The official coercion and the people's rebellion are the themes that have been emphasized in the Water Margin.

When he was a child, Tang Ning watched the Water Margin, and he only felt that his blood was boiling, and he couldn't wait to follow Song Jiang and other heroes to unload Gao Yu and Cai Jing as traitors.

When I grew up, I watched it again, and I had some new insights. For example, when Mr. Shi Nai'an described the reasons why all the heroes went up the mountain, he was nothing more than writing these four big characters.

And the actual situation of this era is also like this.

The prosperous economy and cowardly government of the Great Song Dynasty created a unique landscape of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the bandits that emerged in an endless stream all over the mountains. For these robbers, the general approach of the government is to exterminate them if they can, and if they can't, as long as you don't rebel, just turn a blind eye, and the two sides are at peace with each other.

The Nanshan thieves are very famous in Runzhou and even Liangzhejiang Road, which is a men's group of robbers, rogues, bandits, and thieves. Even the current emperors can see their names on the cantata.

The people and businessmen near Runzhou complained about this.

Now, the Nanshan thieves have threatened Niu San. Just like the last group of mountain people who left, they also faced the problem of whether to leave or stay.

Here's how it happened.

Runzhou changed Zhizhou, and Zhizhou issued a war letter to the Nanshan thieves who had plagued the merchants of the Liangzhejiang Road for ten years, and released words to vow to exterminate the Nanshan thieves.

The Nanshan thieves naturally ignored it, if the government really had the ability to exterminate them, they would not have the prestige of these ten years to shake. In the face of the government's record of three major crackdowns and 16 small crackdowns in the past ten years, they are qualified to stand on the top of the mountain and laugh at the inadequacy of Runzhou Zhizhou.

However, the boss of the Nanshan thieves didn't seem to think so, and he ordered his subordinates to keep a low profile recently, not to act rashly, and to observe a wave first.

Therefore, the scope of activities of the Nanshan thieves has spread to the area behind the mountain, Rooster Ridge.

The villagers who were holding the venison that day and gnawed on the venison that day when they came back from the hunting of Niu San vaguely heard the sound of gold and iron clashing. This is not a good phenomenon, which shows that the Nanshan thieves are not far from them.

In the next few days, Niu San kept leading people to investigate the whereabouts of the Nanshan bandits. Tang Ning snapped his fingers to remember the days, and after a total of seven days, the Nanshan thieves pulled out Rooster Ridge. In the past seven days, I didn't dare to make rice, and the meat was roasted in the deep mountains and old forests, and only after the roasting was finished did I take it back to eat.

Today, Tang Ning squatted at the door of the house to teach Xiao Shi and Xiao Nizi to read and write, and he had already prepared the rice in the pot, a pot of millet gruel, and a plate of bacon and pickles, which was considered dinner.

The Song people are very particular about the diet, the rich and noble, the food is not tired of the fine, the food is not tired of the fine, "all the food is precious, the new food, the strange vegetables, the quality is not lacking", and even "the price of the increase is not more valuable, but the time is new".

Most villages, even the poor, have white rice to eat.

However, this runaway village is extremely poor, and the clay pots are filled with millet. Even the small cultivated land they have cultivated themselves is mostly millet.

Since Tang Ning was able to go to the field for activities, he contracted the food at home alone. At first, Aunt Niu didn't agree, but after eating it once, she never mentioned cooking by herself.

The same ingredient that Downing can make has a taste, but she can't make it.

Niu San and the people at the bottom of the mountain have not returned, and Aunt Niu is carrying a bucket to the stream not far away to fetch water. When Niu San comes back, the sun should set, and it is time to eat.

Three meals a day is a luxury here, except for the one in the morning, and you have to wait until the evening. If you are hungry, cut a small piece of bacon and put it in your mouth for self-comfort, and cut a large piece as a meal to eat, which is not afraid of death.

"This word reads Tang, and this word reads Ning. That's my name, Downing. Downing said, pointing to the words he had written on the ground with a branch.

"Downing...... Brother Tang Ning ...... "Xiao Nizi took these two words to heart seriously.

He doesn't plan to teach his two children too many words, because ancient writing is traditional characters, and he has taught a lot of simplified characters to others, and when the time comes, he doesn't know any other words except the words he wrote to them, which is not a mistake.

So Downing was ready to teach them to write only their own names.

Aunt Niu had already taught them a lot of words before, and Tang Ning asked them to write them on the grounds of checking their homework. Because there is no book at home, this is also the only channel for Tangning to know traditional Chinese characters.

Traditional Chinese characters are not easy to write, there are too many strokes, especially Tang Ning, who is used to writing simplified characters, and the process of learning to write a large number of traditional characters is very painful, and if you are not careful, you will write simplified characters again.

I haven't studied it much systematically before.,I've always thought this thing is useless.,Learning other messy things.,It's also my own interest.。 Now Tang Ning is repentant to death, and he didn't understand the sentence that he didn't press down until now.

Xiao Shi wrote the three big characters of cow stone on the ground one by one, and on the other side, Xiao Nizi also wrote the word plum on the ground.

The name Li Zi was given by Lao Li Tou, and Lao Li Tou had no culture, so shouting like this was purely smooth. But later, everyone got used to calling Li Zi's nickname Xiao Nizi, and the word Li Zi was taken as her name.

But Tang Ning likes the name, he always calls plums.

The two of them would have written their names a long time ago, and Aunt Niu also taught them a hundred family names. A few days ago, I shook my head and recited it to Tang Ning, and I heard that Tang Ning was sweating like rain, and he was embarrassed.

He can carry He Lu Shizhang to a hundred households, and as for Xiahou Zhuge , he has no impression at all when he hears about the Dongfang.

The same is true of the thousand-character text, the heavens and the earth are yellow, and he will not memorize it at all after the universe is desolate. And the plum is pretty: "The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and the moon are shining." The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest and the winter hide ......" continue to carry down.

Tang Ning can only be like a small stone, growing his mouth to look at plums and carrying them until he is 'lonely, ignorant, and so on.' The predicate helper, the one who helps'.

I can't teach these two, and I haven't touched them since I grew up, and it's myself who is ashamed after teaching. Tang Ning decided to teach some simple, "Three Character Classic" is a good choice, before he crossed over, he also got the full text of the Three Character Classic written by him from an elder who was good at calligraphy, because of this, Tang Ning still has a lot of impressions of the Three Character Classic, at least he can memorize the whole text. I just don't know if these two children have ever learned...... Which dynasty is the Three Character Classic?

Having a good memory is also one of the few virtues of Downing.

For normal literacy, students should first write on the ground and then tell the students how to read it. That's how Aunt Niu taught, how did Xiaoshi's hundred family names and plum's thousand-character essays learn.

But Downing couldn't write traditional characters, so he came up with a solution, which he said, to write by plums and small stones.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching, you ...... specialized"

"How do you write goodness? How do you write expensive? ”

Tang Ning was happy, looked at the little stone full of question marks and said, "Wait for your mother to come back and ask your mother to go." ”

Xiaoshi lowered his hair for a while, and when Tang Ning said slowly, 'If the jade is not cut, it will not be made', he threw the branch in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "It's really boring to read every day!" Brother Ning, why don't you take us to the river to fish! ”

"At a young age, my mind is full of fishing, what kind of system is this!" Tang Ning sternly reprimanded Xiao Shi, and Li Zi covered his mouth and snickered.

Xiaoshi doesn't like to learn to read and write, but he especially likes to dance with guns and sticks. The strength is also very great, once playing with Tang Ning, he inadvertently smashed an elbow on Tang Ning's stomach, and Tang Ning didn't get up for a day.

After that, Downing no longer dared to flick the little stones of the small stones. And Xiao Shi was also because of this incident, so he began to be willing to call Tang Ning Brother Ning, before that, Aunt Niu gave three orders, Tang Ning coerced and lured, and Xiao Shi was willing to call him Little Brother!

When he taught Xiao Shi Analects again, Xiao Shi sat on the ground and sulked. Children just love to lose their temper for some reason, but you can't do it if you don't coax it.

Tang Ning sighed, squatted beside the small stone and said: "The jade is not cut, and the next sentence is that people don't learn and don't know righteousness." Can you tell me what the first two sentences are? ”

Xiao Shi's face was so red that he couldn't say a word.

"Plum, tell him."

"If you don't learn, it's not appropriate. If you don't learn when you're young, what is old age...... Brother Ning, are these two sentences? ”

Tang Ning smiled and rubbed the little head of the plum and complimented: "The plum is awesome!" ”

Li Zi covered his head and smirked, Tang Ning continued to say to Xiao Shi: "The meaning of these four sentences is: children should not study well, if a person does not study well when he is young, he will not do anything when he grows up."

If jade is not polished and carved, it will not become a fine object. If people don't learn, they won't know etiquette and righteousness, and they won't be able to become talents...... Little stone, are you willing to become a mountain wanderer who doesn't understand etiquette in other people's mouths? ”

"I ...... I ......"

"I taught you to read and write, and I never immersed you in it all day. Isn't the combination of work and rest something we have said a long time ago? There are three more sentences, if you can memorize these ten sentences before dinner today, tomorrow morning, Brother Ning will take you to fish, okay? ”

“……”

Aunt Niu was carrying a flat burden on her shoulders, standing in the distance and not daring to approach. It wasn't until Tang Ning slowly said a novel rhyme that she had never heard before in a still awkward and weird reading voice, that Aunt Niu smiled with satisfaction.

This is really a good child, both in terms of etiquette and upbringing, he is the best among the teenage children he has ever seen. I don't know what kind of master can teach such an excellent disciple.

Thinking of this, Aunt Niu had an urge to visit Master Tang Ning.
