Yipin Danxian

Chapter 199
It is true that Qingyu did not sleep well, and was extremely bored and worried. The last batch of mao tributes was only handed in in the first month, and it is not yet autumn, so why do we have to hand in next year?And it is limited to pay before the end of September!

Of course Wu Sheng knew the reason. The battle of Jiuzi had been going on for too long, and the state of Wu was unknown, but there were a lot of problems on the side of Chu. This shows how fierce the battle ahead is.

Moreover, Wu Sheng also knew who the instigator of this edict was, it must be Cui Ming. It is not surprising that this guy acts as the agent of the Zuo Tu Mansion, and the new official takes office, lighting two or three fires. If he does not do this, how can he serve the king ?How can I really get my job as Zuo Lang?
For Cui Ming, he not only reaped the merits, but also brought Wu Sheng a big business.

For Qingyu, the feeling is not so good: "One thousand gold Maogong is added to the four countries, this year is not comfortable! How can there be any reason to advance Maogong next year?"

Wu Shengxin said that it was only a year before the recruitment. You haven't seen anyone who has collected contributions for the next 100 years in advance. You will get used to it by then.

Of course, there is no need to scare Qingyu at this time, so he said: "Or those things? Then I will start refining immediately!"

Qingyu said: "Seven hundred Wushen Pills, two hundred Jingning Pills, one hundred Dahuang Pills, and five hundred Shenggu Pills...Although the price of Yangzhou Lingdan has risen sharply, Zuotu Mansion has already reduced five hundred pieces. The panacea, but it is really a headache... The key is, what kind of pill is this life-bone pill? Sikong Yipu said to ask you Yongrentang's Treasurer Dong, he doesn't know either!"

Wu Sheng said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, if you were an alchemist from another family, I might not be able to refine this raw bone alchemy, but I am from the line of high masters of Xianmen, so I happen to know the method of alchemy."

Qing Yuxi said: "This is the best, but I don't know how much is the price of a raw bone pill?"

Wu Sheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you can see the problem at a glance. Indeed, at this time, it is not easy to refine alchemy, not only raw bone pills, but also other spirit pills. Half a year ago, Chen Gang Jiangfang The spiritual materials that can be collected in the city have been collected, and now if you want to collect so many, I am afraid it will be quite difficult, and the price must not be low."

Qing Yu sighed, "What should I do? The widow also said the same to Yi Pu. But the edicts of the Chu people are strict, so there is no need to delay."

Wu Sheng pondered and said: "Since the country is difficult, I can't stand still. I plan to save more for the monarch, and take care of myself. I will strive to refine this batch of pills at the price at the beginning of the year. No matter how much money I have, I don't care about it." How much more will be paid by the minister!"

Qing Yu was so moved that he almost shed tears: "Of all the nobles in the country, only Shen Qing can take care of the widow's worries!"

It feels very good to hold someone's hand, especially when shaking it, it feels quite a sense of gratitude, but it feels very awkward when someone holds hands tightly and keeps pulling them into their arms.

Wu Sheng struggled a few times but didn't break free, so he had to express that he wanted to make alchemy immediately, even if he went through fire and water, he would not hesitate to ask the king to give him wine, so as to be strong, so he escaped from Miyagi by the opportunity of drinking. Stance, if you continue to develop, you have to fall asleep.

Holding Qing Yu's edict in hand, Wu Sheng went to the Sikong Mansion to meet Yi Pu. Yi Pu also knew that the current price of panacea would inevitably increase in price. The total price of [-] gold promised by the monarch was indeed less than that at the beginning of the year.

But even so, he couldn't afford two hundred and thirty gold.

"It's really impossible to get it out. There is only one hundred and eighty gold in the treasury now. If we can get this money out by the end of the year, there is nothing we can do now."

"At the beginning of the year, the son became a double conspiracy..."

"Half of the wealth of the couple was given to Yu Guowei as a betrothal. Mrs. Yu Jiang's dowry is her private property, and the king can't do it. Including Bu Yin Jicheng, to be honest, the property confiscated by his family , only got sixty gold, and the rest, such as the land of the town, the mansion and the shop, have not been sold. The doctor must have forgotten that when the king ascended the throne, he rewarded all the officials and the three armies. At that time, nearly two hundred gold was spent, and the remaining Very few!"

Wu Sheng sighed. He remembered that he had received at least sixty gold from Qing Yu, so it seemed that there was really nothing in the treasury.

"Forget it, it's only one hundred and eighty gold, Sikong will allocate it now, I'm going to buy spiritual materials."

"No, at most one hundred and twenty gold, I gave it to you, and the treasury can't be opened!"

"At least one hundred and seventeen!"

"One hundred and thirteen at most!"

"One more step, one hundred and sixteen!"

"Doctor Shen, Alchemist Shen, please spare Yi, one hundred and four, no more!"

"This is what Chu State wants, Chu State! It must be sent directly to the army! Chu State!"

"Okay, one hundred and fifty gold, and the remaining eighty gold will be replenished at the end of the year!"

The two finally reached a consensus after continuous confrontation, Wu Sheng smiled wryly: "Doctor Yi, Sikong, did a good job, Yongrentang will pay [-] gold in advance, and a certain family is going bankrupt."

Yi Pu was ashamed: "Doctor Shen is considerate, the country is not enough, let's wait until next year, next year will be fine."

Carrying a box full of [-] gold, Wu Sheng returned to Yongrentang. Master Dongsun had gathered the spiritual material suppliers he usually contacted, and they were all gathered in the hall to wait.

Wu Sheng smiled and nodded amidst the greetings of the crowd, and then hooked his hands at Master Dongsun under the hot eyes, and the two went straight to the back hall.

"How? Got the money?" Master Dongsun rubbed his hands.

"I got it, but it's a little small." Wu Sheng replied.

Master Dongsun was a little dissatisfied: "It's less than at the beginning of the year? How do you make money?"

Wu Sheng reprimanded: "The state affairs are in dire straits and the treasury is empty. Why are you still thinking about making money? If Chu State is furious, what will be the consequences of Dayong? If Dayong perishes, what about my Mangdang Mountain? The so-called... I heard that there is Wei People, um, people from the Wei family in the Jin state put furs on their backs when carrying fodder, no, they wore leather jackets inside out, with the fur on the outside and the fur on the inside. The leader of the Wei family was very surprised when he saw it, and asked him why, he said he did it for Take good care of the fur on the skin, for fear that it will be worn out. The master of the Wei family said that if the skin does not survive, the hair will be attached? If the skin is worn out, can the hair be preserved?"

Venerable Dongsun praised: "It makes sense... the master of the Wei family? Which one?"

Wu Sheng rolled his eyes: "I've said it all, it's 'I've heard', it's the truth, which one is important?"

Master Dongsun said: "Understood, this order has to be done even if it doesn't make money!"

Master Dongzhu went to the outer hall to purchase, and Wu Sheng was thinking about how much he could earn this time.

He doesn't plan to make money for Jingning Dan and Dahuang Dan. These two kinds of elixir are too tiring to refine, so like last time, they plan to subcontract them out. For one piece, the price will be greatly increased, 32 qian for Jingning Dan and [-] qian for Dahuang Dan, so as not to lose money, this is [-] gold.

The most profitable project is to do it yourself. The Chu army needs it urgently. Naturally, they don’t know how to test alchemy. Of course, they directly refine the version of black ginseng pills with attenuated effects. After the price of materials increases, the cost of a single piece is about [-] yuan, which is [-] gold.

As for the Dongsun Pill whose name has been changed, it is even cheaper. There is no problem of price increases for materials. A single piece costs [-] yuan, and [-] pieces are only ten gold.

Therefore, only counting the one hundred and fifty gold in hand, at least sixty or seventy gold can be earned, not to mention that there will be [-] gold in the account at the end of the year.

This time I made a lot of money!

I can’t do without earning, now that the family has a big business and a lot of expenses, not counting other things, just the salaries of the two priests and the seven retainers cost 48 gold a year!
By the way, does the old man Dongsun pay on an annual basis, or whenever and wherever he needs it?a little nerve wracking...

While they were doing the reckoning, they suddenly heard Venerable Dongsun's roar from the outer hall: "...if the skin is gone, the hair will be attached, do you understand!"
