The family is coming out! Several more clever officials and servants immediately ran over and took the reins in their hands.
"Take off the saddle and feed it well! Give it a bath! "Montenegro commanded.
"The third brother is tall and strong again! If you meet them on the street, I'm afraid my mother won't recognize them! The eldest brother joked and took the two bags of things from Montenegro's hand. What's in this bag, and why is it so heavy? ”
"Just take it in and see!" Seeing that his mother was coming, Montenegro hurriedly stepped forward to hold his mother's hand, "Grandma, Montenegro is back!" ”
"It's high! It's strong! The mother touched Montenegro's face, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Grandma, your complexion is much better! I'm much younger and more beautiful than before! "Montenegro praised his mother!
When the villagers heard that Montenegro was back, they came to congratulate them! Montenegro took the opportunity to entertain for a while, took out Chen Bobei's gifts, and distributed them to everyone. took his second brother Ming around his new home.
"Originally, there were only nine acres of land here, just enough to build a two-entry house, but now it has increased to thirty-six acres, and the number of servants has also increased to thirty, and the two-entry is not enough to live! You can build a three-entry first to almost enough! The second brother Ming introduced.
"Let's build three in! Thirdly, when I entered the family, I only had to leave one room and build a row of independent courtyards here on the west side. Each courtyard should have one hall and two bedrooms. Build 10 first. Rebuild the old house and build a seowon! Go back and invite a gentleman to sit in the museum, and the children in the village should have a place to go to school! Montenegro said.
In the evening, Montenegro called all the family and thirty servants, and when they were counted, there were twelve women and eighteen men, all of whom were under thirty-five years of age. Apparently a specially selected official servant from the county.
"I don't care why you are an official servant, but if you enter my house, I will treat you as a family in the future. If you are willing to plant crops, a man will give half of the land to my family, and the remaining 60% will be your own! During the slack season, priority is given to helping in the pottery kiln, and the salary is the same as that of the people in the village. If there is one of you who loves each other, let you marry and give you a thousand dollars to settle down! I'll build a row of detached houses on the west side for you to settle in. Female servants, each of whom is paid 200 yuan a month. After Montenegro finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and it took a long time to react, and they knelt down and kowtowed to thank them, this treatment is better than that of the village villagers.
"Do any of you read and read?" Montenegro asked.
"Third young master, the villain's name is Liu Cheng, and he has read books! used to be a housekeeper for two years, but because the previous master broke the law, he was sat down as an official servant. A man in his thirties, a little thin, and a fairly neat look, replied.
"Liu Cheng, from now on, you should be the fake housekeeper of the Zuo Shu Governor's Mansion first! Well done, 400 yuan a month. If I can't do it well, I can only ask for another master. Take them down first! Montenegro said dryly.
"Thank you, Third Young Master, the villain will never give up!" After Liu Cheng finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to thank him!
"Our family used to be a domestic cultivator, so we didn't have so many courtesies! From now on, everyone will treat each other with equal courtesy, and they are not allowed to kneel again! Did you hear that? Montenegro commanded.
"Thank you, Third Young Master!" The servants thanked each other in unison.
Seeing that the outsiders had gone out, my mother took Montenegro by the hand and said, "O Montenegro! After the New Year, you will also be seventeen! Our family is now considered a medium-sized family! Go home this time, marry a daughter-in-law first, it's best to have a baby, and Mom will bring it to you! ”
When Montenegro heard this, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out. said: "Mom, you should worry about the second brother's daughter-in-law first!" You touch my chin, and I don't have a beard. I'm not well developed yet! Let's talk about it in two years! This bag is for you, you see, you must be happy! With that, Montenegro handed his mother a heavy bag of gold.
"What, why is it so heavy?" The mother muttered, opened the bag, and suddenly the glittering golden light reflected on her face, "Gold? Why so much gold? The mother looked surprised and asked, "You can't rob it somewhere, do you?" ”
"Grandma! Just put a hundred hearts! These gold are all rewarded by King Qin, and I am the chief of Zuo Shu! If you want to be an official, you can already be an official as big as a county order! If you don't believe it, ask the second brother, he must know, don't lie to you! Montenegro explained.
"What about being an official? I still want to marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby! There was no money before, there was no way! Now that you have money, you have to marry your daughter-in-law early and have a baby early! Mother said angrily.
"Grandma, you worry about the second brother first, I will lead the troops north to fight the Huns in a few days! When I come back after a few more meritorious deeds, and marry a princess back to be your daughter-in-law, what do you think? When the time comes, everyone will definitely be envious. Montenegro comforted his mother.
"To fight the Huns? What are you going to do to fight the Huns? We're not going, can we? Mother persuaded worriedly.
"I'm going to be a thousand horsemen soon! There are more than 1,000 brothers under his command! You can rest assured! I don't need to do it at all! "Montenegro can only comfort his mother like this.
"After the house is repaired, the second child is about to get married, can you wait for the second child to get married before leaving?" Mother asked.
"I'll leave on August 30, second brother, you can do it! Whose girl did you marry? Montenegro asked.
"The eldest daughter of the chief engineer of our county workshop. Prepare to get married after the beginning of the year! Second Brother Ming said.
Montenegro is like this, and the parents listen to the family's nagging until midnight before resting.
The next day, Montenegro got up early in the morning and came to the pottery kiln with his eldest brother. Because everyone was busy with the autumn harvest, the whole cellar was empty. Everywhere there are piles of fired pottery. "Chimneys are no longer easy to sell, the near ones have been used, and the freight is expensive in the farther places, so I don't count them. However, these glazed clay pots and pots are selling well. It is both beautiful and functional. Big Brother Guang said.
"Big brother, you can have people find more colors of soil to try in the future. Some of the soil is red but it is black, and some of the black soil is green when it is burned. I'll teach you how to make a few sets of tea sets to try. Montenegro gave a detailed introduction to the tea set shape of the later generations to the eldest brother, and said: "Such things are made, and the things are transported to various places, and the price can be sold high!" ”
"Third Young Master, there are many guests coming to you and waiting at home!" A servant came to report the news.
"Got it, I'll be called Zuo Shu Chang in the future, did you hear that?" Montenegro explained.
"Got it, Third Young Master!" When the servant saw that Black Mountain's face sank, he immediately changed his words, "Got it, Zuo Shuchang!" ”
When Montenegro returned home, he saw that it was the three elders of the township and the newly appointed You Bizhong!
"A few parents are here! Disrespectful, disrespectful! Although Montenegro didn't like the polite words, he could only politely pat Zhong's shoulder and say, "Pavilion Chief Zhong, you have ascended, congratulations!" ”
"Zuo Shuchang, I'm back, I'll make a special trip to meet you, how dare you ask Zuo Shu to greet you?" The three elders of the township and Zhong Shili said.
"Take a seat, serve tea!" Montenegro asked four people to make it on a bench next to the tea table. The tea table and chair of the Montenegrin family were made by Montenegro before the second brother Ming according to the style of later generations, sitting directly on the chair, unlike in this era, they all sit on the ground and kneel.
Everyone exclaimed: "The tea cases of Zuo Shuchang's family are all different!" Wonderful! It's just that we are different from the Zuo Shu Chief, how dare we sit back in the same case? ”
"No defense, the beauty of this table is that everyone treats each other equally, and there is no need to be formal!" Montenegro said.
"I'm waiting to come to the door today, first, I want to hear what Chief Zuo has to say, I'll do it; The second is that I heard that you will take the Nanyang cavalry to the north to go to the county, and there are twelve children in Hongxiang who happen to be on the list of going north, do you notify them to listen to what instructions the chief Zuo has! "The intention of the three elders is obvious, that is, they want Montenegro to take care of the children of the township party.
"How can I not know the good intentions of the three! It's the autumn harvest and the farming is busy, don't let them come! Let them remember to report on time and not violate military law! I have my own arrangements. These more than a dozen children of the township party went north to the bitter cold land to defend the country, and you must help them take care of their wives and children at home, which is the greatest support for us! Thank you very much to Montenegro! With that, Montenegro stood up and bowed deeply to the four!
The four of them hurriedly returned the salute! He said, "We will follow the teachings of Elder Zuo!" ”
You Yizhong took out a piece of wood, handed it to Montenegro, and said: The above twelve are the township party who was selected to go north with you, please take a look at it. ”
"This Zhang Jin is the son of Zhang Yixing in our village?" Black Mountain took the wooden slip, saw the name of a person from his own village and asked You Yizhong.
"It is Zhang Jin of your village owner, who used to be a Korean cavalryman in Xinzheng, South Korea. South Korea surrendered last month, and he was also incorporated into the army, and he was also listed in this call-up, if he could make contributions with Zuo Shuchang, it would also be his creation! Do you want to see him? Zhong replied.
"No need! I haven't received an appointment yet, so maybe there's something to change yet! Montenegro suddenly remembered that he had not yet received an appointment, how would they know?
Feasting and drinking for no reason is also not good among the officials of the Qin State. When King Qin Zhaoxiang had his birthday, many officials and people went to congratulate the king on his birthday, but all of them were questioned. So it was with the king, let alone the officials. So Montenegro may also leave them to eat and drink, and a few just chatted for a while, and then went back to supervise the autumn harvest!
Time flies, and Montenegro discusses with the eldest brother how to burn pottery every day, and makes some new things with the second brother. Find out how many boys and girls are there in this village? What a college to build! Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang also became good friends, playing around with the butts of the two little nieces all day long. It's the end of the month in the blink of an eye.
As soon as it was dawn on August 30, Montenegro said goodbye to his mother and two brothers, looking at his mother's crying red eyes, Montenegro couldn't hold back his tears and didn't let the tears fall! He himself doesn't know when he will be able to return to this warm little home after leaving home and going north this time.
The dark clouds and snow are now very delicate, and an hour later, they came to the Kaimeng Academy in Tongbai County.
"Young master, you're back! The head of the house, he's going crazy! Go check it out! Uncle Chen welcomed Montenegro into the door and said.
"What's going on?" Montenegro asked anxiously!
"In the past few days, he has broken all the buckets, pots, and scoops at home, and let us buy a lot of them and come back and break them!" Uncle Chen replied!
"Isn't it all about drilling a hole in the bottom to see the leakage?" Montenegro asked, relieved!
"Exactly, young master, how do you know?" Uncle Chen asked suspiciously.
"It's okay, the teacher is normal, because I've done this before, isn't it okay now?" Montenegro replied.
"It's okay, I thought he was crazy, and I'm thinking about finding a doctor for her in the next two days!" Uncle Chen was relieved when he heard it!
"The student is about to go north to the border, and I have come to bid farewell to the teacher today!" Montenegro came to the study and bowed deeply to the teacher.
"Montenegro, sit down and talk!" Meng Zhao said: "Everyone has their own ambitions! You have your way to go. Did you find the answer to the question you said that day? Can you tell me? ”
"That's a long story, so I'll discuss my thoughts with you!. I don't think the earth is square, and the earth is a sphere like the moon and the sun. I call the earth the earth. The moon revolves around the earth, the earth revolves around the sun, and at the same time, the earth itself revolves in circles. The earth rotates around the earth for exactly one day, and the moon revolves around the earth for one month. That earth revolves around the sun for exactly one year! I also calculated that it would take three hundred and sixty-five days, three hours, and two-thirds of a quarter for the earth to revolve around the sun, based on the changes in the seasons of the year and the position of the sun. When the earth revolves around the sun, it does not follow a straight line, but has a certain amount of ups and downs, I call the middle line the equator, when this float floats to the nearest north of us, this day is the summer solstice, photo 1 is the southernmost time, this day is the winter solstice, when the sun reaches the equator twice, they are the spring equinox and the autumn equinox. We are on the north side of the earth, and all of them, when the bucket is leaking, the eddies are turning to the right, and at the equator, the eddies should go straight down without turning. To the south of the equator, the eddy should be reversed. That's why it's cold in the north and hot in the south! ”
"You have a point, but if the earth is round, won't the things below be gone?" Meng Zhao asked suspiciously!
"This, I also discussed it with a guy named Newton before, and Brother Dun said that the reason why things only fall to the ground and not fall up is because of gravity!" Montenegro clenched his fists and said, "Suppose this is the Earth, and all gravity is towards the center of the Earth, even if you are standing under the ball, relatively speaking, below you is the center of the Earth." This is called gravity. This statement is called the theory of relativity! ”
"Where's that Brother Dun, surnamed Niu? I'd love to get to know him! Meng Zhao asked.
"I was thirteen years old when I discussed it with him. He was never seen again. Montenegro made up blindly, "You can write down what I said today, and when it's too peaceful in the future, you can reason with some astrologers." See what they have to say. ”
"I used to think I had read all the books in the world, but I didn't know until today that I was a frog at the bottom of a well! From today onwards, I'm going to close my private school and focus on astrology! Meng Zhao seemed to have come to his senses.
The two kept discussing like this until noon, when Uncle Chen called for lunch. After lunch, Montenegro said goodbye to the teacher and galloped straight to Nanyang City.
When Montenegro arrived at the boot camp, the sun had just set. The horseman who stayed behind, seeing that Montenegro was back, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said, "Tell the commander, the county guard has sent someone to pass the word, so that you can go over as soon as you go back!" ”
"You take care of my dark clouds and snow first, I'll go over now!" Montenegro fetched a few buckets of well water, took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and came to the county guard's mansion.
Montenegro was taken to the county guard's study. Montenegro bowed deeply: "Subordinate Montenegro, meet the county guard." ”
Teng Yue said very enthusiastically: "This is the study, so there is no need to be polite here in the future." I know you haven't eaten yet, and I just haven't eaten yet, so let's talk while eating! He shouted outside again: "Two cases of wine and rice, send to the study." ”
Said to be eating and chatting, Montenegro was already hungry, just gobbling it up, and after a while, he ate the whole meal cleanly, Fujigoe just ate a few mouthfuls of rice casually, and when he saw that Montenegro had finished eating, he handed the roast leg of lamb in front of him to Montenegro and said: "Eat it too, I really envy you young people, I didn't eat worse than you when I was young." ”
Montenegro was not polite, took the roast leg of lamb and ate it in a big gulp, and after a while, both of them were full.
"Yesterday, I have received a letter of appointment from the National Governor's Mansion, which is to appoint you as a thousand cavalry generals, responsible for leading 1,200 elite knights of Nanyang County to the north to the border of Shangjun!" Teng Yue said, handing a thin piece of parchment to Montenegro.
Montenegro took a serious look at it, it was his appointment letter, and the official seal of the national lieutenant was stamped below. "Am I not a thousand horsemen? How did you take 1,200 rides? Montenegro asked suspiciously.
"The Qin army's 1,000 cavalry generals can bring 1,000 to 3,000 cavalry, not including 300 to 1,000 non-combatants such as the gangman battalion, the horseman battalion, the Zizhong battalion, the pawn wife battalion, and the military doctor and horse doctor. This time, all you took away was Jingzhuang, and the logistics staff had their own arrangements when they arrived in Shangjun. Teng Yue explained.
"Can you nail all the horses to the horseshoe and set off?" Montenegro asked.
"The county lieutenant has arranged for the workshop to make horseshoes in the near future, and I will nail the horseshoe to you first before heading north! You can also use these two days to train a lot. These more than 1,000 people are drawn from all counties in the county, not an army with a complete officer establishment, how to cinch a plate of loose hearts into a ball, it is up to you! Teng Yue said.
"Thank you for the reminder! I'm sure I'll be able to do it well. Montenegro replied confidently.
Teng Yue is an old soldier, although he has only been in Qin for more than a year, his ability to govern the army and govern has been deeply appreciated by the King of Qin. Montenegro asked him a few more things, and then he left and went back to the boot camp.
The next day, as soon as Montenegro finished his morning exercise, he saw a figure that he knew about it, it was Baturu, who was nine feet tall and burly.
"Instructor Baturu, didn't you return to the Heavy Cavalry in advance? Why is it coming again? Montenegro asked.
"I heard yesterday morning that you were leading the cavalry north, so I applied to be transferred here to be your subordinate!" Baturu is not spoken in the Chinese language, but the meaning is very clear.
"Okay, Baturu, with your help, I will be like a tiger!" Montenegro is happier than picking up a baby.
Just after noon, all 50 brothers from the former boot camp had arrived early! Montenegro began to assign tasks: "That's not very good, take your people to cooperate with the ironsmith Feng Mofeng to nail the horseshoe of the war horse; Meng Hao brought your people and checked with the roster, and told me that I should inform everyone that I can't talk about the horseshoe in private, let alone outsiders, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with; The carpenter is responsible for arranging the temporary barracks for everyone. Mi Long, you are responsible for organizing a team for them, and first pick up the county nationality and local organization, a total of twelve hundred people. Dead fatty, you are responsible for preparing meals with the guys, there are a lot of people today, I'm afraid they don't have enough manpower. Let's get busy! ”
"No!" The crowd went away.
