"It is not easy to make a full contribution to the Western Regions this time, and the old man can be regarded as doing another thing for Datang in his twilight years, this life is enough, enough!" Du Ruhui touched his beard with a happy smile on his face.

In order to distinguish the Western Regions Protectorate in the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty is called Anxi Protectorate, which is the territory of the entire Western Regions countries, and is responsible for managing the mutual exchanges between the Western Regions countries and the trade affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and does not participate in the internal affairs of the countries, but if there is any exchange between the countries, it needs to be completed under the witness of the Tang Dynasty.

In view of the actual situation, the Anxi Protectorate was very busy at the time of its creation, and the distance was long, and it would take some time to send officials from Chang'an, so he temporarily appointed Su Dingfang, who was stationed in the Western Regions, as the acting protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and had full authority to manage the affairs of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate until the arrival of Guo Xiaoke, the official protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

In addition, in order to cooperate with the identity of the first capital protector of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is only the acting capital protector, coupled with the great achievements made before and the high prestige in the countries of the Western Regions, Li Er Majesty ordered Jin to seal Su Dingfang as the duke of Wuyi County, located in the third-class duke, and added the title of Shangzhu State, worshiped General Zuo Wuwei, added 300 food and food, and gave countless money and rewards.

Since Li Er's accession to the throne, the first duke who was promoted by military merit was born.

Forty-two-year-old Su Dingfang came from behind, and finally stood in a position that he only got in another time and space knowing that he was in his fifties and almost sixty. Although his age is not young, if you look at the title, his title is still low among his peers, Cheng Yanjin, who is about the same age as him, and Li Shiji, who is two years younger than him, are already national dukes, second-class dukes, but he is only a county duke, but if you count the time of promotion, he can definitely be regarded as a rocket-like speed.

Four years ago, with the merit of breaking the Eastern Turks, he was promoted from a white body to an earl with Suning, and then promoted to a marquis in other battles, and finally promoted to a duke in the battle to destroy Tuyuhun. It took four years before and after. Compared with most of the founding heroes, it is very fast, and many people can see the truth in this.

The first protector of the first capital of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is an agent. But he really holds the real power. He was the first, and by the time Guo Xiaoke took over from him, several months had passed. After he has done everything he should do, he can lead the army back to the division and enjoy fame, fortune and power, and as the first person to pacify the Western Regions, he has a high prestige among the high-level people in the Western Regions.

The so-called immeasurable future refers to this kind of person, from the very beginning of the black five categories to become today's duke, Su Dingfang spent four years to complete the road that others can't finish in a lifetime, maybe there is Suning's credit, but even in the time and space without Suning, Su Dingfang still did this, even at the age of the sixtieth year, he still went into battle, fought in the Quartet, and became the general of the Tang Dynasty, although he was never treated by the government and the opposition because of the problem of his background, but his merits could not be erased.

When Suning heard the news, he was already on the way back to Chang'an, and he was relieved, and he didn't lose his calculations for the Tang Dynasty, Li Ermaxi was still a little conscientious, Suning smiled with satisfaction, and began to enjoy the surrounding scenery, Du Ruhui was naturally very happy, he was half of his body in the ground, and he could still make such a contribution to the Tang Dynasty in his twilight years, he was already very satisfied.

Listening to his words, Suning couldn't help laughing: "Du Xiangnian is less than fifty years old, where can he be called a twilight year?" Why are you so self-indulgent? Huang Zhong is still seventy and Xiahou is still in China, Lian Po is eighty and can still enter the rice every day, Cao Mengde martyr is in his twilight years, his heart is strong, Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambition is thousands of miles, Du Xiang, what do you say? ”

Du Ruhui smiled and sighed, shook his head and said: "Don't comfort the old man, the old man's life is still snatched back by you, if it weren't for you, the old man would have died four years ago, and now he can take back a life, he can live for four more years, and he can contribute to the Tang Dynasty and make great contributions, the old man is satisfied, even if he loses his life right now, the old man will not complain, live one more day, according to you, it is all earned." ”

Suning looked at Du Ruhui and didn't say anything, Du Ruhui's body bones have always been bad, coronary heart disease can be treated with ginkgo biloba, but with the additional diseases caused by long-term illness and weakness, it is not so easy to cure, Du Ruhui is also a workaholic, once he gets to do business, he is good at health care, but he is inferior, so Fang Xuanling can live more than ten years longer than him.

Suning didn't dare to pack a ticket Du Ruhui must have lived for a long time, every time Sun Simiao checked Du Ruhui's body, he would vaguely reveal to Suning that Du Ruhui's situation was not too good, Suning kept looking for the secret recipe of Chinese medicine during this time, hoping to find a prescription to supplement the vitality and cure the fundamentals, but there was still nothing to gain, looking at Sun Simiao's meaning, Du Ruhui's lifespan was not too long.

But the only thing that makes Suning feel relieved is that Du Ruhui sees it very openly, he thinks that he is already a person who has died once, if there is no Suning, he would have been a dry bone in the grave, and now he can live for four more years and contribute to Datang for four more years, he is already very satisfied, even if he dies now, he will not have any complaints, so looking at Du Ruhui's satisfied and quiet smile, Suning can't say anything......

"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, Xi is far away, no teaching, sex is migration, the way of teaching, you are specialized in ......"

When I went to a desolate place, when I came back, it was already the spring ploughing season, Guanzhong thousands of miles of fertile soil was full of green, full of vitality, everywhere you could see the farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky working hard, although it was hard, but from their faces they could see a smile, they were very satisfied.

When passing through a green field, in addition to the hard-working farmers, Suning and the others actually heard a burst of young children collectively reciting the "Three Character Classic" from a distance, and the crisp children's voice made everyone except Suning stunned, it was Suning. I also feel infinite joy in my heart.

Subsequently, everyone realized that this is one of the first townships in Datang to popularize Mongolian learning, and it is not strange to hear the sound of young children reading collectively here, but in all their lives so far, they have never dared to encounter this kind of thing, but now they have really encountered it, where can they deal with it calmly?

Du Ruhui pulled the reins and told the horse to stop. Everyone in the whole team also stopped. Listening to the sound of reading that he had never heard before, Du Ruhui slowly closed his eyes, with a satisfied smile on his face, for a short time. Tears rolled down his face. It's not just Du Ruhui. Even many of the students of the Zongheng Division who had read were in tears, and the guards were sighing and envious, envying that these young children could have books to read. Someone educates.

"The old man has wasted fifty years, until now, it is really no regrets, Sanming, the old man wants to thank you, on behalf of the people who have books in the world to thank you, once upon a time, there is a book called extravagance, read a book is not to think about it, meet a teacher who can educate children, that is the ancestral tomb smoke, compared to the sky is not simple, the old man never dared to have today.

Confucius smells Yale, can not know the taste of meat in March, but the most wonderful Yale in the world, is not worthy of the sound of young children reading, Sanming, the old man is reluctant to die, reluctant, can hear this sound, the old man is really reluctant, reluctant, if you can one day, in any corner of the Tang Dynasty, you can hear the sound of reading, then the old man can die without regrets, and die well. ”

Suning looked at Du Ruhui, who was already in tears, and the students of the Zongheng Division who were also in tears, and sighed in his heart, the arrival of this day is a miracle in the hearts of all Datang people, in the past, it was something that could not be imagined, but now, it is a real thing, this scene, let the whole world wait for thousands of years to wait, this scene, it is not easy to come by......

"There is no one in the world who is illiterate, no one who does not know books, this is the promise of His Majesty, and it is also the promise of Datang to all the people, and it is also the ideal that my generation will achieve in his life, of course, this may take many years, and even in my lifetime, I will not see the arrival of this day, but Ning is also willing to pay a qiē for this, and when Ning is old, he can no longer contribute to the Tang Dynasty in the court, so he will return to his hometown, be a teacher in his hometown, be an enlightenment teacher, and teach the young children there to read and learn words, Teach them the truth of being a person and doing things, and at that time, Ning will definitely be very happy. ”

Suning smiled at Du Ruhui, Du Ruhui nodded with a smile, wiped away the tears on his face, and said: "Being a teacher is much more meaningful than shooting a right servant, Sanming, the old man now hopes that he can live for another ten years, if he can live for another ten years, the old man will spend five years to complete what he can do, and then use five years to return to his hometown and be an enlightenment teacher, then the old man will be really satisfied, really satisfied." ”

Suning said: "You will definitely live another ten years, you will definitely be able to." ”

Du Ruhui laughed, while laughing, tears couldn't stop flowing out, and Suning couldn't help but shed tears, this era is the best era, but also the most challenging era......

Subsequently, Du Ruhui walked around this small village, working in the fields with strong laborers, raising livestock in their yards, feeding chickens, ducks and pigs, women getting together in twos and threes doing needlework, or washing clothes and vegetables by the clear stream, and even holding young children who were too young to speak to wash their bodies, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The enlightenment teachers sent to these places were very conscientious, and when they arrived in the township, they were infected by the simple villagers, washed the lead, changed into the most simple clothes, held books, and read the "Three Character Classic" over and over again with a group of young children of different sizes.

Occasionally, a few naughty and mischievous people who are not good at reading will be seen by sharp-eyed teachers, with a black face to let the young children stretch out their hands, and hit them three times with a ring ruler, which caused a burst of jokes among the surrounding school children, and also made Du Ruhui and others laugh for a while, although this strength is not large, but it makes Suning depressed for a while, these teachers who were educated by Kong Yingda have obviously also learned Kong Yingda's tricks to deal with disobedient children - the secret technique of disobedience and disobedience and not good reading will use the ring ruler to kill you......

Children who are too young, about three or four years old, are not attentive, it is normal, looking east and west to be full of curiosity, at this time the mother who is with him will poke his head with her fingers, look at the teacher carefully, and then say something in the child's ear, which will calm the child......

"Our future, the future of Datang, is in this group of children, when they grow up and understand the truth of being a person and doing things, Datang will have a steady stream of inheritors, these children will continue to walk the road we have not finished, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and inherit it endlessly." The smile on Du Ruhui's face became brighter and brighter...... (To be continued......)
