The seller of the heavens

"etc."

The middle-aged shopkeeper hurriedly called Jiang Chen to stop again, after some haggling, he finally gave him one hundred and eighty taels.

Jiang Chen felt that the price was acceptable, and he didn't bother to talk anymore, so he took out a few pearls and handed them over:

"I still have a few here, help me see, how much is it worth?"

The shopkeeper was quite surprised when he heard the words, and after squinting his eyes slightly to look at Jiang Chen for a few times, he took the pearl.

These six pearls were finally sold at 862 taels.

Jiang Chen took the money and left satisfied.

Through this transaction, he clearly realized that the large pile of pearls he brought was no different from a huge treasure in this era, and he also had a little more confidence in what he was going to do next.

After Jiang Chen left, the man who cleaned the pawn shop came to the side of the middle-aged shopkeeper, and asked in a low voice:

"Shopkeeper, do you want to send someone to follow him?"

The current situation is chaotic these years, the local law and order is extremely poor, and killing people and stealing goods is a common occurrence.

The background of the pawn shop is complicated, if you really want to meet a fat sheep, you don't mind using a knife.

A few taels of silver can buy a life, let alone a big deal of thousands of taels.

The middle-aged shopkeeper raised his hand and slapped the shopkeeper on the head, scolding:

"After teaching you for so long, your eyesight still hasn't improved much. This person looks like he has been practiced. He has advanced kung fu. It's best not to provoke him if he can."

The guy covered his head and smiled embarrassingly:

"How can my eyes compare with your old man's? You have sharp eyes, and you can see the details of people at a glance."

The middle-aged shopkeeper proudly stroked his goatee and said with a smile:

"It's good to know, you still have something to learn."

...

Jiang Chen took the money, came to Deyang Inn, and asked for a room.

After dinner, he was in his room thinking about what to do next.

Rebellion is easy to say, but when he really wanted to do it, Jiang Chen suddenly felt helpless.

What he has to do is not to become a new dynasty again. If he wants to be an emperor, it will be simpler.

But what he has to do is to change the country from bottom to top, which cannot be accomplished by himself.

Jiang Chen is just a scumbag, and he definitely won't be able to come up with a complete plan in a short time.

Although I have read a lot of historical time travel articles, I probably know the steps of rebellion, attacking landlords, dividing fields, building troops and bases, and working hard to cultivate fields and improve technology.

But everything is difficult at the beginning, how to take the first step is both the most important and the biggest difficulty.

Jiang Chen silently flipped through the friends of military and local dual-purpose talents and the militia training manual, looking for ideas.

On the second day, Jiang Chen made a decision.

A rebellion must have a strong enough armed force, so as the first step, Jiang Chen planned to train a group of usable manpower first.

He decided to start with the martial arts gym, and in the name of opening a martial arts gym, he recruited a group of disciples and conducted military training first.

With the cover of the name of the martial arts school, it will not attract the attention of officials, and it has a strong concealment in the early stage.

If thousands of martial arts masters with strict laws and regulations and strict discipline can be trained as army soldiers, taking Yangcheng should not be a problem.

After all, he can only stay in this world for two years, and it is definitely impossible to overthrow the Qing court within two years.

Jiang Chen doesn't think that he is the savior who can save the entire nation by himself.

He is not that capable.

In Jiang Chen's view, he can only be a seed sower, planting a different seed in this era.

This seed is destined to grow into a towering tree in the future.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

...

At noon, when Jiang Chen was eating in the hotel lobby, he met Yan Zhendong.

After a day of buffering, Yan Zhendong's mood eased a lot, and he no longer had the depression and gloom he had just lost to Huang Feihong.

However, his face was still not very good-looking, with a straight face.

Jiang Chen raised his hand to invite:

"Brother Yan, come and eat together."

Yan Zhendong was not polite, and sat opposite Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen called the waiter and ordered a few more dishes.

Yan Zhendong poured a glass of wine, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he said with a wry smile:

"Brother Jiang laughed at what happened yesterday. I thought that no one in Foshan was my opponent, but I didn't expect that I couldn't deal with even Huang Feihong. I was the one watching the sky."

Jiang Chen comforted:

"Victory or defeat is a common thing. There is no reason to always be victorious and undefeated. Brother Yan doesn't have to be discouraged."

Yan Zhendong shook his head and didn't speak, obviously not so easy to let go.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen turned to ask:

"Brother Yan, do you still plan to open a martial arts gym?"

Yan Zhendong showed some hesitation, not knowing how to answer.

He originally wanted to open a martial arts gym after becoming the number one master in Foshan, but now that he has lost to Huang Feihong, he has no face to call himself the number one master in Foshan.

In his opinion, if he can't become the number one, opening a martial arts school to teach students will inevitably feel like misleading his children.

If after practicing Yan's martial arts, he can't beat the people of Baozhilin, why is there any need to practice, why not simply worship Huang Feihong as his teacher.

Because of failure, Yan Zhendong got into a dead end.

Jiang Chen said: "It seems that Brother Yan doesn't have to open a martial arts gym by himself?"

Yan Zhendong nodded, and after recovering, he glanced at Jiang Chen and said:

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, without beating around the bush."

He wasn't a fledgling rookie either, and seeing that Jiang Chen might have some purpose in looking for him, he didn't bother to go around the bush, so he simply opened up and asked questions directly.

Jiang Chen didn't answer and said:

"I don't know what brother Yan thinks about the current situation?"

Yan Zhendong didn't expect Jiang Chen to ask this. While being surprised, he felt a little wary, and said:

"I don't have any opinions. It doesn't matter to me what the situation outside is like. I'm just a warrior. It's enough to live my life well."

Jiang Chen saw that Yan Zhendong didn't want to talk about such a sensitive topic, obviously he had some scruples, so he smiled and said:

"Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current situation is chaotic, domestic civil uprisings continue, Western powers and neighboring countries are watching, and the situation is already at stake.

When the Qing court fought with foreigners, they lost every time they fought, and they had to cede land and pay compensation after each fight. "

"Foreigners and neighboring countries have long regarded the land of China as the fat of their mouths. Do you think they will easily let go of the meat?"

"There are no eggs under the nest. Once the war comes, whether you like it or not, you will be engulfed by the flood. Brother Yan, don't you think you can survive alone?"

"And with brother Yan's skills, don't you want to do something?"

Listening to Jiang Chen's analysis, Yan Zhendong's face became more and more serious. He glanced left and right, and saw that no one around him paid attention to Jiang Chen's words, so he relaxed a little, then stared at Jiang Chen, and asked in a deep voice :

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

Jiang Chen said calmly:

"I just want to plan ahead and form a force, hoping to have the ability to protect myself when danger comes in the future."
