Chapter 7: Techniques and Taoism
The Five Emperors Double List is the best incentive, and the list that changes every ten years, and the amount of every name that changes on it, is the tomorrow that this group of Sense-Qi Realm martial artists who have applied for cultivation funding dreams of.
As a result, everyone practiced more and more to their lives, and those who practiced Jinggong like Yuan Danian had to practice until they were in a trance, muddy, and so tired that they fell asleep with their eyes closed before they would stop.
And those who practice the guidance of movement also try to touch the limits of their bodies and spirits.
This is an achievement that was difficult to achieve under the pressure of Commander Lou in the past, and it is amazing to watch.
The sponsored Qi Sentimental Martial Arts were desperately ruthless, which also directly affected the cultivation atmosphere of the dojo students.
Based on Zhou Shang's own character and the teaching mode of the Five Emperors Dojo, it is destined that there will not be that kind of situation that forces people to practice.
Therefore, the monk's personal willingness to practice becomes very important, the upper limit of the Five Emperors Baolun Gong is extremely high, but the lower limit is actually the general top-level exercises.
Before the sponsored monks did not go up the mountain, the atmosphere of teaching and practice in the barn was very relaxed.
But after the appearance of these sponsored monks, the old students of the dojo also began to be ruthless.
More and more martial artists who originally adhered to the steady practice of breaking the mirror began to kryptonite.
It is said that most of the temperament of an organization comes from the leader of the organization.
And the young genre of Rapid Dan Dao, because of the relationship between Wang Gua and the mentor, the wild Dan masters are all very wild.
There are all kinds of potion formulas to restore physical strength and relieve fatigue, there are the kind that are designed based on orthodox herbs, and there are also the kind of swords that go off the rails and are designed with poisons, all kinds of things.
Because they had tested it on themselves before they started selling, and the people who took the medicine were also cultivators, and they were very solid.
Therefore, there was no such thing as the recovery agent eating people to death, and there were a few cases of vomiting and diarrhea.
Of course, after that, those wild Dan masters who had problems also lost money and changed their ways.
Generally speaking, although the road of Rapid Dan is wild, it has always adhered to bold innovation, and the number of roads based on actual results is still good.
It's just that the foundation is weak, and the level of the wild Danshi is also uneven, so the prescriptions that come out are also good and not bad.
But heroes are born in troubled times, and such a relaxed creative environment can eventually produce some great results.
It's like one of the best-selling recovery pills in the Rapid Dan Dao today, which is a house pondered by the wild Dan master Qin Ming, called Anshen Dan.
This elixir does not have any restorative effect, and the only effect is to make people sleep more soundly and soundly at night.
But this is such an elixir, but it has become the best recovery elixir.
With the help of the magic elixir, in just half a year, there are dozens of old students in the dojo, who have reached the standard of walking Qi.
The number of names on the list has doubled.
Subsequently, the production of Qi chicken expanded again.
Zheng Fu has implemented Zheng Qian's business ideas very well.
On the one hand, expand the scale of breeding and popularize breeding standards, so that more Yongning people can participate in this business and get benefits directly from this business.
To this end, Zheng Fu launched a new business, which was to sell Qi chicken seedlings directly to the residents of Yongning.
An adult chicken sells for nine dollars, while a chick that goes to Qi only costs six.
For Qiankun Commercial Bank, there is not much difference in the money earned.
But for the villagers outside Yongning City, as long as they are raised for six dollars, as long as they are raised for a month, they can grow to more than 20 catties of broiler chicken seedlings, which is the same as picking them up for nothing.
At first, everyone in the firm thought it was a win-win situation, until one day after the end of the year, Shen Chi hurriedly went up the mountain to find Zhou Shang.
Shen Chi, who was standing at the door of Zhou's commercial house, had anxiety and helplessness on his face, and kept pacing back and forth.
As soon as he saw Zhou Shang returning from the evening repair, he hurriedly greeted him and explained his intentions: "Captain Zhou, please persuade the old shopkeeper quickly, you can't do it like this anymore!" ”
"Come inside and drink a glass of water and talk slowly."
Zhou Shang glanced at Shen Chi, opened the door and welcomed people into the house.
As the master of the Five Emperors Dojo, Zhou Shang's residence was cleaner than when he was in the camp.
At least at that time, there was still a need for washbasin towels for washing, but now in this room, there is only a bed without bedding, a table with many books stacked, half of the open wardrobe, and a bamboo basket on the side, in which all the dojo practice clothes are hung, but other than that, there are no other ornaments in the room, not even pots and plants.
Shen Chi felt that he had lived a simple life, which could be compared with Zhou Shang's house, he felt that he was extravagant, and his heart was inexplicably shocked, and even the anxiety when he came was diluted a little.
After Zhou Shang brought him the only stool in the room and handed him a glass of water to drink, Shen Chi was already able to calmly explain the reason for going up the mountain to ask for help.
"Captain Zhou, have you ever heard that the breeding base is now selling Qi chicken seedlings to the outside world?"
Zhou Shang nodded, indicating that he had heard, and then motioned to Shen Chi to continue.
"At the beginning, the old shopkeeper proposed this sales method, which greatly increased sales, but in recent months, the situation has become more and more wrong!"
Shen Chi went straight to the point and said: "Those villagers who buy chicken seedlings back, only part of them are raised to eat meat, and more are directly raised to sell locally, because the scale of breeding is small, and the grain they use is self-produced, so their selling price can be on the same level as our firm, or even lower." ”
"Originally, our broiler business, the circulation in the city and the orders of the Taoist hall are the majority, accounting for seventy percent, but the purchase of village and town residents outside the city also accounts for two or three percent. But the emergence of these people has greatly impacted our market share! ”
After listening to Shen Chi's explanation, Zhou Shang, who was half-leaning on the desk, patiently listened to Shen Chi's explanation, and asked without any emotional fluctuations: "Do you think that selling chicken seedlings to villages and towns will soon affect the business of our business firm, so you hope that I will come forward to persuade the old shopkeeper to stop this kind of sales?" ”
"Exactly."
Seeing that Zhou Shang was a little thorough, Shen Chi was overjoyed and full of expectations.
But Zhou Shang didn't say anything, just glanced behind Shen Chi, and then asked, "Have you talked to the old shopkeeper about this?" ”
"Of course!"
Shen Chi vomited bitterness when he mentioned this: "I have talked to the old shopkeeper many times, but he just refuses to listen, if it weren't really impossible, I wouldn't have come to beg you to come forward!" ”
"What did the old shopkeeper say?"
Zhou Shang then asked.
"The old shopkeeper told me not to stare at the poor people's rice bowls and concentrate on building roads. But I'm staring at other people's rice bowls, now our rice bowls are going to be smashed! ”
Shen Chi vomited bitterness: "Our breeding scale and output have increased rapidly, and the sales increase has not been able to keep up, but now there is this incident, and the business flow is no longer healthy!" ”
"With the profitability of our firm's broilers, if you can sell them a month after the chickens, you can still make money, but if you raise more than 20 catties of adult chickens for another two or three months, you will lose the profits just for the sake of not losing the meat of the grain feed, if it drags on for a long time, it is a loss of money."
"Originally, the cycle was good, but since the old shopkeeper began to sell chicken seedlings, our broiler sales are declining, and those township-raised adult chickens will definitely impact our order market, and there will be further declines in the future."
"As far as I know, there are several small dao halls that have reached an intention with the towns outside and are ready to start cooperating, this is a signal!"
"The market is about to shrink, but our output has been increasing again and again, the situation is very dangerous, Captain Zhou!"
After listening to all Shen Chi's words, Zhou Shang looked at the young man in front of him, and felt a sense of trance that seemed to have changed, and suddenly asked, "Did Shenjia Village buy chicken seedlings?" ”
When Shen Chi heard this, his expression froze at first, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Treat everyone equally!" ”
"Aren't you sad?"
"I have to look at the big picture!"
Shen Chi's expression was a little gloomy.
"What's the big picture."
Zhou Shang first smiled, and then asked: "Even if we don't sell the Qi chicken seedlings, the consumption growth of Yongning City will be able to catch up with our production increase?" ”
"This.... At least give us some time to react! ”
Shen Chi gritted his teeth and said.
"But if the direction of the strain is wrong, the more time there is, the more outrageous the mistake will be. If you have a better idea, why don't you tell me about it yourself, so that the young man can reassure him and let him concentrate on building the road? ”
Zhou Shang first said lightly, and then said behind Shen Chi.
After a while, a slightly helpless male voice sounded outside the house.
"It's the first time to wade the river, so I don't know if it's a good way."
Zhou Shang opened the door and welcomed the person who was outside the house, it was Zheng Fu who the two had just discussed.
Zheng Fu, who entered the house, pointed to Shen Chi, who was a little at a loss, and said to Zhou Shang with a smile: "I guess this kid is coming to you if he can't make sense here, who wants to hurry up and can't catch up, or the young man has good legs!" ”
"So the old shopkeeper is here to find Xiao Shen?"
"No, I'm here for you."
Zheng Fu smiled and waved his hand: "The owner said that you have a lot of knowledge and always have ingenious ideas, so let me come to discuss with you any problems I encounter, and I will come." ”
After speaking, he turned to Shen Chi and said: "If you don't have the eyesight, there is a chair at the head of the house, I didn't see the old man climbing the mountain and being tired like this, so don't hurry up and walk away and give up your seat!" ”
Although Shen Chi didn't see where Zheng Fu was tired, he immediately gave up the seat.
Zheng Fu was not polite, and after sitting on the chair, he asked Zhou Shang: "Shen Xiaozi just said well, now the growth rate of production is higher than the growth rate of consumption, so I plan to use the existing several main roads through the city to open up trading orders in the outer city, but based on this alone, I am afraid that it is not enough to catch up with the growth rate of production, what other ideas does Zhou Xiaozi have?" ”
Originally, Shen Chi had no intention of speaking again after seeing Zheng Fu enter the room.
Because his main duty now is to preside over the construction of Chi Dao, but he is fully concerned about the business of the trading house, and when he heard Zheng Fu asking Zhou Shang for advice as if he was in a hurry to seek medical advice, he still didn't hold back his anxiety and said:
"Old shopkeeper, if you want to ask about any way to broaden the market, it is better to convene the shopkeepers in the industry to discuss, they are all old people in the business field, Captain Zhou is a pure cultivator, you ask him about business, this is not... It's not..."
Zheng Fu glanced at the anxious Shen Chi, and scolded with a smile: "The methods that businessmen can come up with are nothing more than some techniques to open sources and reduce expenditure, only people like Xiao Zhou can give another way!" ”
Shen Chi was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to refute it, but he faintly felt some truth in his heart, so he turned his gaze to Zhou Shang, who was calm.
And Zhou Shang, looking at the night outside the window, considering that it was very close to the rest time, he had no meaning of being tactful and polite, so he said directly: "Two ideas can be used as a reference for the shopkeeper, I just heard Shen talk about the business situation, in fact, the problem is mainly in the increase in the cost of unsalable chickens, in this case, why not directly slaughter the unsalable adult chickens on the spot." ”
After listening to Zhou Shang's thoughts, Shen Chi thought about it for a long time, but still shook his head and retorted to the point:
"Smoked and pickled after slaughter? I'm afraid it's not good, the loss will be very large, and smoking and pickling are additional processes, the process is cumbersome, and the cost has to be increased. Besides, the taste of the finished product is not good, the fresh meat can't be eaten, who wants to buy dry and chewy bacon and bacon, if it is sold at a low price, we will only lose more! ”
"It's not smoked, it's frozen after slaughter."
Zhou Shang didn't bother with right or wrong, but said directly.
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Fu's eyes lit up, and Shen Chi shook his head faster.
But before Zhou Shang could open his mouth, he continued: "The cold ice palm power only needs one or two serious senses to cultivate, even in the scorching summer, it can turn water into ice. This solves the problem of freezing. ”
"If the frozen meat can be stored in the ice cellar, it can be stored for at least a year, which can greatly relieve the pressure of sales time, and the frozen meat takes up little space, which is very convenient for storage, transportation and sale."
Shen Chi was stunned when he heard it, and the words he wanted to refute were only the meaningless "Aba".
Zheng Fu, on the other hand, immediately felt that this idea was particularly interesting: "So we should build a huge cold storage!" ”
"That's right! That's right! ”
And Shen Chi, who was still opposed just now, his eyes were already in the shape of Zhou Shang at this time, and he quickly put forward his own supplementary ideas: "A large slaughterhouse should also be built on the edge of the cold storage, and all the unsalable broilers should be sent in, frozen on the spot after slaughtering, and sent to the cold storage to keep them fresh to the greatest extent!" ”
Thinking like a spring, the heart is hot, the more the two of them talk, the more excited they become, once the problem of increasing the unsalable cost is solved, and there is a twelve-fold extension of the sales time limit, Shen Chi only feels that the future is infinitely broad.
There is also a kind of pride that is fearless even if the output skyrockets.
Is this the difference between Tao and art?
Shen Chi looked at Zhou Shang with a calm face, and his heart was agitated.
But he knew that all these visions were built on this set of ice palm power and freezing effectiveness.
So he asked Zhou Shang, "May I ask Captain Zhou, is this ice palm power difficult to practice?" How effective is it? How long does it take for the Qi Monk to freeze meat? ”
"I don't know."
Zhou Shang's single's stall hand.
"It's not clear what it is... What do you mean? ”
Shen Chi blinked, a little unclear.
"I haven't done the exercises yet, how can I know the effect, wait until I get it out, and then find a feeling to practice!"
Here, Zhou Shang groped with his palms, his face full of excitement.
As soon as the other two people in the room heard this, Zheng Fu couldn't help but look dark, and Shen Chi's heart was half cold.
I was excited for a long time just now, what one or two serious things can be practiced, and what turns water into ice in the hot summer, it's just a distant fantasy!
But far away, at least there must be a quasi-letter, so Shen Chi asked: "Captain Zhou, when will we see this kung fu?" ”
When he asked, Shen Chi was very apprehensive in his heart, because creating the Fa has never been a simple matter.
And Zhou Shang's expression undoubtedly confirmed Shen Chi's guess.
After hearing Shen Chi's question, Zhou Shang frowned slightly, groaned for a long time, and struggled for a long time before he opened his mouth to give an answer.
"Tomorrow."
Shen Chi was stunned when he heard this, his eyes full of disbelief.
Perhaps feeling a little sorry for the creation of the Qigong method, Zhou Shang opened his mouth and explained:
"It's too late today, I need to rest, and I'll get it tomorrow."
