Seeing the guards brought by Jian'an Hou Mansion to build the camp in an orderly manner, and even take time out to help his guards build the camp, King Anyi felt that envious. As the guards, Wang Kuang brought the same number of guards as the ones he brought, but the tents needed by Wang Kuang were two or three more than Anyi, because Huang Da was not a guard, he and Chou Chou also had a separate tent, and Xu Guoxu's tent was all set up by the guards of Jian'an Hou Mansion. [ ] Huang Da's tent was right in front of Wang Kuang and Anyi tent. Further forward was the tents of Jian'an Hou Mansion, and the tents of Wang Kuang, Anyi tents and Xu Guoxu were in the innermost.

Four carriages, one carriage, one carriage, one carriage, and two Wang Kuang were all placed between Huang Da's tent and the guard's tent. This was also Huang Da's consideration. Since Chou Chou had to sleep with him at night, he could no longer rush forward in everything like before, so he used to use the carriage as a buffer. However, Chou Chou was unhappy and insisted on moving the carriage backward, saying that it affected his viewing of the scenery.

"Chou Chou, why are you so unaware of the matter?" Huang Da had a concern because of the previous arrow. Now, when he saw Chou Chou, he had a childish temper and his face darkened, he shouted, "For Chou Chou, Huang Da is both his uncle and his master, and he is still a little afraid of Huang Da. When he saw Huang Da angry, Chou Chou sat there in a daze in depressed mood.

"Dalang, just move the carriage to other places. The horse ran for several days but didn't wash it. It was sweating all over. It was easy to catch mosquitoes and flies in this mountainous area. It would be better to move it with other horses. Don't be so nervous. You also saw that it was just a bald arrow. If someone really had to do bad things to us, how could it just shoot that arrow? Wouldn't that give us some preparation time?" Wang Kuang's educational philosophy is different from others. Everyone is a child who is sensible and has to start enlightenment. Wang Kuang pays attention to let the flow. Children like to study and play, and never force it. This time, if it weren't for the entrusting of Wang Wuxiang, Wang Kuang would not have brought Chou Chou back to Jian'an from Fangling.

Although Xiao Wang Sheng was preparing to let Ma Zhou teach, in Wang Kuang's plan, Wang Sheng and Ma Zhou could only have one hour a day. For the rest of the time, Xiao Wang Sheng would play and like to study. After all, he was only five years old. When he was five years old, he was still playing with his neighbors with his friends. At present, there is no problem of extreme examination-oriented education. If you want to become a talent, you can join the army, you can follow the literature, or you can follow the craftsmanship like Pu Xiliang. As long as you can get recognized by the world in these fields, you are talented. Those Jinshi who were promoted by civil and military are indeed much easier than others to be promoted, but there are many opportunities without passing the imperial examination. The only thing you lack now is that the talent is still too narrow. However, this is also a tradition that has been formed since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and cannot be changed in a short time.

So whether it is Chou Chou, Xiao Wang Sheng, or Wang Xian back then, they all like to follow Wang Kuang because Wang Kuang never forces them to do things they don’t want to do.

Since Wang Kuang had spoken, Huang Da stopped insisting and asked the guard to move the carriage with the horse. Chou Chou then grinned and grimaced at Huang Da.

The camp was settled quickly, and it took a long time to make arrangements. Seeing that it was still early, two guards took the water naan and led the horses to find the water to wash the horses, and brought the water they wanted to use back. There was also a Sanbai who wanted to take a bath at night. Where there was a village, there must be a water source. Even if it was a small stream, it was not the Western Regions or the Guanzhong area. Whether it was a village or a city, most of them were not far from the stream.

The remaining guards brought sword bows and were ready to come back to get some wild game. Chou Chou was eager to try and follow him. This time, Wang Kuang refused. In the current forest, big insects were almost everywhere. In the few days they entered the mountain, they could hear tiger roars almost every day. Even if they had experienced battle formations like guards, those who had experienced life and death dared not act alone. If they wanted to bring Chou Chou, the guards would have to hunt and were distracted to take care of Chou Chou, there would inevitably be an accident.

Whether it is Chou Chou or guard, it is precious to Wang Kuang. If anyone has an accident, Wang Kuang will not want to see him. So no matter how strongly Chou Chou demands, Wang Kuang just refuses to agree.

Since entering the mountain, this team has been camping outside almost every day. They have encountered several villages on the road, but they are all small villages. Local farmers do not have so many rooms for them to stay, so they all find a place to camp next to the village. Only on the first night after entering the mountain, because they have not yet entered the mountain, they encountered a relatively large village with a large family with enough rooms at home, so there is a place to sleep.

This is not difficult for Wang Kuang, Huang Da and those guards. Wang Kuang was also a hiker in his later generations. It was common for him to go out for fun and camping, but it was a pain for Xu Guoxu and Anyi. How could they have suffered such pain? Xu Guoxu was better. After all, he had experienced eating in the wild with Wang Kuang from Jian'an to Chang'an. In addition, he also knew that after the fleet was formed next year, his life at sea would probably be more difficult for hundreds of times. Therefore, one was expecting fresh wild game, and the other was to do exercise for himself, so it was considered a pleasure in suffering.

Only King Anyi, he has never slept in the wild. No matter how smooth the ground in the wild is, how can he compare with the comfortable bed at home? So he has suffered so much these days, mainly because he asked to follow Wang Kuang back to Jian'an, rather than Wang Kuang invites him to accompany him. In this way, no matter how hard he is, he can only endure it.

Fortunately, in the past few days, King Anyi has really witnessed the survival ability of the Tang Dynasty soldiers in the wild. When he set out from Chang'an, in order not to encounter an emergency, he brought many canned foods and marching cakes, etc. from the Lin family shop at a "friendly price", and even a lot of rice and flour. As a result, the things he brought along were useless along the way. It was not just Wang Kuang who only ate Wang Kuang. In fact, every meal, whether it was in the wild or staying at the people's house, or even when he arrived at the inn, the guards under Wang Kuang would find ways to make some fresh things to eat, either fishing in the river or hunting in the wild. What surprised him even more was that the reed buds and wild flowers and weeds everywhere were so delicious after cooking.

After a few days, he became numb. On the third day, at Xu Guoxu's suggestion, he gave the canned food and other dry food he brought to the families who stayed along the way, which won him great favor from the owners. It was not that the owners were greedy for money, but that ordinary people brought with them, and that was difficult to buy. The things were not about how much money they were, but about how rare they were. Whenever they saw the excitement from the bottom of the faces of the people, An Yi felt relieved. He now understood what Jian'an Hou had done over the years.

It can be said that along the way, Wang Kuang unknowingly successfully pulled King An Yi from the arrogant mentality of the superiors, and became closer to the common people, making King An Yi deeply feel that the respect of the people who had gained by pressure in the face of this heartfelt respect is not worth mentioning at all.

Now that Wang Kuang's subordinates were going out to hunt again, King An Yi quickly ordered his guard to follow two more. Along the way, he was ashamed. Moreover, if his guard also learned a little, wouldn't it be more fun or easier to go out for a trip?

The hunters came back soon. The deeper they went into the mountains, the easier it was to get. Compared to the first day they first entered the mountain, there was no need to go far now. Just search the bushes and at least a few wild pheasant rabbits could be found. Wang Kuang asked the guards to hunt as much as they wanted. You should not be greedy for them. Of course, it is more comfortable to eat fresh food. How could they eat too much? They wouldn't eat more? They wouldn't have to finish eating leftovers.

Before it was dark, smoke rose from the camp. Wang Kuang's carriage was full of everything, and they were all collected in the compartment under the carriage seat. It can be said that there were at least several carriages like Jian'an Hou Mansion, all of which were used for such preparations. Not only the carriages of the Wang Kuang family, but also the carriages of the Lin family. Cheng Chumo and his family also had such preparations. Therefore, driving to the wild will not cause them to suffer.

"Huh? What is this?" Xu Guoxu walked to the carriage with nothing to do. He took out a bunch of triangular things tied with ropes from under the seat of the shaft in front of the carriage. He said, "It's just a bronze mirror, but it doesn't have such a big bronze mirror, and the surface is uneven. What's the use of it?"

"Oh, that's for you to use on the boat next year. You can't bring too much firewood on the boat. If you bring it with you, you can take up space. If you use this, as long as there is sun and the sun is enough, boil some water and cook something, and you don't have to turn on the stove and make a fire." Wang Kuang explained with a smile when he saw it.

This is the sun stove that Wang Kuang asked Pu Xiliang to spend time to help build. It uses the production process of copper mirrors. This sun stove also uses detachable technology. One large concave surface is divided into sixteen petals, and each petal is inlaid with corresponding concave thin copper mirrors. Many copper mirrors form a large concave mirror. They are assembled when needed. If they are not used, they are removed and tied up, and do not occupy a place.

It is unlikely to bring so much firewood on the boat, and it needs to be replenished along the way. If too much firewood is brought, one takes up space, and the other is that if there is no place to dock for one or two consecutive months, then firewood will appear precious. If you bring a sun stove on the boat, you can use the sun stove when there is sun. Although the temperature of cooking cannot be reached, steaming is competent. In this way, firewood can be saved to be used in rainy days.

The sun stove is not cheap. It took more than a dozen craftsmen more than three months to build this sun stove. This is also the first time they have made it. They have no experience. But now they have experience, and it is only a dozen craftsmen who can create one side more than a month. The main reason is that the adjustment of the spherical surface is more troublesome. It cannot diverge or gather too much. The most ideal effect of a sun stove with high efficiency is that the gathered light can be evenly distributed on the bottom of the pot.

"Can you boil water without firewood?" Xu Guoxu was even more curious and wanted to give it a try now.
