Chapter 65: Tempering the Body

As a modern person, I have seen a lot of parents busy with the future of their children, and looking at Xu Gai's lost look, Liu Li was also moved in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Dad, Xu Shiyun is not to your liking, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, and you haven't asked in person, it's too early to say it now." In any case, this must be done, because Xu Maogong is a famous general on the same level as Li Jing, and he is one of the two most talented generals under Li Shuang, if he misses it, it will be thunderous.

"Yes, Lord Liu." The lost Xu Gai was like a man in the water grasping a straw, and he hurriedly echoed.

"That makes sense." Liu Yu nodded and said, "It's better to take the school exam in person for this apprenticeship." It's just that he's in Caozhou, and I'm in Chang'an, so it's not easy to do. ”

If he can really accept a disciple who meets his requirements, Liu Yu is still very happy. It's just that Xu Maogong is in Caozhou, so he can't go to Caozhou, right?

"Lord Liu, please rest assured, I will rush back and bring the child here, and Lord Liu will personally take the exam." Xu Gai said immediately.

As long as Xu Maogong can worship under Liu Yu's door, let alone go back to his hometown, even if he breaks his leg, he is also willing.

That's what parents are!

"That's fine." Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "If I have reached the critical juncture of breaking through, it would be okay to go to Caozhou." ”

If you really want to accept a satisfactory disciple, Liu Yu will definitely be happy to go to Caozhou. Even if you are not satisfied, it is considered a tour. It's just that he is now about to break through to become a Magi, and this matter is very important, and he can't travel far.

"Then thank you, Lord Liu." Xu Gai was overjoyed.

In any case, Xu Maogong still has a chance, and everything is possible.

"Uncle Xu, you have two daughters and three sons, why don't you take them all and let your father teach them together." Liu Li thought to himself that a sheep is herded, a group of sheep is also driven, and teaching Xu Maogong alone is also teaching, so it is better to teach all the people of the Xu family, so that the Xu family can be more determined to do things for themselves.

This is a great thing, Xu Gai is desperate, but Liu Yu has the final say, he looked at Liu Yu with blank eyes.

"This ......" Liu Yu hesitated.

His requirements for accepting apprentices are very high, it can be said that they are very harsh, even if Xu Maogong becomes his disciple, then his brothers and sisters may not meet his requirements.

"Dad, you have to think about it, the one who can pass on your mantle is enough." Liu Li began to flicker, and said, "There are three thousand disciples of Sage Kong, seventy-two sages, and it is impossible for all of the three thousand disciples to be sages." It's the same for you to accept disciples, just one pass on your mantle is enough. The rest of the disciples, how much they can learn. ”

"It makes sense." Liu Yu nodded.

Xu Gai is very grateful, Liu Li helps him everywhere, what a good person. If he knew Liu Li's true thoughts, he would definitely have the urge to chop this guy up and feed it to the wild dogs.

"Besides, if Xu Shiyun can satisfy you and pass on your mantle, and his brothers and sisters want to learn, can you not teach? Even if you don't teach, won't Xu Shiyun still teach? Liu Li asked again.

"That's right! It's up to you. Liu Yu nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Lord Liu." Xu Gai was overjoyed.

"Brother Xu, don't be busy thanking you first, this ugly thing has to be said in the head." Liu Yu waved his hand, his face was solemn, and said: "If Xu Shiyun can really inherit my mantle, it is easy to say." If not, please go back and forth. ”

The ancients were extremely strict in selecting apprentices, and Liu Yu was no exception.

"Of course, that's of course." Xu Gai said busily.

If Liu Yu didn't accept Xu Maogong as an apprentice, would his family not go back and forth?

What I want is what you say, but Liu Li is very satisfied with the cheap father's words. Xu Maogong is a famous general on the same level as Li Jing, can he still say that he is intelligent? If he wants to become Liu Yu's disciple, looking at the world, who else has this ability? As long as the cheap dad agrees to this, then it is appropriate for Xu Mao to worship Liu Yu as a teacher, and he will not run away.

Correspondingly, Xu Maogong, as well as his family, are under Liu Li's control.

Xu Maogong is an unborn military wizard, resourceful, and with his help, do you need to talk about this benefit?

Besides, Xu Gai is also a business talent, and Liu Li needs his help very much at the moment. It's a great thing to buy one get one free, and you can't find it with a lantern.

"Lord Liu, then I'll rush back to Caozhou." Xu Gai was very anxious and wanted to get this done as soon as possible.

"No hurry, no hurry." Liu Li stopped Xu Gai and said, "Uncle Xu, don't fight for this day and a half day, you will accompany your father to drink first." ”

If Xu Gai can win Liu Yu's favor, then Xu Maogong's apprenticeship will be more certain, this is a good time to enhance the relationship, and it can't be missed.

It's easy to do things at the wine table, Liu Yu is drinking, if Xu Gai is comfortable with him, he will have a good impression.

Xu Gai understood and tried his best to win Liu Yu's favor. After drinking this wine, the distance between the two suddenly shortened a lot, and they felt like they were late to see each other.

Although Xu Gai is a businessman, he is also a strange person, although he is not as good as his son Xu Maogong, but he is not bad, his speech and demeanor are insightful, and he is superior, and he can't ask Liu Yu not to look at him differently.

That night, the two fell asleep and talked happily with each other, until late at night, when they slept separately. This made it so that when Liu Li saw Xu Gai the next morning, he found that Xu Gai had a pair of rabbit eyes.

Xu Gai was anxious about this matter, and rushed back to Caozhou the next day.

When Liu Li gave him off, he said, "Uncle Xu, if you go back this time, you might as well move all of your Xu family to Chang'an." ”

"Moving?" Xu Gai was a little shocked, he hadn't thought about it.

"yes." Liu Li nodded and said, "Uncle Xu, to be honest, don't be angry. Although Caozhou is good, it is a small place, and there are many business opportunities in Chang'an. ”

Caozhou and Chang'an can't be compared at all, although the Xu family is a big family in Caozhou, but in Chang'an, not a splash will come out, this business opportunity is too far away.

"That's true, but my roots are there." Xu Gai declined.

Now Liu Li needs the help of a business talent like Xu Gai, how could he refuse, and said, "Uncle Xu, have you ever thought about it?" If Xu Shiyun really worships my father as a teacher, he will not only learn poetry and books, but also cultivate the way of literati. This way of cultivation, to put it bluntly, is to smash with money, only if there is enough money, willing to smash, a large number of treasures can be smashed, even a pig can become a master. Xu Shiyun needs a lot of money to cultivate, can the Xu family support it now? ”

In order to make up Xu Gai's mind, Liu Li deliberately said very harshly, but he was very reasonable. No matter what kind of genius you are, no matter how against the sky, if you don't have enough treasures to support you, no one can say what you can achieve.

Xu Shiyun's cultivation definitely requires a lot of money, which is not something that the current Xu family can support.

Xu Gai was speechless.

"Besides, my father is about to become a Magi. Xu Shiyun worships my father as a teacher, and the future will be even better, and the cost will be greater. Liu Li threw the bait again.

Magi are a group of people who stand at the pinnacle. After Liu Yu became a wise man, Xu Maogong was his disciple, and this cultivation was smoother, and the guidance of the famous teacher would save him a lot of detours.

In this way, the treasures of this cultivation must be indispensable, and it is even more likely to be more.

"Not to mention, if my uncle's other children also have the talent to learn poetry and books, the cost will be even greater." Liu Li's bait was thrown one after another.

Xu Maogong will inevitably be able to inherit Liu Yu's mantle and be able to cultivate, but none of the other people dare to say that they can't. In case they are very talented, this requires more treasures.

"How's that going to be?" Xu Gai was thinking about how to let Xu Maogong worship under Liu Yu's door, and he hadn't thought about it yet.

With the current financial resources of the Xu family, no matter what, it can't support so many people's study and cultivation.

"There is a good saying, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. Caozhou is certainly your roots, but if you can cultivate a group of talented children, why don't you worry about the day when you don't return home? Liu Li looked at Xu Gai and said temptingly: "Chang'an has many business opportunities, much more than Caozhou, as long as Uncle Xu comes to Chang'an, this future will be good." ”

"It makes sense." Xu Gai had to admit that Liu Li was very reasonable.

"Besides, I have a deep friendship with the Li family of Zhaojun, the Yuwen family, and the Chai family, I will help you, isn't it better than in Caozhou?" Liu Li began to play the emotional card, and said: "If Xu Shiyun worships my father as a teacher, who else will I help if I don't help you?" ”

Liu Li and Li Jing, Yuwen Chengdu, and Chai Shao are sworn brothers, and this relationship is very deep, and it is not difficult to get the help of these three families. You must know that any of these three families are much stronger than the Xu family, and if you can get the help of these three families, it will be difficult for the Xu family to be underdeveloped.

"Thank you Liu Gongzi for reminding me, I'll go back and deal with it." Xu Gai is also a person who can afford to put it down, and as soon as he was reminded, he immediately figured it out and made up his mind to move his family to Chang'an.

"Uncle Xu, you'd better come back before Princess Leping's banquet next month." Liu Li gave a time limit and said, "I will do a big thing in the near future, and it would be great if Uncle Xu caught up." ”

obviously wanted Xu Gai to help him do business, but he told him that it would be of great benefit to the Xu family, this guy was too shameless.

"Okay, I'll be back." Xu Gai also knew that Princess Leping's banquet was very important, and if she could catch up, it would be of great benefit, so she readily agreed.

The two parted ways. Looking at the back of Xu Gai leaving in a hurry, Liu Li really wanted to sing loudly: The Xu family didn't run away!

After sending Xu Gai away, Liu Yu praised Liu Li again. Not for anything else, just because Liu Li and Li Jing, Yuwen Chengdu, and Chai Shao became brothers.

In the eyes of modern people, swearing is a fart, it is not a thing, you have to insert two brothers if you have nothing to do, can this sworn be useful? But in the eyes of the ancients, this was a very sacred thing.

Not to mention, Liu Li worshiped Li Jing, the genius of the Li family of Zhao County, Yuwen Chengdu, one of the top ten fierce generals of the Sui Dynasty, and Chai Shao, the son of the Chai family. These three, no matter which one they are, are much stronger than the Liu family. Liu Li and the three of them became brothers, which made the Liu family a strong ally from now on.

This has great benefits to the Liu family, and Liu Yu has to praise Liu Li.

After praising Liu Li fiercely, Liu Yu went to retreat, preparing to become a wise man as soon as possible.

Liu Li checked the koji mold, and the cultivation was good, and the next step was to make koji. It's very simple, but it takes a day to make it, and you just need to ferment it well to make wine.

After doing this well, Liu Li tempered his body. The recipe that Zhao Boyan gave him was different, and this refining method was a little scary.
