After Xu Ling got You Daozi's approval, he still studied health care seriously, and planned to go back to teach his mother and father-in-law's family after learning well.

The days on the boat are very regular, Xu Ling wakes up every day and first follows You Daozi to play a set of health boxing, and then eats, after eating, You Daozi meditates, and he goes back to the house to enter the space to work.

Although the section of the river from Lingbao Town to Quanzhou can be navigated, it will take a day and a half longer to reach Quanzhou than before.

But for so much time, it just happened to be the stolen goods that Xu Ling got by pounding black and eating black.

Two of the wooden boxes are filled with official silver, about 1,000 taels, Xu Ling took out one and observed carefully, the official silver ingot as a whole is in the shape of a ship-shaped ingot, with the seal of Bianjing on it, the color is warm and bright, and the quality is far better than the silver in private circulation.

However, you can only see it, but you can't spend it, and it's better to be ordinary silver ingots.

Xu Ling casually threw the official silver back into the box, he planned to take advantage of this time to be idle and put the knowledge in his mind into practice.

Nine years of compulsory education plus three years of high school, but he is not very proficient in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but that knowledge is still hidden in his mind, and now he has turned it out, combined with the knowledge in the hardcore crossing novels he read in his previous life.

Xu Ling felt that he could also do it with his hands.

Let's start with smelting official silver.

The reason why Xu Ling chose to practice in space is because he can change the topography here, so that the spring water falls from the high cliffs, constituting the simplest water energy.

The clay of Qinghe Town, the bricks burned in Lingbao Town, Xu Ling easily built a soil stove by the river, used water energy to turn the bellows, puffed the furnace fire, watched the furnace fire rise, the furnace gradually solidified and hardened, Xu Ling's first attempt was declared successful.

However, such a way of smelting silver is not enough.

The melting point of silver is as high as 961 degrees Celsius, and although it cannot catch up with iron, it is not easy for ordinary household stoves to melt silver.

Xu Ling built an earthen furnace to calcinate cement and then make a more sophisticated blast furnace.

Even if he remembered the production process in his mind, Xu Ling was still nervous when he started it, just like studying chemistry in his previous life, the knowledge of chemical reactions in books could be memorized, but he couldn't imagine it until he saw it with his own eyes.

Only by doing it yourself and experiencing it, the knowledge in those brains will be more integrated, and people will suddenly realize: "Oh, so that's the case." ”

Xu Ling threw the limestone into the earthen furnace, the charcoal fire continued, calcined the raw lime at high temperature, and the gypsum did not need to be made by him with hard work, it could be bought from the outside, and when he prepared these, Xu Ling would grind and sieve the broken porcelain collected from outside Dingping Village with a stone mill, and then mix it with the above two things in a certain proportion, and finally it became mixed cement.

It took Xu Ling about three days to gradually grasp this ratio, and the cement made for the first time was not much, but after Xu Ling added sand and water to stir, he found that the performance of the cement was very good.

After that, he began to make blast furnaces with cement, masonry, and iron plates, during which he failed many times, but Xu Ling lacked time and patience the most, and he was naturally not afraid of failure.

In space, he can change the terrain and the flow of water, and if any danger occurs, he can also be snuffed out in the cradle.

In this way, when the ship arrived in Quanzhou, Xu Ling finally got busy with the results, and successfully built a blast furnace in the space, melted the official silver and recast it, and turned it into silver bars.

At this time, the first month has almost passed, Xu Ling took everyone to get off the ship in Quanzhou, Quanzhou is still lively, the merchants on the street come and go from north to south shuttle here, bringing up to twenty or thirty thousand foreign population to Quanzhou, and also bringing prosperity.

Xu Ling first arranged Nie Peng and others in the shop, and at the same time saw Bao Li who was rescued in Yazhou.

He came as promised, and was left in the shop by Lu Chun to do some chores

"Owner! You're finally here! Lu Chun was even more excited to see Xu Ling than his father, where had he ever seen the owner who disappeared as soon as the shop was disgraced!

Seeing that the goods in the shop were almost sold out, and the inventory in the warehouse was getting smaller and smaller, he was looking forward to Xu Ling's return every day.

finally brought Xu Lingpan back, counting the one, two, three, four...... behind him There were more than a dozen strange faces, and Lu Chun was numb.

"Boss, who are these people?"

"You arrange a place for them to live first, and I will take them away in two days." How's the shop? ”

Xu Ling asked Lu Chun to send the account book to the room and began to check the accounts.

He left Quanzhou for about a month, and the shop made a profit of more than 1,300 taels in this month.

In addition to the goods he stored, he also signed a contract with some other businessmen to reach a cooperation agreement, which can be regarded as a stable source of goods.

Since Xu Ling is going to open a grocery store, the goods will naturally be miscellaneous, from iron and farm tools to needlework and cloth, and the guests come in to buy things, only they can't think of what is not in the shop.

Seeing this, Xu Ling was also very satisfied, and praised Lu Chundao: "You are always looking forward and afraid of this and that, isn't this a very good job?" Don't worry, give you the moon silver! ”

Lu Chun's face was happy, who doesn't like to raise silver! It's really not in vain, he invited his father to come to the town to come up with ideas, and finally didn't let the shop break off business.

Xu Ling told Lu Chun that the out-of-season vegetables will be delivered soon, and there are a lot of vegetables this time, but I am afraid that the Cuiyun Pavilion family will not be able to eat so many goods, so we will do more activities, send some benefits to the people, and attract some new customers.

After talking about the things in the shop, Xu Ling asked Lu Chun's opinion about Bao Li.

"What do you think of this man?"

Lu Chun thought for a while and said: "He is an honest man, he can also take care of things, he has been working hard these days in the shop, doing all the work, I asked him to be a small steward in the store, he said that he didn't want monthly money, I didn't give it." I heard that it was agreed with you? ”

Xu Ling said with a smile: "I have other uses for him, you can find someone else to be in charge for you." ”

In one sentence, he deprived Lu Chun of the guy he had cultivated with great difficulty.

Lu Chun's face instantly drooped.

"Okay, let's have a new batch of spices in the shop, you go to some craftsmen who know how to make incense, make some incense boxes with different porcelain woods, and sell them in the shop."

The three wooden boxes of spices that the scalding man snatched from the Wei family are not small, and if they all flow into the market in one go, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion.

Xu Linggang melted a batch of official silver, and now he is not short of money in his hands, so he wants to digest these spices into pieces.

Lu Chun has lived in the local area for many years, and it is easier for him to find workers, he is obedient, and he wants to do it after receiving the job, and he doesn't ask much.

Under the command of Xu Ling, Lu Chun was busy with his work. Xu Ling was not idle, first went to the two warehouses on the dock, unloaded the ripe vegetables in the space in the dark warehouse, and then went to Yaxing to find Lou Qiaosheng.

broke off the cooperation with the scalded man, Xu Ling couldn't find anyone to go north to pull the displaced people to Yazhou, instead of spending manpower and material resources in the north, it was better to buy people back in Quanzhou directly.
