Chapter 39 of the Six Kingdoms Old Pawn

Ye Teng was about to be laughed at by the stupid people in front of him: "Although this is the land of the Han family, it is the land of the king of Han alone." If you want to increase your food, you should ask the king for permission, and your subordinates will only obey the king's orders. If the king has nothing to do, please forgive your subordinates for being busy with official business and unable to accompany you. ”

He flicked his sleeves and left Gongzisheng behind, and walked out of Gongzisheng's mansion in Wancheng by himself. Gongzi Sheng originally had to come to Nanyang because he failed to compete for the throne, how could he ask the new king to increase his food. He scolded in the back, but Ye Teng didn't take it to heart at all. If he is so ignorant, he might as well kill a son on the day the city changes hands.

While Li Si was still waiting for the messenger, the second-generation descendants of the Lu family of the Qin State had already made friends with the descendants of the military nobles, and they could be regarded as having found a partner in Chinese studies.

Meng Tian has a dull personality but talks with Lu Ze very happily, and Meng Yi has a lively personality and often plays with the active Lu Shizhi. Although there are still many wealthy families in the classroom who are a little arrogant to the poor offspring, they no longer dare to show it to discredit the family since King Qin reprimanded.

Meng Yi was pulling Lu Shizhi's sleeve at this time to listen to the lecture of the lawyer, and Lu Shizhi had to follow him quickly in order not to let his sleeve be torn: "Brother Meng? Brother Yi? Slow down, my mother sewed it by hand, don't tear it. ”

His pace slowed slightly, a gloomy light flashed in his bright eyes, and he said to Lu Shizhi, who was pouting and complaining: "This is an old law official who has gone through several dynasties, and I don't know when I miss today before I can come to him to give a lecture." Could it be that you also want to learn the art of war like your brother? ”

"What's wrong with learning the art of war? It is always a man's wish to be a general to conquer the world. Besides, weren't you talking about sleeves just now? How did you get involved in the art of war? Lu Shizhi looked at Meng Yi, who was a little confused, and asked puzzled.

Meng Yi looked left and right at the emptiness around him, and then turned sideways to Lu Shizhi's ear and said, "If I don't pull your sleeve, will it be possible to pull your hand in front of everyone?"

Although there are people who like the art of war and war, more of them have to fight for the country in order to protect the family business of their ancestors. If it is unfortunate to fail, it is good to leave a blood line for the family if there are scribes. ”

By the end of his speech, his voice had been much lower, reminding Lu Shizhi that his grandfather had died on the battlefield of Zhao not long ago.

"Then listen to the priest's lecture as you wish. Just stop pulling my sleeve and I'll go faster. Lu Shizhi thought about it and felt that Meng Yi's words were really reasonable. There is only one boy in the family except Lu Ze, if they all die on the battlefield, will their daughters be bullied by others in the future?

Meng Yi stretched out his hand and touched the pigtail on the top of Lu Shizhi's head, then let out a laugh and ran towards the palace room in the distance. The sudden attack caught Lu Shizhi off guard, and he chased after Meng Yi's figure with his head in both hands.

"Brother Lu must not blame, my brother is really stubborn, I will teach him a lesson later." Meng Tian didn't expect that Meng Yi, who was quite restrained in front of him, would be too presumptuous in front of others.

Lu Ze didn't care, the two of them were of the same age, and they didn't make a fuss: "It's okay, my brother and Ah Yi get along very happily, it's a good thing." Not long after I arrived, I was clamoring for my father to go back to visit Jiaci, and I was no longer depressed after playing at home during the holiday a few days ago. ”

The two talked and laughed and walked towards the soldier's class, but this day was not Lu Gong's lecture. Behind the desk was an old man who looked like he was fifty or sixty, with a small wooden crown that was not even bigger, but he was trembling in front of this group of students.

Lu Gong saw that it had really become what he had guessed now, and he had to come forward to explain: "The king thinks that you will learn the art of war, but you don't know about military affairs. I specially invited some veterans who have been in battle for a long time to tell you about the military affairs. ”

He paused and sighed, looked at the old soldier who had not yet entered the state, and said to the students below: "That's it, if you have any doubts about life in the army, you can ask this old soldier, and raise your hand one by one." ”

Although Li Si is a civil servant, he wants his children to take the road of a general. He estimated that it would take a short time for Qin to destroy the Six Kingdoms, and if his son could mix some military exploits on the battlefield, his family would be able to win in Qin. Li You raised his hand and wanted Lu Gong to ask him a question, but Lu Gong saw that he raised his hand first and pointed at him to ask a question.

Li Youzhi still didn't say anything for a long time, and when he saw that Lu Gong was ordering the next person, he hurriedly touched his head and said, "I don't know what to eat in the army?" ”

The old pawn was also amused by the nervous child in front of him: "In the army, the meals eaten at each meal are different depending on the title. The hairpin can have a bucket of polished rice, half a liter of sauce, a plate of vegetable soup, and half a stone of hay. And the old pawn I was only promoted after the last battle, and I heard that it was more than half a bucket of rice than a hairpin. Now that the king is promoting wheat flour bread, it is presumably that wheat will soon be distributed among the army. ”

Lu Gong saw that Li You sat down with a red face before ordering another person, but that person was concerned about the march: "I don't know how far the infantry army can go in a day?" ”

The old soldier couldn't help but think of the glorious results of the expedition to the world with Wu Anjun, and he replied with a smile when he heard the questions he understood: "Light vehicles carry supplies, and soldiers do not carry weapons and water, and they can travel 200 miles a day." ”

He took off his straw sandals and showed the soles of his calloused feet to the children, causing them to exclaim. But a voice came from nowhere: "I'm waiting for a general, how can I have to rely on my feet to hurry." ”

When the old man heard such a voice, he forgot the difference of identity and looked at the students sternly: "Yes! After you are not a poor old farmer, your family background is extraordinary. You can ride on horseback on the battlefield, but don't forget that the soldiers are very the road. If you can't calculate the physical strength of the soldiers and blindly lead the army forward, you will definitely delay the fighter at least and be defeated and die. ”

Lu Gong clapped his hands and applauded the old soldier's speech, but he saw the old soldier in tears and continued to choke and said: "One general is incompetent, and he is tired of the three armies." If you don't want to know about the war, Lao Suo doesn't want to talk about it. Farewell. ”

The descendants of the Meng family were so ashamed that they had to stand up and confess: "Mr. is reasonable, it is the student who is arrogant, please don't leave." ”

Qin Zheng didn't know when he came, and he stood quietly outside the door and listened to the old soldier crying that his elders were brought to death by incompetent generals during the war, which made the young people below have to be more cautious about the affairs of the soldiers.

He thought that everything in front of him was from that clever and clever girl, and he missed it very much after not seeing him for more than a month. In the palace, Duke Lu persuaded the sad old man: "Today is the king, considering this matter, I asked Mr. to come and solve the doubts for the future." Presumably, those who also know the soldiers, the major affairs of the country, must be cautious. ”

"No!" The students' answers in unison made the old pawn gradually stop crying, and continued to solve the doubts of the serious students below.

Qin Zheng went to the classes in the farmhouse and water conservancy, and found that there were few students. Although agriculture is the foundation of a country, water conservancy is an important matter in agriculture. If there is no one in front of you who wants to learn, it is not appropriate. He couldn't think of a suitable way for a while, and maybe he had to wait for Lu Pheasant to come back before he could come up with a good idea.

When he finally went to the garden attached to the palace, he found that the peasants had cultivated the land next to the strange flowers and plants that he had specially ordered to cultivate, and they were trying out some new farming tools, and there were piles of manure on the edge of the garden, making the area smelly.

Qin Zheng, who had a black face, wanted to lose his temper, but when he saw those people in sackcloth and working in the "farmland" with his trouser legs pulled, he felt that he had nothing to say. He instructed the eunuchs beside him: "After the widow leaves, you take the peasant professor to reclaim a piece of land outside the palace." The garden was originally a place for students to relax, and no agricultural crops could be planted. ”

The eunuch saw that Qin Zheng was not angry, and he wanted to divide the land for them, and he already understood in his heart the sense of proportion to speak later.

He estimated that the lesson on the old pawn's side was about to be finished, so he was ready to go in and comment on this lesson. I didn't want the old man to kneel on the ground excitedly when he saw King Qin, and in the end he was pulled up by Qin Zheng himself.

Qin Zheng stood in the hall and looked at the students in front of him, thinking about the words of the old pawn, and said heavily: "Today, the old pawn will share his lifelong experience with you, and I hope that you will lead the army in the future and make fewer mistakes." You can take the soldiers with you, and you can bring them back. It takes 20 years for a person to grow from a young child to a boy. If you are a soldier with great ambition and talent, then go and study the Fa! ”

After saying this, he asked the honest and frightened old man how he was treated as a teacher in the Chinese Studies, and the old man was busy praising this errand for being easy and rich, and it was also a very honorable thing to be able to meet King Qin. Qin Zheng, who originally planned to give some rewards to the old pawn, didn't know what to say.

After the old man said those words, he had a difficult face and wanted to say but didn't dare, Qin Zheng, who was watching, was impatient and had to ask himself: "Old man, do you still have something to say to the widow?" ”

"Lao Suo still has a grandson in his family, he is a teenager, I don't know if he can enter the country." In the end, he knelt on the ground and told his little selfishness.

"Don't you know that the widow has ordered each family above the rank of one to enter the country?" Of course he didn't give the order, but since he said so, shouldn't he just go back and make up for it? When you think of those empty classrooms, someone has to learn. Expanding the scope of students, isn't it more likely that students who were originally peasants will become pro-people officials in the future?

The old pawn hurriedly thanked Wang En, and Qin Zheng asked someone to pull him up before returning to Xianyang Palace.

When he was drowsy in the carriage, he was still thinking that Li Sidu had replied that everything was going well and was returning to Qin, but he didn't know what Lu Pheasant was doing these days, and she had been wronged in Wei?

"When will the envoys return?" Li Xin saw that Lu Pheasant was living in Wei very happily, and he had to forget the mission of King Qin.

Lu Pheasant put on an innocent face: "Didn't the messenger who returned home already set off early?" Let's wait another five days! Recently, my swordsmanship has improved a lot, and I will not have the guidance of a grandmaster when I return to China. ”

Li Xin thought about the secret order issued by the King of Qin, asking him to bring back Lu Pheasant as soon as he finished his business. He couldn't help but convey the order of the King of Qin to LΓΌ Pheasant, hoping that LΓΌ Pheasant would return to China earlier and not stay in Wei any longer.

"General Li has never heard a word: 'The general will not be subject to the order of the king abroad'? Then stay for another three days! Lu Pheasant waved his hand and ran towards his room.
