In early June, Ren County had just experienced a group of merchants passing customs, and tax revenue was said to have increased by 20%, which was relatively smooth.
It was not until ten days later that Zheng County Lieutenant came to Yonghe Hall again that Zhang Weidong knew that there was something wrong with the last customs clearance.
After Fengxiao Tower, that night, the residences of the three major merchants were attacked at night, and several spies were later discovered. Fortunately, the three major merchants were surrounded by powerful guards, and Hu Qiying also dispatched many sergeants to quell the situation. The response was timely, and the enemy's plot did not succeed.
However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Weidong.
After going through a bidding process for elixirs, Zhang Weidong initially established contact with three major businessmen. Even Chen Xiong, who was initially angry with him for his unauthorized assertion, turned their hostility into friendship for the sake of gold coins. Because in the afternoon of that day, Zhang Weidong took the initiative to visit them and ordered a few elixirs. The quantity was not small. However, the next elixir was expected to be available in a few months. Cross-border business between Qingguo and Qiguo was not easy. , even though it happens three times a year, the risks are still very high.
Yonghetang on East Street, the front door is deserted, and the smell of tea is fragrant inside.
Early in the morning, Zhang Weidong sat down to read the newly collected medical books, brewed a pot of 'Sanfeng Jinxia' and waited for the patient to come to his door.
But he didn¡¯t expect that, just a moment after he opened the door, Zheng County Lieutenant came to the door with only two detectives.
The two parties sat down, Zhang Weidong poured him a cup of tea, County Lieutenant Zheng took it, smelled it first, and then took a sip. The two detectives were accompanied by Zhao Gongjian, chatting in low voices.
"Three peaks of golden clouds?" Zheng Xianwei said uncertainly.
¡®Sanfeng Jinxia¡¯ itself represents the top quality tea in the Qingguo Jinxia tea area. Not many of it is distributed to any county every year, and most of it comes from trade. The last time Zhang Weidong went to Tianyun Tea House, he bought several kilograms at a time, and indeed bought out all the Tianyun Tea House's one-month supply. There are only two tea houses in Ren County that can produce "Three Peaks and Golden Clouds", and Tianyun Tea House is one of them.
" Such tea costs 2 silver coins for one tael and 20 silver coins for a pound. The only people who can afford it are the upper class people in Ren County. Even a medicine hall. It is generally used to entertain distinguished guests. There are indeed not many people like Zhang Weidong who make several pots of water for themselves every day. This is not drinking tea, it¡¯s just silver coins!
But Zheng County Lieutenant knew that Zhang Weidong had made a fortune from the war horse stolen by Huang Sha. He also made a lot of money and knew it tacitly. The last batch of war horses went to some wealthy families. Each family purchased one or two horses, and dozens of them were quickly sold out.
Zhang Weidong smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Lin of Tianyun Tea House ceded some of it. It tastes pretty good!"
County Lieutenant Zheng glanced at the books on the table and said admiringly: "The tea is good, but for a rough guy like me, it's a waste. Doctor Zhang knows how to taste tea."
¡°I¡¯m just here to drink tea, I¡¯m being too modest.¡±
"Sir, why don't you call me Brother Zheng, Doctor Zhang?" Zheng County Lieutenant pretended to be displeased.
Zhang Weidong smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey orders. I wonder what Brother Zheng has come to Yonghe Hall for?"
"Actually, there is nothing wrong. My wife has been in good health since she drank the medicine prescribed by my wise brother. I wonder if I need further treatment?" Zheng County Lieutenant smacked his lips and said.
Zhang Weidong didn't believe this. Zheng County Lieutenant obviously didn't mean what he said, and he noticed it. However, since the other party didn't tell the truth, he just pretended to be confused.
Zhang Weidong pondered for a while and said: "Let's do this. If it's convenient later, let Madam-in-law come to Yonghe Hall and I will make another diagnosis. Although the last course of medicine can basically get rid of the root cause of the disease, long-term illness will damage the body. I can prescribe some health-preserving medicine, and the effect will be good."
Cure diseases, maintain health, beautify, maintain health, procreate, etc. If he wants to establish a relationship with Zheng County Lieutenant, Zhang Weidong can find a lot of problems for the County Lieutenant's wife and Zheng County Lieutenant.
County Lieutenant Zheng suddenly said happily: "Thank you so much, dear brother!"
County Lieutenant Zheng stayed in Yonghe Hall for half an hour and drank two pots of tea before leaving. It seemed as if Lieutenant Zheng was really just passing by and came in to sit down.
Zhang Weidong sent him to the door and looked at the weather. It was rather gloomy, with thick black clouds, and it seemed like it was going to rain. There was no rain in May in Ren County, and now it is mid-June. The weather is extremely dry and dusty. Many times, you have to wear a mask when going out.
Zhao Gongjian was very happy to put away the tea sets quickly. The tea leaves were weak and needed to be replaced and the tea sets needed to be cleaned. My master is valued by the county captain and even visits him personally. As a servant, he feels very dignified.
"Sir, it seems that the county captain's wife's illness has been cured, and Yonghetang is really going to become famous. I just don't know how Yuan Li's illness is doing. If it is cured, I believe there will be no less people coming to see the doctor!"
Zhang Weidong stood at the door and said with a smile: "I hope so."
?Strictly speaking, apart from a large number of disabled sergeants, the only patients treated by 'Yonghetang' were the county captain's wife and member Li. If these two people really recover, they can indeed bring real customers to Yonghetang. All the previous advertisements only made 'Yonghetang' famous in Ren County and made many people get to know it initially, but it did not help much with the business.
However, he has not been so idle in the past half month. He also designed a medicine cauldron and delivered it to a blacksmith shop to build, and the other party is currently working on it. It is estimated that the two medicine cauldrons can be built in a month. However, the materials are precious and difficult to make, so the cost is not low. Two pieces cost 1 gold coin.
Build two medicine cauldrons, mainly for refining medicine, and have a spare one in case of emergency.
Currently, there are 11 elixirs collected, including 5 century-old yellow ginseng, 2 violet grass, 3 elm fungus ganoderma, 1 dongcao wolfberry, and many precious auxiliary medicines and common medicinal materials. It can be said that they are compatible. A prescription has all the ingredients, all it needs is the cauldron.
The medicine Zhang Weidong wants to refine is called 'Dragon and Phoenix Body Refining Ointment'. After being refined, it will melt when exposed to water and can be used for medicinal baths. Its configuration is complex, including 1 century-old yellow ginseng, 1 purple rhizome, 1 elm ear ganoderma, 1 dongcao wolfberry, and hundreds of medicinal herbs for precise assistance.
According to Zhang Weidong's estimation, the effects of so many elixirs and auxiliary medicines after refining are not ordinary.
A pair of 'Dragon and Phoenix Body Refining Cream' medicinal materials, through his hands, may be enough for 7 people to soak. A single medicinal bath is enough for an ordinary person to have the physique of a third-rate warrior within a month. If fifth-grade snow lotus seeds can be added, the efficacy of the medicine can be improved by one level. A pair of ointments can directly give people the physique of a second-rate warrior. It's a pity that the fifth-grade snow lotus seeds are in the hands of General Hu Qiying. He mentioned that he can refine the medicine, but now he doesn't take the initiative to come to his door.
"It's a pity that Ren County is not a place where we can stay for a long time after all. The training for everyone must start as soon as possible!"
"It seems. Yamen police officer is a good place to go."
¡°It¡¯s good to have temporary worker status!¡±
Zhang Weidong felt that he could not just sit and wait. The more he thought about it, the more he thought that Zhao Erbao and others should be arranged to join the Yamen as temporary agents and take turns to gain experience. It is very beneficial to their growth. In the final analysis, no matter how powerful Zhao Erbao and others are, they have only just left their status as tenant farmers, and their social experience is much worse.
Being a yamen catcher is a good status, dealing with all kinds of religions. Just right to train them.
This time Lieutenant Zheng came to visit, probably to show his kindness or to ask for something from him. We just want to make an exchange, and I am sure Zheng County Lieutenant will not refuse!
"Master, it's raining!" Zhao Gongjian shouted excitedly, pulling Zhang Weidong back from his thoughts.
Zhang Weidong looked outside through the bamboo curtain. The street was crackling with random thoughts, chickens and dogs were jumping, many people exclaimed with joy, and the ground soon became chaotic.
A heavy rain in mid-June. It made everyone feel cool and hopeful. In the second half of the year, another business trip passed the customs.
Zhang Weidong also participated.
"It's a pity that there was no big trader this time, and no magic medicine was harvested. It seems that big merchants are not available every time you clear the level. It seemed that collecting elixirs could only be done slowly, so he spent more money to buy and reserve elixirs. The more elixirs, the better. Zhang Weidong also met more businessmen.
At the same time, the business of Yonghetang is gradually improving. The old problems of the county captain's wife were completely eradicated. I had another follow-up visit, took new medicine, and my health began to improve. Then, Mr. Li came to the door with a cart full of gifts to express his gratitude. It was done in a very high-profile manner, and the value of silks, medicinal materials, charcoal, and jewelry exceeded the cost of medical treatment. With this advertising effect, someone finally came to see a doctor.
Sometimes, reputation is built inadvertently. With the first one, the second and third will not be far away. Basically every two or three days. A patient came to our door with a variety of symptoms, and many concepts such as beauty, health care, and health care were inadvertently spread, expanding business channels. Therefore, the reputation of ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ has really spread among the upper levels.
This naturally made the other seven medicine halls hate him, but it was useless. In desperation, the seven major medicine halls gradually united to suppress the 'Yonghe Hall'. This had some effect, but not much. Several conspiracies against the 'Yonghetang' were resolved and almost led to the arrest of the police.
In October, Zhang Weidong finally taught "Basic Spear Skills" to Zhao Erbao and several other gunners. Basically, in ten months, Zhang Weidong taught all the basic things and everyone learned everything. And these basic kung fu, such as Hunyuan Zhuang Kung, breathing and breathing, big spear Zhuang, small demon-subduing boxing, lance rifle, spearmanship, horse fighting, light body technique, etc., are enough for them to practice for a lifetime. Among them, only Xu Qing and Zhao Lanlan learned swordsmanship. The two women got on the horse and got off the ground, and Yanran became a heroine.
Aunt Zhao¡¯s eyesight has completely recovered, and she is also in favor of the second girl studyingWu Bianshen was very open-minded. Only Mrs. Zhao sighed every time. How could her daughter get married in the future if she doesn't like red makeup and weapons?
In November, the first batch of 'Dragon and Phoenix Body Refining Cream' was finally made and divided into seven portions for Xu Qing, Zhao Lanlan, Zhao Erbao, Zhao Tiedan, Zhao Gongjian, Zhao Falcon and Zhao Houndou to try out the medicated bath. As a result, the effect is surprisingly good. With the help of the medicinal bath, during this month, everyone practiced harder and harder, absorbing the power of the medicine as much as possible, enhancing Qi and blood, and stimulating their potential. By the end of the month, the seven of them had the physique of a third-rate warrior, with endless strength and light body. Yan, the spear and the sword are like a rainbow, this is amazing.
And all these changes were completed in a small village courtyard. So much so that Aunt Zhao and Mrs. Zhao became jealous and privately asked Xu Qing and Zhao Lanlan for advice, practicing secretly. The two women were puzzled and asked Zhang Weidong for advice from time to time. Zhang Weidong turned a blind eye and let them teach him. The stronger the people around you, the better. As long as these exercises are not spread to others, the most important thing is medicinal bathing.
In addition, Goudan and his adopted sons Zhang Long, Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao, as well as his adopted daughters Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lan, Zhang Weidong also plans to teach them Zhanzhuang and Tuna. The six of them are over 8 years old. After more than half a year of training, they have returned to normal. They have grown rapidly and can withstand a certain amount of basic skills training.
Only Xiao Yueyue and Zhang Hui, who is one year older than him, are still young and will have to be trained in a few years.
At the end of that month, Zhang Weidong, through Zheng County Lieutenant's relationship, asked Zhao Erbao, Zhao Tiedan, and Zhao Falcon to put on the clothes of the police, get their sabers, and start working in the Yamen. Zhang Weidong also has a plan for the remaining people to turn around and enter the yamen for training.
At the beginning, many people were not optimistic about the three of them. They were immature, uncoordinated, and repulsive. However, half a month later, during a fight to arrest a group of gangsters, the three of them showed strong force and captured several big thieves. First, he killed more than a dozen enemies, and the three spears were invincible, conquering the police officers and Zheng County Lieutenant in one fell swoop. It suddenly dawned on them that these three people were so powerful!
After that, the detectives straightened up their backs. Even though they had many conflicts with the disciples of the Tiger Martial Arts School and the Storm Martial Arts School, the detectives did not fall behind and basically came back victorious. On the contrary, the disciples from the two major martial arts schools avoided the police officers when they saw them. Therefore, many police officers put down their bodies and asked the three people for advice, and they also benefited a lot.
So much so that Zheng County Lieutenant, who loved martial arts so much, was not ashamed to ask for advice on the martial arts of the three men.
In the end, Zheng County Lieutenant came to the door and asked Zhang Weidong how the three of them became stronger, but Zhang Weidong ignored them.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Practice hard!
Still practicing hard!
Years of hard training!
Then, combine it with some medicinal baths that require long-term soaking!
When County Lieutenant Zheng heard this, he was dubious, but he had no better explanation. For this reason, he also spent a lot of money to buy medicinal materials for medicinal baths from Zhang Weidong. After soaking for a month continuously, his physical fitness has really improved a lot, which surprised him. Although there is no transformation like Zhao Erbao and others, the effect is stronger than that of him practicing martial arts for half a year.
Now, Zheng County Lieutenant believed it.
In December, the weather suddenly turned cold.
Shopkeeper Lin of Tianyun Teahouse finally received good news. Zhang Weidong had news about Qin¡¯s ¡®Wuyun Tea¡¯ that he had been waiting for for a long time. This tea is extraordinary, far better than the 'Three Peaks Jinxia'. The difference is that the tea contains several times the vitality. Even if it is not as good as the inferior Yuan tea, which is the worst in the world of immortality, it is still very precious and unique on this planet. .
If you drink it for five or six years, Zhang Weidong's recovery time can be shortened by one year. This is very rare!
Zhang Weidong went to South Street impatiently, but was a little disappointed.
Shopkeeper Lin did get some "Wuyun Tea", and it was very difficult. There were only 3 taels. This amount was only enough for Zhang Weidong to drink for half a month. It was of no use, but it was better than nothing. However, its price is not low. 3 taels of 'Wuyun Tea' cost Zhang Weidong 1 gold coin and 20 silver coins, and the average price of 1 tael was 40 silver coins!
Seeing Zhang Weidong's disappointed look, shopkeeper Lin was also troubled: "If you want to buy more of this tea, you may have to try your luck in Qin. But it's too far, thousands of miles away, and you have to cross the border. Enter the State of Qi, and then enter the State of Qin. The State of Qin borders Qi State and the Liu Xiang Dynasty on three sides!" (~^~)
PS: During the double monthly pass period, is anyone cheating on their tickets? Thanks!
