Chapter 180: A Strange Prescription
Seeing that Qin Lin was leaving, the prefect of Zhenjiang pulled him back: "Dare to ask General Qin, but the case of the theft of Caoyin has an eyebrow?" There are quite some ignorant people under the rule of this official, and it is rumored that Cao Yin will be levied and apportioned if he can't find the imperial court, and the people in the market are panicking...... Our Cui Sicang of Zhenjiang Mansion, could it be that he is the internal response of the White Lotus Sect? ”
originally thought that the Zhenjiang Mansion would not take responsibility for the incident in Sanwan, but the people were worried that the imperial court would levy and apportion the lost Caoyin, so rumors spread and people were panicked, and the prefect did not care; But now it seems that Cui Sicang has a lot to do with the case, and the responsibility of the prefect is greater.
Qin Lin nodded, and bluntly told him that this was indeed the case, Cui Sicang was killed by the White Lotus Sect, and then tried to burn the corpse.
Yes? The prefect was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and his hands trembled.
Last year, Zhang Juzheng, the minister of Gangneung, vigorously and resolutely implemented the examination law, stipulating that all local officials who collected less than 90 percent of the taxes should be severely punished, so the officials in various localities did their utmost to supervise and hold the heads of households accountable for paying the taxes and grain of the year, and the fiscal revenues were unprecedentedly good, and they also drastically eliminated redundant personnel and saved expenditures, and finally reversed the situation of financial deficits for many years, and achieved a surplus of revenue and expenditure.
How much is the surplus achieved by the famous ministers of the generation with the efforts of the country?
Eight hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver.
Okay, this time, the silver of the winter Xie Tai warehouse in the anointed land of Jiangnan was stolen, and 500,000 taels were lost at once, and the Manchu Dynasty headed by Zhang Juzheng was in vain, and most of the work of half a year was in vain, can the court not be angry, and can it not severely punish the relevant officials?
Such a serious crime is that even Ping Jiangbo and Chen Wangmo, the chief military officer of Caoyun, can't afford to bear it, let alone the prefect of Jiang in this small town.
He grabbed Qin Lin's sleeve, Sai Ru grabbed the life-saving straw, and his voice was crying: "Since General Qin said that the case has an eyebrow, then Cao Yin will definitely be able to get it back?" Where is it, ask the general to make it clear, and the subordinate will make meritorious service for the crime, and immediately take the arrest and the officials to chase it back. ”
"Where's Caoyin?" Qin Lin smiled, wrenched his fingers and counted the days: "If you take the Yangtze River waterway, you will already be out of Baishuiyang; If you go from the Jiangnan Canal, you will have already passed Hangzhou Bay. ”
The prefect of Zhenjiang sat on the ground, no matter Baishuiyang or Hangzhou Bay, further there is the Oriental sea, and once Caoyin goes out to sea, the gods can't find it back!
Qin Lin helped the prefect up, and Wen Yan persuaded: "Don't panic, don't panic, this official will go to Sanwan on the other side of the Yangtze River first, and then find a way to get Caoyin back." ”
Easier said than done! The prefect's face is as pale as dirt, it is already three souls to go to two, seven spirits to run six, the heart of your brother is not the one who takes responsibility, his mouth is light, but I don't know that although Grandpa Qi has leveled the Japanese Kou, but the Japanese Kou no longer dare to come to the land, the vast sea is still China, Goryeo, Yueben, Francoji and other countries of the pirates in the world, even if the Ming Navy Division is mobilized to conquer, the vast sea do you know where the silver is? Other pirates also have ships, loaded with silver and ran to Yuben and Luzon, and the sailors can still chase them?
Qin Lin was not in a hurry, and said confidently: "Although I can't chase him to the sea, I have my own way to get Yinzi to come back." ”
After that, Qin Lin took a pen and paper, wrote a prescription on it, and handed it to the prefect.
The prefect of Zhenjiang took the prescription, only to see that it was written on it, "The Jiangling Prime Minister's Mansion is buying a large number of iron brooms, tribulus terrestris, hump oil, and schisandra, and the more the four medicines, the better."
At that time, the literati were more coarse in medical skills, and the so-called good doctor was not a good look, and the prefect also knew some medicine surnames, but it was very strange to see this prescription:
Iron broom is another name for melon seed gold in Zhejiang, also known as gold key, god sand grass, ground vine grass, hard, flat, into the lungs, stomach, heart three meridians, functional phlegm and cough, blood circulation and hemostasis, soothing the nerves, clearing heat and detoxifying.
Tribulus terrestris is sweet, warm, non-toxic, nourishing liver, kidney, eyesight, and solid essence.
Hump oil is sweet, surname is warm, non-toxic, moisturizing, dispelling wind, invigorating blood, reducing swelling, treating the elderly with wind heat and poison, stubborn and unkind, five slow and six urgent.
Schisandra chinensis is surnamed warm, sour, sweet, astringent, astringent, invigorating, nourishing the kidneys and calming the heart.
There is no reason for these four herbs to be used together, why does the Gangneung Prime Minister purchase them in large quantities?
The prefect of Zhenjiang blinked, puzzled, and secretly said Could it be that Qin Lin instructed me to curry favor with Jiangling Zhang Taiyue and ask him for protection?
Qin Lin smiled: "Copy ten or twenty copies of this recipe, stamp it with the big seal of your mansion, and hang it in conspicuous places such as docks, ferries, embankments, etc., if there is really a medicine dealer to sell medicine, just say that he has already bought it, but he doesn't take medicine, but asks long and short questions, you ask him to wait patiently here, and Qin someone will also take Korean ginseng, fusang chrysanthemum, Luzon monkey and East China Sea living water to make medicine." ”
The prefect of Zhenjiang became more and more dizzy, if Korean ginseng and fusang chrysanthemum are still medicinal materials, it is very rare for the East China Sea living water to be used as a medicine, and as for what Luzon monkeys to take, this is completely unheard of.
But now there is no other way, the prefect of Zhenjiang has no choice but to follow the plan, he patted his heart and comforted himself: Qin someone said so confidently, he had to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor! I hope that this deputy Qianhu of Jinyi Wei does have real talent and learning...... Qin Lin took Lu Yuanzhi and others to the dock, and saw from a distance that the centipede boat was still parked on the shore.
The sailors on the ship also saw Qin Lin, this time it was not the same as before, the officers and soldiers of the whole ship knelt on the deck, and the sentry officer Ge raised his handbook, and reported his resume in a loud voice: "Mark the Yangtze River Sailor 100 households rank patrol river sentry officer Ge Run, Longqing's two years of ordinary labor achievements plus the replacement of the general, the rate of the B-word clipper official school, see General Qin!" ”
Qin Lin secretly laughed at this man's sesame mung bean-sized official, and it was difficult for him to remember it clearly, so he jumped off the horse, handed over the reins to Niu Dali, and walked up to the boat from the trestle.
Lu Fatzi covered his mouth behind him and laughed: "Why did you do it before?" The power of Brother Qin's silver ticket is really powerful! ”
Officer Ge half-knelt and walked to the court according to the etiquette of his subordinates: "Under the standard, we are waiting to send the general back, and the whole ship is also vying to make some efforts, General Qin is fighting for the king's affairs, and the public is loyal to the country, we really admire it in our hearts, and we admire it tight......ly."
These officers and soldiers of the Navy Division are also interesting, they took the money and didn't leave, and they are still waiting to send Qin Lin back!
Although they were tired enough when they came, they still worked very hard when they returned, and shook the oars as fast as they could.
As a result, the boatmen and fishermen on the river and both sides of the river once again saw the centipede boats of the river waterproofers flying over the river like dragon boat races.
"These sailors are usually very lazy, but they work very hard to gamble on the victory or defeat of the Dragon Boat Festival!" The old fisherman nodded in admiration, and decided to go back and tell his son, if several civilian fleets in Yangzhou don't work hard, it seems that the top spot in the Dragon Boat Festival next year will be taken away by the Jiangfang battalion!
Qin Lin took a centipede boat and soon returned to Guazhou on the other side, and he sent Han Feilian to inform Chen Wangmo and others to come to Sanwan, saying that he would solve the mystery of Caoyin's disappearance for everyone on the spot.
What the? Lu Fatzi and Niu Dali opened their mouths in surprise, completely unable to understand why Qin Lin had found the mystery so quickly.
