Chapter 43
The reckless and reckless soldiers of the North Vietnamese State are not only reflected in the fact that they often launch foreign conquests, but also in the fact that the people are fond of and willing to practice martial arts.
"One, two, three, four...... Two-two-three-four...... Three-two-three-four......"
From the moment those domestic slaves entered the Yi Mansion, Yi Ying stipulated to them that no matter men, women, or children, everyone should practice martial arts for at least half an hour in the early morning every day. Half an hour of martial arts training is not a long time, that is, an hour, which can not only satisfy those who have never practiced martial arts for the fun of martial arts, but also help them strengthen their bodies and improve their physique.
Although the master of the Tianying Gate was only interested in listening to the government with the curtain, due to a lot of details of his actions later, when the Lord of the Ying Gate left, the time was close to the fifth watch.
And for some reason, the master of Tianying Sect promised Yi Huan that he could persuade Princess Daming not to kill Yi Huan again because of what happened last time. Although he didn't know whether to trust the master of Tianying Sect or not, Yi Huan also knew that he had no choice.
Coming out of the east courtyard, Yi Huan walked to the front yard.
It's rare that Yi Ying didn't lie in bed at this time, so she naturally wanted to see the martial arts training of those house slaves.
Under the restraint of Tong Wu, all house slaves were arranged in three rows. The first row are the children who are still learning to do things, and the second row are women of all ages. Yi Ying not only saw the energetic Yunxiang in it, but also saw the peony that was strong in spirit, and the listless Yueji.
Seeing Yi Huan appear in the company of Chunlan, not only the men who were already in good spirits immediately shook up, including Peony, but also those women and children also stood up straight.
After casually glancing at the martial arts training of the house slaves, Yi Huan looked at Tong Wu, who was commanding martial arts, and said, "Tong Wu, you see that a few of them are really suitable for martial arts. ”
"Back to the master, the child is okay to say, as long as you practice hard, I am not talking about only practicing for half an hour every day, but practicing for five or six hours a day, and you will have the opportunity to become a good player in the future." Tong Wu said with a respectful face.
Tong Wu's answer was not unexpected by Yi Ying, nodded and said: "This is no problem, but you'd better pay attention to the selection, some children have a weak physique and are not suitable for martial arts, if they practice too fiercely, I am afraid it will also be a burden for them." ”
Burden?
The first time he heard that some masters would worry about the overburdening of domestic slaves, Tong Wu's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
However, this is not surprising to Yi Huan, because if you want your subordinates to exert more initiative, you must put them in the most suitable position. Even flattering people have their own survival soil, which Yi Ying has been familiar with as early as modern officialdom.
Yi Huan didn't stop talking, but looked at the house slave who was practicing martial arts and said, "Yi Shan, Yi Hai, Yi Dong, Yi Xi, the four of you come out first." ”
"Yes, sir."
As Yi Huan shouted, four sturdy male house slaves immediately ran out of the back of the line. When they were called out by Yi Huan, their faces were not panicked, but slightly excited. After all, this was the first time that Yi Huan had publicly ordered the house slaves to do things, and he had named them in front of so many people, which would naturally make the four of them very excited.
And Tong Wu also looked at Yi Dong in surprise, because Yi Dong was Tong Wu's younger brother. However, Yi Dong was not as lucky as Tong Wu and did not escape the fate of changing his name.
Looking at the four big men who were all over 1.80 meters, Yi Huan nodded and said, "Very good, from today onwards, the four of you will no longer be domestic slaves in this county." The county has said that sooner or later you will be removed from the status of domestic slaves, and this qiē starts with the four of you. ”
"Hula!"
Although Yi Huan's voice was not particularly passionate, no house slave dared not to listen to the master when he arrived. Suddenly hearing this shocking news, not only did the four Yi Dong, who had not been domestic slaves for a few days, all widen their eyes, but those domestic slaves who were practicing martial arts also screamed in surprise and stumbled and fell into a ball.
Hearing that his younger brother could get rid of his status as a house slave, although he didn't know Yi Huan's reason for doing so, Tong Wu couldn't care about those messy house slaves, and hurriedly glanced at Yi Dong, who was already stunned.
Seeing his brother's eyes, Yi Dong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Yi Dong thank you for your kindness, my lord's great kindness, Yi Dong will never dare to forget jì for the rest of his life." ”
"Yi Shan (Yi Hai, Yi Xi) Thank you for your kindness, the great kindness of the lord, Yi Shan (Yi Hai, Yi Xi) will never dare to forget jì for the rest of his life." Following Yi Dong, the other three also knelt down and said.
Yi Ying looked at the four house slaves who were happy to pass by, and said unhurriedly: "Very good, but do you know why this county wants to remove your house slave status, and what is the plan to send you to do after you are lifted from your house slave status?" Or do you simply think that the removal of your domestic slavery status in this county means letting you go away? ”
As soon as they heard this, not only the four of Yi Dong, but all the house slaves were stunned.
However, Yi Dong didn't need Tong Wu to remind him at this time, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Please make it clear." ”
"It's very simple, there are still a few officials in the yamen in this county, but people outside the county can't trust it at all, so this county plans to let the four of you follow to be the yamen. It's only because domestic slaves can't be servants that this county has to remove your status as domestic slaves, understand? ”
"The villain understands, the villain thanks the adults for their kindness, thank the adults for their kindness."
Suddenly hearing this, not only Yi Dong and the four of them were overjoyed, but even Tong Wu's eyes showed a look of surprise.
Because although the official is not an official, he is also from a legitimate background after all, and he still follows Yi Huan to do things, something really happened to Yi Dong, and it is difficult for Yi Huan, as the county lord, to completely get rid of his responsibilities, and Tong Wu does not have to worry about Yi Huan asking Yi Dong to do anything dangerous.
Yi Huan didn't care whether a few people kowtowed or not, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't be in a hurry to be happy, although the county has chosen you, do you know why the county chose you?" ”
"That's not because a few of you are better than the others and physically stronger than the others, but because you all have brothers and sisters who are domestic slaves in the county government. Although you are free from the status of domestic slaves, if you do not work hard and do not do your best, your brothers and sisters may never be able to get rid of the status of domestic slaves because of you, do you understand? ”
“……,……”
Suddenly hearing Yi Huan's words, all the house slaves in the audience fell into a stunned silence, and then they realized that it was not so simple for Yi Huan to arrange four people to be servants.
The family members of the other three might not dare to say anything more at this time, but Tong Wu once again gave Yi Dong, who was looking terrified. ,
Seeing Tong Wu's eyes, Yi Dong gritted his teeth, kowtowed and said, "...... The villain understands! No matter what the adults command, the villain will never give up and will not let the adults down. ”
Yi Huan didn't wait for the other three to express her position, looked at the other house slaves and said, "You don't have to worry, since this county has asked you to follow this county as a servant, it will naturally take care of one or two for you outside." Also, the county has said that it will take off all of you from slavery in the future, and it will definitely do it. ”
"Now the county promises you, whether men, women, young or old, that if you have been in the county government for ten years, the county will unconditionally free you from slavery, and this time can be shortened, but never extended. This is not only for the families of the four of them, but for all of you. But the premise is that you must do things well for the county, and you can't deliberately make any mistakes for the county. ”
"Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness."
This time, not only the four of Yi Dong, but all the house slaves knelt down with surprise on their faces, and even Yueji was full of joy and pulled the peony to kneel together.
Of course, the most exciting are those children, who will be in their twenties at most in ten years, and once they are free from slavery, they have every chance to live a new and free life.
Yi Huan said unhurriedly: "Also, you children don't just be busy learning to do things every day in the future, from now on, you have to practice martial arts with Tong Wu for four hours every day, and then you have to learn reading and literacy with Peony Medicine for an hour, the specific time arrangement!" Peony, you and Tong Wu discussed it yourself. ”
"Master, do you want all these children to read and read?" Suddenly hearing Yi Huan's arrangement for the child, everyone's eyes widened, and only Yueji reacted in time.
Yi Yingman said indifferently: "What's so strange about this, this county will need more manpower in the future, how can it be satisfied by just letting you be a domestic slave for a few years?" ”
Yi Huan looked at Peony again and said: "Peony, you can pay more attention when you teach in the future, if they really have someone who can run a way out in Xiwen, you can discuss with Tong Wu and teach them to read with heart, otherwise at least they must be like Yueji, so that they can read and break words." In this way, they will be able to work as stewards and accounts in the future, and they will not only have to do some work such as serving tea and pouring water. ”
"How wise the lord is!" I didn't expect Yi Ying to make such an arrangement, and Peony couldn't help but exclaim.
Although Yi Ying said the words steward and account room, Peony knew that Yi Ying was also planning for herself. But no matter who Yi Ying plans for, it is these children who really get the benefits. At most, practicing martial arts is only to strengthen the body, but reading and literacy are equivalent to giving these children an extra way out in the future.
Because they don't talk about others, the peony family has never taught the children of those subordinates to read and read before. Yueji only learned some because she had to study with peony.
Hearing Peony's sigh, Yun Xiang immediately rushed to the front, pushed her daughter to kneel down and kowtowed, and said, "Master is wise!" Thank you, thank you! ”
"The old man is wise! Thank you, thank you! ”
Youyunxiang led her daughter to take the lead, and the other children no longer needed to be taught, and immediately all knelt down and kowtowed with joy on their faces. Not to mention that those boys may become future stewards and bookkeepers after learning calligraphy, after girls learn calligraphy, they can at least be a study girl like Yueji in the future, or wait for ten years to get rid of slavery and marry a good family.
Yi Ying was not satisfied, shook her hand and said: "Not busy, not busy, not only these children will have the opportunity to read and read in the future, but you adults will also have it." However, the county will not arrange for you to teach and study separately. You can take the time to study while these children are studying. ”
"It all depends on your own personal interests, whether you can learn or not, the county is not to blame, but if you learn well, the county will also be rewarded."
As soon as he heard this, not only those house slaves, but even Tong Wu, who was standing beside Yi Huan, knelt down and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Unlike modern times, reading and literacy are quite sacred things in North Vietnam. If you miss your childhood, let alone Yi Ying, these house slaves, even if you don't become a house slave, ordinary civilians will no longer have the opportunity to be literate, let alone believe that they can still be literate.
This is different from Yi Huan, who had heard that the literacy class was powerful and strong, and nearly 100 million illiterates were swept away in one sweep, so naturally he wanted to give it a try.
And compared with illiterate house slaves, Yi Huan still thinks that it is more convenient to get some literate house slaves to show off.
