As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
I was angry and unwilling, but when I thought about what those idiots in the Honglu Temple had done, I felt even more unwilling.
There were even a few princes who could not help but slam the table and curse the people in the Honglu Temple who were taking salaries but messing up their work.
Pei Jiuniang was very happy to see this scene, and then continued, "Very good, you are worthy of being a descendant of the royal family. Next, let me tell you why we have to learn the foreign language.
After all, to learn something, you must know why you learn it.
Maybe you don’t know that we know almost nothing about the Fan language, but the Fan people have been deliberately learning our language. Of course, not only our language, but also our culture. Other things, the most important ones are military tactics and advanced bows, crossbows, firearms, etc.
Although they were defeated, they did not give up and kept studying hard.
Do you think that if they learn from us and apply our knowledge to us, what chances do we have of winning?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent again.
Some people were a little ashamed and asked, "Why should they learn from us?"
"Yes, why? Because they wanted to win and avenge their previous defeat. But after several battles, they also realized their shortcomings, so they made timely adjustments, decided what to do, made up for the shortcomings, maintained their strength, and then counterattacked after accumulating strength. We knew nothing about them.
Think about it, if the barbarians, who are already more valiant than us, have our good weapons and learn our military tactics, what do you think our chances of winning will be?"
In fact, Pei Jiuniang not only guides everyone to think, but more importantly, she makes everyone aware of what happened in the previous life.
Some teachers and even the chief priests were shocked.
But Zhong Rong felt that Pei Jiuniang was exaggerating.
"Master Pei, are you here to teach? Or are you here to destroy the prestige of a great country? What is your intention?"
However, for some reason, when she spoke, no one responded. Instead, they stared at Pei Jiuniang thoughtfully.
Zhong Rong panicked and was about to say something when she heard a prince say, "Master Pei, was what you just said your own guess?"
"I just think there is such a possibility. When you learn the foreign language, you can go to the foreign country to find out what is going on."
Pei Jiuniang continued, "In addition, by learning the Fan language, we can in turn understand the things of the Fan country. As a newly emerging country, the Fan country may not have a long history like ours, and may not be as good as us in many aspects. Many of us even call the Fan country barbarians in private, but there is one thing you have to admit, that is, they are developing very fast, even very fast.
In just a hundred years, they went from a nation that used to eat raw meat and drink blood to a nation that experienced unification, war, and then formed a country. They even dared to challenge our Celestial Empire. Do you think they are really good for nothing? "
Everyone's face was filled with horror.
Zhong Rong became increasingly dissatisfied and shouted, "Master Pei, are you here to teach the foreign language or to flatter the foreign country?"
"Master Zhong, if you don't even know why you're learning, how can you study hard? Or do you think that you don't need to know at all?"
Zhong Rong was stunned for a moment and wanted to speak, but she felt that no matter what she said, it would be wrong. In the end, she glared at Pei Jiuniang and said nothing.
She felt even more that Pei Jiuniang had no idea and was just bluffing.
"I know some people are curious about how I, a lady from a marquisate who has never been to foreign countries, can speak foreign languages. In fact, everyone should know that I have many shops under me, and one of them sells foreign products. Some people say that foreign products are not good. I can tell you that foreign products are really good.
For example, if I bought two sheepskins at the same time, one from a foreign country and the other from our country, in the middle of winter, I would even sweat when wearing a coat made of the foreign sheepskin, but I would shiver when wearing a coat made of our country's sheepskin. I am not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can go and try it.
In addition, many things from foreign countries, such as carpets and spices, are very good. At the same time, many things from here, such as tea and porcelain, are also very popular in foreign countries.
Don’t you think it would be great if we could sell our good things to foreign countries, and then sell their good things to our people in China?
Moreover, we can send many of our people to do business in foreign countries. On the one hand, we can find out what the foreign countries are doing, and on the other hand, we can let our people intermarry with them. When the relationship is inseparable, how can a war be fought?
Besides, do you know why Fanguo likes war? And when do they like to provoke the most? "
As soon as this was said, a legitimate son of a general stood up and said, "I know. My mother always says that my father will go to war as soon as this foreign country suffers a disaster."
"Yes, they usually provoke us during years of disaster. Why? Because they don't have enough to eat. What can they do? They rob us. If they can't rob us, they will find another way."
"They are so abominable. Well, what should we do then?"
Some people couldn't help but worry.
"Yes, what can we do? We can give them food to help them survive the disaster. If they have food, they will not attack us, right?"
"Why should we give it to them?"
Zhong Rong started yelling again.
"Why? Did I say it was free? Didn't I say before that we can trade with each other? If they have money, they can buy it."
Pei Jiuniang said.
Hearing this, Zhong Rong was startled and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
Because she gradually discovered that everyone seemed to think differently from her, but it didn't matter. As long as Pei Jiuniang didn't speak the foreign language, she couldn't get away with it even if she spoke eloquently.
Thinking about it, Zhong Rong said again, "Master Pei, you are teaching foreign language, but half of the time has passed and you haven't taught a single word."
As he said this, he seemed to be gloating.
But strangely, her words did not resonate with everyone.
She was quite unhappy, but still stared at Pei Jiuniang, telling her not to get away with it under her nose.
Pei Jiuniang was not impatient. She took out the copied paper she had brought with her and asked someone to help her hang it up. Then she took the ruler and pointed at the strange words on it while chanting.
"Pei Jiuniang, what are you doing? What do you think of the class?"
Zhong Rong felt that she had found her opportunity, so she stood up and shouted loudly.
“Folk songs are our folk songs.”
The foreigner who had been silent all this time suddenly shouted out, and then looked at Pei Jiuniang with his bright eyes, "Can you sing it again?"
Pei Jiuniang nodded and started singing again. While singing, she led everyone to sing along. After singing once, she explained the meaning of each sentence to everyone.
"When you first learn the Fan language, it must be as difficult as learning to speak it to a newborn baby, or even more difficult. So I think we should first learn the folk songs of the Fan country. These folk songs are so popular that even three-year-old children in Fan country can sing them. As you sing, remember the meaning of each sentence. After a while, you will have a general understanding of the Fan language.
In fact, the foreign language is very simple. Its sophistication and civilization are far inferior to our Celestial language. If they can learn it, I believe you can too."
Hearing this, everyone present nodded.
By the time Pei Jiuniang had guided everyone to learn the aboriginal folk song, the class was coming to an end.
Zhong Rong didn't remember what she taught at all, she was just waiting to catch the other party's mistake.
"Jijiu, don't think she can get away with it by just singing a song."
The chief priest, who was still immersed in the singing and foreign language, was so angry when he heard Zhong Rong was making trouble again that he could not bear it anymore. He simply ended it and said directly, "Master Zhong, you interrupt Master Pei's class again and again. What do you want to do?"
"Master, I, I just want to say that she is totally unworthy of her position and is misleading the students. She is clearly trying to get away with it."
Zhong Rong's heart was beating fast. It was the first time she saw this young teacher get angry. Although she was a little worried, she couldn't help herself.
"You are not worthy of your position and you are misleading the students. Is that right?"
Cui Jijiu glanced at the students who were still singing folk songs and discussing with each other, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhong Rong.
Zhong Rong was also confused. How could this happen? Pei Jiuniang was just singing a song.
"Can…"
Zhong Rong was about to say something, but no one spoke.
Someone raised his hand and asked Pei Jiuniang, "Master Pei, does this mean..."
After hearing Pei Jiuniang's explanation, the man nodded excitedly, "It turns out that the foreign language is not difficult at all. Master Pei, can you turn the foreign language lessons into chanting in the future? This way, I think it will be much easier to learn."
"Yeah, I originally thought it was just bird language, but now it seems not difficult at all."
“In fact, it is not difficult as long as you master the trick. It is not realistic to use chanting in every class, but I will try my best to let everyone learn while having fun. After all, it is important to combine education with entertainment.” Zhong Rong was completely dumbfounded when she saw this scene.
Cui Jijiu nodded to Pei Jiuniang with satisfaction, then turned to look at Zhong Rong, who had a gloomy face, "Master Zhong, you have excluded Master Pei again and again. Is it for fairness or do you have an old grudge against Master Pei?"
"How is it possible for me? Jiu Niang and I are close friends. How is it possible? Right, Jiu Niang?"
As Zhong Rong spoke, she looked at Pei Jiuniang for help.
After all, if she admitted it, she would lose her virtue as a teacher.
"Close friend? Is that true?"
Pei Jiuniang shrugged. She would not repay evil with kindness.
"Pei Jiuniang, you?!"
Zhong Rong was so angry that she wanted to gouge Pei Jiuniang out with her eyes.
The teacher and students saw her like this, and when she realized what was happening, she felt ashamed.
