When Ye Tongxuan returned to the county mansion, it was already night.

Ding Hongru hasn't fallen asleep yet, today's demon monkey invasion can be big or small, but after all, there is a problem in Qingshi County under his jurisdiction, and it is impossible for the Ye family to have no statement.

Especially his direct boss Ye Tongxuan is here, and he is not sure how to deal with it.

Seeing Ye Tongxuan return to the county mansion, Ding Hongru hurriedly got up to greet him, "Thank you Immortal Master for helping and saving the people of Qingshi County from fire and water." If the immortal master is not here today, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Ye Tongxuan nodded coldly, a little displeased. Qingshi County has a population of 10,000 or 20,000, but it is so lax in defense that it actually let a mid-level demon beast of qi refining break in.

Although this accident made him know the secret of the spirit wine, such negligence could not be facilitated.

"Before, Ding County Ling was full of confidence and didn't take this demon beast to heart." Ye Tongxuan's tone was indifferent, and he said a little sarcastically.

Ding Hongru's face was bitter, and fine beads of sweat secreted from his somewhat smooth head, "My lord, this matter is the fault of the lower officials. I didn't expect the demon beast that broke in this time to be so powerful.

The lower officials will definitely punish the defenders who guard the city gates, and will increase the intensity of the guards in the future. Guarantee that this will not happen again next time. ”

He also has words of suffering. The Ye family continues to reduce the expenses of Qingshi County, but the annual taxes paid to the family are getting heavier and heavier year by year.

The taxes received by the Ye family were not only spiritual stones, spiritual objects, but also silver. Needless to say, the spirit stones and spiritual objects were used to pay the Ye family monks and use them for cultivation.

The silver received by the Ye family was paid to mortals like Ding Hongru who worked for the Ye family. After all, they also have to make ends meet.

Faced with this situation, Ding Hongru had no choice but to continue to reduce personnel expenses. He didn't dare to reduce the income of the monks, so he could only use knives against ordinary people, and as a result, the number of garrisons in Qingshi County also decreased year after year.

In fact, Ye Tongxuan also understands that this matter cannot be completely blamed on Ding Hongru. All he wanted to do was take the opportunity to knock it out.

Because of his youth, when he came to Jiutai Mountain to take office, he would definitely be despised by some subordinates. This matter is just an opportunity to knock on these subordinates in Qingshi County.

"Ding County Order doesn't have to blame himself too much, I also know the difficulties of Qingshi County, and now it is indeed a difficult time, and we need to work together to tide over the difficulties.

For this incident, I will explain the situation to the family and ask the family to send more people. Ye Tongxuan said.

Seeing that Ye Tongxuan did not continue to blame, Ding Hongru secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Ye Tongxuan didn't stay long, and said, "It's not early, let's go back and rest." ”

After that, Ye Tongxuan returned to the room arranged for him by Ding Hongru.

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning of the next day, He Gang came to find Ye Tongxuan with spirit wine.

Ye Tongxuan didn't say anything, let alone tell Ding Hongru, but just brought He Gang into his house.

He Gang offered the wine he brought and said, "Immortal Master Ye, this is the spirit wine that my father developed a few days ago. ”

Although the demon monkey wreaked havoc on the wine shop, some of the He family's spirit wine was still preserved.

The jar opened, and a rich aroma wafted in, which soon filled the room. He Gang poured a cup and handed it to Ye Tongxuan.

Ye Tongxuan swept it with his divine sense, found no problem, took a sip, and then his complexion changed, and he directly swallowed all the remaining spirit wine in one gulp. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Good wine!" ”

Then he asked, "What is the yield of this kind of wine?" ”

The quality of the He family's spirit wine is not bad, although it does not reach the first-order middle grade, but it is better than the first-order lower grade. If it can be mass-produced in the future, it will be able to sell at a good price.

He Gang replied: "My father just prepared this spirit wine a few days ago, but before he could tell us, he suddenly suffered a catastrophe. I only know a general direction for blending this kind of spirit wine. Nowadays, only this spirit wine is produced. ”

As he spoke, He Gang opened another jar of spirit wine that he had brought over. The quality of this altar of spirit wine is obviously not as good as the previous altar, and it seems that it is only a first-order lower grade.

Ye Tongxuan was a little disappointed, if he could mass-produce the first altar of spirit wine, it would be a lot of income, but if he could only mass-produce first-order spirit wine, the income would naturally be much less.

However, Ye Tongxuan thought about it, the income of the first-order low-grade spirit wine was already quite a lot, after all, this recipe was developed by mortals. It's good to be able to get to this point.

Seeing that his spirit wine had been affirmed, He Gang said relaxedly: "He Gang is willing to hand over the recipe to the Ye family. ”

Ye Tongxuan nodded and said, "You have merit to the Ye family, and the Ye family will not treat you badly." The market in Qingshi County is limited, and it is not a place to stay for a long time. I will write a letter, you take it with you to Yunling Peak, and the family will not treat you badly. ”

He Gang hurriedly said, "Thank you, Immortal Master." ”

"How much spirit wine is left in the shop? I bought them all. Ye Tongxuan asked as if he had thought of something.

"Where does the immortal master say, the immortal master will help me take revenge, there is no need to do this. There are also ten jars of spirit wine and two jars of craft wine in the shop. In the afternoon, I sent it to the immortal master. He Gang said busily.

"You don't have to send it, I'll go over and pick it up later." Ye Tongxuan stopped.

After arranging He Gang's affairs, Ye Tongxuan handwrote a letter to He Gang and asked him to leave for Ye's house in the near future.

After He Gang left, he wrote another letter and passed it to Ye Shoushan with a carrier pigeon, explaining the matter of Lingjiu.

The reason why he didn't write the letter directly to the patriarch was because Ye Shoushan was currently his boss after all, and it was easy to cause distrust by reporting the news to Ye Shoushan.

Ye Shoushan's loyalty to the family is naturally not doubtful.

After dealing with the affairs of Qingshi County, it was time for Ye Tongxuan to leave for Jiutai Mountain. He came to the county mansion and said goodbye to Ding Hongru.

"Immortal Master, don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to set up a banquet to see you off." Ding Hongru said.

Ye Tongxuan waved his hand, "Don't be so troublesome. I'll leave later, you can manage Qingshi County well. ”

Seeing that Ye Tongxuan refused to stay for a long time, Ding Hongru did not force it, he said that he had a little heart and hoped that Ye Tongxuan would accept it.

Then, he took out a palm-sized box, "Immortal Master, this is the prescription I entrusted the old doctor in the county to catch to ensure that the medicine is cured." ”

Ye Tongxuan was a little puzzled, but when he saw this box, he thought that he seemed to be forced to buy a box of similar ointment a few days ago, and suddenly realized, and then his face became a little ugly.

"Ding County Ling is afraid that he has misunderstood something, you take this back, I can't use it." After speaking, he took the lead in walking out of the county mansion.

Ding Hongru, who was left alone, was a little puzzled, but seeing Ye Tongxuan's ugly face, he must have slapped the horse's leg on the horse's leg, and immediately did not catch up.

He Gang took the three jars of wine and went to the medical hall and saw Xia Jingshan, who was still recuperating.

"Immortal Master Ye asked me to come over and bring you spirit wine." He Gang put the wine down and said.

Ye Tongxuan still spent money to buy He Gang's spirit wine, after all, as a monk, there was no need for him to take advantage of a mortal.

Then, he said, "Immortal Master Ye also asked me to give me a word: before the spirit wine comes out, these wines must not be sold. ”

Xia Jingshan didn't expect Ye Tongxuan to really fulfill his promise, and nodded: "The old man knows." ”

For this young man who did what he said, Xia Jingshan couldn't help but look up a few more times.
