Chapter 80: Borrowing a Horse
Kang Jiaoyu was an academic official in a county.
There is nothing wrong with insulting your colleagues.
Hu Zhao and the others have no fame whatsoever.
He could only lower his head with a red face.
I didn't dare to answer Kang Jiaoyu's words.
After Kang Jiaoyu criticized him for a long time.
Zhang Shengwen pulled Zhang Luo and said:
"Brother Zhang Luo, there is still an empty room in my house."
"If you have an idea, you can live in the county first."
Zhang Luo understood that Zhang Shengwen was worried about his safety.
He smiled and said:
"I know what Brother Shengwen means."
"But I just said it."
"I want the folks in Weili to be together."
When several people saw Zhang Luo, they were unwavering.
There was no further dissuasion.
Kang Jiaoyu ordered the kitchen to cook for five people.
Although it’s just white steamed buns with green vegetables.
But a few people who are already poor.
It's still refreshing to eat.
The meal is over.
Several people returned to the county school building.
Zhang Shengwen sat and said:
"Invaded Fujian a few years ago."
"It almost defeated Putian next door."
"There is also a small group of Japanese pirates who have arrived at the gate of Jinjiang City."
"At that time, Commander Xu did not have the courage to go out of the city to fight."
"Thanks to the county's township Yong'an Erlong for participating in the battle."
"We just defeated that group of Japanese pirates."
Zhang Luo asked:
"Approximately how many people are there in that Japanese pirate team?"
"About a hundred people."
Zhang Luo couldn't help but cough a few times.
The dignified Quanzhou Guard has more than 5,000 troops.
They were blocked in the city by a Japanese pirate squad of about a hundred people.
This is really unimaginable!
Zhang Luo asked Zhang Shengwen again:
"I see, isn't there a general cannon on the Jinjiang city wall?"
Zhang Shengwen waved his hand:
"Brother Zhang Luo, are you talking about the cannon on the city gate?"
"That was left over from the Hongzhi period."
"It's been there for forty or fifty years."
"There's no telling whether we can fire or not."
"And now in Quanzhou Weili."
"Basically no one knows how to use that cannon."
So that’s it.
Zhang Luojue's question was in vain.
Chatted for a while.
Zhang Luo asked again:
"After all, Quanzhou Guard has thousands of guards guarding it."
"Why do we still need the militia to fight?"
Zhang Shengwen said with contempt:
"It's hard to tell how many soldiers there are in the Quanzhou Guard."
"I'm afraid even Commander Xu himself can't understand this matter."
"I vaguely remember when the imperial court sent the censor to patrol the army three years ago."
"Beggars on the edge of town, gangsters."
"They were all taken away by the Quanzhou Guards and beaten several times."
Zhang Luo thought of it.
Shorting silver was common in the feudal era.
A soldier is given a ration from the court.
The local guard station directly recruits a soldier.
He took the court's money and food into his own pocket.
With this in mind, the imperial court sent a censor to the Qing army.
So this is why Commander Xu is so panicked.
Everyone talked about the Japanese pirates for a long time.
Wait until the last person has finished speaking.
The atmosphere in the dormitory was a little quiet.
Wei Kang sat on the bed.
Looking at the atmosphere, he said:
"Brother Hu Zhao is still safe."
"My home is by the famous river."
"Japanese pirates can't get there either."
Zhang Shengwen also nodded in agreement.
Hu Zhao waved his hand and said:
"My home is not stable either."
"The Chief Envoy's need for river goods is increasing."
"Half my family ran away."
"Became a bandit in the mountains."
"The chaos is no worse than the Japanese pirates."
Everyone was surprised.
Did the same thing happen to Minghe?
Suddenly, there was a lot of negativity and sighs in the dormitory.
After one night.
Today is the day when Kang Jiaoyu answers questions to the five people.
The five people discussed the problems they encountered while studying during this period.
Say it to Kang Jiaoyu.
Kang Jiaoyu patiently answered everyone's questions.
Hu Zhao and the three of them study at home every day.
Solutions to some problems.
They were all memorized according to the script.
I don't know the exact meaning at all.
Under Kang Jiaoyu's slow explanation.
These interpretations have been dismembered.
Things that were previously unclear were now understood smoothly.
Zhang Luo also asked three questions at the end.
Questions that I didn’t understand when I was reading.
Kang Jiaoyu gave Zhang Luo a complete answer.
Kang Jiaoyu answers every time.
Zhang Luo can get some experience.
Seeing such a convenient way to gain experience.
After Zhang Luo asked three questions.
Put some more.
I have almost solved the problem and brought it out.
More than twenty questions were asked at once.
Kang Jiaoyu was not bothered either.
Sit down directly face to face with Zhang Luo.
Answered to Zhang Luo slowly.
Wait until the confusion is over.
Kang Jiaoyu called Zhang Luo out alone.
said:
"Zhang Luo, you are studious and willing to study."
“It’s okay if you don’t understand some of the knowledge from the heart.”
"Nowadays, the main test in the imperial examination is Neo-Confucianism."
"You have a good talent, keep studying hard."
"It is not difficult to be a successful candidate when you are young."
"If you can keep going."
"There is also hope of passing the Jinshi Examination."
"Don't delay your future because of other things."
Zhang Luo knew that Kang Jiaoyu valued him.
Thank you and said:
"Thank you teacher for your advice."
"Students must continue to study hard."
Kang Jiaoyu went on to say:
"The coast has been uneasy lately."
"You can live in the county school for a while first."
"You can study with peace of mind in the county school."
Zhang Luo smiled, shook his head, and replied:
"My relatives are all in Zhenhai Guard."
"I still have to go back to my hometown."
"Student, thank you teacher for your kindness."
Kang Jiaoyu saw Zhang Luo's repeated refusals.
But I feel that Zhang Luo has a strong sense of responsibility for his hometown.
said:
"You have not forgotten your true intentions."
"I have no intention of trying to persuade you."
"I have a horse here, although it's not a thousand-mile horse."
"I usually run a little slower."
"But I can take you with me."
"You will ride this horse when you return home this time."
"What if something happens to Zhenhaiwei?"
"You can come to the county on horseback and ask for help."
Horses in the Ming Dynasty were the same as cars in the 21st century.
A poor quality horse costs at least seven or eight taels of silver.
There is not a single horse in the entire Zhenhai Guard.
Kang Jiaoyu was willing to lend the horse to Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo really felt that Kang Jiaoyu took care of him.
He said with tears of gratitude:
"Teacher, this horse..."
"Don't say no again."
"When did the coast become stable?"
"Just give the horse back to me."
"It also allows me to spend less money on horse feed."
"I'm almost penniless after eating all these animals."
Kang Jiao said this.
Zhang Luo didn't want to shirk anymore.
After Kang Jiaoyu leaves.
The disciple of the county school came to Zhang Luo and said, ""
"Master Zhang, the third son of the Xu family is looking for you at the gate of the county school."
Zhang Luo met this disciple when he first came to the county school.
At that time, he was still looking at Zhang Luo with his head held high.
After Zhang Luo went to school.
His attitude towards him was also very domineering.
Then a young master would take the initiative to come and call Zhang Luo.
Eighty percent of it was the money given by Xu Shouye.
Or they value Xu Shouye’s identity.
Fawning over Zhang Luo.
No matter what the situation.
Zhang Luo was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of wallflower.
He walked slowly to the gate of the county school.
Then he saw Xu Shouye, who was looking around.
"Brother Zhang Luo!"
Xu Shouye saw Zhang Luo coming out.
He strutted his legs and walked up to Zhang Luo.
He said with a happy face:
"Brother Zhang is really the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang."
"It's all thanks to Brother Zhang that everything happened this time!"
