18. Ambition (II)

"Zhao and Ju, have you forgotten Yang Lian Zhenjia?"

"I never forget!"

"Zhao Youju, have you forgotten Yashan?"

"I never forget!"

"Zhao and Ju, have you forgotten the sick man of East Asia?"

"I never forget!"

Every day, when they get up from bed, Zhao and Ju will ask themselves like this. He had long since left the attendants, so he didn't have to worry about anyone hearing them—and even if they did, they would only be a child's dream.

In such a cold winter, even if he reminded himself like this, Zhao Youju was reluctant to crawl out of the warm bed.

"After working hard for so many days and solving so many troubles, it shouldn't hurt to sleep a little more today, right?" He asked himself in his mind.

Then, he heard the voice of Long Twelve ringing outside the door: "Da Lang, get up!" ”

At this time, Zhao Youju could no longer lie on the bed, he turned over and got up, and put his clothes on his body one by one.

Pushing open the door, a chill rushed towards him, Zhao and Ju Se shrank for a moment, and then saw Long Twelve's face flushed with cold.

It was he who ordered Dragon Twelve alone to wake him up every day after waking up. Dragon Twelve is honest and loyal, as long as he tells him, he will do it wholeheartedly, and he will never compromise it. Moreover, when others call, Zhao and Ju may not listen, only when Dragon Twelve calls, he will remember what he said to the children on the day of the winter solstice.

"Hard-working people, the sky does not pay, if the sky is negative, I will not bear it!"

If he can't get up from his bed, how can he live up to these children, how can he reverse the fortunes of the country?

"Ready—run!"

After a little washing, Zhao and Ju went to the children, who would be the backbone of his plan in ten or twenty years, and he had to get them used to his orders, so that all the shouting of orders and the like, he did it himself. At his command, the children divided into two rows, men on the left and women on the right, and began to run in unison.

A circumference around the mountain, if calculated according to the length of the afterlife, is also three kilometers. In the beginning, these children could only cover this distance, but now they are used to it, and even the youngest girl, Geng Wan, can slowly run back.

In addition to the twenty-one boys and fourteen girls bought, there are also Zhao Ziyue, Ou Bama and Zhao Heju, a total of thirty-eight people. When these nearly forty people ran, the footsteps rumbled, and Zhao and Ju had an order to make everyone walk in unison, so the sound was extremely neat.

The old man, who had gotten up early to pick up fat, stopped what he was doing, and watched as the team ran closer and closer, overtaking him, and running forward again. The old man sucked his nose, which was red from the cold wind, pinched his beard, and shook his head in confusion.

The team soon circled the mountain, which was originally a rough dirt road, and they twisted their feet when they first ran. Later, Zhao Heju led the children and used the afternoon's work to pick up gravel to pave the road. Although the road was no more than three feet wide, only enough for two people to walk side by side, they had worked hard to pave it.

This is probably the first construction completed by Zhao Youju and these children.

Running all the way, except for Zhao and Ju shouting left and right, these children were silent, and occasionally the woodcutter or villager who got up early saw them, and they all raised their heads proudly, as if they could not prove that they were different.

This is also what Zhao and Ju ask of them, although they don't understand it very much now.

Meng Xisheng ran at the front of the team, inhaling the cold air, and he felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Today's life is something he couldn't have imagined when he was sold half a year ago. Unlike the rest of the children, he was born into a family of eunuchs of the Jin Kingdom, and when his grandfather was convicted, he was only eleven years old, and he was not beheaded, but sold into slavery.

At that time, he thought that he would never recover, and was bought by the Shi Mo family on the way to the Great Song Dynasty, he wanted to jump into the water several times to lighten his body, but he failed because he was tightly guarded. He always remembered the scene when he first met Da Lang, Da Lang's sentence "Everything I say is right, and everything I confess must be resolutely done", which made him secretly amused at the time, for this seven-year-old little master, he was not very convinced, but now it is completely different.

Not only is Da Lang extremely generous to these servants, but also because of what he knows and learns. Strange numbers, water wheel mills, and reeling cars, although it is not uncommon to put it bluntly, why is it that only Da Lang will do these, and others can't think of them?

"However, what is the purpose of Da Lang who bought us and taught us so many skills?" While rejoicing, Meng Xisheng also had doubts, he was born in an official eunuch, and he suffered a great change, so he was naturally a little precocious, and he was worried more than the rest of the children.

Before he could figure it out, their morning run was over. The gate of Yuzhang Villa was in front of him, Zhao Heju shouted "Stand", and all the children stopped and stopped.

There were a few more people standing in front of the villa, Zhao Youju frowned, and when he saw Huo Chongcheng among these people, his brows let go.

"Enter the village, walk together!" He ordered.

The children walked forward with their heads held high, Zhao and Ju waved their hands to Zhao Ziyue, Zhao Ziyue understood, and immediately ran to Huo Chongcheng, and Zhao and Ju themselves entered Zhuangzi with the children.

Huo Chongcheng looked at this scene with a smile, but his heart was full of doubts. This prodigy of Yuzhang Villa, he has seen it for a long time, and he has heard people talk about all kinds of weirdness in Yuzhang Villa - running with a servant ring this morning is one of them, but hearing is false and seeing is believing, when Huo Chongcheng really saw it with his own eyes, the feelings in his heart were extremely complicated.

"This Zhao Dalang is extremely knowledgeable, long-term, long-term." The man beside him twisted his beard and said, "Ah Cheng, since you have made friends with this Zhao Dalang, you have to have more contacts." ”

"Daddy's words are just morning jogs, what does it have to do with long-term vision?"

"If you let you read, you don't read, and you will be idle all day long." Huo Chongcheng's father, Huo Zuoyu, made a face: "Go back and ask the professor to tell you about Ren Wengong and Tao Kan (Note 2), and you will know!" ”

At this moment, Zhao Ziyu greeted him, Huo Zuoyu smiled at each other, taking advantage of his father's inattention, Huo Chongcheng pursed his lips and made a grimace at Zhao Heju. Zhao Youju didn't seem to see it, and entered the village gate calmly, leaving Huo Chongcheng pinching his face.

"The honorable guest is Huo Xuexue? (Note 3) "Zhao Zi said that as a servant, he naturally made a deep move.

"It's Huo Si." Huo Zuoyu said with a smile, but he didn't look down on Zhao Ziyue, although he was respected as a pedant, but his family understood his identity, and the lawyer was not highly respected.

"The little master, please come in with Huo Dalang for a while." Zhao Zi said sideways: "Please." ”

(It is said that one day after Da Lang asked the three questions, he always felt quite lost in his heart, and seemed to have forgotten something, after thinking about it, he turned over the white paper full of handwriting on his desk, and he finally suddenly realized: "Rank and look at the officials, have you ever forgotten the recommendation ticket?" As soon as the words fell, he heard a voice of "never forgotten", Da Lang was overjoyed, and then looked at the number of recommended votes, and couldn't help sighing: It turns out that in addition to the author will jump votes, the ranking officials will also jump votes, otherwise, why don't you see the number of recommended votes rise? )

Note 2: Ren Wengong was a native of the late Western Han Dynasty, knowing that the world would change, so that his family members ran around the house every day, and the consequences were in the war, and other family members were either killed by the rebels, or died of hunger and cold. Tao Kan is much more famous, when he was in Guangzhou, he moved 100 bricks outside his home every morning and moved back to the house in the evening to prevent himself from being too leisurely and slack.

Note 3: In the Song Dynasty, it was called a scholar or a learned person to be a scholar, the punishment heaven for the reader's battle, and I would like to thank you again.
