My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 287 Censor Cang (please give me a monthly ticket!)

But soon, some people began to raise doubts.

One is that these temporarily recruited swordsmen and pens are not qualified at all and are simply not competent. They didn't know much about literacy, and Meng Tian was very angry when he saw the words they wrote, and accused these people of just making up the numbers. Meng Tian beat them with twenty military sticks. From then on, no one in the military camp took the initiative to try again.

Second, in the territory of old Korea, Koreans from the past were recruited to write letters to them, and they also had to eat and live with the soldiers. Some soldiers felt that it was unsafe to do so.

Thirdly, once this method was introduced into the military camp, almost all the soldiers were excited. They were looking forward to writing letters all day long. As soon as the specialized swordsman and penman arrived, the generals and officers in the army rushed to get people to write letters to them.

So there were all kinds of farce involving bribery, trampling, fighting, and robbing people.

A large pot was placed on the stove in the military camp, and the soup in the pot was boiling.

The soldiers were also fighting on the sand.

They all...want to write letters home too much.

In the past, writing letters was expensive. You either had to pay for it or you had to pay for it. Historically, as long as there is demand, there must be business.

Second, after being away for a long time, you have a lot to say. If you talk more, people will engrave more words on the slips and charge more money.

Third, the number of people who need to write letters is almost a hundred or a thousand times more than the number of people who can write letters.

If you want someone to write a letter home, you basically have to ask your grandfather and grandma, and you have to go through many requests to achieve your wish.

As for the lack of financial resources and lack of understanding of the world, it is even more difficult to get opportunities.

So for some people, once they leave home, they are doomed.

People who were not from the Warring States Period did not take life and death seriously. It's because human life is so fragile in this era.

As for whether there will be any accidents on the way to the letter, whether it will be sent to my hometown, or whether the letter will not be sent due to other reasons on the way.

Anyway, writing letters and communicating with family members has always been very difficult for soldiers fighting on the border.

Therefore, every time someone applied to go to the captain's tent to test their writing skills, everyone's eyes were bright, but when they were kicked out, they were very disappointed.

A month has passed. In the military camp, the generals have been tossing and turning over this matter, but the result is that the soldiers are happy in vain.

Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching.

These people had no choice but to come to Meng Tian and Li Xin.

As soon as Ren Xiao entered the tent, he cursed loudly, "Xinzheng is a poor place! After struggling for a long time, I can't even find a useful scholar. The words written are not as good as the ones I drew with my feet. Generals, you two What can I do about this?"

Li Xin was so idle that he was in a panic. The only thing the prince told him to do was not what he was good at, and he was feeling angry.

His eyes widened, "This is not easy. Find someone who can write and teach them specifically. Whoever learns quickly and learns more will be left as a swordsman and penman."

What he said with a snap of his head caused everyone to turn their attention to Li Xin.

Ren Xiao was overjoyed, fist pumping and laughing, "Oh! This is a good idea!"

Everyone's eyes widened, as if they had found a treasure one by one.

Meng Tian originally wanted to ask the king to select some scholars from Xianyang, but when he saw that all the generals applauded Li Xin's method, he held back.

"But who will be sent to teach these swordsmen and pen officials? And how to choose people. These are all problems." A young general said.

He is Zhao Tuo.

Meng Tian's calm eyes fell on this heroic-looking captain.

Meng Tian said to the generals, "You must learn to read and write young people. Choose from the latest batch of people who have entered the camp and be recommended by the generals. Try to choose young and smart people. If you are slow to learn to write, there is no need to come. ”

Ren Xiao asked again, "Then who will teach me?" Meng Tian looked gloomy, and he really didn't have any good candidates at the moment. "To teach soldiers how to read and write, they must be knowledgeable and well-known, otherwise the soldiers will not be willing to obey. Even if they can't do these two, they must be the most literate people."

Li Xin squeezed Jiu Jue and said, "I do have a candidate. It's just that asking this person to teach the army sergeants how to read is by no means an easy matter."

Meng Tian looked at Li Xin, "Is the person General Li is referring to the one in the city?"

Li Xin also smiled, "It's rare that General Meng and I want to go together."

Ren Xiao smiled and said, "The two generals are playing riddles. Who is this person? I, Ren Xiao, will personally send troops to invite him."

Li Xin put away his lazy smile and said, "We also sent troops to invite him. The person we are talking about is the censor Cang who is beside the prince. He is Xunqing's apprentice and has been serving as Shangzhuguo in Xianyang Palace. He has always been on good terms with the prince. , this time I am following the prince out of the palace."

"If you can really ask him to come forward and teach the soldiers in the army, not to mention the swordsmen and pen officials, even a few soldiers can be directly taught by him."

When all the generals heard this, they all said, "Yu Shi Cang, I have heard of this man. He is well-read and has a photographic memory. Even Tingwei once praised him."

"If this person comes to the military camp and teaches the soldiers personally, then even the stupidest people should learn it."

Everyone was talking to each other, but Meng Tian suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that the prince wants to...

Li Xin said, "This military camp has always been the domain of our generals. Please invite the censor to the military camp. I'm afraid that the censor will not be used to this kind of life. Besides, I have heard that the prince loves Zhang Cang and calls him day and night to ask for advice." .Is the prince willing to send this person to the military camp?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Ren Xiao.

Ren Xiao felt something was wrong, and he panicked, "You guys are all looking at what I'm doing?"

"It's your responsibility to plead for mercy. We are all waiting for your good news."

Li Xin smiled.

All the generals were also watching the show and started shouting, "Did you hear that? The right general gave the order personally, so why don't you go quickly?"

Ren Xiao hesitated and looked at Li Xin's expression again and again. Li Xin didn't care at all and happily sent the prince away. He, Li Xin, would be the only one left on the battlefield of Chu State.

These days, Li Xinke has figured out all these things.

The prince is here, no matter what they do, the first success belongs to the prince. If the prince is gone, then only he, the right general, will be in charge.

Li Xin concealed his feelings.

"The prince is concerned about the officers and soldiers in the army and does not want them to suffer from homesickness. Now the army officers and soldiers are also waiting for it. If you don't go, I will be sorry for the prince and I will be sorry for the common people."

After what Li Xin said, Ren Xiao no longer had the shame to shirk, and hurriedly rode to Xinzheng City.

Fusu was sitting indoors, copying the "De Dao Jing", when suddenly Guan Fu came to report.

"Prince, Captain Ren Xiao wants to see you."

"pass."

Ren Xiao walked with a long stride, but for some reason, when he thought of opening his mouth to ask for someone from the prince, he walked smoothly.

As soon as he entered the door, his walking posture made the maid who was changing clothes sitting by the door laugh.

"The general will pay homage to the prince at last."

"what happened?"

"Prince, I came to see the prince because General Li said that nowadays, the most literate person in the entire Xinzheng City is the censor next to the prince."
