Chapter 31: Read wisely
"Tianxingjian, a gentleman with self-improvement ・・・・・・ the way of cultivation, care about one heart, say strong mind, said healthy physique・・・・・・"
After several days of study, Qingyang was finally able to understand the first paragraph of text on the leather scroll. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although there are only more than 30 characters, and they are translated into the Great Xia script from the ancient script, and then translated into the Xingguo script, I don't know how much mystical content has been lost in the middle.
Qingyang still felt that every word was telling an esoteric meaning, and he carefully chewed the meaning of this text word by word: cultivation is not only one-sided to make the body strong, but also to make the body strong and the mind strong to make people become a real person.
If a person does not have his own thoughts, and does not analyze the truth, then he is not a real and complete person, and can only be regarded as a vassal of others.
It seems to make sense, but it's too hard to learn ancient characters and ponder the content of the exercises!
What is recorded in the scroll is not only the basic practice of body forging and channeling, but also other feelings, questions about the Heavenly Dao, and many interpretations written by the writer on the scroll at the same time.
Since the day after the autumn harvest, Qingyang began to practice under the guidance of Qiu Niang.
Unlike what Qingyang expected, Qiu Niang asked him to learn the six basic cultivation movements before the body forging technique before he could start the body forging.
"The ancestors since the beginning of the primeval period, with wisdom to imitate the creation of a hundred beasts, observe nature to create words, so that they can control all things, the text to carry the Tao, this text is the closest to the existence of heaven and earth.
This exercise is written by ancient sages, read more books to be wise, otherwise blindly practice hard, even if you work hard, you are just a reckless man, and when the Lord can read through this exercise in ancient texts, you will naturally understand the words of the concubine when you go to school! ”
I don't know if it's a delusion, but after repeatedly reading through this practice method, Qingyang felt that Lingtai was clear, his memory had become much better, and the speed of learning Xingguo script and Daxia script had been much faster.
When he looked at the leather scroll again, Qingyang suddenly closed his eyes.
Sure enough, the first picture that was originally esoteric and difficult to understand appeared clearly in front of him, although Qingyang still didn't understand the meaning of these pictures, but he was able to remember every detail of the picture clearly, no wonder Qiu Niang always said to read to be wise.
After days of study, Qingyang has understood that even if you don't understand what those words and pictures mean, it is a great progress to be able to remember the content first, and everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you can remember the detailed content, it is no longer difficult to understand it slowly.
Before he started to practice, Qingyang obviously felt that his weak body was much stronger than before, but the amount of food had also increased significantly by one or two times.
Qiu Niang didn't say anything, and quietly added a meat dish to each meal with a smile.
It's pitiful, it's obviously a lord and nobleman with a large area of fiefdom, but the food is extremely miserable, only simple corn and wild vegetables every day, and the meat is not there, but he still only eats two meals a day, which is really terrible.
Fortunately, in order to motivate the people to work during the autumn harvest, the big fat pig that was secretly slaughtered was a lot of fun, and Qiu Niang considered leaving two big hind legs for Qingyang in the long run, so that she could at least eat one meal of meat every day during this period of practice.
Qingyang shook his head and stopped thinking about these messy trivialities, he must become strong as soon as possible, and he didn't expect to have the strength of a sixth-grade first-class warrior like Zhong Bo in a short period of time, how could he reach the threshold of the nine-rank warrior realm within a year, right?
Not to mention that when you turn fifteen years old in a year and a half, you will have to lead your troops to fight in the northern frontier, and when you encounter the assassins again in the future, you can at least avoid the assassins and wait for reinforcements!
Outside the window, there was the sound of Lian Po performing martial arts, the black-faced young man was training Yu Hai, Fang Jun, and He Jia to forge their bodies, Zhong Rui's injuries had not yet recovered and he was still recuperating, only these three young men who had been accepted by the lord as preparatory retainers had received various trainings first.
The three teenagers all have a certain foundation in martial arts, although they did not receive education in the past such as culture and battle formations, but they come from the families of soldiers and have some family inheritance of combat skills, and it can be seen that the three teenagers are very serious in their studies.
This is the force that the fiefdom has temporarily, it takes too much time to grow, will Dr. Fei, who is hiding behind the scenes, give these teenagers time to grow up?
I'm afraid that Ji Shi will continue to provoke and make trouble!
Since Ji Li came once under the banner of visiting Ji Dan, Qingyang knew that Ji would never give up after the failure of his plan this time, but he didn't know how Ji would make a move next time.
Thinking of this, Qingyang was inevitably impatient, Zhong Bo was in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and he would not be able to return if the Xianyu army did not retreat, and now the Ji clan had a conspiracy with bad intentions, and the mastermind behind it was likely to be Doctor Fei.
Whether it is the relatively fertile well field of their own sealed soil, or the piles of exotic beast bones in the mountains and forests, there are too many reasons for people to fight.
Qingyang's heart was tight, and the matter of secretly refining salt from Yanze must not be leaked out, and he would have to go to Cheng's salt mine to buy salt in the future.
In the next room, there was the chattering voice of Qiu Niang, which was counting the contribution of the leaders during the autumn harvest, and several family members of the soldiers were fighting.
Qiu Niang looked at the account book and seemed to be complaining that the lord was too generous, and she had to distribute a lot of food this year.
Of course, nagging is nagging but will never forcefully reject the decision of the head of the family, which is related to the authority of the head of the family, and Qingyang is more satisfied with Qiu Niang's point.
Qingyang crossed his fingers and counted the strength he currently had on hand, in addition to the families of those soldiers and servants, the biggest source of strength he could rely on was actually those slaves at home, after all, it was these slaves who had the most men in the fiefdom now.
What is it necessary to further win the loyalty of these slaves to die for themselves? Slavery?
Just kidding, how can such a backward thing make the slaves serve themselves?
But in the dozens of vassal states in the entire Northern Wilderness, this cruel and barbaric slavery prevailed, and kings, secretaries, doctors, and scholars were martyred and killed everywhere.
"No, this won't work!"
Qing Yang frowned and thought about it, although in the past, the Qing clan treated these slaves dozens of times better than those lords around them, but this was not enough.
The best way to win the hearts of these slaves was to grant them the status of nationals and make them legitimate nationals.
In this way, it will offend the feudal lords of the entire Xing Kingdom, and even the nobles of the entire Northern Wilderness, Qingyang, as the pioneer of the abolition of slavery, is likely to be collectively attacked by these nobles who have a large number of slaves.
Is it possible to promote an abolitionist movement?
Qingyang felt that he was in pain!
But if you want the Qing clan to be stronger, you must completely abolish the slavery system of your own fiefdom! Improving social productivity is the most important thing! Only by showing these slaves great hope can they serve their lives faithfully!
"Uhhh
Well? There was a sound of horns in the distance, and after a while, the farmer's retainer Prin, who had been specially arranged to guard the entrance of the territory, came running out of breath.
"My lord, the Ji clan has sent a messenger again, and it is said that the head of the Riji clan, Corporal Ji Dan, is coming to visit!"
"Hehe, he sent his retainer yesterday, and he came forward today, so let him come and see the results of his calculations, I don't know what kind of face he will look like when he sees our autumn harvest is over?"
Qingyang sneered faintly, and then shouted loudly to Lian Po to explain, "Please trouble Qiu Niang to inform the old man (Dragon Sparrow) to know, and the Ji clan of tomorrow will play other tricks!" ”
