Northern Dynasties

"The yellow sand wears the golden armor in a hundred battles. If you don't break Loulan, you will never return it!"

On the playground of the prefectural school, groups of young schoolchildren were jogging in circles while singing songs.They may not know what the lyrics of these ballads mean, but when they sing them aloud with their companions, they will feel enthusiasm and blood boiling in their hearts.

There are more than 20 similar lyrics, all of which are transcribed inside and outside the school. If students are interested, they can copy them with charcoal pencils and recite them day and night on their own boards.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read, there will be an extra hour of class every day before nightfall in the school, dedicated to explaining these words and sentences. If the students are interested, they can participate in the lectures. If they are not interested, they can rest early, because this is only an elective course.

Similar elective courses include "Analysis" and so on. Of course, there are also books such as "Principles of Geometry" written by Li Dadu himself.

Although it is an elective course, the knowledge information and system logic contained in it are actually higher than those of the major courses. The purpose is to select students who are interested in learning and have higher intelligence than their peers, so as to enter the next stage teaching.

As for the major courses of the government school, it has actually changed several times.The first course I used was "Thousand Characters", but Tiandi Xuanhuang learned a set, and most of the state residents and schoolchildren said they didn't know what they learned. After all, it is still difficult for them to understand Thousand Characters with their knowledge and experience. , and there is no need to write fantasy novels and use this mysterious grading.

Sensing the rural people's demand for so-called serious skills and knowledge, the second edition of the literacy textbook uses the content of agricultural books on farming and mulberry breeding such as "The Classic of Fish Farming".This is why Li Tai sent people to Xiangyang to visit and ask for it. Among other things, Nanliang people still have a way of collecting books and studying.

Not to mention these old agricultural books from the Han and Jin Dynasties, even "Qi Min Yao Shu", which was newly published by Jia Sixie in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Li Tai searched for it but found no trace, has some manuscripts and chapters circulating in Xiangyang.Moreover, it is said that in Jiankang City, far away in Nanliang, there is already a complete copy of "Qi Min Yao Shu".

However, these dignitaries in Nanliang are only fond of collecting books, not farming. Although collecting all kinds of books is very exciting, most of them are shelved regardless of whether they are useful or not.It is those metaphysical theories that are really used in efficient study.

The use of this second edition of the textbook was lively for a few days at the beginning, and even some state residents came to the school to join in the fun, but after a few days, the disadvantages were still revealed.

Because these advanced scholars are basically completely illiterate and do not know a single character, it is still very difficult to make them literate and learn to accept texts with a huge amount of information from the beginning.Therefore, these agricultural books have also become the content of elective studies, which are used as advanced courses for school children.

Up to now, Fuxue has finally determined the textbooks for literacy and enlightenment, namely "24 Solar Terms Songs" and "Three Hundred Agricultural Proverbs".

Such as "a plow of rain in spring, ten thousand tons of grain in autumn", "the wind does not move in the small heat, and the frost comes late", etc. These agricultural proverbs are based on the summary of farmers' production, passed on by word of mouth, and are catchy. The content is also familiar to these peasant children.

Some have heard their parents often chanting, while others have never heard of it, and they are carefully remembered in their hearts. When they return home, they will sing and talk in front of their parents and villagers, and then write on the ground with branches. People were blowing their praises, and that scene was exciting just thinking about it!
In recent days, Li Tai would go to the school for a stroll in his free time, listen to the students reading, look at the charcoal graffiti inside and outside the school building, and see some naughty and dull school children who were punished to stand outside the school building while wiping While stuttering and reciting farm songs with tears in his eyes, he felt very happy in his heart, these scumbags will be severely punished!
The scale of the prefectural school is not small, and the schoolchildren of the school age in Jingzhou gather here, and only about half of the building area occupied is used, and the rest is still for others to use.

Li Tai opened a printing workshop in the government school, but it has not officially started printing books yet.

Because Jingzhou has been in chaos for many years, although it relies on Xiangyang, the atmosphere of worshiping Buddhism is not strong, and there are not many Buddhist temples, so it is not easy to directly copy the Buddhist temples and then develop the production of engraving and printing ink, so it is still waiting for Guanzhong to send some Craftsmen came to build these supporting industries to officially print books.

Of course, the most important thing to engage in the printing industry is book knowledge.Guanzhong was originally a cultural desert. The printing workshop Li Tai opened in Shangyuan mainly relied on official document printing to hone his skills. He had accumulated a lot of technology, but the printed books were very limited.Now that I have come to Jingzhou, of course it is not good to continue fooling around.

Most of the time in the Southern Dynasties, Xiangyang was an image of a border town full of mighty Wuzong, but the cultural atmosphere was much stronger than that of Mianbei and even Chang'an in Guanzhong.

In just a few months, Li Tai had people collect thousands of volumes of books in the Xiangyang market, but the ones that were really high-grade and high-quality were mainly gifted by Yueyang King Xiao Xi.

This guy makes money and is collaborating with the enemy and traitorously, but he is also a man of culture. When he came to Yongzhou to take office, he brought five or six thousand volumes of books with him. He also gave Li Tai hundreds of copies of calligraphy by famous people in the Southern Dynasties, including the calligrapher Wang Xizhi. Posts.

So Li Tai built a library building in the school to store books collected from Xiangyang and other places, and assigned the extremely qualified post of library administrator to his father Li Xiao.

Li Xiao is also very satisfied with this position. He had no ambition to be an official. He started farming, studied and became self-reliant when he was in Qinghe, Hebei in his early years. He was called into the mansion by the King of Yueyang to do a similar job before. Now he is sitting in the library building built by his son. It can be said that life is quite comfortable for reviewing and sorting out books that are continuously collected from various places.

Sometimes he was obsessed with reading, so Li Xiao simply stayed in this library building, and when he was thirsty or hungry, he went straight to the canteen of the state capital to have a meal with the schoolchildren.

On this day, after inspecting the school, Li Tai went to the library to call his father back home for dinner. The father and son were busy with their own business and hadn't seen each other for more than ten days.Li Tai also suddenly felt that this was a bit unfilial, so he rushed over to have a look.

When he came here, he saw Yan Zheng and several other guards who were arranged here were digging pits and transplanting pines and cypresses in the yard.These trees can not only decorate the courtyard, but also insulate the noise, because it was already midsummer when the school was completed, and the best time for tree transplantation was missed, so we waited until autumn to do it.

"The lord is here!"

When Yan Zheng saw Li Tai, he shouted loudly, this kid was always with him after he was rescued by Li Tai from Longyou, and later Li Xiao knew that this boy was actually a descendant of his benefactor Yan Xin, so he took him from Li Tai Bring this kid here, and plan to educate him again in person.

But looking at Yan Zheng's messy hakama pleats, dusty sweat all over his face, he must have been fighting with those teenagers in the academy again, it can be seen that the results of this education are really limited.

Li Tai waved his hand to stop the guards from shouting salutations, raised his finger and pointed to the library with a questioning look in his eyes, and then walked in slowly after seeing a few people nodding their heads for confirmation.

The first floor of this library building is a lobby for receiving guests and giving lectures, but the students in the school are obviously not good enough to come here to listen to lectures, and Cui Qian and others are busy with work, and they rarely have time to visit here, so it seems Somewhat empty.

Li Tai walked around the main hall and walked into the living room on the side, and saw several volumes of books placed on the desk, and his father Li Xiao was lying on his side on the couch behind the desk, eyes closed and dozing.

Hearing the rustling sound of Li Tai flipping through the books, Li Xiaocai woke up. Seeing that his son had arrived, he sat up on the couch and said with a smile, "Why do you have time to come to the school today? I heard Shi Xun the other day. It is said that you have not returned from the southern tour, so what happened in the south?"

"There are some accidents, but they are not big."

Li Tae went to the south for inspection a few days ago, because Liu Zhongli, the governor of Nanliang Sizhou, who was in Anlu, Handong, was ordered to lead his troops to the east. He wanted to see what was going on in Handong and whether there were any opportunities, so he arranged relevant investigations. The scouting mission, only went for less than two days before returning.

He knew that his father had no interest or insight into these strategic plans, so he stopped talking, pointed to the annotations made by his father in the scroll, and asked with a smile: "Aye's commentary on the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" is a record of history. History? I heard that Fan’s hometown is in Nanyang, and if we pay more attention to it, there may still be descendants who are deeply learned by him in the village, so we can quote it to Aye!”

After Li Xiao heard this, he sighed and said with a smile: "When you were young, you did not miss the advice of your parents. How much did you learn from my family? The Fan family has a long lineage. Even if you visit the family line in this town, it must be different. Two types."

Li Tai's expression became embarrassing again after hearing the words, why do you think Fan Ye's family brought me again.

He slandered inwardly, seeing that Aye's living room was a bit messy, so he said again: "Yan Zheng is a careless young man, and he is reluctant to take care of himself. Let the state government send two servants and maidservants over, and Aye's daily life is also a bit messy." Be more comfortable."

"No, no, no, Yan Zheng is already a little noisy here, don't let other words, ears, eyes and eyes come over to disturb my quietness!"

After Li Xiao heard the words, he shook his head and waved his hands to refuse, while putting away his manuscripts, he turned around and said hopefully: "I heard you said that it is possible to welcome the Kanto family once, how do you know now? Aye I'm not urging you, I know you're busy here, and it's inevitable that you'll be mentally exhausted if you're distracted by other things, since your brother is free in Chang'an, why don't we two do this?"

Li Tai knew that his father missed his family, but being in the enemy's territory was too restrictive and dangerous. Li Yunxin waited for more than a year, and he was able to settle down in Jinyang City not long ago. Make an effort, especially to wait for the right moment.

So he comforted his father and said: "Those who are able to do things can get twice the result with half the effort. Aye and I both worry too much and care will lead to chaos. If we can't restrain ourselves and act recklessly and let people notice, it will be bad. Aye, you Don't worry, Grandmother and others have all moved to Jinyang, which is the place where my tribe used to run rampant, and good news will come back after waiting for a while!"
