Chapter 381: Tai Chin Returns

Several scholars echoed their words, saying that they would not return to Jinling City in the future, so they would stay here to learn from each other and study knowledge.

A scholar asked Zhao Zizhong: "Mr. Zhao, our academy is short of teachers now!" I heard that several of your brothers are very knowledgeable. Can you take some time to come out and give us a lesson? ”

Gao Ya interjected: "What you said is a bit of a problem, there are seven brothers, and the other six are all well-educated people. But An Dalang can't do it, he's completely a martial artist, what should we learn from him? ”

Everyone laughed, and Boris said, "Yanai, you have to be careful, if this word reaches An Dalang's ears, he will not spare you easily." ”

Gao Yanei shrunk his neck: "Yes, just because I didn't say it." Everyone, keep your mouth shut, don't say it! ”

A scholar coaxed: "Yanei, it's easy for you to seal our mouths." If you invite us to a seafood dinner in the evening, we will never say anything. ”

Gao Yanei waved his hand arrogantly: "What is this little thing, I have a treat in this Yanai at night." Whoever doesn't go will not give me face. ”

Cao Yongxian saw Zhao Zizhong and Boris talking next to him, so he leaned over and listened.

"Boss, if we have time, let's come to the academy to communicate with these scholars. After all, cultivating these scholars will be very helpful to our future careers. ”

"Yes, I thought, if we don't have time during the day, we can come at night. In fact, the most suitable teachers for them are Lao Wei and Na Zhe, as well as you, Xiao Du is not bad. ”

Zhao Zizhong folded his fingers and calculated: "Lao Wei is very good at mining, exploration, and smelting, he is a typical engineering man, and his theoretical foundation is very solid; Although Xiao Du doesn't read much, he has strong hands-on ability and is very strong in machinery; Although you are a crooked nut, you have a deep study of classical culture, and you have also systematically studied the manufacturing technology of opera and some folk crafts; Na Zhe is very talented in music, and he has practiced calligraphy and painting since he was a child, although he has attacked some things, but even the poetry of the world Li Yu has mastered it, it is not easy, hehe. ”

Boris said: "You've won the prize, boss. Although I have studied some classics, but in this era of humanities, I really can't get my hands on that little thing! ”

Zhao Zizhong waved his hand: "We brothers, we don't have to compete with these scholars for poetry and songs, four books and five classics." Our strength is natural science, and to communicate with these scholars is to instill in them the knowledge of natural science. ”

Boris asked: "And the old seven, why didn't you mention him?" ”

Zhao Zizhong replied: "Lao Qi's body is relatively weak, so don't let him be too tired, let him rest at night." A few of us worked hard to reduce the burden of the seventh child as much as possible. I talked to my godmother a few days ago, and she was very worried about the problem that the seventh child had no heirs. Now she sent someone to arrest Qi Jiuniang back, and she also got several of Lao Qi's concubines back from Mingzhou. Now as soon as Lao Qi comes home at night, he starts to make people, and I don't know if his small body can stand it. ”

The two brothers glanced at each other and snickered, and Cao Yongxian, who was eavesdropping behind them, also sneered.

The two brothers turned around and saw Cao Yongxian covering his mouth, his face flushed, and he tried his best not to laugh.

Boris patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Cao, you must not spread the word about what you heard just now." ”

Cao Yongxian hurriedly swore: "No, no, I didn't hear anything, my mouth is very tight." ”

Zhao Zizhong and Boris breathed a sigh of relief and continued to visit the academy with the scholars. It took more than an hour for everyone to walk through the academy.

Zhao Zizhong said to Cao Yongxian: "You write to your father as soon as possible and ask him to come to Qishan Island to preside over the opening ceremony of the academy." In addition, next month, our brother will get married, so please invite your father to come and watch the ceremony. ”

Cao Yongxian was very pleased: "Then congratulations to a few gentlemen, I will write to my father immediately and send someone to Jinling as soon as possible, you can rest assured." ”

Zhao Zizhong chatted with the scholars for a while, and then took Boris to separate from them.

November 24 of the first year of Qiande (963 AD)

The weather is getting colder and colder, but the various workshops on Qishan Island are still in full swing of production. Now Jinling City and the entire Nantang area are very sought after for all kinds of novelty products on Qishan Island, and all commodities are in short supply.

So Zhao Zizhong and Wei Hongye personally stared at the production work of various workshops, and even Boris, Cui Daoshu, and Na Zhe came over to help from time to time.

At noon, the pier in the east of Qishan Island.

Two fleets headed towards the dock from the north and south, with the northern fleet leading a Seven Seas company ship at the front, followed by five merchant ships.

The southern flotilla consisted of three ships of the Seven Seas Company, followed by four ships transporting supplies.

The two fleets met more than 500 meters from the pier, and Du Dalei, who was standing at the bow of the flagship of the Southern Fleet, was holding a telescope and observing the opposite fleet.

"Hurry up, you kid, it's my turn, right?" An Dalang urged.

Du Dalei looked at the opposite fleet and said, "You're in a hurry, let me take a look at it again." You've been holding on to your binoculars these days, and I haven't played with it a few times. ”

An Dalang stretched out his hand from behind Du Dalei and snatched the telescope. Then a side kick, one kick on Du Dalei's ass, kicked him into a dog's shit, and planted him on the deck.

Du Dalei immediately got up, threw himself on An Dalang, and scuffled with him.

"You bastard, I'm fighting with you!"

The guards and sailors on the deck are accustomed to it, and the two bastards often fight, and they don't have the dignity of a commander at all, and everyone does what they have to do, just treat the two of them as if they were air.

The two fought for a while, and An Dalang successfully pressed Du Dalei under his body and held down his hands.

"Obey, obey, Lao Tzu admits defeat. Don't fucking slap Lao Tzu in the face, otherwise how will Lao Tzu explain to Xiao Hongyu when he goes back! ”

An Dalang snorted before getting up and letting Du Dalei go.

After standing up, he continued to look at the opposite fleet with his binoculars.

"Lao Du, come and see, on the opposite boat is Monk Taiqin, and the handsome guy Shuya."

Du Dalei hurriedly snatched the binoculars from An Dalang's hand and looked at the fleet opposite.

On the deck of a merchant ship, he saw Shu Ya, who was tall and dressed in blue, waving to them. By Shu Ya's side was a sloppy monk Taiqin in a greasy green robe.

An Dalang shouted: "Lean over, lean over, meet an acquaintance." ”

So the sailors on the deck of the ship began to manipulate the sail lines, began to change course, and moved closer to the northern fleet.

Du Dalei put down the binoculars and began to shout: "Monk Taiqin, handsome guy Shu, do you miss Lao Tzu?" ”

At this time, the two ships were less than 100 meters apart, but due to the strong wind and waves on the sea, the opposite side obviously did not hear Du Dalei's shouting clearly.

Shu Ya desperately waved to Du Dalei and An Dalang, but Taiqin took out a small gourd and began to drink as if no one was around.

The two ships got closer and closer, and soon they were parallel, and the sailors got on the gangplank, and with a whoosh, Du Dalei jumped onto the opposite deck.

He hugged Shu Ya, "Haha, do you miss me?" Come, long time no see, kiss first. ”

Du Dalei kissed Shu Ya on the face before letting go of him. Shu Ya shook her head helplessly:

"Lao Du, can't you be serious? made the official's face full of saliva. ”

Du Dalei ignored Shu Ya and walked in front of Tai Qin. He noticed that Taichen had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Du Dalei rarely became serious: "Monk, you have worked hard during this time. Look you're tired. But it's okay, come to us, good wine and good meat are enough. I'll make it up to you for a few days, and you'll be fine. ”

Tai Chin shook his head: "This stinky skin is nothing, but good wine is indispensable." Lord Dushi, where did you come from? ”

At this time, An Dalang also came over. After he greeted Taiqin and Shu Ya, Du Dalei explained: "Monk, handsome guy, we are coming back from Liuqiu. ”

Shu Ya asked curiously, "Liuqiu?" Is it big there? Tell me about it. ”

Du Dalei said: "Of course it's big, it will take us several days to steer the warship and circle around the stream." This big island is almost half the size of your Tang Kingdom. ”

Shu Ya couldn't help but speak: "It's so big!" This is the place where the foundation of the king is achieved! Master, you have been to Liuqiu, is what Lao Du said true? ”

Tai Chin nodded: "It's true, it's really a huge island, and the climate is very suitable. If, according to them, two crops of 'Champa rice' are planted on Liuqiu Island every year, it is estimated that they will not have to worry about food problems in the future. And with the strength of their sailors, no one can threaten them. ”

Shu Ya couldn't help but stammer: "It seems that these brothers have great ambitions!" If they gather enough people, they will definitely make a difference. They'll be terrible! ”

Du Dalei pulled Shu Ya for a moment: "Okay, don't be crooked." The boats are all docked, so let's get down quickly. ”

So several people got off the ship in turn, and Taiqin said to An Dalang: "Lord Anshi, there are three hundred and sixty-seven orphans on the ships behind, as well as some food and supplies. You quickly send someone to take the children down, and then arrange for someone to unload the goods. ”

An Dalang nodded: "No problem, I'll arrange it." Let the guards pick up the children from the boat. ”

Du Dalei leaned over and said, "Da Lang, you tell the guys in the escort team to be careful, their hands and feet are lighter, don't frighten the children." ”
