"It turns out to be a token." Liu Zheng carefully put away the folding fan.
"You are walking around the world as a foreigner, do you have a dharma title?"
"There is no name yet." Liu Zheng scratched his head, "But there is a nickname, called 'Liu Mumu'."
Wang Yehao was delighted after hearing this: "It just fits the order of the Five Elements. The 'Gold and Stone' is already in the house. From now on, you will be called the 'Taoist of Wood and Stone'."
"Thank you, sir, for giving me the title." Liu Yi bowed his hands in a salute.
"You must know that there is no shortage of people to use in my house. There is a reason why I want to use you."
"Yes, I understand, little one!"
"Don't break off the relationship between your brothers in the yamen and the outside world."
Liu Wei knew that Mr. Wang was interested in his connections in the Zhenfu Division. It seems that Mr. Wang has a big plan. However, as long as it's not a rebellion, it doesn't matter what you do. He has worked in the Zhenfu Division for many years and can be regarded as "bold" and "careful". He knows that as long as he is on the wrong team, being bold can actually be an advantage.
"Yes, but according to your orders."
"Okay." Wang Yehao called the other party forward and whispered, "Go to the city to find a house. It must be remote and quiet, and settle the two maids there."
"Sir, what is this?" Liu Zheng's face was full of doubts. Based on the situation just now, it didn't look like he wanted to hide his beauty in a golden house.
"No need to ask any more questions, just take care of it now and worry about it later."
"I understand, little one."
After giving instructions, Wang Yehao did not let Liu Zhen leave. Instead, he took out a book from the desk compartment and asked, "Can you read the incantation in the book?"
Before Wang Yehao wrote down the password in the notepad and returned it to Mr. Zhou, he secretly copied a copy. Over the past year, whenever he had time, he secretly took it out to study, but unfortunately he never got the right method.
Liu Wei looked through it for a long time, and could only shake his head: "I'm sorry, I'm a young man, but I have never learned such a spell."
"no idea?"
"There are thousands of spells in the world, and each sect has its own secret technique. I don't know where you got this book. If you know the sect, maybe I can find someone to interpret it."
"It's really a coincidence. I don't know where this thing comes from. If you don't know, just pretend that I haven't asked about it and don't mention it again." Wang Yehao put the book away again, "Go to the accounting room to get one. One hundred taels of silver, let's go and do some work."
Liu Zheng snorted, stood up and left.
Wang Yehao watched "Mu Shi" leave, thoughtfully. Recruiting more and more people is certainly helpful, but the family's expenses have also increased. Especially in the past two years, in order to grasp the direction in the turbulent government situation, he spent a lot of money. When he was on the imperial mission to Guangdong, he collected a lot of money, but after all, he lost a lot of money.
The Wang family can be regarded as a family of officials, but in the past two generations, not many officials have been in office, and their family wealth has not been accumulated much. He himself has been a Beijing official for a long time and has never been sent abroad. Therefore, we are quite concerned about "open source".
However, there was no one in the family who had business acumen, and the merchants could only receive a small amount of filial piety for their contributions. Moreover, the income from land rent was certainly rich compared to ordinary people, but it was still far from rich. When he and Immortal Zhou were chewing their teeth, they also talked about the art of Tao Zhu. Immortal Zhou is very arrogant, saying that as long as he gets the Universe Mirror, he can turn stone into gold. It doesn’t matter how much money you have.
This universe mirror seems to exist and not exist, so it is impossible to say for sure, but Immortal Zhou did talk about some ways of making a living.
The first is wine making. The Shaoxing area was originally famous for wine making, and the Wang family also had a small winery. But making wine requires good water. When making wine in Shaoxing, the best thing to use is Jianhu water. However, the lake water is limited, and there are many wineries in use. The Wang family's wine shop cannot be monopolized.
Shaoxing, Jinhua and Dongyang are mountainous and have a mild climate. There is no shortage of food or high-quality water for making wine. Jinhua Liquor, the most famous high-end rice wine of Ming Dynasty, comes from this area. However, the winemaking industry requires a large amount of water, and there are not many water sources with good water quality and sufficient water. It is troublesome to simply expand the scale of winemaking or set up a new winery. There is no such talent in Wang Yehao's family dedicated to this purpose. .
Mr. Zhou's idea is different from his. The category of rice wine has been overproduced in the Ming Dynasty. It was drunk by emperors and common people. There are many places of production, such as Shanxi, Shandong, Nanzhi, Zhejiang and so on. Regardless of taste or grade, they are all fully occupied. So his idea was to make liquor - which is also called "fire liquor"
However, liquor has a pungent taste and high alcohol content, and its customer base is not large, mostly from the lower classes. Especially the majority are military men and low-level laborers. Therefore, Wang Yehao sneered because he couldn't sell it for a price.
This week, Mr. Zhou said it was no problem, saying that he had a way to make liquor that tasted better, used better grains, and didn't test the quality of the water. He also said that as long as the cost is low and the sales are wide, you can naturally make a lot of money if you sell more.
"Now the imperial court is deploying troops in Liaodong. It is a bitterly cold place. The soldiers are guarding the border. How many times can they burn knives to warm themselves up? If each of these more than 100,000 troops can drink half a liang or one liang in a month, how much can they sell? ?”
Then he talked about many ways to make money, such as matches, spices, monosodium glutamate, revolving chairs, cosmetics, perfumes, dyes, medicines... there were no less than twenty or thirty kinds. He also talked about building windmills and waterwheels, smelting steel, burning Lime is used to make caustic soda... Wang Yehao was confused and felt that it was nonsense.
However, he was somewhat moved by the gentleman's "nonsense". There were many things that made people tempted just by hearing his descriptions. If they really had to be made, would they still worry about selling them?
This time when I returned to my hometown, someone happened to be selling a farm in Dongyang at a low price. The farm is located in a mountainous area. Although there are not many fields, it has abundant water resources and rich forest resources in the surrounding mountains. If Mr. Zhou really has the skills of Tao Zhu, it would be a suitable place to operate here. After all, once the operation takes off, someone will inevitably try to steal the secret technology.
Therefore, he quickly spent money to buy it and used it as a secret stronghold. Except for his close family members, no one else knew that he had another property in Dongyang.
Speaking of which, Mr. Zhou is very interested in secret investigation techniques. It is said that Zhou Lezhi and Liu Zhao reported that since he learned that Liu Zhao was the Jinyiwei detective, he often asked Liu Zhao to tell him about Jinyiwei and Beizhen. What happened in Fusi - it was beyond Liu Zhao's expectation. He knew a lot about the history of Benwei Bensi. Not to mention ordinary people, even low-level personnel like Liu Zhao had never heard of it.
Especially after hearing many anecdotes known by the "immortal", Wang Yehao knew that his so-called origin of going to sea with the Three Treasures eunuchs and practicing Taoism in danger was pure nonsense. If you really have stayed overseas for so many years, how do you know this?
Zhou Xianren also had many unique views on the investigation of crimes. Liu Zhao did not go into details on this, but judging from his expression, he showed some admiration.
Unexpectedly, this immortal is really a man of many talents. Not only does he predict the future, but he also knows a lot about various things. He even knows a thing or two about arresting secret agents. He even makes Liu Zhao think he is powerful. This made Mr. Wang even more confused about his origins.
Even though Immortal Zhou had great supernatural powers, which allowed him to gain many benefits, Mr. Wang always felt like he had a thorn in his back.
I don't know why, but Zhou Xianren always has an indescribable temperament.
"This man is definitely not a creature of the pond!" he thought to himself.
But if we say he has the temperament of a bastard or a hero, we can't really say that. In short, Mr. Wang found it difficult to control.
"There must be some evidence." He said to himself.
However, this week the Immortal is a loner with no family to control him. There is only one Universe Mirror that I cherish the most. Unfortunately, this Universe Mirror has not been found until now.
He has no relatives, no house, no calligraphy and painting... After careful calculation, this man has nothing. Apart from being afraid of death, there is really nothing to do with him.
Since you want to use him, you can't keep the knife on his neck all the time. Wang Yehao is not Zhu Yuanzhang. He knows that simply threatening to kill can only make people passive and slow down work, and it is absolutely impossible to make people work hard and actively do their jobs well.
All he could think of was to use women to seduce her, and it would be best to give birth to a son and a half daughters for him. With his own flesh and blood, he would not be able to help but be disobedient.
However, although the two maids Yui and Zhiling spent a lot of time with Mr. Zhou, they listened to Zhou Lezhi's reports and Mr. Zhou often criticized the two maids. Sometimes they used this to amuse themselves during the day when they had nothing to do. But the two never showed signs of pregnancy.
It stands to reason that the second maid is in her youth, and Mr. Zhou's appearance and body look like she is only in her early thirties, so she should not be empty at her knees.
During this period, Mr. Wang also asked a doctor to secretly check and regulate Second Maid's pulse. According to the doctor, Second Maid's kidney yang, kidney yin, qi and blood... had no major problems. Although some medicine was prescribed for treatment, there was no news at all.
If one person cannot get pregnant, it may be the woman's problem. If both maids are not pregnant, it is most likely Mr. Zhou's problem.
If this is the case, no matter how many women you send him, it will be useless. I have to heal up with him, but this person has already gone to Guangzhou.
Wang Yehao couldn't wait any longer and immediately summoned Liu Ying for discussion.
"I called you here to discuss, not for other reasons, but for Mr. Zhou," Wang Yehao sighed. "He has been in my house for a long time, and he has been very helpful. It's just that his knees are empty. Although he gave him two maids, he has always been No good news…”
All his words can be put on the table, even if someone told Mr. Zhou, half of them were found to be wrong.
Liu Zheng, the police officer of Bei Division, is the most sweet-hearted person, and he will understand what the master means as soon as he hears it. He smiled and said: "Master, what's the difficulty in this? Children and heirs are not the only ones who can inherit the incense..."
"You are right." Mr. Wang nodded secretly. This Liu Zhen is indeed a smart man!
"Is there a suitable child? The one who is safe and has no worries is the one."
"If the master has any instructions, I can just go and do it," Liu Zheng said. "I wonder if you are a boy or a girl?"
"He is still young and will probably have biological flesh and blood in the future. Since he is the son of a borer, let's choose a girl."
"Your Excellency is very concerned."
"This matter must be kept secret."
"I understand, little one." Liu Wei understood.
