Chapter 48 The Return of the Soul

Zhou You and Huang Zongxi really have too much in common.

Both of them are loyal and loyal, and now they have to shoulder the important responsibilities of the family. Together, they can talk about it endlessly.

Zuo Mengeng returned to the other side and said to Hou Fangyu and Zhang Lingxi: "If you want to learn calculations, it is actually better to use Tianzhu numbers."

He wrote 1234567890 on paper and taught it to the two children. Of course, Xu Ruolin and Zuo Xianmei also learned it.

Some things only need to be tried casually to know whether they are useful or not.

The arithmetic problems that Hou Fangyu and Zhang Lingxi were asked to look at before were now changed to the Tianzhu numbers taught by Zuo Mengeng, with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division symbols, and they suddenly became simple and clear.

The two children were so happy that they solved several problems in a row and completely fell in love with this method of calculation.

Xu Ruolin silently tried several times, looking at Zuo Mengeng as if she were seeing an immortal.

"Where did you learn these things?"

Following Xu Guangqi, Xu Ruolin met countless Western missionaries.

There are also many people who are good at mathematics.

But no one can make mathematical problems as simple and clear as Zuo Mengeng.

This is not just a change in approach, it has great significance for the development of mathematics.

Today's mathematical expression methods in Europe are also very different from those of later generations.

Zuo Menggeng brought out the mature academic system of later generations in this way, and the impact it brought was unparalleled.

"When I was in Liaodong, I couldn't go to the battlefield, so I had nothing to do every day, so I just thought about these things."

Zuo Mengeng found the reason quickly. As for whether Xu Ruolin believed it or not, it didn't matter.

Anyway, Xu Ruolin couldn't find traces of this academic system in this world, so it could only be Zuo Mengeng's research results.

"It's obviously Latin letters, why do you say it's in English?"

Zuo Menggeng liked talking to Xu Ruolin very much, because this girl has broken away from the shackles of Chinese people in this era in many places, and she has a somewhat progressive consciousness.

"The source of all languages ​​in Europe is Latin. English also evolved on the basis of Latin, so it looks the same, but the pronunciation is different."

But when it came to the Latin alphabet, Zuo Mengeng had a flash of inspiration in his mind and felt that another thing was more meaningful.

"When I was in Liaodong, I thought about how difficult it was to learn literacy, so I came up with a pinyin method that borrowed Latin letters. No one has verified whether it is successful or not. Why don't you help me take a look?"

Xu Ruolin looked at him blankly, her head filled with mush. She seemed to not recognize Zuo Mengeng anymore.

For thousands of years, culture and education have always been China's top priority.

For the sake of education, many sages have devoted their efforts and energy in the hope of making education easier.

Cangjie Chapter, Yuanli Chapter, Fanjiang Chapter, Jijiu Chapter, Thousand-Character Prose, Hundred Family Surnames, Three-Character Classic, there are many materials, and each one is a masterpiece that will leave its name in history.

The young man in front of me is quite courageous.

Although Zuo Menggeng has given Xu Ruolin many magical performances, Xu Ruolin does not think that Zuo Menggeng can do anything in terms of enlightenment.

Even though enlightenment is only for children to learn things clearly, everyone knows that the more basic something is, the more difficult it is.

There are so many great Confucian scholars who cannot make any progress in this field. You are a young person, why?

But when Zuo Mengeng explained the pinyin principle, not only Xu Ruolin, but also everyone present was stunned.

Huang Zongxi kept practicing the use of pinyin on paper, and the more he used it, the more frightened he became.

"When children are learning, the most difficult thing is to connect the characters. With this pinyin method, the speed at which children can memorize characters will undoubtedly be several times faster."

Everyone present, except Zhang Haogu, has a family background. They have a very deep understanding of the benefits of Pinyin.

Zhou You sighed: "By relying on this method alone, my virtuous brother can leave his name in history and be respected by the world."

Zuo Mengeng was not very happy.

"The world is in turmoil and all the people are in dire straits. It is extremely difficult to predict the future of this great country. No matter how good the knowledge is, without a basis for promotion, it will be like a mirror."

Everyone is convinced, but in the face of the turbulent situation, what is the solution?

…………………………………………

Zhou You came here this time as an invitation.

Concerning Zhou Chaorui's past, the imperial court finally paid tribute to Zhongliang.

Zima Alley, Zhou Mansion.

The prosperity of the past has long since disappeared. The walls and tiles of the courtyard are dilapidated and stained with dust. There is a ferocious seal on the door covered with dense cobwebs. The fiery red word "Feng" contains no one knows how much blood and tears it contains.

Today, there is a sea of ​​people outside Zhou Mansion, and the surrounding area is suffocating.

An incense table, red candles, three animals, and nine sacrifices were placed at the door to comfort the spirits of the heroes and martyrs in heaven.

Hou Xun, Liu Zongzhou, Qian Qianyi, Cao Wenheng, Zhang Zhenxiu, Qu Shishu, Zhang Jimeng, Wu Daochang and other officials came to witness this moment of redress of injustice.

Zuo Mengeng, Liu Yiyuan, Huang Zongxi and other friends accompanied him around, walked out of the crowd, and came to the incense table.

An official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs walked out, holding a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, and walked to stand in front of the incense case.

"The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says..."

The content is complex and brocade, with four figures and six figures in parallel, showing the royal demeanor.

The actual content is nothing more than that.

First, he stated Zhou Chaorui's past achievements, and then put all the blame on the eunuchs, and then emphasized that the wise emperor had a clear understanding of the situation and revitalized Chao Gang. It is all the emperor's credit that the loyal and martyrs can see the light of day again.

Tens of thousands of people were silent, listening to the imperial edict.

How much of it has taken it into your heart is unknown.

What Zuo Mengeng noticed was that there were so many people around, and when listening to the imperial edict, no one knelt down except the person involved.

It seems that what is shown in movies and TV series is purely a lie.

The most beneficial content in the imperial edict was to posthumously confer Zhou Chaorui the title of Minister of Dali Temple.

The people around him were talking a lot and many were envious.

But the officials all frowned, obviously unswerving.

Zuo Mengeng didn't understand, so he asked Huang Zongxi quietly.

"The emperor is so stingy that he doesn't even give him a posthumous title."

Zuo Mengeng understood.

Zhou Chaorui made such a great sacrifice, and the whole world looked up to him. Logically speaking, when justice is redressed, he should be rewarded generously.

However, Chongzhen only gave him a posthumous title, the Minister of Dali Temple, but not the most important posthumous title.

Thinking about it, Huang Zunsu only gave a posthumous gift to a servant. This new king's imperial thoughts were not even spared on such a thing.

The person involved travels around but doesn’t have so many ideas.

Although the imperial court's posthumous gifts were not generous, at least the Zhou family could see the light of day again.

The once dark life of a mouse was gone forever. The incense from his parents and relatives could be provided openly, and he was already very satisfied.

In other words, I have no expectations for this court, so I feel calm.

After reading the first decree, Zhou You accepted it.

Immediately, the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued a second imperial edict.

Compared with the first one, the content of the second imperial edict is very simple.

A few rough sentences with only one content, which is awarded to Zhou You.

Because of the auspiciousness of the Zhou Dynasty, traveling around can help the officials.

There are no specific official positions. You can choose whether to work in the capital or locally. You can choose to travel around.

This kind of favored official position would not have any important positions. The imperial court was still very generous. It didn't even have an actual position, it might just be a name.

Once it was a favor without any expense, the emperor would be very generous.

After the two decrees were issued, eight strong men came out carrying a huge plaque, walked up and hung it on the gate of Zhou Mansion, and then tore off the seal.

The red silk was uncovered and there were four large gilt characters written on it: Gongqing's Mansion.

There are four small words at the bottom.

Loyal and good family.

Zhou Chaorui posthumously gave him the title of Minister of Dali Temple, so he could be called Gongqing.

After everything was done, the officials knew that it would be an eyesore if they stayed here, so they hurriedly hid aside and gave the court to the original owner.

Four years have passed, but it feels like a lifetime ago.

I once walked through that familiar doorway every day, and my relatives' detailed instructions always sounded from behind.

The former residence is still there, but the people here are insignificant. What can never go back is the years!

Looking at the open door, Zhou You felt excited and walked slowly in full view of everyone.

After a few steps, his legs were weak and he suddenly fell to his knees. He kowtowed towards the door, then kowtowed again, nine times in a row.

The sound is like a cuckoo weeping blood, making people wet their lapels with tears.

When he raised his head again, his eyes were filled with blood and tears, and he could not suppress his grief.

"Father...mother...eldest brother...sister! I'm...back!"

The snow is falling all over the sky as if it were pure earth, and the heaven and earth are silently hoping for loyalty!

The turbulent years of the past came to mind, and the cries of thousands of people shook the sky.

There is a steelyard in the hearts of ordinary people. Whoever has fought for the world and the people will always be remembered.

Hou Xun was so excited that he took a step forward, opened his arms and shouted.

"Duke Zhou, your soul is back!"

Countless people bowed down to pay tribute, and their voices shook the heaven and the earth.

"Duke Zhou, the soul is back!"
