The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 178: Movable Type Printing

Song Wei told Xin Zimo something.

But he didn't tell him where the group of children came from.

But Xin Zimo didn't care about these, all his attention was focused on Song Wei's plan to build a school.

And now the people in Zhen'an County are willing to learn Chinese characters because of Song Wei.

Naturally, he would not mind this little request, and he was willing to teach them.

"The school is divided into a grade system. There are seven grades in total. The first grade is just beginning to read, and the second grade teaches them some basic math and articles, and then the third and fourth grades and so on."

Song Wei looked at Xin Zimo and said again.

Xin Zimo looked at Song Wei in astonishment, he didn't expect Song Wei to be so thoughtful.

Xin Zimo still knows the basics of numerology, so don't worry, he frowned after thinking about it and said: "My lord, it's a good thing for my lord to build a school, and it's not a problem to be divided into seven grades, but My lord, there are almost no people in Zhen'an County who know how to do numerology and who have a high degree, and those who are young are not talented, and they only know some basics of numeracy, and it is still difficult to realize the ideas of adults."

Xin Zimo's face was a bit worried, and the articles were naturally not a problem. He had read a lot of articles, and he could even memorize some articles. At that time, he could just write them silently, but it would be too difficult to teach mathematics.

After hearing what Xin Zimo said, Song Wei knew what he meant.

There are many literati in this world, but there are too few who are proficient in mathematics, and those people are so arrogant that they are unlikely to be willing to come to Zhen'an County to teach students.

This is also the problem of teachers. According to what Song Wei said, a large number of teachers must be needed, but Zhen'an County can't find so many teachers at all, and even if they find teachers, their culture is not very high.

So this is what Xin Zimo was talking about.

But Song Wei smiled lightly: "You can rest assured that it is not a simple matter to complete literacy, and it is impossible to complete all of them quickly, so what you have to do is to learn and understand all these things. .”

Song Wei smiled lightly, and put the math books for grades [-] to [-] in front of Xin Zimo that he exchanged from the system just now.

Xin Zimo's face was full of astonishment, he didn't see clearly where Song Wei took out so many books.

Song Wei pointed to the mathematics book: "The official has divided the mathematics into six grades that need to be learned, and what you need to do is to understand the mathematics of the first grade before the common people learn to read, and then understand the mathematics of the second grade." technique."

Song Wei said silently.

The teachers in Zhen'an County are really poor, and for the time being, Xin Zimo can handle it alone. Song Wei believes that there will be more teachers in the future.

So what Song Wei planned was to teach Xin Zimo first, and then let Xin Zimo teach others.

Xin Zimo was very curious about how Song Wei divided the math into six parts, so he opened the first grade math book out of curiosity.

After reading a few pages, Xin Zimo frowned.

Song Wei could naturally see Xin Zimo's expression. Song Wei thought that Xin Zimo frowned when he encountered something he didn't know, but Xin Zimo's next sentence almost made Song Wei spit out a mouthful of tea.

"My lord, which country are the characters in this book from? Why can't the little ones understand any of them?"

Xin Zimo looked at the math book and asked suspiciously.

"puff!"

Song Wei just took a sip of tea and almost spit out the tea when he heard these words.

It was only now that Song Wei remembered that the characters in this world are different from Chinese, and what Song Wei exchanged was the Chinese version of the math book. No wonder Xin Zimo frowned after reading a few pages. It turned out to be because of this.

"Ah... this is what I'm used to using. It's not a problem. I will give you a math book in normal language soon."

Song Wei thought for a while before explaining.

It is impossible for him to say that Chinese is the language of his hometown. If he is asked that Zhao Guo is the unified language of the whole country, how can there be another language, Song Wei will not be able to explain.

So it can only be said to be a simplified version of what I am used to.

"So that's the way it is. It turns out that it's the habit of adults not to understand this book."

Xin Zimo didn't think much about it.

Song Wei also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been fooled by himself. If Xin Zimo insisted, he would not know how to explain it.

Xin Zimo closed the math book. Because he couldn't understand it, Xin Zimo stopped reading.

"My lord, my lord is worried about the culture of the people in Zhen'an County, and I thank you on behalf of the people of the whole county."

At this moment, Xin Zimo said suddenly.

Song Wei knew Xin Zimo's character and his thoughts.

Xin Zimo has always wanted to work hard to improve the culture of the people in Zhen'an County, but hit a wall everywhere, until Song Wei decided to open a school in Zhen'an County.

Now that he was going to build a school again, Xin Zimo would definitely be excited, so Song Wei waved his hand.

"I also want to make Zhenan County better and better. You don't need to say that."

Song Wei said silently.

But Xin Zimo shook his head: "My lord, everyone has seen the recent changes in Zhen'an County. Your lord has done a lot for Zhen'an County, and the people in Zhen'an County live a fulfilling life every day. The people in the past only knew Worrying about life, but now people besides farming, they can also go to the big market of adults, and they can see things that they have never seen before, and even the small things in the big market are amazing after seeing them.”

"The people's smiles are much more than before, and their lives have become more colorful. All of this is due to the adults."

"The little one thanked the adults on behalf of the people not only because the adults wanted to build a school, but also because Song Wei thanked the adults for all the things he did for Zhen'an County."

Xin Zimo silently said what he wanted to say.

Song Wei felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

He has his own other ideas in doing these things, and now Song Wei is suddenly praised by others, Song Wei is still a little embarrassed.

"This is what I should do as a county magistrate."

Song Wei said slowly.

Then Song Wei saw what Xin Zimo wanted to say, Song Wei hurriedly continued: "There is no need to say more now, I am also for the people of Zhen'an County, and now the focus is on the next school."

"After the school is built, you will have more things to do. You must be prepared in the next few days."

After hearing Song Wei's words, Xin Zimo nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, this small matter will definitely be done well."

Song Wei said "Yes", and then hurriedly asked Xin Zimo to leave the county office.

Song Wei didn't know what Xin Zimo would continue to say if he continued to stay.

After Xin Zimo left, Song Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly picked up the math book.

Today's mathematics books are indeed not suitable for teaching, and must be changed into words that can be understood in this era.

Song Wei held his forehead with one hand, and suddenly Song Wei's eyes lit up.

He thought of a way, hand copying is impossible.

But there is a way around this problem entirely, and still have a lot of books.

That is movable type printing!
This is very simple, Song Wei only needs to carve out the words of this world, and then print them according to what he said.
