The people of the grassland were stunned, the people of Langyun were speechless, but Lu Langjun himself was extremely righteous.
The Zhou guards who had been motionless also stepped forward and protected Lu Yuanbai behind them.
This scene really made Xia Ying marvel.
So, when Lü Yuanbai walked to the side of the carriage, Xia opened the curtain and said to him, "I didn't expect you to be so clever. You fooled these people with just a few words."
Unexpectedly, Lv Yuanbai replied seriously, "Everything I said is true."
Xia Ying was stunned.
Then the man continued, "According to the imperial decree, a criminal like me who has committed a serious crime must be sent here to suffer. Suicide or an accident would only cause trouble for the officers who brought me here, so they must protect me."
…
Looking at the man's brocade clothes, the jade pendant around his waist, and the osmanthus honey water hanging on the saddle to quench his thirst, Xia Ying could only say that if you have money, you can do whatever you want.
On the other side, the grassland people who were blocking the road quickly gave way.
They were not frightened by Lu Yuanbo. After all, they had never heard of what Lu Yuanbo said about aristocratic families and exile.
But they recognized the official uniforms of the Zhou guards.
Especially now that the grassland has returned to the ownership of Hua'an County, this means that all tribes must obey the jurisdiction of the Zhou State.
In short, if they injure others, they will be beheaded, and if others kill them, it will be in vain.
It would be stupid to give it again.
Their tribe was able to grow stronger under the rule of the barbarians and survive when General Wu came to slaughter them, all because of their ability to jump around and naturally knew how to adapt to the times.
So at this moment, they didn't dare to ask who the newcomers were or where they were going, and just let them go.
This made Xia Ying think highly of the seemingly frail Mr. Lu.
However, Lu Yuanbo did not think he had done anything remarkable, and began to ask Xia Ying for advice respectfully.
The opening line is "The wind is strong, the sky is high, and the monkeys are howling sadly", and the closing line is "The autumn water and the sky are the same color."
Obviously, even the top scholar could not escape the charm of Tang poetry and Song lyrics, and was addicted to them.
Moreover, this person has an excellent memory and great understanding, and has his own unique insights into poetry.
Xia Ying was particularly grateful that he had received nine years of compulsory education before traveling through time.
Otherwise, as a medical student, he really wouldn't be able to cope with it...
Fortunately, the Chinese language test from Lu Langjun did not last long, and they soon arrived at Tana's tribe.
At this time, another wave of harassing bandits had been completely dealt with and thrown into the new prison, serving as a new round of free human perpetual motion machines.
Only the scattered bloodstains outside the tribe's gate that had not yet been cleared away showed that a battle had just taken place here.
Tana also calmed down, changed her clothes, and welcomed the Lu family into the tribe with a smile. She also arranged for them to live in the newest tents.
Originally, the Lu family was prepared to suffer hardships here, but what they didn't expect was that everything in the tent was so thoughtful.
Not only are all the daily necessities available, but there is also a kang.
This thing doesn't look as exquisite as a bed, and it looks a bit rough, but it is really warm.
At least when Lu Yuanbai had nothing to do, he would curl up on the kang and would not get down easily.
Isn’t this more comfortable than a charcoal brazier?
But he still remembered that he came to the grassland to preach, teach and answer questions, so he did not allow himself to "degenerate" on the kang.
After resting for a few days, he left the tent and found Tana.
The female clan leader was with Yan Tao at the moment. Seeing Lv Yuanbai, she smiled and waved, "Good morning, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yuanbai, who was about to bow, paused.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yuanbai imitated her and waved his hand: "Good morning."
As he said this, he walked forward and performed a pupil earthquake on the spot.
For the two girls, watching tractors plowing the fields is nothing new.
But this had an extremely great impact on Mr. Lu.
Whether it was the machines emitting white smoke or the rows of fields, they all left him stunned.
Seeing this, Yan Tao couldn't help but sigh: "It's been a while since I've seen such a reaction."
Sure enough, it’s better to have some new natives from time to time.
Not only are there new tasks, but they are also very interesting.
Tana kindly explained the things about immortals and magical artifacts, and also lamented that the magical artifacts were good in every way except that they were a bit infertile.
There are no small tractors now.
Yan Tao had heard this more than once, and while she used to be troubled by it, she could now ignore it and change the subject directly: "The first brick house on the grassland will be built soon. We plan to use it as a school, a private academy."
In fact, her original intention was, since we are here, why not take classes together?
One more person, one more point.
Who would complain about having too many points?
But Tana obviously misunderstood Yan Tao's meaning.
Although she had only a vague understanding of the imperial examinations and the top scholar, in Tana's heart, the status of Her Royal Highness the Princess was obviously the same as that of Immortal Langyun.
Since His Highness said that Lu Yuanbai is very talented, then he must be capable!
So, Tana immediately looked at Lu Yuanbo with shining eyes: "Master, can you start teaching?"
The expectant look made Lu Langjun dazed.
Fortunately, he quickly controlled himself, pondered for a moment, and nodded with feigned reserve: "Of course, I wonder what the foundations of the tribe members are like?"
He had inquired about this before coming.
According to Prince Consort Luo, people on the grassland are not good at two things when it comes to reading.
Neither this nor that.
Ninety-nine percent of the illiterate people, more than half of them cannot even speak Zhou language.
Letting Lu Jialang teach is equivalent to having the top scorer in the college entrance examination teach the seedling class in a kindergarten, which is basically a waste of talent.
Therefore, Lu Yuanbo has always mentally prepared himself to "not look down on those who are behind", and has never thought about whether he is capable of doing the job.
For example, right now, he was thinking about how to keep a calm mind and not show any bad intentions. It wasn't the other person's fault that they couldn't read, so he had to be tolerant and gentle...
At this time, Tana said, "The Chinese class is going well. I've already learned half of the Chinese Pinyin."
Lü Yuanbai: …???
What is Hanyu Pinyin? How come he has never heard of it?
Tana didn't notice the strange look in the other person's eyes, and continued with a smile, "As for math, my people's levels are quite mixed, good and bad. Some have just memorized the multiplication table, while others can already solve word problems. The new subject we recently introduced is called... yes, physics. The immortal said it will be useful in the future, for energy or something." She blushed as she spoke, "But we haven't even started yet, but the teacher has shown some results."
Lu Yuanbai wanted to smile politely.
But he couldn't laugh.
This was the first time in his twenty-plus years of life that he encountered such a difficult situation.
I know all the characters, but I don’t understand them when they are put together.
It is indeed mixed.
But he felt like he was one of the mixed bunch of good and bad.
So, when Tana raised her face happily and asked him what he wanted to teach, he was silent for a while before asking, "I think I need to prepare the course. Can I have ten days?"
Tana was a little confused, but she quickly found a reason for him to do so. She bowed properly and said, "I didn't expect you to prepare your lessons so seriously. It's a blessing for me and my people. Thank you for your hard work, Master."
Lu Yuanbai nodded stiffly, watching Tana leave happily, muttering, "What is she going to do?"
Yan Tao, who had been watching the show without saying anything, replied, "I guess he went to inform others of the good news. I'm sure there will be quite a few students attending your class."
Lü Yuanbai: ...
Well, the day of public execution has arrived!
I have already seen the scene where I, the top scholar, am ridiculed as an illiterate!
Therefore, the sense of urgency made Lu Yuanbai not think about anything else at all. He hurriedly bowed to Yan Tao and said, "Please help me, fairy!"
Yan Tao was curious: "Save you what?"
Lv Yuanbai: "I want to learn, I want to learn now, I can't wait!"
Yan Tao naturally would not refuse such a person who is dedicated to learning.
Moreover, the reason why Tana misunderstood just now was that as a grassland person, she had no idea what the imperial examinations of the Great Zhou Dynasty were about.
Yan Tao knew it clearly.
So she quickly took out a copy of "First Grade Chinese" and handed it to Lu Yuanbai, saying kindly, "Take it home and read it first. If you don't understand, ask me."
Lu Yuanbai had prepared a lot of good words, but he didn't expect to be accepted so quickly. This shocked him: "Is this how the fairy taught me the knowledge of the fairy world?"
Yan Tao smiled and nodded, thinking in her heart that the system's point calculation system is judged based on influence.
If I teach this person, when he teaches others in the future, the points will also go to Yan Tao.
Absolutely sustainable development.
Moreover, Yan is also very happy to be a teacher to the top student, which is definitely a brilliant achievement on his resume.
But she was also a little curious: "Why didn't you refuse their request just now? You could have just skipped these classes and just taken the classics, history, and miscellaneous works you're familiar with, right?"
Lv Yuanbo, who was flipping through a textbook, straightened his face after hearing this and looked up, saying, "Although I don't understand what Chief Tana said, I have heard of Lang Yun's benevolence. What he will teach them must be what they urgently need."
Yan Tao was a little surprised, obviously not expecting this person to answer like this.
Lu Yuanbai continued, "I was too stubborn and self-righteous, thinking I could show off my talents. But in reality, what I learned might be useful for imperial examinations or a career in government, but it's probably nothing to ordinary people." He paused, then said in a deep voice, "I see. I understand. The fairy allowed me to study and gain experience so that I could experience the suffering of the people, rather than just burying myself in books and discussing military affairs on paper. Only by engaging with the people can I understand what is best for the Zhou Kingdom."
After hearing these words, Yan Tao didn't know how to react.
She simply wanted to recruit another disciple and earn more points, she really didn't think too much about it...
However, the last words sounded a little familiar.
So, she asked tentatively, "You, a child of the nobility, actually care so much about the people and even call them 'the masses'. Have you... read something?"
Lu Yuanbai said honestly, "It was a gift given to me by Lord Tan when I left the capital."
As he spoke, he took out a book from his arms.
I couldn't see the specific words clearly, but the bright red cover clearly indicated the nature of the book.
I understood instantly.
This Great Zhou is about to take off...
But Yan Tao didn't ask more questions. She just patiently taught Lu Yuanbai basic Chinese lessons.
When Teacher Bian and Xia Ying found them, Lv Yuanbai was holding the book obediently, and the first thing he said was "Open your mouth wide aaa, open your mouth wide ooo"...
Xia Ying was stunned: "This is..."
Teacher Bian saw through it immediately and said: "I guess there will be another Chinese teacher on the grassland soon."
As for Lu Yuanbo's ability, Student Xia had no doubts.
After all, in his impression, people who have many tricks will not be bad at studying.
But it is still quite interesting to watch the top scholar recite the pinyin song.
In order not to disturb them, Xia Ying lowered his voice: "Teacher Bian, why do you want to reclaim the land?"
Teacher Bian replied softly, "The initial development of the grasslands will definitely focus on agriculture. Let them learn to farm first. We can still rely on the tribesmen and captured free labor to support this, but if we want to develop large-scale infrastructure, we must prepare in steel, coal, and other areas."
"Build a steel mill?"
"Rather than this, it would be better to connect the railway as soon as possible and establish connections with the Zhou Kingdom's several counties that are mainly engaged in steel production. This way, the industries can complement each other and save a lot of time."
Xia Ying was not well versed in these matters, so he did not comment further. Instead, he asked, "Teacher, how long do you think it will take for a railway to be built here?"
Teacher Bian replied, "The Zhou State's best steelmaker is Dechang County, but Qi State has considerable experience in rail technology. Now it depends on communication between the two sides. I'm also in contact with Bian Yuhang, who is in charge of this."
Xia Ying knew that the two were father and son, and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Then I will wait for the teacher's good news with classmate Yan."
Teacher Bian glanced at Yan Tao, then quickly looked away. He spoke earnestly, "As someone who's been through this, I have a suggestion for you."
"Teacher, please speak."
"When you talk to Yan, don't be too distant. Tell us everything you've done. Don't always hide it."
Just like the can of Coke before, if Teacher Bian hadn't heard the meaning and pointed out that it was given by Xia Ying, Yan Tao probably still wouldn't know who gave it to her.
Xia Ying was not surprised that Teacher Bian noticed his thoughts. He even nodded to Teacher Bian with gratitude, and then walked towards Yan Tao with a heroic and confident look, ready to put it into practice.
Yan, who was concentrating on teaching, only then noticed him approaching and raised his head, a little puzzled: "Senior?"
Xia Ying was a little nervous, but still said, "I have something I want to tell you."
"What?"
"The textbooks you gave him aren't the latest. Before I came here, I exchanged them for a complete set of the latest People's Education Press edition, along with the accompanying workbooks. Come, let me study with you."
???
Xia Ying worked hard and actively, Yan Tao looked confused, and Teacher Bian looked at the sky silently.
This child is destined to be alone.
However, thinking of Yan Tao's previous actions, Teacher Bian sighed again.
He had always been curious about why Xia Yingyan and Tao, who were both good-looking and good at studying, and were excellent students in their respective majors, did not even have a single suitor around them.
Now, it seems, the case has been solved...
It's a perfect match.
This proves once again that this time travel is only suitable for career, and let love and other things go.
So, Teacher Bian blessed them in his heart, and then turned around and prepared to leave in Yan Tao's pleading eyes.
But at this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
The teachers and students of Langyun, who have traveled through time for several years, are now very familiar with the message prompts. They don’t even need to look at them. Just by the different prompt tones and the length of vibration, they can distinguish when it is a live broadcast prompt and when it is a task reminder.
But this time it was extra special.
There is only vibration, no sound.
This situation usually occurs when there are group messages from the system.
Thinking of this, Teacher Bian immediately turned around and saw that Xia Ying and Yan Tao had also stopped talking and were touching their pockets at the same time.
Lu Yuanbai stood obediently aside, not looking or listening to anything inappropriate.
Due to the presence of indigenous people, Teacher Bian did not go over and just looked at his mobile phone.
Then I saw group message prompts from the system APP pop up one by one——
[System upgrading...Upgrade completed].
[Information acquisition...acquisition completed].
[Ding, the system will intercept the extra-dimensional signal in three days, please check it].
