Chapter 37 Hide and Seek

With a wave of his hand, Yang Fan marked out a piece of mountainous land near the river, commanded the slaves to erect self-built houses, and then selected the skilled ones to build arsenals and pharmaceutical factories on the designated islands.

Fortunately, everyone brought back a lot of tools and materials this time, and Liu Erniu also received instructions to continuously deliver construction materials to the island.

All aspects of the island are in full swing, everyone is trying their best, and the work is in full swing.

However, Yang Fan met nine big men with strong hands and thick necks in the study room. He looked around and said, "I don't know what crimes you have committed, and I can't provide justice for you. I know that some of you are just implicated by the master's family, and some of you are just implicated by the master's family.

People just suffer unreasonable disasters, and some people even become slaves out of ignorance. You don't need to be moved and despair about your future, because you are lucky to have met me, even though I brought you back from the slave workshop, even though you have a deaf ear

The word "slave" is engraved on it, but I will not regard you as slaves. There are many slaves in this world who give up on themselves and are willing to fall. But an experience and an engraved word will not tell you what kind of people you are. As long as you don't regard yourself as a slave.

If you treat yourself as a slave, you will not be a slave. If you are born as a human being, others will have to treat you as a human being."

"From now on, you will be the craftsmen of my Wanzhu Island. You will have a salary and dignity, but you cannot leave the island at will, and you cannot tell the island's craftsmanship and secrets."

"You must think I'm hypocritical. Since I don't allow you to come in and out freely, and have free speech, how can I have the dignity and not treat you as slaves?"

Yang Fan drank a cup of tea by himself, and then said: "Because you can use this money to exchange for skills and medicinal materials, and you can also use this money to start a family in my jurisdiction. It doesn't matter whether it's earth-level skills or heaven-level skills.

I can give you the right to choose. If you work hard enough, you can also become a disciple of Wanzhu Island."

All the blacksmiths kowtowed excitedly and shouted their loyalty.

Yang Fan waved his hand to interrupt everyone's attempts to make friends. He took out a stack of paper and spread it on the table. "It's better to say something nicely than to do something beautifully. A craftsman's skill is to make iron well. This is what you think of me."

The best reward. These are the precision weapons I drew. As long as you can make what I drew, for each additional piece, you will get one or two more silvers per month. If that person invents a good weapon, give it to that person.

For extra people, there will be an extra two taels a month."

After sending the blacksmiths to build their own iron shops, Yang Fan met with the medicine farmers as usual, talked about their interests and benefits, and offered benefits, but with more restrictions than the blacksmiths. Yang Fan had no intention of giving them the dozen or so medicines on hand, because

These prescriptions are both confidential and precise, and the core information will be handed over to Wu Shu and Chen Busan, allowing them to control the production, proportion, process and production of each medicine.

The job of a drug farmer is planting, picking, drying, processing of semi-finished products, and most importantly, workshop assembly.

In this way, each type of craftsman was given hot soup and chicken blood in batches, and eighteen masons, twenty-five carpenters, and even an old scholar who had worked as a housekeeper were found among the labor force.

Immediately let him take up the position of private school teacher, and he will no longer have to suffer physical hardships.

As for the younger children, Yang Fan also "weighed their bones and tested their aptitudes" one by one. The boys were nervous and the girls were scared. After all, who wouldn't be afraid of being groped on your body and pinched on your shoulders by strangers?

After all the hard work, there were only three earth-level talents, and none of them had heaven-level talents. This shows that good disciples are hard to come by.

After a conversation, the future path of these young people has been planned. Except for the three prefecture-level talents, the others will be placed outside the island and become outer disciples who work without a master and are supplemented by cultivation.

Three days later, an industrial zone was built on Wanzhu Island. Yang Fan was not so eager for the arsenal. After all, the weapons were not sold to outsiders, but for personal use. The pharmacy was for profit, so Yang Fan focused on medicine.

A large number of medicinal materials were put into the pharmacy for processing, and some medicines were quickly synthesized under Yang Fan's personal supervision and command.

Yang Fan brought Chen Busan and Wu Shu to the scene in person, and while coaching the drug farmers, he explained to Wu Shu and Chen Busan:

No matter how complicated the pill is, it is made from simple medicine.

The complexity is always the dosage and process, not the drug itself.

The storage of medicines often needs to be as careful as the manufacturing process. You never know what medicinal properties a medicine will produce when put together with other things.

After the medicines are produced, time information must be printed. Some medicines cannot be used immediately, and some medicines cannot be used after being stored for too long.

No matter how good the medicine is, it should not be allowed to be tasted privately by medicine farmers. If you take too much ginseng, you will die, let alone other medicines.

…

Yang Fan spoke seriously, and Chen Busan and Wu Shu listened carefully. They even imitated Yang Fan and took notes in a decent manner.

Soon the first batch of medicines were produced, including Fengyoujing, Yunnan Baiyao, Jiangu Tie, and more than a dozen antidotes specifically designed to restrain poisonous grain poisons.

Yang Fan knows that there is a process for recognizing new things. Don't be blindly optimistic and don't act too hastily. Who would believe that applying a smear of medicine can repel mosquitoes and disinfect it, sprinkle a little on a wound to stop bleeding, and apply it to a wounded bone to gradually heal?

What about the recovered ones?

Although no one is interested in the Chinese miracle medicine, the poisonous valley antidote is sold out. This is not so much a belief in the reputation of Wanzhu Island, but rather a fear of the evil reputation of poisonous valley. Traveling around the world, traveling north and south, people's hearts are sinister and full of crises.

, who is not afraid of meeting a bad person and getting poisoned or something? So buying some antidotes for self-defense is like a woman buying a bag, to be prepared, the more the better.

Wu Wei counted the banknotes and said with a smile: "The two stores made three hundred and forty-six taels in one day, which is pure profit. If you hadn't asked for a 20% discount on the new store, it would have been four hundred and thirty-two taels."

Yang Fan couldn't help but was stunned, and had a new understanding of Wu Shu's arithmetic ability. He touched her head and said: "Discounts are just a gimmick to attract customers. We even have the final say on the price. Why do we care about an opinion? Discounts are just a gimmick to attract customers.

It’s just to make the guests feel like they’re taking advantage.”

Wu Shu smiled and said with narrowed eyes: "I suddenly felt that you were not born by a doctor, but by a businessman."

Yang Fan said seriously: "No, you are wrong. In fact, I was born of a woman."

Everyone laughed for a while. When they first heard it, they thought it was ridiculous, but when they thought about it again, it was true.

For several days in a row, except for the hard training in the morning, Yang Fan spent the rest of the time in industry. His iron-making skills have been improved, the pharmaceutical project has been accelerated, the assembly lines for seven kinds of drugs have matured, and the manufacturing processes for other drugs are also gradually improving.

In the middle and outer gates, construction was carried out, and fertile land was contracted to the poor and slaves in batches.

At the same time that the iron chain was connected on both sides of the strait, the bridge was cut off by Chen Busan. From then on, the only way to travel was by boat, and people from the inner island had to report when they went out. The disciples from the outer island practiced hard and made outstanding contributions, and they would receive gifts from the inner island.

Better cultivation conditions. As for the inner island disciples, if they are unwilling to make progress and are lazy and lazy, they will also be sent to the outer islands for labor reform.

After this development, there were twenty inner disciples on Wanzhu Island, and fifty outer disciples. The direct disciple had already appointed a golden boy.

Compared with any other sect, this achievement is shameful. After all, it’s just that there are few people. The key is that they are all harmless children. Compared with those sects that often have tens of thousands of disciples, it’s just a matter of words.

One young man can overthrow the entire Wanzhu Island.

But if someone tells you that the twenty inner disciples of Wanzhu Island will most likely become super masters in the future, I don’t know how the world would feel. There are only more than 2,000 super masters in the entire Zhu Dynasty.

On this day, Yang Fan got up early as usual and made chicken soup for Wu Shu, and then led his disciples to start practicing. After practicing, he inexplicably led his disciples to play hide and seek.

All the disciples were naturally happy and excited, not feeling tired after hard training at all.

By coincidence, Golden Boy was looking for people. Golden Boy Hide and Seek only likes to find people close to him, but he searched and searched, but Yang Fan was nowhere to be found.

What started as one person's search turned into everyone searching, but all the disciples still returned without success.

Everyone just thought that Master had something to do, but when he didn't come to eat in the morning or lunch, everyone thought something was wrong.

But I saw Chen Busan sitting in the master's seat with a gloomy face, smoking cigarettes one after another.

Chen Busan sighed, greeted everyone to come down to eat, and said, "No need to look for it, your master is gone."

The little disciples all had tears in their eyes to express their sorrow, and the little princess Jade Girl of Wanzhu Island cried so hard that she pushed away the food in front of her.

The golden boy cried with tears and runny nose, "Master! I haven't fulfilled my filial piety to you yet? Why did you leave so suddenly?"

The second senior sister Xuanhuang next to him slapped him on the back of the head, "What do you know? You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. If you leave, you are not dead. You can cry, but you can't mourn."

Since Golden Boy has integrated into the big family of Wanzhu Island, he will not be able to say a word for three days like when Yang Fan just met him. He also talks more when he gets to know people, but a child is a child after all, and the words he speaks are often laced with emotion.

Shockingly sharp, childish and unbridled.

The golden boy was pitiful and had a sloppy nose. He wiped his nose and said, "When my mother died, I remember what my father said. He also told me that when she left, she had gone to a very far place and would never be seen again."

Senior Brother Li Tiandi covered the golden boy and looked at the faces of Chen Busan and Wu Shu. Seeing that they were in a daze and not paying attention to the golden boy, he glared at the golden boy and told him not to talk too much.

Wu Shu was absent-minded and muttered to himself: "Why didn't he tell me? Why didn't he tell me that he was leaving today?"
