Chapter 50: The Autumn Wind Rises
In the conference hall, Zhou Ping looked at the dolls of different heights in front of him, and only felt that his head was not ordinarily big.
"Shhh...... I said, last time we were in Yucun, there shouldn't be so many dolls......"
The last time we met, there were only a dozen, and this time there are almost thirty. Zhou Ping turned his head to ask Diao Chan, and asked with a frown.
"There are really not so many in Yu Village, but somehow, the news spread to other villages, so a few families sent their children over."
"Alas......"
Zhou Ping nodded slightly, sighed, he glanced at these dolls, the oldest was estimated to be only eleven or twelve years old, and the younger one was not even as tall as the bench he was sitting on.
Is this the wisdom of the working people, send the young doll to me, and then take it back to do farm work when it is raised, not to mention anything else, at least you can save a ration, this is to treat me as a free nursery, right?
Probably this is the price of the "teacher of benevolence and righteousness", if he is still the same bandit style as before, I think these villagers will not send their children over, from another point of view, this is also a manifestation of the villagers' trust in themselves.
"Zhou Ping, then should we send the extra dolls back?"
These dolls were collected by Diao Chan, and seeing that Zhou Ping's color was wrong, Diao Chan felt that he seemed to have disrupted Zhou Ping's arrangement, so he hurriedly asked.
"No, since the folks trust us, then let's not let it down, it's just that there are so many dolls, just scatter them as I thought before......"
After thinking briefly about the appearance of a large group of children behind his buttocks, Zhou Ping shook his head and turned his gaze to Diao Chan.
"Diao Chan, are you interested in taking them to read and write?"
"Huh? Can I? ”
"Of course you can, it's just reading and writing, if you look at it from the perspective of learning, you are one of the best in our place."
Indeed, for Zhou Ping's current grass platform team, Diao Chan, who has received professional maid education from Wang Yun, can indeed be regarded as knowledgeable, although she mostly learns piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the light of literacy is already above many people.
And Diao Chan has always been at ease when doing the previous paperwork, and now with the addition of teaching children, it is estimated that she can handle it.
Although there are not many empty houses in the cottage, they are not so much that they can't be vacated, and a simple classroom is built after cleaning an empty warehouse, moving a few tables and chairs at random.
"You don't have to watch them all day, ask them to follow them for military training in the morning, and in the afternoon you teach them to read and write for an hour or two.
There may not be four books and five classics in the cottage, but there are still a lot of various manuscripts of "Taiping Yaoshu" - Qi Laosan spread it widely in Tongguan, and it also radiated to the cottage to some extent, and the people in the village who were not originally the Yellow Turban Army began to hold and look at it in their spare time.
Zhou Ping told Diao Chan a few more details, such as children playing if they are disobedient, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting if they want to teach, don't be tired of yourself, and so on.
However, after a few words, Zhou Ping suddenly realized that it was very important that as soon as Diao Chan taught the child, wouldn't he spend less time with him - didn't he let Diao Chan be his secretary just for more opportunities to get in touch?
What a mistake, what a mistake!
So, in Zhou Ping's remorse, Diao Chan's primary school opened.
……
There is no big deal, the days are naturally leisurely, and in the leisurely time, its passage is not so easy to detect.
"It's autumn."
It seemed that overnight, the whole mountain suddenly turned golden, and looking at the golden leaves that were still hanging on the trees, Zhou Ping sighed in hindsight.
"Yes, the autumn harvest is almost here."
Liu Scaryan on the side sighed, and the two glanced at each other, and their expressions were not as relaxed as before.
Autumn belongs to gold, and the main soldier kills, this sentence is not just superstition, but has its truth. After the autumn harvest, not only is there plenty of food and grass for your own side, but the benefits of plundering the enemy are also abundant. If you look at the facts, it is time to hand over the double monthly money that Zhang Yan has to pay, although there is no Zhou Ping's share in it, but in any case, Yuan Shao's attack plan that has been prepared for a long time will finally be implemented.
The big forces will fight, and the small forces will not fall. As soon as the monthly money is doubled, those forces with a weak family background will naturally want to fill their own vacancies, and those with a thick family background will want to take advantage of the other party's vacancies to expand.
"After a summer of idleness, whether you want to fight or not, we are destined to be peaceful."
"Do we want to fight or don't we want to fight?"
"Shall we?"
Zhou Ping smiled, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
"Yu Dabao over there is going to leave in a few days, he has such a large territory, not to mention occupying it all, it shouldn't be too much to take over a few neighboring villages."
Pointing into the distance, Zhou Ping suddenly had a kind of heroism in pointing out the country.
"It's not excessive, but it's ......"
"But what?"
"Virtuous teacher, Yu Dabao's territory is not here, it's over there."
Standing on tiptoe, Liu Scaryan carefully pulled Zhou Ping's fingers and corrected Zhou Ping's small mistakes.
……
Zhou Ping's side can only be regarded as a small fight, before Dabao set off, Zhou Ping can do more than wait, but Zhang Yan in the center of the whirlpool, he can do a lot.
"Zhonglang General, even those who were sent over to fight, the monthly money from Yanmen was delivered."
It was Gongsun Yuan who reported on military affairs, he was tall and half-knelt in front of Zhang Yan, with Zhang Yan's trust in him, he didn't have to, but if he was standing, it was inconvenient for him, and Zhang Yan was even more inconvenient.
"How many are there?"
"It's an integer, four thousand, but almost fifteen hundred of them are Huns."
Yanmen County was close to the territory of the Huns, and the situation there was similar to that of Hedong County, and there were several tribes of the Huns who relied on Zhang Yan's protection.
"Is it a skirmish or a clan?"
"It's the tribe, and they seem to have sent an entire tribe of people over."
"That's ......"
Zhang Yan rubbed his eyebrows, he was a little worried, not that he was worried about what happened to the Huns that caused a tribe to be sent over, but that he was simply worried about how to deal with the Huns of this tribe.
If it is a straggler, then it is not impossible to treat them as Han Chinese, but if it is a tribe, it will be much more troublesome - hastily dismantling them will cause a mutiny, and if they are not separated, then any order is not in order, it will still be a mutiny.
That's it, I don't want to think about it, I'm really going to mess up and kill it when the time comes!
“…… Forget it, ignore them for now, Mr. Gongsun, how are you preparing over there? ”
"The soldiers are strong and the morale is like a rainbow, and they can fight a battle!"
Three sentences and twelve words, to the core, the self-confidence in it made Zhang Yan couldn't help but be shocked.
"Good!"
