After processing the paperwork, Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng stretched their waists at the same time, turned their necks, shook their shoulders, and then yawned loudly.

"The lotus seed white fungus soup should have been boiled, let's go, drink the soup." Zhu Xiang led Ying Xiaozheng and walked out, "I also asked people to mix a plate of crispy lotus root and a plate of water chestnut, which is refreshing and appetizing." ”

Ying Xiaozheng was dissatisfied: "Is there no meat? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Eat meat at night." Xianghe caught a sea bass and made steamed sea bass for you. ”

Ying Xiaozheng continued to be dissatisfied: "Don't eat steamed." ”

Zhu Xiang said good-naturedly: "What about sweet and sour people? ”

Ying Xiaozheng is still dissatisfied: "Is there only one sweet and sour sea bass?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "There are still some river shrimp, make boiled shrimp?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng shook his head vigorously: "Uncle always loves to make steamed white blanch." ”

Zhu Xiang sighed: "I also want to ask why you have such a strong taste?" Eating some boiled and steamed vegetables once in a while is better for the body. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "Didn't my uncle say that people are suitable for eating boiled and steamed dishes when they are old? Then I should eat a dish with a strong flavor right now, and eat enough! ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Okay, I was persuaded by Zheng'er." What about dry pot shrimp? ”

Ying Xiaozheng nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay." ”

Zhu Xiang nodded at Ying Xiaozheng's brain. It's okay.

The uncle and nephew walked out slowly, and on the way, Zhu Xiang wanted to ask Meng Tian and Li Si to come to dinner together, but Ying Xiaozheng disagreed.

These two people can't do their jobs well, and they still come to eat? Don't!

Zhu Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, because of Ying Xiaozheng's willfulness.

He thought that at this time, Meng Tian and Li Si might not be embarrassed to come to eat.

The sea bass is a big one. Zhu Xiang, who became more and more skilled in the knife after the crossing, changed the perch meat slices to the knife, cut them into fish scales, and rolled the fish meat with his fingers after thickening, and put it into the oil pot, which was a fish flower.

Zhu Xiang made a full plate of fish and meat flowers, boiled the sweet and sour sauce, poured the sweet and sour sauce on the fish flowers, and then garnished with some green leaves, and a plate of extremely beautiful sweet and sour sea bass flowers was ready.

Dry-pot shrimp is easy to make and does not require Zhu Xiang to do it himself.

The chef who brought the shrimp peeled the shrimp line on the back, stir-fried it with spices and soybean oil, and then added a little water to simmer and cooked.

Sweet and sour fish and dry pot shrimp are good dishes, Zhu Xiang steamed a big pot of old pumpkin and dried rice, and invited Xu Ming and Xianghe to dine together.

At the table, Xu Ming and Xianghe asked Zhu Xiang about the earth and the starry sky.

Zhu Xiang mentioned the rotation of the earth, saying that it was just a "guess", and let them find the answer for themselves and verify this guess.

Ying Xiaozheng despised his uncle while picking up rice. My uncle was obviously very sure that what he said about the knowledge of celestial phenomena was true, and he still said that he was guessing and lying. Forget it, my uncle is really not suitable for the court of intrigues, so don't be the prime minister.

Ying Xiaozheng hopes that the elders will be healthy, so that he can continue to be the prime minister and prime minister. Li Si and others, don't say it.

When Meng Tian and Li Si came to work on the second day, they learned that Zhu Xiang had already taken care of all the work they left behind yesterday. The mood of the two of them was even lower.

Zhu Xiang smiled and encouraged the two: "Everything is from unfamiliar to familiar, I believe that as long as you learn hard, you will soon be able to get started." ”

Zhu Xiang took out the number table and taught them numbers and operation symbols.

Meng Tian and Li Si were both people with strong memories, and Zhu Xiang taught them systematically, and they easily memorized these symbols.

Zhu Xiang took out the ninety-nine addition, subtraction, multiplication and division table again. They would have done mental arithmetic, and it didn't take much time.

After the ninety-nine table became proficient, Zhu Xiang continued to teach them vertical arithmetic, and for the first time they felt the convenience of number symbols in operation.

The two of them were very ashamed. They weren't paying attention to these symbols before, and they couldn't have been more wrong.

Ying Xiaozheng was handling official business on the side, and from time to time he looked up at his uncle who taught Meng Tian and Li Si, feeling a little embarrassed.

He understood that his uncle deliberately asked him to observe this teaching, which was to tell him that Meng Tian and Li Si were indeed not mediocre, but their own teaching methods were wrong.

Even if he has the majesty of Qin Gongzi and can order Meng Tian and Li Si to do things, for smart people, it will be much more efficient to do things after understanding the importance than to force them to do things.

Ying Xiaozheng muttered in his heart. Uncle, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it, you have to go around the corner.

As if he had "heard" the muttering in Ying Xiaozheng's heart, Zhu Xiang looked at Ying Xiaozheng and winked at his unhappy nephew.

Ying Xiaozheng snorted coldly and continued to work.

I know, I know, I will be more patient next time! Uncle is so long-winded!

Zhu Xiang smiled and continued to teach Meng Tian and Li Si.

After the vertical arithmetic is taught, it will be the turn of the abacus. Abacus will have to be practiced for a long time to become proficient, so start by memorizing mantras. Meng Tian and Li Si were full of energy and finally regained a little confidence.

Zhu Xiang stayed in Wucheng for half a month. When Li Mu and Wang Jian returned with a full load, Li Mu was surprised to see that Zhu Xiang was actually in Wucheng, thinking that Zhu Xiang was sick and very anxious.

Wang Jian was also surprised. Although he knew that General Li Mu took good care of Zhu Xianggong, was this a little too worrying?

Wang Jian began to introspect.

Although he has just befriended Zhu Xianggong for a short time, his friend cares too little about Zhu Xianggong and wants to learn from Li Mu.

We have to keep up the good work! Wang Jian clenched his fists.

Zhu Xiang didn't know that Wang Jian was secretly introspecting in his heart. If he had known, he would have been speechless.

Even among friends, Li Mu's excessive worry is unique. This may be related to the fact that Li Mu rescued him from prison with his own hands and saw the tragic situation with his own eyes.

"I'm not sick. Zheng'er's two little helpers were a little rusty, and I taught them for a while. Zhu Xiang said.

Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You came to teach so many students last time, why don't you transfer a few skilled people to help the government?" ”

Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng are now jointly in charge of Wu County, and the transfer of Wu County officials is a matter of their words.

Zhu Xiang said: "Meng Tian is the person left by the ancestor to Zheng'er, and he is the son of Meng Wu; Li Si is very talented, and sooner or later he will take charge of the court. Let them run in with Zheng'er more, and Zheng'er will be used more smoothly in the future. ”

Zhu Xiang talked about Li Si's strategy to the king of Qin. After Li Mu heard this, he reluctantly agreed with Zhu Xiang's opinion.

"But that doesn't stop you from finding someone familiar with them." Li Mudao.

Zhu Xiang smiled bitterly: "I originally asked Zheng'er to teach them. I didn't expect Zheng'er's patience, alas. ”

Li Mu smiled: "Zheng'er was born to be a king, how much patience can the king have?" ”

Zhu Xiang spread his hands: "Now Zheng'er is not a king, he can't always use the king's thinking to do things." ”

Li Mu said: "This is up to you to teach." ”

Zhu Xiang was dissatisfied: "It's good that Zheng'er taught you a teacher, can you be responsible?" ”

Li Mudao: "Okay, I want to rest for a while and teach Zheng'er the martial arts book of riding and archery." ”

Zhu Xiang sighed heavily.

What does Jiao Zheng'er do with the martial arts book? Can Zheng'er still be able to drive the army?

That's it, Yiduo is not pressing. In addition to official duties, learning the art of riding and archery can also be used as an exercise and a rest of the brain.

Li Mu did not grab the territory when he went south this time, but grabbed a lot of materials.

He applied his fighting style in Yanmen County to Wu County. When he was in Yanmen County, he often led his troops to rob the supplies of the grassland tribes, so there were endless livestock in the city. Now he is going to rob East Vietnam.

The place close to Wu County in Dongyue accepted the spread of agricultural civilization, and the people cultivated more; After going south, after reaching Minyue, the flat place became more and more narrow, and the mountain people became more and more fierce.

Minyue lives by the sea and back to the mountains, and fishes and hunts. Li Mu specially asked Minyue to train troops and grab things.

On the return trip after looting things, he sold supplies for food and replenished military supplies in Dongyue near Wu County. Each expedition has a large profit if it does not count casualties.

Li Mu sat under the pumpkin vine shelf, drinking the rice wine brewed by Zhu Xiang while introducing his strategic intentions.

"Dongyue is not a whole, and robbing the East Vietnamese tribes of things to the leaders of the northern tribes of East Vietnam can divide East Vietnam from the inside. The East Vietnamese people were short-sighted and greedy for small profits, and soon there would be civil strife. ”

"Minyue is vulnerable to the Qin army's attack and will definitely retreat inland. At this time, the Qin army was able to go ashore to build fortresses and cities, and gradually gain a foothold in Minyue. ”

"Minyue, which has been squeezed out of living space, is afraid of the Qin army, which will intensify the attack on the northern tribes of Dongyue and exacerbate the civil strife."

Li Mu smiled: "Even if I conquer the southern territory now, I don't have extra troops to defend it, and the purpose is just to train troops." And let them have civil strife for more than ten years, and then slowly clean up after the king unifies the world. ”

Zhu Xiang praised: "The hearts of your soldiers are all black!" ”

Wang Jian squirted out a sip of wine: "I'm not, I don't!" I've always fought with dignity! ”

Li Mu glanced at Wang Qian.

He admits that Wang Jian is better at frontal combat with large armies. This should be related to the strength of the Qin State, and the art of war that Wang Jian learned since he was a child is mainly based on head-on confrontation.

Li Mu is different.

Even when the Zhao State was strong, in order to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, there were not many troops stationed in Yanmen County and other border areas. Every year when the Hu people go south, Li Mu and other border generals have to think about the effect of using one soldier into several soldiers, so he is better at plotting.

Although there is no difference between the two, Li Mu is confident that he will not lose to Wang Jian in the head-on confrontation of the large army, and Wang Jian should be able to do it when he needs to use tricks, but Li Mu is still a little envious of Wang Jian growing up in a powerful country.

Li Mu drank all the wine in the cup.

Fortunately, now he is also a Qin general.

Zhu Xiang's eyes for picking talents are indeed vicious. After Li Mu and Wang Jian worked together, they immediately confirmed that this middle-aged general, who did not have much reputation at the moment, would definitely grow to a great extent.

If he is still a Zhao general, Wang Jian will definitely become his great enemy, and even his old enemy - he may fight against Wang Jian on the battlefield for the rest of his life.

Behind Wang Jian was the powerful Qin State, led by the powerful Qin army; Behind him is the weak Zhao State, with the strength inferior to the Qin army, racking his brains to deal with Wang Qian.

Wang Jian can lose many times and then win with one blow; As long as you lose once, you will lose the whole game.

Li Mu couldn't help but be stunned when he thought of such a future.

Fortunately, now he is also a Qin general.

Li Mu didn't know that if he was still a Zhao general, he would have no chance to compete with Wang Jian at all. Because Wang Jian saw that he was too powerful, he invited Qin Wangzheng before the expedition and killed him with a divisive strategy.

Wang Qian: I'm the best at fighting in a big army, not at scheming. The discord is not a trick.

Li Mu and Wang Jian chatted about their respective tactics, and on the way, the two of them joked about Li Mu if he was still a Zhao general, and he didn't know who would lose and who would win when the two fought.

The only insider, Zhu Xiang, and half an insider, Ying Xiaozheng, silently gnawed on the water chestnut and did not speak.

After the two argued, Ying Xiaozheng wiped his mouth and said, "Teacher, I'm not stupid." You are so powerful, King Zhao is so mediocre, what Wang Jian should I send to confront you head-on? Isn't it good to let King Zhao kill you with a discord scheme? ”

Li Mu was speechless.

Wang Jian supported his forehead.

Zhu Xiang almost choked with laughter.

Li Mu finally cursed in the Yanmen County accent, and no longer mentioned what he would do if he was Zhao.
