Chapter 9 Li Gui meets Li Kui
Judging from what the opposite is doing, they are not bad people. They should be farmers who are honestly dealing with the land.
In the face of survival, the bottom line of morality is always very low.
Qin Hao took advantage of the move and rushed to say, "Several, the year of disaster is for living, it is not easy for everyone. Let's discuss it, how about a peaceful solution?"
"Peaceful resolution?"
Qin Hao said: "Brother, I have more than a dozen people here, and my weapons are better than you. I have bows. Even if you can win, you will definitely suffer heavy losses. Why both sides suffer losses? I think that the few of them are not bad people, so why not do this? You and I will just 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 opposite was stunned. He didn't expect that there would be such an operation. He lowered his head and thought for a while, but found that he could not find any reason to refuse.
They were forced to make this decision because they were forced to do so. Not to mention morality, the bright big bow on the opposite side made them a little scared. They were not sure if they really fought. It would be better than this.
The man who had just stood up thought and said, "It's not just six of us in our village, but there are about twenty women and more than thirty children. Can you guarantee the food we have all the way to Luoyang?"
Qin Hao said without thinking: "Yes, we can still buy it after we have no food. I can make money if I don't have enough money. How about it? If we have to fight, we are not afraid of you."
Unexpectedly, the man actually knelt down to Qin Hao again, "Little man Gao Yi, Liu thanked the husband for all the young people in Liujia Village. From now on, I, Liu Ergou, will be my husband's life. If there is really something wrong with Luoyang, we six men will die in front of you."
This shocked Qin Hao very much.
You should know that this was the Tang Dynasty, a feudal society, and having faith in words is one of the basic social laws. Especially the men in Guanzhong were even more spitting out and spitting out, and they would definitely do what they said.
The other five men actually followed suit and all fell to their knees and said, "Thank you for your help."
Qin Hao nodded in a majestic manner, but in fact he was already happy and ordered: "Since you still have a wife and children, come and get the food, call the family to eat a little bit and leave together."
The big bull secretly called Qin Hao aside and whispered: "Brother, we don't have much food anymore, which is enough for us to barely eat Luoyang. If we have a share of it with them, we may not be able to hold on to half of the way."
Qin Hao comforted, "It's okay, it's better than fighting, otherwise even if you win, you will win miserably. What's more, our team of children, without an adult, is really eye-catching when walking on the road. You can save a lot of trouble with them. As for food, if you walk in front of the town later, if you have a small town, you can buy some, and then see if you can buy more weapons to defend yourself."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
As the time of speaking, the large army in Liujia Village arrived.
There are fifty or sixty fleeing teams in the 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. All men died, and most of the families are women in charge. It is estimated that this is the fundamental reason for the sharp improvement of women's status in the early Tang Dynasty. I heard that He-bei was even more miserable. One hundred women in a village may not necessarily have a middle-aged man.
When cooking soup cakes and eating, two groups of people who were still tense just now stirred up the horse spoon in the big pot, they quickly became familiar with each other, but Qin Hao frowned.
The pressure is even greater.
There is something I didn't tell Daniu that in this famine year, gold may not have much purchasing power. Even if they bought all the gold cakes, they might not be enough. Moreover, there are many places to use money in the future. The court only allowed the victims to make a living by themselves. There was no real power. The gold foil from the national treasury was given to the Turks, and the savings were all used to defeat Liang Shidu.
It seems... I have to think of a way to make money.
After eating the soup cake for a few bites, 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. These children were all seven or eight to seventeen or eight, and suddenly met so many new friends, and soon turned into chattering little monkeys.
Qin Hao was eating soup cakes while thinking about ways to make money. He passed through various time travel novels in his mind one by one, but after thinking for a long time, there was nothing that could be used.
Salt making? This thing was managed in feudal society more strictly than the guns in later generations.
Sugar cane is not introduced from India until the end of Zhenguan.
Alcohol and perfume?
If he was willing to study, he would not have to worry about not being able to do it. High-level wine was just a few steamed or brewed. However, the management of winemaking in the Tang Dynasty might not be much looser than salt. Moreover, the higher the wine, the more waste grain. If he dared to spend grain to make wine in this year of disaster, it would not be a fortune, but a search for death.
I guess even Li Shimin would not dare to make large-scale wine now.
What else is available?
As for glass making, soap soap and even black and yellow gunpowder, Qin Hao, who was a liberal arts student, said that he was confused.
Just as he was thinking hard about his way to make a fortune, a group of younger brothers and sisters had surrounded him, and some brought him and some from Liujia Village, jumped around in a big circle and said, "Brother, we want to listen to the story of Sun Wuzi."
Qin Hao was interrupted by them from his thoughts, and smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then brother will continue to tell you about Sun Wu Zi."
The story of Journey to the West has continued to tell the story since the male and female mother was killed. However, after the monkey was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, it was full of the story of Tang Sanzang, so that these hairy children were so anxious that they scratched their ears and heads.
This passage is very slow, because the author of Journey to the West is unknown, which dynasty and which dynasty is (Wu Chengen was quite far-fetched to write Journey to the West), and he actually threw a lot of historical celebrities into such a mythological story, such as Emperor Taizong of Tang, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Yuchi Jingde, etc. These people are all alive, which is very embarrassing. He had to make up a dynasty to cover it up, which seriously delayed the speed. Therefore, for such a long time, I just talked about Guanyin's appearance and turning into a golden cicada.
As for Xuanzang, all the three treasures of the Tang Dynasty were replaced by the three treasures. The so-called three treasures refer to the Vinaya, Sutra, and Theory. Any monk who is a great master can be called the Three treasures Master, and it does not belong to Xuanzang alone.
"By the way, after Master Sanzang was enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva, Sanzang returned to Hongfu Temple and said to the monks: I have made a great vow, and I will not take the true scriptures, and will fall into hell forever. I am mostly favored by the king and have to be loyal to the country. My trip is really vast and good or bad. Disciples, after I go, it may take three or two years, or fifty or seven years, but when I see the pine branches in the mountain gate facing east, I will come back; otherwise, I will never return."
The children listened with relish, but after all, they were not as interested as Sun Wuzi, but they heard a loud sound like a bell that suddenly came from not far behind them: "Okay!"
"This Master Sanzang is truly a role model for my Buddhism. The young monk must follow the example of the ancients and will not return to the court without taking the scriptures."
Qin Hao was stunned and turned his head, but he saw a monk in rags. Although this monk was wearing rags, his face was as beautiful as jade, and he felt a sense of solemnity in his appearance. It looked hard to say that he was in his twenties, but he could be in his thirties, and he could not be in his forties or fifties. Every move seemed to have a unique charm.
Qin Hao did not dare to neglect, so he performed a Buddhist ceremony and said, "Don't you know the master's name?"
