Mohist Tang

With the promotion of Mohist Periodical, Master Li spared no effort to hate and disgust his former opponents in Chang’an City. The influence of reading syllogism in Chang’an City gradually increased. Big.

Chang’an City, as the Imperial Capital, can be said to be the most educated area in Great Tang. The Academy alone is countless. Moreover, there are a large number of people who study here every year, waiting for once The imperial examination system of every three years.

Although Great Tang has launched the imperial examination, it is a pity that the number of admissions is too small. There are only a dozen people in three years, and some are not even taken. It can be described as a magnificent army with thousands of men and Horses cross the single-plank bridge.

However, these Scholars have failed many times, and they pretend to be high-minded, and are not willing to put down their body.

“There are tens of thousands of people studying, and a few of them are officials.”

“People between fifteen and 25 years old have the best memory and are the best in school Period, more than 30 years old, memory and energy will gradually decline.”

Zhou Chen put down the Mohist Periodical in his hand, and he was very entangled in his heart. He continued to participate. After four imperial examinations, it is a pity that he has repeatedly failed! The years that have passed, he still did nothing, not even a talented talent was admitted.

Moreover, he obviously felt the decline of his energy, coupled with various family mundane ties, made him more powerless.

“Lord Husband, there is something on my mind!” Lady Zhou (Clan) asked worriedly from the side.

Zhou Chen shook his head and saw that Lady Zhou (Clan) was already born at a young age. When her family was poor and unable to survive, she endured her familys eyes and came to the door, which made this family barely survive. .

“I want to give up the imperial examination for my husband!” Zhou Chen said in a low voice, trying his best. He didn’t even dare to look at his wife’s expression, because the one who supported him the most was Zhou Lady (Clan). The giving up at this moment almost defeated Zhou Lady (Clan)’s previous efforts.

Unexpectedly, Lady Zhou (Clan) did not at all fierce reactions, but a kind of sighed in relief.

“Lord Husband, no matter what decision is made, I will support you!” Zhou Lady (Clan) said softly.

“Madam, are you not angry?” Zhou Chen couldn’t believe it.

Lady (Clan) Zhou shook her head and said: “Whether you are an official or not, the concubine body is not important. The concubine body is just watching Lord Husband. At that time, he was obsessed with imperial examinations and naturally helped, but now Lord Husband decided to find another. The way out, the concubine also supports him, Lord Husband has thought of any plans.”

“Decided to run a school for my husband!” Zhou Chen said firmly.

“School?” Zhou Lady (Clan) frowns saying: “Lord Husband not at all, I am afraid that not many children are willing to come to school!”

“no! Preaching for your husband is not to gain fame, but to eliminate illiteracy!” Zhou Chen said.

“Illiterate!” Zhou Lady (Clan) was surprised. Although she didn’t get out of the door, she was also famous for the word illiterate. After all, the word is too sharp and bitter, and it’s too hard. 30%.

Although some poor people are willing to study, but Im afraid they cant afford to fix it! Zhou Lady (Clan) worriedly said.

Chang’an City is not easy to live in, and the repairs have also risen year after year. It is said that the old man of Taipingfang, Tong Old Man, once taught ten Juren, and the students he accepts, each of them will be repaired every year. Consistently money.

“Of course, I will not accept that many as a husband, one hundred literary in half a year, only two subjects, literacy and Mathematics!” Zhou Chen handed the two books to Zhou Lady (Clan).

Zhou Chen has prepared. One of the two books is a thousand-character essay commonly used in childrens enlightenment, and the other is the first mathematics newly edited by Shen Hongcai. Although it is a new book, the content is extremely simple. , Is a common operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, which was not the slightest problem for Zhou Chen.

Literacy, will count! Coupled with the low price, Zhou Chen believes that many people from poor families will be willing to learn.

As soon as the couple combined, they decided to vacate the largest room in Zhou Family, which was Zhou Chens former study, as a school, and began to accept apprentices from the listing.

The famous Zhou Luodi is going to run a school! This is Quchifang but caused a lot of sensation! After all, for many years, even a talented person could not pass the test, and he was considered a famous locally.

“A hundred essays! If you want me to say that Zhou Luodi will not only fail to learn, but also to do business, I am afraid that a hundred essays will make you lose money!”

“Let me say, Zhou I am afraid that the knowledge of losing is worth a hundred essays. For his self-knowledge, just teaching people to read and write, or to lead people astray!”

Amidst the ridicule from the side, Zhou Chen’s school finally opened.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Family School is surprisingly popular! More than 60 people were recruited!

“Sir, my youngster is very naughty. If you dare to be disobedient, please let me know.”

“Sir, please, my family has no other requirements, as long as the husband can let him Learn a few words, count his maths well, and be able to do business with me!”

“I have been illiterate for generations, but my son cannot be illiterate!”

Zhou Chen stood at the gate of the renovated school in his courtyard, looking at each pair sincerely His eyes only feel that his decision is correct.

Holding a full six pennies, Zhou Lady (Clan) cried with joy. In Great Tang, six pennies were a huge sum of money for ordinary persons, and it was only half a year of repair.

While in the school, Zhou Chen looked at the pens in the hands of each student, and fell into a problem.

“Master, this is a pencil! When we buy a math book, we dont give it any money.”

“But if you are done using it, you have to buy it, a penny! “

“And a pencil sharpener! Just turn it like this!”

Looking at a log with thick chopsticks There is a thin ink core in between! pencil! Of course, he who is familiar with Mohist Periodical knows that this is the brush of Mohist Family Son’s new painting technique. It is said that there is Luo Zidai in the middle, how could it be so cheap.

Where did Zhou Chen know that after persistent efforts, Mohist Village finally got the ink core! And the cost is surprisingly cheap. This time, in order to help Shen Hongcai promote Mathematics, it is directly matched and sold.

“Master, this is from Mathematics, but do you write a thousand-character text?” a student said timidly.

Zhou Chen looked at the students with patches all over their clothes, Zhou Chen was nodded hard.

A pencil directly replaces the pen and inkstone, and only a penny can be used for more than a month. In addition, it can write very small characters and can even save paper by a large margin. This is for the poor students. That is such a great gospel. From now on, the cost of learning will probably be minimized.

The advantages of pencils are many, but there is one biggest drawback. It is too soft and it is easy to get the sleeves to be splattered. Looking at each student in order to avoid splattering the sleeves, they start from top to bottom. Practice the calligraphy of little by little from left to right.

Zhou Chen looked at the students wrong handwriting sequence, tried to correct them several times, but finally gave up. After all, these students biggest need is literacy, and they dont participate in the imperial examinations, and they can spend the least money on writing articles. Learning knowledge is the greatest truth.

Soon, Chang’an City, a school similar to Zhou Chen, spread quickly and spread to the Guanzhong area at an alarming rate. Pencils also spread, dont let more and more poor students use.

As Mo Dun said, its not about inheritance etiquette, but about saving money and convenience. Everything is in unnoticeable influence, no, it should be subtly inked.
