In the warm sunshine, there is a chair in the quiet yard, and there is a small tea table next to the chair, with a small teapot and a few small cups on it.
There was a man lying on the chair. He was holding a book in one hand and looking at it without blinking. He picked up the teapot with the other hand, skillfully poured the tea in it into the teacup, and then picked up the cup and delivered it to his mouth to taste the fragrance of the tea.
This person is the leisurely and comfortable Ling Feng, and he still scans the contents with the book as usual. Judging from his skillful movements, you will know that he has done such things many times.
"Young Master!" Lin Fanyun once again disturbed Ling Feng's pleasant time.
"Oh, Lao Lin. Are they finished?" Ling Feng asked.
"They shouldn't be over yet, and they haven't come back yet. But young master, is it really okay if you don't go and see it?" Lin Fanyun asked.
"Anyway, I just watched from the side in the past, and it was the same whether I went or not." Ling Feng said indifferently.
"But, this is a big deal no matter what. The emperor and the master have all come here." Lin Fanyun sweated in his heart. It's the same whether he goes or not!? This is how the young master is unexpected. Today is the day of exercise with the army. In the morning, he didn't pay attention to this matter except to pick up someone.
You should know that today is the center of the power of the empire. It can be said that the people here represent everything in the empire, including the king of a country. Such a lineup will be filled with people from all directions and respond to them. Everyone will approach these people so that they can get their appreciation. But some people ignore these people completely and read books in the yard, as if books are more important than them.
But it's right to think about it again. The young master has been in their circle since he was born, so he naturally has no immunity to them. But even so, he must at least accompany the guests! He is fine, ignoring these people at all.
Even if the above matter makes sense, both sides of the exercise today have their own people. He also doesn't care about his own performance in the exercise, whether it's a loss or a win or a win! This is the first time Lin Fanyun has seen such a person. I think that in this world, except for the young master, he would not think that other people will do this.
"Big things are big things, so they come here. But this is only for them, for me, today is just a show of our swords. I also said that even if I am present, the result will not change. I just need to receive them, and other things will be done by Nicholas. He will definitely not disappoint me." Ling Feng said calmly.
"It won't change? Young Master, do you already know the result?" Lin Fanyun said.
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Of course, our exercise can be said to have the best time, place, and people. Unless a miracle happens, my dad will be in trouble today."
"What does this young master mean to be the right time, place, and people?" Lin Fanyun asked in confusion.
Ling Feng sorted out and explained: "The right time, place, people, and simply put, are both factors that represent favorable to oneself. The right time refers to the weather, and the right place means the terrain, and the harmonious people are the soldiers. From the factors that affect the results of the war, the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmonious people."
"..." Lin Fanyun only has a rough understanding of this explanation, but cannot completely digest it.
After a while, Lin Fanyun asked again: "Young Master, what advantage do we have today?"
"This time I actually only gained the advantage of the territory and people, and the weather is just what I say by the way!" Ling Feng said.
"..." Lin Fanyun's head turned blank.
Ling Feng ignored Lin Fanyun's expression and continued: "First of all, our people have been training in the place where they are currently performing exercises for the past month. It can be said that on that piece of land, they can fight even with their eyes closed."
“…”
"Besides, this person and the people brought by my dad will have some influence on an unfamiliar ground. The most important thing is that when they come, they will directly practice without rest. The so-called exhausted soldiers will be defeated, which is the place where they suffer the most. But our people are waiting for their work and take a lot of advantage." Ling Feng explained the advantage that he felt most at ease.
"I understand this. But they are elite soldiers of the empire, but we are..." Lin Fanyun couldn't find a suitable title at once. It was impossible to call slave soldiers, because the young master had already said that in his eyes, there was no slave or slave, and all living beings were equal.
"I understand what you mean. But you forgot one thing: our people have been trained under Nicholas for more than a month. The so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers, so they will never be bad. In addition, they are elites, if not, they would not have survived so many wars." Ling Feng said.
"This..." Lin Fanyun wanted to say that there was still a certain difference in strength, but was interrupted by Ling Feng.
"Actually, it doesn't matter who wins and who loses in this exercise." Ling Feng said calmly.
"??Not important? Why?" Lin Fanyun couldn't help but be confused by Ling Feng.
"This time our purpose is to show them the advantages of using a knife, just let them see this. Others are secondary." Ling Feng explained.
"Oh, I understand." Lin Fanyun suddenly realized that he had just gotten into a dead corner and forgot the original purpose of this exercise.
"By the way, Lao Lin, do you have something else important?" Ling Feng remembered Lin Fanyun coming over. Since he was not here to report this matter, there must be something else. And it would not be an ordinary thing, otherwise Lin Fanyun would not disturb him.
"Yes, young master! Actually, this is not a big deal, but it must be decided by you." Lin Fanyun nodded, "It is among the group of people you bought, there is a pregnant woman, you know!"
"It seems that there is such a person. Her due date should be in the past few days. Is there something wrong with her? I remember that I have arranged someone to take care of her." Ling Feng said in confusion.
"It's not that there is a situation, but that she has given birth, and the mother and son are safe." Lin Fanyun replied immediately.
"Oh, I have given birth to a son, isn't that good?" Ling Feng said in confusion.
"The problem is that her current identity is a slave." Lin Fanyun said in a heavy tone when she was talking about slaves, reminding Ling Feng to pay attention. There is a practice in this continent that as long as the child born by a slave, his identity will be a slave, and the person belongs to his parents' master.
"So what if you are a slave? What does this have to do with her now?" Ling Feng noticed Lin Fanyun's reminder, but he still didn't understand what was wrong with this.
"Young master, do you want to give him something to prove his identity?" Lin Fanyun said tactfully.
"Identity proof?" Ling Feng thought for a while, then patted his forehead and said, "By the way, why did I forget about this? Okay, wait, I'll come soon." Then Ling Feng ran into the study room, tinkered in it for a while, and ran out like a gust of wind.
"Let's go, Lao Lin!" This sentence floated over Lin Fanyun's ears.
Young Master, are you leaving? You are not as fast as you run, and you don’t even see if I can follow you. Lin Fanyun looked at Ling Feng who was about to disappear behind the gate and thought helplessly.
Ling Feng's figure completely disappeared behind the gate, and Lin Fanyun was still standing there blankly, looking at the gate of the yard.
"Old Lin, why are you still standing there and doing it? Let's go!" Ling Feng's head stretched out and appeared in Lin Fanyun's sight again.
"Ah...wait for me..." Lin Fanyun was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately started running like Ling Feng.
In Heishishan, a small building that has just been completed not long ago. There is a yard in front of the building, and there are several small buildings around this yard. This was what Ling Feng used to be a hospital in the future. Now there is only one patient, and in fact this cannot be considered a patient. That is the pregnant woman mentioned just now by Lin Fanyun.
"Little baby, you are so cute." Ling Feng held a baby and pretended to be a grimacing at the newborn baby.
The mother who should have smiled now has a sad face. This is because Ling Feng in front of her turned her joy of having a child into melancholy. She was worried about the future of the child. Although Ling Feng was a good master in her eyes, she was still worried about the future of her son.
"By the way, has the baby named it?" Ling Feng teased for a while and asked the child's mother.
"Back to the young master, not yet."
"That Jiang Mei, what is your husband's surname?" Ling Feng remembers everyone's names and appearances, and of course he will not forget the woman he once asked someone to take care of.
"His name is Zhang Hu! He has died in the war." Jiang Mei said sadly.
"Don't mind if I give him a name!" Ling Feng said excitedly.
"It is his blessing for the young master to name the child!"
"Oh, then it's called Zhang Fu." Ling Feng shook his head immediately after saying this, "No, this is almost the same as his father's name. That's called Zhang Heizi, no. It's better to have Zhang Shitou, what do you think? Oh no, then it's called Zhang Yin, you say it's too girly. That..."
Lin Fanyun and Jiang Mei opened their mouths wide and looked at Ling Feng, who was still naming and rejecting his name. Never ask the young master to name them again in the future. This is the only thought in their minds now.
"Zhang Kui, I decided to call this." Ling Feng said for a long time and finally said a more suitable name. After hearing so many bad names, the two people nodded desperately.
"This name has been decided, so the next thing is to give him a certificate of identity." Ling Feng took out the thing that had just been stuffed into from the space bag. It was a piece of paper that could give the baby an ID. Then he wrote a few words on it with a pen.
"Oh... what should come is coming." Lin Fanyun and Jiang Mei sighed and said to themselves. They had no idea that the paper Ling Feng took out was a slave contract for the newborn baby.
"Now, Long Tian, ​​as the Lord of Black Stone Mountain, gave this newly born Xiao Zhangkui, the first one to be born in Black Stone Mountain..." Ling Feng deliberately paused, "A citizen!" and then handed the paper to Jiang Mei.
"Citizen?" Jiang Mei, who had just been desperate, was puzzled after hearing this title. She mechanically took over the identity certificate that Ling Feng gave her. What is the identity of a citizen? Could it be the name of a slave in the young master?
"Citizen?" Lin Fanyun, who was on the side, kept muttering these two words.
"Yes, it's a citizen. He is the first little citizen born here, and he will definitely be famous for his eternity in the future. Right, Xiao Zhangkui!" Ling Feng said while teasing the baby.
"Gaga..." The baby seemed to understand Ling Feng's words and let out his first laugh.
"Young Master. What is this citizen?" Lin Fanyun asked.
"Citizens simply refer to people from this country, which means that you and I are citizens of the Tianxiang Empire." Ling Feng explained.
"Young master, is a slave considered a citizen?" Lin Fanyun asked.
"I don't know if this slave counts whether it counts. It shouldn't be counted if he does not enjoy the right to the law, but he also assumes the obligation of the law. I don't know whether it counts or not." Ling Feng remembered the time when defining citizens, there were no slaves long ago.
"How can the young master be sure of this child's citizenship?" Lin Fanyun said in confusion.
"He is a civilian, not a slave. Of course he can be sure!" Ling Feng was surprised by Lin Fanyun's question and didn't understand why he asked like this.
"Not a slave?" Lin Fanyun and Jiang Mei shouted at the same time.
"No, what's wrong? What's the point? What's so fuss about this?" Ling Feng said in confusion.
"Young Master, do you say my son is not a slave?" Jiang Mei wanted to confirm again, because she was afraid that she had heard it wrong just now.
"No. He is just a newborn baby, how could he be a slave?" Ling Feng replied affirmatively.
Lin Fanyun saw Ling Feng who was a little confused and asked, "Young Master, don't you know that this mainland has a routine for children born from slaves?"
“What routine?”
"It is the child born by your slave, it is your slave!"
Ling Feng shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. Even if I know this convention, I won't use it. People are the same, especially newborn children. They are the same. There is no difference between good and bad, and there is no distinction between high and low. No wonder you just had that expression, and I thought I had made a slave contract for him."
"Thank you, thank you, young master..." Jiang Mei said in tears. She had never thought about the problem she had been worried about, and it turned out that it was simply redundant.
"Don't thank me, this is what you should do. If you want to thank me, it's not too late to thank me until your slave status is lifted." Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Well, I will do my best to help the young master." Jiang Mei said excitedly. She used to think that Ling Feng was just a statement and could not take it seriously. Now seeing this situation, she absolutely believes that Ling Feng will definitely remove their slave identity and make them a civilian.
Ling Feng shook his hand and said, "You should cultivate yourself first now, and you have to wait until your body recovers when doing things."
"Yes, young master! I will cultivate well and be able to do things for you sooner."
"Well, you have a rest. I'll leave first." Ling Feng saw that the matter was almost done, so he said goodbye.
"Young Master, walk slowly."
Ling Feng left the small building, because of the little baby's affairs, thought of something. Lin Fanyun behind him watched him trance. Today's incident caused a drastic change in Lin Fanyun's impression of him, and at the same time, it also made Lin Fanyun willingly do things for him, not just for his salary in the past.
As he walked, Ling Feng suddenly stopped and said to Lin Fanyun behind him: "Lao Lin, do you think we are going to build a school?"
"What did the young master say?" Lin Fanyun was a little absent-minded.
Ling Feng said deeply: "School, I want to build a school."
"Oh." Lin Fanyun responded.
"A school that our people and their children can go to, including the little Zhangkui just now. If he grows up a little, he can enter elementary school." Ling Feng said.
"?!Young Master, what school are you talking about? Can all our children go to? What is the elementary school?" Lin Fanyun asked three questions in a row. He just thought that Ling Feng was going to run those aristocratic schools, but he didn't expect that all of them, civilians, could go to.
"You can go to your children, and it's free. As for elementary school..." Ling Feng began to explain the school philosophy and general policy he had just thought of.
