Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 182 The Genuine Three Character Classic

It was already evening, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already returned to Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Biao led Fang Xiaoru to Qianqing Palace to ask for an audience.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Father."

Zhu Biao and Fang Xiaoru were greeted respectively.

"Excuse me."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at them, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

After he saw Fang Xiaoru last time, he praised him a few times and rushed him back. At that time, Zhu Biao intended to explain to Fang Xiaoru and made him go back. Now that he has brought someone here again, is he still going to defend him? intercede?

When the two of them stopped and stood still, Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled and asked calmly: "Biao'er, it's so late, why do you want to see us?"

"Father, this is Junior Brother Fang's new article. I think it is quite wonderful, so I specially brought it for Father to read!"

Zhu Biao took out this article by Fang Xiaoru and handed it over.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, but finally took it and patiently opened it and took a look.

However, when he saw the contents clearly, he let out a light sigh of surprise.

The content of the proposition written above is quite different from the views he responded to when he met with Fang Xiaoru a few days ago.

"You wrote this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fang Xiaoru.

Naturally, Fang Xiaoru would not take credit for it. He bowed humbly and said, "Your Majesty, most of the above views were expressed by Mr. Li Wei and Mr. Li. Wan Sheng just compiled and supplemented them and wrote this article."

"Oh? Really?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Everything about being born late is true!" Fang Xiaoru said.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

Does this guy know how to govern a country?Not bad, it can be used as a heirloom for our old Zhu family in the future!

But thinking about Li Wei's situation at this time, he shook his head secretly. Now that Li Wei has offended all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, it will be difficult for this treasure to be passed on!

I can’t pull it out, I really can’t pull it out!

"Father, although these are what Li Wei said, Junior Brother Fang's article is indeed wonderful. I feel that Junior Brother Fang's talent is enough to serve as an official." Zhu Biao said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly after hearing this. He had also read the content of this article. Fang Xiaoru compiled Li Wei's words into an article and thought about it himself. He knew very well the virtues of Li Wei. Such a rich and complete article That kid definitely can't do it.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed: "Well, that's not bad. Then let's go to the Hanlin Academy and become a lecturer."

Zhu Biao's face lit up, and he was about to ask his junior brother to thank him, but Fang Xiaoru suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, I am a late student who realizes that my knowledge is shallow. I still want to study in Minghuang Academy for some time. I hope your Majesty will allow it."

He also wanted to find an opportunity to ask Li Wei again what technology was and whether it could really help the Ming Dynasty achieve the goal of people cultivating a hundred acres of land and producing ten stones of grain per mu.

Zhu Jun, the youngest and the youngest, all looked at him in surprise. They all knew that although Fang Xiaoru looked serious and dignified on the outside, he was actually a little arrogant on the inside. After all, he was still a young man at this time.

But now, it is rare that he can give up the opportunity to become an official and is willing to continue teaching in the academy.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly; "Well, that's fine, then you can teach in the academy for a period of time."

Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and did not persuade him again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xiaoru clasped his hands to thank him, and Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

Then he turned his attention back to the article, but in his mind he was thinking about that brat Li Wei.

"This Li Wei has quite some ideas. Let's do this. Let's give him the title of Prince's Attendant. Biao'er, you can communicate with him more in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang said softly.

Whether it can be passed on will be decided first.

Of course Zhu Biao had no objection to this and respectfully agreed.

Li Wei, the only one who had an opinion on this matter, didn't know at this time that he would have such an extra job just because he said a few more words.

The next day, when Li Wei received the appointment at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, his mind was filled with questions. He couldn't figure out why he was suddenly given the appointment when he was teaching well and doing the work of the Minister of Industry. Arrange such an errand.

Recently, he has been busy with the academy affairs, and he hasn't even gone to the Shenji Camp yet. Now this comes again. Does Zhu Yuanzhang really treat him like a cow?

"Let's talk later when you have time."

After thinking about it, Li Wei simply threw the order aside and continued to go to the academy, where he led the students to learn pinyin literacy based on fragmented fairy tales.

At noon, Li Wei was resting in the office when Fang Xiaoru came over again.

When Li Wei saw him, he turned around impatiently, hoping that he would wise up and stop asking questions.

But today Fang Xiaoru came not to ask him questions, but to report good news.

"Master Li, have you received His Majesty's appointment?" Fang Xiaoru asked with a smile on his face.

Li Wei, who originally didn't want to talk to him, suddenly changed his face when he heard this, turned around and asked, "How do you know?"

"Oh, yesterday I wrote an article about Mr. Li's eloquent remarks and presented it to His Majesty. His Majesty read it and particularly appreciated Mr. Li's talents, so he gave Mr. Li the title of Servant."

Fang Xiaoru said with a smile that he could feel that Li Wei didn't seem to welcome him to the academy, and even pushed him away overtly and secretly.

But this time, because His Majesty was very happy after reading his article, he gave Li Wei an official position. This was somewhat of a happy event in his opinion, and he was also doing a favor, so he came here to talk to Li Wei and wanted to ease the situation. relation.

However, Li Wei was stunned after hearing this. Well, he was still wondering in the morning, but the person who tricked him came to his door at noon!
"you!"

Li Wei slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Fang Xiaoru and clicking his fingers.

Fang Xiaoru was stunned when she saw him like this, and said in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Li Wei secretly gritted his teeth, put his hand down, and said fiercely: "Thank you!"

"Uh……"

Fang Xiaoru was at a loss when she heard his words that were completely opposite to his actions.

"No...you're welcome, I'm going to class first!"

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Li Wei glared at his figure and gritted his teeth.

This guy is really just like Dao Tong and Han Yike, he can always trick him inadvertently, it's really annoying!

"No, we have to find a way to get this guy away!"

Li Wei made up his mind and would not give up until he was driven away!

After sitting down and pondering for a moment, Li Wei magically revised the Three-Character Sutra with a pen, and then brought it to the second class.

"Students, the Three-Character Sutra taught by your Teacher Fang before was incorrect. I corrected it for him. Everyone will memorize it according to my authentic version from now on!"

The students looked up at him blankly, and Li Wei stopped explaining and said directly:
"Come on, follow me and read: In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. They need to eat before going out. What will happen when they come to school? I will add eggs for you at noon, and eat dinner after lunch. You must not skip three meals a day..."

When the students listened to him read it once, their eyes lit up, and their confusion disappeared, revealing a look of sudden enlightenment.

No wonder, no wonder they couldn't memorize the Three-Character Sutra or understand it. It turned out that what Teacher Fang taught was wrong!

When you listen to this version taught by Teacher Li, with its catchy rhythm and clear content, you will know that this is the original version!
"In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. They need to eat before going out..."

The students read it one after another, because it was catchy and the meaning was clear, and they easily memorized it after just a few times. As for the version taught by Teacher Fang, it was naturally completely covered.

After teaching it many times in a row, and making sure that all the students had learned almost the same thing, Li Wei started to put down Mo Gai's meal guide and continued yesterday's fragmented literacy method.

However, something unexpected happened. Due to the demonic nature of the eating process he taught, these students are still thinking about eating, eating, eating, and even his out-of-context teaching method was affected.

"Oops! We should have taught literacy first and then taught this!"

Li Wei said to himself with some annoyance.

One day's schoolwork was over. Under Li Wei's tireless teaching, Fang Xiaoru worked hard for several days, and he pressed the reset button in one class.

The next day, Fang Xiaoru checked the students' recitation of the Three Character Classic. "Lu Xiu, come and carry it!"

Fang Xiaoru said with a smile.

Because Lu Xiu had attended a private school for several years and had a certain foundation, he performed best in this class and was deeply loved by Fang Xiaoru.

However, Lu Xiu's face was tense today. He was no longer as calm as he had been a few days ago. He slowly stood up and stammered:
"Everyone is born with good nature, so he should eat before going out... No, no, no, no, he is born with good nature, and his habits are similar, so he should eat first..."

Lu Xiu's mind was filled with what Li Wei taught about eating, eating, eating, mixed with the original version of the Three Character Classic that he had learned before, and he couldn't tell the difference.

The smile on Fang Xiaoru's face gradually solidified, and she shouted angrily: "What kind of mess are you carrying?"

"I know I know!"

The dirty Ma Liusi next to him immediately raised his hand excitedly and answered.

Fang Xiaoru shifted her gaze in surprise and looked at the scumbag Ma Liusi.

Ma Liusi was eager to show off and said directly: "This is the authentic Three Character Classic taught to us by Teacher Li. He memorized it incorrectly. It should be like this!"

Ma Liusi first pointed out Lu Xiu's mistake. He had never memorized the Three-Character Sutra, so he didn't have Lu Xiu's worries. He cleared his throat and started singing: "In the beginning, people are inherently good. They need to eat before going out. What should I do at school? I’ll give you eggs at noon, and you’ll have dinner after lunch. You can’t skip three meals a day..."

Fang Xiaoru's face was dull, and he was dumbfounded. His anger level soared upwards.

"Nonsense! This is all nonsense!"

Fang Xiaoru was so angry that before Ma Liusi could finish singing, she slapped the table and started yelling angrily.

Ma Liusi was startled, his chanting was interrupted by an angry blow, and he stood there cowering.

Lu Xiu lowered his head in shame. Not only had he forgotten half of the Three Character Sutra he had learned in the past, but he had also not memorized the "genuine" version taught by Teacher Li. He couldn't help but blame himself.

Fang Xiaoru looked around the class and saw all the students in the class looking stunned. Without thinking, she knew that they must also be victims of the "genuine" Three-Character Classic.

He also knew that this could not be blamed on the students, but on that Li Wei, who was messing around again!
"It really makes no sense!"

Fang Xiaoru threw down the textbook and turned around to find Li Wei for a theory!

At this time, Li Wei was leaning at the door of the classroom opposite. When he saw him rushing out of the classroom with an angry face, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he tried not to laugh.

He was just waiting for this guy to come over and argue. He had already thought about his words. He was doing this for the health of the students. He had three meals a day and couldn’t cut them off!
Fang Xiaoru left the classroom angrily and immediately saw Li Wei leaning against the door opposite, looking like he was waiting for you to fight. He couldn't help but pause in his steps. After thinking about it, he immediately understood Li Wei's intention.

Don't you just want to drive him away? I'm trying every possible way to make him angry.

Hum, I won’t leave, I won’t leave!

Fang Xiaoru snorted in her heart and took some time to straighten out her sleeves, which were a little messy due to her anxiety. She calmly shook them and turned back to the classroom to continue the class.

"Ok?"

Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise. Looking at Fang Xiaoru who was furious just now, he suddenly calmed down and his heart was full of doubts.

Fang Xiaoru returned to the classroom and closed the door.

Li Wei looked at his disappearing back and kept scratching his head.

"Why isn't this guy angry?"

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't figure it out, so he had to turn around and go back to his classroom.

But he will not give up!
In the afternoon, Li Wei pressed the reset button again, and Fang Xiaoru's day's efforts were immediately wasted. He gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and did not go to Li Wei.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day...

Fang Xiaoru every day: the beginning of man, the beginning of man, the beginning of man...

Li Wei every day: return to zero, return to zero, return to zero...

With his continuous efforts, Fang Xiaoru was so angry that he went to Zhu Biao to complain, but to his great disappointment, this guy just refused to leave.

After struggling for several days, he himself felt tired, and the students could not afford to delay like this. He had high expectations for these students and could not let them go to waste.

Besides, he has a lot of things to do, and he can't play with Fang Xiaoru in the college every day.

In the end, Li Wei had no choice but to give up this strategy and then think of another way.

As time went by, Li Wei's teaching method of pinyin and fragmentation began to gradually show its power, and the students made rapid progress in literacy.

Fang Xiaoru also gradually realized that the characters that the students knew were all those taught by Li Wei, and the Three Character Classic he taught was boring and difficult to remember, and Li Wei's deliberate troubles had not achieved any significant results so far.

Although Li Wei taught some easy-to-understand words, the students' progress still surprised him, and he couldn't help but wonder how Li Wei taught them.

So when he had free time, he began to secretly observe Li Wei's teaching, and then he discovered the wonderful use of pinyin!
"Good stuff, good stuff!" Fang Xiaoru praised repeatedly after figuring out the magical functions of these ghostly drawings.

The method used in ancient times to notate Chinese characters is called the fanqie method, which is to use the pronunciation of two characters to separate the pronunciation of other characters, such as the word "Tiao", the phonetic notation is "Tuliaoqie", read it quickly and only read the initial consonant of "Tu" t, the pronunciation of the word "liao" is pronounced as "iao", which combines the pronunciation of the word "tiao".

However, if you want to understand phonetic notation using this method, you must first learn a large number of Chinese characters. To put it bluntly, this phonetic notation method is not intended to teach people how to read, but to standardize pronunciation.

Moreover, different people use different characters to write phonetic notation, which is very confusing.

It was not until 1913 that the phonetic notation of Chinese characters using split strokes as finals was invented.

Chinese characters are ideographic characters, with emphasis on the meaning but not on the accent. However, it is more difficult to learn such characters.

But it would be different if there was the assistance of Pinyin.

After Fang Xiaoru understood this truth, he suddenly became excited. With these pinyin, he would no longer have to lead the teacher to recite the words again and again in the future. He only needed to explain the meaning of the article clearly and let the students read the words according to the pinyin. .

It is even easier to teach popular sentences like Li Wei, just note the upper pronunciation and let the students read it by themselves.

After all, even if students are illiterate, it is impossible for them to read the sentence "eat before going out" and interpret it as "to get rid of boredom and make money" or something like that.

If the previous teaching method was to teach people to fish, then Li Wei's current teaching method is to teach people to fish. As long as he has finished teaching Pinyin, he can let these students learn on their own, with only occasional guidance.

Fang Xiaoru's face changed. He really wanted to learn this pinyin and promote it, but Li Wei had made him so angry these days that he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

After much thought, he could only settle for the next best thing and continue to peek outside while Li Wei was in class!

So, from then on, Li Wei would always find a sneaky figure outside the window during class!However, when he walked out of the classroom in confusion and looked around, he couldn't find anyone.

"Huh? That's really weird. There was someone there just now!"

Li Wei scratched his head. He came out for the Nth time to check and failed, and couldn't help but be confused.

After a while, after he left, Fang Xiaoru walked out from the corner again, quietly leaned on the window and continued to peek, reading and writing down.

Li Wei, who was leading the students to read fragments of the chapter, glanced around and saw this figure again. He suddenly dropped the textbook and walked out of the classroom in annoyance.

Fang Xiaoru was suddenly startled and quickly turned around and hid.

"Who? Who is it? Come out!"

Li Wei stood at the door and shouted twice, but no one responded, and no one came out.

"Humph!"

Li Wei snorted coldly and returned to the classroom, but this time he did not go to the podium. Instead, he ran to the window where the figure was found just now and squatted down.

"Teacher Li, what are you doing?"

The students all stood up when they saw Teacher Li's strange behavior.

Li Wei quickly gesticulated with his fingers and whispered, "Sit down, everyone, look at the podium and don't look at me!"

Although the students were curious, they all sat back obediently.

After a while, Fang Xiaoru popped his head out of the window again. However, to his surprise, Li Wei was nowhere to be seen on the podium at this time.

"Huh, what about people?"

Fang Xiaoru said to himself in confusion.

Just as he was wondering, Li Wei's head slowly rose up from inside through the window and came face to face with him.

Fang Xiaoru was immediately stunned on the spot!
"Teacher Fang, what are you doing?" Li Wei stared at Fang Xiaoru and asked softly.

"Uh this..."

After being caught red-handed, Fang Xiaoru coughed in embarrassment and said shamelessly: "I'm just here to supervise you and see if you are teaching well!"
