Chapter 8 Getting Rich(1/2)
The next morning, when Xi Zhicai got up, he found that Li Zhi and Li Zhi were actually boxing.
Xi Zhicai now became interested and asked
"What kind of boxing technique is this?"
"This is the Tai Chi that my brother taught me in Jia."
Guo Jia spoke first, then seemed to have thought of something and asked Xi Zhicai with a smile on his face.
"Brother Zhicai, would you like to practice together?"
"This boxing technique looks ordinary, but it is of great benefit to the body. Brother Zhicai is very thin and weak. Wouldn't it be a pity not to learn it?"
Guo Jia strongly recommended Xi Zhicai to learn Tai Chi.
"Good and loyal people come to learn."
Xi Zhicai was so excited by what he said that he joined in to learn Tai Chi.
Xi Zhicai's talent is no worse than Guo Jia's, and soon he will be able to do a complete set of Tai Chi by himself.
After he finished playing, Li Zhi took Guo Jia to go for a run. Guo Jia spoke at this time.
"Brother Zhicai, why don't we come together?"
Guo Jia said with a smile.
“Can running also exercise?”
Xi Zhicai asked Li Zhi with doubts on his face.
"Yes!"
Before Li Zhi could speak, Guo Jia interrupted.
"Before, Jia's body was not even as good as that of Brother Zhicai. Now after more than ten days of exercise, Brother Zhicai, let's see."
As he spoke, he clenched his fist and bent it upward. Hearing Li Zhi say that this action represented strength, he found it very interesting, so he learned it.
"Hmm... but Tadashi will be with you two."
Under Guo Jia's expectant eyes, Xi Zhicai finally agreed.
When they were halfway down the road, Xi Zhi finally knew why Guo Jia had laughed so hard before.
Halfway through the run, Xi Zhicai was out of breath and his whole body was in a mess. Slowly, Xi Zhicai stopped and tried to calm his breathing.
When Guo Jia saw him stop, he also stopped, and then slowly started trotting around him.
I saw Guo Jia laughing and saying
"Brother Zhicai stopped after running halfway. His body is so weak. Could it be that he was damaged by the brothel girl? Hehehehehe..."
"Huchi...huchi...you...you...you are a villain and you are not the son of a man!"
"Hehehehe... Even if a villain succeeds, he has achieved success. Brother Zhicai... Oops..."
Just when Guo Jia was about to make fun of Zhicai, Li Zhi couldn't stand the way he acted like a villain, so he slapped him on the head.
"My virtuous brother is so powerful and powerful. It shows that he still has some energy left. Why don't you finish the race in a while and follow me to do another lap?"
After Li Zhi gave him a slap in the face, he said to him angrily.
"No more running, no more running, Jia is extremely exhausted."
When Guo Jia heard that he wanted to run even longer, he immediately shook his head and pretended to be weak.
Li Zhi ignored him and looked at Xi Zhicai and asked
"Brother Zhicai, do you still have the strength to finish the journey below?"
Xi Zhicai was also tough, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Yes, Zhong still has enough energy left to finish the whole race."
In the end, Xi Zhi reached the finish line half running and half walking.
After the three of them finished running, washed up, and went to their respective cases, a servant brought out the food.
Xi Zhi took a look at the sky and saw that it wasn't time to eat the morning meal yet.
Out of curiosity, he asked
"You two are going to have breakfast at this time?"
"It's not lunch but breakfast."
Guo Jia was holding a fried dough stick in his hand and a piece of wu wu ya ya in his mouth.
said.
"What's breakfast?"
"This is the rule set by my brother. In the morning, you have breakfast after washing and exercising, lunch at noon, and dinner at dusk."
"Stop talking, Zhicai, come and have breakfast."
Li Zhi brought a few fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk to Xi Zhicai and said.
Xi Zhicai looked at the breakfast that Li Zhi pushed on his desk, and felt hungry and thirsty, so he also started eating.
After the three of them had finished eating, there was a burst of noise outside.
When the three of them went out to take a look, they saw a huge crowd of people outside, but it turned out that it was Guo De who had come back, driving twenty carts.
This time I came back and saw that there were no less than a hundred carriages, but I didn’t know where he got so many carriages, and there were dense crowds behind the carriages. Li Zhi was extremely confused and asked
"Dear Virtue, is your trip going smoothly?"
Guo De saw Li Zhi asking him something, so he quickly got out of the car and saluted Li Zhi.
"The trip back to the master went very smoothly, but there were not enough grain trucks when we came back.
The villain took it upon himself to buy eighty carts and eighty horses, and asked the master to atone for his sins."
"It doesn't matter. This is a serious matter. How can I blame you? Did you spread the news I asked you to spread?"
Before Guo De left, Li Zhi once told him to spread the news that refugees were being recruited here.
"Reporting to the master, they have all spread out, and I met a group of refugees on the way back and brought them back. These are the ones."
Then he pointed to the group of people following their cart.
Li Zhi took a quick look and found that there were indeed many unknown people, wearing ragged clothes and looking as yellow as firewood.
Seeing these people, Li Zhi sighed deeply, not for anything else, but because Li Zhi didn't see any hope on their faces, only deep despair and boundless numbness.
However, what needs to be done still needs to be done. Li Zhi told Guo Dedao
"Go and take them to the open space behind the village. It's early summer and we're not afraid of them freezing.
Build some thatched huts and let them live there temporarily, and use two jars of wine to disinfect them and other injured people, just like I disinfected those hunters that day.
They are not allowed to enter Guojiacun, and they will be allowed to wait for a while before letting them in."
"Tell them to wait. It's not that Guojiacun won't take them in, but that they need to be judged whether they are suffering from diseases or plagues."
"Also, separate him from men and women and let him wait for a bath."
“Toilet items are also handled centrally.”
"Um……"
There was only a pause here and then he continued
"Also, the most important thing now is to set up a big pot to steam and cook rice. He has been hungry for a long time, so he should not eat too much for the first meal, just a bowl of rice porridge."
At this point, Li Zhi glanced at De, and then said
"You guys, go and watch them. If there is anyone who takes advantage of themselves to rob food, teach me a lesson. Now is not the time to be soft-hearted. Do you understand?"
"Here!"
Several people answered together.
After he finished his training, Guo Jiaxi and Zhicai had almost finished counting their belongings.
Xi Zhicai frowned and asked Li Zhidao
"Brother Xing, I made a lot of money selling wine this time. However, most of the money was exchanged for wine, and only 40% was exchanged for food.
10% of it needs to be reserved for the villagers of Guojiacun, 20% is used to make wine, and the remaining 10% is not enough for more than a thousand refugees."
Li Zhi thought for a moment and asked
"How many days can this 10% of food last for these more than a thousand refugees?"
"If you only live on porridge, you can eat it for fifteen days."
"Well...this
In this way, 10% of the grain is used to make wine, 10% of the grain is given to the victims, and the remaining 10% is used as a reserve."
"Victims do not need to eat porridge every day. Two porridges a day and one meal are enough. If the food is not enough, you can use the food reserves first and wait ten days before selling wine. By then, the food will be much more abundant."
