I just want to make money

Chapter 225

As the cultivation progressed, Lin Yi discovered a problem. The true energy cultivated by Taoists can be called innate qi, while the inner qi cultivated by martial arts practitioners can be called acquired qi, but in terms of fighting strength, Inner Qi is no worse than True Yuan.

to this end,

Lin Yi deliberately asked Gongsun Sheng to compare.

Gongsun Sheng has already achieved a small achievement in cultivation, but in front of Lin Yi, he was defeated after three or five moves, which made Gongsun Sheng feel aggrieved.

"I said no, you insist on dragging me to compete, you just want to humiliate me." Gongsun Sheng shouted angrily, forgetting Lin Yi's identity.

"I asked someone to find two pieces of high-quality Thunderbolt jujube and give them to you." Lin Yi said with a smile.

In fact, the lightning-struck jujube wood was obtained when copying those Taoist temples. At the beginning, Song Huizong gave them a lot of good things, and later they all went into Lin Yi's pocket.

Gongsun Sheng immediately beamed with joy.

For such a good thing, humiliate it.

Lin Yi found Master Luo and asked out his doubts.

Luo Zhenren explained: "True essence mainly focuses on nourishment, and Taoism is about longevity. True essence can increase lifespan, mobilize the energy of heaven and earth, and practice the law of the universe, while internal energy is focused on fighting, which is not beneficial to health preservation."

"If we only talk about martial strength, the fighting power of a martial arts master, even if he encounters a person who has achieved great cultivation, he will still have the power to fight, unless the Jindan strong can crush, so the world will think that the martial arts are not strong."

"But once you step into the golden elixir, you can see the wonders of the universe and the world. When you move your hands and feet to mobilize the power of the world, you are no match for martial arts masters. And the most important point is that the age of 20 years for martial arts masters is already the limit, and most of them are 70 to [-] years old." It will fall, and it is rumored that the strong Jindan can live for eight hundred years, which is not the same."

Lin Yi understood,

Various emphases are different.

But generally speaking, the potential for comprehension is unlimited.

Farewell to Master Luo, Lin Yi was about to go back to practice, when Lin Youcai came over, approached Lin Yi and said in a low voice, "Master, Miss Li Shishi sent you an invitation card."

This guy,
Also sneaky.

Perhaps he was afraid that Cui Niannu would know.

Lin Yi took the invitation and looked at it. There was a poem on it, "The shadow of the water makes the moon shine, and the clear light is full of sorrow." At the end, he left a message inviting Lin Yi to enjoy the autumn moon tonight.

Lin Yi smiled.

In fact, all along
Lin Yi didn't cut off contact with Li Shishi, the two made friends through poetry, and occasionally you passed a poem to the past, and she replied with a poem, the two of them had a great time playing.

Except poetry.

In terms of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the two have common hobbies. When Lin Yi goes by occasionally, the two choose to communicate with each other.

a long time.

The two became close friends.

Especially during Song Huizong's poisoning period, Song Huizong was killed by Lin Yi, so naturally he would not go to see Li Shishi again, and Li Shishi became more and more empty.

However, the two are not limited to poetry friends.

Later Song Huizong got better and changed people. Lin Yi once changed into Song Huizong's appearance. He went to meet Li Shishi, but he was afraid of showing his feet, so he didn't really have sex.

How delicate a woman's mind is, one can feel that His Majesty the Emperor treats her much less than before.

This made Li Shishi even more melancholy.

into the night.

Lin Yi changed into casual clothes.

In fact, the Song Dynasty also banned officials from prostitutes, ranging from slaps on the board to suspension of duties, but Song Huizong was very relaxed about officials prostitutes, turning a blind eye to them, no one cared about them, and everyone ignored them something happened.

The carriage pulled him to the back door of Qingyue Zuihua Building, he is a young butler now, so naturally he couldn't openly enter through the door.

After getting out of the carriage, he waved Youcai to go back.

"Master, are you still here to pick you up?" Youcai asked in a low voice.

"No need tonight." Lin Yi said.

Youcai nodded, got in the car and left.

Lin Yi knocked on the door, and the backyard door creaked open, revealing Haitang's tender face, "I've seen Master Lin."

It's not easy to use official names here, so people who come here are called masters or high officials.

Lin Yi is already familiar with the road.

When I came to Li Shishi's elegant garden, there were many lanterns in the courtyard by the small lake, which illuminated the surroundings brightly, and the water waves in the lotus pond reflected light and sparkled layer by layer.

A beauty is sitting by the lake, with only a bun on her head, without any headgear, wearing a light gauze and thin gown, she looks like a gauze Xishi under the light.

"The beauty conceals the present and the past, and the lotus shames the beauty."

Lin Yi stood beside him and said something.

the woman turned her head,

He smiled lightly at Lin Yi.

"Look back and smile at Bai Meisheng." Lin Yi said again.

There is no woman who doesn't like to be praised, especially a great man like Lin Yi who is rare in the world, from eight officials to the deputy prime minister, he is already considered an extremely human minister, and he is proficient in all kinds of talents. Li Shishi thinks he is smart, but The best place is not as good as the man in front of him.

"You called me to watch the moon?"

Lin Yi looked at the top of his head, there was still half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was only one crescent moon in the sky, but I have to say that the moon in August is brighter than other months even if it is a crescent moon.

Li Shishi smiled lightly, "The moon waxes and wanes. Others appreciate the full moon, but I prefer the half moon."

Li Shishi beckoned and asked Haitang to bring a small table, and the two sat and chatted by the lake, with only wine and no food.

But rice wine is sweet and tastes better than drinks.

Not to mention being accompanied by beautiful women.

"Let's write moon poems. If you want new poems, if you can't write them, you'll be fined with alcohol. If you write them, you'll be punished with a drink?" Li Shishi said playfully.

"Okay." Lin Yi said.

"Who will come first?"

"The guests come first."

Lin Yi thought for a while, and said: "Reminiscing about the mid-autumn osmanthus cluster, the flowers are in the cup, and the moon is also in the cup." After finishing the poem, Lin Yi asked Li Shishi.

"How, can it be considered a pass?"

"good words."

Li Shishi took a drink from a wine glass as big as a teacup.

Then he poured himself another glass, looked at Lin Yi and smiled, "I can't do it, so I'll make another glass."

Lin Yi was taken aback.

The moon poems are quite simple. With Li Shishi's talents, he can casually recite a few poems, but now this woman punished herself.

"Go on, now it's your turn again." Li Shishi looked at Lin Yi and said.

Lin Yi thought for a while, and then said: "Poor Jin Xiyue, where are you going, go to Yoyo"

After reading this poem, Li Shishi's eyes became brighter, "This poem is better, I like it very much."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank another glass himself.

Then pour the wine.

Smiling at Lin Yi, "I still can't do it."

As he spoke, he punished himself with another cup.

At this time, Li Shishi's face was already flushed, his eyes were slightly blurred, and he looked more colorful and cute.

"Go on."

Lin Yi looked at this woman.

The heart said something strange.

"Ten miles of Pinghu is full of frost, and every inch of blue silk is worried about the new year. I only look at the moon and protect each other, and I only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals."

After Li Shishi finished listening, he savored it for a while, then picked up his glass and drank the wine with a smile, "This poem is worth explaining."

After drinking, he poured himself another glass.

Lin Yi grabbed her hand, "I'm thirsty, and I want a drink too."

Li Shishi looked at Lin Yi, and slowly handed over his own cup. This is the cup she used to drink to Lin Yi. This action is already very ambiguous.

Lin Yi let Li Shishi feed him a glass of wine, looked at the woman with a smile, and put his arms around her waist.

Master Li froze slightly.

Soon the two were glued together.

Unlimited sweetness.

Li Shishi's eyes became more blurred.

Speechless.

In fact, the two have long had a friendship, but they didn't break through the last step, and today's success will come naturally, without any hesitation.

Walk into the house holding hands.

In the room, the women's dresses and skirts were strewn all over the floor. Inside the light gauze curtain of the large carved bed, moving voices could be heard endlessly. The shy Haitang hid outside and did not dare to approach.

a long time,

The sound faded away.

Just as Haitang wanted to go in to serve her, a servant suddenly ran over from a distance, and when she came close to Haitang, she panted and said, "Sister Haitang, quickly tell Miss Master that the great master is here."

Haitang's brain exploded.

She naturally knew who the old man was.

anxious
If you don't come every month, why come today, the girl and Mr. Lin are still in the house, what should I do?
She hurried into the house.

Seeing behind the curtain, the two were still entangled, chatting softly and slowly, Miss Shi Shi looked even more satisfied.

Haitang ran to the bed, and quickly said in a low voice through the curtain: "Miss, Miss is not well, high official, high official is here, already outside the gate of the courtyard."

Master Li was shocked.

This is not just a matter of stealing people. If you annoy that person, you may be in danger of your life, especially the one next to you. He is a popular person next to the emperor. Lin Lang is in great danger.

"Haitang, clean up the clothes on the floor."

Haitang hurriedly picked up the scattered clothes on the ground, hugged them and stuffed them into a closet next to her.

"Lin Lang, quickly find a place to hide." Li Shishi pushed Lin Yi to get up quickly.

Lin Yi thought for a while, "I'm afraid it's too late now, just hide here, just say you're not feeling well, go to bed early, and let him come back another day."

As he spoke, he covered Li Shishi and Lin Yi with the quilt.

Li Shishi didn't expect Lin Yi to be so bold, so he hid in the quilt. The key point is that Lin Lang's hand was still there.

Does he really want to 'die under the peony'?

"Haitang, open the window to let out the air, and blow out the other candles quickly, leaving only one." Li Shishi hurriedly said.

Haitang hurriedly opened the window and blew out the candles.

When only one candle is left.

There was a voice outside the door,

Haitang hurried to the outer hall to greet her,
"Your Majesty is here."

Master Li knows that there is no other way now.

Song Huizong entered the house,
Also dressed in casual clothes, before entering the door, the eunuchs and guards were asked to wait outside, not allowed to enter, and asked Haitang: "Where is your girl?"

"Back, back to the official, the girl is not feeling well, go to bed early, early." Haitang stammered nervously.

"Oh, I'm not feeling well, I'll go and have a look." Song Huizong said.

Song Huizong was in front,
Haitang tremblingly followed behind.

in the room,
There was only one candle, and a small fire, which made most of the room dark.

A corner of the curtain was torn,
Li Shishi leaned against the bed,

The quilt covered her body, but her fair collarbone was exposed, apparently she didn't even wear a small coat underneath.

Song Huizong came in.

There was a flash of tension on Li Shishi's face, but he tried not to show it, but Lin Yi could feel that Li Shishi's heart beat at least twenty or thirty times faster at this moment.

Song Huizong walked up to him and sat by the bed. Seeing Li Shishi's wet hair, he asked in a concerned tone, "Master, are you sick? Why are you sweating so much?"

As he spoke, he touched Li Shishi's forehead.

Li Shishi squeezed out a smiling face, "Why did the senior official come tonight? Unfortunately, today he may be infected with the cold and cannot get up to serve the senior official."

"Shall I call someone over to show you?" Song Huizong said.

"No, no need, I've already taken the medicine, and I'm already sweating. I think I'll be fine tomorrow." Li Shishi hurriedly said.

this moment,
Lin Yi felt that Li Shishi's heartbeat was at least 100 beats per minute.

The emperor was sitting on the side of the bed, and a man was clinging to her behind her, and even his hands were not honest, how could Li Shishi not be nervous.

At this moment, Master Li thought to himself,
This Lin Lang is really bold.

His Majesty is near,

Once found out, it will definitely end badly.

It felt like Lin Lang wasn't afraid at all.

return,
And tease myself.

Li Shishi's face became more and more red.

Seeing her like this, Song Huizong said with concern: "Look at you, your face is getting redder and your forehead is getting hotter, and you may have severe wind-cold syndrome."

"No, I'm fine." Master Li said quickly.

"You really don't need me to call you a good doctor?" Song Huizong said.

"No need." Master Li said with a smile.

"Then shall I stay with you?" Song Huizong said again.

"No."

Master Li called out.

If the quilt is lifted to reveal the person inside, it will be over.

Song Huizong was taken aback by Li Shishi's cry.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Master Li knew that he had lost his composure, so he quickly corrected it: "I have a cold, so I can't serve the officials, and it is easy to infect you. Please go back and rest, so as not to catch the cold."

The tone is very concerned.

"Never mind."

Song Huizong stood up while speaking.

"Then you rest, I'm going back, and I'll come see you another day."

Hearing this sentence,
Master Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sick, so I won't get up to see you off."

"Well, Mo got up."

Song Huizong turned his head to look at Haitang who was standing beside him nervously, and said, "Haitang, take care of your girl."

"Yes, high official." Haitang hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

The moment Song Huizong left the house, Li Shishi let out a deep breath, and finally got away with it, it was so dangerous.

Soon.

Haitang came back to report.

"The high officials are gone."

Master Li finally felt relieved.

At this time,

Lin Yi poked his head out from Li Shishi's body and looked at Li Shishi. The beauty was still terrified at the moment, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Are you scared?"

"You, you are so daring, you dare to tease him when the high officials were here just now." Li Shishi blamed him.

"Not more exciting." Lin Yi smiled.

Li Shishi blushed. Although she was worried just now, it did make her experience the excitement she had never experienced before.

That feeling is amazing.

Soon,
The sound of waves in the room is still there.

The next day,

Lin Yi came to the Ministry of Industry and began to study new income-increasing projects. He said to the officials of the Ministry of Industry: "Bring me the information of the national mines and refinery supervisors."

The officials immediately brought a thick stack of documents.

Lin Yi looked through it carefully, and his movements were very fast, basically he just swept it away, but he remembered all the content in his heart.

Is the Song Dynasty short of copper?
very very short,
Is Da Song lacking iron?
Nature is also missing.

Are there any other metals missing?

Nothing is missing.

Taking the Huizong period of Song Dynasty as an example, there were 36 smelting supervisors in the world, who smelted iron materials, with an annual output of about 8000 tons.

Lin Yi read some online posts, saying that the Song Dynasty produced 15 tons of iron annually, accounting for 75% of the world's iron production at that time.

Now that Lin Yi has read the information, he can only say that it is pure nonsense.

The iron materials produced are tightly distributed every year. Iron is needed for forging weapons and armor, iron is needed for farm tools, and part of it is used for casting coins.

There are a lot of iron coins in the Song Dynasty. The main reason is that the number of copper coins is insufficient. The commodity economy in the Song Dynasty is developed and there is a great demand for copper coins. Neighboring Annan, North Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia mainly circulated Song coins, which resulted in a shortage of copper coins and a "money shortage". Finally, in order to protect copper from being lost in large quantities, the Great Song Dynasty cast a large amount of iron coins.

So ironmaking is now making money.

Lin Yi has a complete and detailed map of the world's mineral deposits in his mind, and he is not willing to go far away. He plans to find a few copper-iron rich mines in Henan, Shandong and other places nearby.

And coal mines.

Now the Song Dynasty has widely used coal, but the understanding of coal is not very good, and most people use coal to smoke, so they still use a lot of charcoal for heating.

In terms of coal smelting, it has been used on a large scale now, but because the use of coal leads to a large increase in the sulfur content of steel, which makes the iron brittle and tastes poorer, so that good iron cannot be produced, so charcoal is still used in many cases if you want good iron.

Lin Yi couldn't help it.

the next money,

Lin Yi intends to make money from these mines and iron smelting workshops. Of course, he will not mine a little bit foolishly.

Capital operation is the fastest way to make money.

Very simple,
The Song Dynasty allowed private mining of mines, as long as they paid taxes, and the government bought them from the mines if they needed it. This is fairer than most dynasties.

When he finds the ore lode, Lin Yi will ask someone to issue an official data analysis report on the reserves of the mine, and then use this report to sell the mine as a stock, so that he can quickly receive a large sum of money.

Before finding the new mine, Lin Yi already thought of how to sell them.

Next,
He will also come up with a better desulfurization ironmaking plan, use cheaper coal to smelt a large amount of iron, and then come up with a steelmaking method far beyond this era to mass produce high-quality steel.

The price of steel in Da Song is very expensive.

Lin Chong spent [-] guan on buying a knife, which was specially sold to him. Yang Zhi sold the knife on the street and asked for [-] guan.

According to Lin Yi's analysis,
The knives in their hands are, at best, hundred-forged steel.

Lin Yi is confident that he can refine high-carbon steel that is not inferior to hundred-forged steel, and that it will be mass-produced. By then, the weapons produced will definitely be sold well and equipped for the army.

read the information,

Lin Yi got the idea, and called the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and told them: "Go find some of the best loom makers. I have something for them to make."

Not long after, a few craftsmen came over to meet Mr. Shaozai.

Lin Yi said as he took out a scroll.

"I have several looms here, and you help me build them."

The artisans took the scroll and opened it,

There are three new Spin Loom graphics above.

There are also detailed size and shape drawings of each component at the back. The craftsmen can see it at a glance, and it is not difficult for them to build.

"My lord, it can be built in five days at most."

"Okay, I'll come to inspect the goods in five days."
