Chapter 821 Daming loves me, I love Daming

For the new rural areas that Su Yonglin inspected, the present day is a world apart from before Su Yonglin led his troops to liberate them.

In the past, it was difficult to eat a full meal, but now it is no longer something to be envied and praised.

Su Yonglin inspected the production status of these villages, the living standards of farmers and the achievements in literacy, and was quite satisfied with the results.

The president of the village's peasant association and the instructor accompanied Su Yonglin to every corner of the village, allowing Su Yonglin to see the whole picture of the village.

After walking around, Su Yonglin learned that the farmland in the village is now [-]% more than before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. In recent years, many new children have been added, and the population of the village has increased.

Because of the implementation of Su Yonglin's welfare policy of light repayment and low pay, farmers have accumulated more food, and basically there will be no more starvation, and it is not a big problem to eat enough food.

The country's grain reserve system has also been implemented here. Every year before the tax season begins, special personnel from the county go to the countryside to collect grain, and at the same time pay farmers some copper coins at the market price, and then the tax collectors come down to collect the copper coins directly.

In this process, the coin reserve of farmers has been increased, so that farmers have begun to have the ability to save and consume.

The road construction plan promoted by Su Yonglin has also been implemented in this county. Dirt roads from several villages to the county town have been built, which has greatly eased the difficulty for farmers to travel to the county town compared to the past.

While making it easier for the villagers to go to the county for consumption, some people in the village responded to the imperial court's poultry breeding plan and sent the excess poultry purchased by the imperial court for the army to the county to sell.

"In the past two years, more and more people have come to the county to buy things or do small businesses. The old Ma family and the old Liu family in the east of the village went to the county to sell chickens and ducks and made a lot of money. Now they send their children to the family. Went to study at the county school in the county.

The mother-in-law of the Zhao family in the west end of the village knows craftsmanship, and often makes up some small things, and also asks family members to carry them to the county to sell them, and they can exchange some money back. There are also many, which I have never dreamed of before. "

The chairman of the peasant association smiled and reported the changes in the village to Su Yonglin. Su Yonglin nodded repeatedly, very satisfied with this.

Then he looked at Li Hao, the instructor of the village.

"The work in the village is well done. In addition to production, I am more concerned about literacy. How is the literacy going? Are both adults and children in the village able to read?"

Li Hao nodded.

"Your Majesty said that literacy is a very important thing, so after the village has stabilized a little, we discussed building a shed, which can also protect from sun and rain, and treat it as a classroom, and let the villagers start literacy from common words. .

Children learn faster, adults learn slower. They can spend more than half an hour every day recognizing a few characters with us, writing, writing and drawing. After a few years of hard work, the people in the village can recognize almost the same characters. The official documents of the imperial court have no reading difficulties. "

Su Yonglin was very satisfied with this, and reached out and patted Li Hao's shoulder.

"well done."

Li Hao's happy face turned red.

"For adults, because they are busy with farming, teaching them to read is the limit. For young children, you can teach them to read and read at the level of Mongolian learning, and increase their cultural level. Nowadays, young children in villages are basically all The farmers are very happy to read and write in our shed."

"No, it was not easy to read and write in the past. Only good people in the village can save money and squeeze out a little money to send their children to a private school for a year or two to read, and come back after they have recognized a lot of characters. The main reason is to be able to read the official documents of the imperial court, so as not to be deceived."

The president of the peasant association, Wang Erhu, had lingering fears on his face: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the golden thief officials here were so bad that they were so bad to the core that they tried to deceive us because we couldn't understand the official documents of the imperial court.

Later we found out that the imperial court wanted to increase the tax, only [-] to [-] wen, but when it came to our head, it became [-] wen, how much money did those bastards deceive us. "

Su Yonglin was also deeply touched by this, so he also patted Wang Erhu on the shoulder.

"Yeah, if you don't know how to read, you can't avoid being deceived by others. If you don't read, you can't understand more truths. Unfortunately, now I can't make you all read and understand the truth. I'm sorry for you. "

"I dare not say that."

Wang Erhu blushed with excitement: "We, the mud guys in the field, can recognize a few words and can fill our stomachs, it is a great blessing, I don't dare to think more, these are all given to us by Your Majesty. Yes, we have it in our minds."

"This is what you deserve. It's just that some bad people took these things from you in the past, and now I'll take these things back, give them back to you, and guard you."

Su Yonglin smiled and said, "Nevertheless, you have to strive for yourselves and be more courageous. If there are still people who want to snatch these things back, you have to dare to slap them at them, protect what you deserve, and don't flinch. ."

"Hey! I know! I know! Whoever dares to take our land, we will fight with them!"

Wang Erhu rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Okay, take me to that shed. I want to see how the children read."

Of course they would not refuse Su Yonglin's request, so the two led Su Yonglin to the teaching shed.

After walking for a while, after a distance, Su Yonglin heard the voice of the child reciting.

[When the sun and the moon shine, it is for the Great Ming Kingdom, the Great Ming Kingdom loves me, and I love the Great Ming Kingdom]

[One or a Ming country, one tile roof to start a family, they all say that the country is very big, in fact, one family is full of the country, and the family is supported by one hand. The family is the smallest country, and the country is thousands of families]

[The country is my country, the home is my home, there is no strong country, there is no rich home]

After listening for a while, Su Yonglin stepped forward and stood a little further away, looking under a simple rain shelter. A group of young children surrounded a young man, who wrote one by one on a slate with a charcoal pen. , and then lead the children to recite it.

He taught the children how to pronounce each word, and then recited the words one by one, five, six, seven or eight times, and then explained the meaning of each word to the children.

After the explanation, let the children pick up the pen and paper and start writing on the paper. He looked at them one by one and tutored them one by one, very seriously.

Su Yonglin nodded slowly.

Su Yonglin has considered the Three Character Classic as an enlightenment textbook for young children, and thinks it is a good enlightenment textbook.

However, he then thought that the Three Character Classic is full of Confucian moral and cultural requirements such as loyalty and filial piety, even ignorance of loyalty and filial piety, requiring young children to follow the Confucian hierarchy from childhood, and instilling such things in children can only educate a group of A Confucian scholar who shakes his head and pays attention to the concept of hierarchy.

This does not meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Therefore, Su Yonglin presided over the relevant person in charge of the revival meeting to compile Daming Kingdom's own enlightenment textbooks, integrating the concept of family and country, which is very important for the construction of Daming Kingdom in the future, into the Mongolian learning textbooks, which is divorced from the traditional Confucian education content.

As for some positive and good moral education, listed separately, it has nothing to do with the Confucian system.

Good moral qualities, such as filial piety to parents and brothers, are the natural pursuits of human beings. They naturally exist in human society and have no necessary connection with Confucianism.
