Chapter 9 Zhang Bai's fighting method breaks the ring, Xi Zhicai sleeps and worships 4
Xi Zhi just observed Nan Ye for a moment and found that Nan Ye did not realize that he had woken up, but he couldn't pretend to sleep like this. So Xi Zhong calculated his words, stretched out, wiped his saliva and sat up. Pretending to see Nan Ye and being surprised, "I'm really rude. I fell asleep here. Please forgive me."
When Nanye saw that Xi Zhicai woke up, he put down his pen and said, "What's wrong with Zhicai? If it's rude to sleep here, it's also my rudeness first. Please don't be surprised.
Xi Zhicai pretended to be surprised just now, but he was really surprised. Although he is also famous in his hometown, he has not reached the point of fame. He didn't report his name. How did Master Nanye know his name? The words prepared by Xi Zhicai were too late to use, so he said curiously, "How does the mage know my name?"
Nan Ye's words broke the character of Xi Zhong, which is to shock him and let him know that he is powerful. These days, all people who have the ability are a little unruly. Nan Ye wants to subdue his talent for his own use, and naturally he has to show his ability.
Nan Ye smiled and said, "Jizhong, Xizhicai, Yingchuan people. Since childhood, he has been full of poetry and books. He is resourceful and cares about trifles. He is a rare wise man in the world. Nanye knows all the heroes in the world. How can I not know you?"
Xi Zhicai was very proud to hear Nan Ye praise himself as the hero of the world, but Gu Jing said humbly on his face: "The mage is a great honor! The world says that the mage is powerful, and it is true at first sight today. Zhong came to worship the mage as a teacher today and implore the mage to accept me as an apprentice." After saying that, he saluted Nan Ye deeply.
Nan Ye was secretly happy to see that Xi Zhicai came to worship his teacher. He laughed and said, "You don't have to be polite. I am the teacher of Zhicai on the road of science. If you talk about talent and wisdom, ambition can be our teacher, and I'm afraid I will ask you for more advice in the future. I'm not as good as talking about the road of common people.
Xi Zhicai was flattered when he heard this and said, "The three magic questions of the mage are all heard, but they can't be solved. How can they be qualified to sit down and talk with the mage?"
Nan Ye smiled and said, "If you talk about the law, your ambition is not as good as me. When it comes to killing the enemy, we are not as good as Dian Wei outside the door. If we plan a strategy to win thousands of miles, Dian Wei and I are not as good as you. Zhicai can't solve the problem, but it's not longer than this. Don't underestimate yourself. Come to think of it, I don't have shortcomings. Nan Ye pointed to the calligraphy on the table.
Xi Zhicai came forward and looked at it, "Puff~" and laughed. It turns out that Nanye's words are like cats and dogs, just like beginners. Seeing that Nan Ye exposed his shortcomings, Xi Zhong knew that he was a virtuous sergeant who was sincere friends, so he saluted again and said, "Although Zhong is talented, it is difficult to compare with a mage. With a generous heart alone, the mage is enough to be a loyal teacher. I would like to worship the mage's door to practice the road of science, and ask the mage to complete it.
When Nan Ye saw that Xi Zhicai insisted on worshipping his teacher, he nodded and agreed, "It's not a problem for me to spread the scientific road, but now I have something to ask Zhicai."
Xi Zhicai said curiously, "What's the mage asking?"
Nan Ye smiled and said, "What should I compensate for those people who were slandered by you today?"
Xi Zhicai had already seen that Nan Ye did not care about this matter, and also laughed, "One person has a pair of mage cards!" After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
----------
In the morning of the second day, Nan Ye distributed a deck of cards to each of the final interviewers according to Xi Zhicai. Sure enough, several people smiled with joy, and even thanked Nanye whether they were accepted as disciples or not. You know, this limited edition of cards is not easy to buy.
After receiving this group of disciples, Nanye's team of disciples expanded to more than 300 people. The identity of these disciples covers three teachings and nine streams, and basically do everything. If Nan Ye wants to inquire about something or do something in Luoyang City, these disciples can help, and they are also very helpful to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's business.
There is no doubt that the best talent among the disciples is Xi Zhicai. Seeing that he was intelligent, Nan Ye took him around to focus on training, and often asked him questions. He also took him to see Zhang Baiqi's Valley surrender, hoping that he could see any flaws. Unfortunately, although Xi Zhicai is good at strategy, he has no clue about this spell. It seems that it is just like a mountain.
Anyway, this Pigu surrender can't be seen in a day or two, so Nan Ye simply put this matter aside. Every day, in addition to teaching disciples to popularize Arabic numerals and scientific knowledge, they urge craftsmen to make mahjong and send it to the Lingdi as soon as possible.
Nanye, who is already busy with his feet, has one more thing to worry about, that is, the 3,000 soldiers outside the city. With the financial resources of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, it is not a problem to support these soldiers for the time being, but they can't stand it after a long time.
Of course, Nanye can entrust 300 disciples to arrange these 3,000 people as Liu Bei said before, and spread it down equally. Each disciple only needs to receive and arrange ten people. However, in this case, this elite force will be disbanded.
Nanye, who knows that the world is about to be in chaos, of course wants to keep this man and horse to save his life in troubled times. But there is a lot of money and food needed to support these 3,000 people. So Master Nanye, who has become famous in Luoyang, began to think about how to make money.
At this time, Nanye's own business is only cards, which is still a joint-stock system. Although Nanye, who took a stake in a technology patent, took 51 percent of the shares as a teacher and took the lead; the production scale of cards has also expanded from 100 pairs per day to 1,000 pairs. However, relying on this income alone to support 3,000 soldiers is tantamount to dreaming.
For good, with the precedent of card cooperation, Nanye can start to consider mass production of mahjong cards. And the tables and chairs I wanted to customize for my disciples before are also things that can be taken out to make money.
It's better to act than to be moved. Thinking of these Nanye, he immediately gathered his capable people for a meeting. Now there are five right-hand assistants around him. The first is Cai Yan, who is talented and beautiful, the second is Dian Wei, the deputy commander-general of the personal defense, the third is Su Shuang, the chief financial officer, and the fourth is the witty think tank loyalty. The fifth is Wang Yi, the chief disciple, a timber merchant. Li Yue and Zhang Shiping were thrown into the barracks by Nan Ye to lead the army.
Nan Ye talked about his idea of making money with these five people, and the first one to raise questions was the drama talent. I only heard him ask, "Now that the yellow scarf is flat, what does the mage raise many soldiers and horses for? Doesn't the mage also want to learn that horn?"
Nan Ye took a look at Xi Zhicai. This man is really smart. He doesn't talk about the problem, but digs deep into the root cause. It's just that he speaks too directly and not euphemistically, and he is usually not informal. If he is not elegant, I'm afraid he can't tolerate him. However, Nan Ye likes his straightforward nature very much. On the contrary, those roundabout literati can't stand Nan Ye. At least Nan Ye and Xi Zhicai don't have to look it up in the dictionary.
Hearing Xi Zhicai's question, Nan Ye replied with a smile, "Zhicai, don't joke. Hundreds of thousands of followers have been suppressed by the court. I have 3,000 soldiers and horses rebelled and played. Isn't it enough!"
Xi Zhicai smiled and asked, "Since the mage doesn't want to rebel, what's the use of raising soldiers?" I just heard what the mage said about the art of making money. If you don't raise soldiers, it's enough to make the mage rich.
Of course, Nan Ye can't say that raising soldiers is to prevent chaos in the world, so he said, "Although the yellow scarf is calm, the world is not calm. Most of the scattered yellow scarf troops occupied the mountain and plundered the four directions. And those local heroes who recruit troops to fight against yellow scarves are also unwilling to give up their power to prevent thieves from making chaos and supporting themselves. If I am rich, but there are no soldiers or generals, I am like fat in the eyes of those thieves. Unless I don't go out of Luoyang, no matter how much wealth I have, I can't keep.
"The mage's words are reasonable! I don't know how many thieves I have met along the way. If it hadn't been for a thousand people, I'm afraid I couldn't meet the mage today. It was Su Shuang who spoke. He, a businessman who traveled north and south, had the most say in this matter. The thousand companions under his men are soldiers on the battlefield. Although they are not as good as Liu Bei's 3,000 elites, they are not weaker than the officers and soldiers at all, so no thief dares to provoke Su Shuang's caravan.
Xi Zhicai said, "Since the mage is for self- Protection, Zhong also agrees. Commercial loyalty is not the director, but this military loyalty wants to remind the mage. Those soldiers had better change their military uniforms as soon as possible, and should not camp according to the formation of officers and soldiers. Otherwise, it's not good to be misunderstood as a mage.
