From Chief to Ball

While muttering to himself, there was a sound of tick-tock footsteps behind him. It sounded like someone turned around while leaning on crutches, but saw a young man wearing a blue Confucian shirt and a square scarf.

Looking further down, it turned out that this man actually had a broken leg, the left leg was severed from the knee down, and a wooden limb was installed underneath.

Seeing that this person was strange, Sun Yuanhua didn't know what to call him, and he didn't even know if he was a local.The behavior of those who claim to be from the Far West country is somewhat weird.If you don't believe their statement about the rebellion of the Three Prisons going west to Fusang, but the banner of these people is a yin and yang fish, with hair tied and collared...at least the dress is like this.If you believe it, you will find it really ridiculous. How is this possible?

Fortunately, the Confucian scholar with a broken leg first greeted him in Nanjing Mandarin, and then narrated his Biaozi, only then did he know that he was a local.

After a few words, he talked about the broken leg. The Confucian scholar didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Last year, my leg was crushed by the earthquake. Fortunately, some of these people have the ability to rejuvenate my leg. Cut it off, or you will lose your life now. It’s nothing to lose a leg and change your life, and with such a wooden limb, it’s not a waste person.”

Sun Yuanhua saw that this person was so talkative, so he asked a few words along the way, and the person said: "Among these people, there is really a talent like Zhonghua Tuo in the ancient book. He covered my nose with a piece of cloth, and then I passed out. , probably this is what the ancients called Mabosan. When I woke up, my leg had been cut off, and two more people poured blood into my body through a goose quill, so this life was finally saved.”

"Exchange blood?"

"Blood transfusion. That's what they said. It is said that there are often dying people on their battlefield, and they all use this method. However, it is fate for me to survive. They said before that there is something between heaven and earth. The filthy things that are invisible to the naked eye, devour flesh and blood, fester and bleed out poison, whether they can survive can only be done according to the fate of human beings."

Sun Yuanhua really couldn't think of such a method, and those things in his heart sprouted, and he thought that such a method could be used even in Xinglin, maybe it would really be useful to stabilize the country.

Just thinking of those ruined words before, I felt a little dissatisfied, and asked: "What's going on with these bamboo houses?"

"School. They all teach things like arithmetic, nature, and geography. These people are poor, and they missed the opportunity to start enlightenment. There is no hope for the imperial examination. They just want to learn something and think that they will settle down in the future. It is said that they will teach carpentry, bricklayers, and planting in the future. stuff like that."

"The idea is good, but why don't you teach the words of the sages? Besides, since these people are enlightened, why don't they start with the thousand-character prose?"

The Confucian scholar with the broken leg smiled and said, "Brother, this is just a joke. How do these people know the thousand-character prose? They can't recite it, so how can they teach students? It's just that the leader of these people also said it at the beginning. The world is mysterious, the universe is prehistoric... the first eight characters of this thousand-character text are extremely difficult. He also asked me, can I understand these eight characters now?"

Sun Yuanhua was startled, and couldn't help but ask: "How did you answer?"

"Heaven, earth, universe, mysterious, yellow, and wild... how can I say I understand? The leader said that only when the master was fifteen was he willing to learn. These enlightened children don't take the imperial examination, but just know a few words. When they reach the age of not being confused in the future, Let’s think about the prehistoric things of the universe.”

"Then what's the use of learning these words?"

"You mean these simple characters? Hey, the leader said that poor people can't afford pens and inks, and this simple characters can save a lot of paper and ink money. Besides, since there is no imperial examination, it is nothing more than literacy. He said that governing the world is For scholar-bureaucrat affairs, scholar-officials will use orthographic characters in the future, and ordinary people will use these simplified characters. If you want to take the imperial examination, you will naturally not come here to study, and those who come here to study are nothing more than to learn carpentry, accounting, arithmetic and other skills in the future. In the future, I will go to sea to seek food."

"But……"

The Confucian scholar with a broken leg said with a smile: "It's nothing to worry about. Think about it, brother. If the family has money to study, who doesn't want to get a degree of fame? Naturally, he wouldn't come here to study, because science, geography, and arithmetic have nothing to do with getting a degree. Benefits. And even if the people here learn simplified characters and recognize more characters, they will be able to read some words of saints in the future, which is better than not even having the opportunity to read them?"

"Brother has also read the books of sages for so many years. Is it possible that I have read them in vain? If you don't have a husband, can you understand them by yourself? What I mean is that you can teach these children in your spare time."

The Confucian scholar frowned and said, "Me? I'm just a hired worker now, and I'll teach whatever they ask me to teach, and make a living. You who are proficient in the words of the sages are neither willing to teach for free, nor let others teach these poor children Words, let me teach them in my spare time, why don't you come? Now that I have a broken leg, even if I have a rich education, I can't get a job, so I have to eat, right?"

Sun Yuanhua wanted to refute, but the man said again: "Don't talk about other places, even now there is a village in Fujian mountain villages who can't read a single word. Brother, you are so kind-hearted, why don't you go and educate them? Why bother to stare at these and recognize a few A child with weird characters?"

Such a simple statement made Sun Yuanhua unable to refute, the man hummed and left, leaving Sun Yuanhua there alone.

Turning around and looking at the other room, there was a map hanging on the wall, and a person pointed at a place on the map with a bamboo stick and said something. Near the glass window, Sun Yuanhua heard a child get up and ask say something.

"Sir, people here say Luzon, where is Luzon?"

The teacher pointed at it with a wooden stick, and it was the first time that Sun Yuanhua knew where Luzon was. The teacher said in a strange tone: "This is Luzon. You have also seen those silver coins from here. Shipped to Luzon..."

After speaking, he pointed at the other end of the map, and the children below exclaimed. It was the first time that Sun Yuanhua knew that the silver in Luzon was dug from such a far place.

Curious in their hearts, they listened for a while, and the children asked where the master came from. When the gentleman heard this, he smiled and pointed to another place far away.

"Sir, why have you come so far away?"

The gentleman did not answer, but asked: "For what? You must first know what you want to do in the future. Tell me, what do you all want to do in the future?"

"I want to buy land when I have money!"

"Buy land, marry a woman, have a baby, and test your fame in the future."

"If you win the first prize, you will have everything. The future generations will not have to worry about it."

"Buy more land!"

"My mother raised me alone, and when she has money, she will build an archway for my mother."

The children were chattering, and the gentleman was also smiling, and when the children finished speaking, he said with a smile: "I come here, one is because this is everyone's decision, I have to abide by it, because I have The same party. Second, I think there are a lot of good things here. You have your own parents, and I also have my own brothers and people. I just thought, if I take the medicine from your place back, many people will die less; Bringing back the method of growing rice can save more people from starvation; of course, you are also human beings, and you are also poor people like me. We also bring our medicine and the method of growing rice so that you will die less , less hunger."

After finishing speaking, he said: "At the same time, it is also going around the earth, thinking about why some people eat meat and wear silk, and why some people eat bran and swallow vegetables."

"Sir, have you found the answer?"

Not only the children were curious, even Sun Yuanhua outside the window stretched his ears, but he didn't want the gentleman to shake his head and say: "I probably know but I'm not sure yet. Well, let's not talk about this, come on, let me just name a few names, you come up Point out where the capital of Quanzhou is, where Luzon is, where the capital is, and where the Japanese pirates come from."

After reading a few words, the children who just said that their dream is to buy land, their son won the top prize, and their mother set up a memorial archway stepped forward and gave pointers one by one.

Sun Yuanhua stared at the map in a daze, and suddenly came to his senses.

"If you talk about geography, I can't compare with these children who have only been in school for a year? I didn't know that Qilu looked like this, and Luzon was there... I was born and raised here, but I am not as good as a group of children. Yi Di from a faraway place knows what Daming really looks like?"

"I think about Fenglangjuxu all day long, where is this wolfjuxu? Fang Yuan, but I have already thought about these things. Is it because I am determined to be high-minded? Or am I too high-minded? Empty talk is wronging the country, empty talk is wronging the country, how many of these ministers who have set their feet on the Liao Dynasty and put down the Japanese Rebellion know this?"

Chapter 74 This fashion is a small person ([-])

With such thoughts in mind, my mood actually calmed down. I stood at the door and listened to what the people inside were talking about. I listened to these novel stories about the world with those eleven or twelve-year-old children. This is probably a nature class.

Just when I heard frequent nodding, there was a noise outside, and the children turned their heads to look outside, but the teacher said sternly: "When you are studying, don't be half-hearted. You can ask about outside matters after school."

The children bowed their heads one after another, but Sun Yuanhua couldn't help but go out to see what happened.

I saw a lot of people surrounded outside, pointing and pointing inside, the Confucian scholar with the broken leg and a few people were blocking the outside.

Those who came here to make trouble were led by a man, followed by many people, and a woman cowardly followed the man, saying a few words in Hokkien that Sun Yuanhua didn't understand, but she didn't want the man to slap her directly Hit that woman in the face.

The woman didn't dare to speak anymore, and shrank back.

The Confucian scholar with the broken leg walked to the front and said angrily, "Xu San, what are you doing here?"

"What's the fuss? Hand over my niece, or else you'll set your demon den on fire!"

The man yelled a few times, and the people of the same clan who followed him also followed suit.

"This is what I said. During the catastrophe last year, your sister couldn't support the little doll, so she sent it here. Now that the disaster year has passed, I don't know your thoughts? It's nothing more than thinking about taking the doll back. Sell ​​it to a rich family for two years to be a servant girl for a few taels of silver. With an uncle like you, this child is also unlucky!"

Xu San was unreasonable, and turned around and shouted: "Folks, this group of people adopted so many children last year, but how many survived? I think they used them to refine medicine! I won't give an explanation today. Just burn their demon den!"

"Fart! If you don't save them, those children will be thrown away or buried under the tree. It's nothing more than the sweet potato can live this year, so I want to raise it and sell it for a few taels of silver."

The Confucian scholar with the broken leg pointed at the women in the crowd and said, "You are also a mother, why are you so cruel? You still don't know what your brother is like? This child survived the gate of hell and finally came back to life and grew up. Wouldn't it be better to be a nurse and female doctor than to sell it to others?"

The woman covered her face and just cried, but she didn't dare to answer. Xu San sneered and said, "It's just like what you said, the child doesn't belong to you either. Why, do you still want to raise it and sell it for money? Say something else It's useless, I have to hand over the child today, the child belongs to the parents, this is the truth between heaven and earth, don't you think?"

The onlookers didn't make a sound, they knew what was going on in their hearts, but they didn't want to provoke these clan members, even the bold ones just tried to persuade them: "You said that people use it to refine medicine, isn't it dirty? It is common for the child to be unable to support himself.”

During the quarrel, there was a person upstairs and downstairs, who was not a good person at first glance, took out a short gun and shot it into the sky, and shot it, shouting: "What are you arguing about? Do you know where this is? This is a school. Your magistrate also mentioned it. Those who have read. The schoolchildren are going to school, and the adopted children are not here, they are all in Yizhuang outside the city, and they are going to make trouble over there!"
