At night, Shen Kang sat on the desk, carefully wrote down the principles and methods of rice crab cultivation one by one, and the precautions were written clearly and clearly, so that Zhang Xian could implement or report to the court in the future.

Liu Shu handed over a cup of hot tea, changed his hand and draped the single clothes on his shoulders, and said softly: "San Lang, write again tomorrow, you don't have to be so diligent when you are young, and it is too tiring to be in the middle of the night." ”

Shen Kang raised his hand to take the tea, took a sip between his lips, and put the teacup back in its place, but his eyes never left the case.

Liu Shu counted his fingers and said: "In the past few months of coming to the academy, you got up early to practice in the morning, went to school during the day, and went into the library building after school, and practiced calligraphy at night, and only came back from home today and had to stay up late." Are you going to burn yourself out? Let's take a break. ”

Shen Kang turned his eyes to look at him and smiled: "Not today, the county lord has every opportunity to seek the well-being of the people of Xiping County, I have to let him feel at ease as soon as possible." ”

Liu Shu shook his head slightly, and said, "I can't resist you, I'll prepare some snacks for you later." ”

"Thank you."

Liu Shu turned around and muttered something, and said with a smile: "The people of Xiping County have a plan, and they will be developed in the future, and everyone praises their parents for implementing a government that benefits the people, and who will say a word of thanks to San Lang?" I can't say, there are villains who secretly laugh at San Lang's idiocy and tell others about this profitable way to make money. ”

"Foolishness is stupidity, people can't be greedy."

"Hey." Liu Shu shook his head, but smiled: "The festival is approaching, the little one wants to send a letter to Ying Tianfu to greet the master, what do you want to bring?" ”

Only then did Shen Kang raise his head, turn his eyes to look at Liu Shu, and smile: "Yes!" That's right! It's going to be the New Year again. ”

He smiled, turned his eyes to look at Shen Chang, who was snoring, and said, "I have to send a letter to Mr." He opened the book he had been reading lately, and was turning a half-written letter between the pages.

Spread out the paper, wrote down the books and opinions that he had read recently, and explained the changes that had occurred in his family, as well as Shen Chang's upcoming trip to martial arts.

I saw that the tips of the hair fell on the paper in a dashing manner, and before I knew it, thousands of words were sprinkled.

Most of the letters written by the ancients were concise, and it was rare for someone like Shen Kang to write several at once.

He held the last piece of paper, blew the ink, and then happily folded it and handed it to Liu Shu.

Liu Shu smiled: "San Lang really misses the master." ”

Shen Kang smiled low and replied, "Yes, seriously, I miss Mr. very much." His eyes were staring at the candle flame, and for a moment, he remembered listening to Liu Yuan talk about the truth of how to behave in the ink shop, tasting tea in the small pavilion, and talking about plum and bones under the wind and snow.

Retracted his gaze, regained his pen and ink, and continued to write the detailed rules for rice crab cultivation.

The moon outside the window is a semicircle, the floating clouds float over the treetops, and the breeze is sandwiched with withered yellow leaves.

The next day, it was even colder.

Liu Shu sent the thin volume of "Rice Crab Essentials" written by Shen Kang to the county office, and then rushed to the post post and sent the letter out.

The next day, Shen Chang was about to leave Luming Academy, and after school, Jiang Liusu, Wang Lucao, Bai Qichang, Song Yuan and other familiar classmates made a game, and invited the two brothers of the Shen family to eat at the Luoxia Restaurant in the county seat, so as to say goodbye to Shen Chang.

More than a dozen teenagers gathered together, and it was natural for the scene to be lively.

Jiang Liuxuan laughed and said: "I still remember the first time we talked about thinking in Minglun Hall that day, Shen Erlang never spoke, but when he talked about the Battle of Yashan, he started to shoot the case. ”

He followed Shen Chang's example, slapped his palm on the table, straightened his back, and said: "The world often says that the pillars of the country are the pillars of the country, but what are the pillars!" That's a beam purlin! It's a beam! It is the Wood which can make the house beam! Girder, who can bend over! ”

Most of the people didn't see the scene of that day, but they just watched Jiang Liu's vivid learning, but they all felt enthusiastic.

Wang Luan's face was slightly red, and he said sneeringly: "Brother Shen, what a temperament!" ”

Jiang Liushu said: "But I didn't expect that you, an honest person, really chose this most direct way to be loyal to the country." He shook in front of Shen Chang, bent down slightly to look at his expression, and asked, "You really don't care about the low rank of the general?" ”

Shen Chang was a little embarrassed, and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and replied: "I am the son of a peasant family, where do I care about anything high or low, as long as it is useful to the state." Speaking of this, he grinned and said: "Thank you classmates for practicing for Yanghao, let's replace wine with tea today, thank you!" ”

Wang Lu drank until he was half drunk, fanned his chest, and said with a smile: "Drink some bars!" ”

Thinking of the ugliness of being drunk that day, and having a headache after a hangover, Shen Chang turned his eyes to look at Shen Kang.

Shen Kang nodded slightly and said, "Where the love is, the second brother will drink." ”

Although Shen Chang was a little afraid, he also felt that it was not good to drink this scene, so he called the wine glass, and then arched his hand and said: "Yanghao is not good at drinking, don't laugh." ”

Wang Lucao's eyes were slightly sluggish, and the nobility of Xiang Su was even more prominent, he slowly closed the fan, raised his glass and said: "We will meet again in the future and be the pillars together." ”

Everyone toasted together: "!" ”

Coming out of the restaurant, it was already dark, and Wang Lucao asked, "Take my carriage back to the academy." ”

Shen Kang waved his hand and said, "Thank you Brother Wang for your kindness, it's just that my family has already bought a house in the county, and it is getting late today, so I won't go back to the academy." ”

Wang Lucao was a little surprised, the Shen family was able to buy a property in the county, and when he thought of rice crabs, he understood.

He nodded and said, "It's convenient, then I'll send you home." ”

"Thank you, Brother Wang." The two thanked each other and boarded the carriage of the palace.

Shen Kang lifted the curtain and said to the handlebar: "Tired, Qingliang Lane on East Street." ”

"Yes." The handlebar style should be lowered.

Wang Lucao turned his eyes to look at Shen Chang and asked, "Brother Shen, what are your plans for the future?" ”

Shen Chang didn't seem to understand, what are you going to do?

Entered the martial arts, advanced his studies, came to Japan to take the martial arts test, and fought for the country.

Seeing Shen Chang's blank expression, Wang Lucao shook his head slightly, opened the folding fan with a "snap" and said: "Martial arts aims to cultivate generals, but in the Ming generation, how many famous generals are there in the world?" ”

Shen Kang knew that Wang Lucao was going to give Shen Chang dry goods.

Just listen intently, and don't interrupt.

Shen Chang wondered, "Why is this?" ”

Wang Lucao slowly fanned his chest and said: "Martial arts is different from the academy, it doesn't matter whether you are good or bad during your studies, you can get an official position because of martial arts, and the questions in martial arts... But it's nothing. This is why there are more brave and good generals in martial arts, but few generals who are strategic. ”

He paused, and then continued: "Today, there are Japanese Kou Beiyu eyeing the tiger, and my emperor attaches more importance to martial arts than in previous generations. However, the background of the martial arts examination is not as good as the imperial examination, and after entering the officialdom, the background of the martial arts examination is even more despised by the literati. Yang Hao, do you want to be a general or a general? ”

Shen Chang clenched his fists slightly: "General." ”

Wang Lucao nodded unexpectedly and said, "First, don't only focus on martial arts and ignore the strategy and the art of war. Second, we must learn to blend in with those old rotten Confucians and gain their support. You, got it? ”

Although Shen Chang is straightforward, he is thorough at all.

He understood that if he wanted to be a general, he must know how to ask for strategies and strategies, which is a prerequisite. And if you want to be a big official, you must learn to communicate with civil officials, which is all telling him not to think that being a military attache does not need to use his brain.

Wang Lucao smiled and patted Shen Chang's shoulder, and said slowly: "Confucian general, it's a shortcut." After speaking, he looked at Shen Chang cautiously, and then laughed again: "What is going on, it depends on Yang Hao himself." ”
