Chapter 28 Cultivation!
With the apprenticeship of Duan Chong, Cao Ren's journey of martial arts can finally be on the right track.
One year to sharpen the knife.
The sails are raised.
What achievements he can achieve in the future depends on Cao Ren himself.
And after Cao Xin's "insight" is refreshed every day, he can finally be separated from the masters of the major martial arts gyms. He doesn't have to spend on this aspect, and he can free up his hands to carry out the next plan.
…
North of Xijing City, Caishuihe Wharf.
Caishui River is located in the north of Xijing City. Its channel enters from the first "Caishui West Water Gate" from the left of the North City Wall, bypasses a word "Jie" in the North City, and then exits from the first "Caishui East Water Gate" from the right of the North City Wall. There are four piers in the city and near the city alone.
The waterway is unimpeded.
Goods flow freely.
This is how top-notch bustling markets such as 'Maxing Street Market' are born, as well as places where craftsmen and skilled workers such as 'Dahuohang' and 'Small Huohang' live. Moreover, from the small goods store you can go to the brothel in Ji'er Lane, and from the big goods store you can go to the famous Fanlou.
As the name suggests—
The former is the place where boatmen, small businessmen and small households can relieve their fatigue.
The latter is the meeting place for big merchants, as well as the tomb of heroes and the cave of selling gold.
Know everything.
When people have poems—
Liang Yuan sings and dances in style,
Good wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow.
Remembering the joys of youth,
Late at night, the lights go up to Fanlou.
Visible prosperity.
However, under the prosperity, it is difficult.
…
Caishui West Wharf.
The boats are like weaving, and the heat is noisy.
There were tens of thousands of people, and the bare-chested lean men walked like flying, or carried heavy loads on their shoulders, sweating profusely.
This is the scene of the pier.
The boats that come and go.
Coolies unloading goods.
Shouts, chants, and hawkers yelling, making the July day even hotter.
Lu Damiao was one of the unloading coolies.
He is sixteen years old and was born in a village outside Xijing City. His family was in a good position a few years ago, but because his father was seriously ill, after more than a year, seeking medical advice not only used up his family savings, but also sold a few acres of land.
Lu's father was not rescued.
At that time, Lu Damiao, who was only in his early fourteenth year, came to the wharf to discuss life with the elders of the same clan in the village.
It has been two years in a flash.
Lu Damiao has to support his mother, and he has to support his younger brother and younger sister. He just leans on his shoulders and hands to support the family.
How difficult the days are, I don't need to repeat them.
This day.
Lu Damiao was sweating profusely after unloading a ship, and was about to run to find the foreman to pick up another order, when two people appeared in front of him.
One big and one small.
The younger one is about ten years old, and looks upright.
The big one has a black face, and he is kind of honest when he doesn't speak.
Lu Damiao didn't know the young one, but he knew the big one, so he hurriedly greeted: "Brother Cao!"
There is surprise on the face.
This 'Brother Cao' is a member of the Caishui gang. It is said that a year ago he saved the life of a small leader of the Caishui gang on the pier and was accepted as a confidant. Now he also manages a few foremen and a small piece of land on the pier. For such an ordinary coolie, he was already a big man.
But the two have a relationship.
To be precise, 'Brother Cao' treated him kindly.
At the end of last year, the cold snap hit him and he almost fell ill, but he didn’t dare to delay while waiting for the rice to cook at home. feel good.
Worry about your own wind chill.
Worry about the rations at home.
Almost rushed to the heart.
At this time, 'Brother Cao' appeared and gave fifty Wenqian and seven or eight grain cakes to let him and the Lu family survive the catastrophe.
Lu Damiao felt grateful.
But 'Brother Cao' never had contact with him again.
It is only occasionally heard that 'Brother Cao' is a good man, and he was not the only one who helped in the past. He would also help out many people who were in dire straits on the wharf when they were desperate. But what to do in the future or what to do, there is no special care, let alone ordinary contacts.
Really do good deeds without expecting anything in return.
Even if someone wants to pay back the money afterwards, this "Brother Cao" is willing to accept it, and he will not refuse if there is a few more interest.
It can be seen that it is not deliberately showing grace to win people's hearts.
To say something fashionable—
Brother Cao is very Buddhist.
For example, Lu Damiao.
It was the first time he had contact with Brother Cao for borrowing money to tide him over. It was the second time to thank him in person after his condition improved, and it was the third time to thank him after repaying the money after a year.
After that, there was no contact.
Until today.
…
"Zou, Xie, Lu."
"Only these three?"
After Cao Ren led Cao Xin away from Lu Damiao's house, he asked aloud.
"Ok."
"Enough for now."
Cao Xin nodded.
In September last year, when Cao Ren started to change martial arts gyms frequently, Cao Xin suggested that elder brother find loyal and reliable ones from the coolies on the pier and pay attention to them.
Follow-up, I learned more about these people's homes, neighborhoods, and word-of-mouth reviews.
Many materials were recorded by Cao Xin one by one.
In the past year, there have been 67 reliable coolies on the docks like Lu Damiao, but less than 20% of them have passed the family's "political examination" and only 12 households.
Most people’s homes are full of shit, but he himself is not stained with mud, and his character is honest and honest, but the family is one, and Cao Xin is unwilling to bet on these people.
The remaining twelve households are all dependable by myself and my family members.
Several days in a row.
Cao Xin followed his eldest brother to watch secretly, and finally selected three.
Lu Damiao is one of them.
Although the family is small—
Only my mother, a nine-year-old brother, and a seven-year-old sister.
Siblings and sisters are too young to be useful.
But Lu Damiao has a good temper and a simple family, which is even better than the 2-point root, which can be cultivated.
That's why I got in touch today.
In the past, these families including Lu Damiao and others, including the list of the first 67 people, although the eldest brother Cao Ren was paying attention and investigating, he didn't have much contact on weekdays, leaving only a friendship in a timely manner. Keep watching secretly.
Not to mention solicitation.
Can't count as subordinates.
Furthermore, Cao Ren himself is still a small guy who follows the little boss, so how can he have the face of recruiting people?
Today is different.
"The Zou family, Zou Long and Zou Hu."
"Thank you, thank you Changlin."
"Lu family, Lu Damiao."
"In the early stage, I first funded these four people to enter the martial arts hall to learn martial arts. Our family has a lot of money now, but it is not a good thing to give money directly. The big favor becomes the enemy. Now I can take out 1,200 eggs every day, with four The wholesale price of pennies is distributed to three families to sell in the market, and as long as each household is willing to put in the effort and thought, it is not difficult to get one or two hundred pennies a day, which is enough to meet the daily expenses of the family."
"It's easy to recruit a few more households, but there is no work for them for a while, and then the pillars of their family are sent to practice martial arts. How can they support their families?"
Cao Xin has his own plan and rhythm.
Since last August, Cao Xin has been pondering the "talent training plan" since he learned the foundation of "Insight".
With 'insight', talents are easy to find.
But you can't spread it all over the sky, and search for it all over the street.
So he turned his mind on the elder brother, on the Caishuihe wharf. All kinds of people gathered there, and the eldest brother happened to be in the Caishui gang, and had a lot of contact with these coolies on the docks. This is a 'professional counterpart'. Anyway, he couldn't leave Cai Shui Gang for a while, so he simply looked for reliable candidates on the pier.
This search took a long time.
Now.
After a lapse of one year.
The time has come.
This is where the real action begins—
On the one hand, subsidize teenagers of the right age, such as Lu Damiao, Zou Long, Zou Hu, and Xie Changlin, and send them to various martial arts gyms in Xijing City to learn martial arts according to their "martial skills fit". It is a confidant and a reliable helper.
on the other hand.
Cao Xin put the products he managed in the original fairyland——
Such as eggs.
Such as fresh fish.
Such as live chickens.
This type of business is entrusted to the family members of young people such as Lu, Zou, and Xie. Cao Xin is almost free of cost. As long as the price is slightly lower than the market wholesale price and enough profit margins are left for them, they will be able to Let several families be self-sufficient and earn money with their own hands.
Thus.
Their family members were also bound by Cao Credit interests.
Friendship plus benefits.
This is considered stable.
On the other hand, as Cao Xin's output in the original fairyland increased, his sales channels became a problem.
Such as eggs.
At this time, there are already three chicken farms in the original fairyland, with 1,500 adult hens, which can lay at least 1,200 eggs a day.
Say more but not more, say less and much more.
But it is definitely difficult to eat with just a few restaurants.
If you go to the street market to sell snacks, the Cao family has no resources.
Now, with the manpower of the Zou, Xie, and Lu families, these tasks can be given to them.
They get a small profit.
Cao Xin made a lot of money.
This is a win-win situation.
But still don't rush.
It is necessary to consider the profit distribution of the output of the original fairy world among several families, to ensure that they can support their families, and to consider the speed of "insight"—
"Nine days and one person."
"It will take thirty-six days for four people to fully comprehend and come up with the 'martial skill fit'."
Two aspects together limit the speed of Cao Xin's selection of others and funding of geniuses.
If there is a short board in any aspect, it will be dragged down.
'Insight' once a day, full display for nine days, this cannot be changed.
Cao Xin can only guarantee that the output speed of the original fairy world will not be delayed.
In this way, four teenagers can be sponsored every two months, and three or four families can be sponsored.
One year down.
Maybe it will be saturated, and the output of the original fairy world will be insufficient.
At that time, more than a dozen boys scattered into various martial arts gyms, and after three to five years, they would be worthy of use.
"The output and manpower of the original fairy world are the real constraints!"
Cao Xin frowned and entered the original fairyland.
