Three Kingdoms: Sir, you love learning too much!

Chapter 7 Why don't you ask me what I want?
"Don't learn it. Those who are really skilled in wrought iron are all learned from their families and passed down from generation to generation. Otherwise, what would they eat?"

Cao Cao preached in a deep voice, and for some reason, there was an urgent idea in his heart to let him give up the idea of ​​learning forging iron.

"Where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you are willing to learn, it is always a good thing to know more. If I can understand a little bit about what to do, I can enrich my common sense, and it will be of great benefit to my future words and deeds."

Guo Yi could only explain it in this way.

After all, most people would not understand what he really gained.

For example, now, after forging iron for a period of time, the proficiency of forging iron skills is rapidly improving, and both arm strength and physical strength are increasing.

At the same time, the mastery of forging iron and precision forging swords is increasing, just like those masters of casting, although they can't write any experience, they just know what kind of iron can be produced to what extent.

When to cool down and not fry, know what kind of raw ore can burn good concentrate.

There are no orthodox book records for this kind of skill, only hands-on skills.

Even if the books Guo Yi reads are only "Miscellaneous Theory" and "Experience", these are not teaching books, but just record thoughts and experiences.

That's it, and it's expensive.

Because the seller sells it as a skill to teach people how to survive, and there is a reason why it is expensive.

"Tsk, Meng Yu."

Cao Cao was too lazy to continue talking with him, and planned to persuade him later.

After calling out, he turned sideways to Bao Xin and said in a deep voice, "This is Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei. I have sent someone to inform you before. Because of your advice, Prime Minister Bao's life was saved. This time the war has been decided. Jinbei, Jinan, Rencheng and other places are all rebuilding. After he has made arrangements, I would like to thank you for coming to Juancheng with me."

"No need," Guo Yi turned slightly to Bao Xin, bowed slightly and cupped his fists, showing a modest smile: "This is a matter of duty."

"And making meritorious deeds is the way to gain merit. When I enter the camp to make a living, I naturally want to be useful, so that I can gain more fame and money."

In short, it's good to be rescued. Bao Xin is Cao Cao's benefactor and righteous friend. He got up early to follow He Jin in Luoyang, and his prestige and status are very high.

When Dong thief marched, he could directly pull up a 2-strong army and become a prince outside, which shows his reputation.

Moreover, Mr. Cao is also very open and upright, and he spread my merits, and expressed his gratitude to Bao Xin, and since he has forgotten this life-saving grace.

In the future, not to mention the prosperity and wealth, there are also individual places to go. There is no limit to learning, keeping yourself safe and sound, learning more and gaining is the best policy.

And to be safe, the more ways to protect yourself, the better.

"Hahaha!" Bao Xin laughed loudly after being dazed for a moment, and he had a little more affection for Guo Yi.

This person is real.

To put it bluntly, what he wants is money and reputation.

He is upright and frank, he does not embellish himself with falsehoods, he does not even know how to be polite, this is a pragmatic person.

No wonder he was willing to come to learn the blacksmith's skill himself. I'm afraid he really wanted to know how to forge iron to save money in the army.

Such a nice person.

"Meng De, he saved my life, can you give me his, I want to invite him to Jibei to be the governor of the county, how about it?"

Cao Cao snorted and refused immediately, "That's not acceptable, Meng Yu is a meritorious service in our army."

"If it is counted by official position, you are all under my command."

"Yuncheng, I'll bring you to see Guo Mengyu, you can't take away my love."

Bao Xin knew that Cao Cao would not agree, but shook his head with a bitter face, and said with a smile: "You, now you gradually want to occupy everything."

However, given the relationship between the two who have experienced life and death many times, they will not be angry because of this, and they have not made any guesses.

After all, Bao Xin's brother Bao Tao, his friend Wei Zi, etc., all died in the battle to save Cao Cao.

Later, Bao Xin tried his best to recommend him as the pastor of Yanzhou. This friendship has already surpassed that of friends.

"Okay, but I still want to thank Meng Yu. In this way, in addition to rewarding his house, I will also gift the classics, the volume written by the great Confucianism."

"Those, no need."

After Guo Yi's expression moved slightly, he refused very flatly.

Confucian classics, the rewards are mediocre, especially the writings of great Confucians, which are not illegal. Even if the research is extremely deep, Guo Yi will only move closer to the great Confucians.

Is it possible that after becoming famous, you will live in seclusion and write?
Yes, but not necessary.

"What? You don't want these?"

"You know, the knowledge of governing the world is all in these classic books! Do you still plan to continue learning blacksmithing?"

Cao Cao actually suspected that Guo Yi just had no books to read. Otherwise, how could a person who has the desire to make a name for himself and govern the country safe for the people be so bored as to learn how to blacksmith?

Isn't this just wanting to go to school without books, only miscellaneous learning to get by.

Scholars from poor families usually face such embarrassment, because the classics that are actually produced are all spread at the gentry level and will not be given to poor families.

Unexpectedly, Guo Yi really nodded, "My lord, I have studied this technique quite deeply, and I will soon master it."

"You don't need the Confucian classics, so give me money instead."

"You!" Cao Cao frowned, his scalp tingling!

Isn't this a bit stupid to be persistent?
"Do you like money that much?!"

"Afraid of being poor..." Guo Yi noticed that Cao Cao's face was getting a little uneasy, he sighed secretly, and decided that it would be better to come down and talk about it.

If it doesn't work, I will sell it for money later.

Anyway, they are all the works of great Confucianists of the time, so it is very easy to exchange money with those scholars.

But the intermediate procedures are troublesome, and it is easy to be framed by others.

Forget it, try again, you can get something useful without money, which is better than Confucianism.

Guo Yi himself was persevering and of good quality. At this moment, his mind moved, and he cupped his hands and said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be money. Why don't you ask me if there is anything you want?"

"Oh?" Bao Xin and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled, but they had ignored this before.

You should really ask him if he has anything to desire.

"Meng Yu, tell me what you want."

"I can't say it directly, but I remember reading a story. There was a Le Yangzi in Hanoi who went out to study and returned after a year. His wife was shocked and asked why. Le Yangzi said he missed his wife so much. He went home to visit him, but he didn't go out."

Both Cao Cao and Bao Xin were taken aback. Of course they knew the story, but they still listened patiently.

"So his wife cut the silk cloth on the loom into pieces, said cocoon into butterflies to produce silk, silk thread into spinning, spinning thread to make cloth, and now it's a waste of a year after cutting it off. Studying should be like this, and the sea of ​​learning is far-reaching. How can one year miss home and worry twice?"

"Hahaha!"

Guo Yi almost amused both of them when he told this story. He was afraid of offending them by speaking out, but instead quoted scriptures and said it mildly.

The two met and laughed several times before Cao Cao said helplessly, "You are telling me in disguise that you want to continue learning the art of forging iron, right?"

"That's not it," Guo Yi clasped his fists with a serious face and said, "I mean, I also want to marry such a wise wife."

Cao Cao: "???"

Bao Xin: "???"

The smiles on the faces of the two froze for a moment.

what?
