11 HISTORY

Liu Lang opened the door with his face, and Mu Yangling looked at him with a smile, " Cousin Lang,cousin Lun, how old is it, too much attention.""

Liu Lang's face was even blacker,and he taught her, " You are nine years old, Alan is eight years old, and in a few years you will be married.Fortunately, it's just a few of us who know today,and their cousins. What if someone else's family just wants you to marry you?"

Mu Yangling opened his mouth and stammered: "I,I am only nine years old..."

Liu Lang frowned tight, " nine years old is already an adult,the former Liu uncle's black sister married at the age of thirteen.""

Mu Yangling suddenly closed his mouth, 13 years old...

Liu Lun had dressed up and was doing laundry. He saw his cousin and cousin come in, snorted, and went back to the house with his head up.

Xiao Bowen did not know what had happened.He was looking at his cousin and sister who were in awe of his face and did not dare to joke.

Mu Yangling said: "Cousin Lang, uncle said you picked up two books, so I came to see."

"Well, wait, I'll go inside and get it for you.Liu Lang left the man in the yard and turned back to the house.

At a glance, there is no qualification to enter the house.

Liu Lang gave two books with broken skin to Mu Yangling and said, " This was picked up in the garbage basket of a family in the town."

Qili Township does not have a bookstore, they want to buy books to run to the county, and a book is not cheap, and the book represents the inheritance, so this era rarely throw books as garbage, Liu Lang is also the first time to pick up such a baby.

But everyone in their family can read, it is no use to pick it up, it is better to give it to the cousin.

Mu Yangling took two books, and the skin was rotten, and it seemed to be torn bad. She opened it and found it to be the Analects of Confucius. Mu Yangling's eyes suddenly lit up and said happily,"Cousin Lang, this is the Analects of Confucius. Although the first five pages were torn, but the back is complete. It is very good that my brother can read some analects after reading the Three-character Sutra.""

Liu Lang is very envious, because he does not understand what the Analects of Confucius is, he sincerely said: "If it is useful, you take it back and use it, I will look again in the future to see if I can find some more things with words.""

Seeing that he looked at the book in her hand with longing, Mu Yangling said, " Cousin Lang, why don't I teach you to read, to read more words, and to find a place to go out in the future?""

Liu Lang heart, hesitated: "But I can not afford to buy pen and ink ah.""

Mu Yangling raised a smile, " Our family can not afford to buy pen and ink Ah, are painted on the ground with branches, we do not take the imperial examination,recognize some words, can write on the line, do not look good.""

Shu Wan Niang taught her this way, but never allowed small blog to draw with branches on the ground,but asked him to dip his fingers in water to write on the table, is afraid that he is used to holding the branch, after learning to take the pen when inertia, but can not learn the word.

"Then you have to look at the other book what is it?"Liu Lang urged her.

"It is the" Three-character Sutra", this book Lang cousin can keep, we will use the "three-character Sutra" to learn to read."

Liu Langshu breathed, whispered: "Don't tell my parents about this matter, I will go to your home every day to find you, in your home where to learn."Liu Lang hesitated: "Can I take Alan, you also teach my brother.""

"To teach one is to teach, to teach two is also to teach, you rest assured, I will keep a secret.""

Liu Lang's face is only this bloom a big smile.

Mu Yangling is somewhat sad and sad.

But the number of out-of-school children in the huge national base after all accounted for only a small part, but this era is not the same, here, a hundred people out of ninety-nine illiterate, or even more.

Only a very small number of people who have mastered the text, and the entire seven-mile township is full of plans, and only those families can read.

Mu Yangling had followed Mu Shi to the county, she did nothing at that time, ran to the bookstore to turn over most of the day's history books, plus the news on Weekdays, she knew that this is a Song-like era.

The history of the Post-Tang Dynasty is the same as the past, but the chaos of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms after the post-Tang Dynasty has changed. Zhou Taizu Guo Wei was born poor and humbly admonished after his accession to the throne, and he was considered a good emperor. After his death, his adopted son Guo Rong took the throne, which revolutionized politics and developed the economy, but also was a good emperor with great talent and great strategy. Also the Southern and Northern wars unified the country, it is for Zhou Shizong, his son Zhou Gaozong later succeeded to the throne.

So the Northern Song Dynasty, which originally unified the country, was gone,but history turned a corner and returned to its origin.

However, Zhou Gaozong did not like military attachés, fearing that the generals would seize the power of the military, so he reformed politics soon after his accession to the throne, set up a heavy monitoring agency to guard against generals, and even transferred Zhou's policy of foreign affairs to An internal security, most of the domestic troops are used to guard against civil change and mutiny of generals.

Zhou Gaozong said, " I have never seen the barbarian rule of the Yi clan, and every time I destroy the country from the Diao people and generals, therefore, in order to ensure the stability of my great Zhou, I will have to be in the army, prevent the first.""

Therefore, the 800,000 soldiers who had been outside the camp were scattered throughout the camp, but did not expect the party members and the female Jin clan and other ministries to gradually grow, the Great Zhou lost the city and lost ground,and the front continued to move south.

The emperor of the Great Zhou also had to support the civil servants in the future. The generals had been suppressed and scattered, and there was no way, so they had to reuse the family.

Although the Great Zhou did not say that the nine-pin Zhong-zhong system was used to select officials, the imperial examinations had been monopolized by the family, and fewer people were reading and literate in the people's Republic of China.

For example, Mingshui County, the huge Mingshui County has only a small college, and the children who can sit and read in it are rich in money but do not have to study at home. There is only one bookstore in the county. Mu Yangling wants to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone and has to walk nearly two hours to buy it in the county, and the books in the bookstore have only six shelves. Mu Yangling heard his mother say that most of the books are still in the hands of the family.

In the eyes of Mu Yangling, the big Zhou is going backwards.

Linshan Village can have a literate person is a very proud thing, and Shu Wan Niang has always been gentle and supple, so there are children who want to literate come to school she will seriously teach.

At first contact with the outside world, the children's hearts arouse some unrealistic ideas.

Liu Yong, the eldest son of Liu's uncle's family, followed Shu Wanniang for a few days to recognize the word and made a fuss about going to the county school to take the imperial examination.

This is a thunderbolt for the Liu family.

Liu San Uncle family is only barely able to count food and clothing, even the disease is afraid to live, not to mention the reading examination imperial examination?

Although the cost of reading is high, but the return of the test is also rich, so the patriarch went to Shu Wanniang to ask Liu Yong's talent for reading.
