"It turns out to be a token." Liu Wei carefully put away the folding fan.
"You are walking around the world as a foreigner, do you have a dharma title?"
"We can't give him a name yet." Liu Zheng scratched his head, "But there is a nickname, called 'Liu Mumu'."
Wang Yehao was very happy after hearing this: "It just fits the order of the Five Elements. The 'Gold and Stone' is already in the house. From now on, you will be called the 'Taoist of Wood and Stone'."
"Thank you, sir, for giving me the title." Liu Ming bowed his hands and bowed.
"You must know that there is no shortage of people to use in my house. There is a reason why I want to use you."
"Yes, I understand, little one!"
"Don't break off the relationship between your brothers in the yamen and the outside world."
Liu Wei knew that Mr. Wang was interested in his connections in the Zhenfu Division. It seemed that Mr. Wang had a big agenda. However, as long as it was not a rebellion, it didn't matter what he was doing. He had been working in the Zhenfu Division for many years.
, can be regarded as "bold" and "careful", knowing that as long as you are on the wrong team, being bold is actually an advantage.
"Yes, but it depends on your orders."
"Okay." Wang Yehao called the other party forward and whispered, "Go to the city to find a house. It must be remote and quiet, and settle the two maids there."
"Sir, what is this?" Liu Zheng's face was full of doubts. Based on the situation just now, it didn't look like he wanted to hide his beauty in a golden house.
"No need to ask any more questions, just take care of it now and worry about it later."
"I understand, little one."
After giving instructions, Wang Yehao did not let Liu Zhen leave. Instead, he took out a book from the desk compartment and asked, "Can you read the incantation in the book?"
Before Wang Yehao wrote down the password in the notepad and returned it to Mr. Zhou, he secretly copied a copy. Over the past year, whenever he had time, he secretly took it out to study, but unfortunately he never found the method.
Liu Wei read it for a long time and could only shake his head: "I'm sorry, but I have never learned such a mantra."
"no idea?"
"There are thousands of spells in the world, and each sect has its own secret technique. I don't know where you got this book. If you know the sect, maybe I can find someone to interpret it."
"It's really a coincidence. I don't know where this thing comes from. If you don't know, just pretend that I haven't asked about it and don't mention it again." Wang Yehao put the book away again, "Go to the accounting room to get one.
One hundred taels of silver, let's go and do some work."
Liu Zheng snorted, got up and left.
Wang Yehao watched "Mu Shi" leave, thoughtfully. Recruiting more and more people was helpful, but the family's expenses also increased. Especially in the past two years, in order to survive the turbulent government situation
To grasp the direction, he spent a lot of money. When he was on an imperial mission to Guangdong, he collected a lot of money. After all, he lost a lot of money.
The Wang family can be regarded as a family of officials, but in the past two generations, there were not many officials, and there was not much accumulation of family wealth. He himself has been a Beijing official for a long time and has not been sent to other places. Therefore, he is quite concerned about "open source".
However, there is no one in the family who has a business mind, and the merchants can only receive some filial piety for their contributions. In addition, the income from land rent is certainly rich compared to ordinary people, but it is still far from rich. He and Zhou Xianren are idle
While we were chewing our teeth, we also talked about the art of pottery and Zhu. Immortal Zhou was very arrogant, saying that as long as he got the Mirror of Heaven and Earth, he could turn stone into gold. No matter how much money he had, he could turn it into gold.
This universe mirror seems to exist and not exist, so it is impossible to say for sure, but Immortal Zhou did talk about some ways of making a living.
The first is to make wine. The Shaoxing area is famous for wine making, and the Wang family also has a small winery. But making wine requires good water. To make wine in Shaoxing, the best thing to use is Jianhu water. However, the lake water is limited, so the winery cannot use it.
There are many. The Wang family’s winery cannot be monopolized.
Shaoxing, Jinhua, and Dongyang are mountainous and have a mild climate. There is no shortage of grain or high-quality water for making wine. The most famous high-end rice wine of the Ming Dynasty, Jinhua Liquor, comes from this area. However, the winemaking industry requires a lot of water, and the water quality is good and the amount is sufficient.
There are not many water sources in the country, and it is troublesome to simply expand the scale of wine making or set up a new winery. There is no such talent in Wang Yehao's family dedicated to this purpose.
Mr. Zhou's idea is different from his. The category of rice wine has been over-produced in the Ming Dynasty. Emperors and common people drank it. There are many places of production, such as Shanxi, Shandong, Nanzhi, Zhejiang, etc. Yellow rice wine is produced.
Regardless of taste or grade, they are already full. So his idea is to make liquor - which is also called "fire wine"
However, liquor has a pungent taste and a high alcohol content. The customer base is not large, and most of them are lower-class people. Especially military men and low-level laborers. Therefore, it cannot be sold at a high price, and Wang Yehao sneered.
However, Mr. Zhou said that it was not a problem, saying that he had a way to make liquor that tasted better, used better grains, and was not too demanding on water quality. He also said that as long as the cost is low and the market is wide, he will naturally make a lot of money if he sells more.
.
"Now the imperial court is deploying troops in Liaodong. It is a bitterly cold place. The soldiers are guarding the border and cannot have a few sips of burning knives to warm themselves up. If each of these more than 100,000 troops can drink half a liang or one liang in a month, how much can they sell?
?”
Then he talked about many ways to make money, such as matches, spices, monosodium glutamate, revolving chairs, cosmetics, perfumes, dyes, medicines... there were no less than twenty or thirty kinds, and he also talked about building windmills and waterwheels, smelting steel, burning
Lime is used to make caustic soda...Wang Yehao was confused and thought it was nonsense.
However, he was somewhat moved by the gentleman's "nonsense". There were many things that made people tempted just by hearing his descriptions. If they really had to be made, would they still worry about selling them?
When I returned to my hometown this time, someone happened to want to sell a farm in Dongyang at a low price. The farm is located in a mountainous area. Although there are not many fields, it has abundant water and rich mountain and forest resources. If Mr. Zhou really has Tao Zhu's skills, he will operate here.
It's a suitable place. After all, once the operation takes off, someone will definitely try to steal the secret skills.
Therefore, he quickly spent money to buy it and used it as a secret stronghold. Except for his close family members, no one else knew that he had another property in Dongyang.
Speaking of which, Mr. Zhou is very interested in secret investigation techniques. It is said that Zhou Lezhi and Liu Zhao reported that since he learned that Liu Zhao was the Jinyiwei detective, he often asked Liu Zhao to tell him about Jinyiwei and Beizhen.
What happened in Fusi was beyond Liu Zhao's expectation. He knew a lot about the history of our company. Not to mention ordinary people, even low-level personnel like Liu Zhao had never heard of it.
Especially after hearing many anecdotes known by the "immortal", Wang Yehao knew that his so-called origin of going to sea with the Three Treasures eunuch and being in danger to practice Taoism was pure nonsense. If he had stayed overseas for so many years, how could he know this? ?
Zhou Xianren also had many unique views on the investigation of crimes. Liu Zhao did not elaborate on these, but judging from his expression, he expressed some admiration.
Unexpectedly, this immortal is really a man of many talents. Not only does he predict the future, but he also knows a lot about various things. He even knows a thing or two about catching spies. He even makes Liu Zhao feel powerful. This makes Mr. Wang even more confused about him. Here's the story.
Even though Immortal Zhou had great supernatural powers, which brought him many benefits, Mr. Wang always felt like he had a thorn in his back.
I don’t know why, but Zhou Xianren always has an indescribable temperament about him.
"This man is definitely not a thing in the pool!" he thought to himself.
But if we say he has the temperament of a bastard or a hero, we can't say that. In short, Mr. Wang finds it difficult to control him.
"There must be some evidence." He said to himself.
However, this week the Immortal is alone and has no family records to retrieve. The only thing he treasures most is a Universe Mirror. However, this Universe Mirror has not been found until now.
He has no relatives, no house, no calligraphy and painting... After careful calculation, this man has nothing. Apart from being afraid of death, there is really nothing to do with him.
Since you want to use him, you can't put a knife on his neck all the time. Wang Yehao is not Zhu Yuanzhang. He knows that just threatening to kill people can only make people passive and slow down work, and it is absolutely impossible to make people work hard and actively do their jobs well.
All he could think of was to use women to seduce her, and it would be best to give birth to a son and a half daughters for him. With his own flesh and blood, he would not be able to help but disobey.
However, although the two maids Yui and Zhiling spent a lot of time with Mr. Zhou, and listened to Zhou Lezhi's reports, Mr. Zhou often scolded the two maids, and sometimes used this to amuse themselves during the day when they had nothing to do. However, they never looked pregnant.
It stands to reason that the second maid is still in her youth, and Mr. Zhou's appearance and body look like she is only in her early thirties. No matter how you look at it, she should not be empty at the knees.
During this period, Mr. Wang also asked a doctor to secretly check and regulate the second maid's pulse. According to the doctor, the second maid's kidney yang, kidney yin, qi and blood... had no major problems. Although he also prescribed some medicine for conditioning, there was no news at all. .
If one person cannot get pregnant, it may be the woman's problem. If both maids are not pregnant, it is most likely Mr. Zhou's problem.
If this is the case, no matter how many women you send to him, it will not help. You have to heal yourself up with him, but this person has already gone to Guangzhou.
Wang Yehao couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately summoned Liu Ying to discuss the matter.
"I called you here to discuss, not for other reasons, but for Mr. Zhou," Wang Yehao sighed. "He has been in my house for a long time, and he has been very helpful. But he is empty at the knees. Although he gave him two maids, he has been No good news…”
All his words can be put on the table, even if someone told Mr. Zhou, half of them were found to be wrong.
The Beisi prosecutors like Liu Zheng are the most sweet-hearted. He understood what the master meant when he heard it. He smiled and said: "Sir, what's so difficult about this? Along with the children, not only the biological ones can inherit the incense..."
"You are right." Mr. Wang nodded secretly. This Liu Zhen is indeed a smart man!
"Is there a suitable child? The one who is safe and has no worries is the one."
"If the master has any instructions, I can just go and do it," Liu Zheng said. "I wonder if it's a boy or a girl?"
"He is still young and will probably have biological children in the future. Since he is the son of a borer, let's choose a girl."
