Chapter 420: The Ye Family's Layout
Xiao Longying heard Ye Changsheng's question and chirped twice.
Not long ago, Zhang Daoxu wanted to go to Heifengling to have a look, so he took the restless Little Dragon Eagle with him, and now that the Little Dragon Eagle is back, Zhang Daoxu and they should also come back.
Ye Changsheng played with Xiaolongying for a while, then left the Desperate Career and returned to the Sword Hall.
In the past few days, he has been so busy that he has finally sorted out the things at hand.
The foundation of the Ye family is in the Asking Sword Hall, and asking the Sword Hall is also the focus of Ye Changsheng's busyness.
Now that he is a master of swordsmithing, he naturally no longer accepts orders casually, but transfers them to other swordsmiths.
And the other swordsmiths were also under the leadership of Elder Lu, working hard to improve the casting process, trying to keep up with the rhythm of the young hall master.
In addition, because of the support of Wenshan Academy, Wenjiantang established a new department, temporarily called the Copywriting Department.
The copywriting department is headed by four erudite Confucians, who specialize in the study of weapon styles from ancient times to the present day, and extract patterns and schemes that are both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
From this, it can also be seen that Ye Changsheng's ambition, he will not be satisfied with simply imitating the casting, asking the Sword Hall, he must have his own things.
As for the Wenjian Pavilion extended out of the Wenjian Pavilion, each branch still adopts the mode of restricting purchases, in fact, the function of the Wenjian Pavilion has changed from selling swords to displaying.
Ever since Ye Changsheng became a sword forging master, as soon as the sword of the Sword Pavilion was replenished, it was snatched up by the crazy crowd, so that the Sword Pavilion had to forcibly limit the number of sold.
The orders collected by various stores have overwhelmed Wenjiantang, and the orders have even been lined up for three years.
Therefore, whether it is to ask the senior management of Jiantang or Ye Changsheng, they are against opening a branch again, they need time to precipitate and digest.
If you want to go further, you must walk more steadily than others.
Of course, since the situation in the capital city of Yunlong City has been opened, it is still necessary to open a branch.
This branch was opened very low-key, just to declare the existence of the Ye family, and also to provide a fulcrum for the Ye family's expansion of power in the capital.
Another focus of the Ye family's development is the fleet that Ye Xiangdong is in charge of.
With the expansion of the scale of Wenjiantang, orders were overwhelming, followed by an increase in the purchase of raw materials, and the transportation of finished swords became more frequent.
River transportation is undoubtedly the lowest cost and most convenient transportation solution.
In the early years, the ships that the Ye family inherited from the Hong family and the Huang family were old and had accidents from time to time, and the warehouses and wharves along the coast were also in disrepair all year round, causing many inconveniences.
Now the Ye family is not short of money, so Ye Changsheng ordered three hundred new ships from the Wang family, a shipbuilding family in the East China Sea Principality, through the introduction of Governor Peng Zifang.
As for the repair of the warehouse along the river, it actually started two months ago.
The repair of the wharf was presided over by the Sanchuan Alliance, and not only the Ye family's wharf, but also the wharf controlled by other powerful and wealthy businessmen were also repaired.
Nowadays, the prosperity of Sanshui Town and even the land of Sanchuan is something that no one expected, and the wharf with a larger throughput and the largest storage capacity can be said to be the inevitable development.
The third focus of the Ye family's development is the alchemy workshop presided over by Zhang Daoxu's predecessors.
Today's alchemy workshop is not only responsible for providing cultivation pills and healing medicines for the Ye family, but also for providing pills for other top magnates.
For example, Zixia Villa, White Tiger Villa, Earl Mochou Mansion in Liuhe County, the Wu family of the county guard, and even some families in the provincial capital and other provinces are also trying to get the pills produced by the Ye family.
The pills produced by the Ye Family's Alchemy Workshop are not only of excellent quality and obvious effect, but also sold at a low price to these top magnates, how can the top magnates not be satisfied?
Not only were they satisfied, but they were also constantly increasing their purchases, and even took the initiative to provide various alchemy medicinal materials.
The longevity and prosperity of a family is inseparable from the cultivation of younger generations, so the thirst for cultivating pills in powerful families is almost endless.
It was also thanks to Ye Changsheng's foresight that he sold part of the shares of the Alchemy Workshop to the Zi family and the Bai family, pushing them in front of him.
Otherwise, those powerful people who asked for the Ye family's elixir would be able to level the threshold of the Red Leaf Villa.
Although Zhang Daoxu was a little dissatisfied, he had no choice but to be busy day and night.
Zhang Daoxu understood very well that the pill produced by the Ye family not only meant huge profits, but also a means for the Ye family to maintain relations with other powerful people.
The more powerful families can't do without the pills produced by the Ye family, the higher the status of the Ye family, and the heavier the weight.
So as soon as Zhang Daoxu came back, he immediately rushed to the Sword Hall to meet Ye Changsheng.
In the study of the Asking Sword Hall, Zhang Daoxu opened the box of rosewood, and when he saw the pill in the box, he couldn't help but be moved: "Huazun Dan?!"
Huazun Pill is an excellent rushing pill for cultivators to cross from half-step Supreme to Supreme Realm, but the Danfang and the process of refining Huazun Dan have been lost thousands of years ago.
Zhang Daoxu also saw a Huazun Pill that had been passed down from ancient times decades ago, so he recognized it.
With his many years of alchemy attainments, he can naturally see at a glance that the Huazun Pill in front of him has a mellow body and a pure breath, and it is a truly top-level Huazun Pill of ancient inheritance.
Where did Childe get this elixir?
Zhang Daoxu was shocked in his heart, but he didn't ask after all.
Ye Changsheng casually took out another booklet, and said: "This is the process of refining the Zun Dan that I have recently sorted out, as well as some of the reasoning of the Dan Fang, you can take a look at it first." ”
Rao is Zhang Daoxu's realm is profound, but at this moment, he was moved again, and said in a lost voice: "Childe, don't you want to refine the Huazun Dan?!"
After the loss of the Huazun Pill, for thousands of years, many top sects and hidden cultivation families have tried to test the Huazun Pill, but most of them have failed.
In Zhang Daoxu's impression, it seems that in addition to the top three major sects, there are also Buddhism and Demon Sects, and it seems that the Huazun Pill has been refined, but the medicinal effect is much inferior to the ancient Huazun Pill.
Now that Ye Changsheng hopes that they will have a small workshop to refine the Huazun Pill, how can Zhang Daoxu not be shocked?
If you want to replicate the Huazun Dan, not to mention the manpower and force invested, just a large number of test materials are enough to drag the Ye family down!
Ye Changsheng looked at Zhang Daoxu, who was shocked, and smiled: "You take a look first, I won't do it." ”
In the memory of the Wuji Demon Venerable, there is a part of the process of refining the Huazun Dan, as well as the composition of the Dan formula that he reasoned, in fact, the Demon Sect was able to imitate the Huazun Dan, and it was precisely by virtue of the inheritance of the Wuji Demon Venerable.
Now standing on the shoulders of giants, it is not completely impossible for the Ye family to refine the Huazun Pill.
Sure enough, Zhang Daoxu took the booklet handed by Ye Changsheng suspiciously, and just read the first page and was fascinated.
His face became more and more excited, and his eyes became more and more shining, so that he forgot about Ye Changsheng's existence and was completely immersed in the reasoning and dialectics of the pill.
"Wonderful, really wonderful, wonderful!" Zhang Daoxu put away the booklet and Huazundan, forgot to salute, turned around and ran.
