Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 116 Everything is inferior, only reading is high

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the highest reward the emperor gave to ministers was the iron coupon, which was used to prevent ministers from breaking the law (except for treason). As long as you did not throw it away (it is estimated that no one would throw it away), and chop off your head with a knife If you take it out beforehand, you can avoid death.

Many ministers tried their best to get one for the sake of their heads, because no matter what kind of gold or silver coupons they had, they were not as useful as this iron coupon. Some who were lucky enough to get it would even put it in the lobby of their home and offer it to everyone who came. It will be shown to the other party.

It's like having two heads with this iron coupon.

What they didn't know was that this thing was completely useless in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

When offered as an offering, it was a ticket to avoid death, but when it came time to use it, it became a life-threatening talisman.

During the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a total of 34 people were awarded death-free tickets by Zhu Yuanzhang, but only a few people died happily.

When I really want to kill you, no coupon will be of any use.

This iron coupon can only work when Lao Zhu doesn't want to kill people. Its function is just to give Lao Zhu a step down and use it to stop the courtiers' mouths.

Mananshan is very lucky to be in this situation.

Of course, don't think about official titles.

For a guy who is stupid enough to be defrauded of all his wealth by a brothel woman, having too much money will actually harm him.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and told him to go back to his hometown in Huaixi to farm.

Being penniless, these women would never cheat an old man out of his semen.

Li Jin also came to Yangzhou National Primary School as a teacher as promised.

As a scholar who could participate in the Enke Examination, there is no need to doubt Li Jin's knowledge.

Before coming, he thought the same thing.

Because according to Yang Xian's explanation, the objects of his teaching are only some children who are just learning.

But on the first day he arrived at Yangzhou National Primary School, he was stunned and stunned.

He stood at the door of the classroom and watched Yang Xian writing on the dark wooden board with a small white note.

You must know that as far as teaching is concerned, at this time, whether in private schools or official schools, the masters all used sandboxes to write in class.

Moreover, what Yang Xian taught in class completely subverted his cognition.

He listened carefully for a while, and what he was talking about was the theory of studying things to achieve knowledge.

Classroom discipline was also completely different from the private school he remembered.

The students are relaxed and undisciplined, and often ask strange questions or even directly interrupt the teacher's speech.

"Sir, sir, you said water will turn into that kind of water vapor. Why have I never seen the water vapor you mentioned?"

"Sir, you said that water has buoyancy and can make objects float, so why do people still drown?"

"Mr. Mr."

The class is very lively.

In Li Jin's eyes, it was like a vegetable market.

It was so rude. When he was a child in private school, such a child would have his hands swollen and then stand in the sun for a whole day!
A class passed quickly.

After the children said goodbye to Yang Xian, they ran away happily.

Yang Xian noticed Li Jin outside the classroom early on and waved to him with a smile.Seeing Yang Xian greeting him, Li Jin hurriedly walked in.

"Li Jin has met Mr. Yang." As soon as Li Jin entered the room, he gave a big salute to Yang Xian.

Seeing Li Jin like this, Yang Xian knew that his uncle's matter in Beijing should be settled.

Sure enough, after asking, it was pretty much what he thought.

Although Ma Sandao was dismissed from his position, he was able to save his life, but in this way he completely lost his income.Originally, Li Jin relied on Masandao to support his studies, but now it's the other way around.

Li Jin had an embarrassed look on his face and said, "In this case, I don't know when I can pay back the 800 taels of silver I owe you."

"As agreed, the money is an advance salary for you, so don't take it to heart anymore." Yang Xian patted Li Jin on the shoulder and said. "By the way, what are your uncle's plans next?"

"According to His Majesty's decree, I will return to my hometown in Huaixi to farm." Li Jin said truthfully.

People like Masandao really don't know how to do anything except killing people and fighting.

But at least he was loyal to the brothers around him, which can be seen from the fact that he used his own money to help the widows and orphans of his dead brothers.

If he could calm down, Yang Xian could give him a guard job.

He thought about it and decided that there was no need to rush into this matter. It was just a time for him to work on the land to temper his temper.Now that Li Jin has this level of connection, if Ma San Dao is really useful in the future, just look for him.

If you really think about it, he owes himself a life.

Yang Xian knew in his heart that the more someone like Ma Sandao, the more important they were to this kind of thing.

It is not impossible to repay Ma San Dao with his life.

The two chatted.

Li Jin suddenly talked about the white strips that Yang Xian used to write on when he was teaching and the big blackboard.

Seeing that the other person was asking about this, Yang Xian smiled and said: "You said it's chalk and blackboard. In the past, whether it was a private school or a government school, sandboxes were used for teaching. The sandbox can only write too few words at a time, and it is really troublesome to use. , it is easier and more intuitive to write it down like this. So I replaced it with this one.”

As he spoke, Yang Xian picked up the chalk and wrote a word on the blackboard.

He then said: "Besides, sand table teaching has too many disadvantages. Often when you write a word, the sand table has to be flattened. The teaching gentlemen only demonstrate the writing method of a word to the students. Most of the knowledge is taught orally. Under such circumstances, students must be required to pay close attention when the teacher is speaking and not miss any of his words. After the teacher has finished speaking, they must try to write down the lecture notes according to their own understanding."

"As a result, it is actually quite difficult for students who are not particularly smart or self-conscious to keep up with the teaching progress."

Although what Yang Xian said is indeed reasonable, in Li Jin's view, he still doesn't think there is anything wrong with the sand table teaching method.

You must know that this teaching method has been going on for thousands of years and has been verified by history. As for the things Yang Xian mentioned later, it is not a problem in Li Jin's mind. At this time, he is still a Confucian scholar in his mind. set of ideas.

In Li Jin's heart, studying is a very sacred thing.

The so-called all things are inferior, only reading is high.

Knowledge is something for the superior people. If you want to become a superior person, how can you do it if you don't want to endure hardship?

If you can't even concentrate in class, how will you succeed in the future?

Li Jin frowned, neither agreeing nor denying Yang Xian's statement.

He took a step forward, followed Yang Xian's example, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote a word on the blackboard.

The frown deepened.
