Chapter 113: Arrange a small job for Zhu Di
"And, most importantly, for a master like me, who lectures you, Your Highness gives me an extra salary every month.
I don't know if you know about this?
However, it doesn't matter, you just need to know that these masters are invited by His Royal Highness King Yan to give lectures to you, and the salary is quite a lot!
If you end up spending His Royal Highness's money, and you still haven't learned anything, then how His Royal Highness King Yan treats you is not something that our little right long history can know......"
With Guo An's words, the faces of the attendants and generals below began to become solemn.
His Royal Highness will naturally punish them heavily, how else can he treat them?
"Is it true that Guo Changshi just said about the salary?" A military general hurriedly asked.
"When did we fool you?" Guo An chuckled.
"I don't know what Guo Changshi's salary is?" A military general asked curiously, with some expectation in his eyes.
"Knowledge is a priceless thing, how can we tell you?"
Guo An smiled lightly, ignoring the resentful eyes of those generals, and said directly: "Now, you can tell us, what books do you want to read?" ”
"What Guo Changshi just said is that we are military generals, I don't know if Guo Changshi has a military book?"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals were full of expectations.
Guo An's eyes also lit up, "The Book of War? ”
"Exactly!"
All the generals nodded in unison.
"We are Confucian children, and we don't have a book of war!" Guo An shook his head slowly.
All the generals couldn't help but be disappointed.
Guo An said again: "However, His Royal Highness King Yan likes to lead troops to fight, and His Royal Highness should have a lot of military books!" ”
"Yes, yes, Your Highness must have a military book!"
At this time, all the generals were all happy.
"Then I wonder what kind of military book you want to read?" Guo An asked again.
"Guo Changshi, there are many kinds of military books?" A military general wondered.
"This is natural!"
Guo An nodded slightly, "The most widely circulated now is the "Art of War" written by Sun Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
However, in addition to such sacred texts of military science, there are also "Shennong's Art of War", "Yellow Emperor's Art of War", or "Military Chronicles" and "Military Administration" of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
In addition, there is also Sima Sui Tho's "Sima Sui Tho Art of War".
Wu Zixu's "The Art of Water Warfare", this book seems to be the Art of Water Warfare.
"Wu Zi's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Guiguzi", "Wei Yizi".
Also, Zhuge Wuhou's "General Garden", "Wuhou Bachen Art of War", Cao Cao's "Mengde New Book".
Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty "Li Weigong Art of War" and Song Dynasty "Wujing General Essentials" ......"
Below, the generals were already wide-eyed and breathing.
"Dare to ask Guo Changshi, there are still so many military books and classics in the world? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Guo An sneered, "Although you are military generals, you don't know big characters, how can you know so many books on the art of war?" ”
"Yes!"
After saying so many military books, a group of generals have long admired Guo An directly.
"However, His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't seem to have ever mentioned these ancient books? Will His Highness not have these military books either? ”
Suddenly, a military general whispered.
"Impossible, how could His Royal Highness King Yan not have these ancient books?" The generals on the side directly glared and shouted angrily.
"His Royal Highness King Yan must have it!"
Another military general said with an affirmative face.
Above, Guo An smiled with satisfaction and said: "Generals, don't be impatient, any of these ancient books on the art of war are holy books of war, and some classics His Royal Highness King Yan may not have them."
However, according to His Royal Highness's love for military books, as long as you inform His Royal Highness King Yan of the names of these military book classics, His Highness will definitely look for them! ”
"Yes, yes, Guo Changshi is still resourceful, as long as we inform His Royal Highness King Yan of these military documents, His Royal Highness King Yan will definitely be able to find them!"
The generals were full of excitement.
Suddenly, another military general said: "Guo Changshi, can you tell me those military books and classics again, I didn't remember them!" ”
Hearing this, all the generals were stunned in place, staring at each other with big eyes, and they seemed to have forgotten!
"Aren't you all forgetting?" Guo An said with a smile.
"Guo Changshi is wise!"
"Those soldiers' classics are good, but they are too tongue-twisting!"
“……”
All the generals were full of sneers.
"It's okay!"
Guo An smiled heartily, "There are too many ancient books of soldiers, even if we tell you a few more times, you won't be able to remember!" ”
"However, we can write it down on paper for you, and you can each write down a book!"
"Thank you Guo Changshi!"
The generals were directly overjoyed.
"Guo Changshi, there is a good white paper here!"
"Guo Changshi, I'll give you ink!"
"Guo Changshi, let's give you ......"
In an instant, a group of generals surrounded Guo An and offered all kinds of courtesy to Guo An.
However, these generals have never done these jobs, especially the one who studied ink, as if he wanted to smash the entire inkstone, Guo An hurriedly shouted to stop.
"Hurry up, press it again, and the inkstone will be smashed by you!"
"Hey, Guo Changshi......"
"You and the others are watching from the sidelines, let Ma He come and help us study ink!" Guo An said politely.
"Who is Ma He?"
"Who are you waiting for?"
"Is Guo Changshi mistaken, there is no military general named Ma He among us."
After shouting for a long time, the generals reacted.
"What we are shouting is the inner servant Ma He, and the generals such as Er are rough and rough, and killing people is a good hand, but the meticulous work of grinding ink still needs to be handed over to the inner servant!"
Guo An said helplessly.
"Guo Changshi, the villain is here."
Just then, Ma Kazuya squeezed in from the outside.
Guo An said: "Give us the ink!" ”
Ma He replied with a grateful face: "Yes!" ”
Immediately, he hurriedly grinded the ink.
Guo An also began to cut the paper, and when the ink was ready, he wrote on the paper and said, "Sun Wu, Sun Tzu's Art of War!" ”
"You should have heard of this military book!"
"I've heard it, I've heard it!"
The generals nodded again and again.
"Here, wait until you get it first!"
Guo An picked up the piece of paper and handed it to a military general, and wrote again: "Shennong's Art of War" and "Yellow Emperor's Art of War" ......"
After teaching the generals to read it twice, they continued to write.
In this way, he stopped after writing all the military books he had just said.
And at this time, in the hands of all the generals, each of them held a piece of paper with a military book written on it, and remembered it silently with a serious face.
Guo An repeated the teaching several times, and although the generals could not remember all the military books, they could also remember the military books in their hands.
Guo An is very satisfied with this.
"Okay, you can go to His Royal Highness King Yan and ask for books!"
"Thank you Guo Changshi, thank you Guo Changshi for ......"
The generals carefully folded the paper in their hands, and then walked out in a hurry.
In the school, after arranging a job for Zhu Di, Guo An walked back happily.
……
In the heart hall, Zhu Di is approving some affairs of the Yan Wangfu in recent days.
Suddenly, there was a familiar commotion outside.
Zhu Di looked up, and his mind suddenly jumped.
"The last general will see His Highness!"
Your Highness, directly kneeling down to suppress a group of generals.
"Didn't you follow Guo Changshi to read and write in the school, why did you come here suddenly?"
"Your Highness, the last general and others have left the hall!"
The military general led by him said with a happy face.
"Got out of class?"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then his face became gloomy.
"We remember that Guo An went to the school for less than half an hour, why did you leave the hall so quickly, but Guo An didn't give you a good lecture?"
"Your Highness has misunderstood!"
"Your Highness, Guo Changshi spoke excellently!"
To Zhu Di's surprise, as soon as his words fell, this group of unruly generals were full of praise for Guo An.
"Oh?"
Zhu Di straightened up and asked curiously: "We're a little curious, how good is Guo An's words?" ”
The military general replied: "Your Highness, those masters before were all talking to me and others that they couldn't understand.
Only this Guo Changshi will let me wait for myself to choose a book, let me wait for myself to choose what books to study! ”
"Oh?"
Zhu Di was even more curious.
"What books did you study?"
At this time, a group of generals spoke in high spirits.
"Back to Your Highness, the last general learned Sun Wu's "The Art of War"!"
"Your Highness, the last general learned Sima Sui Tho's "Sima Sui Tho's Art of War".
"The last general learned Wu Zixu's "The Art of Water Warfare".
"The last general will be Li Jing's "Li Weigong's Art of War"."
"The last general will be Zhuge Wuhou's "General Garden" and "Wuhou Bachen Art of War".
"The last general is Cao Cao's "New Book of Mengde", ......"
At first, Zhu Di's face was full of joy when he listened, but the more he listened, the darker his face became.
"In such a short period of time, then Guo An can tell you so many military books?"
"Your Highness misunderstood, then Guo Changshi told the last general and others the names of these military books, and did not talk about the content!"
Seeing that Zhu Di had misunderstood, a military general hurriedly explained.
Zhu Di's eyes widened directly, his face full of anger, "Then Guo An is just the title of these classics?" ”
The generals replied with sincerity on their faces: "Your Highness, these are all the last generals and others begging for that Guo Changshi to teach!" ”
"Why?"
Zhu Di forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked slowly.
"Your Highness is angry, I also want that Guo Changshi to teach me the content of these military books, but the masters before me recommended Confucian classics, and there is no military book."
The leading military general said slowly.
"Why don't you buy it?" Zhu Di asked.
"Your Highness, forgive me, I haven't heard of these military books, and there must be no bookstores outside!"
The military general said helplessly.
"What do you mean by waiting?"
Zhu Di inexplicably felt a treacherous look on the group of generals under His Royal Highness.
"Hehe, the last general and others came to inquire, I don't know if there are "Li Weigong's Art of War", "Meng De's New Book", "General Yuan" and other military classics in His Highness's collection?"
The leading military general said with a smile.
Zhu Di's face darkened, and he finally understood.
"We were still strange just now, since you entered the academy one by one, you have been walking around us since you saw us, why did you suddenly come to us automatically today, it turned out to be the idea of our military books?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
All the generals hurriedly flattered, "In today's Ming Dynasty, the military book in His Highness's Mansion is the most complete. And the last general and others are military generals, if they want to read and write, they should also read and learn military books! ”
"What kind of military books do you want?" Zhu Di asked.
"The Art of War", "The Art of War of Li Weigong", "The New Book of Meng De", "Jiang Yuan", "The Art of War of Sima Sui Tho", "The Art of War of Water Warfare", ......"
The generals immediately said.
Now, Zhu Di can finally listen carefully to the names of these books, and the more he listens, the more shocked he becomes.
Many of them were the titles he had only heard of, but he had never seen them, and there were even a few that he had never heard of.
"Where did you know about these soldiers?"
"Back to Your Highness, these are all what Guo Changshi told the last general and others!"
The leading military general replied.
"Guo An?"
Zhu Di muttered to himself in a low voice, and then said to the generals: "We know, we will naturally find these military books and classics!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The generals were immediately overjoyed.
When all the generals left happily, Zhu Di's face darkened directly.
"What a thief, find some trouble for us every day!"
After speaking angrily, Zhu Di walked towards the Long History Division.
"Guo An!"
Seeing Guo An sitting leisurely in the public chair, Zhu Di's face darkened directly.
"Wechen see His Highness!"
Seeing Zhu Di come in, Guo An was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Let's let you teach those generals to read and write, why do you want those generals to read military books?" Zhu Di asked directly.
"Your Highness, if a military general doesn't read military books, what can he read?"
Guo An looked at Zhu Di and asked with a sincere face.
"Humph!"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "But the generals all read military books, how can the ladies we invited teach those generals?" ”
Guo An chuckled: "Your Highness, at this stage, the generals are still in the stage of enlightenment and literacy, and the most important thing for them is to know words.
Let those generals read Confucian classics, but it makes these generals extremely irritable.
However, if they were asked to read the classics of the military books, these generals would not only be very happy, but would also take the initiative to memorize the words in the military books.
In this way, let the generals read the classics of the military books, for the generals to read and write, it can get twice the result with half the effort!
As for the teachers who teach, the masters only need to tell them how to read the words in the military books and what they mean, and they do not need to explain the true meaning of the military books, which can be taught even to those literate children! ”
After listening, Zhu Di thought carefully for a while, and his eyes lit up, as if this was really the case.
Guo An said again: "However, the only trouble is that His Highness needs to help those generals find some military books." Preferably, every military general has a military book in hand! ”
Zhu Di nodded subconsciously and said again: "We want to know, where do you know about the classics of military books such as "Sima Sui Tho's Art of War", "The Art of War of Water Warfare", and "Jiang Yuan"? Where are these texts hidden? ”
Guo An said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, these classics have only been heard, but they have never seen them, and they don't know where there are books!" ”
Zhu Di: "......"
Guo An smiled lightly, "However, His Highness is surrounded by many talents, and he is also the King of Ming Yan, as long as His Highness sends someone to collect these military books, someone will definitely take the initiative to send them to His Highness!" ”
Zhu Di fell into deep thought.
