After the two thieves roamed the streets, they were put in jail. These years, there is no place to exile, so they are allowed to eat in prison for three years.
The governor felt that he was wasting food. After all, there was not much money left in the yamen to support them, so he discussed with Chen Ziqi, stabbed them in the face, and threw them to the weapons factory to strike iron.
Two self-proclaimed hero thieves, with the word "thief" stabbed brightly on their foreheads, can no longer be heroes. They wear shackles every day and work in an arsenal, regretting their past.
The prisoners do not need to pay wages, which can save a lot of expenses, which makes Chen Ziqi very satisfied, so he decided with the governor that in the future, as long as the prisoners are not sentenced to death, they will be given to him to work.
Because of this parade, Jianyang's reputation gradually spread, and more and more traders and hawkers came from all over the place to do business in Jianyang. Jianyang was originally sparsely populated, and the governor was very rare for people who came to defect, and basically they would not refuse. Just write an ultimatum to change the place of origin at the place of origin and report it to Jianyang Mansion, and you can become a citizen of Jianyang.
The more people there are, the more people want to rent a shop, and the rent of the shop goes up with the tide.
A new dim sum seller moved in next door to the Luwei shop, and whispered to him about the situation here, "Brother, how much is the rent for your shop?"
The owner of the Luwei shop said with a smile: "Four taels of silver a month, only half of it in the first few months. The lord also waived my rent for a month."
The dim sum shop's eyes were full of envy, "Hey, my shop costs sixty taels of silver a month! Big brother, you are so discerning, you moved here early."
"I'm a native of Jianyang, brother, you're already very smart, let's see, the rent is going to go up!" The owner of the Luwei shop smugly shook the cloth on his shoulders. Although the price of his shop is going to increase next year, he really got the benefits of the first year, not to mention how proud he is.
There are more people and more right and wrong, and the troops of the patrol battalion are gradually running out. Chen Ziqi divided some of those youngsters who practiced arrows and went to the patrol camp as an errand. That is to say, those teenagers who were not selected at the beginning, do not need them to be chores. As soldiers of the patrol battalion, they can patrol the city every day.
Chen Ziqi took Yingling's two masters to the arrow camp in the suburbs. With them there, and these poor youths are very hardworking, archery can be described as a thousand miles away.
"Within three years, you can graduate." Yingling's master said.
Chen Ziqi looked at those young men pulling bows and shooting arrows, and always felt that something was missing, "When they leave the apprenticeship, all arrows will be fired, can they kill a master like Diao Lie?"
The eagle-like young man choked on his saliva and used the analogy of a dark cloud. What did he say? "Dark clouds make him different from ordinary people, he can fly..."
"Those who are good at light skills can also fly." Chen Ziqi picked up a practice bow and played with it.
"This... I'm bluntly speaking, these teenagers are hardworking, but they have no inner strength, and the arrows they shoot are not invincible. After training, it is still possible to shoot an ordinary martial artist, but it is almost impossible to shoot a top master. The young Yingling said honestly, "It is probably because when the internal force is strong enough, the arrow can be shattered by the internal force."
The reason why Yingling's Shooting Array can kill masters with a hundred years of internal power is because Yingling's people are masters themselves, and the arrows they shoot have strong internal power and can shoot through stones.
"It's okay to be a top-level expert, but at least you must be able to shoot ordinary experts." Chen Ziqi thought for a while. There are only a few top-level masters in the entire Dazhang, and Chen Ziqi doesn't have the delusional idea of shooting them, but at least only those who can guard against Diao Lie's level.
The Eagle Ling master was a little embarrassed, "Then you need poison and formation."
"That's right, that's it!" Chen Ziqi finally understood when he patted his head. Just now, he felt that there was something missing, which was the formation! Going to battle requires a formation, and training soldiers and arrows requires even more formation.
"Poison is easy to say, subordinates are not good at formation, I am afraid I need to ask Baiyun Envoy." People from the Eagle Clan are actually more accustomed to fighting alone.
Bai Yunshi, Lan Jiangxue, is not difficult. Chen Ziqi nodded with satisfaction, and explained that everyone should train well. There will be an archery competition before the new year. The winner can be promoted to the husband and manage a few people, and the monthly meeting will increase accordingly.
Hearing this news, those teenagers suddenly became more motivated.
Jianyang's condition is getting better and better. Previously, Li Yuhan and him handed over the banknotes in front of the palace gate, but they were just acting for the two little thieves. After catching the thieves, Chen Ziqi went to Lushan again to finalize the sword-making business. down.
Amu followed his brother to Mount Lu, and was very interested when he heard Chen Ziqi bargain with Lu Xiuqi.
"I know that Master has been buying swords from that shop in Xunyang, but after so many years, that shop has not given a penny cheaper, and the price is still increasing year by year. Why don't you buy two swords first and let that shop do it? Knowing that someone is robbing business, the price will naturally drop." Chen Ziqi pushed the swords he brought to Lu Xiuqi.
Afterwards, Chen Ziqi talked about his two sworn brothers again like a small talk, "If you want to say that my two brothers are really loyal, I heard that I opened a weapon shop, so I decided without a word, and all the swords in the future will be Use mine."
The implication is that the heads of other small sects know how to take care of their own business, so are you too embarrassed to not buy one
Li Yuhan, who was standing on the side, held back for a while and said, "They really value friendship."
Lu Xiuqi looked at Li Yuhan who didn't speak much on weekdays in surprise. Even Li Yuhan said so, and he couldn't say it until he bought two: "The business of the apprentice is naturally taken care of for the teacher..."
"Thank you, Master!" Before Lu Xiuqi could finish speaking, Chen Ziqi stood up and thanked him, and quickly took out the prepared sword-buying document and showed it to Lu Xiuqi. He is not greedy and wants to come here, and he needs half of the swords that Lushan needs every year.
"..." Lu Xiuqi held the already written document, and suddenly felt a sense of being deceived.
Amu stood aside, his eyes shining brightly, and he couldn't hide his excitement on the way back. It turns out that you can still make money like this, which is really interesting.
"Is it fun?" Chen Ziqi turned to look at Amu.
"Fun!" Amu nodded vigorously.
Chen Ziqi looked at Amu, but smiled silently. After returning, he handed Amu to Mr. Luo and asked Luo Yunsheng to teach him to read account books and talk about business.
There is no need to read the rhythm of poetry, Amu is very happy, and the whole person is a lot more lively.
In the blink of an eye, the weather turned cold, and the first snow fell in Jianyang.
On Yushan Mountain, the early morning fog had not yet dissipated. Chen Ziqi wore a thin Jin suit and punched in the phoenix tree forest. The heat he exhaled turned into white mist and dissipated in the air. He quickly practiced a whole set of You Long Suiyue, but it was still cold shiver.
Dan Yi didn't feel anything. After practicing the basic exercises, he stood under the tree and watched the snow. The light snowflakes fluttered down one after another and landed on his long eyelashes, which was truly beautiful.
Chen Ziqi received his work, sighed warmly at his hands, and when he saw Dan Yi's red clothes, he wanted to lean over. Thinking like this, that's what he did. He jumped and ran over, quickly stuffing his cold hands into Dan Yi's shirt.
A hand as cold as a stone touched her body, causing Dan Yi to shiver, and she reached out and hugged Chen Ziqi into her arms, "Why is it so cold?"
"Do you think everyone has the same internal strength and pure yang as you?" Chen Ziqi flattened his mouth in grievance, and was almost frozen to death when he woke up in the morning. He even asked him to wear such thin training clothes. He has not frozen yet. Miracle.
Dan Yi frowned slightly, asked Linghe to bring a big cloak, quickly wrapped the person inside, and used his inner strength to warm him up.
What was just a warm body suddenly turned into a stove, Chen Ziqi couldn't help but hug him tighter, greedily clinging to the scorching body, even if he put on a cloak, he didn't want to part. Dan Yi had no choice but to hold him like two ducks in a nest, the big duck chasing the young duck and staggered to the pavilion.
The charcoal fire had already been lit in the pavilion, and the curtains were hung all around, which was very warm.
"I forgot that your inner strength is cold, so I will go back and change into warmer clothes." Dan Yi hugged Chen Ziqi and sat on the soft couch covered with animal skins.
"Well," Chen Ziqi took a sip of the hot tea and looked at the wind and snow outside through the gap of the wind curtain, and suddenly remembered that when the first snow fell every year, the little red bird would appear in front of him. Curious, "Why do you always find me at this time?"
There must be some deep meaning in this. When I didn't know that Dan Yi was a little red bird, Chen Ziqi thought it was the rhythm of the gods, and only with the first snow could he return to the world. Now that I know it, I can't figure it out. Maybe when it snows, it is convenient for the falcon carrying the little red bird to sneak into the palace
"Well, because... this is more elegant." Dan Yi murmured for a while before saying this.
Elegant? Chen Ziqi choked a sip of tea into his throat, and suddenly coughed, "Cough, cough, what?"
Not because of the limitation of divine power, nor because of the difficult road, but only for elegance! When the first snow falls, the gods will come by the wind, and after thousands of years, it will definitely become a good story. Back then, this was what the young Dan Yi thought, but after getting used to this time, she didn't change it.
"..." Chen Ziqi didn't know what to say, but a strong wind blew over, blowing the heavy cotton curtain, bringing a chill, making him shrink back into Dan Yi's arms, "If someday we part ways. , we must meet when the first snow falls."
"Why?" Hearing this, Dan Yi's heart trembled, and she always felt that such an idea was a bit sour.
"It's so elegant! It's all said in the book!" Chen Ziqi said with a smile.
Dan Yi: "ā¦"
The author has something to say: Small Theater:
"It's Suitable for Poetry When It Snows"
Qiqi: When the first snow fell, the one I love came on horseback
Bird Attack: I don't usually ride a horse
Qiqi: Well, when the first snow falls, the person I love rides a bird and comes to the bird attack: (āvā)
Qi Qi: The wind and snow covered the way back, you and I can only starve in the cold wind and be attacked by frozen birds: I have internal strength, and there is also the Eagle Express!
Qi Qi: Well, the wind and snow covered the way back, you and I can only chat and eat hot pot in the cold wind. Bird Attack: It's so wet and so wet. Qi Qi: It's not romantic at all, fall!
