Volume 1: Luoyang Fengyun in the Troubled Times Chapter 8 Fortune
The next day, in the morning, after waiting for Xi Zhicai to get up, he found that Li Zhi and the two were actually boxing.
Xi Zhicai became interested and asked
"What kind of punch is this?"
"This is the Taijiquan passed down by my brother to Jia"
Guo Jia spoke first, and then seemed to think of something, and asked Xi Zhicai with a smile
"Brother Zhicai, would you like to practice together?"
"This boxing method looks ordinary, but it is very beneficial to the body, Brother Zhicai's body is thin and weak, wouldn't it be a pity not to learn?"
Guo Jia strongly recommends Xi Zhicai to learn Tai Chi.
"Kindness, loyalty also come to learn."
Xi Zhicai was itchy by him, so he also joined in to learn Tai Chi.
Xi Zhicai's talent is no worse than Guo Jia, and he will be able to play a complete set of Tai Chi by himself in a short time.
After he finished playing, Li Zhi took Guo Jia to go for a run, and Guo Jia spoke at this time.
"Brother Zhicai is not together?"
Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Running can also exercise?"
Xi Zhicai asked Li Zhi with a puzzled face.
"Yes!"
Before Li Zhi could speak, Guo Jia interjected
"Jia's body used to be inferior to Brother Zhicai, but now after more than ten days of exercise, Brother Zhicai looks"
As he spoke, he clenched his fist and bent it upward, listening to Li Zhi say that this action represented strength, he thought it was very interesting, so he learned it.
"Hmm...... However, Zhong is with the two of them. ”
Under Guo Jia's expectant eyes, Xi Zhicai finally agreed.
When they ran halfway, Xi Zhicai finally knew why Guo Jia had a bad smile before?
Halfway through the run, Xi Zhicai was out of breath, and his whole body was embarrassed, and slowly Xi Zhicai stopped trying to calm his breathing.
Guo Jia saw him stop, and he also stopped, and then slowly trotted around him.
I saw Guo Jia laughing
"Brother Zhicai stopped after only half of running, his body is so weak, could it be that he was damaged by the woman of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion? Hey, hey, hey..."
"Whew...... Whoosh...... You... You... Thou shalt be a villain, not a son of man! ”
"Hey, hey, hey... Even if the villain has ambition, it is also ambition, Brother Zhicai...... Oops......"
Just when Guo Jia was about to joke about the talent, Li Zhi couldn't get used to his villain's appearance, so he gave his head a look.
"Brother Xian is so fierce and vigorous, it can be seen that there is still strength left, if you finish running in a while, you can run another lap with your brother"
After Li Zhi gave him a brain jump, he said to him angrily.
"Don't run, don't run, Jia is extremely tired."
As soon as Guo Jia heard that he was going to run, he immediately shook his head and pretended to be weak.
Li Zhi didn't care about him playing treasure, looked at Xi Zhicai and asked
"Brother Zhicai, do you still have the strength to finish the following distance?"
Xi Zhicai is also a tough person, gritted his teeth and nodded
"However, Zhong still has the strength to run the whole race."
In the end, Xi Zhi came to the finish line half-running and half-walking.
After the three of them had finished running, washed up, and walked to their respective cases, a servant brought out the meal.
Xi Zhicai took a look at the sky, and it was not time to eat the morning meal.
Out of curiosity, he asked
"You two are going to eat at this time?"
"It's not morning food, it's breakfast."
Guo Jia held a fritter in his hand, and said with a piece in his mouth.
"What is breakfast?"
"This is the rule set by my brother, I will eat breakfast in the morning after washing and exercising, lunch at noon, and dinner when it is dark."
"Don't talk about it, Zhicai come and eat breakfast."
Li Zhi took a few fritters for Xi Zhicai, and said with a bowl of soy milk.
Xi Zhicai looked at the breakfast that Li Zhi pushed to his case, and he also felt hungry and thirsty, so he also ate it.
When the three of them had eaten their fill, there was a commotion outside.
When the three of them went out to take a look, they saw a crowd of people outside, but it turned out that Guo De had returned, and when he went, he was driving twenty carts.
This time when he came back to see that the scale was not less than a hundred, but he didn't know where he got so many carriages, and the cars were followed by a dense crowd, Li Zhi was full of doubts in his heart, so he asked
"Dade, is this going well?"
Guo De saw that Li Zhi was asking him, hurriedly got out of the car, and saluted Li Zhi
"If you go back to the master, the trip is very smooth, but because when you come back, there are not enough carts to pull food.
The villain took it upon himself to buy eighty carts and eighty horses, and asked his master to atone for his sins. ”
"It's okay, this is a serious matter, how can I blame you, you can spread the news I asked you to spread?"
Before Guo De left, Li Zhi had told him to spread the news of the recruitment of homeless people here.
"Master Qiqi, it's all been scattered, and on the way back, I met a group of homeless people who brought them back, these are the things."
As he spoke, he pointed to the group of people who were following their cart.
Li Zhida took a look and found that there were indeed many people he didn't know, dressed in rags, and his face was as yellow as firewood.
Seeing these people, Li Zhi sighed deeply, not for anything else, just because Li Zhi didn't see any hope on their faces, only thick despair and boundless numbness.
But what needs to be done still has to be done. Li Zhi instructed Guo Dedao
"Go and take him to the open space behind the village, now in early summer, I am not afraid that he will freeze.
Set up some grass huts for them to live there temporarily, and take two jars of wine to poison the wounded and the wounded, just as I disinfected the hunters that day.
They are not allowed to enter Guojia Village, and they are not allowed to enter after a period of time. ”
"Tell him to wait, it's not that Guojia Village doesn't take him in, but you need to tell if he has a disease and plague."
"Also, separate him and the other men and women, and let him wait for a bath."
"Toileting is also centralized"
"Hmmm......"
There was only one pause at this point, and then he continued
"In addition, the most important thing now is to set up a big pot of steamed rice to cook rice, he has been hungry for a long time, and he can't eat more than one meal at the first time, just a bowl of rice porridge."
Speaking of this, Li Zhi glanced at De, and then said
"You wait for a few people to watch them, if there are people who rely on themselves to rob food and teach me a hard lesson, now is not the time to be soft-hearted, can you understand?"
"Whoa!"
Several people replied together.
After he finished speaking, Guo Jia and Zhicai also counted their belongings.
Xi Zhicai frowned and knew about Li
"Brother Xing, this time it is a big profit to sell wine, but most of them are replaced by wine, and only forty percent are exchanged for grain
One percent of them needs to be reserved for the villagers of Guojia Village, two percent for brewing wine, and the remaining one percent is not enough for more than 1,000 refugees. ”
Li Zhi thought for a moment and asked
"How many days can this grain feed these more than 1,000 refugees?"
"If you just drink porridge to survive, you can eat it for fifteen days."
"Hmm... In this way, one percent of the grain will be made into wine, one percent of the grain will be given to the victims, and the remaining one percent will be used as a reserve. ”
"The victims don't have to drink porridge every day, two porridges a day, one meal is enough, if there is not enough food, they can use the reserve grain first, and then sell wine in ten days, and then the food will be much more abundant."
"Goodness"
Xi Zhicai nodded in kindness, in fact, Xi Zhicai just wanted to see how Li Zhi treated those disaster victims.
After all, I heard Guo Jia say that although he and Li Zhi are sworn brothers, they have not known each other for a few days, and they don't know anything about Li Zhi's past, so today Xi Zhicai came to test him.
Xi Zhicai, who got a satisfactory answer from himself, left happily, but Li Zhizai fell into deep thought.
"Now there are only more than 1,000 victims, and there is almost not enough food, so what about more than 10,000 or tens of thousands in the future?"
"And these victims can't be accommodated in just one winery.
The foundation of these victims who can survive is not bad, there are as many as 30% of the young and strong, and there are more than 300 people. ”
Li Zhi frowned and thought for a while.
"These young men can first form them into a team, give them proper training, and can serve as caravan escorts
In the future, merchants will inevitably travel all over the Han Dynasty, and they can be used as guards when the time comes. ”
After solving the problem of this group of victims, he was worried about what to do with the victims who came in the future.
When he first came, he thought it was very beautiful, but now for a little thing, his hair is about to make himself bald.
He touched his head, trying to think of a way to use a lot of people and make money.
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have a clue, so he kicked the stone under his feet in annoyance and walked out of the village.
When I came to the outside of the village, I felt a much better mood when I looked at the world of flowers and birds.
This is where the Han Dynasty is better than modern times, no matter what, there is no pollution here, and even a few small hares and small wild boars can be seen running in the distance.
"Huh? …… Wait, pigs? That's right! You can raise pigs, beat pigweed, clean the pigsty, etc., all need manpower, and it is not heavy, and the old and weak can do it.
And if you add lard and plant ash, it seems to be soap, and then get some petals to distill it, take some flower essential oil and mix it, this is soap, right?
I think lard mixed with acid is a candle, right? Why don't you try some vinegar?
And with flower essential oil, and then with high wine? Try some perfume? It seems to be quite popular for men to wear incense powder these days. ”
Thinking of this, Li Zhi was excited for a while, and he couldn't wait to realize his ideas one by one.
He thought so and did so, only to see him walk quickly towards the village, and after finding Guo Jia, who was a talent in Xizhi, he told them what he thought.
When the two of them heard that Li Zhi still had so many secret methods, they naturally agreed with joy.
But before they were happy, how to make piglets, how to build a pigsty, how to kill pigs, how to sell meat
How to get flower essential oil? How do I make soap? How to make candles? How to make perfume? These need to be experimented with one by one.
In short, they are at a loss for what to do, and the three of them are about to explode because of these troubles.
In the end, Li Zhi helped the three of them divide the work.
Li Zhi went to study how to refine flower essential oil, as well as alcohol, and think carefully about soap, candles and other secret methods, after all, only he knows these things.
Guo Jia went to contact the piglets and the craftsman who built the pigsty, after all, the three of them were the local head snake and the head of Guojia Village, so it was best to contact these things.
As for Xi Zhicai, Li Zhi asked him to temporarily take charge of the wine shop and the training of those escorts.
Just when the three of them were doing their own thing, Li Zhi's name slowly spread into the ears of the heads of major families.
