Han Du suddenly came to his senses and asked hesitantly: "You mean, you can learn how to read and write what they taught you in one month? This is simply impossible. Even if I wait another month, you can't It's impossible to teach them any results, it's just a month of wasted time here."
"Then let's take another gamble?" Fang Xiaoru narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Du.
Han Du was stunned for a moment. After he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he raised his head and smiled helplessly: "Okay, even if I know it is your trap, I will jump down. One month is one month, but after one month, no matter what the result is, , you have to follow me back to Daming."
"It's a deal." Fang Xiaoru immediately smiled and gave Han Du a high-five.
Han Du felt the pain in his palm and wondered where Fang Xiaoru got the confidence.
Since he had to teach and educate people, Fang Xiaoru started to get busy the next day.
Since Han Du felt that he could stay here for another month and Fang Xiaoru wanted to teach and educate people, Han Du took out his own secret book. I drew again all the things I had drawn to help my son learn to read quickly.
When he handed the things to Fang Xiaoru, he was overjoyed and even said he was more confident in making the chief's son literate.
After Han Du had some free time, Jiang Ming came to chat with Han Du.
Next to a fire, Jiang Ming used a branch to roll over the potatoes and sweet potatoes buried in the ashes. Ever since Han Du grilled and ate these two things alive, everyone no longer eats boiled food. Roasted and boiled, the taste is simply incomparable.
He put down the branch, clapped his hands and asked: "Master Hou, what happened to you up there that day? The general is down below, how come you saw Master Hou and Lord Fang kneeling and worshiping those statues?"
Han Du raised his head and glanced at Jiang Ming, then laughed slowly and said, "What? You want to know?"
"Well... the general is just a little curious. If you can't tell the general, then there is no need for the Marquis to embarrass you." Jiang Ming said with a flattering expression.
Han Du picked up the wooden stick on the ground and turned over the potatoes in the ashes. Looking at the dancing flames, he said: "It's not that I can't tell you, but you may not believe it if you hear it."
"The general may not believe it? Where do you start talking about this?" The curiosity in Jiang Ming's eyes became even stronger.
Han Du saw that he really wanted to know, so he came to talk to him.
Jiang Ming's eyes widened after hearing this, and his mouth opened in a circle that could fit an egg in. He has traveled all over the country and is considered a well-informed person, but he would never have thought that there are people who can have connections with China tens of thousands of miles away.
"Is what the Marquis said true? This is simply unbelievable? If we come from the sea, it will be a narrow escape. They don't even have a decent boat, how did they get here?"
"You ask me, who am I asking?" Han Du glared at Jiang Ming angrily, and then said hesitantly: "However, Fang Xiaoru said through the inscriptions on several pieces of jade and Gui that the ancestors worshiped by these people were all Yin and Shang Dynasties. Ancestors."
Jiang Ming became silent after hearing this. He still had some understanding of Fang Xiaoru's character. Moreover, scholars are all about being rigorous in their studies. I guess Fang Xiaoru's status would not make him joke about this matter.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming immediately lowered his voice, approached Han Du and asked, "Master Marquis? Are these people really relatives of our Ming Dynasty?"
"Okay, the word relative is a good choice." Han Du immediately smiled and pointed at Jiang Ming. After he finished, he patted his thigh and said, "Oh, don't tell me, there's something like a relative in this."
Jiang Ming didn't know why when he heard Han Du say this, he suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest. He turned around and glanced at the Yin Di'an people, and saw that they were completely naked, just like a group of uncivilized savages.
He muttered unconvincedly, "Who cares about having such relatives..."
Han Du glanced at Jiang Ming who looked unhappy, laughed twice and said, "Don't be unconvinced. I tell you that these people may really be your relatives."
Seeing that Jiang Ming was about to refute, Han Du stretched out his hand to suppress his words and continued: "Your family's surname Jiang is derived from the surname Ji. Shang and Zhou are not far away. Maybe there are actually relatives of yours."
Jiang Ming listened to Han Du's deliberately funny words and said helplessly: "If this is the case, there will be no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who is not their relative."
"Hahaha......"
In just one month, the chief's son actually knew some words.
Han Du didn't know whether he should say that Fang Xiaoru was a good teacher or that the chief's son was a quick learner.
But it should not be said that the chief's son is indeed gifted. In just one month, he was able to have some simple exchanges with Fang Xiaoru. He also asked Fang Xiaoru to give him a name, Zhai Yuan.
During this month, in addition to teaching Zhai Yuan, Fang Xiaoru also made rubbings of various characters on the high platform of the mound when he had free time. Prepare to take it back to Daming and study it clearly.
On this day, Fang Xiaoru taught Zhai Yuan simple daily sentences as usual. After such a month of teaching, although the communication between Zhai Yuan and Fang Xiaoru was still somewhat stumbling, they were able to express his meaning clearly.
Near the end, Zhai Yuan suddenly asked: "Mr."
"Huh?" Fang Xiaoru put down the paper in his hand and looked up at Zhai Yuan.
These papers are specially selected daily expressions based on Han Du's suggestions. Originally, according to Fang Xiaoru's intention, Zhai Yuan should be taught step by step according to individual characters, words, idioms and articles, just like enlightenment.
But Han Du said that he only needed to let Zhai Yuan know the characters and some commonly used words first, and then he could directly teach him daily language. This will allow him to speak Chinese and communicate with us in the shortest possible time. As for idioms and articles, they contain the subtle meanings of the sages and are too complicated to be understood by Zhai Yuanxue in a short while, and many of these things are not used in daily communication.
In the end, Fang Xiaoru had no choice but to nod his head and agreed with Han Du's statement. He no longer wanted to allow Zhai Yuan to learn Chinese according to the scholar's approach, but to allow him to communicate with him as quickly as possible.
Now it seems that the effect is not bad. Zhai Yuan has completely learned some basic daily expressions. Although his accent is a bit weird when speaking Chinese, there is still no big problem in communication.
Zhai Yuan felt great pressure when he looked at Fang Xiaoru. He hesitated before continuing to ask: "Sir, are you going back to Ming Dynasty?"
Fang Xiaoru looked dazed for a moment, then came back to his senses and sighed: "The fallen leaves have returned to their roots, how could they not want to go back?"
Zhai Yuan looked at Fang Xiaoru blankly, obviously not understanding what he meant.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoru quickly explained, "Wherever you are born, you will die there. Daming is the place where I was born and raised. I have been out for more than a year, so it's time to go back."
When he heard that Fang Xiaoru was really going back to Zhai Yuan, he immediately became anxious and asked quickly: "But there are still many things that you have not taught me. What should I do if you go back?"
If someone else had said this to Fang Xiaoru, Fang Xiaoru would definitely not bother to pay attention to such a rude person. However, he knew that due to Han Du's repeated emphasis on quick success, Zhai Yuan now spoke directly and without any roundabout movements.
What's more serious is that Zhai Yuan speaks in confusion, and the order is completely messed up. Fortunately, the advantage of Chinese is that its information carrying capacity is extremely powerful, and even if the order is out of order, it will not affect the understanding of the meaning.
"What do you want to say?" Fang Xiaoru asked directly.
Zhai Yuan said quickly: "The student wants to go with the husband. Not only can he continue to be taught by his side, but he can also see what Ming Dynasty looks like. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Fang Xiaoru's brows glanced slightly, and immediately relaxed the next moment. He looked at Zhai Yuan in confusion and asked, "Do you really think so?"
You must know that it is tens of thousands of miles away, and it is even unknown whether you can come back again. Therefore, although Fang Xiaoru was leaving, he did not ask Zhai Yuan to follow him to Daming. Because in Fang Xiaoru's opinion, it was inhumane to separate Zhai Yuan from his relatives. He didn't expect that Zhai Yuan would bring it up himself.
Zhai Yuan nodded and continued: "Didn't Sir say that my ancestors might be related to your ancestors? I also want to visit Daming."
Fang Xiaoru's heart moved, and she suddenly felt that it was a good thing for Zhai Yuan to go to Ming Dynasty. Now Fang Xiaoru is researching the exact relationship between the ancestors of these people and the ancestors of China. If Zhai Yuan can go to the Ming Dynasty, it will be a great help to Fang Xiaoru's research. In addition, Zhai Yuan learns Chinese very quickly and will definitely be able to read and write in a short time. At that time, Zhai Yuan will be able to help Shang Xiaoru.
Fang Xiaoru already had the idea of letting Zhai Yuan go to Ming Dynasty with him, but he still said: "In our customs in Ming Dynasty, what is important is that parents are not far away. We are tens of thousands of miles away from Ming Dynasty, let's not talk about you first Whether you can come back, even if you can come back, I don’t know how long it will take. I think if you want to go to Daming, you should discuss it with your parents. "
Zhai Yuan had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this, and said quickly: "I have already told my parents, and they have agreed. Can I go to Daming with my husband?"
In fact, the idea of going to Daming was not Zhai Yuan's own. It was his chief father who took the initiative to let him go. Although their tribe will not be short of food, it does not mean that there will be no disputes and that they will be stable from birth to death. There are also disputes between their tribes. Relying on the strong is their indispensable rule of survival.
Although the country of these people is called Ming Dynasty. It is said to be on the other side of the sea, tens of thousands of miles away. But judging from the power of these Ming people, it must be an unimaginably powerful country, and it may even be as powerful as the Sun God's country. It is a very rare thing for Zhai Yuan to have the opportunity to go. As for whether he can come back after being so far away from Zhai. Of course it would be good to come back, but even if he couldn't come back, he would still be more than just a son to Zhai Yuan.
Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Zhai Yuan had done this in advance, and nodded subconsciously. Since he had already made an agreement with his parents, he naturally had no reason to stop Zhai Yuan.
Fang Xiaoru found Han Du that day and told Han Du that Zhai Yuan wanted to go to Ming Dynasty.
Han Du was surprised, quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing."
"A good thing?" Fang Xiaoru asked with some confusion. Zhai Yuan going to Ming Dynasty is naturally a good thing for his own research, but what does this have to do with Han Du? Why did it turn out to be a good thing when it came to Han Du's mouth?
Could it be that Han Du had guessed what he was thinking and was giving himself face like this?
"Good thing!" Han Du nodded solemnly.
Han Du hadn't even thought about how to bring these Yin Di'an people into the Ming Dynasty. He didn't expect that Fang Xiaoru would give Han Du a surprise.
Just imagine if these Yin Di'an people started to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, and if their ancestors could be verified and connected with their Chinese ancestors. In the future, those who speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and even look like black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin will have the same cyan marks on their buttocks as the Ming people when they are born.
Who would disagree with saying that they are of Chinese blood? Who dares to object?
Feeling anxious in his heart, Han Du couldn't hold it in any longer. He quickly stood up, rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "If they want to go, let them go. Didn't you also teach others? Tell Zhai Yuan, Let him choose a few people who will learn Chinese with him and go with him. After all, he is the son of a tribal chief, so it is natural for him to have a few followers with him. "
Fang Xiaoru took a deep look at Han Du and guessed that he must have some hidden agenda in his mind. However, this matter also has many benefits for Fang Xiaoru. So, he pretended not to know anything and did not ask Han Du further. Nodding, he agreed to this matter.
After receiving the news that Fang Xiaoru had taken Zhai Yuan to the Ming Dynasty for some reason, the chief was very happy and even held a grand bonfire party to commemorate the generosity of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
After learning that gold was also valuable in the Ming Dynasty, the chief immediately took out all the gold in the wooden house and asked Zhai Yuan to take it away in order to prevent his son from suffering in the Ming Dynasty.
Before Zhai Yuan even boarded the warship of the Ming Dynasty, he became the richest man on the ship.
Han Du gave part of the armored steel knives carried by Shen Zhou and others to the chief, winning the chief's respect for Han Du.
It wasn't that Han Du refused to give them all away, but Fang Xiaoru reminded Han Du that he didn't know how long it would take before he could return to Ming Dynasty. Although the revolver is sharp, it relies heavily on bullets. And no matter how many bullets you have, there will always be a day when they are all used up. But steel swords and armors are different and can be used forever. At most, just cut it until it becomes dull and then sharpen it.
One of the big ships owned by Shen Zhou and others was destroyed by Han Du, and it was no longer worth repairing. The other five ships, after repairing the damaged areas, were taken away by Han Du.
Eight ships moved northward along the coastline. Han Du stood on the bow of the ship with a serious look.
Fang Xiaoru came over and asked as if unintentionally: "You brought those people back to the Ming Dynasty. Have you ever thought about what would happen without them?"
Han Du glanced sideways at Fang Xiaoru. Without asking, he knew that Fang Xiaoru was talking about Shen Zhou and those people.
"Why do you want to plead for them?"
Fang Xiaoru looked at Han Du intently and said nothing.
Han Du took a deep breath. He already knew Fang Xiaoru's answer. After thinking for a while, he said in deep thought: "I know that you can't bear to see them because most of them are old, weak, women and children, but there are some things that cannot be forgiven."
Almost all the best among Shen Zhou and others participated in robbing the Yin Di'an people for sacrifices, and were eliminated by Han Du outside the tribe's fence. Those left on the ship were all the family members of Shen Zhou and others.
Fang Xiaoru's face became confused, and she quickly asked: "Why? The emperor will avoid the old, weak, women and children when he asks for a crime, unless he kills the whole family. Why are you so persistent?"
Han Du took a deep look at Fang Xiaoru. He didn't know how bad what these people did was. Even if he explained it to Fang Xiaoru, he might not be able to understand it.
Han Du didn't want to talk about this issue anymore, so he said: "Then let the emperor make the decision. Whether they live or die, it is their fate, no one else can blame them."
Han Du had something he didn't tell Fang Xiaoru clearly. Han Du would also sympathize with women and children, but these people were definitely not included. In order to seize power, these people even hesitate to cause trouble in the world, causing the entire people of the world to be displaced and precarious. Although it is said that it was precisely because these people deliberately hid food that the world was in turmoil, and the Ming Dynasty had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and rise up to dominate the world. But merit is merit, and fault is fault. People all over the world died because of this. So, don’t these people have to be blamed?
Moreover, they were not at all polite to the people of Ming Dynasty. Privately printed treasure banknotes swept the world's wealth, causing the Ming Dynasty to have been founded for more than ten years. From the emperor down to the common people, they were as poor as dirt, and they only enriched themselves.
These people, women and children are indeed pitiful, but aren't the people of the world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty pitiful? Even now in the Ming Dynasty, there are still people who don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes to wear. Isn't it pitiful?
Although these women and children were not directly involved in these things, did they enjoy the wealth swept away from the Ming Dynasty?
Seeing Han Du's firm attitude, Fang Xiaoru sighed and said nothing more.
During the journey to Beihang, Zhai Yuan showed his unique importance. When you dock along the way, you can almost meet the local Yin Di'an people. Obviously these people are spread across the entire continent.
Not all Yin Di'an people are as friendly to outsiders as Zhai Yuan's tribe. After discovering Han Du and others, some Yin Di'an people wanted to attack them without even saying hello. He was even carelessly attacked by these Yin Di'an people and injured the navy officers.
Han Du's face was ashen as he looked at the navy soldier lying on the ground, his body stiff, his face pale and his lips black. This soldier was only in his twenties. He had followed Han Du tens of thousands of miles to get here, and he did not die in the strong wind and waves. Under the power of God, he actually fell here.
The soldier just wanted to find a place to relieve his urge to urinate after eating. As a result, he was nailed to the neck by a poisonous stinger that flew from nowhere. The stinger was extremely poisonous, but after only a short cup of tea, he foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground and died. Even the doctor accompanying the army was stunned. There was no time to save him.
Zhai Yuan pulled out the poisonous thorn from the soldier's neck, handed it to Han Du and said: "Master Hou, this is a tree that contains very powerful poison. It also exists in my tribe. Usually my tribe members I use this thing to hunt wild beasts.”
Han Du glanced at it and knew that this was probably the Poison Arrow Tree that he had only heard of but never seen in his ten lifetimes.
On the other hand, Fang Xiaoru took it from Zhai Yuan's hand and looked at it. An ordinary branch had a sharp wooden thorn tied to it, and there was a faint black blood on the wooden thorn.
"Is this thing very poisonous?"
Han Du saw that Fang Xiaoru didn't take this thing seriously, so he quickly replied: "It's true that the blood will seal the throat."
Fang Xiaoru was so frightened by Han Du's words that her hands trembled and she almost threw it away. "Sealing the throat at the sight of blood" is a word used by literati to describe the violence of poisons. In Fang Xiaoru's impression, almost none of the above poisons can truly seal the throat at the sight of blood. Even the famous arsenic, crane crown red, etc. cannot seal the throat at the sight of blood.
But now Han Du emphatically said that this thing could really seal the throat at the sight of blood, and Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but not be afraid. He looked at Han Du in disbelief and asked, "Is that what you meant?"
Han Du nodded calmly and pointed to the wooden thorn at the tip. He explained: "This is called Poison Arrow Wood. Even though it is so small, the sap contained in this tree is deadly poison to humans. Such a small amount can kill a person."
"This thing is so dangerous, so be careful and put it away." After Fang Xiaoru finished speaking, he handed the branch to the navy soldier behind him.
When the soldiers heard that even the Marquis said this thing was dangerous, they naturally did not dare to neglect it and carefully untied and removed the wooden thorns at the tip.
Han Du looked at the jungle in front of him with a dark expression. After the soldier fell down with a scream, the jungle in front of him has not moved at all. Obviously, the soldier is still lurking here and has not left.
Do you want to continue the sneak attack and eat all of yourself and others? Han Du sneered at the corner of his mouth, then let's see if you have such a big appetite.
Zhai Yuan said that someone in the Ming Dynasty Navy had died, and his face was not good either. These days, he speaks Chinese more and more fluently, and he mingles with the navy officers on the ship. Now that I see people dying here, I feel sad when natural things hurt their own kind.
However, he still forcibly cheered up and said to Han Du: "Master Marquis, those people should not have left yet. Let me go and communicate with them."
Han Du immediately waved his hand, stopped Zhai Yuan, and said with a sneer: "No, since they didn't even say hello, they just attacked us directly. Obviously, they didn't think about communicating with us. Not only will you not have the slightest intention to go up, Instead, it will put you in danger."
"Isn't it just killing people? I can do it too. Come here!"
"The general is here." Jiang Ming immediately knelt down beside Han Du.
