Su Ziheng was leaning over the desk to write the training plan for the training of the guards, when suddenly there was a throbbing in his heart, his hand shook, and the purple pen slipped from his hand and fell on a piece of rice paper where most of the plan was written, staining the entire paper black, obviously unusable.

He sighed, picked up the Zihao pen and put it on the pen holder, picked up the piece of rice paper that had been blackened by the ink, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash.

"This can't be done, although my brush writing is still gone, but this copy plan, there are too many words to write. If you don't pay attention to the brush, you will scrap the whole paper as you did just now, and all the previous writing will be written in vain. Looks like I'll have to make a pencil myself. ”

There are still a lot of ballpoint pens and fountain pens in the warehouse of the base space, but before the research on how to make them, it is still inconvenient to take them out and use them for the time being, otherwise it will be difficult to explain by others.

But the pencil is different, this one is too simple. It is made of graphite and clay, and at most a wooden barrel.

There are a lot of graphite and clay on Jiufu Mountain, and Su Ziheng thinks that when he has time to go into the base space to rummage through the encyclopedia, and then find a skilled craftsman, after making pencils, he can also provide them for the students of the academy.

Just as he was thinking about how to make a pencil, there was a knock at the door of the study.

"Come in!"

Su Ziheng didn't raise his head, and the people who came to his study at this time, except for the limited number of people, no one else would disturb him.

Shi Meng pushed the door in, and smiled at Su Ziheng: "Master, you are looking for me." ”

Su Ziheng handed him half of the training plan he had just sorted out, "Shi Meng, it's been almost a month since you started to read and write, how many words do you know?" ”

"This ......" Shi Meng touched his blue scalp, a tuft of short hair had grown on it, not as bare as before, and his palms were numb to the touch, and it felt good.

Su Ziheng snorted coldly, "Is it that I haven't punished you for copying books in the past few days, and you have relaxed your requirements for yourself again?" ”

Shi Meng laughed twice, but he didn't dare to answer, in case he was wrong, he annoyed the master, but he would be punished and not allowed to eat meat.

Su Ziheng sighed and said: "Shi Meng, I let you read and write, and it is also for your own good, why don't you know to understand the master's hard work?" Forget it, I'm in vain anyway. ”

Seeing that Shi Meng was still smirking, Su Ziheng knew that he definitely didn't take it to heart, so he changed the topic.

"This is the plan I just wrote for training the guards, you take it and read it first, and if you don't understand something, go and ask someone who understands it. Anyway, I don't care how you figure it out, within three days, I want you to lead those 100 nurses to start training. ”

Shi Meng took the half of the plan, didn't look at it, folded it and put it in his arms. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a masked man standing outside the window, not very tall, who took out a dart from his bag and went straight to the study.

"Where did you come from, you don't know how to live or die, dare to assassinate my master in front of the Sprinkle family, it's just looking for death!"

Shi Meng's eyes swelled, and with a slight hook of his right foot, he picked up a wooden chair on his side, and smashed it straight in the direction where the dart came from.

"Boom", the dart is nailed to the wooden bench and falls to the ground with the stool.

Look at the masked man outside the window, he is gone.

As soon as Shi Meng wanted to get up and chase after him, Su Ziheng hurriedly stopped him, "The heart is out of the mountain." ”

When Shi Meng heard this, he rushed out and hurriedly returned to the study. Sujiazhuang has a population of nearly 500 people now, and there are only two or three real masters in it.

In case someone really used a trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, it would be very dangerous to put the master alone in the study.

Shi Meng picked up the stool that fell to the ground, and suddenly let out a "huh" and pulled out the dart on the stool, "Master, there is a note on this dart." ”

Su Ziheng said in a deep voice: "Take it over and show it to me, and see what is written on it." ”

Shi Meng was worried that someone would poison the note, so he pulled out the dagger he was carrying, picked the note from the dart, unfolded it, and saw eight words written on it, "Close the door of the village, don't go out." ”

"Who is this person, and why did the darts pass me such a sentence?" Su Ziheng muttered in a low voice, and then looked out the window, the person who came had long since disappeared.

Suddenly, his gaze froze and fell on the juanxiu font, "This word is so familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere." ”

With that, he hurried back to his desk, rummaging through the letters he had written for the last few days. Finally, his gaze fell on one of the letters, which was Ji's handwriting.

"Yes, what exactly is she trying to hint at me? Why didn't she come to see me in person, was there something delayed? ”

For a while, Su Ziheng's thoughts were chaotic. During this time, he has been busy with the workshop and the locust plague, and he has not entered the city to inquire about her, does he care too little about her?

Thinking that the housekeeper Qian Lu reported the news to him and sent the ingredients to Ji, there was no one who saw her. Su Ziheng was thinking about whether he would take some time to go to the city tomorrow and meet her.

In addition, I heard that Zhao Chengwen had already set off for Jiangnan, and I promised him that he would take good care of Zhao Wan'er, and just take her back to Zhuangzi tomorrow. It's too unsafe to leave her alone in the Zhao Mansion.

"Shi Meng, it seems that there is nothing wrong, you go down first, take a good look at the training plan I gave you, I hope to see you practice the nursing home in the next few days."

For some reason, seeing the note just now, Su Ziheng had a very ominous premonition, as if the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of signs.

Reminiscent of a passage that Zhao Chengwen had secretly talked with him some time ago: There has been a recent change in the Mengyuan Empire, and the Great Khan Meng Ke is secretly dispatching troops.

Seem...... It's going to break out the rhythm of war!

Su Ziheng didn't expect that he could train a special forces unit that would win all battles, at least in the face of the enemy, he would dare to pick up the weapons in his hands and resist.

Right now, there was obviously not enough time for him to train an elite army, and he didn't dare to train like that. If you recruit a nursing home for military training, in this era of imperial power, it is an act of death, if someone secretly informes, you will be exterminated in a few minutes.

A showman, even if the family has assets, it is already a great thing to recruit a few nursing homes, and you still dare to train in the way of the army, do you want to rebel?

Su Ziheng naturally didn't dare to take such a big risk to train the guards, and even the guards he recruited were not all recruited into the manor in the name of the nursing home. Many of them are still tenant contracts and are recruited to open up farmland.

In order to prevent the displaced people from making rebellion, the government has turned a blind eye to the recruitment of slaves and tenants by all large families in the territory, as long as it is not too outrageous, and if something like that recruits thousands of people happens, generally about 100 tenants will agree.

As for whether you are worried about the big families in Liangzhou? The government is really not worried at all. The Zhongjia Army, the four most elite armies of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, was stationed in Liangzhou, which one was not afraid of death and dared to cause chaos in Liangzhou?

The Zhong family army can wipe you out in minutes!
