Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 2531: Reading count is culture and education

Er Zhuzi mumbled a few words in disapproval, and the look on his face became disdainful. Liu Yu smiled and looked at him: "Brother Er Zhuzi, it seems that you have opinions on what I said. Come on, brother today. Let’s just talk about it here and say whatever you think. What’s your opinion?"

Er Zhuzi gritted his teeth: "Brother Jinu, I am an outspoken person, and a countryman has no knowledge. Just treat me as if I drank too much and went crazy, and don’t punish me afterwards. This court has laws and military laws, so don’t dare. Talk nonsense."

Liu Yu laughed: "Er Zhuzi, there is no imperial court here, and military laws are not followed, that is, we talk among the folks in Jingkou. There are only slaves here, two columns, four cows, and five dogs. There is no such a handsome or that. General, whatever you say today, as long as it is not treason and chaos, it will be fine!"

Er Zhuzi nodded, and said with a serious face: "Brother Jinu, you said that those high-ranking families who danced all the time and used ink, learning this poem and making that fu, what use is it. All of them have white powder on their faces. Like a woman, she is tired after walking two steps. She doesn’t know how to ride a horse and can only sit on her shoulders. It’s nothing but wasteful snacks. Otherwise, how can we win the world for our Beijing eight brothers? What about seizing power? Now as long as they dare to bully us, for example, like killing Brother Xingyun, we can kill him by picking up guys. Is it necessary for people like them to learn anything?"

   Erzhuzi’s words drew a sound of echoing around: “Yes, Erzhuzi said it well, as long as we can fight and kill, we only need to have a knife in our hands. What culture should we learn.”

—————

   "Isn't it better to have more time to practice martial arts? We country folks are inherently bad at that."

"Brother Jinu, you haven't studied since you were young. It's not that you have power by your fists and knives. If we want to learn, we should also learn from you. We should open more fighting arenas in Jingkou. Moon Moon!"

Liu Yu smiled, listening to these words one after another in his ears, until all the voices subsided, he said to Erzhuzi, who was proud and standing with arms folded: "Brother Erzhu, then I I would like to ask you, on the battlefield, if you want merit, you want to count the beheading, how do you calculate it?"

Er Zhuzi laughed and said, "Cut an enemy head, and tie the braid to your belt, hang this enemy head, and continue to hunt down the next one, Brother Jinu, you know, the most time I cut Seventeen heads of enemy armies, this is the time when the Xianbei thief was killed in the Battle of Luoyang."

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Yes, your belt was full at the time, and you asked the two guards behind you to help you collect heads. At that time, you were ranked fourth in the army in the battle, and I personally gave it to you. Give wine and drink together, so the team is promoted to the owner."

Er Zhuzi’s eyes are full of excitement, because he seems to be back to the pinnacle of his life at this moment. He keeps nodding his head: "Yes, I will not forget the credit that Brother Jinu personally acknowledged in my life. Yes, the wine that day..."

   Liu Yu interrupted him and said, "But don't you remember, how did you count these first levels at that time?"

Er Zhuzi’s complexion changed, and the person fell into deep thought: "Well, how did I count at the time, ah, I remember, I tied my belt, and some of my soldiers. The enemy heads that were collected were all spread on the ground, and then counted one by one, one, two, three......"

   With his eyes shining, he pointed his finger at the open space in front of him, as if he was at the first level.

   Liu Yu shook his head: "Then, if you count to ten, you can't count it anymore, because there are only ten fingers, right."

The Erzhuzi's face was flushed, and the Wugouzi of the Fan family smiled: "Later, I remembered the soldier next to him, and took his fingers to count, and then counted down. There happened to be two soldiers. Add his own, and count to twenty-seven, I said two pillars, if you cut three more, ah, no, four, cut four more, but there will be no more guards to help you Count it."

   There was a burst of laughter around him, and Er Zhuzi said grimly: "You are five dogs smart, knowing that your brother will plan to make a deal and will settle the account. Is it necessary to show it?"

Liu Yuzheng said: "Yes, Brother Erzhuzi said it well. Even if we have done meritorious service on the battlefield and hacked and killed dozens of enemy troops, we will not count the credit before our eyes, let alone write it down. The clerks reported their merits. Is it the same as counting watermelons with the fingers of a wrench to count one by one? Or is it that all official documents and military orders now depend on the door?"

  Speaking of this, Liu Yu looked at Erzhuzi: "It's like we came here today to meet, how did you know Erzhuzi? How did you get here?!"

Er Zhuzi replied without hesitation: "Yesterday the county's Changshi informed the subordinate officials, who informed every household, and we have to read the official document. I said Brother Ji Nu, you know we don’t understand these words. Also..."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "That's it. I can't read or read numbers. You can't do edicts or count military merits. Brother Erzhuzi, if you have great power, you can have no worries for the rest of your life. I can’t use power. How can I be so worry-free? Is it just that my family has enough to eat, don’t have to pay taxes, have wars to fight, other things don’t bother God, just live like this for a lifetime? Maybe you are You can live like this, but what about your son, what about your grandson, what about the thousands of other people in Dajin?"

There was a sound of whispers in the shed, everyone was discussing with each other, the two pillars gritted their teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Jinu, you are right, you have to learn numbers and words, you really have to learn culture, but It’s okay if we don’t learn it ourselves. Just like you, you can do well by joining the army with fat. We can also leave these things to those literate families."

Liu Yu put a smile away, and said with a serious face: "Their scholars have a saying that they cannot be dummies. That is to say, the name and power cannot be handed over to others casually, even if any country, any In a dynasty, when the nation was founded, it was defeated by war and conquest, but after the world was peaceful, people were always at peace, and there were not so many wars, and always entered the peaceful period. How do we retain the power in our hands at this time? We Jingkou people are not less bullied by officials. Although they will not ruin their families like other people in other places, when Diao Kui comes to us as a governor, he can make us indifferent and force us to sell land and houses. In the end, I can only become a tenant of his family. If it weren’t for my resistance and the Xie family’s support at the time, I’m afraid we brothers would have become slaves of others.
