Shenkeng system

Chapter 26
Zhu Gui, with a calm appearance, was not moved by Zhao Si's passionate rhetoric, but still looked at Zhao Si with a smile on his face, as if wearing a smiling mask. Although there is a little appreciation, but I can't guess the deeper thoughts in his heart.

Zhao Si had no choice but to continue talking, but he was not confirmed by Zhu Gui's words. He felt that talking in this direction should not suit Zhu Gui's appetite.

Zhao Si then said bluntly: "Of course, I have been taught by strangers and learned many subtle methods, which can improve many things, such as improving bows and arrows! If an ordinary person can draw a bow that weighs more than one stone, it is considered to be very strong! A bow of more than two stones can only be pulled by one of the best hands; a bow of more than three stones must be drawn by only a few people in the world, right? I can improve the bow so that ordinary archers can also draw a three-stone bow!..."

"Really?" Zhu Gui was obviously interested.

"Really! This is just one of the many subtle arts that my younger brother has learned! My younger brother also learned the art of war..."

"Little monk, this is not insignificant! Do you know that when the two armies are facing each other, one side generally uses a one-stone bow, and the other generally uses a three-stone bow?"

"Of course, the three-stone side has a long range, completely suppressing the one-stone side!"

"That's right! This kind of suppression alone can win more with less at critical moments, and can decide the outcome! What did you just say? Do you know the art of war?"

"Little brother knows soldiers! I also want to show what I have learned, but it is a pity that there is no way to serve the country. Now that I am in the village, I see that Liangshan soldiers are strong and strong. In such a messy world, I may be able to do something in the village. Therefore, by offering wine I hope that my brother can recommend my younger brother to Chief Wang!" Zhao Si was full of sincerity, confidence and humility at this time.

Zhu Gui finally nodded and said: "The wine is indeed good. If it is sold to the world as you said, especially in the bitter cold places in the west and north, it should be sold at a sky-high price. It can indeed bring considerable income to the cottage. However, I Seeing is believing, when you create a three-stone bow that can be drawn easily, I will take you to see the big boss, okay?"

"Thank you brother! It's just that I need some materials..."

"It's easy to handle, but if you need something, find Qi San, as long as it's not a rare thing, he can provide you with anything!"

"My brother thanked my brother!" Zhao Si paused and bowed.

Zhu Gui appointed a steward to lead Zhao Si and Jiao Erpi out to find Qi San.

Zhu Fu hurriedly stood up and said: "Wait a minute! This matter is over! I don't care about other things, but I, Zhu Fu, are indispensable for the wine making. This wine was made by the little brothers of the Zhao family. Now, let's get two jars. After eating, the little brothers of the Zhao family turned around to do other things, what are we going to sell to the world?"

"Oh! It's my negligence! My brother has passed all the methods of making wine to Brother Jiao! Next, Brother Zhu Fu will find some people, find a big house, and hand it over to him, and promise to make wine every day!" Zhao Si said with a smile.

"I still need raw materials!" Jiao Erpi said eagerly.

"Haha, of course I have to give you the raw materials! The brothers of the Zhao family have arranged this way, so I can rest assured! Old brother Jiao, just tell me what you need, and you must make more of this wine. I can guarantee that you can buy as much as you have! "

Jiao Erpi bowed his hands and agreed.

"Little brother has a suggestion. If this wine is to be sold, it must not be less than two taels of silver per catty!" Zhao Silang said.

"What? Two taels of silver? Is this okay? Isn't this a money grab?" Zhu Fu said with a smile: "If this is really possible, what kind of money would we be grabbing with a knife every day? Selling wine is enough!"

"My little brother thinks that if this is done, it will indeed be faster than robbing money! After the wine is made, don't buy it yet. Send a large number of brothers, wearing luxurious clothes, riding BMW carved cars, to the capital, to Yangzhou, and In prosperous big cities such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, we go to the most upscale restaurants, bring our wine, order the food in public, heat our wine, serve it, and start eating. When the restaurant is crowded, we accidentally knock over the jar... Rich The aroma of the wine will definitely attract people to watch and ask, and then generously invite everyone to share it. At this time, it is said that this wine is sold in a certain place in this city... Two taels of silver, for those dignitaries who are drinking in high-end restaurants For nobles, wealthy families, dignitaries, big businessmen, and wealthy businessmen, it is nothing, and then, drinking this kind of wine is to gain status and status..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone laughed.Zhu Gui finally praised without hesitation, saying: "I never thought that my younger brother would have such a genius way of managing things! All right, all right, let's do it according to the method you said!"

"If that's the case, it's really faster than stealing money!" Zhu Fu also laughed, "Come on, come on, I respect you for making a living faster than stealing money!"

Zhao Si held the bowl respectfully, and finished the bowl of spirits in one go!
Everyone looked at each other, Zhu Gui said: "How do you eat this kind of strong wine? The amount is not shallow!"

Jiao Erpi on the side said: "Hey, this kid can't get drunk at all!"

Everyone praised him.

Next, the old steward accompanied Zhu Gui and the others to drink and chat.Jiao Erpi stayed at the foot of the mountain and followed a steward to prepare everything for wine making.Zhao Si followed a steward to the backyard and found Qi San. The steward conveyed Zhu Gui's instructions to Qi San, and Qi San expressed his full cooperation with Zhao Si.

Zhao Si then made a list for Qi San: [-] catties of high-quality charcoal, [-] catties of sulfur, [-] catties of fire nitrate, a three-stone hard bow, and some beef tendon bowstrings.A blacksmith is available at any time.

Qi San smiled and said: "Little brother, there are many of these things you listed on the mountain! There is a special ordnance camp on the mountain. Such arson items, bows and arrows, blacksmiths, etc. are all under the control of the ordnance camp. There is no need to buy them from outside. , you give me the list, and I will ask Brother Zhu Gui for a pledge. You can get it at any time after you go up the mountain!"

"So, brother, thank you brother!"

Qi San took the list and went upstairs to find Zhu Gui. After a while, he came back with the signed list, handed it to Zhao Si, and said: "Leader Zhu Gui told me to just improve the bows and arrows honestly, and don't cause any trouble!"

"Little brother obeys brother's orders!"

At this time, all the vegetables, meat, fruits and other things needed on the mountain have been loaded on the boat. Everyone bid farewell to Qisan, rowed the boat across the lake, and loaded the car up the mountain.

The old kitchen steward asked Zhao Sidao mysteriously in private: "Little monk, are you really so capable? As you said?"

"Absolutely! I don't dare to talk nonsense in front of all the brothers!"

"That's good! If you need anything in the future, tell the old brother!"

"Thank you, old brother, for your concern! My little brother is in trouble, so I must ask my brother for help!"

After going up the mountain, the old steward specially sent a trusted person to take him to the ordnance camp overnight according to Zhao Si's request.
