After reading the contents of the note, Liu Renyu bounced up from the Taishi chair he was sitting on, and saluted Du Ruonan with a fist: "Miss Du, I'm sorry, I also want to sit here more, but General Sun has already replied to me, saying that I should go to pick up my relatives immediately, so Liu will leave." On the 18th, it was the day I got married, and I invited Miss Du to my garrison mansion for a tea dinner. ”

"Definitely, definitely, this is a happy event, and I will definitely go." Du Ruonan smiled slightly and replied.

"Then I'm leaving, I haven't finished talking about soap and out-of-season vegetables, so I'll talk about it another day, how about it?"

"My lord, the little woman is in this Jingbian Fort every day, as long as the adults have time, just come to me."

"Okay, okay, thank you for today."

"It's a trivial matter." Du Ruonan shook his head slightly and chuckled.

"Anyway, thank you, Miss Du, Liu said goodbye."

"Master Liu walks slowly." Du Ruonan bowed.

"Gone."

After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he left the Four Seas Restaurant and went in the direction of his own garrison.

When Liu Renyu returned to his garrison mansion, He Ergou had not yet come to Jingbian Fort from Zhenbei Fort, Liu Renyu had nothing to do for the time being, so he used this rare leisure time to think about the upcoming education system. Reform.

In Liu Renyu's plan, the first step in this reform of the education system is to change the curriculum of primary schools, and the scriptures and Confucianism that are currently being taught will be renamed Chinese, and then arithmetic, physical education, music, fine arts, civilized etiquette, and natural sciences will be added.

Speaking of which, it is not difficult to open this course, but the difficulty is that the instructors are scarce.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Renyu couldn't help but sigh that if he traveled to modern times, it would not matter, and he only needed to send some students to Europe and the United States to go around and learn scientific knowledge back. But in this era, it takes a few years to go from the Ming Dynasty to Europe by water, which is unrealistic.

Therefore, Liu Renyu decided to be self-reliant and surveyed the textbooks of arithmetic, civilized etiquette and natural science by himself.

Liu Renyu is very confident that this task will be completed.

He planned to introduce Hanyu Pinyin into Chinese textbooks, and finally, if possible, gather a group of sub-readers to compile a dictionary, named after the disgusting "Liu Renyu Dictionary".

This arithmetic discipline introduces Indian numerals (Arabic numerals), as well as addition, subtraction and multiplication formulas, as well as ancient Greek geometry, Liu Renyu can't remember the content of this discipline, but it doesn't matter, he can ask someone to go to Guangdong, Fujian to find the Dutch, or Spanish, Portuguese to buy, and then translate it.

In the field of physical education, Liu Renyu still plans to continue to let wounded and discharged soldiers serve as instructors, and the training subjects are the same as military training, but the amount and intensity of training should be reduced.

In addition to the basics of singing, Liu Renyu plans to introduce Western musical instruments and cultivate a group of musical talents, which can be used in future large-scale celebrations and expeditions.

The art discipline does not mean that students should be trained to become calligraphers like Tang Bohu, but that they should improve their artistic accomplishment and let them be tasteful people.

Liu Renyu pondered that after he got married, he would take a little time to go into retreat and compile teaching materials, first pounding out the pinyin drums, and then compiling the arithmetic teaching materials.

When the teaching materials are ready, they will invite all the talented people who are teaching Confucianism to train them and let them learn pinyin, and as for the arithmetic class, they will recruit people from the bookkeepers in Jingbian Fort to train them first, and then let them change careers to become teachers.

As for music and art faculty, this one is not hard to find. Music instructors, looking for them from the troupe, art instructors, and a large number of painters from Jingbian Fort, pick them at random.

However, Liu Renyu himself can't do Western music, and there is no corresponding talent in Shaanxi, so Liu Renyu plans to let the Du family go to the coastal area to Taobao to see if he can find the kind of fake foreign devil who is proficient in Western studies.

If such talents are really hard to find, then Liu Renyu can only make Western musical instruments first, then hum Western tunes, let the music teachers understand them by themselves, and then teach the students according to the memories brought by later generations.

Then, Liu Renyu felt that in the current school, the teachers are too arbitrary, and the time of each class is different, which is not good, so he plans to introduce a large number of grandfather clocks and pocket watches, and set the time as a 24-hour system instead of the current hour timing system.

In this way, Liu Renyu thought silently for a while, and before he knew it, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, he wanted to have a few baked cakes, so he ate them with boiled water, and then waited quietly for He Ergou.

According to the time calculation, even if He Ergou was on foot, it would be time to walk from Zhenbei Fort to Jingbian Fort, not to mention that he must be riding a horse.

Liu Renyu waited for about half an hour before he saw Sun Wuxian and He Ergou coming together.

Saying that, He Ergou saw Liu Renyu from a distance, so he shouted loudly: "My lord, you finally remembered that there is still me as a person, I thought you had forgotten me." ”

"What are you talking about, it's all old brothers, how can I forget you." When Liu Renyu saw He Ergou coming, he stood up and came out to greet him.

When He Ergou walked to his own general, he knelt on one knee and saluted: "He Ergou has seen Lord Liu." ”

"Please get up, please get up."

Liu Renyu first helped He Ergou up with both hands, and then took the other party's hand and walked all the way into the conference room.

When the guests and hosts of the two sides sat down, Liu Renyu asked with a smile: "Ergou, are you okay in Zhenbei Fort?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, you are very good in Zhenbei Fort, and you don't have much to do, just train new soldiers, inspect the city defenses, and live a tight idle life."

"Yes! You don't have much to do, which means that Zhenbei Fort is very peaceful, which is a good thing. Ergou, I recruited you today, but I want you to change the place in charge, I don't know if you want to? ”

"Change the place in charge!?" When He Ergou heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded again and again as if a chicken pecked rice: "Okay, my lord, the lowly position is almost moldy in Zhenbei Fort, just asked my lord, where do you want the lowly to be in charge?" ”

"Look, your father-in-law Zhao Dad is in Jingbian Fort, and your daughter-in-law Zhao Cuizhi is also in Jingbian Fort, and your child is only afraid that it will be born in August, so I think it will be otherwise, how about you come to Jingbian Fort to serve as a city guard?"

"Do you want to defend the city again?" He Ergou thought that Liu Renyu would let him lead the troops to the battle, but he didn't think about it, but he just changed places and guarded a bigger city, so he was slightly disappointed.

Liu Renyu saw that He Ergou's expression was different, so he said with relief: "I have already said, your family is in Jingbian Fort, and your child is about to be born, it is best for you to stay in Jingbian Fort at this time, and Jingbian Fort is our most important foundation at present, and we must not lose it, if there is no person I trust to guard, I am very uneasy, so this important task can only be handed over to you." ”

"My lord, then why can Li Jiye go on the expedition? If the lowly position is always unable to go on the expedition, there is no way to get military merits, so now I can only watch the other brothers in front of the thousand generals, and the lowly position is still just a general. He Ergou muttered.

"Hey, I said why do you kid keep worrying about this. I have already told you, Jiye is different from you, he does not have a child who is about to be born, and he has no worries. Therefore, you can defend the city with peace of mind, and wait until after a while, when your child is born, and then you have the opportunity to go on the expedition, I will change someone else to defend the city, let you go on the expedition, and let you earn military merits, how about it? ”

"Thank you so much, sir." When He Ergou saw Liu Renyu make a promise, he thanked him happily.

"No need to say thank you, it's all old brothers, I understand your thoughts. Let me tell you, this time to suppress the thief, I will give you some credit, I believe that after a while you will be the president. ”

"My lord, is that true!?" He Ergou's eyes widened, incredulous.

"How can there be a fake! Do you think I'm going to lie to you? Liu Renyu pretended to be angry.

"How dare you be lowly, how dare you be lowly! That's a humble position, thank you for your cultivation grace. He Ergou saw that Liu Renyu was promoted to an official without saying a word, so he didn't say a word, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed again and again.

"Okay, okay, brother, you don't have to be like this, you get up first, I have an extremely important matter to be handed over to you." When Liu Renyu said this, he suddenly put away his smile, and his expression was extremely serious.

"My lord, what is so important?" Seeing that Liu Renyu was so serious, He Ergou thought it was a great task, but there was a strong tension in his questioning tone.

"Here's the thing, I'm going to get married on the 18th of this month........

"My lord, are you going to get married? Which lady are you going to marry? ”

Liu Renyu was about to say something, but he didn't watch out for He Ergou suddenly opening his mouth and blocking Liu Renyu's words.

"Ergou, listen to me slowly." Liu Renyu was cut off by He Ergou, but he was not annoyed, he continued to explain: "I want to marry Sun Kuisheng Sun's daughter Sun Yuyun Miss Sun, Miss Sun is far away in Yan'an, if I go to pick up my relatives on the 18th, it will be too late, so I plan to take someone to pick up my relatives first, and bring Yuyun and my father-in-law to Jingbian Fort, and then it will be more convenient to visit the church on the day of marriage." Therefore, I specially recruited you, and you followed me to Yan'an to pick up my relatives with no illness. ”

"My lord, it turns out that you are going to marry General Sun's daughter, Miss Sun is showing off her wisdom, and you are really a talented woman, very right, congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, on the day the lord got married, the red envelope of the humble position will definitely be delivered."

"Hehe, Ergou, I'm afraid that I am not the only one you have to prepare for the red envelope." When Liu Renyu heard this, he suddenly smiled and said.

"What do you mean, sir!?" He Ergou wondered.

"In addition to me, Renjie, Jiye, Desheng, Tie Niu, and Wenshan all have to get married on the 18th, and you are only afraid that you will have to prepare 6 red envelopes." Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"No, they actually got married on the same day, this is really, it's really lively." He Ergou was surprised.

"You're right, it's really lively, how about you have a late wedding? Wouldn't it be fun to get together with us! Liu Renyu proposed.

"My lord, I had already worshiped Cuizhi at the head of Zhenbei Fort at that time, and Cuizhi's father was also there at that time, even if this matter was done, now Cuizhi's body is heavy, and it is better not to let her do things like worship."

"In that case, then it is up to you. Ergou, you came to Jingbian Fort, the defense of Zhenbei Fort is not more than proper, right? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, the defense of Zhenbei Fort has been entrusted to your right-hand men."

"That's very good, you are tired, go and meet Cuizhi, and come to the barracks tomorrow to meet me, and follow me to pick up relatives."

"Yes, my lord, I will retire from my position." He Ergou got the order, so he took his leave and left.
