Yipin Danxian

Chapter 200
I have to admit that Master Dongsun is still a very qualified buyer. Not only is he broad-minded and open-minded, he has a rich supply of goods and many suppliers, and he is good at bargaining. The price has been lowered by [-]%.

Even Wu Sheng was a little worried, and advised Master Dongsun to lift it up a little bit, and not to press it too hard—the cheapness of the valley hurts the farmers.

Within two days, the three alchemists in the middle school received their shares. Three days later, Mo You and Yue Zhong also received orders in their own countries. Five days later, a box of spiritual materials was sent to Yongrentang .

Anyway, everyone in Shangyong knew that Yongrentang was making alchemy for the country, neighbors in the neighborhood spontaneously stopped seeking medical treatment, and endured minor injuries and illnesses by themselves, for fear of disturbing alchemist Shen.

In particular, Jia Chang Xunzhong organized hidden sentry posts everywhere. Except for those who went out to work, every household, old and young, women and children who stayed at home, were ordered to prevent thieves from thinking about the mountains of spiritual materials in Yongrentang. The entire Beifang seems to be peaceful, but in fact it is very closely inspected. Whenever an outsider strolls in front of the door, dozens of pairs of eyes will immediately stare at it—staring from the crack of the door.

Wu Sheng sat firmly in the Yongrentang, and once again started the centralized and assault alchemy mode.

Just when Wu Sheng was refining the elixir, Yangzhou Zuotu Mansion issued a new edict, requiring Yongguo to recruit [-] men to serve in front of the Jiuzi army.

Yangzhou's edict was not only aimed at the Yong Kingdom, but also included the three kingdoms of Yu, Kui, and Yu. A total of 1000 people were recruited, and the four kingdoms immediately complained.

According to the agreement of last year's Pu-Tai League, the Yong Kingdom will undertake the elixirs, spiritual materials and rice, the Yu Kingdom will undertake the magical weapons and weapons, the Kui Kingdom will undertake the spirit wine and silk, and the Mun Kingdom will undertake the animal skins. The covenant is valid for three years.

Therefore, the three kingdoms of Yu, Kui, and Yu have all been mobilized and are busy completing the task of advance payment of Mao Gong for next year.Among them, casting copper and iron, brewing spiritual wine, weaving silk, and tanning animal skins all require manpower. After Yongguo prepaid next year's tribute rice, he had to plan ahead and open up wasteland first. Even the land in the mountains has been turned into fields.

The Four Kingdoms are a small country with few people, and the labor force suddenly becomes tense. Even the savages have been assigned a lot of tasks, so where is there any manpower before the army?

The monarch summoned Sima Yuan Zirang, Sikong Yipu, Situ Zhonggu and other important officials and confidantes to discuss: "Now Yangzhou has issued an edict to recruit people's power. Dayong is a small country with few people. How can it afford such a heavy burden? I worry about it all day and night. Thinking, can't eat, and is at a loss, and I ask all the ministers to relieve the widow's worries."

As a vassal of a powerful country, this is not the case. Qingyu can only confide these grievances and troubles to his important ministers and confidants, and he dare not complain too much.

The collection of state fees is also equivalent to collection from the doctors, and the doctors have to bear most of it, so everyone is not happy about it.

Seeing the sad faces of all the ministers, Qing Yu called the names: "Mr. Guo, tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"

It is the responsibility of mediocrity to smoke pennies, but now that the people of the country are not idle, where can they go to smoke pennies?Even if he could draw it out, he didn't want to. Every Chinese is Dayong's precious wealth, how can he be sent to the army to serve easily?

"The battle between Chu and Wu, was it so terribly fought? Did you want me to be a vassal? When will Chu be unable to defeat Wu?" Yong Zifu complained, but complaining was useless, and he had to find a way .

Looking around at the doctors, Yong Zifu found that Wu Sheng had not been invited to discuss, and he also knew that Wu Sheng was working hard to make alchemy, otherwise Wu Sheng would be indispensable for such an occasion, but since the master is not here, he can only boldly propose Li: "There are still a hundred households in Mount Mangdang..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sima Yuanzi: "No way, this is Dr. Shen's fief retainer, how can he be transferred at will? Besides, Mangdang Mountain can't make up four hundred men!"

Qing Yu also said: "If you want Shen Qing to give birth, all the ministers must give birth."

The proposal was dismissed, and Yong Zifu had no choice but to make another one: "Where are the savages? Take some from the savages."

Situ Zhonggu objected: "Where are there savages? They have all gone to farm. If you want to take away 400 people, wait for a famine next year!"

Yong Zifu took advantage of the situation and put down the pick: "I can't do it either on the left or on the right, what can I do?" You can figure it out, I have no choice!

Sikong Yi Pu was originally a captain of the temple, and suddenly he had an idea: "At the beginning of the year, there were more than [-] prisoners in the prison of the court temple. When the young masters rebelled in pairs, there were hundreds of prisoners in the prison. How many are there now?"

Immediately, the eyes of all the doctors brightened, and it was just what they deserved to use prisoners as soldiers!
Yong Ji, who took over, was a little hesitant: "There are three hundred and twelve people. But more than half of them are not guilty of death..." I am afraid that one-third of the "old men" who were taken away by the vassal state before going to the Jiuzi army It's hard to come back alive.

Yi Pu said: "At this critical time, we should impose a severe punishment, and then tell them that as long as they come back, their previous crimes will be forgiven."

Yong Ji said: "There are twenty or thirty women..."

Yi Pu said: "Most of the people who can enter the prison are healthy women. When we go to war in Dayong, healthy women are strong men, and they have to go to battle."

Yong Ji said: "The number is not enough, it's still much worse."

Sima Yuanzi Rang immediately said: "That's enough! The Yangzhou decree did not say that there were [-] people who arrived in Jiuzi. I guess the person in the Cao decree has no experience in leading the army. After traveling thousands of miles, people who got separated on the way and died of illness I don’t know how many people there are, but it’s reasonable to send four hundred to more than three hundred people, but if it’s really not possible, I’ll personally escort them and add them along the way!”

The doctors discussed it and made a decision, and Qingyu agreed with a sigh: "Sima must treat them well, and strive to send them safely to the front of the army. I hope they will return safely as soon as possible."

At that moment, Yuan Sima dispatched disciples, led by Dao Baifeng, and led [-] disciples to set off.The prison doors of the court temple were opened one after another, and the ragged prisoners were sent out, put on a four-horned ox cart, and headed north.

The wheels were rolling, and after leaving the border of Yongguo, they drove eastward along the southern foot of Huyi Mountain. At first, the cart was crying and fighting for the land. After walking for two days, the prisoners couldn't cry anymore, and sat in the cart one by one. On the road, staring blankly at the scenery on the side of the road.

For other prisoners, this is a dead end, but in the eyes of the thieves mountain wolf, it is a life.Ever since he injured himself last year, the investigation of Yongrentang revealed his possessions and was seized by the court. He has been locked in a cell.It stands to reason that after a hard meal and severe reprimands, he, who attempted to commit crimes but failed, should be released within two months.However, he made up his mind on Yong Ren Tang, and as Yong Ren Tang's reputation became more and more popular, his chances of getting out became more and more slim.

The temple official in custody had said many times that unless Alchemist Shen or Shopkeeper Dong spoke, he would never want to go out for the rest of his life, but he guessed that Master Shen or Shopkeeper Dong had forgotten about him long ago, so how could he speak?

Therefore, he "applied" very obediently and got into the car, waiting for the opportunity all the way.

The convoy traveled for seven days, and six of the prisoners died of illness. When they came to a small place called Meicun, Yuan Sima, who was escorting the car, ordered to set up camp nearby, and began to select strong men at night to issue weapons.

Mountain Wolf knew that the opportunity had come.

I am familiar with Meicun, I am a bandit in the neighborhood!
