Chapter 5 Medicinal Materials
Rushing in front was Princess Jianning, who was dressed in men's makeup, with red lips and white teeth, clear eyebrows, and a thin little eunuch. Behind her was Wei Xiaobao, who was wearing a eunuch's palace uniform.
"Brother, help, someone is chasing me. Jianning ran ahead, shouting as he ran.
"Don't run, stop, give it back to me. ”
Wei Xiaobao chased after him.
Yang Ming saw the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" in Jianning's hand at a glance, and his heart was settled, and he turned his head to Wei Xiaobao and shouted: "Stop, who are you?"
"It's none of your business. Hmph, don't think I'm scared if you have two people, hurry up and return the things to me. Wei Xiaobao rolled up his sleeves, a picture of a street gangster's shouting appearance.
Yang Ming pretended not to know, and said, "Jianning, which of the little eunuch's subordinates is this little eunuch, why did you quarrel with him?"
Princess Jianning hid behind Yang Ming and said coquettishly: "No, I just found out that he was stealing in the queen mother's palace, and then I taught him a lesson." This little eunuch is stupid, he doesn't know you and me at all, and he really fights when he fights, isn't it interesting?"
"Oh, is that so?" Yang Ming said: "Even if this is the case, you can't fight with a little eunuch, and you can't be a leader." ”
Princess Jianning grimaced, didn't pay attention to it, and said, "Don't, the people in the palace are all sullen, and it's not easy to have such an interesting little eunuch." Brother, you help me beat him. ”
Yang Ming said: "Okay, what did he steal?"
Princess Jianning handed him the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" and said, "This is it." I'm so stuffy that I don't know what he stole it for!"
Yang Ming took the scripture in his hand and immediately received a prompt from the system. Then he said: "Okay, it just so happens that I have made a breakthrough in martial arts in the past few days, so I will use him to practice my hands." ”
"Hey, that's mine, give me back the scriptures. Wei Xiaobao shouted.
"If you want, beat me, I'll give you back the book. Yang Ming raised the scriptures in his hand. chuckled.
Wei Xiaobao said: "This is what you want to fight with me, don't say that I bullied you, I am nicknamed Jade-faced Little Feilong by the Jianghu people." Not many people have dared to fight me yet. ”
Yang Ming said: "Don't be a hypocrisy, don't talk nonsense, you beat me and talk about it." ”
"Hey, I'm going to do it......"
As he spoke, he had already made a sneak attack. As soon as he came up, he used the trick of interpolating the eye.
How could Yang Ming be hit by his unpopular tricks. One dodged sideways, then stumbled on his feet, easily tripping him to the ground.
"Not this time, let's do it again. Wei Xiaobao shouted.
"Okay, come again. ”
Yang Ming asked him to stand up, and then put him down in the same way, and said, "Did you take it this time?"
"I didn't eat enough this time, so I'll come back next time. Wei Xiaobao shouted stiffly.
Yang Ming said: "It's the same a few more times." Hey...... Have we seen each other somewhere?"
Wei Xiaobao said: "Many people say this, don't think that I will let you go if you say a soft word." It's almost too late to set me now, sue you, I'll go back to find a helper and you'll know it's wrong. My master's martial arts are world-famous, and a sneeze will also make you bleed from seven holes. ”
There is no way to communicate normally with such people.
Yang Ming said: "Okay, the scriptures are here, and I welcome you to come to find a venue at any time." ”
Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, you wait, I'll come back to you tomorrow." ”
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Princess Jianning said angrily: "Brother, why did you let him go." ”
Yang Ming said: "What if you don't let him go? Jianning, your dignified princess of the Qing Dynasty, do you still have to mess around with a little eunuch." ”
"I see. Princess Jianning said sullenly.
……
The imperial family has a treasury and a private treasury, and the treasury is controlled by four auxiliary ministers, which contains the tax money accumulated by the entire Qing dynasty, which is the treasury of the entire Qing Dynasty. The private treasury is a small private treasury of the royal family, which is mostly some tributes from various places and money earned from the business of the royal family.
Although the whole world is not the king's land, the public and the private still have to be separated.
Yang Ming found the financial manager who managed the private treasury of the imperial family, and said, "How many vintage medicinal materials are there in the imperial treasury?"
"Yes. ”
The chief financial officer thought that the emperor wanted to check the imperial treasury, so he hurriedly asked someone to take a booklet, handed it to him, and said: "This is the imperial treasury account book, please take a look at it." ”
Yang Ming opened the booklet, rolled his eyes casually, frowned more and more he looked at it, and said in a deep voice: "Why are there only these?
"Your Majesty, you have been wronged!" the chief financial officer fell to his knees and shouted: "Your Majesty, this is really not a matter of Weichen, there are really only these medicinal materials in the imperial treasury." ”
Yang Ming said: "I want to see what you have to say." ”
The general financial pipeline: "When Lord Shunzhi was here, there were still some savings in the imperial treasury, but there were few tributes over the years, and I couldn't make ends meet, so I could only sit and eat empty......"
Yang Ming frowned, calmed down and thought about it, but he also understood. In recent years, Ao Bai has the military power in his hands, and the power covers the sky, and most of the annual tribute has to be plundered by him, and few treasures are put into the warehouse, coupled with the food and clothing of the royal family, the people who feed the entire forbidden palace spend a lot of money, and the things in the royal treasury are naturally getting less and less.
"Alright, alright. Yang Ming waved his hand helplessly and said, "Let people send all the medicinal materials in the treasure house that are more than five hundred years old to my palace." ”
The Royal Treasury sounds quite famous, but there are really not many top-grade medicinal materials in the treasure house, there are less than ten thousand-year elixirs, and there are only a hundred medicinal materials that are more than five hundred years old, as for the medicinal materials that are less than five hundred years old, it is needless to mention, much less than he expected.
"Tsk. The treasurer wiped the cold sweat from his head, and a heart fell into his belly.
In the evening, the queen mother's maidservant came and said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother invites you to go to Cining Palace." ”
Yang Ming followed the palace maid to Cining Palace, greeted the Queen Mother, and said, "I don't know why the Queen Mother invited the emperor to come?"
The Queen Mother looked at Yang Ming and said, "Is the emperor's injury good?"
Yang Ming said: "The emperor's injury is no longer in trouble, and the Empress Dowager Lao is worried. ”
The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family heard from the steward in the palace that the emperor took away all the best medicinal materials in the imperial treasury. ”
Yang Ming thought for a moment in his heart and said slowly: "This is indeed the case. The day before yesterday, I was captured by the Assassins, and I realized that I wanted to learn martial arts. It's just that I have missed the best age to practice martial arts, and I can't find time to practice martial arts diligently on weekdays, so I want to use some medicinal materials to improve my internal strength. ”
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "I see, it's just a three-point poison of medicine, although it is a shortcut to use elixir to increase internal strength, but it will accumulate medicine poison in the body, which is not good for the foundation." The way of martial arts is the most taboo to rush for quick success, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve success. ”
"I understand. Yang Mingxin said, that's an ordinary person, but I'm different, even if the accumulation of medicine and poison is unstable and the foundation is unstable, the system can automatically adjust it.
"After all, practicing martial arts can only be the courage of a horseman, I have never thought of being a peerless master, I just want to have some self-protection power when encountering danger. Yang Ming said lightly.
"It's good that the emperor understands. The Queen Mother said. (To be continued......)
