"Lü Lu Tiaoyang."

"Oh, yes, yes, Lu Lu Tiao Yang."

"Your Majesty, your memorization is...a little...unfamiliar..."

"I'll let my eldest brother recite it alone later. If my father is happy, he might tell us a story."

"It's better not to give it up. I can't hide it from my uncle..."

Several children were discussing countermeasures in the courtyard. Liu Bei was a little disappointed at first because the half-baked one was Adou, but his later honesty pleased Liu Bei.

Lan Tian and Gao Shun looked at each other and thought to themselves that Lan Ji, a monkey-like guy, actually acted as a dog-headed strategist for everyone.

Everyone followed Liu Bei into the courtyard. When several children noticed that the adults were coming, they all stood next to Deng Fan.

"Father..."

"uncle..."

"uncle..."

"gentlemen..."

The four children shouted each other, and Liu Bei called Adou to his side: "Father, I heard you reciting the article just now. Now recite it again in front of me."

Liu Chan immediately shook his head and said: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is primitive. The sun and the moon are full, and the stars are arranged. The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvests and the winter hides. The leap years are full of years, and the law Lu regulates the Yang."

"Is that all?" Liu Bei asked.

"Yeah." Liu Chan nodded honestly.

Liu Bei waved to the brothers Lan Yuan and Lan Ji again. He stroked Lan Ji's head and asked, "Ji'er is also carrying one on your back?"

Lan Ji looked at Lan Tian and saw his father's calm expression, and then sang sonorously: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive. The sun and the moon are waxing, and the stars are arranged. The cold comes and the summer comes, the autumn harvests and the winter hides. The leap year is over, and the law Lu adjusts the sun.

.The rising clouds bring rain, the dew condenses into frost. Gold produces beautiful water, and jade comes out of Kungang."

Liu Bei nodded, "Ji'er has a loud voice, pronounces words clearly, and recites them completely. How much can Yuan'er recite?"

"I'm about the same as Adou and the others, so there's no need to show off. If you want to hear the whole story, uncle, let your brother carry it for you..." Lan Yuan scratched his head and then pointed at Deng Fan and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei both looked at Lan Tian and thought to themselves that your son will probably do very little in the future.

"Forget it if you don't memorize it. I will tell you in detail the sentence 'clouds make rain and dew turns into frost' tonight. The best thing is like water. Water will change constantly in the heaven and earth." Lan Tian said happily.

As soon as Lantian finished speaking, several children looked happy.

Liu Bei originally wanted to tell Deng Fan to be stricter, but when he thought about taking Adou back to Jiangling, there was no need.

Liu Wan and Lan Yuan made a baby wedding, and Liu Bei fell in love with this little guy more and more, "Yuan'er, how do you usually play?"

"Playing tops, riding wooden horses, climbing trees, catching ants..." Lan Yuan answered truthfully.

"We still have martial arts training." Lan Ji said.

"We are still setting up a formation to play chess..." Adou also added.

Liu Bei was startled when he heard this. Lu Lingqi is good at martial arts. She is right to teach a few children to practice martial arts, but can these three or four-year-old children play chess?

Lan Tian smiled and explained: "It's a simple chess game. Fan'er goes and shows it to the lord."

"only."

Deng Fan brought out a wooden chessboard from the room. It was the beast-fighting chess that Lantian had made at the carpentry workshop. On the chessboard were squares, rivers, lions, tigers, leopards and other chess pieces, distinguished by negative and positive carvings.

"How is this beast fighting chess... played?" Liu Bei looked puzzled.

Lan Tian chuckled and said, "Ji'er, you guys can play with it and show it to your uncles."

"Oh okay..." Lan Ji immediately asked Adou to play chess.

A Dou was not as good at reciting as the two Lan Ji brothers, but he was good at playing chess with beasts, and they enjoyed the game while everyone watched.

"Interesting... This beast-fighting chess game looks like a formation... Ziyu, how did you come up with the idea?"

Zhuge Liang watched in amazement as he saw that Beast Fighting Chess was simpler than chess and Go, easy to learn and interesting.

Lantian scratched his head and said to himself that this was just a toy from my childhood, and it really had no other meaning.

Liu Bei also nodded and said: "We must consider both offense and defense. We can even use rats to sneak attack elephants. It seems that it can be used for deduction. Ziyu can make more chess pieces. Let's use them on the sand table..."

At this time, A Dou defeated Lan Ji. He said excitedly: "Father, did you see that I defeated Ji Di's three chess pieces? This tiger is so powerful."

"Be good, Adou." Liu Bei encouraged Adou by touching his forehead.

Seeing that Adou was enjoying his stay in Quanling, and thinking that he would take him back to Jiangling soon, Liu Bei suddenly felt melancholy, so he put down his arrogance and played chess with his son.

Zhuge Liang borrowed the "textbook" from Deng Fan and read aloud: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive. The sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arranged..."

The Thousand-Character Classic covers astronomy, geography, nature, society, history and other aspects of knowledge. It was compiled by the Sanqi Shilang of the Liang Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was compiled by Xingsi of Zhou Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The whole text is composed of four-character sentences and neat rhymes. It is a classic Mongolian classic for later generations.

.

Ancient prose has no punctuation marks. It uses modal particles such as Xi, Yan, Zai, etc. to end the sentences, and there are also simple symbols to break sentences.

The way the ancients understood the meaning of the text was to rely on the ability of "discriminating from the classics" that they had mastered since childhood to segment sentences. Because they did not read the sentences, they would have deviations in understanding the meaning of the sentences.

Although sentence reading already existed in the Han Dynasty, it was not widely popularized and applied, and the punctuation marks were not standardized and unified.

Every four characters in the Thousand-Character Classic are distinguished by the symbol ".". Zhuge Liang read it catchily. This simple method of sentence segmentation allowed him to open the door to a new world.

Zhuge Liang walked up to Lan Tian with the thousand-character essay in his hand and said excitedly: "Ziyu, this... was your invention of sentence reading?"

"Uh... I guess..." Lan Tian scratched his head in embarrassment.

"This article is easy to understand but catchy. Ziyu's talent is immeasurable. Scholars all over the world can learn from this article. As for reading this sentence, it is even more eye-catching." Zhuge Liang praised.

Everyone stayed in the backyard for a while. Lan Tian couldn't stand being praised, so he took Liu Bei and others to visit Quanling Academy.

As soon as Lan Tian and Liu Bei left the gate of the prefect's mansion, Lai Gong took the opportunity to ask Zhuge Liang: "Commander, I see that my lord loves General Lan's son very much. Are they related by marriage?"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Ziyu is my lord's brother-in-law, and their children are also engaged."

"This relationship is really solid." Lai Gong was surprised.

"When my lord was in Xuzhou, he took in Ziyu's sworn sister. Ziyu was regarded as a close relative in my lord's heart," Zhuge Liang continued.

Lai Gong was dumbfounded when he heard this. When Liu Qi was still the governor of Lingling, Lan Tian was already related by marriage to Liu Bei. For Liu Bei to have his current status, Lan Tian must be secretly helping him. Thinking of this, Lai Gong's original worries disappeared.

Now that he has such a strong backer, even if Wu Ju and Bu Zhi are linked together, Lai Gong will not be afraid anymore.

Because there is a clear employment direction, all seven subjects of Quanling Academy are now fully enrolled, and thousands of agricultural apprentices and craftsman apprentices can be trained every day.

When Liu Bei came for the second time, he was shocked by the lively scene in front of him, but he still asked with some concern: "I didn't expect that Ziyu would set up this school in such a short period of time. Can the military workshop continue to add people?

"

"Don't worry, Lord, I will control the number of people at any time." Lantian said.

"It's good that you have an idea, but with so many students, can you, the prefect of Lingling, manage them? I think you are usually busy enough, and you have to supervise the children's studies. If you can't, find a Jijiu to help you manage them.

"If you can't find anyone in Lingling, you can go to Jiangling to find someone." Liu Bei suggested.

Lan Tian smiled leisurely, "I have already invited the sacrificial wine, and here he is."

When Liu Bei saw the man coming, he looked impressive and looked a few years younger than Zhuge Liang.

Lan Tian took Jiang Wan's hand and introduced to everyone: "My lord, military advisor, this is Jiang Wan. Jiang Gongyan is a famous talented man from Lingling Xiangxiang."

"Don't dare, don't dare..." Jiang Wan returned the greeting with an arched hand.

After Lantian was awarded the title of General Jingnan, Jiang Wan was recruited by Lantian on the recommendation of the county officials. At that time, the number of students in Quanling Academy was increasing, so Lantian asked him to serve as the priest here. After taking office, he lived up to his reputation and managed this thousand students.

Well organized.

Lan Tian didn't often recommend people. Those who were formally introduced like this were basically talented people, so Liu Bei nodded very politely and said with a smile: "Help General Lan well, and your future will be bright."

"Thank you, lord."

After visiting the school, taking advantage of the break between Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wan to communicate, Liu Bei and Lan Tian came to the former tree again, and then said happily: "I was a little worried at first, but I felt relieved when I saw Jiang Gongyan. Ziyu did what he did.

cautious."

Lan Tian looked at Liu Bei in confusion, "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Liu Bei whispered: "Ziyu was born in a farming family in the first place of Guizhou. In the past few years, he has been working in the fields in Jingnan to support the people. He has made great contributions to the country and the people. However, you should pay more attention to and get close to the local nobles. I have heard that you are close to the first of Guizhou and far away from the nobles. Cao Mengde used to be in

Yanzhou was almost unable to stand up, you should take this as a warning, have you figured it out by re-employing Jiang Gongyan?"

Lan Tian shook his head, "The tyranny of the nobles is a double-edged sword. Brother-in-law, you should use it with caution. It's better not to use it if you can. Don't be afraid of those rumors. Whether it is Huang Hansheng or Jiang Gongyan, I am a meritocracy."

Liu Bei sighed: "How easy is it without the nobles? No matter the imperial court or Jingzhou, it affects all aspects. Jingnan is a relatively quiet place..."

"I have a way to restrict the nobles, but I have to figure it out slowly and use the method of boiling frogs in warm water."

Boiling a frog in warm water? Liu Bei's face was full of doubts.

Lantian continued: "I plan to open a school in Lingling and then gradually spread it to the four counties in Jingnan."

"Running a school? Didn't you run the Quanling Academy?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

"Quanling Academy only has agriculture and craftsmanship. I am also planning to add Confucianism, and I can teach Thousand-Character Classics first." Lantian said confidently.

Liu Bei was shocked: "Ziyu wants to teach ordinary people how to read and learn literature?"
