"Of course, but the raw materials for making this cement are in the general's yard."
Shen Ningsi said with a smile on his face.
Although he had only a few simple conversations with Master Du, Shen Ningsi could see that Master Du was indeed a great scholar.
Then the group headed towards Gu Hong's yard.
Shen Ningsi was not worried that Master Du would see anything, as the raw materials for making this cement had to go through multiple processes.
Just looking at the raw materials, you can't tell how it was made.
After a while, they arrived at Gu Hong's yard.
As soon as Mr. Du came in, he was attracted by the simple tools for making cement.
Shen Ningsi did not hide anything and introduced it to him in detail.
Mr. Du was clapping his hands while listening to it.
"Great! Great! I didn't expect it could be used like this! If we could build a fort or a city wall with this cement..."
Mr. Du's eyes lit up when he thought of this.
"Gu Hong also said so. A batch of materials has already been shipped to the border."
Shen Ningsi said with a smile on his face that only when like-minded people are together can they have topics to talk about and go further.
"Alright, I won't keep you from making cement. These are all state-owned weapons."
Mr. Du said this with a look of emotion, and then led his wife away.
"There is hope for the prosperity of our country... I never thought I would live to see this day."
Shen Ningsi followed behind Master Du and vaguely heard what he said.
"Madam, please stay for a moment. I have memorized the route we just came from."
Master Du saw that Shen Ningsi was still following behind him, and then stopped.
"Yes, this old man, although he is old and has a bad temper, he has a photographic memory. We can remember this road after walking it once. You are busy at home, so go back early!"
Mrs. Du also spoke with a smile on her face.
Seeing that they were so persistent, Shen Ningsi did not continue to send it.
When he returned home, Gu Zhen sat in the living room with a serious face.
But his eyes kept looking outside, as if waiting for someone to come back.
The moment he saw Shen Ningsi coming back, he immediately straightened the expression on his face.
"Ahem... Sisi, how is Master Du?" Gu Zhen asked knowingly.
In fact, he was waiting for Ana Shen to praise him.
"Uncle, Master Du is indeed a generous and humble person. The students he teaches will definitely be good."
Shen Ningsi looked at Gu Zhen with gratitude.
How bad could a teacher who cares about the country be?
"That's right, Master Du is a great scholar, ordinary people can't invite him at all!"
"Uncle, that's because you're a great general who defends the country. You fought on the battlefield for the people of Zhao and the people of Zhao. Naturally, you're respected by the people of Zhao. Master Du, although he's a great scholar, is also a citizen of Zhao."
Shen Ningsi said with a smile on his face.
Since Gu Zhen wanted to hear nice words, she would say nice words.
“Hahaha…it turns out that my niece-in-law also understands us rough people!”
Gu Zhen had a smile on his face.
"That's right, don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield. How many men have ever returned from battle? Since ancient times, only military commanders have been able to stabilize a country!"
Gu Zhen felt extremely comfortable after being flattered by Shen Ningsi.
"Okay, okay, just based on your words, it's worth it for me to lose face this time!"
After Gu Zhen finished speaking, he stood up with a smile on his face.
"You, if your child doesn't praise you, you won't be happy!"
Fang Xiwan still understood Gu Zhen very well, so she didn’t stop Shen Ningsi from praising her just now.
"Humph, don't you think Sisi's words, 'Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield, for few have ever returned from battles in history,' are quite poetic?"
After Gu Zhen finished speaking, both of them fell silent.
"Well, Gu Hong said there are some things in the military camp that need my attention."
Gu Zhen also knew that Fang Xiwan would definitely start to have wild thoughts at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart.
"Yes, how many people have ever returned from the wars in history?" Fang Xiwan murmured this sentence.
Then a look of relief appeared on his face.
"Since ancient times, you are not the only general who died on the battlefield! But our son has inherited your will. In the future, he will surely defeat those barbarians without a single enemy left. Then the people of Great Zhao will be able to live and work in peace."
Fang Xiwan murmured, and then tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Mother, the dead are gone. Although I have never met my father-in-law, I know that you two must have had a very good relationship. His spirit in heaven also hopes that you can be happy every day."
Shen Ningsi came over and looked at Fang Xiwan seriously.
"I know all this. I didn't figure it out before, but your words just now enlightened me."
When Fang Xiwan said this, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. I'm already hungry. What do you think we're having for lunch today?"
Fang Xiwan was worried that Shen Ningsi would take the blame on herself, so she spoke hurriedly. At this time, her stomach also started to growl at the right time.
"Okay, I'll cook for you myself today!" Shen Ningsi smiled and left.
She knew Fang Xiwan's preferences, so she didn't ask her what she wanted to eat.
On that day, everyone in Wanning Village knew that the teacher from the private school had arrived.
Everyone rushed to tell each other.
Even the people in other villages knew about the conditions that Shen Ningsi had mentioned at the beginning, and the families that met the conditions began to prepare tuition for the children.
Although Shen Ningsi said at the time that those who met the requirements did not need to pay tuition, if their children really went to study in a private school, they would feel uneasy if they did not pay tuition.
The next day, as soon as Master Du arrived at the private school, he was surrounded by enthusiastic villagers.
Before this, families who met the requirements and wanted to come to study had already greeted Shen Ningsi.
So, she prepared the desks and chairs.
"Master, although our family doesn't have much money, these things are the tuition fees given to you by our little fat boy."
A woman who looked to be in her thirties, holding a dozen eggs and an old mother, walked up to Mr. Du with an excited look on her face.
It is rare for the villagers to come up with such a good gift.
"No, no, no, take these things back quickly. Madam said at the beginning that as long as you come, I will not take you back."
Mr. Du waved his hands hurriedly.
The silver and money Shen Ningsi gave him was not a small amount, not to mention that Du Fu fell deeply in love with this village when he came here!
The villagers here know him but don't recognize him, so he doesn't have to be restricted in what he does.
"That won't do. Madam said that, that's just what Madam said!"
