Chapter 45: Peacemaker Character
Tong Youxian was enthusiastic, he had drunk most of the wine, and he was still so sober: "Mu Xiao, you are really a noble person of our wandering clan, this ten thousand commercial houses sent housekeepers over and wanted to build a refining pharmacy for us." ”
Build a pharmacy?
Mu Xiao was curious, what kind of idea did Wan Shaohong have in mind, he actually built a refining pharmacy for the wandering clan, I'm afraid it's not that simple here.
"Uncle Tong, have you agreed?" Mu Xiao asked tentatively.
Tong Youxian burped, shrunk his neck and said, "Not yet, Old Man Lin said that he wanted to ask you what you mean, and he wanted to send someone to the city to find you, but now it's okay, you came at the right time." ”
Mu Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said to Tong Youxian: "Actually, everyone can discuss the affairs of the clan with Lin Ye, there is no need to tell me everything." ”
Tong Youxian picked up the bowl in his hand, gently touched Mu Xiao, and then drank it all on his back, let out a breath of hot air, grinned and said: "Mu Xiao, although our free clan is now Lin Ye as the patriarch, but the people in the clan believe in you, and you will check everything, everyone can rest assured." It's like setting up a secret guard in the first place, or you have the foresight."
"What's the matter, someone has come to make trouble for the Wandering Clan?" Mu Xiao frowned, feeling that there was something in Tong Youxian's words.
Tong Youxian was slightly drunk at the moment, shook his head and smiled: "Originally, we didn't want you to know about this." He paused and said: "A few days ago, there were disciples in the Heavenly Dao of Boyang Mountain who wanted to break into the Wandering Valley, but fortunately, the guards reported it in time, but as a result, we left the secret guards to fight for anger, and directly beat them down at the gate of the mountain and blasted them away." ”
Although the Heavenly Dao Society and the Free Mountain are not far apart, before the Free Clan was established, there were no disciples of the Heavenly Dao Society who set foot in the Free Valley. Coming here at this time is probably to test the defense of the Wanderers. Thinking of this, Mu Xiao felt that the Heavenly Dao Society might be planning something.
"Uncle Tong, during this time, we must strengthen our defense, strangers are not allowed to come in, even if you report my name, if you don't listen to the persuasion, you will directly let him come and go. Mu Xiao's tone suddenly became gloomy, the Heavenly Dao will come to the Wandering Mountain, and it may be to prepare for the Wandering Mountain.
If the President of the Heavenly Dao Society breaks through the Sword Venerable realm, it will definitely expand the power of the Heavenly Dao Society, and it is not impossible for the Free Mountain to be targeted as a distance of only one hour from Boyang Mountain. This is also something that Mu Xiao has always been worried about, if that is the case, it will be imperative to solve the Heavenly Dao.
Mu Xiao thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, how is the strength of the secret guard now?"
"If you want to say that there is no problem at all to deal with ordinary sects like the Heavenly Dao Society, I am afraid that I will encounter a strong person who has reached the realm. Tong Youxian said a little worriedly.
Looking at Tianyuan, there are not a few who have reached the realm. But most of the Wandering Secret Guards now only have a little internal force, which is not enough to exert sword qi and sword qi at all, and they are not counted as realm-pseudo-swordsmen, and there are only a handful of people in the clan who can reach the pseudo-swordsmen, in case they really encounter the swordsman realm, they are waiting to be harvested.
"Uncle Tong, in the past few days, some young people with strong learning ability and ability to endure hardships have been selected to form a team of about 20 people, and arrange people to conduct special training for them. Okay, let's get here first today, and I'll go find Lin Ye. Mu Xiao got up and said with a straight face, This matter is urgent, and it seems that only a lonely old man can help with this.
"Alright, I'll go with you. ”
Although Tong Youxian drank a lot, he was not drunk, but he walked a little floating. followed behind Mu Xiao, stroking his big belly all the way.
Soon the two walked into the Lin family's small courtyard, and the people inside had finished eating, only Lin Yuyan was busy washing dishes by the well, and the others were sitting in the hall talking and laughing.
"Old man Lin, I'll ...... I'm back," as soon as he entered the door, Tong Youxian shouted with a belch.
Lin Ye saw the two of them coming, and got up to greet each other: "Mu Xiao is here, just right" He looked at Lin Yuyan in the courtyard and shouted: "Yan, prepare to ......"
"Don't bother, Lin Ye has already eaten. Mu Xiao looked at Tong Youxian as he spoke.
"I said Tong Fatty, drink so much in the daytime, aren't you afraid that your insiders will clean you up? Also, next time I drink so much, I'll give you the position of deacon!" Lin Ye pretended to be angry and reprimanded.
Mu Xiao sat down after greeting Markham and Steward Gu, and Tong Youxian scratched his head with an embarrassed smile: "What Old Man Lin said is that he was too happy to drink too much today. The next is not an example, the next is not an example. ”
Tong Youxian was so conscious, Lin Ye naturally didn't say much, so he had to point at him and stop talking, while the others shook their heads and smiled bitterly, this fat man is really cute sometimes.
After a period of greetings, Lin Ye told the ancient butler and Markham about their intentions. It turned out that after the last time the wandering clan took the stock of herbs to Wanjia Commercial Bank to sell, the market was still good, and this time the ancient housekeeper and Markham went to the wandering valley, in addition to sending medicine money, just like Tong Youxian said, to build a refining pharmacy for the wandering clan.
"Mu Xiao, Wanjia Commercial Bank's last trial sale of free herbs, the market feedback was very good, but now the price of herbs in many worlds is too transparent, and it is difficult to make more profits. Butler Gu thought and said.
At this time, Markham stood up and looked at everyone and said, "Last time, the herbs of the Wandering Clan were not sold by our Ten Thousand Merchant Houses in Tianyuan, but were shipped to the Youlong Empire. We found a very interesting phenomenon there, after the Dragon Empire acquired herbs, most of them were refined into pills and then used. ”
Hearing this, Mu Xiao also knew the meaning of Markham, that is, it would be better to sell the herbs by refining them into pills, after all, the buyer saved the process of refining them by himself, but since everyone can refine them themselves, they may not buy ready-made pills, and ready-made pills must be much more expensive than herbal medicines.
"They can refine their own medicines, why don't they buy cheap herbs to refine, but are willing to pay a higher price to buy the finished product?" Mu Xiao asked the doubt in his heart.
At this time, Lin Ye and Tong Youxian nodded in agreement, and the ancient steward smiled slightly: "Although many people in the Youlong Empire can refine medicine, there are no formal alchemy pharmacies and highly skilled alchemists, the cost of medicinal materials is huge, and the purity of the refined pills is too low, and the medicinal effect is of course unsatisfactory." ”
"If we build an alchemy here, we will hire some skilled alchemists. The time interval between the time between the time our medicinal materials leave the ground and the time they enter the furnace is short, and the purity of the pills refined will definitely be much higher than the purity they have refined themselves. As long as the things are good, are you afraid that they will not be able to sell?" Markham explained bitterly.
After hearing this, Mu Xiao felt that there was some truth, if the free mountain could really build a refining pharmacy, then there would be no need to transport a large number of herbs out in the future, and besides, this mountain road was also an obstacle to transporting herbs. Refining pills and then taking them out will definitely reduce a lot of transportation costs. It's just a highly skilled alchemist, how can it be so easy to find.
"Mu Xiao, in the past two days, Steward Gu has also talked to us a lot about things outside, and it seems that we also have to follow the market. Lin Ye sighed, the outside world is really too little to see, for example, what the Dragon Empire is, he also knows a little about it.
It's okay to build a pharmacy, but you must not let the Wanderers invest any money, this is the premise, and if it fails, it won't drag the Wanderers into a predicament.
Mu Xiao looked at Markham and Steward Gu and said: "Markham, Butler Gu, it's not that I, Mu Xiao, is stingy or unkind, there is no problem in building a refining pharmacy, but Wandering Valley can only provide land, and nothing else." And even if it doesn't succeed in the future, Wanjia Commercial Bank must ensure that the herbs grown by the wandering people can be sold, which is the bottom line. ”
Although Mu Xiao was a little suspicious of taking the lead, he was afraid that if he didn't say it, Lin Ye didn't dare to say it, and it would be bad to suffer a loss when the time came. Although the establishment of a pharmacy is free, if it fails, it can't make the herbs unsold. Lin Ye and Tong Youxian on the side also looked at Mu Xiao in panic, only providing land, and also asked the family to guarantee the sale of free mountain herbs, which is a bit of an overlord's note.
The ancient housekeeper laughed: "Sure enough, as the master expected, you Mu Xiao will definitely not do loss-making business." But don't worry, the master said, this alchemy pharmacy was given to the wandering clan by the Wanjia Firm, as for the alchemist, you can also find it, if you can't find it, we will find it. This can be regarded as a gift from the Ten Thousand Firms to the wandering clan. ”
After speaking, the ancient butler looked at Markham with a smile, and his eyes seemed a little weird. Markham lowered his head in embarrassment, and Mu Xiao just grinned.
It seems that this Markham has a careful mind, since this matter has been said on this matter, Mu Xiao will not say more. Just leave a few old guys to discuss the documents together, and Markham and Markham are ready to go out for a walk.
"Brother Mu Xiao, are you going to Zuimeng Tower? I'll open the door for you. As soon as the two walked into the courtyard, Lin Yuyan greeted them with a smile.
"Okay, let's go together. Mu Xiao just wanted to talk to her.
Lin Yuyan walked in front, Mu Xiao and Markham walked side by side, and the three of them chatted along the way.
"Sister Yuyan, what about Fu Shengsheng?" Mu Xiao asked coldly.
Lin Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and replied angrily: "I don't know, I don't want to pay attention to him." ”
"Hehe, it's making trouble again" Mu Xiao sighed: "Sister Yuyan, in fact, Fu Shengsheng is really good to you, even if Tong Xiuxiu pestered him before, it's not his fault, right, I also met Tong Xiuxiu today, looking at him, she may not be really interesting to Shengsheng!"
"Brother Mu Xiao, you like to be a peacemaker. Lin Yuyan whispered and strode forward, a few meters away from Mu Xiao and Markham.
Markham leaned over and said, "Brother Mu, Sister Yuyan is angry?"
"I don't know, by the way, why didn't I see Yu Na?"
"Let's go to the medicine land with Uncle Lin" At the mention of Yu Na, Markham's face turned red again, and he strode forward again to catch up with Lin Yuyan.
Markham peeked at Mu Xiao, who was a few meters behind him, and said to Lin Yuyan: "Sister Yuyan, don't be angry, Brother Mu's peacemaker character is like this." ”
Lin Yuyan wasn't actually angry, just a little annoyed.
"Markham, do you think I'm too fierce to deal with Shengsheng, will he hate me?" she suddenly felt a little sad and a little scared.
Markham is also an upright boy, Mu Na nodded and said: "It's indeed a bit fierce, but Brother Fu likes you so much, he shouldn't hate you, just find time for you to talk to him clearly."
Mu Xiao gritted his teeth in the back, what were these two guys talking about, and they even peeked at themselves from time to time, feeling like a thief.
