Daming Taoist Medicine

Chapter 179 Chapter 179

The low-key development proposed by Yang Fan, although everyone didn't understand it, they readily accepted it.

Zhou Juncai asked, "Then what should we do for a living?"

Yang Fan smiled and said, "Two directions."

Lin Chao: "Please enlighten the head."

Yang Fan said solemnly: "My lord, please keep your mouth shut about today's matter." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yang Fan said: "Food, clothing, housing, and transportation may seem insignificant, but they are actually an indispensable link in human activities, and can even influence the fate of a country. Clothes, we have them; okay, we actually have them, but they are only in the initial stage; then It’s time to infiltrate into food and housing.”

Seeing that everyone listened seriously, Yang Fan chuckled and said: "Since ancient times, wars have caused food prices to remain high. When disasters strike, the people will be displaced. In fact, the number of people who died in military disasters is far less than that of starvation. Take the national war as an example, the state was demoted and fell, and the number of deaths in the war was only a few thousand, but there were no fewer than ten thousand refugees who fled all the way, and there were corpses on the side of the road. Merchants follow the wind and deliberately drive up grain prices; businessmen are greedy and deliberately raise land prices; causing people to be displaced and starving. We establish grain merchants to control grain prices, so that more people will not be starved to death, and build real estate. It is to let more people have houses to live in." He took the backpack on Cheng Qing's body, took out the banknotes inside, and patted it in the middle.

Yang Fan: "There are more than 100 million taels here. You use the money to build the post-war Lanling City and restore it to its former prosperity. First build roads, and then build government offices, hospitals, private schools, banks and commercial streets. Some of the free gifts are used to attract talents. As for the construction of houses, the final consideration is unified design, unified planning, and phased construction.”

In fact, this amount of money is far from enough to build a city, but Wu Zhoulin and the three who know how to do business and have done business will not worry about this kind of problem.Some things, as long as they start, don't need to think about the end.Because everyone's longing for beauty will force things to the best results.

Yang Fan said: "The shop is only rented and not sold, and all the houses are sold to civilians in installments."

Several people were puzzled, Wu Qian asked, "What is installment?"

Yang Fan pondered for a moment and explained: "For example, a house sells for 300 taels, and ordinary people generally cannot afford such a large sum of money, so let them pay the bill for 30 years, only 10 taels a year. We only need 50 cash per month, but we receive 52 cash, this business model is called installments, and the extra two cash per month is interest.”

Zhou Juncai exclaimed, "Lin Chao changed his surname to Wu."

Lin Chao praised: "Wonderful."

Yang Fan said with a smile: "As for how to operate, the two directions are as follows: Brother Zhou is mainly engaged in domestic operations, mainly building Lanling City, opening shops to collect rent, buying land and opening grain stores. Brother Lin is mainly engaged in foreign trade, selling salt, and smuggling weapons , selling cattle and livestock."

Lin Chao worried: "Now it's all like this, can we still trade?"

Yang Fan smiled and said: "Don't worry, war is a process of resource integration and redistribution. If the trade between countries is smooth, there will be no war. Now the relationship between the two countries is tense, but trade will still be needed sooner or later."

Lin Chao pondered for a moment, then said: "If we sell weapons and salt to the enemy country, will we help the evildoers and end up suffering instead?"

Yang Fan said: "Without these, wouldn't they know how to thresh the millet? Selling salt to them at a high price is to help them settle down. As for selling inferior weapons to them, firstly, they can update their own weapons. Second, the Muchen Kingdom with good weapons can better resist the Condor Eagle Empire. You say that if there is no Muchen Kingdom as a barrier, would our pressure be greater or less than it is now? It's inevitable, but you may cut vegetables by yourself, so don't you need to cook again because you will hurt yourself?"

Lin Chao bowed and saluted, and said seriously: "The head of the sect is very thoughtful, and what he said is true."

Yang Fan laughed and said: "When the time comes to heal your body, Wan Zhumen will not admit the relationship with you, and you should not show your relationship with Wan Zhumen. Formally, you will not belong to my Wan Zhumen."

Lin Chao was inexplicably stunned, his sense of loss was fully exposed, and he opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Fan: "Not only you, but also brother Zhou, and I even plan to release some disciples. After you arrive in Jianghu, and Wan Zhumen There can only be a transaction relationship. As for the others, it’s better not to let others know. It’s just a formality that has nothing to do with Wan Zhumen, not really. I can’t explain it clearly, so just say one word, and you should understand my intentions .”

Zhou Juncai asked, "What word?"

Yang Fan said: "The cunning rabbit has three caves."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Yang Fan said: "From now on, Brother Lin will bear the burden of humiliation and be a traitor in Muchen Kingdom."

Lin Chao: "If you get back a good war horse every year, it doesn't matter if you bend the spine at your fingertips?"

Yang Fan said seriously: "I don't need you to buy war horses, even if you buy them, you have to do so in moderation and in small quantities."

Lin Chao: "Then what business?"

Yang Fan said solemnly: "Increase their sheep, rabbit, and cattle prices, don't ask why, just do it."

Lin Chao: "Yes."

Yang Fan: "After buying sheep, cows, and rabbits, they will be handed over to Brother Zhou for sale." The disciples in the city interrupted Yang Fan's topic happily. Seeing the disciples happily stacking the food under the city wall, Yang Fan looked at Zhou. Juncai looked at Tian Tiantian again.

Zhou Juncai smiled and said, "Next, do you want to say that there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever?"

Yang Fan smirked and said: "There are many crises here, life and death are unpredictable, disasters and fortunes are unpredictable..."

Zhou Juncai nodded and smiled and said, "I understand. There will be a large number of wounded here at that time. They need a lot of food, medicinal materials, and doctors. Lanling City also needs strong labor and various craftsmen to do the aftermath. I understand."

Yang Fan handed a pile of bank notes to Zhou Juncai, and said earnestly, "Thanks for your hard work."

Zhou Juncai laughed, and said, "You give me the money, is this called hard work?"

Everyone agreed and laughed heartily.

Lin Chao said with a smile: "Spending money is indeed not hard, but if you want to spend it well, it is hard work."

Yang Fan and Wu Yan had a deep understanding and naturally nodded in agreement. Although the others couldn't understand, they also nodded in a decent manner.

A group of people talked and laughed, ate and drank, and didn't realize that night fell, but the lanterns did not stain Lanling.

Zhou Juncai and Tian Tiantian stood up reluctantly, and said with a smile: "There will be a time later." Then they took four Wanzhu sect disciples and left in a cool way.

Cheng Qing pinched Yang Fan and said angrily, "It's so late, it's so dangerous outside, why can't we let them leave tomorrow morning?"

Yang Fan said earnestly: "The wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains have long been fed by the refugees who starved to death, but the swords in the city are sharpening their knives and waiting to be washed with blood."

The crowd mourned.

At the north gate, under the city gate, Wang Kemin was lying on the square table like a hedgehog. The teapot on the table was shot by arrows, and it was torn apart and a mess.

The night wind blew, Wang Kemin's clothes swayed slowly, his hand suddenly lifted, the original hand gently pushed away Wang Kemin's arm, Wu Enqi poked his head out from under the table cautiously, his face pale Open an arrow path.

Panting heavily, he looked up at the night sky and saw that the sky was full of stars and the moon was hazy, so he staggered back to the camp under the cover of the sky, an arrow pierced his stomach, and several arrows pierced into his back. A super expert, even if he didn't whine on the spot, he wouldn't have the strength to walk.

Wu Enqi looked back at Lanling City Pass, feeling a little lonely as a hero, thinking of him as a majestic super master, beaten by Feng Qingyang, beaten by Lei Guangming, finally picked up a simple task, capsized in the gutter when he came out, Half of his life was taken away by a lieutenant general of the four realms.

At the beginning, when Wu Enqi saw Wang Kemin drinking tea, he naturally did not suspect him, so he also took a sip, and when the conversation got excited, he suddenly saw Wang Kemin's face was strange, and then a flying arrow pierced through the air, Wu Enqi immediately It didn't feel right, so he dodged without time, and quickly got under the table, but under the cover of the arrow feathers, he was shot in the abdomen after all, and fainted under the severe pain and poisonous erosion, unconscious.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to meet patrolling soldiers, and was carried to the central army account by the soldiers, which saved Wu Enqi a lot of pain.

Hearing that Wu Enqi was not killed, Wu Mu didn't care about wearing shoes, one was barefoot and the other was wearing shoes, and rushed out to check in a panic.

Ebony: "Come here! Hurry up and tell the imperial doctor! Hurry up and carry it to the big account!"

After entering the ebony tent, Wu Enqi turned over and fell on the ground, holding the ebony bare feet, gently wiped them, and said weakly: "Khan! Your feet are dirty."

Ebony said: "It doesn't get in the way, it doesn't get in the way, your injury is what matters."

Wu Enqi wept and said: "This subordinate is terrified. This subordinate is a trash who has not accomplished enough but failed. He has never completed a task properly. I am ashamed of Khan's kindness, and I beg Khan to grant him death."

Wu Mu touched the top of his head and said seriously: "Although every time is unsatisfactory, it is indeed not your fault, and it is not because of your incompetence. You can escape from death again and again, which shows that you are a lucky general, not a waste general. Well, instead of falling down in self-blame, it's better to rise up in self-improvement." While talking, a big man in a tiger hat came with a wooden box on his back, and the man bowed slightly to Wu Mu, then squatted down to help Wu Enqi up.

The big man took his pulse, looked at the arrow feathers stuck on Wu Enqi's body, and conceived a plan.

Ebony asked with concern: "Jijia! How is he?"
