Chapter 113: Pulling people in
Quickly staying away from the old way of being addicted to heavy metals, Xia Hongsheng took Qi Yong and hurriedly fled. When he went out, he saw Qi Yong looking at himself with admiration: "Childe, you are so powerful, as soon as you meet, you can ask the Taoist to send you an elixir!" ”
Xia Hongsheng was taken aback, is this person having a problem with his brain, it is obviously poison! So Xia Hongsheng took out the bottle: "If you want to eat, give it to you." Don't blame me for eating to death. ”
Qi Yong was stunned for a moment, and quickly dodged with a sneer: "The little one is not blessed to accept this, this is only qualified for a noble like Gongzi......"
"Come on, Qi Yong, I solemnly tell you, this kind of thing will never be touched in the future." Xia Hongsheng said: "Remember, this thing is actually not an elixir, and it is not even an elixir." It's poison, and if you eat it, you'll die! ”
"Huh?" Qi Yong's eyes widened: "This ...... Childe, this is the elixir of the Xuandu Taoist priest! You don't know, the Taoist priests of Xuandu Temple are very famous, and many people come to ask for Dan, that is, His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and sometimes they will take some to recuperate their bodies. ”
Recuperate?! Xia Hongsheng's eyes widened, can this thing still adjust his body?! By the way, in history, it seems that Li Lao Er died so early after eating the "elixir" and destroying his body, no, he is also his own leader now, and he treats himself well, and he directly gives a house as soon as he comes up, this must be the welfare that many people in the future generations dream of, or I have to persuade him not to let him eat this thing.
Thinking of this, Xia Hongsheng frowned, and said to Qi Yong: "Go buy a chicken, you want to live, bring it back and I'll let you see with your own eyes what this thing is." ”
Qi Yong took the order, and soon bought a live chicken, and the two went back to the house together.
"Qi Yong, break this and feed that chicken." Xia Hongsheng handed the heavy "elixir" that shimmered with metallic luster to Qi Yong.
"Childe, you really ......" Qi Yong looked at the things in Xia Hongsheng's hand: "This is something that many people can't ask for......"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and do it, and you'll find out later." Xia Hongsheng urged.
Qi Yong had no choice but to do so, crushed the "elixir", and then fed it with the beak of the chicken.
The chicken was very lively at first, scurrying all over the yard, thinking that it was a bird, flapping its wings and looking like it wanted to fly. Qi Yong's face was full of regret, the son of Xindao was still too young, and the ammunition he didn't understand was precious, so he turned the elixir that others couldn't ask for into chickens. But gradually, the chicken fluttered and didn't move, lying on the ground and screaming "cooing", and finally simply screamed in his throat, and the cry was extremely poignant. Qi Yong's face changed, and he watched as the chicken began to twitch all over, foaming at the mouth, and finally the feces and urine flowed together, blood appeared in the beak, and his legs hiccuped.
"Dead ...... He's dead! Qi Yong's face changed dramatically: "Gong...... Son...... That medicine can kill chickens! ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded and said to Qi Yong: "Yes, I saw it." This is called an elixir. The mercury and red lead in it are highly toxic, but it is ridiculous that those Taoist priests also regard those things as treasures to strengthen the body? Hehe, Qi Yong, let me ask you, does that old Taoist priest look like he is in good health? ”
Qi Yong's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up: "His heart can be punished!" These things are obviously poisons that can kill poultry, but those bull noses are holding harmful people and defrauding people of money! The little one went to smash his Xuandu Temple and arrested the old Taoist priest back! ”
Xia Hongsheng hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him: "Can you catch one person, can you catch all the Dan Dao people in the world?" This matter still depends on His Majesty's intentions. I will find a suitable opportunity to admonish Your Majesty. Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, not many people will believe it when we spread it now, we have to let His Majesty believe it first, and then others will believe it. ”
"The little one understands." Qi Yong nodded.
Xia Hongsheng had seen the distillers used by Taoist priests to make mercury, which were monomeric and easy to bring out impurities. Xia Hongsheng wants to use it to make distilled spirits, but the monomer is not good, the distiller and the condenser must be separated, and the middle is connected with a conduit, so that the hot gas in the distiller enters the condenser through the conduit and is re-condensed and liquefied, so that it is not easy to bring out impurities, and the condenser can be heated again for secondary distillation to extract higher purity alcohol.
Xia Hongsheng had an eyebrow in his heart, so he went to draw a drawing of the still, and then handed it to a personal soldier, asking him to fly to the Zhuangzi and let the craftsman start making it.
The market for wine is very large, and the profits are also very large, and if you look at the advertisements of CCTV prime time in later generations, most of them are medicine and wine. Xia Hongsheng wants to expand the business of the winery, and even reach a monopoly position, but Xia Hongsheng alone will not be able to do it. We must bring in some people together, and we must be particular about pulling people, and the people we bring in can expand the market or provide protection. Xia Hongsheng's first candidate is Li Ke, he is not the prince, so there is no need to have so many evasions, and he is the prince, representing the royal family, if the royal family can participate in this, it is the biggest backstage, in addition, looking for Li Ke to participate, will not let the royal control of the management and management rights, this is also a very important point, if the royal family sends a steward, then this business is not done. The second candidate is Xu Qixian, firstly, the Xu family is kind to him, and secondly, the two have already cooperated, and the cooperation is very good, plus the new tea of Mingxiangju is gradually spreading, just to borrow the channels brought by the new tea.
Xia Hongsheng called a personal soldier and asked him to wait outside the Hongwen Pavilion, and let them go to the Drunken Immortal Building after the group of gentlemen left school, saying that Xia Hongsheng had already set a banquet there and had important matters to discuss. The soldiers were ordered to go out, and Xia Hongsheng took Qi Yong to the Drunken Immortal Building, booked the best seat, and then waited inside.
The waiting time was not very long, and the scum also appeared shouting and drinking, and when they entered the elegant seat, there were actually not many people, only a few people who were very familiar with each other and often came out to eat, drink and have fun together, like Wei Shuyu, who were pure literati and didn't like this kind of occasion very much. So in addition to Xu Qixian, there are only six or seven other people such as Li Ke, Li Yexu and Cheng Chuliang.
"I said Brother Sheng, invite a few of us to dinner, of course I have to go to your house. Brothers, they're interested in your family's meals right now! As soon as I entered the elegant seat, before I sat down, Li Yexu said to Xia Hongsheng inside.
"Hurry up, I'm here today not only to invite you to eat, but also to discuss something with you." Xia Hongsheng let these people into the elegant seat, and then said: "Little brother has a way to make money, thinking that you brothers treat me well, and I can't bear to eat alone, so I called you to reveal a rumor in advance, let's discuss, make money together, and make a fortune together." ”
"Doing business? This old Cheng family doesn't have this ability. Cheng Chumo sat down and said, "Tell my brother to fight and kill the Turks, my brother is good at it, but if you do business, I'm afraid you will have to lose all your money." ”
Xia Hongsheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Let's not talk about this first, the brothers will make a decision after listening to it, let's eat something to cushion our stomachs first." ”
After all the things came up and everyone had eaten for a while, Li Ke asked, "Jingshi, what do you have to say?" ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "That's the case, brother Tai also knows that the younger brother's family used to be poor, and although it was better to go down first, who would think that he had a lot of money, right?" The younger brother has a project, that is, to make wine, the younger brother sits on the wine, and the wine made is as clear as water, but it is full of strength and fragrant taste, and even the best Sanle pulp can not be compared. Now the younger brother is preparing for the workshop, first tell you a letter, if you are willing to do this business with the younger brother, you can raise funds, together with the capital, and then according to the amount of the capital to distribute dividends. For example, Brother Xu has a thousand yuan, accounting for one percent of all the capital, so when the time comes to distribute the dividend, Brother Xu will be able to share one percent of the dividend. In this way, everyone participates, and when the time comes, they earn money and get rich together. ”
"Selling alcohol?" Li Ke was stunned for a moment: "Jingshi, do you know how to make wine?" ”
"When did the little brother brag? It's not the younger brother, it's even the top Sanle pulp, and it's not as good as the wine made by the younger brother with the new method. There is no need to worry, after seven days, the first batch of trial wine will come out, and when the time comes, I will send a jar to the family of a few brothers, and when the time comes, you will know that this business will definitely make a profit. Xia Hongsheng patted his chest and assured them, thought about it, and decided to take some more fierce medicine: "Don't hide it, several brothers should have heard of Mingxiang Curie's new style of tea, right?" I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes when I say it, the new tea method was invented by the younger brother, and the bonus younger brother of Mingxiangju has fifty percent! ”
"Poof-" Li Yexu on the other side squirted out a mouthful of turbid wine. Li Ke also had a stalk in his neck and choked.
Even Cheng Chumo also looked at Xia Hongsheng with wide eyes and stunned: "Brother, aren't you kidding!" You said that you made the tea leaves? Mingxiangju's fifty percent dividend...... This, the business of this Mingxiangju is now ......"
"Jingshi, what you said is true?" Li Ke looked at Xia Hongsheng with a ghost-like expression: "The new tea making method was really made up by you?" ”
"Well, I can testify that it was indeed made by Senior Brother Xia when he was in Luanzhou City." Xu Qixian nodded and spoke.
"How? This is the little brother's secret, and the little brother has confided it. Do the brothers believe in the younger brother's ability to make money? This matter is a few brothers, replaced by others, the younger brother is sure to eat alone, and he earns all the money. Xia Hongsheng said to the crowd: "Besides, our brothers are so manly, can't they stand on their own, and let their parents support them?" A few brothers don't want to prove themselves, telling the family that we don't know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and we can also support ourselves with our own skills?! ”
"Smack!" Li Yexu slapped the table: "Join the gang for my brother!" ”
