Chapter 143 'Five Tiger Generals'???
Wuyun County

The snow in front of the county government office was swept away, but the turmoil caused by the case of the village treasurer some time ago has not yet subsided.

What could be heard from the streets was the people's discussions.

Some people said, "Previously, officials were corrupt and the county government never punished them. I never expected that General Liu would really do what he said."

Someone responded to this person, 'Is this the first time you meet General Liu?'

Someone else echoed, "That's right, General Liu is different from others!"

"clap clap"

In the end, all the discussions faded away with the explosions caused by the burning bamboo. Children chasing each other whizzed past in front of the eyes. Some naughty boy threw a snowball, which hit the leading child on the head. The child accidentally sat down in the snow, smiling foolishly with snot in his nose, which made his companions and passers-by laugh out loud.

"Xiaozhi, I thought Mengqi was ignorant, but how come you have become like Mengqi? What if you throw snowballs at people and get them hurt?!"

Sun Qian looked at Fa Zheng, sighed, and shook his head slightly. As the most knowledgeable person at the moment, he was undoubtedly responsible for the elementary school in the county. No, to be more precise, it was the elementary school work in multiple counties.

In the past he complained about his mentor's nagging, but now he has been engaged in this field, and after only a few months' work, he has become close to his mentor. At this moment, he can understand his mentor's feelings. It is okay to help soldiers become illiterate, but he is worried about children. Even though he can solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the counties, it is extremely difficult to persuade the people to let their children go to school. In the eyes of the people, shouldn't children help with housework?

Sun Qian spent a lot of time and effort to persuade the clerk, but in the end he was no match for the clerk who said, "This is a decree issued by General Liu."

After constant trial and error, Sun Qian finally understood the reasons and knew what to do. In the final analysis, the people were worried and anxious about the future. If children could take on housework as soon as possible, they could share the pressure. They were natural laborers, so they should work harder while the current situation was good.

What if there is a disaster? Wouldn’t the whole family starve to death?
When the people heard that it was Liu Bei's order, most of them followed suit.
These are all names of people and shadows of trees.
But, we can't just keep mentioning the lord's name, right?
Sun Qian gritted his teeth and resolutely exempted the child from tuition, saying that when he succeeded in his studies, he would plant a mulberry tree outside the county.
In addition, he also promised the people that he would cover the children's meals in the school, teach them in the morning, and send them home in the afternoon.
Among all the children, Sun Qian paid special attention to Fa Zheng, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Huang Xu.

The first three were wise ministers who helped their lord in his dream. As for Huang Xu, General Huang’s only son, he was equally important.

Among these four people, the ones who gave Sun Qian the most headaches were Ma Chao and Ma Dai. When the other children made trouble, Sun Qian, who had been trained for a long time, was enough to knock them all down. However, facing Ma Chao and Ma Dai together, Sun Qian felt powerless. Fortunately, Huang Zhong would pass by with his soldiers from time to time, and gradually Ma Chao and Ma Dai calmed down.

I never expected that it would be Fa Zheng who caused trouble this time!
Seeing this, Fa Zheng lowered his head obediently. No matter how much Sun Qian kept nagging him, he didn't want to show any annoyance to him. After all, this guy followed his master all the way from Xuzhou. Even now, he traveled through mountains and rivers from Qingzhou to Xiliang. How could he not be moved and admired? !

Fa Zheng said ashamedly: "Mr. Sun, this person passed by the county government and heard that the lord fell to the ground and fainted. He was still laughing foolishly. I... I really couldn't help it..."

"Xiaozhi, this is wrong, as the sage said." Sun Qian began to nag, and Fa Zheng stood up obediently, with his ears perked up and his head buried, listening to Sun Qian's scolding.

This surprised the three people who were hiding and peeking at the scene, especially Ma Dai, who sighed, "The Minister of Chancellery was defeated by Mr. Sun. What should we do? Brother, why don't you say anything?"

Huang Xu said, "Fourth brother, Third brother, let's wait and see before we make any decisions." Ma Chao nodded, "Xu, that makes sense."

“All right.” Ma Dai muttered, “It’s all because of that Pang Tong I’ve never met. He made me rank fourth. How abominable! I must meet him someday!”

Sun Qian didn't know how long he had been talking until his lips were dry. Seeing that Fa Zheng looked sincere and that he knew his mistakes and could correct them, he already felt sorry for Fa Zheng's early death in his dream and didn't want to blame the future Marquis of Yi too much, so he waved his hand.

"That's all, Xiaozhi, you should go to the county government to visit the lord."

"!"

Fa Zheng looked up in astonishment, his face flushed, and then he quickly bowed to Sun Qian, "Thank you, Mr. Sun!"

Sun Qian was silent about Fa Zheng's thanks, but his slightly raised mouth corners still revealed his mood. As if to cover up his feelings, he coughed a few times, shifted his gaze to the three little ones sticking their heads out from the door, and suddenly became serious.

"Why are you three still here? How did you do in today's class? Did you understand it?"

Ma Chao was always stubborn. He stepped forward and said, "Mr. Sun, it's not that we don't want to. I, Shangshu Ling, Dai, Xu, and the masked Pang Xiaoniao, are brothers. We don't ask to be born on the same day, but we ask to die on the same day! If you let Shangshu Ling and Second Brother go, then you should let us go too!"

"."

Sun Qian looked at Ma Chao deeply. He had some understanding of the sworn brotherhood drama, but he didn't know the details. Anyway, the three of them liked the weak Huang Xu very much. It was not known whether it was Ma Chao or Ma Dai who suggested that they make a Guan Yu out of mud and kowtow to him several times. Together with Pang Tong who was far away in Jingzhou, they became brothers. Pang Tong was the oldest, Fa Zheng was the second, and Huang Xu was the youngest. Together with the two brothers Ma Chao and Ma Dai, they were known as the Five Tiger Generals.
Thinking of these people known as the Five Tigers, Sun Qian felt a strange feeling in his heart. It must be said that Fa Zheng, Ma Chao and Ma Dai were extremely kind to Huang Xu and really treated him like their own brother. But someone was chased and beaten by Fa Zheng, Ma Chao and Ma Dai just because he mocked Huang Xu.

Huang Zhong was deeply moved by this, so whenever Ma Chao and Ma Dai skipped school, they would be caught by Huang Zhong immediately.
Sun Qian asked the reason.

Huang Zhong said: "I just didn't have much education, that's why I didn't get promoted. Chao and Dai have the opportunity to study, and they will not only be brave generals in the future, but also gentlemen! I am repaying my gratitude!"

Sun Qian thought about it and felt that it seemed to make sense.

Shaking his head and temporarily discarding the thoughts in his mind, Sun Qian said, "How about this, no matter who among you three is, as long as you can answer my question, you can go with Xiaozhi, how about that?"

The three of them looked at each other, then looked at Sun Qian and nodded heavily.

"bring it on!"
