Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Bowl of Money
After Yuan Shao learned that Yan Liangwen Chou and the others had been arrested, he angrily opened his teeth and claws and roared and scolded: "Waste, useless waste!" If you can't do a little thing, then stay in prison for a few days!"
In fact, Yuan Shao didn't deliberately find trouble with Mu Yi because he had nothing to do, but fell in love with the army of the Broken Army.
If you want to control this army, the first thing you have to do is to remove Mu Yi from power, so that you have a chance to own this force. With the strength of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, there will not be many difficulties at that time. In order to test Mu Yi, Yuan Shao asked Yan Liangwen Chou to try the strength of Mu Yi's soldiers first.
Not to mention Yuan Shao, there are many people in Luoyang City who are angry and want to take the "Broken Army" under their command, which is a real 10,000 cavalry!
On the night when the Broken Army just entered the West Garden, the recruits of the Eighth Captain of the West Garden found fault one after another, and the two sides had a friendly fight, and the final result was that the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Captain of the West Garden were beaten by the Broken Army and cried for their fathers and mothers, which was typically crushed.
How can a group of recruits who have not been on the battlefield be the opponent of these proud soldiers. What's more, there are fierce people like Zhao Yun and Pang De.
It is precisely because of the sharp edge of the Broken Army that many people are concerned about it, and they want to take it for their own use, and Yuan Shao is just one of them.
In prison, Pang De viciously bit a chicken leg, chewed it vigorously, looked at Wen Chou on the opposite side and said, "What are you looking at?"
Wen Chou spat on the ground, glared at Pang De viciously and scolded: "Lao Tzu looks at you Niang!"
"your old lady, dare to scold Lao Tzu ......"
"Lao Tzu scolded, and you picked up Lao Tzu's thing and kissed it......"
"He~damn, beat these grandsons......"
There was a crackle, and the small cell suddenly became lively.
A few jailers stood outside and ignored it, one by one with their arms crossed and watched the excitement.
It wasn't until he finally saw the tragic situation that he couldn't bear to look at it, so he knocked on the cell door with a wooden stick: "Alas, alas...... Generals, don't fight, and if you fight for a while, you'll have to tear down the cell......"
Mufu
Mu Yi lay on a rocking chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and Miao Xiaodie helped him rock the rocking chair while asking, "Ah Lang!" Put General Zhao and those people together, shouldn't they fight again!"
The corners of Mu Yi's mouth curled slightly, and he said lazily: "I just want them to fight, and they suffer such a big loss, if they can't get it back on their own territory, it will be a big loss."
……
The next day, Mufu.
Zhao Yun and the others bowed their heads one by one and were silent, Mu Yi, who was sitting on the upper hand, was so angry that his face turned green, and he pointed to the people present and said, "Look, see what has become of?" Can you be convicted? ”
Everyone arched their hands aggrieved and said: "Guilty of despicable duty!" Please punish the Lord ......"
They thought that they had caused unnecessary trouble to Mu Yi by fighting with others, so they all showed cowardice.
Mu Yi nodded, walked up to everyone and said, "It's good to know the guilt!" Let's talk about Pei Yuanshao first, don't you have a little eyesight? Knowing that you can't beat him and still fight with others, you won't go to move the rescuers, and when you find enough people to clean him up, can't you? It's a shame to let people faint to the ground!"
"And Zilong, look at what has become now? has been beaten into a panda face, knowing that his fist and foot kung fu is a shortcoming, and he still has to compare his fists and feet with others, won't he use a stick as a gun? Now that they've done it, they're still polite to them, even if it's a human life, and a certain top, afraid of an egg? ”
"Ah......h
Everyone was collectively speechless, originally thinking that Mu Yi was blaming them for doing it without permission. But they couldn't imagine killing them, and Mu Yi was angry that they didn't win.
Zhao Yun stepped forward with an embarrassed face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, if there is a next time, you must clean up their ......"
Seeing Zhao Yun's panda eyes, Mu Yi almost didn't laugh out loud, he couldn't hold back the smile in his heart, and said with a straight face: "Next time, just wait for these fists and feet, even if you don't get much good next time!" I went to the martial arts arena in the backyard with a certain person, and today I will teach you some fist and foot kung fu, and then teach it to the soldiers in the army, so as not to suffer a loss when fighting with your bare hands in the future. ”
When I heard that I was going to teach them fist and foot kung fu, everyone's eyes lit up, they were all people who licked blood on the tip of the knife, and who didn't want to have more means to save their lives.
Mu Yi and the others came to the martial arts arena in the backyard, and under the gaze of several people, Mu Yi played a set of military body punches at the slowest speed, and then a set of grappling and counter-grappling.
"Are you all optimistic? The following leads everyone to practice a few times......"
"......"
Yuan Shao's mansion
Looking at Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces and embarrassed faces, they were so angry that they blew their beards and glared, paced back and forth with their hands behind their backs, and scolded and scolded: "Waste, a group of waste, I didn't test the deep dive of others, but I was beaten like this, get out, look at you and wait for this look to get angry......"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou secretly said in their hearts: "Could it be that you are following such a lord?" I don't know if people will be punished when they go back, at least there was wine and meat last night, but I didn't even have a bowl of cold water, and I had to be scolded with my head and face when I came back, why did I have such a hard time and follow such a lord? ”
Of course, Mu Yi didn't know this, in addition to going to work every day, in his spare time, he taught his four hundred people to fight with their bare hands, and supervised their various physical training.
After a month of continuous busyness, Miao Xiaodie finally set up a match workshop.
The whole production process is an assembly line operation, everyone is responsible for the same, and the formula of the match is handed over to the confidant to do, and it is impossible for others to imitate it.
In the days that followed, the streets were suddenly filled with children and women selling matches.
Many people don't know what a match is, but after a demonstration by a match seller, they immediately liked it.
Moreover, matches are not very expensive, not only are they convenient to use, but the price is almost the same as flint, whether it is a dignitary or a peddler, they can afford to buy matches.
Mu Yi is for small profits but quick turnover, after all, all families are incapable of starting fire.
The most important thing in doing business is monopoly, once a certain thing is monopolized, it is difficult to get rich.
This is the case with Mu Yi now, just by selling matches, it is really called a daily income.
Soon, matches were praised by everyone in Luoyang, and even matches began to be used in the palace.
Emperor Ling of Han was even darker, and directly issued an edict, asking Mu Yi to pay tribute to the palace of five thousand boxes every month.
Although the loss was great, the reputation went out. When many merchants heard that matches had become tribute, they rushed to buy them in large quantities and sell them to the states and counties.
In just a few months, Mu Yi made a lot of money. In the end, when demand exceeds supply, Miao Xiaodie can only expand the workshop again.
