After hoarding billions of goods and traveling through the book, he farmed in another world to suppo
Chapter 28: Please a Few Men
Although Bao Ge'er is very sensible, he is still young after all and is easy to fool.
With Xiao Li's deliberate arrangement, they went to a restaurant and had a sumptuous breakfast.
He finished most of them. The little guy had a small appetite and was full in a short while. He leaned his head on the table with his hands, looking worried.
It’s just that his little face is chubby, which makes him look particularly cute.
Xiao Li found it funny, "Why are you so sad at such a young age? What will you do if you can't find a man to go home with?"
Baoger didn't know what it meant to ask a man to come home. Hearing this, he wrinkled his nose and refuted him shamelessly.
"Bao'er won't be unable to find a man to take home! Bao'er can! Bao'er can find multiple men to take home, and then I'll give one to grandpa, grandma, daddy, and little daddy!" The little guy looked at him and snorted, "I won't give a man to fourth brother!"
"Pfft~" The people at the next table burst into laughter.
Xiao Li glanced at the person next to him, and the other person quickly explained that he had no ill intentions. Only then did he look away and look at Bao Ge'er again.
Under the little guy's gaze that seemed both proud and nervous and expectant, he raised his eyebrows and said "ah" meaningfully.
"Our Bao'er is so filial."
"Bao'er won't share a man with Fourth Brother!"
Seeing that he was not angry, the little guy deliberately emphasized it again.
Xiao Li nodded with a half-smile, "Got it. Keep it up. Fourth Brother is very satisfied with this."
Bao Ge'er: ???
The little guy stared at him with wide eyes, not understanding why he was not unhappy at all.
There are so many men, but he didn't give any of them to the fourth brother. How can the fourth brother still say that he is satisfied?
Can Xiao Li explain to him?
That's definitely not possible. If children don't use it to play, it won't be fun when they grow up.
So it’s time to start playing with your children early.
After he had enough of the little guy's depressed look, he called the waiter to settle the bill.
This breakfast cost more than one or two taels of silver, which can be said to be extravagant.
Although Baoger had no concept of money, he knew that one tael of silver was enough to buy a lot of food for his family.
Looking at the silver that the waiter took away, the little guy's face was almost wrinkled with heartache.
Seeing that he was about to reach out to Erkang, Xiao Li picked him up and teased him with a smile.
"What should we do? Fourth Brother has no money left? We have to walk back. Is Bao'er afraid?"
Bao Ge'er's attention was instantly drawn back. His eyes widened for a moment, but he quickly put what had just happened behind him and hugged his neck to comfort him.
"Don't be afraid, Fourth Brother, don't be afraid. Baoer can walk on his own!"
As he said this, he was about to struggle to get down to the ground. There were people coming and going, and there were more human traffickers in this world than in later generations. How could Xiao Li dare to let him go? He quickly hugged the man tightly.
"Fourth brother, you're just kidding. There's also money. We don't have to walk back, and we can buy a lot of things to bring back."
"really?"
"real."
"Wow~"
I have to say, children are so easy to deceive!
Since you're not angry with him even after such a funny thing, it's no wonder he likes to tease children.
Looking at the little guy's delicate and delicate face and eyes full of admiration, Xiao Li felt a rare sense of guilt.
Not much, just a little.
"Let's go shopping and let Bao'er choose, okay?"
"Baoer picks!"
When Xiao Li told him to choose, he really let him choose.
Taking advantage of his young age and inexperience, the shop owners, seeing that he was the one who had the final say, all tricked him into buying the most expensive items.
Baoger was not so easily fooled and subconsciously looked at Xiao Li.
If Xiao Li nodded, he would say he would buy it generously. If Xiao Li shook his head, he would not want it even if the shopkeeper said anything.
Gradually, the shopkeepers realized that the one who was in charge was the handsome scholar holding the baby.
In the end, they bought too many things to carry, so they just hired an ox cart to go back to the village.
Xiao Shugen and Li Jinhua didn't say anything when they saw that the two brothers bought so many things.
After all, they knew that Xiao Li was extravagant, but they also knew that Xiao Li was very capable and that he made money much faster than he spent it.
As for Xiao Lao San, he is definitely a slave. How could he bear to mention Bao Ge'er? He even couldn't bear to mention Xiao Li.
Only Lin Cao, seeing how Xiao Li spoiled Baoger to no end, wanted to teach Baoger a lesson, but before he could open his mouth, he was stopped one after another.
"My dear Third Brother, our family will be getting better and better. If the child likes it, let him buy it!" Li Jinhua glanced at Xiao Third Brother and motioned him to persuade him quickly.
Xiao Lao San could only smile and persuade: "Brother Cao, the purchase has already been made. There's no point in you teaching Bao Er a lesson! Why don't you just forget it?"
Lin Cao glanced at Bao Ge'er, who was curled up in Xiao Li's arms, feeling distressed and helpless. "Li'er will have to spend a lot of money to get into higher education. Even if life is easy now, we can't spoil him. Otherwise, who can afford to support a little brother who spends money lavishly in the future?"
In this family, he and Bao Ge'er are the only brothers, and he knows best how difficult life is for brothers in this world.
He was relatively lucky. Although the Xiao family was a little poor, they never treated him harshly and ensured that he had enough food and clothing.
But in today's world, many girls are treated like slaves by their husband's family after they get married.
It's fine if you can give birth to a man to carry on the family line, but if you can't, you don't know how much contempt and abuse you will have to endure from your husband's family.
Just from what he had seen, he didn't know how many such things there were.
The world is like this, he can't help his own child, he can only let him be more sensible from a young age, and please his husband's family when he goes to live with him.
Baoger's eyes turned red with tears in them, and he admitted his mistake in a pitiful voice: "Little daddy, Baoer was wrong." La!
Xiao Li covered his little mouth and smiled at him, "Bao'er is right."
Baoger blinked and looked at him confusedly.
Xiao Li didn't ask him if he remembered it. He let go of his hand and turned to look at Lin Cao. "Third Uncle, can you listen to me for a few words?"
Lin Cao naturally wouldn't refuse, and nodded, "Li'er, you say."
"This world is always unfair to me. If I go to someone else's house, let me put it bluntly. Even if my brother gets beaten to death in his husband's family after getting married, it will be useless for his parents to come to his house.
If you marry close to your parents' home, they may be able to take care of you a little, but if you marry far away, your parents will have no idea how you are being abused.
So when Baoer grows up, I don’t want him to get married. Whether he likes a boy or a girl, I will find one for him.
Even if he likes a boy in the future, as long as he is happy, we can marry him a boy, so what?"
It's not that boys can't marry and have children, but there are few girls willing to marry boys. In addition, boys mostly marry men. Over time, it is tacitly accepted that boys are the ones who marry people rather than wives.
In the eyes of the world, it is not the right thing for a brother to marry a wife, let alone a brother marrying another brother?
Now, after hearing what he said, the others were stunned and could not speak for a long time.
Baoger didn't want to cry anymore. He nodded and agreed with Xiao Li's words seriously.
"Bao'er wants to find men! Lots of them!"
Xiao Shugen: “…”
Li Jinhua: “…”
Lin Cao: “…”
Xiao Lao San: "!!!"
Xiao Li looked at him with amusement, "Do you still remember what Fourth Brother said during the day?"
"Remember!" Bao Ge'er puffed out his chest proudly and shared generously, "Give some men to grandpa, grandma, daddy, and little daddy, but not to fourth brother!"
Everyone's mouth twitched fiercely, and their expressions were complicated.
"Bao'er, you should keep this man for yourself! Grandpa doesn't want him anymore!"
"Neither does grandma."
"You don't want your daddy or your little daddy either. Bao'er, you, you, you should find a man."
Faced with everyone's rejection, the little guy was a little unhappy. He was originally facing them, but he snorted angrily and lay on Xiao Li's shoulder.
"I won't give you any more treasures! I'll keep them for myself! I won't share any of them with you!"
The old couple couldn't help laughing, and Xiao Laosan, the son-slave, accepted this matter without any bottom line.
Lin Cao seemed to want to say something but hesitated. He opened his mouth several times but didn't know what to say.
But the adults in the family indulged him and showed no sign of correcting his wrong ideas.
Xiao Li was the worst among them.
"Our Bao'er is ambitious. She will definitely be able to please a few men to serve her in the future. Then our Bao'er will have everything she wants and live comfortably every day."
Lin Cao: “…” I’m afraid there’s really no hope.
The old couple looked at each other, smiled and said nothing, but they didn't take it seriously.
Xiao Laosan can only nod now.
Since no one said anything, Baoger didn't think he was wrong. He held his chin high and his voice broke with joy.
"Baoerzhui is amazing!"
Xiao Li nodded, "Yes."
Under his deliberate indulgence, Baoger's thoughts became increasingly crooked, and Lin Cao often tried to save him but failed.
The next morning, Xiao Li went to the county alone. As soon as he arrived at the bookstore, Shen Congzhou pulled him to the backyard.
Even though he was knowledgeable and experienced, Shen Congzhou couldn't help but feel excited when he achieved great success in his first business venture.
After he sat down, Shen Congzhou poured him tea and reported to him the great success of the Journey to the West novel yesterday.
"Sir, more than half of the two thousand regular copies have been sold, over a hundred hardcover copies have been sold, and half of the remaining cheap copies have also been sold. Do you think we should print more regular copies?"
Xiao Li thought about all this, took a sip of tea, and nodded, "Only print the regular version, the other two will not be used."
"Why?" Shen Congzhou was puzzled.
“The market is saturated.”
“Market saturation?”
Xiao Li glanced at him and didn't give him a perfunctory answer. Instead, he explained it to him in detail.
"Nan'an County is so small that only the wealthy and the idle can buy vernacular novels. Occasionally, there are some poor scholars or ordinary people who can read and write who come to buy them, but they are ultimately a minority.
This is the market in Nan'an County.
For the next period of time, all we need to do is keep the booksellers stocked. When no one buys the first volume of Journey to the West, we can put the second volume on the market.
However, the market in Nan'an County is so small. If you want to grow bigger and stronger, it is useless to just focus on this small piece of land. You have to take a long-term view.
There's a wharf in Nan'an County, and aren't merchant ships often docked in the northern district? Attracting those merchants isn't difficult. Like I taught you before, find someone to spread the word about the popularity of Journey to the West. Those with good vision will find you.
They will take the Journey to the West storybook to other counties, prefectures, and states. I believe that sooner or later, the Journey to the West storybook will spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Similarly, the name of China will spread throughout here.
He doesn't like the end of the world, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like his country. Otherwise, he wouldn't have repeatedly helped his elder brother when his elder brother was the commander-in-chief.
I think my body is probably cold over there, so it’s probably not possible to go back.
He couldn't turn this place into a country he was familiar with, but he believed that he could make familiar books and things appear here.
After hearing his words, Shen Congzhou fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked at him with admiration, "Young Master, it's a waste of your talent to stay in this small Nan'an County."
Xiao Li shook his head and said nothing.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with this place. If there hadn't been a famine in three years according to the plot, he would have wanted to stay here for a long time.
As long as the world is stable, it will not be difficult for him to protect his family with his abilities.
The fear is that disaster will come as in the drama. It is not surprising that people become extremely cruel and vicious when they are in extreme difficulties.
If the space could bring people in, he could...
Wait, now he really doesn’t know if this is possible.
Ever since he discovered that his body could enter the space, he had never tried to bring living things into the space. He had thought about it before, but forgot.
He will try it when he has the chance. He doesn't plan to bring anyone into the space until the very end.
This not only concerns the biggest secret of his two lives, but also because he doesn't know if there will be any problems if other people go in. After all, there are certain differences between living things and humans.
The best thing would be to use humans for the experiment, but just in case, he would have to kill them afterwards even if they were innocent, so the people had to be chosen carefully.
To be honest, Xiao Li actually wanted to experiment on the heroine, but he was afraid that the heroine's aura was too strong, and that she might not die and escape successfully in the end, which would be very unfriendly to him.
Shen Congzhou reported to him the changes in the Xiao residence again, and finally looked at him hesitantly, looking very conflicted.
Xiao Li actually doesn't like trouble very much, otherwise he wouldn't have sold his shares directly to his eldest brother before the end of the world.
Seeing Shen Congzhou like this, he tapped the table with his finger and said coldly: "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Yes, sir." Shen Congzhou bowed respectfully to him, then lowered his head to look at his leg, "I want to ask, how long will it take for my leg to recover?"
Ever since he took the medicine, he hadn't felt any improvement in his legs for a long time, and he didn't know if it was just his illusion.
If he hadn't mentioned it, Xiao Li would have almost forgotten about it. He calmly took out an oil-paper bag and handed it to him, "Just finish these medicines."
As he spoke, he activated his healing ability and began to input power into Shen Congzhou's legs.
Shen Congzhou said with gratitude, "Thank you, sir."
Xiao Li could feel that he was indeed convinced of himself, but...
While the other party was eating the candy pill, he quietly activated his psychic powers.
Not long after Shen Congzhou swallowed the medicine, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. Just as he frowned, he heard Xiao Li calling him.
"What do you want to tell me, sir?"
Xiao Li took a sip of tea, not feeling guilty at all for having done something wrong. "It's okay. I just wanted to say that you've been working hard lately, so I'll withdraw fifty taels from the account as your bonus this month."
Shen Congzhou was stunned for a moment, "Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome, you deserve it."
The spiritual compensation was not enough.
