The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 59

After class, Lin Yifan and Guo Huaili strolled in the deep path, the damp air with a little bit of cool breeze blowing the skirts of the two people, very unhappy.

"Mr. Guo, the kid named Zhang Wensheng just now is really nice. Listen to me, he is Zhang Qian's nephew, right?"

"That's right, Wen Sheng is the only good kid I've ever seen in my life. Although he is only eight years old, his studies are far superior to other students, and his comprehension is also good. The few questions just now have already stumped me, hehe, I believe that this kid Wen Sheng will be very promising in the future." Guo Huaili praised.

"I believe that under the guidance of Mr. Guo, he will definitely be able to become a talent." Lin Yifan said with a smile, "By the way, how are Linley's children doing now?"

"Lin Lei and the others are now my disciples. They are concentrating on their studies in the school and at the same time helping me with the school's chores. It's all thanks to them that the school is so well organized." Guo Huaili boasted with a smile.

"That's good, they have experienced hardships since they were young, and their minds matured relatively early. Now it is their blessing to be able to be trained by Mr. Guo." Lin Yifan nodded in satisfaction. These children who have been rescued by themselves can have a stable life. , is not bad.

"By the way, what progress has been made on the establishment of literacy classes I mentioned to you?" Lin Yifan asked after thinking for a while.

"I'm going to report to the adults, because adults have to work during the day, so the literacy class can only be arranged at night. There are about 100 adults who come to study, and I will teach them literacy and arithmetic with Linley and the others."

"It's a little less." Lin Yifan frowned and said disappointedly, "I hope that in a short period of time at least the common people can learn arithmetic within one hundred and learn to read articles through pinyin."

Guo Huaili heard this and said with a wry smile: "My lord, this is not easy to handle. Adults are tired all day and only want to rest at night. Few people are willing to learn such a mind-consuming thing. I still take Linley and the others around for more than 100 people. It’s good to say that it persuaded some people to study.”

"I see." Lin Yifan nodded and said with a sneer: "It seems that I thought things too simply, thinking that being able to read books was something everyone dreamed of. But I forgot that people will become lazy when they are comfortable. Yes. Mr. Guo, don’t worry, I have a way to get everyone to come here to get rid of illiteracy.”

The two walked to the foot of a waterfall and rocky cliff, and saw Luo Qing'er playing with Lin Qing and a few others.Luo Qing'er rolled up her long skirt, revealing a short section of her white and flawless calf, stepping on the water to catch small fish.Lin Yifan watched with relish, and kept waving his fan.Guo Huaili stood awkwardly for a while, then excused himself to leave.

Lin Yifan immediately let go of his restraint, rolled up his trousers and stepped into the water. A cold feeling suddenly rushed up from the soles of his feet, so comfortable!While enjoying it, a light rain suddenly fell, splashing my face.Opening his eyes, he saw Luo Qing'er looking at him proudly, kicked his little foot, and another gust of rain hit his head and face.

"Okay, sister Qing'er, how dare you splash me with water? It's not rude to come and go, take the trick!" Lin Yifan became playful, and completely let go of his reserve and prudence, as if he had returned to the ordinary boy in modern times.With a flick of his hand into the water, the rain all over the sky reflected colorful colors and flew towards Luo Qing'er.

Luo Qing'er screamed, and hurriedly dodged, but it was too late, and she was covered in water.So angrily, he called Lin Qing and others to besiege Lin Yifan together. The laughter of the two older children and several younger children echoed in the quiet mountain.

Back at the county government office, Lin Yifan called the magistrate and Chen Dengke to discuss with them how to expand the scale of the literacy class, and try to make the people of Hengshan at least able to read.

Han Songfan looked at the decision-making on education in the five-year plan, and praised: "Your Excellency and your colleagues are really far-sighted, popularizing common people's culture, this is something that all dynasties dare not think about. Nine multiplication tables will make literacy and arithmetic easy to learn in the future. This is a good thing that will benefit future generations. Please allow the pinyin and multiplication tables to benefit all people in the world.”

Lin Yifan smiled nonchalantly, "It would be good if it could benefit all people, and I wouldn't keep it private. However, I doubt whether the princes in the court are willing to enlighten the wisdom of the people, which is hard to say."

Han Song sighed slightly, and said firmly: "Whether the court is willing or not, I will give it a try. As long as I give these two things to some friends and let them spread them around. I believe that as long as people with vision will definitely carry it forward.”

"In this case, let's do it, and everything will be fine."

"Thank you, my lord, for your success!" Han Song was moved, "Since your lord wants to popularize culture in Hengshan, my subordinates are willing to do their best to do this well."

"Okay, then let's talk about how to get everyone interested in literacy and arithmetic?" Lin Yifan looked at the two of them and said.

"My lord, why don't we issue an order that all young people have to go to the school to study for a period of one month, then take the exam, and those who fail will be punished. I don't know what your lord thinks?" Chen Dengke thought for a while, Said in a low voice.

"The key is that the school is short of manpower. Even if the people obey the order and go to study, I'm afraid Mr. Guo will be exhausted." Lin Yifan smiled slightly, then shook his head and vetoed it.

"My lord, maybe we can do this and take turns to learn, once a month. If we only learn pinyin and multiplication tables, ordinary people should learn it in a month, right?" Han Song suggested.

"Well, this seems to be feasible. It's just that our population is constantly increasing. When will this batch of rotations be popularized?" Lin Yifan asked with some confusion.

"My lord, it is said that it takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to grow a man. The popularization of culture cannot be accomplished overnight. We need a little patience."

"Master Han is right, I was too impatient." Lin Yifan was taken aback, and couldn't help but smiled wryly.

After a pause, he continued: "The rotation system is a good method, so let's do it this way. However, I will add a few points. First, the rotation is to transfer one person from one household to study. Second, after the completion of the study, this person will be They must be responsible for teaching their family members. Third, if they fail to learn within one month, their wages will be deducted, and the land tax will increase by [-]% next year. Fourth, if they have good learning comprehension, they can be admitted to the school as a student for free, and Mr. Guo carefully Cultivate. Fifth, in the future, the announcements, documents, etc. must be marked with pinyin, so that the common people can read and understand through pinyin. That's all for now, Mr. Chen, you write down the points just now, and find someone to teach the common people tomorrow Publicity propaganda."

The next day, a message quickly spread that the county magistrate asked one person from each household to learn Chinese characters, and if he failed to learn Chinese characters, he would be punished severely.People's hearts suddenly boiled, and some people felt happy. It was a very honorable thing to be able to read and understand books like those literati.Some people think that the county magistrate Da'en is too lenient. What does his own literacy have to do with the county magistrate?Some people even feel that they are not a material for studying at all. If they fail to learn, not only will their salary be deducted partly, but the agricultural tax will also be increased by [-]%. What is this called?
People talked a lot, with mixed praise and criticism, but no one would resent the county magistrate. After all, reading and literacy is a great thing in itself, and only when the ancestral grave smokes can one go to study.What everyone is worried about is that if they fail to learn, this terrible punishment will fall on themselves.

Soon, the first batch of 300 people who were going to study were selected.To Lin Yifan's surprise, there were actually many women inside.It turned out that some people were worried that they would not be able to learn, which would affect their salary and taxes, so they chose a smarter person from their family to study. After picking and choosing, they found that only the women in the family were smarter. Can grit his teeth and let women go to school to study.

Niu Dali was also among this group of people at this time, and he fought countless times for this, and he was unwilling to go to school.In the end, it was Lin Yifan, Han Santie and Wang Fugui who threatened and lured them together, and finally agreed reluctantly.
