Chapter 58: The resentful brother has come to the capital

The encounter with the girl of the Xu family is just a small episode in Zhang Yi's life.

He didn't think that he would meet this good-looking little girl again, and after returning to the Taoist temple, Zhang Yi soon returned to his previous peaceful life.

He gets up every day, does tai chi a few times to move his body, and then he is in the house to tinker with his affairs.

With the money in the Taoist temple, many things can be purchased.

What Zhang Yi pays the most attention to is the alchemy room.

Wai Dan technique, but Longhu Mountain passed down to see the family skills, Zhang Normal left Zhang Yi some Dan books, which are also passed down by Longhu Mountain.

It's just that the Dan book is obscure and difficult to understand, and there are secret formulas in it, if it weren't for the master's oral teaching, I guarantee that you know every word on it, but you can't even read it.

However, Zhang Yi didn't care about the content of those Dan Dao, he built this alchemy room just to facilitate him to make something.

On the other hand, Zhang Yi also asked Deng Zhongxiu to find workers and dig a third-level septic tank in the Taoist temple, preparing to make a relatively clean and hygienic environment by himself, and it has always been Zhang Yi's goal to live well in this difficult era.

If you want to ensure that you live well and get halva, you can't escape the words clean and hygienic.

The ancients went to the toilet, unless you are the emperor and the son of a nobleman, otherwise the toilet can make people doubt life.

This pure-minded toilet naturally has nothing to do with the toilet of the aristocratic lord's house, and it can't even be compared to the one in Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Yi covers his nose to go to and from the toilet every day, it's one thing to smell, but this thing is unhygienic?

Hygiene is a matter that will not kill in the future, but in this era, it is likely to kill people, especially a seven- or eight-year-old child like himself, who cannot withstand the torture of infectious diseases.

A diarrhea can send itself away!

After going down the mountain, Zhang Yi decided to make it better, and many of his ideas couldn't wait to be realized.

A toilet with a pumping function can enhance your own small sense of well-being.

It is not difficult to accomplish this goal, it is good to build a small water tower and make a flush toilet, there is a template provided by Zhang Yi, find a private kiln to burn a ......, as for the sewer pipe, there is no problem, the cultural relics unearthed in the Tang Dynasty prove that the ancients have long had a mature technology for making pipes, and there is no need for Zhang Yi to teach them.

It's just that if you want to satisfy your life, what you need most is ...... Money!

"The silver is running out?"

Zhang Yi frowned after listening to Deng Zhongxiu's report that day.

He remembered that he had gotten almost four hundred taels of silver from Zhang Normal and Changfu before and after, plus the materials sent to him by Huang He, how could these things add up to five hundred taels of silver.

These silvers were placed in the early Ming Dynasty, which was about equal to the three-year salary of Liu Bowen, who was later crowned uncle, how long did he come to make it?

Deng Zhongxiu helplessly explained:

"Senior brother, just looking for the thing called the toilet that Master custom-made and burned, it cost a hundred taels of silver before and after, and this is not counting the money for the pipe...... Coupled with the alchemy and medicine materials you purchased, a pharmacy in other people does not consume as much as you...... Here's the list, you see! ”

Deng Zhongxiu handed the list to Zhang Yi to see, he roughly skimmed it, and it was almost dark in front of him.

It seems that the speed at which I spend my money is really fast, but there is no way.

In addition to finding someone to customize porcelain spent a lot of money, Zhang Yi also spent a lot of money on other things, not to mention anything else, he bought a lot of garlic this time, but the progress of research on allicin is not satisfactory, although there is no problem for Zhang Yi in terms of technology, but it takes time and wealth to find the right garlic species.

The tools for extracting allicin, as well as the preliminary preparations needed to make these things, are all things that burn money.

Unconsciously, the small Taoist temple fell into an economic crisis.

"Senior brother, our Taoist temple incense is not prosperous, and it is difficult to even maintain food and clothing, so we must leave some money for food, as well as prepare for the charcoal fire in winter......"

Deng Zhongxiu has experienced the affairs of Changfu since he has been very respectful to Zhang Yi.

He now also takes on the responsibility of the steward of the Taoist temple. The expenditure of the silver of the Taoist temple was all taken care of by Deng Zhongxiu.

Zhang Yi has a headache, this way to make money has not been studied, burning money is burning very fast, it's a pity that he is a little unlucky, allicin has not found a suitable garlic species, if this antibiotic can be made, it is not a dream to make money every day.

But now if you want to continue your research, you have to find a way to make money.

But where to start the first pot of gold, Zhang Yiwei has a lot of cards in his hand, but his identity as a Taoist priest is difficult for him to operate directly without the help of others.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yi found that he still had to find a collaborator to realize the knowledge in his hands.

Just as he was thinking, there was movement outside.

"What about people, in broad daylight, there is not even a receptionist?"

Deng Zhongxiu and Zhang Yi were stunned when they heard this, they were very familiar with this voice.

"Master has come to the capital!"

Deng Zhongxiu left Zhang Yi and hurriedly walked outside, just bumping into Zhang Ming.

"Master!"

"Daddy!"

Who is it who is not Zhang Normal who came?

After not seeing him for nearly two months, Zhang Yi found that his father's figure had lost a few points, and his temples had gray hair.

Although the average life expectancy of the ancients was low, Zhang Normal is less than forty years old this year!

It seems that after returning from the capital, Lao Zhang is really depressed and unhappy.

Hearing Zhang Yi call his father, Lao Zhang turned his head to look at his son, and his expression was also very complicated.

Immediately, he said hello a few times, walked over and patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder.

"If one day, I Dragon and Tiger Mountain regain the position of Heavenly Master, you will be indispensable!"

Zhang said something to Zhang Yi that only the father and son could hear, and Zhang Yi sighed when he saw his reddened eyes.

If you want to get back the Heavenly Master position, it is probably just a normal fantasy.

No one knows Zhu Yuanzhang better than him, and if he wants to change the emperor's will, it is not something that can be done by contributing a smallpox vaccine.

However, it is better to leave him a memory than to let Zhang live normally in guilt and self-blame, and die early because of demons.

"Father has already decided to enter the palace to face the saint?"

"Don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't have time to see me for the time being, I'll see you Uncle Huang first, but you're fine...... Longhu Mountain is full of your affection! ”

"Father, I'm out!"

The father and son communicated, and it was when the love was sincere, Zhang Yi only felt that there was a pair of eyes that made him like a thorn in his back.

He turned his head, but found that Zhang Normal had come to the capital this time and had brought some people over.

Among them is a small figure, which is particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

"Big brother!"

The joy on Zhang Yi's face is from the heart, although he has an adult soul living in his heart, but Zhang Yuchu, as an elder brother, is sincere in his feelings and care, and Zhang Yi also recognizes this big brother in his heart.

He left Zhang Normal and prepared to hug his eldest brother.

Who knows that Zhang Yuchu's face was full of grief and indignation:

"Zhang Yi, you deceive people too much, I fought with you......"
