After Deng Qifan wrote a letter home for the guards, he thought that Wu Shigong would arrange an errand for him.

That Deng Qifan still has a literati mentality. Although he was forcibly left behind by Wu Shigong. However, Deng Qifan still fantasizes that Wu Shigong can treat him like Liu Bei treated Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Deng Qifan had the best Wu Shigong to come to the thatched house first, and then Deng Qifan came to "Longzhong Pair", which made Wu Shigong scorched on the outside and tender on the inside. Wu Shigong immediately gave Deng Qifan a long bow and said, "If Mr. doesn't come out, the world will be restless!" ”

But would Wu Shigong do such a brainless thing? He didn't have any tone of negotiation at all, and directly arranged for Deng Qifan to teach his illiterate subordinates to read and write.

Although Wu Shigong's own cultural level in his previous life was not high, he still respected knowledgeable people very much (except for Yu Zilian). Besides, he found that the illiteracy rate of people in the Ming Dynasty was a little too high. If this continues, there will be problems in the transmission of orders in your own army in the future. Handwritten commands, those illiterate people can't understand them.

But after listening to Wu Shigong's arrangement, Deng Qifan was even more reluctant. But he didn't dare to go against Wu Shigong, so Deng Qifan found a reason: "Adult, the student is just one person, teaching so many people to read, the student can't be busy." Adults need to find a few more gentlemen who teach. ”

Wu Shigong listened to Deng Qifan's words and felt that his words were also reasonable. But where can I find a teacher who teaches? Wu Shigong remembered that when he was guarding the county seat, he came to Gong Haoran, the teacher he talked back to.

On that day, Wu Shigong rummaged through the cabinets, found his literati's robe from the box containing his clothes, and asked Xiuzhu to dress himself up.

When Wu Shigong put on his robe and tied a scribe's scarf, looking at his appearance, all the wives of Wu Shigong in the inner house couldn't help laughing. Wu Shigong looks like a martial artist, but he makes such a literati dress, which really verifies an idiom - Mu monkey and crown.

Wu Shigong took the gift, and in the strange eyes of others, came to the residence of Gong Haoran, the county teacher.

As soon as Wu Shigong and Gong Haoran met, they immediately saluted and said: "Mr. Day's teachings to the students, the students still remember it. Today's students have come to listen to his teachings. ”

Gong Haoran was very happy when he heard Wu Shigong's words, and said in a loud voice: "You're polite." Polite. "Catch and welcome Wu Shigong into the house.

After the two of them sat down, Wu Shigong said to Gong Haoran: "The student came to Mr. this time, and he still has something to ask for his help." This time, the students arrested some rioters, including some children. The students thought that the rebellion of the rebellious people would not only punish them harshly to make them afraid, but also teach them etiquette and loyalty. In this way, they will also be able to support themselves and become useful people in the future. Therefore, here there is Mr. Qiu, find a few gentlemen to teach the students, so that they can teach those children. ”

Gong Haoran listened to Wu Shigong's words, and he was very useful, and he said with a smile: "The meaning of the sage's edification is indeed so. Wu Qianhu's current indoctrination move, how can this official not help? ”

So, Wu Shigong and Gong Haoran talked happily with each other. When Gong Haoran learned that Wu Shigong was also a prisoner, the relationship between the two became closer. Because, Gong Haoran is Wu Shigong's supervisor and senior in the last few sessions. Therefore, Gong Haoran also dragged Wu Shigong to stay for a family banquet.

Within a few days, Gong Haoran arranged for five children from the county to come to Wu Shigong to teach. The five children were basically hopeless and old people who had no hope for the imperial examination. But their arrival is a treasure for the current Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong immediately gave each of them eight taels of silver per month. This made these children very satisfied.

Wu Shigong immediately arranged for all the orphaned boys he took in to learn literacy. In addition, it also arranged for all its officers to have night classes to learn literacy in the evening after training in the morning.

Wu Shigong's stipulation made those officers a little resistant. Wu Shigong was very simple and stipulated: If anyone does not meet the standard of literacy within the specified time, the military salary will be deducted immediately. Under the power of money, all the officers also obeyed Wu Shigong's orders.

After that, Wu Shigong inspected the teaching situation. The five boys taught the children and the officers how hard they could. However, Wu Shigong found a problem.

Those children were taught according to the teaching methods of the Ming Dynasty at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, to teach people to read and write was to let those who were literate first memorize all the contents of the textbooks, regardless of whether the person understood the true meaning and interpretation of the contents of the textbooks.

After memorizing the content of the textbook, Mr. will combine the content of the textbook to say some great teachings of the sage, and under normal circumstances, this is considered to be the end of the teaching.

If there are some more intelligent schoolchildren who can draw inferences, then Mr. will focus on cultivating this schoolchild. To tell the truth, the education of the Ming Dynasty was the elite education after the net was spread. That is, only the most haode schoolchildren are taught the real knowledge, and the others are just not blind.

And Wu Shigong's purpose of running a school is not to run a university at all, he just wants to run a technical school. Moreover, although the great truths of those saints have to be taught, they can only be said selectively, and Wu Shigong has to make them vague, and he doesn't want to instill them in the brains of those children and officers who are studying.

For example, those loyal to the monarch's thoughts, Wu Shigong thinks: These people eat me and wear me, so they should be loyal to themselves, and what does the emperor do?

Therefore, Wu Shigong felt that he should compile a supplementary textbook for learning, and in this supplementary textbook, there is no need to say anything about the deeds of saints, those saints are too far away from Wu Shigong's age. Not to mention those fairy tales of cat and mouse, and mice love rice. Talk more about the current situation and the things around you. Theory is linked to practice.

After Wu Shigong returned to the inner house, he called all four of his wives over and asked them to help him compile such a supplementary textbook.

After listening to Wu Shigong's thoughts, Li Xin asked with some confusion: "Husband, how should I write that textbook?" ”

Wu Shigong explained to the four ladies: "For example, the first sentence of the "Three Character Classic" - at the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. The conventional interpretation means that everyone is born with haode, but because of the different learning environment in the process of growing up, everyone's temperament is different from good. ”

"After we teach the regular explanations of those literate people and children, we will relate to the reality and tell some stories that happened around us to deepen the impression of these literate people and children."

"For example, it can be said that their Senhu is a person of noble character. Therefore, the rebel rebels will be exterminated, and those who have been held hostage by the rebels will be taken in, so that they can work, have enough to eat, and now let them read. In this way, they have such a noble Qianhu Lord as an example, and they will become a very haode person in the future. ”

"Tell me, how about my teachings?" Wu Shigong asked proudly.

His four ladies stared blankly at the cheeky husband, their mouths wide open, unable to say anything.

Xiuzhu, who still has a relatively straightforward personality, answered Wu Shigong's words out loud, and she said: "The slave maid can't understand what the young master said well. The slave only knows, young master, you are really shameless. ”

Xiuzhu's words caused a coquettish laugh from the other three women. Wu Shigong, who was embarrassed and angry, grabbed the embroidered bamboo to his side and walked towards the bedroom with her in his arms. While walking, Wu Shigong also said hatefully: "Today, the young master will let you take a look, what is really shameless." ”

When the ladies compiled this supplementary textbook according to Wu Shigong's wishes, Wu Shigong showed the textbook to Deng Qifan and asked him to give some opinions and suggestions. When Deng Qifan saw it, his eyeballs were about to fall out of his sockets.

However, Deng Qifan reacted quickly, and after he immediately read it carefully, he suggested to Wu Shigong: "My lord, of course your textbook is very good, so that those literate people can have the mind of knowing and repaying their kindness." However, the words of the saint should also be highlighted in the textbook, and the saint should also be highlighted, so that it is not easy for others to catch the pigtails. ”

Wu Shigong suddenly understood. This textbook of mine stands out too much. If it spreads out and is used by people with ulterior motives, it will bring a lot of trouble to yourself.

Wu Shigong immediately followed the good flow and asked Deng Qifan to help improve it. That Deng Qifan showed his hand in front of Wu Shigong for the first time, and he also used all his resources to supplement the content of the textbook.

zuihou, this textbook becomes: What is the meaning of the original text? What did the saints do before? Under the wise leadership of the emperor, how is the noble Qianhu Lord doing things now? Such a form.

As for the supplementary textbook finalized by Deng Qifan, Wu Shigong is quite satisfied. He can now use the cultural liliang to brainwash his subordinates. Wu Shigong also praised Deng Qifan, and was also impressed by the role that Deng Qifan could play.

This knowledge is indeed liliang!
