It costs money to expand the army and train the troops, especially if Lin Ziran still wants to train the troops according to the regular army, it will cost even more money.

In order to solve the problem of money, Lin Ziran also thought of many ways, but many of them did not work, and in the end he could only engage in the simplest trade business.

To put it bluntly, it is to be a second-class dealer!

Lin Ziran has always been a person who does it when he has a plan, otherwise he would not have made a series of things and become the current situation.

On the same day, he called a few of his subordinates over, and then said that he wanted to set up a trading firm.

This is just starting out, and it is naturally the easiest to be a second-tier dealer.

He is the battalion officer of the patrol battalion of Qingshan Town, and he is also a bandit leader, with more than 300 horses under his hands, and it is difficult to say about other industries, but it is quite simple to be a second-class dealer.

However, it is a bit troublesome to just do it yourself, after all, there are a group of bandits under him, but few people know how to do business, so Lin Ziran called other gentry in Qingshan Town to do it together.

There is money to earn together!

So in less than two days, Qingshan Commercial Bank was officially established, and the major shareholder was naturally Lin Ziran himself, and several other small shareholders were all gentry in the town, including Boss Wang.

This Boss Wang still has a bit of vision, and when he saw that Lin Ziran was going to engage in a commercial house, he also followed in.

After the establishment of Qingshan Commercial Bank, there were naturally those gentry and businessmen who did it, but Lin Ziran only talked about it and didn't do it, well, in fact, he didn't even pay much.

But Lin Ziran also played his role, that is, to provide protection for this commercial house!

Especially the vital protection of trade routes!

The purchase of goods, and then the sale of goods to various villages in the countryside, naturally it is inevitable that the goods will be transported.

And there are a lot of bandits of all kinds in these years, including him Lin Ziran himself is a bandit leader, and this person who has no strength can transport goods to Qingshan Town at all, and there is no way to transport them to the vast countryside.

To put it bluntly, what Lin Ziran provides is actually a kind of bodyguard service!

The dignified Qingshan Town Patrol Camp instantly turned into a Qingshan Town Dart Company, escorting the caravans of Qingshan Commercial Bank to various places.

However, when a second-way dealer, and a second-way dealer whose sales network is only limited to Qingshan Town, Lin Ziran saw that it was still a small fight, and he couldn't make a lot of money.

After all, the scale of Qingshan Town is not large, there are only about 1,000 residents in the town, and it is estimated that there are only about a few thousand people in the countryside outside.

At this time, Lin Ziran set his eyes on the oil lamp on the table.

This is a whale oil lamp, this lamp is not the key, the key is this whale oil!

At first, he didn't notice it, but soon he learned that the whale oil cost more than 50 constant cents per liter.

One yuan is equal to 1.6 grams of pure gold, and one yuan is equal to 100 cents, and the price of more than 50 constant cents can be said to be extremely expensive.

It is said that in the early years, whale oil was about ten constants, but with the last twenty or thirty years of the Daheng civil war, many whaling ships have been used for military purposes, and the number of whales has begun to decrease in recent years, resulting in a sky-high price of whale oil.

Lin Ziran paid attention to this whale oil, not that he wanted to engage in this whale oil business, but that he wanted to engage in kerosene.

A few days ago, I escorted the supplies to the north, and when I returned, because of lack of time, I finally came back with a torch, and Lin Ziran knew that the torch was soaked in oil.

It's just that I've been busy these days, so I haven't thought much about it, but today I accidentally glanced at the oil lamp on the table a few times.

He just remembered the oil soaked in the torch the other day.

Why do you think of oil?

Nature is for kerosene!

Lin Ziran is very clear that kerosene is a very important lighting fuel in modern times, and it is easy to refine kerosene from petroleum by distillation.

Combined with the fact that the torches used a few days ago were soaked in oil, Lin Ziran speculated that there might be oil in the nearby area.

Thinking of this, Lin Ziran couldn't help it, and said directly to Luo Mazi on the side: "When we escorted the supplies a few days ago, what about the torches we used when we came back?" Get the torches out."

In order to prevent him from taking out an ordinary torch, Lin Ziran said: "The kind soaked in fire oil." ”

Although Luo Mazi didn't know why Lin Ziran asked so, what do you want torches for in broad daylight?

But he still honestly said, "Yes." ”

There are torches stored nearby, and Luo Mazi didn't call anyone else, so he went to get them himself.

Lin Ziran took it and looked at the torch carefully, stretched out his hand and touched it, and finally handed the torch to Luo Mazi again: "Light it!" ”

Luo Mazi still doesn't know what kind of nerves the big boss has early this morning!

Why light torches in broad daylight!

After Luo Mazi lit the torch, Lin Ziran smelled the pungent smell of the torch, and his face showed joy: "That's it, where did you get the torch?" Where did you get the soaked oil? ”

Lin Ziran is now very sure that the torch soaked in oil is oil!

However, Luo Mazi on the side was puzzled, what is oil? I haven't heard of it, but this Luo Mazi is not a stupid egg, even if he doesn't understand it, he can guess what Lin Ziran said, and immediately said with a little doubt: "My lord, are you talking about this oil oil?" ”

Lin Ziran nodded: "Yes, it's this fire oil, where did you get it?" ”

When Luo Mazi heard this, his face immediately showed relaxation, he thought that the big boss was nervous early in the morning, what was he doing, just asking about this oil oil!

He immediately said: "We bought this oil from a villager, and the torch can be used longer after soaking in the oil!" ”

said, and specially explained: "The one who gave the money!" ”

Recently, Lin Ziran has been explaining to a few henchmen under his opponent for the sake of the future, and after arriving in this Qingshan Town, he still has to be cautious, and he can't come by temperament like before, for example, he has to give money to buy something, and he can't rob it directly......

However, Lin Ziran didn't have much to pay attention to, he was more concerned about the oil, or the oil.

He immediately said, "Where are the people who sell this oil?" ”

Luo Mazi said: "I don't know this very well, we met that person in the town, I didn't ask in detail, but it seems to be from a village outside, and he is also carrying a load of oil, it is estimated that it is not far away!" ”

Lin Ziran said: "Find out the people!" ”

Luo Mazi said: "Yes, I'll take someone out to find it!" ”

After saying this, Luo Mazi looked puzzled and said, "But my lord, why are we looking for this person who sells fire oil?" ”

Lin Ziran looked at the torches that were still burning and emitting a pungent smell, and said at the same time: "Make money, make a fortune!" ”
