Chapter 81: It’s time to canonize you!
"This is because there are a few days every month when my magic power is lost...so I fall into this mortal's trap." Huang Silang hesitated for a moment before explaining.
"Is that true?" Su Che asked with narrowed eyes.
If he didn't have this kind of knowledge, he might have really been fooled by Huang Silang. But it was hard to understand why a great and virtuous teacher like him could be fooled by such a low-level lie.
Huang Silang blushed when he heard Su Che ask this and his lie was exposed. After a while, he lowered his head and said, "It's not true. These are lies. I just wanted to follow you, so I resorted to this bad idea."
"Follow me?" Su Che was stunned and asked curiously, "Why do you want to follow me?"
"I have heard of your deeds. When you travel in the countryside, you never look down on the farmers' crudeness. You personally treat them and teach them your medical skills. Such moral character and noble character are like the bright moon and stars, which are out of reach. I am willing to follow you and serve you like a dog and a horse. I hope you will agree." Huang Silang raised his head again and said seriously.
"I understand." Su Che nodded and said, "If you are willing, then stay by my side and help me with some trivial things."
"Thank you, sir!" Huang Silang said excitedly.
The monsters will follow the great sages and have the merit of "following the dragon", which will be of great benefit to themselves.
So this kind of thing happens from time to time, which is normal.
Su Che didn't care. He already had a stone monkey by his side, so having another weasel wouldn't matter.
If Huang Silang had any ill will towards Su Che, he would most likely have been beaten to death by Monkey Brother before he showed up.
Being able to appear in front of Su Che alive, it seems that what he said this time was true.
The next day, when the guards were surprised to find that there was a yellow-clothed servant boy beside the young master, they were all a little shocked and started asking about it.
Su Che did not directly reveal Huang Silang's identity, but casually explained that he was from a nearby village, had no parents, and was wandering around. He was taken in by Su Che and treated as a book boy.
Although the guards felt that this matter was very strange, they did not say anything more. After all, it was Su Che's decision.
After a long and tiring journey, Su Che finally arrived in Nanyang County after a few days.
Su Che first returned home and reported to his father that he was safe. Then he went to the headquarters of Chengjin Chamber of Commerce to learn about the progress of the Chengjin Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, he took out the "Barefoot Doctor Manual" that he had already written, and at least made a million copies of it!
In the beginning, Chengjin Chamber of Commerce spent its main expenses on opening a medical school and researching things like allicin, penicillin, and bleaching powder.
But Su Che found that spending money like this was too slow. Chengjin Money House had so much money, it would not be okay to spend only this little!
Afterwards, he started to set up a rescue station and also did scientific research at all costs. After all, it was the money of a wealthy family, so he didn't feel sorry to spend it!
For example, hundreds of experienced farmers were invited to study hybrid rice and hybrid wheat.
The most important thing in ancient agricultural production is to preserve seeds, which is an experience passed down from ancient times.
As early as when humans entered the cave-dwelling era, they had begun to consciously save seeds of crops so that they could have a cycle of production. In the process of saving seeds from generation to generation, the ancients summed up a lot of experience, but this had never been formed into a systematic written language, and all the experience was passed down orally.
This phenomenon changed . During the Qin and Han dynasties, iron farm tools and ox-drawn plows had become the mainstream, and agricultural output had greatly increased. While people were farming more conveniently, they also thought about how to summarize the seed-saving experience of their predecessors. This led to the seed-saving method in the first agricultural book of the Han Dynasty, Fan Sheng Zhi Shu:
"Take the wheat seeds and wait until they are ripe. Select the ones with large and strong ears and cut them. Tie them up in a high and dry place in the field and expose them to the sun until they are extremely dry. Do not allow any white fish to remain. If there are any, immediately fry them and cook them."
The general meaning is to keep the strong and healthy ears of wheat as seeds for next year, and to filter out the bad ones.
But this alone was not enough, so Su Che passed on the hybridization technology he knew to hundreds of veteran farmers, who have studied hybrid rice and hybrid wheat, and have achieved preliminary results.
In addition, Su Che spent money at all costs and hired countless skilled craftsmen from all over the country to build large ships that could sail long distances in preparation for international trade. If he could get corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and the like, even if they were primitive seeds, and cultivate them from generation to generation, it would be a blessing for the benefit of all people.
Just based on these things that he did easily, it would not be an exaggeration to call Su Che the Saint of Agriculture.
He also wrote the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual", and he can also be called a medical saint!
Even though he had obtained the dual saint titles, Su Che was still not satisfied and he wanted to continue with his plan!
After learning about the progress of the Chamber of Commerce’s scientific research department, Su Che set off again, but headed for his master’s clinic.
"Are you here to buy medicine or to consult a doctor..." the apprentice in the clinic asked subconsciously. When he saw that it was Su Che, he quickly said, "Hello, Senior Brother Zhang, you are back?"
As early as when Su Che became Zhang Bozu's direct disciple, even though he entered the sect very late, his status was very honorable and he directly became the senior brother of this group of apprentices.
"It's me. I remember your name is Zhang Lin? Where is your master?" Su Che asked.
"The master is out seeing a doctor." Apprentice Zhang Lin said quickly, "But my senior sister is in the attic in the backyard, where you lived before. Do you want me to go and call her?"
"No need, I'll go there myself." Su Che shook his head and went straight to the backyard.
A few months passed, which was neither long nor short. When Su Che came to the attic again, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He went up to the attic and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
A familiar voice came from inside.
Su Che smiled and said, "It's me."
Soon the door was opened, and it was Zhang Ying.
After not seeing her for a long time, Zhang Ying seemed to have grown up a little and become more beautiful.
She frowned, and stared at Su Che with her clear, bright eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a hint of moisture in her eyes, as if she was about to cry at any time.
"You're finally back." Zhang Ying said softly.
"From now on, I probably won't leave again." Su Che smiled.
"That's great!" Zhang Ying burst into laughter instantly and was so happy that she almost jumped up. She immediately grabbed Su Che's hand and pulled him directly into the room.
…
The next day.
Su Che went to Chengjin Money House and met Ji Renyong. In the past few months, after receiving another deposit from the governor Liu Yan, the reputation of Chengjin Money House increased greatly and it developed very rapidly.
At present, there are hundreds of money houses opened all over Jingzhou, and the business in Jingzhou has been developed to the extreme, forcing countless peers to death. At the same time, they are secretly accumulating strength and are ready to open Chengjin Money House in other provinces and counties of the Han Dynasty at any time!
With the rapid development during this period, although people continued to deposit money and every time the deposit limit was opened, many people would immediately deposit money, but Ji Renyong, as the chief shopkeeper, became more and more worried.
The increasing amount of deposit means the increasing interest and the increasing losses.
Originally, the Chengjin Chamber of Commerce had a hole of 1 billion yuan, and Ji Renyong was expecting that with this wave of development, the hole would become smaller, but he did not expect that the hole would become bigger and bigger, with no sign of decreasing at all.
Neither Chengjin Chamber of Commerce nor Chengjin Money House could make money from the huge amount of deposits. On the contrary, they were constantly spending money.
Under Su Che's arrangement, Chengjin Chamber of Commerce has done a lot of things in the past few years, including opening a medical school, helping the people, researching new drugs, cultivating seeds, casting large ships, etc. Each of these things costs countless money, and only Chengjin Bank can support this expense.
With the continuous investment, basically all the results have been achieved, but Su Che has no intention of using these to make a fortune, which makes Ji Renyong helpless.
When the bubble of Chengjin Bank bursts, the entire Han Dynasty will usher in an unprecedented financial storm! This is definitely more stimulating than rebellion! !
When Ji Renyong thought about what might happen , his body couldn't help but tremble. He was very afraid of that moment coming!
But as the chief shopkeeper, he knew that he must not be afraid, otherwise Chengjin Money House would collapse prematurely!
When Ji Renyong expressed his concerns, Su Che didn't care at all. He said calmly: "Don't worry about it. As long as we continue to expand and eventually expand nationwide, everything will be fine."
Ji Renyong: “…”
Isn't this just drinking poison to quench thirst?
In order to prevent the bubble from bursting, should we continue to inflate it? But the problem is, won’t it end up being a failure?
Su Che smiled and said , "Zhuangzi once said, 'Those who steal a hook will be executed, and those who steal a country will be princes.' As long as we expand Chengjin Bank to the whole country, then Chengjin Bank will no longer be our bank, but the bank of all the noble families in the Han Empire. Who dares to watch us die?"
Ji Renyong couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this. After a while, he slowly said, "I understand. I think I understand your idea."
"But the problem is that we have been embezzling funds for other things these days. After we made progress, we should have made a fortune. However, under your instructions, there is not much profit returned. This has caused a lot of doubts. How should we deal with it?"
"This is a very serious problem."
In a word, the money in the money house is all depositors' money. We need to make them confident in the prospects of Chengjin Chamber of Commerce and know that Chengjin Chamber of Commerce has been making money, so that they will feel at ease to continue to keep their money in the money house.
Otherwise, once people question the prospects of Chengjin Chamber of Commerce, worry about its future, and lose confidence, they will withdraw their money, and even a bank run may occur.
In that case, Chengjin Money House would collapse prematurely, which is no small matter.
After hearing this, Su Che shook his head and said, "This is very simple. I thought you understood it."
Although Ji Renyong is capable and a qualified worker, he obviously lacks imagination.
He also understands the principle that all businessmen are dishonest and all businessmen are dishonest, but he simply cannot comprehend it.
"Please teach me, young master." Ji Renyong lowered his head in shame.
