Chapter 8 (14) Nakayama's Family Affair (Secondary 1)
Sun Zhongshan returned to Yanzhou this time, in addition to submitting the "Drill Training Minutes" to the Wei Fu, and also participated in a "study class" run by the Wei Fu.
Study class, this is a new term, it is the same as "main intention", "enemy situation", "strategy", "tactics" and "health department", "politics", "policy", "regulations" and a lot of other words, the earliest birthplace is Yanshan Governor's Mansion. Initially, there was a general attitude of silent resistance because people could not grasp the exact meaning of the new words. In private, some people also use this kind of "fabrication" as evidence to ridicule Shang Cheng's lack of learning. However, just as the palm of a person's hand is divided into the palm of the hand and the back of the hand, since there are opponents of a matter, then it will inevitably have supporters, and after the state professors of the three states of Yanduanfang spontaneously explained and defined the new words, a group of state and county officials headed by Yixian Ling Qiao Zhun began to use these words in various public occasions, and used them in the correspondence between the yamen. Although there were a lot of jokes during the process, their persistence still subtly affected many people. Probably because the meaning of the new word is more accurate, or it may be because the new word can describe something more vividly, or just for the sake of investment and business, anyway, there have been more and more officials using the new word during this period of time, and there is a faint trend of becoming a trend, and even the officials and the three elders in the big market towns in the counties do not care whether the people can understand it or not, and they talk about "policies" and "regulations" all day long, and it seems that if they do not do so, they will not be able to highlight that they and the "Health Administration" are of the same mind. Some officials were eager to use these words in their official documents to the imperial court, but as a result, some of the official documents were returned by the six departments on the grounds that "the resignation did not reach their intentions", and many serious matters were delayed because of this. The Admiral's Office had to urgently issue a document: new words could only be used in Yanshan, and should be avoided as much as possible in the submissions and official documents sent to Shangjing and other places......
It must be said that as soon as this document came out, it inevitably caused a certain amount of confusion in the attitude of officials towards the new words, and it seemed that it was a bit of an overkill. However, most people still go their own way. Especially in the system of the guard army and the border army, the new vocabulary is widely used in everything from daily training drills to the standard of coarse and fine grain matching in food, and it is even a bit overflowing.
Now, Zhongshan is participating in such a study class, a short-term training course for middle and senior generals. It sounds quite imposing, but in fact, it is learning to recognize a batch of maps recently drawn by the Wei Mansion.
In Shang Cheng's opinion, the new map that Wei Fu spent more than half a year and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to make was still crude, but in the eyes of the generals who participated in the study class, this was already the most elaborate map they had ever seen. Facing the geographical map of Yanshan, which occupies almost half of the walls of the Weifu Chamber, looking at the mountains, hills, roads, rivers, ferries, villages, market towns, and cities marked in detail on the map, as well as the terrain, water sources, pastures, settlements, tribes, and the general range of activities of the tribes in the territory of Tuqi above the map, many people couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration, and at the same time sighed: If there had been such a map as a guide when we marched into the grassland last year, we would not have been so badly defeated! As a result, Zhang Shao, who presided over the revision and drawing of the map, accepted the endless praise of the generals and captains, but also had to accept the criticism of others: Since the Wei Mansion has this ability, why did he eat it earlier? !
This short-term course lasts for four days, and the formal class lasts only two and a half days. The various signs on the map that represent mountains, rivers, and lakes are very simple, and everyone can grasp them all in one morning, and the rest of the time is mainly for the people of the Weifu to introduce the basic situation of the various tribes of the grassland and the Tunti. But as we all know, there's really nothing to introduce. As for some of the latest news obtained by the Wei government through various channels, there is often a lack of conclusive evidence, so when the Wei government people put forward this information, they also repeatedly emphasized that this is all "unconfirmed rumors" on the grassland.
On the third day, the officers from the three armies of Yanshan had lunch in the boy's room of Weifu, and the study class was actually over. So everyone called friends and went their separate ways.
Two lieutenants of the Left Military Academy, whom they had known since they had been in the town last year, beckoned Zhongshan to go to the city with them to play. But he had a lot of things on his mind, and he really couldn't muster up the energy to deal with his colleagues, so he found a reason to excuse himself.
People are gone. The courtyard, which had been bustling just now, fell silent. A few handymen carried a large dustpan to clean up the messy canteen, and the chopsticks and dishes clattered and rattled. There was a clucking rooster in the backyard, as if someone had disturbed their peaceful days, and then, with a painful hiss, the unfortunate beast was completely freed from its miserable life......
He walked out of the palace with a heavy heart, found his horse, and for a moment did not know where to go.
He didn't want to go home for a while, he just wanted to go around outside, find someone to talk to, and relieve his mood.
He was eager to find someone to talk to. He felt uncomfortable and desperate to find someone to talk to. Anything goes. Flying in the sky and running on the ground, whatever it is, it can say a few words from the heart. But he didn't have many acquaintances in the city, and he could almost count a few words in the slap in his heart, but the stone and the bag were on duty, and he didn't want to bother now; The seventeenth uncle is in Geping again; Shang Cheng ...... He didn't dare to see him now, he was afraid that as soon as he saw him, he would be tempted to tell the news he had just heard.
Ever since his wife told him the news of Lianniang that night, he has been in a bad mood. Until now, he couldn't believe it could be true. Every time I thought of my wife's words, I couldn't help but shiver over my spine.
He had never seen Lianniang, and he was cautious that he never inquired. He had only heard some things about her from others, and most from stones. Whenever the stone mentions Lianniang, it is "my sister-in-law", my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law...... He remembers how surprised he was when he first heard the words "sister-in-law" from the mouth of the stone. Whether in Yanshan or his hometown Dingjin, or somewhere else, sister-in-law and sister-in-law are extraordinary titles, which represent not only blood closeness, but also admiration from the heart. From the trivial past that the stone talked about intermittently, he could deeply understand the longing for Lianniang in the heart of the stone, which was a kind of reminiscence and remembrance of his dearest relatives. He also vaguely heard that Shi Shi was the only one who knew the whereabouts of Lianniang; The others, whether they are Bao Kan or Fan Quan, no one knows. No one knew what the stone saw in Zhao Ji back then, and no one dared to ask the stone. No one dared. Even if everyone saw that Shishi's temperament became extremely fierce and violent after Zhao Ji, no one dared to inquire about the reason. Even Shang Chengdu didn't dare. Shang Cheng didn't even dare to let people go to the grassland to look for ......
He still remembers the first night of Bao Kan's marriage in the first half of the year, the stone drank too much and went to sleep, he and Bao Kan talked under the oil lamp, and the topic did not know that the stone on the grassland caught the life of the Tu Qi cut out the heart, who knew that Bao Kan actually said something like this with red eyes:
"You really don't understand it in his heart? He didn't dare to think about it......"
As a result, the wine of the two people was all awakened by this inexplicable sentence.
He led his horse aimlessly down the street.
It was getting dark. Soon the north wind blew. A light drizzle drifted in the overcast sky. The cold north wind carried cold raindrops and poured into the necklines and necks. The guys in the shop hid behind the door, boredly waiting for the buyers and customers who might be there. There was no one to be seen on the street anymore. At this time, who will leave the warm home?
He stopped, looked up at the gray sky. A few raindrops were immediately smashed on his face, and a chill immediately drilled from the top of his head to the center of his feet; There was a fire in my heart, but it became even more intense.
He took out the coat and rain cloak from the saddle, put them on, brushed the water from the saddle bridge, and turned over on the horse. He originally planned to go to the Chinese army command yamen to find Sun Huan, the elder brother of Lianzong, and sit there for a while under the pretext of talking about military affairs, but now it seems that he must give up this idea.
As he was leaving the city, someone stopped him.
"Brother Nakayama!"
He looked back and saw that it was Wen Mu.
