Mao Tao interjected and asked: "By the way, wasn't Songyang Mansion originally created by a prince with a different surname, why did it become the Marquis of Songyang now?" ”

"Oh, that's because my country has changed the system, and if you don't have merit, you will be demoted to hereditary. There were two mediocre lords of Songyang Mansion, and the title was lowered. Until the first emperor ascended the throne, he changed the system back. It's complicated to say, anyway, the Marquis of Songyang will be hereditary in the future, and he won't change it if he doesn't commit a major incident. ”

To solve the problem of repairing broken knives, He Lingchuan put forward new requirements to Deputy Liu:

Buy Dan furnace.

In the future, he will major in "Meridian Jue", which requires special medicines, and it is difficult to buy ready-made pills, so he will have to rely on his own hands. I heard that the Dan furnace is also divided into many levels, and a good furnace can increase the success rate by more than one percent.

Like the previous time, Deputy Liu also agreed, and then asked He Lingchuan: "Do you know how to do alchemy, or do you have this master by your side?" ”

"Pure newbie. Aren't I going to buy a stove and go back, and now I am learning and pondering? ”

"Dan Dao is difficult to learn, this scientific name, medicinal properties, heat, and technique, you can't succeed without concentrating on practicing for three or four years, and you have to refine countless drugs in the middle." Deputy Liu smiled, "It's not uncomfortable." ”

He Lingchuan heard that there was something outside his words: "I must be the only one who is uncomfortable?" ”

"The practice is long, and the big people don't want to be distracted. I suggest you hire a medicine ape to go back. ”

"Medicine Ape?" He Lingchuan was surprised, "What is this?" Monster? ”

The prosperous capital is indeed full of new things.

"Yes, there is a Dao Gate called Qianxinliu, and it is full of fire apes. It also has branches in our country, and is especially famous for alchemy. Customers in need can pay a lot of money to hire the medicine ape home to refine the medicine for themselves. ”

"How's the level?"

"It's the Dan Dao magician, and it's often excessive. I heard that Sun Guoshi used to have several medicine apes in his family. ”

He Lingchuan smiled: "Sun Fuping is really a golden signboard, and he makes money when he gets involved." ”

Deputy Liu hurriedly waved his hand: "Now this can't be said publicly." ”

"Take me then."

"It's just that the price is higher, and the medicine ape hired back must be promised as an offering, not to be taken lightly, let alone regarded as a slave, otherwise it can leave at any time."

Mao Tao raised her chin: "Money is a trivial matter, as long as it is worth the money." ”

"The word 'thing' can't refer to the medicine ape in person, otherwise it will turn against you." Deputy Liu reminded, "I've seen people who provoke the medicine ape, it really makes people's faces bloom in front of them, and they are scarce in the next three days." ”

Co-authored to raise one more little monkey, and be careful when you speak? He Lingchuan and Mao Tao glanced at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

The carriage turned in a different direction and headed north of the city.

After passing through the market, Mao Tao, who had been watching from the curtains, suddenly said: "Hey, isn't that the head of Lao Mo's side?" He's sticking something to the wall. ”

He Lingchuan looked at it, and sure enough, it was the little servant at home, Ah Deng, who was pasting a notice on the poster wall, followed by two sergeants.

Deputy Liu immediately called to stop the carriage.

The market is full of people, and when the official family has news to announce the whole city, they will come to this place to post. But on the other hand, only official articles are allowed here, not all cats and dogs can come and post things, otherwise they will be caught and slapped twenty times, and the impact will be thrown into the class room no matter how bad the impact is.

The He family can come here to post it, of course, with official consent.

The words in the proclamation are very large, and the top three words are still bold and enlarged, and Mao Tao muttered aloud:

"Merit Order?"

There are not many words, He Lingchuan read it with two eyes, and the content is to the effect that He Chunhua, the new governor of Xiazhou, is eager to recruit local wise men to go north and fight the rebels together. Regardless of background, eclectic, but there is a real talent in marching, control, fighting, and internal affairs, you can come to take the exam, and the treatment is from Youyunyun, and at the end, there is the official seal of the governor of Xiazhou.

Most civilians don't know two big characters, so Ah Deng, a small guy of the He family, has to act as a speaker, read the recruitment order to everyone, and then answer questions.

He Chunhua's target group is not these people, but hopes to spread the news as soon as possible through their mouths, after all, the time for the Response Army to stay in Shihuan is limited.

There are more and more onlookers, He Chunhua is an official from other places, he has rarely heard of it before, everyone thinks it is rare, and it is inevitable to gossip. He Lingchuan saw that the road was getting more and more blocked, so he asked the carriage to get on the road as soon as possible.

Mao Tao was puzzled: "Why don't Lord He bring some people from Blackwater City, then you still know the roots, but you want to 'seek talents' here?" ”

He Chun went north to the north, and originally had five or six staff members around him, but he only brought a Mo Zhen Jingxuan. There are even fewer talents in internal affairs and logistics.

"Small place, few talents, right?" He Lingchuan supported himself with his hand, "After all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what kind of character is not?" ”

He remembers that his father was always complaining about the lack of manpower and that he had to do everything himself. This time he went to Xiazhou, He Chunhua wanted to set up his own team in the shortest possible time, and it was the key to take precautions and reserve talents.

After all, there are enemies in the north, and there is not much time left for He Chunhua and Xiazhou.

"I hope my father will recruit the right talent as soon as possible."

He Lingchuan shook his head, and instantly put this concern behind him.

It's none of his business, leave it to He Chunhua and He Yue to have a headache.

Soon, the carriage drove up a hill.

The mountain peak is very delicate, the altitude is up to 30 zhang, at this time it is covered in silver, and it is common to see the branches swaying and the snow falling.

The carriage was stopped by a torii archway.

It's not that the groom doesn't want to drive up the mountain, but the torii is only six feet high, but the width is so wide that it takes up the entire mountain road.

This archway is really lacking in morality, as if it wants to buy road money.

He Lingchuan saw several stone urns with unique shapes standing on the stone archway from a distance, and when he got closer, he found that it was not a stone, but a big gray-skinned monkey with a very similar color to the stone!

They shrank their heads and tails to stand on the archway, stunned like a wooden chicken, and someone approached the urn and said: "Qianxinliu Pavilion, come and walk!" ”

Helper Liu got out of the car and handed a few pieces of halva to an old monkey with gray hair, and distributed it to the other monkeys, before he said, "Sugar man, I won't see you for three days." This time, I want to hire a pharmacist for the eldest son of Lord He, the governor of Xiazhou! ”

He does not call monkeys apes, but pharmacists.

"Do you usually refine medicines?"

"Nature." He Lingchuan answered, "It's an average of once every two or three days." ”

Practicing the Meridian Formula requires him to take the fresher the Yin and Yang Powder, the better, so that the medicinal properties can be brought into full play. He Lingchuan himself wished that he could eat half a month by refining a furnace, but if he had a helper to refine medicine, this requirement should be easily achieved.

Deputy Liu explained to him: "Fire control alchemy is an important practice of the fire ape, and Qianxinliu hopes that the fire ape sent out can be brave and diligent in the cultivation. Then he turned to the old monkey, "Which medicine man is available in the building?" ”

"It's unfortunate that you guys came, a big medicine store from another place just came over, and hired twelve people in one go." The old monkey Sugar Man scratched his back, "Now there is only one pharmacist left." ”

Mao Tao immediately whispered to Assistant Liu: "It shouldn't be leftovers, right?" ”

The old monkey's hair was white, not only did he not have his ears back, but he was very keen, and then he stared at him with round eyes and said, "What nonsense is the kid talking about!" ”

"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"

Deputy Liu coughed lightly: "Sugar man, the two parties must negotiate on an equal footing, and do not lie or deceive." Is there anything special about this pharmacist? ”

Employment is a two-sided matter, one has to fight, the other has to take, and we have to understand each other.

"The Dan technique is excellent, there are very few failed furnaces, and he is the best of all the fire apes here."

If the refining of medicine is broken, it is called a ruined furnace. The cost of high-grade pills is very high, and a broken furnace may cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Deputy Liu asked tentatively: "Is that eating too much?" ”

"No, no."

"Do you like to be clean and smelly?" Monkeys smell on their bodies, and if they don't take a bath, they will be even more fat, and some people can't stand it.

"How is that possible!" Sugar Weng glared, "All the stinky problems you thought were gone." He is also the most diligent and intelligent child we have here, and he just happened to be out of town, so he was not hired. ”

The old monkey jumped to the ground: "Come here, I'll show you it." ”

The archway was very low, and He Lingchuan was not good at jumping directly in front of these monkeys, so he had to bend over and drill through.

The monkeys looked at each other with a smile, some with bared teeth.

Human beings have to bow their heads and bow their waists when they cross the archway, which satisfies the bad psychology of this group of monkeys.

There are only a few buildings on the mountain, large and empty. He Lingchuan looked up and found that there were tree houses on several large trees, and there were shadows swaying on the nearby branches.

Yes, monkeys like to stay in the trees.

Sugar Man shouted a few times at the tree, and soon there was a chirping sound from above, and then an ape climbed down the tree and landed on the branch in front of everyone.

The monkey had a more colourful coat than his counterpart, and wore a hat on his head.

He Lingchuan saw that it was thin and small, agile, its fur was exceptionally clean, and its eyes were also very smart, unlike ordinary monkeys dripping around, but after sweeping through everyone, he locked on He Lingchuan, as if he knew that he was the point.

Sugar Weng introduced He Lingchuan's identity to it, and the latter asked:

"Your name is Lingguang?"

The monkey nods, does not scratch its ears and cheeks, and looks as calm as a human.

"Mr. Sugar Man recommends you to be my medicine ape. I have a few medicinal herbs here, how about you help me refine the Thousand Ding Pills? ”

Lingguang knew that this was his own entry test, so he jumped to the ground very simply, and somewhere he took out a stove that was too small to slap and put on the ground.

The stove slowly grows larger until it is shoulder level with the peach.

Then it stretched out its hand to He Lingchuan.

In the case of the ape, its palms are very clean, without a single bit of sand and leaf cuttings.

After taking the medicinal herbs, it quickly grabbed a few handfuls and threw them into the furnace, not at all like He Lingchuan who measured them carefully and did not dare to make a mistake.

Then the monkey blew on the bottom of the stove, and with a "whew" sound, the stove burst into flames.

No wonder it's called a fire ape.

Next, the monkey controlled the fire from time to time, the color of the flame was sometimes dark and sometimes light, and from time to time some medicinal herbs were thrown in, so fast that others almost failed to see clearly.
