Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 49 Why Literacy?

Zhang Jun squatted on the ground, holding a big sea bowl, and a pair of chopsticks pulled the rice, eating very sweetly.

The rice is corn, cooked well and served under a sea bowl.The top is a large pot of stewed vegetables, covered on top, the vegetable juice soaked in the rice, which really makes people appetite.The stew was specially ordered by Wang Xiaolie. Every day, a little fat pork was used, tofu was added, and seasonal vegetables were added, and they were stewed together in a large pot.This kind of big bowl is used for meals in the army.Half bowl of rice, half bowl of vegetables.

In recent military training, Zhang Jun has achieved the best results, and now he has become a leader.Every time he served a dish, he instructed the cook to add a few pieces of fat dregs to himself, which tasted extraordinarily delicious.

Sun Wulang and Qingtou, who were sitting on the ground, were eating with their bowls in their arms, looking up at Zhang Jun from time to time with envious eyes.They knew that there was meat in Zhang Jun's bowl and that it was very fragrant, but they couldn't eat it.

Zhang Jun occasionally saw the eyes of Sun Wulang and Qingtou, and sneered in his heart.It is a rare blessing for these two dolls to be taken in by the army, without worrying about food and clothing.Still thinking about eating meat is really greedy.Zhang Jing is not a mother-in-law, but he will not take special care of them because they are young.My current status is earned by my ability, what does it have to do with others?

Cao Zhiyan brought a big bowl and walked over slowly.Sun Wulang looked up and saw it. He quickly stood up and ran over. He said, "Master, Master, why are you here so late? Look at everyone else's food."

Cao Zhiyan smiled: "I have something to do, so I came a little late." As he spoke, he touched Sun Wulang's head and walked to Qingtou.

Looking at the bowls of Sun Wulang and Qingtou, Cao Zhiyan said, "You two dolls, when you are growing your body, it's not good to have no meat at all. Come on, I have a few pieces here, and the two of you will share them. "

While talking, he took the meat out of his bowl and put it into the bowls of the two children.

While thanking Sun Wulang and Qingtou, they devoured the fat dregs and laughed happily.

Cao Zhiyan smiled and ate the rice from his bowl.He was originally a monk, what did he not eat when he went out for alms?Sometimes when you're hungry and full, don't you come here?He was extraordinarily tall. At that time, he couldn't get enough to eat, and his body was thin to a skeleton.Outside of Kaifeng City, at least he was full, and his body slowly grew fleshy, making him look stronger.

Zhang Jun turned around slightly, deliberately ignoring Cao Zhiyan and his two children.In his heart, he laughed at Cao Zhiyan's madness.Two wild children, Xiaosheren's adoption in the army is a great gift, why bother with them?A few days ago, it was the mother Pan Sanniang who took Sun Wulang and Qingtou, Zhang Jun didn't like it.After entering Kaifeng City, Xiaosheren asked Yang Shen and others to teach people to read, and the two children also came to learn, and Pan Sanlang just stopped caring about them.

Cao Zhiyan ate all the rice in the bowl, put down the bowl, and said to Sun Wulang, "I heard from Xiao Sheren that we will go to Luoyang next month. Do you two children like it?"

Sun Wulang said: "I heard people say that Luoyang City is bigger than Kaifeng City, and it must be extremely prosperous!"

Cao Zhiyan shook his head: "Luoyang City is really big, but it was set on fire by the Jinren last year. How can it be called prosperous? Well, since the Jinren came to the south, many prosperous places have been deserted."

Sun Wulang pouted: "What the master said is. In our village, dozens of families used to be very lively. When the golden man came, there was no one in the village except me and Qingtou, and we could only play with the cat. La."

Cao Zhiyan nodded, but did not answer.This question is too heavy for a casual conversation.

After a while, Sun Wulang and Qingtou also ate and took away Cao Zhiyan's bowl.After a while, the three of them chatted.

Sun Wulang said: "Master, you are an eminent monk in Qingliang Temple. I wonder if the temple is still there?"

Cao Zhiyan shook his head: "Where am I an eminent monk? It's just an ordinary monk in the temple. Speaking of which, I have been in the temple for seven or eight years, and I didn't even have an ultimatum. Qingliang Temple is a big temple. I heard that many monks have fled, and now the temple is very deserted. Alas, when I was in the temple, Master treated me very well, and I don’t know if Master is well now.”

Sun Wulang imitated the adult and patted Cao Zhiyan: "Master, don't worry, the lucky people have their own good looks."

Cao Zhiyan smiled and shook his head.

Sun Wulang said again: "Master, when the battle is over, will you go back and become a monk?"

Cao Zhiyan listened, looked up at the sun in the sky, and did not speak for a long time.After a while of silence, he said, "How do I know? However, when will this battle be over, who dares to say? With the ferocity of the Jin people, how can they drive them away?"

Sun Wulang nodded.Holding his cheeks and looking at the people resting in the shade, he was speechless for a while.

Wang Xiaohun came out of the tent and saw that everyone was resting. He came over and said, "I'm done eating, why don't you go to class?"

Cao Zhiyan stepped forward to salute.Said: "Xiao Sheren, the weather is too hot, and everyone is tired. Take a break, and then study after noon."

Wang Xiaohun said: "Do you know that there are not many stable days for learning. Next month, we will go to Xijing. At that time, there are many things to do, where will there be free time? If you are literate in military high school, you must use all your time. , do not slack off.”

Cao Zhiyan said yes.After being silent for a while, he said, "Xiaosheren, we are armed with knives and guns, not hairy awls. Many people in the army can't understand, what is the use of learning to read? The two armies will not be more literate than the other. ."

Wang Xiaohun said, "Does an army have more time to fight? Or more time to not fight?"

Cao Zhiyan said: "Of course there are many times when you are not fighting. You fight every day, how can there be such an army in the world? However, when you are not fighting, you must also be diligent in training and not idle. After all, being a soldier is to fight and kill. The enemy is nothing else."

Wang Xiaohun said: "You can go into battle and kill the enemy, you also have a lot of knowledge. How to train in peacetime, and how to form an array in wartime, don't be casual. If you don't learn this knowledge, how can you know it? We are a rebel army. manage."

Cao Zhiyan said: "Xiaosheren, as long as you have been in the army for a long time, these things will come naturally. For example, the instructors from Taiwei Wang's army are all people who have been in the army for many years. Where do you need to be taught by others? We have only been in the army for a short time. That's it."

Looking at Cao Zhiyan, Wang Xiaohun was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.In this era, illiteracy in the army is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many people even think that they should not be literate when they are in the army.Isn't it a waste of time to learn the skills of fighting and literacy?

Wang Xiaohun didn't know how the army in the previous life made the army eager to learn culture.A literacy is obviously a good thing for people, how can I encounter so many difficulties.Almost everyone in the army felt that they were wrong.

After a long time, Wang Xiaohun couldn't think of how to convince Cao Zhiyan.I had no choice but to say, "This is the way our army is built! Not only will I let you learn to read, but I will also do a test later, what is it like to learn! Every army has its own characteristics, so that literacy in the army is the same as in our army. Features! No matter what you think, you have to study obediently!"
