Li-Ban's Life (End)

Wow, you matured! From a yellow-eared duckling turned into a formidable eagle! Dara Grinning at the top of his mouth and showing his white as pearls, nevertheless, his eyes expressed concern, anxiety.

Dara did not think that nine years would change Li-Bang, romance. naive, ambitious, desiring fame and honor.

In his eyes, Dara read fatigue, disappointment, desire for nothing but peace. This is not what Sir Pei was counting on!

Although, of course, a person is often mistaken and does not know what will happen to him in a minute, how can he calculate what will happen to a person in 9 years?

But maybe in 1 year, everything will change? And the eagle turns into a tiger? Or maybe a dragon? 1 year can significantly change a person's views!

It all depends on the new information received by him, new experience, it changes ideas about the world, its place in the world, it changes both nature and plans and makes a person completely different!

Li Ban. I recognized you right away, old scoundrel! What do you need? Want to sell me again?

Dara Well, why are you like that? He himself made such a decision! And now he backed away?

Li Ban. Joke. Well, come on, why did you come?

Dara Everything is simple. Your relatives now live in my city, in the fortress "Light" in the mountains "Light". All of yours are from LI's surname, everyone moved to us to the Principality of Small-An.

Li Ban. I did not know! Letters have not come to me for 5 years! Only a year ago a letter came from my uncle, he says that the emperor seems to have forgotten about my services and deleted my name from the list for passing state exams. Uncle said that I should not count on his help and patronage.

Dara It was to be expected! In 1 year, everything can change! Not to mention 9 years! There are new young people there, there are not enough places for everyone. Did you learn a lot of new things ?! But also forgot the old one!

Intrigues make the Emperor. Conspiracies, new names, new clans, new influence groups. Sir Pay is not easy either. Many other, young and promising nephews and nieces.

Li Ban. What am I supposed to do? Remain the captain of the forts? Write a translation request? Write an application for entry to Chengnan? To ask an audience with the emperor?

Dara Do not be an idiot?! I thought you were already a veteran, that life taught you a lot, and you? Even though life beat you, but how were you a naive fool, did you stay that way ?! On the other hand, I always liked it in you! You will not betray!

Li Ban. Like that, I'm an idiot? That is, it's easy to fool me and easy to read, what's on my mind?

Dara No, all the same, you got a little smarter, and you've become sharper on the tongue! All the better!

Li Ban. What is it about?

Dara Throw your yard, Changan, there are now cool intrigues going on, you just use it if you come. I think as your dad said: Grab it, you bad one and take it to our house. Do not fuck him in the empire. Trade is better than politics. Especially in troubled times.

Li Ban. So dad said so?

Dara Well, your dad, more cultural, but the meaning was that.

Li Ban. And what should I do now?

Dara After a year you write a letter to your uncle, you say that you do not want to return to the empire. You got a mole wound, you want to enjoy peace. And that you will be engaged in trade. Tell me, will you live with Dar, the jack of all trades!

Li Ban. What will I do?

Dara Well now you are trained in the craft, you know how the world works. You will be the sales representative of Sir Pay in Small Ahn. You will open a trading house, you will sell goods from the Tan Empire, the Kingdom of the Ryukyu and the Kodai Empire through us to the Boss Empire and further to the Western barbarians in Rome.

Li Ban. Well, what a good thing! Can I take my warriors, not all, of course, the most trusted?

Dara Of course, this will be your new home now!

Li-ban just smiled. It seems to him that luck smiled again. He did not want to be involved in new intrigues, to fight for power, to become someone's puppet. And uncle is also a good goose, emperor ... well, Lee-Ban didn't want to talk about him at all.

For 9 years in the desert, his views on the empire have changed. He has seen everyone. Therefore, he did not want to return. Yes, and he has already lost the habit of society.

A year has passed.

Having given pardon to the emperor through his uncle, Li-Ban received permission to leave the post, one of the three forts was left, the other two were disbanded, they remained empty just in case.

The unit was transferred to the first fort and it consisted of 450 soldiers, 300 soldiers were allowed to take Li-Banu, and 250 soldiers were sent back to Chan'an.

Another 10 years have passed.

The LI family became very rich and successful, she returned to her native Sichuan.

Time has passed, centuries, millennia.

The 21st century has come. A descendant of Li-Bang returned to Small-Ahn, his name was Fang. And the descendant of Dara was the grandson of Firuza the Sage, his name was also Dara. A certain taxi driver and veteran of the secret police, Baraz, was a descendant of the cunning Daresh.

But this can be found in another novel, The Magic Farmer of the Gift.

Two coins were lost in the capital of Small Ahn, somewhere on the field. Since Li-Ban, I realized that the activation of his superpowers depends not so much on coins, but on the ability to set the right mood.

Mental consciousness was able to activate the hidden abilities that were laid in the genes of people.

In antiquity, instincts allowed a person to survive. It's better to hear, to run faster, to bear the weight, to better understand the world, nature, animals. Read the weather through the clouds and the behavior of fish, birds, reptiles, animals, insects, plants.

Be able to communicate with different tribes in different languages. All these abilities could still be enhanced if a person knew how to develop them. There were three ways:

1 way - eating berries, roots, fruits, plants and their combination with others (later called alchemy and folk medicine). This path made it possible to raise their abilities to 30 percent of the possible.

2 - the way is the training of the body, the study of martial arts, knowledge of the philosophy of these arts (later it would be called the cultivation of forces, it allowed raising the level of abilities by 45 percent.

3 - the path - mental improvement (later it was called Zen practice) - a person could raise his level to 80 percent.

Only a combination of all three levels could bring to the peak and double the power of instincts to 160 percent of the possible.

There were other ways that could increase the characteristics of the superpower level. One of which Li-Ban was able to comprehend was the use of wonderful mud, it could be eaten (Li-Ban did not know that this place was where a meteorite fell with microbes that strengthened human capabilities), they allowed increasing strength to 500 percent.

There were probably other methods, but Li-Ban did not know the teachers, did not know how to improve this and did not want information leakage. He rarely showed his superpowers, but as they say aptly. Thanks to this, the entire genus LI flourished for all 1,500 years. True, his descendants have already lost the opportunity to receive 500 percent strength, but they could raise it to 49 percent.

Of all the techniques, over the course of 1500 years, the Li family retained only knowledge of Alchemy and slightly improved the treatises that Li-Ban got with knowledge of modern pharmaceuticals.

In Chengdu, starting in 1992, the family opened BioActive Supplement firms, which allowed them to increase the efficiency of human brain activity by 4 percent. Such supplements are in demand among students and graduate students in China, South Korea, and Japan.

In 1997, the Li family opened a network of dining rooms with Sichuan cuisine, using only berries they knew, they allowed increasing the cure of a person from SARS viruses by 30 percent!

And in 2002, they were able to open a candy factory, producing exotic sweets with insects and plants, this was the knowledge of Tibetan medicine, they allowed people to cure difficult diseases.

In particular, using - "Blue leaves and roots of chicory, moss Parmelia" was treated for pneumonia and bronchitis.

Fang, being in the steppe, fell in love with the mare's milk, in ancient times he learned that they were treating consumption. Fresh air, environmentally friendly products, gave strength to man.

It was then that Fang wanted to cultivate and sell organic products in Chengdu. Later, he met Dara from Small-An and they jointly began to develop this agribusiness.

In Small Ahn, there were ecologically clean lands, and in China, there was money and people who craved ecologically clean products and, most importantly, they could afford it. But that's another story.

So this story about Jiang Magic Coin ended.

---

In theory, the author planned to write 100 chapters, there were many different ideas. However, apparently the author is not very good, was able to reflect this in a text block. Therefore, the number of views was only 23.4 thousand and collections 19. As I noted on the forum, a colleague, the author, that I write this novel only for myself. Partly he was right. I wanted to write an interesting story about the Silk Road. Probably I did not really succeed. It's a pity. And the second goal I wanted to popularize the topic of the Silk Road. She deserves a novel about traders, robbers, politicians, intrigues, conspiracies, secret police, spies, the exchange of technology, recipes, weapons, glass, new skills. Alas ... it didn't work out.

Well, there is always a second attempt, you can try to rewrite this novel or write a continuation of it. I should think.

In the meantime, I am completing this novel.

Thanks to my readers for being with me and reading my novel.

Plans? I want to complete another novel, and start writing a small novel with 100 chapters about cooking and a gourmet who can travel to the past. I'll start writing tomorrow and I will probably publish in April or May.

Thanks!

Li-ban lived for 230 years. They used to say people lived longer. The ecological environment was cleaner!

He left the near world to the far.

He had a big family - two wives, as was usual in those days, kids smart and smart. The Lee-Ban clan did not sink into eternity but successfully survived the 21st century. Having founded the whole LI corporation in Chengdu, which was famous and revered by all. They also made gadgets, but that's another story.

Next to him were his friends from Small-An, the cunning Dara and the thief Daresh, who later embarked on a cultivation path and abandoned his addiction.

This ends this story.

The end was not what the author intended. But now it's clear to me as an author why the novels that were interesting at the beginning sometimes have a very banal and not strong end.

Time, lack of demand, desire to start something new, so quick and poorly thought-out endings are used. Now, as a reader, I will be less categorical about the authors of the pros, they are also likely to encounter such situations.
