This is a very quiet village, as beautiful as a paradise, and the tranquility of the merchants who are rushing to the road cannot break its tranquility. The farmland on the roadside is neat like brocade, and occasionally the wind passes by, and the millet on the fields rises and falls with the wind, causing green waves. On one side of the farmland is a newly opened vegetable field, and the unknown vegetable seedlings that break out of the ground show a little yellow in the new green, showing vitality. A huge water truck keeps spinning by the river, sending the river water continuously to the ground. The field is busy farmers, bent down to serve the crops. Occasionally, they raise their heads and say a few words to pedestrians asking for directions.

Most of the pedestrians went to the carpenter shop of Old Man Yang, the head of the village. There must be novel things there every few days. They rushed early. If you buy them early, you can sell them in the city for a very good price. Even if you don’t buy them, it will be fresh. After living for most of your life, you will see such a convenient thing for the first time. Take the wind gourd as an example. With a light shake with your hand, the wind can blow the fire in the stove high. If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, who would believe it? Not to mention this water wheel and windmill, which village is surrounded by ten miles and eight villages. Now, no village is a blessing for this thing. In the eyes of the nearby villagers, the creators of these miracles are clearly the gods descending to earth, and this craftsmanship is a blessing in disguise. Occasionally, villagers think like this. If the monsters were not so fierce, they would not have been descended from the gods.

The gods still live in Guandi Temple in the village. It is a holy place in the hearts of the villagers of the craftsman camp. Every day, the sound of young people reading is heard, which makes people feel indescribable. Since there are water wheels and other things, life in the fields is no longer so tiring. Parents are more willing to let their children read more books, which is a bit promising.

Wu'anguo has almost finished teaching basic mathematics in half a month. Children from the craftsmanship camp have learned skills from their parents since childhood, and they have a basic foundation in accounting. As long as they recognize Arabic numbers, they will soon become familiar with addition and subtraction within a thousand. Now they have started to memorize the formulas of multiplication. While resting, Wu'anguo took the time to teach young people military fists. In the open space at the entrance of the temple, more than 30 young people pulled their posture apart, which was really a bit of a tremendous momentum.

Li Shanping taught the children four books. Now the imperial examinations have been held in the court. If any of these children can get fame, the entire craftsman camp will feel honored. In fact, with Wu'anguo's skills, taking the martial arts subject must be within the top three. Li Shanping has advised him many times these days. But Wu'anguo always laughed it off. If he doesn't answer, Li Shanping couldn't force him. Occasionally, thinking about the Western stories Wu'anguo told, more than a thousand years ago, King Arthur changed the long table to a round table to make his subordinates have no sense of distance and can speak freely. After the founding of this dynasty, all civil and military affairs had to kneel down to report, and this official was really cowardly, and it would be better to be free in the mountains and fields. But thinking about Wu'anguo's ability, Li Shanping felt unwilling for him.

"If you turn yourself back but don't shrink, even if you have a broad and broad mind, I will not worry. If you turn yourself back, you will shrink, even if you have millions of people, I will go." On this day, Li Shanping saw that young people were listening seriously, and stopped to explain: "These sentences talk about courage, not the courage to fight with people in the street, but the great wisdom and courage in the world. The key is to reflexiveness. If you have a guilty heart and bully others, that is not courage, that is evil. Courage is actually a kind of mind and a personality. The first criterion for determining personality is whether a person has a unique and fearless person, "even if you have tens of millions of people, I will go!", rather than whether he has a "small personality" of ordinary husbands and wives. No matter what you do in the future, you must remember to be a real man, be worthy of the world, and not be mediocre and mediocre people who follow the flow."

"Just like Mr. Wu, I don't know what is by the water, but I still dare to go to the meeting alone. After learning Mr. Wu's martial arts, I must also learn his mind." After these days of contact, Li Shanping gradually realized that Wu'anguo was not a reincarnated Xuanwu, and knew that he actually sacrificed his life for a group of villagers whom he had never met. So he admired him even more.

"I know," the students spoke in unison. In their eyes, Wu Anguo has long been an idol in life.

Wu Anguo turned to himself when he saw the topic, and quickly interrupted, "Don't listen to Mr. Li's nonsense. I just couldn't bear to let everyone down that day, and I was still panicked. When you encounter these things, you should not be afraid. If you don't have the ability to fight, you should find a way to take wisdom. If you can't do it, you should retreat first and then think of other ways. Anyway, you should not punish temporary courage. You must know that you can keep your life and continue to fight. Courage is not on the surface. As Mr. Li said, if you have a clear conscience, you will have a huge difference in the enemy and us, and retreating for a while is not cowardly."

This grand discussion of Li Shanping was unheard of. He was willing to refute it, but he vaguely felt that there was some truth. If he agreed, it would be contrary to the words of the saint. It seemed that the education of students this afternoon was disrupted by Wu Anguo. Wu Anguo always taught children some remarks for no reason, and listened to something that was not contrary to ethics. Fortunately, he had not yet expressed the principle of equality for everyone, otherwise he would have to scare Li Shanping to death.

"Brother, do you really want to live here?" After the students dispersed, Li Shanping asked Wu Anguo softly.

Wu Anguo was doing push-ups happily. When he heard the question, he said without raising his head, "What's wrong with it? The folk customs here are simple and the scenery is beautiful. He is forgot about the mountains and rivers, and the sky is not collected, and the earth is not caring. Oh, look at you, I forgot how much I have done after a dozen of crosses, and I have to start over. One, two, three..."

"But isn't my brother's talent just buried?"

"Isn't it great to let the elders here collect more millet and earn more silver?" Wu Anguo saw that Li Shanping was serious about asking questions, and could not bear to ignore his enthusiasm. He got up from the ground and looked at him seriously saying, "If you are poor, you will be safe, and if you are prosperous, you will be able to help the world. This helps the world may not necessarily have to go to generals and ministers. Besides, the disadvantages are full of prosperity and life and death, so why bother to stick to it?"

"What a 'a 'traits of prosperity, life and death', and only such a person has such a courage, and he should be a big deal for this." A scholar in a small hat in blue turned around outside the door and applauded and cheered.

Wu Anguo and Li Shanping were talking, but they didn't see any visitor. Looking back, the man was seven feet tall, with a white face, his eyebrows and eyes were like paint, and he was very energetic. He had a short beard under his chin and was very neatly tidy. Two followers followed him, holding three groups of horses. It seemed that he had been listening outside the door for a long time.

Wu and Li were about to greet him, but the man had arrived and bowed to the ground, "Guo Pu, the magistrate of Huairou County, and Mr. Xie Wu, who was the one who eliminated the harm for the people."

Wu'anguo usually hears the villagers saying that the county magistrate is a clean official. Seeing that he is so polite, he is not willing to neglect him. He quickly returns the gift and says, "I dare not, I dare." Li Shanping bowed in a wheelchair and said, "I don't know if my parents are coming, and I will welcome you from now on. I hope you will forgive me."

The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "Today's casual clothes are for the purpose of being unconventional and etiquette, sir, don't be polite." He turned around and took two letters of silver from his entourage, presented them with both hands, and said to Wu'anguo: "This is the Xuanhong that was previously established by our county, a total of 200 taels. Please accept it with a smile."

Wu Anguo refused but had to accept it. Seeing that the two followers were still standing outside the door, he quickly asked the county magistrate to enter the house and asked for a tea. How could the two of them sit down after being willing to sit for a long time, and it was not until the county magistrate spoke that he had left half of his body.

Wu Anguo asked Li Shanping to accompany the guests and went out to cook water and make tea. The county magistrate saw Li Shanping sitting in a wheelchair and asked softly, "Sir, is it the iron-brained scholar Li Shanping who dared to stroke the tiger beard of the Mongolians." It turned out that as the wooden tools in the craftsman camp were circulating everywhere, the stories of Wu Anguo and Li Shanping spread wildly. "Iron-brained scholar" is the nickname given to Li Shanping by the people on the streets and alleys.

"I'm here with Li Shanping, but he is a scholar who has no power to tie a chicken. The word "iron courage" is joking." Seeing that the most painful and most proud thing in his life was mentioned, Li Shanping's face turned red and he quickly humbled himself.

"Sir, don't be humble. Although Mr. Husband is a scholar, this courage is rare in the world. The first time Guo heard about the two of you, he wanted to visit him, but he was busy with official duties. Today, I can finally see you. There is such a person in my county, and I have a bright face."

The two of them were polite and talked about killing tigers and killing dragons. Guo Pu had heard the rumors about the streets and alleys many times, but when he heard the details, he still felt thrilling. Hearing that Wu'anguo was returning from overseas and drew his sword for righteousness, he became even more impressed. Hearing that Wu'anguo built water trucks and wind moths, he couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder this disaster-affected village has such good crops. Mr. Wu is such a great wise man! The ancients said that traveling thousands of miles is like reading thousands of books, and this statement is really true."

When Wu'anguo poured tea, the conversation between the guests and the host had reached a happy place, and there was no longer any constraining. Guo Pu was a studious man, not from the imperial examination. He was elected officials from various places at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and was selected from Shaoxing. Therefore, he did not have so much pedantic spirit. Wu'anguo scraped his stomach with historical knowledge and fabricated some overseas strange stories. Guo Pu felt very interesting when he heard the wonderful things. He even showed a leisurely expression. Sometimes he compared it with this dynasty, and praised Wu'anguo's words in Cambridge University (founded in 1209), Model Congress (1295, Britain), etc., which surprised Wu'anguo. The two followers gradually became familiar with each other and talked more. Both of them were servants in the county, one was named Wang Hao and the other was named Li Ling. Guo Pu was usually nice to them, and they respected Guo Pu more than feared him.

Let’s talk about it and it was already late. Wu'anguo ordered a few dishes and a jar of wine from the newly opened restaurant at the entrance of the village. The restaurant was opened by the son of Mr. Yang. It was mainly to greet merchants who came to buy wooden utensils. The master who was in charge heard that the county magistrate was visiting and was willing to show off his skills. The freshness seemed to be the same as the guest and host. He had a great time to drink. Jianghuying was half a day away from the county town to ride a horse. After eating, Guo Pu sent Wang Hao and Li Ling to the villagers' house to spend the rest of his life. He built a floor shop in Guandi Temple, and it was not too simple. He chatted with Wu'anguo and Li Shanping for the middle of the night.

After breakfast the next day, Guo Pu pulled Wu'an Guomao and said, "Since he took office as Dianshi and died, there is no Dianshi in the small county on the frontier. Wang Wu brothers have been betrayed for a few days because of the weak face of this county. I know that Brother Wu doesn't care about fame, but the public security of a county cannot be left unattended." Wu An Guoman wanted to refuse, but the county magistrate couldn't stand the constant invitation. Li Shanping tried his best to persuade him, and Wang Hao and Li Ling were also inciting him. He had to respond.

Seeing that Wu Anguo agreed, Guo Pu turned around and asked Li Shanping: "Brother Li can take the post of the master, so I can get together with Brother Wu sooner or later." Li Shanping had decided to follow Wu Anguo and invite him to the county magistrate, and he agreed very readily.

When the villagers heard that the two gentlemen were leaving, they were very reluctant to leave. However, the craftsman camp had never produced such a large "official" and were still happy for the two. They immediately put on a carriage and loaded the tiger skin, dragon skin, big sword and long bow of Wu'anguo onto the carriage. They asked Old Man Yang to drive the carriage to take the two into the city.

Everyone was sent to the entrance of the village and reluctantly left. Wu Anguo told all the disciples to study hard and practice martial arts. When the farming period was slack, he continued to teach everyone. The disciples responded with red eyes.

I just got on the carriage and walked more than half a mile away, and suddenly I heard someone behind me shouting "Master, wait, Master, wait", which was a childish voice that was not lost. I stopped and saw a boy running from afar with his luggage. Who was the third son of the Zhang family?

Zhang Zhengxin rushed to the front and bowed to salute, "Disciples are willing to serve the Master and always listen to Master's teachings." A few words were so irritating, but they were very sincere.

"Don't your father care about it? How does your master teach you?" Li Shanping asked unhappily.

"I have already told my father that he is willing to take care of the family matters, brother and second brother agree to take care of him." The little guy had long expected Li Shanping to have this question and answered calmly.

Zhang Zhengxin, a few proud disciples in Wu'anguo, liked the most. Seeing that he insisted on following, he reached out to take his package and said, "Then get in the car quickly and miss home in the city. Don't cry."

"Oh"! Seeing that the master agreed, the little guy flew into the carriage, reached the front of the carriage, took the whip from Old Man Yang's hand, shouted "Driving", and the carriage ran away.

It was not easy to walk along the way, and people had to come down to carry the car forward. When we arrived at the county town, it was already night. We were now divided into east and west flower halls behind the county government. The Ming Dynasty was divided into three levels, with 200,000 people in the county, with 300,000 people as the upper county. Huairou was exploited by the Mongols for a hundred years, with a population of only 100,000. Therefore, it was a lower county. The county magistrate was a ninth rank official, elected from the south. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, you must be an official in another place and not be allowed to bring your family. The county magistrate lives in the county magistrate, the east flower hall lives in the county magistrate, and the west flower hall lives in the county magistrate. The small county does not send a county magistrate, and is generally the Dianshi (county magistrate) and is the head of the six gates of the county. The Dianshi is generally a martial arts practitioner recommended by local gentry. Once there is any chaos in the place, the Dianshi must be at the fortress. Therefore, the Dianshi in the border area is also a mission that no one wants to grab.

Huairou is located in the frontier, and Guo Pu is an honest official and has a low salary. Fortunately, there are some industries in his family, and he can ask someone to bring him some silver from time to time. He himself is unwilling to handle some money, so he actually continues to be re-elected after serving here for three years and cannot be promoted. He is a free and easy person and does not take these into consideration.

The next morning, several civil disputes were held in the Second Hall. It was nothing more than a family matter. Guo Pu liked to adjust it, and it was settled. But he heard that it was very lively outside the lobby. After asking carefully, it turned out that it was the people who heard that the heroes who came to fight the tigers came to the front of the yamen to watch the fun.

Guo Pu smiled slightly, took Wu Anguo's hand, walked out of the side door, and came to the front of the yamen to greet the people. The people saw Wu Anguo's figure and shouted in their hearts. Wu Anguo could not avoid grabbing the stone lion in front of the yamen and walked a few times. The entire yamen was immediately more lively than the festival. Several escorts from the escort agency were mixed in the crowd. They had heard that Wu Anguo was coming and wanted to come to make friends with Wu, but they didn't have the strength to stop their thoughts when they saw this. Some gangsters were also afraid and did not dare to make trouble on the street easily.

It is said that "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop", and Wu Anguo should show his face. After a few days of taking office, he was instructing Zhang Zhengxin's homework in the flower hall. The chief inspector Wang Hao hurriedly rushed in and shouted out in panting, "The big thing is not good, yes, there are robbers who are killing people in the street, refusing to arrest."

"Captain Wang, don't be anxious, just say it slowly." Wu Anguo put down the pen in his hand, comforted Captain Wang, grabbed the big bow and carried it on his back. Zhang Zhengxin handed the big knife while passing it over.

It turned out that Captain Zhao, in the provincial capital, led people to chase a thief and chased him here. He found that the thief was drinking in a restaurant and wanted to come forward to get people. Unexpectedly, the thief was alert, and he cut over a close constable with one knife and caught the hotel shopkeeper and acted as a hostage. Both sides were in a stalemate in the restaurant. After hearing this, Captain Wang hurried to report the message and asked Wu Anguo to find a way. If Captain Zhao rushed forward, the hotel shopkeeper would probably die, and the place would not be good. If the thief left, the border would be the Mongols' territory, and it would inevitably be a crime of dereliction of duty against Huairou County above.

The group hurried to the streets, and the people watching the fun surrounded the restaurant a little further away. When several gangsters saw Wu Anguo coming, they quickly flattered him and squeezed out a way.

The thief shouted on the stairs: "Zhao Wuji, you coward, if you have the ability, come up and fight me one-on-one. What a good man to bring so many helpers, if you don't have the ability, give way. If you don't have the ability, you will naturally release this fat man back when you arrive in Mongolia." He was a former army captain, who killed people drunk and was about to escape to Mongolia, but was stared at by Zhao Wuji. Seeing that there were many onlookers, he was very unhappy and shouted to the crowd: "What do you think? When I become a Mongolian official, I must lead troops back and destroy you one by one."

When Wu Anguo saw this man with a leopard head and eyes, he thought he was a hero. He didn't know if he should capture him. After hearing this sentence of surrendering to the Mongols, he was furious. He asked Captain Wang to go forward and greet Zhao Wuji, asking him not to hurry and lead people up and find a way to stabilize the thief first. He also called Zhang Zhengxin, let him do this, and then exit the crowd and go around to the opposite building.

The thief shouted for a long time, and saw that Zhao Wuji was not as anxious as before. The new captain beside him actually fought with him calmly, haha, and he felt alert. He used a knife to thrust the hotel shopkeeper slowly downstairs. The hotel shopkeeper was half a head lower than him, and had already been scared to his pants, his legs kept trembling, and he looked even shorter.

At the moment of stalemate, suddenly, someone shouted "ah" in front of the thief, like a ghost crying and howling. The thief was shocked and turned his head to look, but a boy was shouting with a sharp voice. When he realized he was deceived, it was too late. An arrow flew from the building opposite the left, hitting his neck, and the arrow passed by, and the castration had not subsided, nailing him to the wall.

The fat shopkeeper suddenly lost his restrictions. Gurulu rolled downstairs, flicked his eyes and was scared to death. Captain Wang quickly found someone to block the people and feed them water. Zhao Wuji led the people to the thief. The thief was already dead, and his eyes were still wide open. He didn't believe that there was such a fast arrow until his death.

The next day, Guo Pu praised Wu'anguo in public, and the servants also took two days off. Everyone hugged Wu'anguo to the restaurant to celebrate. Although Wu'anguo had only been here for a few days, he was very generous and had no airs, so he had a good reputation. When everyone got to the seat, the shopkeeper was supported by someone and rushed from home. He thanked him one by one, and naturally he was spared the money for drinking.

Just as he was drinking, Zhang Zhengxin came to report that Captain Zhao, who was in the provincial capital, brought a guest and waited in the county government. So everyone left the table and rushed back to the county government with Wang Hao and Li Ling. When they entered the door, they saw the greeting, Captain Zhao explained his purpose. Another guest came to Captain Zhao, a distant relative, surnamed Hu, who was a second shopkeeper under a business. When he heard that Captain Zhao met the tiger-beating hero, he came to visit him.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Manager Hu said politely that he wanted to see the skin of the White Tiger. Wang Hao was a long-term employee and was so smart. He immediately said, "Look at it, my Lord Dianshi is not short of money and will definitely not sell it."

When the tiger skin was taken out, even though Manager Hu was knowledgeable, he was so shocked that he sprinkled out the tea. Generally, tigers grew to this size and were rare. Moreover, they were the white tiger skin that was rare in a thousand years. What's more coincidental was that Wu Anguo was shooting the tiger's eyes at that time, so the tiger skin had no scar at all.

After watching for a while, Captain Zhao began to speak, "Brothers are really heroes. Yesterday an arrow flew in from the sky. I was very impressed by Zhao." Seeing Wu Anguo waved his hand and humble, he continued, "With brother's skills, he won't be able to win the position of Marquis of Wanhu. It's a pity that my relative's boss is a person from the capital (Nanjing, author's note). He can help you introduce it."

Wu Anguo has heard a lot about gaining fame and fortune. He was originally a person who was drifting with the flow and was not very enthusiastic about being an official, so he smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Wuji thought he was moved and continued, "Brothers are strong and it's useless to keep this tiger skin. It's better to give me a face and sell it to my relative. Of course, I won't treat it badly in terms of price."

Wang Hao was already furious at this time and cursed in his heart, Zhao Wuji, you are so shameless. Yesterday we tried our best to help you, and then you go back to receive the merits yourself. You don’t even have a thank you. Today I’m here to pay attention to this tiger skin. But Zhao Wuji is the top student in Peking Prefecture. I’m afraid that the county magistrate will not be able to stop offending him, so he turned red and his neck thick. He hummed and said, “This is a priceless treasure. If you don’t have a thousand taels of gold, you may not be able to sell it.” I thought to myself, I said a lot. Even though you are a big official, you can’t steal the things from our dictionary.

"It's okay, two thousand taels of gold, I don't know what Lord Dian Shi wants," said Manager Hu, who had not spoken, softly.

Wu'anguo had no idea how much is two thousand taels of gold. When he came to this world, he had no credit card. He only had this little reward silver, and there was no more money left. At that time, silver was expensive and the land was cheap, and one tael of silver could buy a mu of good rural land. He had never seen gold before. But looking at Wang Hao's stunned look, he knew that two thousand taels of gold must have exceeded the amount of psychological endurance of ordinary people. He didn't say much at the moment, and the two sides made a deal.

Manager Hu asked the followers to carry them into two boxes and opened them for Li Shanping to test. It was indeed Jinzi, which was of solid quality. He took the tiger skin and said goodbye to Zhao Wuji. The rest of the people in the room were surrounded by Jinzi in a daze.

After a while, Guo Pu was sent to invite Guo Pu. Even though his family was rich, he had never seen such a big number. He was confused about the identity of the customer who bought the tiger skin. Li Shanping was still quick-witted and whispered, "Brother Wu has no desire to make a name for himself. It may not be a good thing to keep the white tiger skin. It is just right to sell it." In his words, he specially added the word "white tiger". Guo Pu was so smart that he understood the whole story in an instant. He asked Wu Anguo to take out some silver and give it to Wang Hao and Li Ling, and thanked them for helping bargaining. By the way, they asked them to tell the matter of selling the tiger skin to save the poor. The two refused, collected the silver, and went home happily.

The Chinese ticket number first appeared during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. Wu'anguo could not enjoy the convenience of using silver tickets everywhere in martial arts novels. He guarded a pile of gold and didn't know how to deal with it. In the end, he had to ask Li Shanping to find a place to collect it properly. Fortunately, there was no thief in the county government office, and no thief dared to come here to steal it.

In any case, he became the richest man in Huairou County overnight, and his complimentaryness still made Wu Anguo very excited. In the 21st century, he dreamed of winning the lottery every time. Now that his dreams have come true, how can he be unhappy? After being happy, he gradually became worried. It has been more than two months since he was here. What he does in the future is indeed a problem of trouble. As a small dictionary, he often saw Zhao Wuji's face, which is indeed unhappy.

I will open a porridge factory. Wu Anguo remembered the jokes told by Mr. Ma Sanli. He mocked himself. Thinking about the happiest thing about himself is to be a teacher in the craftsman camp. Now that he has a decision, it is better to open a free school. If the knowledge he learned from the 21st century is handed over to the people here, I don’t know what effect it will be. In his sleep, Wu Anguo dreamed that he was the principal and countless students surrounded him. Maybe they will establish an equal, free, and prosperous country in the future? Wu Anguo was excited to think that the Ming Dynasty itself is just a toddler now.
Chapter completed!
