Liu Bei simply felt that his eldest son was too outrageous!
When generals go into battle to kill the enemy, they use swords, guns, swords and halberds. When do they need to be literate?
"If the soldiers are not allowed to train, they will only do these useless things all day long!"
Liu Bei looked disgusted, followed closely by Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu.
They knew that Liu Bei was going to "eavesdrop".
"Brother, let's practice martial arts together..."
Zhang Fei's loud voice came out, and Liu Bei immediately covered his mouth.
"Hush! That traitor has been making trouble since he came back from Jiangdong!"
"Brother, my eldest nephew can at least lead his brothers to perform meritorious deeds, and he can also easily conquer the Wuxi Barbarians!"
Zhang Fei asked in confusion: "Brother, what do you mean by looking like this?"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard and said with a smile: "Of course I went to eavesdrop!"
Liu Bei's old face turned red and he yelled angrily: "Yun Chang! How can you eavesdrop on the matters between father and son? It's clear that the father cares about him!"
Liu Bei took his two brothers and three military advisors to the outside of the military camp.
"Xing Daorong, Xing Daorong! I don't even know what to say about you!"
"I've been bragging about being General Lingling all day long, but in the end I don't even know a single person!"
"Come, come, let me read this military message to my brothers!"
Liu Mang's voice came, and Liu Bei frowned and said: "This traitor asked Dao Rong to embarrass himself in front of his brothers without caring about the mood of his subordinates at all!"
"Second brother, third brother! I have never been like that treacherous brother!"
Xing Daorong began to recite military information, replacing the words he didn't know with oo and xx.
As a result, after reading the entire article, except for the three characters "Xing Daorong", the rest are all ooxx!
In the military camp, everyone laughed, and General Lingling's old face was as red as a monkey's butt!
"You guys are laughing your ass off!"
Liu Mang reprimanded: "When we are marching and fighting, as a general, we don't even know Te Niang's military background!"
When all the generals heard this, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.
Guan Yu suddenly discovered his old subordinate Zhou Cang!
"Zhou Cang? Why is he here?"
"Fan Jiang? Zhang Da? These two bastards have embarrassed me!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were surprised to find that their men appeared in the literacy camp.
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly, Pang Tong drank by himself, and Xu Shu nodded secretly.
"Xing Daorong, I taught you a military situation three times!"
"Master...it's my subordinate's fault..."
"Teach me how to read them all, starting with Chinese Pinyin!"
Liu Mang gave the order: "You must know fifty words every day. If you fail to complete the task, your credit book will be cleared directly!"
It's not that Liu Mang has a kind heart, it's because someone like Xing Daorong is too shameless!
If you can't read military intelligence, why should you fight?
But this kind of brown candy sticks to Liu Mang and won't let go.
Liu Mang was surprised to find that all the rough guys were so moved by the matter of literacy!
Shamoko rubbed his red eyes, and Xing Daorong was filled with emotions.
Even Zhou Cang, Fan Jiang, and Zhang Da's eyes were filled with emotion.
"Nonsense! What a nonsense!"
Liu Bei was about to step forward to stop him, but was directly blocked by Xu Shu.
"Good brother! As a military general, there is absolutely no need to be literate!"
Liu Feng was in the literacy camp and said dissatisfied: "It is better to ask them to train soldiers than to make them literate. How many enemies will they have in the future!"
Liu Mang sneered: "You can't even understand military orders. If you make a mistake on the battlefield, do you know how many innocent soldiers will be lost!"
Two brothers, tit for tat.
"Brother, I am your elder brother, should you respect me more?"
Liu Feng had sharp eyes and he had some prestige in the army. Liu Bei thought that Liu Mang had no future, so he accepted him as his adopted son.
"Brother, I am the king and you are the minister. The righteousness between the king and the minister is greater than the love between brothers!"
Liu Mang retorted, he was never willing to use his identity to suppress anyone.
Liu Feng also had his subordinates go to the literacy camp, which made him unhappy, so he went to find Liu Mang to argue.
"Liu Feng! How dare you disrespect my young master!"
Although Xing Daorong was submissive in front of Liu Mang, he always struck hard outside.
"Anyone who is disrespectful to the Young Master is an enemy of the Wuxi people!"
Shamoko's eyes widened in anger, and his copper-bell-sized eyes were simply frightening to death.
"Liu Feng, as the elder brother, you should give way to your younger brother!"
"Uncle Zhou..."
"Young master taught us how to read. This is a good thing!"
As a veteran general under Guan Yu, Zhou Cang's prestige was definitely not comparable to that of Liu Feng.
He opened his mouth, but Liu Feng had no choice but to swallow his anger and choose to sit with his mouth shut.
"Hmph! I want to see what your literacy camp can do!"
After Liu Feng sat down, Liu Mang personally taught a group of elders how to read.
Illiteracy was definitely widespread in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Being able to read means breaking away from illiteracy. For many people, knowledge is monopolized in the hands of a few people and cannot be popularized at all.
Why didn't Liu Mang take any imperial examinations?
Because it’s totally unrealistic!
The essence of the scriptures is in the hands of wealthy families, and poor people have no right to have access to it.
Even if there is a so-called imperial examination, it is only used by the children of the gentry.
Only by becoming literate first and then popularizing knowledge can we break the gentry's monopoly on knowledge step by step.
"Lord!"
Xu Shu said seriously: "Today, Yuan Zhi will know the master's mastery skills!"
The art of control?
What does literacy have to do with imperial service?
"My lord, illiterate old men like Zhou Cang and Xing Daorong will still be looked down upon by the nobles even if they have military exploits."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said, "Sir, this may seem like a futile effort, but it actually wins people's hearts!"
Pang Tong smiled and said: "As expected of me and Kong Ming's disciples! We must use a different method to deal with these reckless men!"
"General Zhang, don't look at me. You are not included in what I said as a reckless person!"
Before everyone finished speaking, they heard a "plop" coming from the military camp.
"Young master, you are so kind! I, Xing Daorong, will never forget you!"
"Old Xing! Get up quickly! It's not the New Year, so I can't give you lucky money!"
Liu Mang was shocked because everyone present knelt down on one knee!
Including Samoko, Zhou Cang, Fan Jiang, Zhang Da and others!
"I'll wait and swear to be loyal to the Young Master to the death!"
The right to literacy and the dissemination of knowledge were monopolized by the gentry.
It seems that Liu Mang just taught them literacy, but in fact he gave them dignity!
Liu Bei took a deep breath, "I didn't expect that Nizi's thoughts were so delicate. It seems that I misunderstood him!"
Guan Yu sighed: "I have followed Zhou Cang for many years, but I have never thought of teaching him how to read! I feel so guilty!"
Zhang Fei was also a little confused, "Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, these two bastards! They didn't treat me like this!"
The Wuxi barbarians cried bitterly. They were called "barbarians" because they were illiterate and had no one to educate them!
In their eyes, Liu Mang's move was a lesson to them!
"Wuxi Man will never betray the Young Master!"
"If you violate this oath, God will punish you!"
Liu Mang was a little confused. These reckless men had already kowtowed to each other, and there were even blood stains on Xing Daorong's forehead.
This shows how hard this guy works when he kowtows!
"Ahem! Isn't it just literacy...that's all..."
Liu Mang waved his hand: "Notify the entire army, all illiterate people, after daily drills, all come to the literacy camp!"
