Chapter 375: Know the words and understand the meaning

It's another new day, the sky is slightly bright, and the entire Xinfeng County is already a busy scene, and the work is hot everywhere...

At this time, rows of soldiers took to the streets, and a piece of paper was posted everywhere in Xinfeng County.

People passed by curiously, and the paper was densely covered with fonts.

At the top, there are three big characters.

Three Character Classic!

"In order to carry out the literacy campaign in Xinfeng County and improve the cultural quality of the people in the city, Master Kang specially compiled the enlightenment textbook, The Three-Character Classic..."

After posting it, the soldier in charge shouted loudly to the onlookers: "Everyone is required to know the full text, memorize the full text silently, and understand it deeply!"

This statement instantly aroused a lot of discussion.

"What does this mean? Are there any special requirements?"

"I still don't understand. Master Kang wants us to become literate!"

"I understand. A few days ago, Master Kang went out on the street to ask if we have a school here."

"It's time to become literate. Our Xinfeng County is now very famous. Even people from the state capital come here. If we are not literate, it will not be justified."

"Xiao Li, aren't you literate? Nian Nian, what is that?"

There was no need for the city citizens to read it at all, a special person had already come over, a young scholar.

"Hello fellow villagers, my name is Liu Tongbao, from Yangzhou Academy. Now I am here to teach you how to recite this three-character sutra and explain it."

The young scholar introduced himself gracefully.

"Yangzhou Academy?"

Someone understood it and immediately said in shock: "This is the best academy in Yangzhou. I heard that people who study there can become a scholar at the end of the exam."

"Yes, such a person will teach us?"

"Be quiet. Master Kang specially invited someone to teach you. We must study hard."

At this time, Liu Tongbao stretched out his hand to signal, and all the people watching fell silent.

Pointing to the posted notice, he said: "This article is called the Three Character Classic, and its creator is Master Kang!"

"This Three-Character Sutra covers reading, reading, and reasoning. I hope you will not disappoint Master Kang, study it carefully with me, and listen to my explanation."

As Liu Baotong spoke, someone next to him handed him a teaching stick. He used the teaching stick to point at the words on the paper and read: "In the beginning, human beings are inherently good by nature, similar in nature, and distant in habits."

"This means that when people are born, their natures are very similar, but with the different influences of their living environments, each person's habits will change,"

"The most important thing here is the word "kindness"..."

Liu Baotong read and explained word for word, while outside, the onlookers were listening carefully and gradually entered the state...

This explanation lasted for an hour, and the Three Character Sutra only lasted five or six sentences.

When the time came, Liu Baotong said: "That's it for today's explanation. I will be here tomorrow at the same time to explain it to you. Now you can go and get busy."

"However, this Three-Character Sutra will always be posted here. Everyone can study it by themselves and discuss with each other in their spare time..."

After saying this, everyone dispersed, returned to the construction site, and continued working.

But people are still saying that in the beginning, human beings are inherently good by nature, similar in nature, but far apart in habits...

Once you understand its meaning and recognize its words, it will naturally be unforgettable.

The same scene happened in many busy streets in Xinfeng County.

A special lecture started this morning.

And these are all arranged by Wang Kang. The Three Character Classic is the best enlightenment teaching material.

It covers understanding, daily life, knowledge... it is the most basic things.

But the popularization of education is not just something that can be said casually, nor can it bring all the people in the city together for collective teaching.

This is not realistic either,

So he came up with this method, spending some time every day to have people take to the streets to explain it to the people.

Let them be able to read and understand in daily life and gradually improve.

For example, Liu Baotong and others were recruited from Yangzhou Academy by writing to Master Cai before.

The literacy campaign is in full swing.

When people are working, they are still talking about it from time to time...

At the county government office, Wang Kang and his cousin had already discussed setting up a school!

This is Wang Kang's idea that he had long ago, and he can't wait to do it.

The construction of Xinfeng County is in full swing. With the spread of fame and the construction of roads, more and more people are coming from outside...

The development has already begun to bear fruit.

But there is already a real problem before us, government affairs, management...

Wang Kang was the first to come to Xinfeng County, bringing with him a group of students recommended by Master Cai.

There are not many people in this group, they just barely build a shelf.

But managing a city is not that simple, it requires many people, and Wang Kang's arrangements are different.

Education, medical care, urban construction...

But now, it is a bit chaotic and unsystematic. If you want to expand and form a team, you need...talents!

Therefore, on the one hand, running a school is to provide education for children and develop education; on the other hand, it is also to cultivate talents!

If he wants to run a school, he will naturally have to be different. What he wants to teach is not just to understand, but to read by rote, shake his head and brain, and those who know Huhu...

Such a person means nothing to him.

What he wants to cultivate is people who can think clearly, use them flexibly, and can be beneficial to the development of Xinfeng County...

County government office, in Wang Kang's study.

Su Zhe was taking a piece of paper and looking at it carefully. What was written on the paper was the Three-Character Sutra.

He looked very slowly and extremely seriously.

After a long time, he finally put it down and asked in surprise: "Did my cousin write this Three Character Sutra?"

"Yes and no," Wang Kang's answer was ambiguous.

The Three-Character Classic is not his original creation, but a classic from a previous life, but it appears for the first time in this era, so he only had this answer.

"This Three-Character Sutra, the first sutra of enlightenment education, is of extraordinary significance!" Su Zhe said solemnly.

Wang Kang looked at Su Zhe with a smile. He knew that with his cousin's talent, he would be able to understand the profound meaning.

"My cousin has said before that he wants to set up a school in Xinfeng County? I don't know what are his considerations?"

"Yes, this is also the purpose of calling you here," Wang Kang said with a smile: "I want to develop education in Xinfeng County, and I also want to leave this heavy responsibility to you."

"But, I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Su Zhe said with a slight hesitation: "Besides, my cousin doesn't seem to be too happy with what he usually learns."

"You can rest assured about this,"

Wang Kang smiled and said: "I have made general arrangements. Starting today, there will be people on the streets giving special lectures on the Three Character Classic."

"This is basic education, and running a school is about targeted professors,"

He paused and then said: "According to my assumption, in this new school, the main professors will not be the four books and five classics, poetry, theory and meaning..."

After hearing this, Su Zhe asked in surprise: "Isn't this what the teacher teaches? Then what do you teach?"

He knew that Wang Kang would break the rules, but this break was too drastic, it was like starting from scratch...

Wang Kang smiled and said in a deep voice: "This new study will teach arithmetic, nature, politics, management..."
