Give the things to the clan, I will continue to study, and it will really produce profits, just give me 20 to 30% dividends every year. "

Liu Tong took a deep look at him: "Don't worry, Uncle Liu won't let you suffer." He looked at the recipe that You Hongyin brought. The manufacturing process was also written on it. Liu Tong didn't know much about literacy, but he was very good at it. Focusing on the key points, other processes of this recipe are easy to figure out, but the raw material processing is the key to confidentiality!

So Liu Tong said: "The processing of raw materials is still in your own hands. If I don't live for a few years, others will not throw you away." He has experienced war and will never take huge profits. To test human nature, because basically it cannot withstand too many tests.

You Hongyin said: "It's too early to talk about this now, let's bake the finished product first."

A few days later, Liu Tong was extremely excited while holding a crystal clear teapot. Immediately, the whole village was called to a meeting to discuss this matter that would benefit the whole village.

You Hongyin finally gave Liu Tong the raw material processing method and asked him to be the controller. He agreed with Liu Tong's cautious and preventive attitude, but it did not mean that he would do the hard work of processing raw materials. . Otherwise, why would he give the prescription to the clan? It's not like he has no other ways to maximize the value of this prescription.

Although You Hongyin didn't get the cash immediately, he used the excuse that he couldn't cook to go to Liu Tong's house. The daughter-in-law who was the chef of Liu Tong's house carefully combined and selected the limited ingredients every day and cooked in different ways. His craftsmanship is average, but much better than that of You Hongyin himself, which finally freed him from the embarrassing situation of drinking plain porridge every day.

This is the first step.

Apart from Liu Mengzhi's initial dissatisfaction with You Hongyin's handling, Liu Tong's colleagues have slowly calmed down recently. To be honest, from the perspective of a bystander, Liu Tong, the village chief and clan leader, has done a very successful job, even though he is not highly educated. , but compared to the original two Liu Mengzhi, they are better behaved and less selfish, always thinking about the whole family. Liu Mengzhi is just a fan of the authorities, not completely ignorant of good and evil. Therefore, he has stopped being angry with the people in the village recently. Even if he has a grudge, he will not beat them all to death with a stick, and completely put everyone against him.

You Hongyin saw that people in the village were busy with farming and began to prepare glass products, so he began to prepare for the second step.

Chapter 3 The Dream Lantern Turns to Ashes (3)

Although colored glaze is a man-made thing, its value is comparable to real natural pearls and jade. Why is this? In addition to the difficulty of making it and the preciousness of its materials, there is also the reason why literati have loved it and composed poems for it since ancient times.

"Color is the same as ice, nothing can separate the delicate jade, like a banquet that cannot be seen, it is worthy of the jade woman."

"In ancient times, it was called Jingliuli. When things appear, I am always silent."

"The water soul is light and dark, and the glass is thin and dusty."

Only when you are famous can you have a market, and only when you have a market can you have value.

So You Hongyin planned to give the glass a nicer name, and call it Shuiyu, crystal clear, jade in water. Then write a poem or compose a children's song to be sung to make the glass famous, and then you can sell it at a better price.

You Hongyin pondered for a long time, and finally wrote a nursery rhyme on the only table in his house: "Transparent as ice, bright as crystal, jade comes from the water, and the jade is like water, it is suspected that the Dragon Palace is traveling on land."

Yes, You Hongyin plans to use glass to build a fantasy Dragon Palace model, which will definitely make him famous.

He gave the nursery rhyme he had written to Liu Tong, had another meal by the way, and then stayed at home to rest. Now that he had done everything he could, the next move would have to wait until Glass, no, Shuiyu, made a name for himself. Only by selling money can he continue.

Three months later, the entire Liujia Village gathered at the ancestral hall, and everyone was extremely excited. The children in the village didn't know what was going on. They ran around and played while running around and playing, looking very carefree.

Liu Tong was also very excited, but after all, he had experienced a lot, so he held it in check: "Ahem, cough, cough, everyone must have divided the money. Don't be too happy. If nothing happens in the future, this will be our Liu Tong." descendants of the clan The passed down craftsmanship that can be relied on to make money. When I went home, I thought clearly about whether the temporary interests are more important, or the interests of future generations, and the interests of generations are more important. Teach the children in the family well, and don’t throw things at your door. Give away the wealth again!”

Although the villagers in Liujia Village have various problems, they are not stupid people, and there are no people with brain circuit problems. Looking back on the silver coins they received, they probably have never seen so much money in their lives. Driven by interests, how could they not stick together, so they wholeheartedly agreed to Liu Tong's warnings.

You Hongyin took the two thousand taels of silver he had received, including one thousand five hundred taels in bank notes and five hundred taels in cash, and raised his eyebrows: "It seems we can proceed to the next step."

As for how long Liujiacun's peace could be maintained under such huge interests, it was not his concern. He came up with this recipe just to make money.

He always believes in one sentence, loyalty, just because the chips for betrayal are not enough.

You Hongyin's previous letter to his enlightenment teacher Chu Shenzhi received a reply. It seems that this teacher still has a good impression of the owner of the body. Ha, teacher, I just love students who are single-minded about studying but also careless, no, simple-minded.

During these three months, the teacher and the student have been communicating with each other. You Hongyin also sent small gifts from time to time. The peddlers who traveled between the two places were the messengers. Finally, a few days ago, You Hongyin asked his teacher to write a letter of recommendation. He wanted to go out to study. Although Mr. Chu was only a juren, he had taught for almost half his life. Among the students he enlightened, several of them became officials. He also had many good classmates, so he could be considered to have a wide range of friends.

Mr. Chu saw that it was just a letter of recommendation for study, so he thought about it and wrote it. He sent it directly with the correspondence, and also pointed out in the letter where he could go to study and what to pay attention to on the road.

When You Hongyin saw the letter from the old gentleman, his heart softened. He couldn't think of any other way to repay him, so he designed a set of glass tea sets, asked the villagers to burn them, and sent them over himself.

Then he was punished by Mr. Chu's ruler: "It's been almost five years, and there is no progress at all. Do you think you can escape the ruler by sending a set of gifts?"

You Hongyin went home angrily.

Seeing this, Liu Mengzhi, who was originally depressed by You Hongyin's easy acquisition of two thousand taels of silver, suddenly felt better. He said gloatingly: "Haha, you still want to take the imperial examination? If it weren't for Liu Mengzhi's memory, you might not even be as good as he was five years ago. So, why bother to go to such lengths to restore your relationship with that old man?"

Because the extradited person said that You Hongyin had the same starting point as him, he had the memory of the former Liu Mengzhi, and You Hongyin naturally had it too, so in his opinion, You Hongyin's knowledge of classics, history, and collections was entirely due to the memory of the former Liu Mengzhi.

You Hongyin sighed lightly: "Isn't it good to have a teacher who is close to you when you are alone in this world? Don't you think it's so lonely to be alone?"

It seemed that something secret in Liu Mengzhi's heart was touched, and Liu Mengzhi's soul suddenly shook, and then lurked back into the depths of his body again, and stopped talking.

You Hongyin's ironic smile was like a flash in the pan. When he looked again, his face was relaxed and relaxed again. There was nothing else to see.

Then You Hongyin bought a donkey, bought some necessities, prepared the materials needed for the road, took all his belongings, the pass and the recommendation letter, bid farewell to Liujia Village, and embarked on the so-called study tour.

"Why are you studying? Why don't you do some big business while you have the capital in your hand and suppress that Li Dabao completely." Liu Mengzhi probably sorted out his mood and ran out to see that he was actually studying. He was worried about this person.

"Why not imitate the sages?" You Hongyin, who was riding on a donkey, asked leisurely.

"Is there something wrong with your brain? You can't take the imperial examination. Studying is to increase your knowledge and fame. You might as well copy a few famous poems to increase your fame." Liu Mengzhi did not object to copying ancient poems. Didn't the ancients themselves say that the world's articles are copied. He still remembered a lot of inventory at that time, but he hadn't touched on this aspect at that time, nor did he consider using this trick to increase his reputation.

"Liu Mengzhi has lived in this world for twenty years, and the farthest place he has been to is Mr. Chu's academy in the county. Although you have been to some places for business later, you are not too far away from Liujia Village. In this world with underdeveloped communications, information is the most valuable thing. We are now looking for the most valuable things. How can you say it is useless?" You Hongyin said patiently: "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Books only record the past, and what you see yourself is the reality. In addition, it can also help you better understand the survival rules and customs of this dynasty. This is an indispensable step."

The ancient road was not as easy to walk as imagined. You Hongyin's first stop was Shangrao, where the literary style was flourishing. Liujia Village was located in Jiujiang. Both belonged to Jiangnan, and the distance was not too far. However, he rode a donkey for more than ten days to walk such a short distance. ♦This work♦ is♦provided♦by♦Thin♦Tu♦Net♦for♦online♦reading♦

Then, I traveled around and stayed in an inn for a while, got acquainted with some local people, and learned about the specific situation through conversation. I also listened to some policies implemented by local officials, etc. The Dayin Dynasty did not have very strict restrictions on speech. Not only scholars could talk about the court system, but ordinary people who were directly affected could also talk about it.

Along the way, You Hongyin would also set up a small stall to write letters for others. He was traveling alone, so he had to pretend to be a fat sheep, so as not to be slaughtered.

After seeing Jiangnan, You Hongyin headed towards Nanyue.

The journey along the way was a bit lonely. Although there was Liu Mengzhi, he was now awake for a limited time every day and could not play any role. You Hongyin simply bought a little book boy of eleven or twelve years old from a human trafficker. He did not expect the child to do anything, but just acted as a person to talk to.

He gave the little boy the name Moqi, and then rode his donkey with the boy to continue southward.

Three years later.

Moqi rushed into the main house and shouted, "Young Master, something bad has happened."

You Hongyin was practicing calligraphy: "What's wrong? How can you be so scared at such a big age?"

Moqi was embarrassed for a moment, and then said anxiously, "Master Li has detained our fleet."

Lord Li is the official of Wuyang City. He is from a local family. He was not appointed through the imperial examination, but was recommended for official career. Wuyang City is located on the coast of Nanyue, which is too far away from Kyoto. The court has not thought about carefully managing and rectifying this barbarian land, so You Hongyin settled down temporarily after coming here a year and a half ago.

The fleet that Moqi mentioned was built by You Hongyin with the cash he had. Nanyue has many dense forests, good materials are easy to obtain, there are many shipbuilding craftsmen, and many seafarers with rich experience in going to sea. It is easier to pull up a fleet than imagined.

Although it is impossible to sail over long distances, these three ships that he has improved can travel farther than other ships today, and there is no problem in doing maritime trade along the coastline.

At the beginning, there was only one ship due to limited funds. Fortunately, this ship started to make money after it was put into use, and later expanded to three. Of course, although he has a fleet, he has always only been engaged in cargo transportation in the coastal land, and has not been bold enough to do business in other countries, so the risk is very low.

"Sir, go and have a look." Mozi was almost anxious to death when he saw his son still writing leisurely. He knew that the son did not value money very much, but he was too carefree to be so leisurely after all his belongings were seized.

"Don't worry, mistakes will happen in a hurry." You Hongyin said, "Let's go, I'll go and have a look."

Finally, when they arrived at the dock, they found that it was just a false alarm. Lord Li came to check after receiving a report that the ship was selling illegal salt.

You Hongyin understood that if this was not Lord Li's excuse, then someone was jealous.

There were more than one fleet in Wuyang City, but he was able to take a ship in just one and a half years.
