Chapter 69 Wool Picking
"Hahaha... Uncle Liu has said this to this point, if the little nephew refuses to allow it, it will not be mine! In this way, I took those students to express their gratitude to Uncle Liu! Zhang Junping looked at Liu Mei, who was in a hurry, and said with a laugh.
"No thanks, no thanks, cultivating talents for the official family and doing things for the court, I, Liu Mei, am willing! If the virtuous nephew looks up to me, he must not be polite to me, and if there is such a thing again, just tell me! Liu Mei patted her chest and said impassionedly.
Zhang Junping smiled, his eyes rolled, since Liu Mei was so generous, he couldn't let him down, so he smiled: "Uncle Liu, the little nephew has a reluctant request!" The students still lack a long sword to learn swordsmanship, so they don't bother the two masters, or Uncle Liu also helps the students solve it? ”
"Poof!" Liu Mei vomited blood directly.
If Liu Mei knew the famous sayings of later generations, she would definitely scold Zhang Junping, and she didn't catch a sheep and slam the wool? You won't change a sheep?
"Uncle Liu, are you alright? But you must pay attention to your body! The body is the capital of loyalty to the official family! Otherwise, Uncle Liu has the enthusiasm of loyalty to the official family, but he can only sigh emptyly, and he has the intention to kill the thief and is unable to serve the country! Zhang Junping hurriedly supported Liu Mei and said with concern.
"I'm fine, but I've been on fire lately, and I've spit out this mouthful of blood, and my heart is suddenly much more relaxed! Don't worry! As for the long sword that the virtuous nephew just mentioned, this is a trivial matter, and I will let the housekeeper build it······· I don't know how many long swords my nephew needs? ”
"Three hundred swords are enough! If it's not enough, the little nephew will figure it out by himself! Zhang Junping originally wanted to say five hundred long swords, but later saw that Liu Mei vomited blood, so he was really embarrassed, so he simply changed his words, only three hundred.
"Good! Three hundred long swords, I will let the housekeeper send them to the academy tomorrow! Liu Mei gritted her teeth and said.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu!" Zhang Junping hugged his fists and thanked him.
"No thanks, is there anything else to do with the virtuous nephew? If there is nothing else, my uncle still has some official business here, so I won't keep you! Liu Mei drove people directly, not daring to let Zhang Junping continue to stay, who knows what he will ask for later.
"Since Uncle Liu is busy with official business, the little nephew won't bother much! Leave! Zhang Junping hugged his fists and said goodbye. walked to the door, turned around again, looked at Liu Mei, and startled Liu Mei, thinking that he was going to make some more requests, who knows, Zhang Junping smiled lightly, "Uncle Liu should take care of his body!" You might as well drink a glass of hot milk with honey every day, just like the official family! ”
"Good, good! There is Lao Xian's nephew worried! Liu Mei's heart warmed, this Zhang Junping is not bad, much better than a few stinky boys in the family, and he knows how to care about his body.
Zhang Junping left the yamen in front of the palace, and he was in a very good mood.
He didn't go home, but went directly to the outer city, Vientiane Academy.
These old pedants actually dare to use war horses, bows and arrows to embarrass themselves, which is really untidy.
The Song Dynasty couldn't help swords, like the long swords used by scholars, as well as bows and arrows, which could be bought as long as there was money, but war horses, which were lacking in the entire Great Song Dynasty!
A good war horse costs 100 yuan, even if it is a bad war horse, it costs 30 or 40 yuan, 300 people, even if it is to buy an ordinary war horse, it is tens of thousands of yuan, a few old guys, bullying him Zhang family has no money.
But I don't know that learning to ride a horse and shoot an arrow doesn't necessarily have to be bought, but you can learn it when you go to the barracks.
Yes, ordinary people can't enter the barracks, but the system is the system, there is a saying that the system is used to destroy, there are policies and countermeasures, as long as there is a heart, there is always a way to deal with it.
"Gentlemen, the matter of war horses and bows and arrows has been resolved, every three or five days, students can go to Shenlongwei to practice horseback archery, and their own military masters teach them to ride horses and archery.
The long swords that the students need will be delivered tomorrow, and they will come to teach them swordsmanship in person after they get off duty every day! Sitting in the tea room of the academy, Zhang Junping said to several Confucians with some pride.
"It's still the mountain chief who has the ability! Not only did the problem of war horses and bows and arrows be easily solved, but the matter of teaching the art of riding and archery was also solved, and the old people were still worried about who would teach the students to ride horses and archery and fencing! Several Confucians glanced at each other, and Gu Fang stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Huh! These are all trivial things, and I, the mountain chief, am the logistics for all gentlemen, so that you can teach students without worries! In the future, the teaching of students will have to be entrusted to a few gentlemen! I also hope that the gentlemen can teach strictly, so that the students can become talents as soon as possible! ”
"When it comes to teaching and educating people, we also have decades of experience, so we must be dedicated and live up to the trust of the mountain chief!" Gu Fang stroked his beard and said with an arrogant smile on his face.
"It's so good, the matter of teaching and educating people will bother you gentlemen!" Zhang Junping echoed on his lips, but in his heart he pouted, bragging and not making drafts, and teaching for decades, how old are you all one?
These great Confucians, the oldest Gu Fang, is only in his fifties, and he dares to teach and educate people for decades. But this can't be true, teaching for more than ten years, you can say decades, this number is still very particular.
After talking with the Confucians for a while, Zhang Junping went to look at the high and low beds that were nervously rushing.
At this time, the huge courtyard was full of timber that had just come in, and dozens of carpenters were nervously processing the high and low beds.
The high and low beds are actually connected by mortise and tenon structures, which is not a difficult thing for these carpenters.
It's just that the academy needs a lot of people, and the time is relatively tight, so these carpenters are a little nervous.
"Master Liu, I don't know when it will be completed?"
"I've seen Zhang Guanren!" When Master Liu saw Zhang Junping, he hurriedly saluted him.
"No need to be polite, the tables, chairs, beds, and cupboards needed by the academy will be completed, I don't know when they will be completed?" Zhang Junping returned the salute and asked again.
"Back to Zhang Guanren, the amount of furniture needed for the academy is huge, and even though we are working day and night, it will take about twenty years!"
"Lenten ·····" Zhang Junping pondered for a moment and asked, "Master Liu, can't you mention some more time?" You can find more craftsmen to come over! Just open two more silver! ”
"Back to Zhang Guanren, if it is usual, it is easy to find, but now, Zhang Guanren has built a wine shop outside the city, and Liu Jiaya has built a bullring, which has taken away many people, as well as the craftsmen needed by other families in the city, and now he can find forty-eight people, which is already a big face for Xiao Lao'er!" Master Liu bowed again and replied.
"There's no other way?"
"Unless······· Unless Zhang Guanren can find someone from the official craftsman's workshop! Master Liu hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Official's workshop?" Zhang Junping was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was the Great Song Dynasty, and people like Liu Dajiang and others were all craftsmen, and they had to go to the official craftsman's workshop every year to serve in labor.
