The reason why Tang Yi chose the children who came with the sunspots as the first batch of students of the Minxue school, instead of choosing children from among the children of the tenant farmers in the back to the mountains, was that there were too many children to teach; Second, it is considered from the perspective of control. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The children who came with the sunspots, if nothing else, must be dead set on Tang Yi, and they don't have to think about whether they can control it or not in the future.

The children of the tenants who returned to the mountains were different, after all, they were not like the sunspots, who were completely tied to Tang Yi, if he had a different heart in the future, then his hard work for a few years, or even more than ten years, would be in vain.

Tang Yi and Wang Lizheng made it very clear that folk studies are different from academies, and the children they cultivate are not for the imperial examination.

No, Wang Lizheng frowned and said: "The young master is thinking far, we don't dare to let the doll take the Jinshi exam, I just hope that he can be literate, don't be like me in the future, just don't even understand the account." ”

As he spoke, Wang Li bowed and bowed, "Young master, you are a good person, just do it and accept my family's baby." ”

“.....”

Get! Tang Yi couldn't prevaricate.

"Then Uncle Wang bring the child, I'll take a look."

....

Wang Lizheng opened a "good start", and when he returned to the tenant family in the mountain village, he heard that Li was sending his family's 'Wang Goudan'er' to the folk school to read and write.....

Is that worth it?

In the afternoon, Tang Yi didn't have to stop, he was surrounded by these people, and they all took the little money they had at home to beg Tang Yi to accept their children.

Tang Yi is not afraid that you will play with him, he is afraid of this kind of bitter love drama, and in the end, he simply asked people to count the children who returned to the mountain village, and simply accepted all the children from eight to ten years old.

The number of students in folk studies went from seven or eight to twenty-seven all at once!

As for the tuition fees sent by the villagers, what Tang Yi lacks is time and energy, and it is really not that they are short of money.

Besides, when he saw the twenty or so children standing in front of him with their eyes open, Tang Yi didn't even have the heart to be afraid of wasting energy and getting tired.

In this era, 'knowledge' is considered a luxury. Not to mention the full stomach, even if you know a few words more than ordinary people, for the people, it is a major event that changes their fate!

To be able to change the fate of so many children's lives, that sense of accomplishment....

It's unspeakable.

...

The lecture on folk studies is not as grand as it was at the beginning of Guanlan Academy, and there is not even any ceremony at all.

Tang Yi gave each Meng Tong pen and ink and other utensils, and then sent the 'textbooks' he made up, and it was over.

However, it was different when it came to class. In addition to the twenty-seven students, dozens of Confucian students in Guanlan Academy surrounded the folk school hall inside and out, and even the gang of cheap Chunli and Song Kai came to see his jokes.

Not for anything else, they just want to see how Tang Zihao himself has not learned how to teach others.

...

And Fan Zhongyan and several other highly respected masters are now sitting in the back row of the classroom and have also come to listen to Tang Yi's lectures.

This is what Tang Yi told the teacher when he had to run a folk school, and Fan Zhongyan had to listen to him a few times before he could decide whether to let him run the folk school. This not only involves delaying Tang Yi's normal studies, but also Fan Zhongyan is afraid that he will mislead people's children!

At this time, Tang Yi was standing at the front of the classroom, his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

I've never taught anyone else in my life, so it's a lie to say I'm not nervous. Besides, the teacher and several masters are sitting underneath, giving lectures to a group of Confucians, Tang Yi is a little stressed....

"It shouldn't be difficult to teach a few children to read, right?" Tang Yi comforted himself.

Taking a deep breath, "Let's open the first page of Mengxue. ”

Well, in fact, it is "Chinese Textbook", and Tang Yi changed it to a name suitable for the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing the young children below opening the textbook in front of him with immaturity and excitement on their faces, Tang Yi didn't say a word, picked up a piece of 'white soil' and turned around and walked to the ink board to write.

The ink board was specially made by Tang Yi, and no one knew what it was for at first. Now watching Tang Yi write and draw on it, it suddenly dawned on me that this was originally a 'teaching aid'.

However, not to mention, for the Song people, who are accustomed to the teaching method of Mr. speaking with his mouth in front of the hall and students listening with their ears in the classroom, this kind of teaching method that is clear at a glance and full of pictures and texts is quite new.

The 'chalk' is made of natural limestone, and the black and white characters on the ink board are very conspicuous.

Fan Zhongyan didn't have the textbooks in the children's hands, and he didn't know what Tang Yi was making up for "Mengxue". However, you can also know by guessing that it is nothing more than things like "Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names".

So he looked up and saw Tang Yi writing on the ink board, wanting to see how he was going to teach.

Merely...

It's just that what is this kid doing like a ghost?

Tang Yi wrote for a long time, but Fan Dashen didn't know a word. However, Du Yan was very knowledgeable, and whispered to Fan Zhongyan: "It's like a kind of writing of a big food country." ”

"Big Food?" Fan Zhongyan was even more confused.

These Mengtong don't even know Chinese characters, what kind of food essay does Tang Yi write?

It's really not a big food.

The so-called Great Food Script means that the Arabic language was used in the Arab Empire of the same era as the Great Song Dynasty.

Tang Yi doesn't know Arabic, but Du Yan is right, what he is writing now is indeed the Latin alphabet that was introduced to the Central Plains by the Great Cannibals.

The Latin alphabet was first evolved by the Romans from the Egyptian alphabet and gradually spread throughout Europe. The Tang Dynasty was transmitted to the Central Plains by the Arabs, so Du Yan thought it was a great food.

Now you can also find the big food merchants who can write this kind of script in Kaifeng, but the Latin alphabet is only circulated among a few big food merchants and is not well known by the Song people.

Then why did Tang Yi get him out?

Picture save trouble!

The Lasi alphabet is the most widely used script in later generations, including in Chinese, which is Hanyu Pinyin.

The first problem in the establishment of a folk school is, of course, to teach children to read and write. And literacy, of course, is inseparable from the problem of phonetics.

Tang Yi, who was accustomed to pinyin phonetics in later generations, hated the 'reverse tangential phonetic method' used by the Great Song Dynasty, which was too troublesome and difficult!

The reverse cutting method, to put it bluntly, is to use two words to note the sound of a word, take the initial of the first word, combine it with the finals of the second word, and read the pronunciation of the new word.

For example, 'Zhihu' is 'Zhu'.

It is to take the initial 'zh' of the word 'zhi' and combine it with the initial 'u' of the word 'hu' to get the pronunciation of the word 'zhu'.

Not only is it tedious, but it's also easy to make mistakes.

Therefore, Tang Yihao did not hesitate to choose to teach the children the relatively simple method of 'pinyin phonetic method'.

――――――

ps: According to the pronunciation of ancient Chinese and the pronunciation of the dialects used at that time, modern pinyin is not necessarily suitable for the Great Song Dynasty...

But... You know, don't dwell on it.

I'm too timid to resist the ravages of the party of details. (To be continued.) )
