Chapter 20, the Seven Princes of the North Beggar Hong

"Helmsman, we're a gang of beggars. "Despite what the helmsman said, there were still people who couldn't turn the corner. Aren't they just beggars? Aren't they just beggars asking for food? Aren't they just going to ask for food and money? If they don't ask for food, but go to work, then they are still beggars?

"You can't turn around in your mind. The helmsman said angrily, "Our beggar gang was established so that we can protect ourselves from being bullied." It is said that people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places, and they can't be beggars, so they only think about asking for food. ”

"I think the helmsman is right. Li Shucheng looked at everyone and said, "The beggar gang was established to protect the beggars themselves, but we should also take the initiative to find something to do, and we can't be poor and be poor! The purpose of the beggar gang should be that there are no beggars in the world!"

"Good!" a heroic voice came from outside, and then a figure flashed, and an old beggar appeared in the middle of the field with a wine jug.

"Helper!"

"Helper!"

......

One by one, the beggars immediately cried out excitedly.

"Seven Princes?" Li Shucheng asked.

"The old beggar is Hong Qi. Hong Qigong nodded and said. He had traveled here to come directly to the rudder, but he found that the rudder was gathering people, and he planned to quietly see what was going on.

Hiding in the dark and hearing what Li Shucheng said, he praised it in his heart and applauded Li Shucheng.

Li Shucheng hurriedly visited: "The junior Li Shucheng visited the Seventh Prince." ”

"Excuse me. Hong Qigong waved his hand and said, "Who is your kid's master? ”

"Back to Qigong, the younger generation learned martial arts with the old urchin Zhou Botong when he was a child, and he has insisted on practicing martial arts all these years, barely succeeding. Li Shucheng said.

"Are you practicing the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect?" Hong Qigong said in amazement, "Although the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect are authentic to the Xuanmen, they are very slow to cultivate, and you can achieve such cultivation at such a young age, it's amazing!"

"The Seven Princes have won the prize. Li Shucheng said modestly.

"It's not a prize at all. Hong Qigong said, "It's not just about practicing martial arts, but also your opinion on the beggars just now is worth pondering." ”

"However, if the beggar gang changes like this, and everyone goes to their own personal interests, will they still be able to unite in the future?" asked Hong Qigong.

"Then you have to come up with a good gang rule. Li Shucheng said.

"Hmm. Hong Qigong said, "But everyone has money, and there are no beggars in the world, so our beggar gang will no longer exist." ”

"Qigong, even if there are no beggars in the world, the beggar gang can still exist, it's a big deal to change the name and call it the Money Gang. Li Shucheng said with a smile, "Besides, there are no beggars in the world?

"Yes. Hong Qigong sighed and said, "If there is such a day, it doesn't matter if the beggar gang exists or not. ”

"So the beggars must also take action, and they can't raise lazy people. Li Shucheng said.

"Yes, we have to act. Hong Qigong said, looked at the beggars present, and said loudly, "Li Xiaozi is right, I agree." Let's talk about what to do. ”

"Li boy, let's go, let's go in and drink. Hong Qigong called Li Shucheng into the temple.

"Boy Li, is the old urchin okay now?" After sitting down, Hong Qigong asked, "I haven't heard from him for a long time. ”

"I haven't seen him in more than a decade. Li Shucheng said.

"Forget it. Hong Qigong said, "Come, drink a bowl first." ”

"Juniors respect you. Li Shucheng hurriedly picked up the bowl and said.

"Okay,!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, Hong Qigong said, "You have an idea for opening your mouth wide, they have done a good job here, and food and clothing will not be a problem." Can you give me another idea, there are too many of us, and the problem of food and clothing is a big problem. ”

"It's easy. Li Shucheng said, "There are so many of you, you can do whatever you want." ”

"For example......"

"For example, you are all over the place, and there are many masters in the gang, and you can help people transport valuable goods and money. Li Shucheng said, "In addition, you have a lot of masters, and you can run shipping." The profits of shipping are too huge! A trip to the South Seas is at least twenty or thirty times the profit. If my family hadn't had no manpower, I would have encouraged my father to engage in maritime trade. ”

"I know that the sea trade is developing very well. Hong Qigong said in surprise, "Will Haimao have such a big profit?"

"Absolutely. Li Shucheng said, "The risk of sea navigation is not small, storms and pirates are common, if there is no such big profit, who wants to run the sea trade? Storms are generally easy to avoid, but pirates are not easy." If you beggars don't do it yourself, you can cooperate with our family. ”

"Well, yes, let's work together first. Hong Qigong said, "Our beggar gang has no money, but we have manpower; your family has money, but we lack manpower, and cooperation is just complementary." ”

"That's great!" Li Shucheng said with a smile, "My home is on the east side of Taihu Lake." The Fu Lai Commercial Bank and Fu Lai Restaurant in Suzhou City are my family's property, and you can find my home there. ”

"Fulai Restaurant is your family?" Hong Qigong asked in surprise, "Your restaurant is good, and several dishes are no worse than the imperial kitchen!"

"The Seven Princes have won the prize. Li Shucheng said modestly, "In this way, I will write a letter, and you can always ask people to take it to Suzhou to find my father." I'm going to have to wait here for a few more days. ”

"Oh, are you talking about teaching Hanako to identify herbs?" Hong Qigong said, "Just look for Langzhong." ”

"It's not just that. Li Shucheng said, "I also want to find a snake gall here." ”

"What snake?" asked Hong Qigong. Snakes are found everywhere, but there are some special species of snakes that are only found in certain regions.

"The Bodhisattva is a snake, which is recorded in the Buddhist scriptures. Li Shucheng said, "The snake gall of this snake can enhance people's strength after being subdued." ”

"Bodhisattva? Hong Qigong said, "Is there anything here in Xiangyang?"

"It used to be. Li Shucheng said, "I don't know if there are any now." If I don't have one for a few days, I'll be going home too. ”

"Oh, you should be the first time to go out to explore the rivers and lakes, right?" Hong Qigong said, "It's normal to be homesick when you leave home for the first time. ”

"I'm not going to the rivers and lakes, I'm just going to the Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain to have a look. Li Shucheng said.

"Well, although you are not a disciple of the old urchin, nor are you a member of the Quanzhen Sect, but after learning the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect, it is right to go and see. Hong Qigong said.

"That's what I thought, too. Li Shucheng said, "I came out this time to go to the Quanzhen Sect to have a look." ”

"The Quanzhen Sect has developed better and better over the years. Hong Qigong sighed, "Now they are already a big sect. ”

"It's not a big deal right now. Li Shucheng said, "There are many outstanding disciples among the three generations of Quanzhen disciples now, and they will definitely become the number one sect in the North in the future." But they also need to see the situation. ”

"What's the situation?" asked Hong Qigong.

"The war between the Jin State and the Mongols is not over yet, right?" Li Shucheng said, "The Jin State also came out of the bitter cold land in the north, and after occupying the north, the extravagant life quickly eroded their will, softened their bones, and greatly reduced their military strength. You see, this time, although the Jin State sent millions of troops, tens of thousands of Mongol troops were able to fight them well. Therefore, if they lean on Mongolia, they will develop into the largest religion in the north, or even the largest religion in the world. ”

"Well, I've been there. Hong Qigong said, "It's exactly as you said." ”

"The current Jin country is the Great Song Dynasty more than 80 years ago, and Mongolia is the Jin country at that time. Li Shucheng said, "Soon the Jin State will fall, and the Mongol occupation of the Jin State will destroy the Xia State to the west." Next is the Great Song. The Great Song Dynasty has been established for a long time, and the internal decay is serious, with the current appearance of the Great Song Dynasty, although it can be blocked for a long time, but the Great Song Dynasty has been lame since the founding of the country, and sooner or later the Great Song Dynasty will perish. ”

"You mean that Mongolia will unify the world. Hong Qigong asked.

"Yes, since ancient times, once a unified country appears in the north, then the Central Plains will be in danger. Li Shucheng said, "However, the Mongols have a small population, and it is impossible to defeat the Xia Kingdom and the Great Song Kingdom of Jin in a short time, even if they unify the world, but their population is small, and their rule will be the same as when they were in the Jin Kingdom." Moreover, it will not reign for many years. ”

"Alas, when the world is in turmoil, the people will suffer. Hong Qigong sighed.

"Normal, the world will be together for a long time. Li Shucheng said, "Besides, no matter whether there is war or not, the people are living a hard life, but there are only a few deaths." ”

"If there is no war, at least many people will not die. Hong Qigong said.

"The Central Plains is so big, it can only feed so many people. Li Shucheng said, "When the population reaches a certain number, the surplus people are not the same as they cannot be fed." ”

"Don't talk about that. Qigong, I would like to ask you about cultivation. Li Shucheng said.

"Cultivation?" Hong Qigong said, "Yes, you can ask if there is anything." ”

"Qigong, isn't it possible to practice martial arts too much, but the more specialized the better?" asked Li Shucheng.

"Yes, you kid can see quite accurately. Hong Qigong said, "People's energy is limited, and of course you have to be single-minded in cultivating martial arts." ”

"By the way, the Seventh Duke has reached the innate, right?" Li Shucheng asked, "Where is the entrance point?"

"What is the trick of the entrance?" Hong Qigong said, "You don't have to think about it so much now, when the internal strength is reached, you can naturally find the location of the trick of the entrance." I see that your kid's martial arts are very good, but he has almost no experience in fighting, so I'll have a fight for a while. ”

"Thank you, Qigong!" Li Shucheng was overjoyed and thanked him. The Northern Beggar, Hong Qigong, is one of the people with the highest martial arts in the world, and he is warm-hearted and likes to promote his juniors, so this opportunity should not be missed!
