Luo Yi also saw these principles in books. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

waved to the pharmacy owner, the pharmacy owner walked over with a smile, Luo Yi picked out these two things, and asked, "What kind of medicinal herb is this, and what kind of disease can it cure?" ”

The owner of the pharmacy said: "These two herbs are very effective, charcoal can treat dozens of diseases such as postpartum abdominal pain, poor urination, gold sores and food poisoning; As for sulfur, external use can detoxify, insecticide, and sores, and internal use can replenish fire and help yang laxative, etc. ”

Luo Yi nodded, and then asked, "Do you have a medicinal herb called saltpeter here?" ”

Saltpeter? The pharmacy owner thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Luo Yi frowned, no? How could it not be? If not, how did that pharmacy get flying?

Luo Yi asked, "Is there always a medicine that is stone, or sand, or has something to do with soil?" ”

Luo Yi thought in his heart, maybe the name of each place is different, the book is written about saltpeter, maybe this place is not called that, but judging from the name saltpeter, it must be inseparable from the stone, not the stone, it is also inseparable from the sand and soil, as long as you check it like this, you will definitely be able to find the result. Of course, this is just Luo Yi's fantasy, and the truth will only be known after checking.

Next, I saw the owner of the pharmacy nodding again and again, and said with a smile: "Yes, there is a medicinal herb called Huangshi." ”

Luo Yi was overjoyed. Excitedly: "Where?" Take it out and I'll take a look. ”

"Wait a minute, general, I'll get it."

The owner of the pharmacy came to a drawer very skillfully, picked up a small bag casually, came to Luo Yi and opened it: "General, please see, this is Huangshi, which is more useful than the first two medicines, and can treat headaches, heart and abdominal pain, waist and abdominal pain, diarrhea, intestinal wind and blood, etc., many prescriptions require this kind of Huangshi as the main medicine." ”

"It's just a pity that the pharmacy I bought last month caught fire, and I heard that even people died, so it will be difficult to buy this kind of goods in the future."

Luo Yi was excited and understood. Completely understood, no wonder people sent people to look for so long but did not find saltpeter, the original name is different.

The explosion of the pharmacy a month ago can be explained clearly, it must be that the pharmacy owner put a large amount of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur together, and then these three things hit the spark again, and finally with a bang, a huge burst of energy.

The owner of the pharmacy also said just now that all his saltpeter was purchased in that pharmacy, which means that there must be a lot of saltpeter there, so it is not surprising that it will explode.

"Alright, it's okay."

Ling Feng muttered, and then walked out of the pharmacy with Pan Long and the guards.

Back in the study, Luo Yi called Zhang Wancheng and told Zhang Wancheng what he had found, Zhang Wancheng shook his head again and again, and said: "I really didn't expect that this saltpeter is called Huangshi, and it is also a medicinal material, no wonder I haven't found it for so long." Hey, I don't think it's a stone, is it? How is it called Yellowstone? ”

For pharmacology, Zhang Wancheng is not very clear.

Luo Yi said: "You are wrong, he should also be a kind of stone, but not completely, it should be refined, now what we have to do is to find out where this stone is." ”

Zhang Wancheng asked, "What should you do in your humble position?" ”

Luo Yi said: "What you have to do is to find a pharmacy that wholesales saltpeter, and then ask them where this medicinal material came from, and then trace its root and find the origin of this stone." Mining in large quantities, I have a lot of use! ”

"Oh yes, this matter must be done in secret, the news must be blocked, don't tell anyone, especially the matter of zha medicine, and never leak half a sentence!"

"Yes. The lowly will go now. ”

Zhang Wancheng made a gesture and turned to leave the study.

The explosion in the pharmacy was finally investigated, and he was completely relieved, he was almost exhausted to death during this time, but the next task given by Luo Yi will be even more difficult, and he must go all out to find saltpeter, this thing is even more difficult to find, and it will not be able to be done in a while.

Central Plains, Huainan Road.

Chuzhou, within the state city.

This city, which was quiet some time ago, is now full of soldiers.

Jiangnan was captured by Aguduo, Qin Huaiyu followed Li Shimin's will, went to Huainan to train troops, met the Northern Desert Iron Cavalry, and gathered together to annihilate the rebels in Xiliang, and was stationed here.

Originally, Huainan's seat of governance was in Yangzhou, but now Yangzhou has also been captured by Aguduo, and there are 40,000 Xiliang soldiers stationed, which can not be taken back in a moment and a half, so they can only meet in Chuzhou, which is closest to Yangzhou.

The Northern Desert army that came to the Central Plains had a total of 140,000, which was a little different from Li Shimin's original number, but it was just right, and the possibility of rebellion was greatly reduced.

This night, Qin Huaiyu gathered all the generals to discuss a strategy to deal with Ah Guduo.

In the lobby, there were many people seated on both sides.

Above, Qin Huaiyu stood solemnly, with a map hanging behind him, which was very eye-catching, and several soldiers were sorting it out.

After tidying up, Qin Huaiyu stood up and said, "Generals, now that Jiangnan has fallen, the emperor has asked us to come, looking forward to the news of our victory day and night." Can you have faith? ”

"General Qin, just say it, how the battle should be fought, our Northern Desert army, all listen to you." The one who spoke was a strong man with a stubble on his face, his name was Tie Mujin, and he was the general who led the Northern Desert army into the Central Plains this time, and the 140,000 troops were under his control.

"Yes, General Qin, you can tell me your strategy." A fat man of short stature said.

This person is also the general of the Northern Desert Army, to be precise, Tiemujin's brother, Tiemuyin.

Qin Huaiyu nodded and said, "Okay, then the general is not welcome, say some shallow opinions." ”

He glanced at the people in the hall, pointed to the map and said: "We are now in Chuzhou, Chuzhou belongs to Huainan Province, Huainan is next to Jiangnan, and it is the object of the enemy's next attack, we must not allow this kind of thing to happen, we must defeat Aguduo before that." ”

"It is reported that after Aguduo captured Jiangnan and Yangzhou, he began to expand the army on a large scale, Yangzhou originally only had a garrison of 10,000, but now it has expanded to 40,000, and the people in various parts of Jiangnan are also boiling with resentment, and the people were forcibly arrested to fill the army, and the number of soldiers under his command, including the Yangzhou garrison, has expanded to 420,000!!"

Hiss...

Hearing this number, everyone gasped.

Temukin asked, "Where did he get so much grain?" Can you afford it? ”

Everyone knows that it is easy to recruit soldiers, but it is difficult to raise soldiers, and the food consumed by an army of 420,000 in a day is an astronomical amount, let alone last for several months.
