Chapter 30 Further Cooperation
In the first battle of White Horse Mountain, the Western Xia was defeated, and the camp of White Horse Mountain collapsed.
After the war, when the blame was pursued, there was chaos in the court, and there were different opinions on the cause of the defeat. The privy deputy envoy Yeli Wangrong and the governor Yin Gao Huaien, who held the authority of Xingqing, pointed the finger at Li Liangfu, the commander of the military division of the Shunjian army in the right wing, saying that he was greedy for the military salaries and grain that should have been sent to Baima Mountain, so that the army's morale was unstable and their morale was shaken.
The Li brothers resolutely denied that because the Baima Mountain camp was captured by the Ming army, all the documents and materials could not be checked, so they could not find ironclad evidence for a while. Later, Li Liangfu's elder brother, Li Zhizhong, who was a member of the Zhongshu House at the time and is now an official and has now been promoted to Zhongshu Shilang, instructed Wu Huawen, the commander of the left wing of the Military Supervision Department of Baimaqiang Town, to expose that it was Yeli Huaide who led the army to escape at the critical moment of the war, so that the army was defeated, and he should be beheaded to thank the world.
Wu Huawen was the main general who guarded the Baihe Tianwei, and when the army was defeated, he was close to the left, and his recital was very persuasive, and the lord Li Qianshun was furious, and even took Yeli Huaide lock to prison.
Fortunately, although the Empress Dowager Gao is still in power with the young lord, after all, her prestige is still there, and she came forward to protect Yeli Huaide, and the lord of the country did not dare to force it. Under the mediation of the Empress Dowager Gao, the Yeli family agreed to cut half of the soldiers and hand over 2,000 accounts to the Tuoba clan, that is, the lord of the country, the Li clan, and Yeli Huaide was released from prison and was not allowed to re-enter the military as guilty.
The Yeli family is an ally of the Gao family, and the Gao family is also anxious when something happens, so Gao Yanei can't help but urge on the side: "If the Chengdong family has any good ideas, come quickly, if you can let the little marquis get rid of his sin, it is better than anything else." β
Cheng An said: "The reason why Li Zhizhong and Li Liangfu brothers couldn't be defeated before was because they lost the Baima Mountain camp, and the delivery documents and files of the military salary, grain, and baggage were all lost, so there is no evidence." But can we think of a way to check from the Ming Dynasty? The camp was captured by the Ming army, and I wonder if these documents were captured by the Ming army?"
Gao Yanei's eyes lit up: "What does the owner of the Cheng family mean, is he asking Daochang Zhao for help?"
Cheng An said: "Back then, Li Liangfu used the military salary to speculate on Snow Lotus, and he lost hundreds of thousands of silver, and the person in charge of transporting grain in Xingqing was Li Zhizhong's protΓ©gΓ© - Jiang Chengbang, the deputy envoy of the Sansi Du Branch, I don't believe that there is no problem!"
Yeli Huaide said happily: "If you can get the ironclad evidence of the handover of military salaries and grains, you will have to let the two thieves of the Li family not be able to eat and walk around!" After thinking about it, he said: "What if there is still none? I remember that when I broke through the siege, the direction of the camp was full of flames......
Cheng An smiled: "Do you know where Daoist Zhao will go next?"
"Where?"
"Hongyuan, as the abbot of the White Horse Daoist Academy, is in charge of the three White Horse Divisions!
Gao Yanei high-fived and praised: "Wonderful! It is worthy of becoming an owner! Cheng Dongjia and Zhao Daochang even make friends, then there is Lao Chengdong's family to tell Zhao Daochang? If Zhao Daochang has any conditions, you can put them forward, and we will try our best to meet them!"
Cheng An shook his head: "It's not good for me to say." β
Gao Yanei asked: "Isn't the Chengdong family a friend of Daochang Zhao?
Cheng An smiled bitterly: "I am now in a place of suspicion, Tianlong Yuan is staring at me very closely, you have also seen it in the past few days, Mingjue and Xingzhen have never left Zhao Daochang's side, where can I have the opportunity to talk to him about this matter alone? Don't look at Mingjue and Xingzhen are also a little thin with me on weekdays, but this matter is too important, if I really want to do anything unusual, it will make them embarrassed." Therefore, the two of them had to find a way to pass it over, and find an opportunity to ask Daochang Zhao alone. β
Gao Yanai and Yeli Huaide both nodded their heads, pondering as they walked.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the residence of the abbot Master Long Yang, and after meeting Zhao Ran, it was lively again.
With Cheng An's reminder, the attitude of these two towards Zhao Ran today is different from the last time in Jinbo Club, and they are more eager to make friends deliberately.
After staying in Longyang's small courtyard for a long time, everyone accompanied Zhao Ran to the Tianma Pharmaceutical Workshop on Cuiming Mountain.
Tianma Pharmaceutical Workshop is also located on the half-hill of Cuiming Mountain, adjacent to the Tianmatai Temple, and there is only a piece of grassland dozens of zhang wide in the middle. The reason why I came to visit here was because Zhao Ran wanted to "get the goods" directly from Tianma Pharmaceutical Workshop.
The price of Tianma Pharmaceutical's most profitable Zhuangshen Pill and Fire Poison Pill in Daming remains high, and the price is nearly twice that of Xingqing, and the price of the two drugs on the market in Xingqing Mansion is half higher than the "factory price" of Tianma Pharmaceutical.
Zhao Ran has been trying to prepare his own "Junshan Pharmaceutical", but he can't do it yet, although he has two formulas for medicine, but he doesn't have enough talents - refining two elixirs that can be borne by ordinary people, the monks needed are not one or two, Tianmatai Temple and Jialan Temple have dozens of monks who are invested in it all year round.
In Zhao Ran's hands, only the archmage Guo Zhiwei can be used so far, and as for the rabbit, her ability is still limited to cultivating medicine. Although the fairy of the Toad Palace was very interested in refining the elixir, that was a later story, and besides, none of her subordinates had opened their spiritual intelligence.
Before the establishment of Junshan Pharmaceutical, it was still possible to introduce elixirs from Western Xia, and the price difference between them, Zhao Ran planned to hold part of it in his hands, and it took a lot of money to build Hongyuan. Therefore, taking medicine directly from Tianma Pharmaceutical, and then transferring it to the Central Plains Prefecture is a temporary way to make money.
The Tianma Pharmaceutical Workshop was full of people, and more than a dozen practicing monks and more than 20 ordinary monks were busy inside. Zhao Ran inspected the "Medicine Selection Hall", "Medicine Dispensing Hall", "Medicine Refining Hall", "Cheng Medicine Hall", etc., one by one, and expressed satisfaction with the orderly work of the monks and the clean and tidy environment, and then sat down to discuss the price and quantity of the goods picked up every year.
"How many Zhuangshen Pills and Fire Poison Pills can your temple refine every year now?"
Xuan Tan, the mantle monk, replied: "There are no less than 10,000 strong god pills every year, and 20,000 fire poison pills every year. β
"So how much can you give me each year?"
Xuan Tan thought for a moment and said, "Thirty bottles of the Zhuangshen Pill and fifty bottles of the Fire Poison Pill." β
Thirty and fifty bottles, thirty pills each, that's nine hundred pills and one thousand fifteen hundred. Zhao Ran was not very satisfied with this quantity, he knew that Tianma Pharmaceutical had limited the output in order to maintain the price of the drug at that time, and the actual production capacity was more than this number. There are not so many people in the Western Xia Kingdom who can afford to consume these two medicines, this number is almost just right, but now that three years have passed, it stands to reason that a larger channel should be opened, and the Buddhas of Tubo, Northern Yuan, and the Western Regions are even sold to Daming privately, where is this output enough?
Zhao Ran shook his head: "It's too little, the poor road needs more, at least double." β
Xuan Tan was embarrassed: "I really can't make it." β
Zhao Ranqi said: "Why is this?"
