Chapter 18: Please Teach Me

The second time I came to Hongzhou City, it was no longer the same.

The destructive power of the war is far greater than imagined, the center of the battlefield destroyed one-third of the Dafutu Mountain Range, and many places outside the battlefield were also affected, Hongzhou City was too close to the center of the battlefield, and the impact was also the largest, the city was smashed by a broken peak that fell from the sky, the wall of the city was crushed into pieces like tofu, the buildings inside were crushed in half, the broken earth and rocks covered the entire city, and there was a huge crack in the ground, which divided the city into two halves, It was the scar left after an earthquake, dozens of dilapidated houses in that huge crack, and even the Hongzhou Hall was destroyed.

However, the city is now very lively, many people are shuttling in it, people are building bridges over that big crack, some people are holding all kinds of tools in their hands, and they are working under the leadership of some officers and soldiers, some are carrying sand, some are rebuilding houses.

Hundreds of millions of people returned to their homes after the war, and there were hundreds of large and small cities on Tianshun Road, about 32 of which were completely destroyed, and post-disaster reconstruction has always been the most headache for rulers.

Looking for Hongzhou to die on the battlefield, he used his life to buy precious time, and also saved the life of Gong Baizhen, the lord of Fusang, now, Fusang has sent a large number of reinforcements to Hongzhou, especially in terms of money and food, Fusang is quite generous, sent a million stone grain and a full 200 billion gold coins, this huge resource has alleviated the plight of a considerable part of Hongzhou country homeless, especially the 200 billion gold coins, enough for Hongzhou country to rebuild dozens of cities.

Anyway, the last thing that Fuso lacks is money and food.

After the death of Hongzhou, his son was made the new lord of the country, becoming one of the new eight ruling countries, this new leader knew that this disaster was both a challenge and an opportunity for him, if he could successfully lead the people to rebuild their homes, then he could establish enough prestige in the Hongzhou country, so as soon as he came to power, he immediately ordered the removal of all border army military service, amnesty to the world, exempted all the affected areas of Hongzhou from taxes for 20 years, and also emptied the treasury, with this money to form a huge home reconstruction team, That is, the group of people who are working that Ai Yisha sees now, and at the same time he also increased the law, but once all the officials who embezzle and withhold disaster relief funds are found, they will be executed, and they have repeatedly ordered the people to put the people first, and first rush to repair the people's real estate and homes, in order to set an example, the Hongzhou Hall has not been repaired until now, and the new lord of the country is still living in this palace that was about to rot due to the earthquake.

If Ai Yixia knew about these things that the new lord had done, then she would definitely have admiration, and to be able to do this at such a time is really kingly.

Although this world is very backward in science and technology, the humanistic care of this world seems to have developed to a peak, especially in the Bafang ruling country as a leader, and so far, every leader Aisha has seen is very good.

After Ai Yixia entered the city, he was asking everywhere, Tianshun Road is a business road, the local people are not strange to outsiders, and even better is that the people here are very enthusiastic, the first person Ai Yixia asked was an old man, and asked him if there was a teacher here, that is, to teach people to read and write, the old man was behind his ear, and Ai Yixia asked him three times before he reacted.

"Girl, you have also seen that we have just experienced a great disaster here, it is said that there was a great earthquake, which killed many people, and destroyed many cities, and many people were scattered....... But the old man, I know a scholar, that person is called Lao Xu, he used to write in this city, his residence was not shaken, just over there, after this crack turned left and the thirteenth house is. ”

Ai Yixia looked over, and sure enough, she saw a low house, where the damage was not serious, and there were relatively few people.

"But, that old guy went to sign up a few days ago to help others repair their houses, ouch, they're all old bones, and he's still a student, so he won't leave himself there to do those jobs? Fortunately, those soldiers had the eyesight to go, and he was probably depressed at home now. Girl, you have to go to him, but you have to persuade him, these scholars love to compete......"

"Yes, yes....." Ai Yixia responded with a smile, "There is an old man." ”

"Hey, hey, you're polite, you're polite, you're welcome."

Aisha said goodbye to the old man and walked across the makeshift bridge, the abyss under the bridge was terrifying, and it seemed that even if the city was repaired, the crack would exist forever.

Then she came to the door of Lao Xu's house.

"Knock, knock, knock" She knocked politely on the door, exactly three times.

"Who is it?!" A loud greeting came from behind the door, and then, without waiting for Aisha to answer her, she added, "Since the guests have come, they should be welcomed, and the door is open to entertain them." ”

"......." Ai Yixia heard this sentence and knew that it meant that the door was not locked, and it was good to let her in.

So Aisha pushed the door open, and the wooden door creaked.

The house is very bright, the house is made of fine wood, the roof is made of bamboo to protect from the rain, and when the door is opened, there is a smell of ink.

Then there was a person kneeling in front of the bookcase, holding a volume, it was an old man, his hair was gray, but he exuded a simple and vigorous charm.

What a scribe.

Ai Yixia had some praise in her heart.

Ai Yixia and Xiao He have different personalities, but they both have a lot of respect for scholars.

Although Ai Yixia is obsessed with martial arts, her inner respect for the literati is actually more than that of the warriors, and the things in the minds of these scholars are more exquisite than the dazzling swordsmanship in her hands.

"Oops....... It's rude and rude, it's a lady, and it's rude. ”

When the man saw that it was a girl, he immediately stood up to greet her, and called her a lady.

Ai Yixia thought to herself, this person is really good enough to praise people, I can afford the word 'lady' in my whole body? It's almost the same as calling me a witch...... The lady of your family slashes people outside with a sword every day.......

"Dare to ask the girl, but is it the royal family of Hongzhou? Or is it a guest from another country? The old man asked politely, "Why did the girl come to this cold house?" ”

"Huh..... Elderly! I'm not a royal noble, but I'm here today because I heard that you're a talented man and want to come here to learn from you. ”

"Huh?!" The old man was stunned.

"I said, I'm here for you to learn and learn words." Aisha repeated.

It's over, it's over....... This reveals that I am illiterate...... Ai Yixia is actually very uncomfortable inside.

She continued, "Please sir teach me. ”10
