Legend of the Knight

Chapter 99 The Gap of Being a Leader
"Why don't you tell everyone." Gong Guangjie sat on the chair, crossed his legs and said to everyone: "Our Shennong Baicao Sect has made great achievements in supplying medicine last year, and the rewards will come soon.

In a few days, I will be the official of the imperial court.

Qipin! "

When Gong Guangjie said this, everyone took a deep breath.

Then, the loud applause broke the roof.

This is an era that pays attention to one person's attainment of Taoism and ascension to heaven. To put it in a nice way, it is called "the virtuous do not avoid relatives".

Gong Guangjie has become an official of the imperial court, so Shennong Baicaomen will follow him to heaven.

Gong Guangjie turned his head to the well-informed Vice Sect Master Wang and asked, "Hey, old Wang. How big is the seventh-rank military officer?"

"Seventh Grade." Lao Wang rolled his eyes, looked at the roof and thought for a while, and then said to Gong Guangjie, "It should be the boss."

The total is also called the general flag.

In the official position setting of the military officer in this dynasty, the general banner is the lowest official in the imperial court. Under the general banner, there are five small banners.

This small flag can be appointed or dismissed by the general flag itself, because the military salary of the small flag is deducted from the military salary of the general flag (there are many kinds of military salary systems in the Ming Dynasty, which are too messy, and this is an example of a certain version).

Gong Guangjie became the general manager, and this small flag must be given to the people of Shennong Baicaomen, so everyone's thoughts were lifted immediately.

Xiaoqi’s nominal salary is one stone and two buckets (about 120 catties) a month, but most people only get about half of it, and most of them are millet or brown rice.

This amount of food is naturally no problem to feed a person, but it is absolutely not enough to support a family.

However, although Xiaoqi is not an orderly official and cannot give his children the official status of "children of eunuchs", he is still an official of the court anyway.

Don't say too much, if you see someone who is not pleasing to the eye, just give him a fist (punch), does the other party dare to hit back?
How dare you kill officials and rebel! ?
Not to mention that a military officer can walk on the street with a knife, which is completely different from ordinary people carrying a knife on the street, and it definitely needs to be more energetic (prestige).

Therefore, when Gong Guangjie said this, everyone immediately became excited.

There are as many as five Xiaoqi, but there are only three sect masters of Shennong Baicao Sect, including Huang Xiaoshi, the second sect master, there will be only one Xiaoqi left.

This time, not only the three deputy sect masters were not calm anymore, but the eight hall masters all stretched their necks and puffed up their chests: Now the imperial court is at the time of employing people, and it is their duty to be loyal to the imperial court. thing.

Seeing everyone like this, Gong Guangjie nodded in satisfaction, everyone is still very good.

Afterwards, Gong Guangjie said to the crowd: "Actually, I came up with a solution on the way back just now. Let me tell you about it. Everyone, please listen."

Gong Guangjie put down his legs and said to everyone: "Everyone knows where these medicines are delivered. If we directly set up workshops to produce medicines in the places where the goods are ordered, we can save time on transportation.

In this way, it is a safe and secure thing to make [-] pieces of goods before summer. "

When Gong Guangjie said this, Vice Sect Master Wang frowned, and he said, "Sect Master, what do you mean?"

"That's what it means." Gong Guangjie's eyes flashed, and he said to everyone: "We must take down the medicine mountain in Yunling."

……

Yunling has a warm climate. Herbs grow all year round in this place, and there are many kinds of herbs.

If a production workshop can be established there, it will not only solve the problem of raw materials, but also solve the problem of transportation on the difficult road to Shu.

"Sect Master, are you going to prepare a piece (cut) of the tortoise's son, the Dulong Cult?" At this time, Deputy Sect Master Zhang, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up.

For so many years, deputy sect master Zhang has only cared about one thing, that is, internal training and external fighting.

This work was originally done by Huang Xiaoshi. After Huang Xiaoshi left, Gong Guangjie handed over the thugs team of Shennong Baicaomen to Zhang Fumen.

This deputy sect master is not an ordinary farmer. He came here with his art. Although he is not well-known in the Jianghu, he is almost at the same level as Duan Heihu of the Black Tiger Hall.

In fact, in the mixed world, there are too many people who are not at the same level. This is the extremely large grassroots class of the Central Plains martial arts.

Deputy Sect Master Zhang was reused by Gong Guangjie, which directly played the effect of buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars. Many small sects who were so messed up that they could hardly afford to eat directly took their own door plaques and brought the whole family to Shennong Baicao Sect. up.

Shennong Baicaomen is in a period of rapid expansion. As long as you are loyal and willing to fight and kill, the money will come.

As a result, the thug team of Shennong Baicaomen has reached the scale and level of local group training. Now, out of the eight hall masters, four have such backgrounds.

Don't underestimate the local regiment training. The Hunan Army that wiped out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the local regiment training.

At this time, if Heifengzhai was still there, they would have robbed and killed the goods of Shennong Baicaomen without knowing what to do. Without Huang Xiaoshi's action, the thugs could have leveled Heifengzhai.

Not to mention, Gong Guangjie will soon be a seventh-rank military officer of the imperial court, and these people can become real officers and soldiers in an instant.

With the support of Shennong Baicaomen, the tentacles will naturally expand towards the outside world.

Last year, Shennong Baicaomen expanded to the south, and then it was on the top of the fire in the land of southern Sichuan and the tribes there.

At the beginning, everyone was quite aggressive, but after a few appointments, neither side got much benefit, so after they got angry enough, they sat down and had a talk.

The content of the talk is mainly to delineate their respective hills, which ones are yours, and which ones are mine.

Shennong Baicaomen seized several mountains by force, but refused to spit them out after being beaten to death, so they paid a sum of money, which is equivalent to buying them.

Although these tribes were unwilling in every possible way, they couldn't defeat Shennong Baicaomen after all, so they accepted a large amount of compensation with their noses held.

One party got the mountain, and the other got a large sum of money, both of which were regarded as a certain amount of compensation, so the dispute between Shennong Baicaomen and the tribes in southern Sichuan stopped.

Now, only a few mountains can't meet the needs of Shennong Baicaomen, and a second southward expansion must be carried out to eat the entire Yunling.

Gong Guangjie has already calculated that it will take about two or three months for the goods to be shipped from Chengdu in central Sichuan to Annan.

Because in the land of Annan, as the temperature rises in summer, epidemics will spread everywhere, so the imperial army needs [-] pieces of various antidote elixir in the spring.

When the elixir is delivered to Annan, it will be just in time for Xia Tian.

However, if the elixir is produced in Yunling, Yunling is much closer to Annan, and the waterway is convenient and has a large cargo capacity.

In this way, Shennong Baicaomen not only increased the time for pharmaceutical preparations, but also greatly reduced transportation costs.

Originally doing business for the imperial court was actually a matter of earning recognition at a low price.

But if you do it like this, it's really a big deal.

After all, the imperial court is a long-term demand for a large number of goods, and this business can be done for many years.

Besides, if the Southern Expedition is over, Yunling's workshop can continue to produce pills and sell them locally after the supply to the imperial army is finished.

Although most of the people in Yunling are extremely poor and their spending power is not very high, the medicines of Shennong Baicaomen are not expensive to sell, and the curative effect is not bad, and they can make money wherever they are thrown.

In this way, it is equivalent to Shennong Baicaomen gaining a large mountain of medicines and a huge newly developed market for nothing.

As soon as Gong Guangjie came up with this idea, everyone said it was a good idea.

However, if Shennong Baicaomen wants to expand southward, the most troublesome thing is the poisonous dragon sect.

The Poisonous Dragon Sect is a rather peculiar sect entrenched in Yunling.

It is rather peculiar because it is half witch and half doctor.

Of course, being half-witch and half-doctor is not unusual, what is unique is the part of the Dragon Cult of traditional Chinese medicine.

The Dulong Sect is good at fighting poison with poison and curing diseases with poison.

This may have something to do with the local environment. After all, Yunling is a place of fierce poison. Snakes, insects, rats and ants, but every living thing is afraid of being poisoned.

Poisons are everywhere, and antidotes are so hard to find, people always have to figure out some way to survive.

Therefore, the Poisonous Dragon Sect came up with many strange and weird treatment methods. Although these methods may not be able to save people from life, under the blessing of witchcraft, they have won many people's hearts.

Therefore, although the poisonous dragon sect is not big, its influence is very large, and the entire Yunling tribe is affected by it.

Not to mention that Dulong taught himself to occupy some of the best medicine mountains.

Gong Guangjie said to the crowd: "This time, we have to give courtesy first and then fight. Everyone has to figure out how to arrange it."

After Gong Guangjie won the general direction, everyone started talking about it.

Although these are all rough people, they are also the outstanding ones who have been killed from thousands of grassroots. To a certain extent, these talents are really the most capable elites. In terms of actual operation, they are not It must be worse than someone who is full of strategy.

This is the cruelest screening of survivors. The geniuses may not be able to pass the screening, but those who can pass the screening must be dragons among men.

This is called: A fierce general must rise from the army.

With this meeting of Shennong Baicaomen, a major martial arts event that is not widely known by the Central Plains martial arts people, and who knows it and doesn't care about it, kicked off.

According to Bai Xiaosheng's records, this is the second large-scale martial arts fight since the Six Great Factions besieged Tianlong Sect.

Both sides of the fight dispatched thousands of people each, and carried out a tug-of-war in the dense forest for several months, and finally reached the point of besieging the city.

This battle even affected the court's strategy for the southern expedition.

At this time, Huang Xiaoshi, who had just arrived in Luoyang, had no idea that Gong Guangjie played a big game in the south, which was much bigger than what he could foresee.

After this battle, Huang Xiaoshi finally understood what kind of scale Shennong Baicaomen is now.

Shennong Baicaomen is indeed an armed pharmaceutical company, and the East India Company is nothing more than an armed business group.

After a brainstorm, Gong Guangjie said viciously to the crowd: "To deal with the Poisonous Dragon Sect this time, we must cut off the feet first, then the hearts, and finally the heads!"

After the plan was finalized, the three deputy sect masters and their hall masters started working separately.

Vice-head Li, who is in charge of production, plans to quickly select and transfer a group of people. These people will be paid five years to work in Yunling for three years. After three years, they will withdraw or stay voluntarily.

Vice-head Wang, who was in charge of sales and logistics, set off with a huge caravan a few days later, all of which were filled with the best-selling pills of Shennong Baicaomen.

These pills are not for sale, but for gift giving.Wang Fumen mainly carried out money offensives against various tribes in Yunling, buying them one by one, dismantling the control ability of the Dulong Cult.

Secondly, Vice Sect Master Wang has another important task, which is to persuade the poisonous dragon sect to surrender.Of course, this task can only be called the first ceremony and the second soldier. Everyone just thought it could be done, but they never thought it would be successful.

In the end, Deputy Sect Master Zhang stepped up to organize and train the thugs team who were about to go to Yunling to fight. This time is a great opportunity to really make a difference.

At this critical moment, Lan Ting, the leader of the Poisonous Dragon Sect, was abandoning her own internal affairs, and went deep into the Central Plains again and again, and it took several months to come back.

Lan Ting is extremely depressed now, because two extremely important things have been lost in the Dragon Cult.

One is the "Book of Five Poisons" by the Poison Dragon Sect, and the other is [Five-Colored Poison Gu].

The "Book of Five Poisons" not only records the methods of cultivating poisonous insects, collecting venom, and making toxins, but also records the secret method of internal energy of the Five Poisons Sect [Five Poisons Magical Art].

Such an important thing was actually stolen.

And [Five-Colored Poison Gu] is even more terrible, this is an important poison Gu to cultivate [Golden Silkworm Gu King], it was used by the Five Poison Sect for several years, fighting each other with countless poisons, and finally got the Five-colored species.

As long as this colorful worm is raised, you can get [Golden Silkworm Gu King].

[Golden Silkworm Gu King] is an extremely miraculous poisonous insect. It is non-toxic, and likes to eat poison, and can eat all kinds of poison.As long as a person is poisoned, [Golden Silkworm Gu King] can suck up the poison and eat it up.

On the other hand, because [Golden Silkworm Gu King] likes to eat a hundred poisons, after it dies, it will be dried and ground into powder. This poison is the most poisonous in the world.

Because it is a collection of all kinds of poisons in the world, and no one can say for sure how these poisons are mixed in [Golden Silkworm Gu King]'s body.

There is no cure for this mixed poison.

And such an artifact was actually stolen.

Lan Ting was going to be very upset, as long as she caught the thief, she would definitely strip him naked and tie him up on the ant hill, so that the thief could experience the pain of being devoured by thousands of insects.

Now, these two town religion artifacts have been stolen, and the Presbyterian Council has already questioned Lan Ting's ability. Lan Ting must be getting more and more unfavorable.

Last time, Lan Ting found Hangzhou along the road, this time she planned to change direction and go to Luoyang to try her luck.

Before Lan Ting set off, she was stopped by her cousin Huang Juan.

"Sister, don't keep running outside." Huang Juan tried hard to persuade Lan Ting, "The "Book of Five Poisons" is lost, so let's ask another gentleman to write it out. We will write it out for this book. I have memorized it by heart from childhood to adulthood, and I can't remember it wrong at all, and I can't miss a single word.

【Golden Silkworm Gu King】It's gone, we just need to raise it, it's just a few more years.

Do you know that the Han people in the Central Plains and the tribes in the east are fighting very hard now, maybe one day they will hit us, and everyone is very scared now.

You are the leader and the patriarch, so you should stand up and make an idea at this time.

Regardless of whether the tribes from the east escaped or the Han army came to kill them, you have to say something about what we are going to do to them. "

Huang Juan is the second leader of the Dulong Sect and the right protector.

Lan Ting's surname is not Lan, and Huang Juan's surname is not Huang.

In the Miao village where the Dulong Sect is located, they believe in the five poisons and worship the five-colored god.

Five colors are blue, yellow, red, white and black.

Therefore, the elder family in the Five Poison Sect took Five Colors as their name.

Therefore, Lan Ting's blue is from the color "green", and Huang Juan's yellow is the color "yellow".

Similarly, there are "red", "white", and "black" three-color surnames.

All the children of the elder family are given five-color surnames when they grow up to 12 years old, rather than a certain family controlling a certain color.

The most obvious benefit of this nomenclature is that you can tell the ages of two people of the same age just by looking at the names. For example, Huang Juan is younger than Lan Ting.

Faced with Huang Juan's persuasion, Lan Ting finally let out a long sigh and gave up going out.

In fact, Lan Ting also knows that if these two things are lost, they will never be found again. Doing this by herself is just to calm her heart.

As for the war between the Han people and Annan's ministries.

After Lan Ting thought for a long time, she said to Huang Juan, "We will not help either side."

When Huang Juan heard this, she was dumbfounded.

When the troubles were not serious before, the two sides would not help each other to save yourself less damage, but now that it is at this point, if both sides do not help, isn't that just asking both sides to beat you together?

"Sister, sister, listen to me." After Huang Juan came to her senses, she chased after Lan Ting.
