Chapter 57 Invitation
The next morning, Su Ze no longer needed to go to morning classes with Aunt Ninth. He carried a hoe early and walked towards the three acres of sweet potato field he had opened up.
During the days when she went to the county town, Lin Cainiang came to work in the fields when she had nothing to do. She pulled out all the weeds. The lush sweet potato seedlings grew on the field ridges, and the early morning dew hung on the seedlings, which made people happy just to see them. .
Su Ze came here today to topdress the sweet potatoes.
Su Ze collected all the ashes from the plants and trees that were burnt into ashes when refining salt a few days ago.
These plant ash is mixed with manure and fermented for a few days to become farm potash fertilizer.
Su Ze carefully spread the fertilizer on the ridges of the fields, and by the time the morning lessons for these little carrots were finished, they were over.
"Brother, master asked you to go back for dinner."
Su Ze rubbed his waist and said, "Go back now."
Back at the family temple, Aunt Jiu had already made breakfast. What she ate today was the biscuits that Su Ze brought back from the county. This was much more delicious than cold vegetable porridge. After finishing the meal, Su Ze asked Aunt Ninth:
"Auntie, how are those Japanese pirates doing?"
Aunt Ninth wiped the corners of her mouth and said,
"My grandpa, I'm here to judge." After all, Zhu Qi and the others were salt workers who were forced to live. They were originally honest people, but in today’s world, hey!” How many of the Japanese rebellions in the
southeast were real Japanese pirates, and how much were maritime merchants or smugglers pretending to be Japanese pirates? , how many people were unable to survive and fled to the sea? This is a subject that no one can study clearly.
There are too many people like Zhu Qi, but it doesn't mean that these are all good people.
After becoming Japanese pirates, Zhu Qi and others also robbed several merchants selling salt on the black market. Although there were no lives on their hands, they might become a generation of salt lords if they continue to develop.
Su Ze is not a bad person like White Lotus. Zhu Qi and others were oppressed by the government in the past, but it cannot be said that they are honest and good people.
Aunt Ninth continued: "My old grandpa asked them to open up wasteland with Arhat Jiao, and sent people from the ancestral hall to take turns to look after them. These people do a good job." "What about
Xiong Wu?"
"Xiong Wu is still punishing him. Even though the hall is closed, this guy doesn't make any fuss. He just eats and sleeps every day, just clamoring to see you."
Su Ze even felt that Xiong Wu had something else in mind. This guy's origins are complicated, so he should stay locked up for a few more days. .
Aunt Ninth said again: "During this period, those children were drying salt at the beach every day. I asked them to move the salt to the back compartment." Su Ze
quickly thanked Aunt Ninth, who said: "I am old. I'm counting on you young people to take care of the health care affairs."
"My grandpa also said that Changning Guard will rely on you young people to shoulder the burden." "
Are you still going to the health school today?"
Su Ze looked at him. "It's hard work" BUFF, and saw the "Enlightenment" skill that was about to reach level 5, nodded and said: "Today I will continue to go to the health school to teach the children how to read." Aunt Ninth thought for a while and said: "You weren't the one who showed off salt last
time Did you share the money with those children?"
Su Ze nodded. The last time he sold refined salt, Su Ze also shared some money with the children who helped him dry the salt. Although it was not much, it was still a reward for these children.
Aunt Jiu hesitated and said:
"You divided the money for those children, and their family members all thought that you were a capable person and wanted their children to study with you." "
If it delays your study, just give them back. Before They are reluctant to let their children go to health school. It's too late now." It turned out that this was the case. Su Ze didn't care. Anyway, with more people, it would be faster to master the "Enlightenment" skill. He said: "A few more
people There is no problem attending the lectures, but they have to prepare their own sandboxes and reed poles for calligraphy, as well as the pen and ink they need to use for reading in the future." "Of course, then
I will go back to those houses and let them prepare them. Send the child!"
The days seemed to be back on the original track. Su Ze read for a while in the Wei School, and then started reading with the carrots, and then practiced calligraphy using a sand table and reed poles.
Imperial examination: Lv3, 20/300
Calligraphy: Lv2, 85/200
Let’s look at the enlightenment skills: Lv4, 389/400. There is only one last step left to reach level five.
When Su Ze was planning to go to the beach in the afternoon to give lectures to the children who were drying salt, or to go to the Arhat's Foot and Salt Cubs to give lectures and improve their skills, the little carrot head Lin Liangjun suddenly came over and said: "Brother Aze, are you okay this afternoon
? ?"
"What's wrong?"
"Well, my brother wants to invite you to Baihu's Office."
"Lin Baihu?"
Su Ze was a little confused. He had never seen this Baihu since he arrived in Changning Wei.
The reason is also very simple. According to the genealogy records, this female Baihu was just a temporary expedient to temporarily act as Baihu before Lin Liangjun grew up to prevent Baihu from falling into the hands of others. count.
Therefore, Lin Baihu barely paid attention to other affairs of Changning Guard and lived in seclusion only training in the school field.
Before, Su Ze was an outsider, so Lin Baihu would not meet Su Ze to prevent his identity as a woman disguised as a man from being revealed.
"Why did your brother call me over?"
Although Su Ze also wanted to contact Lin Baihu in order to learn more about the situation and deal with the disaster next month.
However, he still pretended to be reluctant, and Lin Liangjun immediately said:
"My brother wants to ask you about the art of war!"
Art of war? Su Ze was stunned for a moment, and Lin Liangjun continued:
"My brother said that the mandarin duck formation you used in the last fight was not like the tactics used by Yue Wumu's Jinren Cavalry. On the contrary, it can be trained to fight Japanese pirates, so I thought Let you go over and ask about the military formation."
Su Ze was stunned for a moment. He really underestimated the military capabilities of this hereditary family of the Lin family, but he actually saw that the mandarin duck formation was a method of fighting Japanese pirates?
Just fight the Japanese pirates. This mandarin duck formation was originally the formation recorded by Qi Jiguang in the "New Book of Jixiao" and was specially invented to fight the Japanese pirates!
At this time, Qi Jiguang should still be in Shandong. Last year, he had just been recommended by Zhang Juzheng, and he was in command of the department to prepare for the Japanese invasion of Shandong.
According to records in Ji Xiao's new book, Qi Jiguang only began to study the use of the Yuanyang Formation to fight Japanese pirates after he was transferred to Zhejiang to fight against Japanese pirates next year. In this way, he can be said to be the founder of the Mandarin Duck Formation in the world.
Su Ze nodded and said, "Since there is an order from Baihu, I will go to Baihu Office in the afternoon to discuss the art of war with your brother." "Brother Aze, do you
agree?"
Lin Liangjun thought that Su Ze would not He was willing to go, but he didn't expect Su Ze to agree so quickly. He said happily:
"Brother Aze, you can teach my brother a lesson! He always forces me to read military books on weekdays, but I am still not convinced when I say you are better than him! "
Looking at Lin Liangjun with his elbows turned outward, Su Ze could only lament that it was really not easy for this female Baihu.
The genealogy does not record the final whereabouts of this female Baihu. She only handed over the position of Baihu to Lin Liangjun when he came of age, and then disappeared in the long river of history.
I don't know if traveling to Changning Guard will change the fate of this female householder?
