Chapter 541 The power of liter meters
Finally, they successfully fooled the group of military generals. Although they all doubted Hu Ye, they had a thought that they would be more down-to-earth than doing civil servants that they were not good at. They left with satisfaction one by one. It seemed that they were ready to go back to train troops.
"Yezi, are you saying true?"
After those people left, Zhang Fu asked Hu Ye curiously, why didn’t he hear Zhu Di say it?
"Fake."
Hu Ye rolled his eyes. His words just now were half true and half false. It was true that they wanted to deal with Japan, but it was still unknown whether the court should send troops. After all, the imperial court does not have a large number of warships now, and it is estimated that the large ships built in Quanzhou a few years ago can sail far away.
"Aren't you lying to them?"
Zhang Fu muttered.
"If you don't lie to them, how do you let me live in the future?"
Hu Ye said disdainfully, and then left the palace. He wanted to go back and prepare. The young ancestors will come tomorrow. I wonder if the academy will be messed up.
"Dad, Ye Zi..."
Zhang Fu looked at Hu Ye's departure back and said helplessly to Zhang Yu.
"Okay, okay, those two lame men who can only dance swords and guns are also excellent to let them practice soldiers. They are much better than asking questions in front of the emperor." Although Zhang Yu also complained about Hu Ye's lie, it seems that this is the only way. He can't let those generals rob the civil servants of their jobs.
The ancients said it well that every family has a difficult sutra, such as the Emperor's family, and the Hu Ye's family. For nothing else, Hu Mei accidentally broke into the backyard and cried all the time. Hu Ye went home and jumped into Hu Ye's arms, which stopped crying.
It turned out that Hu Mei was not in a good mood these days. After all, the mother who had been with her since childhood was gone, and no one would be in a good mood. So when this girl came back from the academy today, she wandered around without thinking. She wanted to find a quiet place to relax, but found that the backyard of the Wuming Mansion was very quiet and no one came over.
So the girl sneaked into the backyard and wanted to be alone and quietly.
What is the backyard? It is the base for bird-eating spider-eating. Since Hu Ye brought two bird-eating spider-eating spider-eating spider-eating spider-eating spider-eating spider-eating spider-eating spider-eating spider-eating spider-eating spider-eating spider-webs all over the sky, and the tea trees below cannot get enough sunlight.
This scared Hu Mei, and her depressed mood was eliminated. She just changed her fearful mood and kept crying. Even Hu Chun comforted her, it was useless. Saren and Qingyi's comfort was useless.
Everyone did not dare to kill the bird-eating spider to vent Hu Mei because they all knew that Hu Ye attached great importance to the bird-eating spider, saying that he could use the spider silk of the bird-eating spider to make some invulnerable clothes.
"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore, don't cry anymore, brother will go out for you."
Hu Ye comforted Hu Mei's young heart. The poor girl was scared like this before she could even get out of her sadness.
"Woo woo..." Hu Mei kept crying.
"Old Qian, leave two, and the rest are burned." Hu Ye ordered to Lao Qian.
"What?"
Lao Qian seemed to have not heard what Hu Ye said and asked again.
"I said I would leave two of you, and the rest were burned." Hu Ye rolled his eyes. Could it be that we were not clear enough?
"Young Master..."
Lao Qian was sure that he heard it correctly. What happened to the young master today? In the past, these spiders were raised as treasures, so why did they burn if they said they were burned today?
"If you do it, you do it, that's so much nonsense!"
Hu Ye said something unhappy, and then took Hu Mei out of the backyard.
"What's wrong with the young master today? He said he would burn it if he was burned? This is his hard work over the past few years!"
After Hu Ye left, Lao Qian looked at Sa Ren and the others at a loss. He didn't know whether to take action.
"Yes, he has spent a lot of time on them over the years. He didn't expect that in order to vent his anger, he actually burned the fire. Is that little girl's position in his heart so high?"
Yin Changlong also muttered. Hu Ye saw the comeback of bird-eating spiders over the years. He had never been hungry for them and had to feed them every day.
"I think the young master not only regards her as a sister, but also as a kind of sustenance."
Saren is already fifteen years old and knows more. He can’t tell who Hu Mei looks like. With a turn of his mind, he knows what Hu Ye is thinking.
"Uncle Qian, let's burn it. Leave two of them to Niutou Mountain. Don't keep them in Wuming Mansion."
Saren sighed, but it was a pity that so many bird-eating spiders were about to disappear.
"Support? Could it be?"
When Lao Qian was reminded by Sa Ren, he thought of something. When he thought about Hu Ye’s sad mood back then, he understood what Hu Ye did today.
So Lao Qian found a big cage and selected two strong bird-eating spiders to lock them up, preparing to take them to Niutou Mountain to stake them. As for the rest that were still on the spider web, they would burn them clean with fire.
Looking at the bird-eating spiders falling to the ground, still struggling in pain, Yin Changlong asked curiously, "Old Qian, tell us about your young master's past? Could it be that he has any sad things?"
"This fire has brought a lot of nutrition to the tea tree. I believe that more bird-bred tea will be picked next year."
Lao Qian threw away the torch in his hand and did not answer Yin Changlong's question. What a joke? Yueyue is the eternal pain in Hu Ye's heart. He did not mention this matter to others. If he mentioned it, it would be strange if he was not killed by the young master.
"Tsk, don't say it if you don't say it."
Yin Changlong snorted coldly and left the backyard.
"Brother, what are you looking at? Is there anything dirty on my face?"
In the hall, Hu Mei touched her face and asked Hu Ye curiously because she found that Hu Ye had been staring at her for a long time.
"Ah, no, it's just that my brother is so immersed in thinking about things."
Hu Ye smiled awkwardly and said quickly, "By the way, how are you doing in the academy today? Is anyone bullying you?"
"No, the elder brothers and sisters in the academy are very nice to us, especially after they heard that I was my elder brother's sister, they all took out the delicious food they made for me to eat, and took me to visit various places in the academy."
Hu Mei was in a much better mood at this moment and said happily.
"That's good, that's good."
Hu Ye nodded. He thought Hu Mei and Hu Chun would be rejected by the academy students because of their dissatisfaction. After all, they had never had much contact with others, and were educated by Hu since childhood to talk to strangers, but it seemed that they had integrated well.
"By the way, brother, I see what your academy teaches is different from other academys. My mother said that other academy teaches etiquette, righteousness, integrity, shame, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. Why didn't I see any of them today?" Hu Chun said suddenly.
"Propriety, righteousness, integrity, shame, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are a good theory, but what my academy teaches is another theory, not that there is anything wrong with that theory, it is just that existence is reasonable, and we cannot let a group of theories be bound by them."
Hu Ye murmured, to be honest, etiquette, integrity, shame, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are indeed true. This is also the tradition of the Chinese nation over the past thousand years, and it is also the theoretical basis for those dynasties to continue their rule.
However, Hu Ye believes that everything has two sides. That theory is good, but it also destroys people's body and mind. The most obvious one is the scholar class. For that theory, Li Yuanshan died, for that theory, Liu Sanwu died, and for that theory, Fang Xiaoru died, and brought a family of more than a dozen people with him.
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Hu Chun's doubt pulled Hu Ye out of his thoughts. Hu Ye then coughed, what was he talking about? How could he say this to an eleven or 2-year-old doll? Even those old scholars may not understand what he was saying.
"Uh, nothing. nothing."
Hu Ye said with an embarrassing smile.
After dinner, Hu Ye asked Saren and Qingyi to spare more room. Saren asked Hu Ye why, could he have a few more younger brothers and sisters?
Hu Ye gave a thrilling sir, and it would be great if it were younger brothers and sisters. He wouldn't have to worry about it. What he was coming was not younger brothers and sisters, but the little ancestors, and they had to offer them like they were offering to their ancestors.
The next day, Hu Ye got up early and came to the academy and found that many old scholars had already arrived at the academy. It seemed that they were all here to apply for academy teaching. After all, the academy was treated very well. The wages alone were many times higher than those of other academys, let alone the degree of attention of the academy. It was nothing to even openly protect the criminals. The backstage of this academy must be strong, so it is right to come here to teach!
Looking at the group of old scholars in front of him, Hu Ye felt that he was overwhelmed. Li Yuanshan used to do such a job, but now the old men of Gongshuji don’t do such things, so the burden naturally fell on his shoulders.
"I am proficient in all the Four Books and Five Classics, and memorize them like a stream, but I am a juren in the fifteenth year of Hongwu."
An old man coughed and took out a copy of official documents of some years, which seemed to be the proof of being a juren twenty years ago.
"Ahem, this old man, you are so impressed by your knowledge. Please wait for a while in the back hall." Hu Ye smiled awkwardly, invited the old man to the back hall respectfully, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead. The old man looked over seventy, which means he was over fifty before he was a juren... Thinking of this, Hu Ye said to a student next to him, "Give that old man a liter of rice, let him go home."
"Yes, students will do it now." The student nodded and then went to do it.
A moment later, just as Hu Ye was talking to another old man, he heard the roar of the old man just now, "Mr. Tao didn't bow his waist for five dou of rice back then! I won't bow my waist today! Do you think I came for your generous treatment? I came for the training of talents for the Ming Dynasty! You just want to send me a liter of rice, which is a look down on me!"
"Old man, please calm down. How about I'm adding a liter of rice to you?"
"Add two liters!" the old man said firmly.
"Okay, two liters are two liters."
The student finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, the old man happily left the academy with a large bag of rice, and said while walking, "I had known that there were so many meters, so I called my incompetent son."
