The Meng children in the school below suddenly became noisy, but under Xu Xiucai's stern eyes, there was silence.
"Listen to the superintendent, you will go with the adults to build a fort later, and you can help in any way you can!"
"If anyone has a spoiled temper, don't blame your teacher for being unkind..."
Xu Xiucai reprimanded everyone for being ignorant of Tongdao.
After hearing this, Lu Zilin also somewhat understood why Xu Xiucai secretly asked him to come here to be this villain. It was just to educate the young boys in the school.
Lu Zilin pondered for a while, "When the adults are building the fort later, you will give them food."
These are easier jobs.
In the past, women and children also did this, but they were not educated boys in school, but children who had never gone to school.
Building a fort is a matter for the entire Bailu Village.
In the open space outside the adjacent village, three new loess stoves were built.
There was a cook in the village who was good at cooking and was cooking with skillful movements. One pot was simmering soup, the other was steaming steamed buns.
Since Mr. Lu in Bailu Village became prosperous as a chef, the young people in Bailu Village have also followed suit, and many spoon-spooners have emerged from the village.
The so-called Spoon Spoon Guest refers to the chef hired by the host for weddings and weddings. The taste of the food may not be as good as that of a restaurant, but the price is cheap and the cooking is above the standard.
"I think the superintendent is targeting us."
"Because I am someone from a neighboring village who deliberately targets me... and assigns me the most tiring work."
After Zhou Yuan finished moving a pile of firewood, he was out of breath and out of breath. He leaned next to Bai Gui and complained in a low voice. Because they were the oldest and half-young, they assigned the most tiring one to the other.
He worked hard to help collect firewood from every household in the village.
Before winter approaches, every household has spare firewood to make it easier to survive the winter.
Stacks of firewood are piled at the corner of each house’s eaves and walkways.
"What nonsense?"
"Superintendent Lu is not that kind of person!"
Although Bai Gui agreed with what Zhou Yuan said in his heart, he still refused to accept the words. If others knew about this, it would be a troublesome matter. Zhou Yuan's family was rich, and he would not be able to choose another place to study at worst.
"Do you know Li Zhongtang? He said that the current situation is undergoing great changes that have not happened in three thousand years, and foreign barbarians are causing harm to China. It is the time for good men like you and me to use force. This time is different from the previous prosperous times. If you exercise well, you will definitely have good health.
Very useful!”
Bai Gui thought for a while, then changed his subject and advised.
If you want to stand out from the crowd, it is not possible to achieve a blockbuster success like King Chuzhuang. King Chuzhuang was originally a prince and had a natural leadership ability for the Chu country. It is best to break out of the bag like a hairpin and slowly reveal your edge.
, is the best policy.
"Li Zhongtang? Li Hongzhang, where did you hear this sentence?"
"The situation has undergone major changes not seen in three thousand years. Good sentence, good sentence!"
Zhou Yuan was shocked. Bai Gui, who usually looked dull, made such astonishing remarks. This was not ordinary.
"This... is what I heard when I heard people talking about it in the town."
Bai Gui hesitated for a while and then explained evasively.
Only then did he suddenly realize that some of the things he had taken for granted in his previous life might have never been heard of by people at this time.
For example, Li Hongzhang said "a great change unseen in three thousand years". This was what Li Hongzhang said in May of the 11th year of Tongzhi when he was reviewing the compromise of not abolishing the shipbuilding industry.
This was mentioned in a folded letter to the emperor.
Even though nearly forty years have passed, this sentence has not been heard in the vast countryside outside the information cocoon room.
"Brother Bai is right. This is the time for you and me to use force. It is necessary to exercise well." Zhou Yuan took a deep look at Bai Gui and his expression became much more serious, no longer the playful look just now.
Although it sounds like this sentence was just overheard by Bai Gui, you must know that even if ordinary people hear this sentence, they will not pay much attention to it, otherwise it will not be the first time he hears this sentence.
sentence.
Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang have been dead for seven years now.
He developed a real desire to make friends with Bai Gui.
After that, Zhou Yuan was more like taking a shot of chicken blood. He did not procrastinate at all in his work, but instead regarded it as his own training.
…
The forts are built around Bailu Village. Some of the fort walls are the courtyard walls of large families, regardless of each other. This part of the fort is also the strongest and is basically built with blue bricks.
After delivering the firewood, Bai Gui patiently observed the construction of the Wubao in Bailu Village.
First, place the straw mat in the gap in the fort and pour cold water on it. The ground is freezing and the weather is cold. Within an hour and a half, the straw mat will be frozen to a solid state. Water the gap between the two straw mats with cold water and wait until it passes.
A while ago, the gap was filled up tightly.
Lunch was enjoyed on the communal stove.
It's better than what I usually eat.
After three days of busy work, the castle was finally renovated. Because of the water, the ice castle was much harder than before. In these days, the students had to go to the construction site after morning and afternoon classes.
Please help.
The Meng boys kept complaining. They were children of wealthy families.
After this back and forth, many people fell behind in their studies and were criticized by their teachers. At the same time, Bai Gui, who was used to doing hard work and had a good memory because of the combination of work and rest, was praised by Xu Xiucai in public and given as a gift.
I got two copybooks from Bai Gui, namely "Yan Qin Li Stele" and "Duobao Pagoda Stele".
"Yan Qin's Li stele captures the essence of Yan Lugong's regular script, but it is not easy for beginners to learn. You should first learn this "Duobao Pagoda Stele" and practice twenty strokes every day. After studying it in the evening, give it to me for review. Do not slack off at all.
"
Xu Xiucai warned.
After that day, more than 20 Meng children in the school had no idea of Bai Gui's past and did not dare to look down upon him in the slightest.
After all, Bai Gui had only been in school for about half a month, and he had already surpassed many of them, and even received a copybook from his husband.
But no one was jealous.
This is what Baigui deserves.
If Bai Gui fished for three days and dried the net for two days, and still achieved the current results, then they would definitely be dissatisfied, angry at the injustice of the world, and jealous of Bai Gui's talent.
But Bai Gui is the first to arrive at school every morning and works hard.
They saw all this.
There is nothing to be jealous of such a person.
Similarly, because of this, many Mengtong students also secretly made up their minds to study hard, so with Xu Xiucai's gift, it greatly encouraged the studious spirit in the school and wiped away the previous laziness in the school.
Inside the house, the lamp flames were as bright as beans.
"Zhu Zi said: 'First read "Great Learning" to determine its scope; secondly read "The Analects" to establish its foundation; secondly read "Mencius" to observe its progress; secondly read "The Doctrine of the Mean" to find out the subtleties of the ancients.
'."
"In the study of Confucian classics, I will teach you "The Great Learning" first..."
Xu Xiucai sat on the stool, pressed his little finger on the corner of his sleeve, opened the yellowed book on the desk, and began to lecture.
