Li Dejian sat in a chair, his face flushed, breathing heavily.

As soon as he saw Qin Yuan coming in, he hurriedly stood up and bowed.

Qin Yuan looked at him with a smile, nodded and praised:

"Sure, you've made a lot of progress these days. That's great."

"After three days of absence, one should look at you with new eyes. I almost don't recognize you anymore."

I still remember that day.

Qin Yuan went to find Pharmacist Li to borrow people to open a shop.

Li Dejian sat quietly in the corner, listening to the two people's discussion.

Twisting around.

I feel very uncomfortable.

It seemed like he had gone through a very long ideological struggle before he stammered and said that he wanted to be in charge of the salt shop.

Pharmacist Li just glared at him, and he was so scared that he kept saying that he was joking.

Afterwards, he looked gloomy and sat in the camp without saying a word.

It was not until Qin Yuan left the camp that he caught up with him and begged him hesitantly.

Qin Yuan smiled and helped him.

For the sake of his own reputation, Pharmacist Li could not refuse and could only let his beloved son do the menial job for a while.

Unexpectedly, after Li Dejian became the shopkeeper for a few days, he became a completely different person.

He is no longer the cowardly young man who dares to slam the table at his tigress-like sister.

Li Dejian touched his head, smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Qin!"

"Don't laugh at me, I just don't want to go back to the barracks."

Qin Yuan stared into his eyes and said solemnly:

"Your father is a very popular figure in the court now."

"If you follow him into battle, you will surely achieve unparalleled feats and leave your name in history."

"If you really think it through, don't go back with your sister."

"No regrets?"

Li Dejian took a deep breath, his eyes firm, and said word by word with force:

"No! Regrets!"

Then, staring into Qin Yuan's eyes, he smiled and said:

"I don't like the feeling of being in a military camp, and I don't like the smell of being on the battlefield even more."

"My elder sister inherited my father's business, and I am just a useless person."

"These days, as the shopkeeper at the salt shop, I have no military law and no training. I live a very easy and happy life."

"Being a businessman is also good. I feel that the value of businessmen has always been underestimated..."

Qin Yuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This kid has a bright future!

As he was speaking, Li Dejian seemed to remember something and hesitated:

"Brother Qin, can I ask you a question? I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, but I still can't figure it out."

"Oh? What's the problem?" Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest.

Li Dejian pondered and said, "These days, I've been standing at the door, watching the people coming and going."

"I can't help but think of a question——"

"After all, it is the farmhands who cultivate the land for the landlords and support them."

"Or does the landlord pay the farmhands their wages to support them?"

hiss--

Qin Yuan took a deep breath and looked Li Dejian up and down.

He was shocked by the young man.

After only being the shopkeeper for a few days, he was able to think of such profound philosophical questions.

Do the workers feed the capitalists, or do the capitalists feed the workers?

Even in later generations, there is still no unified answer to this question.

In the end, we can only "dialectically" discuss it.

The two complement each other and are indispensable.

Li Dejian had only been selling salt for a few days and had seen all kinds of human life, yet he could actually think of this problem!

amazing!

This young man has a bright future!

Li Dejian stared at Qin Yuan in bewilderment, and said to himself:

"Qin...Brother Qin...what...what happened!"

"Is it my fault?"

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I had nothing to do after eating, so I started to daydream..."

"No, no, no."

Qin Yuan quickly shook his head and said, "Your question is very good, it's beyond my expectation."

"I didn't expect you to ask such a question."

"Even if I tell you the answer, you won't understand it. You need to find the answer yourself."

"How about this, come with me out of town tomorrow and maybe you'll have some new ideas."

Li Dejian smiled and knelt on the ground, "Yes! Master!"

Very good, Coolie No. 4 is in place.

Qin Yuan quickly helped him up and said angrily, "Don't call me Master. I'm only a few years older than you. You're already old enough to call me Big Brother!"

"Yes, brother!" Li Dejian was overjoyed.

Qin Yuan took a sip of tea and asked curiously:

"Xiao Li, you're a seven-foot-tall man after all, how could you not be able to beat your sister?"

Li Dejian pursed his lips and said with a wry smile, "Brother, you don't know something!"

"It's not me who has lost face for us men. It's really my sister. She has practiced internal skills..."

"Even if I risk my life, I still can't defeat him!"

Internal strength?

Qin Yuan became interested.

Is there such a thing in this world?

The martial arts he learned were just techniques of exerting force throughout the body and some offensive and defensive moves, which were very consistent with modern science.

I have never heard of "internal power", this illusory and deceptive thing.

Does the internal force that only exists in martial arts novels really exist in this world?

Qin Yuan had lived two lives as a human being, but he had never seen this thing.

Most likely, those were words from Pharmacist Li and his wife to comfort him, right?

So, Qin Yuan smiled and asked, "Then why don't you practice?"

"Your parents can't just teach her and not you, right?"

"I can't learn..." Li Dejian lowered his head, feeling suffocated.
