Fang Chongyong has always believed that the friendship and exchanges between people need carriers. It is real, not an ethereal emotion and gratitude.

It's as if the emperor has no force, but he can restrain those arrogant border town generals. The emperor relied on a perfect state system, abundant and timely logistical supplies, an airtight supervision system in the border army, and a top-down law of respect and humility.

These are all tangible things, and there are countless people and things as carriers and channels.

When the country is in chaos, the structure of the state will be greatly weakened, the logistics system will become fragmented, and the supervision system will become better than nothing. The people and things that carry the majesty of the emperor no longer exist, so the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals will emerge in endlessly, and if they are slightly dissatisfied, they will take the knife to Chang'an City to ask the Son of Heaven for their guilt.

The "friendship" and "correspondence" between the emperor and his generals also need these visible and invisible carriers. It's not that if someone becomes an emperor in Chang'an, the border army outside and even the forbidden army will really treat him as an emperor.

The exercise of power requires carriers and channels, which are the "secrets that cannot be spoken" hidden in the power system.

In the Kaiyuan period, Ji Ge firmly controlled similar carriers and channels, so he could point fingers at government affairs at will.

Now that he is talking secretly with Xiao Jiong in the study of Hexi Jiedu Mansion, Fang Chongyong also really feels the power of this "carrier".

Xiao Jiong, who has no talent and was dismissed because of the "white letter" incident, was originally a big salted fish that was not worth talking about.

However, once he has the power blessing of the Hexi Jiedu envoy, he can become majestic.

Of course, it is not Xiao Jiong himself who is majestic, but the authority of the state system!

"What does Fang Senjun have to say, he can say it now."

Xiao Jiong said quietly. He knew that Fang Chongyong was not here to get close to him.

"This prescription, Xiao Jieshuai might as well take a look at it first."

Fang Chongyong took out the prescription that had been prepared a long time ago from his cuff and handed it to Xiao Jiong.

He was planning to come here, but the person he talked to changed from the expected Cui Xiyi to Xiao Jiong.

In fact, from the very beginning, Fang Chongyong understood that if this prescription did not have the credibility endorsement of the Hexi Jiedu envoy, it was very likely that Brother Ji would not take it seriously!

Even if he is the son of Fang Youde, Brother Ji is likely to treat it as a joke and throw it aside.

"This ...... Seems kind of interesting. ”

Xiao Jiong said casually, using such ambiguous words to cover up his ignorance.

In fact, he couldn't see what kind of disease this prescription was curing at all, not to mention that there were only types of drugs on it, and there was no drug ratio.

The clever blending of traditional Chinese medicine is "one disease and one party", and there is no duplicate. If the same disease is contracted by different people, it is very likely that the prescription will need to be fine-tuned.

A clever doctor, prescribing the same prescription, as long as he fine-tunes the ratio of a certain drug, can go from saving people to killing people.

Xiao Jiong still knows this simple truth.

Xiao Jieshuai may not understand what this prescription means to a saint. My father is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so he is also very concerned about what the saint wants and wants.

Is this recipe what Xiao Jieshuai is looking for? ”

Fang Chongyong asked with a smile, in that way, it seemed that he had seen through all of Xiao Jiong's intentions!

"Uh......"

Xiao Jiong felt as if he was being pinched. He can resist, but it doesn't seem necessary, it's better to listen to what the other party has to say.

"Xiao Jieshuai, don't you want to go to Dunhuang and look for those strange recipes in the Western Regions?"

"That's impossible......

was broken by humanity, Xiao Jiong said curtly.

What a contribution can be made in Hexi! He's not a fool!

There are so many elite soldiers and strong generals here, almost concentrating the essence of the Tang Dynasty border army. In Li Longji's view, it is appropriate to win the battle against the Tibetans; If you lose, you will be beaten hard!

Xiao Jiong's all his hopes are on this formula. As long as Brother Ji is blessed and his body is great, then his fame and fortune can be guaranteed.

As for whether the Hexi Frontier Army can win...... So what's the matter with him?

As long as the Tubo people can't conquer the city in Hexi, there is nothing wrong with him as a festival envoy, and by pleasing Brother Ji, he can also return to the center and be a Beijing official comfortably!

Now that I'm being pinched by a demonic half-grown child, this feeling is quite subtle.

"This recipe can actually be handed over to Xiao Jieshuai, and it itself is of no use to me. It's just that it can't be handed over to the festival marshal at will and willfully, so is what I think. ”

Fang Chongyong is quick to talk, and he doesn't want to talk about any moral ideals with a mercenary person like Xiao Jiong.

Talking about interests directly, people like Xiao Jiong can understand it better.

"Okay, what do you want to do when you join the army?"

Xiao Jiong nodded slightly and said, not daring to treat the other party as a half-grown child anymore. In these years, the power of the Tang prodigy is still very frightening, Liu Yan wrote a sacrifice to Brother Ji at the age of ten to worship Mount Tai, and Li Mi talked and laughed with the bachelor of the center at the age of nine.

Xiao Jiong is also well-informed, and he doesn't think that Fang Chongyong's talent is outrageous.

It's really strong, but it's also within the limits of human comprehension.

"After the medicine is dispensed, Xiao Jieshuai must use this medicine as auspicious in the name of Hexi Jiedu Mansion and present it to the saint."

Fang Chongyong made a "strange" request.

"In the name of Hexi Jiedu Mansion......"

Xiao Jiong was silent, he originally wanted to go in in his own name, but now he has become the name of the local festival envoy, which seems to be reasonable!

No matter how mediocre Li Longji is, he can't say that he can't understand who caused something.

"What else? It doesn't seem like it's good for you, right? ”

Xiao Jiong asked with some curiosity.

"The second requirement requires Xiao Jieshuai to order, this recipe is auspicious, only saints can enjoy it, and if others sell this medicine, they need to be fined and punished!"

Fang Chongyong put forward his second request, which was also a bit "strange".

However, his approach is also in line with the old rules of paying tribute to Chang'an from all over the country.

Goods from one place that are designated as tribute are usually not allowed to be sold elsewhere on a large scale. It's okay to make a small fuss, but if someone reports it or the scale of the sale is too large, the government will also punish it.

To sum it up with a simple reason: the health care and aphrodisiac that Brother Ji uses every day, you grass people actually want to follow the trend, do you want to "cultivate Jackie Chan"?

Or do you want to have an emperor in your family?

This kind of thing is not easy to explain, and it is not clear to explain. In short, this prescription and medicine can only be used by those who receive the reward after Li Longji's "imperial gift"!

Otherwise, it's a bad plot!

This is one of the majesty of imperial power. The emperor's superiority is reflected through one rule after another.

"Do you want to...... Selling medicine in the Western Regions? ”

Xiao Jiong suddenly realized, and finally understood Fang Chongyong's train of thought.

In Datang, it is indeed inappropriate for ordinary people to use such a "royal medicine". However, there is no such problem in the Western Regions.

Fang Chongyong used the rules to play a "side ball".

"These medicinal materials are all produced in the surrounding areas of Baiting Sea. Therefore, it is not me myself who wants to sell medicine, but Bai Tingjun who wants to sell medicine.

Later, it is not excluded that other armies in Liangzhou will be involved. For example, the Chishui Army. ”

Fang Chongyong said indifferently.

This is such a deep pit!

Xiao Jiong gasped, he didn't expect Fang Chongyong to play so big.

This time, if you don't agree, you have to agree!

blocked the financial path of the border army, and it was not just a few people who were offended, but a group of people! The medicine used by the Jige royal is likely to become a "specialty" in Hexi, and it is sold to various places through the hands of merchants in the Western Regions.

The good things used by the emperor, I took the risk of bullying the emperor and sold them to you, and I overcharged you dozens of times, isn't it too much?

The so-called people do not raise officials and do not hold accountable, and the army on the west side of the river has come up and down to intervene, who dares to care about this matter?

Besides, this kind of thing comes quickly and you don't have to pretend to be a thief to kill people, it can be regarded as a way to make a fortune out of nothing! Xiao Jiong pushed himself and others, feeling that the military envoys of the Hexi Corridor should not oppose this matter, but would only actively participate in it.

You must know that this kind of medicine, as long as it is a mature and golden man, will not refuse.

The good things that Brother Ji is using, who can have a more precious life than Brother Ji?

Xiao Jiong found that Fang Chongyong's move was really a ring after a ring, and everyone could only follow his routine and finish this game!

Thinking about it the other way, the border army has made floating money and can buy war horses.

The saint received health medicine, and his life was more blessed and faster.

As an envoy of Hexi Festival, he has contributed medicine and prescriptions, and it is not a problem to be promoted to become rich.

And the merchants of the Western Regions in Hexi have another local specialty, and the medicine does not occupy the volume or weight, and it is exported to other places, and it can also get a lot of money!

This game is simply a classic win-win game, and no one will stand up against it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiong suddenly felt a chill in his back! Fang Chongyong is still a half-grown child, and he is already so old and mellow in his work. What will he become when he grows up?

Xiao Jiong couldn't think deeply.

But now he can't help it, he can't refuse this matter at all, otherwise he will offend all the armies in Hexi to death, how can this festival envoy continue?

"How sure are you of this prescription?"

Xiao Jiong asked in a deep voice, and he had already tacitly accepted the "small game" laid out by Fang Chongyong in his heart.

"Basically, nine out of ten. Medical Officer Li is formulating the medicine, and some people are trying the medicine, and before the saint's birthday, there should be eyebrows. ”

Fang Chongyong said directly with a ticket, without a trace of hesitation.

Having said that, you can't be soft, especially in the face of a mercenary person like Xiao Jiong!

"Understood, what do you need, this section commander has full support."

Xiao Jiong suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried his best to maintain the calm on his face.

"I need a lot of medicinal materials, and I also ask the Hexi Jiedu Mansion to issue a decree on the purchase of medicinal materials."

Fang Chongyong said in a deep voice, not getting carried away.

In fact, there is no need to hand over this matter to Xiao Jiong to do, doing so is just to convince the other party. In addition, Fang Chongyong had other ideas, and without a large number of medicinal materials, he couldn't play with them.

"That's easy to say."

Xiao Jiong nodded slightly and said.

He naturally understands that if the horse wants to run well, it must also let the horse eat good grass. If there are no medicinal herbs, then how can you prepare a prescription?

So-and-so took his leave. Xiao Jieshuai shouldn't tell the right minister about this, right? ”

Fang Chongyong hinted explicitly.

Xiao Jiong was slightly stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "It's impossible not to let the right minister know, but you can tell the right minister later, and then this matter can't be stopped, and the right minister can only accept it." ”

Of course Xiao Jiong thought about Li Linfu's matter, how could he give up the opportunity to please Brother Ji to Li Linfu?

However, these "detailed operations", as long as there is a time difference, let the news of Hexi reach Ji Ge's ears in advance, and then Li Linfu will be too late even if he wants to stop or invite credit.

"In this way, I can rest assured, then this matter is handled by Xiao Jieshuai, and it has nothing to do with this half-grown child, right?"

Fang Chongyong asked with a smile.

Xiao Jiong was slightly stunned, and then understood Fang Chongyong's worries. The so-called "no desire is rigid", if the person in the layout has no thoughts about the people and things in the game, then he is almost invincible!

"That's natural, Fang joined the army...... What a teenage hero. ”

Xiao Jiong saluted and bowed convincingly. He doesn't have any ink in his stomach, but that doesn't mean he can't even look at people!

"I can't ride a tall horse, and I can't lift a knife. Isn't it ridiculous and generous to say that young heroes are heroic. A certain is just a yellow-mouthed kid who is a little clever, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. ”

Fang Chongyong was politely humble, and then thanked him and left Hexi Jiedu Mansion.

After he left, Xiao Jiong looked at his back and sighed: "Advance and retreat freely, many children of families who have been officials for many years are not as good as you." ”

Xiao Jiong felt a sense of powerlessness that "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach".

……

After coming to the hospital to see Anaye, Fang Chongyong told Anaye what he promised to Xiao Jiong.

As a result, this Hexi native girl of Western Regions descent exclaimed: "You are crazy! ”

worked hard to make a prescription, and finally sent it to the emperor, and gave all the credit to the newly appointed Hexi Jiedu envoy who had no favor to himself at all! Fang Chongyong's approach looks no different from a fool!

Seeing Fang Chongyong's indifferent look, Anaye was about to cry urgently.

"I keep the prescription and wait for the emperor's grace?"

Fang Chongyong asked rhetorically.

Anaya was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and muttered, "It seems that the emperor's gift is useless. ”

The people in Hexi did not have a personal experience of the power of imperial power. If it is in Chang'an, when someone hears Fang Chongyong say this, they will immediately find that this is a way to "soar and soar"!

The so-called high mountains and emperors are far away, and this is the reason why the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people.

"There's really something wrong with the prescription, isn't it good to have a Hexi Jiedu envoy in front of you?"

Fang Chongyong asked rhetorically again.

"You can speak with this mouth......"

Anaye couldn't tell him, and complained like a broken thought. In fact, there is nothing else, she just feels that Fang Chongyong is too easy to bully, and others will take what she has mastered!

"Ten thousand birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand. Those who can see the benefits that can't be obtained, it's best to take the initiative to let them out, there is no need to get them all in there. ”

Fang Chongyong waved his hand and instructed Anaye: "I still have something to talk about with your father, you go and rest first." ”

Anaye's expression darkened, then nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

……

In the pharmacy, Dr. Li handed a very detailed prescription to Fang Chongyong and said, "That's basically it." ”

This recipe not only has the ratio of various medicinal materials, but even the method of taking it is clearly written.

"No, it's too much trouble to decoction. This medicine is best fried and brewed with boiling water, and there is no need to pursue the best efficacy. ”

Fang Chongyong directly pointed out the biggest problem in this formula!

Health products, how can it be inconvenient to eat?

Brother Ji is interested in brewing a pair of medicines and drinking them, which is the minimum requirement for similar health care drugs!

"Boiling water?"

Doctor Li was stunned, feeling that Fang Chongyong was opening his mouth.

"Yes, if it can be made into pills, it would be even better. But I found this more difficult, so I had to settle for the next best thing. ”

Fang Chongyong said solemnly.
