May 20, a new sunny.

Hong Fan rode the red flag and went out of the northeast gate of Xijing City.

This is exactly the direction of Tianpeng Mountain.

After traveling thirty miles, he raised his eyes and looked forward to seeing the distant mountains green and verdant through the rain, and the clouds flowing in the sky.

On both sides of the official road, the cypress is lined up, and there are no fields and crops to be seen.

That's why the tiger eater can walk focused.

After a while, the He family's family house came into view.

Two days ago, Hong Fan had sent someone to send a prayer post, and he had done his homework in advance.

The He family is a Xijing wang family, inheriting the second-grade martial arts, and is famous for its medicine.

Since the death of the patriarch, there is no Yuan Ci in the world at present, but there are still two innate masters.

A considerable part of the myelin-washing pills circulating in the Xijing market are from the He family, which is why he came to visit.

Hong Fan turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to call the porter, mentioned his identity, and was led to the reception room after a short time.

The courtyard is deep and the sandalwood is secluded.

He turned the hallway and saw He Zhixin, who got up to greet him.

The two sat across a long table.

As soon as Hong Fan looked up, he saw a plaque hanging next to the beam, with the words "take precautions" written on it.

After a few pleasantries, he took out the souvenir first.

"This three-foot tail armor was taken from a six-sacrificial snake man."

As he spoke, he unfurled the red scales on the long table.

This gift really impressed He Zhixin.

"Jinhai is a bad land on the frontier, and there is nothing very good."

Hong Fan was silent.

"If you want to say the most famous specialty, it is probably the snake man."

He knew that the news was laughing, but he heard a bit of grandeur from the light jokes.

"Six Sacrifice Snake People, that's the combat power of the Yuan Magnetic level."

He asked, caressing the leather to feel the texture.

"I see that this leather armor is still new, and it happened that the wind heard that the snake man was committing a crime a year ago, but what was he hunting at that time?"

Hong Fan nodded.

"I have heard that Jin Haimin is fierce, and it is true!"

He Zhixin exclaimed.

"Speaking of this, it has a far-reaching impact."

"The newly sent governor of the imperial court is also taking advantage of this to provoke and stir up many twists and turns out of thin air."

He didn't ask Hong Fan what he meant, but he couldn't help but complain about a current event first.

"I've heard about this in the Zhangwu Academy, but it's humble and shallow, and I can't see the whole picture."

Hong Fan heard the meaning of the word "borrow" and asked curiously.

"Is the Governor not here for the military?"

"Liangzhou border defense, about 30%."

He Zhixin replied.

"The meaning of the imperial court is to launch the new policy in Liangzhou and bring a lot of consumption to the public."

"Envy?"

Hong Fan didn't understand.

"The so-called consumption is a general term for all kinds of losses when the imperial court collects taxes, including fire consumption (silver double casting loss), finch and mouse consumption, and so on."

He Zhixin explained.

"In the past, local taxation was always used in the name of envy to use clever means in order to get more inputs."

"For example, when weighing grain, use heavier scales, temporarily change the exchange rate between copper coins and silver, or simply add some items to raise the tax standard."

"The return of envy to the public means that the consumption of envy should be uniformly returned to the imperial court, and the local government is not allowed to intercept it privately, and then return part of it as public expense."

Hong Fan understood this time, and his heart immediately woke up.

This is clearly a dispute between the central and local governments over taxation rights.

"It's such a big deal!"

Hong Fan frowned.

"I have been in Xijing City for nearly a month, and I only think that Xijing has been quiet for a good time, but I don't know that there is such a turbulent undercurrent under the flat waves."

"Who's to say it isn't?"

He Zhixin smiled bitterly.

"There was already a state guard, and now there is a governor, and Xijing has two suns all of a sudden, and I don't know how many people can't eat and sleep well."

"Just half a month ago, these two big Buddhas each sent invitations to invite people to the banquet, but the days were ...... on the same night."

"What can I do about it?"

He said these four words with a smile, but there was deep worry in his eyes.

On the other side, Hong Fan thought of the first time he saw Zhuang Liren, who was stunned on the chair.

"Don't talk about these difficult things."

He Zhixin changed the topic.

"I heard a few days ago that when the Shura Sect opened the mountain, a star monarch went up the mountain and ridiculed the demon king of the mixed world to his face."

"Is it Childe?"

He asked with a smile.

"It's me, but there's no sarcasm."

Hong Fan smiled back.

"Brother Qu and I hit it off at first sight, so we made a few little jokes......"

If you chat for a while, the atmosphere becomes more and more relaxed.

Hong Fan then turned to the topic.

"I've heard that the Pure Realm martial arts resources produced by Liangzhou's energy are only five fingers, and the Purifying Pill is the most prestigious."

"The Jin Haihong clan is located in a remote area, and many of the disciples have been slow to practice after passing through the Breakthrough Realm, and they are forced to waste their years."

"Hong Fan is here to seek a way from the second master."

He knew that the news was calm and did not give an immediate reply.

"I heard below that there is a 'Uncle Pan' from Jin Hai in Xijing who is generous and collects a lot of pills every year."

After a moment, he asked.

"But Elder Hong Gongzi?"

"It's my uncle at home."

Hong Fan nodded and added.

"It's about the achievements of the children in the clan, even if the price is higher, we can accept it."

"To tell you the truth, I'm afraid it's difficult for my He family to help with this favor."

He Zhixin smiled bitterly and added a cup of tea to Hong Fan with his own hands.

"It is not easy to make, and our monthly output is only a few hundred; To put it mildly, it's clear where each one went. ”

"This business involves too much, and our He family has been operating until now, which can only be said to be 'trembling', and what we are doing is no longer profit, but human favor."

When Hong Fan heard this, he was very disappointed.

Not to mention Jin Hai's side, his own remaining marrow cleansing pill can only last less than ten days.

"Hong Gongzi is young and promising, and he is in charge of the Dragon Destiny Star, and he is a friend that I He and He especially want to make."

He Zhixin paused and spoke again.

"To tell you the truth, there are now about twenty myelin-washing pills per month in my clan, and the output can still be allocated."

"If Gongzi Hong wants to use it for his own use, I will try my best to keep four of them."

"But if you want to supply a family, it's really not enough."

Hong Fan bowed his head silently and drank the tea.

When he was about to say goodbye, he heard He Zhixin breathe a sigh.

"Young Master Hong, there is no basis for what you say, I guess you may not believe me."

"Why don't I take you to the Clan's Myelin Washing Pill Workshop to have a look?"

He stood up and invited.

"I'm an outsider ...... such an important place"

Hong Fan was taken aback.

"The production of the myelin cleansing pill is precious, if it is so easy to be learned, how can the He family gain a foothold?"

He Zhixin said with a smile.

Half an hour later, the two of them passed through heavy guards and reached the depths of the clan land.

"The production process of the myelin cleansing pill is very complicated, and there are seven major processes alone."

He Zhixin explained, leading Hong Fan to pass by the row-shaped workshop.

"There are a total of 22 kinds of raw materials used."

Hong Fan glanced inside the door and saw several young men tying up many unknown herbs with gauze and hammering them into stone mortars to extract the juice.

"One of the most important materials came from the cicada songless wood core you recovered that day."
