I do research in ancient times

"thing?"

Old Taoist Sanshui gave a dry laugh.

"what?"

"That... that!"

The young man wiped the sweat from his brow.

"You can count it back. This month, people have come to inquire about the sequel of "Crossing Three Levels". When do you think you will give me the following part?"

He was full of hope when he asked, but only got a resolute shake of the head from the old Taoist.

"No, the ones behind are gone."

The old man raised his chest and swung his sleeve in Ning Juzi's direction.

"I'm busy with important matters with Mr. Ning, so I don't have time to write these pastimes, don't bother me."

When the young boy heard the name "Mr. Ning", he immediately looked desperate.

Although he is not from Mo Zong, the name of Mo Zong Juzi is like a thunderbolt in the frontier army, and he has surpassed the weight of this Sanshui veteran early in the morning.

The kang, cement, mo knife and even the invincible rifled gun are all from the handwriting of Mr. Ning.Ever since Mo Zong formed an alliance with the frontier army, everyone's life has become better day by day.With armor on his body, a knife in his hand, and a cannon behind him, there is no longer a lack of food and grass supplies, and his livelihood can also be secured after being disabled. I heard that there is a medical center that can treat injuries in Jiuling City. luck? !Mister Ning and Mo Zong were not the ones who recruited them!

Young people also came from the side of the army, and they have long admired Mr. Ning's name.As a result, when I saw the real person today, he was a pure and elegant young man, who looked younger than himself, so he was really unbelievable!

Sanshui Taoist said that he followed Mr. Ning to study, and he didn't dare to ask a word, for fear of being suspected of inquiring about secrets.

But... he was not reconciled to go back in such a despondent way.

There are not many people in the frontier army who can read and write. In addition to the victory of the war, "Ding'an News" is now soliciting content from Mozong's major workshops. Word.

"Crossing Three Levels" is too special.It is like a story passed down by the old people in the family. It reads very smoothly, even if you are illiterate, there is no possibility that you will not understand it.

The young man was the first batch of students in the literacy class of the frontier army. He could read, write and choose materials, but he couldn't do something like "Crossing Three Passes".

He still wanted to say something, but he was afraid that he would delay Mr. Ning's "big event", so he could only hang his head down and prepare to lose like a bereaved dog.

"and many more."

Ning Fei suddenly stopped him.

The young man stood still and looked back blankly.

"Ning...Mr. Ning...Is there anything else?"

"Really."

Ning Shaozi stroked his chin, and suddenly thought of a good idea to eliminate illiteracy.

"You said he wrote that story well, didn't you?"

The young man didn't know why, so he nodded obediently.

"Yes, everyone is waiting for "Crossing Three Passes". Every time the newspaper is published, they come to ask, but the Taoist priest just refuses to submit the manuscript."

He didn't dare to ask if he didn't pay.Taoist Sanshui is a close confidant of Young Master Feng, and the people who usually deal with him are General Bingwei.If it weren't for everyone's pressing questions too closely, a small person like him would not dare to bother him easily.

"Why don't you pay?"

Ning Fei asked the old Taoist again, but the old Taoist was also a bachelor, spreading his hands.

"I'm old, my mind is confused, I don't know what to write."

"That's it."

Ning saw that he touched his chin.

"I'll give you an outline, and you can refer to it and write down. Is that okay?"

"I just have one request, try to write as easy as possible, don't use too obscure words and sentences, don't use uncommon words, vernacular is the best, and it's easy for everyone to learn."

"study?"

This time, it was the two of them staring wide-eyed together.

"Learn what? Do you want the Taoist priest to open the school?"

the young man asked curiously.

"No."

Ning Fei shook her head, and pointed at the group of people who were listening to the story just now.

"Let those who read newspapers teach, and those who listen to newspapers learn. Interest is the best teacher."

"When the newspaper comes out, a special place will be set up in the city to tell everyone storytelling, and by the way, teach everyone to read and write, killing two birds with one stone."

Ning Zaozi did what he said, and returned to his small courtyard in Jiuling City that night, and began to work on the outline.

How can he write an outline for a man of science and technology, but he just silently wrote a part of the story he remembered, and then wrote the original author's name, and handed it to Sanshui Laodao the next day.

He didn't take this matter to heart, and turned around to arrange the planting of rubber trees and the trial manufacture of steam engines, and he was very busy every day.

Knowing that one morning, Ning Zazi, who was yawning profusely, went out to look for food.As soon as the door opened, he felt a person squatting at the door, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

"Who!?"

"It's me, Mr. Ning."

A slightly familiar voice sounded weakly, and Ning Zazi took a closer look and found that it was the editor of "Ding'an Daily" that he met in the city that day.

"What are you doing blocking my door so early in the morning?"

Ning Fei lowered his head and saw that the boy's bun was covered with dew, and he didn't know how long he had been squatting.

"Mr. Ning..." The young man swallowed.

"After... the back..."

Back?

Ning Fei frowned.

"What's behind?"

"So... the story, the following story, the Taoist priest said he wanted to read..."

Young people are cautious.

"Has Zhang Xiaocheng practiced spiral strength? Has the coldness in his body been melted away? Did the evil cook catch him?"

He wants to see it too.

Woohoo, since I got the outline given by Mr. Ning, I no longer worry about the Taoist being lazy. He writes more actively than anyone else, almost writing like flying, even if "Ding'an Daily" publishes it every day, I don't worry about it!

The worry was that it was so beautiful that he was reluctant to let go of it, but the content on the outline was about to bottom out.

"Mr. Ning, can you give me some more in the latter part? The Taoist priest said he would write as much as you want. You see..."

Director Sanshui and Mr. Ning are both strange people, he can't afford to mess with either of them!

Ning Zaozi: ...So I dug a hole for myself and was urged to change it on the spot?

"no……"

Ning Saw pressed his eyebrows.

"The plot is not so fast, do you see where the Taoist priest wrote?"

"The Daoist has finished writing."

The young man whispered.

"The Taoist priest finished writing yesterday, and he also wanted to read the rest, but he couldn't let go of his face, so he urged me to ask for the outline later, so as not to delay the major event of popularization and enlightenment."

Ning Shaozi: ...he is just a human being!

"and also……"

The young man rubbed his hands.

"Mr. Ning, which Zongfang is the author of the article?"

"Can you let me get in touch with him, his story is so interesting! We want to ask him to contribute to the newspaper..."

Recently, "Ding'an Daily" is so popular that it is about to explode!

The wicked Shanye Sanren announced that "Crossing Three Passes" would be discontinued, and he re-wrote a new story, which was still published in "Ding'an Baoshang".

As soon as the news came out, there was a lot of scolding on the street.

Everyone is a die-hard fan of "Crossing Three Passes". After finally waiting for the news of Shanye Sanren, they finally heard the sad news that the serialization has been stopped. How embarrassing are they for this? !

There is nowhere to vent his anger, except to scold the wicked Sanren, he can only vent his anger on his new love.What kind of mountain boy travels around the world? If a mountain boy has no money and no contacts, it is most suitable to farm in the village. What is it?What nonsense!

A few were so angry that they simply called on everyone not to read the new story.However, there is only one copy of "Ding'an Daily" in the whole world, and the only story in the whole newspaper has become a habit, and the residents of the border towns who use it as entertainment may resist reading it? !

Soon, there were large-scale "True Fragrance" scenes everywhere.

With a good core and sophisticated and fluent writing style, the first issue firmly grasped the hearts of all readers. After a day, everyone who read it was still full of interest, and no one mentioned the half-cut "Crossing Three Levels" again.

It's just that in view of the bad past of Shanye Sanren, everyone is very disturbed, and they don't know when it will be published next time.According to the progress of "Crossing Three Levels", it is normal to wait for half a month to get the bottom line, and to wait for one month.

Unexpectedly, a new issue of "Ding'an Daily" was released a few days later, and the newspaper vendors all over the street shouted, "The new issue of "The Legend of Dongshan Heroes" is out!"

ah? !Out? !

Everyone was surprised.

How could it be so fast! ?

I was skeptical, but buying "Ding'an Daily" has become a habit, and I must buy it if I buy it.

When taking out the money, the newspaper seller even gave a special reminder.

"At the moment of today's application, there is a platform for lectures in the university room in the city. If you have nothing to do, you can go and have a look."

nothing?Of course nothing happened!

All the major workshops in Shenshi are off work, and it is also dinner time around, so I will go to the dining room later to see what the report table is. !

So less than a quarter of the time, the courtyard of the university building in the city was already full of people.Ning Fei didn't expect so many people to come, so he could only switch the originally planned indoor class to an outdoor class, and temporarily set up a platform in the yard.

The lecturer was the young man from the newspaper office who urged Ning Fei to renew. He is really a little-known little guy, with a humble appearance. Many people in the city don’t know him. The book is also stuttering, and the voice is not very loud.

This will not work.

Ning Saw shook his head.

He thought for a while, then turned back to the university room, took out a piece of wood and wiped it out, and handed it to the young man on the stage.

"Use this, take a shot, and be brave."

he suggested.

Most of the people below recognized Mo Zong Juzi, and when they saw him coming up, they immediately fell silent, waiting eagerly for him to speak.

Ning Fei didn't say anything, but just gestured to the young people on the stage with his eyes.

The reason why he was chosen to speak on stage is that, as an editor, he sees more chapters than ordinary readers, and he has a clearer understanding of the characters and the direction of the outline.On the other hand, Ning Fei also took a liking to this kid's extreme love for stories.

The guy who can squat in front of other people's house all night to update, the guy who can chat with the author and analyze the plot from morning to night, the guy who can talk about a certain character with joy and talk like a demon, how can he be stingy? How about sharing the emotion in your chest?Of course there is no one more suitable than him!

The young man took the eraser, held it in his hand for a while, and then imitated the teacher in the school, and patted it with a "snap".

This sound was very loud, almost like thunder on the ground, and it actually gave him a lot of courage.

He regained his composure, put down the newspaper that had been cluttered with waste paper in his hands, and began to tell the story he knew by heart.

Some things, once started, can never stop.

The eyes of the young people on the stage were shining brightly, and everyone in the audience was fascinated by it.The young man's voice was cadenced, matched with just the right body language, it was as real as what he saw with his own eyes.

Not to mention the magical blackboard eraser, which is simply a powerful prop for lectures. It is always shot loudly at the most exciting and tense moments, making everyone's hearts tremble and their minds go blank.

Of course, it's not completely blank.

According to Ning Zaozi's request, some simple text explanations were appropriately inserted when lecturing, starting with the most basic mountains, rivers, thunder, and rain, and written on the black wooden board behind him in line with the direction of the plot, which was particularly impressive.

After one page of the book, all the spectators felt that there was still more to say, and their hearts were itchy like a cat scratching a dog, and they were particularly impressed by the big words on the blackboard.

I couldn't sleep at night, so I thought about the plot over and over again, even remembering the words on the blackboard firmly.

This is more efficient than Shang Yekelai. As soon as you talk about "The Legend of Dongshan Heroes", you can think of the words mentioned in the corresponding plot, and you will know a lot of them after going back and forth.

With the foundation, the ambitions of the spectators are also growing.A person who was originally content to just listen to a story read, now dares to take a newspaper and read it by himself.This reading is not completely incomprehensible, it is a big surprise to be able to get a general idea by swallowing it!

Seeing that the effect exceeded expectations, Ning Fei extended this method to the entire border town.

Nowadays, the residents of the border towns are used to listening to a piece of "The Legend of the Eastern Mountain Heroes" after work. They dare not say it in other places. At least the literacy situation in the border towns has been greatly improved, and many people have also developed an interest in learning because of this.

Whenever later generations talk about this period of time, they will call it the enlightenment period of knowledge.

After the border towns, many great scholars and great scientists emerged. In fact, they all received basic enlightenment at this time. Starting from a secular novel "The Legend of Dongshan Heroes", a splendid cultural era opened.

It's just that at this time, no one can think of it that far.

This epoch-making "The Legend of Dongshan Heroes", because enough words have been accumulated, the first single-line literacy reader has been printed and will be published soon!
