My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

After that, he took out some dried mushrooms and a box of canned food. Han Yong took the mushrooms and just glanced at them. They looked good, but the unit price was not high. If the quantity was not large, there would probably be little profit.

But he turned around and looked at the can of pork with interest. Jiang Li took a can opener and opened it. Han Yong picked up a piece and tasted it.

Then he nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, but the salt is a little heavy. If the salt is a little less, I think those middle-class families will like it very much."

"I just don't know how long this canned food can be stored. If it's too short, it might be difficult to transport!"

Jiang Li chuckled when he heard this, "Don't worry about that. When William sent the production line, he also came with an instruction manual, which said that if it is properly stored, it will not be a problem to keep it for two or three years."

"What you are eating was produced more than a month ago, and no problems have been found so far."

"But if there is less salt, I think it should be possible to store it for a year or two."

Han Yong smiled and nodded when he heard this. "As long as it's meat, especially meat that can be stored for a long time, it doesn't matter whether it has more or less salt."

As he spoke, he checked the dried pumpkin, pumpkin candy, and fried pumpkin seeds one by one, and finally tasted the raw pumpkin seeds.

After Jiang Li's explanation, he realized that the production of this thing was so high. He said that there was a lot to be done in this, but was stopped by Jiang Li.

Forget about the pumpkin seeds. You can distribute them to ordinary people when you are doing business. These days, people are starving everywhere, so save as many people as you can.

"General, you are so kind. I know this and will definitely help you distribute these pumpkin seeds. First, it will help the people. Second, it will help you gain hope and reputation and lay a foundation for your future military operations."

When Jiang Li heard him say that, he just shook his head and chuckled, but did not stop him. In the past, he did good deeds without leaving his name behind because as a Taoist priest, he did not really need that thing. But now, he has ambitions to rule the world, so reputation is very important.

Seeing that Jiang Li had no objection, Han Yong had an idea in his mind, "Marshal, these goods of yours are very good. If they can be shipped to Guangzhou, I think they will make a good profit."

"But apart from canned wine and beverages, everything else is bulk goods, which require a lot of transportation capacity. I'm afraid it's hard to make much money in a short period of time!"

"Do you have any valuable merchandise here? Something that's very expensive and very rare?"

Jiang Li touched his chin and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up immediately, and he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms (storage bag), "Look at this, this is Maoshan's secret hemostatic powder."

"You just need to pour it on the wound to stop the bleeding quickly. Is this thing rare?"

Han Yong immediately became excited when he heard this. Without caring about anything else, he smashed a cup and picked up a piece of porcelain to cut a cut on his hand.

Blood gushed out immediately, and then he took the small porcelain bottle from Jiang Li's hand and poured some powder on the wound. After a burst of stinging pain, the bleeding on his hand stopped.

He immediately looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand with surprise, "Good stuff, good stuff!"

"This medicine has an immediate effect and will surely sell for a very good price. I wonder how much of this medicine you have, Marshal? Can you make it in bulk?"

Jiang Li was speechless when he saw his smooth little combo. He was worthy of being called Han Yong, he was really brave.

"I don't have much of this medicine, but I know the recipe, so it shouldn't be difficult to make. However, the main medicine has a slightly higher annual requirement. If the age of the main medicine is reduced, the efficacy will probably be reduced."

When Han Yong heard that Jiang Li had a prescription, he immediately became excited. "It's okay. If the medicine is a little weak, just sell it at a normal price. If it's effective, sell it as a special medicine. If you increase the price by five, six, seven, eight, or ninety times, the money will roll in!"

"Okay, I'll set up a pharmaceutical bureau to specialize in making this hemostatic powder."

After that, the two of them discussed the organizational structure of water transportation for a long time. Only then did Han Yong return to the inn to rest with satisfaction.

When Jiang Li saw the two of them leave, he asked someone to find Jiang Youchi, and then took out all the maps belonging to Chen Xueming's territory in the south from the box and handed them to him.

"Make a few more copies of these maps, and then have the people below verify their authenticity!"

"Master, are we going to take action against Chen Xueming? His strength is not as good as other small warlords. It may be difficult for us to take him down!"

Jiang Li rolled his eyes at him when he heard that. "Nonsense, how could I not know that we can't eat him now?"

"I'm worried that as our territory continues to expand, Chen Xueming will be wary and may use his troops against us. If we don't know anything about him, we will be in a passive position in the fight!"

Jiang Youchi immediately chuckled upon hearing this, "So that's how it is. I'll make arrangements right away and make sure to find out everything about that guy!"

He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Li, "Wait a moment, while you're there, investigate the warlord who's fighting with Chen Xueming."

"If possible, I would like to try to form an alliance with him!"

Jiang Youchi nodded in agreement after hearing this. After asking Jiang Li if he had any other instructions, he turned and left.

Seeing Jiang Youchi leave, he went to the Infrastructure Bureau again and ordered them to send people to Nanxi County to expand the dock there into a transfer station and then build a few warehouses.

After arranging this matter, he took the box home. After putting the box in the study, he had a little free time, so he took out a Essence Pill from his storage bag and swallowed it.

He started practicing. Because of various things during this period, he hadn't done morning exercises for a long time. If he didn't practice a little while in his spare time, his dream of ruling the world and living forever would be ruined.

This training lasted for more than an hour. When the effect of the medicine wore off, he stood up, hugged Ren Tingting and her sister, and went back to the room to start physical training.

After two and a half hours, Jiang Li's physical training was finally over. He cleaned the two women and put them on the bed to rest. Then he left home to find William and Han Yong to discuss the purchase of supplies.

The two stayed in Tengteng County for two days and finally left reluctantly. On the one hand, Jiang Li was kind and generous to others.

Secondly, the chef in that restaurant had really good cooking skills, and the dishes he made were so delicious and tasty that the two of them were reluctant to leave, especially William, a savage who came from a food desert.

Tasting the various delicacies developed by the Chinese nation over thousands of years is like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, and you can't even move your feet.

But they had no choice but to board the boat as they both had a mission to accomplish. They looked back every few steps.

By the way, William has already tasted the canned pork produced by Qinghe No. 1 Cannery. Because Jiang Li specifically instructed not to add more salt for the sake of shelf life, the food tastes very good.
