CHAPTER XVIII

Yang Yingqi set up a classroom in Hanbu Village, and Ah Guda was very happy to see it, and selected dozens of people from the clan to study.

There are no books in the Han Dynasty, but there are still a few people in the Jurchens who are coarse in writing. There is a sage named Wanyan Gushen in the Wanyan Department, and there are more than 100 Han books and more than 200 Khitan books in his house. Yang Kaiyuan borrowed the Han book, but saw that there were not many rare books, only took seven or eight kinds of "Analects", "Mencius", "Book of Rites", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Laozi", etc., the Song people have emphasized "Mencius", "Analects" is a must-read book. Therefore, the argument and Meng Yang Kaiyuan are all backwards. He is also quite familiar with "The Book of Rites", "The Art of War" and "Lao Tzu". With this foundation, he was able to proofread these books. In terms of time arrangement, proofreading in the morning and lectures in the afternoon. Wanyan Gu Shen and a few other Jurchens with some knowledge also helped to teach.

After Yan Aguda asked Di Yu to tell them "The Art of War" and "Taigong Taolu", Yang Yingqi said: "The art of war is a genius learning, and it is useless to read books." Those who know how to use soldiers can use soldiers without reading military books. People who don't know how to use soldiers are useless no matter how many books they read! ”

Zhi Yanchong refuted to his face: "Why is it useless to read? The incompetent can only read it as a nerd when it sees it, but the genius can go one level further after reading it! At that moment, Ah Guta decided that Di Yu, Zhe Yanchong and others would explain the Han art of war to him and the Jurchen leaders such as Mu Han.

Yang Yingqi privately puffed up and said to Zhi Yan: "How can you teach them the art of war?" ”

Orihiko said: "You yourself know how to say, 'The art of war is the study of genius'. If we don't tell them about "Sun Tzu" and "Liutao", don't they really understand? Besides, we have reservations about them, just to protect ourselves, not really bad for them! I think these people are quite upright, and they shouldn't be difficult to get along with. ”

Yang Yingqi was silent.

As the past two months passed, the number of Jurchen people who were coarse and literate increased, and they got along with the Han people more and more harmoniously. Wang Dahui, who had worked as a papermaker, made the first batch of paper, but the quality was average, but the Jurchens were quite happy. Until then, their paper could only be obtained through trade. Yang Yingqi gave a batch of Wanyan people who came to listen to the class, and these people cherished it after they got it. Yang Yingqi saw it in his eyes and said in his heart: "Maybe the eldest brother is right, there are before and after national civilization, but in daily life, everyone is human and loves civilization, nothing different." ”

In the middle of July, Yang Kaiyuan did something that was terrible for Wanyan Bu! That is to help them choose a Chinese name! According to the wishes of each person, as well as the scrutiny of Wanyan Gushen and others, Ah Guda was named "Min", his younger brother Wu Qimai was named "Sheng", the first Wanyan leader Zhu Yanchong and others saw was named "Zong Han", Wu Yashu's eldest son was named Zongxiong, and the sons of A Guda were named Zonggan, Zong Jun, Zong Wang, Zong Bi, etc., all from the character Zong. Wanyan Gushen named himself Wanyan Xiyin.

Translated into Chinese, Moo Ke is about the meaning of the head of a hundred households, and several leaders such as Cao Guangbi are called "Pu Liyan", which means the head of ten households or the head of fifty households. According to the agreement, the three hundred Han tribes were now under the control of the Jurchens, but Ah Guta did not interfere with the internal operations of the Han tribe.

Just when the relationship between the Han Ministry and the Wanyan Department was the best, several Han slaves were sold here, and Zhi Yan took pity on the same kind, took out their belongings, ransomed them, and gave them freedom. These people are reluctant to leave and are willing to join the Hanbu to live together.

Jurchen society was in the post-clan period, and there was already the concept of slaves. Ah Guda heard that Zhi Yan Chong spent money to buy slaves but let them go free, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked the general, Zhi Yan Chong said: "They are of the same clan and blood are connected, how can I want them to become slaves!" I am limited in my ability to say that I can make a good life for all my people, but I hope that they all have a free life to fight for wealth and status. ”

After inquiring, Ah Gu praised: "Well said." In the future, the Han people will belong to you. "This is in the far north, there are very few Han people, and Ah Guda didn't care about it when he said this. Yang Yingqi secretly paid attention to it and recorded it.

At the beginning of August, Wang Dahui made the first batch of glass beads, and Zhang Laoyu's forging room also started. Although they did not build a waterwheel, after burning it into coking coal, the swords they made were half superior to the Jurchens' self-proclaimed Wuchun soldiers. The quantity of good iron was limited, and it was used to make weapons, and the inferior iron was made into agricultural tools, and the Jurchens exchanged horses, cattle and sheep.

Zhou Sheng looked at the batches of farm tools sold and felt distressed: What a good farm tool! But they can only be exchanged for cattle and horses. The Meng Wu'er who came with Xiao Tienu became the captain of the shepherd team, with more than 50 people in his hands, and new cows, horses, pigs and sheep came into his hands every day, which made Zhou Sheng drool. There are only a few Han people under his hands who were redeemed a few days ago, and he doesn't even have a piece of thin land, although he also hangs the false title of "captain", but he wanders every day, and has nothing to do except participate in a little martial arts training. He went to beg Yang Yingqi to fight for a piece of land for planting, but Yang Yingqi said: "The Jurchens promised to share the benefits of mountains, forests and grasslands with us, and our cattle and sheep have to eat a lot of forage every day, which has occupied a lot of space for them to feed." Although they have no complaints now, if we continue to open up the land on a large scale, it will make them uneasy. ”

Zhou Sheng said: "I only need a piece of thin field - such a small piece is good, let me enjoy it." ”

Yang Yingqi thought for a while and said, "Okay, the dozens of acres of wasteland surrounding our village are useless, I can go and talk about it." But what about the wasteland?
