Chapter 137 Teachings
After Li Chongjiu woke up after sleeping all night, the old woman who served him immediately served him a large bowl of haggis soup.

The two had just finished drinking halfway when they saw a man running in with disheveled hair.

Li Chongjiu looked at it for a long time before he recognized that this beggar was Zhou Xu who was ordered to write a rhyme book.

Zhou Xu seemed to have been hungry for a few days. When he saw the haggis soup in Li Chongjiu's hand, he immediately drank it without worrying about burning his mouth.

Seeing the other party like this, Ping Ping quickly took the steaming haggis soup aside and licked it slowly.

Li Chongjiu saw that it was funny, and immediately asked the old woman to bring another bowl of haggis soup.

Seeing that Zhou Xu was eating cleanly with a bowl of soup and haggis, Li Chongjiu then asked, "How is the rhyme book?"

Zhou Xu brushed the messy hair on his forehead, then took out a few pieces of hemp paper, and said: "Master Hou, this is me and the book office, after ten days of hard work, and three days without sleep or food, we sorted out There are 36 phonetic characters and 25 rhyme characters."

Zhou Xu was also very happy that he was like this.

Li Chongjiu looked at the paper, it was full of writing, clear and clear, and so on.

We must know that during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the later generations of Chinese in the Central Plains had different languages. The Chinese language has gone through three different stages: ancient times, middle ages, and modern times.

The language of the Sui and Tang Dynasties is Middle Ancient Chinese, and its pronunciation cannot be used. In modern pinyin, ah, oh, goose, yi, woo, and call are used to express.The medieval Chinese spoken by Li Chongjiu is similar to many modern local dialects, such as Tangyin in Hokkien.

For example, many ancient poems do not rhyme in modern Chinese, but they can rhyme when read in local dialects.

Li Chongjiu looked at it, and said a random Chinese character, and Zhou Xu could use a sound type word and a rhyme type word to form his pronunciation.

When teaching in this way, you can first recognize the pronunciation of these sixty phonetic and final characters, and then read out the pronunciation of each Chinese character under the marking.

Li Chongjiu was very happy, and said: "This is really a blessing in the world, Mr. Zhou, I will let you be the teacher of Mengguan in Huaihuang Town, teach the common people to cultivate people, and select talents from poor families."

Zhou Xu looked excited when he heard this, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you General, I will do my best."

The next day, heavy snow fell on the grassland.

It was freezing cold all around, the gates of Huaihuang Town were closed, and no one left the city.

Even the government soldiers that Li Chongjiu was training were only doing simple drills in the resident school grounds, and did not go out of the city to shoot and hunt.

The heavy snow is the day of reading.

Li Chongjiu immediately sent an order to recruit fifty children under the age of 16 to study in Huaihuang Town.

Among the government soldiers, except for the necessary stay behind, all the team leaders, team deputy, brigade leader, brigade deputy, and generals above the school lieutenant must report to the Mongolian Pavilion.
As for the generals of the Xi Ministry, they were also forcibly drawn into social studies. Of course, they were not literate, but invited people who could speak Turkic and Chinese to teach them Chinese.

As for Zhou Xu and Zhou Jiaoyu, three book offices were hired, and they also served as academicians to be responsible for teaching.

The Mongolian Pavilion was established next to the Yingyang government office. Li Chongjiu wrote an inscription on the Mongolian Pavilion with a wicked sense of humor, and it was called the Hope Mongolian Pavilion.

On the opening day, Zhou Xu brought fifty children to offer sacrifices to the statue of Confucius.

And those soldiers were all as big as a bucket, shouting one by one that it would be better for them to deal with a hundred Turkic warriors than to tell them to play with words.

However, the military order is like a mountain, under Li Chongjiu's strict order, so people bite the bullet and come to the Meng Pavilion, sit in a well-behaved manner, and listen to Zhou Xu's lecture.

In addition, Li Chongjiu also issued an order that if these sergeants finish the three-month study in the Mongolian Pavilion and fail the final assessment, they will not be promoted within one year. Everyone is honest now.

So it can be seen that in the days of heavy snow, the sound of reading aloud came from the Mongolian Pavilion in Huaihuang Town.

Amidst the elegant humming sound, accompanied by the rough yelling of the men, in the fan hall on the side, a group of Xi people were chanting Chinese in a very heavy Hu tone: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Disarm and don't kill!"

At this time, Li Chongjiu, who was listening outside the window, had a smile on his face.

These children from the Han family all know how difficult it is to have the opportunity to study, so their faces are full of desire for knowledge. Although Pingping can't read aloud like other children, his eyes are wide open. Yes, listen to every word in your ears.

As for those soldiers, they understood that this was related to their promotion, even though they scratched their heads and bit their pens dryly, they didn't dare to neglect.

Hope Mongolian Hall taught classes in the morning during the day, and after school, Zhou Xu wrote the thousand-character text silently, and marked each word with the cut sound of the upper and lower characters.

There is actually another big problem with Zhou Xu's rhyme writing. He is from Shanggu, so he has a serious local accent, not to mention that it is different from the official dialect of Jingluo at that time, and it is even worse from the lower accent of Jinling Luo.

But Li Chongjiu doesn't care so much anymore, let's get the ducks on the shelves first.

After ten days, the teaching of the sixty phonetic and rhyme characters is completed, and the children who have just started to learn will start to teach them the thousand-character prose.

The officers, on the other hand, taught them some simple military orders.The only requirement is that after three months, they can recognize a thousand Chinese characters and understand simple military orders.

In the middle of winter, when Huaihuang Town is closed to prepare for the coming year.

A group of cavalry holding scepters broke through the snow and came to the gate of Huaihuang Town, saying: "Quickly open the city gate, we are from Dongdu, and pass the order to the champion!"

Li Chongjiu didn't dare to be negligent when it was confirmed that he was behind. He opened the city gate wide and led the important officials and generals of Yingyang Mansion to go out to greet him.

Li Chongjiu immediately put on the purple military uniform representing the fifth-rank senior officials of the Sui Dynasty, which was extremely eye-catching.

The officials who came to pass the decree were the officials of the lower province, and they were very polite when they saw Li Chongjiu, shouting champions one by one.

Now that he entered the Yingyang mansion, the officials of the lower province saw Li Chongjiu's poor living conditions, so he couldn't help but praise him a few more words, such as serving the country and serving the public.

So Li Chongjiu put on the censer, and the officials of the province under his door stood in awe, and read the edict aloud.

This imperial edict is the form of imperial edict, and the imperial edict is written on jute paper.

Everyone listened carefully, mainly to praise Li Chongjiu for defeating the Turks this time, Khitan military exploits, the content of the award was to give three hundred pieces of brocade and silk, which is not a big deal.

Afterwards, it was the permission of the Yingyang Mansion in Huaihuang Town to open the government office. Li Chongjiu officially awarded the fifth-rank General Yingyanglang.

At the same time, the imperial court also gave Li Chongjiu and the officials of Huaihuang Town an additional six-month official salary in the form of Lumi.

Because Li Chongjiu is a foreign official, he is paid according to the proportion of the number of households under his rule. In addition, he can enjoy the benefits of a fifth-rank official and [-] acres of land treatment.
