Volume 1: The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 61: The Spring of the Fourteenth Year of Orthodoxy (Part II)
Jiang Yuyan was woken up by the sound of Ah Tian walking into the camp, and strictly speaking, it was not a wake-up.
This night he slept very deeply, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the clear sky light coming through the gap in the open door curtain, and there was not much sleepiness born from sleep, but he could feel the vitality of the first awakening in his body.
He remembered a saying he had seen before the crossing that a cat would sleep peacefully in a place he trusted, but fidgeting in a place he thought was unsafe.
Jiang Yugang, who traveled to the Ming Dynasty, actually doesn't look like a cat who always maintains a high degree of vigilance around him? All the time, not to think carefully and be wary.
Only by Ah Tian's side can he get a short period of relaxation. These days, there are not many people he really trusts, and Ah Tian is one of them.
Ah Tian, who walked into the tent, was holding a tray made of golden camphor wood, and on the tray was a matching tableware made of the same golden camphor wood, which seemed to be today's breakfast.
Seeing Jiang Yugang who sat up, Ah Tian said hello: "Brother Yugang, you woke up, did you sleep well yesterday?" ”
"Very good, with you by my side, I rarely have such a restful rest." Jiang Yu said gratefully.
Ah Tian's face flushed slightly, and he snorted: "From then on, I can be by your side every day..."
"What?" Jiang Yuyan had just woken up and didn't hear Ah Tian's whispered words clearly.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's have breakfast." Ah Tian hurriedly said vaguely, and put the tray on Jiang Yugang's table, which was a common salty soup in Luchuan, because of providing the villagers with the most needed food, Jiang Yugang was entertained by the villagers several times in Nansang Village, and it tasted quite good.
There are a few pieces of grilled meat in the small dish next to it, I don't know what kind of meat it is, and you can see that the meat is taken care of very carefully, it should be Ah Tian's handiwork.
This set of tableware is also from the hand of Dao Yunyue, who is happy to make all kinds of things that are not useful or simply fun in addition to formal construction and design and production of various molds. Whether it's Jiang Yu's recliner or this set of cutlery, it's the same.
Jiang Yuyan is not the kind of person who forces his subordinates to work all their time, Dao Yunyue likes to make some fun things in his spare time, so he will also take out equivalent possessions in exchange for these things.
The loot collected from the Luchuan Army enriched Jiang Yugang's private collection. Because the Ministry of Intelligence was responsible for the inventory, there were very few people in the castle who knew exactly how much the loot was and what the content was, and their confidence was incomplete with each other, and it was impossible to effectively link and check it.
And the only people who know all the loot are Jiang Yugang and Ah Tian. Ah Tian didn't treat Jiang Yugang as an outsider, so in the end, almost half of the loot fell into Jiang Yugang's hands.
Although Jiang Yugang didn't know how many silver taels these gold and silver property could be converted into, Ah Tian, who grew up in the Qianguo Mansion in Yunnan since he was a child, knew a lot, coupled with his years of experience as a craftsman, and borrowed some weighing tools, Ah Tian calculated that the silver in Jiang Yugang's hand was about more than 4,700 taels.
These silver coins come from many battles with the Luchuan Army and the battle of bandits in the area of Manggu Mountain, judging from the difficult living conditions of the people in Manggu Mountain, these money can be regarded as the wealth of the entire Manggu Mountain.
Whether it was the looting of the Luchuan Army or the looting of the bandits, in the end they all became Jiang Yugang's collection, and Jiang Yugang also saved the trouble of collecting these belongings, which is also a good reincarnation of heaven.
Jiang Yu tasted the barbecue and asked, "Is this a boar?" ”
"Well, freshly hunted, it's fresh." Ah Tian nodded: "I baked it myself." ”
"I've eaten it, but the other cooks don't have this level," Jiang Yu bit the meat and praised Ah Tian with some indistinctness: "Just the handling of this meat, they are far worse than you." ”
"Okay, I know." Ah Tian watched Jiang Yu eat the barbecue with a satisfied expression, and his heart was also surrounded by happiness.
She held her cheeks with her hands, watched Jiang Yugang eat breakfast, and remembered important things again: "The matter of the study class, I copied more than a dozen literacy books last night, I have to say, Brother Yu, you can invent these words is really amazing." ”
Hearing Ah Tian's admiration, Jiang Yu couldn't help but pause as he bit the jaw of the barbecue, this simplified Chinese character, he didn't have the ability to invent it, but now he can only accept this honor with a cheeky face.
He swallowed a piece of meat and nodded: "This new character, I call it 'Simplified Chinese Characters', it retains the glyph of the original Chinese characters, and is more convenient to remember and write. ”
"It's really amazing, obviously if you look closely, this is a completely unfamiliar font, but if you look at it roughly, you can basically judge which original character this 'simplified Chinese character' corresponds to through the memory of the original glyph." Ah Tian took out his own literacy notebook from the cloth bag he was carrying.
Jiang Yu said recklessly, you may not know more wonderful things, even if you only know simplified Chinese characters and see traditional Chinese characters, you can also know the vast majority of them without a teacher.
Ah Tian's cloth bag was a gift from Dao Yunyue, although this person didn't know that Ah Tian was a woman dressed as a man, but when she visited Jiang Yugang, she was keenly aware that her relationship with Jiang Yugang was not ordinary, so she also gave a gift as a favor.
Jiang Yuyan felt a little helpless about Dao Yunyue's cleverness on the one hand, while enjoying the thoughtful service, on the other hand.
He has excellent skills, and at the same time, he has the ability to win over Jiang Yugang's relationship, and at this point, if he doesn't give him a little benefit, Jiang Yugang himself feels a little too much.
Ah Tian is still studying the literacy notebook, which will be used in the literacy class for a while. I've been copying it all night, but I'm still amazed when I look at it now. Whether it's a firecracker, a fixed bullet or a bird's gun, Jiang Yugang can always bring so many novelties.
Like, just like the fairy in the story that his mother told him when he was a child, Jiang Yugang is such a person.
Thinking about this, Ah Tian couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yu again, only to see that he was buried in the barbecue, looking like a child with a satisfied face. When I think about things, I almost shudder with my deep and thoughtful thoughts, but at this time, I am as naïve as a child.
In fact, Ah Tian has always been proud of her origin, even if she was in a foreign country and became the lowest level of the Wei Sho craftsman, but she never forgot that she was the daughter of the Duke of Qian, even if she was the daughter of a partial concubine, but she still belonged to the most noble family in the southwest of the great country of Daming.
Even as a craftsman, living as a woman disguised as a man did not make her lose hope in life. She is proud of her ability to live strongly, and she is also the person who knows the most words and reads the most books among her peers.
Until she met Jiang Yugang, she was truly impressed by this person from the bottom of her heart, this is a person who miraculously broke into her life, saved her life in the most dangerous time, and continued to create miracles, he also knows words, has read books, he stands in front of her to protect her when she is in danger, and knows many things she doesn't understand.
Ah Tian is willing to help this man do anything, and she has a hunch that this man will do unparalleled greatness.
And many years later, when Ah Tian stood on the trestle bridge of Dala Harbor in the Bago Kingdom under the jurisdiction of Luchuan Town's talisman and watched her warship group sail into the distance, she couldn't help but think of the early morning she spent with Jiang Yugang many years ago in the depths of Mengyang's Manggu Mountain.
··················································
After breakfast, Jiang Yugang and Ah Tian went to the center of Mang Castle together.
According to Jiang Yugang's request, when Zhang Dake and Dao Yunyue built the Mang Castle, they set aside a large open area here, and built a circular pyramid-like structure as a high platform where speeches could be made around.
Jiang Yugang named this place Gaotai Square, which is a place in the ancient castle of Mang that is specially used to inform various things. In the center of Gaotai Square stands a large bell, which they bought from Mangyun Village, one of the three major cottages in Manggu Mountain.
After the departure of the Luchuan army, these cottages also slowly recovered, no longer living in private bartering as before, close to the primitive life, but gradually started normal money transactions.
This situation, on the one hand, made the influence of the Mang Castle continue to weaken, but also strengthened the trade intensity between the Mang Castle and the cottage, and many materials that could not be obtained from the Ming army in Mengyang City could be obtained from the people of the cottage.
And this strengthened trade became more and more prosperous because of the large number of hunting operations in the mountains of the organized army of Mang Castle and the output of a large number of craftsmen in the Alchemy of Mang Castle, and through daily trade, the people were able to understand more deeply what kind of existence the Ming army of Mang Castle was.
Jiang Yuyan rang the big bell on the high platform, and everyone in the Mang Castle began to walk towards him. At this time, the army had just finished its morning training, and it was the time when there were the most people in Mang Castle.
"Now, I want to announce one thing," Jiang Yu's voice was loud, and his eyes were fixed on the people under the high platform: "Mang Castle will hold a big event, called Writing Education, we will not charge any remuneration, and teach all those who are willing to participate in reading and reading. ”
"All the people involved in the study, if they can pass the assessment of the learning results, then those who have no work to do, our Ming Army will provide you with a job to do, whether it is farming, joining the Orion Team, or joining the Ming Army, joining the Alchemy Academy, we will help."
"And if you are originally a member of the Ming Army, the Alchemy Academy or the Intelligence Department, those who pass the assessment will have the opportunity to be promoted first."
As soon as Jiang Yu's voice fell, a heated discussion began below, whether it was the curiosity about text education or the treatment proposed by Jiang Yu, these people were extremely interested.
Someone rang the small bell under the high platform, and the bell echoed. This is the way Jiang Yugang designed to speak, when there are many people who want to speak, line up to ring the small bell under the high platform, and the bell ringer gets the opportunity to speak.
"Where can I join the study?" He asked the top questions of all.
"In the back hill square." It was the largest open space behind Manggu Castle, and a high platform for speeches had also been erected, and Jiang Yugang was going to make another important place for the most public speeches there.
Looking at the crowded scene, Jiang Yugang hurriedly reminded: "Everyone, don't delay your work for the sake of learning and education, once you find out, you will be punished!" ”
"In the first three days of text education, the content is the same, so those who have learned it don't have to listen anymore, and those who have wasted the opportunity to learn can find time to participate." Jiang Yuyan continued to announce the process design of the whole event: "After the 10th, the first assessment will be held, and those who pass the assessment will be able to participate in more advanced training, while others will have to wait for the next writing education to begin." ”
·········································
"Brother Yu, I'm worried that I won't be able to teach well." Ah Tianxiu frowned slightly.
Jiang Yugang smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter if you can't teach well, I didn't expect how many people will be able to learn, but now it's just a wide network, and the people who really learn will be the main force in our text education." ”
