Yang Shen began to attend class, but the generals below did not study seriously. Coupled with the hot weather, many people were scratching their heads and scratching their heads.

Wang Xiaolie saw it from the side and couldn't help but frowned. How many words can they learn in this study method in a day? These are adults. Different from children, they become more and more confused by memorizing the "Thousand-Character Classic" and "Three-Character Classic".

Drowsy.

After watching for a while, Wang Xiaolie walked slowly towards his tent with his hands behind his back. He should think of a way to change the views of the army so that they can take the initiative to learn. But how easy is it to change people's ideas? Just

Relying on words is not enough. If words work, many things will be easier to do.

Back in the tent, Wang Xiaolie sat down at the table. He picked up the cattail leaf fan and fanned it slowly, thinking alone.

Nowadays, people in the military do not want to be literate, and there must be a social basis for doing so. If we do not change this social basis, but just tell them that they need to be literate and study, it is all empty talk. When the Song Dynasty was founded, Song Taizu also said that he wanted to give way to

If all the warriors in the world study, what will be the result?

Many of the customs of the Song Dynasty were inherited from the Five Dynasties. In the society of the Five Dynasties, wouldn't it be harmful for people to study? Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie shook his head gently. For a while, there was really no good way. He could only force himself.

Orders, whoever learns is his luck. In the future, the military must establish a system to encourage learning. For example, for promotions and appointments to some positions, literacy must be used to change everyone's opinions.

Standing up, Wang Xiaolie came to the tent door, looked at the generals outside, and suddenly felt a little helpless. There were too many restrictions in Kaifeng City, and many things could not be done according to his own ideas. Even if there was something that could be done, it would be because of

It can't be done without money.

At this time, Wang Xiaolie yearned for the days when he returned to his hometown. In his memory, he even recalled the scenery of his hometown. In mid-June, there were many fish of all kinds in the nearby river. In the nearby mountains, there were many

There are all kinds of fruits, many of which cannot be named. Maybe you can only show your talents when you return to your hometown.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao walked out of the tent and went to a big willow tree in the open space. He bent down to look and saw many small holes in the ground. These were the traces left by the cicada larvae when they came out. It was midsummer at this time.

, the cicadas are chirping in full swing.

Nothing happened, so Wang Xiaolie bent down and searched carefully. Sure enough, he saw a small earthen eye. He dug it lightly with his fingernail, and the eye grew bigger. Inside, a golden cicada opened its teeth and danced its claws.

Wang Xiaolie smiled. This was his favorite thing to do in his previous life. When he was a child, every summer, he would take a small shovel and go through the woods near the village. Wang Xiaolie could tell what was inside by looking at these small eyes on the ground.

Is it a golden cicada? This ability is something to be proud of among your peers. You must know that there are many bugs on the ground with all kinds of small eyes, but not many people can distinguish a golden cicada at a glance.

I remember that there was a big cherry tree in the village, and there were the most golden cicadas under the tree. In summer, the little eyes on the ground were as dense as a sieve. Unfortunately, the tree was in front of people's houses, and children were not allowed to pick at it.

He took out the golden cicada from the small hole, put it in the palm of his hand, and kept playing with it. At this time, Wang Xiaolie seemed to have returned to his childhood, no longer disturbed by the complicated world. After playing for a while, Wang Xiaolie went to find a piece of wood.

Under some big trees surrounding the open space, I concentrated on searching.

Golden cicadas will only come out of their holes in the evening. In the afternoon, there are not many people who dig out their holes in advance. However, Wang Xiaolie has a lot of experience and no one comes to fight for them, so he found a lot of them in a short time.

Yang Shen over there had finished class and was rubbing his forehead. Seeing Wang Xiaolie over there milling around enthusiastically, he came over with Cao Zhiyan.

When they arrived, they saw Wang Xiaolie carrying a piece of cloth with a lot of golden cicadas inside. The two looked at it for a while, and Cao Zhiyan frowned and said, "Xiao Sheren, what are you doing with these things?"

Wang Xiaolie straightened up and said with a smile: "Of course I caught it to eat. This thing is called a cockroach. When it is unearthed, it sheds its skin and becomes a cicada. The big ones like this are the most plump, and the smaller ones are not as popular. Bring it.

It’s deep-fried, best served with wine, it’s extremely delicious!”

Cao Zhiyan couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this. In all his life, he has never heard of anyone eating such a thing.

Of course some people eat this kind of thing, even a thousand years ago. However, most of them eat cicadas on trees, and very few people eat this kind of thing that has not yet been unearthed. This kind of thing is roasted directly with fire

, or deep-fried, it is delicious, but other methods are not so delicious. It’s just that before the Song Dynasty, there was less oil and could not be fried, so few people ate it.

It was approaching evening, and the golden cicadas in the ground began to dig out small holes at the entrance of their caves, preparing to come out after sunset. Wang Xiao hunted and caught more and more, and it didn't take long for him to catch a large cloth bag.

Lifting the golden cicada in his hand, Wang Xiaolian said: "It will be fried in a while. I will treat you to a drink tonight."

Cao Zhiyan shook his head: "Xiao Sheren, how do you eat this kind of thing? You need to drink alcohol, you can do it without eating vegetables."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "You don't know how delicious this thing is, so you say that. Once you taste it, you will know its benefits."

Yang Shen on the side said: "Xiao Sheren, why do you suddenly want to eat this today?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "When you were resting just now, Cao Zhiyan asked me what the use of literacy is. I thought about it for a long time. There are so many benefits of literacy in the army that I can't even count them all at once. But when I think about it again, these

The good thing is that I can't persuade the soldiers, but I'm afraid I still can't. As soon as I walked out, I found a lot of these things under the tree. I remembered what Cao Zhiyan asked me, why do the soldiers need to be literate and read?"

Cao Zhiyan said with a smile: "Xiaoshe people are joking, what does literacy and reading have to do with it?"

Wang Xiaoxing said: "It seems unrelated, but in fact it is related. It takes several years for this thing to be underground. When it is unearthed, it sheds its shell and becomes a cicada. Cicada is a noble thing in the world and can only live for half a month. After several years of hard work,

In exchange for singing for half a month, do you think this is a miserable thing?"

Yang Shen seemed unconvinced when he heard this: "How many years has this thing been underground? Xiaoshe people, I have never heard of this."

Wang Xiaoxing said: "How can this be false? This thing is underground and feeds on tree root sap and water. It took six years to be unearthed and it became a cicada."

Cao Zhiyan stepped forward and looked at the golden cicada in Wang Xiao's hand, and said, "I didn't expect this thing to be so miserable."

Wang Xiaoxing said: "This thing is delicious, but it is not the reason why I want to catch it today. It was because you asked me earlier why I study that I remembered it. If you don't study, even if you know that this thing is hard to work underground, you can only live after it is unearthed.

For half a month, you won’t feel anything. Those of us who have read books will think of another level. Cicadas are noble by nature, and I don’t know how many literati have written poems and chants. After years of hard work, in exchange for half a month of singing, the cicada’s life

It’s moving. We are the same now.”

Cao Zhiyan was puzzled: "Why are we the same?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Now the Jin army is strong, invincible in battles, and attacks everything, but our army can only lie dormant. Just like this golden cicada, it must grow up underground first before it can be unearthed and sing loudly. We are now dormant underground.

Sometimes, you have to be patient in everything and work hard all the time in order to succeed.

Only when we grow up can we have the final chance to soar into the sky and defeat the golden man. We are in difficulties now, but we must know the reasons for the difficulties and see the hope for the future. Only by keeping awake in our hearts and knowing that the light of the future is waiting for us can we

Persistence, only in perseverance

Able to remain optimistic. Soldiers who do not read and only know how to go into battle cannot understand these things. When they encounter a defeat, they become discouraged. When they win, they become dizzy. Why does the army need to be literate? Only when soldiers are literate can they not be like

In the past, I only knew how to live, train, and fight.

War is like a puppet. Once you know the words, you will know what the world is like. Why do we fight? Why move forward? Why retreat? Why can't we fight to the end with the Jin people when there is a war? If we understand, we can stay dormant temporarily.

Wait until the times change.”

Yang Shen and Cao Zhiyan still don't understand.

Wang Xiaolie knew that he had already figured it out. Why should the army be literate? Because this army is no longer like the past, it is no longer just a tool that passively accepts orders. It wants everyone to know,

Why are you fighting, for whom, and how you are going to fight? What is the process and what kind of results are you going to get? How can you speak clearly if you are not literate?
