Chapter 6876 Awakening
"It's really good. Although I don't know much about smelting, this performance is already quite amazing." Chen Xi withdrew the power of the divine position and nodded, "In other words, the rituals and materials of the witch can enhance your combat effectiveness?"
"Yes." Nan Xi nodded. "It is difficult for me to make progress with conventional methods at the moment, so I have no choice but to seek help from Lord Chen. I hope Lord Chen will be flexible."
"This is a serious matter, and the other party's rituals and sacrificial materials are real. At most, the charges are unreasonable. It is something that is consensual, and it is indeed not a scam." Chen Xi nodded slowly, "In this case, I will write a statement, and you can take it to the Lantai Censor. After checking the files, you will naturally be able to find out where the witch was exiled for labor reform."
Chen Xi guessed that the witch should not be persecuted now. She was most likely sent to a textile factory or garment workshop. After all, ever since Li You realized that garbage was also a misplaced resource, he would not kill the local people if he could.
In addition, the purpose of Chen Xi's current labor reform is more to allow criminals to correct some wrong habits through labor reform, and to allow these people to master some skills to ensure that they can become self-reliant and return to normal life after the labor reform is over.
Nowadays, if we talk about people who have never committed a crime, most of them were born after Yuan Feng. It is difficult to say such things about those born before that. After all, this is a social problem, and those who should be forgiven still need to be forgiven.
After Chen Xi finished writing, he signed his name, stamped it with his seal, and handed it to Nan Xi. As long as it didn't involve any illegal matters, Chen Xi still liked to help.
"Thank you, Lord Chen!" Nanzhi took it with both hands. Without this thing from Chen Xi, if he wanted to check the files, there would be too many procedures to go through. He might not even finish the process before the grand martial arts performance was over.
"Anything else? Tell me all about it and I'll see if I can help you solve it." Chen Xi saw that Nan Xi, who had taken over the instructions, had a look of wanting to say something but was hesitant, so he said with a smile.
"It's like this. I heard that Lord Chen has the ability to borrow funds from the future. Could you please borrow some of the money I earn from the future to help me complete the ceremony?" Nan Xi said sincerely.
Chen Xi smiled when he heard this, but he was cursing in his heart. This was another rumor. However, Chen Xi was used to such rumors and was too lazy to say anything.
"This is easy." Chen Xi was too lazy to explain to Nan Xi what was going on, so he wrote a note on the spot with 50 million yuan on it. After writing it, he said with a hint of sarcasm, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that you would have saved so much money today, ten years later. Remember to come here and give me the money, and I will then pass it on to you in the past!"
To be honest, Chen Xi's words were just a joke, but for Nan Xi, it really boosted his spirits. All his original doubts and worries disappeared. He came to Chen Xi for help, which was actually a part of verifying whether he would be successful in the future. Although I don't know the future, Lord Chen knows the future. If Lord Chen can get these 50 million yuan from my future self, it means that I will be successful ten years later!
Thinking of this, an astonishing wave of will surged in Nanzhi's body, constantly rising and falling, and finally maintained at a certain level.
"Thank you, Lord Chen, for your help!" Nan Xi took the 50 million yuan borrowed from his future self, and while he was surprised, he also showed a strong sense of confidence.
"No need for that. Once you have prepared the rituals and sacrificial materials, remember to copy a copy for me and I will let a professional study it." Chen Xi said calmly.
After Nanzhi got what he wanted, he ate a little at Chen Xi's place, then quickly left Chen Xi's house and went to check the files with the explanation. After all, strength is really important for a Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
"How can there be a method that can steadily improve one's strength with only rituals and sacrificial materials?" Chen Xi complained with some emotion as he took out the redemption tickets from his sleeves and counted them.
After seeing all kinds of outrageous rituals and sacrificial methods in the Central Plains, Chen Xi knew very well that most of these things either had unknown hidden dangers, or were gifted like Nanzhi, otherwise there was no hope at all.
"Husband, why are you tearing up the notes for no reason?" When Zhen Mi came over, she saw Chen Xi tearing up the notes and asked curiously.
"Settling the accounts." Chen Xi explained casually. Everything had been verified and every expense had to be calculated. Fifty million was given to Nanxi, so fifty million had to be cut off here.
"Settling accounts this way?" Zhen Mi was stunned. As a family with a huge business foundation like the Zhen family, Zhen Mi knew very well what the accounts looked like. Chen Xi's way of settling accounts was too violent.
"How is my uncle doing lately?" Chen Xi asked with a smile and changed the subject.
"Becoming the agent of a group of aristocratic families." Zhen Mi said concisely.
Chen Xi was somewhat silent after hearing this. This guy Zhen Yan really seemed like a butler. He would be a waste if you let him be the head of the family, but if you let him make money, this guy seemed to be really good at it.
"In that case, did Yuan Gonglu and Liu Jiyu really not go looking for trouble with him?" Chen Xi raised his head and asked with a thoughtful look. The business of Liquor is a very good business. It is one of the very few things that can be considered a bulk commodity and its upper limit is very high.
Therefore, Chen Xi had never thought that Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang could have the whole thing to themselves. After all, this was something whose upper limit was close to that of bulk commodities, and it was impossible for a few people to monopolize it. At most, they could take the lead, and others would surely follow up. After all, this thing actually had no threshold. After Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang opened the way, the bold ones would surely rush in.
As for offending Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, those who dare to rush forward are still worried about this. Who wouldn't be a local bully if he doesn't have some backing?
However, since he could not cause trouble to the local protectionists such as the Wang and Yang families, Chen Xi was somewhat worried that Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang would cause trouble to Zhen Yan, who had now become the agent of a group of aristocratic families.
Just like the major aristocratic families are not afraid of Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang are actually not afraid of Chen Xi either. Not to mention that the two of them are barely in the right. Even if they are not in the right, these two will still make trouble for no reason.
"It's okay. My brother helped them to negotiate with the major families. Besides, the major families didn't expect to expand into the national market. They just wanted to use their reputation to make some easy money locally." Zhen Mi thought for a while and said. She was actually very familiar with these things. After all, she was the candidate trained by the Zhen family as the head of the family.
Chen Xi seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this. In this case, it was natural to be able to negotiate peace. After all, the major families were not crazy. If they really went against Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, those two would get angry and catch any one of them to deal with them, even the top ones like the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Yang family of Hongnong would be suppressed.
Zhen Yan was willing to negotiate peace and give up some profits so that everyone could make money in peace. They were still willing to negotiate peace with Yuan Shu, Liu Zhang and others. After all, they earned less money and had less trouble. So with Zhen Yan's promotion, the major families gathered a group of people to negotiate peace with Yuan Shu and others.
"What's the result?" Chen Xi asked thoughtfully.
"The sweet wines of Lord Yuan and Lord Liu can enter various states and counties and will not be expelled, but the quantities of both sides must be balanced in the supply and marketing cooperatives in various places. It depends on one's own ability." Zhen Mi thought for a while and said.
"What kind of peace negotiation is this? Isn't this just a direct surrender by all the noble families?" Chen Xi looked at Zhen Mi strangely, "Don't you have any other demands?"
"All the major families share a hops growing base." Zhen Mi said with a smile.
"This is reasonable. It seems that they also realize that if they expel and destroy each other, it will only increase the average cost of the industry. Although I can definitely make a lot of money if I beat others, if I really go too far, I will be eliminated." Chen Xi smiled and said, "That's it."
"But I heard from my brother that the reason this matter was able to be negotiated was because Marquis Yangcheng accepted a gift from a noble family. Otherwise, this matter would not have been likely to be negotiated. At the beginning, Lord Yuan was very determined and was really prepared to fight it out with Wang and Yang. Later, the noble family took out something and convinced Marquis Yangcheng, and the matter was finally concluded." Zhen Mi said with some memories.
"Well, that's it." Chen Xi thought about it and roughly understood why Liu Zhang agreed. What else could it be? It was to make Zhang Ren wake up quickly. It would be a miracle if anything else could convince Liu Zhang. As for the sweet wine business, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang were counting on it to help them turn things around. How could they share it equally with the major families at such a low and fair price?
However, compared to the happy life led by Zhang Ren, material things like money are not so important. I think Yuan Shu can also understand this feeling. After all, all Liu Zhang's awesomeness is due to Zhang Ren. Without Zhang Ren, Liu Zhang can't take off at all!
"Those noble families are really daring..." Chen Xi was a little speechless. Chen Xi also knew Zhang Ren's situation. After all, he was a marquis and a high-ranking official at the level of the Four Towns General. He also had a very shocking record of battles. As the saying goes, to be able to fight in this era is a blessing!
Therefore, after Zhang Ren fell into a coma, the Han Dynasty sent people to check on him. In the end, they found that Zhang Ren was actually fine, but was just stunned by the knowledge. Once he absorbed the huge amount of knowledge, he would wake up and become a real commander of a large army.
From a certain perspective, Zhang Ren can be said to have changed his fate by defying the will of heaven. He relied on enough wars and constantly fought against various powerful men in the form of a shining gold. In the end, he absorbed some of the wisdom of Wu'an Jun and Huaiyin Hou, and completely absorbed and assimilated them in the form of a shining gold archangel, successfully stepping from a mortal into another realm.
So after confirming the situation, Chen Xi no longer cared about this matter. Since he would be the commander of a large army after waking up, there was no need to disrupt Zhang Ren's learning process. It would be fine for him to study while lying down. Waking up would actually prolong the learning time. If he really hasn't woken up by the time of destroying Kushan, just let the three great doctors force him to turn on his machine.
That’s right, the Han Dynasty is confident that they can wake Zhang Ren up, but they feel that Zhang Ren is now learning and absorbing the knowledge of commanding large armies, so there is no need to wake Zhang Ren up. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing to wait for Zhang Ren to wake up on his own and emerge as a butterfly?
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang was so anxious about why his little golden man had not woken up yet and had no way to take him off to show off, that he chose to force it to start up.
Forget it, there is no way to stop this kind of thing. Just force it to start. It has come to this, what else can I say? Maybe he will wake up like this, and it will take Zhang Ren even less time to absorb the wisdom.
That's right, Zhang Ren had been forcibly turned on. The miracle doctor that Yang found was very effective. After taking a pill of Xingxin Pill, Zhang Ren was forcibly turned on and crawled out of his original culture tank.
"Ahem, ahem, thank you for bothering me personally, my lord." Zhang Ren woke up, still a little groggy. There was nothing he could do. He absorbed too much knowledge at once. Zhang Ren even felt his head had become much heavier. Fortunately, it was not a life-threatening matter.
"Awake, awake, really awake!" Liu Zhang said excitedly, and quickly reached out to help Zhang Ren up. This was his number one general. Without Zhang Ren, Liu Zhang had no intention of participating in the competition. You know, when he saw Zhang Ren being carried back, Liu Zhang didn't even feel like eating.
"Where is this place now?" Zhang Ren's mind was still on the time when he gained the immortality of Odin's alien army. He looked around and found that this was not Northern Europe at all.
Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang hurriedly took Zhang Ren out of the culture tank, then explained the recent situation to Zhang Ren. Then, seeing that Zhang Ren was obviously tired, they quickly helped Zhang Ren to a chair nearby and let him sit down.
"My lord, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. To be honest, it's due to my knowledge and experience. I'm fine." Zhang Ren waved his hand to indicate that he was in good condition. He just felt dizzy, but it was nothing serious. "It should be fine after a while. Is the Han Dynasty holding a large-scale military exercise?"
"Yes." Liu Zhang nodded repeatedly. After Zhang Ren woke up, his previously uneasy mentality suddenly improved a lot. He felt like he had support again.
"I remember there were a few elite soldiers with special talents in my team." Zhang Ren reluctantly recalled and spoke, then paused. A year had passed, and considering the situation of Huangfu Song, he should have been assigned to other teams.
"It's okay, it's okay. You should rest more. We can still find the team here." Liu Zhang pressed Zhang Ren and said, "You just woke up. Don't be so tired. By the way, are you hungry? If you are hungry, I will ask the kitchen to prepare some lean meat porridge for you. I heard that people who have just woken up cannot eat big fish and meat. After two days, when you have recovered a little, I will bring the chef from the Mi family to you and set up two tables for you to celebrate your happiness."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ren waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that there was no need to do so. However, he was finally forcibly held down by Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, who told him to go and rest. Then the two of them excitedly went to form their own team.
"I remember there are still a few veterans in my Huben Camp. I will go and recruit them." After leaving Zhang Ren's house, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang said excitedly. Their big legs have awakened!
"I can't do it here. The veterans are all out fighting." Liu Zhang said with some embarrassment, "Let's form a team and call it eating, drinking and playing with a band, how about that?"
Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang were like father and son, and they got along pretty well, so Yuan Shu didn't think much about it and agreed directly. After all, it was not easy to find soldiers who could fight. Only Yuan Shu had stayed in the Eight Schools of Xiyuan and took the Huben with him when he left, so he had so many veteran soldiers. If it were anyone else, it would not be easy to get the entire team now.
"Are you going in the right direction?" Liu Zhang followed Yuan Shu around twice and found that Yuan Shu, who said he was going to find the old soldiers, did not go to the military camp, but ran in the direction of the Shaofu. This Chang'an City, I, Liu Zhang, have been to every place. You can point in any direction and I know what is there!
"Yes, my former guard is in the Shaofu. After I stopped going to the battlefield, it was a bit of a waste to ask him to protect me, so I asked his son to protect me and arranged a job he likes for him in the Shaofu." Yuan Shu said with some pride.
"The soldiers from the Shaofu? Isn't that Chen Zichuan's territory?" Liu Zhang said with some reminiscence, "It's incredible, it's incredible, Chen Zichuan will take them all, they are all tough guys."
"Right, maybe we can ask him to bring a few more brothers." Yuan Shu said happily, "Then we will have a team! Maybe we can even have a second team. By the way, have you opened a private gambling house? With such a big event like this, won't we make some money?"
“We can’t cheat the banker this time. We can’t tell which veteran will win. Although Zhang Yong, Sun Er, and Jiang Guang are considered favorites, we are both knowledgeable and experienced, as you know.” Liu Zhang shook his head and said. The small gambling houses were ready, and there were many of them, but they couldn’t cheat the banker, so they couldn’t win much. Considering that such gambling houses would be banned, if they couldn’t cheat the banker, they might end up losing money.
Well, it’s not that he lost money at the gambling table, but he was caught by Li You, Man Chong and his gang, and the gambling house was taken down. Not to mention making money, he still has to find a way to get it back, because it’s all money.
"Is that so? Let's wait and see when the time comes." Yuan Shu seemed to be thinking about something. Indeed, if there is no way to cheat the banker, the gambling house may not be able to make money!
Why was their Yuan’s gambling house able to make money in the past? Wasn’t it because of the black banker?
Soon Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang arrived at the special dining room of the Shaofu, and at this time Li Li was leading Zhang Huang and his party inside. After seeing Yuan Shu appear, Li Li did not lead Zhang Huang and his party, but let them walk in by themselves, and then he went to pick up Yuan Shu and the other two.
"Everyone, please go to room 02. There are special meals for you to receive." Seeing Zhang Huang and his group being brought over by Li Li, Han Rang, who had returned from Old Yuan's house and found a good job for himself, greeted Zhang Huang and the others. Although it was not time for dinner yet, the sponsorship from the God of Agriculture had been prepared.
"We've already eaten." Wang Mao greeted Han Rang.
"You are Cang Hou's team, right?" Han Rang continued to greet them. If this group of people didn't come, he wouldn't be able to eat. The reason why he came here to be a cook was so that he could eat with them, right? This is truly top-notch food!
"Yes." Zhang Huang replied.
"That's enough, come in, come in." Han Rang grabbed Hou Jing, who was standing at the outermost edge, and forcibly dragged Hou Jing away. Seeing this, the others followed.
After entering Room 02, Hou Jing felt the vitality coming towards her. Her youth was originally restored only because of the oath. After this vitality came, Hou Jing, whose vitality was gradually drying up, actually recovered a little!
Zhang Huang and the others realized this the moment they came in. After all, they were actually approaching the end of their lives. Even though they looked fine, those subtle hidden injuries left over from decades of battles could lead to their death overnight if they could not be suppressed as their lives declined.
"Hurry up and take a seat, hurry up and take a seat. This is what Lord Cang prepared for you. It's soft and tender beef stewed with taro, and a bucket of rice. He said it's the most suitable meal for you." Han Rang pulled Hou Jing to take a seat. Hou Jing, who felt that she should refuse such a reward, took a seat anyway after being dragged by Han Rang. Seeing this, the others also sat down, and then Han Rang also sat down.
Why did Han Rang come back to be a cook after fighting in Northern Europe? Wasn't it because being a cook really had a future? He was a realistic person, and he became a cook just to eat this stuff!
After scooping a bowl of the highest-grade rice with plump grains and full of life energy left over by the cookies for each person, Han Rang started eating without saying a word. The others looked at each other when they saw this. They could also feel that if this thing was not eaten quickly, even with Xuan Xiang suppressing it, most of the life essence would be lost in a short time. In this case, just do it hard!
After the meal, Wang Mao even felt that some of the hidden injuries in his body that were difficult to treat were shaken a little by this gentle vitality. If he really continued to eat like this, within a month at most, the hidden injuries in his body that were left over from not taking good care of his body when he was young and which could not be treated with medicine now would naturally recover.
Compared with medicinal supplements, dietary supplements are really slow, but their conditioning function is extremely effective.
"Great." Han Rang crossed his legs and leaned back in the chair. He had eaten the meat of ferocious beasts with internal energy leaving their bodies and the meat of ancient gods who could break through the world before, but this was the first time Han Rang encountered something as gentle and nourishing as this. It was worthy of being the ingredients prepared by Cang Hou. He would work for this team from now on.
"Come to think of it, aren't there only six of us in the 'Canghou Rice Eating Team'?" Hou Jing, who was full and satisfied, looked at Han Rang and asked. In his perception, Han Rang's strength was quite good.
"Maybe he's a substitute." Bashu said casually. With his keen eyesight, he could see that Han Rang's strength was quite good.
"I'm the cook here. I'm the one who prepared the taro stewed beef for you." Han Rang spoke the truth, but if it was about the big martial arts performance, Han Rang was ready to participate.
Damn, I feel like my day is over.
