In the early morning of the next day, 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 plants and trees that were burnt into ashes during the refinery of 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 calls you to go back for dinner."
Su Ze rubbed his waist and said, "Go back now."
Returning to the family temple, Aunt Jiu had already prepared breakfast. What she ate today was the biscuits that Su Ze brought back from the county. It was much more delicious than cold vegetable porridge. After finishing the meal, Su Ze asked Aunt Jiu
road:
"Auntie, how are those Japanese pirates doing?"
Aunt Jiu wiped the corners of her mouth and said:
"My grandpa has tried it. Zhu Qi and the others are salt workers who were forced to die. They were originally honest people, but the world is like this!"
How much of the Japanese rebellion in the Southeast is real Japanese pirates, how much is maritime merchants or smugglers pretending to be Japanese pirates, and how much is ordinary people who cannot 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 they are all good people.
After becoming Japanese pirates, Zhu Qi and others also robbed several merchants selling salt on the black market. Although no one was killed, 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 grandpa asked them to work with Arhat's Foot to open up wasteland, and he also sent people from the ancestral hall to take turns taking care of it. These people do a good job."
"What about Xiong Wu?"
"Xiong Wu is still locked up in the Punishment Hall, and this guy doesn't make any noise. He just eats and sleeps every day, and is always clamoring to see you."
Su Ze even felt that Xiong Wu had other plans in his mind. This guy had a complicated background, so he had better stay locked up for a few more days.
Aunt Ninth continued: "During this period, those children have been drying salt at the beach every day. I asked them to move the salt to the back compartment."
Su Ze quickly thanked Aunt Ninth, and Aunt Ninth said, "I'm old, so I'm counting on you young people to take care of the health center."
"My grandpa also said that Chang Ning Wei will rely on you young people to carry the burden."
"Are you still going to health school today?"
Su Ze looked at the "hard-working" BUFF on his body, and saw the "Enlightenment" skill that was about to reach level 5. He nodded and said: "I will continue to go to the health school today to teach the children how to read."
Aunt Ninth thought for a while and said, "Didn't you share the children's money last time I was exposed to salt?"
Su Ze nodded. Last time he sold refined salt, Su Ze also gave some money to the children who helped him dry the salt. Although it was not much, it was still a reward for these children.
Aunt Ninth said, hesitating to speak:
"When you share the money with those children, their families will think that you are capable and want their children to study with you."
"If it delays your studies, just send them back. I was reluctant to let their children go to the School of Health before, but now it's too late."
It turned out that this was the case. Su Ze didn’t care. Anyway, with more people, it would be faster to use the “Enlightenment” skill. He said:
"It's okay for more people to attend the class, but they have to prepare their own sandboxes and reed poles for calligraphy, and they also have to prepare their own pens and ink that they need for reading in the future."
"Of course, then I will go back to those houses and ask them to send the children!"
The days seemed to be back on the original track. Su Ze read for a while in the Wei School, and then he took the carrots to start reading, and then practiced calligraphy using a sand table and a reed pole.
Imperial Examination: Lv3,20/300
Calligraphy:Lv2,85/200
Let’s look at the opening skills: Lv4, 389/400. There is only one last step left to reach level five.
When Su Ze was planning whether 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 busy this afternoon?"
"What's wrong?"
"Well, my brother wants to invite you to Baihusuo."
"Lin Baihu?"
Su Ze was a little confused. He had never seen this Baihu since he arrived in Changningwei.
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 the Changning Guards and lived in seclusion only training in the school grounds.
Before, Su Ze was an outsider, so Lin Baihu would naturally 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 to learn more about the situation and cope with the disaster next month.
However, he still pretended to be reluctant, and Lin Liangjun immediately said:
"My brother wants to ask you for advice on the art of war!"
The 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 want you to go over and ask about the formation."
Su Ze was stunned for a moment. He had really underestimated the military capabilities of the Lin family, a hereditary family. He actually saw that the mandarin duck formation was a method of fighting Japanese pirates?
Just fight the Japanese pirates. This Yuanyang 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 charge of commanding Qian affairs 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 next year to fight against Japanese invaders. 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 Baihu has an order, I will go to Baihu Station in the afternoon to discuss the art of war with your brother."
"Brother Aze, did you agree?"
Lin Liangjun originally thought that Su Ze was unwilling to go, but he didn't expect that Su Ze agreed so quickly. He said happily:
"Brother Aze, you can teach my brother a lesson! He always forces me to read military books, but I'm still not convinced when I say you're 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 householder.
The genealogy does not record the final whereabouts of this female Baihu. She just 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?
