The three of them hurriedly ate this nutritious, but not full meal at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ma Zhong couldn't imagine how this army, which usually ate fish and aquatic plants, and could maintain the brave army with a simple collection of food, could survive.

Their stomachs must be like the most savage beasts, squeezing every drop of nourishment out of their food.

Ma Zhong looked at the bowl in his hand with mixed feelings.

What Sun Quan wanted him to do was not to rectify this chaotic army, but to tame this beast.

This first meal made Ma Zhong eat slowly and think a lot.

Ding Feng is used to the soldiers in the barracks, and he is not interested in foreign affairs, so he lies down and sleeps after eating.

Ma Zhong and Wang Li left the camp tent and prepared to walk around to learn more about the current situation of Captain Wumeng's camp.

Compared with the barracks of the surrounding military marquis, the central camp has more basic defense facilities such as antlers and wooden fences.

When the soldiers on guard saw the two men come out, it took three people to erect the heavy antlers that were lying in front of the camp.

When Ma Zhong was under Lu Su before, the soldiers were all independent villages, and those old and weak women and children were all placed in the four Fengyi inherited by Lu Su from Zhou Yu.

It's the first time I've seen such a military camp with a family in tow.

By this time everyone had already had dinner, and the soldiers went back to the camp early to rest.

Unexpectedly, instead of being deserted, the camp became more lively, and there was a bustling crowd everywhere.

As soon as Ma Zhong left the camp, he heard someone shouting at him.

A handsome little boy of eight or nine years old, who was holding a fist-sized piece of salt at the gate of the camp, shouted crisply when he saw the two of them come out, "My lord, do you want salt?" Just a bucket of brown rice. ”

Ma Zhong was dumbfounded, where did he go to find a bucket of brown rice.

Wang Li took it casually and took a look, and saw that this piece of salt was snow-white and crystalline, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, if this piece of salt is in an ordinary market, it can be exchanged for rice and half a hundred." ”

The kid immediately laughed and said, "How's it going, it's cheap, isn't it?"

Wang Li handed it to him, shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "It's a pity that I can't afford it." ”

Ma Zhong listened, and his face was a little gloomy.

The embarrassment of Captain Wu Meng's camp, he saw it in his eyes, and he no longer had any hope for the worship in this big camp.

If you fish and aquatic plants every day, how can you stand such a big frame.

It's a pity that he and Ding Feng only have two deer skins together, how many bites can they eat here?

What poverty!

Ma Zhong was sad.

The kid listened to Wang Li's words, obviously a little unconvinced, and he didn't insist, he looked around the central camp and asked, "Official, don't you have any family members?" ”

Wang Li was very satisfied that someone called him a big official, and he was a little curious, "What does this have to do with his family?" ”

The boy said, "If you have a family, I can sell you something else." ”

"For example?"

"How's the silk?" The child's eyes lit up, "I have five feet, but unfortunately no one usually buys them." The nearby big cities don't let us get close, and we haven't opened a military market for a long time. ”

"Military market?"

"Well, that's it." The child stretched out his hands and made a big gesture.

Ma Zhong looked around, and the open space between the camp tent and the camp tent was occupied by these old people and children peddling goods.

Most of the transactions here are bartered.

The goods ranged from simple straw sandals, robes, bamboo baskets, clay pots, stone hammers, chainsaws, and chisels to fine vanity mirrors, tin pots with silver ornaments, and stacks of burlap.

This made Ma Zhong feel like he was going to the night market after eating.

In a corner, Ma Zhong actually saw someone selling with a half-stack of bamboo slips.

Can anyone buy this?

Let's talk nonsense, in the entire camp, only himself and Wang are literate.

Ma Zhong strode over, hesitated for a moment, and casually picked up one from the entire pile of bamboo slips one by one.

"Summer, May Xinyou, Guild Qi Marquis Alliance Yu Ai."

Ma Zhong was speechless and picked up another one.

"Faber is handsome and shuai. If you don't write it, it's not a public order. ”

Ma Zhong silently looked at the large stack of bamboo slips in front of him and asked, "How to sell them?" ”

The old soldier with only one arm left squinted at Ma Zhong, "Ten bamboos for brown rice." ”

Ma Zhong was stunned for a moment, and the old soldier gestured with his hand, and Ma Zhong understood what he meant.

To grab is to grab a handful of rice with your hands.

This is a simple and effective way to measure it.

It's just that......

"These slips have some meaning, but if they are broken up like this, they can't be coherent, and they are worthless." Ma Zhong looked at the neat stacks of bamboo pieces, and felt a little pity.

The old soldier suddenly became anxious, "How is it possible, this is knowledge, priceless treasure." Can you find it at leisure? When Sima comes, you prepare some good meat and lead the baby to study, which is a step to the sky. ”

Ma Zhong listened to a clever wit, and then excitedly held the old soldier's rough big hand and shook it.

The old soldier saw him holding his hand and shook it vigorously, wondered in his heart, and said, "Really? ”

Ma Zhong laughed, "Naturally, it's right. ”

Of course, Ma Zhong will not be as shallow as Wang Li, and when he is complimented twice, his tail will rise to the sky.

What Ma Zhong thought of in his mind couldn't match the eight poles that this military man said.

How did I forget, running a cram school is very expensive!

Then the brain opened, and the thinking diverged.

This is not only a business, but it can also quickly win over a group of petty officers with some status, and they all have children at their age......

For example, Ma Zhongyi squinted his eyes, the little guy holding a salt cube?

The child, ignorant, boasted, "My father is a warrior, and I have a lot to sell." If a military market is opened in Yicheng, then I will, I will ......."

The kid froze there.

He didn't even know how to blow the down......

He has been in Pan Zhang's military camp since he was born, was held by his mother, and wandered around with Pan Zhang's army.

A little sensible helps the family sell supplies in exchange for living needs.

The only thing in his eyes is this military camp, and the blood and bumps along the road.

This kid who can't even blow well makes Ma Zhong feel pitiful and pathetic.

Ma Zhong sighed and touched his head, "Alas, the first victim is you." ”

"Huh?" The child's eyes widened, "What is a victim?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Ma Zhong pondered for a while, "Little guy, do you want to learn to read?" ”

"Think, think, think!" The child's eyes lit up and he was a little happy.

"Then how about you give me this piece of salt for tuition? One semester. ”

Ma Zhong continued to touch the child's head.

The handsome boy frowned and reluctantly said, "Then I still don't want it." My piece of salt can be exchanged for many meters, what is the use of learning to read? ”

Before Ma Zhong could say anything, Wang Li was in a hurry.

"The boy is ignorant! If you don't do learning, how can you know etiquette, righteousness and shame, how can you know filial piety and loyalty! You know, isn't the truth of governing the country and the world all in the book? I will only tell you what is in front of you, if you can read and write out of context, even General Pan will look down on you. ”

Ma Zhong's eyebrows raised when he heard this, and he kicked it over, "You get out of here!" If you want to engage in education like you, when will you be able to get rid of illiteracy for all! Go away and let the professionals come! ”
