"Boy, when this general's private school is built, you must sign up and learn the skills of fighting and killing the enemy. Killing the enemy is not just about wielding a sword or a gun, but also about using strategy and brains. You can kill ten people with a sword, but you can kill hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people with your brain, do you understand?"
As soon as Yan Gui finished speaking, before the black boy could reply, a voice rang out from the crowd watching the excitement: "General, can my boy come in? He is eight years old this year, has quite a bit of strength, and is not stupid."
"My dog is okay. He's not very strong, but he's pretty smart." Another voice sounded.
All of a sudden, everyone recommended their own boys to General Yan, as if they were not sending them to serve as soldiers in the war, but to serve as officials in the Golden Palace.
The people of Yan are tough and brave. Defending the country is everyone's honor, and those who are afraid of death will be looked down upon.
"As long as you are a Daxia male, under twelve years old and over five years old, you can sign up." Yan Gui answered with his hands behind his back: "Please give Yan Gui some time, fellow villagers. I will set up this private school after the new year, and we will call it..." Yan Gui paused slightly. If it was really set up, it couldn't be called a private school. That would be a bit like selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton.
"Yanzhou Military Guards. Is that okay?" Wei Yang whispered from the side.
"Okay, let's call it the Yanzhou Military Guard, and train outstanding men for Yanzhou, so that they can contribute to the safety of Yanzhou."
As Yan Gui finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but applaud, and some even ran around telling others that Tuocheng was going to open the Yanzhou Military Academy.
Soon the news that General Yan was going to set up the Yanzhou Military Guard spread to every corner of Yanzhou. It was already the hot summer when people in many remote areas got the news. By the time they trudged here with their children of school age, the second flag of the Yanzhou Military Guard had been erected and inserted into the sky above Yancheng.
Leaving the bustling crowd, Yan Gui asked Ding Wu to drive the carriage. Wei Yang hurriedly pulled his sleeve without saying a word, just looking at him with a pair of big watery eyes.
Looking at the pouting, almost rogue-like little girl, Yan Gui felt helpless and had to raise his hand to touch her hair. Why was she still so short, as if she hadn't grown much
"I'm not going home. I'll ask Ding Wu to drive over here. We're going to Deyue Building. You ran too far. If we walk there, we'll have to walk two blocks."
Hearing this, Wei Yang's eyes immediately narrowed into slits, and she shook Yan Gui's arm happily, calling tenderly: "Uncle, you are so kind. Can we not go to eat? I am still full, and I want to go shopping."
Yan Gui curled his lips and originally wanted to say that going to Deyue Tower would not only allow one to eat, but also to drink tea and listen to music. Seeing that Wei Yang was very interested in shopping, he stopped talking and reached out to grab her hand and walked with her.
Yan Gui was tall and handsome, while Wei Yang was petite and lovely. People passing by thought that either a brother was taking his sister out to play, or an uncle was taking his niece out to see something strange.
This time, Wei Yang was not paying attention to the roadside stalls, but turned her head to look at the shop next to it.
She could stand aside and watch for a long time when she saw the blacksmith working. The furnace in the blacksmith shop was burning red, and a sturdy man was taking out a piece of red-hot iron from the furnace and putting it on the iron table, while another man was standing on the other side and hammering. The two people took turns hammering and the sound they made was rhythmic and the sparks they produced were also very beautiful.
When they reached the lantern shop, Wei Yang stopped again. She seemed to be very interested in everything, and would stay for a shorter time for common things and longer for uncommon things.
Until she passed by a candy shop, she walked in almost without hesitation.
