Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 7 Li Gui meets Li Kui

Judging from what the other side is doing, they are not bad people, they should all be honest farmers dealing with the land.

In the face of survival, the moral bottom line is always very low.

Before doing anything, Qin Hao rushed to say: "Several people, the year of the catastrophe is all about living, and it is not easy for everyone. Let's discuss it, how about a peaceful solution?"

"Peaceful settlement?"

Qin Hao said: "Brother, I have more than a dozen people here. The weapons are better than yours, and I have bows. In a real fight, even if you win, you will definitely suffer heavy losses. Why both sides suffer? I don't think any of them are bad guys. How about this, how about you and my two families join forces and go to Luoyang to eat together, you are responsible for protecting us, and we use food as a reward, how about it?"

The man on the opposite side was stunned, unexpectedly there was such an operation, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and found that there was no reason to refuse.

They were also forced to make such a bad move. Putting morality aside, the big shining bow on the other side made them a little frightened, and they were not sure if they really fought. It would be better than this .

The man who had just stood up pondered for a while, and said, "There are not only six of us in our village, but also twenty or so female relatives and more than 30 children. Can you guarantee the food for us all the way to Luoyang?"

Without even thinking about it, Qin Hao said, "Okay, we can still buy it if we run out of food, and I can make money if I don't have enough money, how about it? If we have to fight, we won't be afraid of you."

Unexpectedly, the man actually knelt down to Qin Hao again, "Xiao Langjun Gaoyi, Liu has thanked him on behalf of all the elders in Liujia Village. From now on, my Liu Ergou's life will be yours. I will go to Luo- If something happens to Yang, the six of us will die before you."

This shocked Qin Hao enough.

You must know that this is the Tang Dynasty, a feudal society, and keeping one's word is one of the basic social laws, especially the men in Guanzhong are a nail for spitting, and they will definitely do what they say.

The other five men unexpectedly followed suit, all knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Lang, for saving your life."

Qin Hao pretended to nod majesticly, but in fact he was already happy, and ordered: "Since you still have a wife and children, come over to get food, call the family to eat a little, and go together."

Daniel secretly called Qin Hao aside, and whispered: "Brother, we don't have much food, it's enough for us people to barely eat Luoyang, if we share with them, I'm afraid it will be half the way." I can't stand it any longer."

Qin Hao comforted and said: "It's okay, it's better than fighting with your hands, otherwise even if you win, it will be a miserable victory, not to mention that we have a team of children, and there is no adult, and it is really annoying to walk on the road, and we can save money with them." It’s a lot of trouble to go there, as for the food, if there is a small town in the front, you can buy some, and see if you can buy more weapons for self-defense.”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

In the time it took to speak, the big troops from Liujia Village arrived.

There are fifty or sixty fleeing teams in the whole village, but there are only six strong men. This is the current situation in Guanzhong after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The root cause of the sharp rise in status, I heard that Hebei was even worse off, and there may not be one man in a middle-aged man among a hundred women in a village.

Cooking soup and cakes, eating, the two groups of people who were at war just now, stirred the ladles in the cauldron, and they quickly became familiar with each other, but Qin Hao frowned tightly.

The pressure is even greater.

There is one thing I didn’t tell Daniel that in this famine year, gold may not have much purchasing power. Even if they bought all of their gold pancakes, they might not be enough for food, not to mention that there will be more places to use money in the future. However, the imperial court only allowed the victims to fend for themselves, without any real power, all the gold leaf from the treasury was given to the Turks, and all the money they saved was used to fight Liang Shidu.

It seems... I have to think of a way to get money.

After a few mouthfuls of soup cakes, the children became energetic. The adults in Liujia Village were not familiar with each other for the time being, but the thirty or so children quickly became one with each other. These children were seven or eight to seventeen or eighteen Both, and met so many new friends suddenly, and soon turned into a chattering little monkey.

Qin Hao was thinking about ways to make money while eating soup cakes, and he was thinking about various time-travel novels one by one in his mind, but after thinking about it for a long time, Te Niang's stupefied was that none of them could be used.

Salt?This thing was strictly controlled in the feudal society than the guns of later generations.

Sugar?Sugarcane was not imported from Tianzhu until the last year of Zhenguan.

Alcohol and perfume?

If he is willing to study, he will not worry about not being able to experiment. High-grade wine is just a few times of steaming and brewing, but Datang's management of wine-making may not be much looser than that of salt. If he dared to spend food to make wine, it would not be getting rich, but courting death.

It is estimated that even Li Shimin would not dare to make wine on a large scale now.

What else is available?
As for making glass, soap and even black and yellow gunpowder, Qin Hao, who was a liberal arts student, said he was stunned.

Just when he was thinking hard about the way to make a fortune, a group of younger brothers and sisters had already surrounded him, some brought them and some from Liujia Village, bouncing around in a big circle: "Brother, brother, we want to listen to Monkey King!" s story."

Qin Hao was interrupted by them from his contemplation, and smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then the elder brother will continue to tell you about Sun Monkey."

The story of Journey to the West continued after the father and mother were killed, but after the monkey grandson was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain, it was full of stories about Tang Sanzang, which made these furry children scratch their ears and cheeks impatiently.

This passage is very slow, because I don’t know who the author of Journey to the West is, what dynasty or generation, (Wu Chengen’s writing Journey to the West is quite far-fetched), but he was stunned to throw a lot of historical celebrities into such a fairy tale , Tang Taizong, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Yuchi Jingde, etc., these people are all alive, which is very embarrassing, he had to make up a dynasty randomly, which seriously delayed the speed , So after such a long time, I just talked about Guanyin becoming a golden cicada.

As for Xuanzang, they are all replaced by Tang Sanzang. The so-called Sanzang refers to those who are proficient in Vinaya, Sutras, and Lunzang. As long as they are eminent monks with great virtues, they can be called Sanzang Dharma Masters, and they do not belong to Xuanzang alone.

"It is said that after Master Sanzang was enlightened by Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, Sanzang returned to Hongfu Temple and said to the monks: I have made a great vow. If I don't take the scriptures, I will fall into hell forever. It is probably because of the favor of the king. Don’t be loyal to serve the country’s ears. My going is really uncertain, good or bad. Apprentices, after I go, maybe three or two years, or five or seven years, but I will come back when I see the pine branches facing east in the mountain gate; otherwise, There is no going back."

All the children listened with gusto, but after all, there was no grandson monkey, and their interest was not particularly high, but they heard a loud voice like a Hong bell suddenly coming from not far behind, saying: "Okay!"

"This Master Sanzang really deserves to be a role model for my Buddhist school. The young monk must follow the example of the ancients and swear not to return to the court without taking the scriptures."

Qin Hao was taken aback, then turned his head, but saw a monk in ragged clothes, but although the monk was dressed in rags, his face was as graceful as jade, with a faint sense of grandeur, it was hard to tell his age, even in his 20s, You can be in your 30s, or you can be in your 50s or [-]s. Every move seems to have a unique charm.

Qin Hao didn't dare to be negligent, and performed a Buddhist ceremony, saying, "I don't know the master's name?"

"Poor monk, Xuanzang."
