Chapter 1360: The Road of the Merchant, the Bandit Attacks
Huo Zhilong was silent all the way. Obviously, what happened in the town touched him a lot.
Chen Yi didn't say much when he saw this. He still needed to untie these bends by himself. He was just a guide. If he wanted all kinds of changes, only his heart was the best explanation. Otherwise, he would only backfire. This would not be a good thing.
In the evening, Huo Zhilong had finished his cultivation and recovered his spirits. He said to Chen Yi, "Brother, I understand. I will definitely work hard and will not turn my greed into another person. I will definitely not. I will definitely defeat myself."
"How easy is it to defeat yourself?" Chen Yi laughed silently and said, "You, what I mean is that you have to control the greed's thoughts. Greed is the nature of human beings and cannot be changed. But as long as you can control the belief in greed and make it your motivation, then the value of greed can be more sufficient. People have seven emotions and six desires. This is the motivation for people to create and move forward. You must control it more perfectly and control your own so that this kind of resistance becomes your powerful means. I believe you should be clear about it."
When Huo Zhilong heard this, he suddenly realized that it was like this. Thinking about it, greed is the nature of human beings. How to completely defeat it will be revealed inadvertently, and the consequences are quite serious, which is also very important.
"I understand, brother, I will definitely work harder and practice harder, and I will not disappoint you."
"Okay, that's right. I also hope that that day will come sooner. Well, have dinner first, and then go to bed early after eating. I will continue to practice tomorrow." Chen Yi didn't care about the slower journey. Walking slowly is also an experience.
After dinner, the two of them rested. It was common for the windy meals and overnight stays to eat and stay, so they didn't need to care much.
The next day, Huo Zhilong was still running forward, and he started practicing boxing, palms and leg skills in the afternoon. This is also quite attentive. Only by practicing wholeheartedly can one go further and give oneself more opportunities to change.
A few days later, they came to a business road, where there were many teams of businessmen, obviously for business.
"Big brother, are those people businessmen?" Huo Zhilong said while running. It turned out that the caravan was like this.
"Haha, yes, they transport goods from a long distance and then buy and sell goods from their destinations. In this way, they will make money every time they go and go. This is the purpose of merchants, but it is of great benefit to the promotion of the country's economy. You must know that without merchants, the goods will not be circulated and become quite rigid, and how can we promote the prosperity of the country?"
"So, businessmen have a great role, but why is it so important, but what if they don't look like?"
"This means that they have been seriously exploited and have few profits. How can they be happy? You have to know that if you take this trip, you have to pay your life. For example, once you encounter robbers or bandits, the consequences needless to say, they are definitely quite interesting. This is still very experienced. For them, it is already the truth."
"So that's it, then those nobles are the biggest backup." Huo Zhilong immediately thought of something and suddenly said.
"You are also enlightened, yes, this is the biggest problem. The nobles do everything for their own interests, regardless of the life or death of merchants. They are addicted to wine and meat, but they do not know how much the price for merchants to go to business. It is like not knowing how difficult it is for ordinary people to grow food. Once the year of natural disasters, it is hard to say how many people are killed or injured."
After hearing this, Huo Zhilong couldn't help but remain silent. He was still clear about this. He had almost never survived that time, and he didn't see the empire giving him any support, and he had to collect taxes. It can be seen that the nobles of the empire were completely and had no use at all. The more remote the area was, he was cruelly exploited, and it was difficult to survive.
"Big brother, I understand, I understand that many things are so helpless, because the empire has been destroyed and can no longer care about the common people. It is really regrettable, and the key is that the nobles are almost corrupt."
"Yes, why did the empire decay? In fact, high-rise buildings are already decayed. They no longer have the motivation to move forward. They just want to enjoy it. The consequence is that they are getting worse and worse. If you want to change, you don't have the ability to do so. You are right. This is the biggest drawback and the biggest helplessness. It is too difficult to change, and it is even more difficult."
Huo Zhilong has known a lot and understood a lot of things during his practice. After all, the empire has already.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go, keep moving forward, the road is still far. The road you need to walk is still long, don't care so much." Chen Yi nodded and said, then led him to move forward. As for those caravans who saw it, they just peeked from afar and didn't want to contact them at all. Obviously, it's better to be cautious yourself, which is the reason for their survival, otherwise wouldn't it be bad.
After afternoon, Chen Yi valued a small forest and took Huo Zhilong to eat and practice here.
"Let's practice here today. Keep practicing. Only after you have mastered your hands and feet, you can use weapons more freely." Chen Yi sat down and said, put away the lunch, and let him continue practicing. The road to cultivation is to advance but not retreat.
"Yes, big brother." Although Huo Zhilong felt that his strength was stronger, he still worked hard to practice and could not relax. Otherwise, how could he become stronger and better protect himself? He had to be stronger in order to walk a further path.
Chen Yi looked at him tempering and couldn't help but smile, leaned on the trunk behind him, intending to take a good rest, but he was alert to everything around him. Although he closed his eyes and rested, he was controlling everything around him and could not escape his eyes.
Time passed slowly. When the sun shrank westward, the ground suddenly vibrated, which made him feel unhappy. After looking at it, he realized why. He couldn't help but open his eyes and looked at that place. Then he stood up and said, "Xiaohuo, pay attention. There may be a good show to watch in a while. This may be an experience for you. Do you understand?"
"Well, I understand." Huo Zhilong stopped the effort when he heard this, stood beside Chen Yi, looking at the place outside the woods.
Not far from the woods, there are several camps where caravans unite. Although they rely on each other, they are also wary of each other. It is not difficult to guess that only cautious people can survive better. In addition, they can only leave their fate.
And the people in that camp also felt something in an instant. They were about to set up camp and prepare for dinner. At this moment, they were panicked. This was not a good thing. How could they be willing to surrender? It was absolutely impossible. Get ready immediately.
Soon they skillfully arranged the fortifications. Although it was simple, they could withstand the sneak attacks of the robbers to the greatest extent.
"You see, this is why they can survive, because in this way they can better exert their strength. All of them are simple, but this keen intuition needs to be cultivated for a long time. The robbers will not reason with you, so they must first stabilize their own side in order to make a better arrangement and give you more choices."
Huo Zhilong listened and looked at it, and couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yes, big brother, I understand, there are so many things I want to learn, it seems that I need to go to more places to learn better. Thank you, brother for your advice."
"Haha, Xiaohuo, you have also learned to flatter. OK, don't care. There will always be some setbacks in life, it depends on whether you can walk your own path. This is the most important thing. It goes without saying how difficult the road is. I believe you also know that you should watch it carefully now, and there are still many things you have learned?" Chen Yi said with a smile.
Huo Zhilong's face turned red, but he still didn't say much, and his eyes were fixed on the side of the businessman's camp, wanting to learn more.
At this moment, the robbers arrived before the merchant camp. After seeing them, they were ready and couldn't help but move. After a long time, they shouted, "Super the money to buy the road, otherwise you will be buried here together. This is your last chance."
"This leader can buy wealth, but we have not gained much. We are very careful and hope that the leader will accept it." One of the caravan leaders took out a purse and put it on the pile of goods, hoping that they could escape this disaster.
The robbers naturally would not be polite, so one of them went to take the wallet and handed it to the leader. After the leader weighed it gently, his face changed, and he threw the wallet to the ground, shouting, "You are sending beggars."
"Chief, we are all small businesses, we don't have much money, we really don't have it anymore." The man also said nervously, very clear about the nature of the robbers, but this time we went to the business, it was really not very good, and we didn't get much money. This money was collected by several caravans, otherwise there wouldn't be so much, and we might have to lose money.
