The man was visibly shocked, "Is he Li Jin?"

At first, when he saw the two almanacs, he thought that the compilers had at least passed their forties and had many years of teaching experience.

That's why he never connected Xiuzhi who came to the door with the name Li Jin.

Wan Yun said: "What am I lying to my lord for? He is Li Jin. It's your lord's business whether to help or not."

During Wan Yun's return, although the man stayed in Fucheng, he was not always by Wan Yun's side.

What's more, Wan Yun didn't want him to eavesdrop on his conversation with Li Jin every time.

Therefore, this person still doesn't know that 'xiuzhi' is just Li Jin's word.

Hearing what Wan Yun said, the man already had a decision in his heart. He raised his eyes to look at Wan Yun, who had turned him into an army, and said, "It is indeed very sincere, but it is not what I want."

After finishing speaking, before Wan Yun could speak, he picked up the cup Wan Yun had brought out just now, finished the tea where he drank it, and said, "This is what I want."

Wan Yun flung his sleeves angrily and left.

It turned out that the man's name was Mo Xulin, and he came from a family of generals, the fourth eldest in the family.

It was thanks to him that Wan Yun was able to take the official ship when he returned to Ningxing Mansion.

There is one thing that Li Jin doesn't know, and Wan Yun only knows one thing, that is, "Mengxue Suanjing" and "Nongsang Suanjing" are not only popularized in every village, Mo Xulin's army has also been popularizing them.

After all, the time of fighting throughout the year is no more than half of the time, and the rest of the time the soldiers are farming on the mountainside.

Some of the soldiers were farmers and had experience in farming and mulberry, but they didn't know how to grow food on the hillsides in the northwest.

After all, the crops in different places are not the same. Some crops like water, some like shade, and some like sun.

In order to increase production so that the brothers could have enough to eat, they also consulted the locals, but not only did they not understand the language with the locals, some even deliberately deceived them.

The saying that troublesome people come out of poor mountains and bad waters is not groundless.

Just in the early spring of this year (Jiachen Year), His Majesty received two almanacs from the magistrate of Ningxing Prefecture.

Therefore, the general who was still in the capital for the elderly knew about it. At that time, Mo Xulin wrote back to ask his father about the cultivation of crops in the northwest plateau.The old general wrote some of his own experience, and at the same time, he had these two sets of books taken with him.

The old general didn't know that when Mo Xulin saw 'Proofreader Wan Yun', his hands trembled and he flipped through the book several times without even turning the pages.

Afterwards, with the help of the Nongsang Suanjing, they found crops suitable for sowing in spring and autumn, with a short maturity period and high yield.The soldiers could eat with their bellies open one by one.

When the soldiers had enough to eat, they naturally became more motivated to train soldiers.

But it is obvious that the other book "Men Xue Suan Jing" is more effective. Most of the soldiers are illiterate, and some of them can't even recognize and write their own names.

Mengxue Mathematical Classics was originally intended to be used as an enlightenment for children, explaining the profound things in a simple way, with many practical examples.

Mo Xulin sent a military division to teach the soldiers elementary arithmetic, telling them how to count easily and how to multiply within ten.

More importantly, it also analyzes how the cavalry can shoot more accurately, and from which angle, the enemy can be killed with one blow.

Although there is no second half of "Mengxue Suanjing", it talks about arcs and simple parabolas. The military division was inspired by it and analyzed a set of theoretical knowledge for cavalry.

No matter where, the combination of theory and practice has achieved remarkable results.

At the beginning of April, Mo Xulin's army won a complete victory, and the Hu people called Jin to withdraw their troops and signed a "peace treaty" with our dynasty.

After Mo Xulin handed over the command to the lieutenant general, he finally couldn't bear it any longer. Holding those books whose covers and spines were almost worn out by his fingertips, he hurried back to the capital overnight.

On the day Mo Xulin went back, he happened to see Wan Bangyan riding a tall horse, slowly parading through the streets under the admiring eyes of the girls and the people all over the city.

At first, Mo Xulin followed Wan Yun back to the Central Plains on the pretext of looking for the editors of "Nongsang Suanjing" and "Mengxue Suanjing".

In fact, this is just a cover. After all, the fact that these two books have played a big role in the army cannot be exposed for the time being, otherwise Li Jin and Wan Yun may be in danger.

On the surface, Mo Xulin was busy with business, but secretly investigated why Wan Yun didn't marry a wife all these years.

Although he had a thick skin, he never thought that Wan Yun would do this for him.

After all, they are both men. After the brotherhood has sublimated, they are destined not to be together. There is nothing more painful than this.

The next day, Mo Xulin personally visited Li Jin.

Li Jin recognized his appearance, and Mo Xulin explained: "This matter may affect you and Wan Yun. I disguised myself for safety."

Li Jin nodded in understanding.

Although Mo Xulin came from a tall family background and had military achievements, he was not overbearing at all.The tone of thank you is also very sincere.

And Li Jin was neither humble nor overbearing. Even if Mo Xulin said the great effect of these books, Li Jin was simply surprised for a few seconds, and soon returned to his previous calm.Not complacent at all.

This made Mo Xulin look up to him even more, even without Wan Yun's relationship, Mo Xulin would directly treat him as his peer to communicate with.

In the end, he even left a token for Li Jin.

"As a gift of money, I will send someone to send it after I leave it. This piece of jade is a keepsake from the General's Mansion. If Mr. Li wants to compile other elementary school books, you can directly contact the people in the General's Mansion for publishing matters, and they will also send a copy to the northwest. .Some things, I'm afraid they can come in handy."

After Mo Xulin left, Li Jin always felt that he had caught something, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Mo Xulin's words.

It was not until before going to bed at night that Li Jin caught a word 'Northwest' in Mo Xulin's dialect,

Before Wan Yun also said that he sent a post to go to the Northwest to spread the Nongsang and Mengxue Mathematical Classics. Could the destination of these two people be the same place?

However, Li Jin was obviously not so curious.

After figuring this out, he also gradually fell asleep.

When Mr. Pang learned that Li Jin was going to take his family to the capital, he didn't express any surprise, but directly gave him a land deed.

"This house was given to me by someone else, and it has been cleaned all the time. You can live in it directly when you go. Anyway, you only live for less than a year. No one in the capital is willing to rent for such a short period of time. I will temporarily lend this house to you." You live."

Seeing that Li Jin was about to thank him, Old Pang hummed, "There is also a pool in this yard, remember to practice your calligraphy well."

Li Jin laughed, "Thank you, master, for your guidance. This disciple will definitely respect your master's orders."

Mr. Pang was very satisfied, and said: "You should try your best to take the general examination and palace examination. You don't need to have too much pressure. Only when you have a good attitude can you perform normally."

As for the others, Li Jin didn't say goodbye face to face, but left a letter, and set off from Ningxing Mansion at the same time as Wan Yun and Mo Xulin.

It's just that one of their boats went west and the other went north, and they parted not long after passing Ningxing Mansion.

Wan Yun watched the boat carrying Li Jin's family go farther and farther away, and stood at the bow with a very sad expression.

Li Jin also felt the grief of parting, the little bun hugged his leg stickily, and followed his father in silence.

Xiao Baozi didn't know that another reason for his father's silence was that Wan Yun and Mo Xulin were indeed on the same road.

After a while, Li Jin sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, holding the little bun into his arms, his expression still languid.

"When will Uncle Wan come back to see Little Baozi again?"

Li Jin rubbed the top of his hair and said, "It will probably be a long time, next year Daddy will teach you to write, and you can write to Uncle Wan."

Xiao Baozi said sullenly: "Well, Xiao Baozi must learn to write quickly."

Five days later, the family was still drifting on the boat, and the little mountain leopard still had goat's milk mixed with rice cereal to eat, although this was the last meal.

And the little bun can only eat the corn bread with the adults.

After eating it twice, he was still able to persist, and later, Xiao Baozi couldn't help acting like a baby to the two fathers: "Daddy, Dad, Wowotou doesn't want Xiao Baozi to eat."

Because the ancients were more tactful when expressing their preferences, Qin Muwen taught Xiao Baozi to speak politely since he was a child.

As a result, the child made use of what he had learned and said the above sentence.

When Li Jin heard it, he felt distressed. He asked the boatman when he could dock and buy some fresh fruits and vegetables.

The boatman said: "No way, we are all on the river, and the shore is full of stones, so we can't go there. I'll ask the mother-in-law to catch some fish for you, and you can eat it after cooking."

Li Jin said, "It's troublesome."

The boatman was relieved to see that Keren was so talkative, and asked his wife to catch a few more big fish and some shrimps.

Li Jin scraped the scales of the fish, removed the viscera, and cut out the flesh with clear texture.

There are few fish bones in the river, and after removing the big spines, there are very few small spines in other places.

Qin Muwen steamed the fish and poured soy sauce on it to taste.Fortunately, his family didn't run out of condiments, so Qin Muwen received them in a basket and brought them up, which finally came in handy now.

As for the prawns, after Li Jin peeled off the meat, he minced the prawns himself, added a small amount of flour, mixed them with oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, etc., kneaded them into small balls one by one, and finally rolled them into ox tongues, and put them on the bottom of the pot. Brush with a layer of oil and fry in a pan until golden on both sides.

Xiao Baozi was really satisfied with the meal, and even ate two pieces of shrimp cakes.

Qin Muwen originally wanted to leave the rest for Xiao Baozi to eat tomorrow, but Li Jin watched his movements and asked with a smile, "Don't you want to try it?"

Qin Muwen paused, and Li Jin fed a piece to his husband.

"We will be able to dock in two days. You can have a good meal before going to the post station. There is no need to save now."

Qin Muwen chewed Li Jin's shrimp cakes, his almond eyes widened, it was even better than the steamed fish he made.

Li Jin couldn't help laughing and said, "Little Baozi's eyes are exactly the same as yours now when he eats."

But unlike Xiao Baozi who is cute when he sees it, Xiao Fulang can only release his cute side in front of him.This realization made Li Jin extremely happy.

After a full seven-day boat ride, when it docked, Xiao Baozi didn't need Li Jin to hug him, but jumped down while holding his hand.

Li Jin paid the rest of the money, and after hiring a carriage here, he went to the inner city to get a stamp on the road guide before going to the post station to register.

Juren who came to Beijing to rush for the exam can apply to take the bus, but they cannot bring their family members.

Li Jin is thanks to Mo Xulin this time. According to Mo Xulin, his second brother will pass by here tomorrow when he escorts the children back to Beijing.

Previously, these eight or nine-year-old children were thrown to the military camp for half a year of training.Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, their mothers also miss their children.

As long as Li Jin's family rented a carriage from the post station, they could enjoy the honor of the General's Mansion and follow them all the way to the capital smoothly.
