Chapter 32 Seeking Talent(1/2)
A black-bodied man was riding a boat, taking Lin Xi's family and Zhang Erye, and Jiang Xiaoyi went down the river.
The appointment of Yanlai's town governor has been officially issued. Although Lin Xi enjoyed the comfort of the Lotus Lake, he knew that Yanlai's villagers who had destroyed their houses and fertile fields after blocking the river dam were uneasy and were waiting for him to go back.
So he couldn't rest.
The river is calm and quiet, and the blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the water.
Mr. Zhang's cough sounded again, and the black-bodied man riding the boat looked worried again, and the oars in his hands were a little chaotic, which shocked the swimming fish in the water plants.
"Brother Zhang, your illness sounds quite good. You have to hire a doctor to take care of it and take a rest for a while."
Lin Fu felt heartbroken when he heard the sound of Zhang Erye's chest twitching when he coughed, and couldn't help but persuade him.
"It's okay... I get used to it when I cough." Zhang Erye said a witty remark that made Lin Xi's mouth curled upside down. He coughed several times, but looked at Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi and said, "It's a blessing in disguise. If you keep it for another year, you should be able to maintain it well."
Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi were slightly stunned. Looking at Mr. Zhang's waxy but smiling face, they completely understood why Mr. Zhang was so relaxed. After understanding the true meaning of his words at this moment, they really smiled happily.
The news of Xu Ningshen's escape had already been heard, and Ma Hongjun had also been picked up by someone from Zhounianshan. However, the three of them already knew about Ma Hongjun's soul power cultivation methods and some unique methods obtained from the Thousand Demons' Cave of Damang.
Some practice methods related to meditation and soul power shaking the body are naturally useless for Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi.
Because the practice methods of Qingluan Academy at all stages of practice are more perfect than these.
For both of them, the magic body technique is some use.
Many of Yunqin's academies and schools of practice, including Qingluan Academy, have the technique of gathering Qi. The so-called gathering Qi is a desperate means to burst out a large amount of soul power at once and enhance the power of a single attack. Because the body of a cultivator is a container for soul power, and the explosion of soul power that exceeds the normal body can accommodate will naturally cause considerable damage to the body.
The magic body technique of Thousand Demons' Cave is also a means to mobilize a large amount of soul power, but it gathers and penetrates the soul power into a certain part of the skin and flesh of the body.
This method can make a part of the practitioner's body particularly hard and tight, just like a piece of hard armor.
But this method is not the highest secret technique of the Thousand Demons' Cave, because Lin Xi and Jiang Xiaoyi have tried it. It takes at least four or five breaths to gather soul power. When this technique is used, one part of the body becomes extremely tough, while other parts of the body become more fragile than before. This is just equivalent to mobilizing the soul power that originally permeated the body to the point and making a shield.
Therefore, when Ma Hongjun and Qin Xiaoyu were facing the enemy, they had no time to use this technique, and their eyes were blinded at once. Therefore, this technique could only be used when facing a strong enemy and secretly calculated. They gathered their soul power in one place, and withstood the opponent's attack while resisting the opponent's opponent.
But Mr. Zhang is just an ordinary folk practitioner. These meditations and soul power shocking practice methods have given him more insights.
The wounds of his chest and lungs are hard to work. Only when his cultivation is improved and his vitality is stronger and his soul power is shaken can he recover slowly.
Now that Mr. Zhang said this, it means that his cultivation level should be able to officially break through to the cultivation level of the Great Soul Master in just one year.
His injuries were also caused by Ma Hongjun, and the benefits gained from his practice at this moment were also obtained from Ma Hongjun. This is really rewarded for one reward.
The light boat slowed over thousands of mountains.
...
Donggang Sangyuwei.
Chen Haozhi, wearing mourning clothes, was busy feeding a few piglets.
The cut pig grass is mixed with bran, and the piglets grow very well.
Suddenly, several people rushed into his yard like robbers and grabbed the pig food bowl in his hand.
"Mr. Kobayashi is here... He wants to see you, so why are you feeding pigs?"
What these old and young neighbors said immediately made the dull farmer who was not very flexible in his mind suddenly stunned, but the next moment, he immediately threw the wooden basin in his hand and quickly snatched it out.
Lin Xi was wrapped in the packages of countless people around Sangyu.
"Mr. Kobayashi!"
"Mr. Kobayashi..."
A series of excitement and affectionate shouts wrapped him tightly.
He smiled and talked to the people around him, and saw Chen Haozhi squeeze in.
"Chen Haozhi."
Lin Xi took the initiative to greet the dull farmer.
"Mr. Kobayashi!"
The dull farmer didn't know what to say, so he wanted to kneel down and kowtow directly, but Lin Xi stretched out his hand to support him steadily.
After patting the man's broad shoulders, Lin Xi asked directly: "Your grandpa is an old dam builder. He said he would pass on everything he knew to you. If I asked you to help rebuild a river dam, can you?"
Everyone around him heard that Lin Xi was going to talk about the major issue of rebuilding Yan to block the river dam, and his voice suddenly became quiet.
Chen Haozhi was not very good at speaking. At this moment, so many people's eyes were gathered on him, and he became more and more nervous, but he didn't need to say anything more at this time. Looking at Lin Xi's expected gaze, he nodded heavily and spit out a word, "Can."
"Distraction and construction of canals should be easier for blocking river dams, and you should understand it too, right?" Lin Xi smiled gently and patted his shoulder again.
Chen Haozhi nodded vigorously and said, "I understand."
"We have saved Sangyuwei, but we have not been able to save Yanlaiba. I think your grandfather is in the sky and want to watch the dam rise again." Lin Xi bowed to Chen Haozhi instead and said, "I want to ask you to be a student of the Yanlai Town Works Department first and help me prepare for the construction of the dam. I wonder if you are willing?"
Chen Haozhi's heart was filled with unspeakable emotions. Of course, he wanted to say his willingness, but he was too dull and too excited and complicated. He opened his mouth for a moment, but he couldn't speak.
"Boy Chen, please agree!"
He couldn't speak, but the people around him were already anxious and shouted.
"Don't worry. If you agree, just nod your head." Lin Xi knew Chen Haozhi's temperament very well and smiled.
Chen Haozhi opened his mouth and still couldn't make any sound, but he was the most pressing head in his life, with tears rolling down his eyes.
...
...
Tongmu Town.
In an ordinary Sihe Courtyard study room.
A middle-aged scholar wearing a tulle shirt embroidered with green bamboo is checking some books.
These books are sealed with cowhide dyed blue, and the three words "Baichuantong" are embroidered with black thread.
The middle-aged scholar had a sparse hair and a slightly bald head, but his face was pretty and his eyes were bright, but he had a unique aura of being arrogant without anger.
"Dole...doles"
The study door sounded lightly.
Hearing the knock on the door, the middle-aged scholar raised his head slightly, put down the account book in his hand, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Come in."
A slightly rich man in his fifties looked over 50 and pushed the door open and nodded slightly to the middle-aged scholar, saying, "The boss, Yan Lai, the governor of the town, wrote a letter to Lin Xilai."
The middle-aged scholar frowned slightly and said, "It is to rebuild the river dam and ask for silver... Heng Rongchang and Lu Fuji owe him great affection, but I, Baichuantong, did not owe him any kind of financial resources, nor did Heng Rongchang and Lu Fuji have as much financial resources as Heng Rongchang and Lu Fuji. Moreover, how much silver is needed for this river dam? I will be replenished with fertile land and resettled so many people. How much silver is needed? If a lot of silver is given this time, then it will be like a bottomless pit. Moreover, our merchant ship is not in Yanlai and the Donggang stops, which is not good. Manager Ning, you should not understand these things. Why do you have to ask me if you spend hundreds of taels of silver?"
"This is very interesting. If you want silver, you need silver, but it is different from others who want silver."
Ning Baiming, the shopkeeper of Baichuantong, the third-ranked business in Xizi River, smiled slightly, and handed the document in his hand as he spoke.
The middle-aged scholar saw the document he handed over at a glance, but was immediately stunned and couldn't help but read it lightly: "Plan?"
The document handed to him was a booklet with the cover saying: The plan, the signature is Lin Xi.
...
Just when Dongjia Qu Benqiao, who was in Baichuantong, received a letter from Lin Xi, Dadexiang's boss Xing Derong was looking at three pieces of soap paste.
This soap paste is made of soap beans, used to clean the body or clothes.
The whole Yun Qin said that this thing was soap paste, and only Lin Xi has always been accustomed to calling this thing soap.
Dadexiang is not famous in the entire Ludongling and has never been a big business. However, in the past two years, when all the big business in Ludongling have not been paid attention to, Dadexiang has earned a fortune at an astonishing speed.
With the cash silver that can be obtained, Da Dexiang may not be able to rank among the top 20 in the entire Ludongling Commercial Bank, but two years ago, Da Dexiang could not even rank among the top 100. I am afraid that even taking 500 taels of silver at one time would make it unsustainable.
This development speed is amazing. If a big shop suddenly notices Da Dexiang's rapid growth without showing signs of dew, he will definitely be shocked.
Xing Derong is already fifty years old. Although he inherited the shrewdness of his ancestors and followed some horse teams for many years in his early years, his horizons were much higher than those of ordinary business owners, but the financial resources of small businesses were limited. Generally speaking, without the help of noble people, it would be impossible to make a big splash soon.
Dadexiang's main business has always been selling honey. The honey produced in Yunying Town, where the business is located, is of extremely high quality. But in the past two years, the other two businesses, lamp oil covers and this soap paste.
Yunqin usually lights ignition oil lamps at night, and the price of tincture oil is low, but the smell of smoke is pungent.
The lampshade made by Dadexiang uses several layers of bamboo fiber filter paper, with two layers of fine bamboo charcoal interposed in the middle, and the smoke was smoked and almost all filtered out.
This soap paste was originally available, but the ones produced by Dadexiang all added spices to it. Just a little change is very popular.
Nowadays, in several eastern provinces in Yunqin, most of the people have used Dadexiang's lampshades and soap paste, but the things are relatively small and are not paid attention to.
But Xing Derong, who is the boss of Dadexiang, knew very well that these two things that made Dadexiang make a fortune were the ideas of a Lin family shop.
At present, the three soap paste in front of him were light green, one was beautiful crimson, and the other was light gold.
Just adding mugwort, honeysuckle and other medicinal juices to it, making the soap paste look much more beautiful and has some insignificant effects. With only a small change, the soap paste has caused a snatch.
And this is the idea of the Lin family shop!
The owner of this Lin Family Shop may not be an expert in how to use silver to make silver, but he is definitely the one who is most sensitive to people's preferences and business opportunities.
Although Da Dexiang has made some achievements now, as long as such a person's ideas are used by a large business, Da Dexiang can easily be crushed back to his original form.
Xing Derong looked at the three soap paste and waited anxiously.
Suddenly, he heard the footsteps outside. Before anyone could knock on the door, he couldn't wait to speak out: "Come in!"
The one who came in was his son, Xing Tianyang, the young boss of Dadexiang.
