This saying has been circulating since ancient times.
Shandong produces many prime ministers, Shanxi produces good generals, the northwest produces strong soldiers, and the southeast produces wealthy businessmen.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Shandong is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. Even a three-year-old baby can recite a few lines of the Analects of Confucius.
The reason why Shanxi produces good generals is simply because Shanxi is located on the northern border and has to fight with the nomads in the Northern Desert from time to time.
In such a living environment of life and death, blood and fire, even ordinary people who wield hoes have to think about buying two good knives and learn martial arts for self-defense.
The situation in Liangzhou in the northwest is similar to that of Shaanxi. Not only is it located in a severely cold place, it is also a place that has been baptized by war all year round.
I don’t know how many women became widows in Liangzhou.
I don’t know how many Liangzhou children have never seen their fathers from the moment they were born.
Therefore, the soldiers of Liangzhou have a fierce fighting spirit almost from their bones, and they are definitely born warriors.
As for the last wealthy businessman from the southeast, there is basically nothing to explain.
Along the southeastern coast, the weather is mild, and war and cholera are rare. People can have enough to eat, and naturally have the time to study how to make money.
And after being passed down from generation to generation, this pattern has basically been finalized.
Speaking of which, after Li Chengqian and Li Tingxue entered Jeju City.
Li Tingxue took him to a tavern in the city to rest.
Maybe it's because it's not time for dinner, or maybe it's because the tavern is too small.
Therefore, there are not many tables of customers in this tavern.
After Li Chengqian and Li Tingxue came in, they found a seat by the window and sat down.
After ordering some food with preserved fruits, Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what do you want to do when you brought me to Jeju?"
"Don't worry."
Li Tingxue looked at Li Chengqian, smiled sweetly and said, "It won't take long before you know."
Seeing her smile, Li Chengqian became even more suspicious.
He stretched his neck, approached Li Tingxue, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, could it be that you have found my brother-in-law again?"
Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue was immediately unhappy: "How dare you kid to make fun of your sister?"
She raised her palm and threatened, "If you dare to say one more nonsense, I will beat your mother until she doesn't even recognize you."
Seeing that she was about to take action, Li Chengqian sat back in his seat angrily.
Then, he felt uneasy and said depressedly: "Sister, since you are bringing me here to do something, you have to tell me what exactly it is..."
Before Li Tingxue could reply, he suddenly heard a burst of shouting coming from outside.
"Boy, give me a roasted chicken and a pound of mung beans."
Following the voice, a rough-looking man with a beard stepped in from outside.
Li Chengqian glanced at the man subconsciously.
The man also nodded politely to Li Chengqian.
Just when Li Chengqian was slightly distracted, Li Tingxue suddenly said: "Some time ago, a criminal thief appeared in Jeju City."
"And this guy seems to be different from those thieves who are prone to stealing and do all kinds of evil."
"He had his own rules when he burglarized each house, which was to only take three items."
"And this guy will use all the money he gets from selling stolen goods to buy rice and give it to the poor people."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He turned back to look at Li Tingxue and said, "Sister, I think this person is still a thief?"
Li Tingxue took a mouthful of vegetables, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it, and said slowly: "You can also say that."
"But no matter what, stealing is against the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was a little dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Could it be that she brought him all the way to Jeju City just to catch the thief?
Looking at his expression, Li Tingxue knew what this guy was thinking.
"Okay, let's get rid of this miserable expression."
"If it wasn't necessary, I wouldn't bother going so far."
Li Tingxue approached Li Chengqian and said, "There is a huge secret hidden in this so-called knight thief."
"The purpose of asking you to come with me this time is to dig out the secrets of this person."
Li Chengqian asked in confusion: "What secret?"
"Don't worry about this."
"Just help me from the side."
Li Tingxue raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with the hint of a successful plot.
Li Chengqian was also speechless about his sister's virtue.
But he didn't bother to think too much. Anyway, the truth would come out sooner or later.
Furthermore, from now on, at least I am not taking the blame for this matter.
Then there is no need for him to ask questions.
Anyway, whatever happened was planned by Li Tingxue.
Li Shimin wouldn't punish her after all, right?
That's when Li Chengqian's mind was filled with these thoughts.
Suddenly a few more people came in from outside.
After these guys came in, they walked straight towards the bearded man without saying anything.
When he got close to the bearded man.
One of them said directly: "Chai Jing, you are fine."
The man named Chai Jing looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Then, he chuckled and said, "Who do you think we are? It turns out that you puppies followed the smell and found us."
I heard him call himself a puppy.
The guy was not angry and chuckled: "Since we are all here, shouldn't it be time for you to hand over the things?"
"Something? What?"
Chai Jing glanced at the man again and said, "I'm eating now. If anything happens, we'll talk about it after we finish eating."
After that, he continued to compete with the roast chicken on the table.
Seeing this scene, the other party sat directly opposite him, saying nothing but looking at him quietly.
Chai Jing stopped, wiped his mouth and said, "What's wrong, you Tianma Gang like to watch people eat so much?"
"hehe."
The man sitting opposite him only chuckled, and then said: "Chai Jing, I have to remind you."
"If you hand over your things now, we can still live in peace with you."
"But if you don't pay, don't blame the brothers for attacking you."
Chai Jing tilted his head and said, "Ouyou? Shen Wang, you are so brave now. Do you dare to attack me?"
Shen Wang laughed indifferently: "Who do you think you are? Why don't I dare to attack you?"
"In that case, let's come..."
At this moment, Chai Jing's eyes narrowed.
The next moment, he kicked out, knocking over the table in front of him.
Before the other party could recover, Chai Jing struck out like lightning, punching straight towards Shen Wang's neck.
But Shen Wang is obviously not a vegetarian.
The moment Chai Jing stretched out his hand to attack his neck, he had already raised his leg and ran towards Chai Jing's lower abdomen.
In battle, whether it's a clash of swords or a fistfight, the principle of "one inch longer and one inch stronger" remains unchanged.
In the eyes of others, Chai Jing's fight with fists and feet was obviously a fool's behavior.
But in fact, Shen Wang's kick was dodged by Chai Jing.
His fist landed heavily on Shen Wang's face.
Li Chengqian, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Okay, good fight!"
But after saying this, he felt a little regretful.
Mom, I seem to be in trouble...
