In this way, the two parties finalized the agreement. Chen Jingke provided the technology and creativity, and Changsun Wugu provided the people to handle production, transportation and sales. In the end, both parties shared a 91% share.
No scraps of paper or words were put down in writing, it was a purely verbal agreement.
Chen Jingke was not worried at all that Changsun Wujia would default on the debt - without him, if he defaulted on the debt, would he still dare to go to the queen with the contract and ask for money?
In fact, he completely believed in Changsun Wugou's character and would not fall into his debt.
As for whether 10% is too little, he doesn't think so at all, and even thinks it is too much.
In my previous life, I used my creative ideas to seek cooperation with capitalists. It’s hard to say whether I could occupy 10% of the original shares. What’s more, this is an evil old society, and more money is not always better.
It goes without saying which one is more important, money or the favor of the emperor.
Chen Jingke wrote down the methods for making brown sugar, white sugar, and canned fruits on the spot, and also designed a simple assembly line based on his understanding of industrial production.
As if he had found a treasure, the eldest grandson Wugou carefully hid these pages close to his body.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Lizhi all looked at it eagerly, wanting to know if I could get involved. But they all knew the value of this thing and didn't dare to say anything.
Not long after, Li Shimin and Sun Simiao came back, and everyone quickly asked about Qin Qiong's situation.
Li Shimin sighed heavily and said, "He has regained consciousness and been sent back to his home. As for his condition, I'll let Master Sun decide."
Sun Simiao said: "Weak pulse, qi deficiency, and night sweats...are caused by excessive blood loss and loss of vitality."
Changsun Wugou asked: "Is there any way to remedy this?"
Sun Simiao shook his head and said: "I'm going to disappoint you. I may still be able to treat the normal blood loss. Duke Yi Guo's damage is too severe and it's no longer a medicine..."
At this point, he suddenly stopped, looked at Chen Jingke and said, "Ke'er, do you have any idea?"
Chen Jingke also shook his head and said, "I do know some conditioning methods, but I don't know how effective they can be."
Li Shimin said helplessly: "Write down your plan. At this point, we can only do our best and obey fate."
Chen Jingke took up a pen and wrote down what he knew about the methods and taboos of dietary supplementation for ischemia. In fact, it was just a few sentences:
Eat more pig blood, pork liver, vegetables, oranges, kiwi fruit, pinpo fruit, etc., and avoid drinking tea, alcohol, greasy and spicy food, etc.
After handing the prescription to Sun Simiao and asking him to supplement it appropriately, Chen Jingke said casually: "When the donkey-hide gelatin is boiled out, you can let him eat it regularly."
"It would be great if there were carrots. They are rich in nutrients and can replenish blood. They can also treat night blindness and scurvy... By the way, eating them regularly can also lower blood pressure."
High blood pressure has become a nightmare for Li Shimin's family. When he heard that it could lower blood pressure, his ears immediately pricked up: "What is this carrot? Where can I find it?"
Chen Jingke thought for a while and said: "As the name suggests, carrots look a bit like radishes, and the planting methods are similar. The origin seems to be in the Tocharian area of Afghanistan."
"Tocharian?" Li Shimin frowned and thought: "Is it the Tocharian country controlled by the Western Turks?"
Chen Jingke said: "Yes, that's right there."
Li Shimin said unwillingly: "Then there is no way to use troops for the time being, troublesome."
Chen Jingke was a little excited when he heard this. This is the Tang Dynasty. If you want something, the first thing you think about is whether you can snatch it.
If we really send troops, how will future generations evaluate this war? A 'carrot war' or a 'war caused by a carrot'?
Li Chengqian stood up and said: "Yeah, there are many Hu merchants from the west in Chang'an, including Tocharians, and you can buy seeds from them."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, remember not to reveal your true identity when you contact them."
This meant that the matter was left to him. Li Chengqian was overjoyed and said: "The wife's uncle of Meng Xiang, a guest in the East Palace, is a merchant and often interacts with Hu businessmen. He can contact the Tocharians through him."
Li Shimin said: "But, don't act too eager, as it will be easy for others to grasp you."
Li Chengqian said: "Here."
After talking about the carrots, everyone started chatting. Changsun Wujia talked about donkey-hide gelatin, canned food and sugar.
Li Shimin seemed a little indifferent to the first two, but when he heard about the art of making sugar, especially the art of snow sugar, he immediately became interested. Obviously, he knew very well what was really relevant to the military and the country.
Today he came with the ministers of civil and military affairs. Li Shimin could not stay in the backyard for too long without them. After chatting for a while, he took his eldest grandson Wugou, Li Chengqian and the others and left.
Sun Simiao took Chen Jingke and sent them all the way out of the Taoist temple before returning. When they closed the door and prepared to deal with internal affairs, they saw many people pouring over.
After asking around, I found out that some of them came to offer incense, some came to seek medical treatment, and some came to give gifts.
Sun Simiao also treated these people differently, and the one who offered incense replied: "Many things in this Buddhist temple are not ready yet, so we cannot receive you at the moment... Please come back in five days."
Regarding those seeking medical treatment, he said: "A poor Taoist cannot take care of everyone on his own. Those with mild illness should go to other places for treatment. If there are patients with difficult and complicated diseases, come back for treatment after seven days."
He would always refuse anyone who invited guests or gave gifts: "No reward for no merit, please go back."
Then he calmly returned to the meditation center and asked people to close the meditation door tightly.
Chen Jingke, who was following behind, had a look of admiration on his face. Our master is all-powerful. It means he is tired of the officialdom battle, otherwise there may be another famous prime minister in history.
As if to confirm his guess, Sun Simiao then showed how to make personnel arrangements.
He called everyone together and raised Tianlu, Yinu, Yuzhu, twelve slaves and fifty Taoist boys.
Yi Nu and Yu Zhu were the maids assigned to Chen Jingke by Changsun Wugou himself. He did not move, and the rest of them made their own appointments.
Yang Tianlu, who came with him, was appointed as the Du Guan, assisting Guanzhu in handling large and small affairs.
A servant named Qiu Xingsi was the most proficient in Taoist classics and was appointed Du Lecturer, specializing in giving lectures to everyone.
A man named Jiang Zhuo, who was good at cooking, was appointed as the chef, responsible for food procurement, cooking and other matters.
In addition, there are also appointed officials, clerks, inspectors (guardians), and treasurers. Each temple even has a temple master who is responsible for the order, cleaning, and maintenance of the temple.
Fifty Taoist boys became their subordinates.
With just a few seemingly simple appointments, Taoist personnel affairs, which were originally a mess and had no clue, became clearly defined.
It can be said that everyone has a specific position, and every thing has a specific person responsible for it. This ability opened Chen Jingke's eyes and made him feel ashamed at the same time.
It also made him understand that he had too much to learn.
I would like to thank Li Shimin for making personnel appointments so simple.
None of the twelve slaves he gave were truly ordinary people. All of them were literate and had worked as stewards somewhere.
Later, he was reduced to slavery due to various things, and was eventually bought by Li Shimin and sent to the Zixiao Palace.
Sun Simiao did not ignore his disciples. After the personnel appointment was completed, he asked: "Ke'er, do you have anything to say to them?"
