Fu Tang
Chapter 31 (1)
Li Congjia looked at that piece of gold leaf, feeling a little bad all over.
A piece of gold leaf is actually very thin, and there are not many copper coins that can be exchanged.
Li Congjia has never suffered from lack of money since he came here, and he never expected to lose the chain at a critical moment-he just promised that he can make his father and son have nothing to worry about!
So... If you want to support people, you have to make money first?
Li Congjia felt that he finally understood why those self-made generals would rob them.
From this point of view, those who have been slightly less aggressive in history can basically win the position.
Li Congjia is very entangled. His current identity is the owner of a bandit village, and it seems very normal to rob money and food.
However, in fact Li Congjia didn't even think of going to rob. Ordinary people can't rob, scholars can't rob, only rich households can rob, but those rich households have the sharpest nose. If there is any trouble, they leave early, how can they still return? Stay for you to grab?
Seeing Li Congjia's worried look, Shi Xueting suddenly asked, "Why didn't Your Majesty send someone to ask for help?"
After a pause, Li Congjia said, "It's useless to ask for help. Father will definitely send someone to pick me up instead of confronting Zhao Kuangyin head-on."
Shi Xueting sighed slightly, Li Congjia looked at him and suddenly smiled and said: "Master is not an ordinary monk."
Shi Xueting's heart skipped a beat, he looked up at him and asked: "I am a monk, didn't you already know?"
Li Congjia shook his head: "I'm not talking about this, but...you seem to be very familiar with the current battle situation."
Li Congjia's words are translated into the words of later generations, which means that Shi Xueting has a political and military perspective.
This is a very difficult task, not many educated scholars can do it, let alone a monk who grew up in a temple, Shaolin Temple does not teach these things.
Shi Xueting was a little surprised: "What does the village master mean?"
Li Congjia's face was full of black lines, why did he even start calling the village master?
But now it's not suitable to change the subject, Li Congjia said: "Many times, for example, I just said that my father will not send people to fight against Zhao Kuangyin, you don't have any doubts, you just know why I said that."
Shi Xueting laughed: "That's because I believe in you."
Li Congjia shook his head. Before, he had inadvertently revealed to Shi Xueting that Southern Tang had a plan to recover Jiangdu Prefecture and other places, and this plan would be implemented soon. After all, these places produce salt and are heavily taxed!
With the loss of Jiangdu Mansion, the taxes in the Southern Tang Dynasty have dropped a lot. Coupled with the continuous fighting, the treasury has been stretched.
Shi Xueting knew that the Southern Tang Dynasty would recover Yangzhou, but he had no doubts about Li Congjia's statement that he would not send people to attack, which meant that he knew it well.
Of course, this matter is not so difficult to judge. Zhao Kuangyin, as a general who has risen in the state of Zhou in recent years, Southern Tang no longer dares to underestimate him. To fight Zhao Kuangyin, not only must the whole country's strength be devoted, but also enough suitable generals must be available.
But the problem now is that there is no suitable general. If Li Hongji has been tempered, there is still hope. It's just that Li Congjia has been missing for so long. Looking for an excuse to keep him?
And once Li Jing wavered, would Li Jingsui contribute to the flames and find a way to keep Li Hongji behind?
Seeing Li Congjia in a daze, Shi Xueting coughed lightly and said, "If the village owner needs money, there is nothing he can do."
Li Congjia looked up at Shi Xueting: "What way?"
He doesn't even know what to do to make money in such troubled times, but Shi Xueting actually has a way?
Shi Xueting's face was serious: "Treasure map!"
Only now did Li Congjia recall that these Shaolin monks were hunted down because they carried treasure maps.
In order to let Li Congjia save people, Shi Xueting also said before that he would dedicate the treasure map to him.
But at that time it was an exchange, but now that Shi Xueting mentioned it, it was probably a surrender.
Li Congjia was not short of money before, and he didn't believe there was such a thing, so he refused.
Now that Shi Xueting brought up the old matter again, to be honest Li Congjia was tempted, but he didn't agree immediately, but said solemnly: "I will think carefully."
Shi Xueting was a little surprised. This treasure map was a timely help to Li Congjia. If he wanted to strengthen his team, this treasure was very important to him. Can stand still.
Shi Xueting didn't say any more, and asked again: "If the village master wants to be an enemy of Zhao Kuangyin, has he thought about an alias?"
"What?" Li Congjia was slightly taken aback.
Shi Xueting smiled and said, "Isn't it convenient for the real identity of the village master to be revealed?"
Li Congjia immediately understood Shi Xueting's meaning. If his identity was exposed, Zhao Kuangyin would immediately write a letter to Guo Rong to use troops against Southern Tang.
Li Congjia said smoothly: "The surname is still Li, the first name is... the first name is Yu, and the style name is Zhongyin."
After Li Congjia finished speaking, he felt a little guilty, but after thinking about it, this name was originally changed by the master himself. As for Zhong Yin, it is also his name, so there is nothing wrong with it.
The only thing wrong is probably that the name Li Yu originally represented the "emperor of ancient poetry", but now he has become an anti-thief leader.
But for the sake of my life, I'm sorry if I'm sorry.
Seeing that he had reminded everything he could, Shi Xueting didn't say any more, and let Li Congjia sit in the room thinking hard, and turned around to go out to practice.
Li Congjia was still worrying, but in this worry, there was a bit of confusion.
Before he said that he wanted to trouble Zhao Kuangyin, it could be said that it was because of his spirit, but now with the orderly progress of the matter, that spirit has not disappeared, but it has calmed him down.
Zhao Kuangyin is not easy to fight. If you want to fight him, you need not only weapons but also soldiers.
Now let’s not talk about whether we can afford it, but if we can really afford it, does Li Congjia really want to organize an army here?
If it is organized and won, then with the victory of the battle, his soldier will also appear in the eyes of the world, and his identity will not be concealed sooner or later.
How will he explain to Li Jing then?
Oh, being hunted down jointly by the Baijia Army and the Zhou Army, and then chased out his own army?It is still possible to defeat Zhou Jun's army. With this ability, he could have fled back to Southern Tang long ago. What does it mean to form an army by yourself?Want to rebel?
Li Congjia felt a headache, a very headache. If he could, he really wanted a strong assassin who could take the head of an enemy thousands of miles away, so that he could send someone to assassinate Zhao Kuangyin. Why would he need to anal with Zhao Kuangyin?
And as long as Zhao Kuangyin dies, Guo Rong will not live for two years, and Chai Zongxun is still young, so there is nothing to worry about, and the crisis in the Southern Tang Dynasty will be resolved.
Li Congjia closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and went back and forth in his mind with many ways, such as buying people around Zhao Kuangyin to poison him. Of course, this plan was rejected first. loyal.
The second way is to find a beauty to assassinate, create a chance encounter and find a way to get Zhao Kuangyin's favor. Of course, this method is also ruled out.
Not to mention how long it would take to train such a beauty killer, the most important thing is that no matter whether she succeeds or fails, this beauty will die in a smoldering death, which is really inhumane.
All conceivable solutions were ruled out, and in the end Li Congjia seemed to have only the original path left in his mind: what are you afraid of, just be upright!
Li Congjia had no choice but to change his method and began to think about how to get money.
In fact, if you really want to make money, there is still a way.
This method is to make money from the dead, which is commonly known as tomb robbery.
According to Li Congjia's memory, there are actually many large tombs around Jiangdu Mansion, such as the tomb of King Guangling of Han Dynasty, and the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
It’s just that such a method really challenges the lower limit. As an archaeologist, Li Congjia has always hated those desperadoes who rob graves. Does he want to do this for money now?
No, no, no, no matter how difficult it is for a person, there is still a bottom line. Li Congjia closed his eyes, and at worst, he turned around and found a way to do something else to make money. He didn’t believe that he had studied for so many years, and even some things that could be sold for money Can't do it!
When Li Congjia was fighting between heaven and man, Shi Yanlie hurried over and said, "Villager, just got the news that Zhao Kuangyin is going to Taizhou."
Li Congjia's heart tightened suddenly, and he asked tremblingly, "It's not enough for him to slaughter Guangling, should he go to Taizhou again?"
Shi Yanlie shook his head: "I don't know the exact reason, but my disciples have seen traces of their troops mobilizing, and it looks like they are going to Taizhou."
Li Congjia thought for a while and said: "Urge the carpenter to make what I need quickly. It is the only way to go to Taizhou. Then we will give Zhao Kuangyin a big gift."
Shi Yanlie's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay! I'll go right away!"
Li Congjia looked at the back of Shi Yanlie running out in a hurry, and frowned. He found that this group of monks was different from what he had imagined.
Has anyone ever seen a monk who can be a spy?Not to mention that the opponent's intentions can be predicted from the mobilization of the opponent's troops and horses. Such a scout is what many generals dream of.
Even if there are monks in Shaolin Temple, they are only used as guards, and they will definitely not be taught these things, and it seems that they are the only ones being hunted down in the entire Shaolin Temple, which is strange, really strange.
The most important thing is that these people seem to be very supportive of Li Congjia's rebellion. They are very obedient and plan to give him money. This is what puzzles Li Congjia the most.
But he put these questions aside for the time being, he will know some answers sooner or later, the most important thing for him is how to surprise Zhao Kuangyin.
Li Congjia invited Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie over, planning to study where it would be more appropriate to ambush.
So what surprised Li Congjia even more was that Shi Qingsong actually took out a map.
And this map, at a glance, knows that it was drawn recently.
Oh, these monks have a little more mystery: they can also draw maps.
This damn Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
Li Congjia suddenly felt a sense of crisis. If he didn't treat Shi Xueting very well at the beginning and really treated him as a male favorite, after these monks escaped from birth and joined Shi Xueting, next year's today, his grave will probably be Is it very long?
After Li Congjia carefully looked at the map, he reached out and clicked on a place and said, "I think this place is better."
It was a wasteland. Li Congjia chose this place mainly because there were no villages and towns nearby, so it would not affect others.
And with the current marching speed of the army, it must be getting late when we get there, and it is the most suitable place to set up camp.
And night is naturally the best time for a sneak attack.
Shi Yanlie thought for a while and didn't object, he just asked: "Village Master, that thing...do you want the disciples to try it first?"
Li Congjia gritted his teeth: "This time, Zhao Kuangyin will bring up to 1 people to Taizhou. To deal with these 1 people, we are barely able to deal with them. There is only one trial opportunity at most. You should choose people first and only rely on the two disciples." Not enough, you have to choose in the stockade and tell them that there will be meat to eat!"
When Li Congjia said these words, he felt that his heart was bleeding. He finally understood why scientific research is so expensive. He has not done scientific research yet. He just wanted to let everyone familiarize himself with the usage of Thunderbox. As a result, half of the inventory is just like this No, how could Li Congjia not feel distressed!
But compared with human life, spending a little money seems to be no problem.
Shi Yanlie took people to tinker with the training. Li Congjia didn't intend to interfere with this kind of thing. The method he knew was only suitable for military training of students, and the methods he had heard about for special forces were not suitable for use now.
At least he won't use it casually until he finds a good seedling. After all, not everyone can bear that inhuman training method.
Li Congjia found that he seemed to be in a state of doing nothing again. After choosing the ambush location, he didn't have to worry about the rest.
The poor and bored Li Congjia began to think of ways to improve his food. These days, most of the food he ate was baked or boiled. After a long time, Li Congjia began to miss hot pot and spicy dishes.
When he was in the palace before, he didn't dare to toss too much. After all, from a poet to a cook, neither Li Jing nor Queen Zhong could accept this setting, and it would be very troublesome.
But now no one can control him, he is the boss here!
The boss is extremely popular here. After all, after he came, the people in the village lived a life of food and clothing. When he started to study various recipes, his popularity became even higher.
At the beginning, Li Congjia only tossed some ordinary stir-fried vegetables, such as garlic and green vegetables. These days, there are green onions, ginger and garlic, but there is no chili, so Li Congjia has nothing to love.
Especially when he tossed out the braised pork and found that the taste was much worse without chili, he really wanted to find someone to go to sea to find chili.
Those spicy substitutes are not as enjoyable as chili peppers after all.
However, the braised pork that he despises so much has seduced other people's gluttons.
Li Congjia stared dumbfounded at Shi Yanlie sitting in front of him eating meat.
Not only Shi Yanlie, but even Shi Qingsong squinted his eyes to savor the delicious food. Li Congjia's doubts about the authenticity of these monks reached the peak.
Li Congjia couldn't help asking what he asked Shi Xueting before: "Aren't you monks vegetarian?"
Shi Yanlie's eating meat didn't stop him from talking: "Hey, I have relapsed a long time ago. Now that I have already relapsed, what difference does it make if I eat more or less?"
Li Congjia asked again: "Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you?"
Shi Qingsong took a piece of meat and chewed slowly before answering: "There is a Buddha in my heart, even if I break the precepts, I am still a Buddhist disciple."
Li Congjia smiled and said: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart?"
Shi Yanlie repeated this sentence, raised his eyebrows and said, "The village master is a great talent, that's what he meant, that's what he meant."
Li Congjia shook his head helplessly, seeing the two monks eating happily, and then looking at the young monks eating green vegetables, tofu and yellow rice at the next table, his heart moved.
At night, Li Congjia specially called Shi Xueting over, gave him a bowl of meat and said, "It's for you."
Shi Xueting was quite surprised, but he didn't refuse. During the day, they smelled the smell and salivated, but the master and uncle ate all the meat, and there was no soup left, so they could only eat it with regret. Tofu with green vegetables to swallow.
Li Congjia didn't leave much meat, only enough for Shi Xueting to taste something new for himself, and it was impossible to eat enough. In this case, the brotherhood in Shi Xueting's heart was thrown aside by him.
Li Congjia asked while watching him eat: "You said... If you open a shop in Taizhou or Jiangdu Prefecture to make such a living, will anyone buy it?"
Shi Xueting raised his head, swallowed the meat in his mouth and asked, "How much is the cost?"
Li Congjia couldn't hold back, reached out to wipe off the yellow rice grains around his mouth, and withdrew his hand nonchalantly, as if he hadn't done anything.
There was no expression on Shi Xueting's face, as if he didn't realize that Li Congjia's actions just now were too intimate, and he was still waiting for an answer.
Li Congjia thought about it carefully and replied: "Except for seasonings such as salt, sugar and soy sauce, there is almost no cost."
Of course there is no cost, the meat is wild boar, brought back by Shi Xueting from hunting with his juniors, it is no different from having no cost.
Shi Xueting pondered for a while: "If there are too many people, there might not be enough wild boars."
There are indeed many wild boars in the forest, but in such a large forest, it is impossible to encounter wild boars every time. If you want to open a shop, what should you do if you don't have any food?
Li Congjia smiled slightly: "Things are rare and expensive, and we can buy them in a limited amount every day."
Shi Xueting was a little surprised: "Will someone buy it?"
"Of course, if the marketing is good, some people will buy it if we set a higher price."
Hunger marketing, Li Congjia is very familiar with this, but people in this era may not know so much about it. Anyway, as long as the taste is good, there will naturally be someone to help promote it.
Moreover, Li Congjia did not intend to take the civilian route from the very beginning, small profits but high sales are not suitable for him. He needs a lot of money, so he has to pay for it from the pockets of those wealthy households.
Jiangdu Mansion was a good choice. It was prosperous enough, and after the Zhou army occupied it, there was no major movement, and the wealthy households were still there.
The more Li Congjia thought about it, the better it became. Shi Xueting thought for a while and said, "Then who do you want to let go?"
Li Congjia smiled and said, "It's time for Eleven Lang to learn to be on his own."
Shi Xueting didn't object. Although Yang Xin looked young, in real terms, he was only a little more than two years younger than Shi Xueting. Shi Xueting regarded him as a junior because Yang Xin was his disciple.
As for Li Congjia, although his body is 19 years old, his mental age is not 19 years old. Isn't Yang Xin just a child in his eyes?
Seeing that Shi Xueting also agreed, Li Congjia suddenly asked: "Your disciple... Do you still want him to be a monk?"
Shi Xueting was a little surprised: "Do you mind this?"
Li Congjia couldn't laugh or cry: "If you let him become a monk, I won't let him get involved in these worldly things. After all, he is a monk. I'm afraid that the Buddha will blame me."
Shi Xueting shook his head: "I'm not qualified to accept apprentices. I just wanted to appease him before. If that's the case, he should just be a lay disciple."
Li Congjia immediately felt relieved, he didn't want the people he trained to turn around and become monks!
Li Congjia did what he said, and after recruiting Yang Xin, he gave him a task: go to the street to set up a stall to sell braised pork!
Yang Xin was very surprised after hearing this: "Is this... okay?"
Li Congjia was quite surprised: "Why not?"
Yang Xin hesitated: "Won't Zhou's officials care?"
Li Congjia said with a smile: "No matter how strong the execution ability is...cough, the imperial court can't care about every aspect of a city. There are always some suitable places that can accommodate you. As for whether you can find it, that's up to you." It's up to you."
Yang Xin had a thoughtful look on his face, but he did not refuse. He is not young, and he is still being raised by Li Congjia and Shi Xueting. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being raised by his master, but the problem is that his master is Li Congjia is raising her.
His master has skills, but he has no skills, so Yang Xin is always worried that he will be abandoned one day.
So even though he was very nervous, Yang Xin took the braised pork that Li Congjia had prepared for him, and decided to go out to try it!
After Yang Xin left, Shi Xueting asked, "Didn't you tell him more?"
"Admonish what?"
Shi Xueting said: "Some points that need attention, after all, he doesn't understand some things."
Li Congjia said very frankly: "He doesn't understand, and I don't understand either. If I understand, I will go by myself."
Shi Xueting... Speechless, he really never thought that Li Congjia would be so unreliable, and he would just do it with a pat on the head. If he had known... hey, if he had known, he would not be able to stop these two people.
Yang Xin is eager to try, and Li Congjia is really short of money.
Li Congjia didn't put all his treasures on Yang Xin, he was still thinking about other ways to make money, but at this time, some people couldn't stand it anymore.
Li Congjia was quite surprised when Yunniang came to her.
Ever since she came to this cottage, Yunniang has kept herself safe and rarely appeared in front of Li Congjia.
Come here suddenly now, could it be that someone bullied her?
Li Congjia made up a lot of brainstorming, but Li Congjia was dumbfounded when Yunniang opened her mouth.
"Lang Jun's status is precious, why should he be willing to degenerate and handle lowly slaves?"
Li Congjia was at a loss: "A cheap servant?"
Yun Niang gritted her teeth and said, "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, not to mention that a businessman is already low in status. Why should Mr. Lang bother with these things?"
There was a thunderbolt, and Li Congjia couldn't help but knocked his head. In vain, he used to know all kinds of status and classes in ancient times, but he still unknowingly brought modern people's views on him.
But why was it Yunniang who raised this question?
Didn't Shi Xueting and the others find out?
If those monks cheated him, he would not believe it, after all, he was raising these monks now.
Yunniang came to remind her out of good intentions, and Li Congjia was grateful, and said softly, "I know what you said, are you still used to it these days? Has anyone bullied you?"
A smile bloomed on Yunniang's face: "Mr. Lao Lang is concerned, I am fine here."
Li Congjia thought for a while and said: "I may be very busy recently, and I don't have much time to cook. Why don't I give you the recipe, and you discuss with Yang Xin how to do this business. I only have one request, the accounts must be clear!"
Yun Niang was taken aback: "Don't dare!"
Li Congjia smiled and said, "Why don't you dare?"
Yun Niang hesitated and said: "This recipe is the secret recipe of Mr. Lang's family, how about..."
Li Congjia waved his hand: "What should I be? If you follow me, you will naturally be considered my family. When I go back in the future, I will apply for a household registration for you. Now work hard, help me work, and save some money for yourself." In the future, whether you marry or not, you will have someone to rely on."
Yunniang was very moved, knowing that Li Congjia was really thinking of her, she was even more determined in her heart. As for Li Congjia's marriage... She didn't want to for the time being. When she made a deal with Yang Xin, it was just a lonely woman in troubled times. Zhong wanted to find a place for himself to settle down.
At that time, she didn't know what kind of person Yang Xin was and what kind of character he was, but she had no choice, and now she has a choice, so naturally she wouldn't have to join forces with Yang Xin.
Li Congjia wrote down several stewed vegetables recipes and handed them to Yunniang, saying, "I can report it once a month from now on, go find Yang Xin."
Yunniang led the order to go, and Li Congjia thought about it and ran to find Shi Xueting who was supervising the training of the juniors.
Seeing him coming, Shi Xueting frowned and said, "Why did the village master come here? It's dangerous here, go back quickly."
Li Congjia looked at the smoky and smoky appearance on the mountain, and felt that he had done something wrong, and the pollution was too serious.
While covering his nose, he pulled Shi Xueting aside and asked, "Ask you a question. Do you think I'm a lowly servant if I cook and do business?"
Shi Xueting is so smart, when he heard him say that, he suddenly understood: "We were negligent, you shouldn't have done these things."
Li Congjia raised his eyebrows: "Neglect?"
Shi Xueting clasped his hands together and saluted: "In the eyes of Buddhist disciples, all living beings are equal, no matter whether you are an emperor or a peddler, there is no difference. How can we think that you are a lowly slave when you work for everyone?"
Li Congjia was relieved, he finally understood why he felt that he fit in well with this group of monks, and the ideas he brought from later generations actually coincided with this group of monks.
However, he is more noble than him. If Li Congjia saw low-status servants or poor family members, even if he would not despise them, he might feel a little despised in his heart, but this group of monks treats you equally no matter what your status is.
Perhaps this is another kind of contempt for imperial power and class.
Li Congjia didn't ask too many questions, but just said: "I left the business to Yunniang and Yang Xin. They can do whatever they want. If you want to teach Yang Xin something, let him tell me. , I'll find someone else."
Shi Xueting shook his head: "I don't know what to teach him, and I don't know what is good for him to do. I was a little lethargic before, but now it's fine, give him something to do."
Li Congjia laughed: "It's too easy for you to be a master. This is freeing you."
Shi Xueting didn't answer, but just said: "I just received a letter from my second senior brother, it is said that Zhao Kuangyin has set off, but the army is moving slowly, and it may take a day to reach the chosen place. Shall we go to ambush now?"
Li Congjia stared: "When did the news come? Why did you say it now? The military situation is urgent."
Shi Xueting smiled: "Don't worry, I have already asked the eighth junior brother to take people to the spot first."
Li Congjia felt at ease with him, but he always felt that something was not right, and after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he nodded and said, "Then prepare, let's go later." He hesitated and said, "I... ..."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Shi Xueting said, "It's better for the village master to stay in the village to stabilize people's hearts."
Li Congjia breathed a sigh of relief, and went down the donkey: "Alright, who will lead the team this time? Are you still Master Xuehe?"
Shi Xueting shook his head and said: "I have to discuss this matter with Master and his elders."
Li Congjia laughed and said, "Instead of asking Master Qingsong about this matter, it is better to ask Master Yanlie."
Shi Xueting thought about it too, and said: "Then I will go back with the village master."
After the two returned to the village, it happened that Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie were talking about something together.
Li Congjia asked loudly: "The two masters are discussing Buddhism?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a map on the stone table between the two of them, and couldn't help laughing, these two monks always brought him surprises.
Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie stood up and saluted him together, Shi Qingsong asked: "The village master came in person, is there something important?"
Li Congjia pointed to Shi Xueting and said, "Let Master Xueting speak."
Shi Xueting recounted all the news he had received and his arrangements, and when the words were about the same, he saw his master and uncle frowning together, he couldn't help but temporarily silenced his voice, not knowing what he did wrong.
Li Congjia also noticed it, and just wanted to ask, but saw Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie looked at each other and saluted Li Congjia together.
Li Congjia was taken aback: "What is this?"
Shi Qingsong's face was solemn: "The poor monk is not strict in discipline, so please ask the village master to punish him."
Li Congjia was a little confused: "What?"
Shi Qingsong turned his head to look at Shi Xueting and shouted: "Evil, don't kneel down yet!"
Although Shi Xueting was puzzled, he knelt down very obediently.
Li Congjia was really flustered: "No, it was fine just now, what's wrong?"
Shi Qingsong said earnestly: "It's this evil person who has done something wrong. The village master will beat him up and punish him. The poor monk will never say anything else."
Li Congjia smiled wryly: "Master, you've confused me, Master Xueting... What mistakes did he make?"
Shi Qingsong said indifferently: "Thanks to the village master for not giving up, although we have not made an oath, we are still following the village master. Naturally, the village master should be the first in everything. This evil animal decides without authorization, and naturally he did something wrong."
After Li Congjia heard it, he suddenly realized that he said that something was wrong just now. It turned out that Shi Xueting had been acting too aggressive recently. The series of orders just now can be regarded as military orders. If it is more formal, he should issue orders. Shi Xueting can speak out his suggestion, but it should be Li Congjia who gave the order in the end.
After all, Li Congjia is the owner of this village.
However, Li Congjia's political sensitivity is not particularly keen. He just noticed something was wrong but didn't think about it. Now that Shi Qingsong has made the matter clear, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Li Congjia glanced at Shi Xueting with a complex expression, and then said: "Master Xueting should also be unintentional, we... are not a regular army, let's forget this time, and the action is imminent, so we should not make any further complications."
Shi Qingsong didn't say much, looked down at Shi Xueting and shouted: "Evil, why don't you thank the village master for your forgiveness?"
Shi Xueting kowtowed and said: "It's the poor monk who lost his sense, thank the village master for not punishing him."
Li Congjia shook his head and said: "Let's forget about this matter first, we came here to ask Master Yanlie if he has a good strategy against the enemy?"
Shi Yanlie chuckled and said, "With the strong weapon of the village master, what strategy do we need to deal with the enemy?"
Li Congjia laughed suddenly, as long as he found a good place to throw things out, Zhao Kuangyin would lose if he couldn't even touch their side, what strategy is there?
"Since that's the case, I'll thank you all and leave." After Li Congjia finished speaking, he left there. He needed to find a place to think about it.
After Li Congjia left, Shi Qingsong looked at Shi Xueting who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Are you unwilling?"
Shi Xueting shook his head: "I never thought about what to fight for."
Shi Qingsong closed his eyes: "Master, I know that this is an instinct imprinted in your blood. You just want power. But have you ever thought that if you emptied him, unless you killed him, you would be the ones in the future?" Enemy, what you have to face is the wrath of the entire Nantang."
Shi Xueting's face turned pale: "I never thought of becoming an enemy of him!"
Shi Qingsong sighed: "I didn't think about doing things more carefully in the future. From now on, it seems that this man is not a merciless person. You and him can be regarded as sharing weal and woe. As long as your request is not too much, he will not refuse you. Don't be cold. touched people's hearts."
Before Shi Xueting could reply, Shi Yanlie said: "You can let go of the restoration of the lintel for now, this village owner is not stupid, he would rather find a way to manage the lowly slaves by himself than ask you for the treasure map. Don't you know yet?"
Shi Xueting closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Seeing that Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie had said the same thing, they let him go out to arrange the next sneak attack.
After Li Congjia returned to his room, his brows frowned.
Although it was pointed out that Shi Xueting had exceeded his power just now, Li Congjia didn't feel any sense of crisis. He left the matter to others, and Shi Xueting made the decision without authorization. He can't be blamed. It was Shi Qingsong who really made Li Congjia vigilant.
Although he is the owner of the village now, Shi Qingsong is the one with the most power, and all the monks listen to him, which means that the entire armed forces of the village are in his hands!
If Shi Qingsong had any evil intentions, then Li Congjia had almost no ability to fight back.
Of course, Shi Qingsong shouldn't be able to do this kind of thing, but it's okay if he didn't realize it before, but now that he realizes it, Li Congjia has to start thinking carefully, whether he wants to change his strategy.
So many history books have made it clear that the court has checks and balances, and one family cannot dominate.
This is true not only for the court, but for any power. If one power is too large, it will not be a good thing for the superior.
What Li Congjia needs to do now is probably to start cultivating another force to fight against the monk group.
To be honest, Li Congjia knows a lot about ways to cultivate influence, after all, he has most of the history of flower growers in his mind.
But after studying for a long time, he felt a little confused: Why did he do this?Isn't he staying here just to kill Zhao Kuangyin?After killing Zhao Kuangyin, he just patted his ass and left. Why did he make it look like he wanted to become king?
Li Congjia sighed deeply, he felt that he was being led astray, he was not the one who wanted to be king here, but Shi Qingsong and the others sent him a signal that this problem...is a bit serious.
When he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, opened the door and found Shi Xueting standing outside, his bald head was very conspicuous under the moonlight.
If the scalp is smoother, it may be able to reflect light and be used as a light bulb.
Thinking of this, Li Congjia wanted to laugh but felt that he was too disrespectful to others, so he quickly suppressed his smile and said, "Is the mage coming late at night for something important?"
Seeing Li Congjia's smiling face, Shi Xueting was quite surprised. He thought that the other party would be unhappy, after all, no matter who finds out that someone from below wants to take away his power, they probably won't be too happy.
Shi Xueting came in and said, "I'm here to apologize."
Li Congjia raised his eyebrows and looked at his back: "Apology for the crime? Where is Jing?"
Shi Xueting heard the ridicule in his tone, and was even more surprised. Seeing his appearance, Li Congjia couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, it's not a big deal, but a village, I haven't taken it seriously yet."
What he said was very understatement, Shi Xueting heard the subtext, and reminded: "It is always good for the village master to have a hidden soldier in his hand."
Li Congjia was taken aback: "You are like this
A piece of gold leaf is actually very thin, and there are not many copper coins that can be exchanged.
Li Congjia has never suffered from lack of money since he came here, and he never expected to lose the chain at a critical moment-he just promised that he can make his father and son have nothing to worry about!
So... If you want to support people, you have to make money first?
Li Congjia felt that he finally understood why those self-made generals would rob them.
From this point of view, those who have been slightly less aggressive in history can basically win the position.
Li Congjia is very entangled. His current identity is the owner of a bandit village, and it seems very normal to rob money and food.
However, in fact Li Congjia didn't even think of going to rob. Ordinary people can't rob, scholars can't rob, only rich households can rob, but those rich households have the sharpest nose. If there is any trouble, they leave early, how can they still return? Stay for you to grab?
Seeing Li Congjia's worried look, Shi Xueting suddenly asked, "Why didn't Your Majesty send someone to ask for help?"
After a pause, Li Congjia said, "It's useless to ask for help. Father will definitely send someone to pick me up instead of confronting Zhao Kuangyin head-on."
Shi Xueting sighed slightly, Li Congjia looked at him and suddenly smiled and said: "Master is not an ordinary monk."
Shi Xueting's heart skipped a beat, he looked up at him and asked: "I am a monk, didn't you already know?"
Li Congjia shook his head: "I'm not talking about this, but...you seem to be very familiar with the current battle situation."
Li Congjia's words are translated into the words of later generations, which means that Shi Xueting has a political and military perspective.
This is a very difficult task, not many educated scholars can do it, let alone a monk who grew up in a temple, Shaolin Temple does not teach these things.
Shi Xueting was a little surprised: "What does the village master mean?"
Li Congjia's face was full of black lines, why did he even start calling the village master?
But now it's not suitable to change the subject, Li Congjia said: "Many times, for example, I just said that my father will not send people to fight against Zhao Kuangyin, you don't have any doubts, you just know why I said that."
Shi Xueting laughed: "That's because I believe in you."
Li Congjia shook his head. Before, he had inadvertently revealed to Shi Xueting that Southern Tang had a plan to recover Jiangdu Prefecture and other places, and this plan would be implemented soon. After all, these places produce salt and are heavily taxed!
With the loss of Jiangdu Mansion, the taxes in the Southern Tang Dynasty have dropped a lot. Coupled with the continuous fighting, the treasury has been stretched.
Shi Xueting knew that the Southern Tang Dynasty would recover Yangzhou, but he had no doubts about Li Congjia's statement that he would not send people to attack, which meant that he knew it well.
Of course, this matter is not so difficult to judge. Zhao Kuangyin, as a general who has risen in the state of Zhou in recent years, Southern Tang no longer dares to underestimate him. To fight Zhao Kuangyin, not only must the whole country's strength be devoted, but also enough suitable generals must be available.
But the problem now is that there is no suitable general. If Li Hongji has been tempered, there is still hope. It's just that Li Congjia has been missing for so long. Looking for an excuse to keep him?
And once Li Jing wavered, would Li Jingsui contribute to the flames and find a way to keep Li Hongji behind?
Seeing Li Congjia in a daze, Shi Xueting coughed lightly and said, "If the village owner needs money, there is nothing he can do."
Li Congjia looked up at Shi Xueting: "What way?"
He doesn't even know what to do to make money in such troubled times, but Shi Xueting actually has a way?
Shi Xueting's face was serious: "Treasure map!"
Only now did Li Congjia recall that these Shaolin monks were hunted down because they carried treasure maps.
In order to let Li Congjia save people, Shi Xueting also said before that he would dedicate the treasure map to him.
But at that time it was an exchange, but now that Shi Xueting mentioned it, it was probably a surrender.
Li Congjia was not short of money before, and he didn't believe there was such a thing, so he refused.
Now that Shi Xueting brought up the old matter again, to be honest Li Congjia was tempted, but he didn't agree immediately, but said solemnly: "I will think carefully."
Shi Xueting was a little surprised. This treasure map was a timely help to Li Congjia. If he wanted to strengthen his team, this treasure was very important to him. Can stand still.
Shi Xueting didn't say any more, and asked again: "If the village master wants to be an enemy of Zhao Kuangyin, has he thought about an alias?"
"What?" Li Congjia was slightly taken aback.
Shi Xueting smiled and said, "Isn't it convenient for the real identity of the village master to be revealed?"
Li Congjia immediately understood Shi Xueting's meaning. If his identity was exposed, Zhao Kuangyin would immediately write a letter to Guo Rong to use troops against Southern Tang.
Li Congjia said smoothly: "The surname is still Li, the first name is... the first name is Yu, and the style name is Zhongyin."
After Li Congjia finished speaking, he felt a little guilty, but after thinking about it, this name was originally changed by the master himself. As for Zhong Yin, it is also his name, so there is nothing wrong with it.
The only thing wrong is probably that the name Li Yu originally represented the "emperor of ancient poetry", but now he has become an anti-thief leader.
But for the sake of my life, I'm sorry if I'm sorry.
Seeing that he had reminded everything he could, Shi Xueting didn't say any more, and let Li Congjia sit in the room thinking hard, and turned around to go out to practice.
Li Congjia was still worrying, but in this worry, there was a bit of confusion.
Before he said that he wanted to trouble Zhao Kuangyin, it could be said that it was because of his spirit, but now with the orderly progress of the matter, that spirit has not disappeared, but it has calmed him down.
Zhao Kuangyin is not easy to fight. If you want to fight him, you need not only weapons but also soldiers.
Now let’s not talk about whether we can afford it, but if we can really afford it, does Li Congjia really want to organize an army here?
If it is organized and won, then with the victory of the battle, his soldier will also appear in the eyes of the world, and his identity will not be concealed sooner or later.
How will he explain to Li Jing then?
Oh, being hunted down jointly by the Baijia Army and the Zhou Army, and then chased out his own army?It is still possible to defeat Zhou Jun's army. With this ability, he could have fled back to Southern Tang long ago. What does it mean to form an army by yourself?Want to rebel?
Li Congjia felt a headache, a very headache. If he could, he really wanted a strong assassin who could take the head of an enemy thousands of miles away, so that he could send someone to assassinate Zhao Kuangyin. Why would he need to anal with Zhao Kuangyin?
And as long as Zhao Kuangyin dies, Guo Rong will not live for two years, and Chai Zongxun is still young, so there is nothing to worry about, and the crisis in the Southern Tang Dynasty will be resolved.
Li Congjia closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and went back and forth in his mind with many ways, such as buying people around Zhao Kuangyin to poison him. Of course, this plan was rejected first. loyal.
The second way is to find a beauty to assassinate, create a chance encounter and find a way to get Zhao Kuangyin's favor. Of course, this method is also ruled out.
Not to mention how long it would take to train such a beauty killer, the most important thing is that no matter whether she succeeds or fails, this beauty will die in a smoldering death, which is really inhumane.
All conceivable solutions were ruled out, and in the end Li Congjia seemed to have only the original path left in his mind: what are you afraid of, just be upright!
Li Congjia had no choice but to change his method and began to think about how to get money.
In fact, if you really want to make money, there is still a way.
This method is to make money from the dead, which is commonly known as tomb robbery.
According to Li Congjia's memory, there are actually many large tombs around Jiangdu Mansion, such as the tomb of King Guangling of Han Dynasty, and the tomb of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
It’s just that such a method really challenges the lower limit. As an archaeologist, Li Congjia has always hated those desperadoes who rob graves. Does he want to do this for money now?
No, no, no, no matter how difficult it is for a person, there is still a bottom line. Li Congjia closed his eyes, and at worst, he turned around and found a way to do something else to make money. He didn’t believe that he had studied for so many years, and even some things that could be sold for money Can't do it!
When Li Congjia was fighting between heaven and man, Shi Yanlie hurried over and said, "Villager, just got the news that Zhao Kuangyin is going to Taizhou."
Li Congjia's heart tightened suddenly, and he asked tremblingly, "It's not enough for him to slaughter Guangling, should he go to Taizhou again?"
Shi Yanlie shook his head: "I don't know the exact reason, but my disciples have seen traces of their troops mobilizing, and it looks like they are going to Taizhou."
Li Congjia thought for a while and said: "Urge the carpenter to make what I need quickly. It is the only way to go to Taizhou. Then we will give Zhao Kuangyin a big gift."
Shi Yanlie's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay! I'll go right away!"
Li Congjia looked at the back of Shi Yanlie running out in a hurry, and frowned. He found that this group of monks was different from what he had imagined.
Has anyone ever seen a monk who can be a spy?Not to mention that the opponent's intentions can be predicted from the mobilization of the opponent's troops and horses. Such a scout is what many generals dream of.
Even if there are monks in Shaolin Temple, they are only used as guards, and they will definitely not be taught these things, and it seems that they are the only ones being hunted down in the entire Shaolin Temple, which is strange, really strange.
The most important thing is that these people seem to be very supportive of Li Congjia's rebellion. They are very obedient and plan to give him money. This is what puzzles Li Congjia the most.
But he put these questions aside for the time being, he will know some answers sooner or later, the most important thing for him is how to surprise Zhao Kuangyin.
Li Congjia invited Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie over, planning to study where it would be more appropriate to ambush.
So what surprised Li Congjia even more was that Shi Qingsong actually took out a map.
And this map, at a glance, knows that it was drawn recently.
Oh, these monks have a little more mystery: they can also draw maps.
This damn Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
Li Congjia suddenly felt a sense of crisis. If he didn't treat Shi Xueting very well at the beginning and really treated him as a male favorite, after these monks escaped from birth and joined Shi Xueting, next year's today, his grave will probably be Is it very long?
After Li Congjia carefully looked at the map, he reached out and clicked on a place and said, "I think this place is better."
It was a wasteland. Li Congjia chose this place mainly because there were no villages and towns nearby, so it would not affect others.
And with the current marching speed of the army, it must be getting late when we get there, and it is the most suitable place to set up camp.
And night is naturally the best time for a sneak attack.
Shi Yanlie thought for a while and didn't object, he just asked: "Village Master, that thing...do you want the disciples to try it first?"
Li Congjia gritted his teeth: "This time, Zhao Kuangyin will bring up to 1 people to Taizhou. To deal with these 1 people, we are barely able to deal with them. There is only one trial opportunity at most. You should choose people first and only rely on the two disciples." Not enough, you have to choose in the stockade and tell them that there will be meat to eat!"
When Li Congjia said these words, he felt that his heart was bleeding. He finally understood why scientific research is so expensive. He has not done scientific research yet. He just wanted to let everyone familiarize himself with the usage of Thunderbox. As a result, half of the inventory is just like this No, how could Li Congjia not feel distressed!
But compared with human life, spending a little money seems to be no problem.
Shi Yanlie took people to tinker with the training. Li Congjia didn't intend to interfere with this kind of thing. The method he knew was only suitable for military training of students, and the methods he had heard about for special forces were not suitable for use now.
At least he won't use it casually until he finds a good seedling. After all, not everyone can bear that inhuman training method.
Li Congjia found that he seemed to be in a state of doing nothing again. After choosing the ambush location, he didn't have to worry about the rest.
The poor and bored Li Congjia began to think of ways to improve his food. These days, most of the food he ate was baked or boiled. After a long time, Li Congjia began to miss hot pot and spicy dishes.
When he was in the palace before, he didn't dare to toss too much. After all, from a poet to a cook, neither Li Jing nor Queen Zhong could accept this setting, and it would be very troublesome.
But now no one can control him, he is the boss here!
The boss is extremely popular here. After all, after he came, the people in the village lived a life of food and clothing. When he started to study various recipes, his popularity became even higher.
At the beginning, Li Congjia only tossed some ordinary stir-fried vegetables, such as garlic and green vegetables. These days, there are green onions, ginger and garlic, but there is no chili, so Li Congjia has nothing to love.
Especially when he tossed out the braised pork and found that the taste was much worse without chili, he really wanted to find someone to go to sea to find chili.
Those spicy substitutes are not as enjoyable as chili peppers after all.
However, the braised pork that he despises so much has seduced other people's gluttons.
Li Congjia stared dumbfounded at Shi Yanlie sitting in front of him eating meat.
Not only Shi Yanlie, but even Shi Qingsong squinted his eyes to savor the delicious food. Li Congjia's doubts about the authenticity of these monks reached the peak.
Li Congjia couldn't help asking what he asked Shi Xueting before: "Aren't you monks vegetarian?"
Shi Yanlie's eating meat didn't stop him from talking: "Hey, I have relapsed a long time ago. Now that I have already relapsed, what difference does it make if I eat more or less?"
Li Congjia asked again: "Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you?"
Shi Qingsong took a piece of meat and chewed slowly before answering: "There is a Buddha in my heart, even if I break the precepts, I am still a Buddhist disciple."
Li Congjia smiled and said: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart?"
Shi Yanlie repeated this sentence, raised his eyebrows and said, "The village master is a great talent, that's what he meant, that's what he meant."
Li Congjia shook his head helplessly, seeing the two monks eating happily, and then looking at the young monks eating green vegetables, tofu and yellow rice at the next table, his heart moved.
At night, Li Congjia specially called Shi Xueting over, gave him a bowl of meat and said, "It's for you."
Shi Xueting was quite surprised, but he didn't refuse. During the day, they smelled the smell and salivated, but the master and uncle ate all the meat, and there was no soup left, so they could only eat it with regret. Tofu with green vegetables to swallow.
Li Congjia didn't leave much meat, only enough for Shi Xueting to taste something new for himself, and it was impossible to eat enough. In this case, the brotherhood in Shi Xueting's heart was thrown aside by him.
Li Congjia asked while watching him eat: "You said... If you open a shop in Taizhou or Jiangdu Prefecture to make such a living, will anyone buy it?"
Shi Xueting raised his head, swallowed the meat in his mouth and asked, "How much is the cost?"
Li Congjia couldn't hold back, reached out to wipe off the yellow rice grains around his mouth, and withdrew his hand nonchalantly, as if he hadn't done anything.
There was no expression on Shi Xueting's face, as if he didn't realize that Li Congjia's actions just now were too intimate, and he was still waiting for an answer.
Li Congjia thought about it carefully and replied: "Except for seasonings such as salt, sugar and soy sauce, there is almost no cost."
Of course there is no cost, the meat is wild boar, brought back by Shi Xueting from hunting with his juniors, it is no different from having no cost.
Shi Xueting pondered for a while: "If there are too many people, there might not be enough wild boars."
There are indeed many wild boars in the forest, but in such a large forest, it is impossible to encounter wild boars every time. If you want to open a shop, what should you do if you don't have any food?
Li Congjia smiled slightly: "Things are rare and expensive, and we can buy them in a limited amount every day."
Shi Xueting was a little surprised: "Will someone buy it?"
"Of course, if the marketing is good, some people will buy it if we set a higher price."
Hunger marketing, Li Congjia is very familiar with this, but people in this era may not know so much about it. Anyway, as long as the taste is good, there will naturally be someone to help promote it.
Moreover, Li Congjia did not intend to take the civilian route from the very beginning, small profits but high sales are not suitable for him. He needs a lot of money, so he has to pay for it from the pockets of those wealthy households.
Jiangdu Mansion was a good choice. It was prosperous enough, and after the Zhou army occupied it, there was no major movement, and the wealthy households were still there.
The more Li Congjia thought about it, the better it became. Shi Xueting thought for a while and said, "Then who do you want to let go?"
Li Congjia smiled and said, "It's time for Eleven Lang to learn to be on his own."
Shi Xueting didn't object. Although Yang Xin looked young, in real terms, he was only a little more than two years younger than Shi Xueting. Shi Xueting regarded him as a junior because Yang Xin was his disciple.
As for Li Congjia, although his body is 19 years old, his mental age is not 19 years old. Isn't Yang Xin just a child in his eyes?
Seeing that Shi Xueting also agreed, Li Congjia suddenly asked: "Your disciple... Do you still want him to be a monk?"
Shi Xueting was a little surprised: "Do you mind this?"
Li Congjia couldn't laugh or cry: "If you let him become a monk, I won't let him get involved in these worldly things. After all, he is a monk. I'm afraid that the Buddha will blame me."
Shi Xueting shook his head: "I'm not qualified to accept apprentices. I just wanted to appease him before. If that's the case, he should just be a lay disciple."
Li Congjia immediately felt relieved, he didn't want the people he trained to turn around and become monks!
Li Congjia did what he said, and after recruiting Yang Xin, he gave him a task: go to the street to set up a stall to sell braised pork!
Yang Xin was very surprised after hearing this: "Is this... okay?"
Li Congjia was quite surprised: "Why not?"
Yang Xin hesitated: "Won't Zhou's officials care?"
Li Congjia said with a smile: "No matter how strong the execution ability is...cough, the imperial court can't care about every aspect of a city. There are always some suitable places that can accommodate you. As for whether you can find it, that's up to you." It's up to you."
Yang Xin had a thoughtful look on his face, but he did not refuse. He is not young, and he is still being raised by Li Congjia and Shi Xueting. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being raised by his master, but the problem is that his master is Li Congjia is raising her.
His master has skills, but he has no skills, so Yang Xin is always worried that he will be abandoned one day.
So even though he was very nervous, Yang Xin took the braised pork that Li Congjia had prepared for him, and decided to go out to try it!
After Yang Xin left, Shi Xueting asked, "Didn't you tell him more?"
"Admonish what?"
Shi Xueting said: "Some points that need attention, after all, he doesn't understand some things."
Li Congjia said very frankly: "He doesn't understand, and I don't understand either. If I understand, I will go by myself."
Shi Xueting... Speechless, he really never thought that Li Congjia would be so unreliable, and he would just do it with a pat on the head. If he had known... hey, if he had known, he would not be able to stop these two people.
Yang Xin is eager to try, and Li Congjia is really short of money.
Li Congjia didn't put all his treasures on Yang Xin, he was still thinking about other ways to make money, but at this time, some people couldn't stand it anymore.
Li Congjia was quite surprised when Yunniang came to her.
Ever since she came to this cottage, Yunniang has kept herself safe and rarely appeared in front of Li Congjia.
Come here suddenly now, could it be that someone bullied her?
Li Congjia made up a lot of brainstorming, but Li Congjia was dumbfounded when Yunniang opened her mouth.
"Lang Jun's status is precious, why should he be willing to degenerate and handle lowly slaves?"
Li Congjia was at a loss: "A cheap servant?"
Yun Niang gritted her teeth and said, "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, not to mention that a businessman is already low in status. Why should Mr. Lang bother with these things?"
There was a thunderbolt, and Li Congjia couldn't help but knocked his head. In vain, he used to know all kinds of status and classes in ancient times, but he still unknowingly brought modern people's views on him.
But why was it Yunniang who raised this question?
Didn't Shi Xueting and the others find out?
If those monks cheated him, he would not believe it, after all, he was raising these monks now.
Yunniang came to remind her out of good intentions, and Li Congjia was grateful, and said softly, "I know what you said, are you still used to it these days? Has anyone bullied you?"
A smile bloomed on Yunniang's face: "Mr. Lao Lang is concerned, I am fine here."
Li Congjia thought for a while and said: "I may be very busy recently, and I don't have much time to cook. Why don't I give you the recipe, and you discuss with Yang Xin how to do this business. I only have one request, the accounts must be clear!"
Yun Niang was taken aback: "Don't dare!"
Li Congjia smiled and said, "Why don't you dare?"
Yun Niang hesitated and said: "This recipe is the secret recipe of Mr. Lang's family, how about..."
Li Congjia waved his hand: "What should I be? If you follow me, you will naturally be considered my family. When I go back in the future, I will apply for a household registration for you. Now work hard, help me work, and save some money for yourself." In the future, whether you marry or not, you will have someone to rely on."
Yunniang was very moved, knowing that Li Congjia was really thinking of her, she was even more determined in her heart. As for Li Congjia's marriage... She didn't want to for the time being. When she made a deal with Yang Xin, it was just a lonely woman in troubled times. Zhong wanted to find a place for himself to settle down.
At that time, she didn't know what kind of person Yang Xin was and what kind of character he was, but she had no choice, and now she has a choice, so naturally she wouldn't have to join forces with Yang Xin.
Li Congjia wrote down several stewed vegetables recipes and handed them to Yunniang, saying, "I can report it once a month from now on, go find Yang Xin."
Yunniang led the order to go, and Li Congjia thought about it and ran to find Shi Xueting who was supervising the training of the juniors.
Seeing him coming, Shi Xueting frowned and said, "Why did the village master come here? It's dangerous here, go back quickly."
Li Congjia looked at the smoky and smoky appearance on the mountain, and felt that he had done something wrong, and the pollution was too serious.
While covering his nose, he pulled Shi Xueting aside and asked, "Ask you a question. Do you think I'm a lowly servant if I cook and do business?"
Shi Xueting is so smart, when he heard him say that, he suddenly understood: "We were negligent, you shouldn't have done these things."
Li Congjia raised his eyebrows: "Neglect?"
Shi Xueting clasped his hands together and saluted: "In the eyes of Buddhist disciples, all living beings are equal, no matter whether you are an emperor or a peddler, there is no difference. How can we think that you are a lowly slave when you work for everyone?"
Li Congjia was relieved, he finally understood why he felt that he fit in well with this group of monks, and the ideas he brought from later generations actually coincided with this group of monks.
However, he is more noble than him. If Li Congjia saw low-status servants or poor family members, even if he would not despise them, he might feel a little despised in his heart, but this group of monks treats you equally no matter what your status is.
Perhaps this is another kind of contempt for imperial power and class.
Li Congjia didn't ask too many questions, but just said: "I left the business to Yunniang and Yang Xin. They can do whatever they want. If you want to teach Yang Xin something, let him tell me. , I'll find someone else."
Shi Xueting shook his head: "I don't know what to teach him, and I don't know what is good for him to do. I was a little lethargic before, but now it's fine, give him something to do."
Li Congjia laughed: "It's too easy for you to be a master. This is freeing you."
Shi Xueting didn't answer, but just said: "I just received a letter from my second senior brother, it is said that Zhao Kuangyin has set off, but the army is moving slowly, and it may take a day to reach the chosen place. Shall we go to ambush now?"
Li Congjia stared: "When did the news come? Why did you say it now? The military situation is urgent."
Shi Xueting smiled: "Don't worry, I have already asked the eighth junior brother to take people to the spot first."
Li Congjia felt at ease with him, but he always felt that something was not right, and after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he nodded and said, "Then prepare, let's go later." He hesitated and said, "I... ..."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Shi Xueting said, "It's better for the village master to stay in the village to stabilize people's hearts."
Li Congjia breathed a sigh of relief, and went down the donkey: "Alright, who will lead the team this time? Are you still Master Xuehe?"
Shi Xueting shook his head and said: "I have to discuss this matter with Master and his elders."
Li Congjia laughed and said, "Instead of asking Master Qingsong about this matter, it is better to ask Master Yanlie."
Shi Xueting thought about it too, and said: "Then I will go back with the village master."
After the two returned to the village, it happened that Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie were talking about something together.
Li Congjia asked loudly: "The two masters are discussing Buddhism?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a map on the stone table between the two of them, and couldn't help laughing, these two monks always brought him surprises.
Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie stood up and saluted him together, Shi Qingsong asked: "The village master came in person, is there something important?"
Li Congjia pointed to Shi Xueting and said, "Let Master Xueting speak."
Shi Xueting recounted all the news he had received and his arrangements, and when the words were about the same, he saw his master and uncle frowning together, he couldn't help but temporarily silenced his voice, not knowing what he did wrong.
Li Congjia also noticed it, and just wanted to ask, but saw Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie looked at each other and saluted Li Congjia together.
Li Congjia was taken aback: "What is this?"
Shi Qingsong's face was solemn: "The poor monk is not strict in discipline, so please ask the village master to punish him."
Li Congjia was a little confused: "What?"
Shi Qingsong turned his head to look at Shi Xueting and shouted: "Evil, don't kneel down yet!"
Although Shi Xueting was puzzled, he knelt down very obediently.
Li Congjia was really flustered: "No, it was fine just now, what's wrong?"
Shi Qingsong said earnestly: "It's this evil person who has done something wrong. The village master will beat him up and punish him. The poor monk will never say anything else."
Li Congjia smiled wryly: "Master, you've confused me, Master Xueting... What mistakes did he make?"
Shi Qingsong said indifferently: "Thanks to the village master for not giving up, although we have not made an oath, we are still following the village master. Naturally, the village master should be the first in everything. This evil animal decides without authorization, and naturally he did something wrong."
After Li Congjia heard it, he suddenly realized that he said that something was wrong just now. It turned out that Shi Xueting had been acting too aggressive recently. The series of orders just now can be regarded as military orders. If it is more formal, he should issue orders. Shi Xueting can speak out his suggestion, but it should be Li Congjia who gave the order in the end.
After all, Li Congjia is the owner of this village.
However, Li Congjia's political sensitivity is not particularly keen. He just noticed something was wrong but didn't think about it. Now that Shi Qingsong has made the matter clear, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Li Congjia glanced at Shi Xueting with a complex expression, and then said: "Master Xueting should also be unintentional, we... are not a regular army, let's forget this time, and the action is imminent, so we should not make any further complications."
Shi Qingsong didn't say much, looked down at Shi Xueting and shouted: "Evil, why don't you thank the village master for your forgiveness?"
Shi Xueting kowtowed and said: "It's the poor monk who lost his sense, thank the village master for not punishing him."
Li Congjia shook his head and said: "Let's forget about this matter first, we came here to ask Master Yanlie if he has a good strategy against the enemy?"
Shi Yanlie chuckled and said, "With the strong weapon of the village master, what strategy do we need to deal with the enemy?"
Li Congjia laughed suddenly, as long as he found a good place to throw things out, Zhao Kuangyin would lose if he couldn't even touch their side, what strategy is there?
"Since that's the case, I'll thank you all and leave." After Li Congjia finished speaking, he left there. He needed to find a place to think about it.
After Li Congjia left, Shi Qingsong looked at Shi Xueting who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Are you unwilling?"
Shi Xueting shook his head: "I never thought about what to fight for."
Shi Qingsong closed his eyes: "Master, I know that this is an instinct imprinted in your blood. You just want power. But have you ever thought that if you emptied him, unless you killed him, you would be the ones in the future?" Enemy, what you have to face is the wrath of the entire Nantang."
Shi Xueting's face turned pale: "I never thought of becoming an enemy of him!"
Shi Qingsong sighed: "I didn't think about doing things more carefully in the future. From now on, it seems that this man is not a merciless person. You and him can be regarded as sharing weal and woe. As long as your request is not too much, he will not refuse you. Don't be cold. touched people's hearts."
Before Shi Xueting could reply, Shi Yanlie said: "You can let go of the restoration of the lintel for now, this village owner is not stupid, he would rather find a way to manage the lowly slaves by himself than ask you for the treasure map. Don't you know yet?"
Shi Xueting closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Seeing that Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie had said the same thing, they let him go out to arrange the next sneak attack.
After Li Congjia returned to his room, his brows frowned.
Although it was pointed out that Shi Xueting had exceeded his power just now, Li Congjia didn't feel any sense of crisis. He left the matter to others, and Shi Xueting made the decision without authorization. He can't be blamed. It was Shi Qingsong who really made Li Congjia vigilant.
Although he is the owner of the village now, Shi Qingsong is the one with the most power, and all the monks listen to him, which means that the entire armed forces of the village are in his hands!
If Shi Qingsong had any evil intentions, then Li Congjia had almost no ability to fight back.
Of course, Shi Qingsong shouldn't be able to do this kind of thing, but it's okay if he didn't realize it before, but now that he realizes it, Li Congjia has to start thinking carefully, whether he wants to change his strategy.
So many history books have made it clear that the court has checks and balances, and one family cannot dominate.
This is true not only for the court, but for any power. If one power is too large, it will not be a good thing for the superior.
What Li Congjia needs to do now is probably to start cultivating another force to fight against the monk group.
To be honest, Li Congjia knows a lot about ways to cultivate influence, after all, he has most of the history of flower growers in his mind.
But after studying for a long time, he felt a little confused: Why did he do this?Isn't he staying here just to kill Zhao Kuangyin?After killing Zhao Kuangyin, he just patted his ass and left. Why did he make it look like he wanted to become king?
Li Congjia sighed deeply, he felt that he was being led astray, he was not the one who wanted to be king here, but Shi Qingsong and the others sent him a signal that this problem...is a bit serious.
When he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, opened the door and found Shi Xueting standing outside, his bald head was very conspicuous under the moonlight.
If the scalp is smoother, it may be able to reflect light and be used as a light bulb.
Thinking of this, Li Congjia wanted to laugh but felt that he was too disrespectful to others, so he quickly suppressed his smile and said, "Is the mage coming late at night for something important?"
Seeing Li Congjia's smiling face, Shi Xueting was quite surprised. He thought that the other party would be unhappy, after all, no matter who finds out that someone from below wants to take away his power, they probably won't be too happy.
Shi Xueting came in and said, "I'm here to apologize."
Li Congjia raised his eyebrows and looked at his back: "Apology for the crime? Where is Jing?"
Shi Xueting heard the ridicule in his tone, and was even more surprised. Seeing his appearance, Li Congjia couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, it's not a big deal, but a village, I haven't taken it seriously yet."
What he said was very understatement, Shi Xueting heard the subtext, and reminded: "It is always good for the village master to have a hidden soldier in his hand."
Li Congjia was taken aback: "You are like this
