Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Chapter 321 Simulating Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian!

Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin's side.

At this time, Mei Yin's school did not start immediately.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but there are still some corresponding preparations that need to be made.

For example, the corresponding teaching staff is one of the major problems that needs to be solved.

In the future, Mei Yin will definitely work as a teacher in school and teach some courses.

However, he alone could not teach all the subjects.

In this day and age, it is not easy to find people who are capable and willing to teach in a school like his.

After all, what I am doing here is different from what people usually see.

Once what happened here gets out, I will be ridiculed by those self-important people...

For various reasons, many people are unwilling to come and coach.

What's more, those who come here to teach will not be able to teach directly after arriving here in the future.

He needs to take the textbooks and teach these people first, and then they can teach the students.

This seems to be difficult to do...

However, if you really do it, it’s not that difficult to do.

On the one hand, it is because Mei Yin has some money
On the other hand, Mei Yin also has a very good foreign aid.

That is Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen was also a very famous civil official and strategist in the early Ming Dynasty.

With his face, it would be possible to get some people here...

"Xiao Yin, you have to let me see what you are going to teach first.

If this...is not very reliable, even if I invite someone here.

The other party probably won’t be able to teach…”

Liu Bowen looked at Mei Yin and spoke.

At this time, Liu Bowen had already arrived at Shuangshui Village.

Originally, Mei Yin was planning to ask him to come out of seclusion, but before Mei Yin could take any action, Liu Bowen had already arrived at Mei Yin's place.

The main reason is that after listening to what Mei Yin said, I couldn't sit still anymore.

I wanted to come and see what my grandson-in-law was thinking.

See if you can get some surprises.

Many people feel that their grandson-in-law is fooling around.

But he felt that this should not be the case. It was very likely that this good grandson-in-law had come up with some brilliant ideas and given people some surprises. It was not impossible.

Mei Yin immediately took out the teaching materials he had prepared and let Liu Bowen take a look.

At this time, Liu Bowen's way of addressing Mei Yin was also very different.

From the original Mei Xiaoyou, he became Xiao Yin at this time.

He seemed to be regarding himself as Mei Yin's elder.

Mei Yin naturally didn't say much.

Liu Bowen took the textbook that Mei Yin gave him.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!"

After just one look at the cover, Liu Bowen couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Then he opened it and started reading it.

At this time, he was holding the Chinese language book written by Mei Yin.

After opening it and flipping through it for a while, I quickly discovered the difference.

This is very different from the classics, history, and miscellaneous books he is familiar with.

It's a hodgepodge.

"Two or three miles away, there were four or five houses in Yancun, six or seven pavilions, and eighty or ninety flowers..."

He couldn't help but read it out loud.

"Youth comes where the sun does not shine.

The moss flowers are as small as rice grains, but they try to bloom like peonies. "

"Good, well written!"

He couldn't help but praise out loud.

If you think about it, you will understand the wonderful use of it.

Although this poem is a bit simple to read, it becomes understandable when you think that it is meant to enlighten children.

The key is that this not only allows children to learn numbers, but also has a lofty purpose and encourages people to strive for self-improvement.

Don't feel sorry for yourself.

You can't give up trying just because you come from a low background...

After Liu Bowen finished reading several Chinese textbooks, he lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Xiao Yin, the textbook you compiled is quite good.

All aspects are included.

It is really good for educating children.

It has the subtle and profound meaning of the saints’ words.

There are also some exquisite poems.

It also contains many educational teachings such as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

It is also easy to understand, making it easier for people to accept and learn.

It is really good for enlightenment..."

If other people of this era, such as Song Lian and other old-fashioned people, read this Chinese textbook made by Mei Yin,

I will definitely spray it to pieces as soon as possible.

Things like arrogance and prejudice will make them look at things through tinted glasses.

They are simply unwilling to think deeply about it. As long as it is different from what they have done, it would be a huge sin.

They are unwilling to look deeper and think more deeply.

Or maybe some people looked and thought deeply about it.

You can also see the benefits here.

However, because of different positions and interests, they deliberately slander and are unwilling to admit it.

The reason why Liu Bowen was able to give such an evaluation was that, on the one hand, the ambitions of Liu Bowen and those people had become very different by now.

In addition, it is because Mei Yin is his grandson-in-law.

From the beginning to now, he has witnessed many magical aspects of Mei Yin.

On this matter, I am willing to watch, listen and think more.

That's why I gave such a fair evaluation.

“Compared to other enlightenment books, I think the one you made, Xiao Yin, is better.

It’s more useful and allows people to get started faster.”

Hearing what Liu Bowen said, Mei Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

By the way, he was somewhat afraid that Liu Bowen would be stubborn and would criticize the textbooks he had made.

I don't agree with his actions.

If this is true, then the next thing to do will be somewhat difficult.

Fortunately, that is not the case.

"Mr. Qingtian, I think this is what teaching is all about.

Since it is enlightenment, it must be easy to understand so that it can better lead people into the door.

The essence of teaching is to teach and educate people, not to deliberately set up difficulties, set up thresholds, and keep many people out. "

Mei Yin's words made Liu Bowen's heart tremble.

I just felt like I was hit by something.

The essence of teaching is to teach and educate people, not to deliberately set up barriers to keep more people out...

I have never thought much about this aspect.

He was suddenly shocked when Mei Yin said this.

Although Mei Yin's words were simple and straightforward, they contained deep meaning.

"Well! Well said! If it weren't for Xiao Yin, you would have said it at this time.

I had never really thought about these things before.

"Yes! Education itself is about teaching and educating people.

In this case, we must definitely simplify things.

Let more people come through this door.

Instead of deliberately making it difficult, raising the threshold and keeping people out.

This matter cannot be made particularly utilitarian.

I only think about the imperial examinations and becoming an official!"

At this moment, many things emerged in Liu Bowen's mind.

I was so excited.

I became extremely convinced of what Mei Yin had done.

Having said this, he immediately opened the Chinese textbook and took out the arithmetic textbook.

I flipped through two pages at random and my eyes widened immediately.

There was confusion in his eyes.

No...what's written on it?
Of course, he understood those words.

But... besides words, why are there so many... weird tadpole-like characters?
He turned to the first page and looked at it carefully, and soon understood what these earthworm-like things meant.

Because Mei Yin wrote the corresponding Chinese characters "一二三四五……零" on the first page.

At the same time, the corresponding symbols such as '+, -, ×, ÷' are also written.

“I think the numbers in the past were a bit too cumbersome to write down and not conducive to calculation.

It is also not good for writing, and the speed is not too slow.

So we use this kind of text instead.

In this way, future calculations will be much faster.

Moreover, when writing reports or taking notes.

Among a bunch of words, using these numbers will make them stand out.

It can be seen at a glance..."

Mei Yin told Liu Bowen the benefits of doing so.

Liu Bowen listened to Mei Yin's story and thought carefully.

Then, he picked up a pen and wrote "12345..." on a piece of paper according to what was written in Mei Yin's textbook.

At first, I felt a little awkward.

But soon, I became proficient in it.

After reading the book several times, Liu Bowen nodded secretly.

Things are exactly as Mei Yin said.

After making this change, it indeed became easier to write and easier to calculate... After some attempts, Liu Bowen became more and more satisfied with the numbers that Mei Yin came up with.

I have deeply realized its usefulness.

Just by trying to write, you can see so many benefits.

If we carry out a large number of verifications in the future, wouldn’t the benefits we gain be greater?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he felt.

My grandson-in-law did not disappoint me.

There are always many wonderful ideas.

"Xiao Yin, did you make these too?"

Restraining his curiosity and shock, Liu Bowen looked at Mei Yin and asked.

In his opinion, there is a high possibility that these strange words were created by Mei Yin.

Mei Yin shook his head and said, "No, it was a long time ago when I met foreign merchants and saw some people using such characters to count.

So I wrote it down.

I feel that using such text to count is really very convenient.

Therefore, when compiling teaching materials, we will use it.

As for the symbols for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, some are there, and some are not...

Mei Yin gave him a rather vague explanation.

Liu Bowen was extremely excited when he heard this.

I just think that my grandson-in-law is really talented!
I really found a treasure!

At the same time, I also felt a little emotional. I didn't expect that there would be such talented people in this foreign country.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he should not be too narrow-minded in the future.

We need to look more outside...

"However, this thing also has a disadvantage..."

After a while, Liu Bowen looked at Mei Yin and spoke.

“That is, it is too easy to write.

It is easy for people to make alterations.

Just like this..."

As he spoke, he lightly stroked the pen and changed 1 into 2.

And it also makes it difficult for people to see many traces.

Then he used the pen to stroke again and changed 3 into 8.

Seeing this, Mei Yin couldn't help but nodded.

As expected, he is Liu Bowen, he is extraordinary.

In such a short period of time, it is more than just being able to accept this.

And you can also see the shortcomings from it.

He immediately said, "That's true. This thing is indeed easy to tamper with.
But wouldn't it be better if we don't use this number to get the important results?"

Hearing Mei Yin's words, Liu Bowen's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately thought of what Mei Yin meant.

Write down 'one, two, three, four, five...' on this paper right now

"Xiao Yin, you're right. This is indeed more difficult to change than that one."

Mei Yin shook his head and said, “It’s not that this cannot be changed.

Especially one and two, which are the easiest to change. "

As he spoke, Mei Yin picked up a pen and wrote down capital numbers such as 'one, two, three, four, five...' on the paper in front of him.

"Mr. Qingtian, you can use these to write in important places."

When Liu Bowen saw this, he was immediately cheered up.

After watching it for a while, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Great! Wonderful! It's really wonderful!

It’s you, Xiao Yin, who has to take action.

With this counting method, no one can tamper with it at will in the future!

Great, this is another great achievement!
Xiao Yin, what's wrong with your head?

You can even think of so many things!"

Liu Bowen praised Mei Yin continuously.

In the future, when we have such extremely complex numbers to write and simple numbers like this to verify each other, it will be simply an unparalleled weapon.

This was something they had never thought of before.

As a result, Mei Yin not only thought of it, but also came up with a particularly good solution.

"Mr. Qingtian, these are just some things I thought of occasionally. They are not a big deal."

Mei Yin said with a laugh.

To be honest, he was somewhat embarrassed about this matter.

After all, he knew this 'one, two, three, four, five...'

These capital numbers were not determined until the Hongwu period.

One of the reasons is that the Guo Huan case, one of the four famous cases of Hongwu, contained too much favoritism and fraud.

Too much corruption.

So after this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that this number should be used for counting.

This was equivalent to bringing out the things invented and created during the Hongwu Dynasty in advance and showing them to the people of the Hongwu Dynasty.

Even though he was a bit thick-skinned, he still felt embarrassed.

After Liu Bowen looked at the corresponding numbers, he continued to read on.

I soon became fascinated by it.

As a top figure of this era, Liu Bowen had dabbled in a wide range of subjects, so it was naturally impossible that he only knew classics and history.

He also dabbled in arithmetic.

In his opinion, the teaching materials written by Mei Yin are very easy to understand.

It is also written for beginners.

But then you can turn to the later parts and it will gradually become more profound.

Involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division...

In particular, he also came up with a lot of laws in this arithmetic textbook.

It uses relatively simple and straightforward language, but it summarizes it very accurately.

Just looking at it makes people feel shocked.

It gives people a feeling of enlightenment.

Before I knew it, I was fascinated by it.

I just think that Mei Yin’s mathematics textbooks are so well compiled and so admirable.

From easy to difficult, from shallow to deep, step by step, and clear...

In addition, a lot of application questions are also compiled in it.

Although topics such as chickens and rabbits in the same cage are not in the textbooks, the topics written in simple and plain language are also very good.

And it's easy to understand.

Especially when I think about what Mei Yin said before, education is to teach and educate people.

We need to try our best to explain things in a simple and easy-to-understand way so that more people can understand them.

I became more and more impressed with Mei Yin's writing of this textbook.

Before I knew it, it was already dark...

After seeing Mei Yin light the lamp and it lit up.

He suddenly realized that it had already gotten late without him noticing.

He has been sitting here watching for most of the day...

"Mr. Qingtian, take a rest.

It’s not too late to read it after dinner.”

Mei Yin said to Liu Bowen with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bowen stood up, stretched, and put down the book in his hand reluctantly.

At this time, he had already seen the fourth grade textbooks.

Although now, Meiyin is preparing to teach these first and second graders.

But because of the mathematics textbooks, he received a very complete one.

So before this, the corresponding information had already been sorted out.

There are classes all the way up to ninth grade.

"Xiao Yin, this arithmetic textbook you made is really ingenious and amazing.

Leave the matter of finding teachers for the school to me.

I know some people who, after seeing the textbook you made, Xiao Yin, would definitely be happy to teach you."

Liu Bowen took the entire task upon himself.

What he said was extremely certain.

Speaking of which, when Liu Bowen first came here and learned about Mei Yin's intentions, he had actually decided that he must not let down his grandson-in-law.

Even if Mei Yin didn’t do a good job in teaching materials.

He had to sacrifice some of his reputation and force a few people to come over to teach.

But now, after seeing this teaching material, these thoughts in my mind disappeared.

With teaching materials like this, why would you even bother to sacrifice your dignity and force people to follow you?
As long as you reveal some of the content, many people will come here without you having to say anything.

At this time, Liu Bowen's mood was extremely complicated.

At the same time, there is a strong sense of pride in my heart.

Although he had high expectations for what Mei Yin was going to do from the very beginning.

But after coming here, I was still surprised by the big surprise that Mei Yin created.

He is indeed my grandson-in-law...

……

On the second day, Liu Bowen left Mei Yin.

At the same time, he also took away several printed textbooks.

After returning, he sent out letters one after another...

……

Seven or eight days later, a fat monk received Liu Bowen's letter.

I opened it with some doubts...
