Caoshi was opened for five days in a row. The transaction tax and entry tax in Huaihuang Town were calculated in symbolic levies. Li Chongjiu, who was a businessman in his previous life, certainly understood what the merchants needed better. Instead of letting them force a tax, it would be better for these people to spend here and then win-win results for the entire Huaihuang Town.

Afterwards, the merchants carried a lot of goods back to Yanmen. Li Chongjixin felt that when they came and went, they were different. The Turkic troops north of Yanmen County suffered a lot of losses in the battle with Li Chongji. After seeing the combat power of the Cangtou Army, they should be much restrained and dared not go as quickly as before and easily to the Great Wall near the Great Wall, so he didn't have to go there in person.

So when Li Chongjiu returned to Yanmen, he felt that there should be no problem under the escort of the Li family escort agency and the three cavalrymen of Wang Mahan. On the way, when Li Chongjiu asked them to pass through Lingqiu County, he handed over the head of the Turks to the county magistrate Chen Xiaoyi, and asked the other party to report the victory to the court for him. Li Chongjiu did this and wanted to divide the credit. After all, the county magistrate Chen Xiaoyi supported him with thirty crossbows. A few days later, Wang Mahan led six cavalry back to Yanmen. In addition to reporting the safety of the journey, there was also a handwritten letter from Chen Xiaoyi to himself. The letter said that he had learned that Li Chongjiu had won a great victory in Yanmen. At present, the trend of Turkic troops going south to shed horses has slowed down, and the pressure in Lingqiu County where he was located has also been greatly reduced. As for asking for merit from the court and the Taiyuan Left-behind Mansion in Jinyang, he did not mention it.

After reading the letter, Li Chongjiu smiled. For Chen Xiaoyi, this is the least worth mentioning. At this time, footsteps came from the wooden board outside the door. He ran into Li Chongjiu's house with barefoots, and then threw himself into Li Chongjiu's arms.

"It's over school?" Li Chongjiu asked.

Pingping nodded, then picked up a half-eat mutton onion pancake on the table, and began to chew it carefully. At this time, Zhou Xu, the Sima of Huaihuang Town and the head of the Hope Mengguan, also stepped in and bowed to Li Chongjiu, saying, "See the Lord."

Li Chongjiu signaled the other party to take a seat and asked, "What's wrong with studying in the Mengguan?"

Zhou Xu bowed his hand and then took a stack of paper and handed it to Li Chongjiu. Li Chongjiu brought the paper, and saw the words "The Legend of Heaven and Earth, the Great World, the Universe, and other words" written on it. At a glance, you can tell that it was the beginning of the Thousand Characters. There were two words on the side of each character. This scene reminded him of the first grade pinyin textbook for elementary school students.

Zhou Xuyan said: "Reporting to the Lord, Yunyin has finished teaching three months ago. Now he is teaching them a thousand-character essay. The children work very hard. Except for a few of the less qualified, many people have memorized the full text. It is estimated that the next month, they can teach them to learn the Analects of Confucius and sentences."

Li Chongjiu thought about it and thought that the Analects of Confucius was also good. As for the advancement of knowledge and knowledge, he did not have to hurry to take out the books of the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Names so misleading, and plagiarize the achievements of future generations. However, as for the sentence breaking, Li Chongjiu had another idea. The sentence breaking is a very difficult knowledge. If you can reach the level of reading and lying words, you can break away from the category of Bai Ding's illiteracy and become a student equivalent to the ancient nine-year compulsory graduation.

There are more than 8,000 people in Huaihuang Town now, and there are no more than 30 people who can read and write, and the rest are mostly half a bucket of water. In the future, in order to break the aristocratic family and monopoly on knowledge, children from poor families must first become educated. In order to allow poor families to learn culture quickly, the threshold for knowledge cannot be too high, otherwise it will be very difficult to promote. Now, the knowledge of literature can be gradually progressive through rhymes, and Li Chongjiu also has a way to make sentences.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu asked Pingping to take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and whispered the words "Zi said, "Isn't it pleasant to learn and practice it from time to time?" Zhou Xu recognized that this was the first sentence of the Analects of Confucius. Li Chongjiu marked the punctuation with a comma period in the middle. In fact, although the punctuation only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, ancient scholars marked the footnotes on the article for the beginning, inheritance, transformation and continuation of the article to indicate the pauses when reading. Ancient people called it sentence reading (Note 1).

Li Chongjiu's meaning of comma is marked as the meaning is not finished, and the tone can be stopped, while the period indicates the end of the meaning. Zhou Xu couldn't help but feel like a fight. At this time, Ji Chuan, the director of the army, also entered. After reading Li Chongjiu's method of reading sentences, he sneered a few times and said without hesitation: "The method of a king and a lord is indeed wonderful, but it is far from the meaning of a saint."

"What do you mean?" Li Chongjiu asked unhappily.

At present, Ji Chuan took out the topics he had debated with Li Chongjiu. In the end, the people could be allowed to do so, but they should not be allowed to know; or the people could be allowed to do so, but they should not be allowed to do so, but they should not be allowed to do so. Ji Chuan said loudly: "The words of a sage are one mind. Do the king and the prince forcefully interpret them with one's own will?"

Li Chongjiu said with a serious expression: "The saint's words are far away, but if this method is universal, if the words of future generations are spoken, we can know it."

Zhou Xu heard this and reluctantly raised his head and said, "The way of a king can save the hard work of a job for several months, but there are disadvantages and advantages."

"From ancient times, no reform has been easy, but what I want is that everyone can read, everyone can read, and everyone can know the learning of saints. Such a small disadvantage is also spared."

Zhou Xu, after hearing Li Chongjiu's inspiring words, untied his heart. However, Ji Chuan still shook his head and said coldly: "Everyone can know that the saints can also read the Analects of Confucius. That is not that the scholars walk around the ground, and there are many doctors like dogs. What a big tone, what is the use of this for us?"

Zhou Xu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it's not time to do anything, so I will write the Analects of Confucius again immediately."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said, "There's no need."

At that moment, Li Chongjiu asked someone to go to the inner room to pick up a series of books such as the Analects of Confucius and Thousand Characters, and put them on the ground. Zhou Xu was surprised to see the books he copied by hand. He has always been poor since he was a child. He went to a county school and was sponsored by his clansmen. He had no books at home, so he had to borrow them from his teacher in the county school. Such a dozen books could only be found in the entire county school.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Zhou Xu was so grateful that he had not read so many books.

Li Chongjiu said: "These books were brought from the south by the caravan this time, and there are also pens, ink, paper and inkstones. In the future, students do not need to use willow branches to draw sand tables to learn calligraphy, just write them on paper."

After hearing this, Zhou Xu couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, I will teach these students well."
