Chapter 7 [Cai Shikou comes up with a knife]
Seeing that he was working hard, Li Yun had no choice but to speak out and induce him in a straightforward manner: "Everything in the world is accomplished by people. As long as there are people around him, it will not be too difficult to do anything. What are refugees? Refugees are people who can gather together... If you think carefully, will it be difficult to make money if we gather these refugees?"
"Yes!" Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up and he grinned, "With someone, are you still worried about not being able to make money?"
Li Yun nodded comfortably and asked again: "Then I will test you. What kind of industry do you think is the most profitable in this world?"
“What industry is the most profitable?”
Cheng Chumo murmured and repeated, obviously falling into deep thought.
Li Yun gave him space to think at the right time, intending to make him a brain-willed person.
Facts have proved that Cheng Chumo is not suitable to use his brain.
After thinking for a long time, this guy suddenly laughed and slapped his forehead, shouting: "I thought of it!"
Li Yun was a little surprised and hurriedly said, "You thought of it? It's so fast? Tell me quickly, what is the most profitable business in the world?"
Cheng Chumo said proudly, "The most profitable business in the world is to grab..."
"Rob?"
Li Yun was stunned!
"Yes, grab it!"
Cheng Chumo was very excited and opened his mouth to compliment Li Yun, saying, "The master is indeed a capable person. He suddenly thought of the best way. If the refugees have no money, then go and grab them. We can organize these people to occupy the mountain and become king, and then do the unsubsidized business that blocks the road and collects money. Hehehe, tens of thousands of refugees gather together. This is not a small force..."
The guy became more and more excited as he spoke. He was already dancing, and he said excitedly again: "I have long wanted to taste the taste of the mountain king, but I didn't expect that I would finally have the chance to achieve it. Haha, Master, let's organize all the tens of thousands of refugees, and then find a mountain to build a mountain village. You are the military advisor, and I am the leader of the big village. Our minions can be sent to the foot of the mountain to block the road. As long as someone passes by, the disciple will take action in person!"
Li Yun's eyes were a little straight, and after a long time, he asked blankly: "Why are you doing it yourself?"
Cheng Chumo smiled and grinned, "I put the axe up to the ground, first I laughed wildly, then suddenly shouted loudly, with wide eyes wide open, like a ghost, shouting, "Oh, I am the one who opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to pass by, and leave to buy wealth.' Hehe, the person who kept the passers-by was so scared that he pissed off and gave us a portion of the money. From then on, our disciples ate meat in big stutters and distributed gold with big scales. This day is refreshing and beautiful..."
Li Yun took a deep breath, still feeling a little dizzy on his forehead.
But Cheng Chumo was still in his fantasy and didn't know it. He happily said: "In the past, my father and the others were also born in Xiangma. He snatched the mountains and forests and robbed the Dao as bandits. Later, the heroes gathered in Yi Wagang Village and established a great reputation in those areas of Henan and Shandong. Disciple, I am the descendant of Duke Lu's Mansion, and I cannot weaken my father's reputation no matter how much he said. He has been the old devil king in the world, so I will be the little devil king in the world..."
Li Yun sighed helplessly, and suddenly spoke quietly from the side, deliberately saying: "Then let's recruit soldiers and launch a tide of uprising, sweep the world, the horse stepped on the Yellow River, the sword pointed at Chang'an, you will lead the iron hoof of the army and the elders to fight with your father and the elders. I am responsible for making suggestions from behind to disrupt the world, mobilize tens of thousands of troops to besiege Chang'an, we overthrow the Tang court, and the master and apprentice will become emperors together, right?"
Cheng Chumo held back his "ga" sound, and his excited face was very hard.
This guy is honest and he didn't hear Li Yun's mocking words just now. The reason why he held it was because he thought of something else. He only saw this guy frowning and said with a frown: "It's definitely not OK to fight with my father and others. Master, you don't know, my father and others are too fierce. Generals can fight and kill, military advisors can plan, and there are old guys who can fight and kill, and they can plan, such as Uncle Li Jing and Uncle Li Ji... No, we can't beat them. Even if we summon tens of thousands of refugees in hand, we will still give them food..."
"yes!"
Li Yun sighed and said deliberately again: "If we really want to get to that point, we masters and apprentices will definitely not have a chance to become emperors. It is very likely that we will be pulled to Caishikou and beheaded. The masters and apprentices will go to the underworld together, which can be considered as a story on earth."
Cheng Chumo shivered and said embarrassedly: "I am Your Majesty's son-in-law, so I will definitely not beheaded."
Li Yun snorted and said, "You have to occupy the mountain and become king. Why can't Your Majesty chop your head?"
Cheng Chumo also thought about it at this time. His idea just now was purely unreliable. This guy laughed embarrassedly again and grabbed his forehead and said, "Since you can't occupy the mountain and become king, you can't rob the road, you really don't know what else can make money in the world. Otherwise, you'll have an idea for your master."
"I have had an idea for a long time, but I lack appeal!"
Li Yun looked at him in anger, then he sorted out his mind and explained, and said leisurely: "Seven things to do: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. From ancient times to the present, people regard food as the most important thing. What business in this world is the most profitable? The business involving food, clothing, housing and transportation is the most profitable..."
He stopped here and looked at Cheng Chumo and said, "There are tens of thousands of refugees in Chang'an City. We definitely couldn't use so many people at the beginning, but we can organize one or two thousand people first, take them to produce, be peddlers, go around the streets, and do some small business and make some money."
"Production?"
Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment and said with a confused face: "What kind of childbirth? Could it be that those refugees were allowed to get married and have children, and then sell them with them? This is not OK. Giving babies at least ten months at a time will take them, and it will take too long, the master."
Li Yun glared at him, and at the same time he realized that he had a slight mistake in his speech. The ancients should not understand the word "production". In ancient times, it was said that childbirth was generally associated with women giving birth.
But he was unwilling to give Cheng Chu a mistake, and simply explained: "The production I mean the production of industrial labor. The teacher has already thought about it. We will organize one or two thousand refugees first, and then find several large merchants to borrow money, buy ropes and silk threads, and teach the refugees to weave fishing nets..."
"Weaving fishing nets?"
Cheng Chumo was stunned again and said in surprise: "What are weaving fishing nets?"
Li Yun reached out and pointed to the outside of the city, and said leisurely: "It is said that eight waters surround Chang'an, which means that there are rivers around Chang'an. Isn't it a good deal that can be bought and sold without cost?"
"This, this..."
Cheng Chumo was silent for a long time, and suddenly his big head was like a rattle, saying, "Master, although you have the ability, this business is not feasible. It is true that there is a river in Chang'an, and it is true that there are fish in the river. However, people in Chang'an do not like to eat fish, especially carp, and the court specifically ordered that it is not allowed to eat it."
He stopped here, grabbed his forehead and said, "And the fish is very fishy and tastes very greasy."
Li Yun smiled and said, "The fish meat is fishy because I can't do it. Besides, I don't want to sell it to a wealthy family like you. I want to target the fishing industry at ordinary people around Chang'an. There is a way you may not know. If you pickle salted fish and fry it in a pot, the fragrance will float three miles away. It is not something you like, who are rich and well-fed."
"Fried salted fish in the pan?" Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment and said curiously: "Sell it after it is cooked?"
"Yes! I will sell it after it is made, and it will be very easy to sell!"
Li Yunzheng pointed his head, suddenly smiled mysteriously, looked at the direction of the imperial palace in Chang'an City, and murmured: "Maybe not long before even Your Majesty will come to us to buy salted fish..."
Cheng Chumo obviously doesn't believe it!
