Chapter 296 Alchemy
That night's gathering was only a condensed version of Li Zhi's future forces, and the business and manpower spread around these people was the biggest help he could borrow in the future.
Behind these people, there is an even more unfathomable Hanlin system, those information and policy forces that are invisible and hidden at all levels inside and outside the imperial court, are the invisible network layout.
For several days in a row, Li Zhi traveled between the West Market and the East Market, especially the one named Zhengqing Wenqitang Liquor Factory, and also started the transformation in the fastest time.
The 10-acre underground giant wine cellar will be gradually built with the development of business, and only about one of the acres will be sealed as a fruit wine brewing area.
To Li Zhi's surprise, Li Yi also came back with the first batch of high-grade Xifeng wine branded with the words Zhengqing Wenqitang, and in just half a month, he took Lao Liu Tou and Zhang Xu to open a large winery and a wine ware manufacturing factory in Fengyang County.
This time I came back, by the way, I pulled those Liujian Village paper factory packaging cartons, this batch of high-grade wine are special glass bottles of the palace glaze factory, Li Zhi has consciously contacted the relevant departments, and plans to partner with them to open that wine factory.
Although Li Zhi also has more advanced technology, the glass factory is still a special industry under the control of the government, and it is unprecedented to be able to persuade him to customize the wine bottles for the winery.
Mengshu and Xiaowen, the two county lords, have been by Li Yi's side, and they are also married on the sixth day of October, and they are already living together.
Obviously, the three of them are in a sweet honeymoon period, just like the lady next to Li Zhi, they follow wherever they go, which attracted Pang Qi for a long time of ridicule, not knowing that they are far more clingy than them.
During this period, Li Zhi went to the palace, and at present, Gaozong led Li Dan to embark on the way to Luoyang, leaving the crown prince Li Xian to handle military and political affairs in Chang'an, and ordered Liu Renliang and Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao to assist the prince.
Before leaving, Gaozong had a deep conversation with Li Zhi, during which Liu Renliang, Pei Yan, and Xue Yuanchao were all called to the upper study alone, and they had their own exchanges with Li Zhi.
In particular, Liu Renliang showed great sincerity, and even agreed to invite King Ming, King Xuan, King Song and others to have a good day in the East Mountains, which means that the meaning of getting closer is obvious, which makes King Song and others extremely excited.
The establishment of another door of the wine shop has been under intense construction, and Princess Taiping is also actively cooperating, and has already officially handed over the mansion to Li Zhi, and the plaque of the mansion has been replaced with the five characters of Zhengqing Wenqitang.
In order to distinguish it from the mansion on the East Mountains, the four of them privately called the mountain Zhengqing Hall and the mountain down the Wenqi Hall.
Proposed by Pingzhun Linggong Wei Gong Jitong, Princess Taiping came forward to greet her, and the West Market also demolished the two sections of the west and north walls of the West Market because of the appearance of the Zhengqing Wenqitang Wine Workshop, and built a large garden on the newly expanded territory at the expense of Li Zhi.
After the design of the professional garden department, the newly opened winery gate has been cleverly integrated with the overall style of the West Market, and it is currently under intense construction.
The original gate on the south side of the winery was also temporarily retained, and the crowded city outside the door was also funded by Gong Wei and Li Zhi to retract his wall inward and build a row of mobile stalls with only simple roofs, which were provided free of charge to most merchants in the city.
In this way, the passage can be left wide, and then Gongwei will summarize the information of the inquiry, and recruit the people who are indeed poor and innocent in the merchants, and whose character is trustworthy.
These people belong to at least two generations of the city, can have a regular income, and are nearly twice the monthly salary of similar jobs, and no one wants to brave the wind and snow to guard that small stall that has not a few hundred dollars in the first place.
There were more than sixty of them, all of them young laborers in good health, and Li Zhi promised them that if they performed well, they would each be allowed to introduce a relative to join them.
In this way, in fact, the passage occupied by the city in the city was immediately cleared, and for this reason, Princess Taiping repeatedly complained to him, and was deceived into going to a huge mansion that occupied an entire square area.
Moreover, it is a real prime location in Chang'an City, for which Li Zhi paid a few cat's eye jade, as well as a few sets of clothes in spring and summer every year, to attract Princess Taiping to smile repeatedly.
It is those poor people in the city, Li Zhi takes a lot of care of them, and not only allows them to walk freely in the factory area, but also provides great convenience for boiling water and going to the toilet.
You must know that every time they go out of the stall, they have to go around the West Market for a whole circle, just let them pass through, saving a few miles of travel, which is the real benefit.
Therefore, those people are also grateful, and the original occupied passage was completely dredged, which is the main reason why Princess Taiping frequently called him a profiteer.
But she is not at a loss, that mansion has not been used for several years, so she has established a good relationship with Li Zhi, and she will no longer need to send someone to queue up for all the future productions of Zhengqing Wenqitang.
Money has no specific concept for her to come, a certain aspect of privilege is the existence she really cares about, in fact, the emperor's youngest daughter also understands that just a superb cat's eye is completely worthy of her mansion, so this woman is happy to be calculated by Li Zhi.
Of course, Princess Taiping at this time didn't have much thought of seducing Li Zhi, after all, she had only been married for more than a year, and she was a first-time mother, so she was still a competent wife and mother at this time.
Sima Chengzhen followed Li Dan to Luoyang, so Yang Gaotang no longer had to accompany him to look around, and he was obsessed with forging for the past two days.
Li Zhi accompanied him to the cliff, and by the way, the recovery of the pine body was also handed over to him, and the arsenal was about to open, and it was under intense construction somewhere in the mountains far away from the cliff.
During this period, Li Zhi took time to come to the ancestral house at the foot of the mountain and stayed with Shangguan Wan'er for a whole day.
According to her information, Empress Wu's side really died down, and she thought that this move to get closer to Princess Taiping was very subtle, and it was very helpful for Luoyang City and her party later.
Because Wu Zetian thinks that she looks and has a personality like herself, she often discusses political affairs with her, don't look at her only seventeen years old, she has her own views on court affairs, and she is definitely not the kind of person who is the same as the clouds.
Therefore, this person will definitely be reused after Empress Wu ascends to the throne, and this person is the contact between Shangguan Wan'er and Empress Wu, and all the instructions he received in the palace before also came from her.
During this time, she was instigating Shangguan Wan'er to try to get close to Li Xian, the purpose of which was to collect what Gaozong had done after he left Beijing.
Shangguan Wan'er's wild fox has already had physical contact with Li Xian, because of these, Shangguan Wan'er is already planning to replace herself with Mei'er's sister during the day, but fortunately, Li Xian is currently obsessed with hunting outside the city and rarely appears in the palace during the day.
Sister Mei'er is the wild fox, and she has been communicating more and more closely with her recently, and she is willing to reveal some of its origins.
Its demon cultivation body has existed for more than a thousand years, and the demon qi collection is generally to absorb the essence of the sun, moon and stars, showing that it likes to bask in the sun and the moon, and the others are no different from ordinary people, some are demon nurseries, and most of them don't know that they are goblins.
But although Mei'er is a demon child, because she is in the period of catastrophe, she can basically be regarded as a normal reincarnated person, whether it is like a fetus in the egg collection, or waiting for a stillborn birth, she has been born normally, and she has grown up as a human being, that is, she has a normal human life.
To be more precise, except for the first day of the new year or the full moon of the fifteenth month, Mei'er will be hot all over her forehead, and she is usually no different from a normal person.
In the future, it can use people's essence and spirit to improve its own skills, and absorb the essence, including through those male and female behaviors, of course, Shangguan Wan'er's true qi in the body does not belong to this list.
The reason why it was afraid to meet Li Zhi was because the pure Taoist true qi was its restrained qi, and through the still weak true qi in Shangguan Wan'er's body, it contaminated itself little by little, and it was also to deal with a part of the demonic qi covering up when the future tribulation occurred.
Li Zhi deliberately asked Mei'er if she was worthy of full trust, and Shangguan Wan'er gave him a positive answer, all because she was arranged to stay in her body, and her original intention was to enter the world to practice, and there was a deep karmic relationship with her.
Li Zhi took out two bottles of Shi Yuan liquid and handed them to her, and the reason why she also gave Mei'er another bottle was that the faster it evolved, the sooner it reached the conditions for crossing the tribulation, and the sooner Shangguan Wan'er would recover her free body.
Shangguan Wan'er also gave Li Yi a set of magic tricks, which was a special method of concealing the aura, which could hide the cultivator's aura in a specific space.
Although it belongs to the talent of demon cultivation, it does not have the slightest demonic energy, it is just a method of changing the flow of qi and blood in the body.
She lives in the palace at this time, and it is difficult to protect some guardians, so she has learned the pure Taoist exercises that can sense the true qi, and there is no Mei'er to help her cover it secretly, I am afraid that her body has already been exposed.
Knowing this, Li Zhi's body broke out in a cold sweat, obviously this was a careless behavior that he seriously ignored, but fortunately, the thousand-year-old demon cultivator thought of this in advance.
Knowing that the three of Qingqi can also practice, Li Zhi is very happy, this kind of natural supernatural spell that far exceeds the Taoist exercises, is the secret of demon cultivation, and the function is naturally much more advanced than the Taoist spells that are not even ordinary cultivation exercises.
Li Zhi also handed over the Lingxuan Seven Steps to Shangguan Wan'er by the way, and also wanted to use this to explore the origin of some similar ancient techniques through Mei'er, since it came from a thousand years ago, he would always have seen similar exercises more or less.
Before the two broke up, Shangguan Wan'er also handed Li a booklet, which was a refining technique that she personally recorded, which was also obtained from Mei'er.
This is in order to relieve the boring days when she is alone in the future, she asked Mei'er to pass the time.
The first page that Li Zhi opened made him overjoyed, there was actually a storage nature refining thing called the Qiankun bag in the legend.
This kind of carry-on space can only hold dead things but not living things, and outsiders seem to be just a bag hanging from the waist, so that you can carry a lot of things with you without being noticed.
The refining method requires a certain understanding of the laws of space, and those who have mastered it to a very high degree will have the higher the grade of the refined things, as long as they drip their own blood on it, they will become the masters of the refined things, and according to the laws of space mastered by the makers, the size of the Qiankun bag is not the same.
Li Zhi had read a lot of fantasy novels in his previous life, Qiankun bags or storage rings, but he has always been the most peculiar and desirable invincible artifact in the Xianxia world.
The appearance of this kind of alchemy completely subverted all of Li Zhi's previous cognitions, if such a convenient, practical and expressive thing really exists, doesn't it mean that the legendary immortals really exist?
Li Zhi returned to Chang'an City in a state of shock, he took his horse to a no-man's land and sat down, and digested the cognition that Shangguan Wan'er brought to him was overturned.
It wasn't until it was dark that he packed up his mood and rushed back to Dongshi.
