"Wang Xuan, His Highness and I are back!"

In the afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu and Yang Zhan, who were facing the sun, drove back to the small courtyard of the Dajiao field in a donkey cart.

The door of the backyard was open, so Yang Zhan drove the donkey cart directly inside, and Zhu Gaoxu got out of the car in advance and walked into the courtyard.

Wang Xuan, who was in the front yard, heard the sound, and immediately walked to the backyard, and said to Zhu Gaoxu:

"Your Highness, the Guogong Mansion sent someone to send a thousand catties of firewood and ten stone rice, as well as a box of military books, all of which have been put away by me, and the books have also been placed in your study."

"Good ......" Hearing Wang Xuan's words, Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yang Zhan, who stopped the donkey cart:

"You pack up your things, wash the dishes, and I'll make lunch a little bit."

"Yes!" Yang Zhan smiled, and Zhu Gaoxu also returned to the study in the front yard when he saw this.

In the study, he saw more than a dozen military books on the shelves.

These military books began with the Art of War and Liutao in the pre-Qin period, and then went to Li Weigong's Question Right, Jiang Yuan, Cheap Sixteen Strategies in the Han and Tang dynasties, and the Song Dynasty's Wujing General Essentials.

Among them, the military books are mainly divided into strategy, war history, military training, weapon production, military geography, military system, logistics, and military figures.

For Zhu Gaoxu, most of these military books are not suitable for him at this stage, but the must-read books of the Song Dynasty civil officials "Wujing General Essentials" and Li Jing and Zhuge Liang's "Li Weigong Asks the Right Question", "Jiang Yuan", "Cheap Sixteen Strategies" and other books are more suitable for him.

Before Qi Jiguang wrote the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Actual Record of Military Training", the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" of the Song Dynasty can be called the most detailed national defense bibliography of all dynasties.

Zhu Gaoxu can see the importance of this book just by flipping through the bibliography.

It discusses various aspects such as military organization, military system, selection of generals, infantry training, marching camps, ancient and modern formations, strategies and tactics, and the manufacture and use of weapons and equipment, as well as military geography, examples of the use of troops in past dynasties, and yin and yang horoscopes.

In addition, it also describes and introduces in detail various cold weapons, firearms, warships and other equipment used by the army in the Northern Song Dynasty, and a large number of hand-drawn drawings of weapons and battalion formations are attached.

Among them, Zhu Gaoxu especially read the offensive chapters of volumes 10 to 13, and although he did not read the specific chapters such as "Siege Law", "Water Attack", "Water War", and "Defending the City", he could still feel that this was a good book for grassroots officers.

Familiar with "The General Essentials of the Martial Arts" can almost make a person who does not know soldiers become an entry-level general, which is just right for the current Zhu Gaoxu.

Because of this, after a brief look at the catalog, he sat down and read it quietly.

However, since this military book is a manuscript of the Song Dynasty, there are many official characters in it, so he needs to calm down and analyze the specific implementation according to the content.

As far as military training is concerned, although Zhu Gaoxu enlisted in the army as a soldier for two years in his sophomore year in his previous life, in fact, the highest was only the acting squad deputy who had worked for a period of time.

He joined the army because of the pressure of his family, so he did not show too much interest in the army, and he did not have much military knowledge.

Especially when the battlefield changed from a hot weapon to a cold weapon, the little modern military knowledge he mastered was probably only his own experience as a recruit.

As for making rifles, making artillery, making steam engines...... How did he know these things as a liberal arts student.

"I knew I would have been a science and engineering man back then......"

With a long sigh, Zhu Gaoxu put down the military book in his hand.

As soon as he wanted to rub his eyebrows, he subconsciously felt that someone was watching him.

Looking at the past along the way, he really followed the window and saw two lazy men in the courtyard who were "looking forward to wearing".

"I forgot the time...... Zhu Gaoxu looked at the expressions of the two, laughed all of a sudden, got up and walked out of the study.

"Everything?"

"Okay, okay, the rice is cooked."

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu walking out to ask, Yang Zhan and Wang Xuan couldn't wait to nod.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced up at the sky, only to find that the sun had set to the west.

After careful calculation, the three of them didn't eat anything except for a bowl of meat porridge in the morning.

Zhu Gaoxu touched his stomach, and when he came back to his senses, he felt hungry.

He walked to the kitchen, only to see that the rice had been boiled and placed on the stove, and the vegetables and meat strips had also been cut and had to be stir-fried.

Yang Zhan and Wang Xuan are okay to prepare food, but if they are allowed to cook, then Zhu Gaoxu may not be able to eat a bite.

Walking into the kitchen, he skillfully picked up the spatula, and Yang Zhan and Wang Xuan also ran in to add firewood to the stove.

When the fire was a little bigger, Zhu Gaoxu put the oil as undistressed as yesterday, and then put the Qin pepper into the pot and fried it to bring out the taste.

He took into account that Yang Zhan couldn't eat spicy, so he didn't plan to put too many chili peppers, just have some spicy taste.

After a while, he put the vegetables and stir-fried, and a simple dish of celery stir-fried beef was fragrant.

After that, he cut the roasted water chicken he bought and stir-fried it, stir-fried Qin pepper eggplant and vegetarian stir-fried cabbage, and finally poured water into the tofu and cabbage.

Soup with stir-fried vegetable oil and water, cabbage, and tofu may not be delicious, but the bottom oil of this era cannot be wasted.

Zhu Gaoxu went to the market town today to learn about the price of oil.

Eighty wen a pound of oil is not something he can waste at will right now.

He had no source of money, so he could only rely on the money worth fifteen yuan sent by his eldest brother.

Fifteen times is a lot, but with the three of them eating dozens of Wen a day, it will only take a year at most.

If you want to buy some clothes and paper, the cost is even greater.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the kitchen, and Wang Xuan and Yang Zhan had already brought the dishes to the table, and there was a pot of rice next to them.

The amount of that pot of rice alone is probably not less than four or five catties.

Ordinary people really can't afford to raise three people to eat like this.

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the stone pier and sat down, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate first, and Yang Zhan and the others also began to move the chopsticks when they saw this.

"Everything is almost bought, starting tomorrow the two of you will practice martial arts in the morning, and go to the study in the afternoon to get the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", and learn how to lead soldiers to fight."

"I don't want the two of you to be cut off by the Japanese and Duzhang in the future because you can't fight, but only the courage of your husband."

Zhu Gaoxu did not forget to remind, and the two also nodded hurriedly and said that they would study hard.

However, after nodding, Wang Xuan remembered one thing, so he reminded:

"Your Highness, when the Guogong Mansion sent something during the day, a hundred households from the Great Sect also sent someone to deliver the news."

"In August, there are many children of military attachés who want to enter Beijing to take the martial arts examination, and this time the number is 2,000, and I am afraid that they will live near us."

"Leave him alone, take care of ourselves." Zhu Gaoxu ate seriously, but his mind was full of the content of the military book he had just read.

Since the time crossing, not only has his body grown faster than before, but his memory has also improved a lot.

Although it is not enough to remember it at the moment, it is very easy to recall the content of the military book.

Feeling his memory, Rao is Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but be happy in his heart: "It can be regarded as a golden finger that has crossed over......"
