Chapter 269

Cheng Dalei didn't know how to answer Li Xingzai's question, should he talk to you about the economic base to determine the superstructure, or the inherent contradiction between vested interests and the lower classes, or the productive forces and social relations...... The point is that Cheng Dalei himself doesn't understand these things.

He could only try to explain that a room that had stood for a long time, and caught up with the wind and rain, would collapse one day. This is something that no one can change.

"Can't the broken house be repaired anymore?" Li Xingzai asked: "Fill the tile where the rain is leaking, and the termites will repel insects, and the pillars will be erected?"

Li Xingya asked the same question as Emperor Ming, and the answer was still the same, so simple that it only needed three words. However, it is obvious that Li Xingzai's vision is farther than Emperor Ming, and Emperor Ming just asked: Can the empire defeat the Rong people, Li Xingzai is thinking about where the empire's problems lie.

Can the empire defeat the Rong people? But the problem remains. The house that should be blown down by the wind and rain will eventually fall.

"A room, a lot of patches, a lot of pillars, if you go to study how the predecessors repaired and how to repair, you will definitely feel that wow, this tile is well repaired, this pillar is beautiful. But no matter how good and better the pillars are repaired, it still can't change the fact that this is a broken house. It's easier to burn it down and rebuild it. ”

When Cheng Dalei said this, Li Xingzai listened very carefully, and Fudler also listened. After listening to this, Li Xingzai's expression became even more decadent, Cheng Dalei didn't think anything of it, anyway, he didn't have to be responsible for his own words, and Cheng Dalei was not the owner of this broken house.

Or concentrate on doing a good job as a bandit.

In the evening, the brothers who had gone out to inquire about the news gradually returned, and everyone got together to exchange the information they had obtained.

There are five castles in the vicinity of Qinchuan Pass, and the closest castle to this place is called Haojia Castle. If you want to drive away the snakes entrenched on Snake Island, you need a large amount of realgar, which may only be available in Haojia City.

"Big boss, there is another question, we have no money now?" Xu Shenji asked a question.

When he left Chang'an City, Cheng Dalei scattered all his family wealth, and now he is really poor and white, starting from scratch.

"Are we thieves, we rob what we lack, and what do we do if we ask for money. Cheng Dalei waved his hand vigorously: "From tomorrow onwards, everyone will not do anything, they will all go to grab realgar." The surrounding small villages and towns, how many to grab, must be fast, fast. ”

"Even if you grab it like this, it's not easy to get together a large amount of realgar in a short time. Li Xingzai asked.

"Then it's up to you. Cheng Dalei smiled with a squint on his face.

"Rely on me, rely on me for what?" Li Xingya suddenly felt a chill down his spine: "The surname Cheng, let me tell you, I'm here to investigate and study, don't drag me to be a bandit with you." ”

......

The next day, Cheng Dalei, Xu Shenji, Li Xingzai, and Fudler entered Haojia City.

first found a ready-to-wear shop, tailored two sets of clothes for Li Xingya and Fordler, and then found a soup pool to bathe and clean their faces.

I really don't know what kind of life the two have experienced, there is a bad smell all over their bodies, compared with them, Cheng Dalei suddenly feels that he is also a delicate little boy.

By the time the two of them came out of the soup pool, their whole bodies were already completely new. Li Xingzai was dressed in a purple brocade robe, with black temples and a folding fan in his hand.

At this time, Xu Shenji had already inquired about the news and came back, the largest crude medicine shop in the city was a shop called Xinglintang, the owner was surnamed Ximen, and he was a famous rich man in Haojia City.

"Cheng Dalei, what do you want me to do?" Li Xingya still hasn't figured it out.

"Shhh Cheng Dalei said.

"Then what are we going to do?" Li Xingya lowered his voice.

"Go buy realgar. ”

"Aren't we running out of money?"

A group of four people came to the front of Xinglin Hall and saw the row of shops, which was the most magnificent place on a street.

The four of them came to the door, and before they could go in, they saw a middle-aged man being pushed out of the room.

The middle-aged man pleaded with his hands in the door: "Please have mercy on me, my lady has been sick for three months, waiting for medicine to save her life." ”

"What kind of place should you be, Charity Hall, open the door to do business, and get out of here if you don't have any money. ”

A man with two beards stood under the eaves, and when he saw Li Xingya, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "This son, are you here to buy medicine?"

Cheng Dalei took out a hanging copper plate and threw it to the man, and followed Li Xingzai into the Xinglin Hall.

"Where is your host, I'll talk to him about some business. Li Xingzai glanced at the environment in Xinglin Hall.

"There is also a silk village on the front street of our owner's house, and I don't often come to the pharmacy, so I am in charge here, you can just talk to me. Shopkeeper Lin said.

"Talk to you, do I have something to talk to you?" Li Xingzai waved his hand and waved his big hand: "Let's go." ”

"Childe is angry, Childe is angry. Cheng Dalei hurriedly stopped him, and said to the shopkeeper: "We are from Qinchuan Pass, and if we want to purchase a large number of realgar, it is best to invite your owner out." ”

Mo Mingmi, who is half a soldier and half a bandit in Qinchuan Pass, is a semi-open secret here, and when he heard that this group of people was from Qinchuan, Shopkeeper Lin immediately paid attention to it.

"My owner is really not ......" Shopkeeper Lin lowered his voice: "The owner has recently had a good relationship with Mrs. Pan in the West Market, I'm afraid that we will eat and drink together, and we don't dare to disturb." How much realgar you want, it's the same as I talk. ”

"Mrs. Pan, a big official at Ximen?" Cheng Dalei's eyes lit up: "Your owner is surnamed Ximen, and his name is Qing?"

"No, our owner's name is Chunchang. Shopkeeper Lin looked confused: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, think of an acquaintance, let's talk about business, right?"

So when it comes to moving the body, raising and moving qi, Li Xingya's every move is a king's style, to put it simply, he is squatting on the ground and picking his nostrils, and he is also the sixth prince of the empire who picks his nose, which is not something that anyone who wants to pretend can impersonate.

This scene really frightened the shopkeeper Lin, so the two sides negotiated smoothly. Cheng Dalei purchased a boatload of realgar at a high price, and Xinglintang was responsible for sending it to Qinchuan, and the goods were cleared at that time.

"Three days, three days at most, to deliver the goods that Childe wants. Shopkeeper Lin patted his chest and promised.

Things went so smoothly, and the four of Cheng Dalei were also relieved.

"It's just that Childe doesn't pay a deposit first, so that we can arrange for our subordinates to work?"

Li Xingzai was stunned for a moment, and raised his head to see a cunning light flashing in the triangular eyes of Shopkeeper Lin.

"Deposit?" Li Xingzai paused, and took out a jade pendant from his arms: "Do you think this is enough?"
