Chapter 75: School
In the warm sun, there is a chair in the quiet courtyard, and next to the chair is a small coffee table, on which is placed a small teapot, and a few small cups.
On the top of the chair lay a man who was holding a book in one hand and looking at it without blinking. With his other hand, he picked up the teapot, skillfully poured the tea inside into the teacup, and then picked up the cup and brought it to his mouth, savoring the aroma of tea.
This person was the leisurely Ling Feng, and he still held the book to scan the content as usual. Looking at his skillful movements, you know that he has done this many times.
"Young Master!" Lin Fanyun once again disturbed Ling Feng's comfortable time.
"Oh, Lao Lin. Are they over?" Ling Feng asked, putting down the book.
"They shouldn't be over yet, they haven't come back yet. But young master, is it really okay if you don't go to see it?" Lin Fanyun asked.
"Anyway, I used to just watch from the sidelines, and it was the same whether I went or not. Ling Feng said nonchalantly.
"However, this is also a big deal. The emperor and the lord are all here. Lin Fanyun secretly sweated in his heart and said, it's the same whether this goes or not!? Today is the day of the exercise with the army, and I didn't bother with this matter in the morning except to pick up someone.
You must know that today is the power center of the empire, and it can be said that the people here represent everything in the empire, including the king of a country. Such a lineup, wherever it goes, it will be hugged before and after, and it will be echoed. Everybody approaches these people so that they can be appreciated by them. But some people completely ignore these people and read books in the courtyard by themselves, as if books are more important than them.
But it's right to think about it again, the young master has been in their circle since birth, so naturally he is not immune to them. But even if that's the case, at least accompany the guests! He's better to ignore these people at all.
Even if the above things make sense, then the two sides of today's exercise still have their own people. He also didn't care what kind of performance his people had in the exercise, whether they lost or won! Lin Fanyun had seen such a person for the first time, and he wouldn't think that anyone else would be like this in this world except for the young master.
"Big things are big things, that's why they come over. But that's just for them, and for me today it's just a show of our knives. And as I said, even if I'm present, it's the same, the result won't change. I'll just have to take care of them, and I'll leave the rest to Nicholas. He won't let me down. Ling Feng said very flatly.
"Won't it change?, young master, do you already know the result?" Lin Fanyun said.
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Of course, our drill this time can be said to have taken advantage of the right time, place, and people, unless a miracle occurs. Otherwise, my dad will be away today. ”
"This young master, what does it mean that the time and place are favorable?" Lin Fanyun asked suspiciously.
Ling Feng sorted it out and explained, "The right time, the right place, and the right people, to put it simply, are all factors that represent their own benefit. The time of day refers to the weather, and the location is the terrain, and the people are the soldiers. In terms of factors affecting the outcome of the war, the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people. ”
"......" Lin Fanyun only has a general understanding of this explanation, and cannot fully digest it.
After a while, Lin Fanyun asked again, "Young Master, what advantage do we have today?"
"This time, in fact, it only occupies the geographical advantage and people, and the time of day is just what I said by the way!" Ling Feng said.
"......" Lin Fanyun's head went blank.
Ling Feng ignored Lin Fanyun's expression and continued: "First of all, let's talk about the location, our people have been training in the place where they are conducting exercises now for the past month. It can be said that on that field, they can fight even with their eyes closed. ”
“......”
"Besides, this person and the person my father brought are on an unfamiliar ground, and they will have a little bit of an impact. The most important thing is that when they came, they went straight to the drill without taking a break. The so-called tired soldiers will be defeated, and this is where they suffer the most. And our people are there to take advantage of it. Ling Feng explained the most reassuring advantage.
"I get it. But they are the elite soldiers of the empire, but we are ......" Lin Fanyun couldn't find a suitable title at once, and it was not good to call it a slave soldier, because the young master had already said that in his eyes, there were no slaves or slaves, and all beings were equal.
"I understand what you mean. But you forgot that our men have been training under Nicholas for more than a month. The so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers under them, and they will never be bad. Plus they were originally elites, and if they weren't, they wouldn't have survived so many wars. Ling Feng said.
"This ......" Lin Fanyun also wanted to say that there was still a certain difference in strength, but he was interrupted by Ling Feng.
"Actually, in this exercise, it doesn't matter who wins and who loses. Ling Feng said flatly.
"It's not important, why?" Lin Fanyun couldn't help but be confused by Ling Feng.
"Our purpose this time is just to show them the advantages of using a knife, just show them this. Everything else is secondary. Ling Feng explained.
"Oh, I see. Lin Fanyun suddenly realized that he had just gotten into a dead end and had forgotten the original purpose of this exercise.
"By the way, Lao Lin, do you have something else important?" Ling Feng remembered Lin Fanyun coming over at this time, since he was not here to report this matter, there must be something else. And it won't be an ordinary thing, otherwise Lin Fanyun wouldn't come to disturb him.
"Yes, young master, it's not a big deal, but it's up to you to decide. Lin Fanyun nodded and said, "It's that among the group of people you bought, there is a pregnant woman, you know!"
"It seems that there is such a one, and her due date should be these days. What's wrong with her? I remember I had someone take care of her. Ling Feng wondered.
"It's not that there's a problem, it's that she gave birth, and the mother and child are safe. Lin Fanyun replied immediately.
"Oh, wouldn't it be nice to have a son?" Ling Feng said puzzled.
"The problem is that she is a slave now. Lin Fanyun said in a heavy tone when he said slaves, reminding Ling Feng to pay attention. There is a custom on this continent that as long as a child born to a slave is born to him, he will also be a slave, and the person will be owned by the owner of his parents.
"What if it's a slave, what does this have to do with her giving birth now?" Ling Feng noticed Lin Fanyun's reminder, but he still didn't understand what was wrong with this.
"This young master, are you going to give him something to prove his identity. Lin Fanyun said euphemistically.
"Proof of identity?" Ling Feng thought for a moment, then patted his forehead and said, "By the way, how did I forget about this." Okay, you wait, I'll be right there. Then Ling Feng ran into the study, and after tinkering in it for a while, he ran out like a gust of wind.
"Let's go, Lao Lin!" the words floated past Lin Fanyun's ears.
Master, are you leaving? I can't run as fast as you, and I won't see if I can keep up with you. Lin Fanyun looked at Ling Feng, who was about to disappear behind the gate, and thought helplessly.
Ling Feng's figure completely disappeared behind the gate, and Lin Fanyun was still standing there, looking at the gate of the courtyard.
"Old Lin, what are you still doing standing there, let's go!" Ling Feng's head stretched out and appeared in Lin Fanyun's line of sight again.
"Ah...... Wait for me ......" Lin Fanyun was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and immediately got up and ran like Ling Feng.
In the Black Rock Mountain, a small building that has just been completed not long ago, in front of the small building is a courtyard, and around this courtyard, there are several small buildings. This is what Ling Feng will use as a hospital in the future, and now there is only one patient, in fact, this cannot be regarded as a patient. That is the pregnant woman that Lin Fanyun mentioned just now.
"Baby, you are so cute. Ling Feng hugged a baby and made a grimace to tease the newborn baby.
The mother, who was supposed to be laughing, now has a sad face. This is all because of the Ling Feng in front of her, which turned her joy of having a child into melancholy. Worried about her child's future, although Ling Feng was a good master in her eyes, she was still worried about her son's future.
"By the way, has the baby been named?" Ling Feng teased for a while and asked the child's mother.
"Back to the young master, not yet. ”
"That ****, what's your husband's last name?" Ling Feng remembered everyone's names and appearances, and of course he wouldn't forget the woman he had asked someone to take care of.
"His name is Zhang Hu! **** said gloomily.
"Don't mind if I give him a name!" Ling Feng said excitedly.
"It's a blessing for the young master to be able to name Xiao'er!"
"Oh, that's called Zhang Fu. After Ling Feng said this, he immediately shook his head, "No, this is similar to his father's name." That's called Zhang Heizi, no. It's still a stone, what do you think? Oh no. That's called Zhang Yin, you say it's too girly. That ......"
Lin Fanyun and **** opened their mouths wide and looked at Ling Feng who was still choosing a name and vetoing it at the same time. Don't ask the young master for a name in the future, this is the only thought in the hearts of the two now.
"Zhang Kui, I decided to call it this. After Ling Feng talked for a long time, he finally said a more suitable name. The two of them, who heard so many bad names, immediately nodded desperately.
"The name is decided, and the next step is to give him an identification. Ling Feng took out the thing he had just stuffed into the space bag, which was a piece of paper that could give the baby identification. Then he wrote a few words on it with a pen.
"Hey...... What should come is still coming. Lin Fanyun sighed and said to himself. They all thought that the paper that Ling Feng took out was a slave contract for this newborn baby.
"Now I, Long Tian, as the lord of Black Stone Mountain, give this newborn little Zhang Kui, the first ...... born in Black Stone Mountain" Ling Feng deliberately paused, "Citizen's identity!" and then handed the paper to ****.
"Citizen?" ****, who was already desperate just now, was blindsided after hearing this title. Mechanically took over Ling Feng's identification certificate for her, what is the identity of a citizen? Could it be the title of a slave in the young master's mouth.
"Citizen?" Lin Fanyun who was also on the side couldn't understand it, and he kept chanting these two words in his mouth.
"Yes, citizens. He was the first young citizen to be born here, and he will surely live on his name for generations to come. Right, little Zhang Kui!" Ling Feng said as he teased the baby.
"Quack ......" The baby seemed to understand Ling Feng's words and let out his first laugh.
"Young Master. What is this citizen?" asked Lin Fanyun.
"Citizens simply refer to the people of this country, which means that you and I are both citizens of the Tianxiang Empire. Ling Feng explained.
"Then young master, are slaves considered citizens?" Lin Fanyun asked.
"This slave does not know whether it counts, and it should not be counted if he does not have the right to enjoy the law, but he bears the obligations of the law. I don't know if this counts or not. Ling Feng remembered that when he defined a citizen, there were no slaves for a long time.
"Then how can the young master be sure of this child's citizenship?" Lin Fanyun wondered.
"He's a commoner, not a slave. Of course you can be sure!" Ling Feng wondered Lin Fanyun's question, not understanding why he could ask like this.
"Not a slave?!" Lin Fanyun and **** shouted at the same time.
"No, what's wrong? what's all the fuss about?" Ling Feng wondered.
"Young master, you said that my son is not a slave?" **** wanted to confirm again, she was afraid that she had heard it wrong just now.
"It's not. He's just a newborn baby, how can he be a slave?" Ling Feng replied affirmatively.
Lin Fanyun saw Ling Feng, who was a little dazed, and asked, "Young Master, don't you know that this continent has a custom for treating children born from slaves?"
"What convention?"
"The child born of your slave is your slave!"
Ling Feng shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, even if I knew about this convention, I wouldn't use it." People are all the same, especially newborn children, they are all the same. There is no good or bad, and there is no distinction between high and low. No wonder you just looked like that, you thought I had made a slave contract for him. ”
"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master......" **** said with tears, she didn't think about the problem she had been worrying about, it turned out to be superfluous.
"Don't thank me, it's the way it should be. If you want to thank you, wait until your slavery status is lifted. Ling Feng smiled.
"Well, I will definitely do my best to help the young master. **** said excitedly. She had thought that Ling Feng's removal of their slavery status was just talk, and that she couldn't take it seriously. Seeing this situation now, she was absolutely confident that Ling Feng would definitely remove them from their slave status and make them a commoner.
Ling Feng shook his hand and said, "You should cultivate well now, and you have to wait for your body to recover." ”
"Yes, young master, I will cultivate well, so that I can do things for you as soon as possible. ”
"Well, you can rest. I'll go first. Ling Feng saw that things were almost over, so he said goodbye.
"Young master, walk slowly. ”
Ling Feng, who left Xiaolou, thought of one thing because of the little baby. And Lin Fanyun behind him looked at him in a trance. Today's events have turned Lin Fanyun's impression of him upside down, and at the same time, Lin Fanyun is willing to do things for him, not just for his salary.
As he walked, Ling Feng suddenly stopped and said to Lin Fanyun behind him, "Old Lin, do you say that we are going to build a school. ”
"What did the young master say?" Lin Fanyun was a little absent-minded.
Ling Feng said in a deep voice: "School, I want to build a school. ”
"Oh. Lin Fanyun responded.
"A school that our children can go to, including the little Zhang Kui just now, if he grows up, he can enter primary school. Ling Feng said.
What kind of school are you talking about, young master? Can our children go to school? What is a primary school?" Lin Fanyun asked three questions in a row, he just thought that Ling Feng was going to run those aristocratic schools, but he didn't expect that what he wanted to run was that all of them could go to ordinary people.
"It's okay for your kids, and it's free. As for the primary school ......," Ling Feng began to explain the school philosophy and general policy he had just thought of.
