Chapter 9 Departure to Xuzhou

Since there is no shortage of money in his hand, Li Hao began to prepare to practice his own troops, after all, this world will continue to have wars of all sizes for more than ten years, and there is no elite soldiers and horses under his command, Li Hao can not rest assured.

And now that the autumn harvest has passed, the busy farming season has passed, and the subordinates can be liberated.

It's just that Li Hao encountered some difficulties this time, after all, Li Hao trained his family's private soldiers, not for the imperial court like in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, in some aspects, it is inevitable that you need to avoid it, such as strong crossbows and armor, which are not easy to get, of course, it does not mean that Li Hao can't get it or can't do it.

This world's famous wealthy family, which family can really not take out hundreds of armor and bows and crossbows, after all, Emperor Wen didn't get much of the good things in the arsenals of various places in the previous dynasty.

Most of them were carved up at the time of the chaos, and the big heads naturally fell into the hands of powerful people everywhere, but many wealthy families must have also taken a share of the pie.

It's just that there are relevant prohibitions on the part of the imperial court, and most people choose to hide things in case of trouble.

Therefore, it is not good for Li Hao to violate the ban openly, so as not to be truthful.

But if you don't practice these things at all, you can't do it, and if you encounter any critical situation in the future, you have to make sure that these people can use them when they get their weapons.

Armor and the like are good to say, as long as the physical strength is sufficient and a certain amount of weight-bearing training is guaranteed, the effect can basically be achieved, but the use of the bow and crossbow is a technical work.

In order to solve this problem, Li Hao simply divided the entire training process into two steps, first training the military formation, physical strength, and sword and gun melee in Jiaodong, and waiting for Li Hao to be satisfied.

You can go to Xuzhou and send it to Yuan Pei to assist in suppressing the bandits, so that you can experience actual combat and let them see more blood, secondly, they can also borrow the bow and crossbow in the army for training, and thirdly, they can take this opportunity to meet Cheng Shi, killing three birds with one stone.

The person specifically responsible for presiding over the drill is the veteran that Yuan Pei found, anyway, in terms of learning to march and fight, Li Hao's progress is fast and accessible, and he doesn't need to bother at all.

There is no way, after all, if you really want to talk about it, the number of wars and the scale of the battles that this veteran has experienced are estimated to be really not as good as Li Hao.

Li Hao's current lack is based on the understanding of the Han Dynasty's military formation and logistics, after all, there is a generation difference between the various equipment used in the two eras, so the corresponding tactics used are also different.

After these things are familiarized, Li Hao will be able to bring his own experience into them, and there will not be much that the veteran can teach at this time.

Since he had free time, the veteran was not willing to be idle, so he happened to be pulled by Li Hao to preside over the matter, and then Li Hao himself participated in it.

In this way, it is to summarize the lessons of the veterans based on their personal experience, adjust the training methods appropriately, and secondly, to stimulate the enthusiasm of the training of the subordinates.

After all, with the sister-in-law of the Yuan family training together, those subordinates are embarrassed to be lazy, and even in order to show their faces in front of Li Hao and fight for a chance to get ahead, many people are even training hard.

So the training of the part was indeed very smooth, but it went smoothly here, but others were not very happy.

On this day, the Liang family sent someone to call Li Hao away from the school, saying that he had something to invite Li Hao to ask him to question, which made Li Hao confused, and he didn't know that he had been quite honest recently, and he hadn't made any mistakes.

On the way, Li Hao originally wanted to inquire about the guards who came to summon him, but he couldn't get anything out.

There's no way, who made her own mother amazing, don't look at her staying in the sacrificial hall all day, but this is still very good at governing the family, and this is an old man brought out from the Liang family, Li Hao is even more helpless.

When he returned to Yuan's mansion, Li Hao saw Master Qin on the Liang family's side, and probably knew what the problem was, it seemed that he was busy with trilogy training during this time, and he was slow to treat Master Qin's side, so he was notified to his parents.

Sure enough, Liang asked, "I heard that you have been so focused on military affairs that you haven't been going to Master Qin's schoolwork recently?" ”

Li Hao immediately replied: "That's true, the training of the part has become more and more intense recently, so it has been delayed a little.

But I didn't just let go of my knowledge, after all, the Yuan family is a family heirloom with poetry and books, so I naturally don't dare to fall into the reputation of the Yuan family.

Although I haven't gone to class in the past few days, I still used my free time to complete the homework assigned by Master Qin. ”

When Liang heard this, he replied: "Yes, then I will let Master Qin test you, if you really did not delay your schoolwork, then I will not pursue it today."

But if you have deceived me, then I will punish you, you know. ”

"A child will never dare to deceive his mother." After Li Hao replied to Liang's words, he said to Master Qin: "Please ask Master to come up with the question." ”

Master Qin was very happy when he heard this, and directly brought a book from the side.

Li Hao opened it and saw that this topic had been prepared a long time ago, and it was somewhat out of step of the outline of what Master Qin taught.

Obviously, the person who came up with the question made up his mind, and he had to grind his own today.

However, he miscalculated after all, where is Li Hao an ordinary person, although Master Qin did not completely teach this completely.

But Li Hao's governance of the scriptures did not start from this world, the development of the Song Dynasty scriptures was better than today, Li Hao had wasted a lot of hard work for the imperial examination, where was it so easy to pass the exam.

After a smooth answer, Li Hao confidently handed it over to Master Qin for review.

When Liang saw Li Hao's appearance, and then saw Qin Fuzi's somewhat sluggish appearance, he was also curious about Li Hao's answer.

So he asked out loud: "Master Qin, how is my son's answer?" ”

When Master Qin heard this, he said: "The little boy answered very well, but it was a little unexpected to me, it seems that the little boy does not come to my schoolwork, but the things he learns are stronger, and the specific thing is to see it himself." ”

As he spoke, he handed the book to Liang, turned his head and stared at Li Hao, not knowing what he was thinking.

After reading it here, Liang Shi also had a deep meaning to Li Hao, and then said to Li Hao: "Since you answered well today, which proves that you have not forgotten your schoolwork, then I will not punish you this time." ”

Then he asked Master Qin to go down to rest, leaving Li Hao alone to speak.

After the two were silent for a while, Liang took the lead in speaking: "I've read your previous articles, and there is not much brilliance in the rules.

But looking at your article today, whether it is the idea, the wording, or the dictionary is extremely brilliant, it is by no means a day's work.

Could it be that you are deliberately hiding your clumsiness every day, but why is this, is it because you are worried about me and your father? And why are you revealing today? ”

For today's emergence, in fact, Li Hao already had an idea, originally Li Hao planned to live in peace.

But from the time the bandits met Wan Songbai, and then to the invention of Quyuan plow, the name Yuan Ang has been stamped by Emperor Wen, and I am afraid that the leisure in the future is gone.

Since he can't hide, then Li Hao simply raised his profile, anyway, he can't wronged himself, wouldn't he lose the face of the crowd.

After hearing Liang's words, Li Hao immediately explained: "My father and mother treat me very well, and my brother is also a clear and open-minded person, so I have nothing to worry about."

It's just that I'm tired and lazy on weekdays, and my brother is on top of everything anyway, and I'm too lazy to be in the limelight.

As for the revelation now, it's just that the child finds himself interested in military affairs and wants to spend more time on it.

Then I always convince my mother that I can do both, otherwise my mother can agree to my idea? ”

Liang pondered for a few seconds when he heard this, and said: "It's about your schoolwork, I can't make the decision, I will send a message to your father on this matter, and let him decide."

Before your father replies to the letter, you can't stop Master Qin's class, but the number of class days can be halved, and I will discuss it with Master Qin. ”

Hearing this, Li Hao immediately understood that this was half the battle, and immediately replied happily: "Thank you mother for your success, the child must follow the teachings." ”

Later, in order to increase the probability of Liang and Yuan Pei's consent, in the face of Qin Fuzi's schoolwork, Li Hao began to fire on it, anyway, Qin Fuzi was stunned.

And Yuan Pei's reply did not disappoint Li Hao, but Yuan Pei did not mention much about Li Hao's so-called talent in the letter.

First, it may not have been seen with your own eyes, after all, there are some unbelievers; The second is to directly show that Li Hao should do what he likes, just like he did at the beginning.

Anyway, now that the family has his father to support him, and Yuan Shen to inherit the family business, Li Hao doesn't have to deliberately take any responsibility.

This ending is much better than Li Hao originally envisioned, and it seems that Yuan Pei saw the shadow of his past in himself.

If it weren't for Emperor Er's rebellion, maybe Yuan Pei would still be a Ren Xia now, accompanying his beloved girl to travel all over the mountains and rivers.

After clarifying Yuan Pei's opinion, Liang made the decision to let Li Hao choose his own coursework, but the premise was that Li Hao promised not to throw away the poems, books and etiquette, and he still had to learn what he should learn, but he didn't need to spend so much time.

As for Master Qin's side, the Liang family also talked to him, after all, Li Hao did this, it must be disrespectful to this master.

So if Master Qin wants to leave, the Liang family can also understand, and is willing to give a big gift to apologize.

In fact, after thinking about it again, Master Qin really left, and was personally escorted out of Qingzhou by Li Hao, as a sign of honor as a teacher.

After Master Qin left, the Liang family did not invite the teacher to come again, after all, with Li Hao's scattered study time, no one was willing to come.

A good master is naturally temperamental, so he is used to seeing this kind of look, so Liang simply came to catch it himself.

At this point, Li Hao has enough time to train the trilogy, provided that as long as Li Hao's articles can always be done to the satisfaction of the Liang family.

After all, this is a big thing in an agricultural society, and if you really miss the agricultural time, you don't know how many people will starve to death.

However, with the help of Quyuan plough this time, the Yuan family's cultivation was quickly completed ahead of schedule.

After that, it took some time to reclaim the wasteland, but not much.

No way, Jiaodong is not a wild place after all, it has been a densely populated place since ancient times.

During the period of spring plowing and autumn harvest, since it was not possible to do large-scale training, Li Hao took advantage of his free time to start his own road of invention.

This time, Li Hao's goal is to improve the papermaking technique, and the current books are too thick, and there is a large stack of complete Analects when you put it down, which is really not convenient enough.

Another is the problem of going to the toilet, Li Hao didn't have much money when he first came, and it was not good to ask Yuan Pei and Liang for money for this matter.

After all, they didn't spend much on it, until Li Hao earned his first money, and then he began to wipe it with silk.

Comfortable is comfortable, but it's too extravagant, Li Hao is a little distressed, so he simply did Cai Lun's work in advance and improved the papermaking technology.

Of course, Li Hao must be more thorough than Cai Lun to do it, after all, Li Hao directly used the papermaking technology of the Song Dynasty.

Anyway, the process is still the same, but the Yuan family itself has a papermaking workshop, but the original production cost is too high, and silkworm cocoons need to be used.

After all, good cocoons are used to weave silk, even if it is a poor quality cocoon, its price is not very cheap, and even if the cost is so high, the paper made is still rough and useless.

After Li Hao concentrated his manpower, the first thing he did was to adjust the raw materials and use materials that were easy to obtain and inexpensive to make new paper.

After the cost is obtained, the quality will be improved step by step, anyway, the craftsmen of the Yuan family have been driven by Li Hao in the past two years, especially when Li Hao is willing to spend money, and the ability of iterative development has improved rapidly.

After all, as long as the method proposed by the craftsman is really effective, then Li Hao will give real money, and he can also release them as commoners, of course, he will definitely not let them leave the Yuan family.

But even so, it is still a great temptation for these people.

Before the autumn harvest, the white paper that Li Hao had been thinking about was finally produced, although it was not as good as the quality of modern paper, but at least there was no problem with normal writing.

At the first time, Li Hao showed this thing to the Liang family, and the Liang family didn't care about it at first, but later heard that this paper was personally supervised by Li Hao during this time.

He immediately asked: "What is the cost and output of this white paper?" Because Liang knew that Li Hao would not do anything that was lost, since he had done it, it would definitely be meaningful.

Li Hao replied: "The cost of this paper is very low, it is made of bark, hemp, rattan, wheat straw, straw and other raw materials.

But it doesn't take much skill to make it, as long as you are willing to put people into it, the yield is not a problem. ”

When Liang heard this, he said: "If this is the case, then you have done a great thing for the world's scholars, and when are you going to officially produce it." ”

Li Hao replied: "I came to my mother today, just to say this, since you want to make paper on a large scale, the original workshop will naturally not be enough, and you need to re-plan, and I haven't thought about how to sell this paper."

Now that it is approaching autumn, I plan to lead the tribe to Xuzhou first, so I am afraid that I will not have time to keep an eye on this matter, so I want to come and ask my mother to go out of the mountain.

I supervised the production of the workshop, but the paper produced was sealed first, and when I returned from Xuzhou, I would make a decision. ”
