ALL NOVEL Chapter 46
Chapter 46: Growing Up
Gu Jingyun is very satisfied with the atmosphere in the village. He will no longer be isolated, and he can play anywhere without worrying about being blocked and beaten by other children.
He found a way to restrain the children in the village, and he was happy to expand the scope of his teaching. The first thing that benefited him were those who were friendly or pleasing to him. He showed with his actual actions that he would have meat to please!
As Zhang Yiyan, who is well versed in the ways of ingratiating himself, he first gained the greatest benefit. He used Gu Jingyun’s status as a good citizen to travel between the county seat and the sin village, and started a business. He made a lot of money from the tax difference.
Of course, for many of these children who are equivalent to sin villages, for the businessmen in the county town, they do not care about the profit of a few taels of silver.
But for the people of Sin Village, the benefits of a few taels of silver per trip are already huge benefits, and Gu Jingyun also accumulated the first funds based on this.
Li Baolu, who has been a law-abiding and good citizen in both his lifetimes, was horrified when he saw it, and his whole face was wrinkled, “What if the county government finds out?”
This is tax evasion. Perhaps because of the same identity, Zhang Yiyan will not set the purchase price of the goods very low, which is higher than the income after they personally transport the goods into the city and pay taxes, so they are simply earning tax evasion. money.
Li Baolu has turned over the laws of Great Chu, and behaviors like Gu Jingyun’s are lightly punished and fined, and at worst exiled.
Gu Jingyun said in disapproval: “We have discretion and do not monopolize seafood. The guards at the gate of the city won’t find it, and even if they do, it has nothing to do with me.”
“But Zhang Yiyan is using your household registration…”
“Yeah, Zhang Yiyan is using it,” Gu Jingyun said indifferently: “But I’m only five or six years old, it’s normal to lose my household registration.”
“You want to push the matter on Zhang Yiyan?”
“No, it’s Zhang Yiyan who wants to take the matter on him,” Gu Jingyun said indifferently: “I said it when I showed him the way, he’ll take care of it if something goes wrong, anyway, he has already been exiled to Qiongzhou, and he will be exiled again. Where can it be exiled?”
Li Baolu was stunned.
“Otherwise, why do you think I gave him the household registration and then covered all the costs but only paid half of the dividends? Because he took the potential risks, half of his life was paid as dividends.”
Li Baolu was silent for a while before asking, “Are you short of money?”
“It’s not lacking, but they lack it,” Gu Jingyun said. “You need money to eat, buy meat, and buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Even in the future, they have to get through the relationship and go to Xiangshan Village as soon as possible. They need a lot of money, but fishing and the They can’t even feed themselves from farming, so how do you save money?”
“I gave them a road to the sky, but the road is full of thorns. Whether they can walk through it depends on their respective abilities.”
“Aren’t you afraid that he will betray you?” Li Baolu tangled: “If he can’t stand the punishment and say everything, you are the mastermind behind everything?”
“Do you believe it?”
“I believe!”
“But others won’t believe it,” Gu Jingyun got up and turned around in front of her, “I’m only five years old this year, how many people in the world will believe his words?”
Well, Gu Jingyun’s age is a natural advantage.
“Since it’s not for making money, why are you leading this matter?” Li Baolu didn’t think Gu Jingyun would be so kind to them.
Gu Jingyun said with a smile: “In order for them to have no time and energy to trouble me, you see, I only paid 10 taels of silver and a piece of household registration that might be lost, and asked them to obey me obediently, don’t you think? Is the cost low?”
Li Baolu felt that the child Gu Jingyun was too pitiful, and she took great pains not to be beaten.
Gu Jingyun didn’t know Li Baolu’s sympathy for him, but just raised the corners of his mouth happily.
Uncle said that he was far away from the court here, because he didn’t know the situation in the court and China, and many chess pieces were afraid to use.
But here is too far from the capital, any news is outdated here, which shows the importance of news.
Even the little Baolu would ask people who enter the city to check the latest news on the bulletin wall of the yamen, which shows how important the flow of information is.
The last time they went to the county seat was because of the lack of information flow, so they didn’t know about the tax increase. If he hadn’t brought extra money, they would have had their goods deducted or returned, which would have been a waste of two days.
He didn’t look down on the money Zhang Yiyan made, but he didn’t care about the various news he brought back.
For example, the last time Zhang Yiyan had a conversation with a businessman in Guangzhou, he knew that the prefect of Guangzhou had been dismissed from his post three months ago because his son seized other people’s shops, and a new prefect surnamed Tu was replaced because he didn’t like businessmen. The compradors in Guangzhou have a headache…
For another example, Zhang Yiyan sold the pig skins and rabbit skins that his master had beaten to the yamen of the county government. From this, he learned that the landlords, squires and businessmen of Qiongzhou were very disliked by the current county magistrate, because the magistrate was greatly improved. For the duties they need to perform, everyone united to suppress the magistrate, making it difficult for the magistrate to move in Qiongzhou Mansion.
Of course, Gu Jingyun wouldn’t tell Li Baolu about these things, because he felt that her IQ was already too hard for her to study, and it would be too reluctant to think about these issues.
But Gu Jingyun doesn’t say it, Li Baolu will notice it after a long time.
Because he never avoided Li Baolu when talking to Zhang Yiyan. At first, she was able to take what they said as gossip. She felt that the two little brats were quite gossip, and they liked to gossip at a young age. The grandeur of an adult taught Gu Jingyun not to gossip behind his back, let alone gossip.
Who knows…
As the topic became more and more in-depth and detailed, even when Zhang Yiyan could tell Gu Jingyun which aunt’s room the county magistrate slept in that day, Li Baolu realized that something was wrong.
She stared at the child in disbelief with wide eyes. Isn’t this the legendary information?
She has been listening to gossip!
Only then did Li Baolu deeply feel the IQ gap between herself and Gu Jingyun. Fortunately, she recovered the memory of her previous life. Otherwise, how could a child get along with Gu Jingyun.
Li Baolu felt that it was impossible to catch up with Gu Jingyun in terms of IQ. She could only strive to be far superior to him in other aspects, so as not to be crushed to death by him in the future.
Therefore, Li Baolu devoted herself to martial arts and medicine. After eight months, she finally developed a little inner strength, which made Bai Yitang, whose hair was turning white, heaved a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the only apprentice in his life would be a reckless woman who only knew how to move. You must know that in the realm of martial arts, you can only talk about internal strength. What is the use of your subtle moves without internal support?
It’s been eight months, is it easy for him to learn a little bit of energy after eight months of careful teaching?
Bai Yitang held Li Baolu almost in tears, letting her practice the energy she just learned for two more weeks, and repeatedly urged: “You must remember this feeling, don’t fall asleep and forget it again. , no matter how young you are, you won’t have to wait for eight months, life is too short!”
Li Baolu nodded seriously, “Master, don’t worry, I will definitely advance thousands of miles every day.”
Bai Yitang was immune to her big words and said, “Master, thank you, you don’t have to advance thousands of miles every day, as long as you don’t step back, Master will be very happy.”
Who knows that Li Baolu is really advancing thousands of miles every day, and her internal strength is rising steadily. The speed is much faster than that of Bai Yitang, who was once a genius, and soon surpasses Gu Jingyun, who had practiced Qi Jin a long time ago.
Bai Yitang concluded after observing for a long time: “This is a lot of accumulation.”
Li Baolu didn’t explain to Bai Yitang. In fact, she has a good talent, but she was blinded when she couldn’t practice her inner strength, and she didn’t know how to control it. Now that she has developed that vigor, she can enter meditation almost as soon as she sits down and meditates. If you can feel the vigor, it is too simple to follow the path that you have been familiar with in your heart.
She sits down for an hour every night, wakes up early every morning to face the rising sun and enters again for an hour, and her inner strength naturally rises.
After has developed her internal strength, it will be easier to learn martial arts moves. She practices them as drills. She learns a set of kung fu almost a year, and soon learns boxing from the bottom of the box.
Bai Yitang stared, and Li Baolu started to practice from the first set again, in order to master the kung fu, and then picked out a set of swordsmanship, and a set of boxing techniques for special training, in order to be specialized.
As for medical skills, there is no one to teach her, so she can only learn by herself. Fortunately, there are a lot of people in Sin Village, and the villagers in Sin Village within a radius of 20 miles are willing to be her guinea pigs.
There is no way. After Li Bo passed away, there will be no doctors in Sin Village. Everyone looks down on the doctors in the county town. Li Baolu has a grandfather who is an imperial doctor. Everyone has a lot of confidence in her. Medicines don’t even cost money.
Although those medicines were collected by her in the mountains, they were concocted by herself, and the efficacy of the medicines was somewhat unknown.
Li Baolu’s medical skills are getting better and better with everyone’s ‘strong support”. At least common diseases are no problem. Anyone who has a headache and a fever, she will just take a few medicines.
Qin Xinfang was very happy when he saw it. The day after Bai Yitang announced that Li Baolu’s martial arts could also be a teacher, he called his two children and said, “You should also leave Qiongzhou.”
