"ah……"
After finishing sharpening the strange sword, Du Chengfeng could not recover for a long time.
Speaking of Ruan Shantao, his impression of this old man was that he was strong, and extremely strong. If he had any shortcomings, it would be that this old man was too talkative, old-fashioned, and liked to preach. He could spray for half an hour - but it wasn't until he finished sharpening this strange sword that Du Chengfeng realized that this old troll who liked to preach had such a legendary experience.
"Why……"
Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng sighed, and finally hung the polished strange sword in his hand back on the wall.
Indeed, this square sword is the best weapon in Yanzhou's arsenal, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a magic weapon. But since Ruan Shantao, the old man, put down this sword for the sake of the peace of the state, he Bian was too embarrassed to just take it away.
Although judging from his own actual experience in Yanzhou, at least Yanzhou City is not that peaceful at night, but at least Yanzhou City during the day can still maintain normal order.
Being so close to the Jibei border, but not even seeing anyone with a knife on the street, it is enough to show that there is something to be said for the teachings of the old man Ruan. Of course, the old man Ruan also obviously knows that in this close proximity In a land with strong folk customs on the frontier, it is somewhat too idealistic to completely let people live in peace and be kind to others, but it is obvious that this old man has done everything he can.
Du Chengfeng had wondered before, why the gap in folk customs between Yanzhou and Jizhou was so big even though the distance was not that far.
It turns out that this root is here.
"Thank you for your hard work, then you can continue to stay here."
Du Chengfeng raised his hands to the weapons on the wall and stood up to leave.
Before, he had felt that Yanzhou City was full of troubles, as if he was sitting on a powder keg that could explode at any time. Whether it was the rotten weapons in the arsenal, or monsters in the city, or his own personal experience, Those murderous maniacs hiding in the night, if any one of them is brought out alone, Yanzhou will not be able to get better, and with all these things blocked together, Yanzhou looks like it is about to be over.
But now, he knew that these things that shocked him were, in the final analysis, nothing more than trivial matters.
As long as this square sword is still hanging here, there will be no trouble in the arsenal. As long as Old Man Ruan is still in charge of Ziyang Mountain, there will be no trouble in Yanzhou. Although there are definitely some trivial matters in the details, generally speaking, this Yanzhou is actually pretty good?
And compared with the desolate Jibei, Yanzhou is rich in products and has many fertile fields.
It can be said to be the first choice place for living and living.
"The decision is yours!"
Du Chengfeng immediately made up his mind and decided to live in Yanzhou permanently.
Thinking about it carefully, his life in Yanzhou is not bad. He has a stable job, an assigned house, and further education courses. As for work, to put it bluntly, it is just to replace the weapons in the wine vat with wine. The advanced training course was taught by a famous person in the world, even Old Man Ruan, who once served as Situ.
Although in Du Chengfeng's opinion, this course is most likely just the simplest literacy course, no one can say that this is not a class.
"Looking back, we can ask the folks from Yangjiabao to go into the mountains and learn from us."
Yes, this is indeed feasible. At least most of the young children have reached the age where they should be literate. If they count on Yangjiabao’s education level, they will teach a few more Yang Sanlangs. It's better to give it to Old Ruan, so that he can at least look like a normal person.
In fact, with Old Ruan's reputation, I'm afraid many adults are willing to put in some effort to become literate.
As for Old Man Ruan, after Du Chengfeng sharpened the square sword, he already knew that the old man was a man of educated nature. As long as he was willing to learn how to read, he could go up the mountain. This was for the folks of Yangjiabao. For us, this is the best thing. After all, compared with the literacy rate in Yanzhou, the level of folk culture on the Jibei border can only be described as a tragedy.
"How can you be illiterate?"
Du Chengfeng shook his head repeatedly. As a Taiping man, he couldn't bear to see this.
In Du Chengfeng's view, as a normal person, the worst thing to do is to at least know the most basic daily words, be able to make sentences smoothly, and master the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. If you can't even do this and only know how to slash with a knife, what's the difference between you and a monkey?
With this in his mind, Du Chengfeng rode out of the city. On the one hand, he wanted to tell the villagers about this and tell them that there was no need to run away. On the other hand, I also invited Carpenter Li over to have a drink after a long time and celebrate the housewarming together.
After hearing Du Chengfeng's proposal, the villagers naturally supported it.
"I knew you were capable of great things, strong man!"
For a time, the praises of the villagers were endless, and even Du Chengfeng's face became a little worried - but it is no wonder that for these Yangjiapu villagers, their children can be helped by a Situ to help them educate themselves. Even if it's just a former Situ, this is a huge event.
Their children had to go to school, and as parents, they naturally couldn't leave. So after some discussion, each family planned to buy land and property in Yanzhou and take root here. As for the issue of location and money, it is all the matter of old man Yang Xuanyang.
As for Li Carpenter, he followed Du Chengfeng back to the city. The two cooked some snacks and got drunk in the mansion.
Even Du Chengfeng himself became unconscious due to drinking too much.
It's been a long time, it's been a long time, it's the first time since he came to this world that he can relax his tense nerves.
Therefore, it is normal for the wine table with only two people to have three people after waking up from the alcohol.
"Where did you come from?"
Du Chengfeng's face turned dark as he kicked Liu Bolun, who was drunk on the ground.
"This is my house, right? Where did you get in? Get out."
"Hey! You can't say that. Before you came, this was my home."
When the drunk Liu Bolun opened his mouth, he found that Du Chengfeng had already clenched his fists. He quickly shrank his neck and stood up.
"No, I mean, what you are drinking is my moonshine, how can you not call me?"
"What are you being asked to do? Are you being asked to go back to the official office to work?"
After looking at the remaining wine in the cup, Du Chengfeng did not punch Liu Bolun in the face.
Someone came into the house out of nowhere, which was a bit scary. In addition, he was very drunk just now. If the person who got in was not Liu Bolun but some gangster, he and Carpenter Li were afraid that they would both be killed at this moment. Cut off the head - thanks to the fact that he used wine to coax the sparrowhawk, who would have thought that he himself would lose his guard at some point.
You should eat less alcohol and know more about things, and you should drink less alcohol, otherwise big trouble will easily happen.
"But how dare you sneak in? Do you know that no one will work after you sign and resign? If you were caught by someone from the government office, would you still be able to get out of Yanzhou City?"
"Hey, I just came here to have a drink... Oh, by the way, I do have something serious to do."
Halfway through his words, Liu Bolun slapped his head.
"The mountain leader is afraid that you will run away, so he asked me to come over and remind you to remember to go to the mountain to listen to the class, otherwise I won't be the one who comes here next time."
"Ah this..."
Du Chengfeng was speechless for a long time.
He just didn't expect that even though he already had a serious job, he would dream back to his student days and be arrested by his teacher.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, and getting rid of the smell of alcohol, Du Chengfeng got on his horse and rushed all the way to Ziyang Mountain.
Outside the mountain gate, the two gatekeepers were still guarding the gate, but this time Du Chengfeng was experienced.
Before he even got close to the mountain gate, Du Chengfeng had already collected the seal ribbon and money bag, and got off his horse. When the two doormen reached out for money, Du Chengfeng remembered what Liu Bolun had taught him before leaving, so he simply used his hands. A spread.
"I'm a student and have no money."
"……Um?"
The two gatekeepers looked at each other and then let them through.
The two gatekeepers who work together are just like the old man Ruan, who only try to trick rich people.
"Oh, right."
As if he remembered something, Du Chengfeng, who had just walked into the mountain gate, turned around.
"I'm a student, I have no money, and I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Forget it, at this hour, there shouldn't be much food left in the cafeteria."
One of the gatekeepers thought about it, took out a bag of buns from his arms, took two and handed them over.
"First take the pad to cushion your stomach, and we'll talk about the rest later in the evening."
"Thank you both."
After taking the two steamed buns, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but admire them secretly.
Liu Bolun, the co-author, actually has some moments when he is reliable, and he can actually eat early by using this method.
But just when Du Chengfeng had just bitten into a bun, someone else approached the two doormen.
"I'm also a student, and I don't have any money either."
"hehe."
Looking at the middle-aged man in a wide robe and long sleeves outside the mountain gate, the two doormen just laughed.
"You are still a student at your age, do you think we are blind?"
"This...well, I'm actually here to communicate."
Seeing that he was unable to frighten the two gatekeepers, the middle-aged man had no choice but to take out his wallet.
Then, he came to Du Chengfeng's side.
"It's true that I'm not a student, but I haven't had breakfast either. I wonder if you can give me one of the buns in your hand?"
"Ha ha."
After looking at each other at the two doormen, Du Chengfeng was also happy.
"I'm such a student."
"I know you are a student...well, I won't eat your bag for nothing."
The middle-aged man was stunned, shook his head and laughed.
"As long as you are willing to give me one of your buns, I will tell you a secret."
"secret?"
Du Chengfeng no longer wanted to continue chatting. What annoyed him the most was this kind of riddler who half-talked.
But just when Du Chengfeng was about to lead the horse away, the middle-aged man raised his finger and pointed at the saddle bag on the horse's back.
"There is a dead weapon in your bag, right?"
The middle-aged man showed a warm smile.
"The secret I'm going to tell you can make this weapon come alive again."
