The plan for the printing of books is quite full, and the "Book of Tea" is followed by "Elementary Arithmetic". With the introduction of Arabic numerals, it is easier to calculate and faster to learn.

"Xu Cheng-" Wen Ren cautiously reported: "The available funds of the big surplus treasury are not much, is it to cut the unimportant work?" ”

It is the stage of laying the foundation and gradually rolling it out, and the initial investment in building workshops, building dormitories, etc., must be very large, Xu Qilin naturally knows. However, it is obviously too late to wait for the benefits to be seen before continuing to invest more.

"This official has reported to His Majesty that an additional 20,000 yuan will be invested in the big surplus treasury." Xu Qilin smiled and said casually: "There should be a reply soon, and there will be no shortage of money at that time." ”

After a pause, Xu Qilin said again: "Even if Your Majesty hesitates to approve it for the time being, wait until the white sugar is made and then present to Your Majesty, there will be no problem with additional investment." ”

Wen Ren bowed and said yes, anyway, he had fulfilled his obligation to remind, and when he really had no money, he couldn't complain about him.

Moreover, His Majesty Li Er has already assigned the shops outside Jinguang Gate and Chunli Gate to the operation of Dayingku. There are more than 100 of them, and renting them out is a lot of money.

If it weren't for too much and too much paving, the big surplus would have been profitable by now. It's just that Xu Qilin is obviously not so short-sighted, and behind making money, he still has a plan that others don't know.

Moreover, although His Majesty Li Er had plans to enrich the inner government, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, the current treasury is also his Li family, and he can spend it as he pleases.

"My brother is really busy." Yu Chihuan finally found a free time and followed Xu Qilin to the office.

Xu Qilin said with a smile: "It's also a while, my brother came unfortunate today, but he was sluggish." ”

Yu Chihuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My brother is capable, and he can't compare to us useless people." ”

Xu Qilin said a few words humbly, and asked a little humbly: "Brother came here today, didn't he come to play?" ”

Wei Chihuan explained his intentions, which made Xu Qilin hesitate a little. Isn't it the old door god who is surprised and wants to teach himself a lesson?

Yu Chihuan didn't know Xu Qilin's thoughts, and said to himself: "My father didn't know which Taoist priest he had listened to, and he believed in alchemy and taking medicine. When he heard that his brother's master was a master of the Tao, he thought about what method he had and asked his brother to go and ask him. ”

Xu Qilin blinked his eyes, and said in his heart: This is another death, sashimi discourages Lao Tzu, what kind of pill do you get? Mercury, arsenic, and other heavy metals, is this a slow death?

is scratching his head here, but Yu Chihuan is persistent in expectation, and Xu Qilin can't think about it.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, with the improvement of the status of Taoism, the practice of alchemy and taking medicine became popular. However, the disadvantages of taking pills are also becoming more and more prominent, and there are more people who eat death, and the voices questioning and opposing taking pills are naturally growing.

"This-" Xu Qilin scratched his head again and asked, "I don't know what kind of pill Eguo Gong is taking, but do you think it is effective?" ”

Yu Chihuan said: "My father takes Baiyun Ying powder every morning, this is a secret recipe given by an immortal chief. ”

Xu Qilin pretended to hold his forehead and think, summoning his soul. What Bai Yunying, Lao Tzu doesn't know what Mi Dongdong is, let's find a famous doctor and ask!

Dolomite is muscovite, a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, slightly toxic. In later generations, it was famous for its industrial materials, which were widely used in coatings, paints, electrical insulation and other industries.

The physique of the old door god is really great, eat this industrial material every day, and still live to seventy-four, admire, awesome!

Xu Qilin was very distressed, how could he explain to the old door god so that he could understand and listen?

If you say it's poisonous and it's not good for your health, people will believe it?

Even the Taoist classic "Xuan Jielu" says: "Igniting chemical medicines mostly use alum stones, elimination, etc., and form poisons together." When the gold sand enters the five internal organs, there is no sign of immortality, which is very wrong. The world does not know that there are immortal people who served before."

From the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people don't say that there are several emperors who died because of taking pills. It is said that His Majesty Li Er also died because of this, which shows how great the temptation of the idea of immortality is to people.

After thinking about it, Xu Qilin's eyes lit up and he thought of an idea. Don't you like to take pills, Lao Tzu can't persuade you, so give you a whole thing that is good for your body, also called Dan, or a big one, so that you can enjoy eating.

"This elixir, the family teacher has passed on two kinds." Xu Qilin groaned and said, "It's just that a certain body is strong and young, so I don't need this Wai Dan tonic." ”

"Oh, oh!" Wei Chihuan nodded again and again, happy in his heart, but he still echoed Xu Qilin, "We are fierce dragons and tigers, of course we don't need to take any pills." ”

Dragons and tigers? Isn't that a bit of a misnomer? If you want to take my medicine, no matter how fierce the dragon is, it's almost the same.

Xu Qilin coughed dryly and said, "In this way, you go back and tell Guogong that it will take a few days to brew this pill." After it was ready, he personally went to serve the prince. ”

"How many days are you?" After Wei Chihuan asked, he was a little surprised: "It's not that the younger brother is urging the elder brother, it's really the father who is in a hurry, and he doesn't have a quasi-believer, so he will scold the younger brother." ”

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "Three days, I will definitely come to visit the Duke of Guo." ”

"Okay, okay." Wei Chihuan even claimed that it was good, thinking that the poor envoy had done a good job, and there was really an elixir to give to his father.

Xu Qilin sent away Wei Chihuan, returned to the house to calm down, summoned the soul to his upper body, and began to write a prescription to drum up his strong pills.

……………

In ancient times, there were famous doctors such as Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, Li Shizhen, Lu Tianshi, etc., what medical saint, medicine saint, medicine king, and the most important is also a miracle doctor. In modern times, there is no doctor as famous as that.

Does that mean that the older you get, the more powerful the doctors are at that time?

Xu Qilin felt that he couldn't understand it this way, and the so-called progress was naturally improved on the basis of his predecessors. The same is true for traditional Chinese medicine, the older it is, the fewer prescriptions there are, and the less comprehensive the understanding of certain conditions.

As with science, the more TCM practitioners in the future, the more prescriptions and experiences can be learned and used for reference, the more superb the medical skills should be, and the diagnosis should be more accurate.

Therefore, when Xu Qilin invited the soul to the body, he chose Ye Tianshi, the god doctor who was the lowest in the age he knew. But he only made two pills, which was really overkill, I'm sorry for Doctor Ye.

A pill was named Xiaoyao Dan by Xu Qilin, that is, the six-flavor Dihuang Pill that has been inherited for thousands of years; Another pill is the Gui Dihuang Pill, which is named Rejuvenation Pill.

It's a very vulgar name, but it's really much stronger than the elixir refined by Taoism. One tonifies kidney yin, one tonifies kidney yang, if you can't eat this, just eat that, there is always one that suits you.

Beating medicinal herbs into powder, boiling honey balls, and boiling wax oil to make medicinal shells are naturally not Xu Qilin's work.

As a result, a small workshop came into being, and more than a dozen honest and hygienic-looking servants became female workers in the pharmaceutical factory.

At the same time, Xu Qilin also added a new product to his store. Tonifying the kidneys, ancient people with wives and concubines need it the most! The dragon is fierce and fierce, that is what men have hoped for for thousands of years.

Write down the symptoms of kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency, and Xu Qilin asked the craftsman to print it. Let people take medicine, you have to give an explanation! And to let the man regain his strength, this elixir has to be sold for a high price, right?!

Xu Qilin thought about making a fortune, took two boxes of pills, and then carried a few bottles of high wine. After thinking about it, he still felt shabby, so he ordered Zuixiaolou to prepare ten dishes and send them to the Eguo Mansion in a food box.

He was not in a hurry on his side, and the god of the Wei Chi Gate was already waiting anxiously. Three days is not a long time, but the old door god is waiting to try the effect of the elixir of the world's masters!

"Three days, okay, do you have to wait until the evening?" Yu Chimen Shen stared at Yu Chihuan with slanted eyes, and began to vent his dissatisfaction.

Wei Chihuan hurriedly explained: "Father, it's not yet noon, please wait a little longer." Why don't I greet him again? ”

Wei Chimen God snorted and said, "Stay honest, and urge again, it's not shameful enough." ”

Yu Chihuan laughed twice and said, "Then I'll go to the gate of the mansion and wait, as soon as Qi Lin arrives, I'll bring him here." ”

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Wei Chihuan hurriedly slipped away, so as not to upset his father and scold him again.

When it was almost noon, Xu Qilin and the guys from the drunken night building came to the Eguo Mansion, and were immediately greeted by Wei Chihuan, who was waiting for him.

Wei Chihuan led Xu Qilin as he walked, and said with a sigh of relief: "If the elder brother doesn't come, the younger brother has to nest in the gatehouse, and he doesn't dare to go to see the adult." ”

"Say yes for three days!" Xu Qilin said with a smile: "The first time I visit the Duke of Guo, I always have to clean up to show respect." ”

"Adults don't talk about hypocrisy, my brother doesn't have to be so solemn." Wei Chihuan led Xu Qilin to the hall, and when he saw his father, he immediately introduced, "My lord, Brother Qi Lin came to visit." ”

Xu Qilin hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, "Xu Qilin has seen Guogong. ”

"Excuse me, excuse me." A smile bloomed on the dark face of the god of Wei Chimen, and he stretched out his hand to signal, "You don't have to be polite, sit down." ”

After Xu Qilin thanked him, he presented the gifts first and explained them one by one.

"This is a pill made from the secret recipe passed down by the family teacher, which has the effect of strengthening the body!" Xu Qilin opened the two wooden boxes, the packaging was quite exquisite, and there were red marks on the wax pills "Xiaoyao Pill" and "Strength Enhancement Pill".

Wei Chimenshen's eyes widened, just looking at this package was not an ordinary thing, and hurriedly asked: "It's just to strengthen the body, but does it have other effects?" ”

Xu Qilin smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know the effect of what Guogong said, but I have to become an immortal?" If so, it can only disappoint Guogong. ”

After a pause, looking at the slightly disappointed expression of the god of Wei Chimen, Xu Qilin continued: "The family teacher has a saying: alchemy and seeking immortals have been passed down from the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. How do you know that the flesh and blood, the water valley is dependent, and the things that may be heavy in the stomach for a long time? It is foolish to die for survival. ”

Wei Chimen Shen frowned and said, "It seems that Master Ru is cultivating the Inner Dan Technique, and he may not know everything about the Outer Dan Technique. ”

Neidanshu should be the name of Qigong by Taoists and Taoists. It is mainly based on the human body as a furnace, absorbing external qi, nourishing internal qi, and yin and yang, passing through the meridians, and implementing it with "refining and refining gas, refining gas and transforming gods, refining gods and returning voids".

Xu Qilin has no objection to this, self-cultivation is also a kind of exercise, at least there is no damage to the body. Moreover, the correct intake is really good for the body and mind.

As for the Wai Dan Technique, Xu Qilin felt that it was possible to produce some ingredients similar to the effects of chemical agents in the chaotic reaction process, but this possibility must not be overestimated.

Toxic is poisonous. The only consequence of the accumulation of mercury, lead, arsenic, and other heavy metals in the body is "seeking longevity and dying quickly".

Xu Qilin smiled faintly and said, "The family teacher may not cultivate the way of the Waidan, but the public of the country knows that there are people who cultivate the Waidan? My teacher is over seventy years old, although his hair is white, but he is as healthy as a teenager, and he is better than a young man in trekking and mountaineering, but this is something that he can see with his own eyes. ”

"This-" The god of Yu Chimen was a little stammered, after all, the gods were just legends, how could they see it with their own eyes.

Seeing that the adults were embarrassed, Wei Chihuan hurriedly interrupted: "Qi Lin has bought wine and food, my lord, it is better to sit down and eat and talk." ”

Wei Chimen God nodded and said, "Qi Lin has a heart. ”

Wei Chihuan greeted his subordinates, and set up tables and chairs in the hall and served wine and food.

Xu Qilin and Yu Chihuan sat with the prime minister, first poured the high wine they brought to Yu Chimenshen, and said with a smile: "The family teacher is a good wine, so the kid will study it and make this strong wine, please taste it." ”

Before the god of Wei Chimen took the cup, he smelled the smell of wine, and couldn't help laughing: "The wine is fragrant, and you know it before you eat it." Qi Lin is a heavy teacher, you should follow suit. ”

Seeing the adult's gaze, Yu Chihuan hurriedly nodded, "Don't worry, the child will respect the teacher." ”

Wei Chimen God said "um", then took a sip of the cup, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and said, "What a spicy wine!" ”

Xu Qilin hurriedly said: "The family teacher often goes into the deep mountains to collect medicine and cultivate, and the mountain wind is cold, so the kid makes this liquor to warm his body. ”

Wei Chimenshen nodded, his eyes showed appreciation, he drank all the wine in the cup, exhaled a sip of wine, and praised: "Good wine, strong enough, just the taste of a certain rough person." ”

"Heroes ride horses, heroes drink spirits." Xu Qilin said with a smile: "This wine is spicy, and those who don't drink a lot of alcohol don't dare to drink more." ”

"When it comes to the amount of alcohol, if a certain boasts of being second, no one dares to call it first." Yu Chimen stroked his beard and looked proud.

Yu Chihuan immediately got up, snatched the wine bottle from Xu Qilin's hand, poured a glass for the adult, and filled it for himself.

"This dish tastes good, too." The god of Yuchi Men first came to two chopsticks to braised mutton, and praised while chewing: "It is much better than the cook in the house." ”

Yu Chihuan said with a smile: "Brother Qi Lin opened a restaurant, called Drunken Supper, the child has eaten there a few times, and then he can't eat the dishes at home, but he can't raise his appetite." ”

Xu Qilin said: "If the prince likes to eat, let the cook go to the drunken building to learn." The kid's appetite for this tongue is also because of the teacher's favor. ”

"Cultivators, is there no taboo in eating and drinking?" Yu Chimen asked suspiciously.

Xu Qilin smiled faintly and said: "Guogong listens to the poems written by the family teacher, and you will know its free and easy nature, which is in line with the true meaning of the Taoist of nature." ”
