No wind and rain, no rainbow.

When a man has passed the test of life and death, he will become very different, and Lei Qi is such a person.

Although the days in the prison were not long, all the eighteen torture instruments were tasted once, and the copper skin and iron bones were beaten and broken!

If there was no alcohol to save my life, I would have died of sepsis caused by infection. It took him a month to recover.

After this change, Lei Qi was simply reborn, he always thought of the love of the rivers and lakes in the past, and he was quite generous to his subordinates. Who knew that it was in exchange for Zhang Huan's betrayal!

This guy colluded with Hu, cuckolded himself, and gave key information to Hu, and was imprisoned in a daze, almost losing his life. After coming out, the old brothers who had been messing with him at the dock were all dismissed and sent home. Of course, there is one exception, and that is Xu San!

Before Lei Qi and Hu got married, they also had a wife, but they died in childbirth, leaving Lei Qi with a son. For this eldest son, Lei Qi was very concerned, and he was afraid that he would be wronged, so he deliberately bought a Zhuangzi outside the city.

After he was arrested, Xu San, a bastard boy, didn't know how to open up, so he ran to Zhuangzi overnight, took Lei Qi's son away, and the two of them hid in the countryside and escaped Hu Bin's capture.

During this time in the countryside, Xu San would rather be hungry and frozen than let Lei Qi's son suffer a little grievance. When Lei Qi mobilized all his hands and found Xu San, he was hiding in the mountain temple, roasting the hen with one hand with difficulty. The other arm has been broken for stealing chickens.

Thump!

Lei Qi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu San, seeing the truth in adversity, if there was no Xu San, the child would definitely be arrested and put in prison, and the adults couldn't hold it, not to mention a child, Xu San saved his son's life! Pulled his son, without saying a word, let the child call Xu San godfather!

Lei Qi, who recovered, regained the property, and Chen Menghe also returned all the property looted by Hu Bin. However, after this catastrophe, the original customers were cut off, and the brothers who had gathered under his hands were gone. Lei Qikong was holding a pile of silver, but he wanted to sit and eat the mountain.

Coincidentally, at this time, Tang Yi set out to make a fortune, and he hit it off with Lei Qi. From decoration to purchasing pen, ink, paper, inkstone, to buying mahogany, making furniture.

I can't just rely on Tang Yi, who has an empty stomach, and I can't do it with Wu Tiancheng, who has black eyes, it can be said that Lei Qi is the one who has contributed the most!

It's just that at this time, he was standing in front of the paper shop, and he actually stopped and didn't go inside.

"What? Why don't you go in and take a look? Tang Yi walked out with a smile.

Lei Qihan smiled: "Forget it, I'm a rough man, don't disturb the Yaxing of the talents." ”

Tang Yi leaned closer and smiled: "Actually, I don't want to see it, who let us have no enmity with Yinzi!" ”

"Hahaha, Xiao Xianggong's words are admirable, it's done, appreciate your face, let's have a few drinks!"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

Lei Qi led the way in front, crossed two streets, and came to the front of a small door, as soon as Lei Qi appeared, a middle-aged man greeted him, and said with a smile: "Seventh master, the leg of lamb is baked, just waiting for you!" ”

"See, I brought a distinguished guest today, if it doesn't taste good, be careful that I smash your sign!" Lei Qi clenched his fists and smiled.

"Seventh master, don't worry, you don't eat well, you don't need to do it, the little one will be smashed by yourself!"

Smiled into the private room, the shopkeeper took matters into his own hands, set up the shelf, and brought a leg of mutton with a burnt yellow color and bubbling oil. The wafting aroma made people's appetite move, and Tang Yi was suddenly interested in seeing such an authentic roast leg of lamb in Jiangnan. Take the dagger, cut off a piece, put it in your mouth, without the slightest breath, the outside is scorched and the inside is tender, and it melts in your mouth!

"Good, that's good!"

Lei Qi also cut off a large strip, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Little Xianggong, do you know why the store is so authentic?" ”

Tang Yi's eyes blinked, and he said with a smile: "Listening to the accent of the shopkeeper, it seems to be from the northwest!" ”

"Xiao Xianggong is keen, he is a military household who fled from the northwest, I saved him five years ago, and I also helped him buy this shop."

The Ming court set up a nine-sided town on the northern border, and a million troops reclaimed the border, which was once Zhu Yuanzhang's most proud political achievement. It's just that more than 100 years later, the military household system collapsed, and in some places the number of fugitives even exceeded half, and this shopkeeper was also one of them......

It's just that the northwest is not safe, and the southeast is also the same, and the Japanese are becoming more and more rampant, and I really don't know where the peaceful land is. Thinking of this, Tang Yi became more and more depressed, the dagger in his hand moved frequently, and the mutton was stuffed into his stomach.

Half of the eldest son ate Lao Tzu to death, Tang Yi ate more than Lei Qi, and in less than a quarter of an hour, only bones were left in a leg of mutton.

"Little Xianggong, do you want another one?" Lei Qi proposed.

"Forget it, another one has really become a rice bucket, let's get down to business!"

When it came to business, Lei Qi immediately put away his smile and became serious.

"Little Xianggong, which one shall we talk about first?"

"The furniture is selling well, let's talk about mahogany!"

"Yes." Lei Qi paused and said: "Xiao Xianggong, I have arranged manpower in Songjiang and Suzhou, huanghuali, wenge, rosewood, and ebony are all among the acquisitions. There are not many people who buy these woods, and the price is fair. ”

"Well, we can't just rely on procurement, but also with the maritime merchants who transport timber, it is best to ship the best materials according to our requirements, and within a few years, we will monopolize the hardwood market in Jiangnan."

Tang Yi sold the official hat chair so cheaply, of course, it was not his conscience that found it, but to put a long line to catch a big fish. Tables, chairs and benches are all small pieces, with few materials and low prices. What really makes money is the carved big bed and the mahogany cabinet!

Take the most laborious and laborious thousand-worker stepping bed, for example, it takes more than three years for a craftsman to do it well, so there is a saying of "thousand-work".

A large bed like this can be sold for fifty or sixty taels at the cheapest, and if it is more elaborately carved and luxuriously decorated, it is not impossible to sell it for one or two hundred taels.

Tang Yi calculated that if the standard process was adopted, dozens or hundreds of carpenters could be recruited to make a large bed within a few days.

First seize the market through cheap tables, chairs and benches, and after the shipment is enough, there are many purchases, so that the upstream and downstream are seized. Most of the other carpenters' workshops could not sustain themselves, and then they were taken over and the whole home manufacturing business was in their hands.

When the time comes, it can also be combined with Changwen Paper Shop, first conquer the literati, and then conquer the society, Tang Yi can proudly declare: What I sell is not a commodity, but an attitude to life!

Of course, with such a big plan, Tang Yi's current strength is not enough, but it doesn't matter, he can take advantage of the situation, isn't there still Jinyiwei!

"What's going on at the brewery?"

"Hehe, little minister, don't hide it, I used to have two wineries under my hands, specializing in making spirits. We have a lot of grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are good spirits in Shandong, which are trafficked back and forth to earn a hard-earned money. In fact, our distillery also has a distillation process, but it is distilled a few more times. That's right...... Xiao Xianggong, I made my own decisions, and when I discussed with Deng Qianhu of Jinyiwei, I discounted the price of alcohol for Jinyiwei, and also promised them that thirty percent of the profits from the spirits and alcohol sold would go to Jinyiwei. ”

The alcohol business is nothing to the huge Jinyiwei, Zhou Shuo handed over the matter to Deng Zhenzhong, a thousand households in Jiangnan, and Tang Yi was not good at dealing with Jinyiwei, so he let Lei Qi come forward.

After listening to Lei Qi's introduction, Tang Yi also understood his thoughts, if he didn't give Jin Yiwei some sweetness, how could these people do their best. Now that there is a three-percent profit drive, the business of the wine shop is their business, and when the wine shop is good, their pockets will bulge, and they don't worry about these people not working hard.

"Seventh Master, he is worthy of being a good hand in business, I admire it so much!"

"Hahaha, Xiao Xianggong is the genius who really turns stones into gold, Lei Qi is mixed with you, only to know that he used to be fucking busy in business!"

As the saying goes, a person who gets the Tao and the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, Tang Yi has already distributed his business, Wu Tiancheng is in charge of the Changwen paper store, and the furniture production belongs to the Zhu shopkeeper, and it just so happened that their house in Liuhebao was also burned, so they settled in Taicang.

As for the winery, there is also the matter of procurement, which is to let Lei Qi pick it up. Tang Yi not only had a life-saving grace for him, but Tang Yi also helped Lei Qi get through the relationship, allowing him to slaughter Hu and Zhang Huan with his own hands, so that he could relieve the hatred in his heart. The above just said that two people died of violent illness, and for the husband and silver woman, it has always been innocent of death, and no one cares at all.

After careful calculation, Tang Yi now has mastered the three major sources of wealth, paper shops, furniture, and alcohol. It is conservatively estimated that three thousand taels of silver will be recorded in a year, and it is still in a period of rapid expansion, and it will increase countless times in the future. Tang Yi is not a person who is particularly sensitive to money, and he will not toss if he spends enough.

It's time to gnaw on the eight-strand text, the stepping stone of officialdom, even if it's shit, you have to gnaw it down and chew it up!

Tang Yi went to visit the teacher with full of tragedy.
