Accompanied and verified by two cultivator bodyguards, Wang Kai and Wong Yuanwai took away three hundred bottles of diluted 'heavenly spirit liquid' from Zhou Qingfeng at the price of sixty taels per bottle, as well as berberine and chloramphenicol that could be diluted into thousands of portions. The place of the transaction was Guo Buyi's study, and Flat Hair acted as the supervisor.
Everything was very formal, right?
Since this batch of goods was worth ten to twenty thousand taels of silver, Wong Yuanwai didn't want to pay in cash. He simply made a deal with Zhou Qingfeng and paid Zhou Qingfeng at a discount for a batch of goods, including food, technicians, and shops. Thus, both sides were very satisfied with what they needed.
In fact, even Wong Yuanwai didn't expect the popularity of the 'heavenly spirit liquid'. As soon as he got the three hundred bottles, the two cultivator bodyguards who accompanied him to pick up the goods increased the price by twenty taels per bottle, taking away one hundred bottles in one go. That was eight thousand taels of silver in total.
Wong Yuanwai was very puzzled and asked his bodyguard, "Is there no elixir to replenish spiritual energy in the market square?"
"There is." One of the cultivators replied. He was uncorking the porcelain bottles one by one to ensure that the effect of the medicinal liquid in each bottle was pure. "There are more effective elixir to replenish spiritual energy in the market square, but they are more expensive. The real advantage of this batch of 'heavenly spirit liquid' is that the medicinal liquid is very pure, with almost no impurities. The replenishing effect is fast, and there is no discomfort after drinking it. This is the most valuable part of it. "
In order to improve their cultivation, it was common for cultivators to take all kinds of elixirs. However, as the saying goes, 'every medicine is 30% poisonous'. Of course, everyone liked elixirs without any impurities or side effects. In addition, the 'heavenly spirit liquid' was affordable and had a quick effect, so it was naturally more popular. It was just like how people who had a cold hoped to get better immediately after drinking medicine. Otherwise, why would they take medicine?
However, Wong Yuanwai still faintly felt that something was wrong. He had a keen sense of business. Knowing that the 'heavenly spirit liquid' sold by Flat Hair was very popular, he wanted to buy a batch and sell it elsewhere to make money. But seeing that his two cultivator bodyguards bought one-third of it, he felt that this matter was too exaggerated.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Kai suddenly asked, "Did the cultivators who went to the Northern Reaches in search of fortune run into some sort of trouble?"
The two cultivator bodyguards immediately looked at each other and smiled. One of them nodded slightly and said, "You're really smart. We just wanted to buy some elixirs, and you already knew the real reason."
The other said with a gloomy expression, "It's not trouble, it's big trouble. The other person said, "It's not trouble, it is big trouble. But there are rumors. Chu of Chu Ying appeared. Right now, the cultivators of the Great Ming, the Jurchens, and the Mongolians are all together. "
"Damed Damer Jin Yao Kai has said.
"I said, Chu Of Chu Chu Ying Ping Chu, Ying is … I Ling King from Su, I said …. Zhou, heard that a … Zhou Demon Su as many as … Zhou from … Wang Wang … "Zhou as, as I Wang Wang Of Zhou Wang of Many as of many benefits. as … as I as … as,
There was no way that Wang Kai didn't know Chu Ying's name. The blood sacrifice of Ehekulun was now widely known. Chu Ying fought against the army of Jianzhou, and even Nurhachi had to deal with it himself.
Many people thought that Chu Ying's cultivation should be the strongest in Liaodong. But Chu Ying hid in the Oniguchi Mound and was taken advantage of by a low-level ghost cultivator, which aroused countless speculations in the cultivation world. Many people felt that Chu Ying was probably already dead, and wanted to find the treasures he had left behind. For such a powerful person, even a piece of his skeleton was a treasure.
"That is to say, there will be a shortage of all kinds of healing elixirs, and even the price of various magic treasures and talismans will rise." What Wang Kai cared about was business. Looking at the 100 bottles of 'heavenly spirit liquid' that he had just sold, he felt distressed. It wasn't easy to get the goods, but he didn't make much money. The two bodyguards, on the other hand, chuckled, feeling that they had taken advantage of the situation.
"Is there no one else who can refine this' heavenly spirit liquid '?" Wang Kai asked again.
The two cultivator bodyguards both shook their heads. One of them said, "There are Fellow Daoists in the market place who are good at refining elixirs and want to imitate this second-grade elixir. But they all say that this elixir is too pure and can't be made by ordinary cultivators. Some people even speculate that it was made by Guo Buyi himself. "
Wang Kai shook his head and stopped asking. He returned to his mansion and stored the elixirs or sent them to other places for sale, as long as he could make money. As for Zhou Qingfeng, who had just received a large amount of silver and food, he finally had enough capital to integrate the territory he controlled.
Sang Carpenter, who repaired Zhou Qingfeng's medical center, had unknowingly become the target of integration. This old farmer got up early this morning and went to work in Zhou Qingfeng's carpentry workshop. Now that he had a fixed monthly salary, he was exceptionally energetic in his work. Zhou Qingfeng also institutionalized the rule that apprentices would be rewarded. Every apprentice or skilled craftsman of a certain level would be rewarded with silver.
This rule alone almost caused a riot among the craftsmen in Zhou Qingfeng's area.
When Carpenter Sang realized that there was money to be made, he decided to bring his sons to work in the carpentry workshop. His sons immediately passed the carpentry grade assessment and signed the labor contract. As soon as Zhou Qingfeng put his thumbprint on the contract, Carpenter Sang immediately received the referral fee from the administrative department. Zhou Qingfeng didn't know anything about carpentry. All he did was use the vocational school's "National Occupational Standards" to put on an act.
Zhou Qingfeng's original intention was to 'repair the Wutong Tree and attract the Golden Phoenix', so he was happy to let others take advantage of him. Carpenter Sang's initial thought was that even if he couldn't get the reward for introducing a skilled worker, he could at least get his sons some decent jobs. However, when he really got the money …
"I can get money even if I bring my sons here?"
"The boss said that as long as you can bring the craftsmen and sign the contract with us, we'll pay you."
"Is there really such a good thing? Then if I hire a few more carpenters for the boss, won't the boss still have to pay me? "
"That's right. But if the craftsmen leave halfway, we'll deduct the money again. "
"No, no, no. All the people I know are honest people. They won't run away after they've signed the contract. Besides, the boss is paying so much monthly salary, who would be willing to leave? "
Sang Carpenter felt his heart burning with the seven or eight taels of referral fee in his hand. He had never seen so much money in his entire life as a farmer. He was sweating all over in the cold winter. When he returned to his dormitory, Sang Carpenter was even more restless. His sons surrounded him and asked him what was going on. He held it in for a long time before he finally told them about the money.
When the Sang family's sons saw the money, they were not happy, but panicked, just like their father. They hurriedly wrapped up the seven or eight taels of silver and hid it on Sang Carpenter's body. The sons even formed a circle around their father, trembling as they spoke. After they had calmed down from their excitement, the youngest son suddenly said, "Since we'll pay as long as we can hire people, can we ask our second uncle to come?"
"Our second uncle isn't a carpenter," the eldest son said.
The youngest son continued, "Second uncle can weave wicker baskets. The wicker baskets he weaves with rattan he picks from the mountains are very useful. They're strong and light. In my opinion, this is also a kind of craft. Didn't the boss say that as long as it's a skill? "
"Pfft, how can weaving wicker baskets be a skill?" The eldest son still denied. "Your sister-in-law can also weave baskets, but no one thinks it's a big deal."
The youngest son had suffered a setback. He could only turn his head to look at Sang Carpenter. Then the other sons also looked over. Even the eldest son looked at him with a questioning gaze. Sang Carpenter kept rubbing his hands on his thighs. He couldn't make up his mind.
However, the eldest son opened his mouth and asked, "Father, why don't you ask the boss? Although the youngest son's idea is not very reliable, if weaving wicker baskets is considered a skill, how many people in our village can weave wicker baskets? "
When he thought of all the young and old in the village being introduced to work for the boss, wouldn't he get a lot of introductory fees? Sang Carpenter raised his hand. He felt that he couldn't count even if he had a hundred fingers. However, he had been honest his whole life. He was afraid that he would be punished if he asked the wrong question.
The youngest son stood up and volunteered, "Father, why don't I ask the boss?" The youngest son stood up and volunteered. "I don't need to ask the boss. I'll ask the Old Man Sun. I think that old man is quite easy to talk to. "
"Okay." Sang Carpenter nodded vigorously. He specially ordered, "Just say that our relatives also want to work here. Don't mention the introductory fee for now."
"Father, don't worry. I won't talk nonsense. "The youngest son of the Sang family went out after receiving the order. Sang Carpenter and the other sons waited, but the youngest son didn't come back until it was almost dark. Sang Carpenter was worried that something had happened, so he hurried to the Lin's Inn to ask. He thought that the youngest son must have caused trouble and should be punished, but in the end …
"The youngest son of the Sang family?" Because the organization was simple, Old Man Sun received Sang Carpenter and said with a smile, "Your youngest son is a smart man. He asked if we still need craftsmen. Of course, I said yes. As long as he can find people, any craftsmen will do. I will pay him the introductory fee. He left the city at noon and said that he wanted to go back to the village to recruit more craftsmen for the boss. "
Hearing that his youngest son was fine, Sang Carpenter was finally relieved. But his eldest son who came with him asked anxiously, "My little brother is not an official employee of the woodworking workshop. He didn't even sign the contract. How can he recruit workers for the boss?"
Old Man Sun smiled. "No matter who it is, as long as they can find useful people for the boss, the boss will pay. The boss said that weaving baskets is also a skill, and they can be considered craftsmen. As long as they are skilled, it doesn't matter if they are male or female, anyone can come. Even if their skills are not up to standard, the boss will still pay them. "
He had never heard of such a good deal!
The eldest son asked again, "Our youngest son hasn't split from the family yet. Are we going to pay him the introductory fee?"
"Give it to him. Why not?" Old Man Sun continued to smile.
"No wonder he didn't come back at noon." The eldest son turned to Sang Carpenter and complained, "Father, why don't you discipline the youngest? He will definitely split from the family after taking the money. "
Carpenter Sang slapped him across the face and angrily scolded, "Have you lost your mind? You're still thinking about this now? Hurry to your wife's house. Your father-in-law is good at weaving baskets. Bring the rest of your clothes with you and set off in the middle of the night with a torch. Hurry up. If you're late, they might be dragged away by someone else. This is all money. "
The eldest son immediately came to his senses after being slapped. The other sons also hurried out of the Lin Inn. Only Sang Carpenter smiled foolishly at Old Man Sun. The old man also laughed at him.
In this day and age, the common people were forced to master a variety of labor skills. There were all kinds of craftsmen among the people, and what Zhou Qingfeng needed to do was to spend some money to gather them together and create a scale effect.
Most of the craftsmen in Fu Shun City had fixed jobs and were not easy to recruit. However, there was a large number of craftsmen in the countryside outside the city. In just two or three days, the news spread to all the villages, and a large number of common people rushed over like a tide. There were many people who didn't have any skills, but they also wanted to fish in troubled waters.
As the news spread, more and more people came, and the skills of the craftsmen increased, Zhou Qingfeng began to be picky. He had to categorize the craftsmen, divide their ranks, divide their pay, arrange their food and lodging, and build a working space. Everything was carried out in a hurry.
All the heroes of the world were in his grasp!
