The third school!
The fourth school...
These generals were subject to spot checks more and more often, and naturally they were reprimanded more and more often by Guo An, making them feel more and more aggrieved.
At the same time, these generals also discovered something even worse.
The little ones at home have begun to feel a little disobedient to discipline?
A few days later, King Yan came to the school and started to scold a group of generals with a black face.
"We heard that these fathers, ever since your kids entered the school, have never been able to compare with your kids?"
"Tsk, tsk, you spend a lot of time studying in school, but these little brats like Bill and others at home have to spend a lot of time studying, and the result is now so unbearable. Could it be that you are really as stupid as pigs..."
Suddenly, the faces of all the generals in the entire academy began to get hot.
Let them scold them alone in front of Zhu Di for being as stupid as pigs, and they can feel at ease and smile playfully.
However, none of them could stand it when a group of them were scolded like this in front of their own cubs.
However, Zhu Di was scolding these words, and the generals did not dare to be dissatisfied at all, so they had to bear it obediently.
At the same time, they didn't notice that the group of brats around them, even the fat little Zhu Gaochi, had expressions of surprise at his words.
Carefully glancing at Zhu Di above, and then at the group of well-behaved Demon King generals below, they suddenly realized that in their minds, it seemed that His Highness Prince Yan, who had always been serious and kind, was the real Demon King of Beiping Mansion, and This group of fathers who usually act like demon kings in the school seem to be just a group of little demon generals.
"You are not convinced, then tell us why you are listening to the lecture with these little brats in your own family.
The little ones in your family can easily remember what the Master said, but you forget it as soon as you leave the gate, or forget it as soon as you sleep? "
"You are all generals with more than 100 households. Are you planning to ask us to find a literate messenger to dictate the orders to you in the future?"
"Or, when you follow us to the battlefield, you will just be a reckless man who only knows how to charge into battle. He can't set up military formations, write battle reports, read documents, and calculate the amount of food, grass and baggage..."
"We originally thought that although our Yanshan Guards were not the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, they were still an elite force that could protect Peiping and fight against the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty. But we never expected that our elite troops would The generals and commanders are actually inferior to their own little boys..."
"Is it possible that you always want those scholars to call you Qiu Ba and look down on you all the time?"
"We spent so much effort and money to build schools for you, and hired so many teachers, even Guo Changshi, to give lectures to you. All I ask is that you teach us some words. As long as you can write and understand documents by yourself, you are disappointing us..."
"Last month, His Majesty sent Duke Feng Sheng of the Song Dynasty as the general to conquer the captives. Together with the Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, Yongchang Hou Lanyu and others, he led the soldiers of the Beijing Guard to Peiping to meet with the Taoist soldiers to practice at the ditch.
You should all know, what does this mean? …”
The more he talked, the angrier Zhu Di looked, and the more depressing the atmosphere in the entire school became.
At this moment, Guo An, who had been standing aside, felt that the heat was almost over (he could no longer stand), so he quickly suggested to Zhu Di above.
"Your Highness, all the generals are very conscientious and attentive in reading, maybe it's just because they are really not good at it!"
Hearing this, all the generals wanted to stare.
You can't!
Guo An said again: "However, the generals have indeed failed His Highness's wishes and must be punished."
All the generals were angry again.
Zhu Di asked coldly: "How to punish?"
"Your Highness, all generals are generals of more than 100 households in the Yanshan Guard. Even if it is punishment, Your Highness should maintain the dignity of your 100 households among the soldiers of the Yanshan Guard."
After Guo An thought seriously for a while, he continued: "Your Highness, I think the punishment can be done in the school!"
"School?"
Zhu Di and all the generals were a little curious.
"Exactly!"
Guo An nodded slightly and said sincerely: "Just settle the school matters in the school."
"All generals, including the young men, the eldest prince, and the servants, all study in the school, and they should be treated equally!
In the future, when all the masters in the school are randomly inspected, whoever fails to pass the test will need to clean the school as a punishment twice a day, and no one is allowed to help, not even the eldest prince! "
"Cleaning the school?"
Zhu Di couldn't help but take a deep look at Guo An. All the old men were cleaning the school for the kid. They were really evil-hearted thieves.
As for the servants and boys from various families, they all looked solemn.
Li Wang, Tan Tong, Qiu Fu and other hundreds and thousands of households had weird faces. Cleaning the school was so simple?
However, everyone always felt that there was something strange about this matter.
Without waiting for them to speak, Zhu Di nodded directly.
"Just follow Guo Qing's plan, even Chi'er is no exception!"
Anyway, with Ma He and other servants present, Zhu Gaochi will never be the last one.
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An said with a grateful expression.
Everyone in the school responded in unison.
When Zhu Di left, Li Wang and others hurriedly stood up and saluted Guo An.
"Thank you Guo Changshi for rescuing us!"
"You're welcome, it's really difficult for you to learn how to read!" Guo An said very considerately.
"Yeah yeah……"
Li Wang and Tan Tong quickly showed expressions of deep approval.
Rather than reading and literate, they would rather lead the army to seize the camp and fight with the Yuan Dynasty Tatars.
"However, you are all Yanshan Guard generals. Each of you is responsible for the life and death of hundreds of soldiers. Literacy is inevitable."
Guo An said again, "We only teach you twenty words every day, and they are all words in the military book. You will forget it even if you leave the house, but the little ones at home can't forget it?
You can ask them when you get home, or even ask them when you get up in the morning... Anyway, as long as you forget, you can ask them at any time. "
"Let me ask this little bastard of ours?"
"How can this be……"
As soon as Guo An's words came out, all the generals were like a pot exploding, shaking their heads repeatedly, and at the same time they glared at their little brat fiercely.
Guo An said slowly: "Everyone, Sage Kong once said that when three people walk, there must be one person who can be your teacher.
When it comes to reading, literacy, and learning knowledge, there should be neither high nor low, neither long nor short.
Anyway, it's just for reading and literacy. As long as you can learn knowledge, there is no shame in it.
You have heard that Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin in the Han Dynasty, later commanded an army of 300,000 men. But as you know, Han Xin suffered humiliation from the crotch before he became a general!
There is also the ancient general Sun Bin, who was also subjected to beheading and tattooing, but in the end he did not become a general and authored "Sun Bin's Art of War"..."
"Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin also suffered crotch humiliation?"
"The general Sun Bin in "Sun Bin's Art of War" also suffered executions of mutilation and tattooing?"
Immediately, Li Wang, Qiu Fu and other generals all opened their eyes with surprise and uncertainty on their faces.
"Everyone who has read history books knows this. Why did I deceive you?"
Guo An curled his lips casually and said, "Also, if you can't bear to ask your bastards for advice, then you will probably have to clean the school for your bastards in front of your bastards tomorrow!"
"..."
The expressions of the generals suddenly changed. They asked them to clean their own schools. How could this be possible... However, it seemed that this matter was no longer up to them.
"Guo Changshi, couldn't you have planned this in advance?"
Thinking about it, Li Wang, Qiu Fu and other generals looked at Guo An with extremely resentful expressions. None of Guo An's scholars were good.
"You have misunderstood, and we didn't do it on purpose. Our original intention was to let the boys in your family learn to read in advance, and then read more military books, and have more contact with His Royal Highness in advance.
The most important thing is that I can help you read and write when you have time.
It’s just that our previous plans were implemented perfectly, but you guys are too lazy. It happens that the school also needs someone to clean up, and it can also bring out the bad breath of His Highness King Yan..."
Guo An explained it sincerely, and many of the generals' resentment toward Guo An dissipated a lot.
Of course, the most important thing is that their son can also read and write, and he is still in the same school as the eldest son. They must accept this kindness.
Moreover, at this moment, these generals were full of stories about Han Xin and Sun Bin.
"Guo Changshi, please tell us the story of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin."
"Yes, Guo Changshi, and the story of the general Sun Bin, please also tell us..."
"After class, I'll tell you about it!"
"Thank you Guo Changshi!"
"However, we only tell one story about an ancient general every day. If anyone fails our spot check, he will have to go out to clean the school and not listen to the story..."
"this?……"
In the end, regardless of whether these generals are willing or not, Guo An has the final say in the academy.
But these generals could only endure it silently.
At this point, the school has truly turned into what Guo An expected, except of course that some generals clean the school with grimaces every day.
…
A few days later.
After Guo An dismissed the meeting again, he saw someone from his hometown at home, it was still the old housekeeper Guo Lin.
"Young Master, I specially sent my old servant to explain to you that before I received your letter, I had made an appointment with the Liu family to ask you to go back and meet the two members of the Liu family when you take a rest. Miss……"
Following Lin Bo's words, a little girl with a face full of snot appeared in Guo An's mind, and he couldn't help but ask with surprise.
"The Liu family that Uncle Lin mentioned is the one in Shunde Mansion?"
"Exactly!"
Guo Lin said with a red face.
"Why did the Liu family fall in love with me?" Guo An asked in disbelief.
The Liu family in Shunde Mansion is not his Guo family. With the death of the ancestor of scientific research, the entire Guo family began to truly decline.
And the ancestor of the Liu family not only received the title of king after his death, but also received a posthumous title.
The most important thing is that all the descendants of the Liu family were high-ranking officials in the Yuan Dynasty. Although in the Ming Dynasty, there were no high-ranking officials in the Liu family.
However, the descendants of the Liu family are still one of the top leaders in Shunde Prefecture, and even among the Confucian schools in the entire north.
As for the friendship, Guo An didn't believe it.
How many years have it been since the ancestors of both families died? The love has long since faded into white water.
For as long as he can remember, the only time the two families have interacted is his second brother Guo Gui's 100-day banquet.
