Chapter 166: Mountain Paint

Ning Rong heard what Ping'an Ru said, and hurriedly begged for it, and also looked at the small bag, which must contain a dozen small things, and he didn't know what they were. This little thing looks round and round, and it looks very weird. I've never seen it.

He said: "Peace and security." What is it that surprises you so much?

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "This is a kind of medicinal material, it is extremely precious, what is it called, what is it called?" He wrapped the bag again, put it directly into his arms, and smiled honestly and unceremoniously. He bowed his head again and asked the bitter old monk.

Nian Ku was also very surprised. He originally wanted to show off, but Wang Ping'an saw at a glance that this was an extremely precious medicinal material. He said: "This thing is called mountain lacquer, it is really a good medicine, but it can't be seen in the Central Plains, only Lao Na knows where it grows!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed. Of course he knew the medicine in the thug's bag, and he knew its name even more, but he didn't know what the Tang Dynasty people called it. And he knew very well that there was definitely no record in the medicine book at this time, so it was not good to call the name directly!

He snorted again and said, "Sure enough, it's a good medicine, since you gave it to me, then I won't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, just accept it, how many more do you have, give it to me together!" ”

This medicine is nothing else. It is the wonderful medicine that is famous in modern medicine, Sanqi! Panax notoginseng is too delicate, the growing area is remote, the transportation is inconvenient, and the local residents do not spread the use of Panax notoginseng to the thugs, so it was not until the Ming Dynasty that medical scientists gradually understood the efficacy and use of this medicine.

Panax notoginseng mainly grows in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and other places. In the Tang Dynasty, these places were quite remote, not to mention the ordinary people of the Central Plains, even if the officials went to this kind of place, it was equivalent to being matched. The growth of Panax notoginseng has extremely high requirements for the environment, unlike other medicinal materials, it is easy to be artificially cultivated, so as to be mass-produced and sold, and it can only be wild in the Tang Dynasty.

In the Central Plains, it is not uncommon to go up the mountain to collect medicines, but it is really quite rare to be able to pick notoginseng. And Panax notoginseng is a very useful medicinal herb.

In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", there is a clear record: "Ginseng is the first to replenish qi, notoginseng is the first to replenish blood, and the taste is the same, and the function is also equal." Therefore, it is called ginseng notoginseng, which is the most precious of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is so precious in the Ming Dynasty, let alone the Tang Dynasty.

The joy on Nian Ku's face appeared, and he was still quite unrelenting to Wang Ping'an. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to offer medicine. He smiled and said: "It's not the thirty-seven of thirty-seven twenty-one, but the mountain of mountains and rivers, the paint of paint!" After a pause, he said: "Little donor of peace, since you recognize this medicine, how can you recognize this medicine?"

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "I read in a miscellaneous book, you picked this medicine from a very distant place." In the south of the clouds, right?

Nian bitterly sighed, and the happy expression on his face collapsed instantly, he originally thought that Wang Ping'an didn't know, and he was trying to sell it, but he didn't sell it. He nodded slowly and said, "It was indeed picked there, but it was not picked by Lao Na, but given to Lao Na by another eminent monk, and he traveled all over the world." Occasionally, I saw the locals use this medicine to stop bleeding, so I picked some and dedicated them to my White Horse Temple! ”

Feng Ningrong asked Wang Ping'an, "Is this medicine really precious?" It's just a hemostatic medicine, there are a lot of this kind of medicinal materials, but it doesn't necessarily show it, if it's really precious, wouldn't it have been known to everyone for a long time! ”

Wang Ping'an smiled slightly. Said: "How can other medicinal herbs compare with it." Uncle Feng Shi, that ginseng is precious, right? It is more valuable than production and ginseng, and it is the first medicinal material to nourish blood. ”

He wasn't wrong. Although ginseng is valuable, it has become popular, and as long as there is money in the market, it can be bought. But the flavor of Panax notoginseng did not spread, and money could not buy it, and it was rare and expensive, at least in the Tang Dynasty. It's really more expensive than ginseng!

Wang Ping'an turned over and dismounted. Coming to the side of Nian Ku, he said: "The White Horse Temple is the ancestral court of Buddhism, and there are many monks who travel all over the world to practice asceticism, but you can get this good medicine." It's also a coincidence. You can bring me the medicine, and for that alone, I am very grateful and can grant you a request."

After a pause, he added: "It is definitely not possible to become a monk, and I will not take your mantle and be the host of the White Horse Temple, so you don't need to mention this again."

Nian Ku took a step back, put his palms together, recited Amitabha, and said, "Don't force everything, Lao Na naturally understands." These days have also figured it out, and it is reasonable that the little benefactor of peace is reluctant to shave.

Lao Na had a reluctant request. Please also ask the little donor of peace to agree! ,

Wang Ping'an didn't say anything, but Ouyang Li said impatiently in the back: "Don't be rambling, if you have something to say, if you don't speak well" Hmph, it doesn't matter what your ancestral court is or not, if you provoke your grandfather to rise, it will still be burned! ”

Thinking bitterly and trembling, he is not afraid of anything else, he is afraid of meeting unreasonable, although he himself is a little unreasonable, and he has to be a monk for Wang Ping'an. recited Amitabha Buddha again, and then said: "Lao Na wants to accept apprentices for the first master and accept the little benefactor of peace to be a lay disciple, okay?"

Wang Ping'an frowned. Lay disciples? It's not impossible to be small, there are more people with cultivation in this era, and I don't see which of them really recite Ranmida Buddha all day long, fasting once a month is a manifestation of sincerity, eating a little vegetarian, in fact, it is only, the children have the opportunity to clear the greasy stomach. He said, "What am I going to do?" If you have to abide by a lot of rules for lay disciples, then forget it."

Listening to Wang Ping'an's relief, he was happy to read the bitterness, and his old face smiled as bright as a flower, and he hurriedly said: "You don't have to abide by any rules, but every time you encounter a Buddhist temple, no matter what sect or sect, if someone asks." All you have to do is answer that you are a lay disciple in the White Horse Temple, and you were inspired by the Buddha in the White Horse Temple. That's it! ”

Oh, it turns out that the monk is also divided into sects, and he even asked me to advertise for him, the old monk is really good at counting wells, no worse than Wei Zhen! He said: "If others don't ask, I won't take the initiative to answer!" ”

Nian smiled bitterly: "Of course you can, there is absolutely no problem with this, Lao Na can also give you a degree card to indicate your identity, so that you can eat and stay in any temple in the world, even if you go west to Tianyan, you can go to the temple to eat and stay?" ”

Feng Ningrong laughed when he heard it in the back, and said: "If you say so, Ping'an Shinephew, you can promise him, the host of Nian Ku gave you a great opportunity to eat and drink for nothing, and it was me instead." I'm going to say yes right away."

Wang Ping'an also smiled and said, "If you had said this earlier, then I would have agreed a long time ago." Well, I promised it a long time ago, but I can't get this good medicine."

He got on his horse again and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to your temple, and we will talk about it at that time!" ”

Ecstasy. Shouted, "You." You're not a fool?.

Wang Ping'an did not answer. The horses marched forward, and where the dust was flying, everyone went far away. From afar, I heard Ouyang Li shouting: "Even if my master wants to deceive people, at worst, he wants to deceive a beautiful nun, deceive you as an old monk, what's the fun!" ”

Wang Ping'an turned around immediately and glared at Ouyang Li, if he wants to say that he is a monk, he won't, but he can't involve nuns, then Wu Zetian will also be a nun in the future, but don't say anything!

The people beat their horses back to the city. Wang Ping'an first went to the Left-behind Mansion, and then saw Mrs. Feng's illness, and saw that she was still recovering steadily. Then he said goodbye and did not stay in the house.

When I got back to the station, it was already dark. While ordering someone to bring dinner, he sent Ouyang Li to invite Zhao Bi to come. Although he doesn't like Zhao Bi very much, he now has something to ask for someone.

Zhao Bi listened to his call. came immediately, and as soon as he entered the room, he smiled and said: "Brother Wang Xian, we haven't talked about wine for a long time, do you have something to do with me tonight?" ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "What do you mean for a long time, I have never talked to you about wine at night!" He stood up and smiled, "Not really, but I have a good look." Come on, Brother Zhao, please sit down, I have something to tell you."

Zhao Bi sat at the table, he had actually eaten dinner, but he pretended to be very hungry, and after sitting down, he shouted: "Come on, add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, this young master is hungry!" ”

Wang Ping'an ignored his pretentiousness, took out the package of notoginseng, took out one from it, put it on the table, and said, "Brother Zhao, your family is in the medicinal herb business, have you ever seen this thing?" ”

Zhao Bi only glanced at it, then shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, what is this?" It looks like it's ugly."

Wang Ping'an pointed to this Sanqi and said, "I have a great fortune to give you, are you willing to accept it?"

Zhao Bi's heart suddenly burst out, and he thought: "It is really beneficial to make friends with him, and the great wealth he said will not be small!" He was surprised and delighted, and said, "There is such a good thing." Thank you Brother Wang Xian first! ”

Wang Ping'an picked up Sanqi, put it in his hand, and said, "This is a hundred taels of gold, you can accept it."

"This, what is this?. Zhao Bi was taken aback.

When Wang Ping'an saw that he only talked about money, he immediately made Zhao Bi's eyes shine, and he knew in his heart that this matter would be successful. He said with a smile: "This medicine is called Panax notoginseng, which is more precious than gold, but it only grows in remote places in the south and has not spread, so it is a new medicine!" ”

Zhao Bi sighed. Picked up Sanqizai and looked at it carefully. He said in a low voice: "New medicinal materials, but sent to my Zhao family's door, isn't this an exclusive sale, and the price is at will!" ”

Wang Ping'an nodded and said: "For a long time in the future, its price will not fall, and one of its effects is to stop bleeding, which can be made into a good knife wound medicine."

Do you think, if this medicine is adopted by the government soldiers, how big of a business it will be? ”

Zhao Biwei took a breath of cool air and thought: "This kind of good business, you don't keep it for yourself, but you find my head, it is conceivable, this medicine is quite difficult to procure, you can't do it yourself, so you thought of using my family's procurement channels!" ”

Without his cranky thinking, Wang Ping'an directly told him: "This medicine may grow in Laojun Mountain in Yunnan"

"That's too far, just the freight will have to be geometric, and the south is hot, and there is a lot of dancing, to find a new medicine. But it's quite difficult." Zhao Bi shouted, seeing the unhappiness on Wang Ping'an's face, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's not difficult for you to find me."

Wang Ping'an hummed. If you understand, he said: "I will repair a book, give it to your old man, and send a sample, and the future will be done by your family, but how to do this business and how to distribute profits, we still need to discuss."

Zhao Bi nodded and said, "That's exactly how it should be!" ”
