I am fish

Chapter 180 Five Years of Chaowu

The Celestial Weapon Box is still the most popular gadget. This group of female students who have just arrived in Runing and are full of hope in the officialdom and strive to make progress have begun to analyze the role of the Heavenly Weapon Box on the battlefield in the future.

Ah Liao said that in the past two days, she has perfected the Celestial Soldiers Magic Box, filled it with gravel to represent the number of soldiers, and can arrange troops on the simulated battlefield.As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the female students immediately lit up, and they couldn't wait for her to demonstrate quickly.

Ah Liao showed the Celestial Soldiers Magic Box, and the strange wooden scene and gravel appeared in front of his eyes. Students gathered here from all over the world, and more than half of them were from small families or even poor families. They all gathered there and played wooden plate wars mini game.

The people on the whole boat formed a circle with Ah Liao as the center, with only two exceptions.

Wei Tingxu and Zhen Wenjun stood at the two ends of the boat, separated by the width of five or six people.

The boat started, cutting through the peaceful moat and moving forward slowly.There are agricultural workers on both sides of the strait trimming the overgrown branches and grass, and the wind with the rare moisture and the fragrance of green grass blows head-on, which brings a sense of relaxation and fun to my heart.

I don't know how long ago I was so leisurely and carefree last time. Zhen Wenjun closed his eyes, hoping that the gentle wind would blow away some of the dullness that had weighed on his heart for many days.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that Wei Tingxu was holding a wine glass in her hand, stretching towards her.

Zhen Wenjun cast a glance, but did not answer.

Wei Tingxu said: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous."

Zhen Wenjun was not afraid, he took two steps and stretched his arms to get the wine glass over. Before reaching his nose, he could smell that it was the wine brewed by Aunt Azhu herself. It was very fragrant and was her favorite table wine.I didn't drink it for some days, and when I smelled it again, the wine worms in my heart came out, and I raised my head and drank it clean.

The smell of alcohol ascended, and the sweetness in the mouth returned, and the hearty pleasure made Zhen Wenjun feel comfortable from the inside out.

Wei Tingxu looked at her side face for a long time, until Ah Liao put away the heavenly soldier magic box, Ah Cang divided the table for everyone, put some fresh fruits on the table, and poured tea, then he looked away.

A group of people talked and laughed happily starting from the opening of Wanxiang Road.

A Cang was born in Nanya, which is the place where the Wanxiang Road must pass, and it is also the southernmost gateway of Dayu.After the Wanxiang Road was opened, all caravans had to pass through it. Countless goods flooded the Nanya Market, which brought about many changes in this relatively remote county, which has always relied on growing food as its main income. There are many more ways for the people to make money.

"Nanya's prosperity should be most grateful to the secretary supervisor in charge of Wanxiang Road." A Cang saluted Wei Tingxu, "It is precisely because the secretary supervisor reduced Nanya's taxes that the common people have more The extra effort devoted to commerce and trade has made Nanya Market the largest market in Yunan. I have been to the market several times in person, and the market there has more than tripled in size. It takes more than an hour to pick a horse. There are so many options to choose from.”

The prosperity of commerce and trade has brought all-round changes to Nanya.With the influx of large amounts of silver, the culture and concepts of more advanced and wealthy areas are also flooding Nanya.The most obvious change is that Ah Cang wanted to go out to study this time, and his family finally agreed.

"My father and mother saw that the two female officials could not only enter the center and become the promoters of the Haina reform, but also the good of Qin and Jin, which made people envious. In the past, being an official was a man's job, but now a woman can also fight for it. They also hope that their daughter will be able to succeed. The mountains are high and dangerous, and they can let me travel far to study."

Several female students talked about the road of Wanxiang and the impact of the Haina Reform on their fate. Wei Tingxu just listened quietly with a smile.

A slightly younger female student, who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, stared at Zhen Wenjun curiously and shyly. Zhen Wenjun noticed her gaze and asked:

"You have a question to ask me."

The little lady met Zhen Wenjun's heroic eyes, her little heart was pounding, she blushed with embarrassment, and said in a voice like a mosquito:

"General Zhen, I am a fan of the Chen family from Yun County. It is said that General Zhen has a photographic memory and is familiar with the classics of the art of war. General Zhen's talent is not inferior to that of the former prime minister. Become an official?"

The other female students on the side heard this and nodded in agreement.

A Cang also said: "Yes, I think the general is much more interesting than the gentlemen who give us lectures on weekdays. How could he risk his life to kill the enemy in northern Xinjiang?"

Zhen Wenjun smiled and said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. When the nation is in trouble, every citizen of Dayu should sacrifice his life to protect our country. Do you think that women are inferior to men and cannot go to the battlefield? Or do you think that women go to battle to kill the enemy? Is this not decent enough?"

A-Shan said: "It's not that A-Shan is prejudiced against women. After all, the differences between men and women are restricted everywhere on the battlefield. Not to mention the various inconveniences during the march, but the difference in natural strength between men and women. If they really fight, how can they be invincible?" Got a man? Didn't he die in vain?"

Zhen Wenjun patiently explained: "When the country lives and dies, not to mention the young and strong men and women on the battlefield, up to the old men and women, down to the children who have just turned 12 years old, all armed with weapons and bloody. What inconveniences and restrictions are there? The camps are all in the wild. When the food and grass are not enough, you have to eat grass roots and bark to satisfy your hunger. Beloved, I have never even held a knife to kill a chicken. Most of the women who will appear on the battlefield are slave women. They usually do physical work, and their strength is not much worse than that of ordinary men. The real battlefield Let’s not talk about women in the early days of the gods, even men who want to be famous and have military merits are a matter of narrow escape. A Shan, you ask me why I want to enter an official with military merits, but I don’t know that I used to be a slave. It’s not as good as you are today. It’s a good opportunity, so you should cherish it.”

Ashan didn't expect that Zhen Wenjun was born in slavery, so he couldn't help but let out an "ah", a little embarrassed and guilty:

"General Zhen who killed the enemy for the country is really a role model for Da Yu's women. I am narrow-minded."

Wei Tingxu said: "Actually, there is nothing in this world that you can do but I can't do. It is nothing more than four words: do what you can. For example, you may not be as good as General Zhen in killing the enemy, but in the future, you will do everything for Da Yu in the center. The deeds of the common people can also be remembered through the ages. Only by performing their duties and showing their strengths can Da Yu prosper. General Zhen is a genius in martial arts. Although I also want to gallop on the battlefield like her, it is a pity that I have the intention but can’t do it.”

Wei Tingxu's words made everyone nod like pecking rice.

A Cang then asked: "General Zhen, you will not be afraid when you face so many deadly weapons on the battlefield?"

Zhen Wenjun said seriously: "Of course I was afraid at the beginning. Although I have heard many battlefield allusions from my mother since I was a child, it feels completely different when I am in it. When I first went to the battlefield, it was as a private Those who went to serve as soldiers, during the early years of Shenchu, women were not allowed to be officials, not even soldiers."

Zhen Wenjun talked about the scene when he first went to northern Xinjiang. As soon as he arrived at the front line, he encountered a military rebellion. The general had his throat cut on the spot while standing on a high platform to give lectures to the recruits.

Speaking of this, all the female students present grinned and frowned, rubbing their arms.

Zhen Wenjun said: "The front line is indeed so cruel. You don't know when your best friend will suddenly stab you, and you don't know when and where you will die."

Zhen Wenjun said something about the battle between Mengliang and Liang, and wanted to end it, but a lady named Aji pestered her with questions, all about the details of the march and battle.

Zhen Wenjun saw that Ah Ji was tall and healthy, and he was a good material for martial arts, so he knew that her ambition was not necessarily to be a civil servant: "If you intend to join the army, come to Zhuojun's mansion to find me, and you and I will have a long talk all night."

Aji happily agreed, and Wei Tingxu, who was leaning aside, looked between Zhen Wenjun and Aji.

A female student named Ayou sighed as she watched Zhen Wenjun and Wei Tingxu singing in harmony, and Ah Cang asked, "Why are you sighing?"

Ayou said: "I was thinking, it would be good if it was like Secretary Jian and General Zhen. A girl and a daughter get married, one civil and one military, and they are really a good match. But I am not very feminine, and I will still find a good man. If there is a chance to become an official in the future, if you become pregnant, will you have to go to the morning court with a big belly? This...not only is it unbecoming, I have seen the appearance of the sisters-in-law at home after they are pregnant, it is really inconvenient to run back and forth."

Ah Cang seemed to be thinking of that scene, covered his lips with a "puchi" and giggled: "And if this child is in a hurry to come out in the early morning, don't you have to give birth to a child in front of His Majesty? This is too lively It's just disrespectful!"

Zhen Wenjun was embarrassed by Ayou's idea: "Your Majesty set up female officials to promote the status of women, and everything must be done step by step. Now you are required to study in Taiyuan Academy first, and then there will be a series of tailor-made for you. If a female official is pregnant, there will inevitably be a holiday set up for childbirth like a marriage leave. Such things as childbirth in the hall will never happen."

The first few questions of the female students were serious questions that the female officials were likely to encounter. After chatting for a while, the female students gradually became familiar with the couple, and the questions they asked gradually became more relaxed.

"General Zhen, it will take a long time for you to send troops to fight and leave Runing."

Zhen Wenjun nodded: "It's been three months since the last crusade against the blue-wristed bandits. It took three months to quell a disaster. Look at those Hu tribes in the north. They have been fighting since Emperor Ming, and they have fought dozens of times. It has not been completely eradicated for many years, and it is still constantly harassing the border of Dayu."

"General Zhen has the ambition to eradicate the Hu thieves completely?"

"If it's possible, I naturally want to wipe them all out and return the peace of my people."

"Are the general and the secretary like ordinary couples? There are three older brothers in my family. The eldest brother and sister-in-law respect each other like guests. They have always been husband and wife, and have never blushed. The second brother is very afraid of the second sister-in-law. He dare not go west when the second sister-in-law says things. , obeying the second sister-in-law. The third brother only got married last year, and he and the third sister-in-law fought fiercely for three days. The third brother was often driven to sleep in the study by the third sister-in-law, but they were very affectionate in a blink of an eye. I don’t know the secretary supervisor and the general What is it like on weekdays? It took several months for General Zhen to go to war, what should the secretary do?"

Zhen Wenjun has been answering seriously all the time, but unexpectedly the topic is gradually shifting in an uncontrollable and strange direction.

"Don't you miss the secretary? You just got married. If General Zhen wants to go north to attack Jin, he may be there for a year. How can he resolve the loneliness of not being with his wife?"

The female students were still discussing serious academic expressions, but Zhen Wenjun was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Wei Tingxu.

Wei Tingxu received Zhen Wenjun's gaze, and thought to himself: You can't wait to throw this kind of embarrassing question to me.

Wei Tingxu smiled and said: "When I was not with General Zhen, General Zhen naturally missed him very much, and he chased Runing back letter after letter. Before he even got to the battlefield, the love letters at home were piled up into a hill."

Zhen Wenjun: "I didn't..."

"General Zhen has a thin skin, and he doesn't like me talking about it on weekdays. But it's human nature to miss family members, so what's there to be ashamed of?" He knelt down beside Zhen Wenjun and nodded her head.

Zhen Wenjun bit his lip, trying not to get angry in front of the female students: "... Madam said so."

"Knowing that Wenjun is clingy, I miss her too. I also went to the front line to reunite with Wenjun during the Mengliang war."

"Secretary Superintendent went too? I heard that Secretary Superintendent was in poor health, and he was still sitting on a four-wheeler a few years ago." A Cang was surprised when he heard this, "He actually went to such a dangerous northern line for the general. They really are like a gluey couple. Affectionate."

Someone started, and people who were curious about the relationship between their wives and wives had more questions.Everyone wanted to know the story of the first same-sex married couple, asking questions without paying attention within the scope of etiquette.Ask them who is more family-friendly, and under normal circumstances, whoever listens to whom speaks more...

As soon as Zhen Wenjun changed his talkativeness just now, he became more and more silent.

When Wei Tingxu wanted to end the topic, Ah Cang asked the last question:

"I'm so envious of the two of you, who have experienced so much life and death together. By the way, how did the two of you meet? It is said that General Zhen is also the savior of the secretary prison."

A Cang's eyes lit up, waiting for Zhen Wenjun to answer the enviable past events, but unexpectedly, Zhen Wenjun was silent for a while and said:

"That was a long time ago, I have forgotten."
