"trouble?"
Upon hearing these two words, Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Although he was already panicking, he still tried to remain calm and asked softly, "Mr. Gu, why is it so troublesome? Is there a solution?"
Suddenly knowing the way of a scholar was like taking a reassurance pill - because no matter what her final qualifications were, the fact that she had successfully gathered her literary mind was a foregone conclusion, which meant that she had a guarantee - before Lin Feng could taste the joy, he was panicked by Gu Chi's words, and his heart suddenly became unsure.
Gu Chi told Lin Feng the truth: "The words written by the thief star are countless and vast, but not many of them are circulated outside, and the content is fragmented and scattered... Even I have only read two fragments of the "Qimin Yaoshu" by chance, and I don't know how many chapters it has or what the full text is. If you want to exert your ability as a scholar, you need the entire "Qimin Yaoshu"..."
So far, the words and spirits related to agricultural books cannot be applied on the battlefield, nor can they be used to govern the world, and are not worth studying and developing. Naturally, scholars with literati and scholars will not pay attention to them, and no one takes them seriously, resulting in very few words and spirits related to agricultural books circulating outside.
Even if Gu Chi doesn't say the rest, Lin Feng should understand it.
Lin Feng lowered his head and was silent for a few breaths.
Shen Tang looked a little distressed.
She winked at Gu Chi, signaling him to stop making her cry and try to comfort her. Gu Chi had no choice but to change the subject and comfort the pale and disappointed girl: "But you don't have to be discouraged, things are not that bad yet."
Lin Feng pulled himself together: "Can it be saved?"
Gu Chi smiled and said, “Of course, the worst case scenario is that you can’t fully control the way of the scribe, but this is not fatal.”
Look at these scholars of literature and art around you.
Is there anyone who has perfectly mastered the way of the scribe
Aren't they full of life
Lin Feng: “…”
Not comforted at all...
Gu Chi looked at Lin Feng's eyes that were almost about to cry, and even though he was thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed - if Chu Wuhui knew that he had deliberately made his beloved student cry, wouldn't he draw his sword and fight him one-on-one to decide the outcome, or even life and death
He made up an excuse to slip away.
"I'll go find some writing brushes and write down the two fragments. Then I'll ask your teacher and Qi Yuanliang if they've read the other fragments of Qi Min Yao Shu and see how much they can piece together. You don't need to think too much about this. Laying a solid foundation is the right path."
Lin Feng sorted out the chaotic emotions in his mind.
He bowed gratefully to Gu Chi.
Gu Chi waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be polite.
I plan to discuss with Chu Wuhui and others later on how to develop and utilize Lin Feng's scholarly ways - the lord's ways of princes are related to farming, and speaking words can make people well fed and watered. Can Lin Feng's scholarly ways lead to a good harvest
If this is true—
I don't know how many innocent people can survive.
Soon, Gu Chi released three bluebirds, and Qi Shan, Chu Yao, and Kang Shi received them almost at the same time. The messages carried by the three bluebirds were exactly the same, but there was one more paragraph for Chu Yao - he would be back two days later.
After all, Chu Yao was one of the "Three Heroes of Chu State" back then, so he shouldn't be unable to suppress such a small number of people in the valley.
Qi Shan stared at the Blue Bird letter in a daze.
"Qimin Yaoshu"
I vaguely heard a few fragments of it.
Qi Shan wrote down what he remembered and passed it to Gu Chi, adding a sentence - Do you need other agricultural books
He had not read Qi Min Yao Shu, but he had read three volumes of Nong Sang Ji Yao. Anyway, they were all agricultural books, so they might be useful. Kang Shi’s reply was similar. He had not heard of Qi Min Yao Shu, but he helped to add one volume to Nong Sang Ji Yao.
Gu Chi: “…”
Why is Lin Feng's literati's way Qi Min Yao Shu instead of Nong Sang Ji Yao? The latter has only seven volumes, and these two together make up four volumes. As for Nong Sang Ji Yao, the full text is more than 60,000 words, and it seems a bit strange that these two can recite four volumes by heart after just reading it casually - hehe, don't ask!
The answer is that all scholars and literati have a photographic memory!
Of course, the fundamental reason is that the Danfu of the top literary scholars can not only store literary energy, but also store backup words.
_(:з)∠)_
Even if they can't, the memory of the literati is also very good. They can remember an article of hundreds or thousands of words after reading it two or three times. The most powerful among the few is the teacher Chu Yao. He read five volumes of "Qimin Yaoshu" when he was young.
Gu Chi: Five volumes... so many
Chu Yao said: The Chu Kingdom Palace has a complete set.
Most of the Qi Min Yao Shu that are circulated in the market came from the Chu State. This book has 10 volumes and 92 chapters, and the main text and annotations are a total of 110,000 words. But because it is an agricultural book, there are only two copies, one is collected by the Chu State Palace, and the other is given as a dowry by Wang Ji. Chu Yao was able to read so much because Wang Ji's husband was the son of his mentor.
Later, Wang Ji gave it to her mentor.
Collected into my mentor’s private library.
Chu Yao was replaced by Wen Xin, and his teacher felt guilty and tried his best to make amends, even giving Chu Yao the key to freely enter and exit the private library. It was at that time that Chu Yao accidentally flipped through the set of "Qimin Yaoshu", but he did not finish reading...
Gu Chi replied to Qingniao: Can you still find it
Continue copying while waiting.
Chu Yao: It’s very difficult.
After his literary mind was replaced, the crown prince of Chu State, who had obtained his second-rank upper literary mind, was defeated by other brothers and involved in the "disaster of victory-wearying". His mentor, as the crown prince's accomplice, was also uprooted, and the others had their property confiscated and were exiled.
The State of Chu was destroyed by the State of Xin and its palaces were burned down.
To be honest, those two sets of "Qimin Yaoshu" are useless and neglected agricultural books, and it is difficult to preserve them.
unless-
Lin Feng will have the opportunity to enter the "Mountain and Sea Holy Land" in the future and bring out the complete set of "Qimin Yaoshu" from the mountain of books.
However, this possibility is unlikely.
The "holy land of mountains and seas" is vast and boundless, with tens of millions of mountains of books. Who knows which one the "Qimin Yaoshu" is hidden in
Many people stayed awake that night.
Chu Yao and others did it because of dictation.
Bai Su was tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night, because of the question "Can women also acquire literary mind and martial courage?" Lin Feng was excited and nervous, and couldn't sleep.
The only one who could sleep soundly was Shen Tang.
On the second day, the Golden Crow had not yet appeared.
As usual, Shen Tang kicked the rooster and the yellow dog awake, frightened the increasingly stubborn bandits, watched them do a few laps of morning exercise, and then nodded with satisfaction - her eyes were gratified, as if she was watching a group of prisoners who were diligently and honestly reforming in prison, and she was the kind-hearted person who was supervising and helping them reshape their lives - she felt quite a sense of accomplishment in educating people.
On the way back, she was blocked by Bai Su.
"Master Shen, wait a minute!"
"What is it?"
Bai Su bit her lower lip, nervous and uneasy: "Master Shen, no, Madam Shen... and no, Mr. Shen, can we move over and talk in detail?"
Calling "Master Shen" offends someone's real gender.
Calling her "Madam Shen" is neither impressive nor respectful.
As a compromise, we still call him "Mr. Shen".
Shen Tang did not move his feet, and said bluntly: "You are here for the matter of Wudan, right? Just tell me what you want to say."
Bai Su asked: "Can I gather my courage?"
She went straight to the point and asked frankly.
After Bai Su went back home last night, she turned over and over, chewing over every word Shen Tang and Gu Chi said, especially Gu Chi's words. She was excited at first, but when she calmed down, she discovered a shocking secret - which made her sleepiness disappear.
Looking back over the past two hundred years, have you ever seen a ruler pass the throne to his daughter
This means that the national seal, which symbolizes power, can only be passed down among male heirs, so there will be no female scholars of literary talent.
And because there were no female men of letters or warriors of courage, it was impossible for the female offspring of the ruler to receive the seal of the state.
The two are like a vicious circle.
It has even become recognized common sense.
Until Shen Tang and Lin Feng appeared.
The vicious cycle was broken.
In other words, this young girl in front of you, who still has a childish appearance, holds a national seal in her hand!
Shen Tang: "If you have enough talent, you should be able to do it."
Bai Su did not avoid or give way to his gaze, and her expression was filled with pride and confidence: "My talent is better than 90% of the men in the world!"
Shen Tang said: "That's fine."
Bai Su asked again: "What do I have to pay?"
Shen Tang: "Loyal."
Hearing this, Bai Su said without hesitation: "My name is Bai Su, and I am the witness of Haotian. For the rest of my life, I am willing to serve Mr. Shen."
Shen Tang: “…”
Is it so quick and easy
Hesitate for a moment...
In fact, Bai Sulai had thought a lot before, and her decision was not impulsive, but well considered.
She had told Shen Tang before that she was willing to be sent by him. But that was just to repay the favor. By helping Shen Tang understand the various forces in He Yin and helping him gain a foothold, she could retire and repay the favor of saving her life...
To swear again now would be to gamble my whole life.
People who practice martial arts always keep their promises!
Although Bai Su didn't talk much, Shen Tang could see the determination in her eyes and the stubbornness between her brows - she meant business.
Shen Tang asked: "Aren't you afraid of entrusting the wrong person?"
If she is just a hypocrite, saying one thing on the surface but doing another behind the scenes, will Bai Su do something that goes against her morality in the future? In Shen Tang's view, the master and the subordinate are actually similar to the boss and the employee.
We worked hard together if we were destined to, but if we were to separate...
As long as there is no betrayal or stabbing, it’s better to part ways amicably.
Who works for others if not for a living
There's no need to gamble your whole life for an offer.
Even if Bai Su chose herself.
Bai Su shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid, but I'm not."
Shen Tang: “…”
Bai Su said: "Mr. Shen, I have been traveling with my mentor since I was a child. Even if we have a clear conscience and think that we are helping the weak and the needy, in the eyes of the world, a thief is still a thief. Even if the thief's original intention was to help the poor. Not only do the victims think so, but the common people who did not get our help also think so, and they can't help but curse behind their backs..."
Although she is not very old, she has witnessed the fickleness of human nature and the bleakness of the world, which are beyond Shen Tang's imagination.
In their line of work, they never thought about having a good end. A peaceful burial after death instead of being mutilated and hung for public display was considered a good ending. Bai Su understood this truth early on, but as long as one is human, there will always be a desire to survive.
I just want to live, that's all.
"But I believe that Mr. Shen must be a good man." If she had the courage to fight, at least she would not fail with hatred when she met a third-rate hairpin. She could live a little easier, longer and more stable life than her mentor... This is already better than countless women in the world.
Even if you sacrifice your whole life, you won't lose anything.
Shen Tang: “…”
Ah, I feel like the burden on my shoulders has increased for some reason.
She talked to Bai Su for a few more words, and was about to go drink some tea to sort out her complicated thoughts, thinking about where she could seduce more women like Lin Feng and Bai Su. As soon as she stepped into the house, she heard Gu Chi's joke with a smile.
"I believe Mr. Shen is the man I want to spend my life with... Mr. Shen is affectionate, and Bai Niang is interested... I am so envious."
Shen Tang: “…”
Why did it go through Gu Chi's mouth...
The atmosphere is different
She rolled her eyes inwardly.
"No one in the market can write a storybook like you can."
Gu Chi nodded: "That's right, there is no such a wonderful plot in the market storybook, I can't think of it or write it."
Shen Tang: “…”
Gu Chi had no intention of continuing teasing. Instead, he straightened his face and pushed a thick stack of papers in his hand towards Shen Tang.
Shen Tang picked up the top few pages and flipped through them. Seeing the first few words, he asked, "Qimin Yaoshu?"
Gu Chi: "There is another part of the "Nongsang Ji Yao". It will take time to copy it. This is the part that has been copied."
Shen Tang looked at the total thickness of the paper, roughly a few hundred sheets, and then looked at Gu Chi, and a feeling of admiration arose spontaneously—
He copied all of this in one night. Is his right hand okay
Gu Chi said: "It's not just me."
Shen Tang flipped to the middle.
The handwriting of Chu Yao and the other two was discovered one after another.
He was surprised and asked, "Have Wuhui and the others been here?"
“No.”
"Didn't come?"
Shen Tang looked at the thick stack in his hand in surprise.
Could it be that the letter was delivered by the blue bird and then copied by Gu Chi alone
Gu Chi said with a smile: "Bluebird? How many words can a bluebird transmit at a time?"
Whether it is "Qimin Yaoshu" or "Nongsang Jiyao", they all use ten thousand as the unit. Dozens of bluebirds fly, and the sky is full of green bluebirds...
The scene was so beautiful that he dared not think about it.
Shen Tang said: "More than a thousand words..."
Gu Chi: “…”
It was a fatter bird than he could ever imagine.
For a moment, I didn’t know whether I should feel sorry for the recipient of such a long letter, or for the poor wings of the bluebird.
Forget it, let’s feel the pain together.
Gu Chi coughed twice and skipped the topic.
Shen Tang refused: "What's with that expression? I have so much to say at once. If I don't write it all down at once, do I have to divide it into hundreds of bluebirds and send them one by one? Even if I agree, I'm afraid the bluebirds will mix up the order..."
It would be strange if the recipient could understand it.
Gu Chi: “…”
Why then—
Instead of writing on paper, hang it on the bluebird's ankle and send it over
I totally don't understand Shen Lang's train of thought.
Just as Shen Tang didn't understand him.
"The rest of the contents will be delivered one after another. Let Lin Feng write down the contents of the words. Maybe they will come in handy for farming in the spring..." Before he finished speaking, a blue bird glided and dived nimbly and landed on Gu Chi's finger.
Shen Tang recognized him at a glance: "It's Wuhui."
After many communications, she could already clearly distinguish the literary style of everyone, but she was just wondering why the recipient was not her.
Shen Tang held up his chin and guessed the contents of the letter.
until-
Gu Chi read the letter and was overjoyed: "Good news!"
Shen Tang was so scared that he bit his tongue.
Covering his mouth, he said, "Just tell me the good news, why are you scaring me?"
"Ren Shu is coming!"
Ren Shu
Shen Tang's eyes lit up.
