Chapter 141: Summer is Scorching
"After all, it's been three days since Zuo Feng left, right?" Liu Tao sat in the tent and looked outside, "I don't know where they went, was the road too peaceful?" ”
"Brother......" Lu Yan held a copy of the Book of Songs, with a serious expression, "Please don't avoid studying." ”
Probably self-inflicted, three days ago I didn't use two sentences from Yu Qian's "Lime Yin". After Lu Zhi went back, he tasted it repeatedly, and he was a little unaccustomed to the seven-word poem, after all, the popular five-word poem was nowadays, but the more these two sentences were tasted, the more flavorful they were.
I heard Lu Yan again, and said a poem by Liu Tao at the banquet earlier. probably felt that Liu Tao should have a talent for poetry, but he hadn't learned similar knowledge, so he asked Lu Yan to make up lessons for him in his free time.
Anyway, the weather is really getting hotter and hotter at the moment, and although the craftsmen have begun to build siege equipment for Guangzong City, they are afraid that the siege will not be carried out until around July. During this period, you can only expect the thieves to go out of the city to fight, or surrender on their own initiative.
"Anyway, have we ever seized the Book of Songs before?" Liu Tao could only change the topic.
"Of course not." Lu Yan replied casually, "This was captured by my father." ”
Liu Tao suddenly felt that after Lu Yan conquered the city, he went to the houses of those rich families to see if there were any books in their study rooms, and brought out the books that were not there to copy them...... Could it be genetic?
“…… Cangshan ......" Liu Tao looked at Lu Yan.
"Brother, it's useless to pretend to be pitiful, let's continue to ......" Lu Yan won't give him a chance to play the emotional card.
"Alright, go ahead!" Liu Tao still gave up treatment.
Thanks to earlier, he added 2 points to his mana, and as his mana increased to 7 points, his brain seemed to be really light, not obvious, and he even felt that it was an illusion.
Before the crossing, after graduating from college, he had not studied well. People who used to make chicken soup said that this learning is a lifelong thing, and if people want to achieve greater achievements, they must study, study, and learn again.
Liu Tao felt that this was right, if he didn't study, how could those who make chicken soup be so good at fooling people. Later, when my colleague heard him say that, he came back with a scolding sentence: If you work in this industry for ten years, you can also become an expert.
Liu Tao carefully recalled this sentence, and when he went back, he sold all the books for scrap......
It's not that learning is useless, it's just that he has developed the concept of practicality. Learn a little bit of the art of war, even if it's something like "Qi Min's Technique". The Book of Poetry, to be honest, really doesn't have a cold, does he plan to be a great poet.
There are a lot of poems in my head, which belong to the 'beautiful sound' in this era, and to put it mildly, it is the 'tune of the dead country', and I will only use it when I am tired of it or my brain is pumped.
"Cangshan, let's discuss...... Do I succeed in reading the Analects? In the end, Liu Tao still put down the "Book of Songs", and after studying for an hour, he found that he had no talent for a great poet at all.
Not to mention the poem, he is now a little confused: Who am I? Where am I from? Why should I read poetry here?
"My father asked me to teach poetry, but as a son of man, how can I disobey it? I studied this poem for two days, but I really couldn't read it, so I told my father again. But if you don't learn, you give up, for fear that your father will be unhappy. Lu Yan also couldn't stand it, looked left and right, and then came to Liu Tao's ear and whispered.
Well, fortunately, my brother still understands people. Fortunately, it was not Lu Zhi who came to teach in person......
"Read, then read!" Liu Tao picked up the scroll and fanned his face, the weather was really terrible, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. There is no fan and air conditioner, which is this bamboo slip, and I suddenly found that it is still very good to be a fan.
"Brother, do you want me to send someone to find some tail feathers to make a feather fan?" Seeing this, Lu Yan thought about it and proposed.
There are also fans in these years, and the more famous one is probably the feather fan, after all, when it comes to feather fans, you will think of Zhuge Liang; In addition, there are pu fans, but the pu kui used to make the pu fans comes from the subtropics and tropics, and Hebei does not have them.
The last type is a straw fan, a fan woven from thatch and the like. Speaking of which, because it was the alternation of winter and spring before, Liu Bei's family did not make this up. In the summer, he would make up some and sell them himself.
At least in this world, Liu Bei really doesn't just weave mats and sell shoes, his business scope also includes the processing and sales of grass fans.
"It's good to have a fan, it's really hot this weather, we're all hot like this, what should the soldiers below do?" Liu Tao shook his head, especially those soldiers who were also responsible for patrolling, supervising, and besieging Guangzong City, it was not easy.
"It's indeed hotter than Zhuojun, and at this time before, Zhuojun wasn't too hot." Lu Yan was also a little uncomfortable, from Zhuo County to Julu County, it was only about six hundred miles, but the weather was already a little different.
"Speaking of which, has anyone in the army suffered from heat stroke recently?" Liu Tao thought for a moment.
"Not for the time being, after all, there is a rotation arrangement, and at the same time, let the soldiers drink some water." Lu Yan shook his head, in the end, it was close to the Qinghe River, and it was easy to get water. Even in the evening, there are many soldiers who will go to the Qinghe River to swim in the cool water.
"Do you want to go swimming too?" Liu Tao thought for a moment.
"Brother, we're going to study now." Lu Yan solemnly reminded.
"It's just that inside the tent, it's also a little stuffy, and this roof is not insulated at all, and it's even hotter when exposed to the scorching sun." Liu Tao is really hot, "By the way, can you get me some saltpeter?" ”
"Is my brother ill?" Lu Yan was a little concerned when he heard this, after all, in these years, saltpeter is mainly used for medicinal purposes.
"Of course I'm fine, saltpeter is some other use, help me collect some, the more the better." Liu Tao replied.
Lu Yan was a little relieved when he heard this, and then went out and ordered the soldiers to collect, and he had to buy a few feather fans by the way. Now in the wild, there is no way to get saltpeter. If you want to get it, you can only go to Qu Zhoucheng behind you to see the situation.
Since I've been there, it's also a good way to get some feather fans back.
Fifty miles of the road, a fast horse is about an hour, but in fact it is faster, two hours before and after, the soldier has returned, bringing back two burdens, plus the change back.
ordered someone to send a fan to Lu Zhi, and then Lu Yan brought the fan and saltpeter to Liu Tao. The latter's feet are already soaked in a wooden barrel at the moment, which is filled with water, and the effect is average, so it can cool down.
"Brother, the saltpeter you asked for has been returned. It's just that time is pressing, and the soldiers will find half a catty. Lu Yan handed the package to Liu Tao.
"Half a catty is also enough ......" Liu Tao heard this, immediately put down the scroll in his hand, and smiled at Lu Yan, "Fetch another bucket of water, and I'll show you a spell that is not a spell!" ”
"Oh, brother has learned a new spell again?" Lu Yan was curious.
"Spells...... It's certainly not that easy to learn. Liu Tao was a little embarrassed, "But what I'm going to do now is not magic, but science!" ”
