When everyone had arrived, Liu Yuan knelt down on the main seat and took in everyone's view before saying,""I'll be heading north to Youzhou soon. I've been thinking about my future development these days and finally got something today.”
"I predict that the world will be in chaos five years later. At that time, heroes will rise up and fight for the world. Therefore, I have to make preparations now.”Liu Yuan looked at the fifty-three people below and said,""How many of you think you have business talent?”
As soon as he finished speaking, 13 people with Liu Yi as their leader stood out from the crowd."Young Master, we are willing to do business."
When these fifty-three people joined Liu Yuan, most of them didn't have names. Some of them even had names like Gou Dan and Ah Niu. Therefore, Liu Yuan gave them the surname Liu. They were ranked according to their age, from Liu 1 to Liu 53.
This Liu Yi was the oldest among them. When he was young, he had followed his father in business. Later, he encountered a huge change and became a bandit. The inn that was opened in Luoyang was managed by him.
Liu Yuan nodded." War is about money, food, and population. Therefore, your missions in the future are extremely important. You will be my backup."”"Liu Yi, my request for you is to open the entire Chamber of Commerce in every corner of the Great Han Dynasty!" At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce has to bear the heavy responsibility of collecting information. I hope you won't disappoint me!”
"Here!" Liu Yi's voice was sonorous, and then he looked troubled.""Young Master, although I have some business methods, it's difficult for me to open a Chamber of Commerce in the Great Han Dynasty!”
"Hehe, don't worry. I've already prepared for this.”Liu Yuan took out a stack of papers and said," Liu Yuan took out a piece of paper and explained to Liu Yi,""This is a kind of apparatus used to distill, filter, and purify fine wine. The fine wine brewed with it is ten times more delicious and mellow than the tribute wine in the imperial palace!”
After saying that, he handed it to Liu Yi." When you forge this kind of tool, you must find different craftsmen to forge the various parts separately. Only then will there be no danger of leaking the secret.”Seeing Liu Yi solemnly put the paper away, Liu Yuan picked up the second piece of paper and said,""This is a new paper-making technology that is dozens of times better than today's. This new technology greatly saves the process and raw materials, saving labor and time. The paper produced is more exquisite and snow-white, and it is better to use. There are also diagrams of the tools you need. Keep them well.”Liu Yuan handed the paper back to Liu Yi.
"The last one is printing!" Liu Yuan glanced at the dumbfounded Guo and Chen and said,""I call this printing technique movable type printing. It can print all kinds of books extremely quickly and conveniently, providing great convenience to the students of the world. I have a condition and a request. The prerequisite is that you must use my name, and the requirement is that no matter what method you use to spread it, you must cut off all ties with the Chamber of Commerce and not let anyone associate me with the Chamber of Commerce.”
"Yes, sir! Young Master."
Seeing Liu Yi's promise, Liu Yuan couldn't help but smile. He took out a jar of wine from under the table, opened the mud seal, bit his finger, and dripped thirteen drops of blood into it."My blood is extraordinary and can greatly increase a person's strength and physique. I will naturally not treat you unfairly if you work for me.”As he spoke, he clapped his hands and called for someone to bring over a wine bowl. He divided the jar of wine into thirteen portions and said,"The thirteen of you, come up. Each of you will have a bowl. After drinking it, one's physical fitness would greatly improve for a few months. One would be immune to all diseases and their lifespan would also increase greatly. It would not be difficult for them to live past a hundred years.”
Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard this. Then, they looked at Liu Yuan with fanatical expressions. Even Guo Jia and Chen Qun couldn't help but be stunned. In their eyes, that wine was no longer wine, but a panacea!
"No wonder Young Master is so powerful.”Dian Wei swallowed his saliva and muttered.
Liu Yi and the other thirteen quickly stepped forward, each taking a bowl of blood wine and gulping it down, causing the eyes of the others to shine with green light and their mouths to dry.
"Master!"
After the thirteen of them finished drinking the wine, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times."I swear my loyalty to Master!"
Liu Yuan nodded in relief. He picked up the last piece of paper and said,"This is a cultivation technique for assassins. When it is mastered to the minor level, it is extremely fast and can hide one's aura. When it is mastered to the major level, its speed will increase further and one can even hide in one's shadow without being noticed. In the future, when you develop your subordinates, you must give me a drop of blood essence after you approve of it. Only then can you teach me this technique. Otherwise, no one will be able to cultivate it.”
Liu Yi and the others were delighted. One had to know that if a chaotic world came, human lives were like weeds. Those who did not have the ability to protect themselves would die without a complete corpse. Moreover, the cultivation methods in the world were either monopolized by the big families or in the hands of the hidden masters. How could ordinary civilians have a share? Now that Master had not only given him immortal blood, but he had also given him a peerless technique without any misgivings, how could he not be ecstatic?
After Liu Yi and the other thirteen people left, Liu Yuan looked at the rest of the people in the hall with interest and said to Guo Jia beside him,"Fengxiao, what do you think?"
Only then did Guo Jia come back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and said,"With such capital, as long as you are not a fool, you will definitely be able to occupy a region and become a vassal in the future. It is also very likely that you will unify the Nine Provinces.”
Chen Qun nodded and said," Zihong has the movable type printing technique to make his name known. He is also a relative of the Han royal family. All the scholars in the world will definitely fight to join him, especially those from poor families!”
"Then what are your thoughts now?”
Guo and Chen looked at each other and suddenly stood up. They walked to the center of the hall and prostrated themselves."Guo Jia (Chen Qun) greets the lord!”
"Hahaha…" Liu Yuan was overjoyed.”As he spoke, he helped the two of them up and said,"Do you know that we have been waiting for this day and are haggard?"”
That night, Liu Yuan had lost a lot of blood. He had to recuperate for more than ten days before he could recover. There was nothing he could do about it. The fifty over people, each with a drop of blood essence, almost dug out Liu Yuan's shell!
Fortunately, Zhao Ji had heard that Liu Yuan was sick and would visit him every few days. Their relationship developed very quickly. They held hands and hugged each other. It was just that due to etiquette, they did not touch each other and snatch their first kiss.
It was worth mentioning that Cao Cao actually visited Liu Yuan twice. The first time was to resolve the misunderstanding of flirting with Cai Yan. At that time, only Yuan Shu was rude. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao just stood at the side and watched the show. After receiving Zhao Ji's confirmation, Liu Yuan no longer insisted on it. The second time was when Cao Cao wanted to discuss poetry and songs with him. It turned out that Liu Yuan's drunken plagiarism of " Jiang Jin Jiu " and " Shui Diao Ge Tou " had long spread throughout Luoyang due to Cai Yong's relationship, and had the momentum of spreading to Yingchuan and other places. Cao Cao was also interested in this, so he came to discuss with Liu Yuan. Firstly, it was for his own interest, and secondly, he wanted to test Liu Yuan and find out his character.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Liu Yuan had fully recovered his vital qi, and his reputation among the scholars of Luoyang had soared. He had also brewed good wine, and even the tools for making paper and printing were basically ready.
"It's time to leave!"
Liu Yuan looked at the fluttering yellow leaves in the courtyard and knew that he could not delay any longer. He went to the Imperial Palace to pay his respects to the Emperor and offered him wine. He also went to the residences of Zhang Rang and He Jin to bribe them. Finally, he went to the Cai Residence to bid farewell to Zhao Ji Yiyi. Only then did he return to the residence of the Marquis of Yuyang and pack his luggage. He was ready to leave Luoyang the next morning and go north to Youzhou.
