This made Cao Liang a little depressed, originally he was trying to take this opportunity to befriend Pei Xiu, but the two of them had different interests, so it was not surprising that they couldn't get along.

Now it is common for scholars in the upper class to take medicine, but Cao Liang does not dare to agree, and naturally he is not willing to go along with it, after all, taking medicine is conducive to befriending Pei Xiu, but it is really a harm to his body.

Others don't say that Pei Xiu will die in Wushisan in the future, do you want to end up with him on the same path?

Cao Liang got out of the restaurant, and Ah Fu and Fang Bu, who were waiting on the first floor, looked inexplicable, didn't the little marquis just go upstairs to have a meal, why did his face look like Changbai Mountain.

However, Cao Liang didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask, so they quietly followed behind Cao Liang and went straight back to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion.

Today, Cao Liang deliberately went to Yipinju, just to find a shortcut to get rich, but after watching for a long time, Cao Liang found that Yipinju's business model was not suitable for him at all, first, the investment cost was too large, and secondly, the return cycle was too long.

What kind of project can be engaged in a short-term and fast money-making project, Cao Liang is still worried about searching for dry intestines.

Constrained by transportation, logistics, capital, secular concepts and other conditions, commerce in the Three Kingdoms era was not developed, Cao Liang originally thought that with his experience in mixing in shopping malls in his previous life, he could make a fortune casually.

But in fact, leaving the soil of modern commercial society, Cao Liang found that no matter what he did, it was difficult.

First of all, it is a secular concept, the positioning of Shinong and industry and commerce in today's society, the merchant is classified as the last, and the merchant is a lowly industry, not to mention the status of a marquis like Cao Liang, even if it is an ordinary child of the scholar's family, it is disdainful.

Secondly, it is the difficulty of transportation, Cao Liang envisions cross-regional trade, transporting the well-known Shu brocade in Shu, tea from the south of the Yangtze River, and jade from the Western Regions to Luoyang to sell, and making money by taking advantage of the price difference between regions.

But the reality is that Wei and Shu and Wu have been at war for many years, and although there is private trade, the risk is extremely high, and it is difficult to have both people and money.

The inconvenience of transportation has also seriously delayed the development of trade, such as starting from Luoyang, going to Shu, a round trip, not about half a year, can not come back at all.

Don't look at the shops in Luoyang City, a sign of prosperity, but in fact, the vast majority of shops are doing small business, although the profit is not low, but the day is not safe, and the shops that close their doors every day abound.

Only Yipinju is an exception, because it takes the high-end route and caters to the consumption needs of the upper class aristocracy, so it can be unique in Luoyang City.

But the success of Yipinju is almost irreproducible, without huge capital investment, without a deep background background, without establishing a brand reputation, even if you throw more money into it, you may lose all your money.

After this road was blocked, Cao Liang had nothing to do and was worried.

I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, everything really didn't go well, I didn't get the scriptures when I went to Yipinju, and I didn't even miss the opportunity to make friends with Pei Xiu, and my luck really declined home.

Five stone scattered!

is such a harmful thing, it actually makes the scholars and celebrities of the Wei and Jin dynasties flock to it, do you say they are sick, and they are not lightly ill?

Thinking of this, Cao Liang couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, yes, so many scholars and celebrities in the Wei and Jin dynasties like this thing, why don't you do what you like, and the business point is scattered, one can make money, and the other can also make friends with celebrities, why not?

This is indeed a way to get rich quickly, Cao Liang knows that Wushi San, as the name suggests, is made of five kinds of ore ground into powder and proportionally blended, the cost is not expensive, and the price is extremely high, it is definitely a good deal.

To be honest, it is still somewhat psychologically burdensome to let Cao Liang sell Wushi San, after all, it is a drug harmful to the body, but looking back, even if Cao Liang doesn't sell it, won't those scholars and celebrities take it?

They still eat it correctly, but the money is in other people's pockets, rather than letting others earn this money, it is better to earn it yourself, if one day they really have the opportunity to take charge of the world, they can also come to Humen like Lin Zexu to sell cigarettes, and ban Wushi San, so that they can really help these celebrities.

If you want to take it, you must give it first, this truth couldn't be more obvious, how could Cao Liang not figure it out.

Now is not the time to be a, if you can't dig the first pot of gold in your life, Cao Liang's ideals and ambitions will not be realized, and you will not be able to compete with the Sima family in the stormy Gaopingling Incident.

Cao Liang is a person with great ideas, once he thinks about it, he will immediately put it into action, such as building a catapult, maybe others will weigh the benefits and disadvantages, but Cao Liang is different, he just does it, and there is no drag at all.

The construction of catapults may violate the laws of the imperial court, and the production and sale of Wushisan has no such taboo, and Cao Liang does not need to worry about anything, he can roll up his sleeves and do a great job.

Cao Liang summoned Ah Fu and Ah Gui in, and instructed Ah Fu to find a warlock who could prepare five stone powder, even if it was hired with a high salary, he would not hesitate to do so.

Although Cao Liang knew the five medicinal stones of Wushi San, the proportion of the formula was not very clear, but in fact, it was the descendants. The formula of Wushisan has long been lost, and without the formula, it is impossible to cause Wushisan.

Ah Fu took the order and left, and Cao Liang instructed Ah Gui to buy the raw materials of Wushisan, that is, the five medicinal stones that prepared Wushisan.

In fact, there are many kinds of formulas of Wushisan, Wei Shi mostly uses Dansha, realgar, alum, Zeng Qing, Cishi these five kinds of medicinal stones to prepare, and later continued to improve, using stalactites, sulfur, white quartz, purple quartz, red stone resin these five kinds of medicinal stones, the five stone powder used in the later dynasties, most of them are composed of this five-flavor medicinal stone.

Cao Liang instructed Ah Gui to buy these five kinds of medicinal stones, and buy back 100 catties of each first.

There is no shortage of medicinal stones, they can be bought in general pharmacies, Agui went out for two hours, and then bought all the five medicinal stones that Cao Liang confessed, and the price was really not too expensive, five hundred catties of medicinal stones, only cost less than 10,000 yuan.

Ah Fu's side did not seem to be going well, most of the warlocks who could prepare Wushisan were raised by the businesses that operated Wushisan, for example, Yipinju hired four or five warlocks to specialize in developing the formula of Wushisan, and the Wushisan sold in Luoyang, the capital, was also in the best condition.

Although the selling price of Yipinju's five stone bulk is several times that of other firms, due to its high quality and large number of buyers, its sales volume of five stone powder has always occupied about eighty percent of the Luoyang market.
