Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 526 Make great efforts to innovate small criticisms, and use talents in an eclectic manner!

I have to say that Nanjing Mandarin is really nice when spoken by a young woman like Bian Yujing with a beautiful voice.

Instructing and admonishing could not help nodding with a smile, and so did the female officer.

Then the instruction continued: "The white thing on the table is called chalk, and the black wooden board on the wall behind you is called blackboard, and it is an elementary school teaching tool.

Now, you write the two sentences just now on the blackboard with chalk.Remember to follow the regulations in the textbook, write horizontally, and have accurate punctuation. "

Nowadays, not only the "Da Ming Pao" published in various provinces uses left-to-right, horizontal row, and punctuation, but also most official documents of the imperial court.

Therefore, far-sighted scholars are aware that the imperial court intends to promote various changes in writing, and they all practice this writing method in private.

Bian Yujing is no exception.

She found that, apart from being unaccustomed to looking at it, it was not as beautiful as the previous writing from right to left, and the new writing method was more convenient.

What Bian Yujing didn't know was that the vertical writing style from right to left in Shenzhou was due to the early use of carving knives and bamboo slips to record characters.

It is obviously more convenient to engrave characters vertically on the bamboo slips.As for starting from the right, it is also because most people hold carving knives and writing brushes in their right hands, and writing from the right will not be blocked by the rolled up bamboo slips.

Another point is that in the past, the right was respected.

Such a habit led to the fact that even though paper began to replace bamboo slips, scholars were more accustomed to rolling up paper like bamboo slips to make paper scrolls.

Until the Tang Dynasty, paper books were still dominated by scrolls.

In the Song Dynasty, knowledge went down, the number of scholars increased greatly, and book printing also entered an era of explosion. Not only printing technology has made great progress, but book binding has also become more diverse and convenient.

Butterfly-bound, back-packed, and thread-bound books all emerged in the Song Dynasty, and thread-bound books became the mainstream only in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, since the advent of paper, writing vertically from the right is not so appropriate, and it is even more inconvenient to write on line-bound books.

Just because it's such a small thing, and most of the time people write on blank paper instead of blank books, no one challenges the thousand-year-old tradition to change it.

Now, with the prestige of the emperor and the name of the imperial court, Aimee Zhu promotes the more convenient writing method from left to horizontal, and has not encountered much resistance.

Just like people disdain to change it because it is a trivial matter, even stubborn people do not approve of this way of writing, and do not want to offend the emperor and the court.

What's more, the current imperial court only requires some official documents to be written horizontally from the left, and has not forced all scholars to change their habits instantly. Naturally, there will be no fierce resistance...
Bian Yujing had never practiced chalk writing before, but she became famous for calligraphy and painting. Her calligraphy is good, and her painting skills have also made her proficient in the use of various brushes.

Therefore, although she wrote chalk characters for the first time, she wrote them quite beautifully, which once again made the three interviewers nod and praise secretly.

After Bian Yujing finished writing, the teaching instruction asked again: "Do you know what use this "Dui Yun Ge" is for students?"

Bian Yujing, who had thought about it for a long time, said without hesitation: "It can not only help students learn to read, but also help them understand the rhythm required by poems and pairs."

The three interviewers looked at each other and found that they were satisfied with each other.

Then, the instructor said: "Bian Yujing is famous for her painting skills in Qinhuai, she must have the ability to act as a sub-teacher, so there is no need to try."

The instructor Wu Chou nodded, and said to Bian Yujing, "The results of today's interview will be announced in three days, and then you can come to the county school to inquire."

Bian Yujing saluted the three interviewers and left Minglun Hall.

The three people inside were not in a hurry to call the next person in for an interview, but sighed.

"This Bian Yujing is worthy of being a famous Qinhuai prostitute in the past, and her talent is more than enough to teach Chinese in elementary schools. It's a pity, a pity, a pity." Wu Chou sighed.

The female official said: "I have to ask His Majesty to decide on this matter, so she may not be able to be a primary school teacher. It's a pity that Wu Jiaoyu came too early."

Wu Chou was embarrassed for a moment and stopped talking.

But when Bian Yujing came out, everyone saw her calm expression, and they couldn't guess how her interview would turn out.

Bian Yulou asked, "Sister, did the interview go well?"

Bian Yujing said: "It's pretty smooth, but we have to wait three days to know whether we can be selected."

After the two sisters spoke a few words, the clerk inside came out and called Bian Yulou for an interview.

When Bian Yulou came out of the interview, his expression was not as calm as that of Bian Yujing, and he was a little ugly.

Bian Yu Jingguan asked: "But what went wrong?"

Bian Yulou nodded first, then shook his head, and said, "You can try anything, but they seem dissatisfied with my status as a prostitute."

Bian Yujing smiled and said: "I am the same, but it's okay even if we can't be selected because of this. At least, our trip has gained some insight, hasn't it?"

···
Five p.m.

Ming Shilan and An Ruoxi, who were sent by Aimee Zhu as "imperial envoys" to Jiangning and Shangyuan counties to assist in the selection of primary school teachers, returned to the Forbidden City to report to Aimee Zhu about today's interview with primary school teachers.

Ming Shilan, who is in charge of Shangyuan County, said: "Shangyuan County interviewed 120 people today, and only 36 of them met the minimum admission standards.

And there are only two women, one is the daughter of a bookseller, she is sixteen years old, and her name is Wei Chi Xueyan.

The other is a widow from an ordinary citizen's family in Shangyuan County, 25 years old, named Duan Yunmiao. "

After hearing this, Aunt Zhu asked with interest: "Then these two women meet the admission requirements?"

"Meet the requirements and perform better than most of the men who apply."

Auntie Zhu nodded slightly, not surprised.

Those who dare to come out to apply for the job as a female teacher now must bear a lot of pressure from public opinion.If you don't have enough confidence in your own talents, you won't go to the interview under pressure.

Immediately, An Ruoxi said: "There are 140 interviewees in Jiangning County today, and only 43 meet the minimum admission criteria.

There are also two women among them, named Bian Yujing and Bian Yulou, both of whom were prostitutes on the Qinhuai painting boat before. "

"Bian Yujing?" Auntie Zhu was slightly surprised when she heard the name of the later Qinhuai Bayan, and then asked, "How are they doing?"

"Bian Yulou's performance is only slightly better than that of ordinary interviewees, but Bian Yujing's performance can be ranked among the top ten interviewees in Jiangning today." Having said this, An Ruoxi paused and asked, "Your Majesty, Jiangning teaches that if you invite prostitutes I am afraid that the elders of the students will find it hard to accept the fact that the girls are gentlemen, and it will make it even more difficult for the people to accept the schooling of girls. Are the Bian sisters going to be recruited?"

Aunt Zhu said: "I am determined to change all kinds of bad customs in Ming Dynasty, and vigorously reform the atmosphere, which one will not cause criticism from the people?

The matter of emancipating women has only begun now, and we must not be timid.Even though the Bian family sisters were prostitutes before, as long as they meet the recruitment requirements and keep themselves clean in the future, why can't they be recruited? "

An Ruoxi lowered her head, "I understand."

After that, Aimee Zhu asked other details based on the interview records submitted by the two of them, such as how many interviewees were there for each of the three main subjects, who was the most famous among them, and how many were non-scholars, young students, and scholars. and many more.

After the questioning, it was already dark, and Auntie Zhu went back to the old house in the bamboo forest to have dinner.

After eating, Auntie Zhu flipped through the book "The Li Weng Conversation with Rhyme" that she showed to Zhu Aimee, thinking of the relevant materials of Li Yu in this world, she couldn't help saying: "I didn't expect that Li Yu could not only compose such enlightening masterpieces as "The Li Weng Conversation with Rhyme" , There are so many works in opera.

I hope that after he comes to the capital, he can make the art troupe work faster and more effectively. "

It turned out that although Hao Guangming had received the third-year textbooks for Daming Elementary School edited on the Internet years ago, he only noticed Li Yu after looking through the Chinese textbooks after the Chinese New Year.

This person was originally named Li Xianlv, with the style name Jifan and the nickname Tiantu. He was born in 1611 and is currently a scholar in Jinhua Prefecture, Zhejiang.

Later, when he took Qing to the south of the Yangtze River, he changed his name to Li Yu, and his nickname was Li Weng.Not scientific research, not official, indulging in research and creation of literature and drama.

From his previous name, name, and number, it can be seen that the young Li Yu is quite wild and unruly, not to mention cynical, at least he doesn't care so much about secular ethics.

It is estimated that it was only when I was old that I realized some really useful things in traditional culture, and then there were masterpieces handed down such as "The Rhyme of the Li Weng" and "Ten Kinds of Songs of the Li Weng".

This kind of literati who knows the sufferings of the people, is down-to-earth, and is not too constrained by tradition is what Aimee Zhu needs.

After Hao Guangming recommended him, Aunt Zhu immediately sent someone to Jinhua Mansion to "invite" him.

But it is estimated that Li Yu will go to Nanjing, at least in February.

　First more.
