Chapter 786: You and I are destined
"One, two, three~~~four!"
Sun Wu (Tian Wu), who followed the team in the morning with his shirtless shirts, shouted as he ran with a group of senior brothers, "Heaven has a great task for people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies."
The slogan is very good, but this thing of running around Qufu City made Sun Wu a little shy.
After all, it's shirtless.
Fortunately, he should lose face, and his senior brothers helped him lose it early.
The people inside and outside Qufu City, almost every day after the city gate is opened, they can see this scene, the beginning of pointing and pointing and novelty has passed, except for outsiders, there are not too many people will pay attention.
After running a lap and coming back, Sun Wu, who was sweating profusely, followed the senior brothers back to the backyard to wash.
The backyard is divided into two parts by a wall.
On one side of the wall is the living quarters, and on the other side of the wall is the paper workshop.
After washing, the group went to the cafeteria to eat.
In Sun Wu's opinion, the latest thing about this Confucian school is that it actually has to eat three meals a day.
In the words of the mountain chief Li Yunze, it is that only when you have eaten a full meal can you have the strength to train your body and bones.
I can't get enough to eat, so I'm still practicing a fart.
Breakfast is very simple, unlimited corn porridge, the porridge is very thick enough to stand on chopsticks, and there are many vegetables added to it.
Sun Wu always thought that he was very good at eating, but he saw that the senior brothers ate buckets of rice porridge one after another, and then he realized that he was still too young.
This amount of food is not worth mentioning in front of the senior brothers.
After eating rice porridge, each person also has a bowl of goat's milk to drink.
Drinking goat's milk is not an uncommon thing, because sheep are the main source of meat in this era, so raising sheep is the mainstream, and goat milk is naturally a lot.
As for milk, because cattle are too important, the most important factor in arable land, they are taken care of too well, but few people drink milk.
Milk doesn't mean that only cows can drink it, in fact, any cow's milk can be drunk, the difference is only the yield.
After breakfast, Sun Wu, who felt that his belly had been filled, began to study in the morning.
The senior brothers went to learn other things, and Sun Wu, as a newcomer, studied the comparison between Lishu and the Great Seal alone, that is, the dictionary "Shuowen Jie Zi" compiled by Li Yunze.
The things that Li Yunze made were all written in Lishu, and if you want to learn knowledge, you must start by learning Lishu.
This is the same as those international students in the modern world who study abroad and have to go to the preparatory department to learn the language first.
Of course, international students who are purely rushing to open fire and mess around don't count, it's messy.
Sun Wu's learning ability is not bad, he writes word by word on paper with a brush, and memorizes word by word, making rapid progress.
Because Li Yunze told him that learning these things is like memorizing words. Ah, it's not that difficult, I seriously memorize seven or eight dozen or twenty a day, or it won't be long before I can learn eight or nine without leaving ten.
Sun Wu studied very seriously, because he felt that whether it was kicking waves or running circles around Qufu City, he was learning the art of war.
He loved the art of war and was naturally motivated to learn it.
When I was studying hard, time flew by.
Two hours later, a senior brother knocked on the door and called him to lunch.
Putting down the brush in his hand and looking at the stack of papers written in front of him, Sun Wu nodded again and again.
"This paper, it's a good thing."
Compared with bamboo slips, the convenience of paper is much higher.
When he came to the dining hall for lunch, looking at the several wooden barrels full of dishes, Sun Wu also grinned.
The landlord's family didn't dare to eat so well.
A bucket of vegetables, bamboo shoots, leeks, celery, bitter, herbaceous, artemisia, curcuma and other different vegetables come according to the season.
The other bucket is meat, or mutton soup that even nobles may not be able to eat every day in this era.
There is also a bucket of soup, boiled soup.
The remaining buckets are staple grains such as millet, millet and millet.
Eat as many bowls as you want for the staple food.
However, the meat and vegetable soup is distributed according to the head, and the large clay bowl is stuffed for you.
When Sun Wu was in the Tian clan before, it was impossible for him to eat such meals every day.
With his identity as a concubine and a branch, at most, he is just full.
A large part of the reason why the other dozen students, except for Sun Wu, are willing to accept high-intensity training and stay, is that the food here is so good, and there is no tuition fee for free.
You must know that according to the regulations of the Zhou rites, the princes do not kill cattle for no reason, the doctors do not kill sheep for no reason, the scholars do not kill dogs and pigs for no reason, the people do not eat treasures for no reason, and the concubines do not exceed the animals.
That is to say, that is to say, only Zhou Tianzi in the world can eat too firmly without scruples, that is, the three animals used for sacrifice, and cattle, sheep and pigs can be eaten casually.
And the princes of all countries have to have a reason to eat cattle.
When you reach the position of a nobleman, you can only have the qualification to eat sheep.
The doctors are not even qualified to eat sheep, so they can only eat pig meat.
Taxis can eat fish and meat, but people in the Republic of China can only eat vegetables and are not qualified to eat meat.
And if it is under the common people, like savages, then go and eat the soil.
Although the specific food is eaten, as long as it is not slaughtered and eaten, usually no one cares.
But the rules are the rules, and the weekly rites are properly arranged.
Why did those who wanted to restore the weekly rites in later generations not receive widespread support?
Eating is restricted, and of course no one wants to support it.
The lunch was very refreshing, and it was full of food and drink.
After that, there is an hour to sleep or do something else.
Sun Wu, who was anxious to learn his skills, used this time to continue to memorize words.
The afternoon began with a cultural class of the hour, and Sun Wu was still memorizing words.
However, after the cultural class, it is the capital of Confucianism to settle down, temper the body and train martial arts.
There are a lot of various equipment on the training ground, but the first thing is to stand in a military posture, and one station is half an hour to start.
Sun Wu did not reject it, but felt that this was a good way to train discipline in the army, and secretly recorded it in his heart.
After that, there are all kinds of training, running, frog jumping, stone locks, horizontal bars and so on.
Then there are archery, sword fighting, two-player battles, and so on.
I practiced until the sun set, and then I went back to take a shower and eat dinner after finishing work.
There were no tricks for dinner, there was still enough rice, plus one fish per person, and even fruit was distributed to supplement vitamins.
Of course, the fruits also come according to the season.
Sun Wu learned very seriously, and when he ate, he also gobbled up and never fell.
There is no way, although he is from the Tian family, the Tian family is too big, if he can get the high-quality resources of the Tian family, then there is no need to run away to the Wu country.
Days like this, when there is meat to eat every day, are also a rare enjoyment for Sun Wu.
Winter goes to spring, time flies.
Sun Wu, who forgot to sleep and eat to study, finally passed the preparatory stage and officially entered the school.
When he started the road to the formal school, Shao Zhengmao directly put a thick book in front of him.
Sun Wu picked up the book and flipped through it, and asked curiously, "This is Confucianism?" ”
"What do you think?"
Shao Zhengmao was immediately amused: "This is the catalog!" ”
"Catalog?!"
When I opened the book, sure enough, every page was a different subject.
From arithmetic to scriptures, from metaphysics, to astronomy and geography, from the art of business to the art of governing the country and the country, from the art of punishment to the art of vertical and horizontal, from the art of war to the art of medicine, etc., there are more than 100 knowledge!
Sun Wu was directly dumbfounded, stretched out his hand and pointed to the book, and stammered and asked, "When do you have to learn this?" ”
Shao Zhengmao sighed and responded, "According to the mountain chief, if you want to get started, you have to study for thirty years. ”
"Three"
Sun Wu couldn't say any more.
He is only sixteen this year, but if he studies for thirty years, wouldn't he be almost fifty years old before he is qualified to go out of the mountain?!
There are indeed people who live long in these years, but most of them don't live that long, and many people don't even live to be thirty years old!
Sun Wu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that learning Confucian techniques would be so terrifying.
By the time the class reached the second day, Sun Wu was still dazed, not knowing how many years he would have to stay in this academy.
When he came back to his senses, he looked up and saw Li Yunze, who was lecturing, standing in front of him.
"Mountain, mountain chief."
"If you don't pay attention in class, how can you learn the real skills?"
Sun Wu hurriedly got up and admitted his mistake.
In this year, I learned real skills, which can really change my fate, whether it is recommended to be a doctor, or to be a guest under others, it is the improvement of status and life.
Compared with those who are unemployed after graduation in later generations, the treatment after completing their studies is completely different.
Sun Wu was flustered and didn't know how to explain it.
Then I saw Li Yunze raise his hand and knocked on the door of his head three times, "If you want to learn real skills, you must have understanding." ”
Sun Wu, who looked puzzled, raised his head and met Li Yunze's meaningful eyes.
In the modern world, it's almost time to call the police to find an uncle, after all, there are too many scum beasts.
But Sun Wu seemed to have been empowered, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
In the next lesson, Sun Wu was a little restless, as if he was struggling with something.
He wasn't bothering about the safety of his face, but about whether he would be wrong.
If the mountain chief didn't let himself learn the real skills, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?
This entanglement continued until the evening, and even when eating, I ate two bowls less.
The snoring of the senior brothers in the room was earth-shattering, but Sun Wu, who had been able to sleep peacefully in such an environment in the past, couldn't sleep at this time.
As time passed, Sun Wu, who was holding things in his heart, simply got up and dressed neatly, quietly pushed the door and walked out.
No matter what, you have to fight hard, you can't really study here for 30 years.
The mountain chief's room is in the backyard, next to the paper workshop.
In the dead of night, Sun Wu quietly touched the door by the moonlight.
I subconsciously wanted to knock on the door, but I gently pushed the door and it opened.
Sun Wu was ecstatic in his heart, he guessed correctly!
Pushing the door in, the room suddenly lit up with candlelight.
Under the candlelight, Li Yunze sat behind the bookcase and looked at him with his head bowed.
Sun Wu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Mountain Chief."
"Don't call the mountain chief."
Li Yunze, who was smiling, nodded, "You are destined for me, so I will accept you as the first officially registered big disciple." ”
Sun Wu solemnly saluted again: "Master! ”
"Good."
Li Yunze smiled undiminishedly, and stretched out his hand to gesture to the two stacks of books on the bookcase, "I have two sets of military techniques here, one is said to be thirty-six strategies, but the country can be strong." The second is called 72 roads, which can be strong. ”
"You, which one to learn?"
