Chapter two hundred and eighty fourth practice literature and martial arts
The old village chief’s philosophy coincides with Bai Yu’s. .
`
What does Mr. Zhang want to teach? The Four Books and Five Classics are too esoteric things that can be used in the imperial examination, but are completely useless in daily life. The important thing is arithmetic and literacy. If you can do arithmetic, you will not be deceived by profiteers. If you are literate, you can travel far away and make life easier.
It took more than ten days to build a new house. It is three rooms in size, spacious and bright. Although it is rough, it has a sense of returning to nature, like the residence of an expert.
The originally planned class date was also postponed for more than ten days.
A certain auspicious day.
The villagers sent their children from five to six to twelve or thirteen years old to private schools. Under Bai Yu's strong request, the girls were also sent. In backward times, boys were valued over girls, and girls were not originally intended to be literate. Then, Mr. Bai held a knife.
Threatening people from house to house, smashing boulders with one punch, splitting wooden doors with one knife...
The brand new and bright classroom is filled with newly made desks and chairs, with a blackboard at the front.
The villagers gathered outside the classroom and stared curiously at everything in the house. The children stood at the door cautiously and didn't know what to do. Then, after breakfast, they came over and greeted each other and arranged seats according to their height. After a lot of work, they finally let their friends sit down.
After a while, Baiyu came.
For formal occasions, she wears a white Hanfu with a curly train, and her long hair is tied casually behind her back.
He was holding a stack of books in his hands, and the horizontal knife hanging on his waist was dangling when he walked. The villagers quickly gave way, entered the classroom and put the books on the podium. After becoming a blacksmith, a weapons dealer, and a jewelry dealer, he became a glorious people.
teacher.
"Welcome to Woniu Village Primary School."
According to the normal routine... there should be applause at this time, but the children were nervous and scared, only excited and excited like monkeys who couldn't sit still.
Before going out in the morning, parents warned their children to be obedient, otherwise they would be slapped by their husbands...
He didn't even look at the villagers outside the window.
"Starting today, you have to go to class when the sun rises. You can only go home for lunch at noon for an hour, and you can go home only when the sun sets. There is no rest."
"Put the textbooks on the table. They are not allowed to be damaged or graffitied, and they are not allowed to be taken home. They are not allowed to be moved without permission. If you have anything to do, you need to apply."
"I'm tentatively planning to study numbers this morning. From tomorrow on, I'll practice martial arts every morning and essays every afternoon."
"Now let's introduce ourselves."
Bai Yu wrote down names with local flavor such as Zhang Er, Dog, Horse, Xiaoya, Wang Niu, Tieniu, etc. on the paper.
Fortunately...except for Zhang Qi, there are no thorns. People in this era value knowledge, know how to respect teachers, and cherish all opportunities to learn. If any child refuses to learn to be naughty and mischievous, just tell his parents,
His father promised to get rid of his naughty and mischievous habits.
Write one to ten on the blackboard and teach them simple counting first.
The sound of reading loudly came from the small private school.
The villagers left with satisfaction and worked harder. Their children no longer had to be illiterate like themselves. At least they could go out to work for merchants or wealthy families.
There is no need for paper or brushes to learn calligraphy. Bai Yu made many square wooden disks, filled them with sand, and used wooden sticks to write on them. When they were flattened, they could continue to write, which was better than paper.
The first day passed quickly.
The villagers discovered that their children liked to write on the ground with wooden sticks and could count stones. Although they did not understand the meaning of numbers for the time being, they could at least count from one to ten. All the parents were surprised and thought about bringing some eggs and game to give them someday.
Mr. Bai gave me a gift, and I can't help but be grateful if he doesn't charge me any money.
the next day.
The children came to the classroom early and are discussing digital writing with each other. Ten words are taught every day, starting with words that are closely related to life, and checking before school.
There was a martial arts practice this morning, and Zhang Qi jumped up and down excitedly.
Bai Yu came to the classroom and looked at Zhang Qi, who was scratching his head and scratching his head.
"I practiced martial arts in the morning and went to the threshing floor."
When it came time to show his generals, Zhang first asked his companions to stand in formation, and then walked to the threshing floor one by one, constantly running forward and back to correct the formation, just like a general.
Bai Yu, who was walking in front, smiled and secretly sighed that he was worthy of being a general. He started to pay attention to the marching process at such a young age. Fortunately, he was not delayed by those rotten military geniuses.
Threshing floor.
About twenty boys and girls in the village stood in two rows, standing at the front with great airs.
Sitting in the classroom scratching his ears and cheeks as if there was a flying monkey under his buttocks, he came out to practice martial arts and remained motionless no matter how hot the sun was. His face was serious and serious, showing excellent military qualities in all aspects.
In the morning, Bai Yu wore a smart outfit, holding a horizontal knife and a heavy black knife standing beside him. His hair was swayed with a ribbon in the gentle breeze.
In the distance, a donkey pushed a stone mill in circles, and farmers watched curiously.
He stared at the heavy black knife with his eyes wide open.
Bai Yu glanced around, and the children were frightened, as if they were being stared at by poisonous snakes and beasts.
"Now let's teach you martial arts!"
"The most important thing in practicing martial arts is to be strong physically. By tempering oneself, strong qi and blood will be generated in the body. Strong qi and blood will make the body strong, and only when the body is strong can you have strength!"
He raised his hand and pointed at the heavy knife.
"Heavy knife, weighs 1,100 kilograms!"
Children have no idea about a thousand kilograms. They only know that it is very heavy.
In order to arouse the children's desire to practice martial arts, Bai Yu used the whirring sound of the heavy knife to demonstrate, cutting horizontally, diagonally, slashing, and hitting the ground with the heavy knife, which caused the ground to shake and the busy villagers in the threshing floor were frightened.
Bloodless, Zhang Qi looked excited, secretly sighing in his heart that Aunt Bai was indeed the most powerful one. Looking at the ground, she was hit with cracks as wide as an egg.
Boom~!
The ground shook violently, he stopped, and the heavy knife was inserted into the soil again.
A group of little kids were stunned, with snot dripping from their noses and mouths without even realizing it. Zhang Qi's eyes were full of little stars, wishing that he was the one wielding the heavy knife.
"Aside from strength, the most important thing is endurance. If you have good endurance, you will have longer-lasting fighting power!"
"You don't understand if I tell you too much. The first lesson this morning is endurance training. I run from here to the front mountain and back again. Remember, you must maintain the formation and not be scattered. As long as you insist on coming back, you can eat meat at noon."
When they first heard that they were going to run to Qianshan, all the children except Zhang Qi had sad faces. But as soon as they heard the word meat, their eyes suddenly brightened and they wanted to run to Qianshan and back immediately.
"Don't think about being lazy or being lazy, or you'll never get to eat meat!"
"Run."
The children ran away in a rough formation under Zhang Qi's supervision. Bai Yu kept his word and generously spent money to buy mutton for lunch. In these days, rural children were undernourished and in poor physical condition. They could not eat much meat all year round.
They have to sell their prey to the county town in exchange for daily necessities, river fish and small prey. Their hair is yellow and they are not very energetic.
Practicing martial arts has an impact on the body. Even running requires a good body. Eating meat replenishes essence and blood and strengthens the body. It is obvious whether to eat meat or not. The people of the Central Plains are weak and weak, while the various ethnic groups outside the region are strong and strong. Every time they fight
A foreign warrior is as good as seven or eight Central Plains soldiers, but he is not too weak physically. He is controlled by the gentry class and guards his little territory. He eats chaffy wild vegetables all day long, has a yellow face and is thin and has no muscles. How can he fight against his muscular opponent?
The tired and panting children finally ran back and had mutton soup as they wished.
