Chapter 552: Refining Falsehood (12)
Three months is not a long time.
But the difference that three months brings is enormous.
With the help of Ding Yun's elixir and the promise of two pills that could help his parents rejuvenate.
Qin Xuming finally lost weight in three months, from two hundred and eighty pounds to one hundred and forty pounds.
Hit it in half.
Although it is more important than when he was young, after all, he was pure thin when he was young, the kind of youthful and slender with basically no muscles, and now he is undressed and fleshy, one hundred and forty pounds and a rejuvenating face, as well as the good skin given to him by various beauty pills, is more pleasing to the eye than when he was young.
This change is not only very satisfying for Ding Yun.
Qin Xuming was also very satisfied.
The whole person seems to be much more confident.
Although he was not inferior in the past, when he saw some young people, he still couldn't help but sigh that the years were unforgiving, and he missed the past.
Now that he doesn't have to miss it, he has returned to his former appearance, how can he not be happy?
And Ding Yun saw that the time was ripe.
Naturally, she immediately sent someone to distribute invitations, inviting all those in the imperial capital who were qualified to be invited by her to participate in her Pindan grand meeting and talk about Xuanpindan and Taoism together.
Even the monks such as the Heavenly Master Dao, who heard that the eldest princess had achieved success in cultivation and specially went to Beijing to inquire about the news, received an invitation letter from Ding Yun, in short, there were many people invited by Ding Yun this time, and there were so many that the princess's mansion couldn't let go, so the location was specially set in a royal courtyard in the suburbs.
It was given to the original body by Emperor Pingzhao.
It's not as delicate as it is, but it's better than the area.
The courtyard can run horses, the pond in the courtyard can swim in the boat and pick lotus, the banquet of 1,800 people can be easily relaxed, and even several venues can be separated to separate the male and female guests, so that they do not disturb each other, reduce trouble, and so on.
And as she sent out these invitations, all the people who received them could be said to be excited.
And actively prepare for the Pindan event.
Because as early as a few months ago, that is, when Emperor Pingzhao had just rejuvenated, there were many people in the imperial capital who wanted to see Ding Yun, wanted to curry favor with Ding Yun, and wanted to ask Ding Yun if there was any rejuvenation medicine for sale, if it weren't for the fact that she was the eldest princess, her status was high enough, and no one dared to threaten or something, I don't know what would happen.
It's just that Ding Yun hasn't paid much attention to them, or directly perfunctory, and has never sent out a single pill, so they are scratching and thinking about it in their hearts, longing, but helpless and painful.
Now the eldest princess personally sent an invitation to invite them.
It is even clearly said that it is a Pindan event.
How can they not be excited, can they not be excited, can they not fantasize that they too have a chance to get a panacea.
However, in addition to being excited, they also quickly became busy, busy studying Taoist scriptures, understanding Danshu and the like, and busy asking some Taoist priests what it means to talk about the Tao and how to talk about the Tao of the Xuan.
I hope that I can learn some fur by myself, and if I can talk to the eldest princess at that time, or even talk about it, then the chance of obtaining the elixir will undoubtedly increase many times at once, isn't it wonderful?
If you get appreciated, you will become a Taoist friend or something.
It's even more incredible.
For a while, the Taoist priests in the imperial capital have become a rarity, and I don't know how many people are vying to invite them into the mansion to teach them, but Ding Yun, who received the news, couldn't cry or laugh, because she really said it so casually.
She always can't say bluntly that she is going to hold a new drug launch conference or something, and invite them to come over and sell medicines.
That's why I used to talk about the Tao of Metaphors.
Make your banquet look less philistine.
Who knew that they were still serious, and they wanted to talk to her so hard at the banquet about the mysteries and pay attention.
It's just that the words have been spoken, and it's not good for him to refute the rumors or anything, so he can only remember this lesson, and be honest in the future, and stop talking nonsense about face-saving projects.
Regarding this matter, Emperor Ping Zhao also came here and asked Ding Yun if he could also participate, and then Ding Yun had no choice but to tell the truth:
"Father, don't join in the fun.
I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, in fact, I asked them to come over and talk about whether the Tao is false or not, just to show them a few pills, and want to sell some pills to make them earn more silver taels, so that I can send people to set up post stations and go to all parts of the country to collect more rare medicinal materials.
If you go, they won't let go.
So don't go to join in the fun, if you want any pills to tell me directly, and most of the pills sold this time are pills for conditioning the body, beautifying and nourishing the skin, even if you can rejuvenate, it is only a superficial rejuvenation, and does not increase life. ”
In the past, how did those ministers still spend money recklessly, although Ding Yun didn't break the words and crumpled them, but Emperor Pingzhao also immediately understood, and said with a smile:
"If you spend so much, why don't you make a decree and let the officials from all over the country cooperate, and save trouble!"
"No, Father, I spend my own money to collect medicinal herbs, and that can only be regarded as my personal act at best.
But if you give an order to let local officials do this, you don't know how much trouble you will cause, and if there are local officials who deceive their superiors and subordinates again, and take this opportunity to exploit the people, it will cause resentment among the people, and in the end, it may even add another layer of taxes to the people.
So you should not meddle in this matter.
Let me do it myself.
In the end, the impact of private business practices will be smaller. ”
In this year, the emperor above will drink one or two teas, and the lower may levy one thousand catties and ten thousand catties of tea, and one or two of them will be sent to the palace or something, and in the end, the 1,000 catties and 10,000 catties of tea will not be borne by the people.
The same is true for asking local officials to cooperate in finding medicinal herbs.
In the end, it has to be spread to the people, and what is spread to the people is not the point that the emperor wants.
This kind of thing cannot be completely eradicated.
When Emperor Ping Zhao heard this, his face turned dark at first, and then he sighed helplessly: "Alas~~"
"Yes, I forgot even what you know, some local officials, no taxes can be forcibly made up and collected, not to mention some taxes, I don't think about it, then I won't interfere in this matter, if there is anything in the process, just tell my father.
I'll do my best to help......"
"Don't worry, father, I can still be polite to you, last time those body-conditioning pills are almost finished, wait for a while I have time to refine another batch and send it to the palace, and don't forget to exercise the body forging technique."
"Got it, then you're busy, I still have a lot of twists and turns that haven't been reviewed, so I'll go back to the palace first!"
"Congratulations to my father!"
