It was just that when he turned to Yongqing Street, he couldn't help but stop and linger. There was a wasteland here, where some small merchants and hawkers were doing business on the ground. They had everything to eat and play, especially there were hawkers selling Australian movies. Recently, Australian films have been renovated very quickly. It used to take at least half a year for a new film to be released after it was released. Recently, there has been a new film every month. It was almost the end of the month again, and he couldn't help but check out if there were any new movies.
At first glance, there were still films like "Burning Zhongzuosuo", "The Test", "Lingao Scenery of a Month", "Three Treasures Eunuchs Went to the West", etc. There were no new films, so I couldn't help but lose interest. The vendors selling rice noodles and oil cakes on the side shouted enthusiastically, which made Zhang Yu's stomach growl. However, he touched a few coins in his sleeves, swallowed hard, lowered his head and hurried to the social school.
Because I lingered for a long time on the way, I was already late when I arrived at social studies. As expected, the teacher of my grade hadn't arrived yet, but "senior" Wu Dai led everyone to endorse. Senior Wu is the best to talk to, and they both like to study Kun, so they have a lot in common.
As for the husband, he is obsessed with the new star. This color only suddenly appeared in the past few months. But it suddenly became popular in Guangzhou. When it comes to gambling money, Guangzhou Prefecture has not only one thousand but also five hundred. There are many tricks among them, but none of them are as simple and easy as this lottery. One bet only costs a few dollars, and there are two lottery draws every ten days. It soon attracted a large number of citizens to participate.
He is just one of thousands of addicts. Once in class, a group of students were reading: "The Master said: When I was fifteen, I was determined to learn; when I was thirty, I stood upright; when I was forty, I was not confused; when I was fifty, I knew the destiny of heaven; when I was sixty, my ears were attuned..." The teacher suddenly shouted: "I got it"! Zhang Yu, who was distracted, was startled, and then the husband rushed out of the room, leaving a group of students staring at him. Later, I heard from the senior that he found the number in the book and won the third prize of five taels of silver. Since then, Mr. Zhang Yu's enthusiasm for gambling has become even higher. Last month, Zhang Yu actually saw him discussing hot numbers with a group of laborers in short shirts at the entrance of a lottery shop. He doesn't have the aloof demeanor in the classroom at all. Recently, when he came to social studies, he was just scratching the surface, just to deal with errands.
I memorized a few paragraphs of the book without thinking. The senior announced: "Sir, I want everyone to carefully read Chapter 13 of "Selected Works of the Times"."
A good student honestly takes out a book and studies it. Li Ziyu next to Zhang Yu winked and he tacitly promoted his friends Zeng Juan and Chen Shixin. The four of them packed their schoolbags and skipped school without any hesitation. Anyway, the seniors never cared.
After running out of the study, a group of friends chatted and laughed and enjoyed playing hooky. The owner of a bookstall on the street saw them and waved his hands: "Young masters, the latest Romance of the Three Kingdoms doll book has arrived."
Several people stopped immediately and caught up with the person in front of him to pick up a comic book. They found a stool in the crowd and started reading. I don't want to spend money to learn new things, I just put my head behind me to watch.
Although the books printed by Australians are all in popular Chinese characters. But once you’re used to it, you don’t have any problems, not to mention the exquisite painting. Even the grandmothers watched it with gusto. Of course, they watched it as a dramatic story, and they shed a few tears when they saw the painful scenes.
After a long time, a few people reluctantly put the comic strips back on the bookshelf, searched up and down again, and saw that there were no new books, so they paid and squeezed out. Don’t forget to shout: Remember to notify us when the new Three Kingdoms arrive.
"Master Guan is still awesome," friends who were immersed in the book started to discuss among themselves.
"Xuchang should be included in the next episode."
"Shit! I didn't watch the preview of the next episode. I'm just walking in the city."
"It was Maicheng who scared Cao Cao to death before leaving. My mother-in-law told me."
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise. The next episode will be out in ten days."
“This doll book will only come out in ten years, so I can’t wait.”
A few people chatted and laughed and walked to the Pearl River. There was a boat-shaped stone in front of me. It was the Haizhu Stone. It was one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng at that time and was called "Zhuhai Qinglan". There was Wenxi Temple built on the stone. There were a lot of people in the temple. They did not join in the fun and went to the riverside. "Secret base": As soon as I sat down under a big banyan tree by the embankment to learn new things, I couldn't wait to take out the Australian charcoal pencils from my schoolbag and started copying the comic strip I just read. The other three were already used to it. Zeng Juan suggested: "Let's play Three Kingdoms."
Li Ziyu took out his schoolbag and said, "Don't worry, my family bought a new game from Kunren yesterday."
Zhang Yu took a look and said: "Fufu of the Ming Dynasty? Is this a promotion plan for Kun Ren?"
"It's much more fun than the official promotion chart. I heard that it was handmade by Prince Mingma, the Eight-Character Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Kun people had better pay homage to this sage. It can bless the safety of the family."
Everyone listened to Li Ziyu's explanation and studied the instructions and quickly got started. The more they played, the more involved they became.
"You colluded with the eunuchs!"
"I want to defend myself"
"The chief minister's holy family is almost gone. Let's impeach him quickly."
After half an hour of playing cards, Li Ziyu successfully reached the top position of Jirenchen. The three of them were joking with each other while cleaning up. The topic soon turned to the Liao Dynasty. Thanks to Kunren Military Magazine, they no longer regarded the duel between generals as a war. content, the articles I read in the magazine turned into my own thoughts and rushed out of my mouth:
"We must form a spear formation."
“That’s right, just stab to the right and the Tatars will be helpless.
"Shaking the spear can break the arrow rain.
"Only the javelin can defeat the enemy!"
Zeng Juan was deeply touched and shook his head and said: "Even if the Tatars are good at fighting, one can equal ten, but there are only two hundred thousand people who can fight. We, the Ming Dynasty, have a large population. We must choose one out of a hundred, and carefully select two million spearmen. We will destroy Kun and massacre the Tatars." That’s it! It’s deplorable that all the officials in the court are nothing more than wine sacks and rice sacks, and all the princes in the court are punished. Liao affairs and Kun’s affairs are not enough to worry about.”
Zhang Yu sneered: "Two million? Where do you get that much money to recruit soldiers?"
I only came across the concept of spending money in war after reading Australian military magazines.
"Liaodong is a thousand miles of fertile land, and all the Liao people have been slaughtered. We can use elite soldiers as warriors to grant land certificates, and we can regain the land by restoring Liao. Do you dare to spare your life for all the soldiers?"
Before Zhang Yu opened his mouth, a whistle came from the river, and a Kunren steamboat pushed up the waves and went up the river. Several sailors with short hair and short clothes were busy on the deck. Although they have long been used to it, a sense of powerlessness still surges into everyone's heart.
Chixin also put down the charcoal and murmured: "Kunren's firearms are fierce, what can I do? What can I do?"
Li Ziyu sneered and said: "Although the Kun thief's firearms are powerful, I, the Ming Dynasty, also have a big killing weapon that has not yet been released."
Zhang Yu knew that Uncle Li Ziyu was a member of Guangzhou's avant-garde Qianhu, so he often boasted that he could read Ming Dynasty's "Military Bei Zhi", so he asked
"Is it the fire dragon coming out of the water you mentioned last time?"
"No, no," Li Ziyu waggled her fingers and imitated the text: "This thing is called a flying sand tube. Two rockets are tied upside down and tied together. If it hits the awning of an enemy ship, it can spray poisonous sand, which is specially designed to injure. Kun thieves eyes."
"That's not surprising."
"The most surprising thing is that after spraying the arsenic sand, another rocket can be fired backwards and fly back to the base camp. Although the Kun thieves have sharp firearms, they must have never seen them before, and they must be inexplicably frightened. Our officers and soldiers took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them. Kun is so easy!"
Everyone couldn't help but admire them, and Zeng Juan was even more excited: "Our Ming Dynasty is full of talented people. Although the Kun thieves are very cruel for a while, they will not be as strong as our Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Yu thought carefully: How many people can this artifact scare, and how many times can it bluff it? Why not cancel the rockets flying back and install more arsenopyrite gunpowder? But the Li Ziyu family acted as military attachés and could read books that they could not see. As they were the leaders in their small circle, it was better not to be questioned by the public.
Zeng Juan became furious: "My Ming Dynasty has this magical weapon but can't use it. It's precisely because these corrupt officials and thieves are colluding with each other. I heard that Ziminglou summoned the Guangzhou gentry to hold a feast of sea and sky and a group of orioles the day before yesterday. Lewd sounds and gossip spread outside the building."
"If you want to destroy your country, you must first destroy the morale of the people. How vicious are the thieves' intentions!"
"The thief Kun has no king or father, he is promiscuous by nature, and he is most accustomed to hooking up with shameless people!"
They scolded them vigorously, but Zixin, who had been silent all the time, said hesitantly: "Actually, I think the Kun people are not bad. They don't disturb the people, and they are trustworthy in their work. Even businessmen like to do business with them."
Li Ziyu sneered: "You say such good things about Kun Zei, why don't you shave your head?"
But Zhang Yu suddenly realized: "Could it be that you went to meet Kunren because of your new knowledge?"
These people became energetic and worked together to tell the truth. Ji Xin had to admit that he was really curious a few days ago and went to the construction site of the Great World by the riverside.
"That big world is really majestic," Chixin swallowed. "Although it's not finished yet, there are iron frames and glass everywhere. There are no dragons or phoenixes painted on them. It's quite shocking. And those steel machines are really... It makes people awe and fear..." He became excited when he saw it, and couldn't help but take out the drawing paper and charcoal and started to draw.
I was drawing vigorously when a voice came from beside me: "The perspective here is wrong."
When Ji Xin woke up and looked back, he saw a smiling Kun man. He was tall and straight, obviously a true Kun man. Ji Xin had seen Zhen Kun from a distance before, but this was the first time he was so close. He was a little scared but a little dissatisfied. He saw the unheard-of illustrations in Kun Ren's book, so he also bought charcoal and copied them. Although he didn't have a teacher and relied on his own talent, they were still 70-80% similar. Everyone who saw them was amazed, but now people are criticizing them for being wrong.
Na Zhenkun simply sat down next to him and talked to him about the principles of perspective and painting techniques for half an hour. He also took out Kunren's picture album. The lifelike oil paintings and sketches were eye-opening to him. Finally, he invited He went to Lingao and said that there was a place specializing in painting. After learning painting, he would still have a lot of work.
"You really want to go to Lingao, right?" Li Ziyu said seriously: "That's just a thief! Besides, you have no fame. No matter how good you are in painting, you are just a painter. How much money can you make?"
"I don't know." The newbie's eyes were full of confusion: "Actually, I really don't want to study, I don't want to take the scholar exam - I probably won't pass the exam, I just want to paint, and the thought of being able to draw such a painting is really... It’s worth dying.”
Thinking of their own future, everyone couldn't laugh anymore and fell into silence. (To be continued)
