Chapter 36, enthusiastic about public welfare

In the next few days, Pan Long finally settled down.

Winters in the Northland are extremely harsh, and the thick snow that covers the land brings not only cold, but also many succubi and demons hiding beneath the snow and ice in [New Vertex].

It's a dangerous thing to leave the town and go out in this season - the towns in the Northland are all covered by formations, and most of the demons are difficult to approach, and even if they do, they can often warn one or two, so that the residents can be on guard.

So in the town, it's relatively safe in general. But once you leave the town, it's dangerous and nightly terrors. Not to mention the barren mountains and mountains and other places that are not peaceful in the first place, even in the farmland that is cultivated every year, there may be a snow ray or ice charm from under the ice and snow - these monsters born of the cold sense, but as long as they are not specially protected, they can be bred anywhere.

Every winter, the towns of the Northland are cut off from each other. Unless there is an emergency, open the communication circle of each town. Otherwise, it is often from September of the previous year to March of the following year, for almost half a year, the towns in the Northland are in a state of no sound.

During this time, the Northlanders spent most of their time at home, relying on cellars and fires to keep warm, except for the occasional outing to destroy the monsters that approached the town. The formation in the city would work every night, sending warmth to the bedrooms of every household and preventing people from freezing to death at night.

But even so, many people freeze to death every winter. So much so that when it comes to the thaw season, the first major event in every town in the Northland is to send the dead to their burials.

The situation in Dingfeng Town is generally good, and this winter did not freeze to death until the 24th of the lunar month.

The two of them did not die of poverty, but they were old and frail, their qi and blood were exhausted, and they couldn't stand the cold. Some time ago, it snowed every day, and they hardly left the bedroom, but it was okay. On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, it was sunny, and the sun was very good, and the two old neighbors, who were more than 120 years old, had to come out to bask in the sun and play chess and drink.

During the day, they were quite energetic. But at night, it suddenly doesn't work. The children hurriedly found the doctor, but before they could even take the pulse, the person had already gone.

When Pan Long went to mourn, he was speechless when he learned of this situation.

This is nine cold winters, no matter how good the sun is, it will drip into ice, you two old men don't stay in the bedroom to keep warm, what are you doing out?

Just go out and bask in the sun for a while, and play chess?

Do you think you've lived too long?

He complained in his heart, but after condolence, he still talked to his father about it.

Half an hour later, the father and son of the Pan family found the town guard Mancang and the town lieutenant Yuan Xu of Dingfeng Town, and proposed to donate some medicine and wine to the families of the old people in the town to avoid similar situations from happening again.

Among the two chief officials of Dingfeng Town, Yuan Xu is a congenital master, more than ten years younger than Pan Long's grandfather Pan Shou, and he followed Pan Shou when he first came out of the rivers and lakes.

The two of them naturally knew that almost all kinds of secret medicinal wines were available in the Northland, but they had never had the idea of these medicinal wines.

First, it is taboo to inquire about other people's ancestral secret recipes, and second, most of these medicinal liquors are expensive, and it is unrealistic to want to mass-produce them and provide them to middle- and lower-income families in the town.

But the Pan family offered to donate medicine and wine this time, and they naturally would not object.

If someone else, they may still guess "whether this kid wants to buy people's hearts and empty the court", but if they change to the Pan family, they will hehehe.

At that time, Pan Shou was the lieutenant of Dingfeng Town, if he hadn't muttered "I want to find a warm place to spend the winter" and insisted on resigning to settle in the Central Plains, this Dingfeng Town lieutenant would probably still be him.

And...... If it weren't for his strong recommendation, and Pan Lei resolutely resigned, most of the town lieutenants would have been replaced by Pan Lei.

Not to mention that Pan Lei is a talented man who participated in the imperial examination in Yizhou, which has an outstanding literary style, and was once specially summoned by Bei Anbo, both civil and military, even Wei Mancang sighed to himself, and there is no problem in being a town.

With such a family, why should there be doubts?

With the Pan family's status in Dingfeng Town, they still need to play this set!

The two asked the clerk to bring the account book, and calculated against the account book, and needed three hundred and seven copies of medicine and wine. Pan Long immediately went home and fetched so much medicinal wine.

They are all small wine jars weighing one pound, and more than 300 jars are neatly placed on the ground, which looks spectacular.

Next, the citizens of Dingfeng Town all went out, checked the list on the account book, visited the middle and lower families with the elderly one by one, sent a jar of medicinal wine, and explained the usage.

Of course, they will not forget to emphasize that this is a gift from Young Master Pan Longpan to the old people.

Young Master Pan wandered the rivers and lakes and found that there was hunger on the south road, he felt very unbearable, so he donated these medicinal wines, hoping to at least help the old villagers in the town have a stable winter. ”

So the townsfolk were grateful—well, that might be an exaggeration, but the good things were really said I don't know how much. If Pan Long has a treasure that is not the Classic of Mountains and Seas but the Kyushu Ding, maybe at this time, he will see a hint like "Prestige plus 20, public opinion plus 10, and your favorability in Dingfeng Town has reached the 'reverence' level......

What is Pan Long doing now?

He's concocting more medicated liquor.

The recipe of Pan's cold-proof medicinal wine is actually not a secret, it is nothing more than a yang heat tonic based on it, plus some adjuvant combinations. There are many powerful people in the north of this formula, and even many ordinary people know it. The only problem is that medicinal materials are relatively expensive, and even if ordinary people know the prescription, it is useless.

But these are not a problem for Pan Long, he has obtained a lot of precious drugs from the dragon slaying treasure, and if those drugs are the main drugs, the auxiliary drugs can be greatly reduced, and the manufacturing cost will naturally be greatly reduced—at least from the perspective of auxiliary drugs, it is indeed greatly reduced.

As for the main drug...... Most of them are priceless things, and it doesn't make much sense to consider the cost......

Anyway, that's how he explained it to his father.

Listening to his explanation, Pan Lei couldn't cry or laugh.

"The priceless elixir is used by everyone to refine and improve the strength of the secret medicine that breaks through the barriers, and at worst it is used to heal the wounds. "It's better for you to use them to make cold medicine wine!" he shook his head and said, "It's a waste of a cow chewing peonies!"

"If you can cure diseases and save people, how can you call it waste?" Pan Long asked with a smile, "Martial arts masters are a life, and our folks in Dingfeng Town are also a life." Everyone has two eyes and one mouth, who is more noble than whom?"

Pan Lei thought for a while, smiled and nodded: "No wonder you can get the recognition of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, your idea is quite similar to what our ancestors thought back then." ”

Pan Long smiled but did not speak.

The fact that he can be recognized by the Classic of Mountains and Seas probably has nothing to do with what he thinks, only with his background.

Who told him to be the same as Zhao Sheng, the first generation master of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, who was a traverser......
