Chapter 365 Respect

Zhang Changzong glanced at the middle-aged scholar, smiled, and said, "I haven't asked for advice yet, this person is..."

The middle-aged scholar stood up and bowed to Zhang Changzong, introducing himself: "I am free from the surname Liu, the name of Xiaoying, and the ancestral home is Hejian. He was also exchanged by the general from the Turks last year. I have met his benefactor."

Zhang Changzong nodded, signaled him to sit down, and said, "It turns out that there is such a fate inside. What do you say is kind or not? I am just fulfilling my loyalty. Please sit and look at my words and deeds. I am not a person who does not know etiquette, but can I understand the words and words?"

"I spent a few years on the books when I returned to the general, but I was imprisoned for three years in the Turks, and my hands were destroyed and I couldn't write."

As he said that, he stretched out his right hand that had been in his sleeve, his joints were curved like chicken feet, and his wrist was unnaturally curved outside and inside. Not to mention writing, he could not even grasp things. Zhang Changzong frowned slightly. This injury was not like an ordinary injury, but rather a deformity caused by being discounted and not being treated well.

Liu Ying himself was calm: "The scholar is useless. His right hand is disabled and his livelihood is difficult. When the old village chief saw that he could still understand the words, he took me to teach the children in the village to understand the words and make a living."

Zhang Changzong saw that although his whole body was worn out, he was cleaned up. Most of the villagers were respectful and polite to him just now. Obviously, he taught well in this village. He nodded and praised: "No wonder most of the villagers in this village knew etiquette and respect when they came into contact with it. It turned out that there was also the contribution of Mr. Liu's teaching. Old village chief, you are doing well, and having an old family is like a treasure. It is a blessing to be the village chief in your village."

Old Village Chief Shen smiled with a smile, and his face was so pleated that he had pleated his face, but he still said modestly: "The general is rewarded. Life in our place is not easy. The old man only thinks about swearing young people in the village. If he can understand words and count them, even if he can't live in the future, if he can read the text and write, he can leave this place and make a living. It's better than waiting for death here."

Zhang Changzong nodded. This is because he is a grown-up person, knows how to plan for his descendants and seeks blessings for the future. Although the old village chief doesn't know the big word, and he hasn't even been to the prefecture in his life, he knows that he is a wise elder.

Liu Yingqian said, "I am just a gangster in Tianno Village and dare not be called a general."

Zhang Changzong said seriously: "Why can't you call me a sir? A teacher is a teacher who preaches and learns knowledge and helps you solve doubts. In my opinion, if you can't give up on yourself when you encounter a great disaster, you can still face life strongly and live actively, and you can be a sir. Your husband also taught these young people in the village about etiquette and knowledge and wisdom of the people in the country. Why can't you call me a sir? Is it because of my high status? That's wrong, identity cannot conceal my youth. Your husband does not despise himself when you encounter a great disaster, which is enough to become a role model for young people like us to learn from."

Zhang Changzong truly admires people like Liu Ying. Everyone who has encountered a great disaster but has not been defeated by fate and can still live hard. He admires everyone who does not rely on others and lives hard.

Liu Ying had a calm face, and was praised without any indifferent expression. He was a little excited and guilty. He refused repeatedly: "I dare not, I dare not, the general gave me more awards. Ying was not as great as the general said. She had been irritable and powerless. She just thought of being ashamed of her ancestors, so she cheered up again."

Zhang Changzong smiled and said seriously: "So this is what Mr. is worthy of admiration. If he can stand up straight after a disaster, he is a strong man, and he deserves admiration."

Zhang Changzong was well-informed in his previous life, and had seen disabled people who experienced drastic changes in life. Some people were self-reliant, some gave up on themselves, and some were self-reliant. Even if they were self-reliant, even if they made a living by picking up garbage, as long as they were diligent and capable of being independent and not relying on others, they were worthy of praise; those who gave up on themselves and were self-reliant, even if they were dressed in gorgeous clothes, should be despised. No one’s life was easy, and he admired those who were self-reliant.

Speaking of the issue of education, Zhang Changzong asked the villagers present what Mr. Liu had taught and what skills they had learned. It was still Shen Laosan. He was the most courageous and replied loudly: "When I returned to the general, Mr. Liu taught simple words and arithmetics such as grass-roots people. The gentleman said that if you can understand the documents issued by the court and the account book, you will not be able to go out and you can't even calculate the accounts and be deceived."

This Liu Ying is indeed a person with experience and is not pedantic. Zhang Changzong praised: "This is good, so you should teach these things. If you are a child, you can also teach some articles. You are all adult men. What you learn to write articles is a waste of time. As long as you can know the words and calculate the numbers, you will be able to do it well. The teacher teaches it well."

Liu Ying finally regained a little calm and said modestly: "The general is too rewarded, so he thinks so. The villagers occasionally go out to the market to sell some mountain goods, but they can't even calculate the accounts without knowing the numbers. They often barter goods and often suffer losses and get deceived. Teach them simple arithmetics and they can calculate the accounts. Even if they go out to sell short-term workers for a few days in the slack farm, they can still calculate the wages."

Zhang Changzong nodded, and did not say anything about knowledge. He even discussed this kind of literacy education with Liu Ying with enthusiasm, and discussed and exchanged opinions with others based on the experience of later generations. He heard Liu Ying's eyes strangely scanned his eyes, and seemed a little helpless, but he discussed it with him seriously.

After saying a while, the rain was getting lighter, but it started to snow in the sky. Before the snow was heavy, Huawei finally brought people back, and the food they bought in the nearest town.

After the grain was bought, the head army immediately started to make rice. Although the old village chief was not very educated, he was a wise man who understood secular human feelings. He immediately took people away. Even if Zhang Changzong tried to keep them, he firmly refused. Instead, he left a message: "Before the weather gets better, the general can keep people. If there is any need, he can send someone to call Xiao Laoer. The general can also use it. The general is his benefactor. Everyone is happy to be able to do things for the general."

"Okay, I'm thankful for the old village chief."

After waiting hungryly for most of the day, everyone was hungry. The head-in-arms quickly cooked a large pot of hot porridge and baked some pancakes. Everyone steamed down two bowls of hot bowls before they could feel warm.

After dinner, the generals sat together for a meeting. Huawei said: "Report to General, the young man took his men out forty miles before finding a small town. These foods are already half of the inventory of COFCO stores in the city. The weather is not good and it is difficult to transfer goods. If you stay for too long, you are afraid that there will be insufficient food."

Zhang Changzong nodded and said, "We have a large number of horses. We can go on the road and continue walking when the snow stops. Now there is something. Huawei, please pay attention to inquire about the bandits and horse thieves in the nearby areas in the past few days."

"Here."

Huawei responded. Jin Tao said, "General, the last general looked at the Mr. Liu in this village and seemed to have some origin. Should I ask with him?"

Zhang Changzong shook his head and said, "No. If someone is interested, he will tell us his identity. If he is not interested, he will not disturb his tranquility. He does not need to ask for anything. Everyone in this village respects him. If you ask for it, you will cause trouble. It is better to deal with it normally."

"Here."

Jin Tao agreed, with a look of confusion on his face and a little confused about his coach.
