Chapter 77 Teachings of Later Generations

Chao Chao watched him running away and asked worriedly, "Is Brother Yuanyuan angry?"

"No, when I see him again later, he will definitely be smiling."

He Zheyan said, holding Chao Chao's hand and walking out, "Let's go to the study."

Chao Chao nodded obediently and took a few steps. After thinking for a while, she asked in a low voice, "Cousin, the car, did you assemble the car?"

He Zheyan smiled and patted her head, whispering, "Chao Chao is really smart, but just pretend you don't know. Don't expose him, or else your brother Yuanyuan will lose face."

Chao Chao nodded vigorously, "I know, I won't tell him, so he will be very happy."

He Zheyan's eyes were gentle, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw the little girl pursing her lips seriously. How could his smart, cute and sensible sister have to meet those inhumane bastards?

Once he finds Shangliu Village, he will definitely teach those people a lesson.

As the two of them were talking, they slowly walked up to the third floor.

He Zheyan had his own study room here. Although it wasn't as big as his grandfather's, it was also well-stocked. Yuanyuan, being younger, was temporarily sharing the room with him. He was already sitting in the study, pretending to read.

He snorted coldly when he saw the two people come in. But the next moment, he still moved aside with his books, giving up half of his small table for Chao Chao to share.

He Zheyan saw it and smiled.

Chaochao didn't see it, she was very nervous at the moment.

When she saw the bookshelves on three walls after entering the room, her breath stopped, especially when she saw that they were filled with books. She was even a little afraid to move around, for fear that if she moved too much, she would accidentally break something in the study.

Therefore, she almost walked by He Zheyan's hand.

Even when He Zheyan pressed her shoulders and made her sit on a small chair, she was still very reserved.

He Zheyan walked over and rummaged through the small bookshelf nearby, found a digital picture book that Yuanyuan had used before, then took a blank notebook and a few pens, and sat down cross-legged at the small table next to Chaochao.

"Chao Chao, let's start with the simple things and learn numbers first. Chao Chao? Chao Chao? What's wrong with you?"

"No. Nothing." Chao Chao hurriedly shook his head, then nodded, "I suddenly remembered that I need to go wash my hands."

After saying that, he stood up, tiptoed out of the study, and went outside to wash his hands.

He Zheyan, “…”

In fact, there is also a bathroom in the study.

Chaochao went out for a long time. When He Zheyan was about to suspect that she didn't want to study, she came back with her little hands raised, not daring to touch anything else, and walked to the small desk and sat down again.

Then he took a deep breath and said very solemnly, "I'm fine."

He Zheyan, “…”

He couldn't help but hold his forehead and shook his head with a smile, but he didn't say anything. After knowing Chaochao's experience, he guessed that learning might be a very rare thing for Chaochao in the past.

In fact, Chao Chao is not the only one who has this mentality. Most of the people in Daqi under the sky think that this is the way it should be.

Not only those poor families who might never touch a book in their entire lives, but even many scholars from well-off families felt that washing their hands before reading was a basic requirement. Seeing Chao Chao coming back after washing his hands, they nodded seriously.

But after Chaochao sat down, they couldn't help but stretch their necks to see how they taught.

He Zheyan moved the picture book in front of Chao Chao and said, "Come, let's learn ten numbers first."

He pointed at the picture book and taught Chaochao to read it, then picked up a pen and wrote down the ten numbers in the notebook.

As he wrote, he said, "These are called Arabic numerals. The ten numbers from zero to nine can all be written with one stroke. Isn't that easier to remember? Let me tell you another interesting fact. These ten numbers, if you add one stroke, can become eight."

As he spoke, he added up all the numbers.

Chao Chao widened her eyes in surprise, "Really? This is amazing."

Although the number eight becomes weird and twisted after adding some strokes, it is indeed eight.

"Chao Chao, do you want to try it yourself?"

He Zheyan gave her the pen. Chaochao didn't dare to touch the pen at first, but now she couldn't control her curiosity, so she took the pen and carefully drew on the paper.

She learned the numbers in almost no time.

Not only her, but the people of Daqi under the sky were also learning, especially many ordinary people who could not afford to go to school. At this moment, they were almost eagerly following along. Some of the more clever ones were already using tree branches to gesture on the ground.

"This cousin is really good at teaching. I always thought I was pretty dumb, but I didn't expect that in just a short while, he's already learned ten numbers."

"Me too, me too. From now on I can be considered a literate person, hehe."

Some people also poured cold water on the idea, saying, "What's the point of learning these numbers? They are written by later generations, and they are different from ours. Even if you learn them, you won't be able to use them in the future."

"Who said that? Now everyone can see the sky curtain and follow suit. Isn't it the same?"

This made sense. The man had no words to refute and could only snort coldly and leave.

Many scholars also followed suit. Compared to ordinary people, they already had a basic understanding of reading and writing, so they naturally learned more quickly. "These numbers are easy to recognize, write, and remember. They are much more convenient than what we have now."

Especially the numbers after ten, which can be completed in two or three strokes and do not take up much space.

Emperor Jingxuan had already written down these numbers on the paper in front of him, but as he looked at them, he couldn't help but frown.

After a while, he sighed, "These Arabic numerals are simple and easy to remember, but because of this, they are too easy to be tampered with."

Didn't you see He Zheyan's move just now? All the numbers can become eight.

Chaochao didn't have as many ideas as Emperor Jingxuan, but after she learned the numbers, she went to look at the picture book. As she looked at it, she found that there was a small character at the bottom, which looked very complicated.

She had questions, so she pointed at the word and asked He Zheyan.

The latter explained, "This is a capital number. Doesn't it look difficult?"

Seeing Chao Chao nod, he smiled and said, "Our ancient scholars used this font. Although we use it less now, it is very practical in some important occasions. For example, some certificates and contracts will use uppercase numbers after the Arabic numerals to prevent tampering. As long as the Arabic numerals and uppercase font are consistent, there is no problem."
