"Old Lin... you... what are you going to do... This kid is clearly bullying us because we don't understand life outside the mountains... If a traitor like him succeeds, then we really have no chance of living a good life.
——”
"Yes! Boss Fei! You also say something! We...we believe you so much...but...I don't know what you talked about. If you haven't seen that you were deceived by them, then we can only speak for you."
you…"
As he said this, young people actually gathered around him.
However, it was still Lao Lin. Now Lao Lin took a step forward and stood in front of these people:
"A bunch of bastards! Stop being so self-righteous! Go back and stay where you are!"
"Ah...this...Old Lin...why did you..."
This was probably a rare moment when Old Lin got angry. When he was angry, everyone finally gave in. With disbelief in their eyes, everyone slowly retreated to their original positions, leaving only Old Lin standing in front of Yi Xiaotian and others.
Yi Xiaotian was probably happy to see this situation, so he kept smiling.
Lao Lin slowly turned around, looked at Yi Xiaotian with a complicated look, and then answered his previous question:
"I don't believe you - but all this has to wait until you finish talking about your solution - I know you are trying to show off, but you just want to see the determination of these guys. I assure you, they are all
I think older children will persevere to the end as long as they have a chance, so..."
There was a hint of hoarseness in Lao Lin's voice. He slowly raised his head, took a deep breath, and said to Yi Xiaotian hopefully with an attitude of longing:
"Speak out, tell me your true method. Only in that way can we save these poor children."
"Oh... uncle, you have seen through it all."
Having said this, Yi Xiaotian was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and first apologized to the young people who were still in a very excited state.
"Anyway, I won't be too pretentious."
"I'm telling the truth. These two things, stone, may not even be used to build a house in the village, and wood can be used as firewood at most, but if it is processed in different ways and placed outside the mountains, these
Things can then display their original value——"
"Since you have lived in the mountains for a long time and have not yet understood the true uses of these things, I would like to ask you to listen carefully to what I am going to explain next."
"After all, this is related to whether you can take your descendants out of this barren mountain forest in the future."
Yi Xiaotian said with a smile, his words full of his own confidence.
——
Just as Yi Xiaotian said to Zhao Yun and Lu Lingqi when he first came to Yi County, he came here to find business opportunities.
Although Yi Xiaotian's journey was mostly about making money wherever he went, it wasn't until his wonderful encounter with Zhao Yun that they had to switch from the river road in the north to the tributaries of Po River.
Coincidentally, and because of this, he realized the business opportunity that he had almost ignored before.
Yi Xiaotian has always had an invisible principle that he has never really mentioned to others, and that is to make money - if he can make money from rich people, he will naturally not choose to make money from poor people.
Although this essentially treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, it does make the conscience feel much better than before.
What's more, Yi Xiaotian has also done a lot of things that are friendly to the poor, which makes it even more impeccable.
As we all know, rich people have a lot of money to spend and will always buy some weird-looking gadgets.
Even if that thing is not of much value, as long as the gimmick is enough, people will naturally pay for it.
Among them, there are countless things like the Four Treasures of the Study, both as gimmicks and in demand.
Hui Di - In addition to the famous existence of Hui merchants, the thing that can make them famous all over the world is naturally the Four Treasures of the Study.
Of course, there is an element of speculation by Huizhou merchants, but more importantly, the special geographical environment and special resources of this place allow it to produce four treasures of the study that are difficult to match in other areas.
Among them, the Hui inkstone is the most famous.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about Huizhou ink. After arriving in Huizhou, Yi Xiaotian has been considering the conditions for making ink in these places from beginning to end. After seeing the countless masson pine resources in Linli Mountain, there is no need to think too much.
As long as he has enough manpower and uses appropriate methods, over time, he will have absolute confidence to develop a series of huge ink-making industries here.
But the problem is that making ink is not something that can be accomplished overnight. The process of drying the ink alone takes at least a year and a half. After knowing the living conditions of these Shanyue people, Yi Xiaotian naturally does not expect to let them
Wait for a money-making method that will take a year to bear fruit.
You must let them taste the benefits first, otherwise, working for nothing will really dampen people's enthusiasm.
Therefore, Yi Xiaotian discovered the opportunity when he passed the ordinary stream on the road.
"I have prepared two parallel paths for you. In the next period of time, I will naturally guide you personally on how to go on these two paths and make enough money to settle down by relying on these two things."
"One is called ink making;"
"The second one is called inkstone making."
Not surprisingly, when Yi Xiaotian said this, except for Lao Lin and Fei Zhan and Peng Hu, the rest of the people in Shanyue basically looked at a loss.
Mo Yan, when they entered the mountains and forests, they were mostly a group of young kids, from poor families, so how could they have the opportunity to come into contact with the Four Treasures of the Study, something that only scholars were qualified to come into contact with?
But Yi Xiaotian saw the light in Lao Lin's eyes.
Lao Lin understands.
Then the problem is easily solved.
"I know you are all confused now, but it's not time for me to explain this, fairy."
"What you need to know now is that no matter which path is taken, as long as it is passed, let alone one or two years, you will be able to live a prosperous life for the rest of your life, and even your children and grandchildren, because of this kind of craftsmanship.
.”
"If this is the case, are you willing to believe me and give me a try?"
In fact, there is no need to ask for the answer. Just by the heavy breathing of those young people, you can know how excited they are now.
——
Finally, the resistance of these young people was eliminated.
Yi Xiaotian's explanation gradually got on the right track.
And...his explanation was not only useful to the people of Shanyue. Sun Feng'er, Zhao Yun, Lu Lingqi and others all listened very carefully to Yi Xiaotian's explanation of how to make ink and inkstones.
"I will write out all the specific craftsmanship after tonight and distribute them."
"And now there's something you need to know -"
Yi Xiaotian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to these hungry men and women slightly relaxedly:
"Making ink requires a lot of patience, and the process takes from half a year to a year - and the other process of making inkstones can be effective in a relatively short time, but this does not mean that you can give up
The first craft of making ink, on the contrary, while making money from making inkstones, the making of ink blocks cannot be left behind..."
"If you have many skills, you don't have to overwhelm yourself. If you don't want to suffer as hard as you do today in the future generations, then grit your teeth and persevere!"
