Chapter 81: Named Disciples
In ancient times, literacy as a soldier was not encouraged, and if you don't know how to read, you will have fewer thoughts and be easy to manage.
In ancient times, not only were soldiers basically illiterate, but many famous generals were also illiterate, such as the famous Gao family general in the Song Dynasty, Gao Qiong, that is, Gao Zunfu's grandfather, was illiterate.
There is also the forbidden army in the Song Taizu period, which led the party to advance, and he was illiterate if he agreed.
After Zhao Kuangyin established the Great Song Dynasty, he came to a very famous cup of wine to release the military power, and many people may think that those generals who led the troops were deprived of the military power, but this is not the case.
Those who were deprived of military power were those generals who were all-round in civil and military affairs, and who could be civil and military, such as Gao Qiong and Dang Jin, who were illiterate but brave in battle, were not deprived of military power, but were reused.
It can be seen that in ancient times, it was a very normal thing for soldiers to be illiterate, but it was not normal for soldiers to be literate.
Zhang Junping's requirement that the 300 families and adopted orphans be literate is a very unreasonable thing in the eyes of Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu, or it is a superfluous thing.
"Alright, just do as I say! Now that the world is peaceful, these people may not all have the opportunity to fight on the battlefield in the future!
On the contrary, many things in the family will need them in the future, and they can't be illiterate! Zhang Junping didn't give Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu a chance to talk, and decided directly.
"Whoa!" Seeing that Zhang Junping had already decided, Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu no longer argued, and agreed in unison.
"How is my second uncle?" Zhang Junping asked Zhang Lu about Zhang Jianzhong's situation.
"The second master is doing a good job over there, and now the second master is now eating and living in the farm, and he vows to breed the strongest bullfighting bulls.
Today, there are 10 sturdy yaks and 100 sturdy yaks in the farm!
The second master invited several well-known veterinarians and more than a dozen experienced cattle breeders, and dozens of cattle have been successfully conceived! Zhang Lu replied with a smile.
"Hmm!" Zhang Junping smiled and nodded, his second uncle, really can't do business, cockfighting and walking dogs are the most suitable for him.
Zhang Jianzhong is very enthusiastic about cultivating bullfighting, not only staring at the farm cattle farm every day, but also personally studying with veterinarians how to make cattle grow stronger and how to increase the probability of pregnancy in estrus.
Zhang Jianzhong has the experience of raising fighting cocks and dogs, starting from the feed of cattle, and studying what kind of feed cattle like to eat and what kind of feed they eat every day, they will become more robust and aggressive.
Then study the habits of cattle, the law of estrus, how to use drugs to stimulate the cow to estrus, how to take care of it after conception, etc., everything is studied in detail.
Not only research, Zhang Jianzhong also made notes, recording the yak, the daily changes of the yak, and made a big stack of notes alone.
It can be seen that Zhang Junping handed over the matter of cultivating bullfighting to him, which can be regarded as making the best use of materials and talents.
"Uncle Lu, you find someone to circle a piece of land from the farm and build them a house and a martial arts arena!"
"Whoa!" Zhang Lu agreed loudly, quite a bit of the momentum under Zhang Shouen's banner back then.
Zhang Shouen is Zhang Junping's grandfather, that is, the old lady in Zhang Fu's mouth.
"Drink, drink! Fauber has worked hard all the way! I salute Fubo! Zhang Junping once again served Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu full of wine.
It's not polite to say that hard work, in this era of extremely underdeveloped transportation, it is really hard to go out on a long trip.
Look at those ancients, every move is to see off, but also to give a poem as a farewell, not the ancients sentimental, not the ancients than modern people more feeling, indeed, in this era, every separation, every trip, may be goodbye.
Not to mention those ordinary scholars, even officials, often die on the way to office.
"Lang Jun is polite! It's not hard, it's all I have to do! Zhang Fu hurriedly raised his wine glass modestly and drank a glass of wine.
Zhang Lu also stood up to accompany him.
"Lang Jun, what kind of wine is this? It's really strong, stronger than the burning knives I used to drink in the Northwest! After a glass of wine, Zhang Fu smacked his lips and asked.
"Huh! This is our own wine! This wine is called the Fairy Drink! The winery outside the city is used to brew fairy drinks and fairy drunk! ”
"Lang Jun can also make wine?"
"It was taught by my master! Fu Boke still remembers the old Taoist priest I took in when I was worried? ”
"Just that old Taoist priest who chatters and talks upside down all day long?"
"That's right! In fact, he is a master of the game, and the old Taoist priest saw that I was pure and good-natured, and I had a lot of wisdom, so he accepted me as a registered disciple! Zhang Junping said with a mysterious smile.
The ancients still ate this set.
"Huh? Is it a registered disciple? Seeing that he was about to die of hunger in winter, Lang Jun kindly took him in and served him with good food and drink, so he accepted Lang Jun as a registered disciple! Is...... It's really ......" Zhang Fu said fiercely, fighting for Zhang Junping as a registered disciple.
"Hehe, Fu Bo can't say that, the family teacher is a first-class figure of the land immortals, and it is a great fortune to be able to become a registered disciple of the family teacher! How dare you ask for too much? Zhang Junping hurriedly corrected Zhang Fu's words very respectfully.
That look, as if there was really an old fairy master, and he was full of worship for the master, even if it was not in person, he didn't allow others to say disrespectful words.
"Lang Jun is right, I'm lying in vain! A character like the old immortal is a registered disciple, and it is also a blessing that my Zhang family has cultivated for several generations! Zhang Fu arched his hand towards the sky and echoed Zhang Junping's words.
Zhang Junping treated him with the courtesy of an elder, he didn't dare to consider himself an elder, if he didn't have this consciousness, Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu would not have stood out from hundreds of family members and became housekeepers.
"Uncle Lu, during this period of time, Uncle Fu is not here, Uncle Lu is busy at home and outside, I see it in my eyes, Uncle Lu, I won't say anything politely, I respect Uncle Lu!" Saying that, Zhang Junping gave Zhang Lu again, and Zhang Fu and the two were full of wine.
"Don't dare, these are all things I should do! I can't afford to be a toast from Lang Jun! Zhang Lu hurriedly stood up and humbly conceded.
"Uncle Lu, sit down, there is no master and housekeeper today, we are just uncles and nephews drinking and talking together!" Zhang Junping pressed Zhang Lu to a chair and poured him wine.
A move moved Zhang Lu to tears.
Although the Song Dynasty did not allow slaves on the surface, you can look at those powerful families, which one does not have slaves like Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu who have been cultivated since childhood.
It's just a different term, not a slave, but a mercenary, and they call it long-term employment.
After drinking a glass of wine with Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu, Zhang Junping was full of wine again, "Fu Bo's journey is still smooth?" ”
Zhang Fu took a sip of wine before he spoke about what he had seen and heard along the way, "Although I encountered a few thieves who robbed the road along the way, it was generally quite smooth."
By the way, on the way back, I rescued a group of book-printing craftsmen from the hands of the bandits, and they thanked me for saving their lives and volunteered to follow me to the capital to serve Lang Jun! ”
