This made Cao Liang a little depressed. Originally, he tried to take this opportunity to make friends with Pei Xiu, but the two people had different interests and it was not surprising that they could not reach an agreement.

Nowadays, it is common practice for scholars in the upper class to take medicine, but Cao Liang does not agree with it, and naturally he is not willing to join in. After all, taking medicine is good for making friends with Pei Xiu, but in reality it is harmful to his own body.

If others don't tell you, Pei Xiu will die from Wu Shi San in the future. Do you want to end up with the same fate like him?

Cao Liang went down to the restaurant. Ah Fu and Fang Bu, who were waiting on the first floor, looked puzzled. Didn't the young marquis just go upstairs to have a meal? Why did he look like Changbai Mountain?

However, Cao Liang did not say anything, and they did not dare to ask. They quietly followed Cao Liang back to Gaolinghou Mansion.

Today, Cao Liang went to Yipinju specifically to find a shortcut to get rich. However, after looking at it for a long time, Cao Liang discovered that Yipinju's business model was not suitable for him at all. Firstly, the investment cost was too high, and secondly, the return cycle was too long.

Chang, trying to copy Yipinju’s business model is a dead end.

But what kind of project can be a short-term and quick money-making project? Cao Liang searched hard, but he was still at a loss.

Restricted by various conditions such as transportation, logistics, capital, and secular concepts, business in the Three Kingdoms era was not developed. Cao Liang originally thought that he could make a fortune casually based on his experience in selling in shopping malls in his previous life.

.

But in fact, without the soil of modern business society, Cao Liang found that no matter what he did, it would be difficult.

First of all, it is the secular concept. The positioning of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce in today's society puts merchants at the bottom, and merchants are in a lowly profession. Let alone those from a marquis family like Cao Liang, even if they are ordinary scholars' children, then

It's disdainful.

Secondly, there was the difficulty of transportation. Cao Liang envisioned cross-regional trade, transporting Shu brocade, tea from the south of the Yangtze River, and jade from the Western Regions to Luoyang for sale, taking advantage of the price differences between regions to make money.

But the reality is that Wei and Shu and Wu have been at war for years. Although private trade is carried out privately, the risks are extremely high, and it is possible that both people and money will be lost.

The inconvenience of transportation has also seriously slowed down the development of trade. For example, if you set off from Luoyang to Shu Kingdom and make a round trip, you will not be able to come back in less than half a year.

Although there are many shops in Luoyang city, which looks prosperous, in fact, the vast majority of shops are engaged in small businesses. Although the profits are not low, they are precarious, and there are many shops that close down every day.

The only exception is Yipinju, which is unique in Luoyang because it takes a high-end route and caters to the consumption needs of the upper-class aristocracy.

However, the success of Yipinju is almost impossible to replicate. Without huge capital investment, deep background, and brand credibility, no matter how much money you invest, you may lose everything.

After the road was blocked, Cao Liang was at a loss for what to do and frowned.

I didn't look at the almanac when I went out today, so everything really went wrong. Not to mention that I didn't get the scriptures when I arrived at Yipinju. I even missed the chance to make friends with Pei Xiu. My luck was really bad.

Five stones scattered!

Such a harmful thing actually made the scholars and celebrities of the Wei and Jin Dynasties flock to it. Do you think they are sick, and are they seriously ill?

Thinking of this, Cao Liang couldn't help but think. Yes, so many scholars and celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties liked this thing. Why not do what they like and run some Wushisan. Firstly, they can make money, and secondly, they can also make money.

Why not make friends with famous people?

This is indeed a quick way to get rich. Cao Liang knows that Wushisan, as the name suggests, is made from five kinds of ores ground into powder and then mixed in proportion. The cost is not expensive, but the selling price is extremely high.

It's definitely a good deal with huge profits.

To be honest, asking Cao Liang to sell Five Stone Powder is still a bit of a psychological burden. After all, it is a drug that is harmful to the body. But looking back, even if Cao Liang doesn't sell it, those scholars and celebrities

Don’t you want to take it anymore?

They still eat the money, but the money goes into other people's pockets. Instead of letting others make the money, it is better to make it yourself. If one day they really have the opportunity to rule the world, they can also do it like Lin Zexu.

Only by banning cigarettes and five-stone powder can we really help these celebrities and scholars.

If you want to take something, you must give it first. This principle cannot be simpler. How could Cao Liang not understand it?

Now is not the time when I was a virgin bitch. If I couldn't find the first pot of gold in life, Cao Liang's ideals and ambitions would not be realized, and he would not be able to compete with the Sima family in the stormy Gaopingling Incident.

.

Cao Liang is a person with great ideas. Once he thinks of something, he will immediately put it into action, such as building a catapult. Others may even weigh the pros and cons, but Cao Liang is different. He just does it as he says.

There is no sloppiness at all.

Building a catapult may violate imperial laws, but there is no such taboo in the production and sale of Wu Shi Powder. Cao Liang does not have to worry about anything, he can just roll up his sleeves and go for it.

Cao Liang called Ah Fu and Ah Gui in and told Ah Fu to find a magician who could prepare the Five Stone Powder, even if he hired him with a high salary.

Although Cao Liang knew the five medicinal stones of Wushi Powder, the proportions of the formula were not clear. In fact, by later generations, the formula of Wushi Powder had long been lost. Without the formula, it would have been impossible to create Wushi Powder.

Ah Fu took the order and left, and Cao Liang ordered A Gui to buy the raw materials for Wushi Powder, that is, the five medicinal stones used to prepare Wushi Powder.

In fact, there are many formulas for Wushi Powder. During the Wei Dynasty, five medicinal stones were mostly used: cinnabar, realgar, alum, Zeng Qing, and Cishi. Later, they were continuously improved and used stalactite, sulfur, white quartz, purple quartz, and red stone.

These five kinds of medicinal stones, and most of the five-flavored medicinal stones used in subsequent dynasties were composed of these five-flavored medicinal stones.

Cao Liang asked Agui to buy these five kinds of medicine stones, and buy back a hundred kilograms of each.

There is no shortage of medicinal stones. They can be purchased in general pharmacies. Agui went out for two hours and bought all the five medicinal stones that Cao Liang told him. The prices are indeed not expensive. Five hundred kilograms of medicinal stones.

It only cost less than 10,000 yuan.

Ah Fu's side seems to be not going well. Most of the warlocks who can prepare the Five Stone Powder are supported by the shops that deal in the Five Stone Powder. For example, Yipinju employs four or five warlocks to specialize in developing the formula of the Five Stone Powder. In the capital,

The five-stone powder sold in Luoyang is also the best in appearance from Yipinju.
