Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 14 I am not interested in money
"Amitabha, monks never steal." Xuan Ci said.

Monks don't kill! The second wife frowned, and seeing that the gym door was open, she said directly to her personal maid:
"Go into that room and look around to see if there's any stolen goods!"

The two maids responded and went into the gym. After a moment, they ran back to the door and said in surprise:
"Master, Madam, there is so much gold and coins in this room!"

What? There's really stolen goods?
The Second Madam snorted coldly, "What a pair of thieves, father and son, moving into the mansion with nothing. Chen Guangrui holds a lowly official position, he hasn't even taken up his position yet, where does he get so much money?"

Seeing Yin Kaishan walking over to check with a gloomy expression, he immediately followed him into the house.

The room was in a very messy state, filled with all kinds of strange things.

There are musical instruments similar to pianos and drums, long tables with glass bottles, alchemy furnaces and various materials... There is also a large area with various equipment, like a training ground for military physical fitness.

The most eye-catching area is the fitness area.

It was because the two ends of the barbell there were not stones hanging on them, but strings of Kaiyuan Tongbao coins;

Under the ropes of the traction equipment, hanging were ingots of official silver;
Huge golden cakes are strung directly on the shorter dumbbell bar!
The two were stunned.

Wow, this isn't just a lot of money, it's way too much. It's like a fortune!
Although Yin Kaishan was a worldly-wise man, he was still very shocked. He immediately walked over, took off a piece of gold cake with a hole in the middle and took a look.

It was discovered that it was indeed gold, weighing at least one hundred taels, which was enough to buy a house.

All the sharp words that the Second Lady had prepared before coming in were held back, because the money that she saw could not be earned by selling a few pets.

Not to mention Yin Silang's dog, even if his mother was sold at the price of twenty-seven years old, she wouldn't be able to get so much even if she sold it a hundred times!

However, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext.

The Second Madam quickly changed her mind and said:
"How could they have so much money? Could it be that they stole it from outside the palace? Xuan Ci is a martial arts expert and ruthless, so it's not impossible!"

Yin Kaishan said unhappily:
"The Jingzhao Prefecture and the Jinwu Guards aren't just for show. If all this money, including official silver awarded by the court, was lost recently, why haven't we heard of any case?"

He frowned and thought for a moment, then said to the maid at the door:

"Call Xuanci in."

When Xuanci heard the shouting, he was about to throw Chen Guangrui to the ground, but then he thought that he was a filial son, so he held Chen Guangrui in his arms and walked over.

Chen Xiaoke was still quite smart. Afraid of being beaten again, he quickly followed Gege into the house.

"Where did so much money come from? Tell the truth!" Yin Kaishan asked sternly.

"This is what I earned from my business."

"Doing business? What business?" Yin Kaishan asked.

Xuan Ci walked to the bench for bench press practice, carefully placed his old father down, then picked up a sack and poured out all the treasures inside.

The second wife saw the huge Ganoderma lucidum inside at a glance and wondered where these came from. The stuff is quite hard. I have never eaten such a big one.

However, she immediately discovered the loophole and questioned:
"You are a monk and you are doing business. Isn't this a violation of the precept of greed?"

Xuan Ci put his hands together and said pretentiously:

"Amitabha.

"Money is something outside of the body, like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, or a shadow, like dew or lightning. You should view it this way.

"I have no regard for money and have no interest in it."

The Second Madam was speechless, thinking to herself, are you kidding me? If you are not interested, why do you have so many hiding places?
She was about to retort, but the Buddhist teachings that had been forcefully instilled into Xuanci's mind finally found their place to use. His thoughts flowed like a spring, and he immediately added:
“Monks take it as their responsibility to save all sentient beings.

"This money does not belong to me, the poor monk, but to all sentient beings.

"I am only keeping them for safekeeping so that they can be better utilized for the benefit of the world."

Ah, this... the situation is so terrifying?
The Second Lady really didn't know how to refute, so she could only snort coldly to express her disdain.

Yin Kaishan glanced at the treasures on the ground and asked:
"You've only been in Chang'an for two and a half months, and you've already made so much money just by reselling rare and precious herbs? Furthermore, to expand this kind of business, you need both upstream supply and downstream sales. Do you have what it takes?"

"This is just a small business, I have a lot of other things to do~"

Xuan Ci walked over to the long, messy table, picked up a palm-sized piece of food that was just the right size to fit under his crotch, and said:

"For example, this new product that I've invested the most energy in recently will be sold all over Datang in no time. By then, the money I'll make will be so much that this whole room won't even be able to hold it all."

Selling all over the Tang Dynasty?

Hearing Xuanci's arrogant words, Yin Kaishan and the second wife walked over curiously, took the piece of material that looked like both white cloth and rice paper, and examined it carefully.

"What is this and what is it used for?" Yin Kaishan asked.

Xuan Ci almost laughed when he saw the old man take the thing, rub it with his hands, and even put it under his nose to smell it.

He tried hard to control his expression and said seriously, "This is Hu Shubao.

"Hu for door, Shu for comfortable, Bao for treasure.

"As for its wonderful uses...Xiao Ke, do another product test and let them see it for themselves!"

Hu~Shu~Bao? Yin Kaishan and the Second Madam muttered these three words, but they could not figure out their meaning, let alone guess their purpose.

In fact, this thing is a necessary consumer product that women have to use for several days every month. It is just the version from Xuan Ci Mother Star, and its functionality far surpasses the Tang Dynasty's substitute.

This is also the reason why he is confident that it will sell well.

Of course, this was not recommended by AI, and he did not do any market research. It was only because Princess Gaoyang came too suddenly one time that he accidentally discovered the business opportunity.

The amazing thing is~
This business opportunity subsequently triggered more business opportunities, and it was like a sudden enlightenment, completely triggering the technological chain in Xuanci's mind.

It is no exaggeration to say that this small piece of Hushubao officially kicked off the Tang Dynasty's transition from an agricultural civilization to a technological civilization, marking...

It turns out that most women in this world use reusable cloth strips as a substitute every month.

Even a wealthy person like Princess Gaoyang could only add some materials such as rice paper, herbal fiber or animal fur to enhance the comfort and leak-proof performance.

It is neither clean nor hygienic, and is prone to leakage. In Xuanci's opinion, it is almost useless.

So he immediately asked AI to use the existing materials and technology of the Tang Dynasty to see how to create Hu Shubao.

We don't ask for it to meet the standards, but we ask for it to be sufficient. As long as it has one-fifth of the functions of the original, it is the best of the best for the women of the Tang Dynasty!
He thought this shouldn't be difficult.

After all, although today's AI has no intelligence at all, it is knowledgeable and is very good at directly looking up information. It can list the materials, steps and processes in great detail and provide real-time guidance.

But he soon discovered that even though AI had simplified Hushubao to a minimalist version, there were still three main ingredients that could not be avoided:

Paper, cotton, starch-based hydrogels.

The latter two did not exist in the Tang Dynasty at all and needed to be made from natural materials.

The Tang Dynasty had paper, but the variety and quality were not good, and the cost was too high, so the papermaking process had to be changed.

So, business opportunities emerged again.

When Xuan Ci was trying to persuade Siqin to cooperate, he learned that the beautiful female shareholder of Wenyue Pavilion owned a large paper mill.

So, he wrote out a set of improvement plans in a very pretentious manner, which shocked the beautiful woman so much that she couldn't stop smiling, and she successfully bought a stake in the paper mill.

In the future, as long as I continue to guide them to improve the industrial assembly line, I can make a lot of money just from the dividends.

At the same time, he also obtained the resources of Baidiezi from a caravan traveling to the Western Regions through a wealthy woman.

Baidiezi is actually cotton, but the people of the Tang Dynasty had no idea of ​​its great uses in people's livelihood and military affairs. They only regarded it as an exotic flower from the Western Regions and grew it in the courtyard for dignitaries to appreciate.

The cotton is ready to be picked this season. After Xuanci purchased a batch, he successfully ejected the cotton fluff under the guidance of AI.

The closest cotton producing area to the Tang Dynasty is the U-Tsang Kingdom, but no one has yet planted cotton on a large scale. Xuan Ci plans to be the first person to do so in the future.

Finally, after half a month of unremitting efforts, he successfully synthesized starch-based hydrogel under the guidance of AI and the assistance of Chen Xiaoke.

The amount of blood it absorbs is definitely not comparable to the super water-absorbing factor synthesized by pure chemicals.

But again, for women in the Tang Dynasty, it was the best of the best, and could at least keep them refreshed for most of the day - except for those who took too much.

It is worth mentioning that in the process of synthesizing starch materials, Xuan Ci also discovered a business opportunity: people in the Tang Dynasty could not even afford pure sugar.

In short, he has mastered the code to wealth and has what he believes to be a very clear concept of how to gradually develop the technology industry chain.

However, if we want to advance these things quickly, we definitely cannot do it alone, we must find strong people to cooperate with.

So, who is the strongest among humans? It is Li Erlang of the Tang Dynasty!
Xuanci suddenly realized and decided to use his genius to establish a good relationship with Li Shimin, and it would be best if he could recruit him as his younger brother.

If you want to contact the emperor, you must find someone to introduce you.

Princess Gaoyang is definitely not suitable to show up. After much thought, it is most appropriate for her grandfather Yin Kaishan to introduce her.

And Hu Shubao was the sweet treat he gave to his grandfather.

Even if today's incident had not happened, he was planning to give this business to Yin Kaishan.

After a while, Chen Xiaoke spread another piece of Hu Shubao flat on the table, then picked up a cup, filled it with orange-yellow tea, and slowly poured it into the middle area of ​​Hu Shubao filled with water-absorbing gel.

Yin Kaishan and the second wife watched intently, their expressions full of anticipation.
