Time flies so fast, and the ground in Panyuan is already covered with hoarfrost, and it is freezing cold.
Overwintering wheat has been planted long ago, and even green wheat seedlings have grown.
Livestock were prepared for the winter and hay was piled high.
The caravan came once, stayed for two days and then left. Everything seemed normal.
Shao Xun's life was very monotonous.
Work, train, and—
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is ancient. After teaching for so long, I still can't remember, so I'll give myself a whip." Shao Xun looked at the words written by a certain boy on the ground and said with a straight face.
The young man squatting on the ground stood up dejectedly and came to the door.
Outside the gate, Chief Huang Biao sneered, and the boy took off his pants consciously - full-crotch pants, with thinner legs and sewn together at the crotch. They were introduced by the barbarians from the grassland. Before that, the two legs of the pants worn by the Han people were Separate, the crotch is not sewn, that is, there are only trouser legs, without crotch or waistband. It mainly serves to keep the legs warm. However, Hu people need to ride horses, so it is very uncomfortable not to wear closed crotch trousers or full crotch trousers.
"Crack!" The whip was swung down hard, and a clear bloodstain emerged.
After the beating, the boy tidied up his clothes and came back again, asking Zuo Pao Ze how to write the words.
Shao Xun continued to check the homework of other teenagers.
If you encounter someone who is unqualified and doesn't say anything, you will be whipped directly.
Although the teenagers are young and ignorant, they are not stupid. They all know how valuable literacy is and how costly it is.
In fact, many people are willing to pay the price, but they have no way to learn.
The team leader is willing to teach them how to read and does his best, which is a great thing. Therefore, even though learning is very difficult, no one complains.
Even if there are those who really don't want to learn, after seeing others eager to learn, they will wonder if they are going too far and be forced to study hard.
It took Shao Xun a long time to read all the students' "homework" and then summarized it, praising a few people and criticizing a few people, with rewards and punishments for each - mainly regarding food.
After summarizing, continue teaching: "Consecrate the people and punish crimes, and Zhou will make Yin Tang."
He wrote these words on the whiteboard with charcoal, and then asked the students to identify them carefully and recite them all.
"The people are punished and crimes are committed, Zhou Fa Yin Tang..."
The sound was not very uniform at first, but after repeated many times, it gradually became uniform.
Shao Xun patiently read it over and over again, feeling calm and calm.
He didn't know how long this peaceful day would last, but as long as he was there, he would be responsible for these children.
Besides, he also has some thoughts of his own.
The leader of the team is temporary, but the teacher is lifelong - during the Three Kingdoms period, some soldiers died in battle and had no heirs. Cao Cao ordered children to be collected from relatives of the soldiers who died in the war to adopt, and they were given land and fields, officials were given cattle for farming, and they were given teachers to teach them. Since then, the title "student" has gradually become popular, alongside titles such as "teacher", "master", "teacher" and "master".
The Jin dynasty won the country unfairly and had no shame in mentioning "loyalty", so it paid great attention to filial piety and respecting teachers. It has been promoted for decades and has achieved remarkable results in this aspect - which always makes people feel weird.
There is no doubt that a teacher is much more important than a team leader or a building leader.
Shao Xun once thought about why the Hu people were able to establish political power in the north after the Western Jin Dynasty moved to the south.
He thought about a lot of reasons and found that the most important one was that the barbarians had "their own people" to use.
Establishing political power requires a large number of local officials. Hu chiefs have tribes as their base. Once the population base increases, some talents will always come out to help the chiefs manage the place roughly, arrest thieves, collect money and food, recruit Latins into the army, etc. , can be done.
It is true that people from tribes may not be good enough, but with tribes as their basic base, Hu chieftains can bargain with Han aristocratic families. With bargaining power, they can eventually transfer some of their interests in exchange for wealthy aristocratic families and local wealthy fortress owners. cooperate. At this point, an unstable country was initially established.
What should we do if we don’t have a tribe’s basic base, or if the tribe’s overall cultural level is low and we really can’t find that many talents?
This is more troublesome. It may be necessary to give up the entire grassroots level to aristocratic families and local tycoons.
Of course, such tribes generally cannot establish political power.
Not any tribe can gain a long-term foothold in the chaotic north. The threshold is real. Otherwise, wouldn’t the peasant rebel army be able to establish a country and claim power?
Shao Xun knew that the conditions for establishing a foothold in the north were far more than these, but it was always right to cultivate more of his own people.
If he has time, energy and enthusiasm, he should do more things. Even if the army is dispersed in the future and he is transferred elsewhere, he will still be able to forge some lasting friendship. At the worst, it also gives these young people an extra skill, isn't it beautiful?
You have to farm...
Yes, someone has to do some things.
What he did was much better than the nobles taking Five Stone Powder. At this point, he has plenty of moral superiority.

The first heavy snow fell one after another, and the capital was already at war with each other.
Some people were either discouraged or frightened and quietly left Luoyang, a place of right and wrong. But the vast majority of officials and ministers did not leave. After all, the situation in the world had not collapsed to an extent that could not be restored.
The simplest manifestation is that the emperor still has some dignity, water transportation is not interrupted, the appointment and dismissal of local officials are still effective, and the army can still be mobilized.
In Pan Yuan, everything was business as usual, and there didn't seem to be any waves.
At this time, on the school grounds, drums were rumbling and shouts were heard.
"March with the drum, stop with the hammer, don't you understand?" Shao Xun took a whip and beat the young men who did not respect the orders one by one.
The young people were blushing and ashamed.
Some colleagues winked and looked like they were mocking. Shao Xun also whipped them several times, and then they calmed down.
Looking down from the air, the fifty people were divided into three parts.
Thirty people gathered in the middle, holding spears and standing still.
Ten people are in the upper right corner and ten people are in the lower left corner.
This formation suddenly appeared in his mind, and it was very familiar, as if it had been used countless times in his previous life.
He somehow knew that the Yanyue Formation was both offensive and defensive. Its essence was to use the thick central army to resist the enemy's front, and then rely on the rotating crescent (upper right corner part) to flank the enemy. It was a very classic military formation.
He didn't know when the Yanyue Formation appeared in history, but it was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. This formation is both offensive and defensive, and has always been a favorite of government officials. It has appeared many times in important battles.
Therefore, he chose this formation to train his soldiers, and he was very attentive to it - a team of fifty people might not need any military formation, but he was training these young men as officers' seeds, so the requirements were naturally different.
There are also two other teams practicing on the school field.
What they practiced was relatively simple: just queues.
At this time, the "Eight Formations" were popular among the Jin army.
The so-called "eight formations" are actually a variant of the square formation, that is, each formation is located in all directions, "scattered into eight, and then reunited into one."
The center is slightly empty, where the general is located. Here, there is usually a group of the most elite soldiers and horses, called "Yu Qi", which is actually a reserve team to plug leaks at critical moments, or to resolutely invest in the enemy and make the final decision when the enemy is exhausted.
Compared with the Eighth Formation, the Yanyue Formation is more complicated and has higher requirements.
Shao Xun felt indifferent to this.
He remembered one incident in later generations.
A dance teacher led a group of children to rehearse a dance. There were many people, some dancing and some playing musical instruments. It was very complicated and required high coordination.
During the final performance, the adults were shocked when they saw the performance of a group of children, because in terms of complexity, it would take adults a long time to practice to reach this level of performance.
The leading teacher only said one thing: "Never tell the children how difficult this is."
Yeah, don’t tell them how hard it is!
If you don't practice well, it's your own fault. You're too stupid. Give me some snacks and practice hard.
At present, it is only a scene of fifty people. If there are five hundred or five thousand people practicing together in the future, the difficulty will increase exponentially. At that time, you will continue to find your own problems and continue to practice hard.
Of course, this is easier said than done. To achieve the goal, it always requires a lot of tedious and meticulous work, as well as perseverance and determination.
The most important thing is that you need someone to appreciate you, someone to protect you and give you a stable space to perform.
"Complete the team and try again." Shao Xun ordered loudly after completing a circle.
"Dong dong dong..." The rumble of war drums sounded again.
"Kill!" Fifty teenagers shouted in unison with immature voices, then struck the ground with their spear poles, and the queue began to move.
Shao Xun watched the marching queue intently.
He knows very well that in this era, peace is an accident and war is the mainstream. Any period of peace is very precious and must be grasped firmly.
Especially this kind of opportunity where someone provides "food and accommodation" and provides training venues, equipment, consumables, food and other necessities. It would be a pity not to make full use of it.
His ambitions were not limited to the fifty young men in front of him. In fact, he asked for many things.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, little by little.
