Chen Xuan and Sun Yuan were sitting at the square table drinking tea and chatting.
"Chen Xuan, Lingye's boss is looking for me. I just came from Tianxiang Restaurant."
After taking a sip of tea, Sun Yuan slowly spoke.
"Ling Ye catches the head."
Chen Xuan listened and waited for Sun Yuan's next words.
"He wants to join your Jufu Tower. Let me come and talk to you."
Sun Yuan didn't mince words and said directly.
"How to join a gang?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"Ninety percent of Jufulou's profits will be handed over, and he guarantees that no one will dare to cause trouble to Jufulou."
Sun Yuan opened his mouth and said.
"Ninety percent, then I won't be able to work?" Chen Xuan looked a little ugly, and then said: "This Lingye has a huge appetite. He is just the head catcher in the East District. His words can be used in the North District. The North District's
Will the gang give him face?"
"Of course Lingye, the leader, can't eat 90% of the money." Sun Yuan thought for a while, and then said: "I estimate that a large part of the money is going to the county captain."
"County Lieutenant?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that this small restaurant business could alarm such a big shot as the county captain.
"Yes, you are the county captain." Sun Yuan nodded, and then said: "You also know that the patrol team was only temporarily established. Before, our salary was paid by the government, but now that the situation has gradually stabilized, the government has
The patrol team was to be cancelled, but the county captain did not agree. The reason was that the banditry had not been eliminated and the situation was not stable.
After the county captain argued hard, the patrol team was retained. However, the chief bookkeeper in charge of the money and food refused to pay the patrol team's salary because there was no money in the bank, leaving the county captain to pay for it out of his own pocket.
, so the county captain is also short of money."
"Lord County Lieutenant, you want to imitate Hedao County Magistrate!"
Hearing that the county lieutenant paid for it himself and wanted to keep the patrol team, Chen Xuan guessed some of the county lieutenant's intentions.
More than ten years ago, water bandits were rampant in the water area of Qingshui County. Hedao County Magistrate also used this opportunity to form a river patrol team. Later, the banditry was solved. Hedao County Magistrate continued to retain the river patrol team on the grounds of cleaning up rivers and repairing canals.
I heard that the magistrate of Hedao County paid his salary out of his own pocket for a while.
Although the Hedao Patrol Team was eventually cancelled, it just changed its name and became the Tianhe Gang. There are many industries under the Tianhe Gang, but everyone knows that the master behind these industries is the Hedao County Cheng.
What the county captain wants now is an industry that can bring in a steady stream of money so that he can support the patrol team.
At that time, even if the patrol team is really cancelled, it can directly change its skin and become a gang like the river patrol team, which can be compared with the Tianhe Gang, the largest gang in Qingshui County.
With the county captain guarding the place, no one would dare to cause trouble in the Jufu Tower.
"Captain, can you see the county captain?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"You want to bypass Ling Ye's arrest and talk directly to the county captain?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yuan guessed what Chen Xuan meant.
"Since Ling Ye can't cover up the arrest himself, why should he be allowed to be a middleman to make a profit? Wouldn't it be better for me to talk to the county captain myself?"
Chen Xuan said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, he calmly handed over a banknote worth one hundred taels.
"I can try it with the head catcher in the North District, but..." Sun Yuan was halfway through his words when Chen Xuan understood what he meant. He handed over a hundred taels of silver note and said, "Don't worry, I understand the rules. This is for you."
Headhunter from the North District."
Ling Ye was too greedy and wanted to take away 90% of his profits.
Naturally, Chen Xuan would not let Ling Ye, a black-hearted middleman, make the difference.
"Then leave it to me."
Sun Yuan accepted the banknote without leaving any trace, nodded.
In comparison, Ling Ye was really stingy.
He was asked to do the work and only had a meal without giving him a tael of silver. Naturally, he was more inclined to help Chen Xuan.
Although Ling Ye is the head catcher and belongs to his superior, he is the head catcher of the East District, not the head catcher of the North District. Strictly speaking, he has no authority to order him to do things.
He may listen or not.
…
…
The next day.
Chen Xuan came out of the county captain's mansion.
The county captain is worthy of being a county captain. He is much more organized than Ling Ye, so he was directly given a two-cent dividend.
These two dividends are not just a restaurant like Jufulou. Since medicinal food and wine are so profitable, the county captain wants to open branches in the East District, South District and West District to completely monopolize the high-end restaurant market.
As a result, one month's profit may exceed ten thousand taels of silver.
No wonder being able to become a county lieutenant not only has structure, but also stands high and sees far.
Once you monopolize the high-end restaurant market in the county town, even if you only have a 20% dividend, you will still have 2,000 taels of silver.
He does not need to be responsible for the operation of the restaurant, personnel management, etc. He only needs to teach the restaurant's chef how to make medicated wine, and research new medicated dishes when he has time.
In order to give Chen Xuan time to teach the chef how to make medicinal food and wine, the county lieutenant transferred him to the logistics department of the patrol team and made him captain of the logistics department, which was considered a promotion.
The government has a logistics yard in each square, which can be large or small. It can be used as a supply point for patrol teams or as a temporary resting place. Moreover, the logistics yard is always manned by people, so that it can receive help from surrounding residents as soon as possible.
After being transferred to the Logistics Institute, Chen Xuan moved from the front to the backstage.
He doesn't need to go out on patrol every day, so he stays in the logistics yard and teaches the restaurant chef how to make medicinal food, medicinal wine, etc. In the process of teaching others, his proficiency is also gradually improving.
Of course, he never fell behind in practicing martial arts every day.
As the captain of the Logistics Institute, and in the name of researching medicinal foods and wines, he had people obtain many precious medical books. It is said that they are family heirlooms of some doctors and have never been passed down to others.
But under the power, these doctors still have to bow their heads.
Chen Xuan even obtained some medicinal materials for refining the Purple Jade Bone Cleansing Pill through the Logistics Institute.
The next level of the Yijin Realm is the Bone Tempering Realm.
The secret medicine used in the Bone Tempering Realm is the Purple Jade Bone Cleansing Pill, which is much more expensive than the secret medicine in the Yijin Realm. One pill costs five taels of silver. Although Chen Xuan has not yet reached the Bone Tempering Realm, he will soon.
This is to prepare for a rainy day. Let’s first analyze the formula of Purple Jade Bone Cleansing Pill.
Chen Xuan was afraid of attracting attention, so he did not purchase too much at once, and he purchased them separately. However, unless he was a pharmacist who knew the formula of Purple Jade Bone Cleansing Pill, he would not know the functions of these medicinal materials combined.
Next, it’s time to repeat the cycle again.
In addition to practicing martial arts, Chen Xuan read medical and medicinal books, absorbed new medical knowledge, and then refined medicine, analyzed the ingredients of the Purple Jade Bone Cleansing Pill, and experimented again and again. After work, he went to the secret house he rented to study poisons.
