"Bang, bang" exploded a few times, and the water on the pond splashed, rising into the air, and with the help of the sunshine, a rainbow was conjured.

The boys and girls by the pool cheered excitedly.

This is a course that Zheng Haizhu named "Gezhi".

Today's class content is Lu Xiangsheng experimenting with the mines he learned from Wang Minghe's book "Fire Attack Answer", such an exciting and fun game is naturally more attractive to children than some difficult geometric principles on paper.

In the midst of the excitement, Zheng Haizhu walked over and asked loudly: "Students, is the mine made by Mr. Lu very powerful?" ”

"Well, Miss Zheng, Mr. looks like Lei Gong in the playbook."

"You're not right, Lei Gong thunders in the sky, and Mr. Lu is more powerful than Lei Gong, and he can thunder underwater."

"Sir, sir, quickly teach us to make a chain boat, that is, the kind of chain boat that can sink a big ship, will you teach it tomorrow?"

"Teach it today, sir!"

"Yes, yes, I'll teach it today, otherwise I won't want to sleep."

The tall and short students, like stars holding the moon, surrounded Lu Xiangsheng, who had fished out the wreckage of the small wooden boat from the pond, and pulled his sleeves.

Sincere sycophants, and earnest requests, rolling in.

Lu Xiangsheng was like a cat mother crawling all over her body with little milk cats, she was squeezed and couldn't move, and she was a little overwhelmed in her gentleness, and she threw a look at Zheng Haizhu for help.

Zheng Haizhu smiled secretly, the "King Lu Yan" who beat the enemy on the battlefield in the future to cry his father and mother, is the child king who is loved by everyone at this moment, and his strength is "the primary and secondary school teacher who moved the Ming Dynasty".

Zheng Haizhu then stepped forward to drive away the children, while taking the opportunity to instill the importance of cultural classes: "Let's go, let's go to poetry and literature classes, if Mr. Lu didn't learn to read and write well in the past, where would he read books that know how to talk about firearms, and make such a powerful mine?" ”

She grabbed a boy with a sleek face again, and bluffed: "Liu Daqiang, did you make Mr. Yao angry again yesterday?" In the afternoon word class, if you take the boys and draw the big characters that should be written into all kinds of grenades and artillery, I don't have Mr. Yao's patience, I will kick you away directly, and you go home to draw your Wumo regiment. The school has school rules, don't you think that when I see your father and call me Liu Ye, you can be trick-or-treating on my mountain. ”

This boy is the son of Liu Zhutou, the government office, and his sister Liu Xiaomei came to Zheng Haizhu's school to be enlightened.

Da Qiang inherited his Lao Tzu's spiritual energy, and knew that in school, whether it was the official scroll Yao family, Xiucai's brother Lu Xiangsheng, and another old Confucian from social studies, a gentleman who was said to be sent by Xu Hanlin to teach geometry, and several masters who taught labor skills, they were not as fierce as Miss Zheng.

Daqiang likes it here, and he doesn't want to be driven home by the hard-hearted Miss Zheng.

The little boy solemnly admitted that he didn't dare to make another time, and beckoned his classmates to go back to the classroom to lay paper and polish ink and prepare for class.

When the poolside was restored, Zheng Haizhu smiled at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Thank you Gongzi for accepting my reluctant invitation to teach the children the development of firearms and the first theory of the art of war, and squeezing out Gongzi's study time." ”

Lu Xiangsheng has lived in the school library for almost a month, and when he meets the young woman in front of him, he can already talk calmly.

"Miss Zheng, don't be so polite, your library building, Yu Lu, is like the treasure of Yaochi, these dolls are like children in the fairy world, Lu loves to play with them when he reads military books."

When he said this, he leaned over and scooped up the other two cow urine bubbles that were not filled with oil, and after observing the details of the water seepage, he suddenly sighed sincerely: "It's a pity, I'm going to Nanjing Township next year to try ......."

How could Zheng Haizhu not hear the meaning of his words of falling in love with the book, and hurriedly said: "It's a pity how to say the word?" Childe, now the Ming Dynasty is a civilian official in charge of the army, since the son loves the art of war, respects martial arts, and likes firearms, he should be titled on the gold list and awarded an official position. ”

The corners of Lu Xiangsheng's mouth twitched slightly.

When Miss Zheng first met, she said that she was the long-term employee of the Han Mansion, and only because the main family was very generous and open-minded, and she was lucky enough to meet several nobles, she could get out of the boudoir, open a school, and do business.

But Lu Xiangsheng clearly felt that this woman's insight, temperament and keen ability to perceive people's hearts were better than many groups who claimed to be "masters, nobles, Hongru, and Shuyuan".

I only heard Zheng Haizhu say again: "However, it would be better for Gongzi Lu to live in Songjiang for a while longer." On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to see a real person about this. General Ma went back to Beijing this time, and I asked him to forward a letter to Xu Guangqi and Xu Hanlin. In the letter, I took the liberty of asking Xu Hanlin if he could find a former Yunnan general named Zhang Mingshi. ”

Lu Xiangsheng raised his eyebrows: "This counselor is ......"

Zheng Haizhu said: "He is not from Yunnan, but from the Zhang family in Shanyin, Shaoxing, and he is the same as the son of the Zhang family who funded my school." However, he should be in prison now. ”

The Zhang Mingshi that Zheng Haizhu is talking about is the general who led two battalions of Zhejiang soldiers and fought the Jurchens in the bloody battle in the Hunhe River with Qi Jin, a descendant of Qi Jiguang in the history of the Apocalypse, and is also a general from a literati background.

Zhang Mingshi is very good at making firearms, judging from the historical records, after Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, recommended him to be released from prison, he worked the battlefield against Houjin, and was a qualified bloody man.

In these days, Lu Xiangsheng often heard Zheng Haizhu bluntly express that he wanted to set up another military academy in the south of the Yangtze River, such as the Guozijian or the famous academy where he studied and practiced his career, to train young people who knew the art of war and firearms.

Unexpectedly, when I heard it again, this General Zhang was actually in prison.

Zheng Haizhu also showed a helpless sigh: "Lu Gongzi, Zhang Shen will quell the rebellion in Miaobu, and he has been involved in several books of imperial history, and the aid is not timely, and he is a good man, and he is a good man, Shaoxing people talk about it, and they think it is framed, but the court has imprisoned him for five years." General Zhang's greatest excellence is that he is good at making and using firearms. I have seen the firearms of the Franky people in the Fujian Sea, so I hope that the old men who are good at firearms can serve the imperial court. Coincidentally, General Ma is going to be the east bed of the squire of the military department, and the matchmaker is the commander of the Shenji Battalion, isn't the Shenji Battalion just a firearm? And Xu Hanlin already attaches great importance to firearms. Therefore, I wrote this letter to Xu Hanlin, and told General Ma in person about the reason, to see if I could run to rescue General Zhang. ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, Rao was not looking down on Zheng Haizhu, and he inevitably showed a look of "You think too simply" in an instant.

Zheng Haizhu did not resist his instinctive reaction, but met Lu Xiangsheng's gaze more and more openly.

"Master Lu, I really like to think of everything simply, and when I think of it, I have to try to do it. In my opinion, these are not good words. It is really useless for men to pursue these. We women should not follow suit. ”

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, not because he was offended, but because he was thinking carefully.

For the first time, he heard that the officialdom of "not showing the edge" and "being with the light and the dust" were regarded as unproductive arguments.

Zheng Haizhu continued: "Master Lu, I am a merchant who sells goods, and I will not hesitate to make jokes or cause trouble before I say anything or do something. If I mention mine, the other party can refuse. If I don't refuse, it means that what I say and do, and I am not so stupid, it means that there may be a drama in this matter. Even if it is useless to rescue General Zhang from prison, I also made a second request, can I visit General Zhang's personal generals, we will be hired to come to Songjiang to develop firearms, and then Lu Gongzi can also refer to it together. ”

Lu Xiangsheng has a gentle appearance, but his nature is actually rigid.

He likes to attack with open fire, which is very different from those who are either gloomy or cowardly.

At this moment, he tasted it a little, and he didn't think that Zheng Haizhu's words were anything ridiculous.

He then said bluntly: "Miss Zheng is humble, what is stupid or not, you don't ask for help when you see anyone." You must have been selected, not only to have or be able to reach the heavens, but also to be a fellow believer with you, such as General Ma. ”

Zheng Haizhu nodded unabashedly: "Childe is right, I appreciate Xianglin and trust Xianglin." A smart man like him, who was born in a family of military ministers, could not understand that when Nurhachi established himself as a khan last year, the imperial court would increasingly need to use soldiers and generals. Under the nest, how can there be no eggs, I wish I was a man, I could enter the imperial examination, and I could lead the army with an official position, but unfortunately I am not, I am a woman, I can't take the imperial examination, I can't be a courtier, I can't lead a soldier. I can only use the way I have figured it out myself, and do my best to be a Ming people. This way is to make money, for General Qin, General Ma, General Zhang, oh and Lu Gongzi, I want to help characters like you. Neither shall you let the people of the Ming Dynasty be deceitfully deceited and ravaged. ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard the end, he suddenly felt as if he had been knocked on his chest, not heavy or heavy, but the aftermath was clear.

Seventeen-year-old Lu Xiangsheng, with a family and clan, a teacher, a talent, traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, and read a huge and complex group of books outside the Four Books and Five Classics, and has been regarded as the best among the young people of the Ming Dynasty.

But the simple and plain woman in front of him, with calm eyes, used unpretentious and crisp language, so that his thoughts began to be on the axis of time, and suddenly abandoned the situation in front of him and rushed forward.

"I'm going to get money and help you. You shall not teach the people of the Ming Dynasty to be deceived and ravaged. ”

Such a simple sentence conveys the least simple ambition, as well as the least simple expectation for men.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect that his confusion about the practice of literature and martial arts, his sense of smell for the future crisis of the empire, and his plan for the picture of life would be cleared by a member of the group who had never looked at him equally.

He squinted at the shimmering waters of the pool.

He seems to be wandering in the clouds, and he is down-to-earth.

"Sister Azhu......"

A soft female voice, as if she couldn't swallow tea in her mouth, suddenly sounded behind Lu Xiangsheng and Zheng Haizhu.

The two turned around, but saw Han Ximeng's cousin, Han Xiying, and Gu Fu's eldest daughter-in-law, Shen Shi, standing side by side at the door of the Moon Cave.
