Chapter 58 Mr.

Mr. Chapter 59
The two didn't look at each other for long before they were called back by Lu Han for dinner.Mr. Wang from the right wing was also invited.

Mr. Wang, whose real name is Wang Chang, was a down-and-out scholar in a market town. He was almost 50 years old. He had no wife or children. He lived alone in a dilapidated big house. The words, scriptures and scriptures needed to select scholars in the imperial court are very common.But because of her popularity, she was recommended by Xu Ting to be a teacher.

Guo Ning respects Wang Chang very much, not because of his knowledge, but because this scholar is not hypocritical.

Guo Ning sent Shu Xiu here and asked him to teach the soldiers how to read, and he taught them.Guo Ning asked him to talk less about Confucian classics, not to touch Buddhas, and not to talk about exegetical textual research, and he also agreed with each one with a smile, and he would never exceed the rules.This style is very different from ordinary Confucian scholars, but rather like a merchant who takes money to do things, and pays one yard for one yard.

The effect of Wang Chang's teaching is very good. After more than two months, most of the apprentices can recognize two to three hundred characters, and then write easily.Some teenagers with relatively good backgrounds can even look up the "Daming Calendar" by themselves.

Since Guo Ning called, Wang Chang rushed over excitedly, thinking that he could eat something good, but he saw that Guo Ning's food was no different from others. If he had to pick out something carefully, only the broth in the big black pottery bowl was more oily and watery. .

Seeing this, the old scholar didn't say much. After a while, he finished his meal with a smile on his face. Holding a big bowl of hot water, he chatted with Guo Ning and Lu Han.

At this time, footsteps were clattering outside the courtyard, and it was those teenagers who came back with the falling hot air balloon.Landing so fast, it seems that the design of the balloon is very problematic.The teenagers were both shocked by this flight, and at the same time they all expressed emotion, after all, the preparations were a bit hasty.

As he walked, a thinner boy said repeatedly: "We tied the stove with ropes, but the fire was blown by the wind, and the ropes were easily burned! Next time we make balloons, we must find a way to keep the ropes. Otherwise, you won’t be able to fly very high, and you won’t be able to fly for long!”

After walking two steps, he asked his companion: "Or, weave a bamboo basket to hold the stove? Use the long ears extending from both sides of the bamboo basket to hang the rope? The stove also needs to be modified, and the damper has to be fenced on both sides..."

His companions ignored him, and it was difficult for most people to think about these details after being excited.They were all yelling, "It's a pity that the silk used to sew the balloons is too little, and it's a pity that the lacquer used to smear the balloons to prevent air leakage is the only thing. Otherwise, just this one time, you can make a huge balloon, which is better than that." This is even more majestic.

When they passed by the left side hall one after another, they talked more loudly, as if they were talking to Guo Ning.

Guo Ning chuckled twice, but didn't hear anything.

And Ni Yi stood at the door, stared at them fiercely, and told them to leave quickly.

Previously, Guo Ning and the Yu family of Xinqiaoying joined hands to restore Baojia, and agreed that the newly established Baojia would be responsible for the military salaries of the volunteers in Anzhou.

Guo Ning's expectation was only the number of troops obtained by the northern Xinjiang divisions. After all, the defeated soldiers had planted land along the boundary trenches. As long as they had a few fields, they would not starve to death.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yu planned to take this opportunity to reap the old background of the surrounding townspeople, and forcibly raised the standard of military pay from outsiders to two guan, nine buckets of rice, five liters of rice, and four horses of silk per month.

Wang Shixian really took back [-]% of it for a penny.

Guo Ning is also unambiguous, after deducting the necessary surplus.The military salary he actually paid to the soldiers on a monthly basis was more than double what they received from the court when they were in northern Xinjiang.When the soldiers first saw the yellow copper coins and the white corn, they couldn't believe it was real.

The servants around Guo Ning received the same treatment as the main army.Most of these teenagers are relatives of the leader of a certain rout army, and there is no pressure to support the clansmen, so they are very well-off.

That's why they were able to gather the silk and silk that their family had received in the past two months, asked the women in the camp to sew it into a balloon shape, and asked for some raw lacquer from Li Ting, and hurriedly made such a hot air balloon.

If you succeed once, you will naturally think about the second time.The teenagers all want to make balloons that are bigger, heavier, and have a longer flight time, and they are sure that as long as they follow this road, they will succeed naturally.

It is good to have goals, but there is no rush to achieve results.Guo Ning will not give them more silk cloth for the time being.Raw lacquer is an important military material, and it is indispensable when making arrow shafts and armor, and it cannot be handed over to these boys to cause harm.

Guo Ning talked about hot air balloons to the teenagers in order to stimulate their enthusiasm for learning, and also took this opportunity to select unique talents from among them, not to let them all swarm to become craftsmen.

Seeing the teenagers huffing and going to the backyard, Guo Ning returned to the office table, packed up the scattered writing paper, and prepared to follow.

After eating, it was time for Guo Ning to chat and tell stories with his cavalry and servants. This has been the case every day for the past few months.

On that occasion, there was usually nothing wrong with Wang Chang, so he bowed and said goodbye.

As soon as he stood up, he saw that there were always about a hundred sheets of writing paper sorted out in Guo Ning's hands, stacked in a thick stack.Wang Chang's gaze was immediately attracted by the densely packed writing paper in Guo Ning's hands.After all, he is a scholar, and when he glanced at it, he knew that it was not an official document, but a private note.
Strange, strange.Guo Liulang was obviously just an ordinary soldier, and his handwriting was ugly, but he was so interested in writing so many things secretly?

It should be noted that although Dajin's literature has its unique features, due to the strict laws and regulations on the crossing of characters in the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, all kinds of books and classics are rarely circulated among the people.None of the military households can read and write.This Guo Ning has written hundreds of pages of calligraphy paper seriously, so he won't be scribbling indiscriminately, right?
Wang Chang couldn't help asking: "What did Lang Jun write?"

Guo Ning didn't hide it.He handed the writing papers directly to Wang Chang: "I talk about the past and the present every day, and everything I say must have a source, a context to be traced. This is because I have spent some time in the past few days. We have compiled the teaching materials. Mr. Wang may wish to take a look, if there are any omissions, please give pointers.”

"Teaching materials? Mr. Guo Lang really has a heart!" Wang Chang became more and more interested, and quickly picked up the writing paper and read them one by one.

I saw that the handwriting on it was indeed a bit tragic, with many characters missing strokes and some strange symbols mixed in.

The hundreds of pages of writing paper were roughly divided into four categories by Guo Ning.

The first ones are stories of fighting and fighting in ancient times, including the famous battles between Yanhuang, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, Chu and Han, and even Han and Tang Dynasties against the Xiongnu and Turks.The battle case is equipped with a rough map, with large and small arrows on the map, roughly indicating the route of the army.Beside the battle examples, there are some poems.

Wang Chang's eyes glanced, and he saw "Zhengpeng leaves Hansai, and returning geese enters Hutian."

He hurriedly looked at the next page, and saw "but keep the Dragon City Flying General here, don't teach Huma to go to the Yin Mountain."

After Dajin entered the Central Plains, he gained the power of Confucianism.On the distinction between Hua and Yi, it follows what Zhao Bingwen, the leader of the Confucianism in the North, said: "The princes of the Spring and Autumn Period use barbarian rites to barbarize them; barbarians enter China, and China will." Words such as words are not taboo.

But Wang Chang always felt that the few sentences in front of him seemed to point to something, so he quickly turned a few more pages.What I saw this time, instead of mentioning the word "Hu", I chose a few lines from Chen Siwang's White Horse Chapter: "Yu Xi came from the north, and the horse climbed the high embankment. Long drove the Xiongnu, and looked left to Ling Xianbei."

Wang Chang laughed dryly, and flipped through more than ten pages.

The second part of the textbook is about simple calculations, all using military affairs as examples, such as counting troops, checking rations, judging the remaining arrows, calculating the time when troops arrive at a certain point, and so on.

Here, there are more weird symbols.An ordinary person might not understand it at all.

Although Wang Chang's literature is mediocre, he is really good at arithmetic.After concentrating on it for a while, he guessed that the two slashes interlaced left and right represented the "Tianyuan" in the number of spells; looking at the calculation process in it, although it is not as subtle as the Tai and Yuan, it has the advantage of being unique. It is much more convenient than the usual method of counting and arranging chips!

Guo Ning, just a frontier army, how can he have such insight?

Wang Chang turned a few pages back, and there were more pictures and denser characters on the paper, and what he was talking about was the customs and anecdotes of the Guo Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, Xixia, Dali and other places.

Wang Chang didn't understand those foreign affairs, so he picked up the few pages about Dajin, and with just one glance, he saw the process of the Jurchen army going south to plunder and slaughter, and even fought with Song generals Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others. During the fight, I saw the distribution and history of various commanding divisions and recruiting divisions.

Looking at the terroir of the various roads of Dajin mentioned in it, and the overview of mountains, rivers, and places of great shape, it is almost the same as what Wang Chang saw when he was a boy when he traveled!
Wang Chang stopped watching.He suddenly closed the writing paper together, his face changed.

It is very clear that Mr. Gao Kezhong Gao, who Guo Ning studied in Hebei, is really a hidden sage!

Such a great sage died for no reason at the hands of soldiers and bandits in troubled times, which makes people feel extremely sad.And with Guo Ning's bravery and heroic strategy, coupled with the vision and insight taught by the great sage, is it more than just like a tiger with wings?In such a world, what kind of things can this person do?
Thinking of this, looking down, the clumsy handwriting on the paper was like a knife, gun, sword and halberd, with an awe-inspiring aura!

"Guo Langjun..." Wang Chang raised the writing paper in his hand.

"What advice do you have, sir?"

"If you don't give up, Mr. Meng, when you talk to the teenagers tonight, I would also like to attend, is that okay?"
