Chapter 8 Chinese characters(1/2)

"The sound of the piano in your courtyard has been different from the past lately, but is it played by the little girl named Jiao?"

The clan elder is very important in the village, and is also responsible for collecting grain and taxes, so if he can be asked to take the initiative to find people, there are usually some requirements.

The clan elder did not bother much with Liu Cang. He looked at the direction of Liu Cang's house as if subconsciously and asked Liu Cang.

"Huh? Of course." Liu Cang was puzzled and nodded in response.

Old Man Jiao was an old man whom Liu Cang rescued in the woods a year ago. The old man seemed gentle, but he killed dozens of robbers with a decorated sword.

The old man's karma was extraordinary, but his physique was somewhat weak. Probably because his karma exploded too intensely, and after a short period of fighting, his physical condition was not ideal.

When the old man was half dead, he happened to be met by Liu Cang.

The old man didn't intend to report it to the official. After secretly checking the old man's real name, Liu Cang kindly took the old man back to his home for recuperation.

The old man said his surname was Jiao, but Liu Cang didn't reveal it.

The old man wanted to go to the Five Elements, but he seemed a little reluctant.

Liu Cang, who lived alone, happened to have a vacant wooden house in his home, so the old man and his young daughter stayed in this mulberry village.

After a year, the three of them got along harmoniously. The daughter named Jiao mentioned by the clan elder was the six-year-old daughter of the old man.

"Well, that's right. I think that Jiao Feibai is not an ordinary person. Living with you will be quite helpful for your writing." The clan elder nodded, and Liu Cang was a little confused by what he said.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, but what do you think is wrong with that person?" Liu Cang asked.

Old Man Jiao said to himself that Jiao Feibai would definitely not inform the clan elders when he moved into Sang Village.

Since moving in, I have occasionally seen clan elders chatting with Old Man Jiao. Old Man Jiao lives in seclusion, and no villagers have any objections to the father and daughter.

"It doesn't matter. I saw that he was preoccupied originally, but now that he is determined to train his young daughter, I wonder if he can train the younger members of the clan by the way?" the clan elder said, looking at Liu Cang.

"Enlightenment? Let me tell you?" Liu Cang had a strange expression and looked up and down at the clan elder.

"It's clear, let's take a look. I'd say that Daheng is a smart young man. Among the younger generation, he is smart." The clan elder smiled and praised a group of old people under the shed. In exchange for a response, he also got Liu Cang.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

Jiao Feibai seemed down and out, but he was arrogant and even a fool could see it, including Liu Cang, who gradually accepted him and got close to him only after spending a lot of time with him.

He is friendly to the villagers, but maintains a barrier. To put it bluntly, he somewhat dislikes getting along with villagers and women.

That kind of arrogance can even be said to be arrogance. At first, Liu Cang was given food and accommodation, but it gave people a sense of right. If it weren't for the sake of his well-behaved little girl, Liu Cang almost didn't punch him.

Lousang Village is not all composed of the Liu clan. There are also a small number of outsiders. However, these people are slightly weaker in the village. If they do not integrate with the Liu clan and do not have the support of the Liu clan, they often need to be courteous in conflicts.

The elders of the clan were also smart people and could not figure out the details of Old Man Jiao, but they were intimidated by his demeanor and saw that he had a bit of a noble demeanor. They did not explore the details, but they did not let the villagers provoke him.

The clan elder now wanted Old Man Jiao to contribute to the village. He knew that he was afraid that Old Man Jiao would not have enough weight, so he asked Liu Cang to be the pioneer.

And what Liu Cang was thinking at this moment was: "You really used a dragon-slaying knife to kill a pig. I wonder if Old Man Jiao would agree."

"Elder of the clan, you'd better take it easy. It's not like there is no enlightenment in the village, so don't bring trouble to yourself." Liu Cang sighed to the clan elder like an old man.

"Doesn't the village need to spend more money on food for the enlightened young man? How come? That Jiao Feibai is not engaged in production, but lives and eats in my Lousang Village. What kind of bad luck am I looking for!" The clan elder glared dissatisfied.

"Eating your dry food!?" Liu Cang retorted with a glare. The clan elder's expression was astonished, and his face turned dark and angry in the blink of an eye.

"You evildoer! How dare you act like this with me!?" While scolding, the clan elder turned around and looked around, as if looking for someone who could take advantage of him.

"Nah!" Liu Cang cursed in his heart, could he just copy someone without saying a few words? Can't we be reasonable?

"Tangzi, why are you talking to the clan elders?" The old man under the shed smiled a little. Some people tried to dissuade the clan elders from looking for weapons, and some people scolded Liu Cang in a protective manner.

"Let's talk to your uncle... um, apologize to the elder of the clan and have a good talk." The old man's expression froze as he spoke. Apparently, the title "uncle" has become a taboo between Sangcun and East Village. I don't know when.

.

"Hey, clan elder, please stop being busy and listen to what I have to say." Liu Cang sighed and said, "No way, otherwise the old man will not be able to get down the steps, and he will definitely find someone to beat him up."

Moreover, in the eyes of peers in the village, this kind of beating may be regarded as partiality.

"Say, if you can't tell me that you are ugly, don't blame me for serving you." The clan elder said angrily.

But he saw Liu Cang's brows twitching wildly. The clan elder was afraid that Liu Cang would throw away his hands and lose face even more. He snorted and just stared at Liu Cang, but said no more.

Liu Cang is very powerful and good at martial arts. No one in the village can be his opponent regardless of whether he kills or kills. Moreover, this boy has a strong survival ability and is hardworking and willing to work. I am afraid he will be popular in other villages.

Apart from being stubborn and having a bad mouth, this guy doesn't have anything wrong with him.

Among this generation, the elders of the clan are still very fond of Liu Cang, and it is fun to see Liu Cang being arrogant. However, when the arrogance reaches his head, it makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

Liu Cang reluctantly bowed and handed over to the clan elder, admitting his mistake, but his thoughts became wandering.

I dare not say that in other eras, but speaking of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the cultural level of the people was really not as desolate as later generations imagined.

The so-called illiteracy means that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, at least half of the people could not be called illiterate at all.

Just like this Liushi Sang Village, in any village with household registration, there will be people who will enlighten children in writing, and this is especially true in places where the same clan gathers.

However, if there is no famous teacher, this kind of enlightenment is usually simply common words, and the teacher's way of educating students is to love to learn but not to finish teaching.

And usually these villagers don't really care much about this kind of enlightenment.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Some people want to kneel down and kowtow when they meet someone who teaches them how to read, and some people want to kill pigs and sheep when they see someone who is enlightening them.

It's just nonsense.

The big man is not so backward and barren!

Of course, this kind of enlightenment only teaches writing, and there is basically no possibility of teaching writing ancient books and the like in common people's villages.

Because the books are precious and the sentences are vague, most of those responsible for enlightenment do not know how to teach, or dare not teach.

For most common people, it is enough to know some commonly used words. What about those who farm and write poems?

No one in the Han Dynasty has a monopoly on writing, but everyone can see clearly that if you want to climb the ladder, Xiwen is only the most basic foundation.

I love to learn, but I have some concepts about words since I was a child. As I get older, I will always be familiar with commonly used words if I have contact with them. If I have the opportunity, I can read the book.

In various film and television cultural works of the past, it seems that all the Han people are illiterate, which is simply the worst slander.

Let’s not mention the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for now, let’s just talk about the Historical Records and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms.

I still won’t talk about the civil servants and celebrities, but let’s look at the bold and arrogant generals.

Many of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms came from poor and humble backgrounds, not to mention clan villagers, tribesmen, fugitives, slaves, refugees, disaster victims, and border refugees.

Some say that they are not good at literature, some say that they are not good at strategy, and some say that they cannot write. As for Dan who is illiterate but is familiar with military literature, we will not talk about it.

By the way, how many of them are illiterate or illiterate?

Unless those killers in history are not from the human world, then this ratio is completely wrong, right?

Ya's Guan Yumang was so aggressive that he ran away in various ways and sold dates in various ways. Even he was like Chunqiu when he got started.

Do you really think that Spring and Autumn is an enlightenment book?

Start studying the Five Classics on your own. You are such a genius. Does your Zhuge Liang know?

I also don’t want to think about where the Han people’s contempt and pride for barbarians as a whole come from.

"The state has a great scholar, but I am illiterate. What does it matter to me if the great scholar is a great scholar?"

The illiteracy rate among older men is not that high. However, those who can write and compose poetry still need some background, enough time, and some decent mentors to guide them.

The Han Dynasty respected teachers, but here it is a bit philistine. In essence, what people respect is famous teachers.

What is a famous teacher?

You must be knowledgeable, but more importantly, you must have connections and connections. A name has the effect of 'paving the way' and can guide students on the way to climb.

To put it bluntly, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, every teacher must have a provenance. Anyone who makes enemies for a teacher will belong to the same family!

As for the master of martial arts, even if you are a folk craftsman, you have to raise your apprentices to be fat and fat, and teach you some unique skills that can support your family and save your life. This is inheritance.

In a word: If you can't create a life, you are a famous teacher.

Although the Han Dynasty declined at the end of the Han Dynasty, the people's wisdom was not improved.

Do you really think it is extremely difficult to learn two Chinese characters?

Do you really think that knowing two words will make you a great person?

Do you really think anyone dares to call you master and father?

How much do you despise the Han people, how much do you despise the learning ability of the Han people, and how ignorant do you think the Han people are, so that you can come up with those arguments?

If so, what is the difference between Han people and barbarians?

Moral character? I'll go, that's good. If we hadn't known that those big guys killed people, set fires, and robbed women, we would have almost believed it.

How can a strong man be so powerful and flamboyant?

In other words, in history, when has such exaggeration been dared to be strong?

Self-improvement is not a point, but a face. Since ancient times, all countries have been like this.

His thoughts wandered, and he finally looked at the old face of the clan elder with gnashed teeth. Liu Cang hesitated again and again, and finally thought of an explanation that was not too exciting for the old man.

"Elder, do you know what Jiao Feibai does on weekdays?" Liu Cang asked the elder.

"What else can you do? Play the harp and paint, and you don't even see him selling in the market. He actually asked me about silk. A down-and-out man must be a prodigal." The clan elder said to Liu Cang in anger.
