"Learn everything?" Anduin laughed when he heard this: "Do you really think that knowledge is the fennel beans on the plate, which one you want to eat and which one you can't eat?" No matter which of these three secret books requires ordinary people to spend their whole lives trying to explore, if they are all learned, I am afraid that they can only end up in a superficial and unrefined end. ”

He shook his head and sighed, "But you've said it all, and I don't need to stop you from studying." ”

After that, he took out three booklets that were shrunken into the size of a palm from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Mao, who took the booklets into his arms as if they were treasures, and asked with great expectations: "Sir, what is the use of these three secret books that I have cultivated? Can I be infinitely powerful and the golden light is not bad?"

Anduin smiled slightly, "No. ”

Zhao Mao choked up and asked, "Can I step on the snow without a trace and cross the river with a reed?"

"No, you can't. ”

“.... Can that make me learn to be rich and get on the list in the imperial examination?"

"No, you can't. ”

Anduin said aloud, "These three books will help you understand the world. They can tell you why the sky looks blue, why fruit falls to the ground, why food rots, why iron is stronger than copper....."

Zhao Mao's face suddenly collapsed, and he whispered: "What's the use of knowing this...."

"Confused!" Anduin struck him with a shudder, and rebuked: "In the Yan and Huang period, human beings used slash-and-burn farming, and now they have used oxen and ploughs; the bronze spears used by the Shang and Zhou dynasties have now used iron spears; with the gradual deepening of the understanding of the rules of the world, the technical level of human beings in transforming the world is also gradually improving, these three books are like the key to open the door to truth, once you master the mastery, you will be stronger than the rotten people in the world combined." ”

Zhao Mao's spirit was shocked, and he took out the booklet from his arms and flipped through it back and forth, the strangely shaped drawings in it, as well as the small characters that he knew by a single word but were combined like a book from the sky, made him dizzy at once.

"Triacid and Two Alkali Industrial Method, From Sodium Stearate to Cyclotric Triple Methyltrinitroamine"

"Determination of ellipses, parabolic and hyperbolic orbits, orbits of objects subjected to any type of centripetal force are determined by known focal points. ”

"Essence of Ironmaking and Steelmaking in Soil Blast Furnace"

Zhao Mao studied the table of contents of the three books over and over again, and wailed, "Sir, I don't understand." ”

"If you don't understand it, it's right. Anduin snorted and said, "Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground, just looking at cheats without learning the basic knowledge of the pre-set is like nonsense in the sky." As the saying goes, if you want to become a master, you must first endure the hardships of hardship.

Mathematics is the cornerstone of science, and since you have joined my door, you will learn arithmetic from today. ”

After that, he threw a piece of paper with the ninety-nine multiplication table into Zhao Mao's arms, and dropped a sentence: "Before you go to the county seat, you have to memorize these things for me, otherwise you are not allowed to eat lunch." ”

"Ah?!" Zhao Maoru was struck by lightning, pointed to Roger Luffy who was watching the play on the board car and said, "Then why don't the two of them have to learn?"

Roger Luffy was originally gloating with a bad smile, but after being targeted by Zhao Mao, he suddenly felt wrong, but he heard Anduin muttering: "Yes, you still have to ask for nine-year compulsory teaching affairs, otherwise you don't have the level of education to go out and walk the rivers and lakes, wouldn't it be a shame for me?"

After that, Anduin waved his hand and said, "In that case, if you are three brothers, let's memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table together." ”

"No!"

Roger Luffy exclaimed in unison: "Sir, we are both stupid and stupid by nature, and our qualifications are dull, you should let Zhao Mao do this kind of literacy and hyphenation work." ”

"Hmm, you dare to give up the opportunity to accept cultural edification that others can't ask for?" Anduin said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I can only implement the system of continuous sitting, and if one person can't carry it when I get to the county seat, don't even think about eating the remaining two." ”

Roger Luffy stared at each other with wide eyes, and silently turned his complaining gaze to Zhao Mao.

————

Xingyang City has arrived.

It's a small town, with a banal smell of soot, which can be glimpsed from the rough clay bowls of the wonton shops on the street.

There is no magnificence of Chang'an, there is no arrogance of Luoyang, most of the passers-by are five big and three coarse, honest and honest, except for the lack of camels in the Western Regions, like Lao She's Xiangzi.

Fortunately, the three bear children have bright brains, and Luffy, who is the most straightforward, has successfully memorized the ninety-nine multiplication table under the various prompts of Roger and Zhao Mao.

Anduin took the bear children to the highest and most luxurious restaurant in the city, chartered a private room on the third floor, spent money to buy a few plates of side dishes, and after a few words, he went to the pharmacy to grab some medicinal materials for Bai Suzhen's body.

Because the Tang Dynasty prohibits the slaughter of cultivated cattle, it is a pity that you can't drink braised beef like Wu Song in "Water Margin" - in fact, except for the rich families who can occasionally "die of illness", "fall to death", and "die of old age" a few cows to enjoy their mouths, it is impossible for the poor to eat beef.

Fortunately, the three poor children who came out of the ravine were not very demanding, and after eating Haisai and eliminating a few plates of side dishes like evil ghosts, the three of Zhao Mao sat at the table and chatted with each other.

Roger wiped the vegetable oil from his mouth, burped, and muttered on the table: "Really, I've never eaten so full, and now I'm willing to let me die..."

Luffy reluctantly wrapped a chicken neck with lotus leaves, "Alas, I can't stop eating it, I originally wanted to bring a chicken leg back to my mother to taste, but now only this chicken neck is left." ”

Zhao Mao glanced at them, rubbed his full stomach and said: "Mr. is not short of money, the exquisite porcelain treasured in his wooden house is probably not even in the house of Master Wang in Xingyang City, and the porcelain bowls and porcelain vases that ordinary rich families regard as treasures can be used by Mr. to plant flowers and grass, and a few meals are nothing." When the time comes, you two will beg Mr. and buy a few more dishes. ”

Roger and Luffy looked at each other and said in unison, "Why do you want us to ask for it, can't you ask for it?"

Zhao Mao waved his hand angrily and said, "It's not good for me to make a request when I just entered the master's sect today, you two are ahead of me, shouldn't you be a senior brother and seek some benefits for the little junior brother?"

"Welfare egg!"

Roger slapped the table and said indignantly: "It's just that you memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table yourself, why do you want to pull the two of us." ”

Zhao Mao sneered and said: "This is not for your good, even if you have practiced the martial arts of tearing the bear alive, if you don't know a single word, you can only be the big-headed soldier and the family keeper who cares for the rich family." Now that I'm helping you get the opportunity to learn about culture, why are you still complaining about me? ”

The bear child is like this, he wants to fight if he doesn't agree, and when the three of them are arguing, they hear a noisy noise from the bottom of the restaurant.
