In the study, Qi Shan held the pen in his hand and slowly raised his head.

"Interesting, if the mountain doesn't come to me, then I will come to the mountain. It seems that the fate of Zhu Chongba and Huangjue Temple cannot be solved. ”

Fate is a magical thing, even to the extent of Qi Shan, who can build an empire with a wave of his hand and manipulate the lives of countless people, it is impossible to be sure whether fate exists.

These days, the tofu project has gradually formed a preliminary assembly line.

Under Qi Shan's hand-in-hand teaching, most of Zhu Chongba and those friends gathered around him could operate proficiently.

Tomorrow morning, I will get up to make tofu, steam tofu, and then work in groups of two to carry it in all directions, and the eight villages are selling.

Qishan's nanodetectors have already been distributed for hundreds of miles, and they know their daily business well.

The people take food as the sky, and the year of famine is a year of famine, and each family is still a little different.

Although there are not many, there are always three or five people who buy tofu every day.

As for the so-called caravans and the bold people passing by, they are all cyborgs made by Qi Shan.

Through this simple way, Qishan is brightly subsidizing resources for the old Zhu family.

After so many worlds traversed, the carry-on space is now vast.

Docking with the old Zhu family with the resource volume of Qishan is like digging a small canal by the sea, which is not worth mentioning at all.

Qi Shan's plan is very simple, this era is mainly clan-based.

The rules handed down by the older generation are on the one hand, and on the other hand, people are too poor, if it is not a clan, it is difficult to have the ability to resist risks if they are together to keep warm.

So naturally, developing into a family-owned estate is the most suitable path.

Analogous to the Nangong family in the legend of the Son of Heaven.

Qi Shan really wanted to see if Zhu Yuanzhang could get to that position again in a different way.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Qi Shan stood up, turned around and walked out.

The maid standing at the door saluted and said: "Second master, the eldest lady instructed you to go to the side hall if you finish reading the book, please go to the side hall to talk about it, an old monk came to Huangjue Temple, saying that it was the master of the fourth master, and the eldest lady was entertaining." ”

Qi Shan nodded and said with a smile: "Almond, didn't you say it several times, don't call it Ye, they are all villagers, your family has helped us before, you come to help, do you really think of yourself as a subordinate?" ”

Almond said solemnly: "Father's teachings, the rules must not be forgotten, and the upper and lower must be clearly distinguished." Now in these years, people are sent to eat people.

Almonds can beg for a bowl of rice from you, what more can you ask for? ”

Qi Shan shook his head and said nothing more.

This girl is stubborn and stubborn.

After the family had some money to spare, Qi Shan had thought about getting one or two cyborgs to come out as subordinates.

But before they could make a move, the neighbors saw that Lao Zhu's family was up, and they begged to send their children over.

The boy had the strength to work, so he made tofu every day, and then went out to sell it with his burden.

The girl surrounds Aunt Wang, sometimes making clothes, changing some tattered places in the house, and most of them are used as maids, washing, washing, and cooking.

They are all from poor families, and there will be no oppression by large families.

Aunt Wang is also a hurtful person, so these little girls are very happy in Lao Zhu's house, and the most important thing is to eat and be full.

Now in the courtyard of the three-entry house, there are more than a dozen large and small maids.

Coupled with the boys, there are thirty or forty mouths for eating at home.

This amount made Aunt Wang's heart tremble every time she counted.

The rate of food consumption is also rising, and Aunt Wang doesn't dare to go to the granary.

With a large population, it is natural that you can't just count on voles.

The back mountain was already bare, and although there were some weeds, it had been sunburned like moss.

It's reasonable to have three or five voles in this kind of territory, but if there are three or five hundred, it's pure nonsense, isn't it obvious to tell others that this place is boring?

Fortunately, he had some spare money at home, so Qi Shan hooked his fingers and arranged for a secret grain merchant to sneak to the door every once in a while, selling some grain like a thief.

This kind of sneaky behavior has already aroused Zhu Chongba's memories.

I had mentioned it more than once during the meal before that he suspected that the grain merchant was a nearby bandit, and he robbed him when he was ready to come back.

Qi Shan just smiled and didn't speak.

In his heart, he secretly applauded this idea, and besides, he was quite curious about the strength of the high-martial world, with his own scientific and technological strength, what would happen if there was a conflict with the locals?

If Zhu Chongba really dared to take these rotten wood sticks to break the firewood knife and take people to the mountain, Qi Shan would not mind taking advantage of the situation to do an experiment.

Because of this, there is a silent cottage on a small green hill thirty miles away.

This stockade is very strange, it has no name and no flag, and no one can be seen looting when they come and go.

But the spies of the nearby bandits knew that this stockade was strong and strong, and there were 200 people in it, with uniform clothing, unified weapons, and the stability of the village, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is inevitable that several nearby cottages will mutter.

The thieves were also very poor these years, and Qi Shan was too lazy to take care of them, otherwise they would have been swept away a long time ago.

When I came to the side hall, I happened to see Aunt Wang talking with the old monk.

The old monk was kind and kind-eyed, and his monk's robe was washed white.

The woman next to her is dressed up compared to the above, although she can't catch up with the wife of the official eunuch, she is also a young lady of the landlord's family.

Seeing Qi Shan coming over, Aunt Wang stood up and said, "Second uncle, this is Master Jueyuan of Huangjue Temple, and he is the master of the fourth child. Master Jueyuan, this is now the head of the old Zhu family. ”

The old monk stood up, folded his hands and recited a Buddha name.

"The donor has a good face, and he is really a rich and noble person, no wonder the old Zhu family can rise against the trend after a long drought. The poor monk Jueyuan has seen the donor! ”

Qi Shan smiled back: "I've seen Master Jueyuan, I don't know why the master is here?" ”

"I'm ashamed to say that now God is stingy with rain, and there are more and more locusts, and the first two months were fine, and there were more or less bark and grass roots to eat, but now even these are almost gone.

The tenants' life is too hard, Huangjue Temple can't bear to collect rent, but they have to live, there is no surplus food in the temple, and the monks can only fend for themselves.

The poor monk cheekily came to beg for a bowl of rice to eat. ”

Qi Shan showed his face: "It should be so, the meal that the sister-in-law can prepare for the master?" ”

"Only a bowl of porridge!"

"Then how can I tell the kitchen to clean up a table of banquets, the master does not eat meat, and makes our tofu in a different way. I just happen to have something I want to talk to the master about, and I can't miss this opportunity! ”

As soon as he heard that there was a banquet, the old monk's beard trembled, and the woman next to him was even more happy.

Aunt Wang hesitated, nodded, confessed, and walked out with the maid.

The old monk saluted: "Thank you to the donor, but if you ask, you know everything, and you can't say anything." ”

Qi Shan returned the salute with a smile.

From the first day he came to this world, Qi Shan's heart was full of questions, Zhu Chongba's family lived in Guzhuang Village, a big place, and they couldn't get in touch with the upper class.

Some things are asked in vain.

Now that the old monk is here, he may be able to know the same.

Monks are not ordinary, they wander the world and make friends with three religions and nine streams.

In this context, it is natural to be much more well-informed.

The fat lady in the back kitchen is actually the daughter-in-law of the Wang family next door, who used to work as a helper in a restaurant in the town, so she has two hands.

The hands and feet are quick, the speed is fast enough, and the tofu is also ready-made, and there is nowhere to find other vegetables this year.

It only took ten minutes before and after, and the four dishes and one soup were all tofu.

Aunt Wang didn't know where to take out half a jar of rice wine and sent it to the two.

When a man eats, a woman can't serve it, so the monk's daughter-in-law was taken down by Aunt Wang, and they had their own table.

In the open space in the backyard, the monk and Qi Shan sat opposite each other on the bluestone slab.

Picking up the wine glass, he first drank a glass before opening the conversation.

"Master Jueyuan, I have been weak since I was a child, although I have never been sick, I can be strong, and I have no strength to bind my hands and feet when I become an adult. Seeing the fourth brother playing with the boulder, it was like catching a chicken, so he had a doubt in his heart. Why do people nowadays have so much strength? If I'm not mistaken, the ancient books don't say anything so exaggerated. ”

The old monk was not polite at all, and he picked up the chopsticks and threw them on the tofu.

When Qi Shan said this, five or six pieces of tofu had already entered his mouth, and this old boy was not too hot, and he swallowed the dates in his stomach.

Hearing Qi Shan ask about this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"The ancient books mentioned by the donor should be before the Tang Dynasty."

Qi Shan asked silently, "Why did the master say this?" ”

"This change in heaven and earth is a secret, but in fact, most people already know it, and they are kept in the dark, just mud legs that are shaved in the fields."

The old monk raised his head and seemed to be caught in a memory.

"Did the donor ever know that in the year when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, a divine stone fell from the sky, which was smashed in the Western Regions, and turned into a towering mountain after landing, separating the land of the Central Plains from the wilderness of the Western Regions into two worlds.

So some people named it the Two Realms Mountain. ”

Qi Shan's hand shook, and he secretly told me to fuck in his heart. It can't be the Two Realms Mountain I thought!

"It is rumored that a divine monkey has been pressed under the mountain of the Two Realms, sleeping in the open and living forever. Someone once saw it eating copper pills and drinking iron juice.

Until the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, for some reason, the Two Realms Mountain suddenly exploded, and the monkey did not know what to do.

At that time, this incident caused an uproar, and many nobles who did not know the truth rushed to the Two Realms Mountain to personally explore the terrain to find out what caused the mountain to collapse.

I don't know how many years have passed. The broken rocks were carried by people and gradually spread throughout the Central Plains.

It was from then on that people became physically stronger and stronger, and some people found that their strength was getting stronger and stronger. ”
