Chapter 266 The Reality
After learning that Wen Jiu was pursuing them, the three people walked out of his tent in a trance. In fact, they didn't quite understand some of the words Wen Jiu used, but that didn't hinder their understanding.
The world of gods is man-made. Gods are not born as gods. Such a world is man-made.
It can be said that the divine realm is a fairyland formed after the unification of the world. As long as they unify the world, perhaps they can get closer to the divine realm.
Only Wen Jiu knew the truth of all this. The three people who were originally loyal to Wen Jiu now had more fanatical expectations of him.
After night fell, Wen Jiu took three people and took some dry food and went to a high ground under the cover of darkness to crawl and observe the mountain stronghold.
"Your Majesty, this is the largest bandit camp in Yunzhou. According to records, there were only 20 to 30 people in the bandit camp at the beginning. After the war with neighboring countries, taxes increased and the people were unable to eat enough, so more people turned to banditry.
Among them, their three leaders are the focus of the bandit camp and are deeply trusted by the big leader. "Song Haitang was still a little unaccustomed to using a telescope to observe. She felt a little dizzy after looking for a while, so she put down the telescope and explained to Wen Jiu in a low voice.
"According to our people's observations over the past half month, they have at least 800 people, and the defenses were already set up when we were heading here from Yun County." Wei Xin endured the dizziness and looked at the mountain village with flickering lights with great interest, "Wow, the food is good, we're having roasted lamb tonight."
"Your Highness, I saw their leader. Wow, he's so fat and strong. I'm afraid all the flesh on his body will shake when he fights." Wei Xinxing enthusiastically explained the eating to the three of them.
Wen Jiu took out his telescope. The moment the telescope came out, the three people's eyes widened. This...
Their telescopes only have one eye, while Wen Jiu's telescope has two eyes.
Wei Xin was a little curious: "My Lord, your telescope... is really unique."
Wen Jiu looked at the area of the bandit camp in front of him. It was really not small. It was said that there were only 800 people, but in reality it could easily accommodate 1,500 to 1,600 people.
He only brought a thousand men with him on this trip, so it would seem that it would take some effort to encircle and suppress the enemy.
How about setting fire to the mountain? Save time and effort.
This thought popped up in Wen Jiu’s mind.
Pre-war enemy reconnaissance has begun. The key to victory lies in who knows more about the enemy, who is better prepared, and the morale and spirit of the army.
Forget it, let’s use courtesy first and then force. Let’s try to persuade them to surrender first, and then massacre them if they refuse.
·
Wen Jiu has been traveling for more than a month. Qiao Shinian has stabilized the economic pressure and introduced new benefits.
At the same time, her ears regained some hearing, and she knew that her parents had already boarded the plane and left.
Although her hearing had recovered a little, she could only hear someone when they were close to each other. If they were a few steps away from each other, the person would have to speak very loudly for her to hear.
In the college, the students studied hard. Qiao Shinian sat in the teacher's office and looked at the list of students given to her by Ding Cuicui.
"These students will take the college entrance examination after the beginning of the year, and these are just in time for the provincial examination next year." After Ding Cuicui finished speaking, she took out the last piece of paper, which only had seven or eight names written on it. "These are the students and teachers who have registered to participate in the examination in Beijing next year."
"Yeah." Qiao Shinian looked at the age after each person's name. At the bottom of each piece of paper, it was written how many people there were in total and how much money would be needed.
The youngest reference was a six-year-old child.
Looking at the identical names, there is not a single woman among them, and there will never be a woman.
Still need to refuel.
"Who among these people do you think is promising?" Qiao Shinian asked.
Ding Cuicui thought of only one name without hesitation: "He will definitely pass." Ding Cuicui stood up and walked to Qiao Shinian, pointing at the youngest child on the list of candidates for the college entrance examination.
Qiao Shinian looked up at Ding Cuicui.
Ding Cuicui smiled, a smile that was bitter yet happy.
"My girl once said to me, there are geniuses in this world, and there are geniuses among geniuses. You said that in your hometown, some geniuses in the eyes of the world are just the threshold to meet another genius. I always thought that was just your fantasy, but now I have seen it."
Qiao Shinian had not taken care of students for a long time. She seemed to have some impression of this name: "Tell me about it."
"His parents are just ordinary farmhands recruited by the palace. They sent him to school just to get a job as a farmhand in the palace. He has only been in our academy for one year and four months, but now his knowledge has surpassed most of the teachers in the academy. His questions require the teachers to think for several days before they can answer them.
He has almost mastered all the knowledge now, except for practice. He is most interested in the physics, chemistry and geography taught by you, the girl. After school, he will go to Kong Twelve's medical clinic to learn medical skills and understand human medicine. He even has the energy to learn horse riding, archery, swords, guns and sticks with Cao Yue and others. "
Qiao Shinian frowned as he listened.
Hexagon Warrior?
"You're exaggerating, he's just a six-year-old child." Qiao Shinian has seen geniuses.
That was the student her mother was proud of, the one who could perform difficult moves shortly after learning to dance, the one who had only been learning dance with her mother for two years but had already won major domestic dance awards. As a person who had dance skills since childhood and was idle, she could only applaud under that person's stage.
Ding Cuicui shook her head, her face gradually revealing an indescribable shock and loneliness of admitting she was ordinary: "No, he actually likes to bury his head in reading. He said that understanding the content of the book is the easiest thing."
"Let's get to the point and don't keep you in suspense." Qiao Shinian noticed some information that Ding Cuicui was hiding.
“He has an older brother, two older sisters and a younger sister at home, and the others are all of interest to his older brothers and sisters.
I have sent people to investigate his family. There was not a single educated person among his ancestors. There were three butchers and one coroner. Yet, his poor parents gave birth to these geniuses.
He must take five days off every month. Since there is really nothing else we can teach him in our academy, we just turn a blind eye and agree to his five-day off.
He was not idle during those five days. He taught his brothers and sisters all the knowledge he learned in college.
His elder sister even dared to suture the wounds and prescribe medicine for the seriously injured in the village. Another elder sister made a time-saving and labor-saving water well. With a few pushes, water came out of the well. It is now very convenient for them to get water in the village. "
Ding Cuicui said this, she looked at Qiao Shinian: "The rest of the people, wait a little, you will know when they come in the afternoon. I didn't fully understand why he was so busy studying every day until the day before yesterday, so yesterday when his sister came to bring him some clothes, I asked her to take a letter back to her parents, and the person in charge would give them a few days off after seeing the letter.
Their parents should be able to bring them to the college this afternoon, and you will find out more about it then."
Qiao Shinian nodded. If those children were truly geniuses picked from thousands, it would be a blessing for the academy.
"Since the academy can no longer teach him, why not find him a famous teacher?" Qiao Shinian thought for a moment and said, "We can't let people think that our academy takes money but doesn't do anything. Since he can learn, I'll find someone to teach him well."
"By the way, are Jiao Xue's family still bothering her?"
"I came here twice after the New Year, but was scolded away by Jiao Xue. I haven't been here since then."
"I remember that she loved studying. How are her grades?" Qiao Shinian recalled that every time he saw Jiao Xue, she always looked serious and hardworking, and her eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Ding Cuicui shook her head: "She is above average and works hard, but...she has no talent for studying, she only has a pair of deft hands. But she only wants to study and research. She said she believes what the girl said, that women can also become officials in the future, so she must always prepare for the future, she wants to be an official."
"If there is no one to compare her with, she would look okay, but the appearance of the genius makes her seem so powerless." Ding Cuicui sighed, "This little girl is stubborn. Whenever she sees Tong Shuisheng and those teachers sitting together to debate, she is always full of envy. After a brief disappointment, she gets motivated and continues to read."
Qiao Shinian looked at the name on the list, Tong Shuisheng (six years old), and she was stunned.
Originally, when Jiao Xue was ostracized by others, she wanted to speak up for her.
The impulse disappeared in an instant. If this behavior were considered school bullying now, it is just a trivial dispute in this era.
Jiao Xue needs to rely on herself to resolve the bullying against her.
She has always remembered what Ding Cuicui said to her after giving birth: "Girl, I don't know how prosperous your hometown must be to have such a kind person like you. Now I feel like I am living in the fairyland you created. I should have died, but now I am of some use. Although you think our life has not reached the level you want, I am still grateful to you for letting me step into such a fairyland."
In fact, the living environment she has created for her people is far from one-third of her ideal. But even so, those who are under her protection will feel that they are living in a fairyland.
There is no possibility of offending the powerful and being beaten to death at any time, there is no risk of being sold to a slave and not knowing whether he can survive. Every meal can be eaten without worrying about what to eat next, there will be no stealing because of poverty, and he can read and write, has a good house to shelter from the wind and rain, and has clothes to wear.
The mere fact of being able to have enough food to eat is enough to make many people work for Qiao Shinian. In this era where human life is worthless and the powerful and wealthy oppress people to death, living with dignity like a human being is a pipe dream.
The offices for male and female teachers are still mixed. Qiao Shinian originally wanted to separate the male and female offices, but when he thought about boys and girls of different ages studying together, this idea was gone.
Cao Jinhua sat quietly, holding a piece of letter in her hand. From her expression it seemed that the letter did not contain any good news.
Seeing Qiao Shinian coming over, Cao Jinhua stood up. She was usually regarded as a nerd, but now her face was more worried: "Sister Qiao, Xiaoyue and I are going back to the capital."
Without waiting for Qiao Shinian to ask, Cao Jinhua took the initiative to say, "This letter is the 28th this year."
Qiao Shinian glanced at the other teachers and said, "Come out and speak."
Cao Jinhua nodded and followed Qiao Shinian: "If we don't go back within a month and a half, we will receive mourning letters from our eldest brother and sister-in-law, and we will have to go back and get married."
Cao Yue's expression and tone barely changed when she said these words. She just sighed faintly, "Sister Qiao, I know your and Xiaoyue's ideals. Ideals are based on money. The funds provided by Big Brother every year are two-thirds of our total funds. If Big Brother and you become estranged because of our marriage, it will not be worth it.
You said that ideals always have martyrs who sacrificed their lives.
I don't care about this. Xiaoyue will become a martyr who sacrifices himself for his ideals."
Qiao Shinian remained silent and before he could say anything, Cao Jinhua had already finished her words.
"Does she agree to go back?" Qiao Shinian asked.
"I've already drugged her. She won't wake up in three days, and she won't be able to use her strength in five days." Cao Jinhua stopped and looked at Qiao Shinian: "We'll wait for you to come back in Beijing."
"You..." Qiao Shinian didn't know what to say. Cao Yuejinhua was usually quiet, but she did things efficiently and effectively.
"Don't worry, Sister Qiao. If she refuses to go back within five days, there's nothing I can do to her. She can knock me down with one palm, and I can't resist." When Cao Jinhua said this expressionlessly, Qiao Shinian looked at her with admiration.
She remembered that Cao Jinhua was not like this when she first met her.
"Then tell me this..."
"I knew you would come today, so I came to say goodbye to you." Cao Jinhua said, "You don't have to see me off. Parting is always sad."
When Qiao Shinian was about to say something, Cao Jinhua let out a long sigh of relief: "I'm leaving, please don't worry about us. I will gain a firm foothold in the capital and keep my brother stable."
Qiao Shinian looked at Cao Jinhua's leaving back, somewhat unable to react.
Seeing Cao Jinhua's disappearing back, Qiao Shinian felt caught off guard.
Cao Jinhua has become a complete nerd in the past two years. She spends the whole day silently wandering in the sea of books. If she were to say what her ideal object is, it should be intelligent search software.
Doing things in silence really shows that she doesn't care about the lives of her family members, especially her niece.
Gradually, tears welled up in Qiao Shinian's eyes. In this era, Cao Jinhua was already considered an older leftover woman and was criticized.
Cao Jinhua is only 23 years old, just a college student who has just graduated in modern society.
Cao Yue is the youngest and is already twenty-one.
The Cao family has done the most they can by tolerating the two of them following her until now.
However, those who want an ideal life must eventually bow to reality and give up their ideals for the future.
……
Cao Yue woke up to the bumpy ride of the carriage. She drew aside the curtain and saw the horse pulling the carriage at a very fast speed. She felt sore all over.
"Cao Jinhua! You are so amazing! You actually drugged me! I am so fucking fed up with having an aunt like you!"
Cao Jinhua, who was riding a horse in front, heard the sound from the carriage behind. She turned her head and then made a stop gesture.
When the carriage stopped, the people escorting it automatically moved away.
"You slept for two days, one day shorter than expected. Are you thirsty? Do you need to go to the bathroom?"
Looking at Cao Jinhua's expressionless face, Cao Yue wanted to punch her aunt twice. She turned her head and said, "Drink some water!"
"Here, the cup is for you." Cao Jinhua took out a thermos cup and poured a lid of water for her.
Cao Yue used up almost all of her strength to hold the lid of water steady.
