Chapter 425: Managing Food, Having Money
For the renovation of the underground palace, in fact, it has not stopped since the discovery of the underground palace, and Li Qi felt from the beginning that this place would become a very important place, a place that could save his life.
Although Dachu is in such a situation now, it is not as chaotic as Jizhou in many places in the south of the Yangtze River.
The situation in Jizhou can be called the most complicated situation in the Central Plains, and the princes from all walks of life should be preparing to go south is the right way, but now they are all inexplicably swept into Jizhou.
First, the Yanzhou Army was defeated by the Youzhou Army, followed by the Jizhou Army defeating the Qingzhou Army, then the Yuzhou Army defeating the Jizhou Army, and then the Qingzhou Army and the Yuzhou Army joined forces to force the Jizhou Army back into the city of Jizhou.
The situation here is much more lively than that in Jiangnan.
Now the situation in Jiangnan has stabilized a lot under the strong sweep of Prince Wu, and the new emperor Yang Jing pinned all his hopes on Prince Wu.
He knows one thing very well, as long as Prince Wu is given enough attention and enough power, Prince Wu will definitely be able to continue to win battles.
Just because Prince Wu is the undefeated god of war of Great Chu.
There are many forces in the south of the Yangtze River, and now the states are not moving, and no one wants to go to the first confrontation with Prince Wu, and they are all looking forward to others going to fight first, and they will watch the excitement.
The rebels from all walks of life are looking for a place to retreat, and if they can avoid it, they won't fight, and wait and see what happens.
That is, here in Jizhou, I can't wait to fight every day.
Not to mention the several extremely strong teams in Jizhou now, let's just say that the Yanshan Battalion that has not yet entered the game, the Youzhou Army that wants to enter the game, plus the Yanzhou Army that has returned but is still not to be underestimated, these few teams that have not yet entered the game, if they are pulled to the south of the Yangtze River, they can set off a bloody storm.
If such a powerful force as Yanshan Camp appears in Jiangnan, I am afraid that its impact will be much greater than it is now.
Therefore, the most important thing Li Qi has thought about in the past few years is not to fight, but to do his best to survive.
Mr. Lee wrote in the book he gave him...... In the early stage of a major change, the earlier the forces enter the game, the sooner they will be out.
In the early days of troubled times, there is no need to think too much about how to defeat one enemy after another, because there are many people who think the same way.
When you enter the game a little later, you find that many of the enemies you wanted to break your scalp and didn't think of a good way to defeat have been eliminated.
Mr. Li refers to this strategy as "Sticking".
Li Qi didn't really understand what Gou meant, but he felt that Mr. Li's strategy was extremely subtle.
Doesn't it seem like this is just a cowardice, but after thinking about it, you will understand how important survival in the early stage is to compete in the later stage.
Li Qi still has no doubt that if a person like Mr. Li wants to participate in person, he will definitely become the one who wins in the end.
However, Mr. Li only wants to raise pigs.
In the dungeon, Li Qi, who had already carried things many times, was a little tired, so he sat down and rested for a while.
Tang Pidi sat down next to him and looked at the Condor and the dog in the distance who were adapting to the new environment, and there was some confusion in his eyes.
What was a little surprising was that the Condor didn't seem to care at all about such a dark environment, but the dog, who had always been arrogant, seemed a little nervous, squatting on the back of the Condor and not moving.
He suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that in different places and different situations, some words will even change their meaning." ”
Li Qi asked, "For example?" ”
Tang Pidi pointed to the Condor and the dog: "If you say that a person is inferior to a pig and a dog in another place, it must be a scolding word, but in our place, if you want to say that a pig and a dog are not as good, it doesn't seem to be so scolding......"
Those two goods, a behemoth of more than 1,000 catties, and a fierce king of hunting.
"Have you figured out what position to give to Luo Jing?"
Don asked.
Li Qi nodded and said: "In order to be safe, let's disconnect from the middle of the passage, we will use it ourselves, and the other side is under the Shen Medical Hall, give that side to Luo Jing for use, and the exit is in the Shen Medical Hall, we will take the initiative." ”
Tang Pi said: "I think so too. ”
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
"You'll go out in a moment, Luo Jing
He also said that he was going to visit you today. ”
Tang Pidi smiled and said, "Zeng Ling has to coax you, and Luo Jing has to coax you even more." ”
Li Qi sighed: "Is it really that good to be coaxed? ”
Tang Pidi glanced at him: "Isn't it good to be coaxed?" ”
Li Qi said: "Then you go, this feeling is left to you to enjoy." ”
Tang Pidi: "Again?" ”
Li Qi smiled and said, "You go to deal with Luo Jing, and I will deal with something else." ”
Tang Pi said: "Let's talk about what you want to deal with first, if I look good, let's change." ”
Li Qi pointed to the distance: "I'm thinking, how to bring in the water of the Xiaojing River that flows through the outside, it can't be too obvious, our underground palace already lacks nothing, only water......"
Tang Pi said: "I even forgot about the water source...... But digging a river to divert water is such an obvious thing, as long as you do it, you will immediately be targeted. ”
Li Qi said: "There will always be a way, but I haven't thought that relatively speaking, the problem of water source is much bigger than the problem of seeing Luojing, so I will deal with the difficult ones, and you will deal with the easy ones." ”
Tang Pi said: "Only a fool will believe you, you go to deal with Luo Jing, and I will find a way to deal with the water source." ”
Li Qi said: "The water source side will be more tired, it's all hard work, or I'll come." ”
Tang Pi said: "The more you say it is so sincere and high-sounding, the more I don't believe you, so you go to deal with Luo Jing." ”
Li Qi got up: "Then let's do it." ”
Tang was stunned, he suddenly felt that something might not be right, was he being calculated by Li Qi again?
After Li Qi left the underground palace to wait for Luo Realm, Tang Pi was sure that he was really calculated by Li Qi, and Li Qi just wanted him to do this.
He walked to the depths of the dungeon, and when he saw Yu Jiuling looking at him and laughing, Tang Pidi couldn't help but ask, "Are you laughing at a fart?" ”
Yu Jiuling said: "I'm not laughing at a fart, it's not complete, I'm laughing at a." ”
Don felt that something must not be quite right.
Yu Jiuling said: "Li Qi said let me wait for you here, he said that hundreds of people live here, and they want to solve the matter of, pee and fart, people are actually fine, we have a lot of livestock, they can pull much more than people, the problem of the location of this pit and how to deal with it will be handed over to you." ”
Tang Pidi stood there for a long time, thinking that he could really be the boss.
Nanping River is about one hundred and fifty miles to the north, and Zhang Yuxu, who has been walking for two days, glanced at Peng Seventeen, who was almost out of strength, and said in a very disgusted tone: "What are you really doing?" ”
Peng Seventeen said: "The salutes we bring are not the same, I carry a bigger weight than you, of course I walk slower than you." ”
Zhang Yuxu said: "Fart, you are just a small package, there is no money in it, my package is bigger than yours, and there is silver to weigh it." ”
Peng Seventeen said: "I'm seventeen, I'm panicking." ”
Zhang Yuxu flew up.
Peng Seventeen said: "How much silver do we have?" ”
Zhang Yuxu said: "It's not a problem to go to Jizhou, but you still have to find a way to make some money." ”
Peng Qiqi thought for a while and said, "What kind of business can we do to make money?" ”
Zhang Yuxu squinted at Peng Qiqi, and then the corners of his mouth raised, and Peng Qiqi felt that things were not good when he saw his obscene appearance.
Zhang Yuxu said: "I can sell you, and then you can run out by yourself." ”
Peng Qiqi snorted: "Let's not talk about why you sell me, just say how can I sell it?" Who buys me what to do, what do I do, eat better than anyone else, buy me back as a pet? ”
Zhang Yuxu smiled obscenely.
"That's it, you're seventeen."
Peng Qiqi thought about it, blushed, and scolded: "You are shameless!" ”
Zhang Yuxu said: "But this is a clever plan......
An hour later, after entering the county seat, Zhang Yuxu and Peng Qiqi stopped in a crowded place, Zhang Yuxu made a look, and Peng Qiqi immediately fell down, constantly convulsing.
Zhang Yuxu hurriedly went over
, said loudly: "This passerby, what's wrong with you?" It doesn't look like he's sick. ”
Peng Seventeen's limbs trembled, and after a while, his eyes rolled and a stream of white foam came out of his mouth, and then he didn't move.
Zhang Yuxu took out a medicine bottle, did not save people first, but held the medicine bottle and said: "Look, this person has almost no breath, fortunately, I have the elixir of Longhu Mountain, only one is needed to save people." ”
He poured out a pill and stuffed it into Peng Seventeen's mouth, and Peng Seventeen sat up after a moment with a look of surprise.
"Wow, what's going on?! What's wrong with me?! Did I just die? Who saved me?! ”
Zhang Yuxu said: "It is you who saved you by this." ”
He held the jade bottle and said in a loud voice: "This is the elixir I have carefully prepared, and one can bring the dead back to life." ”
The two of them performed for a long time, and found only a bearded big brother standing there watching them.
Zhang Yuxu asked: "This big brother, you can be regarded as witnessing a miracle with your own eyes. ”
The big brother looked at him and said with a smile.
"Stupid criticism."
And then gone.
Peng Qiqi sighed: "You can't do this trick." ”
At this moment, there was a cry in front of me, and an old man suddenly fell to the ground, as if he had fainted.
Zhang Yuxu hurriedly rushed over, separated the onlookers, squatted beside the old man and grabbed his hand to check the pulse, and then asked the crying little girl next to him: "What's wrong with the old man?" ”
The little girl called out to the old man and said, "Grandpa hasn't eaten for several days, and he fainted while walking. ”
Zhang Yuxu hurriedly took out the medicine bottle just now, the medicine bottle was very large, and the pill was also very large, one could be the size of a pigeon's egg.
He pinched the old man's mouth, melted the pill with water, and then fed the old man a lot of pills.
Not long after, the old man woke up slowly, smashed his mouth, looked at his granddaughter suspiciously, and asked, "Is there a kind person who feeds me porridge?" ”
Zhang Yuxu's face was not red, but he was embarrassed to say that it was the elixir he had refined.
Another half hour later.
Peng Qiqi glanced at Zhang Yuxu: "I didn't make any money, and I gave almost all of your money to the grandfather and grandson, we can't even afford to buy a baked cake now." ”
Zhang Yuxu sighed: "Save people ......"
Peng Qiqi looked at the big medicine bottle he was holding in his hand, opened it and poured it out, and poured out three or four.
"The cornmeal is gone......"
At this moment, the little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old ran over and called out to them, and when they looked back, the little girl ran to them and bowed down to them.
"Thank you two for saving your life."
Zhang Yuxu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no." ”
The little girl thanked her vigorously, and Peng Seventeen said: "You are also hard-working, is the silver you just gave you enough?" Not enough we have some here. ”
He reached out and took Zhang Yuxu's money bag and stuffed it into the little girl's hand: "Take your grandfather to find a place to settle down and recuperate, he is old, don't run around for the time being." ”
Then he looked at the big cornmeal pills, and stuffed them into the little girl: "Eat a few when you're hungry......"
The little girl left with a thousand thanks, this time it was Zhang Yuxu who looked at Peng Qiqi: "There are not a few copper coins left, and you have given them all again." ”
Peng 17 said: "Save ...... people"
The two glanced at each other, and Zhang Yuxu sighed: "Let's not think about deceiving people, with your and my abilities...... Not quite right. ”
At this moment, a businessman-like person came over and asked with a smile: "The two Taoist leaders are so kind-hearted, I am short of people around me, and I want to escort some things to Jizhou, if the two of them are willing, the reward will not be less." ”
Peng 17 asked, "Transporting what?" ”
The merchant replied, "I am a purchaser from Tongyuan Carriage and Horse Company in Yongning, Jizhou City, and I have just bought a batch of medicinal herbs to be shipped back to Jizhou. ”
Peng Qiqi looked at Zhang Yuxu: "Take care of the rice, you have money." ”
Zhang Yuxu nodded: "It's done." ”
