In early June, Ren County had just experienced the customs clearance of a group of merchants, and the tax revenue was said to have surged by 20 percent, which was relatively smooth.

It wasn't until ten days later that County Lieutenant Zheng came to the door again to 'Yonghetang' that Zhang Weidong knew that something went wrong in the last customs clearance.

After Fengxiaolou, that night, the station of the three major merchants was attacked at night, and later several spies appeared. Fortunately, there were strong guards around the three major merchants, and the Hu cavalry battalion also dispatched many sergeants to quell it, and the response was timely, and the enemy's conspiracy did not succeed.

However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Weidong.

After a bidding for elixir, Zhang Weidong initially established contact with the three major merchants, that is, Chen Xiong, who was angry with him at the beginning, advocated it without authorization, and for the sake of gold coins, he also turned his rivalry into jade silk. Because in the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Weidong took the initiative to visit them and ordered a few elixirs, which is not a small amount, but the next elixir is estimated to be a few months later, and the cross-border business between Qingguo and Qi is not easy to do.

Yonghe Hall on East Street, cold in front of the door, and the tea inside is fragrant.

Early in the morning, Zhang Weidong sat down to read the newly collected medical books, and by the way, he brewed a pot of 'Sanfeng Jinxia', and waited for the patient to come to the door.

But he didn't want to, so he opened the door for a while, and County Lieutenant Zheng only brought two catchers to the door.

The two sides sat down, Zhang Weidong poured him a cup of tea, and County Lieutenant Zheng took it, first sniffed it, and then sipped it. The two catchers were accompanied by Zhao Gongjian and chatted in a low voice.

"Sanfeng Jinxia?" said County Lieutenant Zheng uncertainly.

'Sanfeng Jinxia' itself represents the top tea in the Qingguo Jinxia Tea Area, and there are not many of them distributed to Ren County every year, and most of the channels come from merchants. Last time, Zhang Weidong went to Tianyun Tea House. bought a few catties at a time, and indeed bought up a month's stock of Tianyun Tea House. And the tea shop that can get the 'Three Peaks Jinxia'. There are only two in Ren County, and Tianyun Tea House is one of them.

Such tea. One tael of 2 silver coins, one catty of 20 silver coins, the only people who can afford to consume it can be the upper-class people of Ren County. Even if it is a medicine hall, it is generally used to entertain distinguished guests. Like Zhang Weidong, there are indeed not many people who make a few pots for themselves every day. Where is this tea, it's just silver coins!

County Lieutenant Zheng knew that Zhang Weidong had made a lot of money from the war horses of the Huangsha thieves, and he had also made a lot of money, so he tacitly knew it. The last batch of war horses. I still went into some rich families, and one family purchased one or two horses, and dozens of horses were quickly sold out.

Zhang Weidong said with a smile: "The shopkeeper of Tianyun Tea House Lin ceded some of it, and it was not bad to drink!"

County Lieutenant Zheng glanced at the books on the table and appreciated: "Tea is good tea, but for a rough man like me, it's a waste, or Dr. Zhang knows how to taste tea." ”

"Tea is here to drink, adults are too modest. ”

"What my lord. Doctor Zhang, why don't you call me Brother Zheng, come freely!" County Lieutenant Zheng pretended to be displeased.

Zhang Weidong smiled: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I don't know what happened to Brother Zheng coming to 'Yonghe Hall'?"

"Actually, it's fine, my wife has drunk the medicine prescribed by my brother. I'm in good health, I don't know if I need further treatment?" said Zheng Countywei, smacking his lips.

Zhang Weidong didn't believe this, and County Lieutenant Zheng was obviously insincere when he said this. He noticed it. However, since the other party does not tell the truth. He also pretended to be confused.

Zhang Weidong groaned and said, "That's it." If it's convenient to go back, let my sister-in-law come to 'Yonghetang', and I will diagnose one or two, although the last course of medicine can basically get rid of the root of the disease, but after a long illness, I can prescribe some medicine to nourish the body, and the effect is also good. ”

Disease, health care, beauty, health, heirs, etc., if you want to have a relationship with Zheng County, Zhang Weidong can find out a lot of problems for the county captain's wife and Zheng County's wife.

County Lieutenant Zheng suddenly said happily: "Thank you Brother Xian!"

County Lieutenant Zheng stayed in the 'Yonghe Hall' for half an hour, drank two pots of tea, and then took his leave. It seems that County Lieutenant Zheng really just passed by and came in to sit.

Zhang Weidong sent it to the door, and looked at the weather, it was relatively gloomy, and the black clouds were thick, as if it was a sign of rain. It didn't rain in May in Ren County, and now it's mid-June, the weather is so dry that the sand and dust are constant, and many times, you have to wear a mask when you go out

Ma Li cleaned up the tea set, the tea leaves were faint, and they needed to be replaced and the tea set needed to be cleaned, but Zhao Gongjian was very happy. His own lord was valued by the county lieutenant, and he also visited him in person, and he also felt that he had a lot of face as a subordinate.

"Master, it seems that Mrs. County Lieutenant's illness has been cured, and Yonghetang is really going to be famous. I just don't know how Li Yuanwai's illness is, if he is cured, I believe there will be no fewer people who come to see a doctor!"

Zhang Weidong stood at the door and said with a smile: "I hope so." ”

Strictly speaking, in addition to a large number of disabled sergeants, there are only two patients treated by 'Yonghetang', except for the county lieutenant's wife and Li Yuan. These two people are really going to be healed, and they can indeed bring tangible customers to 'Yonghetang'. All the previous advertisements only made 'Yonghetang' famous in Ren County, so that many people had a preliminary understanding of it, but it did not help the business much.

However, in the past half a month, he has not been so idle. He also designed a medicine tripod and delivered it to a blacksmith shop to build, which is now in the process of being completed. It is estimated that in a month's effort, those two medicine tripods can be built. However, the materials are precious and not easy to build, so the cost is not low, and two pieces get 1 gold coin.

Create two pills, mainly for refining medicines, and one for backup, just in case.

At present, there are 11 pieces of elixir, 5 centennial yellow ginseng, 2 violet bead grass, 3 elm ear Ganoderma lucidum, 1 Dongcao wolfberry, and a lot of precious auxiliary drugs and ordinary medicinal materials.

The medicine that Zhang Weidong wants to refine is called 'Dragon and Phoenix Refining Body Ointment', and after refining, it will melt when it encounters water and is used for medicinal baths. Its configuration is complex, 1 centennial yellow ginseng, 1 violet pearl grass, 1 elm ear Ganoderma lucidum, 1 Dongcao wolfberry, and hundreds of medicinal materials are precisely assisted.

According to Zhang Weidong's prediction, so many elixirs and auxiliary medicines, the effect after refining them is not ordinary.

A pair of medicinal materials of 'Dragon and Phoenix Body Refining Ointment', through his hands, may be enough to soak 7 people. One dip in a medicated bath. It is enough for ordinary people to have the physique of a third-rate martial artist in a month. If you can increase the five-grade snow lotus seeds, the medicinal effect will be increased by one level. A pair of ointments can directly give a person the physique of a second-rate warrior. It's a pity that the five-grade snow lotus seeds are in the hands of the general of the Hu cavalry battalion. He mentioned that he could refine medicine, but now he doesn't see the other party taking the initiative to come to the door.

"It's a pity that Ren County is not a place to stay for a long time after all, and the training of everyone must start as soon as possible!"

"It seems that the yamen catches quickly, but it's a good place to go-"

"It's good to have a temporary worker!"

Zhang Weidong felt that he couldn't sit and wait, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that arranging for Zhao Erbao and a few people to enter the yamen as temporary catchers and rotate their experience would be very beneficial to their growth. In the final analysis, no matter how high the force of Zhao Erbao and the others is. It was only then that he got out of the tenant status, and his social experience was much worse.

Yamen is a good identity, and dealing with the three sects and nine streams is just the right time to hone them.

This time, County Lieutenant Zheng came to the door, probably to show goodwill, or to ask him. Everyone is just making an exchange, presumably County Lieutenant Zheng will not refuse!

"Master, it's raining!" Zhao Gongjian shouted excitedly, pulling Zhang Weidong's thoughts back.

Zhang Weidong looked outside through the bamboo curtain. There was a burst of chaotic thinking on the street, chickens and dogs jumping, many people exclaimed with joy, and the ground was soon chaotic.

A heavy rain in mid-June. Let everyone's hearts feel cool and hopeful. In the second half of the year, the trade was cleared again.

Zhang Weidong also participated.

It's a pity that there are no big dealers this time. There was no elixir harvested either. It seems that the big merchants are not available for every customs clearance. Seemingly. Collecting elixir can only come slowly, and he will bloom more. Heavy money to buy and book, the more elixir, the better. Zhang Weidong also got acquainted with more merchants.

At the same time, the business of 'Yonghetang' is gradually improving. The old problem of Mrs. County Lieutenant was completely eradicated, she had a follow-up visit, swallowed new medicine, and began to feel better. Then, Li Yuanwai came to thank him with a cart of gifts, which was very high-profile, and the value of silk, medicinal herbs, charcoal, and jewelry exceeded the cost of treatment. This advertising effect made it possible for someone to finally come to see a doctor.

Sometimes, word-of-mouth is built inadvertently. With the first, the second, the third will not be far away. Basically, every two or three days, a patient comes to the door, with a variety of symptoms, and many concepts such as beauty, health care, and health preservation are also inadvertently spreading, expanding business channels. Therefore, the reputation of 'Yonghetang' really spread in the upper echelons.

This naturally made the other seven medicine halls hate it, but it was useless. In desperation, the seven major medicine halls gradually united and joined forces to suppress the 'Yonghe Hall'. This had some effect, but not much. Several conspiracies against 'Yonghetang' have been resolved, and they almost attracted quick arrest.

In October, Zhang Weidong finally taught Zhao Erbao and several others who learned gunmanship "Basic Gunnery". Basically, in ten months, Zhang Weidong taught all the basic things, and everyone also learned them all. And these basic kung fu, such as Mixed Yuan Pile Gong, Breath Breathing, Big Gun Pile, Small Demon Fist, Gun Step, Gun Technique, Horse Battle, Light Body Technique, etc., are enough for them to practice for a lifetime. Among them, only Xu Qing and Zhao Lanlan learned swordsmanship. The second daughter got on the horse and went down to the ground, and Yanran became a heroine.

Aunt Zhao's eyes have completely regained her sight, and she is also very in favor of the second daughter learning martial arts, she is very open-minded, only Zhao sighs every time, her daughter does not love red makeup and loves arms, how can she marry in the future?

In November, the first furnace of 'Dragon and Phoenix Body Refining Paste' was finally refined, and it was divided into seven parts, which were used by Xu Qing, Zhao Lanlan, Zhao Erbao, Zhao Tiedan, Zhao Bow and Arrow, Zhao Falcon, and Zhao Hound to try the medicinal bath, and the result was surprisingly good. With the help of the medicinal bath, in this month, everyone practiced more hard, absorbed the medicinal power to the greatest extent, enhanced the qi and blood, and stimulated the potential, by the end of the month, the seven people had the physique of a third-rate martial artist, the strength was infinite, the body was as light as a swallow, and the spear and sword were like a rainbow, which was very amazing.

And all these changes were done in a small farmyard. So much so that Aunt Zhao and Zhao's eyes were also hot, and they privately consulted Xu Qing and Zhao Lanlan, and secretly practiced, and the two daughters were puzzled, and they also consulted Zhang Weidong from time to time. Zhang Weidong opened one eye and closed one eye, and let them teach. The stronger the people around you, the better it is. It's good if these exercises are not passed on, and the important thing is the medicinal bath.

In addition, it is Goudan and his adopted sons Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, Zhang Bao, and adopted daughters Zhang Xiu and Zhang Lan, Zhang Weidong also plans to teach them to stand on the pile and vomit. The six of them are over 8 years old, and after more than half a year of recuperation, they have returned to normal, and they can withstand a certain amount of basic exercises.

Only Xiao Yueyue and Zhang Hui, who is one year older, are still young, and they will have to be cultivated in a few years.

At the end of that month, Zhang Weidong let Zhao Erbao, Zhao Tiedan, and Zhao Falcon put on fast catching clothes, took a saber, and began to work as errands in the yamen through the relationship of Zheng County Lieutenant. For the rest of the people, Zhang Weidong also has a plan to turn around and rotate into the yamen for training.

At the beginning, many people were not optimistic about the three of them, their experience was immature, they were uncoordinated everywhere, and they were excluded everywhere, but half a month later, in a fight to arrest a group of bandits, the three showed strong force, capturing several big thieves, killing more than a dozen enemies, and the three spears were invincible, conquering the fast catchers and Zheng County Lieutenant in one fell swoop. They suddenly realized that these three people were so powerful!

After that, the trappers' waists straightened up. Even after many frictions with the disciples of the Tiger Martial Arts Pavilion and the Tempest Martial Arts Pavilion, the fast catchers did not fall behind, and they basically returned victorious. On the contrary, the disciples of the two major martial arts halls avoided it when they saw it. Therefore, many catchers put down their bodies and asked the three of them for advice, and they also benefited a lot.

So much so that the martial arts idiot Zheng County Lieutenant was not ashamed to ask and asked the three of them martial arts.

In the end, County Lieutenant Zheng also knocked on the side of the door, and inquired from Zhang Weidong about the way for the three of them to become stronger, but Zhang Weidong was perfunctory.

Hard!

It's still hard work!

Years of hard work!

Then, with some medicated baths that must be soaked for a long time!

When Lieutenant Zheng heard this, he was skeptical, but there was no better explanation. For this reason, he also spent a lot of money to buy medicinal materials for medicinal baths from Zhang Weidong. After soaking for a month, his physique has really improved a lot, which surprised him. Although it does not have the kind of transformation of Zhao Erbao and others, it is stronger than the effect of his martial arts training for half a year.

Now, County Lieutenant Zheng believed it.

In December, the weather turned cold sharply.

The shopkeeper Lin of Tianyun Tea House finally came with good news, and Zhang Weidong's long-awaited 'dark cloud tea' of the Qin State has news. This tea is extraordinary, far better than the 'Three Peaks Jinxia', the difference is that the tea contains several times the vitality, even if it is not as inferior as the worst inferior yuan tea in the immortal cultivation world, but it is also precious on this planet, and it can be called unique.

If you drink it for five or six years for a long time, you can shorten Zhang Weidong's recuperation time by one year. That's a rare point!

Zhang Weidong was impatient to go to South Street, but was a little disappointed.

Shopkeeper Lin did get some 'dark cloud tea', and it was not easy, it was only 3 taels, which was only enough for Zhang Weidong to drink for half a month, to no avail, and it was better than nothing. However, its price is not low, 3 taels of 'dark cloud tea' used Zhang Weidong 1 gold coin and 20 silver coins, and the price of 1 tael is an average of 40 silver coins!

Seeing Zhang Weidong's disappointed look, Shopkeeper Lin was also distressed: "If you want to buy more of this tea, maybe you can only go to Qin State to try your luck." But that's too far, thousands of miles away, and you have to cross the border, enter the Qi State, and then enter the Qin State, which borders the Qi State and the Liu Xiang Dynasty!" )

PS: During the double monthly pass, did anyone smash the ticket? Thank you!
