In the mysterious book of Bencao Bingzhong, the most common thing is the art of curing diseases and saving lives. And many prescriptions for curing diseases and saving lives require various materials from monsters and demons. Just a rough processing can bring considerable profits. Therefore, the establishment of the East and West Factories was planned by Lu Changjing a long time ago. Although they have the same name as the East and West Factories of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, Lu Changjing's East and West Factories will far exceed the East and West Factories of the Ming Dynasty. The strength is different, the function is different, and the meaning is even more different. As Lu Changjing said, the East Factory means the Monster Factory in the East, and the West Factory means the Monster Factory in the West. In addition to slaying monsters and eliminating demons, they are also responsible for processing various materials from monsters and demons in exchange for various resources and treasures. Inevitably, they will also carry out deep processing to make some panaceas for healing injuries and diseases. A Bencao Bingzhong can not only cultivate a large number of alchemists and doctors, but also bring a huge amount of wealth and resources, which will even exceed the various resources and treasures brought by gunpowder. Now the first product made by gunpowder, Thunderbolt, has been sold well in surrounding countries, bringing Lu Changjing considerable profits every day, and has become the most profitable industry of Tan's Business. At this moment, Tan Qianqian was extremely grateful that he could marry his daughter to His Majesty the Emperor, and helped Lu Changjing a lot in the early stage, otherwise there would be no such lucrative business as Thunderbolt. Seeing that the resources and treasures earned were increasing, not to mention Tan Qianqian, the entire Tan's Business felt terrified, and quickly reduced the share to half, and the remaining 95% was Lu Changjing's.
Even if Lu Changjing didn't take it, it wouldn't work. In desperation, Lu Changjing could only take another half of the profit. Compared with the profit of Thunderbolt, the cost can almost be said to be zero, they are just some ordinary things, how can they be compared with extraordinary spiritual things. So every time when discussing the share, Tan's Business never included the cost in it. How many extraordinary spiritual things were earned, 95% of them were given to Lu Changjing, and they didn't dare to embezzle at all. This made Lu Changjing feel a little embarrassed. He didn't pay a cent for the cost of the Thunderbolt, and all the production, transportation, and sales were done by Tan's Business. As a result, when it came to the division of the profits, 95% was his. I don't know how much time and energy he saved, which is definitely a good thing. Even if Lu Changjing set up a business to do this himself, it wouldn't be much more than this. His father-in-law and Tan's Business really had a lot of intentions. They were a win-win situation. Lu Changjing didn't suffer any loss, and Tan's Business didn't suffer any loss. They all made a lot of money. Such huge profits naturally attracted the covetousness of many strong people and forces. Although they didn't know how much the Thunderbolt cost, many strong people and forces were not fools. After disassembling the Thunderbolt, they also vaguely guessed that its cost was not as high as imagined, so they couldn't help but want to take the Thunderbolt. But with Lu Changjing as a backing, as long as it wasn't the gods and demons who took action, he wouldn't be afraid at all. Even if gods and demons attack, Lu Changjing is not afraid unless they are strong among the mid-level gods and demons. However, the thunder seed has only reached the advanced level at present, which can barely threaten the grandmaster, so how can it attract the attention of gods and demons? The current scale is also relatively limited, and it has not caused much impact. Moreover, the thunder seed has an upper limit after all. I am afraid that it can only reach the level comparable to the top-level spiritual talisman at most. If you want to threaten gods and demons, you must make thunder seeds the size of a house. However, such a large thunder seed is not enough for gods and demons to hold. How can they use it to deal with the enemy? Therefore, the value of thunder seeds currently displayed is not enough to make gods and demons excited. When the scale is expanded and can impress those gods and demons, Lu Changjing's cultivation realm has long been unknown. The number of thunder seeds sold by Tan's Business has been agreed by Lu Changjing. He will adjust the sales volume of thunder seeds according to his own cultivation situation. Even if it has been restrained, Tan's Business is still trembling every day, fearing that it will be targeted by those powerful forces. With the vast wealth and resources provided by glass products and Thunderbolt, Lu Changjing has too much money on hand. As long as he doesn't buy magic pills and magic medicines, it's basically enough.
The various elixirs that Bencao Bingzhong can bring are not limited to the level of physical warriors and Qi refining masters, but also include soul refining gods and demons, and even higher levels. In the future, it can help Lu Changjing earn a lot of god-level resources and wealth, which will far exceed any glass products and gunpowder products, so it is already the most important in Lu Changjing's heart. The East Factory and the West Factory are related to the future god-level resources and treasures, so you can imagine their importance in Lu Changjing's heart. For this reason, Lu Changjing carefully selected Zhang Zhaozhong and Cai Gu as the owners of the East and West Factories. Zhang Zhaozhong's ability is unquestionable. He has been able to remain neutral under the threat of the peace party in recent years, and has developed the Yulin Guard in an orderly manner, which is enough to prove his strength. Although Cai Gu was greedy for power and wanted to be a high-ranking official, he was very capable and managed the Jinyiwei in an orderly manner almost by himself. Cao Wenzheng was busy accompanying the emperor and had no time to take care of the Jinyiwei. Most of the time, it was Cai Gu who managed the Jinyiwei. Cai Gu was able to not become corrupt and become a traitor under the oppression of the peace party and Cao Wenzheng and others. It can be seen that Cai Gu's ability and position are at least worthy of the salary over the years. So although the two's cultivation and strength were slightly weaker, Lu Changjing still gave them the opportunity to serve as the owners of the two factories respectively. For this pie that fell from the sky, Cai Gu chose to eat it immediately and swore that he was willing to die for Lu Changjing. This is a position of the same level as the commander of the Jinyiwei, and even higher than the commander of the Jinyiwei. For Cai Gu, who is obsessed with officials, he is not afraid even if it is dangerous. And he also believes that His Majesty the Emperor will not let him die in vain. Zhang Zhaozhong has similar ideas. Although he is not obsessed with officials, how could he not be willing to take a higher position. So the two agreed and began to select personnel from the Yulin Guard, Jinyi Guard, and the other thirty-six guards of the imperial city. They were all masters who have special skills in slaying demons and exorcising monsters. According to Lu Changjing's requirements, the worst is also a high-level warrior. The initial plan for the two factories, East and West, involves 10,000 people, and they are eligible to select personnel from various departments across the country. In terms of the power in this regard, it is greater than that of almost any other department.
