Chapter Eighteen 'National History' and 'Warring States'
Li Chungang nodded when he heard Lin Ke's answer.
"Yes, you should finish reading these history books first."
He looked at Lin Ke's fiery eyes looking at the history book and couldn't help but smile.
"Senior, can I start now?" Lin Ke looked at the books and couldn't move.
"Of course." Li Chungang replied, and then walked out of the house. When he reached the door, he turned around and said to Lin Ke: "Don't just stay in the house. Come over with the book. No one has pulled the stone mill yet."
"Ah?" Lin Ke had no choice but to grab a book from the history bookshelf after hearing this, and then walked out of the room.
I have to read while working...
However, people are not obligated to read books to themselves for free, so just treat it as a part-time job to earn “books”!
When he walked out of the house, he saw Li Chungang, shirtless, holding a pot of soybeans and standing next to the stone mill with a small broom.
Lin Ke walked over and inserted himself directly in front of the stone-milled wooden pole. He put his hand on it and pushed hard.
"What do you want to do, kid?"
Li Chungang's voice came.
"Ah?" Lin Ke looked at Li Chungang with a puzzled look on his face: "Isn't it a stone mill?"
"You have to push the stone mill, but who told you that you have to go around the right side to grind the stone? The stone mill has to go around the left side!" Li Chungang said loudly: "Don't be like those rotten scholars who don't work hard on the four limbs and fail to distinguish the five grains!"
Lin Ke scratched his head in embarrassment.
Only then did he remember that he had read the corresponding knowledge in his previous life. The stone mill was divided into upper and lower parts, and the pattern of the contact part in the middle was carved counterclockwise.
If you turn it to the right and move it clockwise, the stone mill will not work and the grain will run along the center.
Turning to the left is counterclockwise, because the stone grinder contacts with a counterclockwise pattern, so the stone grinder can work normally.
Lin Ke quickly changed his position and stood on the left side of the wooden pole, holding his hand on it and asked: "Old man, can I move?"
Li Chungang nodded but said seriously: "Remember, I am only responsible for teaching you. What you can learn depends on you and it has nothing to do with me."
Lin Ke nodded when he heard this. He held the wooden pole with both hands and pushed it hard. The stone mill started to move slowly?
Fortunately, Lin Ke's body has practiced some martial arts, and his body is still better than ordinary people.
The stone mill started to rotate. Lin Ke didn't feel how heavy it was and could still handle it.
"Then you start reading, remember to concentrate." Li Chungang stood nearby.
Hearing this, Lin Ke took out the book he just took out of his arms.
The title of the book is "On the Warring States".
Lin Ke was a little surprised. He was surprised that it turned out to be the word Warring States, and then he held the book in one hand and turned the pages with his thumb.
As soon as he started reading, Lin Ke naturally became immersed in it.
The first sentence of the title: "Qin Xingshi came to Zhou and asked for the Nine Cauldrons."
When Lin Ke opened it, he discovered that this book actually recorded the early Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Look down.
"Qin Xingshi came to Zhou to ask for the Nine Cauldrons, but Zhou Jun was troubled by it, so he complained to Yan Shu..."
Li Chungang watched Lin Ke start reading and sat directly on the stone mill.
Then Lin Ke felt the weight of the wooden pole in his hand, so he looked at the stone mill and found Li Chungang sitting on the stone mill, so he looked back and read.
"The king of Qi Dayue sent out 50,000 troops and sent Chen Chen to think of generals to save Zhou, but Qin's troops stopped..."
In the yard where two people were, one was sitting quietly at a high place, and the other was standing with one hand grinding and the other holding a book.
Li Chungang didn't speak, and neither did Lin Ke.
The only sounds left in the courtyard were the grinding sound of the millstone, the sound of footsteps, and the gentle sound of turning books...
noon.
Li Chungang sat on the stone mill with his eyebrows lowered and dozing off.
"Master, Master Li."
Lin Ke's voice rang in Li Chungang's ears, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Li Chungang waking up, Lin Ke said with a smile: "Master, it's noon, I've finished reading the second book, and I've finished grinding the beans.
It turned out that there was a small hole under Li Chungang's basin, and the beans fell down, so when Li Chungang fell asleep, the beans were also filling their eyes.
It's like filling a bottle with water, drilling a small hole under the bottle, opening the bottle cap and letting the water leak out.
Li Chungang nodded, got off the millstone and walked towards the house. He stopped and looked at Lin Ke as if he remembered something and asked:
"You said you have read two books? Which two books?"
Lin Ke was cleaning up the soybean residue on the millstone. He stopped what he was doing and answered directly: "On the Warring States Period and National History."
Li Chungang was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Ke suspiciously and asked: "You finished reading it so quickly, have you remembered it?"
Lin Ke smiled and nodded.
"So fast..." Li Chungang's eyes were strange: "Then I will test you! If you don't get the answer, you can continue to grind today!"
Li Chungang then asked Lin Ke two questions about Lin Ke's "On the Warring States".
They are, what happened after the Qin army attacked Yiyang? Why did Chang Ta die in Xizhou?
Lin Ke smiled confidently when he heard Li Chungang's question, and answered slowly: "After Qin defeated Yiyang, Yin Jing advanced his troops... He became famous because of Feng Qie's advice, and Feng Qie first..."
Li Chungang's expression did not change at all, and he continued to ask:
"How did Su Tai persuade King Qin Hui? What do you think of this?"
Ask Lin Ke for his opinion!
The former question refers to the recitation in "National History", and the latter question is an examination question.
But Lin Ke's confident smile did not diminish, and he replied confidently: "He said to King Qin Hui, 'The king's fault... I think what Su Tai did was just a scholar's livelihood!"
Not to mention that the two worlds have similar historical overlaps, but in terms of listening, speaking, reading and writing, Lin Ke does not consider himself to be very bad.
Li Chungang didn't say anything, but glanced at Lin Ke and turned around and entered the house.
Lin Ke stood there, his mood far from as calm as it appeared.
He turned around and cleaned the soybean residue on the stone mill while thinking about what he had just read in the book.
Before the Wei Dynasty, the history was almost the same as the previous one.
Of course, there are still many differences.
Just talk about the differences.
Such as this otherworldly power!
Qi Dayan, Lin Shangshu, etc. all have extraordinary powers. This kind of power does not conform to the basic physical laws of the material world in previous lives!
In addition to strength, there are also differences in some historical lines.
Just like the last record in "Warring States", Confucius actually appeared here.
Confucius, the sage Kong, original name: Kong Zhongqiu.
What did Saint Kong do?
In addition to composing "Spring and Autumn", he actually created an eclectic and inclusive work!
What is eclectic and inclusive?
That is, regardless of your various schools of thought, such as Mohism, Legalism, Farmers, Medicine, etc., take all their strengths and merge them into Confucianism!
Except for Taoism, which is relatively strong, all the other schools are disciples of saints!
Lin Ke suspected that if Taoism had not had an immortal, Taoism would not have been able to hold on at that time.
And even if he could hold on, he would still become a cultivator of immortality.
Lin Ke was stunned when he saw this, but what he saw next made him even more speechless.
Because although they are almost the same, Link also discovered various differences in this world.
For example, "National History" records that the Immortal Doctor Bian could lift the flesh and bones of living and dead people with his hands, and even powerful men such as Qin Shihuang and the Great Wei Shenghuang were able to lay down a million corpses without relying on soldiers and armor!
Like Qin Shihuang in both worlds, but the Qin Shihuang in this world was besieged by the strongest of the six countries, and he still died together with the strongest of the six countries.
But due to the death of Qin Shenghuang, the world was left without a master for the remaining six kingdoms, and the Han Dynasty prospered, and then entered a three-part world...
Buddhism was introduced, and Sakyamuni became the third school of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to have a strong saint-level doctrine...
In the end, the chaos among the six tribes continued, the Holy Emperor emerged, established the Wei Dynasty, and unified the world...
Wonderful, so wonderful!
Of course, this also gave Lin Ke an insight into the power of the Holy Emperor today!
From ancient times to the present, only one person, Queen Qin Shi, has been called the Holy Emperor, and that is the Holy Emperor of Wei!
I don't know what kind of grace it is... While packing the stone mill, Lin Ke was also thinking, and at the same time, he couldn't help but yearn for the Holy Emperor.
After cleaning up the stone mill, he went into the house to help Li Chungang cook.
He can smell the fragrance outside, and even though he doesn’t know how to cook it yet, he can help light the fire together!
Li Chungang didn't refuse. It was relatively fast for two people to cook.
In a short while, a table of dishes was ready, including one meat and two vegetables. As the rice came out of the pot, the meals were complete.
The two sat down and Li Chungang started eating directly, but Lin Ke didn't move his chopsticks and looked at Li Chungang doubtfully.
Sensing Lin Ke's gaze, Li Chungang did not raise his head, but continued to eat the rice in the bowl.
Lin Ke spoke: "Master, Sister Li Feiyu..."
Before he finished speaking, footsteps came from the door, accompanied by words, sharp and harsh:
"Why are you looking for me? I can't even shut your mouth when I eat? Do I know you well? How can I trust you, my man?"
6.
Lin Ke translated it, and it should mean...
How come you, a common man, are like this!
So Lin Ke stood up with a smile and bowed in salute: "Feiyu, you're back. I'm afraid you'll be late and the food won't taste good if it's cold."
Li Feiyu said directly: "I was watching the door in front, and I got upset when I saw you. How dare you..."
"Cough..." Li Chungang coughed, as if he had choked on his rice.
"Huh." Li Feiyu didn't say anything more, but sat on the stool, picked up the rice bowl with all his strength, and started eating.
When Lin Ke saw this, he also picked up his rice bowl and started eating without getting angry at all.
There were three people having a meal, no one spoke, there was only the sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl from time to time.
