Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 5 Li Guang's Bow String Strength

South of the city, Xiaolianzi Street.

Li Yuanfang's home is at the end of the street.

After entering the yard, Li Yan turned around, and said to the two who were carrying the boxes behind, "You two Marquis Wu have worked hard."

"Alang's words are serious, we can't afford it!"

These two are Zhang Huan and He Jing, the servants assigned to Li Yan by An County Captain.

They all have square faces, flat nose bridges, small eyes, one is tall and the other is a little thin.

They put down the box, cupped their fists and said, "Ah Lang, if there is anything else, just ask!"

"Let me consider."

Li Yan went to the box and opened it, revealing strands of silk.

This is equivalent to a large box of money.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the "both use of money and silk" system, "money" is copper money, and "silk" is silk.

There are often emperors who reward a certain minister with [-] or [-] pieces of silk, even as a reward, the amount is not small.

Li Yan opened the box directly, not to show off his wealth. He took out a piece of cloth and asked, "In Liangzhou, how much money can this piece be exchanged for?"

"Beautiful weavers and brilliant colors!"

He Jing stepped forward and looked at it: "This one sells for at least 1 coins. If Hu merchants are in a hurry to collect it, one horse can be sold for 900 coin."

1 string of money is what is commonly known as 1 string of money in later generations. In the Tang Dynasty, it was equivalent to 1000 Wen. The string of wire is the rope used to wear copper coins.

Li Yan is not in charge of the family and doesn't know how expensive firewood is, so he is secretly dumbfounded.

In his impression, the selling price of a piece of fine silk cloth in the Tang Dynasty was about 1 Wen. How could it be doubled?
Zhang Huan observed the words and expressions from the side, and explained: "Since the war with the bandits, the market price has been rising day by day. This is a fair price, and I dare not lie."

Li Yan suddenly said: "So that's the case."

Once there is a war, the price of goods will inevitably soar. This is the most difficult point for the ancient people.

You must know that after the Anshi Rebellion, the price of goods has directly increased tenfold, and it is not enough now. Zhang Huan said again: "Here in Liangzhou, originally 1 renminbi can buy 2 eggs, 5 renminbi for 1 liter of vinegar, 11 renminbi for 1 bucket of rice ( About 12.5 catties), 40 renminbi a chicken, 50 renminbi a catty of salt, 600 renminbi a pig, now it’s going to increase by three or four cents..."

Li Yan calculated silently.

Before the Anshi Rebellion, one penny in the early Tang Dynasty was equivalent to two yuan in later generations. Compared with the prices of daily necessities, most of them were okay, except for salt and cloth.

There is nothing to do with salt, but cloth and silk are not all at this price.

The coarse cloth worn by ordinary people can be bought for a few tens of pennies, and one can be used to make two sets of clothes.

The big box that Qiu Ying gave not only contained high-grade brocade, but also four sets of finished clothes. Li Yan made a preliminary estimate, and he had a good idea of ​​the current assets.

He is very interested in money, because without money is absolutely impossible. The material conditions in ancient times were inherently poor.

You can change your life now, and it is also the fastest and most convenient way to buy people's hearts with money.

Li Yan took two pieces of cloth from it and handed them to Zhang Huan and He Jing respectively: "The two are capable officials, and I will take care of them next."

The two were moved: "Although Ah Lang ordered, we are low in status, how dare we accept such generous gifts!"

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, I've always thought so."

Li Yan waved his hands, his face was neither red nor his heart was beating, and his tone was sincere: "You call me Liulang if you call me Liulang!"

"I can't make it, I can't make it... Oh, look at my hand, why can't I do it..."

The two declined, and took it honestly.

As a servant under Hu Cao, the monthly salary is not high and there are many benefits.

But generally speaking, after they support their family, they don’t have much left over. Sometimes they have to work hard for several months before they can save spare money to buy a good bolt of cloth.

Among the people in Liangzhou, this is already a wealthy family.

Now that I have a white horse, my wife and children will be very happy to take it home. If I hire a tailor, I will have decent new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year.

Delicious.

But the two of them looked at the short brown sackcloth Li Yan was wearing, and at the few houses in his house. Although they were not so poor that they were bare, they obviously didn't have much spare money.

After such a young gentleman suddenly gained wealth, he gave it away without hesitation. Zhang Huanhe looked at each other, and his heart beat faster.

Compared with a piece of cloth, being able to build a relationship with this person may be a greater reward!
Without any further hesitation, the two crossed their hands in unison: "Thank you Liulang!"

Li Yan smiled: "What's going on in the city recently, let me know, I like to join in the fun..."

The two of them kept in mind, with a hundred intentions, they saluted again: "Yes!"

After watching the two leave happily holding the cloth, Li Yan picked up the box with one hand and walked to the backyard.

Entering the backyard, the first thing that catches the eye is a tree of yellow apricots.

The apricot trees were lush and lush, covering half of the courtyard, and the spreading branches not only protruded from the wall, but some even extended to the roof in the distance.

Standing under the tree is a man in coarse cloth, who seems to be only middle-aged, but has a sense of the vicissitudes of the world. He is chopping firewood, and the sleeve of his right arm is empty, accompanied by chopping movements, fluttering in the wind.

This self-proclaimed dumb uncle, his real name is unknown.

"Master, I'm back!"

Uncle Dumb taught Li Yuanfang's martial arts, and Uncle Dumb also got the recommendation for admission to the school, so he was the first to report the good news.

Seeing Uncle Dumb turned his head, Li Yan smiled and said, "Just now a Qianniu Beishen from Chang'an said that I am the sixth son of Duke Wei, and that my grandfather is Duke Li, the hero who destroyed the Turks and Tuyuhun! "

Accompanied by Li Yan's description, Uncle Dumb was chopping firewood while listening, his expression always calm.

Li Yan talked about Qiu Ying's attitude, the change of his classmates, and the two guards. He picked out a set of finished clothes and started changing.

He put on a light blue gown with round neck and narrow sleeves, and a soap scarf. What he liked most was the xiè (xiè) around his waist.

This ancient belt has a powerful storage function, with ten buttons in a circle.

Those Jiang Huzi who travel the world want to hang swords and weapons, flutes and fans, not just stick them on their belts, but buckle them on their scorpions.

Li Yan was not interested in Sao Bao's fan flute, but he buckled the hip flask to his waist, and immediately felt a little more relaxed.

He turned around, Buddha depends on gold clothing, people rely on clothing, and the attribute panel has changed again.

[Appearance: 3 (true-average)] → [Appearance: 4 (almost unrecognizable in clothes)]

Li Yan grinned: "Master, how is it?"

The dumb uncle nodded slightly, but frowned faintly.

Why hasn't this child been seen for a long time, and it seems to be different?

But if you look closely, it seems that nothing has changed, which is really strange.

Fortunately, they are all rough guys, so they don't care much about this. When Li Yan proposed to practice martial arts, the dumb uncle immediately put down his axe, took a slender wooden stick, and wrote on the ground: "Practice Li Guang's bowstring strength today."

"it is good!"

Li Yan took off his new clothes, changed into a bunt, walked to the center of the backyard, and put on a posture.

After merging the memory of this world, he found that the martial arts here are different from what he imagined.

What has been handed down in the world is not a certain book of magical skills, but a variety of strength cultivation methods.

Strength is similar to true qi, which flows in the body, but unlike true qi, it needs to open up the meridians to grow stronger.

Often when the physique is strong, the energy will naturally burst out, and then like a curious and naughty child, he walks among the limbs.

How to control strength, turn it into one's own use, and turn it into a force like an arm's command is the focus of research by warriors of all ages.

Throughout the ages, warriors on the battlefield, knight-errant assassins, gentry masters, Taoists and Buddhists all have different opinions on the cultivation method of strength.

Generations of capable people have improved and created themselves, brought forth the new through the old, and derived many methods of strength.

Among them, the masters are often well-known figures in history.

Bowstring strength is said to have originally originated from Yi, the monarch of the Qiong family in Xia Shi, and was carried forward by Li Guang in the Han Dynasty.

Although Li Guang was jokingly called Marquis of Milu in later generations, his personal strength is very strong. Interestingly, the Li family in Longxi claims to be Li Guang's descendant, and the secret of Gongxian Jin is also in the Li family in Longxi.

Uncle Dumb's move is quite meaningful.

But when Li Yan put on a stance, no matter whether it was Li Guang, Li Jing, or the five surnames and seven clans, they were all forgotten.

Only concentration and single-mindedness remained.

Traveling to ancient times, the most desperate thing is the loss of all entertainment activities.

No mobile phones, no Internet, no electrical appliances.

What you know and see during the day is the things around you. You can no longer eat melons remotely, and you are concerned about the meetings between the two countries and international trends.

At night, the lights are like beans, and I see things dangling. After a long time, my eyes are very uncomfortable.

This kind of life has forced Li Yan, a night owl, into a health-preserving person who works day and night at sunrise...

The lack of material is nothing, but the spiritual emptiness is the most tormenting.

From extravagance to frugality is difficult!
Ever since, when he came into contact with the true biography of a famous general that he did not have in his previous life, Li Yan devoted himself to practicing martial arts with great enthusiasm.

Now, the enthusiasm has risen to sixteen points.

The change of family background can make the contributions not be buried and get the rewards they deserve.

The martial arts of being invincible all over the world is the foundation of success!

"Master..."

"Please accept!"

　Thanks to the book friends "Tian Yiyun", "Teacher Zhenda", "The Great Librarian of the Library", "It's a cool autumn", and "Bai Lankong" for their rewards.
