Chapter 473 Extra 10 (6)
Cai Yong didn't know that he himself was labeled a hidden politician by Qiao Huan because he taught Cao Pi, Zhao Ji and others. Now when he heard her asking about the names of the Black Mountain bandits, although he was still a little confused as to whether he had misunderstood Zhang Niujiao, he still relied on his amazing memory to repeat the names of the people whose names he still remembered.
But when Qiao Huan got the list, he was dumbfounded.
Not to mention that there are people with the same name among them, even the surnames overlap because most of the Black Mountain bandits come from the same region. These names are not very recognizable when written in the storybook!
Moreover, the Black Mountain Army at that time did not have many characters like today. They were as perfunctory as possible when naming, and when it was written in the storybook, it was probably -
Zhang Tieniu shouted, "You two dogs, don't run away now."
Something like this.
Qiao Huan was distressed, "Now I understand why my mother spared no effort to promote education."
Although this was not the main reason, in the eyes of the young Qiao Huan, it had a significant impact.
Sun Luban suggested to her, "Since you have changed Zhang Niujiao's name to Niujiao King Wu Yong, you can give nicknames to the others as well, and then give them names that can be used in the storybook. Then you can explain the origins of the prototype characters clearly at the end."
Jiang Wei felt something was not good when he heard this, but Young Prince Qiao felt that there was great potential in it, so he immediately made the decision - let's do it!
A few days later, Cai Yong pushed the new crystal-polished reading glasses on his nose and fell into deep thought, "Do you really think there is nothing wrong with this name?"
Whose name would be Yan Ling or Qin Song? They even have courtesy names. The most outrageous one is this nickname. It's OK to call him Little Li Guang Smiling Tiger, but what about xx Immortal, xx Heavenly King, etc...
This person is not here to be a bandit, he may just be here to play house.
Well, it seems like it is really just playing house.
In the opening chapter that Qiao Huan had already written, these bandits did not look like bandits at all. They were played by sons of nobles who came up the mountain and started talking in a lot of nonsense as soon as they opened their mouths.
Cai Yong felt that he could no longer persuade the emperor, so he simply asked someone to send the manuscript and character settings to Luoyang as quickly as possible.
Not to mention Cai Yong, even Qiao Yan fell silent when he saw this thing.
Someone had already reported to her that Qiao Huan and her friends were going to interview Zhang Niu Jiao.
Although he didn't understand why she was so obsessed with writing such novels, Qiao Yan also felt that it would do no harm to let her come into contact with more different kinds of people.
But the problem is, what she wrote was not a true record of the Black Mountain bandits' construction.
If I have to say, this is more like a combination of the monsters in Journey to the West and Water Margin. The decorations in the bandit's house also have to refer to Dream of the Red Chamber.
It's really weird. It's a wonder this thing has an audience in this day and age.
If the last mythical version of the war still had readers like Lu Bu, this one is really a bit out of place.
Perhaps Zhang Niujiao never expected that after he finished bragging, his audience would give him another incredible interpretation.
Asking her to finish writing the whole article is a bit of a waste of time, but asking her to learn more and read more before trying this kind of thing seems to discourage her enthusiasm...
After some thought, Qiao Yan simply sent three "gifts" to Leping Academy.
One is that at the end of the 16th year of Yuan Zhao, a military generals' tour lecture will be held, requiring military generals from all sides to return to Beijing to report on their work and send one to Leping every ten days to explain important border defense matters.
A screening assessment for lecture qualifications will be conducted around October.
If everyone in Leping Academy wants to understand these lectures, they must first have sufficient knowledge reserves.
It was not difficult for Qiao Huan to meet these people, but since she wanted to work hard with these friends around her and serve as a good role model for them, she could not relax about this.
Her spare time is now half of what it used to be.
The second is a large transparent glass window.
In the early years, the lenses of telescopes were all made of crystal, and one even had to make a deal with the Mi family in the East China Sea to have the crystal shipped to Bingzhou and polished by a special person.
However, in the fifteen years since the founding of Dayong, the productivity gained in the textile industry had gradually expanded to the iron smelting industry. As Taoist priests such as Zuo Ci and Yu Ji no longer needed to assist in the naturalization of the Western Regions, they returned to the Central Plains and applied their alchemy skills to metallurgy, which gradually developed into the improvement of glass.
The glassware of the Warring States Period and the glass that can be used as window sashes in later generations are completely based on two different systems. However, as long as the process is changed from adding lead and barium to sodium and calcium, and then relying on the smelting furnace to increase the temperature, a new direction is opened up.
And when Qiao Yan proposed from the perspective of later generations that the initial batch of glass was green because it contained iron, those alchemists with great exploratory and creative abilities naturally found ways to improve and neutralize it.
It may take decades for the rudiments of chemistry to develop into a discipline, but at least now, more than a decade of accumulation has led to the emergence of nearly colorless glass, which is considered a miracle by people today.
This type of glass changes the disadvantage of existing glassware that it can only be processed into decorations, and also has great potential to reduce costs.
When this milestone product appeared in Leping Academy, the students there also received a task, still in the form of group work, to use their brains to think about whether this thing has any other uses.
Whether it is more important to write a storybook or to participate in such practical work, Qiao Huan himself should be able to make some considerations.
And the third "gift" probably shouldn't be called a gift, because it's actually three people.
Three people from the Kushan Empire.
After the border battle in the Western Regions, the Kushan Empire's ruler Potiao personally went to Chang'an to ask for peace and pay homage to the emperor. Qiao Yan then sent generals to stay there for a long time to show that the communication between the two sides was smooth.
During these ten years, the Kushan King had gained a lot of knowledge from Dayong, and he became increasingly aware that this dynasty, which had grown at an extremely fast pace after unifying the Central Plains, was by no means something he could contend with.
Rather than offending the other party at some point, it would be better to wait until we have gained something from the Central Plains and then show our sincerity to the great country of Tianchao again.
After the first month of the sixteenth year of Yuan Zhao, he sent his three children to Qiao Yan as hostages.
Most of these children were born after the conquest of Flusha, and under Bodiao's instruction, they learned the Central Plains language.
Qiao Yan sent all of them to Leping Academy.
Qiao Huan will definitely have to deal with these foreign countries in the future, so it is always a good idea to know what the other party is like as soon as possible.
With these three unexpected things in mind, Qiao Huan shouldn't be so prone to having weird ideas...right?
But it turns out that there might be.
After she handed the first draft of the manuscript to Zhang Niujiao, he looked hesitant and asked her to decide when to go and experience life in the mountains in person before creating her new work.
These three sudden "gifts" also disrupted her plans invisibly.
Especially when she learned that Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others all wanted to strive to attend the course, Qiao Huan, who claimed to be the leader of this small team, immediately decided that she could not fall behind.
She already has better conditions than anyone else. If she fails to take the first place in this selection, how can she explain to her mother?
Let's postpone this writing plan for now.
However, after interacting with the three princesses and princes of the Kushan Empire, no one knew that little Qiao Huaixu had listed another creative plan in his notebook, which was to write about the stories of those small Western countries coming to Dayong to pay homage and learn our advanced technology.
In order to make Dayong appear more mysterious, it shouldn't be hard to understand if they invented some legends similar to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, right?
Unfortunately, not only did she not know much about the bandits' lifestyle, she also didn't know much about religion. She only vaguely knew that the Queen Mother suppressed some of them, used some, and valued some of them. In the end, she not only made Taoist figures such as Tianshi Dao an important tool for her to stabilize the people's hearts, but also allowed things like glass to be born from their hands. In this way, it was almost impossible to write text that met her requirements at this time.
So standing in front of the piece of glass, others were thinking about what they could make with this thing, which was more resistant to cold and heat and not easy to break than previous viewing devices. Qiao Huan was thinking that she also had to make sure that she was familiar with and utilize all the forces behind it, and never let it get out of control.
Once she has figured out these questions, this book, tentatively titled "Journey to the East", should be completed, right?
It's okay, don't worry.
She isn't even ten years old yet.
——————
In the second half of the sixteenth year of Yuan Zhao, Qiao Huan was promoted to the third grade.
Because not everyone is like Qiao Huan and Jiang Wei who enter at the minimum admission age, some of these third and fourth grade students have begun to enter the stage of growing taller, so at this stage, in addition to the lower grade fighting courses, the academy also added horse riding and archery courses.
Although there are separate training routes for civil officials and military generals, in Qiao Yan's opinion, these people must master the six arts of a gentleman so that the style of the flourishing martial virtues of Dayong can be spread to foreign countries, so that these surrendered forces will never dare to act rashly.
This is the necessity of these two courses.
In theory, this course could be postponed for two years as long as it was completed before graduation, but after thinking about it, Qiao Huaixu decided to sign up for it early.
But she knew very well that although the Leping Qiao family was no longer as sparsely populated as it was in the past, which once made people worry, if something unexpected happened to the queen mother, there would be no one to succeed her. Now was not the time to relax their vigilance.
Her life is far more important than that of ordinary people.
So when the equestrian class started, the teacher in charge saw a guy dressed in a unique way.
Qiao Huan had a layer of rubber cushioning shell on her head, and then she wore a helmet. She also had special protective covers on the joints of her hands and feet, plus a conspicuous protective vest - according to her, this was to prevent others from finding her if the horse ran too far away.
It can be said that she is quite capable, as this kind of attire does not affect her agility.
She didn't even care about the scrutiny from people around her and stood calmly in the first position.
Zhang Changpu looked at this eye-catching and vivid picture and couldn't help laughing while sitting outside the horse farm. He also took the paintbrush in his hand and outlined this lively color on the drawing board.
However, what she did not expect was that at the next riding class six days later, the teacher in charge brought a box of helmets and distributed them to everyone one by one, claiming that the academy had referred to Qiao Huan's suggestion for strengthening protection, and after screening the young horses practicing riding, it now added a new layer of protection to strictly ensure that students in the school would not be harmed by such accidents.
It is not surprising to have such safety awareness in such a talent training base.
But after Sun Luban looked around and saw that everyone was dressed the same way as Qiao Huan was last time, she felt that no matter how slow she was, after facing so many coincidences, it was really necessary for her to doubt Qiao Huan's identity.
She came close to Qiao Huan and asked, "Tell me the truth—"
Qiao Huan tried hard not to show any nervousness on his face, so as not to be caught by Sun Luban.
Then she heard Sun Luban ask, "Are you from the Mi clan of the East Sea?"
Sun Luban was thinking, if he took advantage of this opportunity to sell the helmet with the sign "Specially for Leping Academy Students", how much would it fetch...
The author has something to say:
Oh, by the way, Zhang Changpu was Zhong Hui’s mother in history, and she was from Taiyuan.
Since she has been following Huai Xu, she will definitely not become Zhong Yao's concubine.
So you can just think of Zhong Hui or Zhong Yao as a son born in old age, but not completely a historical character.
See you at nine o'clock in the evening~
