With money on hand, Cao Liang can do many things freely.

However, Cao Liang was still more cautious when it came to building repeating crossbows. The farm was very closed, and outsiders were generally not allowed to enter. However, if he frequently transported iron ingots to the farm, it would still arouse suspicion from others.

After all, making a repeating crossbow consumes a huge amount of iron. Although a farm usually needs to build some agricultural tools such as plows, picks, and hoes, the iron consumption is limited.

Iron is exclusively sold by the imperial court. If the farm purchases too many iron ingots, it will definitely attract the attention of interested people.

Therefore, even though he is not short of money now, Cao Liang still does not roll up his sleeves with great fanfare. He still adopts the manual workshop model to control the output of repeating crossbows and control the monthly iron consumption within a certain amount.

At the same time, Cao Liang secretly sent people to Yecheng and Qingzhou to purchase iron ingots in small and large batches, reducing the amount purchased in the Luoyang market.

As a result, the cost of purchasing iron ingots will inevitably increase a lot, but Cao Liang doesn't need to consider money at all now, he can do it as safely as possible.

In addition, the repeating crossbow has been created, but someone must be able to operate it. Otherwise, it will be piled in the warehouse and become a pile of dead objects. When it is actually used, it will be found to be useless.

It takes at least two to three years to train a crossbowman, not to mention that this is just an ordinary crossbow, and it takes even longer to operate a complex repeating crossbow.

So while building the repeating crossbow, Cao Liang had already had the idea of ​​cultivating a group of repeating crossbowmen.

There are quite a few tenants in the Cao family's farm, but it is obviously unrealistic to allocate hundreds of people to train repeated crossbows. Thousands of acres of the Cao family's land have been abandoned. Dad really passed the test.

No.

Recruitment is not impossible, but since this is a private army, the loyalty of the personnel must be guaranteed. If the secret is leaked, you will be killed.

Cao Liang thought about it for a while and decided to wait for a while before discussing this matter.

The top priority now is to establish and improve Wu Shi San's direct sales system. You can't just sit back and relax just because you have made your first money.

The reason why the direct selling method develops rapidly is that it can discover downlines. Everyone hopes that they are not the last one, and hope that they can attract more people and make more money.

But the reality is cruel. When everyone is caught up in excitement and blind action, only Cao Liang is the most sober. Direct selling must have developed rapidly in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, as the market has become saturated, direct selling has become more and more saturated.

You will inevitably face the problem of insufficient stamina.

In direct selling, the bottom layer of the pyramid is a problem that can never be avoided. No matter how rapidly the middle and upper layers develop, the bottom layer will always exist, and due to the unlimited expansion of the middle and upper layers, the base of the bottom layer will inevitably become even larger.

Although the direct sales of Wushisan is not the kind of pyramid scheme that relies on buying and selling people to squeeze the flesh and blood of the offline people, after losing the advantage of making money, the enthusiasm of buyers will inevitably be reduced. After all, it is an indisputable fact that Xiaoyao Wushisan is expensive.

, some people can ignore its expensiveness, but some people will be deterred by it.

What Cao Liang needs to do now is to prepare for a rainy day. Even though the sales of Wushi Powder are extremely hot now, they will eventually decline. But by then, Cao Liang already has enough financial resources in his hands to change the direct sales model to

The store sales model is also very easy and simple.

What's more, Xiaoyao Five Stone Powder has already established a good reputation in Luoyang. These celebrities and scholars have become indispensable in relying on Xiaoyao Five Stone Powder. The change in sales model will not cause much reaction.

But if the sales model is changed, it will definitely affect the interests of those who have immediate benefits, such as He Yan. Cao Liang estimated that this month's rebate alone would be enough to reach 10 million yuan.

If Cao Liang now says that he has withdrawn the direct sales model, then He Yan must be furious and want to jump out and fight Cao Liang.

When can I touch this piece of cheese?

Cao Liang couldn't easily determine it. At least he would have the chance to make a move when the time was right.

In short, Cao Liang hates Wushi Powder deeply. Now he manufactures and sells Wushi Powder to reduce the harm caused to people by inferior Wushi Powder as much as possible. Although Xiaoyao Wushi Powder has the same toxic and side effects, the side effects are obviously less than

Those low quality five stone powders.

Now with Cao Liang's ability, he can't influence whether people take Wushi Powder or not, but he is doing his best to save some lives so that these addicts can live longer, such as Pei Xiu, Cao Liang is definitely

To ensure that he does not die of poisoning at the age of forty-eight.

Alleviating the toxicity of Wu Shi San is only a temporary measure. Cao Liang's real wish is to eliminate Wu Shi San and eliminate this stubborn disease that has been passed down for thousands of years.

To realize this wish, Cao Liang must reach the pinnacle of power. In this era of supremacy of monarchy, there is nothing that power cannot do. For example, banning Wushi San can be done with only an edict from the emperor.

, even if it cannot be completely eradicated, at least the Five Stone Powder will no longer be displayed in such a grand manner in the market, enter the homes of princes and nobles, or even enter the palace.

The inaction of the previous dynasties, and even the emperors and ministers taking the lead in taking it, led to the spread of Wushi Powder, which caused disaster for thousands of years.

According to incomplete statistics, from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the end of the Tang Dynasty, millions of people took Wushisan, and at least hundreds of thousands died from it. It was so terrifying.

Fortunately, the long history of Wu Shi San is just the beginning. If Cao Liang strangles it in the cradle in the future, at least hundreds of thousands of lives can be saved.

Although Cao Liang's production and sale of Wu Shi Powder may now be criticized by future generations, Cao Liang has not regretted it. He has been criticized by future generations for his life. It is enough for Cao Liang to have a clear conscience.

If you don’t experience labor pain, how can you know the value of life?

After dealing with these trivial matters, Cao Liang decided to take a trip to Shouyang Mountain. After all, Taoist Priest Ziyun gave him this way of wealth. Cao Liang is not a person who forgets his roots. He should go and say thank you, then he must do it.

go.

To be honest, Taoist Master Ziyun is really good. The five-stone powder he prepared is enough to instantly kill other five-stone powders on the market. At least half of Cao Liang's success is due to Taoist Master Ziyun.

I just don’t know how well Taoist Ziyun is doing at this moment when he comprehends the inner elixir cultivation method he provided to him. To be honest, Cao Liang only knows a little bit about it, not to mention the so-called attainment of immortality. Facts have proved that it is all true.
