Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

In the early morning, before the mist has dispersed, the chirping of birds in the mountains has already woken up the sleeping people.

In an instant, the sound of fierce weapons clashing rang out from the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, immediately startling countless birds. A sword and a halberd collided and quickly separated. Guan Hai took two steps back, twisted his numb wrist, and said excitedly: "Come again!"

"I've made some progress these days!" Lu Bu took a step forward and swung his spear again.

Guan Hai hurriedly raised his sword to block, but he felt a huge pressure, his palms ached, and his lower body became unstable. Before he could react, he heard a series of sharp metal scraping sounds in his ears, and saw that Lu Bu's halberd tip hooked the back of his sword at an extremely tricky angle and hit his chest directly.

Zhang Mo, who was squatting in a horse stance nearby, was so frightened that her legs trembled. She just wanted to scream, but she saw the halberd tip stopped just half an inch away from her chest.

Lü Bu said, "Your opponent is stronger than you. You can't fight him head-on with brute force. You should use your skills. You can't take that blow head-on. Just step aside and wait for the opponent's strength to dissipate before you strike back quickly."

After demonstrating it to Guan Hai, he added, "You don't have time to hone your strength now, but you can work on your speed. As long as you're fast enough, even a child with a sharp weapon can defeat a big man."

Guan Hai nodded in agreement. Xu Chu and Lu Bu were both men of immense strength, and there was indeed a huge gap between him and them. However, if he could improve his speed and ability to respond to the enemy, he would not just have to defend in battle.

After getting Wang Yun's consent, Zhang Mo was finally able to let go and Juyi Village was run in full swing. In addition to building earth buildings, paper mills and printing houses also began to be built.

The earthen building of the manor would take more than a day or two to build. Zhang Mo was anxious to train the troops, so he asked people to build thatched houses on the open space at the foot of the mountain, level out a training ground, and build a wall around it. He then arranged for Lu Bu to train with the Wang family troops and more than a hundred newly recruited refugees.

In addition to these people, Guan Hai, Xu Chu, Du Fei and others also lived outside the city and studied and exchanged ideas with Lu Bu.

Although Xu Hanhan was not good at studying, he was gifted in martial arts. Coupled with his natural strength, after a few days, he went from being knocked to the ground by Lu Bu after more than ten rounds at the beginning to being able to last dozens of rounds without falling. His progress was amazing.

Of course, this is under the premise that Lu Bu retained half of his strength. If he opened fire at full power, Xu Chu would probably only be able to hold on for a few rounds.

Unless necessary, Lu Bu would not show his full strength, as his original strength was already strong enough.

Compared with brute force fighting, Du Fei preferred to practice archery and hidden weapons, so Lu Bu taught him archery.

Xu Ding is a talented person who is good at both literature and martial arts. Although his martial arts skills are not as outstanding as Xu Chu's, his academic performance is far better than Xu Chu's. After studying for more than a year, he has no problem reading and writing.

In addition to these people, even the two rookies, Zhang Mo and Juxiang, were caught by Lu Bu to train together. However, he taught Guan Hai and others to practice fighting moves, but taught these two to hone their strength.

Look, four sandbags were put on the arms and legs of the two men early in the morning. They squatted on the side and did horse stance. Their clothes were soaked with sweat and their legs were shaking like sieves, but as long as Lu Bu didn't stop, they could only grit their teeth and persevere.

In the past, when Guan Hai taught Zhang Mo, he only taught her boxing and swordsmanship, thinking that since she was a young lady from an official family, there was no need for her to study too hard, and it would be enough for her to be able to beat people of the same age.

However, Lu Bu did not think so. Since he wanted to learn, he had to learn it well. He would be leaving Jinyang soon and would not be able to protect her. In order to prevent the incident in the woods from happening again, he not only had to teach Xu Chu and others well, but also Amo's own martial arts must not be vague.

Although Zhang Mo is lazy, she has been in a state of abuse since she came to the troubled times. For the sake of her life, no matter how lazy she is, she has to learn martial arts well. She gets up at dawn every day and does horse stance.

The days passed slowly, and by the end of the year, the foundation of the earth building had just been laid, the water wheel had been built, and even the pestle and mortar was ready.

The paper mill is built directly where the river flows out of the mountain, where the height difference is large, which can better drive the water wheel to turn.

I saw a large waterwheel more than three meters high turning continuously under the impact of the water flow. The water buckets filled with river water were raised step by step. When they reached the top, the water buckets slowly tilted, pouring the water into the aqueduct and flowing into the canal. Not only the land of Zhang Mo's own manor was irrigated, but even the fields in Juyangli were benefited.

The waterwheel drives several connected pestles to pound up and down continuously. The pounding force is heavy and even. The key is that it frees up manpower and allows work to continue day and night.

Zhang Mo also had a water mill built next to it. In addition to a large water wheel for irrigation, there were several simple water wheels in front and behind, which were simply used to drive the continuous mill to pound paper pulp.

Looking at the rows of pestles in front of him, Wang Ding's peach blossom eyes smiled brighter than the spring sunshine.

"Amo, I really admire you more and more. You have such a wonderful idea, it's really ingenious. Even if Lu Ban were alive, he wouldn't be as good as you!"

Zhang Mo laughed and said, "I'm not that amazing. This was all made by a craftsman. I just came up with an idea. From now on, the papermaking will be handed over to my third brother."

"Don't worry, the materials have been soaked as you said, and the boiler is also built. We are just waiting for you to connect the machine."

Since this technology is currently considered exclusive, Zhang Mo reminded: "The process of adding paper medicine must be done by a trustworthy person and must not be spread. Even though a building has been built near the waterwheel, someone must be assigned to guard it."

"Don't worry, sister. I understand. Except for the workers who carry the pulp, no outsiders will be allowed here. The carpenter who built the waterwheel is also a member of my Wang family. They wouldn't dare to leak the secret even if they had ten guts." Wang Ding patted his chest and made the promise.

The woodblock engraver had already carved templates for several books, and as soon as the paper was produced, he could start printing the books.

The first book to be printed was the "Xun Zuan Pian," an introductory book with eighty-nine chapters, which essentially covered all the characters found in the Six Classics and various other texts. A book that once took nearly half a cart of bamboo slips could now be printed in just one thin volume.

When Zhang Mo took the first printed book to show Wang Yun, he was almost shocked.

Wang Yun held the book in his hands as if it were a treasure. He placed it on the table and carefully flipped through it. He saw that every word in the book was of the same size, written neatly, and the font was very clear.

He looked excited, with disbelief in his eyes: "Is this printed?"

"Yes, as long as you carve the template, you can print as many copies as you want."

"Good, good, that's great! My son has done a great good thing for students all over the world." Wang Yun could not hide his excitement.

Zhang Mo smiled slyly, "Good deeds don't count, my daughter needs to make money."

Wang Yun laughed heartily, "You girl, are you really..."

I thought for a long time but couldn't think of any words to describe her. The word "smart" was no longer enough to describe the little girl in front of me. At the same time, I was secretly glad that I didn't keep her in a small courtyard to learn those useless things.

Wang Yun looked at her gently, and after a long moment, he added, "I heard you set up a school on your estate for refugee children to study. That's a considerable expense!"

"So my daughter, you need to think of more ways to make money. I will not only let them study, but also train them in martial arts. Who knows, maybe some of these children will become prime ministers and generals in the future!"

Wang Yun jokingly said, "They are all your disciples. When people ask the prime ministers and generals who their teachers are, how fun it will be to answer the young lady of the Jinyang Wang family."

Zhang Mo chuckled and said, "It's their honor to be able to announce the name of the young lady from the Wang family."

Wang Yun couldn't help laughing. "Yes, yes, my little lady is amazing. At such a young age, she helped my father to suppress the bandits in Runan. Now she has created such a convenient book. It is truly an honor for her to have you as her teacher!"

Wang Yun continued, "It's fine if boys study, but I heard from Zhao Kang the other day that girls are also learning to read in schools. It's not that you look down on girls, but there are no women serving as officials or generals in the court today. Even if they learn well in the future, they won't be of much use. Why are you cultivating them like this?"

Zhao Kang was one of the teachers borrowed by Wang Yun.

Zhang Mo said, "Although girls may not become generals or ministers, after learning to read, they can perhaps study medicine, or become managers of estates, recruit new people in the future, or serve as teachers to new students. In any case, they will be useful. Besides, they only need to learn to read and do arithmetic every day, so it doesn't cost much."

Wang Yun thought about it and realized that it made sense. Wasn't his daughter, who was so smart and almost magical, just a girl? In the world today, there were probably few men who could match her.

He reached out and touched Zhang Mo's little head, sighing, "The thing that father is most grateful for in his life is saving you in Yingchuan. Also, if father hadn't visited the Xu family in Yangdi, wouldn't he have missed out on such a wonderful daughter?"

She rubbed her little head against Wang Yun's broad palm and hummed, "It is my daughter's fortune to have a father like you. Let's be father and daughter again in the next life."

However, he died earlier in the next life than in this one. She would never forget the day when her father had the accident. Her mother pulled her and stumbled to the mining area, looking at the man as tough as a mountain, covered in black, lying silently on the ground, taking away the hope and happiness of the whole family.

In this life, she will never let Wang Yun die a violent death!
