Chapter 114 The foundation of life

Early the next morning, Huang Xiaoshi went out with a gift box.

Huang Xiaoshi naturally thought carefully about how to deliver the elixir to Ganzhou.

The most critical core issue on this trade road now is the blockade by the imperial army.

Huang Xiaoshi's way of thinking is not that of a wild forest, so why not sneak in quietly with someone, or rush in directly to kill his mother?

These two options were not in Huang Xiaoshi's mind at all.

It is said that to untie a bell, one must tie the bell.

Since it is a commercial road blocked by the imperial army, it is better to go to the imperial court.

Huang Xiaoshi carried the gift box and went directly to the entrance of Luoyang Arsenal.

"Brother, please inform Mr. Yang, the master of Shennong Baicao Sect, Huang Xiaoshi, please see me." Huang Xiaoshi said politely to the gatekeepers.

After waiting for a long time, Huang Xiaoshi was finally invited in and met Yang Luo, the chief officer of the Luoyang Arsenal Department.

"Master Yang." After Huang Xiaoshi saluted Yang Luo, he quickly put the gift box in his hand on the table in front of him, and then said to Yang Luo: "Master Yang is busy with everything, so I will get straight to the point.

.

I, Shennong Baicaomen, are all loyal to the imperial court. Even though I am a common man, I still feel deeply responsible.

The head of the main sect, Gong Guangjie, has been named an official of the imperial court for his military merits. This incident demonstrates the determination of everyone in our sect to serve the country."

When Huang Xiaoshi announced his family name, Yang Luo also nodded and held his beard.

As the head of the Arsenal Department, he must be aware of the reputation of the Shennong Baicao Sect; Gong Guangjie's contribution to the elixir was originally an internal matter within the Arsenal Department, and Yang Luo knew the causes and consequences.

I just didn't know what kind of medicine Huang Xiaoshi was selling, so Yang Luo just nodded and didn't answer.

"Master Yang. I heard that the imperial army was fighting fiercely in the northwest and was invincible. I couldn't help but feel happy. I am willing to contribute my small efforts to the imperial court.

This is the sample, this is the list, please take a look at it, Mr. Yang."

As Huang Xiaoshi spoke, he opened the gift box. He took out a porcelain bottle from the gift box and introduced to Yang Luo: "This is [Shen Nong Zhi Shang Powder]. This medicine can stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, and promote muscle growth. When used, only

Just pour it on the wound.

This is [Qinglong Shuangyin]. After drinking this medicine, qi and blood can be regenerated..."

More than an hour later, Huang Xiaoshi came out of the Arsenal holding a small red flag. There was also an official letter in his arms. The content of the official letter was very simple. Shennong Baicaomen was delivering all kinds of urgently needed medicines to the imperial army. Please

Checkpoints along the way will provide clearance.

This is Huang Xiaoshi’s secret secret: use money to clear the official channels.

It's just that the quantity requested by Dragon King this time was much lower than Huang Xiaoshi's expectation, which was a bit unexpected for him. The hard cost was so high, and if he sold less, he would lose money.

does not matter.

This time going to the northwest, Huang Xiaoshi had to bring all the inventory together. If the excess goods arrived in Ganzhou and then sold them, the profit might not be less.

Last night, Huang Xiaoshi and Lao Zhang took inventory of the goods together. Through the rush of production during this period, plus all the inventory, there were six thousand pieces.

In order to facilitate management, the caravans sent out by Luoyang Shennong Baicaomen usually transport about a thousand pieces of goods at a time. This time, Huang Xiaoshi planned to play a big game. He wanted to take away all 6,000 pieces of goods.

When transporting such a large volume of goods, safety must be the first consideration.

The biggest security risk was the imperial army. Huang Xiaoshi naturally gave up a lot of money for this big customer.

As an official of the Arsenal Department, Yang Luo was definitely not someone who could be easily fooled, so the elixirs Huang Xiaoshi presented to the court were all high-value Shennong medicines.

Three thousand pieces is the entire inventory of Luoyang Shennong Baicaomen over the years.

Sure enough, after Huang Xiaoshi threw out the king bomb, the court's difficulty was solved instantly.

Any official in the imperial court, regardless of whether they are good or bad, or whether they are high or low in rank, will not reject anyone who comes with political achievements, and the more the merrier.

Huang Xiaoshi did not need to give Yang Luo any additional private benefits. The three thousand pieces of elixirs he donated that were urgently needed by the court were the greatest benefits to Yang Luo.

Can't Mr. Yang Luo be suspicious of such a big thing falling on the ground early this morning?

That's definitely not the case.

The Shennong Baicao Sect is a well-known sect, whether in Shuzhong or Luoyang. The leader of this sect would not dare to make fun of the imperial court even if he has a brain attack.

In fact, after Huang Xiaoshi talked in a roundabout way for a long time, Yang Luo immediately understood what Huang Xiaoshi wanted to say.

In terms of talent, Huang Xiaoshi can be said to be a young hero.

Since Gong Guangjie of the main sect in Shuzhong can donate medicine to the court and get military honors and official posts, why don't the branch sects in Luoyang know how to imitate cats and imitate tigers?

When I think about it, I understand everything.

So Yang Luo readily wrote a customs clearance letter to Huang Xiaoshi and stamped it with his own seal.

After Huang Xiaoshi left the arsenal door, Yang Luo sat at the table and meditated, and then wrote like a dragon, writing a eloquent report document in one go.

With a beam of joy, Mr. Yang Luo called the officer and asked him to go to the inn and deliver the report document to his immediate superior, Mr. Wu, as soon as possible.

After the servant took the paperwork and left, Yang Luo was still immersed in the joy in his heart. He walked back and forth in the room a few times and suddenly sang:

"This letter comes by chance, God helps Huang Zhonggong succeed..."



After settling the imperial court, the remaining problems were nothing more than military defeats and banditry.

With Huang Xiaoshi and Ji Wushuang on duty, Huang Xiaoshi didn't know any blind gangster who would dare to intercept the goods.

In terms of average combat power, the Luoyang Shennong Baicao Sect is indeed far behind Shuzhong, because there are no disciples here who bring their talents to defect.

But in terms of overall absolute combat power, Luoyang Shennong Baicaomen is much higher than Shuzhong Shennong Baicaomen.

Although Huang Xiaoshi can't beat one against a thousand, there is absolutely no problem in beating a hundred with one.

The group of Japanese pirates in Hangzhou Bay has basically reached the ceiling of the biggest bandits. If the number of Japanese pirates is higher, they will become local warlords.

After all, if you want to support hundreds of young and strong workers who are out of work, it is impossible without sufficient financial and material resources.

Just robbing is not enough.

In the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River, one is usually raised five to one, while in the north, one is raised seven to ten.

In a deserted land like the northwest, it may take fifteen or even twenty years to raise one.

If you really encounter a nomadic tribe with a population of more than a thousand and control of hundreds of people, the reputation of the Tianlong Sect will be very important.

Huang Xiaoshi asked Yaksha for a Tianlong Cult guide who was familiar with the northwest. One of the most important functions was that if the nomadic tribe came to rob goods, the guide could persuade them to leave.

Now that Yasha himself is here, it is of course better for Huang Xiaoshi.

Back at Shennong Baicaomen in Luoyang, Lao Zhang had already summoned all the big and small bosses, and everyone was waiting in the hall.

Huang Xiaoshi slowly walked into the hall with his hands behind his back in front of everyone's attention. He suddenly raised the triangular red flag in his hand high and shouted: "Brothers, it's done!"

When Huang Xiaoshi shouted this, the hall immediately filled with cheers.

If this shipment can go through, it will be enough for Shennong Baicaomen in Luoyang to have enough to eat.

Huang Xiaoshi sat on a high seat in the hall. He put the small flag in his hand on the table, then crossed his legs and drank tea.

Next, Lao Zhang started arranging manpower.

Six thousand pieces of goods were divided into twelve teams, each team was responsible for 500 pieces. Lao Zhang named twelve captains and twelve deputy teams, and then these captains and deputy captains organized their own manpower.

After Lao Zhang finished setting up, Huang Xiaoshi slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table and silenced the noisy crowd with just one mouthful.

"Bros."

Huang Xiaoshi shouted these words, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

"I won't say any more gossip. If you need to find someone, find someone. If you need to find a porter, find a porter. If you need to go home to see your mother-in-law, see your mother-in-law. If you need to see my mother, see your mother-in-law. After five days, we will order people, and on seven days, we will start loading.

Departure on the tenth day.

The meeting is dismissed."

"I want it."

"got it."

There was a lot of laughter and laughter.



Originally, in this era, Baicaomen was an unpopular martial arts sect.

The arrival of Huang Xiaoshi changed everything.

When Baicaomen became Shennong Baicaomen, it ran wildly on the road of expansion without looking back.

Compared with other sects, the biggest feature of Shennong Baicao Sect is that it is a production-oriented organization.

In a place like Jianghu Wulin where fists are all about strength, the combat effectiveness of this kind of production-oriented organization is definitely not as good as that of a force-oriented organization, so Baicaomen will always be just an inferior sect.

However, once Baicaomen broke through the production bottleneck and generated surplus value, everything changed.

Other martial arts sects, when they have surplus funds, simply buy houses and land, and then rely on opening shops to collect rents to earn stable income.

Shennong Baicaomen is different. After it has surplus capital, it will naturally invest the excess capital in reproduction. This is the nature and instinct of a production-oriented organization.

As a result, Shennong Baicaomen is like a snowball. The more profits it makes, the more capital it will invest in reproduction. This also causes Shennong Baicaomen to grow bigger, bigger and stronger.

The bigger and stronger it is, the stronger its ability to make profits, and its ability to expand is further enhanced.

After the branch structure of Luoyang Shennong Baicao was established, Huang Xiaoshi had been a hands-off shopkeeper for several years. However, the expansion of Luoyang Shennong Baicao did not slow down due to this.

Regarding this shipment, Huang Xiaoshi and Lao Zhang discussed it once. He wanted to play a big game, but he was worried about lack of manpower.

When Lao Zhang heard this, he said repeatedly to Huang Xiaoshi: "Master Shi, there is no one who doesn't have enough people!

As many as you want, you can have as much as you want!"

"Old Zhang, you should speak more calmly."

Since Lao Xu left, Lao Zhang has a feeling of being in great power, as if one person is inferior to ten thousand people.

Huang Xiaoshi was afraid that Lao Zhang would drift off and suffer the consequences.

Huang Xiaoshi said to Lao Zhang: "I estimated that we will need about six to seven hundred people to arrive. With so many people withdrawing, it will not affect our production and daily activities.

I’m afraid we don’t have that many manpower.”

"There are only six or seven hundred people." Lao Zhang couldn't help but smile after hearing Huang Xiaoshi's words. He said: "Master Shi, you may not know yet. Our Shennong Baicao Sect goes out to recruit people, not to mention recruiting people.

Even if you are looking for a porter, you only need to shout, and hundreds or even thousands of people will not be able to pick them."

As the new emperor ascended the throne, no one knew what was going on. In the past few years, it had become increasingly difficult to find a living, and life became increasingly difficult.

Shennong Baicaomen has shares, but its dividends are rising every year. How many pairs of eyes stared at the shareholders of Shennong Baicaomen, and their black eyes almost turned into red ones.

As long as you can enter the Shennong Baicao Gate, even if you are a porter or a handyman, it will be enough for you to have enough food and clothing.

Once you get in, if you work hard, you might be able to be recruited as a trainee in the future.

Once you become a trainee, no matter how easy it is to work hard, work hard, and work hard, maybe it will become a formal job.

As long as it becomes official, you can get one share for every year you work, ten shares for ten years, twenty shares for twenty years, and thirty shares for thirty years!

This is when you need to recruit people.

Oh my god, that's really a response.

What Lao Zhang is worried about is that there are too few people and people from all walks of life cannot take care of them.

Huang Xiaoshi has not been in the countryside for many years, and he is indeed a bit out of touch with the masses.

After hearing what Lao Zhang said, Huang Xiaoshi said quickly: "Lao Zhang, you have to say goodbye to those people.

We are walking northwest this time, so we are just kidding."

"What are you afraid of when you go northwest? Who is not trying to make money with their brains raised these days?" Lao Zhang said disapprovingly to Huang Xiaoshi: "The most annoying thing is that the money has not been earned even though the brain has been screwed. This is what scares the most.

If you can exchange your brains for money, those with more balls will want to do it!"

Shennong Baicaomen has a very high reputation in Luoyang.

After the Heifengzhai incident, everyone was scrambling to find a way out (work) for Shennong Baicaomen. It would be even better if they could sell their lives to it.

If something happens to one person, the whole family will benefit, your wife, children, and daughters will be taken care of, and the owner of the family will personally help you avenge your revenge.

Where can you find a second home now?

After hearing Lao Zhang's words, Huang Xiaoshi really felt that he had been separated from the masses for too long due to his obsession with contacting the upper class.

Why King Cheng and the Tianlong Sect are so fond of the Shennong Baicao Sect is because they are fully aware of the mobilization ability of the Shennong Baicao Sect.

Not to mention, Shennong Baicaomen only needs to take a few carts of copper coins to the countryside, first set up a big flag, and then scatter the copper coins all over the ground. This is not to rob the rural people of their lives!

Once people gather together, what they do next is no longer up to them.

Those who carry the banner of the imperial court are the officers and soldiers; those who carry the banner of King Cheng are the rebels; those who carry the banner of the Tianlong Sect are the followers.

After understanding this, Huang Xiaoshi also discovered the foundation of his life in troubled times.

It was actually not the Tianlong Sect, but the Shennong Baicao Sect.

Damn it, it's obviously a martial arts world, but why did I turn it into a Yellow Turban Uprising?



After Huang Xiaoshi's order was issued, the entire city of Luoyang burst into joy.

Everyone knows that Shennong Baicaomen is going to the northwest. Shennong Baicaomen, which has not hired anyone for more than half a year, is in urgent need of recruiting people.

Martial arts practitioners with some martial arts skills and a fairly good foundation came in with the secretary of the village elder and a sword. They all clapped their hearts like mountains. As long as the leader of the Huang clan said a word, he would be a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire.

If you don't say anything, just keep silent.

A large number of shy, outgoing, honest, and smart young people were taken by their elders to visit a certain relative in Shennong Baicao Gate, asking for help from the relative to say a few good words and accept the handsome youngster from their family.

As for the coolies who had no food or clothing, the door was even squeezed open.

In the face of the surging crowd, Shennong Baicaomen still insisted on not lowering its standards: those people were not allowed to lower themselves, and the money they should be given must not be less. Malicious low-price competition was never allowed.

This is a rare anecdote that happens once in a thousand years. There are actually owners who are afraid of being short of money.

"You know how to hammer." Huang Xiaoshi educated a few confused disciples: "The trip to the northwest will take two or three months. If you lower your efforts and money at this time, maybe some people will say now that you won't pay.

, doing all the cooking.

When they said this, they were afraid that no one would be able to recruit anyone who dared to ask for money.

However, if the money is too little, it just won’t work. People just don’t have the motivation to do things.

What should I do if I encounter some trouble halfway and a group of people don’t want to leave and want to go home?

At that time, no matter how much money you throw away, it will be useless.

Therefore, we must give enough money at the beginning to give everyone a sweet start.

At this time, whoever is halfway thinking about the sun does not need us to say anything at all, someone will take care of him."

After Huang Xiaoshi said this, everyone finally understood.

This is where Huang Xiaoshi understands human nature and beats workers best:

Only the binding of interests can form an unbreakable alliance.
