Life Winner Training Guide

Liu Mengzhi's thatched house is in the northwest corner of the village, and the location is not bad. The nearby families are not bad. Although the relationship between the neighbors is indifferent, there are not many quarrels.

This village does not have a noble origin or name, so it is called Liujiacun, because except for the daughter-in-law who married in, everyone in the village has the surname Liu, and they are more or less related. To be honest, Liujiacun is even more It's like a big family living together.The main reason is that it has not been too long since the initial determination of the world, and many villages are like this.

Although he is a bit of a prodigal, Liu Mengzhi is also a scholar at any rate. Liu Tong, who is also the head of the village and patriarch, takes good care of Liu Mengzhi. There are often reminders.

Today's Dayin Dynasty is initially determined. This Liu Tong is an old man who has experienced wars. He does not have certain skills to protect the peace of one side. Maybe his decision may not be the most correct, but every choice he makes is definitely important. It has its own experience and intentions in it.It's a pity that neither the previous Liu Mengzhi nor the later Liu Mengzhi listened to it.

After You Hongyin finished eating the porridge, washed the pot and bowls and chopsticks, he moved the only stool under a tree outside the door, and sat on the stool with his back against the tree trunk, eyes closed and rested.

The weather is a little colder now, but there are no mosquitoes, and the environment for thinking is clean and comfortable.

You Hongyin didn't think much about the word money. The status of merchants in ancient times was low. If they really went into business purely, they would actually give up their rights. So for the present plan, the only way to do it is to gain power first and then make money.

This is not a chaotic time, the current emperor of the Dayin Dynasty is the founding king of the dynasty, and he is the top handsome talent. Under his sweep, the whole country has almost been completely pacified, and even the foreigners are afraid to stop. , so it can be said that the war is over, and it is difficult to do anything in the army.

Let’s talk about the road to study in the imperial examination. It seems that this is the only way to choose, but let’s not talk about those who pass the exam or not, even if they pass the exam. The cake with limited capacity, as a scholar with no background, probably has to be mentally prepared to grind for more than ten years and may not be able to achieve anything.

You Hongyin doesn't like the grind of water. It has never been his style to be timid and restrained.

After thinking about it for a while, he made up his own plan, but the first thing to do now is to deal with Liu Mengzhi's resentment.

Liu Mengzhi the second generation was hacked to death by random knives. It is said that bandits plundered goods, but the criminal laws of the Dayin Dynasty were strict, how could so many people who were not afraid of death fall into bandits, not to mention that this is not the north where the people are tough. There are few mountains and forests in Nanxiang, and there are naturally few bandits. People here may have never seen a person in the green forest in their entire life. Petty theft is already a great thief in their eyes.

So Liu Mengzhi didn't believe the bandit he encountered, he thought it must be bought/killed/killed/by the enemy.

Therefore, Liu Mengzhi's grievances persisted and he could not enter reincarnation. He could only be a spectator watching others live again.

Of course, his resentment is not only related to death, but also conflicts with everyone in Liujia Village, Miss Qiu's refusal to marry in the next county town, cheating by businessman Li Dabao, etc. Yes, he is such a person with a lot of resentment people.He used to be a company employee, and when he didn't have much hope, he would eat and wait for death to be peaceful, but after time-traveling, he felt that his destiny was added to his body, but he repeatedly encountered obstacles in his work, and the things that didn't go his way became thorns in his heart and turned into resentment. source.

Phew, You Hongyin sighed, although the task object is not difficult, but the workload is unexpectedly a bit heavy. .

Things can't be done overnight, You Hongyin saw that it was still early, so he went back to the house and moved the table out, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bookcase, thought for a while, and started to write.

"Do you know how to use a brush?" Liu Mengzhi couldn't help asking.He couldn't write with a brush, which is why he later 'invented' the quill and charcoal.Although there are many people in modern times who can use brushes, Liu Mengzhi has not come into contact with many people, so he also judges others based on himself, thinking that the chance of meeting someone who can write with a brush is very low.

"Don't you know that I was originally in the antique business?" You Hongyin said, "My handwriting is average, but as an antique dealer, if I can't even write with a brush, I will be a failure. Writing big characters is my fault." Just a daily habit."

Liu Mengzhi was a little annoyed, didn't it mean that the fate of those who are related to fate is similar, why is it also from modern times, he is just an ordinary company employee, and this person is an antique dealer.The starting point is different, You Hongyin has a lot of advantages over him, how can this show that he is more powerful than himself.

You Hongyin guessed what this person was slandering again, but he didn't care: "The letter I'm writing now is to Mr. Chu, the original owner's enlightenment teacher. Isn't there a salesman in the village who will come recently? Give me some rice noodles and let them send the letter to you." Take it with you."

"Teacher Enlightenment? What are you writing to him for? Do you want to take the imperial examination? This is a bit whimsical." Liu Mengzhi said with a trace of sarcasm, "Do you know the Four Books and Five Classics, and can you write poems and essays? So, stop dreaming. "

You Hongyin smiled slightly: "Of course not to take the imperial examination, I'm not that good. As for what to do, you will know when the time comes."

Liu Mengzhi was very unhappy to see him cheating, and in a fit of anger, he stopped talking and disappeared.

After writing the letter, You Hongyin sealed it. There was not much substantive content in the letter, it was just a greeting and a question about policy theory.

As for whether this step can restore contacts with other scholars, You Hongyin doesn't know, these can only be regarded as the next step of his preparation.

In addition, the most important thing now is to improve one's own economic conditions. Of course, when doing things, one cannot be as simple-minded as Liu Mengzhi.

The original Liu Mengzhi was a nerd, not familiar with common affairs, but the later one was not very smart, relying on the fact that he came from a later life, his personality changed drastically when he just woke up, he seemed to be proficient in everything, and he changed from a The nerd who died of reading has become a shrewd person who knows everything about the past and the present.

If he acts like this, even if he has the original memory of Liu Mengzhi, the loophole is too big, and there is no way to get it back.Of course, it is also possible that this later generation Liu Mengzhi did not have such a consciousness at all, and did not know how things like heresy, ghosts, and monsters were treated in the age of superstition.It can only be said that Liu Tong, as the village head, is really a tolerant person, and he didn't care about Liu Mengzhi because of these things.

The first pot of gold Liu Mengzhi earned was selling recipes. His former company was a glass factory specializing in the production of special glass. Although Liu Mengzhi was just a salesman, he also knew some manufacturing techniques. At least he could rely on ancient production techniques Burns out normal colored clear glass.

Of course he wanted to be like those novels on the Internet, relying on this formula to become a wealthy man, but he didn't have the capital.So he decided to sell the formula for burning paper ordinary glass to the local big businessman Li Dabao first. After he has capital, he can burn special glass. In this way, even if the formula for ordinary glass is mastered by others, it will not affect his subsequent fortune. plan.

The idea is very beautiful, but the plan is not as perfect as imagined.

Liu Mengzhi is relatively simple-minded, and didn't think too much during the negotiation process. In order to prove that the prescription is true, he agreed to burn the finished product.However, no business is not evil, Li Dabao can become a big businessman because he is treacherous enough.Not only is he treacherous, but he also has treacherous capital - Li Dabao's daughter is the favored concubine of Jiangzhou General Secretary.Seeing this formula, which is comparable to gold and silver mountains, Li Dabao reneged on his debt in a blink of an eye. The originally agreed 3000 taels of silver became 100 taels.If Li Dabao hadn't been cowardly and inhumane, maybe he would have done something else in order to keep it secret.

Originally, it was a mistake to randomly choose Li Dabao without looking at the reviews, and without careful selection. It is inevitable to suffer losses if you trade with others without taking any protective measures.Liu Mengzhi also seemed to realize that he couldn't go head-to-head, and angrily took 100 taels and left.

The 100 taels is Liu Mengzhi's business capital.

Later, he took the money to recruit craftsmen himself, bought equipment, and made colored glass instead of ordinary white glass.Because of his fixed thinking, Liu Mengzhi fired common glass plates, which are generally used for decoration such as windows.Originally he thought he could make a lot of money, but he discovered that Li Dabao's rich glass products also include glass plates.

Although the sudden increase in glass products has impacted the market, the influence of thousands of years is still there. The prices of the two kinds of glass plates are somewhat high, and ordinary people cannot afford them.And those rich and educated people prefer paper windows, and the uneducated rich people do like this kind of glass plate, which can be used as a tool to show off their wealth, but they have a better relationship with Li Dabao. More glass.

Liu Mengzhi, who couldn't sell the goods, had to lower the price. This method sold some goods, which gave Liu Mengzhi a chance to breathe.

But then Li Dabao took a fancy to Liu Mengzhi's special glass firing formula, and knew that it would be impossible for him to buy it again, so he asked his daughter to blow some pillow wind in the cheap son-in-law's ear, and put this He told Jiangzhou General Director about the matter and wanted to use his rights.

And the Jiangzhou General Director is not stupid, he didn't do anything to rob. After all, Liu Mengzhi has the status of a scholar. He just sent a few posts to his colleagues, saying that he got a prescription and wanted to dedicate it to the queen. To hold a birthday is considered a joint name. If you say this, you don't need to do it yourself. The officials will come to find Liu Mengzhi and take Fangzi away.

Liu Mengzhi didn't want to be charged with disrespect to the royal family, so he could only hand over the prescription.

When he was deceived by Li Dabao, he once asked the clansmen in the village for help, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention to what he did and didn't leave any evidence, so the clansmen in the village naturally couldn't stand out.Later, when the officials came to the door, it was even more impossible for the clansmen to confront the officials head-on. Therefore, no one extended a helping hand in this matter.

As a result, Liu Mengzhi had a complete falling out with his clansmen.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and continued to do the stained glass business. Anyway, there is no doubt that he will use this recipe again. He is eager to make money, and earn more capital so that he can do other things.As a modern man, he has other ideas for his comeback.

Once, the Qiu family in the county ordered a batch of glass, and he personally delivered it to the door. As a result, he was surprised to see Miss Qiu's family accidentally. , he longs to have a wife to accompany him day and night, and looks forward to a peaceful and happy family life. He is also determined that when he gets rich, he will not be like a stud man at the beginning.

Before long, he had a matchmaker come to propose marriage.

Although the Qiu family was not very rich, but the old man of the Qiu family used to be a fourth-rank official. Naturally, he looked down on Liu Mengzhi, a person like Liu Mengzhi who degenerates into business after halfway through his studies, and firmly refused.

Liu Mengzhi, who was not going well with everything, was already full of grievances at that time. The most important thing was that before he could do anything to vent his grievances, or fail to fully understand his problems, he was on a faraway delivery trip. He was hacked to death by bandits, and then it became the current situation.

"A rookie businessman with no experience." You Hongyin commented on Liu Mengzhi's experience: "This is what happens to a three-year-old child holding a gold brick."

You Hongyin woke up early the next morning and went to the home of village chief Liu Tong.

Now that Liu Tong is old and doesn't do much work, he usually deals with the big and small things in the village. When he is not busy, he likes to smoke dry cigarettes on the reclining chair in his yard.

"Hey, it's Wang Ke, but what's the matter, you haven't been here much before." Liu Tong couldn't help but wonder, this nerd usually doesn't go out, but studies at home.Many people in the village are waiting to see how he will live after spending all his grandparents' money.

In fact, Liu Tong felt it was a pity for Liu Mengzhi. This bookworm had a good talent for reading.He can also get into the book wholeheartedly, without any other fantasies, and his mind is simple and free of distracting thoughts. This kind of personality is suitable for a scholar.It's a pity that there is no one to take care of his mother after his death, so he will lead a messy life, otherwise maybe their Liu family village can produce a master, and it will be of great help to the village at that time.

You Hongyin said: "Clan elder, don't bury me. You also know that I concentrated on studying and wanted to continue the scientific examination. The money left by my parents in the past few years has basically been exhausted."

Liu Tong pondered: "But this year's big exam is not entangled? Well, the help that the clan can give is probably limited, and you also know that every family is not very rich."

You Hongyin said with a smile: "The elders of the clan think badly. It's not because of rushing for the exam. It's just that I want to exchange some living expenses."

"In exchange?" Liu Tong was puzzled.

You Hongyin said: "I once looked through an ancient book in a second-hand bookstore, and came across a prescription by accident."

Liu Mengzhi never explained the origin of his recipe, saying it was a family tradition, but the Liu family has been farming villagers for generations, who in this village has something that other people don't know, and knowing the basics of the situation, making up such lies can only be coaxed outsider.This is also the reason why Liu Tong turned a blind eye to him later on, probably already guessing whether it was some evil spirit.

Liu Tong was not anxious when he heard Fang Zi's words. He had experienced many storms and waves, and he understood that anything could happen in the previous wars. Indeed, many ancient books came out of the hands of the aristocratic family.

However, in the end, Fangzi still has to look at the content inside to judge the value.

You Hongyin glanced at the children in the yard, and Liu Tong said, "Zhuzi, take your brothers and sisters to our field to pick green beans from a basket, and eat salted green beans tonight."

After the group of children left, You Hongyin said, "Have the clan elders heard of Liuli?"

Liu Tong frowned: "Could it be the glass formula? Well, it depends on how the finished product can be burned before deciding who to sell it to and how to sell it. There are quite a lot of glass formulas now, but the finished products are different from each other. If you want to sell Son, this old man can find someone to take the line."

Colored glaze has been handed down for thousands of years, and countless recipes have been developed. Today, its value is more reflected in the craftsmanship of the craftsman than in the material itself.Craftsmen with superb skills and artistic accomplishments can make colored glaze beautiful, with no flaws on the surface, which is no different from jade.Of course, because the source of its own raw materials is rare, even ordinary colored glaze products are not bad street goods, but it is not certain whether the things can be made back, whether they can be sold or not.

You Hongyin said: "I read Fangzi's last description. The finished product is transparent, crystal clear like water, and very malleable. I am afraid that it is completely different from the glass material on the market today. The most important thing is that its raw materials are not expensive. Liuli stone and Liuli mother."

The reason why the firing of colored glaze has not changed much for thousands of years is because of the limitation of raw materials, and the sources of these raw materials are not abundant.Therefore, in addition to making handicrafts, colored glaze is more often used to pretend to be more expensive jewelry.

Liu Tong stood up abruptly: "What are the raw materials?"

You Hongyin said: "Sand or quartz stone." He thought for a while and said: "Different types of sand may be burned differently. According to the description, quartz stone is rare in the south of us, and it is mostly found in hilly areas, but there is no shortage of sand here. "

Liu Tong said: "Try the authenticity of the recipe first. There is a kiln factory in Taojia Village next door, we can borrow it."

You Hongyin said: "That's what I mean too. Uncle Tong, if Fang Zi is true, why don't you just hand over the things to the clan, I want to continue studying, and if I really make profits, just give me two or three dividends every year."

Liu Tong took a deep look at him: "Don't worry, Uncle Liu won't let you suffer." He looked at the prescription that You Hongyin brought over, the manufacturing process was also written on it, Liu Tong didn't know much, but he was very good at it Focus on the key points, other processes of this recipe are easy to figure out, but the raw material processing link is the key point of confidentiality!

So Liu Tong said: "The processing of raw materials is still in your own hands. If I don't have a good life for a few years, others will not throw you away." He has experienced wars and never takes huge profits. To test human nature, because basically it cannot stand too many tests.

You Hongyin said: "It's too early to talk about this, let's burn the finished product first."

A few days later, Liu Tong was very excited holding a crystal clear teapot.Immediately, the whole village was convened to discuss this matter that benefited the whole village.

In the end, You Hongyin gave Liu Tong the raw material processing method, and asked him to be the controller. He agreed with Liu Tong's cautious and preventive attitude, but it didn't mean that he would do the hard work of processing raw materials. .Otherwise, why would he give the prescription to the clan? It's not that he himself has other ways to maximize the value of this prescription.

Although You Hongyin didn't get the cash right away, he used the excuse that he didn't know how to cook, so he went to Liu Tong's house. The craftsmanship is average, but it is much better than You Hongyin's own, which finally freed him from the embarrassing situation of drinking porridge every day.

This first step is to go out.

In addition to Liu Mengzhi's dissatisfaction with You Hongyin's handling, Liu Tong's work has gradually calmed down recently. To be honest, from the perspective of a bystander, Liu Tong, the village head and patriarch, has done very successfully, even though his education level is not high. , but compared to the original two, Liu Mengzhi is a man with low selfishness, and has always been thinking of the whole family.Liu Mengzhi is just a fan of the authorities, not completely ignorant of good and evil.That's why he stopped being angry with the people in the village recently. Even if he had grudges, he wouldn't beat them all to death with a single stick, completely putting everyone on the opposite side of himself.

You Hongyin started to prepare for firing glass products after seeing that the villagers were busy with farming, and he started to prepare for the second step.
