It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 269

Cheng Dalei didn't know how to answer Li Xingzai's question, whether to talk to you about the economic foundation to determine the superstructure, or the inherent contradiction between vested interests and the lower class people, or the relationship between productivity and society... The key is that Cheng Dalei himself doesn't understand these things.

He can only try to explain that a house has been standing for a long time, and the wind and rain will catch up with it, and one day it will collapse. This is something no one can change.

Could it be that the broken house can't be repaired again? Li Xingzai asked, Fill the tiles where the rain is leaking, and the termites will be repelled, and the pillars should be erected?

Li Xingzai asked the same question as Emperor Ming, and the answer was the same, so simple that only three words were needed. However, it was obvious that Li Xingzai's vision was farther than that of Emperor Ming. Emperor Ming only asked if the empire could defeat the Rong. What Li Xingzai thought about was where the problem of the empire was.

Can the Empire defeat the Rong? can. But the problem still exists. The house that should be blown down by the wind and rain will eventually collapse.

A room has been patched a lot, and a lot of pillars have been erected. If you study how the predecessors repaired and repaired it, you will definitely think wow, this tile is repaired well, and this pillar stands wonderfully. But it's better and better. It is easier to burn it down and build it again.”

When Cheng Dalei said this, Li Xingzai listened very carefully, and Fudler was also listening. After listening, Li Xingzai's expression became even more decadent, but Cheng Dalei didn't think so. Anyway, a keyboard warrior, he doesn't need to be responsible for his own words, and Cheng Dalei is not the owner of this broken house.

Still concentrate on doing the promising job of Bandit.

In the evening, the brothers who went out to inquire about the news gradually returned, and everyone gathered together to exchange the information they had obtained.

There are five cities near Qinchuan Pass, and the closest city is called Haojia City. If you want to expel the snakes entrenched on Snake Island, you need a large amount of realgar, which may only be gathered in Haojia City.

Master, there is another question, we have no money now? Xu Shenji asked a question.

When he left Chang'an City, Cheng Dalei lost all his family wealth, and now he is really poor, starting from scratch.

Are we thieves? We will rob anything we need and do what we need money for. Cheng Dalei waved his hand vigorously: From tomorrow onwards, everyone will do nothing but rob Realgar. How many robberies are there in the surrounding small villages and towns? How much, must be fast, fast.

Even if you grab it like this, it's not easy to gather a large amount of realgar in a short time. Li Xingzai asked.

Then it's up to you. Cheng Dalei smiled.

Rely on me, rely on me for what? Li Xingzai suddenly felt a chill down his spine: The surname is Cheng, let me tell you, I'm here to study and study, don't take me and be a bandit with you.

...

The next day, Cheng Dalei, Xu Shenji, Li Xingzai, and Fudele entered Haojia City.

First, they found a ready-to-wear shop and made two sets of clothes for Li Xingzai and Fudler. Then they found the soup pool to bathe and cleanse the two of them.

I really don't know what kind of life the two have experienced, and they have a sour taste all over their bodies. Compared with them, Cheng Dalei suddenly feels that he is also a delicate little boy.

When the two came out of the soup pool, their whole body was completely new. Li Xingzai was dressed in a purple-patterned brocade robe, with black temples and a folding fan in his hand.

At this time, Xu Shenji had already returned from inquiring about the news. The largest crude drug store in the city was a store called Xinglintang. The owner's surname was Ximen.

Cheng Dalei, what exactly do you want me to do? Li Xingzai hadn't figured it out yet.

Shh, keep quiet, now I'm a wanted person, you shouldn't want to be locked up again. Cheng Dalei said.

Then what are we going to do? Li Xingzai lowered his voice.

Go buy realgar.

Aren't we out of money?

A group of four came to the front of Xinglin Hall, and saw the shop in the row, which was the most stylish place on the street.

The four came to the door, and before they entered, they saw a middle-aged man being rushed inside and pushed out.

The middle-aged man cupped his hands and begged the door: Please, shopkeeper Lin, have mercy on me, my wife has been sick for three months, and she is waiting for medicine to save her life.

What kind of place do you think this is, the Charity Hall, open the door to do business, and get out of here without money.

A man with a two-stroke beard stood under the eaves. When he saw Li Xingzai, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, Is this young master here to buy medicine?

Cheng Dalei took out a hanging copper plate and threw it to the man, and followed Li Xingzai into the Xinglin Hall.

Where is your boss, I'll discuss some business with him. Li Xingzai glanced at the environment in Xinglin Hall.

There is also a silk and satin shop on the front street of our owner. I don't come to the pharmacy often. I will make the decision here. You can just talk to me. Manager Lin said.

Talk to you, do I have to talk to you? Li Xingzai waved his hand and said, Let's go.

Young master, rest your anger. Cheng Dalei hurriedly stopped him and said to the shopkeeper Lin, We came from Qinchuan Pass. If we want to buy a large amount of realgar, it is best to invite your owner out.

Mo Mingmi of Qinchuan Pass was half a soldier and half a bandit. It was a half-open secret here. When he heard that this group of people came from Qinchuan, Manager Lin immediately took it seriously.

My boss is really not here... Manager Lin lowered his voice: The boss has recently been on good terms with Mrs. Pan from the West City. I'm afraid we're going to have a drink together, so we don't dare to bother. How much realgar do you want, it's the same as talking to me. .

Miss Pan, a senior official of Ximen? Cheng Dalei's eyes lit up: Your boss is a compound surname Ximen, and his single name is Qing?

No, our owner's name is Chunchang. Manager Lin was confused: What's wrong?

Nothing, think of an acquaintance, let's talk business, right?

Therefore, Li Xingzai's every move is the style of the king. To put it simply, he is squatting on the ground and picking his nostrils. He is also the sixth prince of the empire who picks his nostrils. This is not something anyone can pretend to be. .

This scene really frightened shopkeeper Lin, so the two sides negotiated smoothly. Cheng Dalei purchased a boat of realgar at a high price, and Xinglintang was responsible for delivering it to Qinchuan.

Three days, at most three days, to deliver the goods your son wants. Manager Lin patted his chest and assured.

As things went so smoothly, Cheng Dalei and the four were also relieved.

It's just that, does the son pay a deposit first, so that we can arrange the work of the subordinates?

Li Xingzai was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to see a sly light flashing in Manager Lin's triangular eyes.

Any deposit? Li Xingzai paused and took out a jade pendant from his arms: Do you think this is enough?
