Sun Ce's martial arts are good, he is not afraid of any opponent when he fights alone, even if Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who practice diligently every day, want to win against him, it is not easy for him, and if he is not careful, he may be defeated.

But he doesn't think it's a credit to Tai Chi. He is not familiar with the specific moves of Taijiquan, and uses more boxing techniques with strength. Sun Ce's martial arts were originally very good. has a father known as the tiger, and he also has first-class physical fitness, coupled with more than ten years of hard work, even if he doesn't know how to borrow strength, he is also a first-class master in this era. If you have a little bit of boxing that others don't understand, it's naturally easy to win.

Tai Chi is not of much practical effect on him. He also knows that most of the Tai Chi boxing in the world is a kind of goods, and it is hard to say whether there is a real thing, anyway, the Tai Chi master who can really play has never shown up, and Master Lei often appears in the media.

However, the health function of Tai Chi is recognized by the world, and it is more or less effective regardless of whether it is authentic or not. Tai Chi itself is the so-called inner boxing, the theoretical basis is the yin and yang gossip, and the practice is qi and blood. Yu Ji has been seeking the Tao in his body for decades, and in terms of familiarity with the body's qi and veins, no one in this world should be able to surpass him. Let him readjust according to this boxing theory, and the effect should be much better. It's hard to say whether you can practice your voice shooting skills, but it should be no problem to keep fit.

Sun Ce said that he would do it, and he didn't practice boxing anymore, so he pulled Sun Shangxiang and went to find Yu Ji.

Yu Ji lives in Xu Yue's small courtyard, has already gotten up, and is practicing guidance in the courtyard. After listening to Sun Ce, he was also very interested, and immediately asked Sun Ce to rehearse. I have to say that this old man's decades of practice are still useful, and his memory is so good that he is perverted, Sun Ce said it again, and after a comparison, he almost couldn't remember. The comprehension is also surprisingly good, and he understands the principle of yin and yang that Sun Ce said as soon as he hears it, and even feels more than Sun Ce himself.

Taking this opportunity, Sun Ce talked about his other plan, hoping that Yu Ji would add some private goods to the "Taiping Sutra" and advocate equality between men and women. Yu Ji stroked his beard and smiled before he could finish listening.

"The general can rest assured that the "Taiping Sutra" is made in accordance with the Tao, and there is a theory of harmony between yin and yang. On the way to come, I heard that the general respects women, and I know that the general knows the Tao well. Even if you don't say it, I'll adjust this part and emphasize it. ”

Sun Ce became worried. "You're not going to change it casually, are you? Wouldn't this be a loss of its original face? ”

Yu Ji was surprised. "What's the original? The Taiping Sutra was originally compiled and has been changing. Doesn't the general hear the way and move repeatedly, change and live, flow around, simple, easy, but easy and not easy to ......"

Sun Ce was speechless, and he was not interested in arguing with Yu Ji any further. Anyway, he is not a scholar of literature, it doesn't matter if it was originally or not, the key is whether Yu Ji's "Taiping Sutra" can provide him with a theoretical basis, if not, even if Yu Ji doesn't change it, he will change it in Yu Ji.

After Sun Ce and Yu Ji finished talking, Xu Yue came over again and talked to Sun Ce about increasing the supply of paper and pencils. Originally, only Yan Jian was added, and the content of the two studies was similar, and it did not have much impact on him, but now there is more Yu Ji, Yu Ji not only has to write the "Taiping Sutra", but also writes some other things, and the consumption of paper and pen will be greater, and he needs Sun Ce to give some more shares.

Sun Ce was surprised. "Isn't it always in good supply? When is there a limit? ”

Xu Yue smiled bitterly. "Lord Yang is booked. He said that there have been a lot of places to use money recently, and all parts of it have been thrifty, and he hopes that I can save some money. I thought it made sense, so I agreed. ”

Sun Ce also smiled bitterly. If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you have forced Yang Xiu to be very serious recently, and there may be a reason why he is so happy to go to Yuzhang to take office. He has been very tight recently, and he has transported more than 200 stone rice from Jiaozhou to solve his urgent need, but it has also further stretched the already tight economy. The cost of transporting rice from Jiaozhou is high, several times that of local production, and it can only be used for emergencies and cannot be used as a long-term solution.

Sun Ce agreed to Xu Yue and went out in a huff. When it comes to money, I can't feel better. The economy of small peasants is easy to stabilize, but the speed of accumulating wealth is too slow, and it is difficult to achieve results without more than ten years, but the consumption of war is too great, and the accumulation of ten years cannot withstand a year of war. Industry and commerce are quick to make money, but he has just opened his stall, and it is the time to spend money, and most of the products in the workshop are also supplied to the front line, and he has not seen the benefits yet.

Sun Ce was in a bad mood, returned to the water pavilion, and took another heavy blow. I just received the news from Jizhou, the small and medium-sized families in the north of Jizhou organized a group to support Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao suddenly had 30,000 or 40,000 people, and what was even worse was that these small and medium-sized families also brought a lot of money and food to Yuan Shao, the most conspicuous of which was the Zhongshan Wuji Zhen family, who almost donated all their belongings.

Hearing the news, Sun Ce scolded fiercely in his heart. What the hell, a bunch of glamorous guys, take the initiative to jump into the fire pit. Okay, you are willing to die with Yuan Shao, I have no opinion, and even the pot will be served when the time comes.

"Reliable information?"

"Reliable." Pang Tong said. Guo Jia slept late yesterday and was not on duty this morning, it was Pang Tong who was handling things. "The news from the detailed work we arranged in Jizhou was delivered. General, there have been many storms at sea recently, and it is inconvenient to transmit information, but it is not as safe as land. ”

"Land is safe, not more checkpoints." Sun Ce was suddenly stunned and asked, "Did it go well this time, when was the news?" ”

Pang Tong smiled. "The news was sent ten days ago, and there was almost no delay on the road, especially in Yanzhou."

Sun Ce immediately heard Pang Tong's words. At the time of the war, Cao Ang would not let his guard down for no reason, and he must have done it with good intentions, at least to show that he had no hostility and was not prepared for war.

"Are you sure?"

"It's pretty much certain."

Sun Ce was happy and worried. "Cao Ang can't have any deals, right? We don't have enough to eat ourselves, but we don't have the energy to support him. ”

"This is not necessarily, although Mrs. Ding is very comfortable in Pingyu, after all, they are hostile parties, and Cao Ang will not be so straightforward. I think he may be hoping that we can loosen some of the naval blockade so that the merchants of Yanzhou can buy goods from Liaodong. In addition to war horses, ginseng, mink, and pearls from Liaodong are all commodities that the family likes, and now that the sea route is blocked by us, they will be very inconvenient. ”

Sun Ce nodded. "Okay, send someone to contact Cao Ang, let's relax the blockade, we have to give us some benefits."

Pang Tong answered, took two steps, and turned back. "There's something, I don't know if Mrs. Yuan told you."

"What's the matter?"

"The loom invested by the general is already paying off. When I went to Nanyang last time, Mrs. Qin said to me that according to the prior agreement, this year should be distributed to the general, Huang Dajiang, and Feng Dajiang for a total of more than 500 gold, and I want to ask you what you plan, whether to withdraw cash or continue to invest. ”

Sun Ce blinked, stroked the short beard on his lips and smiled, and his mood was much more relaxed. "It's not easy, I finally see the money back. Shi Yuan, do you say that this means that the most difficult time has passed and we are starting to make profits? ”

Pang Tong smiled and nodded. "Although 500 gold is just a drop in the bucket, it is a good start."
