Chapter 712 Young General vs. Rich Lady 15
Ji Yunhuan slept until dusk. He opened the curtains and saw the setting sun, casting a warm yellow glow into the room.
A clear and pleasant male voice came from the bronze mirror, "God, are you still there? There were too many people just now, and they disturbed the gods. I have asked them all to go back."
"God, please give us food. The people of Pingyang City will not starve! I will start recruiting soldiers tomorrow. Twenty thousand is still too few. We have no reinforcements, but Beirong has been sending more troops. Right now, there are more than 200,000 troops besieging Pingyang City."
"There were spies causing trouble in the city, and the food was almost stolen. If my father was here, there would definitely be no trouble in the city. In the final analysis, Xiao is too young. Without my father's reputation, the people in the city don't trust me, the major general, as much as they trust my father."
The excitement affected his wound. Huo Xiao coughed twice and continued, "Although the situation is difficult, with internal and external troubles, Xiao will never abandon the city and flee!"
"There was no medicine in the city, and wounded soldiers were dying one after another. They prayed to the gods to give them medicine to save their lives. After recruiting soldiers, they built a temple for the gods and worshipped them."
Huo Xiao kept calling on the gods and muttering a lot. There were some things he could not say to the soldiers around him. He was a major general and he had to support the entire Pingyang City.
But he can say anything to God, because God cares about the world and will not laugh at him.
Ji Yunhuan sat cross-legged on the carpet with a bronze mirror placed in front of her. With nothing to do, she started chatting with Huo Xiao.
"You and I both lost our fathers, so we share the same pain. Have you received the things I sent you? I have prepared three meals a day for you. In the morning, you can have steamed buns or dumplings. You can just heat them up and eat. It's very convenient."
"At noon, we have rice, one bowl per person, vegetables and meat. At night, we can have noodles with braised chicken, braised duck, etc. It's all ready to go."
"I have ordered more food for you, and more food will be delivered later. Don't be frugal. Taking care of your health is the most important thing. I will buy medicine for you tomorrow."
"In ancient times, they should have used traditional Chinese characters, right? Will you be unable to understand the instructions? Don't take medicine carelessly. I'll send you a few dictionaries. You should study them carefully to avoid taking the wrong medicine."
Ji Yunhuan carried the bronze mirror to the study. Her mother was very interested in ancient literature, so there were many books on the subject. However, she was not interested in these obscure things, and she did not inherit her mother's talent for studying history.
The first thing that was passed over was the Xinhua Dictionary, followed by Shuowen Jiezi, and a whole set of ancient Chinese studies, with comparative interpretations of ancient and modern Chinese... Ji Yunhuan was too lazy to read them all and threw them all into the bronze mirror.
Huo Xiao looked at the snow-white paper and couldn't let it go.
Each word is square, with a unique beauty, and is of uniform size. Printed on smooth white paper, it is particularly pleasing to the eye.
"The things that gods use are indeed extraordinary. The Lu Kingdom is good at making pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but none of them can compare to the paper sent by the gods. It is as thin as a cicada's wing, but it does not allow ink to penetrate. It is truly magical."
Huo Xiao searched for a while and immediately found a kind of writing that was very similar to the writing used by the Wei State. By comparing them, he was able to understand the books sent by the gods.
Ji Yunhuan became interested and found a pile of books in the corner of the study. When she was in high school, she was obsessed with time-travel novels and TV dramas, and made a lot of preparations for this, such as buying a bunch of books that she never read.
As long as it was hers, my mother kept it and didn't throw it away.
"Barefoot Doctor's Manual, Militia Training Manual, Collection of Cold Weapon Studies, Special Agent Training Manual, Collection of Chinese Herbal Medicine Identification, Complete Works of Sun Tzu's Art of War, 100,000 Whys, Collection of Tiangong Kaiwu..."
"This is the complete collection of essential knowledge for time travel that I spent a huge amount of money to buy. Now I'm giving it to you. Please study it carefully."
Huo Xiao received hundreds of thick books. He opened one at random and was so excited that even his hand holding the book became unsteady.
"This... How can there be such a wonderful book in the world? If it can be studied thoroughly, many seriously ill people can be saved!"
"The art of war is so cunning that even Xiao can hardly comprehend it at once. He needs to study it carefully. It turns out that apart from Xia and Beirong, the world is so big, with such a deep sea and such a vast land!"
"Xiao has limited knowledge and has always believed that the sky is round and the earth is square. Is it true that only the earth is round? How can people stand steadily on such a big sphere? 70% of the sphere's surface is actually ocean. It's a pity that Pingyang City still has no water..."
Huo Xiao was knowledgeable and had a good memory, and simplified Chinese characters were simpler than the small seal characters used by Wei Guo. He had memorized some commonly used characters and could continue reading by guessing.
The more he read, the more excited he became. His mind was filled with all kinds of knowledge. He felt like he had opened the door to a new world. An extremely vast world blossomed before his eyes!
At this moment, he felt that he had received divine revelation!
The knowledge that many people cannot pursue in their entire lives was so easily written on paper and placed before him.
If it could be spread, he couldn't imagine how much of a profound impact it would have on the world.
Huo Xiao neatly arranged dozens of books and bowed respectfully to the bronze mirror, "Thank you, God! Xiao will study hard and live up to the God's hard work."
Ji Yunhuan felt a little embarrassed. She didn't have any hard intentions in buying it. She bought it purely on impulse. She never even read it and just threw it in a corner to collect dust.
"Don't call me a god. My name is Ji Yunhuan. If you like these books, I will place an order now and buy a hundred more sets for you."
Ji Yunhuan did what he said and bought 100 sets of products online with his mobile phone. Since he was not in a hurry to use them, online shopping was the most convenient.
"Wait two or three days and it will be delivered. I will pass it on to you then."
Huo Xiao was shocked. "The God Realm is really luxurious. Such good paper can be found everywhere?"
"Nowadays, most people in Wei use bamboo slips, and only wealthy families can occasionally afford paper, which is mostly rough straw paper and difficult to write on. Only the paper of Lu State is fine and soft, suitable for writing and even painting. Unfortunately, Lu State kept this skill secret and never passed it on to others."
"The gods must have the ability to telekinetically gather so much food and supplies in half a day, and they can also conjure up so many books."
Ji Yunhuan was too lazy to correct Huo Xiao. So what if he was a god? It felt good to be a god.
"It's not that mysterious. It's just that the transportation and express delivery are more developed, so the delivery is fast. Wait, I'll send you another thing."
Ji Yunhuan didn't know how to explain the modern world to the ancients, so he downloaded some documentaries and popular science videos, fully charged his tablet, and sent it over.
Huo Xiao followed the instructions of the god and entered the password. The black iron plate suddenly lit up, and the picture kept flashing. There were tall buildings, iron boxes running on the wide streets, huge ships sailing in the sea, stirring up boiling waves, and iron birds flying in the sky, shedding white smoke that mixed with the clouds...
Huo Xiao was stunned. It turned out that this was the world of gods. There were abundant fruits and full granaries. People were troubled by eating too much and worked hard just to lose weight.
His soul was shocked like never before! If the people of Weiguo could live like this, he would die without regrets!
