Chapter 132 Carrying stones and saving silver
There are so many bizarre things in this world.
Yuan Zheng and Li Chen are like this, most of the night, to think about what kind of mount is good.
Yuan Zheng did not give Li Chen advice, this kind of thing is all up to Li Chen.
Li Chen is really in deep thought, he has a pair of wings, and the sky is within his reach, but on the land, he is not so satisfied.
After thinking about it, he asked, "Is it okay to have any kind of mount?"
Yuan Zhengdao: "Yes, a powerful mount, you need to pay some price, this is to orient yourself, a spiritual mount, will be loyal to its master, after the master dies, it will not live alone." ”
"You don't have to worry about not getting too good mounts, it's important to orient yourself. ”
Only when we have a deliberate direction can we have the motivation and direction to work hard.
Li Chen fantasized in his heart that if he got the phoenix wings in the future, if he completely mastered the supernatural powers of the Peng clan in the future, he could shake the nine heavens, and what kind of mount could reflect his majesty at that time.
Thousands of miles of smoke and clouds are good, but Li Chen knows that thousands of miles of smoke and clouds are not scored, and there is a master.
And Li Chen's mount is also a thousand miles of smoke and clouds, and he will also commit taboos with Yuan Zheng.
Li Chen has already set a direction for himself, that is, to follow Yuan Zheng to fight the world, whether it is rivers and lakes or temples, Li Chen will follow behind Yuan Zheng.
The time of contemplation was long, and before I knew it, the time for the two sticks of incense had passed, and the carrying handle had returned from outside, and there were still blood stains on the corners of my mouth.
After a long time, Yuan Zheng's pale face returned to normal.
Li Chencai said: "Horses, Beihai has them, but it is estimated that it is not easy to start." ”
Yuan Zheng looked at Li Chen meaningfully, and said with a smile: "It is indeed difficult to start with a horse, and it is also a kind of courage for you to choose a mount that is not easy to start." ”
Horses, resembling horses, with huge white bodies and black tails, and sharp horns on their heads, scream like drums, and feed on tigers, leopards, and other wild beasts, which are extremely ferocious.
This is a known situation, and no one has tried it exactly.
Yuan Zhengdao: "As far as I know, the sound of the horse is like a war drum stirring, stepping on auspicious clouds, taming can resist military disasters, can go to the sky, can also enter the ground, like to eat powerful tigers and monsters, and occasionally hunt dragon scale horses and unicorns with weak bloodline levels for food." ”
"If you really get a horse, you can become a fierce general if you are not a fierce general. ”
Li Chen smiled euphemistically: "Actually, I don't know much about horses, but I know that horses like to eat hard bones, so I chose horses." ”
Yuan Zheng said helplessly: "The horse is north of Great Xia, and after we find your younger brother, let's go to the north of Great Xia to have a look." ”
Originally, I wanted to use my own deduction and calculation to find the whereabouts of my senior sister Shan Rong, but I thought about it.
Senior sister has Tailuan, and that sword does not have a certain amount of luck, so it cannot be controlled.
Besides, Yuan Zheng didn't want to find his senior sister by deduction and calculation.
It is better to meet by chance, and I hope to meet my sister in a quiet and beautiful afternoon in the autumn rain.
Everything in his imagination is beautiful, but when will he meet his senior sister, Yuan Zheng doesn't know in his heart.
The bonfire in the cave burned until dawn, and Yuan was waiting for Li Chen's morning exercise to finish before the two set off for Yongzhou.
There is a Li family compound in Yongzhou, and there is a female general named Li Yu, who has had several relationships with Yuan Zheng.
I don't know if I can meet it this time.
Along the way, Li Chen's heart was very excited, and he really hoped that he could see his younger brother soon.
......
Yongzhou, on the periphery, there is a stone mountain.
Coolies carried huge stones from top to bottom and came from above.
The city wall of Yongzhou is repaired every ten years, and every time the city wall is repaired, a large number of stones are transported from the stone mountain.
The sound of cicadas disturbed the summer, and a female general was in the gazebo, drinking tea indifferently.
In summer, drinking tea can be elaborate and can be bright.
The female general looked pretty good, and she didn't let her subordinates whip them to beat the coolies who were not easy to make a living.
Since Li Yu took over this project, she felt a little bored, it was better to go to the battlefield to fight, or to be a spy to better understand what it means to make meritorious contributions.
However, the position of engineering supervisor is a very oily position.
If something happens to the coolies, they can ask for a pension from above, but whether the pension can reach the coolie's family is another matter.
Li Yu was not interested in this matter, and the coolies under her hands were not bad, and there was no accident.
When working in the mountains, there was no sign of forming a gang and bullying newcomers.
It's just that he is spending in the pavilion day after day, drinking tea, which makes Li Yu's sharpness wear off a lot.
Regarding this matter, Li Yu has a deep prejudice against his father.
But since it was a business matter, and this matter involved the fortifications of the Yongzhou city wall, Li Yu could only endure it.
After coming to Daqin from Dawei, Li Ding's life was quite peaceful, and after getting rid of the pursuit, Daqin Tieqi failed to remember what Li Ding looked like, and no wanted warrant was issued.
As a result, Li Ding himself didn't know how he came to Yongzhou.
At first, he ran out of coils on his body, starved for a few days, and hunted wild beasts among the mountains and fields for a living.
Soon after, I learned that Stone Mountain recruited coolies, paid wages, and took care of food.
If you can carry a stone here, you can still make a move dark under the noses of the Great Qin army.
Li Ding came in a hurry, his strength was very great, after all, he was the Neidan who swallowed the blue-winged ape bear, and he had inexhaustible strength.
When carrying stones, you can always be a little faster and more stable than others.
All big stones, not broken ones, some big stones weigh five or six hundred pounds.
Most of the coolies who dare to come here are men who are strong and need to support their families, and they are not afraid of hard work.
When Li Ding came down from the mountain with two big stones on his back and carried them to the baggage vehicle waiting for reception below, the groom couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Young man, you are the most powerful person I have ever seen." ”
"These two big stones are at least more than 1,000 catties. ”
"Although the strength is great, but you should also be leisurely, you are young and vigorous now, and when you are old, you will taste great. ”
This groom looked like he was about fifty or sixty years old, and he came to Stone Mountain to carry stones when he was young.
Li Ding smiled stupidly: "I'm also here to earn some wages, I have a lot of strength, and I can still afford two stones." ”
The groom smiled helplessly and said, "Fortunately, our general only stipulates that everyone is allowed to carry two big stones at a time, if it weren't for this rule, I think you kid would have to carry at least three big stones." ”
Li Ding smiled and did not speak.
He has no money to spend, no money, and it is difficult for him to move an inch anywhere.
As a female general, Li Yu is resolute and decisive.
But she also understands the suffering of the world, she knows that some men don't want to carry stones in order to earn more wages, and in the end, they fall into a problem.
In the early years, when the stone mountain was started here, some people did not want to die for the silver, and carried three large stones, but when they first carried it, they were fine, and they could walk steadily, but they were crushed halfway through, and the stones fell on the melon seeds on their heads.
Not to mention the dead, the rocks on the landslide were the most terrifying, rolling down all the way, and three more people were killed along the way.
Li Yu glanced at Li Ding, in terms of strength, among the young men, Li Ding definitely has a hegemonic attitude.
Thinking of such a good body, Li Yu also planned to take Li Ding to join the army and make contributions to the Great Qin Empire.
But when I looked at Li Ding, he was a little cowardly, not like a master who dared to fight with the enemy on the battlefield.
Li Yu gave up on this idea.
In order to make more money, there are many people who carry two big stones, but only Li Ding doesn't know if his face is not red and his breath is not panting, and his heart is not beating.
Li Ding smoothly put the two big stones on the baggage vehicle, and without resting, he turned around and left directly, walking towards the stone mountain, where there were still many big stones.
If you are not afraid to carry a stone, you are afraid that you will not have a stone to carry and you will not have money to earn.
In the past, when he and his brother Li Chen had a difficult life, they wanted to find a place to work, but they couldn't find a place, and their stomachs could only be hungry.
It's good now, at least I have a lot of strength, and I have a place to use it.
He thought, he made enough money here, and then walked around in Daqin, looking for his brother.
If there is no silver, let alone go out to find his brother, whether he can get out of Yongzhou or not, it is not certain.
He is not a coward, but after all, he has been face-to-face with Daqin Tieqi, and he knows that he has to be humble and hide, and he doesn't dare to be too ostentatious.
He is also a young man with ideals, but before he finds his brother, he can only put his ideals aside.
I thought to myself, I was so stupid, I could escape from the pursuit of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, my brother was so smart, he should also live well.
You have to live well.
Whether it is up or down the mountain, Li Ding's steps are always neither fast nor slow, he feels that the mountain is not so difficult, and the road down the mountain is not so steep.
They all survived, what else could stump them.
In the pavilion, a herald beside Li Yu saw Li Ding's thunderous back when he went up the mountain, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the general's order, you can only carry two big stones at most, and I think that kid will be fine to carry five stones at a time." ”
Li Yu stood up, looked around, and said with a helpless smile: "What did that young man say, it's good to have no idea of making contributions, and it's also a good thing for An An to earn some money to support his family." ”
"But I always feel that it's a pity, it's a coward, a person who only knows brute force. ”
"There are many such people among the workers who carry stones. ”
