To be honest, Kong Fang himself does not have a systematic theory. He only draws experience from movies, TV series and history in his previous life, especially the experience of that great man in building an army in his previous life.
Fang Shiyi is smart and knowledgeable. She can understand her own immature theories very well, and most importantly, she is her own advocate.
Leave this job to her and she will definitely do it well.
After explaining the general principles, he continued to talk about some details and examples intermittently.
After talking about the construction of the county army, he took out a thin book wrapped in silk.
This book is "The Art of War" that he dictated based on his own memory and was transcribed by Fang Shibo.
Of course, the title "Sun Tzu's Art of War" could no longer be used. He wanted to change it to "Kong Fang's Art of War", but Art of War was not poetry, it was about the life and death of soldiers participating in the war. After all, he did not have the guts to make it his own.
So he changed the title of the book to "The Essentials of the Art of War". As for its origin, he had already thought about it. It originated from ancient art of war relics, and he only occasionally obtained handwritten copies.
As for the original work, it has long been destroyed due to its age.
"This is an ancient military book. It's called "The Essentials of the Art of War." Give it to your eldest sister. Of course, you should also study it carefully. It will be very useful for leading troops in war in the future."
"It is a book I met by chance when I was traveling around the world. The two of us had a good rapport and had a great conversation, so he gave me a book of war. Of course, it is only a handwritten copy."
He solemnly handed over the "Art of War" whose title he had tampered with to Fang Shiyi.
Fang Shiyi did not dare to neglect, took the military book and opened the silk bag.
After taking a look at the bibliography, I immediately felt that the words "Art of War Essentials" looked very familiar. Looking further down, there was a line of small words on the lower right: Written by Fang Shibo.
She suppressed her laughter and asked softly: "Brother-in-law, are you sure it is an ancient military book given to you by a master from outside the world?"
"certainly."
Kong Fang's self-confidence also contained a hint of resentment, "Shiyi, why do you not trust your brother-in-law like your eldest sister?"
Fang Shiyi rolled her eyes at him and returned the military book to him, "Look, who wrote it?"
Kong Fang took the military book and looked at it carefully. The words "written by Fang Shibo" almost made his brain explode.
"Brother-in-law, tell me whether Shibo is the ancient who wrote the book, or the worldly master who gave you the military book?"
Fang Shiyi looked at him with a half-smile.
"Cough...cough..."
Kong Fang coughed repeatedly and was embarrassed.
He never expected that Fang Shibo would shamelessly sign his name on the cover of the military book.
No wonder he was so diligent in wrapping it in silk. It turned out that he was playing this trick on himself. It's all my fault that I trusted this naughty kid too much and ended up embarrassing myself.
"Shiyi, it's actually like this..."
"It is indeed a masterpiece of war, and it is indeed that I obtained it from an expert. But at that time, I had no ambition to join the army, so I didn't take it to heart."
"Don't we need it now, so I dictated it based on my memory and asked Shibo to record it. I was also surprised that I had forgotten everything else, but it was the only one I remembered so clearly."
"Of course I didn't remember it before, but I remembered it after fighting Zhu Chongjiu."
Kong Fang explained with a shy face, deeply impressed by his quick wit.
"If you don't believe it, you can read the contents to see if it is a profound art of war." He returned the book to Fang Shiyi.
Fang Shiyi was dubious, took the book again and opened the first page.
Beginning of the plan:
Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. They must be observed.
Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, which are calibrated and analyzed in order to explore their emotions: the first is called Dao, the second is called Heaven, the third is called Earth, the fourth is called General, and the fifth is called Dharma. The Taoist means that the people agree with their superiors, so they can die with them and live with them without fear of danger. Heaven refers to yin and yang, cold and heat, and the seasons. The land refers to distance, danger, danger, narrowness, death and life. Generals are wise, trustworthy, benevolent, courageous and strict. Dharma refers to music system, official way, and main application. All generals must hear these five things. Those who know them will win, and those who don’t know will not win...
Fang Shiyi was immediately attracted by the art of war described in the book of war and read it with all his heart.
Kong Fang quietly exited and went outside the tent to remind the guards to take care of Fang Shiyi but not to disturb her.
When he returned to the county government office, he changed out of his official uniform and asked Xiaocui and Lao Song to hunt pigweed. He also specifically called Kong Yiji. He plans to hand over the pig-raising business to Kong Yiji, so Kong Yiji must first learn how to raise pigs.
The three of them followed Kong Fang with their backpacks on their backs and full of doubts.
When he arrived at the outskirts, he pointed out the pigweeds he knew to Lao Song and others one by one, and asked them to cut them off and put them in their backpacks. No one in the Daxing Dynasty knew these pigweeds, let alone its magical uses.
Except for the occasional grazing by cattle, they are almost growing like crazy.
After a while, the three backpacks were filled, and then we headed back home.
Back in the backyard, Kong Fang taught them to crush the pigweed, put it into a large pot, add half a liter of rice bran and cook it together. Kong Fang asked Kong Yiji to record the name of each type of pigweed and every step they took in making pig food.
It will become the first pig-raising technology textbook in the Daxing Dynasty.
The firewood was very strong, and the pig food was boiling in a short time. As bubbles popped up, a smell of grass filled the air. Old Song Sui couldn't help but complain when he saw the steaming pig food:
"Artists don't even eat these things, it's weird that pigs do!"
I……
Kong Fang was a bit violent, but he couldn't bear to kick him away.
Lao Song also realized that he had made a mistake and was so frightened that he almost hid his head in his crotch.
He didn't dare to complain anymore and turned into a hard-working worker bee, working hard and complaining.
When the pig food was cooked, he poured it into a wooden bucket and carried it to the pig pen. Xiaocui and Kong Yiji followed closely behind. Lao Song poured the pig ling into the trough. He stubbornly believed that the pig would not eat it.
The result was unexpected. As soon as the pig food was poured into the trough, it couldn't wait to eat it. It seemed as if it had never eaten such delicacies before. The chirping sound could be clearly heard ten steps away.
Lao Song was stunned and couldn't believe this was true.
After being a pigherder for more than a dozen years, this was the first time he knew that pigs eat grass.
Kong Yiji was also surprised. Pigs have been raised since the founding of the Daxing Dynasty. Because they only eat grain, few people have raised them for more than a hundred years. Almost all pigs are raised by local tyrants, squires and dignitaries.
Therefore, there is very little pork for sale on the market, and few people can afford it.
He suppressed his excitement and recorded the scene carefully. I have more respect for the master in my heart.
Xiaocui was as happy as a child. She clapped her hands and jumped up and down, and lowered her head to "told" the pig to eat slower. Kong Fang stood far away, the smell of the pigsty made him daunted.
After feeding the pigs, Kong Fang began to assign tasks.
He assigned Kong Yiji to be responsible for purchasing pig seedlings.
It was obviously unrealistic to go to Zhongshan Kingdom to buy pig seedlings with the current transportation conditions. He asked Kong Yiji to search for them in nearby counties and buy them one by one.
