Chapter 64 Approaching
Li Si checked the accounts bit by bit and integrated everything according to the requirements of the crooked calligraphy on the bamboo slips.
After he finished as required, he still had enough energy, so he made certain optimizations to the plans and arrangements according to his own methods.
It was already late at night.
The girl was holding a teapot, sitting on the ground, her head tilted and fell asleep.
Transparent saliva flowed down from the corner of the mouth.
Fortunately, the teapot in her arms was hugged tightly and had not yet poured, so the honey water inside was not sprinkled.
Li Si finished all the work and was not sleepy.
He slept well during the day, and with the long-lost contact with him, his heart was surging, so he was not sleepy.
He stood up and stretched, and Li Si saw the girl sitting on the ground and asleep.
After thinking for a while, Li Si did not go to her place to cover her with a quilt or carry her to the bed.
One is that Li Si has experienced everything he should have experienced at this age and has no obsession with women. On the other hand, he is afraid that he will be attracted by this girl and cause trouble.
So the best choice is not to do things that may cause unnecessary trouble.
After a night passed, Li Si handed over the bamboo slips that had been processed to several brave men who came to pick up the bamboo slips.
In the middle, Li Si tried to talk to these fierce soldiers from Xianyang with unproficient Qin Opera discourse and arranged for them to pay attention to some things.
But unfortunately, these fierce soldiers are really low-class and can't understand Li Si's elegant words mixed with Chu Yin.
So Li Si had to gently kick the girl sleeping on the ground and asked her to be her translator.
The girl was holding the teapot, confused, a little angry, and did not dare to have an attack, so she just puffed her cheeks and translated the words on both sides for Li Si.
After arranging precautions, Li Si washed up with the thanks from the soldiers.
After breakfast, Li Si went to teach the children.
The girl added hot water and honey to the teapot, and hugged the warm teapot and followed Li Si to class with her.
What they taught was very simple, just Qin's words.
Although Li Si couldn't understand the Qin Opera with the Xianyang local accents, he actually recognized the Qin Dynasty's characters.
However, all the pronunciations of words, as he knows, are pronunciations of elegant language.
This did not help him communicate with the Qin people, but it did not affect the children who taught him to understand his words.
These children are quite well-behaved. Compared with Li Si's children, they are really obedient, but they are really stupid enough.
They may be clever in life, but this cleverness is not helpful for them to learn something completely unfamiliar with them.
On the contrary, some children who are too clever and quick will be hindered.
This is a process that cannot save effort.
Li Si taught them some simple words, it was already noon.
He had a meal, then took a nap, and came to the place where the children worked in the afternoon.
The children are herding cattle and sheep.
They were small, skillfully waving their whips, their arms shaking slightly, and the whip made a sound.
Some children took out the wooden sword again, waved it with a whisper, and cut the weeds beside the road.
The nearby weeds lost their heads one after another.
After watching for a while, Li Si was discovered by the sharp-eyed child.
So he walked out with pride.
When the children saw it was him, they came to say hello.
Li Si nodded just.
He walked around majesticly, touching the cows eating grass from time to time.
The cow slapped him out of the corner of his eyes.
Li Si asked: "What else do you have to do besides herding cattle?"
The children gathered around and spoke in a verbal manner.
"We want to hunt grass and feed pigs," said a child holding his "sword" in his hand.
"Then what?"
"Then we need to dry the numbness and pick mulberry leaves."
...
As every question and answer, children have the need to express their ideas. They usually express to their peers. Now that Li Si is willing to listen, they show it to Li Si.
The girl held the teapot, wondering why Li Si asked about these questions.
She was not qualified to ask about Li Si's affairs, just watched silently.
In the evening, a soldier brought some meat and wine, saying that he was to thank Li Si for helping to sort out the work they needed to do.
Li Si was not polite, and accepted it directly, pointed to the drink and asked, "Don't Qin ban alcohol? Why can you bring so much wine to thank me?"
The fierce pawn was obviously stunned when he heard the girl's retelling questions.
He thought for a while, scratched his head and said, "It was a long time ago that the ban on alcohol in Qin State..."
He really couldn't remember how long it happened.
I only remember that after King Zheng of Qin became the crown prince, the alcohol ban slowly disappeared.
Drinks exist together with their good days.
The brave men can no longer recall the years without alcohol or full food.
Those memories have been deliberately forgotten.
He only looked forward.
So he couldn't answer Li Si's question, but said apologetically: "You don't have to worry about not having enough wine. We have some wine. Xianyang City has even started to produce strong wine that can be intoxicating between three bowls. We will never lose wine!"
Li Si looked at the wine thoughtfully, poured a bowl, and shared it with the soldiers.
The fierce man grinned and opened his mouth to sip, and the full bowl of wine disappeared into his big mouth.
While Li Si was amazed, he couldn't help laughing, and shared the drinks with the fierce man who didn't speak very well in front of him.
Compared with the inferior wines seen in half of the market, this wine tastes more fruity fragrance, and has less foam and residue, but its quality does not reach the category of "good wine".
However, even so, it is a very terrible thing to make ordinary Qin people feel that "there will never be less wine".
This means that the Qin State's grain reserves have reached a point where they can even provide enough food for the whole country!
Li Si was secretly frightened and secretly recorded this matter.
After drinking and eating the meat, Li Si sent away the girl and the warrior and began to record what he saw and knew in Chu's words.
During this period, he took out the letter Han Fei and Xunqiu asked him to Ju Zizhou and carefully pondered it.
Finally, before going to bed, Li Si took out the "A Sutra of Exploitation" and read it.
Nowadays, without this "A Sutra of Exploitation", Li Si would not sleep very peacefully.
Have a good sleep, wash and teach on the second day.
As a teacher, Li Si stayed in this remote place for the third day.
He taught the children simple calligraphy, and then at lunch, the girl who always served him was ashamed and led the savages to come.
When Li Si asked, he was not surprised that he had to help with the calculation work himself.
The fierce and the girl had hope and shame on her face.
Li Si agreed to the matter in one go.
Then, there were a lot of bamboo slips.
Among them, Li Si even saw the decree issued by the King of Qin.
