Chapter 242: The prevalence of pirated books
Lin Yanniang sent five or six children to her family.
These five or six house-born children were picked out because they were smart and sensible.
There were about ten children from both sides who attended the literacy class together. Within half a month, Su Mei, who was the teacher of these children, praised them a lot to Aunt Su.
"It's much easier to teach than when I was in Sujiazhuang!"
Aunt Su nodded and smiled, "It's not surprising. The children in the village can go if they want to, and these children were specially selected, so it's not surprising that they are smarter."
"Besides, the children before them were from small villages after all, and their horizons and experience cannot be compared with those in the capital."
In modern times, even children in remote areas can find educational resources on the Internet, but even so, there is still a big difference between them and children in the city.
In this world, transportation is inconvenient and information is not smooth. Even children who grow up in the Beijing Charity Home can get much more information than the children in Sujiazhuang.
“Since these kids learn faster, give them more lessons.”
Anyway, Sumei is familiar with the teaching materials and lesson plans for the three stages of the literacy class, so she just needs to speed up the progress.
Aunt Su’s purpose in running a literacy class in Sujiazhuang before was to promote illiteracy.
The purpose of running literacy classes nowadays is to cultivate useful talents for the family as quickly as possible.
No matter how smart a house-born son or a servant is, it is impossible for him to take the imperial examination.
Naturally, we can only train technical talents.
Therefore, this literacy class is just to lay the foundation. Within half a year, these children can be divided into different specialties based on their performance and specialties.
Nowadays, the servants around Old Madam Su and Lin Yanniang are capable of such common skills as needlework, cooking, accounting, farming, and driving a cart.
However, the dilapidated baronial mansions in small places lack the cultural foundation, and they do not have any high-end talents, such as those in medicine, health preservation, child-rearing, martial arts, embroidery, carpentry, and goldsmithing.
Aunt Su dictated the training plan and asked Lin Yanniang to write it down by hand. As she kept writing, Lin Yanniang couldn't help herself.
"Mother, this medical skill is really good. With such a skilled medical practitioner, we no longer have to worry about being plotted against. Once we have selected a suitable medical practitioner, we can spend some money to send him to the clinic to learn."
"But where can I learn about health care?"
From what my mother said, there is really a lot involved in health care.
Things like medicated food, massage, beauty, hair care, and body care are of course very useful. Regardless of age, who doesn't want to be healthy, energetic, and good-looking?
Not to mention training servants, she also wants to learn from him!
If there really is such an all-round talent, let alone her, I'm afraid even the top dignitaries, such as concubines and princesses, would be scrambling to get him!
Aunt Su smiled slightly, "Isn't there still a fairy shadow?"
Thanks to the information age, anything you want to learn can be found online.
The small knowledge videos that seem commonplace to modern people were considered secrets in ancient times.
Like Su Heiya, who keeps clamoring to follow fitness bloggers to exercise and beauty bloggers to do beauty treatments, but doesn’t she just collect the posts and never actually read them?
Wouldn’t it be better to let the talented students learn now?
Lin Yanniang's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Mother, then, can I also learn from you?"
Aunt Su smiled and said, "Of course you can. When the class starts, just go and see which one you want to learn."
"But you're busy all day, I'm afraid you won't be able to stick with it."
Lin Yanniang is the mistress of the third branch of the He family. No matter how hands-off she is, she still has a lot of chores to take care of. Plus, she has two school-age children, helps with external reception at the Su residence, and maintains a close relationship with the fifth princess... For someone like Lin Yanniang, there is really too little time to concentrate on studying.
Unless Lin Yanniang is a master of time management, which is obviously not the case.
Lin Yanniang naturally understood, but it was also great to be able to use this as an excuse to see the fairy shadow a few more times.
Before Lin Yanniang could even start the class, she waited for He Shan and He Hu to come back with books.
"Grandma, mother, many of my classmates in school now have this kind of book."
"Isn't this our family's book?"
Aunt Su took the books from their hands, flipped through a few pages, and found that they were the handwritten copies of the dozen or so books she had prepared for the Salesian Home some time ago.
Of course, He Shan and He Hu must also have a set of this series of books.
But what they brought this time, although the text content was the same as the original, the pictures on it were obviously imitations.
The books produced by Su's house are all printed using color woodblock printing, so the pictures have normal colors and the patterns are exquisite and detailed.
The pictures in these two pirated books were obviously copied by hand, and the quality varies, and the performance is somewhat unstable.
Was there piracy in ancient times?
Aunt Su was speechless for a moment.
"Where did you get it from, classmates?"
He Shan was a little angry.
"It is said that the two largest bookstores in Beijing have it!"
Obviously, it was only available in my grandmother Su’s house, but now, I can buy one for just two taels of silver!
Aunt Su understood that this money must have leaked out from the orphanage.
There was no concept of copyright in ancient times, so if someone copied something by hand, there was no way to hold them accountable.
Aunt Su felt uncomfortable for a few minutes, but soon felt relieved.
Seriously speaking, these books were not originally written by her.
It can be considered a good deed to spread these simple little pieces of knowledge in this world...
Aunt Su had just thought of this when the system sound suddenly started to sound crazy.
"Happiness value +1"
The same reminder tone sounded at least three hundred times!
Aunt Su understood that the knowledge she spread could also bring happiness points!
Although it is not really high, it is still a small help.
Aunt Su couldn't help but think of the graduation gifts she gave to the three treasures of the Zhu family.
There are seven or eight books in that set.
Thinking of this, she asked He Shan and He Hu if they had seen that set of books.
The two little guys shook their heads and said, "I didn't see that set of books."
Aunt Su understood.
What kind of family background do the Zhu Sanbao have? If they get something good, they would just hide it. How could they pirate it just for a few taels of silver?
