Chapter 169

Although Taoist Qianhe was anxious, Uncle Jiu still let him stay for a few days.

He didn't do anything else during these days.

The two brothers just talked about the past, talked about the interesting things in Maoshan, and talked about their recent experiences.

Uncle Jiu also told Taoist Qianhe what happened in Jiuquan Town.

"A country where women have to sell their bodies to support themselves has no hope. This is oppression, this is systematic oppression. We must liberate them and save them."

"I have heard those friends talk about these things. This kind of sad oppression is everywhere. Just like the mayor who is worse than pigs and dogs, he oppresses not only those prostitutes, but also the men and women in his town. Who is not oppressed by him?"

"Even these oppressed people don't even know that they are being oppressed. There are even some people who have a decent life and are willing to accept this oppression."

"It is only in these years that the emergence of one movement after another has made the people have some awareness of resistance. Otherwise, I am afraid that my friends will be in a more difficult situation."

"Even now, not all people understand them and support them... What they have to do is not to treat people to dinner, but to make a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice, and to fight for a long time..."

Uncle Jiu didn't expect that Qianhe would make so many analyses just by mentioning this matter.

For a while, there were many surprises.

Finally, he smiled and shook his head, looking at Qianhe and said.

"I think I understand why that Chang guy is so vicious and afraid of them."

"No wonder that Chang guy wants to sell you to the Japanese pirates. You have changed so much, and such a huge change has occurred in such a short time..."

"That Chang guy is probably scared..."

After hearing what his senior brother said, Taoist Qianhe just smiled.

"I am just parroting these things, but although I don't know much, I think what they say is right and their analysis is reasonable."

The two people laughed and talked again.

But some small conversations were heard again.

"Tingting, you ask Master Ren to prepare 200,000 kilograms of rice, and the cost will be deducted from my share."

Ren Tingting smiled.

"Why do we need to deduct your share, Xiaoyu? Let my father pay for this money. You can keep the money first. I guess there will be many places to use it in the future."

"Everyone has supported the uncle, and I have promised to help. Naturally, my father should also contribute. A mere 200,000 kilograms of rice is nothing."

"Okay, since that's the case, I won't be polite with you. We are all family."

Lin Yu meant that Ren Tingting was a fellow disciple he recognized.

Compared with Wencai Qiusheng, Lin Yu recognized Ren Tingting more.

Ren Tingting was naturally happier after hearing this.

The smile on her face became even brighter.

"That's right, we have different opinions. Anyway, my father has no son, and the money will be left to me in the future. We can use it as we want."

"As long as we leave some capital, he will have something to do in the second half of his life, and continue his business, so he won't have to worry about other things."

"At most, if he is afraid of no descendants, he can send a branch over to be his child and continue the family line."

"But those family properties must not be given to others."

Ren Tingting also has some momentum when she speaks. Although she is a girl, her words seem to be a bit greedy and mercenary, but people dare not underestimate her.

Her idea is not difficult to understand.

For any wealthy family, once the head of the family has no descendants, or has daughters but no sons.

After death, it is inevitable that the family will be eaten up.

As a girl, it is extremely difficult to keep the family property in your hands, which is almost impossible.

If Ren Tingting had not taken Uncle Jiu as her teacher, with her intelligence, she would be able to get a part of the family property after Master Ren died a hundred years later.

Keep some businesses and shops to ensure that she would have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of her life and continue to live a comfortable life.

But if she wanted to inherit all these properties, it would be impossible.

There may not be many relatives from the same clan, but at this time they must rush up and share the flesh and blood.

Even the local officials can't control such things.

They may even support others to divide the family property.

At most, it depends on whether the officials are humane and how much living security they are willing to leave for the daughter's family.

But for Ren Tingting now, she will not allow others to rob her property.

Even if she doesn't care about these things, she can't let others get it for free.

Even if she adopts a son to her father and has a younger brother, she is still an outsider after all.

There is no emotion.

The Ren family's rich family wealth must not be given to others.

Maybe I will find it troublesome or I can't take care of practicing Taoism in the future, and I don't want to do some business anymore, so I can naturally share it out or give it away.

But it must be that I don't want it anymore and give it to others, then others can take it.

They can't take what I don't give.

So these family properties belong to me, and I can use them as I want.

Now I support some patriotic movements and realize the value of some of these properties.

"Xiao Yu, Tingting, what are you talking about?"

Uncle Jiu and Taoist Qianhe came over.

Taoist priest Qianhe asked with a smile: "Are you going to prepare food for me? Why did I hear that you were going to prepare 200,000 catties of rice?"

Lin Yu smiled and said: "This is just for my uncle. As the saying goes, before the three armies are moved, food and grass go first. Although my uncle has prepared a lot of gold and silver for leaving this time, money is still an external thing after all. I want to exchange it for something real." We need to buy more supplies.”

"Everywhere in the world is having a hard time. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food. What's more, you have to support so many troops. You are in a remote place in the mountains, and the transportation is not convenient."

"It's not easy to get a lot of food in a short while. Even if you produce it yourself, you will be hungry for several months. As Mr. Ren's business is big, the supplies at home are good, and he can use some at any time. of food.”

"Two hundred thousand kilograms of rice is not too much. It can feed an army of 10,000 people for twenty days at most. If you are really at the end of your rope, you can eat these wild vegetables and tree bark for a while longer. It can also save lives at critical moments.”

The importance of food is naturally self-evident.

Taoist Master Qianhe was very moved and very moved.

"Now that things have come to this, Uncle Master, I really don't want to be polite to you. If we can get this food, I don't know how many people can be saved."

"Sigh... It's a pity that you have done a useless job."

Ren Tingting was confused.

"Uncle Master? How can you say that you have done useless work? Could it be that you have already solved the food problem? Food is something you never have to worry about in abundance. Even if you already have enough food, it does not prevent you from saving it. ”

"The world is in chaos, natural disasters, and man-made disasters. Prepare more food. It will always be useful at critical moments."

Taoist Master Qianhe smiled bitterly: "You misunderstood me. I am really excited about so much food, but I can't transport it."

"Even if I use the corpse driving method to drive dozens of corpses carrying gold and silver treasures, I have already used all my strength. There is nothing I can do for two hundred thousand kilograms of food."

"I need you to send a team of people to send it there. The journey is long and difficult to walk. It is not easy for the convoy to cross the mountains."

"And they are still fighting. There are checkpoints everywhere. Maybe you will be robbed by those ruffians halfway."

"So much high-quality food cannot be transported without the protection of guns."

"I feel so bad. I really don't want to give up. I can only watch and drool. There is nothing I can do."

Taoist priest Qianhe was afraid that everyone would not know the situation, so he explained it to everyone again.

"There are also some differences among them. Some people want to directly occupy the big cities, but others have recognized their lack of strength and want to develop in the rural areas first."

"I also felt that it was the right choice to go to that poor place first, so I went to seek refuge, and also to go to Shanwowo."

"The mountains are full of high mountains. There is no good road. It is not easy to get in and out of the mountains. It is because of such difficult terrain that the weak army can survive."

"But although this ensures that we can put down roots there, it is difficult to transport large amounts of supplies. Two hundred thousand kilograms of grain cannot be transported by several vehicles, but it is impossible to transport vehicles into the mountains."

Faced with Taoist Master Qianhe's disappointment, Lin Yu gently shook his head.

Ren Tingting is also confident.

The two of them smiled at Taoist Qianhe together.

"Don't worry, Uncle Master, how could we be so stupid and not consider these issues in advance. Now that we have made plans to prepare these grains, we will have a way to deliver them to you."

This actually aroused the curiosity of Uncle Jiu and Taoist Master Qianhe.

"What other preparations have you made secretly? Why didn't you tell us in advance? What are you trying to do?"

Uncle Jiu asked curiously.

"Don't we want to give you a surprise?"

As he was talking, he suddenly heard another voice coming from outside.

"Second senior brother, Tingting, we are back."

"Junior brother, I'm back."

Two people broke in.

It was Wencai and Qiu Sheng who had gone out early.

Qiu Sheng bent down and stretched out his hand, pushing Lin Yu's back with both hands.

He couldn't wait to push Lin Yu outside.

"Come on, come on, senior brother, come and see if the things we prepared are suitable for use?"

"Qiusheng, what on earth are you doing?"

Uncle Jiu asked.

"Oh, Master, don't ask now. You will know in a moment. Let's all come out and take a look first."

Everyone came to the yard.

There was a cart parked in the yard, as well as Qiu Sheng's bicycle.

A piece of wood was pulled on the cart.

The color is relatively dark, the heartwood is reddish-brown to purple-reddish brown, and looks like a section of rosewood.

It's fifty centimeters high and about the same width.

Lin Yu walked up to him, stretched out his hand and took the dozens of kilograms of rosewood in his hand.

Such a section of rosewood is larger than half of Lin Yu's body.

But Lin Yu turned the rosewood over and over as easily as he was holding a rice bowl.

He even knocked it with his hand.

Bang bang, the sound is crisp.

This rosewood has a tight texture, deep brilliance, no wormholes or holes, and the texture is relatively clear.

It's a nice piece of fine wood.

"How's it going? Senior brother, isn't it good? I asked Carpenter Wang to help me choose this wood. After a lot of effort, I saved it from the wood used by a wealthy family in the town to make furniture for weddings."

Lin Yu looked at the wood in his hand and gently put it back on the cart.

He nodded and was quite satisfied.

"Not bad, not bad, the quality of this rosewood is good, just right for use, you deserve a reward."

Qiu Sheng's face lit up when he heard the word "reward".

"Hehe, senior brother, how much do you plan to reward me?"

"Junior brother doesn't want much, just give me a few dozen dollars as pocket money."

Looking at the greedy Qiu Sheng, Lin Yu smiled.

"Since I want to reward you, it must be something good that no amount of money can buy. In the next three days, I will guide you to practice for one hour every day."

A sentence came out of his mouth.

Qiu Sheng's face fell instantly.

"Ah?"

"No, no, I'm dull, so I'd better not waste your time."

"I should do some things for you and run some errands. I don't want any reward, no reward."

Seeing Qiu Sheng like this, everyone laughed again.

Obviously, they also knew that Lin Yu was making fun of Qiu Sheng.

After reading that piece of wood.

Wencai did hide behind.

He didn't want to take out the things he prepared.

He was also afraid that Lin Yu would reward him.

"Brother, why are you hiding? Take out the things quickly."

Wencai had nowhere to hide.

He could only lower his head and take out the things reluctantly.

He stretched out his hand and handed it forward, still mumbling.

"Oh! I didn't do things as well as Qiu Sheng. I'm afraid this thing can only be used barely. It's really not beautiful. I don't want any reward, brother, just don't blame me."

"What a bunch of useless people."

Uncle Jiu sighed helplessly.

"Xiao Yu, what are you going to make?"

Seeing that Lin Yu prepared a piece of wood, Uncle Jiu already had some guesses.

Such a good piece of wood, it is estimated that it will be used to make some kind of magic weapon?

Otherwise, these materials would not be used.

I just don't know what is in the package prepared by Wencai?

Lin Yu opened the package in his hand.

What caught my eye was a fine, smooth, clear-marked, brightly colored piece of top-quality fur.

Opening it, it had a yellow background with black circles, the fur was apricot yellow or yellow, with larger incomplete black circles on the back and sides, and mixed with black-brown spots.

It was obviously a complete leopard skin.

"I bought this from a hunter in the next town. I heard some time ago that he killed a handsome leopard and kept this skin, intending to sell it for a good price."

Lin Yu reached out and touched the fine and smooth fur.

He nodded in praise.

"It's really a good skin, excellent quality, and good craftsmanship."

Faced with such a good fur, Uncle Jiu and Ren Tingting were also very interested in passing it around.

They kept reaching out to rub this top-quality leopard skin.
