Chapter 224 Mr. Lin, accumulating batteries to practice thunder technique
Royalty is a golden brand.
In the past, ordinary merchants who could supply goods to the royal family generally did not expect to make money from the emperor. Instead, they had the reputation of being exclusively supplied to the royal family. People in the world naturally knew that their products were the best in the world, which was more effective than any advertisement.
The white sugar, snowflake salt, soap, perfume, glassware and glass mirror created by Lin Yi are the only ones in the world. Now they are blessed with the royal name. Even before they are sold, the name has already been given.
Many people are looking forward to it.
Earl Ying and Xie Xida were called by Lin Yi. These two guys finally became useful, and Lin Yi formed the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
Two people are definitely not enough,
Lin Yi transferred many people from other places.
Including the three divisions of the Yamen, the eunuchs at home, the Ministry of Industry, and the Imperial Guards, the Chamber of Commerce had just been established, and its number reached five to six thousand people.
Lin Yi proclaimed himself president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
He has thirty-four big heads, one in each prefecture, and nearly three hundred small heads, one in each state. Various manpower are allocated under his banner.
Why so divided?
Because the world of the Song Dynasty was divided into twenty-six roads, four capitals, thirty prefectures, two hundred and fifty-four prefectures, sixty-three prisons, and one thousand, two hundred and thirty-four counties.
Anyone who joins the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
Must swear allegiance to the emperor.
This link cannot be omitted.
The five to six thousand people now are actually far from enough. When the business starts, it will expand rapidly and it is estimated that there will be hundreds of thousands of people.
At that time, there is no need to worry about the retreat of the imperial army and there will be no place to go.
Lin Yi has a big heart and is ready to expand his business across the country.
And the business Lin Yi wants to develop,
There are far more than just these few products. These are just the simplest and easiest to get started with. He first tried them out.
There are still many profitable businesses.
Such as a trading house, which sells goods to communicate the availability of goods between the north and the south. The goods produced by Lin Yi can be sold by the trading house, and other goods can also be sold, including silk, grain, ironware, various household necessities, etc.
In ancient times, there was relatively little information in the three states and two prefectures. Let alone the distance between the north and the south, there was a big gap in the price of goods. In the past, goods traveling from the south to the north or goods from the north traveling south would make huge profits. Of course, we must seize the opportunity.
opportunity.
Lin Yi thought of a way to integrate the intelligence agency into the commercial bank system, raise a large number of carrier pigeons, and report economic information to various places at any time.
With this alone, it can crush all commercial banks in the country.
Not only can you make money from it, but you can also form a nationwide intelligence network and report on political and people's livelihood activities, which can be used at any time if anything happens in the future.
The transportation industry, in fact, the transportation industry in the Song Dynasty was already very developed, and water transportation was one of them, but robbers were still inevitable, and Shuibo Liangshan was one of them, but it was not the only one.
The transportation industry that Lin Yi plans to establish will mainly serve his royal trading house. Only the goods of the trading house will require a large number of transportation personnel. He plans to build a high-standard transportation enterprise with unified national standards, "royal operation", including short-distance transportation.
It can transport goods and people over long distances. If bandits and water thieves dare to take action, they will definitely send out an army to encircle and suppress them.
He believes,
The bandits and water bandits across the country will slowly be digested and absorbed by the royal operation, so that they can make money while managing the public security environment.
The environment is better,
It will be easier to make money and business will be more developed.
In addition, Lin Yi will also engage in steel smelting, development of coal use, etc., which also require strong operational capabilities.
In the end, it was natural to acquire artillery and bombs to improve the Song Dynasty's combat effectiveness.
Don't worry about the muskets for the time being. They are troublesome, impractical, and expensive. It is much more practical to get some more small cannons and use them to bombard the Jin Kingdom's cavalry than muskets.
The cavalry comes and goes like the wind.
I can blast you three thousand miles with my artillery.
If you set up a mine array, no chain of horses will work.
In the past, Lin Yi thought about starting a business, but at that time he didn't have the strength now, and he couldn't keep it. But now he can put all his ideas into practice and make trading companies popular all over the world.
And this royal trading house,
But it was also preparation for his later plans.
After the commercial bank stabilized, Lin Yi planned to start with finance, establish a national bank, and take over the issuance rights of Jiaozi.
Using imperial power, the pawnshop industry was nationalized, and it was decreed that usury was illegal, and other people were prohibited from lending money, including temples.
Finance is the most profitable.
Nowadays, many people keep their gold, silver and copper coins at home and pile them in cellars. With a bank, Lin Yi can provide interest to attract these people to deposit their useless gold and silver in the bank to collect interest.
By the time,
Commercial banks can also intervene in the purchase of grain from various places, and even achieve a monopoly. Grain control has an advantage in Lin Yi's hands. If a grain merchant in a certain place drives up prices, Lin Yi can use the large sum of grain in his hands to stabilize prices.
As for those unscrupulous grain merchants.
Just use your power to kill them, and then take away the food. If you don't make money properly, your life will be lost.
One hand of imperial power,
A hand of money.
Is there anything easier to make money than this?
As for the court.
Lin Yi's route is to suppress Cai Jing to govern the local area while cultivating his own power. Now Lin Yi has grown into a big banner. In the future, he will gather officials, slowly train them, and assign them to local areas, and he will naturally control the entire Song Dynasty.
officialdom.
Some people say that there were few capable ministers in the late Song Dynasty?
Lin Yi felt,
Loyalty is more important than ability.
In fact, the reason why Zhongshi Dao, Zhang Shuye, Zongze, and Li Gang became famous ministers in later generations was not because of the word "loyalty".
ability,
In fact, there are many ministers who are as capable as them. The main reason why they can keep their names is because of their loyalty.
Lin Yi has the skill of "this worship" and can cultivate countless loyal ministers like this, so he is not afraid that no one will be able to use him.
If you have a group of loyal ministers, you cannot govern the country well by repaying hatred.
The factory is producing,
Those who should be sent out have been sent out.
With leisure,
Lin Yi came to the Royal Hospital of the Imperial Palace and learned medical skills from the imperial doctors. There are 13 branches of traditional Chinese medicine, each of which is different in each dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, it was probably Dafangmai, Fengke, Xiaofangmai, acupuncture, moxibustion, mouth and teeth, throat, eyes, ears,
Sores, bruises, gold sores, book bans.
Among them, Book Banning can also be called Zhu Youke. The concept of "Zhu You" is very broad, including forbidden methods, incantations, blessing methods, talismans, as well as suggestion therapy, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, music therapy, etc.
Lin Yi sighed secretly after seeing it.
What a wonderful thing. Many of them have been lost in later generations. In some places, people can be called a miracle doctor by the villagers just by mastering a few small skills in the Zhu Youkeli forbidden method, conjuration method, and Zhu method.
If the true blessings are passed down, how many people can be benefited.
It's not all superstition.
For example, the way to treat mental illness is to use heart medicine to treat mental illness. The talk therapy, psychological suggestion therapy, etc. that Western medicine focuses on now existed in China thousands of years ago.
Let’s take the simplest example.
Some people are walking at night and feel that they encounter ghosts and are frightened. Let’s just say that there are no ghosts in the world. They are just frightened. However, ordinary doctors’ methods do not work. Zhu Youke draws a charm and recites a mantra to give you some psychological suggestions. You will feel
Once the ghost is exorcised, you will no longer be afraid, and the disease will be cured naturally. Isn't this not healing?
But this method will now be classified as a feudal superstitious activity.
What is science?
Is it called science if we don’t allow other things to exist?
If you only believe in science, Lin Yi thinks it is also a kind of superstition, scientific superstition.
The universe is magnificent and colorful, and the little we humans know is less than one billionth of a billion. Only one theory is allowed to exist. It is purely because some people are narrow-minded and have bad intentions.
Because there is too much content in the medical field, even if Lin Yi has photographic memory, he cannot learn that much at once. His goal is to focus on a few things for the time being.
Fengke.
Acupuncture, moxibustion.
and Zhu Youke.
Mainly these are effective in treating my mother’s hemiplegia due to stroke.
A month passed by, and Lin Yi's world time was up. He did not hesitate to choose to buy it. This world had not made enough money yet, and there were so many women waiting for his favor. How could he leave.
On this day,
The subordinates came over to report to Lin Yi.
Now their products have begun to be wholesaled. Sugar is sold to sugar shops, snowflake salt is sold to salt shops, soap and perfume are naturally sold to rouge and gouache shops, and glassware and glass mirrors are sold to curio shops.
"Sir, this month's share was snatched up by those shop owners in just half an hour. The payment amount can reach 1.5 million guan. It is not the peak season yet, and it is expected to reach more than 20 million guan throughout the year."
Lin Yi wasn't too excited after hearing this.
not enough,
Still a long way to go.
The main reason now is insufficient production capacity and the spread is still too small. It is estimated that if it is fully rolled out, it will have sales of 40 million to 50 million yuan each year, with profits of at least half.
certainly,
Lin Yi did not touch the profits of National Salt and Iron Tea.
It is already extraordinary to be able to increase income by more than 20 million yuan every year.
The next day,
Lin Yi wrote the memorial and handed it over to the court. The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was overjoyed after reading it and said to the ministers: "Lin Aiqing handles imperial business for me, and does not compete with the people for profit, nor does it conflict with salt, iron, and tea."
, which can increase my internal treasury revenue by 25 million yuan every year."
The officials in the main hall had naturally heard about Lin Yi's involvement in the imperial business for a long time, and many families, especially women, were clamoring to buy soap and perfume glass mirrors. You must know that glass mirrors are very expensive.
The mirror costs more than 200 strands, and the larger and more ornate ones cost over a thousand strands each.
How much is the salary of a normal official per year?
But that's it, those mirrors are in short supply, and I heard they've already been booked for next year.
People present were not surprised to hear that the imperial merchants could earn 25 million yuan a year, accounting for one-fifth of the fiscal revenue.
In fact, people from the Third Division and the Household Department were more willing to hear the news.
The emperor made his own money,
You don't have to desperately deduct money from the finances, and your life will be much easier.
Many ministers stood up to congratulate His Majesty. The Emperor smiled and nodded, looked at Lin Yi and said: "Qing Lin has made great contributions to the country. He will be promoted to the rank of Young Prime Minister. Lin Yi will be promoted to the position of Bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, the leader of the Shushe, and the deputy envoy of the Palace Front Department."
."
Many people were shocked.
This means less killing.
Lin Zhuangyuan is only twenty-seven years old, right?!
He was an official for only eight months.
He jumped to Shaozai and Prime Minister You in three steps. Now when they meet, they have to call Mr. Lin.
A few months ago, Wang Fu was dismissed from his post and investigated, and since then there has been no arrangement for a young master. Could it be that His Majesty has always reserved it for Lin Yi?
Someone actually guessed it right.
But they only guessed half of it right, that is, this position was reserved for themselves by Lin Yi.
After he becomes the Young Master, he will be a figure comparable to Cai Jing in the future. When he becomes a big tree, countless ministers will naturally come closer to him. This will make it easier for him to cultivate talents. When the people he cultivates spread, he will
He kicked Cai Jing away and naturally took over the position of prime minister.
Lin Yi plays with the imperial merchants.
On the one hand, you can make money, on the other hand, you can earn merit.
This way, there is a legitimate reason to ban Shaozai.
Now that he has been named Shao Zai, although these ministers are surprised, most of them still think it is reasonable.
After all, it is only natural that someone who can earn one-fifth of the country's fiscal revenue should be given the title of Shaozai.
Down towards the back.
Many people came to congratulate Lin Yi.
Even Cai Jing came over to congratulate.
Lin Yi smiled and returned the greeting.
Someone suggested that in order to celebrate Lin Yi's promotion, he should go to the most upscale restaurant in Bianjing to have a drink. Lin Yi smiled and went upstairs with his colleagues, and everyone had a good time chatting.
Lin Yi was promoted to the post of Shao Zai.
There are many rumors in Bianjing.
Some people say that Lin Yi will be another Wang Fu, or even another Cai Jing, a traitor who appears to be loyal, and a hypocrite who appears to be true. Now it seems that Lin Zhuangyuan is doing things for the country and the people, but who knows what he will be like when he takes power.
It will not change and start corruption and form cliques for personal gain.
However, some people also stood up to refute.
"People like Wang Fu, Zhu Meng, Liang Shicheng, and Yang Jian are all managed by Prime Minister Lin. At least everything Mr. Lin is doing now is for the country and the people. How can we speculate maliciously before doing anything harmful to the country?
"
For these,
Lin Yi didn't care.
He has a lot to do.
When he returned to the Lin Mansion that day, he saw a group of people waiting outside the Lin Mansion. When Lin Yi got off the sedan, a man in his thirties came forward and said, "I have met Mr. Lin."
Lin Yi looked this man up and down. He had a dignified appearance, bright eyes, splayed eyebrows, and was taller than himself. He was very strong.
Lin Yi already had a guess in his mind.
"Who are you?"
"Xianggong Lin, Lu Junyi of a certain family, received a letter from Xianggong, calling for a dozen disciples of Master Zhou to come over and serve." After saying this, he bowed down.
The group of men behind him also bowed together.
Lin Yixin deserves to be called Jade Qilin. He is indeed tall and majestic. In novels and TV shows, he is also the person who can fight against the most powerful warrior of the Jin Kingdom.
Lin Yi stepped forward to help him.
He smiled and said: "Get up quickly. We are classmates with Teacher Zhou. We are considered brothers. There is no need to be so polite. Everyone, please get up and go into the room to talk."
Everyone felt a lot more relaxed when they heard that Lin Yi was so approachable.
Living room conversation.
Lin Yi asked about these people.
One by one, they announced their homes.
The next day.
Lin Yi took them to the Dianqian Division and arranged them with Lin Chong and others. There were now more than a hundred people, and these people were all future generals he had trained.
Now that Lin Yi has been promoted to Shao Zai, these people only feel that their future is brighter.
A few more days.
When Lin Yi came home from get off work, Lin Youcai announced at the door, "Sir, an old Taoist priest and a junior Taoist priest have come to visit. They will bring your letter and I will arrange to wait in the living room."
Lin Yi happily strode through the door.
When I came to the living room, I saw an old Taoist with gray hair and plain clothes sitting in the guest seat. Behind the old Taoist, stood a young Taoist in his thirties.
When the old Taoist saw Lin Yi coming in, he stood up and raised his hands with a smile. Lin Yi cupped his hands and said, "But is Master Luo right now?"
"I have met Mr. Lin, and I am exactly the same as Pindao."
He pointed to the young Taoist priest behind him and said, "This is my disciple Gongsun Sheng."
Lin Yi applauded in his heart,
Suddenly Luo Zhenren and Gongsun Sheng both appeared.
After Lin Yi dealt with Li Shanlei, Yang Daoxuan, and Zhao Lingji, he thought of the real Luo in the original work. The original work records that this real Luo has great magic, can call for wind and rain, ride on the mist and soar into the clouds, predict the future, draw talismans and chant incantations to summon the yellow scarf warrior, he is a
A truly enlightened person.
Even his apprentice Gongsun Sheng performed very magically in the original work.
Lin Yi wrote a letter and sent people to search for Zhenren Luo's whereabouts, hoping to find him and learn his magic.
Unexpectedly, this Mr. Luo really came.
Lin Yi was startled by what Luo Zhenren said next, "Ms. Lin, Master Nephew Shanlei was very worried after he left Bianjing. He learned that I came to Bianjing to see Mr. Lin and wanted to ask for a favor.
, the previous matter will no longer be pursued, and he will not walk in the world of mortals again. From now on, he will only meditate in the mountains."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, I will have someone cancel the wanted order for Taoist Li Shanlei."
Master Luo bowed slightly to thank.
"I wonder what Mr. Lin has learned from calling the old Taoist here this time?" Zhenren Luo asked.
"I'll be honest with you, Master Luo. I heard that Master Luo's Taoism is profound. I am also very interested in Taoism. I hope to learn from it. I really don't know where the Changxian Mountain is, and I can't find it, so I asked someone to look for it." Lin Yi said.
Master Luo looked at Lin Yi, then nodded with a smile.
"Pindao is willing to accept Mr. Lin as his disciple."
Lin Yi was slightly surprised.
I didn't expect the other party to agree so readily and simply.
"Does the Taoist priest have any requirements? Lin will try his best to satisfy them." Lin Yi asked.
Master Luo shook his head.
"No need, no need, water will take care of itself naturally, melons will fall off naturally when they are ripe, everything is determined."
Lin Yi seemed to understand something, but also didn't seem to understand.
This old man,
It seems that I know something.
But he didn't say,
Lin Yi didn't ask either.
From that day on, Master Luo lived in the side house of Lin's family, put on the Three Purities, and established a Taoist hall. Lin Yi kowtowed to Sanqing, then to Master Luo, and formally bowed to the entrance wall.
The technique that Master Luo taught Lin Yi was called the Five Thunders Zhengfa. Lin Yi naturally knew that the Five Thunders Zhengfa was recorded in the Dao Zang and was the real method of becoming an immortal, and he had even recited it.
However, he found that the Five Thunder Technique taught by Master Luo was different from the Five Thunder Technique recorded in the book. Lin Yixin asked, could this be the authentic Five Thunder Technique?
Luo Zhenren preached.
Lin Yi listened cross-legged.
"These Five Thunder Techniques, after being practiced, can bring about all things, protect against misfortunes, fight against heavenly demons, eliminate plagues, capture heavenly demons, rescue lives, cure serious illnesses, rescue dead souls, control the land, pray for sunshine and rain, and control thunder.
It causes rain, cuts down altars and destroys temples, no need to report it, especially it has miraculous effects on demons, spirits, ghosts and monsters."
"The Five Thunder Zhengfa refers to sky thunder, land mine, water thunder, divine thunder, and social thunder. Each of the five thunders has different uses. I will teach you the practice formula now."
Lin Yi has a photographic memory.
Master Luo only said it once and then wrote it all down. When Master Luo took the exam, Lin Yi's answer was exactly what he said.
Master Luo sighed: "It turns out you have a photographic memory. No wonder you got the top prize."
The formulas taught by Master Luo were very mysterious, and Lin Yi did not understand many of them. Master Luo explained step by step, how to breathe, how to perform the exercises, etc.
After the explanation,
Master Luo asked Lin Yi to sit down again, put one palm on his back, and circulated the true energy into Lin Yi's body. Lin Yi felt that this true energy seemed to have a trace of electricity, making him feel numb all over.
"This Five Thunder Method, on the one hand, cultivates the five internal organs internally, and on the other hand, absorbs the power of thunder and lightning from the outside. It is best practiced during the Waking of Insects every year, when the heaven and earth thunder and everything revives. At that time, the power of thunder and lightning in the heaven and earth is also the most abundant."
"There are also thunderstorms, but you have to be extremely careful when practicing during thunderstorms. Before you reach a certain level of cultivation, you cannot be directly hit by thunder and lightning, otherwise your internal organs will not be able to withstand the power of thunder and lightning and you will be killed."
"And if you want to go further in your cultivation after reaching great success, you need to find a place with the most thunder and lightning. It is best to receive the baptism of thunder and lightning every day."
Lin Yi suddenly thought of Wudang Mountain Thunder Fire Alchemy Palace, and wondered if it had anything to do with the Five Thunder Method.
After listening to the class,
Lin Yi returned to his residence.
Thinking about cultivation.
Jingzhe, that will be next year. Let’s wait until it rains and thunders to practice. Look at the clear sky. Bianjing doesn’t get many heavy rains in a year. How long will it take?
The ancients didn't understand thunder and lightning, so they had to wait, but they had their own methods. The saying "knowledge is power" was more practical in ancient times.
No electricity,
It's over if we get the electricity ourselves.
The next day,
Lin Yi came to the Ministry of Industry and ordered the craftsmen to make a batch of white lead and silver discs. White lead is also called zinc, also called water tin. It has been in China for a long time. He also made a batch of copper wires. If you know a little bit about it, you can
I know, Lin Yi is going to make a voltaic battery.
This battery is very simple. There is a layer of zinc sheets and a layer of silver sheets, with a wet cloth containing salt water in the middle. Stack them layer by layer to make a battery. Add copper wires to both ends to output electricity.
If there is a light bulb, Lin Yi will get a lighting lamp out.
Grab the wire with both hands.
"Uh uh uh uh uh~~~"
Oh shit,
Made too much.
The electricity was so strong that Lin Yi shivered from the electricity.
I asked the workers to get a smaller size again, and this time it felt just right, with just a tingling feeling.
Take it home.
Lin Yi sat cross-legged, held the end of the wire with both hands and began to practice. He only felt a current rushing into his body. Lin Yi quickly activated his true energy. The true energy and electricity merged and began to flow along the meridians. Lin Yi once again experienced Luo Zhenren's feelings.
That feeling when you demonstrated it to him.
That's right,
It seems I got it right.
After practicing like this for a month, he went to work every day, stayed in the harem at night to practice Panlong Kung Fu, listened to Master Luo's lectures, and practiced secretly with a battery. That day Lin Yi found Master Luo.
"Teacher, I feel that my true energy already has the properties of thunder and lightning." Lin Yi said.
Mr. Luo was very surprised.
"How could it be so fast? It took me three years of practice to cultivate the lightning properties of my true essence. It took Sheng'er five years to complete this step. How could you complete it in one month? Come and try me."
Lin Yi pressed against Zhenren Luo's palm and circulated his true energy.
Master Luo was really shocked this time.
"Ah, you have really succeeded in cultivation. You are really a genius in practicing the Five Thunder Method. It seems that this method is suitable for you to practice. You will achieve great success in the future. I am very lucky to be my teacher."
Master Luo was very satisfied to have accepted such a talented disciple as his disciple.
Next to him, Gongsun Sheng looked at Lin Yi and felt very jealous. He had worked so hard and followed his master for more than ten years, and now he had just achieved success. Looking at the person in front of him, he had only been practicing for a month and had already started. I'm afraid it wouldn't take more than a year.
Can catch up with myself.
It's really irritating to see people compare to each other.
Subsequently,
Master Luo explained all the methods of using the Five Thunder Technique to Lin Yi again, and then began to teach him how to draw the Five Thunder Talisman seal script.
The Five Thunder Talisman can cure diseases.
Even more effective than acupuncture, Lin Yi thought about his mother's illness. If he could practice the Five Thunder Techniques in the real world, would he be able to cure his mother quickly?
His idea became stronger and stronger.
So he became more serious about studying.
There are seventy-two types of Five Thunder Talismans, each with different functions, including drawing talismans, pinching formulas and incantations. Lin Yi has the ability of photographic memory and calligraphy ability. He is like a fish in water. He can master it as soon as he learns it, which makes Luo Zhenren like it more and more.
certainly,
Lin Yi's true energy cultivation is not enough now, and he cannot even draw the lowest level of talisman seals. However, he has learned the skill and he believes that he will be able to complete it one day.
This night.
Lin Yi asked the Golden Lotus and Anemone to wait on him. When he started to perform the Panlong Kung Fu, the two women felt it was wonderful. Lin Yi suddenly wanted to try it. When performing the Coiling Dragon Kung Fu, he brought a little thunder and lightning power. Jinlian hugged Lin Yi and couldn't help but tremble.
.
"Master, slave family. slave family. slave."
Lin Yi discovered that the effect of Panlong Gong training was even better.
