Li Hongji lowered his head and thought for a while, "If you want to follow me to make a fortune, it's okay, but I can't accept you now, when the opportunity comes, I'll look for you again!" ”

"Big brother will really take us rich?" Wu Ermao originally wanted to ask Li Hongji how he made a fortune, but he didn't know Li Hongji very well, so he didn't dare to ask for the time being.

"Getting rich is naturally getting rich," Li Hongji narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly, looking unfathomable, "But now the time has not come." ”

Wu Ermao bowed his hand to Li Hongji, "Dare to ask the name of the eldest brother...... The younger brother often prays for the eldest brother! ”

"My name is Li Hongji," Li Hongji knew that if he didn't come up with something special, Wu Ermao wouldn't fully believe in himself, and it didn't matter if he didn't believe it, the key was that at this point, it would be difficult for him to get out unless he killed Wu Ermao and his accomplices, "Wu Ermao, have you heard of glass?" ”

"Glass?" Wu Ermao shook his head, "Big brother, what the hell is glass?" ”

"This is a good thing, only the rich and noble families can afford it," Li Hongji thought for a while and said, "It is usually placed on the window, or on the roof, as transparent as crystal." ”

"That's what Big Brother said?" Wu Ermao's face showed a look of yearning, "I heard that there is a piece of such a thing in the Qinwang Mansion in Xi'an, which seems to be called glazed one, which is installed on the window, which can not only block the cold outside, but also see the scenery outside, and the house is also very bright." ”

"Glass is not glass, it is much more advanced than glass." Li Hongji once consulted the relevant information, although the origin of glass legends are different, but the current commercial glass, mainly produced in Italy.

In order to protect the huge profits of the glass industry, the merchants of Venice concentrated the craftsmen who produced glass on a small uninhabited island, and they were not allowed to leave the island for the rest of their lives.

Because Italy is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, after a small amount of glass enters the Ming Dynasty, the price is ridiculously high, and a one-foot square glass can often be sold for a hundred taels of silver, and it is still priceless.

"What the hell is that glass?" Wu Ermao's kind of dirt bun, of course, has never seen glass.

"Glass looks similar to glass, but the manufacturing method is different, and the price is a thousand times different." Of course, Li Hongji will not explain the production method of glass, so he can only say a rough idea and draw a big pie for Wu Ermao.

"A thousandfold?" Wu Ermao's eyes widened, "Big brother, the profit in here ......"

"Of course the profit is not what you can imagine," Li Hongji looked for the raised small stone and sat on it, "And perfume, have you heard of it?" ”

"Perfume?" Wu Ermao squatted down, "But the kind that Yang Guifei used?" ”

"You know a lot," Li Hongji praised the dumpling, "but when Yang Guifei uses perfume, she often has to boil flowers for several hours before she can use it once, and in autumn and winter, the flowers wither, so she can't make perfume." ”

"That big brother's perfume ......"

"My perfume was originally boiled and packed in a utensil, and it was easy to open when I used it, which was very convenient and could be used in spring, summer, autumn and winter," Li Hongji glanced at Wu Ermao, "If you sell this perfume to a lady......"

"Big brother, that's a huge profit." Wu Ermao's business acumen is not bad.

"That's nature, so I'm looking for materials to make these strange goods in the mountains, and when all the materials are ready, I'll think about production, and then ......."

"Big brother, at that time, we were the giants of the rich side," Wu Ermao had long forgotten his identity as a strongman, he patted his chest, "Big brother, let's do what we say, I want to follow the big brother and escort the big brother." ”

"You?" Li Hongji stared at Wu Ermao, and quickly retracted his gaze, "You can't even beat me, how can you protect me?" ”

"Big brother......" Wu Ermao was a little embarrassed, and his right hand, which was full of pride and pride just now, froze in the air, "Although the younger brother is not as good as the eldest brother, one more person has more strength." ”

"You're right," Li Hongji twisted the kettle and poured a sip of water, "but now the materials are not complete, and it is not the time for production, you who don't need it for the time being, besides, these materials, until they are fully equipped, you can't see people." ”

"Big brother...... This ......" Wu Ermao thought that Li Hongji was going to leave him, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Ermao, don't worry, when it's time to give birth, I'll naturally go to you for help," Li Hongji gave Wu Ermao a reassurance pill first, "I still have to find some other help, with the strength of the eight of you, can you keep these sky-high goods at that time?" ”

"What the eldest brother said was, "Wu Ermao turned to joy, Li Hongji was right, such high profits, there will be more people who will be red in the future, how to keep these profits is a big problem, but Li Hongji told him so, but he didn't treat him as an outsider, "Big brother, then what do I want to do now?" ”

"Now...... Ermao, are you literate? "Li Hongji is ready to assign work to Wu Ermao.

"Big brother...... I...... I can't read. While Wu Ermao shook his head, his eyes did not leave Li Hongji for a moment.

"Oh, then let's do it, you gather a group of people first, regardless of identity, as long as you have the ability, no matter if he has the ability," Li Hongji added: "Now you can't afford to raise them, and I don't have time to contact them, you can find these people, and when I need it, you must be able to contact them." ”

Wu Ermao knew that Li Hongji really trusted him, "What kind of person does the eldest brother want?" If I say it, I'll be able to work for my big brother. ”

"It doesn't matter what kind of talent," Li Hongji felt that Wu Ermao might not believe it if he continued to say this, "It's best to contact the craftsman, and he will definitely be able to use it when the time comes." ”

"Yes, eldest brother, I understand," Wu Ermao bowed to Li Hongji as a literati, "Where did you learn these talents, eldest brother?" ”

"Don't ask about this, it won't do you any good if you know." Li Hongji gave a meaningful warning.

"Then can I officially meet Big Brother now?" Although Wu Ermao is much older than Li Hongji, but now when talking about brothers, it is not about age, but about ability, Li Hongji's Taoism far surpasses Wu Ermao, of course, he is the eldest brother.

At this time, the two subordinates of Wu Ermao, who were knocked out by Li Hongji, had already woken up, and when they saw my Ermao squatting on the ground talking to Li Hongji, they felt strange in their hearts, so they had to observe the movement from a distance.

Wu Ermao beckoned to the two, "Five catties, black eggs, come and meet the eldest brother." He has already calculated, what Li Hongji said is too amazing, but the three of them are not Li Hongji's opponents, and they can't keep Li Hongji, in case what Li Hongji said is true, they are out of luck.

"Big brother?" Wang Wujin and Hei Dan ran over quickly, and saw Li Hongji sitting on the stone, while Wu Ermao was squatting in front of him like a little brother, and couldn't help but be very strange.

"Quick, meet Big Brother." Wu Ermao took the lead in kneeling down in front of Li Hongji.

"Big brother...... Wang Wujin and Hei Dan looked at Wu Ermao and then at Li Hongji, they hesitated.

Li Hongji smiled and said nothing.

"Five catties, black eggs, you two stupid, let you kneel and kneel, what are you doing in a daze?" Wu Ermao glared fiercely at these two unrighteous brothers.

"Yes, big brother." Wang Wujin and Hei Dan glanced at each other, and both knelt down in front of Li Hongji.

"I'm Wu Ermao,"

"My king is five catties,"

"I'm a black egg,"

"Meet Big Brother!"

"Get up, they're all your own brothers." Li Hongji raised his right hand upward, let the three of them get up, and call these people brothers, there is no need to burn yellow paper and cut off the head of the chicken.

"Yes, big brother." Wu Ermao stood up and motioned for Wang Wujin and Hei Dan to get up.

"Since you worship me as your eldest brother, then the eldest brother will speak," Li Hongji's expression suddenly became majestic, "Big brother can't take care of your life now, you have to rely on yourself for the time being, but in the future, you must not hurt people's lives at will, and heaven has its own retribution." ”

"Yes, big brother." Wu Ermao arched his hand to Li Hongji again, and bowed down, could it be that Brother Li Hongji was really sent by the Buddha to save us? This speech really has a bit of a Buddhist flavor.

"Big brother, then we will ...... in the future" Wang Wujin looked at Wu Ermao with some puzzlement, not understanding why the eldest brother, who has always been ruthless, bowed down to Li Hongji.

"Five pounds, are you going to die?" Wu Ermao kicked Wang Wujin's buttocks, and pointed at Li Hongji again, "Big brother is here, from now on, I will no longer be your big brother." ”

"Haha," Li Hongji laughed, "Brother Wujin is right, the life of the brothers will still have to pass in the future, Ermao, you, the second brother, still have to take care of the brothers, including a few brothers I have never met." ”

"Big Brother ......"

"Lingzhou is too small, often in one place, it is inevitable that the boat will capsize," Li Hongji pointed to the south with his hand, "In the future, we must pay attention to changing locations, in addition, ordinary people should not embarrass them, and there is not much money." ”

"Big brother, just a few of us, I'm afraid I can't even touch the hair of a big family......" Wu Ermao cried with a sad face, in front of Li Hongji, there was no need to hide his strength.

Li Hongji thought about it, but he didn't have the money to feed these little brothers now, and even his three meals a day had just been solved, "There are a few roads, such as the Mongols in the north, do you dare to rob their cattle and sheep?" ”

"This ......" is not only Wang Wujin and Black Egg, but even Wu Ermao is shrinking his neck.

"Also, it is also a good choice to traffic grain from Sichuan to Shaanxi." Li Hongji knows that Shaanxi has experienced successive major droughts because it is now in the period of the Xiaoice River, the temperature in the northern region is lower, and the rain is less, but the impact on the southern region is not great, and Sichuan should be relatively rich in grain.

"Big brother, don't say that the road is difficult to travel from Sichuan to traffic grain, and we don't have the capital?" Wu Ermao still felt that it was not feasible.

Of course, Li Hongji knew that this would not work, he just proposed a few large-scale options, so that Wu Ermao knew the difficulty and retreated, "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, there is a large amount of coal under Helan Mountain, but you have neither the capital nor enough manpower, so it is still not possible for the time being, however, wolfberries and licorice are produced nearby, you should be able to pick them, and it is not possible to make a fortune, and it should not be difficult to make a living." ”

"Big brother, it seems that this is the only way." Wu Ermao seemed reluctant, and it seemed that he was not very willing to do this tedious labor.

"In addition, there is another one, in case life is not satisfactory, you can also join the army, and it should be no problem to make a living."

"Big brother, we know."

"Okay, big brother is still busy, I'm leaving, you guys can do it yourself, wait for me to come back." Li Hongji got up from the stone, he had been delayed for a long time, he had to get up quickly, otherwise, the copper coins and nest heads in his pocket might not be able to guarantee that he would get home.

"We didn't have any gifts when we met the eldest brother for the first time," Wu Ermao motioned to Wang Wujin, "Take out all the copper coins." ”
