprentice. In order to share the teaching tasks, Song Yingkui planned to use all the craftsmen from the Textile Research Institute as teaching assistants.In this way, after the normal teaching tasks were carried out, she was still too busy. In the end, she had no choice but to let Li Guoqian be the class teacher of the apprentices to manage the daily teaching activities of the apprentices.

After a month of intensive literacy work, the apprentices’ daily teaching was divided into two parts.Every morning, I learn basic tool-making techniques from the craftsmen of the Textile Research Institute, and spend an hour in the afternoon learning literacy and arithmetic.If Song Yingkui is free, he will take an hour to teach them. If there is no time, Li Guoqian will review the learning tasks that have been taught.

Therefore, Li Guoqian's job became more important. She had to listen to Song Yingkui's lectures with the students, write down the lecture content, and arrange for the apprentices to study when Song Yingkui was not around.

"You can't do this job alone. The two teachers sent by the school will also take part in taking notes when I teach. Then you can combine the lesson plans I made with their records into one So that I can teach the children to study by themselves while I am busy with other things." After clarifying the method of teaching, Song Yingkui specifically explained to Li Guoqian how to be a good class teacher. She and the two school teachers are now part of the teaching assistant team. member.

At the beginning, Song Yingkui tended to find someone from the teachers in the school or his own secretary to be the apprentice's assistant head teacher.As a result, every one of these people can take charge.They have neither been exposed to mechanical matters, nor are they familiar with the simplified Chinese characters and Arabic numerals they use in teaching. The lecture content is like a chicken talking to a duck.

Fortunately, Li Guoqian, who had worked as an assistant secretary at the Textile Research Institute for a period of time, was relatively spiritual and knew a lot about machinery. In the process of communicating with him, he became familiar with simplified Chinese characters and Arabic numerals.Especially in the application of Arabic numerals, it can seamlessly switch the characters used by Dazheng to Arabic characters.Can take on this part of the work.

"Sir, I'm thinking of making a book that compares the white characters and algebraic notations you use when teaching with the characters used by our great Zheng. This will also make it easier for apprentices, craftsmen, and gentlemen in the school to translate and read. What do you think? "In the process of contacting Song Yingkui, Li Guoqian developed a strong curiosity about the words and mathematical symbols he used.

It is said that this person should be an illiterate master, but why can the white characters he uses actually form a system of their own, and can almost be compared with the Dazheng characters without affecting the expression at all.There are some white characters in use among the people in Dazheng, but not so many that they completely replace the official characters. However, Song Yingkui knows so many white characters. Could it be that he figured it out in his own mind? ?
There is a kind of person who is born with knowledge and intelligence, and City Lord Song is afraid that he is this kind of person!Li Guoqian even imagined the reason why Song Yingkui figured out these white characters. It must be that his family was too poor to be literate at that time, so he occasionally learned some white characters from local craftsmen, and then he slowly figured it out on his own, and figured it out without a teacher. The whole set of white letters comes out.As for using the arithmetic notation used by people in the Western Regions, he probably learned about it accidentally and kept it in mind.Not to mention, the number symbols used by people in the Western Regions for arithmetic are indeed easier to use than Dazheng's direct use of words or calculations.

"Well! The characters I use are not white characters, they are simplified characters. Since you are willing to compile a comparison book, it is also a good thing. After you compile it, bring it to me for proofreading. After the proofreading is correct, I will arrange for it to be printed and used as an apprentice class. Use the standard textbook." You just wrote it in white!Really can't speak.But having said that, it is indeed necessary to compile a dictionary of simplified characters and Dazheng official characters.In the future, maybe I will have to learn simplified Chinese characters all over my territory.

Teaching disciples, focusing on industrial and agricultural production and training troops, since the fourth year of Jingli, Song Yingkui felt that his life had become much more rhythmic, and his life seemed to be more fulfilling and meaningful than during the Dazheng period.In Dazheng, it is probably difficult to live such a life of complete independence, stability and struggle!From this point of view, the arrival of the Xifan people may not be all bad things.

Dazheng, for himself and the people within Yungu's sphere of influence, is it already a thing of the past?Hey, it’s really not the case!In mid-April, news came from Yungu City, which was under construction, that a man who claimed to be the second uncle of the city lord wanted to cross the border to Shiping Pass with a dozen followers.Second uncle?Didn't he go to the capital to stay on guard?Why did you come to Yungu again?Song Yingkui, who was confused about the situation, quickly sent his second brother to take people to Yungu to see what was going on.

After Song Yingfang went to Yungu, she brought her second uncle's family and their entourage to Shipingguan.

"Uncle? Why did you return to the fifth camp? My uncle said, didn't you go to Luoyang, the capital, to guard the official position?" After meeting his second uncle in the city lord's palace, Song Yingkui asked him curiously.Judging from his expression and attire, it seems that his life has not been very good in the past year or so, and he has lost the elegance he had when he was a zhaomoguan.

"Hey! It's not easy to live in Luoyang City. I have been unemployed for almost a year since I came to Luoyang last year. Seeing that it is not an option to stay like this, the Chaozhong Lifanyuan posted a list again and said it wanted to recruit people. The official went to Wuying and other places to win over the remnants and forces for the imperial court's use, so I took the initiative to apply and asked for orders." The second uncle told the story of his coming to Wuying with a frustrated look on his face.

Please order me to go to Wuying and other old places to win over the survivors and forces?What does this mean?Could it be that it was at this time that Dazheng remembered that he had some use in waiting for the survivors?Are you thinking of trying to win over? "Uncle, I sound a little confused. Do you want to elaborate?"

"Kuiwa, I came here this time to bring you a good thing. The imperial court has officially appointed you as the military commander of the fifth battalion, with the right to know all matters related to the military and prefecture of the fifth battalion. You are a fifth-rank official. This position is among the most important in the court. You can be regarded as a high-ranking official!" After speaking, the second uncle took out an official letter from his arms and handed it to Song Yingkui.

Picking up the official document, I took a rough look at it and vaguely recognized that the content inside was similar to what my second uncle said.There is also a confession related to the second uncle, which seems to be the general judge of the fifth battalion army.What's more funny is that since the official position has been granted, there is no specific place to be managed?
"Uncle, I am not under the control of Dazheng now. This document is just a blank piece of paper. It might as well be used by the people of Xifan to appoint me as the leader of the fifth battalion."

"You little kid, why are you so ungrateful? It is a great grace for the imperial court to appoint you as a high-ranking official of the fifth rank, but you say it is not as useful as for a local feudal lord to appoint you. How can you say such a thing without a king or a country?" Seeing that Song Yingkui didn't care about the official document, not only did he throw it aside, but he also made rude remarks. The second uncle couldn't help but take up the airs of his elders and lecture him!
