I'm Trying My Best to Add Some Cultivators in the World of Ninth Uncle

Page 180

Russell's complexion became more and more strange.

"One has no context."

"Two have no money."

"Three has no power."

"Four has no army."

The four eyes seem to be pointing to the literati, "How can those small forces succeed? In my opinion, the final winner must be one of these warlords."

"It's just a pity that Maoshan has no clear support goals yet."

Russell patted Simu on the shoulder, and said sincerely, "Master, I suggest you become a bald-headed military adviser."

"It's just the legendary crouching dragon and phoenix chick!"

"You're so damn accurate!"

Chapter 178 The smile fades away

Since the four eyes were praised by the junior nephew Luo Su as a crouching dragon and a phoenix chick that day, the whole person floated up proudly.

Such a general trend in the future has to be a well-informed person like him!

Of course, this is just a boring little episode of the boat ride.

The speed of the boat traveling upstream along the Yangtze River is not slow, it can only be said to be very slow.

Not just because of the countercurrent, or stopping to resupply in the surrounding cities.

The most important thing is that every time Li Chengyu went to a city, he would stay for a long time, as if he was investigating something, and had an ulterior secret.

Russell was also very curious, and secretly followed the corner to listen to the corner. To his regret, it wasn't the imaginary green grass coming out of the wall, nor was it some kind of golden house.

It's about talking about business in a serious way!

Renjia Town is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The economy of the provincial capital is also very developed, and it has become a place where warlords fight.

The Li family's business will inevitably encounter some twists and turns, and those people are not reasonable people.

Although there are some losses, they can barely pass by, and Li Chengyu is cautious, and he knows that this situation cannot go on peacefully.

Eggs must be placed in different baskets, so as to prevent chickens from flying eggs!

So taking the opportunity to send his son to Sichuan, he went up the Yangtze River along the way, hoping to find a stable city and find a suitable way to run his business.

Once it was a last resort, it was time for the Li family to lose their arms and survive.

For these, Russell agrees, isn't it just to place bets separately, which is what ancient families did.

A certain family played very well, and members of the three major dynasties had family members who became officials, and the positions were not small.

Even in modern times, when those people buy stocks and funds, they will not focus on one, but will buy more.

This is called risk sharing.

I understand, I understand, Russell didn't care about this matter, after all, although he was valued by the Li family, he was not to the point where he could influence Li Chengyu.

Uncle Jiu is okay, but he is not. Who made him only eight years old now, no, nine years old.

A child has the advantages of a child, but naturally also has his disadvantages.

So Russell calmly continued to fish on the boat with a fishing rod. This is a leisurely life that no one can envy.

Until the afternoon, Uncle Simu seemed to bring back a piece of good news.

He inquired about a strange thing, maybe it had something to do with ghosts, maybe it had something to do with monsters.

Russell immediately became interested when he heard this, because he is a little tight now and needs to borrow the heads of those monsters and ghosts.

Whether it is Maoshan swordsmanship, paper figurine, or Maoshan body protection spell, Nine Palace Order, Yang Wulei, palm thunder, these are big players who swallow energy points.

The happiness of cultivating immortals lies in adding points to upgrade, if you can't add points, it is equivalent to the nerds without the happy fat water, and the otakus without the little movies.

Crack, happiness is gone!

Russell originally thought that the weird news was some kind of demon harming people.

Until Simu finished telling everything, Russell always felt that he was being played like a monkey.

A farmer who grows apples has his apples stolen. This is a big deal!

After all, this apple seed is the first-class stuff brought back from the West, it is bright red and has an extraordinarily sweet taste.

Although native apples smell delicious, they taste like wood, without any juice.

This western apple soon became the favorite of dignitaries and nobles, and they specially sowed a few plots of land, instead of planting crops, let them grow apples.

If the harvest is good, the planting is good, and those nobles are happy, then not only will the farmers not have to pay taxes, they may have some surplus, and they can live a beautiful year.

Don't underestimate the low taxes. Now that the warlords are fighting, the taxes collected today will be wiped out tomorrow.

New warlords, new policies, new county magistrates, and new taxes.

What?Have you paid taxes before?

bold!How dare you support the old warlord before, pull it down!The dog's head is waiting for you!

At the most chaotic time, you may have to pay taxes hundreds of times a year!

Of course, this is just to say that the planting is good, what if the planting is not good?

Do you know why the two apple trees in Dongtou grow so well?

Because the ones that are not planted are all lying there and used as tree fertilizer!

The farmers are conscientious and hard-working, wishing to use the tree as a parent to make offerings to. Finally, it grows gratifyingly, but the fruit is getting less and less day by day.

He was holding a machete in the middle of the night, trying to find the thief who stole the apple desperately.

As a result, the ghost shadow was not seen, but the apples became less and less.

The person almost disappeared, maybe he was angry, maybe he was scared.

The elders who saw a lot in the village said that they had recruited monsters, so they searched around, hoping to find some strange people to help.

After searching for a long time, I finally bumped into Simu. Not all places have real people like Uncle Jiu.

Russell also finds it weird. Sometimes, it is really hard for him to imagine how people in this era can survive?

Hey, maybe, there will be a group of teenagers who are willing to stand up and sweep everything with red.

Russell quietly looked into the distance.

……

late at night.

Outside the apple grove.

Simu and Luo Su quietly lay on the edge of the field, they wanted to see who came to steal the apples?

No matter how hard they think about it, they can't think of it.

Ghost stealing an apple?

Isn't that nonsense!

Monsters stealing apples?

I've never heard of a monster that likes to eat apples!

The night was getting darker, four eyes seemed to have found something, poked Russell lightly with his hand, and whispered, "There seems to be movement on the left."

Russell turned his head, and found that there were some lights by the river, and vaguely heard strange laughter.

Water monkey?

Russell only remembers that monkeys like to eat bananas, do they still like to eat apples?

"Go, go and have a look!"

Russell waved his hand, anyway, he is here with the four eyes and two earth masters, so why are there any monsters?

After walking in, Simu and Russell could see clearly that the light was actually a pile of fire, and the weird laughter was actually a group of little kids.

They were plainly dressed, holding sieves in their hands, playing and playing there.

A big child was digging something by the river, when he heard the sound of rushing water, several people beside him were in a hurry.

After a while, there were cheers.

I saw that their sieves were placed there, and within a short time, nearly several large fish had been filled.

This is a rare meat flavor!

Seeing this scene, Simu couldn't help touching his nose. There are countless fish in the Yangtze River, but he usually fishes with his nephew and never wins.

"hungry?"

Russell asked abruptly.

Four Eyes nodded honestly, and then saw Russell running over directly, "I'm going to grab some food first."

Four Eyes: …

He rubbed his stomach and finally made a difficult decision.

Wait for me!

……

"Why does this fish taste weird?"

Looking at the golden fish grilled on the fire, he couldn't help but take two bites, frowning, feeling weird.

Until the next moment, he saw Russell adding a lump of dried cow dung to the fire...

The smile on the faces of the four eyes gradually disappeared.

I'm going to kill you brat! ! !
