Chapter 21 Preparation of Medicinal Materials

Du Xu sensed the inner impression of the void room, broke through the sexual light period, and transformed his soul into an innate divine soul, which was a big deal.

Now he finally has time to observe this ancient city, which is very different from the modern city, graceful and beautiful, and antique. He walked and walked in the streets and alleys, looking around at the black eaves and green tiles next to it, the river water pavilion, the streets here are very interesting, the pattern of people's residence is connected by the river into the street, the bridge street, there is a modern steel city does not have the charm.

Probably because of the war, the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, and a trace of worry lingered between their eyebrows, which was a little incongruous with the leisurely atmosphere of the ancient city.

Du Xu had no choice but to put away his interest in playing, quickened his pace, and turned into the alley next to him.

He walked around in the alley, gradually moving away from the harmonious area of the ancient city of Yangzhou, and entered the outer city where the homeless civilians lived, and the passers-by beside him also became ragged, and occasionally there were some men with tattoos on their faces who were not good people at first glance, watching the pedestrians passing by on the street corners.

A thin man in a blue shirt with thief eyebrows and rat eyes saw Du Xu coming over, his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly towards Du Xu.

As soon as he walked dozens of feet in front of Du Xu, he was dragged to a small alley next to him by two big men in strong suits, one big man covered the man's mouth and dragged him deep into the alley, and the other big man waited quietly beside him, when Du Xu passed by, he whispered respectfully: "Mr. go slowly, we will teach you a lesson if you don't open your eyes!"

Du Xu ignored him, and walked into the depths of the alley, but the man in the strong suit didn't care, and respectfully waited until Du Xu walked away before retreating into the alley behind him.

After turning a few alleys, Du Xu came to the door of a dilapidated mansion, the two men at the door saw him, secretly glanced at Du Xu in fear, and carefully opened the door, and a group of servants and maids behind the door waited quietly.

The leader was a broad-eared and powerful man, probably in his forties, with swollen knuckles and protruding knuckles, his temples bulging high, and a group of evil men full of evil spirits behind him, but now he was careful to accompany the smiling face, naturally bent over, and respectfully faced Du Xu.

This man's name is Li San, he is the third master of the Black Tiger Gang in the outer city of Yangzhou, and there are two eldest brothers on it, Uncle Han and Second Master Xiao, the three of them are the leaders of the Black Tiger Gang in the four rudders of the slums in the outer city of Yangzhou.

Later, the four rudders of the outer city of Yangzhou -- the Black Tiger Gang, the rudder, the Qingtang, and the Kouzihui -- were all merged by Li Sanye and merged into the Medicine Gang, controlling the gray world of Yangzhou City, and Li San became the underground city lord of Yangzhou with the support of Du Xu.

Du Xu doesn't care about these things, all he cares about is the convenience that Li San can bring him, when the three leaders of the Black Tiger Gang were in charge, Li San was the most good at seeing people, although the martial arts were the worst, but most of the daily affairs of the Black Tiger Gang were handled by him, and he was very capable. The secret chess he laid out casually gave him a surprise.

"Sir, these are the fresh herbs you want, and there is still a lump of soil on the roots, absolutely fresh, and they were dug up ten years ago at the latest, and the rhizomes are complete, so they will not hinder you from planting. Li San respectfully took Du Xu to the east wing of the mansion, which was full of medicinal herbs and plants wrapped in silk cloth in wooden boxes.

Li San pointed to a pile on the left and said: "This is transported from Yunnan, all of them are the best notoginseng, dendrobium, gastrodia, angelica, poria cocos, etc., and there are some plants found according to the drawings you draw, and treasures that the locals know, these are all fresh medicinal plants that we purchased at a high price, and there are some dried goods that have been concocted in the back." ”

and pointed to the right, "These are all unique medicinal plants in the north, Tianmu Mountain Five Elements Grass, Taihang Mountain Purple Tuan Ginseng, etc., some time is too short, only concocted dry goods, no fresh plants, some precious medicinal materials have just been heard, we are trying to search." ”

Du Xu didn't care, raised his hand to signal Li San to stop, and said lightly: "It's nothing, this is not something that can be done in a short time, I will stay here for at least five years, and these things will be searched slowly." ”

He squatted down, opened the wooden box containing medicinal materials, checked it a little, and said: "Anything with more than a hundred plants, you don't need to collect it! When these medicinal herbs were collected, they were obviously not skilled enough. ”

"Of course, there is no ** medicinal materials or continue to collect, some peculiar plants, high year medicinal materials, things with visions, but also increase the reward, but where you offer a plant that I see, there is a big reward! ”

"Medicinal materials for large animals continue to be purchased, and there is no limit to the quantity, such as rhino horn, bezoar, luminous sand, etc., as many as you want. ”

After Du Xu finished speaking, he looked back at Li San and asked, "How is the medicinal herb workshop?

Li San took the account book from the maid in the back, held it in his hand, and said respectfully: "In addition to the original six workshops, we have built three new workshops, one concoction workshop, and two pharmaceutical workshops. There was a war going on in the north, and King Fengtian and General Yang of Yizhou were full of praise for our Yunnan Baiyao, and ordered a large number of over-the-counter medicines, Rendan was selling very well in Nanban, and other over-the-counter medicines were also in short supply, and the shareholders were asking for the expansion of production. ”

"The power of our medicine gang has expanded to three states in the southeast, two states in the southwest, two states in the north of the Yangtze River, and one state in the Central Plains, a total of eight states, which have reached half of China, and most of them have been established on the original local gangs, and there is a great lack of good hands, which has affected our stability! But as long as the expansion is temporarily stopped, the subordinates are confident that they will be able to complete the integration within a year and eliminate the hidden danger of rapid expansion. Because of the expansion, even though our medicinal materials trading income is huge, we can't get out, and we rely on the support of franchise fees from franchise stores around the country. ”

Du Xu was looking at him and asked solemnly, "Does the shadow affect my collection of medicinal herbs and exotic treasures?"

Li San replied: "In other places in Huaxia that our medicine gang forces can't cover, there are also allies who provide medicinal materials, only the Esoteric Sect's Tubo Plateau we can't do anything, some unique medicinal materials there may be difficult to collect, but our subordinates are working hard." There is also no problem of funds, there are many shareholders who are willing to increase their shares, we do not need to control the profits of pharmacies across the country, let them, you can get a large amount of funds. Sir, are we going to stop expanding a little bit and eliminate some of the hidden dangers?"

Du Xu replied casually: "You look at it!"

Then he turned back to the hall and asked as he went, "Where is the medicine furnace I want you to seek?"

Li San replied confidently: "The medicine furnace has been arranged in the fire room, the carbon is the best silver frost carbon, and everything else is ready, sir, come with me." So he stepped forward and led the way.

Du Xu saw his hands with protruding bones, and said with concern: "What's wrong with your hands? In the past, you didn't get the true inheritance of the Eagle Claw Hand, so you forcibly practiced, and one pair of hands was almost useless, although I made up for your Eagle Claw Hand, but if you want to raise these hands, it's not a matter of a day or two." I'll refine some pills and ointments for you, take care of your hands, and by the way, refine some pills to increase your internal strength, and you can use them to cultivate some good hands. ”

Li San was grateful and said, "Mr. Xie, my subordinates are toothless and unforgettable." ”

As he was talking, the two of them arrived at the door of a tightly built and strangely shaped house, Du Xu knew that this was the fire room, turned around and pushed the door in, turned back to Li San and said, "You go down first to pack the fresh medicinal materials and carry them to the warehouse, don't leave anyone in the warehouse, wait for something, I'll find someone to call you." ”

After speaking, no matter what Li San's reaction was, he closed the door and locked it.

This is a large five-bedroom room, the innermost room is the Dan room where the Dan furnace is placed, and there is a carbon room, two pharmacies, and a quiet room in the back.

There are several rows of large cabinets in the pharmacy, the dense drawers on the cabinets are filled with concocted medicinal materials, the Dan room is very professionally arranged, the air inlet and outlet are all leading to the outside of the house, in the middle is a large Dan furnace with a height of one zhang, made of refined copper, the charcoal fire has been burned under the Dan furnace, and the small warm maintenance of this Dan furnace, Du Xu saw it, couldn't help but nodded, very satisfied with Li San's carefulness.
