Before dawn the next day, Li Yue'e got up and put some vegetable boxes on the kang for her husband with an electric baking pan, filled four bottles of boiling water with thermos flasks, and brought her husband a jacket. The food and drink are all necessary for the mountain, old man, you drive slowly. Zhang Guangming nodded, he waved to his wife, and drove away in the electric car.

Zhang Guangming drove to the door of Professor Guo's house, let Professor Guo, Qin Chun and his wife get into the car, and the four mentors and friends went to Taihang Mountain together, preparing to pick Chinese herbs to prevent and treat diseases for the livestock in Zhang Wenjun's large farm. On the way, Qin Chun and his wife looked at Zhang Guangming embarrassedly. Qin Chun said: "The two of us don't know much about Chinese herbal medicine, what can we do?"

When Zhang Guangming wanted to open his mouth to speak, Professor Guo preemptively said, "It's better to wait until you get to Taihang Mountain, and let me explain it to you in detail." One year, the leader of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, he asked me to go to Taihang to cultivate fruit trees, sweet potatoes, and millet...... Research work on seeds. When I got there, I happened to meet an old classmate, who was a TCM expert from Beijing, and he was doing field trips and research there. At night, when the two of us lived in the same room, I asked the famous Professor Sun a lot of knowledge about Chinese herbal medicine, and I learned that there are countless Chinese herbal medicines in our country, which have significant effects on the treatment and prevention of diseases in humans and livestock!"

The people in the car said, "Really, that's great." ”

Along the way, the four of them chatted with great interest. When the couple saw a few big characters carved on the stone in front of them, they exclaimed with a surprised expression: Ah, this mountain is called "Yunmeng Mountain"!

Zhang Guangming began to talk about one story after another, "the first in the world": I will first tell you the story of Yunmeng Mountain, which will be called the first military school. "Wang Chan Ancestor" is talking about Mr. Guigu, who runs a military academy here. His name is Wang Xu, and he was the most famous military strategist and strategist during the Warring States Period. Legend has it that he was "proficient in encyclopedias", had a talent for "penetrating the heavens and the earth", and was a legendary hermit. There are historical records: "Mr. Guigu is a songman, he has more than 500 apprentices, and a few of you must have heard of the heroes who dominate the field and gallop across the country - Zhang Yi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Yu Yi, Su Qin, Mao Sui, etc., are all historical celebrities with high wisdom and profound ...... can win thousands of miles" The couple were dumbfounded. Qin Chun said with a look of surprise on his face: It turns out that these famous military strategists and diplomats in the Warring States Period are actually on Yunmeng here, and they learned the skills from the famous teacher Mr. Guiguzi! The reason why it is said that famous teachers produce high apprentices! Just like our third teacher is a famous teacher. Qin Chun looked at Professor Guo and said. Professor Guo hurriedly and modestly said, "How dare I compare myself with Mr. Guigu?" Compared to him, I am 108,000 miles behind! Qin Chun continued the topic just now and said, although the three of us cannot become famous teachers and high-ranking apprentices who are as well-known throughout the country as they are, we have made a hundredfold effort to solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people, and the problem of manufacturing agricultural machinery is not bad! A joking remark made everyone laugh.

Zhang Guangming said with great interest: If I say that the First Military Academy Yunmengshan is gone, then I have to say that he is called the "first loyal minister" by the world. Have you read the book "Romance of the Gods"?

"I haven't seen it. Both said at the same time, "But I know the story." ”

"Then I'll tell you both the story from the book "Romance of the Gods". Zhang Guangming gushed endlessly, the battle of Muye happened in our area that year. And among them, the famous Bigan, his loyal bones are also buried in this county. Back then, Bigan couldn't get used to the extremely brutal criminal behavior of King Xu's "extravagant and murderous nature". I don't even look down on King Yin Xuan, who doesn't care about the lives of the people, but he lives an absurd life. Many loyal ministers of the court were extremely angry, and the people were even more complaining. But just because of the tyrannical nature of the king, no one dared to admonish him. For the sake of the fate of the country, regardless of his own safety, he carried the common will of the officials and the people of the whole country, and risked his life to go to the court to admonish. Bigan was emotional, and said to the king in a serious voice: "O king, you shouldn't exterminate human nature, cut women and babies, cut off legs and test the marrow, build a wine pool, and live a debaucherous life with that demon girl...... The king will throw the corpse into the wilderness and not bury it. Bigan's fierce loyalty to the country was touched and admired by the common people. So the common people hurriedly got on a big horse, and the horse galloped to the northeast corner of the county, and suddenly the wind was fierce, and the sand flew to cover the corpse. The common people said that it was Bigan's loyalty, which moved the heavens and the earth. Therefore, Ya Bigan will sleep in this Weihui County. In order to commemorate Bigan, the people of this county built a temple called Bigan Temple on his tomb. For more than 3,000 years, the incense in the temple has not been broken. The most touching thing is that the grass growing around Bigan's graveyard has no heart, and the trees have no heart. Let the people of the world admire the miracle of nature's miraculous workmanship! It seems that the spirit of heaven and earth grew together to commemorate this loyal minister!"

The two young men widened their eyes and asked in surprise, "Is it true? There is such a strange thing? "yes, let's go on. It was evident that the couple was very interested in the story. Zhang Guangming continued with great interest, according to legend: at the end of the Yin Shang Dynasty 3,000 years ago, Jiang Ziya tirelessly studied the relationship between ancient and modern military warfare and politics. He was well aware of the evolution of this and had spent many years studying military history. Therefore, Jiang Ziya can be said to be full of economy, and is respected by people as having the ability to "go through the heavens and latitudes". Jiang Ziya has great ambitions, and he is determined to serve the country. When he knew that the king was arrogant and lascivious every day - "building a wine pool, hanging meat forest, repairing a deer platform, and building a beautiful palace". After Jiang Ziya heard all this, he left Shang angrily and came to the shore of Weishui in the Zhou (Western Zhou) to fish with a pure heart. He knew that Ji Chang "loved the people like a son, and worked diligently for the people", so he decided to take refuge in him. One day, Xibohou Jichang came here to hunt and saw Jiang Ziya concentrating on fishing, and the two met, and they became confidants on only one side. So the two of them fell in love with each other. Jiang Ziya talked about the trend of the world, and talked about the policy of governing the country and rejuvenating the country in great detail, Ji Chang had a great sense of admiration for this old man, and he admired this person's high talent and erudition. Jiang Ziya was named a national teacher, and let him be in charge of the country's politics and military. Jiang Ziya later helped Ji Chang's son Ji Fawu Wang to defeat the Emperor and succeeded in one fell swoop. There is also a heroic and tragic folk tale......
