2 Medicine Harvesting Hall
The thin, yellow-looking middle-aged official grabbed the last piece of beef bone on the plate and took a bite of the meat.
"Of course. Li Ye, when I found the bandit leader in the county town, I sprinkled 'three days and don't scatter' on him, do you know what this thing is? This is the famous tracking medicine powder of the 'Medicine Picking Hall' in the county town, as long as it is scattered a little bit,"
The official surnamed Li gestured with his little finger, and continued with a smile: "Within three days, no matter where the bandit leader escapes, Li Ye and I can find him out." But this thing can't be obtained by others, and if I weren't related to Li Dashan from the Medicine Picking Hall, I wouldn't have been able to get this. ”
"Li Ye and Li Dashan of the Medicine Picking Hall are relatives?"
The officials showed their shocked faces and let out a fuss of exclamation.
Although they had heard this from Li Guancha's mouth many more than hundreds of times, they were already tired of it. But they knew that their leader was good at showing off this relationship, so they showed a look of emotion and exclamation every time to please Li Guancha.
Speaking of which, this medicine collection hall is also very famous in Zhuqi County. Its main business is to do medicine collection, with thousands of fertile land, dozens of storefronts, thousands of apprentices, a big business, is the first wealthy and powerful household in Zhuqi County.
It is said that Li Dashanren, the owner of the medicine collection hall, was an outlaw in the rivers and lakes in the early years, and was extremely famous in Zhuqi County, and later washed his hands and went ashore to stop fighting and killing, and worshiped the famous medicine king gang in Pingzhou, and became the hall master of the medicine collection hall under the medicine king gang, supplying medicinal materials for the medicine king gang, and also won the title of Li Dashan on the rivers and lakes, and now he has become the richest man in Zhuqi County, and the power is extremely heavy, and the county prince of Zhuqi County is also a peer.
But the people of Zhuqi County, who knew that Li Dashan was born in detail, would secretly scold him behind his back, a big villain who eats people and does not peel the skin or spit out the bones. He is the most evil in the entire county, and even the county magistrate of Zhuqi County, who is crazy about scraping the people's fat and people's ointment, is not half as evil as him.
All the officials and messengers know this, but they don't dare to say it, but they dare to say it in their hearts when no one is around.
The powerful position of this medicine collection hall in Zhuqi County is by no means comparable to those poor county officials who run errands everywhere and catch robbers. Not to mention that the hall master Li Dashan is a good person, even if a high-level master comes out casually, he can command them in front of these officials.
A young official saw that Li Guancha's wine bowl was empty, so he hurriedly picked up the big jar of wine on the table and filled it up, just filling the edge of the wine bowl, no more, no less, and the kung fu of pouring wine was extremely skillful.
He flattered and said: "Master Li, I heard about something yesterday, it seems that the medicine collection hall is going to openly recruit a group of medicine picking boys under the age of twelve in the county in the past few days, can you always help me say that let my nephew go in to learn the craft? ”
The other officials also stopped their wine bowls and listened with bated breath. None of them have a son, nephew, or any other relative. If you can let your sons and nephews make a good living in the medicine collection hall, the most powerful household in Zhuqi County, you will also have a hope and live a comfortable life.
Even Ye Qin, who was hiding in the shadow on the side of the pergola, heard the official say that the medicine collection hall in Zhuqi County was going to openly accept medicine picking boys under the age of twelve, and he was stunned, and his heart was pounding, and he faintly felt that this was an opportunity.
Ye Qin immediately ignored the danger and poked half of his head out of the messy grass nest to listen carefully to those officials to see what was going on.
Li Guancha was biting on the beef bones, and when he heard this, the meat bones in his mouth suddenly stopped, revealing a difficult color. "Well, the Medicine Picking Hall wants to openly collect medicine boys, there is such a thing. However, being a medicine picker is not a good job!"
Speaking of which, he thought of something, and he didn't say yes.
Li Guancha has always liked to brag about his kinship with Li Dashan in front of all the officials, but when it comes to the matter of the Medicine Collecting Hall, he often keeps his mouth shut and doesn't say more than half a word, and seems to have some scruples.
The officials are in a hurry, why don't they talk about it at this juncture. Usually I don't talk about it, but now the Medicine Picking Hall wants to recruit boy apprentices, and this kind of good thing is not seen every day.
They served meat and persuaded wine one after another, and took turns to curry favor and said, "Master Li, you are always a relative of Li Dashanren, and here you are the most familiar with the medicine collection hall." Just tell our brothers about this medicine hall, how can we get in?"
Bowls of wine and meat were served, and Li Guancha couldn't resist the persuasion of everyone, and said:
"Okay, brother, Master Li, I'll teach you a good one today, so that you don't suffer in the future, blame Master Li, I didn't remind you in advance. This medicine hall is divided into two sub-halls: the inner hall and the outer hall. The outer hall specially trains a group of herb pickers to go to the deep mountains, old forests, dangerous peaks, streams, and the most treacherous places to pick wild herbs. The inner hall is responsible for ordering medicines, identifying medicines, drying medicines, cutting medicines, pharmaceuticals, looking after storefronts, transporting medicines, etc., and usually stays in the county.
If you have a way to have money, and you can enter the inner hall with a relationship, it would be cool, sit and take money and enjoy happiness, I don't know how many times better than our tired and tired officials who lick blood from the knife edge.
But if you enter the outer hall, tsk, I can't say what is going on inside, not to mention Li Ye, I didn't remind everyone, the work of going up the mountain to collect medicine, but it is not bad to be able to survive one or two out of ten, which is worse than those of us who are officials.
This medicine collection hall is a hall of the fifth largest gang in Pingzhou, the Yaowang Gang, and the gang is strictly regulated, and many inside information will not be easily revealed to outsiders. If the brothers have children and nephews in the family, and they want to enter the medicine collection hall, they should go to the inner hall by the door, and never go to the outer hall. If you don't know the details and rashly add it to the outer hall, you are looking for death. ”
The officials secretly rejoiced, as long as they knew the details, it would be easy to do.
As for the road to the door, isn't there just one in front of you? The rest is a matter of silver. The way to trust Li Daguan is also to make a lot of silver. This aspect is a bit tricky, and they, the lowest-level errand runners, usually don't have much oil and water. Some officials with money will use their brains. The official who had no money simply gave up the idea of letting his own sons and nephews enter the medicine collection hall.
