History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 19 The Fields
The next day—

Yesterday, Hei Quan could not swallow his food, but today he seemed to be a different person. When Feng Yun prepared for the field trip, he had been waiting in the hospital for a long time.

"Yesterday, when I came back with the news of my brother's death, I thought about it again and again and decided not to break my promise and continue my study tour in the fields."

Feng Yun patted the black dog's head and comforted him: "It is useless to be lazy and sad. I have asked your mother to take the shells to the Military Service Palace. With the shells to open the way, your father's bones can be transported back next month. Let’s talk about the funeral later.”

"Now you should study calligraphy seriously... If you can learn it and gain something, I will teach you something personally... Think carefully about what you want to learn in the future. As long as I can teach it, I will definitely teach you."

It's not that Feng Yun is talking big, he has the Taoist talent, and he naturally has the confidence to teach Black Dog.

"I understand, uncle." Black Dog lost his usual liveliness and looked a little dull.

Feng Yun didn't say anything, just found a small car, loaded the corn cakes that his sister-in-law had made in the morning, and some books, and walked to the fields with the black dog.

Not long after, the two came to the city gate.

By this time the children were already waiting impatiently.

"Master Yun is here!"

"Fu Zian..."

There was a greeting, which made passers-by at the gate of the city look away. Feng Yun was wearing a curly robe, and it was clear at a glance that he was a nobleman.

Gentlemen?

Why are you hanging out with the common people?
eccentric!
When the armored soldiers guarding the city gate saw Feng Yun approaching with so many children following him, they hurriedly gathered the courage to stop him.

"Hold on, you want... Jun, where are you going?" The soldier said nervously, his face flushed.

Could it be that he was afraid that Feng Yun was a human trafficker, and he couldn't stop someone who looked like a nobleman.

The other children trembled when they saw the armored soldiers coming, and some subconsciously wanted to run away, but Feng Yun was there and they couldn't leave.

Seeing this, Feng Yun took out his rabbit talisman card. It was an official card, and the armor soldier recognized it at a glance.

"Come... sergeant." The armored soldier hurriedly bowed his hands in salute.

He didn't know how to read, but the patterns on the talisman plates of officials of all ranks were specially recorded after they joined the army.

"When I was sleeping, I was a master and taught some children. Now I go to the fields to give lectures." Feng Yun explained.

"Teaching in the field?" Soldier A raised his head with clasped hands, his face blank. He had seen the master sitting on a bamboo mat, looking down from a high platform, giving lectures to his disciples in a comfortable courtyard.

But Feng Yun is different.

And...he glanced at the children.

These disciples are all common people.

The soldiers on duty at this city gate remember clearly that these children were all born in the mud, how could they become the disciples of the sergeant.

"Nothing else," Feng Yun saw Jia Bing stunned, and then said: "It's getting late, we have to go out."

"Oh, please, Sergeant."

"Wait, Sergeant, I'll go with you."

A sergeant is an important official, and he, a small armored soldier, would not dare to offend him, and even have to protect him. Otherwise, if Feng Yun gets into trouble while out in the city, it will be his responsibility.

With that said, Soldier A waved to Soldier A who was resting in the distance, then said a few words and took the cart from Feng Yun under the envious eyes of the other party.

"Senior, let me push the cart. You are a gentleman, how can you do such a thing?"

Feng Yun was silent for a moment, but this was class, and he had no unique ideas.

"Let's go then."

When the other children saw that the armored soldier, who had always been a scourge to them, was so respectful to Feng Yun, they all followed Feng Yun in reverence and no longer dared to play before.

"Hei Quan, is your uncle so powerful? He's an armored soldier. My mother said that when you see an armored soldier, you should run away, otherwise you'll be stabbed in the head by their spears."

Hei Quan looked deeply at Feng Yun's back, and felt something in his heart unconsciously, his eyes twinkling with light.

"Uncle...how can I become a person like my uncle?"

He remembered Feng Yun's promise before, letting him choose one to learn... He was still ignorant before.

But at this moment, his chest was burning.

He wanted to be able to command those usually fierce armored soldiers like his uncle!In his world, only soldiers can go into battle to kill the enemy, and those who command the soldiers can make these soldiers kill anyone!
He wants to destroy the Yue Kingdom and avenge his father!
The heat in his eyes couldn't be hidden, but Hei Quan didn't say it immediately because he remembered clearly that his mother said he didn't have the ability, so he shouldn't open his mouth to speak.

If you want to learn from your uncle, you must first learn the calligraphy well and get his uncle's approval.

……

Outside the city of Da Ting Kingdom, there are fields. These fields are owned by the Lord of Da Ting Kingdom, but the Lord of the Kingdom will take part of them and entrust them to one of the ranks of the officials in the city, that is, Lu Tian.

The remaining part is either bought, sold or leased.

These Lu Tian will automatically return to the owner of Da Ting after Feng Yun dies or ceases to be a subject of Da Ting. Feng Yun's eldest son cannot inherit this part.

Of course, the land Feng Yun bought outside Lutian, as long as he did not treason, belonged to him completely, and he could fully inherit it to his descendants.

As for the higher-level doctors.

Officials are like low-ranking princes. If they serve well as ministers, they may have fiefdoms, and most of their land is in other counties and towns.

The cart's wheels rolled on the compacted dirt.

When the common people working in the surrounding fields saw it, they all came to see it.

"Isn't that your eldest son? Why are you following the soldier?"

"Ah, what is following the armored soldier? That is Master Yun. My eldest son has been handed over to Shu Xiu, and now he is Master Yun's disciple... Master Yun is a sergeant, an officer..."

"what……"

……

As they were whispering in the fields, Feng Yun had no expression on his face even if he was amazed, and just silently paid attention to the expressions of the children behind him.

Today, when he met these children at the city gate, his assessment of these children had already begun.

Everything you encounter is the content and answers of the assessment.

The fear of the soldiers in the past can test the bravery of the children. If they abandon the teacher and run away, it is okay not to teach such students.

Fortunately, the children were the most loyal and no one escaped.

But now it is time to test the core attitude and test the pride.

As expected, childhood is the easiest age to be satisfied.

Just a few words of praise from these people made the children's faces full of pride and a little elated.

"Just by the stream in front."

There are forests here, which are old trees that the monarch has forbidden to cut down. There is a stream under the forest, but this stream was transformed from an ancient water channel. Now that it is approaching autumn, it is a good place to go.

"No, Master."

As children become familiar with it, they most like to play by the stream. The water here is shallow, so parents don’t have to worry.

Come to the stream.

Feng Yun found a shade spot and sat down on the ground.

The armored soldier leaned the cart aside and stood silently.

Seeing this, the other children ignored the play and hurriedly followed Feng Yun to sit down.

"Today we are not learning words, but telling a story..."

"There was once a person..."

"Rust, rustle..." A sound came from the surrounding grass, and it turned out to be a child.

Feng Yun was not angry after being interrupted, but his child disciples became dissatisfied.

"You go further, Master is teaching. You have no teaching, how can you come to listen!" A child stood up and said goodbye.

The child was timid, his eyes were timid, and he hurriedly ran away.

Seeing this, the child came back as if he was taking credit and sat down again.

In such a situation, the armored soldier guarding Feng Yun was embarrassed.
