Wen Rensheng accumulated only 700 taels of silver in the past few years, which he stored in a hole five meters deep under the bed in the house. Water could be found at five meters deep. It was stored and sealed in clay pots.
View and store only once every three months.
The thief would have to dig for a long time even if he wanted to, and someone would have already arrived by then.
The distance is a thousand taels, which is not much different.
The main reason is that he has never used any special means to save money. It is simply the most conventional and most suitable method of accumulating wealth in this world.
Work hard, live frugally, behave well, and build good relationships.
Of course the biggest advantage is that Wen Rensheng knows some medical skills, he himself will not get sick, and his two children are still young and have not gotten sick.
A guard captain earns 200 taels of silver per year, but he also needs to buy various medicinal foods and meats to maintain his external skills, which consumes a lot of money.
It would be great to be able to save 50 taels a year.
It is very difficult to accumulate one thousand taels of silver after more than ten years.
Even if you can make some extra money, you still have to spend money on food, drink, and all kinds of consumption.
Some unexpected things happen and you spend a lot of money.
For example, as a gift, for example, if something big happens, you need to spend money to avoid disaster.
Just like in previous years when the king of the imperial court celebrated his birthday, various counties and cities had to pay tribute to the birthday.
Poor people were spared.
This is an order from the Immortal Sect, and poor families can be exempted from certain taxes.
This can be regarded as the Immortal Sect creating a halo of justice for itself, and the effect is that the loyalty of the entry-level disciples will be +5.
Rich families and middle-class families cannot avoid it.
Everyone wants to go out.
So Wen Rensheng paid a full thirty taels of silver.
This is no small number.
The equivalent of half a year's savings is gone.
Now he will not engage in various inventions and creations, nor will he mess around with various things to get rich, or any business reforms. The more innovations, the more dangerous it is.
If he does it step by step, the risks he encounters are within his range of response.
For example, if he makes an invention and makes a profit of 10,000 taels of silver, the opponent he will encounter will definitely be a big family in the county, with hundreds of servants and a lot of masters of external skills.
But if he was just a guard captain with an annual income of 200 taels, the wealthy would not trouble him unless something unexpected happened.
Something happened recently. The third son of the Liu family broke up. After years of hard work, the third son is going to the next county to become a county captain.
The third young master wanted to take him over and make him his subordinate.
The advantage of bringing him there is that he will be given a secret book of internal energy.
The inner qi secret book can only be obtained by the guard captain who has served the Liu family for three generations. It is the same as the one learned at Qingshan Martial Arts School, but only the first six levels are available, and the last three levels are not available.
This Wen Rensheng has been in this world for twenty years, not to mention cultivating immortals, and has not even come across the door of martial arts.
This is the true Taoism.
As for other beauties, the foundation will be established in three to ten years.
In real life, according to their behavior, they would have died long ago.
The name is Gou, written as Lang.
Only a wise person like him, Wen Rensheng, can see through everything and not make trouble.
Slowly accumulate strength with an annual growth of five percent.
The main thing is to collect information and the surrounding geographical information so that we can leave here before the big danger comes.
Develop good habits and eliminate all dangers as much as possible. From the septic tank in the latrine to the sturdiness of the house, and safety in the middle of the night and at night, we have a plan.
Just like this time, Wen Rensheng decided not to go and gave up this opportunity without even thinking about it.
He passed the opportunity to another nursing captain.
The reason is also very simple. Going to other places is definitely risky.
To integrate into the local area, you need to fight and conflict with local forces.
The third young master didn’t take it seriously, mainly because he wanted to protect the master, and his loyalty was commendable.
Anyway, there is a method of inner qi, so there is no need to send anyone away.
Sure enough, another nursing captain decided to go with him.
Because the other party is 45 years old, and after 50, there is no hope of succeeding in cultivating internal energy.
Three months later.
News came that the third young master had offended the local gentry in the next county.
Then his nursing captain competed with others and was defeated by the other party.
Then the county captain he got through money and connections could no longer hold his position, and could only become a puppet. Anyway, the benefits were to be given to others, and he could only get a salary to ask for favors.
Don’t even think about getting involved in all the benefits.
If you can’t do it well, you won’t be able to do it next time.
Official officials can all be hereditary. If they do well, they can last until death.
In addition to the county magistrate, who is an official, the county also has edicts and chief books. Supposedly, the county captain is also an official, but because of the immortal sect, force is not taken seriously, so he becomes a low-quality official. .
Wen Rensheng's understanding ability is definitely not comparable to those of those people.
He saw something was wrong at a glance, so he didn’t go.
It will take two generations for the Liu family to expand their influence to the next county.
Their biggest relationship in the next county is that the third son's wife's natal family is in the next county and is a big household in Ma.
Obviously this is not enough.
Then he also sent his two godsons, Wen Er to study literature and Wen San to study martial arts.
If you study literature, follow your own example and become a cashier in the Liu Family Restaurant.
Those who learn martial arts personally teach him some basic training methods. The martial arts learned from the martial arts school have to be paid to learn and cannot be taught privately.
Unless you don’t want to live in this county, that’s it.
After learning, it cannot be spread privately.
This is an ironclad rule.
Martial arts schools rely on this to make a living, and we cannot allow people to teach others after learning.
Then Wen Rensheng wanted to find a wife for them, have children, and inherit his surname.
In fact, these days, people pay more attention to surnames rather than blood relationships.
To put it bluntly, it means paying attention to whether it is written down in the family tree a hundred years later, and burning incense for yourself.
Wen Rensheng does not marry a wife himself, but marries his children.
These two children are also relatively traditional children.
Anyway, ordinary people, if it is not about being unable to support the elderly, they still have to take into account their reputation, that is, they can live well in terms of face, and they will not be too filial, nor will they be disobedient and cruel.
Besides, Wen Rensheng is not an ordinary person.
Five years later, Wen Rensheng finally accumulated enough silver, accumulating one thousand taels of silver.
Of course, you can't learn inner qi with just one thousand taels, because you need to supplement a lot of medicinal materials, and you have to practice at a young age.
So he didn’t plan to practice right away.
But continue to save money.
After I saved enough money, I found out that the price of the Qingshan Martial Arts Secret Book of Internal Energy had been reduced to 500 taels.
It is also said that several properties have been put up for sale by Yaren.
Later, Wen Shengsheng realized that a problem had arisen.
He should be running away.
Why the price reduction?
There are many reasons for the price reduction, but the most likely reason is that there is a big problem with the martial arts gym itself, so they have to sell it at a low price.
Under what circumstances would they need a lot of money?
That's when there are some big crises.
The simplest one is, for example, war is coming.
So they started selling the house.
With well-informed people, there will naturally be many people who deal with the fixed assets at home.
Then go buy food and weapons.
Is the secret book a weapon? Cheats are not weapons, they are methods of making weapons. Obviously, when a war comes, this method of making weapons will take a long time.
It is still necessary to quickly convert it into silver, which is safer and more efficient.
At this moment, Wen Rensheng found the third senior brother again and asked for news.
“Excuse me, Qingshan Martial Arts School, why did we reduce the price of the inner qi secret book?”
"This," said the third senior brother, looking around, "actually, it's because our master has fallen in love with a book of immortality, yes, an immortality."
"But that magic , comes from an old handyman disciple who retired from retirement and returned to his hometown. He wrote it for his own health. In order to live a luxurious life in his hometown, he needs two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy it. "
"So. , the master plans to sell the inner energy secret book at a low price, after all, he will want to practice immortality in the future."
When Wen Rensheng heard this, he thought that the director of Qingshan Martial Arts School was already in his 60s. .
Can I still practice immortality at this age?
Is it reasonable to still want to save two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy it?
"A book of immortal arts? But isn't the immortal arts monopolized by the immortal sect? Aren't the immortal arts written by the handyman disciples also copied from the internal methods of the immortal sect?" Wen Rensheng asked rhetorically.
He has been asking for news over the years.
The third senior brother said again: "What they monopolize is their own secret technique. The immortal technique written by this handyman disciple is just self-created, and it is not a high-end thing. I heard that this magical technique Another advantage is that it can roughly identify the quality of children's qualifications in advance, which means that it can reduce the cost of testing children's qualifications."
"It can also prevent many families from drowning in vain. Children who may be gifted.”
"Oh, I understand, but if that's the case, then this kind of magic should be distributed to wealthy families for free." Wen Rensheng asked.
In this way, the big family can find out in advance which child has the qualifications, and then either buy it off or make friends with them. Those who have a grudge will naturally destroy the family... The premise is that the immortal sect does not know, otherwise, They are the ones who will destroy the family.
So the first priority is to resolve it as the best policy.
"Well, what you said makes sense, junior brother." The third senior brother frowned upon hearing this, "Anyway, this is how the master explained it to me. I don't think it makes sense. Maybe there is something else going on here. ?”
“Anyway, when I asked the master, he didn’t tell me.”
"He told me to stop asking."
When Wen Rensheng heard this, he felt that there were many problems in it.
Obviously, he was going to run away.
As for running away, as a Taoist, you must be prepared in advance.
And it just so happened that he had been prepared for it a long time ago.
He had inquired about places ranging from hundreds to thousands of miles away, and even walked there himself.
Of course, we only leave after confirming the safety through the merchants.
Won’t take those unfamiliar routes.
He also had familiar people in some places and even bought a small property.
He first asked someone to inquire about the situation in the county next door, and found that the price of the internal qi secrets there had not been reduced.
It just so happened that his two children were not married yet, so he made arrangements later.
"Children, my father is going to live in the county next door. Someone has hired me to be an old coach there. I am ready to retire there. I can no longer be a captain."
" "Daddy, will there be any problems with Mr. Liu's family?" Wen Er asked worriedly.
"No problem, I have already agreed with Master Liu. I have health problems and cannot be the captain, so I chose to resign. He also gave me a sum of money for retirement."
< br>Wen Rensheng has also made sure that the Liu family has not suffered any major thefts in recent years, and he has both merit and demerit.
Afterwards, Wen Rensheng did everything very plainly.
A month later, he bought the secret book and the corresponding medicinal materials for cultivation, and took the lobster and two children to the next county to settle down.
He has already owned a property here.
It is a small courtyard with three entrances worth 15 taels.
In ancient times, houses in most counties were not valuable. After all, most places in ancient times did not have school districts.
The most valuable ones are the shops in the bustling streets.
There are also irrigated fields that can produce food.
After settling down in the next county town, he asked again about the martial arts gym here.
I found out that their internal energy secret book cost one thousand one hundred taels of silver, which was more expensive than before.
This shows that there is definitely something wrong with Qingshan Martial Arts School.
really.
Two months later, he heard that there was a big fight in the previous Qingshan County.
The owner of Qingshan Martial Arts School, carrying a large amount of money and important belongings with him, was attacked by a group of demon sect members when he left the county town in the middle of the night.
It turns out that the master of Qingshan Pavilion offended a member of the Demon Sect when he went to the capital once.
So this demon came back to take revenge on him.
Sure enough, he ran away when something happened.
Wen Rensheng thought to himself that it was really not new.
However, the efficiency of this magic gate is also low, and it took so long to come here.
Give Qingshan Martial Arts School time to run away and sell off the money.
No, maybe it was calculated, but it just didn't happen until the other party had sold the money before taking action.
So when you take revenge, you can also make a fortune.
Make the opponent vomit blood.
The place where Wen Rensheng’s hometown is was not affected.
However, Liu Da's family was also kidnapped by people from the Fragmentary Demon Sect, and they lost at least ten thousand taels of silver.
This is not a bruise, it is also bleeding.
Because this is cash.
There are not too many big households in Liu, there are more shops, fields and houses.
If Wen Rensheng continues to stay there, there is a high probability that there will be no problem.
The people in the Demon Sect only stole money and did not kill anyone.
But you must take action when you encounter a guard.
Wen Rensheng has no regrets about this. This is the essence of Gou Dao. If the wind is not right, just retreat.
Explore safe retreat routes and various safe houses in advance.
Always be ready to run.
This time, he ran to the next county to settle down.
Then he thought about it and decided to choose a safer profession.
What business?
As he said to the children before, he became an instructor, specializing in teaching the guarding skills of some wealthy families.
They all practice kung fu outside and do not compete with local martial arts schools for food.
Because what he teaches is the most superficial level of kung fu, which doesn’t involve much.
He now has the inner qi secret book, and after completing it, he will go to live in the mountains.
In the mortal mountains, with his now highly accomplished external martial arts training, he can already withstand many dangers.
He began to practice.
Five years have passed and ten years have passed.
When he was 60 years old, he had mastered the inner qi secrets.
At this time, he had been practicing for more than 20 years.
The two children he adopted have already grown up and are married and have children.
Have my own business.
Then he left home with the big lobster, saying that he was going into the mountains to find herbs for the children.
Then never come back.
The news that came back again was that Yinhen Northwest.
The two children begged the hunter to search in the mountains, and found his clothes and supplies from a mountain temple, as well as a white skeleton of similar height.
They cried a lot, took the bones back and buried them.
Relying on the real estate and money left by Wen Rensheng and his ability, the two children settled down and lived like this.
In their eyes, Father Wen just left and became the name on the spiritual throne, a loving father...
