"Man, one stroke and one stroke, this word is very simple... Look at the word "min" and combined with people, that is "people". People, do you know the meaning of this word?"

Li Mengyang pointed to a small blackboard, and the words on it were written by him in stone. He really started teaching, and there were really many people in this class, with as many as 30 or 40.

You should know that there are only more than 160 Chinese workers in the entire mining area. It is good to be able to come so many at once, because reading and writing are not necessary skills.

Modern people like Li Mengyang all know that literacy and reading and writing are necessary. But now, our Chinese workers are still under the rule of the feudal dynasty, and they think that the real necessary skill is survival skills, that is, how to farm and work, which is the most important thing. As for reading and writing... do you want to take the top scorer in the exam?

The feudal dynasty's policy of fooling the people was very powerful. Now there are thirty or forty people, and then they or their elders are bullied, so they will learn this.

Most of them are young children, and there are several children like Xiao Shanzi. But they are all illiterate, so Li Mengyang taught them together.

After Li Mengyang defeated the "sleepy man", the Chinese workers really regarded Li Mengyang as the "foreman". Otherwise, who would have been convinced by just a yellow-haired boy like him?

With prestige, Li Mengyang would not act arrogantly. He had promised Mai Youli to teach him to read and write, but now it is. However, Li Mengyang will naturally take out some of his own personal goods.

As for the location, it is simple. This is not a mining area in the mountains, so we naturally have to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and birds singing and flowers. Yes, it is just an open-air mattress. Find a place to build a small blackboard, and let’s come.

"No one knows, right?" Obviously, it is difficult for a group of illiterate illiterates to give an answer to the word "people", so Li Mengyang's opportunity came, "People, they mean you, you are the people!"

"Oh~"

"Ha ha……"

Although some people make noises, this effect is what Li Mengyang wants.

"You are the people, but you are not the people." Alas, this view was thrown out again, and the students who listened to the lecture were all focused.

Li Mengyang continued, "The reason why you are not the people is because the people have their own rights. You, including the Chinese workers in our mines, have not exercised their rights, or you don't know what rights you have at all, so you are not the people!"

"Li Tou, then you think, why don't we know our rights?" The question was Xiao Shanzi. This kid learned from his father and also called Li Meng and Yang Li Tou.

That’s right, Li Mengyang is now the leader of Huagong.

"This question is actually very simple. In ancient times, a very famous emperor said that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat. The water in this sentence is the people, that is to say, the Qing Dynasty, they were afraid that their ship would capsize!"

"..." Li Mengyang's words made the atmosphere in the classroom weird. Some people found it interesting because they were young and were born in the United States, while others...

"This is a traitor!"

"Tao Li, aren't you afraid of beheading?"

That's right, that's it, that's what the people of the Qing Dynasty thought.

"Hahaha..." Li Mengyang smiled, "I'll say now, can the emperor kill me?"

"Hahaha..." The children led by Xiaoshanzi laughed, and then the others laughed, and they were still very happy...

The truths here are actually so simple that they can't be more superficial. People like Li Mengyang can understand them without any brain cells. However, these truths are completely different in the minds of Chinese workers.

The emperor is the heaven, and whatever they say is what they say, the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, the Great Way of Human Relations, these things are something that Chinese workers cannot disobey. They are educated like this. Maybe they have never read books, but these feudal thinking has been deeply implanted into their brains, and the feudal imperial power has imprinted these things in their bones!

It’s not that Li Mengyang has listed feudal imperial power and feudal ideas as his enemies, but he did not expect that this thing was so powerful that he had underestimated his opponents before.

His lectures are to slowly and subtly awaken the mind of Hua Gong and stop sleeping!

To be honest, when fighting with a sleepy man, Li Mengyang was really heartbroken. He even thought, if he really couldn't beat him, he would die. I quit this revolution. You can be bullied as much as you want.

However, after he won, the enthusiasm and excitement of the Chinese workers made Li Mengyang see that they were not completely numb, they could also be excited. Perhaps it was just because they experienced too many failures and too many constraints that led to their obedience.

No matter what, Li Mengyang cannot stop trying again. He doesn’t want to give up any opportunity. Maybe the result will not be very good, but this is hope, hope!

"Brother Li, I'll listen to your lectures, it's easy to understand and unique, and it really opens my eyes."

Li Mengyang finished his lecture, and at the end he told these young young people, "You have to go home to tell your parents and relatives, and those without parents should tell them to good friends, so that they can help review and remember." Li Mengyang was really scheming, but after that, Yang Guangren came to see him and he complimented him as soon as he came up.

"Give it, get it." Li Mengyang only had two hours of lectures, and there was still some rest time in the middle, and he had never been a teacher, and he was all private goods. This was praised by others, so how could he not blush?

"Brother is too humble..." Yang Guangren was also versatile, but he immediately said, "But I see that Brother Li's words are very strange, and they all seem to be plausible. I don't recognize many words, but some words..."

Needless to say, Li Mengyang certainly understood, because he taught simplified Chinese characters!

Yes, if he doesn’t teach simplified characters, does he teach traditional characters? He must be able to write them too!

So how do you answer this question?

"As for this word, I learned a strange man. I was also very interested in seeing the hunt, but later I learned it and found that after I knew these words, oh, by the way, these words are called simplified Chinese characters, which are very simplified when written, and after learning them, I can recognize the regular characters!"

Alas, don’t say it, Li Mengyang’s explanation is still very accurate. Simplified Chinese characters are indeed simplified traditional characters, but if you know simplified Chinese characters, it is easy to recognize traditional Chinese characters. They are almost always there, but... they just can’t write them.

Afterwards, Li Mengyang talked about the various benefits of simplified Chinese characters, which Yang Guangren was amazed.

However, after a while of chatting, Yang Guangren asked, "In Brother Li's lecture notes, the people's rights are mentioned, but what about the people's power?"

This question is very good, but Li Mengyang noticed that Yang Guangren raised his left hand, as if it was a chest-cuffing action, and at the same time his thumb stood up, this...

Li Mengyang didn't care too much. Maybe it was because he said he was good at teaching, right? He gave a thumbs up.

"The power of our people is extremely powerful. It can be said that a country truly possesses strength is the people, not a god and emperor! The power of our people has always possessed, but some people don't let us know that we have this power..." Li Mengyang is really addicted to lectures.

"Ah, ah, oh, haha, okay..." Yang Guangren listened at first, but later, "Well, I have something to do, I'll ask Brother Li for advice in the future."

"..." Li Mengyang looked at Yang Guangren's back as he walked away... It seemed that he was talking a little deeper?

The next day, the work in the mine was still the same, and Li Mengyang, the foreman of Chinese workers, was still idle. There was no way. He really didn't need to participate in labor anymore. In order to thank him, the Chinese workers did all Li Mengyang's work.

"Let's go! Let's go fishing!"

"good!"

Xiao Shanzi came to play with Li Mengyang. This kid is very close to Li Mengyang now. On the one hand, Li Mengyang lives in Xiao Shanzi's shack. On the other hand, this is also a school. He has a close relationship with the school's teaching staff, so why don't the other students envy it?

It seems that students like to have good relationships with teachers in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

When fishing, you naturally have to go to the nearby River Grand. Li Mengyang knew this river, which is very famous in the United States, because there is a section of the lower reaches of this river that is the dividing line between the United States and Mexico, which is considered a boundary river. Now, Li Mengyang even knows that the big cities in New Mexico are basically established along this river, Santa Fe and Albuquerque, which can be said to be the mother river of New Mexico.

And not only that, this river is now the main transportation channel. Most of the silver ore mined in this mine is water-based, which is convenient and fast.

However, when Li Mengyang saw that Xiao Shanzi was fine, he liked to wash his feet and pee in this river. He never cared about it. They are now in the upstream...

"Hahaha..." The children are carefree and happy.

"It's cold, be careful to catch a cold." Li Mengyang was originally from Northeast China. In his impression, the weather in October should be very cold, but now... is it because of the latitude? This is considered to be the mid-latitude?

"No, the weather here has always been very warm, and it's not very cold in winter." Xiaoshanzi said very well, the weather here is indeed the case.

It is the end of November now, but the weather is still like spring. Indeed, Li Mengyang is worried.

"Hey! MR Eastwood!"

"Hmm? Why are you so free?"

Just as Li Mengyang was enjoying the leisure of fishing, the thin Matthew McConaughey appeared.

"You are living a comfortable life, so don't I be comfortable too?"

"Of course I don't mean that, but you guy isn't here to fish for me, right?"

Obviously, Li Mengyang knew very well that this Irishman would go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. As for the situation at the mine, the Irishman and the Chinese workers were clearly separated. Everyone despised each other and thought that the other was a bastard.

"Haha, I'm very good at fishing. When I was in my hometown, I went fishing if I couldn't eat. Every time I got something, until later..."

"..." Matthew didn't say what happened later, and Li Mengyang didn't ask, because Li Mengyang knew what happened later. He was a history student. Although he didn't specialize in foreign history, the situation in Ireland in the mid-19th century was really famous.

As for the Great Irish famine, the tragic level of this famine is definitely rare in human history. You can see all the evil side of mankind in this history. The more evil you have, the more evil you have, otherwise, the Irish people would not have run to the United States millions.

"Why don't you ask me?" But Matthew found it strange.

Of course, because Matthew naturally didn't know that Li Mengyang was a knowledgeable and talented scholar.

"Why ask?"

"Okay, then I won't go around in circles. I've eavesdropped on your lecture!"

"Um?"

Li Mengyang was particularly surprised when he heard this because it means...

"Yes, I can understand some Chinese."

"..." Li Mengyang's expression was so exciting... (A good activity with pie falling from the sky, a cool phone is waiting for you to get it!
