"Being able to run requires physical strength, and being able to run requires endurance."
The villagers were confused. They all said they didn't understand anything about physical endurance. How could they understand this?
"Take your Uncle Zhou Cheng, for example." Zhang Rui casually pointed at a young man next to him and said.
"If an ordinary person can only run sixty miles, but you can run a hundred miles in one breath, it means you can run. But the next day after running, your feet will be weak and you can only lie in bed. This Just say that you can run, not that you know how to run. If you can continue to run a hundred miles tomorrow after finishing the run, then you can run. This is related to physical strength, endurance, rhythm balance, physical recovery, etc. "
Everyone still said they didn't understand. Zhang Rui wanted to explain more, but looking back, based on their understanding, no matter how much they said, they would probably be talking nonsense. I had to say to the villagers: You just need to know that what I need is someone who can run fast and far.
As soon as they heard what Zhang Rui said, everyone immediately understood, isn't it just about being a fast runner? This can also explain a great truth one by one, just like Mr. Wenquxing of the Yamen.
"Everyone will go and have a rest. If you are interested, you can apply for a formal assessment after three quarters in the afternoon (about four o'clock). The same is to lift stone locks and run. At the same time, if the assessment quota exceeds 50, there will be no more Check again."
It was noon at this time, nearly three hours before Shenshi. Zhang Rui sent everyone away and was thinking about going back to prepare the stone locks for the assessment. In fact, there are no martial arts practitioners in the entire village, and there are no professional stone locks. He was going to go to the town to see if he could get two dumbbells of about the same weight from the blacksmith in the town.
When Zhang Rui was about to leave, workers from the Li Mansion came over and stopped Zhang Rui. Tell him that the manager of the Li family's grain store has something to discuss with Zhang Rui and asks Zhang Rui to come over.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rui guessed that he had something to do with Li Hun's purchase of grain, so he went back with the worker from Li Mansion. I was worried about whether to follow Li Niushi and watched Zhang Rui's figure getting farther and farther away, so I followed him without thinking too much.
After Zhang Rui left, except for some people in the village who were still discussing with each other and digesting Zhang Rui's words under the shade of the trees, most of them went to talk to their wives and children about the matter. People in the neighboring villages all left one after another, rushing back to bring the good news to their relatives and friends. This is something we haven't encountered in decades, so we must work hard to seize the opportunity.
Gate of Li's Mansion
A middle-aged man in his thirties with a melon hat on his head, a dark green gown beside him, and a shrewd look in his eyes was walking slowly towards Zhang Rui. Someone may notice and ask, why does he wear a hat on a hot day? That's because the rat's tail on the head is really ugly and injurious to elegance, so most people who consider themselves elegant will cover it up with hats.
I saw him holding an abacus in his hand, bowing his head towards Zhang Rui and saying,
"You must be the sixth brother mentioned by Butler Li and Master Li!"
"I don't dare to take it seriously. Just call me Zhang Rui. I don't know how to call this uncle?" Zhang Rui also bowed and asked.
"In Xia Pang, the single name is Tong. It has the same name as Pang Tong in the Three Kingdoms, and he doesn't have the ability. Currently, Mr. Li is favoring him and is handling the grain business for him in his grain store." Pang Tong said while looking at Zhang Rui. The young man Li Hun mentioned had risen so suddenly that he actually frightened even a villain like Li Hun.
At the same time, Zhang Rui also looked at Pang Tong. Being able to be the owner of a grain store at the age of thirty showed that he had some abilities.
"It turns out it's shopkeeper Pang. I'm rude. I wonder what good news shopkeeper Pang has brought to me, Zhang Rui?"
"After listening to Butler Li's brief introduction, our Mr. Li Decai learned that Sixth Brother needed to buy a large amount of grain. So he ordered me to discuss with Sixth Brother to see if it would be appropriate. I wonder how much grain Sixth Brother is going to buy?" Pang Tong revealed at this time He had the look a businessman should have.
"If the price is right, I will ask for more. If the price is not right, just take a look!" If it was last night, Zhang Rui might have wandered into Haikou, but now he knows that money is not easy, so he decided to see the conditions. Only when you have money in hand can you be a master.
"Then it depends on how much Brother Six wants before I can give you a price."
"Then give me the price from your grain store!" Zhang Rui thought for a moment and said.
"Our store mainly has three staple foods: rice (rice), yellow millet (millet) and wheat. Currently, the only miscellaneous grains are soybeans. Brother Liu also knows that there is a drought this year, so the price of food has increased a lot. At present, each stone of chestnut rice is silver Two liang and three yuan per stone. Broken rice costs two liang and one yuan per stone, white rice costs two and a half yuan, and polished rice costs two and a half yuan. Wheat is slightly higher, costing four and a half yuan per stone. Soybeans are cheaper, and cost per stone. A stone only costs one or two and nine cents." Pang Tong read to Zhang Rui one by one.
"No corn?" Zhang Rui had some questions? Didn’t it mean that the Qing Dynasty’s abundant harvest of sweet potatoes and corn prevented this dynasty from being so turbulent?
"Corn?" Pang Tong didn't understand.
"Oh! It's just Baosu." Zhang Rui said in a different way.
"There are very few people sowing it, so there's no harvest," Pang Tong explained.
In fact, Guangxi and several surrounding provinces only began to plant corn and other crops on a large scale after the 32nd year of Qianlong's reign. So when Zhang Rui asked, Pang Tong could understand because he had a relatively broad knowledge.
"If I want everything, how much can you sell me?" Zhang Rui looked at Pang Tong and asked
"Do you have enough cars to pull away?"
Zhang Rui was a little surprised when he heard Pang Tong's words. Is there any difference?
"Just think I have it!"
"I can only sell you ten stones for each item at most. If there are more, the price will have to be increased." Pang Tong replied naturally without thinking, as if he had received an order in advance.
"What if there is no car to tow away? Will you deliver it?" Zhang Rui asked again
"If we deliver, we will sell you ten shi for each item at most, but you need to pay for the delivery fee, and the price will increase depending on the distance." Pang Tong swallowed, and then said naturally
"Sixth Brother also knows that Mr. Li and Sixth Brother are in the same village. There is Li's granary in the village, and there are nearly a thousand stones of grain stored in it."
"Master Li told me when he sent me here. If Sixth Brother buys too much, he won't be able to move it all at once. Our master said that he can lend you the granary for two months without charging rent, and the price of the grain will be reimbursed. It can be appropriately less.”
“By buying more, you mean how much?”
"At least three hundred stones or more."
Upon hearing what Pang Tong said, Zhang Rui understood. They were obviously thinking that I would definitely be killed by the bandits, and they wanted to take all the money from me before the bandits killed me. By then they had taken the money and I was killed. The grain is still in his granary, no less.
As expected, it is a white wolf's method with empty hands, and he is not afraid of being stretched to death.
