Chapter 33: The Academy

Under the eaves, between the branches, the upside-down shiny ice picks shone with a faint light, long or short, thick or thin, and so on, and occasionally a gust of wind blew, and the snow powder swept through the air one after another, and in the blink of an eye, it blended into that piece of snow white, and there was no trace of it.

There were bursts of neat shouts in the distance, it was the soldiers training, and the smoke began to rise, in this era, three meals a day is more luxurious, most of them are still two meals a day, at this time, it should be preparing the first meal. Li Qing grabbed a handful of snow from the windowsill, pressed it on his face and rubbed it vigorously, so that his head, which still had a headache, was a little more sober, he was a little too indulgent these days, and blamed himself in his heart, if he let himself be too relaxed, Li Qingzhen was worried that he would slack off, and now the long march of thousands of miles has only taken the first step!

On the flat ground in front of the door, the guards had already swept away the snow, revealing the ground that had only been tamped down and was frozen extremely hard, Yang Yidao and Tang Hu and other guards were practicing martial arts there, although it was very cold, but this group of men were all stripped and only wore a pair of nose pants, and their bodies were steaming hot, shouting loudly to practice.

For the training of ordinary soldiers, Li Qing does not have too high personal requirements, but focuses on battlefield discipline and the spirit of not fearing death and moving forward bravely, but for his own personal guards, it is natural that the higher the personal kung fu, the better.

grabbed his clothes and put them on in twos and threes, thinking about where he should go to see first, whether to go to the newly built school to watch the training of recruits, or to go to Xu Yunfeng to see the work of teaching fields!

For Xu Yunfeng and Lu Yiming, Li Qing is still quite satisfied, the two of them are worthy of being good at internal affairs, they put forward an idea and a line of thought, in a short period of time, the two came up with a feasible plan and steps, the county government team is basically enriched, the original county government team is basically run out, dead, the existing set of people is basically re-recruited, there are too few readers, many are illiterate guys, but the victory is in the steadfastness, there is no previous fritters sophistication, in comparison, Li Qing also prefers the current set of people.

Opening the bedroom door, a cool breeze blew, Li Qing couldn't help but shudder, stretched out his hand to tighten the clothes on his body, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, in this damn era, there are not even flowers, and I don't know what is stuffed in this jacket, it's slight, not so warm! frowned and thought about it, Mianhua seems to have been introduced to the Central Plains from ancient India or Arabia, probably at this time, Dachu did not have this east. Down? Dream on!.

Seeing Li Qing come out, all the guards rushed up to salute, Li Qing smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to do their own thing, and the guards saw the general standing on the side, but they worked harder.

Yang Tang and the others didn't dare to slack off, so they put on their clothes and stood on Li Qing's side, "My lord is going to go out for a walk?" Yang Yidao asked, "It's better for me to wait for the adults to eat before going out!" ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Anyway, it's this time, wait for which side of the barracks we go to eat with the soldiers!" ”

Tang Hu said admiringly: "General, you are really sympathetic to the soldiers, I, Tang Hu, have been a soldier for so many years, and I have never seen a dignified general and a small soldier often eat together." ”

Li Qingdao said: "What's so strange about this, don't forget, not long ago, wasn't I still a little Yunlu captain?" Now even you are the captain of Zhenwu. ”

Tang Hu grinned and said with a smile: "That's it, I was blind in one eye at that time, and I thought I wouldn't live long, but Huzi was lucky, and he actually met the general, not only survived, but also prospered, anyway, from now on, my Tang Hu's life will be sold to the general." ”

Yang Yidao felt the same way, at that time, he was also thinking that he would die, and he could have this encounter, and every time he thought about it in the dead of night, he felt a little incredible. Now that he has brought his wife and daughter, the family is happy, and he misses Li Qing even more in his heart.

While gossiping, the three of them walked towards the old camp, and after walking for a while, Li Qing suddenly heard the sound of a boy reading in his ears, and couldn't help but be very strange, "Where is this sound of reading?" ”

Yang Yidao said with a smile: "The general has been very busy these days, but he doesn't know that this is the order of Xu County, and there are many children in the old camp at the moment, so he built a school and invited two gentlemen to teach the boys to read!" Anyway, now that there are enough supplies in the old camp, these boys don't have to dig holes and find birds like before. Mr. Xu said that if you want to tie a hitch to these little wild horses, in a few years, these people will be able to become the hope of Chongzhou! ”

Li Qing nodded again and again, he didn't expect Xu Yunfeng to be so prescient, at this time, reading is still a very luxurious thing, not to mention anything else, just pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, how can ordinary people afford it? Now that Chongxian County is rich, the county can pay for these children to enlighten.

"It's just that a few years ago, Zichong County organized the county government team, and almost all the literate people were swept away, and even the slaves went to inquire one by one, and all the literate people have been selected to the county government and camp, but where did this gentleman who teaches students come from?" Li Qing is a little strange, whether it is Chongxian or Changshengying, it is now the grass stage, everyone is too busy to get their feet, but where do they get the idle manpower?

Tang Hu laughed and said, "The general doesn't know, but these two gentlemen are not gentlemen." ”

Li Qing was surprised: "What is this, what is not a gentleman?" ”

Yang Yidao said on the side: "These two gentlemen are women, generals. ”

Li Qing was even more taken aback: "Female? Women are also literate? ”

Yang Yidao smiled and said: "General, it is also an acquaintance, who are those two women?" It was the two women we rescued in the golden tent that was not spent, but we didn't want to be two literate and hyphenated women, listening to Xu County's order, these two women must be from extraordinary backgrounds. ”

Li Qing couldn't help but be interested, and said, "Oh, what's their name?" ”

"Those two are looking for sisters, my sister's name is Qingfeng, my sister's name is Jiyue, my lord, do you want to take a look? I see that the two female gentlemen are very good at learning, especially my sister Qingfeng, I read her writing, although we are coarse, but the word is beautiful when I look at it, and I also sent the girl there to study! Yang Yidao smiled and said: "If the wild girl in my family can also read a few words, won't it be better to find a good family in the future?" ”

Li Qing was a little ridiculous, this Yang Yidao, sent the girl to study, and he was still thinking about praising her a few words, but he was really interested in this Qingfeng and Jiyue two women, in this era, it is not easy to read, and it is even more difficult for women to study, if it is not an official eunuch, or a wealthy family, it will not let these two women study, but since these two people are back, why not go home, but have to suffer in Chongxian?

While talking, the three of them have arrived in front of a wooden house, perhaps to let the boys study more quietly, but the place chosen for this house is not far from the house where Li Qing lives, although this is the periphery, but the guard is still stricter, from time to time you can see patrolling soldiers walking by, but there is really something, a shout, Li Qing must be able to hear. This place, ordinary people will not come here, after all, this is the place where the boss of Chongxian County lives.

Li Qing understood at a glance, and praised in his heart that Xu Yunfeng was really careful, and such subtleties were actually taken into account. The house was in the style of the old camp, rough and sturdy, with huge logs slightly shaved and some lumps still left on them, and the gaps between the logs were carefully nailed with planks, as if fearing that the children would be frozen. Through the window, dozens of children sat on small benches, their hands on their laps, and their bony eyes staring intently at the female gentleman sitting at the top, which was made of huge wood scraps that had been cut down and barely flattened.

One of the two women was holding a scroll, and was leading the children to read with a frustration, while the other was sitting on one side, copying on a roll of paper, thinking that it was for the children to take back the manuscript of Linmu, and where could these children prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone at home, presumably with the words written by the husband and pasting them back, and they could only practice on the snow.

There was a big fire in the house, and it was going to burn peeling off, which made the house a little warmer, and with the sound of the children reading aloud, Li Qing suddenly gave birth to a sense of pride.

Li Qing stood by the window, looking at the woman through the mullion, that said a hurried glance, leaving only a very beautiful impression, now said to look through the window, can't help but appreciate, the original book talked about the national color and fragrance is really there, although this woman does not wear makeup, nor deliberately dressed, a plain face to the sky, of course, there is no condition to dress up here, but compared with the woman Li Qing saw in Chongzhou, it is really heaven and earth, although a linen coarse coat, only a silk silk tied around the waist, The long hair is only hastily tied with a thin rope, and it hangs down at will, but the skin is as white as jade, the lips are red and the teeth are white, leading the students to read, the voice is like a turn, quite good, although where to sit, but it can't hide the graceful figure, although the woman who sits with her back to herself only sees a back, but since the two are sisters, the appearance must not be bad.

Li Qing couldn't help but sigh heavily, if it weren't for this military disaster, these two women must be frolicking in the boudoir now, looking forward to a better future, how could they be so hard at this cold moment, seeing that the woman's hand was red from the cold, she put down the pen and put her hand to her mouth from time to time and sighed, and couldn't help but feel pity for the jade.

Li Qing's sigh was not loud, but it happened to be at the moment when the boys paused to study, it was particularly clear, the woman who was reading was startled, raised her head, and saw Li Qing by the window, she was startled, stood up, and said to the boys: "Children, today's homework is here, everyone go to get the sticker, go back to practice, tomorrow the teacher will check." ”

The boys cheered, and they all stood up, after all, they were all young, and they were still playful, and when they saw that the gentleman had spoken, they couldn't wait to stand up, and went to get the stickers one by one, and ran out of the door shouting.

Seeing the children walking away, Li Qing strode into the room, and at this time, the two women stood up and greeted them, "General Li!" "The two of them were deeply blessed.

When Li Qing carefully looked at the woman who copied the book, she was really beautiful, and she looked very similar to the woman who was reciting the book.

"Little girl Qingfeng, this is the sister Jiyue, I have seen the general."
