This side effect is awesome

"Grandpa, be careful, don't take too many pills, or it will affect the foundation of cultivation and damage your body." Seeing Song Ankang impatiently walking towards the practice room, Qiu Shi couldn't help reminding him.

Song Ankang waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know, don't worry."

With the Book of Rebellion, Song Ankang would not worry about the side effects. On the contrary, the more side effects he liked, the more he would be able to absorb more side effects and use them to improve his overall strength.

When he came to the practice room, Song Ankang first performed two punches to injure the viscera, then endured the pain and began to practice, and waited for the feedback of the side effects, so that he could usher in another wave of improvement.

Chapter 031 The way to make money

As I said before, when practicing the Seven Injuries Demon Sutra, you will feel a very comfortable feeling, which makes you want to stop.

However, this kind of feeling is easy for people to indulge in it, and eventually they will practice themselves to death, which will do great harm to the spirit and will.

But this feeling can effectively neutralize the pain caused by the Seven Injuries Demon Sutra. In addition, Song Ankang can absorb its side effects. Not only will he not be addicted to it, but it will improve his spirit and strengthen his will.

This is the perfect antidote!

In the past, Song Ankang didn't dare to use this antidote indiscriminately, because the excess energy in his body was limited, but now with the help of several bottles of pills, Song Ankang is much bolder, and can bear the pain caused by the Seven Injuries Demon Sutra. At this time, neutralize this pain through practice.

In this way, the practice and play of the Seven Injuries Demon Sutra can be effectively neutralized and promoted by the Fate-Defying Heavenly Manual, coupled with the side effects of the pills, Song Ankang's strength improvement speed is simply ferocious.

To describe it as a thousand miles a day is an insult to this speed, and only a thousand miles a day can barely explain its speed.

He practiced hard until midnight, and Song Ankang fell into a deep sleep after tempering his stomach and intestines.

In order to avoid affecting the foundation of cultivation, Song Ankang did not put himself into a coma through Shangfuquan before going to sleep, but prepared to practice Shangfuquan in a awake state.

Early the next morning, after dinner, Song Ankang drove to Tongxin Town in a carriage with dozens of taels of silver.

Among the Xia people, one tael of silver is worth a thousand copper plates, and the value of one copper plate is about the same as one dollar on Earth, but the purchasing power will be stronger.

One hundred taels of silver is worth one tael of gold. The exchange ratio between silver and gold is one hundred to one, and the exchange ratio between copper plates and silver is one thousand to one.

A few tens of taels of silver is tens of thousands of dollars, which is definitely not a small amount for ordinary people.

Around Jiang Yun and the guards, Qiu Shi's face was full of excitement, obviously very happy to be able to go out and let the wind go.

When I came to Tongxin Town, I was warmly welcomed by many townspeople as usual.

"Song Da Xiaozi is here. We have heard about what happened in the fabric store before. Thank you for helping us eradicate the ferocious female ghost and saving the lives of the entire town."

"Mr. Song is more handsome than last time, and his temperament is getting better. Come here and try my pancakes. They are freshly baked. They are absolutely delicious."

"A few days ago, I picked a nest of medicinal eggs, which are the most nourishing for Qi and blood. Song Daxiaozi, do you want some? I'll give you some."

"That female ghost is near our house. I met it the day before Song Daxiaozi eradicated the female ghost. If the mother-in-law hadn't discovered something was wrong in time, I would have been killed at that time. Thank you Song Daxiaozi. "

……

The residents of Tongxin Town, like the residents of many places in the Xia Kingdom, know how to respect the old and love the young, and know how to repay their kindness.

Song Ankang, as the number one filial son in Kyoto, was originally a model and benchmark in the minds of all residents, not to mention that he killed a female ghost hiding in Tongxin Town and saved many people's lives a few days ago.

This made the residents of Tongxin Town feel more fond of Song Ankang. Even if they are not rich and may still be hungry this year, they still generously took out some good things, hoping to give Song Ankang a taste.

Song Ankang declined with a smile, but he still couldn't hold back the enthusiastic residents, and soon there were a lot of snacks on the carriage, enough for him to eat for several days.

I felt a little warm in my heart. Although the human race here had a difficult life, they were really united and friendly to each other. There were very few people who were really vicious.

Whether it is in many villages near Kyoto or in other places, there are many places where the roads are not picked up and the doors are not closed at night, and there are not too many cases of human races fighting each other openly and secretly.

When Song Ankang and his party arrived at the destination, Huachun Hall, the carriage was already full of things.

"Young Master Song, you are worthy of being the number one filial son in Kyoto, yet you are so popular!"

A tall, square-faced, big-eyed woman stood at the entrance of Huachun Hall, looking at the piles of things on the carriage and said with a smile.

Song Ankang quickly got down from the carriage: "The shopkeeper is too much, and it's all the people in the town who love him."

"This is not flattery, it's respect and gratitude from the bottom of my heart." The square-faced, big-eyed woman smiled and said, "I've also heard about what happened a few days ago, if it wasn't for Mr. Song, the entire Tongxin Town would be in danger Now, a female ghost comparable to a martial artist in the realm of inner training, almost unstoppable in Tongxin Town."

Song Ankang said with a smile: "That should also be thanks to Teacher Jiang, who beheaded that female ghost."

"Teacher Jiang should of course be grateful, and Mr. Song should also be grateful." The square-faced and big-eyed woman said: "I am Pang Huachun, the big shopkeeper of Huachuntang, and I just came from Kyoto to buy some unique medicinal materials near Tongxin Town. Just caught up with this matter, it seems that I have a lot of fate with Mr. Song."

"I don't know if Mr. Song is here today, what's the matter? If there is a need, our Huachuntang will definitely help."

Hearing this square-faced and big-eyed woman said that she was Pang Huachun, the big shopkeeper of Huachuntang, Song Ankang was also surprised, because Huachuntang is not a small medicine store even in Kyoto, and its branches are spread all over the capital. It is said that there are dozens of them.

It was a coincidence that Pang Huachun, the big shopkeeper of Huachuntang and the founder of Huachuntang, happened to come to Tongxin Town for business.

When he came to the living room, Pang Huachun asked someone to prepare tea. Song Ankang said with a smile, "Actually, I came to Huachuntang today mainly because I wanted to cooperate with Huachuntang."

"Cooperate with Huachuntang?" Pang Huachun was stunned for a moment: "I remember that Huachuntang and Chaoyun Grange should have cooperated all the time. Many medicinal materials in Chaoyun Grange are sold to Huachuntang."

Song Ankang shook his head and said: "This is just a business relationship, not a cooperative relationship. The cooperation I mentioned is actually to provide Hua Chun Tang with some preliminary processed medicinal materials, so that Hua Chun Tang can directly use these processed medicinal materials To refine pills, there is no need to find a large number of apprentices to learn and process these medicinal materials."

"Mr. Song, do you mean that Chaoyun Tianzhuang took over most of the work of apprentices in Huachuntang's medicine hall, and then earned some fees from it?" Pang Huachun's eyes lit up.

Song Ankang nodded and said, "That's pretty much what it means, but Chaoyun Farm also buys medicinal materials, and then sells the processed medicinal materials to Huachuntang, earning a certain amount of profit from it."

"If it's just simple processing, it's not worth much, but if you want to process it to the point where it can be directly used to refine pills, it will take a lot of time and energy, and you need to train special apprentices, Mr. Song Are you sure you won't be able to make ends meet?" Pang Huachun looked at Song Ankang suspiciously.

Song Ankang said with a smile: "If we only process some simple medicinal materials at Chaoyun Farm, and process them to the extent that they can be directly used to make pills, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Moreover, our Chaoyun Farm will not train apprentices who are proficient in the processing of various medicinal materials like Hua Chuntang, but will only train some apprentices who are proficient in processing a certain type or a few types of medicinal materials. This is not difficult. , and the efficiency will go up soon.”

Chapter 032

The processing of medicinal materials that Song Ankang mentioned has the taste of a modern assembly line operation, but it is more complicated than that, but compared to the apprentices trained by Huachuntang, it is simple enough.

As for whether this will be leaked and let other people learn it, Song Ankang is not worried about this, because the deep processing of medicinal materials seems simple, but in fact it requires sufficient knowledge and skills.

It just so happens that the original owner has read a lot of books and mastered a lot of knowledge in this area, which is not so easy to copy.

And even if Song Ankang didn't say it, Chaoyun Grange is so big, after the deep processing of medicinal materials is on the right track, won't it be leaked out.

There is no need to hide things that will be known sooner or later, and it can also be used to win the trust of Pang Huachun and obtain an excellent way to make money.

Pang Huachun's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, this is very feasible, and it can help Hua Chuntang save a lot of costs. I didn't expect Mr. Song to have such a powerful ability in doing business."

"This year's drought, I was forced to find such a way to make money, otherwise Chaoyun Farm will not be able to survive." Song Ankang said with a wry smile.

Hua Chuntang started with refining medicine, and mainly sold various ninth-grade pills, but the number of ninth-grade pharmacists was limited, so naturally they would not spend a lot of time processing medicinal materials.

This requires Hua Chuntang to train a lot of apprentices in processing medicinal materials, and the cost is not low. If someone can directly provide Hua Chuntang with processed medicinal materials, and the purchase price is more reasonable, Hua Chuntang is naturally willing. In this way, there is no need to train so many expensive apprentices.

Song Ankang and Pang Huachun hit it off immediately. The two discussed the way of cooperation in the future, and signed the corresponding agreement to ensure that both parties in this agreement will benefit.

Pang Huachun didn't raise the purchase price because of Song Ankang's good reputation, and Song Ankang didn't lower the selling price because of Pang Huachun's flattery.

Seeing the heated discussion between the two, and the drawing up of relatively reasonable agreements, Jiang Yunhe, Qiu Shi, and the people in the Tongxin Town branch of Huachuntang were all stunned.

It's normal for Pang Huachun to be so shrewd as a merchant, but he didn't expect the handsome and bookish Mr. Song to be so smart and capable, it's unbelievable.

Moreover, Song Ankang is well aware of the prices of various medicinal materials, as well as the cost of training a pharmacy apprentice, the negotiated price is extremely reasonable, and even strived for the maximum profit for Chaoyun Grange, which made Pang Huachun a little convinced .

Talking from the morning to the evening, the agreement was finally drawn up. Song Ankang also bought a large number of tools for processing medicinal materials from Huachuntang, and Pang Huachun specially gave him a detailed explanation of the processing of medicinal materials. Return with a rewarding experience.

"Young Master Song, you are beyond my imagination today."

Before leaving, Pang Huachun looked at Song Ankang with a wry smile and said, "I have been in business for so many years, and I haven't been as passive as I am today for a long time."

"Please forgive me, shopkeeper Pang." Song Ankang smiled slightly: "It's just that I have no choice. , always be responsible for them.”

"It would be too stupid to disregard the interests of so many tenants who follow me because of my little face. Besides, in business, it is not a shameful thing. We will still be friends in private in the future. Isn't shopkeeper Pang the same? .”

Pang Huachun was surprised: "In business, business, this is a good thing, so I will make Mr. Song a friend. It seems that many people in the capital have underestimated Mr. Song. If Mr. Song holds the power of Tang's commercial firm in the future, maybe he can Let Tang's business develop better, and when the time comes, the husband and wife will follow, and the glory of Tang's business is just around the corner."

"Shopkeeper Pang, I'm overwhelmed. With the kung fu of my three-legged cat, I can only solve the problems in the farm. No more." Song Ankang said with a smile.

After bidding farewell to Pang Huachun, the group rushed towards the farm with a lot of harvest.

"Grandpa, I also think they underestimate you. I didn't expect you to have such great ability in business besides studying well."

As soon as he left Tongxin Town, Qiu Shi stared at Song Ankang with his bright eyes wide open, as if meeting him for the first time.

Jiang Yunhe, who was driving, also said with a smile: "When it comes to business, I also think that my uncle's words are really good. Since it is a business, it should be done in an orderly manner. The eldest lady also said similar things, but there is no uncle. A brilliant summary."

"Our Tang's firm is also mainly merchants. Since my uncle is so capable, I can help the young lady well when I go back in the future." Qiu Shi said with some admiration: "When the time comes when the two swords of the young lady and the young lady are combined, we will definitely be able to let us Tang. The firm got rid of the predicament and became the No. [-] firm in the capital."

Seeing that Qiu Shi's face was shining brightly, Song Ankang shook his head speechlessly. What kind of business ability is he?

If he was really allowed to run Tang's firm, it would be a miracle not to lose money. Song Ankang would not run Tang's firm with Tang Yelan.

And compared to running a business firm, cultivation is the most attractive road to heaven for Song Ankang, and it is also the most promising and brightest road in the Xuanhuang Continent, not one of them!

Song Ankang would not waste his time and energy on business. If he had that time, he might as well practice for a while.

This time, if Chaoyun Farm was not facing a huge dilemma, which even affected Song Ankang's future practice, Song Ankang would not have found such a solution after hard work. As for whether it will work, Song Ankang is not sure now.

However, if Song Ankang's plan can be effective, it will definitely bring a lot of money to Chaoyun Grange. By then, not only can the tax payment for this year be completed, but also the tenants of Chaoyun Grange will have a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

The most important thing is that Song Ankang can get the maximum profit from it, and then use these profits to buy various cultivation resources. With the help of these cultivation resources, Song Ankang's strength will surely soar.

This is what Song Ankang values ​​most. In this terrifying world full of dangers, only by improving his strength can he save his life and protect his relatives and friends around him.

The sound of the car was resonant, and the walking was non-stop. By the time we rushed back to Chaoyun Farm, it was already dark.

Chapter 033 The owner is too generous

Although it was getting late, almost no one in Chaoyun Grange went to sleep. Everyone was busy in the Qinggang stone clearing in the center of the farm, arranging the wild vegetables, weeds, and leaves harvested today.

"The weather is very dry, and there are not many wild vegetables and weeds. Our harvest today is a bit too little. Compared with some villages outside, our actions are a bit slow."

"It's a pity that there are too many demons and ghosts in the red leaf forest. If we can enter the red leaf forest, our harvest today can be doubled."

"Compared to life, the wild vegetables and leaves in the red leaf forest are nothing, so don't think too much about it, work harder tomorrow, run a little farther, and dig more weeds and wild vegetables."

"I heard that chicken loess can be eaten. Why don't we bring some chicken loess back tomorrow and try to eat it?"

……

Except for the children, the more than 1000 tenants basically looked sad. Even some children were affected by the people around them, and their little faces were full of bewilderment.

Such a severe drought is rare in decades, and many tenants only experience it once or twice in their lifetime.

The dirty wild vegetables, weeds and leaves on the ground make people lose their appetite just by looking at them, but they are the hope for the survival of more than 1000 tenants in Chaoyun Farm this year.

Even this kind of bad food is not easy to collect. Thinking about when the earth was a descendant of Yanhuang, ordinary people could live a good life, Song Ankang was also a little silent.

Although Song Ankang became a lot more selfish after dying once, and was also afraid of dying a lot, but the goodness still remained in his heart. Seeing his tenants so poor, Song Ankang also felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Song Ankang has brought back the hope of survival. As long as there are no accidents, all the tenants of Chaoyun Grange will not only be able to successfully complete this year's taxes, but will even be able to live an unprecedentedly good life.

"Steward Wang, Steward Hao, come with me!"

Song Ankang called Wang Yuliang and Hao Jiyong, who were busy, and walked towards the small courtyard where they lived.

The small courtyard is called Chaoyun Courtyard, which covers an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters. There are flower beds, rockeries and pools inside. It looks quite elegant. It is the best residence in Chaoyun Farm, and it belongs exclusively to the owner.

After getting off the carriage, Song Ankang helped Qiushi and Jiang Yunhe take the things off the carriage. After packing, Wang Yuliang and Hao Jiyong also washed the dust off their bodies and came to Chaoyun Courtyard.

Qiu Shi put a few cups of tea on the stone table, and retreated behind Song Ankang.

Song Ankang put the agreement signed with Hua Chuntang in front of Wang Yuliang and Hao Jiyong: "Look at it."

As the housekeeper of Chaoyun Farm, Wang Yuliang is literate, and his level of knowledge is not low. Although Hao Jiyong is an ordinary tenant, he is quite motivated and taught himself to read and write.

Looking at the agreement in front of them, the two were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at it carefully, but after reading it, although their faces were happy, they were also worried.

"What do you want to say?" Song Ankang said with a smile: "You can speak freely, after all, this matter has a lot to do with it. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely that we will fall into a more difficult situation for Chaoyun Grange."

Wang Yuliang frowned and said: "Although this may allow us to get out of the predicament of Chaoyun Farm, but...but it is not an easy task to process the medicinal materials to the point where the pharmacist can directly refine the pills. I’m afraid I’m going to be unable to make ends meet, and if I can’t make ends meet, I’m afraid the consequences will be worrisome.”

"That's what I mean too." Hao Jiyong nodded: "The several kinds of medicinal materials selected by the owner for further processing are relatively simple, but they are still a bit complicated for ordinary people, and no one in our farm has done it. This kind of thing may be difficult to succeed at the beginning.”

Song Ankang said with a smile: "Don't worry about it. If I'm not sure, I won't sign this agreement. The deep processing of these medicinal materials is not difficult for me, and I can even reach the maturity level soon. degree, to teach others."

"We can first select some ingenious and intelligent people to learn from me, and when they can successfully become teachers, we will spread it to more tenants. There are more than 1000 people in Chaoyun Farm, can't we find ten? Is there a clever and dexterous person?"

"Since the owner has thought about it, we can try it." Hao Jiyong said immediately.

Wang Yuliang was worried, but seeing the signed agreement, he nodded and said, "Then...then let's try."

Song Ankang said: "In the past two days, I will first master the methods and techniques of deep processing of these several kinds of medicinal materials. You choose ten ingenious people from the whole farm to learn from me, and tell them by the way that they do not need compensation if they fail, but If they succeed, they can share [-]% of the processing fee."

"Ah..." Wang Yuliang was surprised: "So much, I think half of it is too much. If you fail, you don't need to be responsible. Who doesn't want to do things like processing fees for nothing, and there is not much farm work in the farm recently. This is extra income. Just give them whatever you want, even if you don’t give them, you don’t dare to say anything, after all, they are the tenants of Chaoyun Farm.”

Hao Jiyong also showed a look of astonishment: "Butler Wang is right, this share is too much. We are all tenants of the farm, so we have an obligation to help the farm do some extra things."

"If you pay, you will gain, not to mention that I have already got [-]% of it." Song Ankang said with a smile: "And only in this way can everyone's enthusiasm be aroused, so that more people can devote themselves to the processing of medicinal materials. earn more."
