Chapter 246: The Ancient Tea Horse Road

"Three taels of silver in a bottle, curing all diseases, Tong Su is not bullied!"

The middle-aged Taoist priest in a Taoist robe shouted very loudly, and sometimes performed a little magic trick, which was very wonderful, to show how powerful his magic was. But even so, there are still many people around who watch the excitement, and there are very few people who actually spend money to buy elixir.

After all, a bottle of three taels of silver is not something that ordinary people can afford, even in the rich city of Suzhou, not many people are willing to be the head of this wrong.

"Don't believe it! Poor Dao is the Taoist priest of Maoshan Wang Daoling, and his magic is strong, if you encounter a disease and come to buy medicine, you may not be able to buy it!"

This Taoist priest, if Xu Xian was at the scene, he would definitely be able to guess his identity at a glance, it was the Toad Spirit King Daoling!

Speaking of which, this Wang Daoling can be regarded as a big demon with quite good strength, and in the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady", he almost tied with Xiaoqingneng, which brought a lot of trouble to Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Bai Suzhen showed her original form, which scared Xu Xian to the point of being scattered, all of which were written by Wang Daoling.

Later, he joined forces with Centipede Spirit, the son of King Jinlun, and wanted to kill Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen, but was counterkilled.

In this life, the centipede spirit was just evil in Qiantang County, and was killed by Xu Xian, but this toad spirit Wang Daoling, but he is still fine, and he is at ease in Suzhou City.

Wang Daoling took the peachwood sword and swung it, it took a lot of effort, and there were still few people who were willing to pay for it, so he couldn't help frowning a little, looking very unhappy.

However, when he turned his eyes and saw Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen, his eyes suddenly lit up and burst into strange colors.

Xiao Qing could see at a glance that his body was a toad essence, and he could naturally recognize Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen's bodies at a glance. What's more, speaking of which, he and Bai Suzhen are still 'old acquaintances'.

Three hundred years ago, Wang Daoling had also cultivated in Qingcheng Mountain, and he had a great reputation. Because he was lustful by nature, he forced many banshees in the mountains to be his double monks.

Once, Wang Daoling saw Bai Suzhen by chance, and was immediately shocked, deeply attracted by Bai Suzhen's appearance and temperament, and laughed: You and I live together in the mountains, and the door is good for both of them, we cultivate the same way, and it is just right to be a fairy couple!

And then...... was slapped by Bai Suzhen.

Wang Daoling was not convinced, and was ready to use force to oppress Bai Suzhen, but the final result was naturally that Bai Suzhen was beaten up fiercely, and he was seriously injured and escaped.

"Bai Suzhen, hehe, I didn't expect to meet again!" Wang Daoling's eyes showed a lewd smile, and many thoughts floated in his heart.

Bai Suzhen frowned slightly when she saw this, she also recognized Wang Daoling, but she didn't take it too seriously. Wang Daoling was not her opponent three hundred years ago, and now she is naturally far inferior, and she is living a happy life now, Wang Daoling selling high-priced medicine is not a disaster for the common people, so she does not plan to pursue the old grudge.

"Sister, there's nothing to see, let's go. Xiaoqing said.

Bai Suzhen nodded, and the two quickly turned to leave.

Wang Daoling watched the backs of the two gradually drift apart, until they disappeared, and then retracted their minds.

Looking at the crowd gathered around to watch the excitement but just didn't pay for it, he also became less interested, put away his stall, and shouted: "Disperse, disperse! I closed the stall! Now you don't buy my panacea, don't regret it in the future!"

In the Dali Dynasty, there are not many strange people.

There are also many Taoist priests and monks who walk the world, specializing in subduing demons and subduing demons.

Wang Daoling, a monster with a high degree of Taoism, if he cultivates in the deep mountains and old forests, he can do whatever he wants, and no one cares, but if he wants to mix in the red dust, he doesn't dare to make money recklessly, if the impact is too great, I'm afraid he will be eliminated.

What's more, Wang Daoling also worshiped under the Maoshan faction, and under the guise of an 'orthodox Taoist', he can't do anything wrong.

To make money, you have to take it in the right way.

Wang Daoling was packing up his things and pondered in his heart: It seems that it is not a good way to sell medicine like this, you have to think of a useful way!

Is there any way to get someone else to sell the medicine?

Make him sick, of course!

When you are sick, you naturally know to seek medical treatment and buy medicine.

......

The scriptures and Moyi, for Xu Xian, whose memory is almost unforgettable, no matter how tricky and rich the exam questions are, it is still not difficult.

But this time, Xu Xian thought seriously about the topic for a long time, and only began to write and answer on the afternoon of the second day of the exam.

Because after the imperial examination arrived at the township examination, all the policy topics were related to the politics and laws of the Dali Dynasty, and it was impossible to find any works of the earth's sages to directly apply, and Xu Xian needed to think about it himself.

Fortunately, Xu Xian has experienced the earth of information explosion in later generations, and he is also more interested in ancient laws and politics, and he once specialized in understanding it.

For example, regarding the politics of horse management, the Han, Qin, and Ming dynasties on the earth all attached great importance to horses, and there was a criminal law such as 'the horse thief dies, and the cattle thief is in a flail'.

Therefore, many of the views listed by Xu Xian are also things that concentrate the wisdom of countless sages.

"The horse is the foundation of the armor and the great use of the country. Tranquility is in the order of non-respect and humility, and if there is change, it is difficult to help the near and far!"

Xu Xianyun's pen is like flying, once he has an idea, he writes his strategy quickly.

In ancient dynasties, horses were equivalent to the fighters of the earth in later generations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were the foundation of armor. However, the place where the northern barbarians are located is an endless grassland, the best place to raise horses naturally, and it is too difficult to raise horses in the Central Plains.

First of all, because of the topography, climate and other reasons, the war horses raised in the Central Plains are naturally not as high-quality as the horses of the grassland; secondly, even if the Central Plains wants to raise horses on a large scale, it is extremely difficult.

According to statistics, the land needed to raise a horse can feed 25 people if it is used for farming! If the Central Plains region wants to raise horses, it has to take grain from people's mouths and give it to horses, and the price is too great!

This is a natural difference between agrarian and nomadic peoples, and it cannot be changed.

Since the establishment of the Dali Dynasty, successive emperors have all wanted to solve this problem, but there is no way.

The imperial court issued many policies, such as official horse breeding, encouraging private horse breeding, etc., but did not solve the fundamental problem. Even the imperial court had thought of spending a lot of money to buy war horses from the northern barbarians, but unfortunately the northern barbarians were not stupid, knowing that horses were their sharp weapons, and they had always refused to relax in this regard.

It's okay to trade once in a while, but if you want to trade horses on a large scale?

However, there is no way for others, it doesn't mean that Xu Xian doesn't.

In later generations, the earth's methods of raising horses have long been vividly and exquisitely analyzed. The northern barbarians have always coveted the Dali Dynasty and refused to trade more horses, but there are other places!

The best place to raise horses, in addition to the northern grasslands, there are also cold places on the plateau!

Alpine horses are not much worse than Jibei horses.

The northwest is not like the northern barbarians, and there is no covetousness for the Dali Dynasty, so it is completely possible to do trade exchanges and introduce horses.

For example, in the history of China in later generations, the famous and far-reaching 'Ancient Tea Horse Road' has not been developed so far!

So, Xu Xian wrote the simple idea of the 'Ancient Tea Horse Road' on the test paper.

Xu Xian was engrossed in writing down his thoughts on paper, not noticing that as his strategy began to take shape little by little, the luck of the Dali Dynasty had quietly begun to surge!
