People plow the fields and oxen plow the fields.
In the paddy field, the master and the apprentice walked in tandem, with Yunjing holding Dahei in front, and Li Qiu holding the plow behind. Mud water splashed everywhere as they stepped, and the mud soaked soft by the spring water became deep after they passed by.
Turned over deeply.
The so-called mud people are just ordinary people who roll up their pants and beg for food in the fields. When life returns to the most ordinary existence, no one is necessarily more noble than the other.
Time is changing. After many years, the master and apprentice are farming together, just like in the past, and the craftsmanship of the work has not become rusty at all.
Between the mountains, rivers and fields, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, everything seems so harmonious and natural.
The surrounding villagers didn't think anything was wrong, maybe they were just curious about the relationship between Li Qiu and the Yunjing family. They couldn't imagine that the master and the apprentice had not long ago entered the hinterland of the enemy country with thousands of troops.
Thousands of miles away, the three northern kingdoms were so scared that they couldn't sleep. The other one was chatting and laughing in the sky with the only known happy boss in the world...
"Why did the master come here suddenly? He didn't inform the disciple in advance so that the disciple could prepare in advance. He neglected the master, and it's Jing'er's fault." He led Dahei Yunjing as he waded through the water.
Li Qiu held the new plow steady, looking at the deeply turned soil as he stepped, his eyes moved, but he smiled and said: "It's good that Jing'er has this kind of heart, when have you ever seen me care about this? Instead of spending time entertaining me.
Teacher, I hope to see you achieve something more, that is the greatest reward for me as a teacher, this is fine now."
One thing to say is that over the years, Li Qiu has never been a formalist, he pays more attention to reality.
Yunjing didn't dwell too much on this and changed the subject: "Didn't Master return to Beijing to report on his work? Why are you here?"
Regarding Yunjing, Li Qiu had nothing to hide and said: "After the war, I and the generals returned to Beijing to report on their duties. Now that the military power has been handed over, the positions have been adjusted, and I have a three-month holiday. It is rare to have leisure. I will hear from you soon."
He said that he had figured out a new type of farm tool, and the teacher was curious, so he came over to take a look."
Hearing this, Yun Jing understood in his heart that the Thunder Fire Army was unparalleled in combat power and the royal family would not trust it in the hands of someone. They would definitely take back personal control. Yun Jing was not surprised at all by Master Li Qiu's handover of military power.
It is normal for any emperor who is not stupid to have such an army in his own hands.
So he asked out of curiosity: "What official position does Master hold now?"
"The position of state pastor in Mingzhou," Li Qiu said with a smile.
Wei Wei was dumbfounded. The adjustment span of his master's position was a bit big. He suddenly left the army and became a big boss. The position of state pastor can really be regarded as a feudal official!
Before this, Li Qiu was the commander of the third-grade army with 300,000 thunder and fire troops, while the position of Zhou Mu was the fourth-grade commander. It seemed that he had been demoted, but in fact he was promoted.
It should be noted that the post of state pastor has real power. He is responsible for regulating people's livelihood in a state. It cannot be compared with a general who is simply in charge of troops. Moreover, civilian officials are one level higher than military generals. They have the power to mobilize troops at certain times. Strictly
Speaking of which, Li Qiu, the fourth-rank state pastor, has a higher status than the third-rank army commander.
Not even an idiot can see the rise and fall of light, and I don't know how many people are envious of it. However, with Li Qiu's previous achievements, this is something that others cannot envy.
Moreover, Yunjing has every reason to believe that with the merits of his master, his current position as state pastor is completely gold-plated. Depending on the situation, he will definitely directly enter the cabinet and assume real power in a few years!
The civil service system is different from that of military commanders. Civil service officials talk about seniority, and this process is necessary. Before that, Yunjing thought that it would be good for his master to become a county governor, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly become a state pastor.
Now that the master has become a big boss, he, as his apprentice, also goes under the big tree to enjoy the shade.
Yun Jing said: "Congratulations, Master"
"Haha, I can't be happy as a teacher. You must know that I had no experience in managing a place before. Now that I have become a state pastor, the pressure is very great. I know how many people are jealous. If there is a slight mistake, I will be ginseng."
After all, civil service is different from military service. It is not as simple as military service." Li Qiu shook his head and said.
That said, Yunjing didn't feel any pressure from his master at all. To put it bluntly, Li Qiu was capable, and there were people above him to protect him. He also had so many achievements, and others were jealous. At most, he could just say a few words without hurting him.
, very stable.
Then he said: "With Master's knowledge and methods, it is not easy to capture the land of a state."
"It's not that simple. After studying for decades, now I can apply what I have learned. Let's fulfill our wish and do our best to benefit the people." Li Qiu shook his head and said.
Having said this, Li Qiu paused for a moment and then asked: "Jing'er, in your opinion, what aspects should we start with in order to become an official?"
Is Master testing himself?
He murmured in his heart that although Yun Jing had no plans to become an official, but for small talk, especially with his master, since we have already talked about this, there is no harm in talking, so Yun Jing thought for a while and said: "Master, Jing'er is young and has limited knowledge.
, I don’t dare to talk too much, but when the master asks, the disciple can just tell me his opinion.”
"In Jing'er's view, the way to be an official is nothing more than a few aspects, peace under rule, economic prosperity, people's livelihood, cultural inheritance, and rectification of corrupt officials. Well, it's almost enough to do these aspects well.
Of course, even though I say that, the actual situation is extremely complicated. It would be difficult for me to give you a simple explanation. You need to start based on various aspects of the local area."
After listening carefully, Li Qiu smiled and said: "You, if you said it, you didn't say it. But then again, asking you these things is embarrassing for you."
"Master still understands the righteousness well and knows that Jing'er is not that material."
"You're just lazy. Don't think that my teacher doesn't know what your temper is." Li Qiu shook his head and said.
Mingzhou is located in the middle of the Dali Dynasty, more than 2,000 miles away from Jiangzhou where Yunjing is located. The total population there is more than 50 million. The place is very rich and is one of the main grain producing areas of the Dali Dynasty.
Because it is located in the central part of the country, merchant trade is developed and the economy is also very prosperous. Many important figures have appeared in history, and educational resources are rich...
Recalling the information from Ming Dezhou and thinking of all these, Yunjing had every reason to believe that his master was purely for gold-plating to gain qualifications. However, his previous achievements fully qualified him for such treatment, and no matter how envious others were, he could not envy him.
As the master and apprentice chatted, a piece of land was tilled before they knew it.
Finally, Li Qiu looked at the new plow in his hand and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is a very good thing. It plows the land deeply and saves effort. The plowed soil is neat. Even if ordinary people use it, the efficiency is more than three times higher than the previous wooden plow. Especially
The cost is not high, and every farmhouse can afford it. If you promote it, it will benefit all people and bring blessings to the future. This is a great merit. With this thing alone, Jing'er, you are enough to be famous in history. I don't know how to praise you as a teacher.
Time and time again, there are so many surprises for my teacher..."
Standing at Li Qiu's current height, there are very few things that move him. If Yunjing's cultivation level was too high, or if he had killed some evil people, Li Qiu would not praise him so much. However, as a pragmatic person, he would be deeply moved.
I was shocked by this new type of plow.
It is such an ordinary tool, it represents people's livelihood, it is the farming work of hundreds of millions of people, it is related to the stability of the family and the country, and it affects the ages. In the face of this kind of influence, other personal achievements are simply insignificant.
People have different thoughts, different perspectives, and different ideas. Many people only think about personal honor and disgrace. They don’t pay attention to many things around them that are obviously far-reaching but inconspicuous. But many times, it’s just some inconspicuous things.
Only things that are eye-catching can affect the entire process of civilization!
Li Qiu rarely praised others, especially Yunjing. He was extremely harsh. Even if Yunjing had invented the fire medicine, Li Qiu had never praised him like this before. But now, he is really not stingy with his praises.
Benefiting hundreds of millions of sentient beings and influencing generations to come. How many people in the world can accomplish such an achievement?
There are too many people in the world who have left a mark in history. However, countless people among them are just individuals who have done something that is sung by the world. How does it benefit people's livelihood? Their personal achievements have a profound impact on the entire civilization.
In the face of history, it is really insignificant.
Li Qiu doesn't think what he thinks is an exaggeration. Look around. Those families who use new plows have more than doubled their farmland efficiency than before. Even if a family's farmland efficiency only doubles, looking at the world, what a difference that is.
A scary number?
It really made his scalp numb.
And this was done by his apprentice. How could Li Qiu not be happy? The higher the apprentice's achievements, the happier he would be as a master. It proved that he was right. Having such a promising apprentice in his life would be a life without hope.
Sorry.
Hearing the master's praise, Yun Jing did not get carried away. Instead, he said calmly: "Master's words are serious. Tools are just tools. Only when someone uses them can their value be reflected. Otherwise, they are nothing. And no matter how good a tool is, it needs people."
To use it, it is always the person who does the work, and the tool only plays a role in improving efficiency."
Li Qiu was both pleased and sighing, saying: "Jing'er, you should know the influence this thing has, and you can still be so indifferent, it's really rare."
"Jing'er didn't think much about it. After returning from a study tour, spring plowing started at home. The farm tools at home were aging and farming was inconvenient. She was thinking about how to save labor and improve efficiency. On a whim, she made a small modification to the plow. Now,
It seems that the effect is quite good. In fact, for Jing'er, the family can be less tired, which is enough. Of course, this thing can benefit all living beings, which is what Jing'er is happy to see," Yun Jing said calmly.
Washing the mud off his feet at the edge of the field, Li Qiu nodded and said, "Jing'er, if my teacher's guess is correct, the fertilizer on the farm was also caused by you, right?"
After a slight hesitation, Yun Jing said: "That's not true. Once, when Jing'er was young, her mother was planting vegetables in the yard. She was playing alone and put chicken manure in the seedling pit. Unexpectedly, the vegetable seedlings grew well and her family noticed.
Then I tried to use farmyard manure to grow grain. I didn’t dare to make any big splash in the first year, but the experiment showed good results. In the second year, I started to really use farmyard manure... This is probably the reason.”
"It's unintentional. After all, the farmyard fertilizer is also caused by you. Jing'er, you are really a blessing for the great separation, no, a blessing for all the people." Li Qiu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of all the things Yunjing had done.
Smiling, Yun Jing said: "Master, you are serious, Jing'er is so virtuous and capable."
"You can benefit the world with just one hair, and benefit all the people without fighting. This kind of mentality is something I have only seen in Master. This is not a compliment to you, but a fact. Keep up the good work. I am also looking forward to it."
Your future achievements”
"Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? Just live well in the present."
After cleaning the mud off his feet, Li Qiu said: "Let's go and sit at home. I haven't seen Uncle Yun and the others in some years. I just want to chat."
Li Qiu is Yunjing's master, one generation lower than Yun Lin. After recognizing Yunjing as his disciple, he naturally treats Yun Lin as his elder.
"Grandpa and the others often talk about Master. They will be very happy to hear that you are here."
"How are you doing, Uncle Yun?"
"Thank you Master for your concern. Grandpa and the others are in good health."
"That's good. Jing'er should be filial to her elders at home..."
On the way home, the master and apprentice were chatting, and then Li Qiu changed the subject and asked, "What are Jing'er's plans next?"
"Continue studying and strive to obtain the title of Juren as soon as possible."
"Well, there is no end to learning. You and I are just at the beginning of this path of knowledge."
"By the way, Master, after the busy farming season, our village is going to repair the path leading to the official road. It will be much more convenient to travel by then."
"This is a good thing. If you have any difficulties, you might as well talk to your teacher. I still have some abilities."
"Master, there is no difficulty. I don't think the villagers need to contribute much in terms of money. Master, you also know that now the second prince has established a relief society. I think he can apply for a road construction fund from there. The villagers are nothing more than a contribution."
It’s just strength”
"Relief societies, I have heard about them. They mainly help people who have no other way out. Xiaoxi Village needs to build roads. It may be difficult to apply for funds. Jing'er, you probably want to apply for it yourself. Why don't you go there after I am a teacher?"
Pass a note and solve the problem. It can only be controlled by one sentence. This is the face of being a teacher. It is not about enriching one's own pockets and benefiting the people. No one has anything to say."
"Will this trouble Master?"
"It's not troublesome, and after all, with Jing'er's contribution, if it is announced, it will be no problem for the court to take the initiative to help complete this road. But Jing'er, you have always been low-key, so just do what you want. You can do these little things
Don’t worry, just study with peace of mind.”
"That's okay, Jing'er listen to Master"
Yunjing also knew that applying for funds might be a bit troublesome, but it was not a big problem and it was nothing to worry about. Now that his master had helped solve the problem, Yunjing was happy to see the result. It was all a trivial matter anyway.
Without taking this issue too seriously, Li Qiu thought about it and asked curiously: "By the way, Jing'er, besides the new plow, have you figured out any other practical tools?"
"Speaking of this, my disciple has some ideas," Yun Jing said with a smile.
"Oh? Why don't you tell me?"
After sorting out his thoughts, Yun Jing said: "Master, in addition to the plow, Jing'er also thought about a grain threshing machine for the autumn harvest. The drawings have been drawn, but the actual object has not been produced yet. In Jing'er's imagination, there is
That thing can increase the efficiency of harvesting food in the autumn by at least ten times. The reason why I came up with the idea of developing this tool is because I heard from my family that there were natural disasters during the autumn harvest in some years, and the food was clearly harvested but not stored in the warehouse.
After a year of hard work, I thought that with that thing, even if there was a disaster during the autumn harvest, I could get the food back to the home improvement warehouse as soon as possible."
"Is it true?" Li Qiu asked in surprise.
Nodding, Yun Jing said: "Disciple, I don't dare to deceive the master. I will know later when I show the drawing to the master."
"This is another great merit. If it is true, I owe it to you, Jing'er, even if you risk your life for the teacher, you will not be deprived of it at all," Li Qiu said in a deep voice.
"Master's words are serious, Jing'er doesn't care about this, as long as he can help more people"
"Well, besides the threshing machine, is there anything else?" Li Qiu couldn't help but ask, his disciple is a treasure, and it seems that he can't finish it no matter what.
As a master, Li Qiu certainly doesn't covet the cloud scenery or anything, he is just curious.
Others don’t know it, and Li Qiu doesn’t know it yet. Nowadays, there are many cloud scenes on Emperor Dali’s desk. The emperor is so curious about Yun Jing that he wants to see it. If it’s not the Yun Jing itself,
I wish to speak to someone for Yunjing, and it is determined that Yunjing has been awarded an official title and is famous all over the world.
He had nothing to hide from his master Yun Jing, and said: "In addition to the threshing machine, Jing'er also thought about a waterwheel that can lead water from low places to high places for irrigation. This idea came from the fact that he saw some places where water was collected during the study tour.
Irrigation was difficult, so Jing'er began to think about it. The water wheel could collect water, and if a device was added, the stone mill could be driven by water. This would make it easier for people to grind rice and flour. The drawings have been drawn and will be shown to the master. At present,
That’s all, I’ll think about it later.”
Yun Jing has had these thoughts for a long time. In the past, he was afraid that his own people would stir up trouble with their slightest words, but now he no longer has so many worries. The master has a high position of power, so it would be best for him to help promote and benefit all people. Moreover, Yun Jing himself is not afraid of these things now.
After getting it out, he won't cause trouble, and he doesn't have to worry about others taking it as his own. Although he doesn't care, he still feels resentful when others take credit for his things.
Hearing what Yun Jing said, Li Qiu pondered for a moment, took a deep breath and said: "Jing'er, these things you mentioned are all great merits related to the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people. One by one, in one sentence
To describe it, this is 'establishing a destiny for the people'. How many scholars fail to achieve it throughout their lives, but you have already done it. If you were not young, no one would dare to say that you are wrong if you are given the title of Master!"
"You can't help it, Master, Jing'er didn't think about it that much," Yun Jing said quickly. He really didn't expect that Master's evaluation was so high.
To establish a life for the sake of the people is too exaggerated. Yunjing is not yet at such a high level of consciousness, he just simply feels happy to get these things out to help others and make the lives of ordinary people easier.
Li Qiu doesn't think it's an exaggeration at all. Whether it's farmyard manure, sledges, or even the threshing machines and waterwheel mills at the back, which one of these things has not benefited the people of the world and influenced all generations? Its significance is so great that even the title of Master is not enough.
, it’s not an exaggeration to offer Yunjing!
But he is still young, and these honors given to him now are actually harming him. Let’s talk about it later. After all, he deserves more than he deserves. These things are all recorded.
In Li Qiu's view, these things that can change civilization are the most precious, and things like gunpowder that harm the peace of the world are not worth mentioning...
When they saw the door of their home, the master and apprentice stopped talking.
The Yunjing family warmly welcomed Li Qiu's arrival. In the final analysis, the reason why this family enjoys such a good life today was because of Li Qiu's relationship.
Grandpa Yunlin and Li Qiu were having tea and chatting, talking about farming topics. Li Qiu is a good farmer, so he was able to talk well.
Killing chickens and ducks, a table of food and a pot of old wine, it's a happy time.
Knowing that it was the busy farming season, Li Qiu didn't bother him too much, and left in the afternoon. When he left, he took away Yun Jinghua's drawings of threshing machines and waterwheels. He would be busy again with these things.
Everything can be heard directly from heaven. It is related to people's livelihood and cannot be careless.
Although Yunjing is now invisible, his achievements are rare in the world. Once announced, it will shock the attention of many people. However, there are people helping Yunjing to protect him from wind and rain, but he will not do it for the sake of fame.
Don't worry, just live quietly.
On the third day after Li Qiu left, the mayor of Niujiao Town arrived with great fanfare and delivered a sum of ten thousand taels of money to Xiaoxi Village for road construction!
The reason was that the villagers of Xiaoxi Village had worked hard for the country. When they learned that the road was to be built, the imperial court gave them a special reward. They also invited several master craftsmen who specialized in road construction to provide guidance. They would come to help as soon as the construction started.
Others didn't know it, but Yunjing knew that it was his master who had implemented this matter.
Although the villagers of Xiaoxi Village were happy to have the imperial court's endorsement, they never thought that it was the Yunjing family's contribution that would create any estrangement.
In the face of these policies, the road in Xiaoxi Village is enough to be built into an official road. Construction will start after the spring plowing and farming...
With the new plow, the efficiency of plowing the land has been greatly improved. Within a few days, the Yunjing family's field was almost ready, and the next step was planting.
One bite will not make you fat. Yunjing decided to develop the planting technology of seedlings and transplants next year. After that, he will try to see if he can develop pesticides using the conditions of the current era. Well, it is not impossible to experiment with hybrid crops. In short
Take your time, there is plenty of time anyway, and you have to let people in the world have a process of acceptance.
From the bottom of his heart, Yunjing had no intention of being in the limelight. It was just that the common people were suffering too much at the moment, so he could do whatever he could to improve them.
That day Yunjing was sowing seeds in the fields with his family, and they were planting rice.
The current rice cultivation is still a bit backward. Without the process of raising seedlings and transplanting, the rice seeds are just soaked and germinated, and then sown into the paddy fields. The subsequent growth only requires pulling out some dense areas, and then weeding to maintain sufficient water sources.
, relatively speaking, the planting technology is relatively primitive.
He was very busy here, and there was a noise at the entrance of the village. The villagers looked around curiously, but there were three unknown teenagers who arrived, and they all looked like young men from rich families.
At first glance, he came to see Yunjing. As the only famous cultural person in Xiaoxi Village, the villagers were already used to seeing Yunjing. He had a wide range of friends and they couldn't compare to him.
Sure enough, three young men came on horseback and started shouting immediately. One of them, a fat man who sat down on the horse and foamed at the top of the horse, said loudly: "Ajing, where are you? We are here to play with you."
The visitors were none other than Yunjing's friends, Wang Bolin, Chen Yijian and Zhou Jintai.
They got together twice after the New Year. During the busy farming season, Yunjing was busy farming and had no time, but they took the initiative to find him.
"Fat man, Lin Zi, swordsman, this way", Yun Jing, who rolled up his trousers and held rice seedlings in the paddy field, greeted.
Upon hearing the response, the three of them dismounted, tied the horses to the roadside, and swarmed over. The road on the field was not easy to walk on. Zhou Jintai, who was almost fat, almost fell over, which made Wang Bolin and the others laugh.
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Chen and Xiao Zhou, you are here," Yunshan in the field greeted with a smile. He knew Wang Bolin and the others. Yunjing had a good relationship with them and had come to Xiaoxi Village frequently in the past few years.
"Hello, Uncle Yun, I'm busy."
The three of them greeted each other respectfully, without any ambiguity in etiquette.
Nodding, Yunshan looked at Yunjing and said, "Okay, Xiaojing, your friends are here, go play, don't neglect them."
"Dad, it's okay. Let's talk after we finish our work. They are free anyway," Yun Jing said with a smile. The relationship they grew up with was strong, and Yun Jing would not be too polite.
Then he said to Wang Bolin and others: "You came at the right time. What are you doing here? Hurry up and come down to help us work together."
"Uncle Yun, don't pay attention to us, don't delay the spring plowing," Wang Bolin said quickly.
Zhou Jintai, who was next to him, said with a grimace: "No, Ah Jing, you let us work as soon as we came here. Look at my body shape. Isn't this embarrassing for me?"
He said that, but while he was talking, he began to take off his shoes, tie his robe around his waist, and roll up his trouser legs to get ready to work in the fields. He had never done farming before, so it was quite novel.
Chen Yijian was already ready. After getting off the field, he smiled at Zhou Jintai and said, "Fat man, hurry up. You really need to work hard to lose weight because of your body shape."
"Speaking of which, A Jing is the most handsome man in Niujiao Town. If the girls in the town see A Jing working in the fields like this, I don't know how heartbroken they will be," Wang Bolin joked.
Seeing that they were enjoying themselves, Yunshan simply said: "I'll leave this land to you. I'll go work elsewhere and won't disturb you young people's get-togethers."
After saying that, Yunshan got up and left the field. Of course, this was just an excuse. He wanted to go back and inform his family to cook something delicious to entertain Yunjing's friends.
Zhou Jintai said: "Uncle Yun, don't worry, leave this place to us, everything will be taken care of, ouch..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he shivered from the cold when he went to the field. He lost his balance and fell to the field on the spot. It was like a bomb, suppressing a large amount of mud and water.
"Hahaha, you deserve it, fat man. I'm not telling you, you should really practice. If you can't lose weight, you have to be a flexible fat man." Chen Yijian immediately joked.
Zhou Jintai struggled to get up and said with a sad face: "I don't know how to help me, I just changed into new clothes when I went out."
Yunshan, who had not yet left, said worriedly: "Xiao Zhou, are you okay? It's okay. Come up quickly and go home to change clothes. Don't get sick."
"Uncle Yun, don't worry. I'm fine. Don't look at me as fat. I'm in good health. A Jing is here," Zhou Jintai grinned indifferently.
Yunjing was speechless, thinking to himself, are you helping with the work or causing trouble? He said to Yunshan: "Dad, it's okay. Leave this place to me. You can just go and do your own thing."
With that said, Yunjing came to Zhou Jintai's side in three or two steps, slapped him on the shoulder, and vomited his inner strength to quickly help him dry the water vapor on his body. As for the mud, there was nothing he could do about it.
Yunshan also knew that his son was very capable and didn't know much about martial arts, so he didn't worry too much. Seeing this, he felt relieved and nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave first."
After Yunshan left, Yunjing and the other two became more relaxed.
Zhou Jintai looked at Yun Jing with envy and said: "Ah Jing's hand really makes my eyes turn red with envy. It's the internal strength acquired late in life. It's so convenient that it can't be invaded by cold or heat. It's so handsome. I want to do it."
I pledge myself to you."
"Gungun, don't say I'm not good at masculinity. With your looks, even if it's a girl, I won't let you," Yunjing said with disdain.
Zhou Jintai was funny. He held his heart in his hands and said resentfully: "Ah Jing, you are such a heartless man. I remember that back then, we peed in a hole. It makes me so sad."
"I don't know this damn fat man." Wang Bolin shuddered and walked away.
Chen Yijian moved away without leaving a trace and said: "It's useless for you to be envious. When we were practicing martial arts together, who told you not to work hard? Now who can blame you if you can't even beat an ordinary person?"
Although he did not dare to compete with Yun Jing, Chen Yijian still had the ability to show off in front of his buddies. Now that he has entered the middle stage of acquired life, he can transfer vitality and his strength has been greatly improved.
"We are scholars, so we don't care about you reckless men who fight and kill," Zhou Jintai snorted.
Play comes to play and trouble comes to an end, work still needs to be done, and sowing is not a high-tech thing. Yun Jing just described it and they understood how to do it.
For Wang Bolin and others, this is a rare experience and they enjoy it.
Yun Jing sowed a handful of rice seedlings evenly, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Fat man, I remember you should be studying in the county school at this time, why are you here in the spare time?"
After graduating from the town, Zhou Jintai continued his studies, Wang Bolin took over the family business, and Chen Yijian concentrated on studying martial arts. Each had their own plans. He was a little surprised when they got together today.
Speaking of this, Wang Bolin looked depressed and said: "Don't mention it. When I went to school in the county town a few days ago, someone thought I was fat and said some nasty things. I couldn't get angry, so I paid someone to teach him a lesson.
, the other party also has some connections, and it went to the government, but nothing happened. When Mr. Xueguan learned about it, he asked me to go home and reflect on it. Isn’t this boring? So he and the two of them came to find you to relax."
"This kind of thing actually happened. You guys, you can't be more clean and use your hands and feet to find excuses for others and even go to the government," Yun Jing said speechlessly.
Wang Bailin said with deep understanding: "No, I have forgotten all the methods A Jing said at the beginning. For this kind of thing, it is best to secretly put on a sack and hit the sap. Look at you, you are so embarrassed."
"You guys don't know how to say something nice," Zhou Jintai said in a depressed voice.
Chen Yijian grinned and said: "What, do you need help to stand out? We have some means now, tell me, do you want hands or feet for that guy? I will help you to vent your anger."
"Wow, swordsman, you have become so cruel now, taking off people's arms and legs at every turn," Wang Bolin said with a glare.
Yun Jing smiled and didn't care. He knew that Chen Yijian was joking and he was not ignorant.
Zhou Jintai quickly waved his hand and said: "It's not that, it's not that big of a deal. It doesn't really matter. There's no need to use swords or guns. You can pull down the swordsman. I don't want to go to jail."
"You said this yourself, don't think we won't stand up for you," Chen Yijian said with a smile.
Rolling his eyes, Zhou Jintai said: "It's not you who wants to find someone to stand up to. Why don't I look for A Jing? He has a lot of clever ideas. He is nothing like you. He is single-minded and only does bad things with good intentions."
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean I have a lot of clever ideas? Please explain it clearly to me." Yunjing quit immediately. Doesn't that mean wisdom?
Zhou Jintai laughed and said, "Aren't I complimenting you?"
While talking and laughing, the work was almost done. After all, it was just sowing seeds, so the speed was not slow.
A few people went ashore to wash away the mud, and then rushed to the next field. Wang Bolin and others also followed the Yunjing to make noise.
"Ajing, I know a place with nice scenery. It's spring time and the flowers are blooming. How about we go for an outing together? I heard that there are many beautiful girls going to that place," Wang Bolin said with a wink.
Yunjing was speechless, thinking that this guy had changed his gender, but in the end, he still couldn't do anything without a woman.
Seeing that the work at home was almost done, the master had already helped to settle the funds for road construction. He did not have to worry about road construction. With nothing to do, Yunjing thought it would be good to go out for an outing, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, let's make an appointment"
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. How about tomorrow?" Wang Bolin couldn't wait to ask.
Yun Jing said: "Not tomorrow, the work is not finished yet, but it is being finished, maybe the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, we will stay at your house today, help finish the work tomorrow, and leave early the day after tomorrow for an outing." Wang Bolin nodded, and Zhou Jintai and the others had no objections.
They are also free, and although none of them are rich or wealthy, they can still live freely and comfortably.
People can't compare themselves to others, as long as they are happy.
With the matter settled like this, Zhou Jintai changed the subject and said, "By the way, have you heard that a new round of competition among the four great talents has begun?"
"The battle between the Four Great Talents? Isn't it once every five years? Why, it's happening again this year," Chen Yijian asked curiously.
Wang Bolin curled his lips and said, "I'm not interested in asking about this."
Zhou Jintai ignored him and said: "This year has indeed begun a new round of competition among the Four Talents. Scholars under the age of thirty can participate. This is a rare event, and because of our victory last year, it will be even more exciting than in previous years."
It's exciting. You haven't paid attention to this matter. I asked about it. The specific process is that each county selects five outstanding people, and then goes to the county to compete with outstanding talents from other counties, and goes up level by level.
In the end, four great talents competed in the capital."
"The so-called four great talents are the Master of Poetry, the Master of Painting, the Master of Music, the Master of Chess and the Master of Wushu. If anyone can win one of these titles, he will be a leader in a certain field among contemporary scholars. The specific competition is unclear.
, let’s just watch the excitement.”
After Zhou Jintai finished his popular science, Wang Bolin was slightly dumbfounded and interrupted: "Oh, that's not right. How come there are only five of the four great talents?"
"Isn't it normal to have five of the four great talents?" Zhou Jintai said matter-of-factly.
With a twitch of the corner of his mouth, Chen Yijian said: "There's nothing wrong with him."
"Actually, there are not only five of the four great talents. Among them, the title of Wujun can fall on one person at the same time as the other four. If anyone can get a nickname and also win the crown of Wujun, it will be one of the four.
The first of the great talents, of course, if no one can convince anyone in martial arts, it is possible that a fifth of the four great talents will be born," Yun Jing said.
Because his master Li Qiu was once one of the four great talents, Yunjing knew something about this.
"So that's what happened?" Wang Bolin and the others suddenly realized.
Then Chen Yijian looked at Yunjing thoughtfully and said, "Ajing, do you want to go and participate?"
"I'll forget it, I'm not interested," Yunjing shook his head and said.
His eyes lit up, Zhou Jintai said: "I think A Jing, you can definitely go and participate. We are convinced by your knowledge. Your martial arts is not bad, especially painting."
"Put me down, in the world, I am nothing." Yunjing shook his head and said, he was really not interested.
Wang Bolin rubbed his chin and said: "I think if A Jing participates, I don't know if he can get the title of the Four Great Talents, but it shouldn't be a big problem to get Yan Jun to come back."
"Agree!"
Zhou Jintai and Chen Yijian nodded at the same time.
Yunjing was too lazy to pay attention.
Seeing that Yun Jing was really not interested, Zhou Jintai changed the subject and said: "What, I heard from the gossip that the competition between the four great talents in this dynasty this year seems to be not peaceful."
"How do you say it?" Chen Yijian's interest was aroused.
Zhou Jintai thought for a while and said: "Well, I heard that the three northern countries seemed to be very unconvinced by last year's defeat. In fact, they were really unconvinced. Who made this dynasty come out of the legendary happy realm? There is nothing we can do.
Then, they want to cause trouble. They will send outstanding young people south to communicate with each other after the four talents of this dynasty are selected. To put it bluntly, they want to suppress the four new talents of this dynasty and regain some face in this regard."
"The three northern countries are still stupid. The princes are all being used as hostages in Dali, and they have to pay tribute every year." Wang Bolin curled his lips and said.
Chen Yijian said: "You can't say that. Although they lost the war, if they can suppress the younger generation of this dynasty, they can regain some people's hearts."
"That's right," Zhou Jintai nodded.
Yun Jing smiled and said: "Why do we care so much? It has nothing to do with us no matter what."
"Yes, we are too far away to even watch the fun," Zhou Jintai said frustratedly. He is just a little boy who wants knowledge but not knowledge, and skills but not skills. He doesn't know why he is so interested in this kind of thing.
Heart.
Wang Bolin changed the topic and said: "Okay, don't talk about this. Let's discuss the outing the day after tomorrow. What about that? I suggest that A Jing dress up ugly that day. After all, there are many beautiful girls in the place where he goes. Don't wait till then.
There’s nothing wrong with us.”
"You are right, even if A Jing is not here, what does your appearance have to do with you?" Zhou Jintai insulted him.
Wang Bolin's face fell and he said in confusion: "It seems to be the same..."
What does this mean? Are you going for an outing or are you going for other girls?
