Learn a small skill every day and embark on a crazy life

Chapter 52: Being poor means being alone
Zhang Fengxian looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he said slowly, "As far as I know, the Queen Mother's birthday will be in nine days. The Queen will definitely invite several princes and important ministers to come to Beijing to celebrate. By then, the defense of the imperial capital will be empty. Why don't we..."

At this point, Zhang Feng paused deliberately and lowered his voice and said, "We should use the opponent's trick against us. We should send an elite force, disguised as a birthday celebration team, to sneak into the imperial capital, control the palace, and use the empress to control the princes."

"Wonderful!"

The burly general who had advocated a strong attack slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "As long as we control the empress, won't the defenders of the imperial capital be leaderless and at our mercy?"

Other generals also nodded in praise, believing that this plan was feasible.

Qin Wujie pondered for a moment and asked, "Sir, this plan is brilliant, but how can we bring an elite force into the heavily guarded imperial capital without anyone noticing?"

Zhang Feng smiled slightly and said confidently, "Don't worry, my Lord. I have already made arrangements..."

Then, Zhang Feng continued, "Moreover, we should take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we should send an elite force to sneak into the imperial capital secretly and wait for an opportunity to act. On the other hand, we should lead the army to capture the surrounding cities and cut off the imperial capital's food and supplies. Only by attacking from both inside and outside can we ensure victory."

"it is good!"

Qin Wujie's eyes lit up and he immediately clapped his hands in praise, "This is a brilliant plan. I'll do as you say, sir."

At night, the wind in the northern border became more and more violent, as if foreshadowing that a storm sweeping across the Dachuan Dynasty was about to come...

Fan Building, sixteenth floor.

This is the highest place in the entire Tianhuang City. Standing here, you can overlook the scenery of the entire city.

"Ding, today's sign-in is complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random skill: Do you believe in light?"

Note: Activate the skill to obtain a powerful flashlight. After pressing the switch, it can release pure white light to illuminate surrounding objects. The skill cooldown time is one day.

At first he thought that this skill could transform him into Ultraman and launch the Eight-Point Light Wheel Slash, but the result was just this?
Shen Qiu: “…”

It has been three days since he came back from the deep mountains and dense forests. In the past two days, Shen Qiu signed in and obtained two small skills, "Demon Transformation" and "Heaven and Earth Harmony".

After seeing that it turned out to be a skill for playing Go, Shen Qiu didn't take it too seriously. After all, he knew nothing about Go.

"Alas, I can't go back."

Shen Qiu sighed. After coming into this world, apart from feeling guilty towards his parents, there was nothing else he felt.

"Forget it, there's no point thinking about it."

Shaking his head, Shen Qiu put aside all the sad emotions, "Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. Since I've come to this world, I'll be buried here!"

"Dong dong dong..."

At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Shen Qiu's thoughts.

"My Lord, the wine and food you requested are ready."

Qingluan's respectful voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"come in."

Qingluan pushed the door open and walked in, followed by several graceful maids. They carried exquisite dishes and fine wine, walked lightly to the table, and placed the food and wine neatly.

"My Lord, please enjoy your meal."

Shen Qiu sat down at the table and looked at the delicacies from land and sea, and his mood improved a lot.

"Well, you guys can go down. You don't have to wait here."

"Yes, my lord." After Qingluan and others left, Shen Qiu started drinking by himself.

After a while, after eating and drinking, Shen Qiu wiped his mouth and began to think about business.

"This body is too weak now."

Shen Qiu pinched his thin arms and legs, and couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.

As a modern man, he knows very well that the body is the capital of revolution. Without a good body, how can one enjoy life to the fullest?

Shen Qiu immediately made a detailed exercise plan.

Of course, he would never do things like meditation, swordplay, or practicing martial arts. It was too tiring and did not suit his purpose of lying down.

Shen Qiu chose some easy and simple exercises, such as jogging and doing stretching, which can stretch the muscles and bones without being too tiring.

After formulating the exercise plan, Shen Qiu called a few maids and instructed them, "Go and tell the small vendors in the city that I plan to open a food street in the vacant land behind Fanlou. Let them set up stalls there and get their goods from Fanlou. The rent is free and the profits are split 50-50."

Although the maids were a little confused, they still obeyed the order respectfully and left.

The reason why Shen Qiu did this was, on the one hand, because he found that since the opening of Fanlou, not only the restaurants in the city, but also the business of small vendors had been greatly affected. He did not want to become the target of public criticism, nor did he want to dominate the market alone.

On the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to create a more prosperous commercial district to attract more traffic. In this way, his Fanlou business would get better and better. After all, happiness is better shared with others than to be enjoyed alone.

It is equivalent to letting them be agents and splitting the profits 50-50, so no one loses out.

In addition to the food street, Shen Qiu also plans to do some charity work.

He found twelve guards, and then prepared to use eight deep stainless steel pots to exchange for several hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes and rice, and cook the fragrant sweet potato porridge in the open space behind Fanlou.

"Go, call all the beggars in the dilapidated temple outside the city. I will treat them to porridge today."

Shen Qiu waved his hand and spoke with great heroic spirit.

Although the guards were a little confused, they still followed the order and left.

Soon, a large group of ragged beggars poured into the open space behind Fanlou. They stretched their necks and stared at the steaming pots, their saliva almost dripping out.

"Everyone, don't worry, we have everything, we have everything!"

Shen Qiu said in a low voice, and the guard beside him held a big spoon and served porridge to them one by one with a kind smile on his face.

These beggars had never seen such a scene before. They were so excited that tears filled their eyes and they thanked Shen Qiuqian profusely.

Shen Qiu looked at them wolfing down the food, and suddenly a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He thought of himself and the difficult time he had gone through when he first came into this world. At that time, he was penniless, hungry and cold. It was a very difficult time for him.

Shen Qiu doesn't consider himself a good person, but since he has the ability to help those in need, he is still happy to do so.

At this moment, an old man in ragged clothes walked tremblingly to Shen Qiu, fell to his knees with a plop, and said with tears in his eyes: "My benefactor, you are really the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva! I have no way to repay your great kindness..."

Shen Qiu was most afraid of this kind of scene, so he quickly stepped forward to help, "Old man, please get up quickly, this is just a small matter, it's not worth mentioning."

"Come on, come on, everyone should eat and drink enough before the serious matter comes."

As Shen Qiu spoke, he called on the guards to continue serving the porridge.
