Chapter Twenty-Three: It's better to lean over and be a businessman
"Then what is your position? How is the manager of Lijingmen? Feng Yuanyi couldn't bear his anger.
"The Grand Administrator of the Lijing Gate? Do you want to be from the palace? "Dugu Xinci secretly mocked.
"Don't go too far" Feng Yuan took a sip of tea, but still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"It's not too much, 50,000 gold, Baojiao Baohui" Dugu Xinci suddenly spoke, so that Feng Yuanyi couldn't get angry.
"Bao Jiao Bao Hui?" Feng Yuan was stunned, and then became furious, "Fifty thousand gold, waiting for a robbery?" ”
"How could Ben Langjun do such an unskilled thing as a robbery?" Dugu Xinci said leisurely.
"No money" Feng Yuanyi cheated.
"No money, you flirt with Ben Langjun" Dugu Xinci never follows the routine to "10,000 gold"
"Ten thousand gold?"
"Don't say that this thing is not even worth 10,000 gold," Dugu Xinci laughed, "Not even 10,000 gold?" Let's just dissolve this Lijingmen, and the poor will lose face as a saint."
"How much money you have, others don't know, but Lijingmen knows it clearly, just for 10,000 gold, he took the sharp weapons of this country for private use, and sued him in front of the saint, I'm afraid that the king of Liaoyang County will also be red-skinned, right?"
"Yes, for 10,000 gold to sue the saint, I'm afraid that the saint will also be red-skinned, right?" Dugu is unscrupulous.
"Five thousand gold, is there more" Feng Yuanyi said softly.
"10,000 is 10,000, we can't let the weapon of this country lose its value"
"Six thousand"
"Ten thousand" Dugu Xinci thought about "six thousand in cash, and the rest can be mortgaged?" ”
"Mortgage?"
"Yes, mortgage, Lijingmen has raided countless homes, there are always some strange things, real estate villas and the like, just forget about the beauty and the little lady or something" Dugu Xinci smiled.
Feng Yuanyi called left and right to check how much capital there was, and stared at Dugu Xinci angrily.
"Hey, it's a big loss" Dugu Xinci is naturally not afraid" Qi Guogong knows the story of buying horse bones with a thousand gold? Qi Guogong used 10,000 gold to buy a Dan Fang today, and others knew about it, wouldn't everyone go to it, and what treasures were exchanged for money? Those things are useless in private hands, and maybe they are important weapons to the Empire."
Feng Yuanyi didn't listen to Dugu Xinci's nonsense, and looked at the account book handed over by Hairpin Hualang.
"Less cash, three thousand cash, and the rest with items as collateral" Feng Yuanyi looked at it and had a point in his heart.
"Five thousand taels of gold will be paid today," Dugu Xinci gave in slightly.
"That's okay, five thousand is five thousand" Feng Yuanyi didn't hesitate, brushed and wrote a few lines of words to make a list, and asked the hairpins to pick it up.
After a while, Hairpin Hualang brought a few boxes of things, two large boxes of yellow and clear gold leaf, two large boxes of various treasures, and a lot of papers.
Feng Yuan, the head of Lijingmen, glanced at it and handed the list to Dugu Xinci.
Dugu Xinci flicked the paper and took a look
"The words are good, quite orderly"
"Five thousand in cash, Big Bear counts, don't say five thousand, you can't count it"
"Five pearls, antiques, rhino horns, glass cups, the eye of the northern underworld? This thing is a lot of things, cross it out, cross it out, and it's worth a thousand taels? ”
"A set of shops in the West Market, well, it's worth a thousand eight hundred taels, a set of Pingkangfang house, it's worth five hundred taels, don't give it away for nothing, it's angry"
"Hehe, 1,000 acres of fertile land in the east of Wannian County, worth 1,000 taels, how can Qi Guogong bully a certain person who has not studied? Lantian Rimchuan 3,000 acres with villas, worth a thousand taels? Mr. Feng asked someone to go there to raise sheep? ”
Everyone finally received the poisonous tongue of the Demon Wolf Tianxing, and Feng Yuanyi twitched even more.
"Okay" Feng Yuanyi took the paper and added a few more items.
"Eight hundred acres of Lantian brick mill? Let someone go to herd sheep and send bricks and tiles for the fence? Changping Su 10,000 stones? Hey, even sheep feed is sent? What is it? Lijing door hairpin flower order, one thousand taels? Is it worth it? Hey, didn't you give one? ”
"The one in your hand has no right to dispatch, this is the golden order, Li Jingmen and the sixteenth guard lieutenant are under your dispatch, and a certain hairpin flower makes you say that it is not worth a thousand taels of gold?" The general manager of Lijingmen looks like he wants to eat people.
"Good, worth it"
"I'm not a picky eater, I want it" Dugu Xinci looked at the sky, it was dark, and the street drum was already a three-way "Then let's go, I'm tired of sending a car to send it"
Dugu Xinci wrapped the paperwork in a silk cloth, looked at the box, took out a large handful of gold leaf, and put it on the table, "A certain will not take advantage, keep it for tea money and fare"
"Who wants your tea money?" Feng Yuanyi was angry and threw the gold leaf back into the box.
"No wonder Lijingmen is so shabby, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat, don't want it, you can buy a few more sheep to go to Lantian to put it"
"Not to mention your sheep? What about things? ”
"What's that?"
"Something to buy for 10,000 taels of gold"
"Oh, Danfang? Send someone into the Qinren Fang to give? ”
Feng Yuanyi's muscles were blue, and his eyes were green, but he looked at the scoundrel in front of him.....
Qi Guogong rolled up his sleeves and shouted "go"
The six street drums are stopped, although the street drums have not stopped, but the streets in Chang'an Fang have been sparsely populated, only Jin Wuwei's street patrol soldiers are patrolling, seeing that it is Lijing Gate out, far away.
"Hey, like a rat crossing the street, everyone is easy" Dugu Xinci sat on the carriage and continued to chat with Qi Guogong on horseback.
"You are also one of them," Qi Guogong sneered.
"Oh, that's when the tigers go down the mountain, and the beasts retreat"
"Hmph"
"Qi Guogong, this is Anxingfang, your mansion? Do you have time to visit? Welcome? I heard that you like to sing and dance, do you wear clothes and dance? ”
"Why don't you wear clothes when you dance?" Feng Yuanyi felt that today was seeking skin with the tiger.
"There is no singing and dancing in a certain family, by the way, Dugujia likes to sing when they take a bath, they are undressed"
Feng Yuanyi really couldn't talk to him, so he galloped forward to lead the way.
There was no one on the street, the horse galloped fast, and arrived at Qinrenfang in two quarters, Feng Yuanyi asked the hairpin Hualang to open the door, came to Dugu Xinci car, and looked at him coldly.
"How can Qi Guogong look at him so kindly, he is still a minor Langjun, and his heart and liver are pounding?" Dugu Xinci continued to talk nonsense.
"Bring it"
"If you want to say it, how can you know that you want it? If you don't want it, you don't need to say it, of course" Dugu Xinci saw that Feng Yuanyi's eyes were gradually becoming unkind, and immediately changed his words, "Don't say it, Ben Langjun also wants to give it"
Dugu Xinci called over to the big bear, took out a piece of paper from the bag, and handed it over.
The word is a line of grass, one sulfur, two nitrates, three charcoal, and white phosphorus as a fuse.
Twelve words, 10,000 gold, Feng Yuan's muscles are fresh again.
"If there is a difference, see how you can fix the boy" Feng Yuanyi knew that this was a match, and he also believed that Dugu Xinci would not lie to himself at the moment, but he couldn't help but still speak evil and threaten.
"Ben Lang-kun is so scared," Dugu Xinci smiled.
Feng Yuan turned his horse's head around, not wanting to meet this demon wolf for a moment.
"Don't go, since you're here, go in and have a cup of tea" Dugu Xinci stayed, Qi Guogong, and Feng Yuanyi, the general manager of Lijingmen, ran faster.
"Hey, collect more materials, it's almost the New Year, a certain partner with Lijingmen to do a deal, Bao Ru will earn back the five thousand gold" Dugu Xinci shouted again.
Feng Yuan stopped at the horse, looked back, the demon wolf Tianxing under the gate smiled like a fox, Qi Guogong didn't want to talk, but he couldn't help shouting, "Seriously? ”
"I'm honest Xiaolangjun in Qinrenfang, I never fool people, I really don't go in to drink tea? It's okay to drink, and talk about it at night."
Feng Yuan turned his head, clamped the horse's belly, and didn't dare to look back.
There was a faint voice from behind Dugu Xinci telling him to pay attention to secrecy.
The group arrived at the Liaoyang County Palace, but the Liaoyang County King was still waiting in the lobby, and he was a little stunned to see so many guests.
Hua Qingqiu, the first apprentice of the Huashi Academy, is the only alchemist in the empire, oh, and now the only two alchemists Jin Wuying, the right Wei Wei Warlock Battalion Captain Gu Meng, and the Prince of Yan Tang, Shen Wangye Yan Chengyi, all of them all salute one by one.
The king of Liaoyang County was a little stunned when he watched Dugu Xinci order a few guards to move boxes of things back to the house.
"I saw Qi Guogong today, I was very enthusiastic, no, I forcibly sent some playthings and a certain "Dugu Xinci opened his mouth and talked nonsense.
The face of the king of Liaoyang County only twitched, obviously angry by the three words of Qi Guogong.
"Okay, all these things are put away, are you ready to eat? None of them have eaten."
Fortunately, the five fireheads of the Ascension Workshop prepared their meals during the day, and they went to the table immediately after a little heat, and everyone in the palace did not eat because they were waiting for Dugu Xinci.
During the banquet, with the big mouth of King Shen, the king of Liaoyang finally figured out today's matters.
"The sharp weapons of the country are naturally kept by the imperial court, and some silver money is used..... Well, it should be."
Okay, this is also the revenge of the Duke of Qi for the country.
"Demon wolf revenge, it's really never overnight," Gu Meng's magician sighed with emotion as he drank the once familiar burning knife. "If someone speaks badly, blow up half of the courtyard of the Warlock Association."
"Blowing up the Warlock Guild without a word?" Duguzhen was also a little confused.
Everyone pondered, but no, Dugu Xinci was kind to his own things, how could he not know the power? is still pretending to change the place for identification, President Wei blew up half of the courtyard with one mouth, I don't know if President Wei Yixiao is crying or laughing at the moment?
Feng Yuan killed the mistress of Dugu Mansion by mistake, and Dugu Xinci collected 10,000 gold rights as interest, afraid that Qi Guogong would not have a good dream when he went back tonight.
It was still boiled, and King Shen didn't get tired of eating it for two days, and the rest naturally feasted for the first time.
Dugu Mansion has not yet entered the house, and it is enough to stay in a courtyard for three or five people, and a group of people continue to drink tea after they withdraw from the table in a daze.
Dugu Xinci took out some things, and first gave Gu Meng's magician a document, "Gu Meng's magician is close to Pingkangfang, go and help someone check this mansion, if it needs to be rectified, it can be rectified, and there are craftsmen in the palace to repair."
"I live in Shengye Fang, it's okay to go and show you," Gu Mengshu took over, "No, Qinrenfang is not far from it, just find someone to take a look."
"It makes sense for you to go and see, and you don't have to stay in Beili when you go to Pingkangfang in the future, won't you save money here?"
"It's okay" Gu Mengshu knew that this was Dugu Xinci sharing the spoils, knowing that he was rich, he was too lazy to care, "A certain master instructed me to bring a few jars of wine back, but I don't dare to forget"
"That's not good, there are not many drinks here," Dugu Xinci shook his head, "There is a wine shop in Chang'an Fang, which is a certain industry, you will go there tomorrow to get it, as long as you don't empty it, you will say to Dean Ding, there is only one request, a certain wine needs to be widely advertised, Dean Ding needs to only drink Chang'an Fang wine every day, whether it is self-drinking or hospitality, to do this, as long as Chang'an Wine Fang produces wine, Dean Ding's wine will be drunk." ”
"What's so embarrassing?" Gu Mengshu knew that his teacher was a glutton in wine, and he rinsed his mouth every day.
"A certain wine shop is not a loss, Dean Ding drinks the wine of Chang'an Fang every day, the teachers and students of the Warlock Academy don't do the same, there are thousands of people in the Warlock Academy, etc., a certain wine shop just doesn't charge Dean Ding's wine money, and other people's wine money is inevitable, and even a certain will increase the price"
Gu Meng's magician finally understood how this son made his fortune.
"Huashi once had an old mansion by the Bahe River, I don't know where the senior brother knows where it is?"
"I know it, but Hua Shi left him and Hua An," Hua Qingqiu replied.
"Hua An is the nephew of the Hua Shi clan," Jin Wuying sighed leisurely.
"Senior brother and a certain are inconvenient to meet with that Hua'an, then please ask the alchemist for this matter, buy all the old mansion and the surrounding houses of Huashi, and tomorrow the senior brother will bring a box of gold leaf back, buy as much as you want"
"Okay, just buy so much for fear that no one will take care of it" Hua Qingqiu doubted.
"There are only two people left under the Chinese Normal School, but you can't let only two people remain under the Chinese Normal School," Dugu Xinci said indifferently.
Hua Qingqiu was thoughtful.
"This is the manuscript of the Chinese teacher," Dugu Xinci said, pointing to a wooden box. took out a few more volumes of manuscripts: "This is the experience of a certain master for a few years"
Hua Qingqiu was moved, he is more than fifty years old, and he has been an advanced magician for thirty years, but he has not broken through to the realm of a great magician, all because the Chinese master has gone to the north and has no one to guide him.
Hua Qingqiu flipped through Dugu Xinci's experience manual, and the more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became, after all, the same teachers and brothers, the exercises are similar, and many experiences can be confirmed by their own experience.
Dugu Xinci ignored his senior brother's indulgence, and then said, "The alchemist bought the old mansion of Huashi, can you build an alchemy laboratory around it?" ”
"Alchemy Laboratory?"
"Datang Academy doesn't have an alchemy laboratory?"
"Unheard" Jin Wuying Magician shook his head, "A certain experiment is at home"
"Why doesn't the alchemist's family object? Alchemy is dirty and dangerous."
"Alone"
"Does the elder brother have a family?"
"Nor None"
"Oh, three old single dogs" Dugu Xinci said and looked at Duguzhen, Duguzhen figured out the meaning of the single dog for a long time, and glared.
"That's right, this laboratory is bothering the alchemist, there is a conjecture related to alchemy in the box, a certain is lazy, and some experiments are troublesome for the alchemist to help verify"
"This is not something that can be done by one person" The alchemist was a little moved, it was the manuscript of the Chinese master.
"Don't you have many students?" Hua Qingqiu suddenly raised his eyes and said.
"Can a certain student participate?"
"Leave it to the alchemist, and the alchemist will naturally call the shots," Dugu Xinci said with a smile, "A certain tendency to commercialize the results of alchemy"
Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Dugu Xinci explained, "For example, this burns a knife, which is also the result of alchemy."
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Dugu Xinci poured out a bowl of wine, Dugu Xinci brought another candle, the flame shook on the wine, and the burning knife immediately surged a blue flame.
Everyone stared blankly at the wine bowl on the table, the fire in the water, no magic was used, this is a living example, King Shen reached out to touch the blue flame, wondering if it was real, immediately withdrew his hand, and was burned only to his mouth.
"This is alchemy, magic, isn't it? In fact, it's not magical" Dugu Xinci bit a cigar, put it on the wine bowl and lit it, and spit out the cigarette "Wood can make fire, can water make fire?" Or can't what can make a fire be called water? It is called alcohol, non-water and non-alcohol, no alcohol is water, and alcohol is wine, so where does alcohol come from? Grain fermentation will produce water, and this water will smell of alcohol, and this wine will be produced by alcohol."
"I see, I see," alchemist Jin Wuying spun around excitedly. "Water makes fire not water makes fire, but fire that is formed by other things dissolving in water"
"So how does this alcohol fuse with water? How much alcohol is mixed with how much water to make it taste like wine, and how much is it good to drink? Is this alchemy? "Dugu Xinci ignores a mad alchemist and continues to popularize alchemy.
Everyone nodded ignorantly, thinking that it was so profound, and that it was so simple, winemaking is alchemy, so many wineries, so many alchemists?
"Alchemy and alchemy, that is to make gold into water" Dugu Xinci continued to fool "more than a hundred experiments to get a correct result, the ratio of a wine needs a thousand times to confirm, you say that burning knives is more expensive than other drinks?" ”
"The money earned from burning knives now will continue to be invested in better wine, so that you can not only make more money, but also drink better wine."
"The same reason, for example, the alchemist synthesizes a new Dan method, which can help the fire spell to be easier to cast, and the synthesis of this Dan method has to go through countless experiments, what is the ratio of saltpeter to charcoal, how many particles are best, and when to use the best effect, all need experiments, this all requires materials, materials need money, and Datang Academy is not rich enough to consume materials endlessly, right?"
"So when you think a Danfa is useful, you can take it out and sell it, and the more money you earn, you can buy more materials and study better Danfa."
"This is a businessman, if you want to climb the clouds and encounter the wrong way, it is better to lean over and be a businessman"
