"Not so good! Think about it, our Ji family used to be educated, but not everyone in the family is educated. There are also some who are not educated. It was okay when we were blessed before, but now that our Ji family has no hope of passing the imperial examination and has been exiled to Liangzhou, others have started to think about it. If studying doesn't work out, joining the army and earning a position is fine!"

Ji Fengshou thought there was nothing wrong with this.

How can a person not make progress in life?

Ji Changying was a little surprised: "I didn't expect everyone to be so motivated."

"There was no chance before, but now that the opportunity has come, of course we have to give it a try. Besides, whether we join the army or not, we are already at the border. We could die at any time if the barbarians come. It is better to save our strength and fight in the barracks. Maybe we can even get a position and don't have to worry about the future."

Ji Fengshou said with some emotion.

"What? You want to go too?" Ji Changying asked in surprise as he looked at his father's clear analysis.

"Me? Forget it. I know how much your father and I weigh. Anyway, in this life, I have your uncle above me, your mother in the middle, and you and Xiaochuan below me. I can lie down comfortably for the rest of my life. Most people can't envy me, hehe..."

As Ji Fengshou spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, his face full of pride and complacency.

Being ambitious is something that ordinary people do. Can Ji Fengshou be an ordinary person?

Ji Changying twitched the corner of her mouth: "You... um... you have a really good attitude."

Ji Fengshou said with a smug look on his face: "Your father doesn't have anything else, but he's very open-minded."

Anyway, I have been lying down for most of my life. If I can't let go of this, I will be making myself unhappy.

"Alright! Wait until they come to a conclusion. Then you can ask the prince if he can take them all in! It doesn't matter if we have a few more people anyway."

"Okay, tell me when you've discussed it."

Ji Changying agreed readily. If this was the wish of her fellow tribesmen, she wouldn't mind lending a hand.

In the evening, because the Zhou family settled down smoothly and bought a yard near the Ji family, Ji Fengshou planned to celebrate and slaughtered one of the three sheep in his family.

Ji Fengyi and his friends happened to be on day off and were able to catch this hot pot meal.

We set up two large tables and bought a lot of other meat and vegetables to make it just enough to eat.

Ren Dongnan once again felt that his original decision was absolutely correct!

But helping to kill a few barbarians can get you a lifetime meal ticket, it's worth it!

Therefore, he paid more attention to Ji Changying's martial arts, but just after eating, he looked at Ji Changying with his empty eyes.

Ji Changchuan kicked his sister's foot and stuck out his mouth towards Ren Dongnan to show Ji Changying.

"Eat your meal!" Ji Changying glared at his brother and pretended not to see him.

Ji Changchuan carried Ren Dongnan on his back, holding a small bowl and shoveling food into his mouth enthusiastically, while whispering, "Sister, isn't it time for you to go study?"

Ji Changying suddenly felt that the food in her mouth no longer had any flavor: "Eating can't stop your mouth."

"We are siblings, one is good at literature and the other is good at martial arts. In the future, we will be invincible. If you don't practice hard now, how can you be as famous as me in the future?"

"What's your reputation? I'm as famous as you!"

"If it doesn't happen now, it will definitely happen in the future!" Ji Changchuan was extremely confident.

Ji Changying: “…”

Under Ji Changchuan's repeated urging and empty promises, Ji Changying could no longer bear it and dropped her bowl and chopsticks.

As soon as he was put down, Ren Dongnan grabbed his neck and led him out of the Ji family.

The whole family was used to it and didn't react at all when they saw this.

"Wow! Mr. Ren's skills are truly extraordinary."

Zhou Yidao is now a worldly-wise man, but he has never seen such agile and agile movements as Ren Dongnan.

Zhou Huaijin and the others looked at him with envy.

If they could have such teachers, they might be able to achieve great things in the future.

Ji Fengshou said modestly, "It's not bad, it's not bad. He just likes Ah Ying and takes the initiative to teach her. It's really hard to ask others to do that! I don't know what's wrong with Ah Ying, but she just refuses to call me Master. Every time she goes out with others, she is reluctant. I worry about her."

The four uncles of the Zhou family: "..."

It’s not that they dislike this brother-in-law, it’s just that the way he speaks is really... he deserves a beating for no reason.

…

"Come up in half an hour."

Ren Dongnan threw the man off the cliff again, left after saying something.

Ji Changying's pupils trembled.

I've been trying my best for an entire hour, and now I want to shorten the time by half?

"You can be outrageous, but not too outrageous! I'm a human being, and you're treating me like a donkey!"

Ji Changying pointed to the sky and cursed, but there was no response from above. Ren Dongnan had already reached the top of the cliff.

She gritted her teeth, resigned herself to her fate, took out the tattered dagger and began to climb up...

Another tiring night.

After having enough rest, she would go into the space during the day to harvest the food herself, and put the food produced in the space on the other side, intending to leave the seeds for the people in Xiaotian Village to plant.

In this way, she felt both pain and joy, and her internal strength and mental strength increased rapidly for two days. Zhongli Zhou came to her in person and asked, "How is it going? Any news from the grain merchant?"

Ji Changying nodded readily, "There's news. Because the grain seeds he sells are not expensive, his peers slandered him, saying that his grain seeds are moldy and bad. He was almost imprisoned by the government office there. Now, his peers are pressuring him to buy the grain seeds from him. He's worried about what to do!"

Zhongli Zhou was overjoyed: "How much stock does he have?"

"Thirty stone of rice."

This is all nonsense of course, but Ji Changying reported this number after careful consideration and understanding.

You can't say too much, nor can you say too little.

If you say too much and say that the other party is a small grain merchant, it is obviously not credible. If you say too little, it will not solve the problem.

You can only choose a quantity that is neither too large nor too small, but also within the range.

Hearing this, Zhonglizhou breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again: "Then the price..."

"Of course I asked! He said, 'Small wealth depends on hard work, great wealth depends on wisdom, and long-term wealth depends on virtue.' So when the government and the people are in turmoil, he can't take advantage of the situation to rob people. One bushel of grain costs fifty cents."

The price of grain seeds is already higher than the usual price of grain, and last year's flood caused a shortage of grain seeds. Other grain merchants have raised the price of a dou of grain seeds to 120 wen.

Hearing the price of fifty coins, Zhonglizhou almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears: "How much?"

Ji Changying answered decisively: "Fifty coins a dou!"

Zhonglizhou stood up suddenly. "To think there was such a righteous businessman! Tell him we want all the goods! If I have time, I'd like to meet him in person to discuss cooperation."

"I can tell him that whether he can come or not depends on whether it is convenient for him."
