“Come, come, sit here.” Tang Wen said as he patted his thigh. “You wish!” Gu hanyan rolled her eyes and gave Tang Wen a disdainful look. She moved a short stool over and sat opposite Tang Wen, reaching for the spoon. “I’m not asking you to feed me, I can eat it myself. Hanyan, I need your help. ” Tang Wen said as he sat up. “What kind of help do you need?” Gu hanyan was alert. “You’re a well – mannered and well – mannered lady. ” Tang Wen said. “Master, don’t flatter me. I’m just a lowly servant.” Gu hanyan said sarcastically. “You see, the servants that my Tang family recruited are generally illiterate, and there are less than thirty of them who can read. Although some could read a few words, it was not much. Now that the dam had been built, many iron horses needed to be controlled. They couldn’t be moved without being literate. That’s why I’m going to start a literacy class. ” Tang Wen said. “Literacy class? what does that mean?” Gu hanyan asked. “Those who can’t even read a single word are called illiterates, so we have to let these illiterates learn to read. Jun ru’s father used to be a teacher, so he could be considered one. It’s just that we have too many people and one master is too little. So, since you can read, I want you to teach them how to read. Also, I can’t start learning from a young age like I did in the past. How many years would that take? I can’t wait. He had to get a crash course. What was a crash course? it was a class where they could learn most numbers in a short period of time. It would only take about two months for them to learn some words. He would write letters and make some simple transactions. ” Tang Wen said. “How is it possible to learn it in one or two months? We’ve been learning for two to three years. Moreover, I haven’t learned it all yet. ” Gu hanyan shook her head. “Of course they can’t be compared to the real scholars. It’s good enough that they can recognize some commonly used words. Otherwise, if I take a few years to learn it, how can I do my work here? You see, there are more than a thousand people now, and we need to eat and wear clothes. If nothing happens, we’ll all have to drink from the Northwest wind. ” Tang Wen said. “It’s been hard on you, master. But it’s impossible to learn a few words in a month or two.” Gu Hanyan. “What’s impossible? look at these books.” Tang Wen passed her a language book. Gu hanyan flipped it open and was stunned. “There’s even a picture?” “Of course. Look, these two words are called rooster, and this is called rice ... Wouldn’t it be easier to remember them if they were accompanied by a picture?” Tang Wen said. “Oh my, it’s true. I remember it so much. I know what a rooster is and what rice is after watching it a few times.” Zhan junru, who was at the side, saw this and was instantly so shocked that her mouth was wide open. “This drawing is really similar, it’s just like a rooster. Who drew this?” Gu hanyan asked in surprise. “Hehe.” Tang Wen smiled but didn’t answer. “You drew it?” Gu hanyan was stunned and stared at Tang Wen. “I did it.” Tang Wen didn’t dare to say that he had drawn it. If Gu hanyan insisted that he drew it on the spot, it would be embarrassing. The photos taken by the mobile phone and the color imprints were of course very realistic. “Then who wrote this book?” Gu hanyan asked. “Other than me, your master, who else can make such a magical thing?” Tang Wen looked at Gu hanyan with a smug smile. “Tsk! Little sister Jun ru, look at these words, they’re all carved from the same mold, they’re definitely printed. ” Gu Hanyan. “Of course it’s printed, but this book was written by me. If I didn’t write it, they can’t print it. Hanyan, you should familiarize yourself with the books first. We’re going to start class tonight, so you have to be prepared. Also, junru, send a book to your father and tell him to get familiar with it and prepare to teach at night. ” Tang Wen said. Gu hanyan, on the other hand, was obsessed with Chinese and spent the entire day reading. Hehe, when I bring out mathematics, you’re going to be shocked ... Also, don’t you like to play the piano? I’ll make another music book. Don’t you like to play chess? And a book on the thirty – six games of go, haha ... A certain Tang was smiling evilly ... At night, the first batch of ‘students’ arrived. There were about 100 people in total, and Gu hanyan and Zhan Shifeng sat on the stage in front of them with solemn expressions. Most of these people could read dozens or even hundreds of words, but a small number of them could only read a few. “Everyone, there is a Golden House in the book, and there is also Yan ruyu in the book. Do you know the meaning of this sentence?” Tang Wen, who was dressed like an old scholar, stood on the podium and asked. “Does the House of Gold mean that there’s gold in the book?” Bu Feng asked. “That’s right!” Tang Wen nodded. “How can there be gold in the book?” Zhao du asked in confusion. “That’s right, master. If there’s gold in the books, wouldn’t we be rich if we each buy a few books?” “That’s true, that’s true ...” Hahaha ... Everyone burst into laughter. “Be serious. This is a school. If the old master says there is one, there is one.” Li Quan looked at Tang Wen and scolded him with a stern face. “What’s wrong with the school? The Academy should also allow everyone to discuss. ” Gu hanyan said. “Lady Gu, you can’t say such things.” Li Quan was anxious. “Alright, Li Quan, of course the Academy will allow everyone to discuss. It’s better to have different opinions. Many things can be improved through discussion. ” Tang Wen waved his hand. “I’d like to ask old master Tang, how did you get gold from a book? I also want to change it to 1200 taels. ” Gu hanyan said sarcastically. “A thousand taels would be better.” Someone added. “Where does knowledge come from? most of it comes from reading. Knowledge was wealth. To give a simple example. If you study hard and become an official, will you have more money? Also, if you’re doing business and you’re illiterate, you won’t even know if you’ve been scammed. If you were knowledgeable, reasonable, and had a clear vision, you would not be easily deceived and would be able to earn more money. Also, for example, when we build a dam, do you think the excavators are powerful?” Tang Wen asked. “Of course it’s powerful. That Iron Horse is too fierce.” Zhan dongwen said with a nod. “All of this requires knowledge to create. The amount of soil excavated by an excavator in a day is equivalent to the amount dug by hundreds of people. The person who made the excavator was a knowledgeable person. An excavator that was shipped from the West could be sold for hundreds of thousands of taels. Think about it, how much can you earn? A few hundred thousand taels, most people in this world would not be able to earn that in their entire lifetime. If you have profound knowledge, you will also have this opportunity. And the reason why the scholars can earn more money than you is because they are more knowledgeable than you. ” Tang Wen said. “What about Yan ruyu?” Gu hanyan asked, not convinced. “Yan ruyu was a beauty in ancient times.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Old master Tang is really amazing. It’s barely acceptable that the book can turn into gold, but it can also turn into a beautiful woman. What a joke.” Gu hanyan said sarcastically. “Of course it can change. Think about it, how much is a beauty in this world? a pretty girl in a brothel only costs a few dozen taels of silver. With your knowledge and money, are you still afraid of not having beauties?” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Hahaha ...” “Old master Tang is right.” “Yes, yes, that’s how it is ...” “I want to study ...” …… “I said so much just now to prove the importance of studying. This, everyone actually knows. So, from today onwards, no matter if you’re a master or a craftsman, no matter how arrogant you were in the past, you’d better be honest and recognize the words. You can only proceed with the next step after you’re literate. Come, I’ll open everyone’s eyes today. ” Tang Wen said as he turned on the switch of the ‘whiteboard’. The next moment, the white board lit up, and beautiful music started playing. Everyone, including Gu hanyan, was stunned. “Ah, old master knows immortal techniques?” “Master, why is there a sound coming from inside?” “There must be a mechanism. I heard that someone from the Gongsun family also knows how to do this. Even wood can make sounds.” …… Tang Wen let them discuss for a while before he pressed his hand down. He had chosen the opening theme song of “the Legend of the Condor shooting hero”, which was a historical drama, so he was not afraid of being exposed. That was because the style of the clothes was similar. Hence, he pointed at the whiteboard and a rooster crowed. Tang Wen pointed at the words and said,”these two words mean rooster ... Open the book and find where the rooster is.” “I found it, I found it.” Someone cried out in surprise. The next moment, everyone flipped to the page.
