casket of old days

Chapter 101 Doing Textile Business Together
Chu Qiguang flipped through the "Sumi Mountain King Sutra" upside down. Except for the portrait in the front, all the paintings on the back of this sutra are handprints and a kind of medicine called fire pill.

Also seeing this kind of portrait and receiving the thoughts, Chu Qiguang knew what herbs and methods were needed to refine the fire pills in the scriptures, and also knew the breathing and thoughts that needed to be coordinated to make those handprints.

These things can be viewed at will, and will not cause mutations.

According to Qiao Zhi, the "Mountain Sumeru Movement" among the Four Wonders of Zhenmasi comes from the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" in King Kong Temple.

It's a pity that Zhenmensi missed the fire pill and the handprint, among which the medicine pill can greatly enhance the heat resistance of the practitioner, and the handprint can help the practitioner strengthen his heart.

Therefore, among the Zhenmagic Division, the practitioners who entered the Tao and rectify the Dharma have never reached the state of consummation.

Chu Qiguang recorded the medicinal materials and refining methods needed for the fire pill, then lifted a brick under the bed, and then stuffed the "Sumi Mountain King Sutra" into it and hid it.

In addition to this scripture, there are also 5 Yiqi pills and Liger Huangu Paste taken from Ding Daoxiao, which can be eaten by Chu Qiguang in the fourth state.

Next, he went to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials, and found that the medicinal materials for refining this fire pill were not precious, and he could buy one pair for about five renminbi, so he planned to buy a hundred pairs at a stretch of 50 taels of silver. The 1 taels of silver he received from Wu Wei after ransacking his home was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Because I asked for too much at one go and was in a hurry, the pharmacy still couldn't get the portion of some medicinal materials, so I had to write a receipt for Chu Qiguang and ask him to pick it up in a few days.

Then Chu Qiguang went to the Taoist temple again. After all, the fastest way for him to improve the realm of martial arts now is to take drugs.

Entering the backyard of the Taoist temple, he first went to say hello to Taoist Fayuan.

"Daoist Fa Yuan, long time no see." Chu Qiguang greeted Fa Yuan with a smile, and put five taels of silver in his hand.

Although Fa Yuan sent a sum of money along with the house raid this time, he was still very happy to receive the five taels of silver from Chu Qiguang. In his opinion, it was not just silver, but also Chu Qiguang's respect for him and respect for Dao Zun. piety.

Daoist Fayuan: "Come to see the abbot?"

Chu Qiguang didn't see him and said, "I ordered the elixir with the abbot last time."

After the two chatted casually, Chu Qiguang said hello and was going to see Abbot Chenzhu.

Taoist Fayuan looked at Chu Qiguang's back with some emotion: "This kid is really good at messing around. When I first saw him, a head catcher in the yamen could punish him. Now he has partnered with the abbot. If you have a relationship, don't forget to give me money."

Daotong on the side said unconvinced: "It's also because of his luck that he got connected with the Wu family, and Mr. Wu Ge just happened to become the chief assistant."

"You don't understand." Daoist Fa Yuan shook his head, squeezed the five taels of silver in his hand and said, "A person like Chu Qiguang can share meat with everyone...he deserves it."

……

Chu Qiguang on the other side exchanged pleasantries after seeing the abbot.

The abbot pulled Chu Qiguang to sit down, and asked anxiously, "Tell me more about the indulgence you told me about last time?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Indulgence coupons are just a title, how much do the common people add up to? Even if they are squeezed to death, they won't be able to squeeze out much, and it will make people's livelihood difficult and give the cult a chance to take advantage of it."

Host Chen Zhu nodded, and immediately felt a little embarrassed. After all, those Taoist priests under him like to grab the wool of the common people the most, and this has indeed given many cults an opportunity to take advantage of.

Chu Qiguang said: "The indulgence coupons are prepared for the rich people in this county. Who of these people has not done anything wrong? Let them buy the coupons and go back to redeem their sins. After a year, they can use the coupons to exchange for more money." Money, the key is to gather money to do big things.”

Chen Zhu nodded thoughtfully: "This is a bit like a silver shop. People put money in, but the silver shop also charges storage fees. Instead, we have to pay them back the money and give them interest?"

Chu Qiguang said: "The more money you have, the bigger the business you can do, and the more money you can earn. At that time, the interest given to them is just a little bit of profit, which not only blocks their mouths, but also allows them to invest more in the future." More money."

Chen Zhu said: "What kind of business can you do? Could it be to buy land?"

Chu Qiguang thought to himself, Good question.

He smiled and said immediately: "Nowadays, the imperial court and the north are going to trade each other. The north is bitterly cold, and the goods that are most needed are textiles. The silk and cotton cloth in the south of the Yangtze River are indeed of good quality, but if they are transported all the way from the south to the north, the price will at least double.

It is not easy to raise silkworms in the north because of the climate, so it is impossible to make silk.

But if we make cotton cloth locally in Qingyang County, the border town is so close, it doesn't matter how good the quality is, we can beat them in terms of price. "

Then he said with a face of shame: "But if you do this, you will have to do business with the monsters in the north. Whenever I think of this, I feel guilty, and I wish I could pray in front of Dao Zun for three days."

Faced with Chu Qiguang's temptation, the abbot of Chenzhu said in awe-inspiring way: "After the peace talks and the mutual market, the people in the north will no longer have to face the destruction of those northern monsters. This is a good thing for the country and the people. Although I can't wait to swing my sword north , Slay demons and eliminate demons, but you can't implicate the people for your own selfishness.

Dao Zun said that everything should be done according to one's ability, we are earning money from those monsters now, and we are also saving strength for killing monsters and demons in the future, brother Chu, you don't have to worry about it. "

Hearing this, Chu Qiguang understood clearly, nodded and said, "Abbot, your awareness is still high, I'm confused."

"Speaking of which, Ding's family originally operated cotton, spinning, and weaving industries, and we in Qingyang County also have a lot of female workers who weave their own."

"As long as we take over the Ding family's original textile business, and then invest money and hire people to expand the scale, once the mutual market opens, the supply of cotton cloth will definitely exceed the demand..."

"At that time, when we earn silver, we will first give the interest to those wealthy households. Then we will make new indulgences. At that time, we will definitely be able to borrow more silver, expand production, and sell more cotton cloth..."

"Nowadays, these tyrants in Qingyang County have made a fortune from the ransacking of their homes. It is a time when there is too much money and nowhere to spend it. It is too easy to find them to do business..."

Abbot Chenzhu listened to Chu Qiguang's whistling, he had seen too many ghosts, ghosts, love and hatred, all kinds of nonsense, but when he heard about making money, he could talk so well, the more he listened to it, the more excited he was Surging: "Then what shall we do next?"

Chu Qiguang said: "I will go to the Wu family, and we will take down the Ding family's cotton fields and textile shops together, so that there will be someone on the official side to take care of them, so that the caravan will not be afraid of being taxed and bankrupt. That's right... ...I also want to find a few craftsmen and study the loom."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Zhu immediately expressed his support, and at the same time reminded: "Brother Qi Guang, this is a trivial matter, I will call someone to look for it right away...but you have to be careful."

Immediately, Chen Zhu revealed the news that Chu Qiguang's name had emerged in the capital, and told him more inside information, telling him to be more careful, because he had already been targeted by many people.
