Chapter 21 The clever plan succeeded

Zhu Wenzhong first gathered forty-seven of his colleagues in the previous army, and recruited all the sturdy young and strong children of the clan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAfter all, there is still 200 yuan per month for food and housing, and there are still many people who come to apply, and a lot of them have been eliminated, and more than 200 people have been gathered to start training.

It's just that there are still difficulties, and there is not even a decent knife and gun in the clan, although there are still some bows and crossbows, but most of them are soft bows for hunting, and they can't shoot dozens of steps. It also takes a lot of money to buy it, and iron tools are quite expensive in this era. Not to mention armor. Only make do with the wooden pole first.

As for Zhu Zhenguo's bitter plan, he has insisted on it for more than a month, and many parents who have naughty children in the clan also rushed their children to run with Zhu Zhenguo, saying that they were to contaminate Wenquxing's literary atmosphere, but in fact, the elders have to work, and the children have no one to manage, and they have a response when they get together, for fear that something will happen.

Zhu Zhenguo still didn't expect this, he didn't expect to run for a month, and the matter was not successful, but there were dozens of naughty children around him, with snot and pus, and after running, Zhu Zhenguo had to take a lot of bread at home and share it with everyone. The grandmother blamed herself for not knowing that the food was not easy to come by, and asked the servants to bake dozens of small cakes every day to share the food.

Zhu Zhenguo doesn't care about the money for dozens of breads a day, but looking at these children with snotty faces, he really can't bear it, and one person can feed a child with a single bread.

As for this bitter meat plan, it has been used for more than a month, although the second uncle has not squeezed anything, and there is no more ridiculous words, but he has not looked at himself squarely, Zhu Zhen's heart can no longer be described as wondering. The only good thing about this month is that it's really effortless to run two laps now, and you can barely walk another lap.

It's not that Zhu Wenzhong doesn't take a good look at his nephew, in fact, Zhu Wenzhong himself is also a little distressed and a little loose, but he has been too busy recently, and it has been a month to put the affairs of the escort team on the right track, and he is thinking about the matter of knives and guns. I really can't spare time to take care of my nephew.

In fact, everything has already changed, Zhu Wenzhong has already made up his mind before that he will never touch a sword, gun, bow and crossbow again in this life, and the precepts of this day have been broken so far, proving that the thresholds in Zhu Wenzhong's heart have been almost loosened.

It's just that he is still a little difficult to get over his nephew's martial arts practice, and he feels that his nephew will be a jinshi in the future, and a jinshi learning martial arts is really a bit of a loss of identity in the Dahua Dynasty. Unlike in ancient times, many literati could dance a good sword, and now the literati also have a lot of swords, but they are all decorative roles, the swords of the literati are inlaid with pearls and gemstones, and they are beautiful, and there are more recently, most of them cater to the martial thoughts of Emperor Chengping. Most of them are saying that although the warriors were defeated, they also dared to put pen to paper and did not hesitate to die for the country.

Zhu Zhenguo arranged for many snot boys, went to the clan school by himself, met with the old master Liu Pingwu, and returned home without staying long. Coming back in a hurry is that Zhu Zhenguo is ready to have a showdown with Zhu Wenzhong again.

Near noon, Zhu Wenzhong also came back, and Zhu Zhenguo specially approached Zhu Wenzhong to meet him and said, "Is the second uncle on his mind lately?" ”

Zhu Wenzhong laughed and said, "Guo'er wants to share the worries of the second uncle?" ”

Zhu Zhenguo is not hypocritical: "My nephew has a solution, I don't know if the second uncle is interested in hearing it." ”

Zhu Wenzhong looked at this nephew pretending to be a serious little adult, and laughed in his heart: "Guo'er said come and listen." ”

"If the second uncle wants to know his nephew's clever plan, he must agree to a request from his nephew." Zhu Zhenguo picked up the shelf and said a serious way.

"Oh... There are also requirements, you are bargaining with the second uncle, not what a junior should do. Zhu Wenzhong also pretended to be serious, and his expression was quite serious.

"The nephew won't say much to you, but this nephew's clever plan will definitely solve the second uncle's worries." Zhu Zhenguo is here for a showdown today, so this serious appearance must be pretended.

"Then nephew, you should first tell me your request to learn martial arts." Zhu Wenzhong said this ridiculously, indicating that he had understood the tricks of this little ghost in his heart.

"My nephew really wants to learn martial arts, my nephew's heart to learn martial arts is getting stronger and stronger, my nephew reads well, and this martial arts also needs to be learned well." Zhu Zhenguo made his attitude clear.

"I know in my heart that Guo'er reads well, but the second uncle also learns martial arts well, but he doesn't believe it, and the country may not be able to endure the hardships of learning martial arts." Zhu Wenzhong's words are no longer as firmly rejected as they were at the beginning, first, this nephew is naturally talented, he doesn't have to work hard to read, and the words he wrote at the age of six made the eldest brother Wenguang praise him so much that he is alone in heaven and earth. The second is that through the last lake bandit robbery, there are also a lot of worries in my heart, if this nephew has three long and two short, it will be really unimaginable, if the nephew knows some martial arts, not to mention fighting with people or something, he will have a better chance of escaping. My heart has slowly loosened a little.

"Can Guo'er endure the hardships of practicing martial arts, the second uncle is afraid that he already has an insight, and his nephew has been able to run down this ten-mile distance for most of the time recently, not at will, you see that most of the Zhuangzi little babies can't run around and wait for the bread at the door of the house." Zhu Zhenguo said with reason.

Zhu Wenzhong was silent for a moment and said, "Then Guo'er, you tell me about the clever plan." Well said, the second uncle may promise you. Zhu Wenzhong also thought about a lot of things that have happened recently, this nephew is not only smart, but also a person with great perseverance, the world is really different, there is always a benefit to learning some martial arts, as long as you don't put down your studies, martial arts are also one more benefit, it is better than becoming an old master who struggles to walk in the future.

Zhu Zhenguo is not hypocritical now, he can't give up the child and can't trap the wolf, and now he is afraid that the second uncle's patience will be limited, so he said: "Second uncle, I saw someone in the city this time." ”

"Who?"

"It's the hundred households in Qingshan City, and the hundreds of households at the city gate said that they admired you very much."

"Huh... Zhu Wenzhong smiled, he was still very happy in his heart, and some people admired him, whether it was true or not, it sounded comfortable in his heart.

"The fourth uncle also invited him to my Zhujiazhuang to eat and drink, and hundreds of households also agreed to come to visit, and it has been a month, but this visit also needs to be invited by our master's family, after all, hundreds of households also have some faces." Zhu Zhenguo continued.

"It's not difficult to invite these hundred households to dinner, the key is what does it have to do with this sword, gun, bow and crossbow?" Zhu Wenzhong didn't react for a while.

"Second uncle, you didn't think much about it, nephew, I thought about it, invite him to drink in vain, you always have to get some benefits, let's give him some generous gifts, let him sell us some of the unused knives and guns in the treasury, although most of them are discarded things, but we also have blacksmiths in the village, a little repair and polishing, many should still be good weapons." Zhu Zhenguo said.

"Good way, this method should work, these things must be piled up in the treasury, even if they are rusted, it is easy to use to rebuild, it is much more economical than buying pig iron to build, my nephew's brain is really smart." Zhu Wenzhong also figured out the joint in his heart, most of the weapons in these warehouses were made in the past, although they were rusted and damaged, but it was also good to take them back to rust and polish them, and they also eliminated the step of hammering pig iron into steel, which not only saved costs, but also saved manpower.

Zhu Zhenguo saw that the second uncle had figured out the joint and said: "If you can, you can also get some strong bows, the brothers of the second uncle are all skilled in bows and horses, and the combat effectiveness without bows is greatly reduced." ”

Wen Zhong thought for a while and said: "The bow and crossbow in the army are forbidden, and the people can't hide them privately, which is a bit inappropriate. "The bow and crossbow in the army are different from the people, and the difference is very big, a good bow in the army, it takes at least three years to make, the process is complicated, first to choose the wood to dry and roast, and then to polish the horn piece, first the wood reverse-curved shape for a year, and then use animal glue to repeatedly paste the horn, several layers coincide, and then to reverse-shape, but also to put in special tung oil and potion to soak, and then to set the drying, the bowstring is also dried with the best beef tendons, and then smashed with a wooden hammer, and then manually kneaded, and finally become a good bow.

The folk hunting bow is basically to split the bamboo into multiple long pieces, dry and smoke, and then shape it with animal glue and attach it to the hemp rope.

Zhu Zhenguo already had a draft in his heart and said: "This matter is solved on both sides, we just need a name, and the matter of having a famous bow and crossbow is not a problem. While communicating with hundreds of households, sending more silver taels, and getting the support of hundreds of households, the eldest brother and the fourth uncle went to find the county master, the reason was that he offended the lake bandits last time, and he wanted to protect the people and give gifts. There are hundreds of households next to it, and it should be possible. ”

Although things are well planned, it depends on people to make things happen, and it should be possible for my uncle, fourth uncle and second uncle to do this.

Zhu Wenzhong thought about it for a long time, and felt that it was feasible, this nephew's surprise to himself was really not ordinary, the six-year-old child really planned things more thoughtfully than himself, if it weren't for the two years that the nephew had been hanging around him, he would not have given this nephew a chance to say these things, I didn't expect to chat with this child casually, and really solved the big thing in my heart, and I was also stunned in my heart: "People often say that the waves of the river, the back waves push the front waves, the country is still a boy can have this plan, the second uncle is really empty for these years." ”

Zhu Zhenguo hit the railway while it was hot: "Second uncle, what about children learning martial arts?" ”

Zhu Wenzhong came back to his senses, looked at Zhu Zhenguo carefully, and hesitated in his heart, and said after a long time: "After learning some hands and feet, it will be more stable to go out." ”

Zhu Wenzhong probably wanted to teach his nephew a little, but he didn't want to really teach his nephew to be a master of martial arts, after all, it was too difficult to become a master, just satisfy his nephew's heart.

Zhu Zhenguo doesn't care so much, as long as he starts teaching, then he can't help the master, the apprentice can learn and understand, does the master still have a reason not to teach. I can't say that I have learned five words, and the master will not teach the sixth word, not to mention that the master is still his second uncle.
