Chapter 48: Pinyin Literacy

Zhao Yuanzuo handled the official documents of the military farm department and handed over all the unimportant and complicated statistics to Zhao Qi and the others. He called Chen Tong over again.

As soon as Chen Tong arrived, he was taken to the study by Zhao Yuanzuo. There were military troops guarding the door, and no one else could get close to him.

The two of them have been discussing the matter of Liao Kingdom and looking for places to start.

We were busy until noon and finally formulated several plans. Zhao Yuanzuo and Chen Tong walked out of the house with laughter and laughter.

"Your Highness!" Niu Quanzhong kept standing outside the door, and bowed again when he saw Zhao Yuanzuo.

Zhao Yuanzuo was stunned. What happened today? He had already made the county master cold twice. He laughed and said, "Mr. Niu is here just right. I'm asking you for help if I have something to do."

"It is an honor for the villain to be able to help Your Highness. If you have any questions, please give me instructions."

"It's not a big worry. Magistrate Niu, please find a blacksmith in Xincheng County who is well-versed in craftsmanship. I want to create something."

Niu Quanzhong gave a breath secretly. If it were just such a small matter, he would of course be happy to give his favor to him.

"Don't worry, your highness! This is easy to find, I'll arrange it right away!" Niu Quanzhong said goodbye to Zhao Yuanzuo and left in a hurry.

"What is your highness asking for a blacksmith?" Chen Tong was very surprised. He didn't know if Zhao Yuanzuo was not in charge of the farming properly, so why did he call for a blacksmith again?

"Just just to make a gadget. Chen Tong, I asked you to prepare wine, how did you prepare?"

"Your Highness, our new city is not far from Jingzhou. I have arranged someone to go to Zhang Shou, the owner of Jingzhou Deshengfang, to invite him to come to Xincheng to meet him."

"Zhang Shou?" Zhao Yuanzuo laughed and said, "Okay, Zhang Shou can do business to Liao Kingdom, and he thinks he has some ability. At least he has his own channel, which is where I want to borrow. If Zhang Shouken cooperates with me, I wouldn't mind giving him a wealth."

Chen Tong sighed in his heart that this old man was so lucky that he actually received favor from His Highness. He would have to drink a pot of him next time he met.

After sending Niu Quanzhong away, Zhao Yuanzuo asked Chen Tong to continue to form a team to guide him, and went back to start drawing tools for distillation.

"Meet Your Highness!" When Zhao Yuanzuo came back, several servants greeted him respectfully at the door. Several people looked at him without squinting their eyes and expressions were respectful, and finally became much more honest.

Zhao Yuanzuo nodded and said, "You all get up! Since you are here, do it steadily and do it well. Don't think about any evil ways, otherwise I will let Niu Quanzhong take you all back!"

"Yes!" Several people also heard about how their ex was driven back, so they quickly agreed in a proper manner.

"Brother" Zhao Ying rushed out of the house and hung it on Zhao Yuanzuo.

"Yingzi was not punished today!" Zhao Yuanzuo smiled and pinched her nose. Zhao Ying hid behind and said, "No? Even the master praised me for being smart. It's much better than the two senior sisters."

Zhao Ying said as she looked at Zhao Yuanzuo behind, and then she felt relieved when she found that there was no figure of Bajie and Jiumei. It was not a good moral character to arrange others behind her back.

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed and took Zhao Ying back home. The slaves also came in and began to clean the yard and prepare supper.

Zhao Yuanzuo accompanied Zhao Ying to read for a while. The little girl worked tirelessly when she practiced martial arts, but when she was studying, she was frowning and her facial features were frowning, like a big bitter word.

Zhao Yuanzuo reached out to smooth her brow and said, "What's wrong? I found it more uncomfortable than killing you! Isn't it just study? Is it that difficult?"

"It's not that difficult? It's so, so, so, so, so many so difficult! Who created this word? Why did so many strokes make me dazzled, and I remember it today and tomorrow I will forget it again."

"Yingzi is right, this is simply tormenting!" Eighth sister stepped in from outside. Ninth sister covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Eighth sister was a person who couldn't sit still and had been taught by her parents in order to study.

There was no trick in ancient Chinese teaching, just memorizing it, and everything was memorized by rote memory; but the traditional Chinese characters in ancient times were very complicated and difficult to remember, and even reached a point that influenced people's literacy.

No wonder even Mr. Lu Xun called out that the Chinese characters will perish if they are destroyed, but they are actually aimed at traditional Chinese characters.

"This Chinese character is really hard for you." Bajie said Zhao Ying's thoughts in one sentence. The little girl kept nodding and said, "Yes! Yes! If this weren't for reading and using it every day, who would remember it? I still have to practice martial arts every day? How can I have time to memorize it every day?"

"Oh!" Eighth Sister and Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief. The two looked at each other and said that they would like to meet too late.

"Your Highness, I'll teach Zhao Ying some simple words. Just be able to understand some simple official documents. There is no need to make it so complicated."

"Yeah, yeah!" Zhao Ying nodded deeply after hearing this.

Zhao Yuanzuo snorted and said, "I think it's beautiful. Although I don't require Yingzi to be proficient in poetry, songs and essays, I also have to have all the strategies of military books. How can I be illiterate? Isn't it just to learn to read first? I'll find a way!"

"Can you have a way to do this?" The eighth sister and ninth sister looked at Zhao Yuanzuo's eyes with little stars. No one can solve it for so many years. Can you have a way to solve it? Are you a god descending to earth?

"Why don't you believe this? I have a way! After this time, I will teach you a pinyin literacy method. As long as there are 26 letters, you can remember all Chinese characters.

Come on, I will teach you the pronunciation of letters first, and then let’s take out a few words and I can mark the pronunciation for you.”

Jiu Mei was a little unbelievable. It is said that there are tens of thousands of Chinese characters, and maybe I can’t finish learning them all in my life. You can express them in just 26 letters. Isn’t this a joke?

Zhao Yuanzuo took out a large piece of paper and wrote out twenty-six letters, initials, finals, and tone. Then he explained them one by one, and saw that they had a rough understanding. Then he picked up the thousand-character text and asked Jiu Mei to turn out a page at will, and then began to pronunciate.

There were not many words written on a piece of paper in ancient times, and the pronunciation was soon completed. Zhao Yuanzuo began to spell the following what he had just taught them.

"It's really OK!" Eighth Sister and Nine Sister became interested. They asked and read them as they asked. Soon they read them all.

"I will also study, Brother Guan, let me have another article!" Sister Eighth was very happy and chose another article for Zhao Yuanzuo to make the pronunciation. With this warmth and Zhao Yuanzuo's guidance, the two of them could complete it stutteringly.

Jiu Mei felt that she didn't know what to say about Zhao Yuanzuo, so she opened her mouth for a long time and couldn't say a word.

"Ah——" Sister Ba said with some pride: "I learned this back and found a book to pronounce it, and then went back to read it for my mother! She wouldn't always say that I don't like reading! Brother Guan, you have helped me a lot!"

Zhao Yuanzuo enjoyed the admiration of his eighth sister and smiled: "This is nothing? I know a lot? You will worship me soon."

"Bah, don't be ashamed!" The twin beauties spat at him together, and then several people laughed loudly.

Soon the servants came in and invited them to have a meal. Then several people put down the paper and pen in their hands and walked out of the study. Zhao Ying was still a childish character and was having fun. He looked back at the books on the table from time to time, like a good student who was good at studying.

As soon as a few people came out, the servants cleaned the courtyard. The large courtyard was completely refreshed, and the windows looked bright and very clean.

"It's not bad! It's different if you clean up or not! It looks much more pleasing to you all at once. You guys have done a good job and keep this in the future!"

"Yes!" Several servants agreed cleanly, and someone led Zhao Yuanzuo and others to have a meal.

The restaurant has also been specially tidy and looks as clean as new, making people feel very happy. There are a few foods with meat and vegetables on the table, which makes Zhao Yuanzuo and others feel very satisfied.

Everyone sat next to the table and started to feast. Soon after they had enough food and food, the servants began to clean up the dishes. Zhao Ying looked at him with a gaze, wondering if he should go up to help.

Zhao Yuanzuo laughed and said, "Yingzi, don't think too much. Whether to practice martial arts or study, it's up to you!"

"Then brother, let's continue to teach me how to read!" Zhao Ying was in high spirits and pulled Zhao Yuanzuo away without saying a word.

"What's the point? Jiu Mei is here to learn skills. Let's go to my mother to learn martial arts." The eighth sister still couldn't help but pull Jiu Mei to run away in a hurry.

Zhao Yuanzuo and Yingzi pulled a stool and sat next to the table, teaching her to read and recognize words bit by bit.

When the eighth sister and the ninth sister came back from practicing martial arts, Zhao Ying was able to spell the letters skillfully. This learning ability made Zhao Yuanzuo feel ashamed. If this were to be put in the previous life, he would be a primary school leader.

While walking, the eighth sister and the ninth sister were excitedly competing for some martial arts. Although the two of them had only been learning for a few days, their martial arts were improving rapidly and they were very interested.

When the two of them came back, they found that the two brothers and sisters were still discussing happily. They hurried over to watch. The little girl was thin in summer and was sweating all over after she finished practicing the exercises. She was emitting heat, just like two stoves.

Zhao Yuanzuo felt the fragrance and suddenly raised his head, and found two little beauties standing next to him, one on the left and one on the right.
