Chapter 203 Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

This touches upon an eternal mystery for modern people: how did the ancient heroes make money?

After dinner, Xinbao grabbed Yan Shenjue's hand and wanted to run away.

The second brother grabbed him casually and said, "What are you doing, little stinky boy?"

Xinbao secretly glanced at Master Shen and quickly tried to pull his hand away: "Xinbao wants to tell my wife something important."

He held on to it and said, "What's the important thing?"

Xinbao said, "I can't tell you. You won't swell even if I tell you."

Yan Shenjue turned around and corrected: "I understand!"

Xinbao repeated loudly: "You won't understand even if I tell you~~"

The second elder brother is very proud. He would be curious even if you didn't say this. But if you say this, he must listen to see if he understands it.

So he followed.

Yan Shenjue didn't mind, so he explained to Tuanzi: "As far as I know, many big businessmen will find a backer for themselves. If they have connections, they will go to the government. If they don't have connections, they can give up some of their profits to the gang and seek protection."

Xinbao raised his little face and asked seriously, "What about Daddy? Didn't Daddy ask for shelter?"

Yan Shenjue paused and said, "Maybe, maybe it's because you and the governor are already enemies, so it's useless even if you have the protection of the gang, right?"

The second elder brother said, "I know something about this. When merchants seek protection from gangs, they are mainly dealing with the 'merchants'. For example, if you are doing the same business and you have some gang connections but he doesn't, he will have to give in. Or if you encounter a thief or robber, you can tell him who you are and he may give in. Don't expect the gang to fight against the government."

He suddenly remembered that Hu Gua threatened the county magistrate, and paused for a moment: "Not really. I guess the government is also wary of the underworld, maybe because their methods are not open to the public?"

Suddenly someone behind me said, "That's true. No matter how strong the 'bandits' are, they rarely confront the government head-on; but most officials value their lives and don't easily offend the gangsters. For example, Chang'er is my direct disciple, so unless there is a life-and-death feud, officials won't kill him; but the same is true in reverse, for example, for a position like the governor, we don't dare to really fight him easily."

They all turned around and saw Mr. Shen and Mr. Yuan coming out together.

The elder waved his hand and said, "Shouyan, you don't have to see me off," and called Yan Shenjue, "Xiao Jue, come with me."

Yan Shen Jue bowed and followed him out. Seeing that they wanted to talk, Master Shen didn't see them off and just signaled Anshun to look after them from a distance.

He sat down and said, "But this is also related to the business you do. For example, if you do business like grain, you naturally have to pay tribute to the dock gangs. For example, if you do business like silk, the price is expensive, so you usually ask for protection from local gangs to prevent thieves and robbers. But if your fourth brother sells flowers or something, generally speaking, he doesn't need it. But if he becomes big in the future, such as opening a flower shop or a restaurant, he will need a backer. How should I put it? In fact, it is more convenient to have a backer from the government."

He smiled and said, "There are many tricks here. Why? Do you suddenly want to know this?"

Xinbao felt a little guilty, so he blinked his big eyes and said cutely, "Xinbao, think about it, where does the hero get all the money from?"

Master Shen laughed and said, "The hero's money? If he is a real hero, then the money should have been given by his father."

Yan Shenjue came back quickly: "Xinbao, it's time for you to go to sleep, right?"

"Oh," Xinbao opened his arms and let him hug him: "Good night, uncle. Good night, brother, brother."

So Yan Shenjue carried her and walked away, feeling a little happy as they walked. The little idiot Tuanzi was still playing tricks and didn't even mention "gangster" or anything like that.

Yan Shenjue said: "Xinbao, please say it again and I will know."

Xinbao tried hard to pronounce: "Ji...dao...ji..."

She thought for a long time, then leaned on Yan Shenjue's shoulder and said, "Xinbao is tired! Read it to your wife tomorrow!"

There is really no need to correct her pronunciation. Once she gets better, she will get better on her own. So the only meaning of correcting her pronunciation now may be to make my wife happy!

Over there, the second brother chatted with Mr. Shen for a while before slowly returning to the guest room.

Halfway through his walk, he saw a figure standing in the corridor. When she saw him, she took a step forward, her beautiful big eyes shining in the moonlight.

It’s Shen Zhuoli.

Everyone was having dinner tonight, but Shen Zhuoli didn't come, saying that he didn't feel well after lunch. But now, he is waiting for him here.

The second brother had an idea in mind.

I heard that he once wanted to become Mr. Yuan's disciple, but Mr. Yuan didn't seem interested in him.

The second brother smiled and said, "Is it Xiaoyu? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Shen Zhuoli looked at him quietly, and after a while he asked, "Hello, where are you?"

The second elder brother said very calmly: "I also want to ask you, what's so good about you? How could you be accepted as the grandson of the leader of the most powerful sect in the martial arts world?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Shen Zhuoli paused.

After a while, he said, "But grandpa didn't teach me how to use a knife."

"So?" The second elder brother asked, "Would you rather be like my brother, born with supernatural powers, but having such a hard time learning to read? Or would you rather Uncle Shen not teach you according to your aptitude, but force you to be his disciple, teach you the Dragon Slaying Sword Technique, and then after you learn it, you are not fit for it and cannot display the power of this sword technique, and be laughed at by others?"

He took a step forward and said, "You want to be as good at literature as me, and as good at martial arts as Tang Shichang? You want to be a disciple of a world-famous scholar, and a disciple of the world's number one hero?"

He laughed and said, "I want this kind of good thing, too. Who doesn't want it? But where in the world can such a good thing exist?"

Shen Zhuoli lost all his energy, lowered his head, and choked up as he said, "I'm sorry."

Just because the child did not get angry at this moment, but apologized out of shame, the second brother felt that the child was not a bad person by nature.

He just tried a little too hard, was very competitive, and tried so hard to be the best and to be recognized by everyone that he seemed awkward.

Being too petty and not acting like a child makes people dislike you.

The second elder brother said, "You asked me before what I am good at. I have a slight talent for studying. I can remember everything I see and I can understand everything I hear. If we only consider this point, I am a genius."

Shen Zhuoli looked up in astonishment: "Really?"

"Yes," said the second brother, "but other than that, I am useless. I am not as good as you in both literature and martial arts."

He paused for a moment and said, "Think of it this way. If there is an opportunity to take away your talent for martial arts and the relationship between you and Uncle Shen in exchange for the opportunity to become my master, would you be willing?"

Shen Zhuoli said: "I don't want to."

"Yes," the second brother advised him gently, "This opportunity is a timely help for me, but it is just icing on the cake for you."

Shen Zhuoli was silent for a while, then suddenly took a step forward and said, "But...if you take away everything from me, and make me neither good at literature nor martial arts, and make me neither pretty nor cute, and in exchange for my grandfather being my real grandfather and for my grandfather loving me all his life, I am willing to make the change."

The second brother couldn't help but be surprised.
