Seeing that Wang Wuyang and Hua Shuyang were both anxious, the Wang Xijue brothers naturally would not say anything inappropriate.

Wang Xijue took the booklet seriously and agreed immediately: "There is a printing house in the Hanlin Academy. I will ask them to do it later."

"I hope it can be printed before the New Year." Hua Shuyang showed his rich face and said, "I will ask the book boy to transfer 2,000 taels to my uncle first. If it's not enough, tell me."

"Can you still call me uncle for nothing? I can still afford this small amount of money." Wang Xijue waved his hand and had no intention of letting them pay.

The two big dog owners pushed and shoved each other around, but in the end the richest man in Taicang used his seniority to suppress the richest man in Wuxi and did not take their money.

After seeing off the two juniors, the Wang Xijue brothers returned to their room and looked at the booklet on the table titled "An Introduction to Geometry".

"I want to see if a child of fourteen or fifteen years old can write a heavenly book?" Wang Dingjue reached out to take the handwritten booklet.

But his brother held his hand and said, "Let me take a look first. What if you also go crazy? How can I explain to my family?"

"Brother, you are joking again." Wang Dingjue was indeed a stubborn person, and he couldn't help but laugh: "I am already thirty years old, what kind of deceiving lies have I not seen? Can I be fooled like those young boys?"

"That's true." Wang Xijue thought to himself that his younger brother was always more stable and mature than himself. How could he be bewitched by something written by a young boy?

He withdrew his hand and said to his brother with a smile: "Then you read it first. If there are any taboos, I will help to correct them. If you really can't correct them, you can't print them out to harm others."

"Yeah." Wang Dingjue nodded in agreement, picked up the booklet and started flipping through it.

Wang Xijue took a closer look and saw a lot of pictures on it, which made him more and more certain that it was a book of prophecies. He thought, only this kind of weird thing could lead two smart people astray, right?

Wang Dingjue read through it once and found that he didn't understand it, so he had to start from the first page and read the definitions, postulates, and axioms carefully...

Wang Xijue was bending over the book and got tired of it, but couldn't make any sense of it, so he shook his head and walked away, no longer taking the book seriously.

Books of prophecies and divinations are always sensational, they should hook people and make them feel excited from the very beginning. If one cannot understand what they mean after reading them once, it can't be considered a good book.

Wang Dingjue's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and he didn't know what he had read in the book.

The days are short in winter, and it was already dusk when Eryang returned to Chunsong Hutong from Guanyinsi Hutong.

As soon as the two entered the west courtyard, they saw a scene that made them laugh out loud.

The young scoundrel Zhao Shixi was seen wearing the same green robe and cap as the sturdy man from Caijia Lane. Under the command of Gao Wu, he was performing "field exercises" with a group of men from Caijia Lane.

The so-called "field drill" is the military's formation training, which includes a series of prescribed movements such as standing still, disbanding, assembling, turning left, turning right, turning on the spot, squatting, and standing up. It is very similar to the training of new recruits in later armies.

But this was not instructed by Zhao Hao, but a method Gao Wu learned from Qi's army.

The Qi family army's fearsome mandarin duck formation required the close cooperation of eleven soldiers, and their orderly advance and retreat. Without strict field training day after day, it would be impossible for the eleven soldiers to act like one.

Moreover, Qi Jiguang was a Virgo with a strong desire for control... Therefore, he recruited the new recruits into the camp, gave them a simple and rough ideological education, and then threw them to the sergeants and captains like Gao Wu to train them wildly. Sooner or later, a group of unruly miners were trained to stand like pine trees, sit like bells, and walk like the wind. After they formed a conditioned reflex to follow orders and could execute them without any error, they were taught to use weapons.

If it's too early, I'm afraid those sergeants and captains will be shot...

It is no exaggeration to say that the training level and intensity of the Qi Family Army was at least two levels higher than that of the rest of the Ming Army. Even the men from Caijia Lane who had served in the army were so exhausted by the high-level martial arts training on the way here that Zhao Shixi, who was spoiled by his parents, was even more exhausted.

He had only been standing in military posture for less than half an hour, but he was already staggering and sweating profusely.

But Gao Wu was holding the whip and waving it right in front of him. As long as he swung it a little more, the whip would pounce on him like a poisonous snake!

I don't know what kind of whip technique this giant vicious man has practiced. Being whipped by him really feels like being bitten by a snake, and the pain makes my bones ache. What's even more weird is that after the beating, there is no injury on my body, but the piercing pain is clearly imprinted in the heart of the second young master Zhao, which makes him completely scared...

Otherwise, why do some people say that fear is the best teacher.

Shocked by the terrifying whip, Zhao Shixi dared not say a word or move a muscle, and just stood in military posture...

When Eryang came in, he saw a bean sprout swaying in the wind among a group of black men like iron towers. He couldn't help laughing and felt a new admiration for his master.

'The teacher's personality charm is really terrifying. Even such a stubborn person can repent and turn over a new leaf under the master's inspiration!'

Little did they know that this was just a simple exchange.

~~

Before this, Zhao Shixi had been whipped forty or fifty times and could no longer bear the pain, and was about to faint.

After all, Zhao Hao is not a sadist. Besides, he is worried that if he really beat the boy to death, he will not be able to explain to his elder brother.

Seeing that the time was almost right, he stopped Gao Wu and said to Zhao Shixi, "As long as you behave yourself, the remaining 150 lashes can be put on hold for now."

Zhao Shixi was really scared of being beaten, and immediately said that he would do anything as long as he could avoid being beaten.

Then Zhao Hao threw him to Gao Wu, asking Brother Gao to train this good-for-nothing nephew into a real hero.

In fact, Zhao Hao's original intention was to wait for the boy to recover and train him another day. But Gao Wu told the young master that the whip method he used was taught by Yu Dayou for special training. It hurts but does not hurt people. They always practice after beating.

Because this way the effect is good enough and the impression is deep.

Zhao Hao saw that the boy was fine after recovering from the injury, so he ignored him. He and Zhao Shizhen went into the house and sat on the kang. While eating fried peanuts with him, they continued to talk nonsense about the eight major shortcomings of the matchlock gun...

~~

So, Zhao Shixi joined the military training team and began training like a man.

By the time the group dispersed at night, his entire body was exhausted... When Gao Wu brought him into the house, the kid couldn't even lift his legs or step over the threshold.

Zhao Hao was lying on the kang in the inner room, mumbling something.

The eldest disciple Wang Wuyang sat at the table on the kang, taking notes with a pen.

The second apprentice Hua Shuyang is massaging his master's legs.

Even Zhao Shizhen stood by the kang with a teacup, ready to serve tea and water to his uncle at any time.

Obviously, after chatting with him for an entire afternoon, Zhao Hao had completely conquered this nephew who loved guns more than pens.
