Chapter 33: White Dove

When Xin woke up again, it was already noon.

As soon as he woke up, he ate something and picked up the bamboo slips that recorded the data last night.

Then he hid in his dormitory and began to study distilled liquor with great concentration.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Xin went to the rural school again and continued to teach.

The number of people today has still not increased.

Du Gan and the others studied very seriously. Their families were well off and they were not afraid of the threats from the three elders.

Xin You has already begun to teach them arithmetic, and these people will be the backbone of Xin You's efforts to defeat the three elders.

"This thing is called Suanchi." Xin took out some more sticks.

This is an ancient calculation method. After Xin came to this world, he inherited the memory of his previous master and naturally learned this calculation method.

The calculation principle is simple, but the operation is a bit complicated.

The main thing is that you need to keep placing these sticks. If you encounter more complex numbers, you may have to place them in a yard.

It is said that people who are proficient in calculation can sort out and rearrange the results while calculating. This is not only fast, but also does not require a large space.

However, Xin did not have this ability, and Xin Yi did not have such talents.

When Xin calculated by himself, he naturally used Arabic numerals to list the vertical expressions.

As someone who has not missed out on the nine-year compulsory education, Xin is confident that his primary school math skills should be faster than arithmetic.

It's just that Xin You doesn't think it's easy to spread the news in this way, and maybe it can have some effect in the future.

In the courtyard of the rural school, everyone has carved out a little space and placed their calculation chips.

"With a family of six, every two people use one bucket of water a day, how many buckets a day..."

Du Gan silently recited the question Xin You asked and fiddled with his calculation chips on the ground.

He was holding a stick in his hand, and there were many more on the ground, which was very messy.

Sometimes the stick in his hand falls, and Du Gan has to start again.

Others were no less generous, even worse than Du Gan. Some people fiddled with it for a long time, but they didn’t know what the numbers they had come up with were.

Although Du Gan's plan was not good-looking, he quickly gave Xin another answer.

"Yes." Xin said again.

Among this group of people, the smartest one is Du Gan.

At least Du Gan could quickly understand what he taught him.

Others are a little less than satisfactory.

I can only count simply, and as soon as I start to count, I start to get enlightened.

There is no way around it. They have never been exposed to these things. Teaching them is no different from teaching primary school students.

Moreover, the receptivity of these adults may not be as strong as that of children.

Looking at the serious looks of these strong men who stayed behind, Xin suddenly felt like "being a teacher".

"Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as people are willing..."

Xin You has completely transformed himself into the role of a teacher. While looking at the "homework" of these students, he is walking around among them with a pointer.

"This is not how it is placed here."

"If you think about it more carefully, why do you think it's getting less and less?"

"Mao Mo, the patterns you laid out are good. I'll leave the coloring of the pottery to you in the future, but you should either stop learning arithmetic..."



Xin gradually fell into the role again, not noticing the looks from outside the rural school at all.

Some are envious, some are curious, and some are resentful.

Xin Jin, leaning on a cane and supported by Xiao Wu, also arrived outside the rural school.

"Are these people still learning to read?"

"Yes, uncle."

"They... huh, let's see how long they can do anything."

Xin Jin's crutch hit the ground hard.

"Uncle, is it really not good to read...?" Xiao Wu said silently.

"What do you want to say? Didn't I let you enter Xin's private school?" Xin Jin glared at Xiao Wu: "Remember, you are the son of a winemaker, and you were born to sell wine to make money. Do you also want to

Try being a clerk?"

Xin Boyu on the side also sneered: "Xiao Wu, I raised you because I thought you were smart. In the future, you should think more about how to help our Xin family sell some good wine, and don't think about other things."

"Xiao Wu knows that Xiao Wu just said nonsense. Uncle, please don't blame Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu lowered his head and said.

Everyone has his own life.

This is something Xiao Wu understood very early on.

He is very smart, much smarter than the average person.

When he was thirteen years old, he was already able to do business with old people in other cities.

In the past two years, almost all the accounts of Xin Jin's branch have been managed by Xin Wu alone.

For Xiao Wu, being able to stay away from the wine shop and help the clan members has already changed their destiny.

"It's almost late autumn, and the days are getting shorter and shorter. I don't think they can hold on for a few more days," Xin Wuzuo said.

Xin Jinru thought thoughtfully: "What can you accomplish with such a few pieces of material? Ridiculous. Go home."

"Uncle, the Autumn Festival is coming soon. This year's Autumn Festival is the Sanyi Competition. We have to prepare well." Xin Wuzuo said.

"Well, this is a big deal." Xin Jin nodded: "Let Xiao Wu and the others train as soon as possible. We must let people see where the real bloodline of our Xin family is!"



"Pigeon!"

Just then, someone shouted.

Everyone looked up and saw a gray dove flying over from a distance.

The pigeon flapped its wings and landed in front of the pigeon coop in the rural school, causing quite a commotion.

"What happened? Why did the pigeons fly out?" Xin Wuzuo looked at the crowd in front of him dissatisfied: "Where is Xin Nan, the feather man? Aren't you responsible for raising these pigeons?"

"Isn't this going to fly back?" Xin Nan yawned in the distance and said, "This pigeon should be the one that the gentleman gave to Dr. Puyi. It may have flown back without a good grip."

"It's not enough!" A look of contempt appeared on Xin Jin's face: "I came all the way and sent a pigeon as a gift, and it flew back..."

"Haha! This is embarrassing enough." Xin Wuzuo also laughed: "During the autumn festival this year, let's roast this pigeon!"

With that said, he helped Xin Jin walk away.

In the rural school, Xin had already noticed the pigeon.

"Sure enough, I'm back..."

Xin walked over again and gently picked up the pigeon, wanting to see if any information had been conveyed.

Sure enough, there was a white brocade silk tied to the pigeon's right leg.

"Silk book?"

Xin untied the silk book and opened it.

"On the 20th, will you come to Urari City?"

This short line of words already explains the meaning of Fan Ni.

"The market in Puyi? You can go and have a look."

Xin put away the silk book again and put it on his body.

After the lecture, Xin continued to tell the story of Journey to the West.

Listening to stories every day has become a habit of the people of Xinyi. No matter how disgusted the three elders are, they can't stop the people from participating in the popular entertainment activities.

As long as they are not allowed to learn Chinese characters and numbers, Xin Jin and others still have nothing to say.

But Xin can feel that many of these Chinese people are willing to learn Chinese.

Starting from the middle to late Spring and Autumn Period, the royal family declined.

Down-and-out nobles, officials with specialized skills, and a large number of classics were all handed down from the royal family.

In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, when "learning was originally taught by the government," education gradually shifted towards the common people.

The rise of "scholars" during the Warring States Period was the seed planted in this era.

Those officials who mastered all kinds of knowledge eventually became the source of "the hundreds of schools of thought".

This is a historical trend that no one can change.

Xin just brought this wave to Xinyi in advance.
