    Soon something happened that catalyzed the development of the literacy movement.

    After receiving the secret letter reported by Wu Zeng, Huang Mingyuan did not speak after reading it, but handed it directly to Li Zixiao.  It turns out that a Turkic spy with a crucial identity escaped under Beidou's nose.

    Beidou personnel have uncovered an important Turkic intelligence network in Fengzhou and found the person in charge of this intelligence network.  The Turks used a Han man to spy on information in Fengzhou, so they repeatedly hid the information from Beidou personnel.

    Wu Zeng decided to take a long-term view temporarily, catch big fish, and uproot the entire Turkic intelligence network through this person. It happened that this Turkic spy was in a settlement camp below Yongfeng.

    These settlement camps were relatively closed. Wu Zeng was afraid that someone would enter the camp and arouse suspicion, so he wrote to Liu Ershan, the commander of the settlement camp at the time, and asked him to supervise the person on his behalf. Wu Zeng then tried to find a way to place spies in the settlement camp.

    Liu Ershan was an old man in the Datong Army, and he was politically trustworthy.

    But what surprised Wu Zeng was that the spy actually climbed over the wall and ran away on the night they wrote to Liu Ershan.

    Wu Zeng’s first reaction was that the intelligence was leaked, and he immediately launched an internal investigation. Finally, after repeated investigations, Liu Ershan was found.

    It turned out that both Liu Ershan and the Beidou personnel who delivered the letter to Liu Ershan were illiterate. Liu Ershan was dumbfounded when he received Wu Zeng's secret letter, so he had to find people in the camp to see what was written in the letter.  It's a pity that most of the people in the settlement camp are old and rough, and there are too few people who can read, let alone read letters.

    Finally, Liu Ershan found a scholar known as a "scholar", and the "scholar" ran away quickly after reading the letter.

    It turns out that the suspect Liu Ershan was asked to monitor in the letter was the "scholar" himself.

    Liu Ershan regretted such a flaw in the case, but he could not change the reality.  Wu Zeng urgently sent people to capture this "scholar", but unfortunately he still ran away.

    This case left everyone stunned.

    Finally, Li Zixiao said: "Even high-status officers like Liu Ershan are illiterate, let alone ordinary people. Many things are more serious than we imagined. The literacy problem is indeed urgent."

    This incident also strengthened Huang Mingyuan's determination. At least the military's literacy is indispensable.

    Amid everyone’s confusion and doubts, Fengzhou’s vigorous literacy campaign officially kicked off in February of the second year of Renshou.

    The pilot units started with the military.

    Order of the Fengzhou Governor's Office: All armies in Fengzhou carry out literacy campaigns, and those who are illiterate are not allowed to be promoted; from the Fengzhou Governor's Office downwards, literacy officers are set up at all levels to be responsible for teaching literacy to each department; below the General Governor's Office, the literacy of each department is assessed step by step  Rate is used to reward the superior and punish the inferior; in military competitions, literacy is used to determine the outcome.

    For soldiers, such strange regulations are simply unheard of. Fortunately, the Fengzhou Army has strict discipline from the beginning. Even if they don't understand it at the beginning, they strictly enforce it.

    Huang Mingyuan also invented Chinese Pinyin and accelerated literacy methods to assist soldiers in literacy.

    Fengzhou, Datong.

    As a cavalry fire chief, Zhao Cheng has been driven crazy by literacy tasks these days.  Zhao Cheng's original name was Zhao Erhu. Later, after he became the fire chief, he felt that he should have a resounding name, so he asked a literate man who traveled around the streets to tell fortunes to give him the name Zhao Cheng.

    "It's a pity that the name has been decided, but Zhao Cheng doesn't know these two words.

    Zhao Cheng’s father died early when he was a child. He was good at farming and fighting, but he never learned to read.  He also envied those literate people very much, but now he felt that he was almost thirty and how could he still have the time and energy to write.

    There are many officers and soldiers like Zhao Cheng, but the General Manager's Office mandates that all generals must be literate.  Anyone who fails to meet literacy requirements as prescribed will be dismissed.

    “But Zhao Cheng can only learn three or five characters a day, and he often forgets that he will never be able to truly read after learning this.

    "Old Zhao, I know twenty more characters, and we are ranked higher than you these days."

    Wei San, an old friend and rival, came to Zhao Cheng and showed off.

    The two of them were in the same team, were from the same hometown, and joined the army together. Although they were close friends in private, they had always been competing with each other.

    "Get out! Get out of here!"

    Seeing that it was time for the big competition at the end of the tenth year, they had been ranked last in the team three times in a row.  He, Zhao Erhu, has been stubborn all his life, when will he become the last one?"Old Zhao, I heard that our Governor Hu has been promoted, and the superiors want to select one person from each group to serve as Deputy Governor Quan. Han Liang from Ding Group is the most promising."

    Zhao Cheng became angry as soon as he heard this.

    "What, Han Liang, that docile and weak guy, why should he be the deputy governor? If he has the ability, let him compete with me, old Zhao."

    "I heard that they are literate, and the whole group is ranked first in every competition. I heard that the brigade is planning to let Han Liang be the literacy officer of our brigade, who will be responsible for teaching everyone how to read."

    Hearing this, Zhao Cheng held his head and stopped talking. Isn’t he just illiterate?  Those who are literate are just show-offs, and they have to compete with each other in terms of real skills.

    "As Wei Er said, this time Han Liang's group won another first place, and the brigade specially appointed Han Liang as the literacy officer; at the same time, Zhao Cheng's group also got the last place.

    Zhao Cheng’s face stretched even longer.

    But the brigade was not prepared to let Zhao Cheng muddle along, so he ordered him to go to the brigade specifically to learn literacy, and the teacher who taught him was none other than Han Liang.

    In fact, Zhao Cheng is quite serious and has long been secretly encouraging him to avenge his previous shame.  But he never knew how to do it, so he immersed himself in studying, getting twice the result with half the effort.

    Han Liang quickly discovered the misunderstanding of Zhao Cheng's learning. The higher authorities had already issued pinyin symbols and quick literacy methods, but Zhao Cheng and others couldn't use them.

    Han Liang asked everyone to put aside learning to write and focus on solving the problem of learning pinyin symbols.  By learning Chinese phonetic notation, people can learn hundreds of new words in a day, greatly improving their efficiency.

    “Zhao Cheng, who can be a grassroots officer, is not really stupid, and his learning ability is relatively strong. He quickly learned thousands of words, and he could barely pass the basic reading and writing.

    At the same time, almost all ministries are experiencing such activities.  Although many people suffer from the difficulty of literacy, the enthusiasm of everyone exceeds Huang Mingyuan's imagination.

    At this time, literacy was still reserved for wealthy people, and many people who wanted to be literate were unable to do so.  The literacy campaign launched in Fengzhou gave everyone a chance to learn literacy. Even those who said they didn't like literacy were secretly working on it.

    By the middle of the year, after more than half a year of literacy campaigns, most of the officers and soldiers of the Fengzhou Army could more or less know some words. Even if they couldn't write, they could still recognize them.

    Soon, statistics from the General Manager’s Office found that everyone’s learning ability had been greatly improved, their mental outlook had also been greatly improved, and the combat effectiveness of the entire Fengzhou Army had also been greatly enhanced.

    Huang Mingyuan saw that the literacy campaign in the military had achieved good results, so he began to prepare to launch a literacy campaign throughout Fengzhou.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
