Chapter 16: A Brief Introduction to Gold Creation
After the autumn harvest in the 22nd year of Zongming, Emperor Zongming had a fast feast and offered sacrifices to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth with great momentum.

Different from the previous Zhaijiao, this time Emperor Zongming recounted his merits and virtues, declared his political achievements and looked forward to the future during the Zongjiao.

He actually named himself 'Lingxiao Shangqing Lei Yuanyang Miao Yifeixuan Zhenjun'!
All in all, destiny is mine.

And the Gu family's old house was finally cleaned up and opened for business.

"It's a pity that you didn't go, that scene, tsk tsk"

On the wine table, Xu Zhian beamed brightly, telling what he had seen and heard about the feast.

All the civil and military officials were able to arrive, and the alchemists of Qingfengguan also ran at full capacity, and the ceremony was held in a grand and grand manner.

The rare treasures presented by all parties are even more dazzling.

The imperial physician ordered Pang Qi to sit in the main seat, blushing from drinking, at this moment he glanced sideways at Gu Dan, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "This kid has no ambition to make progress. After receiving the emperor's gift, he wants to open a medicine shop by himself. Really! .It should be punished!"

Today's imperial physician Ling Pang Qi no longer has the appearance of self-pity and self-pity before, his face is radiant and red, and his whole body is full of the second spring in his life.

After his unremitting efforts, the Tai Hospital finally found a living space under the haze of alchemists.

More importantly, the previous treasure offering was in line with Emperor Zongming's wishes. Although he didn't win the first prize, the Taiyuan Hospital also made a big splash.

And during the sacrificial offering held by Emperor Zongming, he also took the opportunity to meet the third prince, and it is said that they had a very happy chat!
With his fortune and future settled, Pang Qi's mental outlook naturally changed.Sweeping away the irritable and irritable look when he was promoted and demoted secretly, and was bullied by alchemists.

Gu Dan's martial arts gym and medicine shop opened together today, and it is only natural that Pang Qi, a fifth-rank imperial physician, sits at the top.

It is no exaggeration to say that Pang Qi's presence was a way of giving him face.

"The kid punishes himself with three cups!"

Gu Dan picked up the wine cup and drank it down.

"It's almost there."

Pang Qi was very satisfied with Gu Dan's attitude, and said: "Even if you open a pharmacy yourself, you are still a member of the hospital. If there is anyone who doesn't have eyes"

Pang Qi glanced at another table farther away, and snorted coldly: "Then you don't have to be polite to them!"

Following his gaze, Prisoner Wang and several jailers were at the same table by themselves, but they were extremely honest, even speaking in a soft voice.

Noticing Pang Qi's sweeping gaze, he immediately raised the wine cup in his hand with a flattering smile on his face.

But Pang Qi just glanced at it and didn't bother to pay attention at all.

As far as he is concerned, the jailers in these prisons are all greedy, mean, and greedy mud legs. Even when the hospital is at its worst, not all jailers can be compared.

Unless it's Jin Yiwei.

"People's vision is very important. Who you deal with determines your future path. You must remember it!" Pang Qi earnestly taught.

"You said so."

Gu Dan just nodded.

For this meal, quite a few colleagues from the Tai Hospital came. Except for the people from the Tai Hospital, only prison head Wang and a few jailers came to congratulate him.

The Mohist martial arts gym and health medicine shop have officially opened.

After drinking and eating, the imperial physician ordered Pang Qi to go out leaning on the wall, and said that the cook was good.

The rest of the imperial doctors also resigned in twos and threes, and Gu Dan personally sent them to the door.

After the people from the Imperial Hospital had finished leaving, Gu Dan quickly walked to the table at the head of the Wang prison, held the wine cup and said, "Today I really neglected my brothers, I will punish myself with a drink!"

"Hey, brother Gu, what are you talking about?" Laotou Wang hurriedly stood up and picked up the wine glass first, "It's thanks to your blessing that we can come here, otherwise how can we taste the craftsmanship in the palace?"

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that even the imperial physician's order came. Brother Gu is really a real person!" The rest of the jailers also got up to congratulate.

During the few months in prison, Gu Dan would go there every day, so he became acquainted with them.

The most important thing is that Gu Dan never puts on airs, and treats people kindly and kindly.

Knowing that he was going to open a martial arts gym and medicine shop, they naturally stopped by to congratulate him.

It's just that compared with the group of old men in Tai Hospital, after all, we have to step back a little.

The excitement was too hospital-like, and they didn't dare to speak loudly.

There are relatives and estrangements among people, so of course Gu Dan has to be accompanied by people from the Tai Hospital. This is human nature.

The first few people in Wang Lao knew it well, and they wouldn't feel neglected, after all, Gu Dan was considered a high rise if he could set up a table for them!
"Don't be so polite, there is enough food and drink, if you don't get drunk today, you won't go home!" Gu Dan said with a smile.

"The taste of this drink is much better than the ones in restaurants. It's a pity that I still have a public job, so I don't dare to get drunk." Prisoner Wang felt a little regretful, and then pulled out a young man who looked about eight or nine years old from his side. appearance.

That's right, he brought his family over for dinner.

And he was the only one who brought his family.

"This is Gouzi. He is the second child in the family, and his name is mang. The eldest can follow me to inherit the family business, but this kid is very inconspicuous. He knows how to catch fish all day long and is not doing his job properly. It will not be a problem if this continues. Son, when I learned that Brother Gu was going to open a martial arts gym, I thought about it, what do you think of this kid?" Wang Laotou asked.

"Wang Mang? Good name, good."

The smile on Gu Dan's face froze suddenly, "Wang Mang?!"

The young man called Wang Mang has a tiger head and a tiger brain, and his big eyes are rolling around. At this time, he looked at Gu Dan without any fear, and even murmured: "He just looks good, what can he teach me?" ? I don't want to study medicine."

"You have no place to speak!"

Wang Lao slapped Wang Mang on the head, and immediately reprimanded him.

"I don't care about the martial arts, let Brother Mo come over and take a look." Gu Dan's eyes were rather complicated. The name Wang Mang was not considered high-end and classy, ​​it should be just the same name.

Mo Qiu came over and slapped Wang Mang twice. The skin color of the little guy, who was still alive and well just now, had turned into that of a ripe prawn, and he could only barely snuggle up to Wang Laotou's body.

"The blood energy is not bad, and the root bones are fine." Mo Qiu nodded, "If you practice hard, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve something."

"This kid weighed six catties and seven taels when he was born, so I knew he was a good seed for martial arts!"

There was joy on Wang Laotou's face. He knew Mo Qiu's skills very well. When he met dozens of thugs, he would chop melons and chop vegetables. Learning from such a person, even a little superficial learning is enough to benefit him for a lifetime.

"How much money do you think you need for a month?" After making up his mind, Wang Laotou asked cautiously.

It is true that martial arts are not booming now, and what can be learned is the ability to settle down.

A few taels of silver is less than a month, and dozens of taels are more!
And this is just tuition fees.

After paying the tuition fee, do you spend money on meals?
In this day and age, it is not easy to have enough food.

Most of the common people only eat some meat during the Chinese New Year, and it is not bad to wipe the pot with pigskin on weekdays.

If you can have two meals of meat in three days, you can definitely be called a wealthy family.

Even if it is exercise, it is not enough to exercise vigorously and eat two meals of meat for three days.

It can be seen from this that those who can go to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts are definitely not ordinary people.

Although he is considered a leader in the prison, he is quite lucrative, but if he wants his son to learn martial arts, it will cost his family money!

"If you practice low-grade martial arts, you will pay ten taels of silver per month. Regardless of whether you eat or live, you can receive a health-care medicine package every month." Mo Qiu said.

This is the price he and Gu Dan have already negotiated.

Low-grade martial arts, ten taels of silver per month, is neither high nor low in the martial arts gym in the imperial capital, and the conditions are similar, neither out of the ordinary nor outstanding.

The vast majority of people don't want to study in martial arts for a few years or more than ten years, but they start to practice or go out to make a living after learning for a few months.

"You mean, I can still learn middle-grade martial arts with you?"

But Wang Laotou's heart moved, he heard the implication, and asked immediately.

Martial arts is to teach, not pass on.

Naturally, education is mostly commonplace.

If you want to learn truly extraordinary martial arts, you often have to kowtow and worship three times, pay big gifts to be regarded as a teacher, and pay a lot of money every month to pay filial piety to make it possible!

If you don't like it, even if you have been filial for more than ten years, you only pass it on two or three times, and it is already "unique knowledge".

"Mid-grade martial arts can also be taught. If you have no foundation before, 50 taels of silver in the first month, 20 taels a month after that, and two health-care medicine packs will be given as gifts." Mo Qiu said without hesitation.

Even if he was mentally prepared, Laotou Wang couldn't help but gasped.

The first month will cost 50 taels of silver, which is enough for five months of low-grade martial arts training!

Although later it became 20 taels, only twice that of low-grade martial arts, it was no longer a price he could afford.

"Hey, you have no power to do it!" Wang Lao shook his head and sighed.

Even if he knows that he can sit on one side after completing the middle-grade martial arts, the price is not something he can afford.

Gu Dan clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said: "Well, the opening of the martial arts hall should be celebrated. Wang Mang is the first one who wants to come. The first three apprentices will be half price within half a year! The first ten One more health medicine pack will be presented every month.”

"Really?" Prisoner Wang was overjoyed.

In this case, only 25 taels of silver will be needed in the first month, and only [-] taels will be needed later on, which is no different from low-grade martial arts.

Although I can only enjoy it for half a year, what I have learned is more than one step higher!
"With my guarantee, can there be a fake?" Gu Dan said with a smile.

Wang Laotou stared at Wang Mang, gritted his teeth and said, "I will be the first one, and I will learn middle-grade martial arts!"

"Of course. Prisoner Wang has many friends, please help spread the word." Gu Dan said again.

"That's natural!"

The names of some friends have already begun to appear in Wang Laotou's mind. The price of middle-grade martial arts is half a year, as long as you get started, you will earn blood!
Even if you just practice by yourself later, you will be much better than ordinary warriors.

After finalizing the matter, they chatted a few more words, and everyone left, looking more eager than him.

Don't think about it, the first three places will definitely be occupied by friends of Laotou Wang's group.

But so what?
This opening event is just an opportunity for Gu Dan to publicize his reputation and tell others that the Mohist martial arts school can teach middle-grade martial arts.

Activities are just an addition, and Mo Qiu's ability is the real core competitiveness.

As for the middle-grade martial arts taught, naturally it is not written directly and thrown to the other party, but broken down into steps, learning as much as you can learn.

If you have skills in your body and want to come to the Mohist martial arts school to learn middle-grade martial arts, then it is not the price.

Only with diamonds can we dare to do porcelain work!

He and Mo Qiu also need money to practice martial arts, so it is only natural that they spend more time.

"Let's take a look at the gifts from colleagues in the Taiyuan Hospital."

The opening banquet was not a free meal, his colleagues all prepared a gift for him, and even several brothers from the head of the prison Wang also contributed a lot of money, which was more or less a wish.

Gu Dan was the first to pick up the gift box from Pang Qi, the imperial physician, and opened it.

"Tsk, 300 taels of silver!"

Gu Dan didn't expect Pang Qi to be so generous.

The 300 taels is not so much a congratulations, but an investment in him.

Even if he wants to stay away from right and wrong, he still keeps a good relationship.

It's no wonder that after ten years of silence, he still took advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Zongming's fasting ceremony to hook up with the third prince.

"Look at Uncle Xu's again." Gu Dan grabbed another gift box and quickly opened it. Inside was a hundred taels of silver, and a prescription?

Gu Dan picked up the prescription and looked at it carefully.

What is written on it is a special kind of medicinal wine, its name is [Duanhun Burn].

As the name suggests, one sip of it will burn your soul away. Ordinary people can't hold it at all, even martial arts masters can't drink too much.

It is similar to the legendary three bowls but the same effect.

The medicinal materials needed in it are all good, even the imperial doctor would have to shake his eyebrows when he saw it.

Considering his family background, it would cost a lot of money to brew a Duanhun Shao. The things needed are shocking, and most people dare not even think about it.

In addition, several kinds of animal bones are required to be refined in a special way, and the base wine must be at least 50 years old, the stronger the better.

On the back of the prescription was written Xu Zhian's advice, this special medicinal wine was obtained by chance when he was young, and it was only calculated based on the medicines needed in it, unless one is completely exhausted, one must not drink it, otherwise it will be true to its name, and drinking it will kill the soul.

Only those who are truly strong in martial arts and whose blood is far beyond ordinary people can try it.

Putting this thing in his place is also a pearl and dusty, since Gu Dan wants to open a martial arts gym with someone, it may be used.

"Uncle Xu is also interested."

Gu Dan put away the medicinal wine prescription carefully, although he doesn't need it now, but there will be a time when he will.

As for the congratulatory gifts from other imperial physicians, they naturally couldn't compare with Pang Qi and Xu Zhian.

One is rich and powerful, and the other is very connected.

"what?"

Suddenly, Gu Dan felt a mahogany box.

Opening the mahogany box, there was a ginseng plant lying quietly inside, with long stalks, old and tough, clear and long, decorated with small pimples in the shape of millet grains, and on the top of the hair roots, there were fine and deep screw-shaped horizontal lines. Lines, horizontal lines appear quite rough.

"Wild ginseng?!"

Gu Dan was quite surprised.

There are records in medical books: wild ginseng can greatly tonify vitality, restore pulse and solidify, nourish spleen and lung, promote body fluid and soothe the nerves.

Just looking at the size of this wild ginseng, it must be decades old, maybe even hundreds of years old.

The important thing is that it is expensive, and there is no market for it.

What is even more eye-catching is that beside the wild ginseng, there is actually a book wrapped in red silk.

It is not difficult to see that the gift giver feels that wild ginseng cannot be compared with that in the book.

Gu Dan picked it up curiously, and uncovered the red silk.

"Golden Creation Essentials."
