Chapter 487: Assessment (6)
"In fact, shaving your hair is good, you can keep your head clean and clean, and you are not easy to get sick, you people are simply misinterpreting the meaning of the saints, the body is hairy, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and filial piety is the beginning. The original intention of the saint is to cherish your body and cherish your life, because your life is given by your parents, if you don't cherish it well and lose your life, then your parents will be heartbroken, this hair skin does not specifically refer to hair and skin, this is a metaphor, what shaving is unfilial piety, people who do not shave their hair are filial? I really don't know that some people talk about the words of the saints endlessly, but they don't seek to understand one by one, it's really sad and lamentable! β
When Meng Yan said this, Li Chunfeng, the only scholar, suddenly turned red with shame, and he found that what Meng Yan said was speechless.
Isn't it a one-sided understanding of the literal meaning of the saint to be understood?
Could it be that everyone is wrong to accept the truth?
Dogmatism kills people, Meng Yan sighed in his heart, in addition to this, he also thought of women's foot binding, which is also an extremely perverted and disgusting aesthetic.
I really don't know what the ancients thought, ignorance, ignorance, destroying human nature, and completely violating the law of development of things.
However, at this point, Meng Yan really didn't have the ability to fight against the powerful moral science, because he himself had to grow long hair because of this.
He mentioned it a little in this internal discussion meeting, and almost everyone objected.
Although he retorted slightly, it didn't work at all, and it was almost impossible to get a soldier to shave his hair, unless he had a head injury that needed to be treated.
You can't kill me, can you?
"Forget it, I won't mention it. However, the notice went down that the soldiers should wash their heads at least once every three days. Meng Yan was a little helpless, and he could only do so now.
"Three days, isn't the time too short, once a half a month......"
"No, I can't. Once every half a month, won't this training base stink? Meng Yan categorically vetoed, "Five days at most, if anyone doesn't do it, they will be eliminated directly." β
Tang Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and agreed: "Yes, my lord!" β
The night was dark.
"My lord, it's windy at night, be careful of catching a cold." Small wooden upstairs. Meng Yan looked out from the railing, the green hills in the distance were cloudy, a gust of wind blew, and the tips of his hair were a little messy.
It has been almost half a year since I came to this era, and the stories that have happened in this half year are even more exciting than the thirty years of my previous life.
Although it is only a monotonous black and white era, the wonderful Cheng dΓΉ is not much worse than the colorful era of his original.
Am I a passer-by in this era, or am I going to leave my mark on this era?
There are many mysteries in history that are difficult to explain, and some of the modern scientific and technological capabilities possessed by the deceased are even beyond the reach of later generations.
Could it be that this is the mark left by predecessors like him?
They may not be able to change the tide of history. But I always left my own mark, why can't I?
Maybe I can't change history either. But I can always change myself and the fate of those around me, right?
There is an old saying that once you come, you will be safe!
Don't seek to govern the country and level the world, but seek to live up to what you have learned!
To talk about ambition. Meng Yan still has some, of course, not to be the emperor, the emperor is actually very boring, nothing more than to let his descendants eat and wait for death.
But no matter which dynasty. In the end, it will go to extinction, prosperity and decline, this is the inevitable law, if you want to prosper forever, there is only competition, let the strongest person lead the country, and this competition can be done without war.
However, it was too far away, in my previous life, in that era, so many countries were unable to find a perfect way, so they could only work in this direction.
Interests are eternal and unchanging, as long as people live, there will be a contention for interests, as big as the territorial sovereignty of the country, a bite of food, a bite of drink, all have to fight!
If you don't fight, you will only starve to death.
The peasant farms the land, he has to own the land, he has to pay taxes, these are all disputes, if he does not fight, he will starve to death.
The same goes for people in other industries.
Are there any people who don't get something for nothing?
No, it is those who are officials and emperors, which one is not fighting, or those idle princes of the clan, they don't worry about eating and drinking, and they are also fighting, but their ancestors are fighting too hard, and they help them fight for everything, and they will lie on the merits of their predecessors and enjoy happiness.
When the day comes, the merits of the ancestors will not be enough, and they will have to rely on themselves.
"Xiaochao, apart from revenge, what other ideals do you have?" Meng Yan pulled his cloak and asked Guo Xiaochao, who was standing behind him.
"Nope." Guo Xiaochao replied very simply.
"No, how can people live in the world without a little pursuit?" Meng Yan was a little surprised.
"Guo family, the eldest lady is Xiaochao's pursuit." Guo Xiaochao thought for a while and said.
"You are very faithful, there are not many such people." Meng Yan sighed, talking to Guo Xiaochao about such a deep topic, some of them played the piano to the cow.
"Alright, come with me to the rounds." Meng Yan turned around and walked towards the staircase.
"Yes." Guo Xiaochao followed.
"Your Excellency!" Tang Xiao and the others had been waiting downstairs for a long time, they were all familiar with Meng Yan's habits, as long as they were in the army, night rounds were a compulsory course, and even the time was calculated.
"You're here too?"
"At the beginning of the day, adults are doing rounds at this time, and we have been ready for a long time." Tang Xiao smiled slightly.
"Oh, you kid, get a feel for my habits." Meng Yan scolded with a smile, "Why are there so many people? β
"My lord, they heard that you were going to do a ward inspection in person, so they all came."
"There are so many people, don't you want the soldiers to rest, don't have so many people, leave three people like this, and the others go back to rest, I will still stay at the base for two days, and there will be a chance tomorrow!" Meng Yan thought for a moment and said.
As soon as they heard that there was still a chance, everyone didn't have anything to say, and soon, the three candidates were decided, Tang Xiao, Zhang Chong, and Duan Tianming.
These three people have the highest official positions at the training base. In order from highest to lowest, there is no controversy.
A group of five people walked towards the base quarters.
"My lord, Chief Instructor Tang!"
"Open the door!" Tang Xiao commanded softly.
"Yes!"
"Walk lightly, don't bother them." Meng Yan instructed.
Although the temperature in the house is a little higher than outside, it is not much higher, such a night. Living in this wood-paneled house, it's actually still very cold.
But Meng Yan has no better way, where the grass is created, it can only be hard and simple, and he can only wait for the conditions to improve in the future.
After a day of tossing, the rookie recruits were all tired, all of them fell asleep, and some were snoring, and that guy was like thunder.
"Your Excellency. This guy is snoring too loudly, how can others sleep with such a loud sound? β
"Look, didn't they sleep well?" Meng Yan smiled slightly, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the barracks.
There are many stories about the "purring" sound.
"Well, I think at the beginning, we were similar to them." Tang Xiao smiled embarrassedly and smiled.
"I want to eat meat, eat big fat......"
"This kid dreams of eating meat!" Meng Yan smiled. He pointed to the soldier who was talking in his sleep.
"What the adults said is, I'm going to wake him up......"
"Don't. The most taboo thing to dream about is being interrupted, just wipe the saliva off for him. Meng Yan stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Yes!"
"I'm going to run, I'm going to run......"
"My lord, this is another dreamer!"
Meng Yan walked over, covered him with the quilt of the soldier who was still tossing in his dream, and tucked the corners of the quilt.
If this kid wakes up tomorrow. If you know the quilt that Meng Yan covered for him, you may not know how excited you will be.
It took more than half an hour to finally inspect the last room and come out of it.
Tang Xiao, it's not early. You all go down and rest, and Brother Chao can follow. Meng Yan commanded.
"Then my lord, you also rest early, and you will retire under the mark!"
"Go ahead!"
Meng Yan and Guo Xiaochao returned to the small building from the dormitory one after the other.
"Brother Xiaochao, what do you think of our training base?" Meng Yan asked as he walked.
"Okay, I'm afraid it will cause criticism from others." Guo Xiaochao thought for a moment and said.
"I also know this, no matter what we do, there will be people to talk about, as long as we act right and sit up straight, we are not afraid of those criticisms." Meng Yan Road.
"That's what my lord said."
"Let's go, let's not talk about it, you sleep in the room on the left side of the upstairs, and I sleep on the right, if there is any movement, we can take care of each other."
"Good!" Guo Xiaochao will always be so precious as gold.
Although it was a little cold, Meng Yan slept well, and as soon as the wake-up call rang in the morning, he got up with him.
When you get here, you have to follow the rules here, and the soldiers get up and gather in five minutes, and he is no exception.
To lead troops is to treat everyone equally, and this "benevolence" also includes oneself, otherwise it will not be able to serve the public.
Out of exercises, boxing, this is a compulsory course for daily training.
"Drink!"
"Remember, punches should be strong, feet should be steady, and the waist should be ......"
"You, is this Zama, squat!"
"Zama a stick of incense!"
"Your Excellency, you're here." Zhang Chong stepped forward to salute, and he was the instructor on duty for today's morning exercises, and he was also responsible for teaching the recruits basic boxing techniques and zama steps.
This Zama step is the basic skill of practicing boxing, and anyone who practices boxing must take this step, otherwise practicing boxing is an empty word.
"Guo Xiaochao, your chief instructor of boxing!" Meng Yan pulled Guo Xiaochao and introduced.
"I've met Chief Instructor Xiaochao."
"Hello Instructor Zhang!"
"Brother Xiaochao, I don't want them all to become masters of boxing, but I hope they can all become masters of fighting!" Meng Yan said, "Do you remember the punch I taught you, you can teach them that." β
"Fighting skills!"
"Yes, they are soldiers, what they need to learn is the skill of killing, and physical fitness is just a minutiae!" Meng Yan said heavily.
"Okay."
"Then please!"
After the exercise, each team brought back for breakfast, and then the fourth test, archery! (To be continued......)
