Chapter 345 Sun Chang, Put Down the Bait

After begging several times, and finally promising to only watch from the side and not make trouble, Gao Ming reluctantly agreed to bring the game characters to the pier to play.

Gao Ming got on the bullock cart with the game character in his arms and chatted with the old man who drove the bullock cart.

[Gao Ming: Uncle Kun, your boy is very successful now. I heard that he learned the craft from a teacher in Huai City. After two years, you can enjoy happiness. 】

[Gao Kun: What blessings do you enjoy, you have to move if you should move. 】

Listening to the two of them chatting, Lin Qian'an couldn't help but think of what happened in the last archive.

At that time, Gao Kun was seriously ill because of the cold weather, but he didn't want to delay his son's affairs.

This kind of thing happened more than once or twice this winter.

In the face of natural disasters, ordinary people simply do not have much resistance.

After fast-forwarding, the game character was led all the way to the pier by Gao Ming.

The Fengshui River is a big river, and there are many merchant ships passing by. Gao Ming placed the game character in a nearby tea shop selling tea, and was looked after by the daughter of the tea shop owner.

By the way, this tea shop was also opened by the Sun family.

The owner of the tea shop is a distant relative of the Sun family. His name is Sun Hanning, and his daughter is Sun Ya.

Because it was really difficult to make a living at home, he came to join the clan.

Then the Sun family also gave them the business of this tea shop to save face.

There are so many men working hard at the dock, and they have to buy tea and drink when they are tired from work.

His business is also fair, a penny manages your tea for a day, and keeps you all you can drink.

Of course, it is said to be tea, in fact, there are not many tea leaves in it, it is simply boiled water, with a little tea fragrance.

A small profit, but barely enough for the family to spend.

These are all information that Lin Qianan asked from Sun Ya. He also asked the name of the steward in charge of handling the goods at the terminal, as well as the names of some other stewards of the Sun family, as well as some temperaments.

According to Sun Ya, the steward here, Sun Gong, is a miser who will do anything to deduct. He usually finds excuses to deduct workers' wages, and his vision is very shallow.

When Lin Qianan heard Sun Ya's evaluation, he also let go of the idea of ​​going directly to this place to manage the transaction.

If the anthracite was given to Sun Gong, he would definitely not hand it over to the Sun family easily, but would profit privately.

Most of the latter will be sold to the public at a higher price than charcoal, squeezing more money.

This matter can only be left to the Sun family of a thousand-year-old family.

The Sun family has been in business for thousands of years, and it has changed from wealth to wealth.

In the last archived winter, the Sun family also donated porridge several times to ordinary people, belonging to the black-hearted capitalists with a slightly longer-term vision.

The current coal is worthless, there is almost no profitable business, and the firing technology is simple, they will definitely not mind giving it to the people when the time comes.

Lin Qianan heard that Sun Chang, the third young master of the Sun family, would sometimes come to the dock to check on business, so he was moved.

He has to wait until this young master arrives.

So Lin Qianan begged Gao Ming almost every day to let him bring the game characters into the city.

Of course, this is the case every day, and Gao Ming will definitely not agree.

But the problem is, Lin Qianan will archive and read files.

So every day can be the first time.

Finally, after reading the file for more than ten consecutive days, Lin Qianan met Sun Chang, the third young master of the Sun family.

Looking at his face, he was about twenty years old. He was wearing a black cloak. Accompanied by his servants, he walked among the goods at the dock without hesitation. From time to time, he asked the servants to open boxes of goods to check the situation.

When Lin Qianan was thinking about how to contact the other party, he walked towards the tea shop.

He settled in front of the tea shop and greeted Sun Hanning.

[Sun Chang: Uncle Hanning, it's cold, you have to remember to put on clothes, don't look back and catch a cold. 】

Sun Hanning hurriedly saluted.

[Sun Hanning: Thank you Third Young Master for your concern. 】

Sun Chang nodded and looked at Sun Ya who was holding the game character.

Sun Ya also quickly put the game character aside and salutes him.

[Sun Ya: I have seen the third young master. 】

Sun Chang shook his head.

[Sun Chang: Sister Ya, I've said it many times, you just call me cousin, we are all family, why do we have to be so divided. 】

As he spoke, Sun Chang asked his servants to bring two large cloaks.

[Sun Chang: It's cold, don't be frozen. This is the cloak that I commissioned someone to custom-make at Qianyifang. I don't know if it fits, so you and Uncle Hanning can wear it! 】

Sun Ya waved her hands again and again.

[Sun Ya: How is this made? 】

When Lin Qianan saw this scene, he knew that there was a story in it.

Most of the time, the young master of the rich family likes poor relatives, and then tossing each other over the issue of the right match.

But it doesn't matter, what matters is that this is a good opportunity.

After several shirks, Sun Ya and Sun Hanning could only accept two cloaks, and Sun Ya's face was full of shyness.

The little girl's posture has already been shown vividly.

At this time, Lin Qianan felt that the timing was almost right, and he typed to let the game characters speak.

[Gao Zhang: Is this the third young master you are talking about, Sister Ya? How is he different from what you said? 】

Hearing the sound, Sun Chang's attention was attracted.

[Sun Chang: Whose child is this? 】

And Sun Ya also quickly spoke up.

[Sun Ya: It is the son of Uncle Gaoming at the dock. The child is ignorant. Third Young Master, please don't know him in the same way. 】

Sun Chang nodded, then squatted down and asked the game character.

[Sun Chang: You said that what my sister said was different from what your sister Ya said, what is the difference? 】

[Gao Zhang: Sister Ya said that Third Young Master, you are benevolent, kind-hearted, and handsome, but she feels that you are not a relative, so she is a little afraid, but I think Third Young Master, you are very relative, and you also gave clothes to Sister Ya and Uncle Hanning. 】

Hearing the sound, Sun Ya blushed.

But there was a smile on Sun Chang's face, and he looked at Sun Ya.

[Sun Chang: Sister Ya, you arranged me like this behind your back? 】

Sun Ya lowered her head embarrassedly.

[Sun Ya: Third Young Master, don't listen to his nonsense, children are ignorant. 】

Sun Chang shook his head.

[Sun Chang: It is said that Tong Yan has no scruples, I think you are the one who lied, you are not allowed to be afraid of me in the future, you know? 】

Hearing this, Sun Ya could only nod shyly.

What normal girl is not afraid of this overbearing president Fan Er?

The flirting between the two ended, and Sun Chang looked at the game character.

[Sun Chang: Ah Fu, the little guy can talk, reward him with ten coins. 】

A servant behind him stepped forward quickly, took out a string of copper coins and handed it to the game character.

Lin Qianan did not reach out to pick it up.

Seeing this, Sun Chang's expression softened.

[Sun Chang: Too little? 】

[Gao Zhang: No merit, no reward, I didn't do anything, I'm embarrassed to accept the reward from the third young master. 】

Sun Chang nodded and began to seriously look at the game characters in front of him.

[Sun Chang: I didn’t expect that a laborer could give birth to such a child. You are smart. There are some ignorant people in the school of my Sun family, and the family’s money was wasted. It is better to give the opportunity to the right one. Man, I think you are at the age of enlightenment, are you willing to study and read in it? 】

Lin Qianan raised his eyebrows, not expecting Sun Chang to be so generous.

An opportunity to read and write, in such a society, is almost equal to an opportunity to change class.

Its value is self-evident.

It is no wonder that this third young master is so popular with his willingness to throw such an opportunity just after a few exchanges.

[Gao Zhang: Of course I do, but my father said that I can't take other people's benefits for nothing, so I'll give this to the third young master! 】

As he spoke, Lin Qianan manipulated the game character to take out the piece of anthracite that he had been carrying in his arms.

After Sun Chang took it, he glanced at it, then frowned slightly, and asked curiously.

[Sun Chang: What is this? Looks like coal, but something different? 】

[Gao Zhang: Anthracite is made by Brother Shi and I. There is no soot for grilling fish, so we are not afraid of poisoning! 】

Sun Chang's eyes narrowed slightly, apparently grasping the words "no soot, no fear of poisoning".

[Sun Chang: What's your name? 】

[Gao Zhang: Gao Zhang. 】

Sun Chang nodded.

[Sun Chang: Come with me, I have something to ask you. 】

While talking, Sun Chang let the servants carry the game characters all the way to a remote and simple room.

Then he began to ask Lin Qianan about anthracite.

Lin Qian'an also told the whole story and told how to make anthracite.

After Sun Chang found out, he immediately sent his confidants to conduct experiments.

Soon he got results.

When he saw the burning anthracite with no soot, his expression changed several times, and finally he exhorted the game character.

[Sun Chang: Gao Zhang, don’t tell others about this method, and tell your friends not to spread it out, you know? 】

[Gao Zhang: Well, I see, Third Young Master. 】

Sun Chang nodded and summoned a servant.

[Sun Chang: Sun Ji, immediately take 3,000 taels of silver from the warehouse, find my second brother, and buy his two coal mountains in Wangjia Village. If he thinks it’s not enough, you can add 5,000 taels. 】

When Sun Ji heard the sound, his expression became slightly puzzled.

[Sun Ji: Five thousand taels to buy two useless coal mountains? Three young masters.. this? 】

Sun Chang frowned slightly.

[Sun Chang: Huh? 】

Upon seeing this, Sun Ji hurriedly performed the salute.

[Sun Ji: I'll do it when I'm young! ! 】

After that, he trotted away all the way.

Sun Chang smiled, then took out the money bag and took out a piece of silver and handed it to the game character.

[Sun Chang: Xiao Gaozhang, take this piece of silver home first, if your parents ask, say that I reward you for speaking well, don’t mention the anthracite thing, I will arrange for your father later Better make a living, let you move to the city, do you understand? 】

Lin Qian'an's expression was calm.

Right this time.

Although Sun Chang is also a capitalist, he keeps his promises and does not directly bully even young children, which is somewhat conscientious.

Lin Qianan manipulated the game character to take the piece of silver, and then responded by typing.

[Gao Zhang: I understand, thank you Third Young Master! ! 】

Immediately, Sun Chang led Gao Zhang out of the small house with a smile on his face, and handed him back to the tea shop.

[Sun Chang: Sister Ya, I will come to see you another day. 】

After saying hello to Sun Ya, Sun Chang walked away quickly, as if he had something urgent to do.

Lin Qianan looked at his back and sighed slightly.

I hope there will be two fewer deaths this winter! !

The money Sun Chang gave made Gao Ming very scared, but when he heard that it was a reward, he accepted it.

In the following period of time, a group of coal diggers appeared in Wangjia Village, and there were also more anthracite coal workshops outside the city, and the owner of these workshops was Sun Chang, the third young master of the Sun family.

Anthracite is cheaper than charcoal, and because there is not much toxic smoke, it is very popular with poor families.

Of course, when selling anthracite, Sun's shop will also remind them to pay attention to ventilation when using it.

After all, anthracite is actually a bit smoky. If the burning place is not ventilated, it will also be poisoned by carbon monoxide.

Because of his diligent work, Gao Ming was promoted to be the steward of one of the anthracite coal workshops. He has about a dozen laborers under him, and was also given a house in the city. The game character even went to the Sun Family Academy to study. Qualifications.

The arrival of this series of good luck made Gao Ming feel a little incredible.

As long as Lin Qian'an doesn't take the initiative to say it, even if he wants to break his head, he probably won't be able to think of the truth.

The work of digging coal and making anthracite supports the people of Gaojiacun and Wangjiacun, and because of this, the third young master of the Sun family has a higher status in the family, and he has a posture of rivalry with the young master of the Sun family.

The Sun family has always been that the able will go up, the flat will give way, and the mediocre will go down.

As a result, the eldest son of the Sun family, who originally had more resources, now began to worry about the choice of the position of the patriarch in the clan.

As a result, the open and secret struggles of the Sun family became more intense.

Of course, these have nothing to do with game characters.

The game characters have now come to the Sun's school to read and write.

Those books only need to be turned over once, and the game characters can learn all of them.

Because of this, game characters are more liked by the master than those ignorant and incompetent children of aristocratic families.

On the contrary, those poor students are also hidden from the well-studied game characters.

Lin Qianan understood the position of the characters in the game, and did not intend to fight with them. He just took out some children's things and quickly attracted their attention.

Saying a few good words will hold these children high, and even they have to protect the game characters in turn, saying that this is his little brother, and others can't bully them.

Soon, winter will come.

This year's cold winter is particularly terrifying, but the presence of anthracite has reduced the number of people dying from the cold everywhere around.

And because the workshops that mine coal and make anthracite provide jobs, fewer people starve to death.

Of course, it is limited to the vicinity of Fengshui City, and cities farther away cannot be taken into account.

The game character moved into the city to live, and Lin Qianan planned to start him on the path of transcendence without worrying about eating and drinking.

Lin Qianan made various attempts successively.

Finally found that martial arts is the most suitable for this world.

In this world, the vitality of heaven and earth is so thin that there is almost no other supernatural elements, and the meditation path of simply cultivating spiritual power is not easy to walk. In the case of an imperial weapon, there is little difference between lack of vitality and seeking death.

On the contrary, it is the most basic thing like martial arts, the extraordinary system that can be cultivated as long as you have enough food is the most suitable for the current environment.

When Lin Qian'an manipulated the game character to practice internal skills, the attribute of infuriating qi value appeared on his panel.

However, the talent of the game characters is too poor, and the game does not have the function of upgrading to obtain attribute points. Lin Qianan can only make the game characters work hard.

Fortunately, Lin Qian'an has also mastered some martial arts exercises to improve the root bone. I will not mention the "Jing of Yi Jin", "The Sui Sui Jing". It is called "Root Bone Improvement Technique", and the effect is much stronger than "Yi Jin Xi Sui Sutra", so it is not a problem that the root bone is weak in the initial stage.

The only problem is that these exercises require a certain amount of external energy.

This process will take a long time.

The game characters are already weak and lack nutrition before, so if they want to practice successfully, it takes more than ten years to say.

This is also because of the characteristics of his own game character.

If you don't have this characteristic, you may not be able to achieve anything by practicing until you die.

Time passed, and the cold winter lasted until July, and then slowly warmed up.

In the past half a year, I don't know how many people have been frozen to death.

During this time, Lin Qian'an also taught the simple martial arts of refining muscles and bones to those children in the same village.

Now their fathers are basically working under Gao Ming, so this is also the first batch of team members.

It is worth mentioning that Gao Shi's roots and understanding are not bad. According to Lin Qian'an's estimation, it was at least around five to six o'clock.

Physical flexibility and responsiveness are far superior to ordinary children.

It is no wonder that with a large bamboo basket ragweed on his back, he can walk like a fly and climb high and low.

In the small courtyard, Lin Qian'an and a group of children were practicing "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong".

This martial art is the easiest to learn at first.

It can be said that there is no requirement for talent.

Even a foolish person can easily reach the first level in two or three years, and the true energy is born from the outside to the inside.

The most important thing is that this martial art can also increase vigor, smash the body, and make you live longer with strong qi and blood.

And after Lin Qian'an's improvement, the meaning of "prajna" has been worthy of the name.

Today's "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" also has the function of improving the spirit. After practicing to the ninth level, you can make your own spirit come out.

Of course, even for the most talented Gao Shi, Lin Qianan estimated that he would be eighty or ninety years old before reaching the ninth level.

That's all, you have to be diligent all the time, otherwise you won't even think about reaching the ninth floor if you practice until you die.

Along with the waving of fists and feet of the game characters, those children also followed suit.

Lin Qian'an taught them while telling them about the key points.

After practicing martial arts, these children have to learn Chinese characters.

Lin Qianan taught them to write a word every day, and came back to check the next day.

Of course, because paper is expensive, they currently write on sandboards.

However, the children study very seriously, because they know that as long as they learn to write, they will not have to work as hard as their parents in the future.

After all, even a young scholar who writes letters in the city can easily earn more than ten times as much money as the laborers earn with their physical effort.

Time goes by so fast.

[You are seven years old. Because of your diligence in reading, intelligence and good learning, you have been awarded by the Master. ]

[You are eight years old. Because of your hard work, your father was appreciated by the host family and became the head of the anthracite workshop. You have changed to a big yard. ]

[You are nine years old, your "Root Bone Improvement Technique" has reached the second level, and the root bone is +2. ]

[You are ten years old, your "Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong" has also broken through to the third level, and your physique is +3. ]

Time flies, and soon the game character has reached the age of ten.

Over the years, Sun Chang, the third young master of the Sun family, has always taken care of Gao Ming, intentionally or unintentionally, and cultivated game characters.

Although the family of game characters in the city is not as good as those of the aristocratic families, they are far more than ordinary families.

As far as savings are concerned, there are already thousands of taels of silver.

And this is also because the game characters need to buy tonics for a long time to practice martial arts, otherwise tens of thousands of taels are possible.

Never underestimate the mining-related industry. If it weren't for being smart and honest, he would not dare to reach out for some things that the owner would acquiesce to allow him to reach out. It is estimated that he would be full of fat by now.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Ya has now also married Sun Chang and became his concubine.

It could only be a concubine, because Sun Chang had been married a long time ago.

Now that Sun Chang relies on the anthracite coal business, he has gained a lot of support in the family. The day when the Sun family can run for the patriarch is getting closer and closer. If nothing else, the position of the patriarch is probably his.

But Lin Qianan knew that if there were no accidents, there would definitely be accidents.

Sun Chang's eldest brother, Sun Shengda, is not a good friend. In recent years, he has been secretly suppressing Sun Chang's industry, trying every means to destroy Sun Chang's anthracite business.

They even sent some street thugs to set fire to the factory.

If it wasn't for Lin Qian'an to resolve the matter by reading the files, Sun Chang would probably have a headache for a long time at that time.

Of course, it was precisely because he resolved this matter that Gao Ming was appreciated, and he was promoted to general manager.

By the Fengshui River, the spring breeze is blowing, Sun Chang is fishing with a fishing rod in his hand, and next to him is a game character who also holds a fishing rod.

Whoosh~!

With the sound of the fishing line tightening, Lin Qianan manipulated the game character to lift the rod.

However, the fish below was a bit big, causing the game character's fishing rod to be pulled and bent more than half.

Lin Qian'an manipulated the game character to reach out and slap the fishing rod. When his qi was running, he stunned the fish below, and lifted it out of the water.

Bang~!

The fish fell into the wooden barrel on the shore, making Takaishi who was standing beside him look happy.

He took off the hook, held the fish and looked at the game character with a smile.

[Gao Shi: Master Zhang, what a big fish. 】

Sun Chang also smiled, and he handed the fishing rod to his subordinates.

[Sun Chang: Brother Gao Zhangxian, you are amazing. I just can’t keep my heart down when fishing. The more the fish don’t bite the hook, the more anxious I get. 】

[Gao Zhang: The third young master is too famous. Whether this fish bites or not depends on the bait. As long as there is enough bait, it will naturally be hooked. 】

After the two had a fight, Sun Chang closed his eyes and pondered.

After a while, he opened his eyes and asked.

[Sun Chang: What if you eat the bait and don't catch any fish? 】

[Gao Zhang: There is nothing inevitable in the world, Third Young Master, you must understand that everything changes a lot, and all we can do is to do our best and obey the destiny. 】

Hearing the sound, Sun Chang couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

He looked at the game character with a complicated expression.

[Sun Chang: If you don't know, who would dare to believe that brother Gao Zhangxian is only ten years old? 】

[Gao Zhang: Ambition is not at a young age, but without ambition is a hundred years old. If one considers a hero based on age, how many old people have achieved the achievements of the Third Young Master? 】

Sun Chang smiled.

[Sun Chang: It is extremely, extremely! ! Brother Gao Zhangxian can see it clearly. Since that is the case, I wish Brother Gao Zhangxian to pass the exam in advance. 】

[Gao Zhang: I would like to thank the third young master Ji Yan. 】

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have guessed that in private, the third young master of the Sun family, Sun Chang, would be called a brother by a son who was in charge.

But in fact, Sun Chang took advantage of this matter.

In recent years, the game characters have helped Sun Chang to open up a lot of markets in business, and he has also given him some very profitable little inventions and improved planting techniques. Even Sun Ya was helped by the game characters.

It can be said that without the help of the game characters, it is absolutely impossible for Sun Chang to reach the level where he can compete with the young and old of the Sun family.

Of course, Lin Qianan also has selfishness.

That is, he wants to support the game characters to practice martial arts and read books.

Many precious medicinal materials and isolated books were obtained from Sun Chang's help.

Those things are really rich and you can't buy them, you must have some channels and identity.

So both parties are mutually beneficial.

Sun Chang can be regarded as an informal person. After seeing the special character of the game character, he decisively called the game character as a virtuous brother.

To replace the rest of the Sun family, there is absolutely no such courage.

After the two talked, Sun Chang excused himself and left.

Looking at his back, Lin Qianan understood that Sun Chang was planning to trick his eldest brother at the last moment of the patriarchal election.

He doesn't care who wins or loses. After all, from the beginning, he didn't focus on wealth and fame.

What Lin Qianan wanted was something extraordinary that far exceeded wealth, fame and fortune! ! !

Thanks to the following bosses for their sponsorship.

Eyes of Mourning

One thought becomes kun, one thought becomes chicken

thank you very much! ! !
