In other words, without any effort, Sun Cheng had an extra sharp sword in his hand that could point and strike.
"My earlier plans can finally start to advance!"

Jiang Butou is also a straightforward person. He knows the value of these mahogany clocks, and the Jiang family is not short of money.
Immediately, he asked the housekeeper to pick up the 500 taels of bank notes and handed them over to Sun Cheng.
These banknotes are selected from the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, and are issued by the largest time-honored banks.
No matter in the town of Dafangbo or in the township, there is a bank account of their family, which can be exchanged for cash.
Sun Cheng was naturally very satisfied with this, and most of the mahogany clocks were in that batch.
They were all created by him in the inner world after he finished training at night.
However, since a few days ago, some of the little maids in the Inner World Courtyard have completed simple training.
The parts provided by him can be used to assemble the mahogany clock.
After all, there were no professional training schools in this era, so Sun Cheng first taught the two maids who often served the bed alone, and then they taught more young maids.
Therefore, the efficiency is much lower, but he can still accept it.
It is estimated that there will be many little maids in Sun Cheng's inner world in two or three months at most.
You can start making clocks by hand, and increase the number of clocks you make in a single month to more than one hundred.
As for pocket watches, maybe a little later.
Sun Cheng himself tried to make a few finished products, but because the time spent was far longer than a clock, he temporarily gave up and continued to make by himself.
He has already started to cultivate the little maids, and he is going to let them make them after they are proficient in their crafts.
Sun Cheng was in a good mood after successfully tying the Jiang family to his chariot. 240
"By the way, Captain Jiang. Your Jiang family has a big business, and you must know a lot of people. I wonder if you can meet businessmen who do business in food and in Annan, and know where there are mines in Annan?"
After subduing the Jiang family, Sun Cheng no longer intends to continue to work hard to open the store.
He has nearly [-] mu of land in the inner world to grow large tracts of sweet potatoes, for those harvested crops.
Sun Cheng plans to conquer a few more merchants like the Jiang family and sell them to more places in the country at a low price.
As for himself, he only needs to control the shipment.
You don't need to think about shipping goods or opening a store. Not only can you save a lot of time, but you can also save a lot of manpower. At the same time, you can recruit more people and try to form your own forces.
Jiang Butou was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Master, what is this?"
If Sun Cheng wanted to sell grain, Jiang Butou could somewhat understand.
He sent people to inquire about Sun Cheng's news, and he knew that he started out as a grain merchant, and his subordinates had a grain store in Shangxiang Town and Dafangbo Town, which mainly dealt in sweet potato crops.
Although southerners are not used to eating sweet potatoes, in times of disaster, ordinary people can survive with them.
So you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it, it's just that the number of people who buy it will affect that's all.
It was Sun Cheng who asked him about minerals, and it was Annan's side.
This stumped Jiang Butou, and he couldn't figure out what Sun Cheng was thinking, so he had to ask.
Sun Cheng smiled, "I have a relationship and can get a lot of sweet potato flour at a low price of about ten yuan per catty."
"It doesn't taste good, but it's cheap."
"I've made a lot of money from it in the past few years, but it's a waste of time to sell it myself. I just want to ask Jiang Butou if you know anyone."
"I will provide the source of goods, and they will be responsible for shipping them out for sale."
He paused, then pointed to the mahogany clocks and said, "As for asking about Annan's mineral products, it's because there is a large amount of metals needed for the contact of a fellow Taoist. Domestic trading restrictions are not small, and it is even more troublesome to open a mine by yourself. Fortunately, there are fellow Taoists who want to go to Annan Take a look over there, if you encounter any big mines, you can take it down and run it yourself."
Jiang Butou was also moved for a moment!
In the past two years, in order to compete for Annan, the imperial court and France fought on the border between the two countries.
The price of grain in Guangxi Province soared several times at one time, even Jiang Tutou, who was born in a wealthy and prominent family, paid some attention to the price of grain.
Although he has never eaten sweet potato flour, but the name of the thing has the word flour in it, so even if it is unpalatable, it is similar to stick noodles.
A catty of sweet potato noodles is only ten renminbi. If the goods can be shipped stably, even if the freight and road consumption are all included in the per catty, it will still be sold at [-] renminbi per catty.
We must know that although agricultural products cannot be sold at high prices, they are just needed, and no one can stop eating or drinking.
Therefore, Jiang Butou even had the idea that the Jiang family would also set up their own grain store and start buying and selling grain.
But the idea just came up, and was quickly suppressed by him.
Jiang Butou sighed in his heart, it's not that he doesn't know how to make money by being a grain merchant.
But I can't help that the Jiang family is not very prosperous, especially their own family. Because of the wax corpses in the ancestral house before, it is an eye-opener for each generation of the family to live to forty.
Doing business in this day and age relies on the help of relatives. The family is not prosperous, and the other branches of the Jiang family are not much better.
I could only press down on this idea, Jiang Butou rang carefully for a while, and then answered him: "Speaking of grain merchants, I know someone in Fukang County, who is strictly related to me. Master, you If necessary, I can recommend (bbcj) for you.”
"As for the businessman who knows about the minerals on Annan's side..."
Jiang Butou thought about it for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know many people who go to Annan to do business. I will ask someone to ask for clarification later, and I will get back to you!"
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Jiang Butou!"
Sun Cheng thanked him and was about to leave.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he reached into his inner pocket, took out two brand new Colt M1873 revolvers, and handed them to Butou Jiang.
"Oh, by the way, that fellow daoist also gave me two muskets made by himself, so I'll give them to you for self-defense."
"It's more troublesome to get the bullets, so you have to do it yourself!"
Jiang Butou took over two heavy revolvers, took a look at them, and suddenly breathed heavily.
"Grandmaster!"
He suddenly stopped Sun Cheng who was about to leave, and asked, "Will that Taoist priest you know still make these foreign guns?"
Sun Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and then secretly cursed himself for being confused.
He had forgotten that since the invasion of Xia Kingdom by foreigners, the Qing government had cede territory and paid compensation, which had seriously intensified domestic conflicts.
Moreover, in the past few decades, natural disasters and flood disasters have continued in various provinces.
Therefore, there are many people who can't survive and fall into the grass and become thieves.
There are also Westernization factions in various places trying to promote the New Deal and train new troops!
Therefore, the domestic demand for foreign guns and guns is very large, and even in dental shops and pawn shops all over the country, foreign guns can be used as real gold and silver.
Sun Cheng once got some Mauser 1871 rifles from Chen Bazong and the others.
He has also studied that the efficiency of manual refining is definitely not as good as that of foreigners' large-scale industrial production.
But if Sun Cheng really wants to do it, it is not difficult to make a few shots in one night's spare time.
Immediately, he nodded and said: "Of course I will, that fellow Taoist gave me a few long guns, just wait..."
After finishing speaking, he pretended to take it out of his pocket again, but actually took out two Mauser 1871 rifles from the inner world and handed them to Butou Jiang.
Jiang Butou glanced at Sun Cheng's clothes greedily, thinking that he took them out of the small Qiankun bag.
He is a local headhunter, and he can be regarded as a military officer in front of him, so he naturally knows guns.
After groping for a while, he looked at Sun Cheng excitedly: "Good gun, Master... Banditry has been serious in various places recently. Our Jiang family's caravan has been robbed several times, and we need to buy some guns for self-defense..."
"Master, I don't know if you can ask me if the priest is willing to sell us some guns!"
"I'm willing to buy a hundred rods at the price of two hundred oceans!"
On the other side of the port, the price for foreigners will be cheaper.
Generally, one hundred oceans can buy a gun with a small amount of bullets.
It's just that the Qing court was worried that too many foreign guns would flow into the country, which would worsen the domestic situation.
Therefore, a long time ago, when negotiating with foreigners, the Qing government argued with reason, stipulating that foreigners should not ship large quantities of goods to China.
Therefore, guns for foreigners may be very cheap, but money is not enough to buy them.
Sun Cheng thought for a while, and then agreed: "Yes, I can help him make the decision, but you need to solve the bullet yourself."
"Row!"
Jiang Butou readily agreed, and there were not so many restrictions on buying bullets from foreigners.
In this meeting, both of them got what they wanted, and they were naturally satisfied.
Sun Cheng didn't stay in Jiang's house for too long, and left Jiang's house quickly under the pretext of having something to do before the meal.

Chapter 119 Goodbye Wuxin (please subscribe)
After leaving the Jiang Mansion, Sun Cheng didn't go to his residence in Dafangbo Town, but went straight to Bailu Temple.
Earlier in Bailu Temple, the monk named Chen had revealed the date of birth of his cousin Xiaoyun to that playboy Ge Changshou.
When Sun Cheng came to Bailu Temple, he wanted to trouble Monk Chen.
But even if he didn't deserve to die at that time, it wasn't worth it to be a monk that day.
Moreover, when Sun Cheng visited Bailu Temple at that time, he accidentally found Monk Wu-Xin.
Later, many things happened to him one after another, which caused a long delay.
But Sun Cheng has a small book in his heart for those who have offended him.
Even if Monk Liaochen did it unintentionally, it almost ruined Xiaoyun's innocence.
So when he came to Bailu Temple this time, Sun Cheng needed his life.
Before he arrived at Bailu Temple, he had already taken out Jingwei's beak from the small Qiankun bag, and put it on the index finger of his right hand.
After Sun Cheng returned to Shangxiang some time ago, he took the time to study this ancient treasure carefully.
And infused with the true energy in his body, he began to try to refine the beak of Jingwei.
After some exploration and research, Sun Cheng has now mastered more ways to use Jingwei's beak.
It is said that Bailu Temple was built during the Qianlong period. Because it was donated by believers, the scale of the temple is not large. There are only about [-] monks practicing here.
Perhaps because there was no temple fair today, when Sun Cheng came to Bailu Temple, there were not many pilgrims here.
"donor……"
As soon as Sun Cheng entered the temple, he was greeted by an intellectual monk.
He smiled and took out a big ocean, and took a bunch of sandalwood from the Zhike monk.
"Is Master Liaochen here?" Sun Cheng asked.
Zhike monk nodded and pointed to a side hall next to him.
"The master is right there, waiting to release the lottery for the destined person!"
"Thank you!"
After Sun Cheng thanked him, he walked into the main hall.
He casually inserted a bunch of incense in his hand into the incense burner.
Then he went straight to the stick holder, shook it casually a few times, picked up a hanging stick that had fallen out, and was about to leave.
