With Lao Liu taking the lead, in the next few days, many landlords in Lanxi sent their children and grandchildren to study. Most of them are small landlords, and the landlords of hundreds of acres of land at home are actually not very rich, and they even have to work in the fields when they are busy.

But it is still very generous to have the opportunity to let children and grandchildren read and open their eyes. Ten pieces of bacon, five stones of rice, and even have to spend money on stationery, but they are all unambiguously paid.

Yang Dayan has been very happy these days, and the bunched bacon sent at his own expense has filled his room. A student has ten pieces of bacon, each of which is at least two catties, and he has already received no less than 20 self-funded students, and more than 200 pieces of bacon.

Even the food in the Li family's compound has improved a lot, and there is bacon to eat every day.

The students who were admitted in, Li Xiao did not divide them into separate classes, but arranged a unified examination with the children of the previous tenants, and divided them into two classes A and B according to the foundation. One has no foundation and no foundation at all.

In this way, there are about 20 people in each class, which is not only easy to manage, but also makes the progress of students in the same class consistent.

The students live in Tongpu, the conditions are more difficult, fortunately they have a fire kang, but it is not cold, everyone is treated equally, no one enjoys any special treatment, even if the grandfather donated a cow, five stone rice and a hundred catties of bacon to the school Liu Huizu, he also has to sleep honestly in the Datongpu.

A class of more than 20 students slept in a room, spread in two rows along the wall, with dry straw underneath, and a pair of bedding for each person.

Wake up on time every day and blow out the lights to bed.

After getting up in the morning and washing up, I first went outside to run five miles, and then did a queue morning exercise. This morning workout was personally led by Li Xiao, and Guo Dabiao led the team, the students dared to be lazy, he roared loudly, and his big eyes glared, which could immediately scare people.

After the morning exercise, the students had breakfast.

Breakfast was okay, two yellow noodles per person, a bowl of millet porridge, and a vegetable soup. Those who have money can enjoy a little special treatment here, they only need to pay an additional fee, they can order white flour steamed buns, or soup cakes, or add two eggs in advance.

At this point, Li Xiao is more open, anyway, their family has conditions, and it doesn't matter if they eat better. It's just that if you want to eat well, you have to add food expenses.

The standard meals provided by the school are free of charge.

Lunch and dinner are slightly better, with noodles and wotou as the main dishes for lunch and noodles and vegetables for dinner. Lao He is in charge of the food, and the food tastes average, but it is definitely full.

If the student is not full, he can ask for another addition, as long as it is not wasted.

This group of landlords' children enrolled in school, and only three days after the class started, under Li Xiao's kind of exercise, they couldn't bear it, and some people shouted that they wanted to drop out of school.

But Li Xiao didn't pay attention to it at all, and didn't want to leave when he came in.

Crying and not getting out of bed?

Directly let Da Biao carry it to punish the frog jump, and you will regret the jump. If the food is unpalatable, he will be punished for cleaning the canteen, washing dishes, and even cleaning the toilet.

Five miles of running in the morning, when the run is over, when will there be breakfast.

Reading is not easy, after morning exercise, you have to read in the morning, and you have to memorize how many sentences you have to memorize every day, and if you can't memorize it, you will be punished for standing, and you even have to be beaten in the palm of your hand.

After a set, those students who dropped out of school and were trained more ruthlessly did not dare to speak up.

In fact, the most difficult thing to adapt to is the first few days, I am not used to eating, I am not used to living, I am doing morning exercise and reading, but after a few days, I have begun to adapt.

As soon as the lights go out every night, the young students, who have been tired all day, soon fall asleep.

The children of the landlords felt that being in school was as miserable as hell, but the children of the tenants felt that it was as happy as heaven.

I can eat enough every day, and I can sleep warmly, I have never had such a good life. There are so many friends who can play together, as for running five miles in the morning, what is it. It's not good to be trained in the queue at the morning exercise station, and it's not a matter at all.

The landlords and cubs think that the yellow noodles are unpalatable, and they want to add vegetables to eat white steamed cakes, they don't like it, they are all free, and they can eat a few if they want.

Compared to herding cattle and sheep, chopping wood and pulling grass, the current life is simply not too comfortable, many children have only been in for a few days, and their faces are already rosy, and their bodies are beginning to grow meat.

After the first ten days, the landlords and cubs had almost adapted to the students and life here.

When their parents sent someone to pick them up and take them home, no one felt like hell anymore and wanted to escape.

After all, after ten days of life, a group of classmates of the same age slowly got acquainted with each other and slowly established some friendships.

The school has a ten-day holiday, and Li Xiao finally has some time, and he has to keep an eye on these children every day, which is quite tiring.

When he was free, he also prepared some gifts and went to Chang'an City to visit Xie Xue's family.

Xue Rengui, who was in his forties, seemed to be much younger all of a sudden, wearing the silver armor given by the emperor and riding a horse and wielding a lance on the martial arts arena in the back garden of his house, mighty and majestic.

Seeing Li Xiao coming, he was very happy, dismounted and unarmed, and pulled Li Xiao into the house to say the law.

"Last time, Gorou came back from you, and said that your ondol was very comfortable, so I had to make one at home. I tried it, it's really good, this cold winter wax moon, compared to burning the charcoal fire is very comfortable, no fireworks, but also warmer, sit on the kang during the day to read a book and drink tea, sleep directly on the kang at night, that is a warm drop very ah. ”

Xue Rengui directly pulled Li Xiao to sit on the kang, and he didn't treat him as an outsider anymore, but directly treated him as his own nephew.

"I thought about it later, you said that it was freezing in Liaodong, and it was very difficult to garrison after autumn every year. The first difficulty is that the grain and grass are cut off, and the second difficulty is that it is freezing in the cold, especially at night. You said that if this kind of kang is also built in the barracks of the castle in Liaodong, and the soldiers sleep on this kang at night, won't it be able to greatly defend against the cold? ”

Li Xiao arched his hand, "Xue Gong is worthy of being a famous general of wisdom and bravery, and when the little nephew was on this kang he just wanted to be more comfortable in winter, but Xue Gong suddenly thought of using it in the military, which is really powerful." ”

"Hahaha, don't pat this sycophant, to say that your kang is really a good thing, it saves a lot of money than burning charcoal, and the heating effect is better, your brain is really powerful sometimes, just like you can invent the secret recipe for better decolorization of frosted sugar."

"By the way, have you had anything new lately?" Xue Rengui said suddenly.

Li Xiao almost didn't keep up for a while, how could there be so many novelties.

"Don't hide it with me, the fifth man runs to Lanxi's house every once in a while, the horses have lost a lot of weight, he knows everything you have. The burning knife he brought back the day before yesterday is a good thing, and after drinking it, the whole person is like a fire, no wonder it is called a burning knife. How did you get that burning knife wine, did you bring some this time? ”

As soon as he heard about the burning knife wine, Li Xiao felt colic in his heart.

He had nothing to do and steamed some soju, but he didn't steam it to drink, but planned to make some flower water or something, thinking that it could be sold as perfume. Who knew that Xue Wu came that day, and after finding out, he unceremoniously took it and drank it.

This bastard drank it himself, and took the last bit away.

Now Xue Rengui actually asked directly and shamelessly, Li Xiao really wanted to say, Old Xue, you are really welcome.

But jokes aside, the Xue family is really good to him, and there is a way to repay him.

Lao Xue's family is a general, and it is normal for him to like to drink some soju.

"The little nephew came here today and happened to bring a bottle of burning knives."

"It's only a bottle, why don't you bring more?" As soon as Xue Rengui heard that there was a burning knife, he immediately perked up, "Don't you know, yesterday General Cheng came to my house as a guest, and let him find the burning knife that Gorou brought back, and after drinking it, he was greatly admired, and while sighing, he played with the axe in public, and finally almost cut off a pillar in the verandah of my house." ”

"When General Cheng left yesterday, he repeatedly told him that I must send him some of this burning knife."

"General Cheng? General Cheng Mingzhen or General Cheng Biting Jin? Li Xiao asked, the general surnamed Cheng in the court today seems to be these two people, Cheng Yanjin is old, the name is bigger, the famous general at the time of the founding of the country, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

And Cheng Mingzhen is now the governor of Yingzhou, guarding western Liaoning, and was a civil official at the earliest, but he is also very capable of fighting.

"Cheng bites Jin Cheng, old man, he is the one who can be the last old general in the court. Fierce and brave, even if he is a general of the younger generation, there are few who can compare with him in terms of bravery. ”

Old Cheng Meng, so he likes spirits.

He didn't like the sweet and sour wine of Sanle Pulp, and he didn't like the green ant rice wine, but this burning knife made him appetite as soon as he drank it.

In Lao Cheng's words, this person has to ride the strongest horse, drink the strongest wine, and go to the strongest woman!

Lao Xue thought so, Lao Xue and Lao Cheng had a very good relationship, to put it bluntly, Lao Xue had actually always treated Lao Cheng as half a master, he respected this battlefield veteran very much, and usually visited and studied.

Lao Xue thinks that Lao Cheng has a straight temperament, but he is a very wise veteran, he doesn't like veterans such as Li Ji, Su Dingfang, and Xue Wanche very much, and thinks these people are a little too complicated.

"Xue Gong likes it, the little nephew will go back and get a few more bottles."

"Is this burning knife a hassle?"

"It's not too much trouble, it just costs some food. Moreover, the imperial court had a ban on private brewing too much wine, so they did not dare to brew more, and the koji was not easy to buy. ”

Xue Rengui slapped his leg, "What kind of trouble is this, I will let you send it to you, and you don't have to worry about the ban on the official, and the private brewing of some wine is not for sale, it is not prohibited." Wait a minute, you bring that bottle of burning knives, and I will take you to visit General Cheng's mansion. ”

Cheng Yanjin is the founding general, or the hero of Lingyan Pavilion, and his status is respected among the military generals in the DPRK and China, that is the real military boss, if Li Xiao can enter Cheng Yanjin's house to visit, then Li Xiao will have another backer.

"Thank you, Xue Gong."

"Thank you, I like your straight nature, General Cheng is also that kind of person, when you arrive at Cheng's Mansion, it's good to be the same as usual, don't be too restrained, that won't make the old general like it."
