The banquet was exquisite.

Yang Shixiang's family came from the rich land of Guangdong, and their knowledge of enjoyment was much higher than that of the local gentry and wealthy people.

Recently, I have a lot of money on hand, and the enjoyment has also increased.

There are not many dishes on the banquet, but they are very exquisite, and the wine is also specially bought from the mainland - this is a high-end wine often drunk by rich people in the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Shixiang let the apprentice who served him burn the wine and then beat him out, leaving only him and Liu San in the study - he had something urgent to talk to Liu San.

Since Yang Shixiang and Liu San formed a joint venture, the trading has become bigger and bigger, which can be called a daily profit.

Because of this, he became more and more concerned about the movements within the traversal group.

The Australian is not only his investor, key client and jishu guide, but also his backer.

The rise and fall of Australians also determines the prospects of Runshitang to some extent.

Liu San often comes to Runshitang because of the manufacturing and sales of Chinese patent medicines, but he rarely has the opportunity to sit down and chat casually to inquire about the news.

?? Yang Shixiang was anxious to know the details of the "maid **".

This matter is not as secret as the public imagined, in fact, within a few days, rumors came out that Australians had made trouble within themselves for women's affairs.

Some people even said that the reason why there was a disturbance was because each of the leaders inside begged for dozens of wives, but the people below did not.

Some people also say that Australians are not short of women, but because everyone is competing for a woman who looks like a fairy, and they are jealous? Yang Shixiang was very surprised by this news, because he didn't expect Australians to have no women! Every ten days and a half months, Bopu Port will transport one or two boatloads of refugees, including many women, Australians at best no more than a thousand, each person can always get a share.

His sworn brother Liu San has a wife, and he also gave a gift to Wuyunhua at the beginning, which was very shocked by the robustness and momentum of Australian women.

He vaguely felt that this righteous brother was probably a little afraid of guilt.

After three rounds of drinking, Yang Shixiang finally asked about this matter vaguely.

Liu San was stunned, this matter has actually spread to the county seat, it is really a good thing that does not go out and a bad thing spreads thousands of miles.

He nodded slightly: "It is true." ”

"The result?" Yang Shixiang hurriedly asked.

"Everybody rejoices."

When Liu San said this, he didn't look happy at all, which made Yang Shixiang puzzled.

"Look at my brother's appearance, there is no joy."

Liu San drank a few glasses of wine and couldn't help but complain about his girlfriend.

This kind of complaint can be experienced by any man.

"It turns out that concubines are not allowed."

Yang Shixiang looked at the younger brother who was a little decadent, and thought to himself that this was not a matter.

He said, "What's so hard about that?" Since you are not allowed to marry and go home, you can just buy another family business outside. ”

Liu San was stunned, he didn't expect him to make such a suggestion.

After hesitating, he shook his head: "No, it is not allowed to buy a house outside Bairen City at the moment, and then say-" Besides, if this kind of bold and reckless thing is known to his wife, he will not immediately call the door and make a storm in the city.

Thinking about it, he felt that it was completely unfeasible.

Of course, there are no organizations such as the Women's Federation here to support Wuyunhua, and the women in the crowd are not only few people, but they can't talk about how united and harmonious they are with each other, and there will probably be no one to help Wuyunhua except Du Wen.

Liu Sanxian, in terms of gender relations, in fact, he can do whatever he wants.

But if this is the case, the relationship between the two over the years will be completely destroyed, and Liu San is very unbearable about it.

"Forget it, let's let the little brother figure it out slowly."

He said listlessly.

Yang Shixiang originally had an idea: if Liu Sanzhen had this idea, his wife's family had relatives in Zhangzhou who had recently crossed the sea to join him.

There are a few girls in the family who have reached the right age, and it is not difficult to say that one of them will come over and be a concubine for Liu San.

Liu San was unwilling, and Yang Shixiang didn't mention it much.

He was anxious to know: had the Australians been fatally affected by this uproar? You must know that there are many rumors outside, some say that there is a fight between Australians, and there are corpses everywhere in the city; It is said that the leader of the Australians put on a banquet, deceived the troublemakers and threw a cup as a trumpet, put a musket in both compartments, and killed hundreds of people at once; There are also people who have all the main leaders who have been killed, and there are another group of people who are now in power...... There is a rumor that is particularly close to the truth: the Dongmen official who is in charge of Dongmen City rebelled, and led his men to try to rush into Bairen City, and the two sides exchanged guns at the city gate, and the Dongmen officials were outnumbered and all were killed.

There are also people who say that the guns in Bairen City have been fired all night...... The natives were not very familiar with Dugu's marriage proposal, and Zhang Guanli wore it on the head of the East Gate Blowing Rain, and the East Gate Blowing Rain disappeared from the East Gate City after being transferred away, adding a credible color to this rumor.

Liu San heard that the rumors outside were so powerful, and he couldn't help frowning--what is the General Administration of Political Security doing, doesn't this kind of rumor seriously affect the image of Wei Guangzheng of the crossing group! He had to spend a lot of effort to explain to Yang Shixiang that these were all rumors.

As for the tour-travel and the like, this kind of thing is nothing, not only is Liliang who has crossed the group not damaged, but it will be even stronger after this turmoil.

For this reason, he had to explain the electoral system and the basic political system of crossing the group, so as not to be incomprehensible to his brother-in-law.

After a long explanation, Yang Shixiang calmed down - he was not interested in the political system, but he knew from Liu San's words that this was just a "literary fight", and he did not hurt his vitality by fighting a big fight.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's because I'm too worried."

It's good that it doesn't hurt your vitality. ”

Liu San mentioned to him Jihua who was prescribing new medicines.

He planned to make two summer medicines, Ten Drops of Water and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, in the next step, and also try to make Feng Youjing.

They are all medicines urgently needed by Kaiyulin.

Yang Shixiang was convinced of every new drug proposed by Liu San for trial production.

Now that the business of Chinese patent medicine is so good, he has to consider moving the pharmaceutical factory from the city to the "private enterprise park" outside Bairen City.

Runshitang's workshop is already busy.

"Of course it's good."

Liu San thought that he had this plan in the first place, in the past, he only continued to set up the factory in Runshitang for convenience, but now since you want to propose it yourself, it would be better.

"Now that I have a few dollars in my hand, my brother wants to build a big workshop like your Australia! Good haode to do a big job. ”

Yang Shixiang was extremely impressed by the Australian factory.

After a few glasses of wine, he became a little excited, and he was in a very happy mood lately: his cousin Yang Shiyi's attitude had changed greatly, and he not only wrote letters and gifts frequently, but was also much more polite in his words -- even Liu Benshan, the old steward he had sent to take care of the business in Foshan, was very polite.

Moreover, it has repeatedly said that there is no need to use cash for purchases, and the amount of account can be increased.

Yang Shixiang, who has been looked down upon by his relatives all the year round, can be regarded as raising his eyebrows.

The impression that working with Australians can do big things has been etched in his brain.

Now that I have heard that the vitality of the Australians is not hurt, I still have to stay in Lingao, and I can still do a great job with this righteous brother.

"Brother Fool wants to install your kind of machine in the factory," Yang Shixiang said, "The last time Brother Fool went to the mill to see your water mill, it was really fast and good."

Everyone says that you Australians are the most ingenious, and you also have machines for making medicine, right? "The machine does have a reward."

Liu... Head, he had long wanted to start a pharmaceutical factory that used machine-assisted processing, instead of manual operations like now, and now Runshitang employs more than 20 pharmacists, as well as a dozen casual workers and apprentices.

If mechanically assisted production is used, the number of personnel can be reduced by two-thirds.

The labor savings can be used to expand reproduction.

The old pharmacist has been in contact with medicinal materials for a long time and is familiar with the pharmacology of medicinal properties, so it is obviously a waste to do such simple manual labor all the time.

"Don't know which machines you want?" Yang Shirun was very interested in machine production, but he had no idea what kind of machinery was needed to process medicinal materials.

"There are many machines, and there are all kinds of machines."

Liu San thought that he had to come forward to apply for this.

Equipment for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals should be given priority for manufacturing.

However, Runshitang is a joint venture, I don't know how the price will be approved? I had to foreshadow first: "The price may not be cheap." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's expensive, as long as it's easy to use—if the silver is earned in vain, it won't give birth to a little silver!" Yang Shixiang has money in his hands, and when he speaks, he can't help but show a taste of squirrel.

"Big brother has such a meaning, I'll do it when I go back."

Liu San was very excited, this is a typical example, a model of cooperation between indigenous capitalists and the crossing group.

The people on the executive committee will definitely be good to haode to give some policies for future publicity, and maybe they will set up a "model".

It's a positive example, and everything is really easy to do.

In fact, whether Runshitang can become a "typical" has little to do with Liu San in essence - Liu San, the shareholder, is nominal, and the real shareholder is the crossing group itself.

But he still hopes that Runshitang can become bigger and stronger.

Become a pharmaceutical giant in the new shijie.

Liu San and Yang Shixiang's alliance began only for the purpose of strengthening cooperation.

However, for most of the year, he and Yang Shixiang have studied pharmacology, exchanged medical skills, and also went out to purchase medicinal materials and run businesses together, and a deep friendship has been established between the two.

And the whole family of the righteous brother cares for him, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, just like a real family.

This made Liu San feel warm.

He naturally has to pay attention to the interests of this righteous brother.

"This is Brother Lao Xian."

Yang Shixiang said excitedly, "I'll take care of Steward Liu and find some more workers from Foshan." Liu Benshan is now the manager of Runshitang in Foshan, and he is in charge of Runshitang's affairs in Guangdong.
