Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 8
Gu Dan was rewarded again, 500 taels of cash.

It is said that Emperor Zong Ming was overjoyed after seeing the colorful Tai Sui presented by Pang Qi. This object coincides with the way of longevity and has a very good meaning.

Not to mention the existence of five colors, there is no second in the world, which is very suitable for him.

It's just that it was slightly inferior to the white deer presented by the alchemist, and didn't get the first prize.

Even so, it is also rewarding!
Tai Hospital, which has been shrouded in the shadow of alchemists for ten years, seems to have a second spring recently.

Even the imperial physician is no longer as leisurely as that, and occasionally he will be summoned by dignitaries.

It's just that Gu Dan doesn't have the energy to pay attention to these for the time being, because Mo Qiu is finally back!

"Brother Mo, long time no see, what is this?"

Seeing Mo Qiu again, Gu Dan was quite surprised.

Mo Qiu was still so big, he looked like a giant up close, but there was more inseparable worry between his brows, his clothes were full of dust, and his face was quite dignified.

"It's a long story."

Mo Qiu sighed, "I feel uneasy after seeing the bandits this time!"

"Let's go, let's clean up the dust for you first, and speak slowly."

Gu Dan chose a restaurant with high-quality dishes and asked for a private room.

"The place where the bandits are suppressed is still a hundred miles away from the imperial capital. The mountains are lingering, and the road is dangerous. The bandits are entrenched in the mountains and forests, and the government raises their troops to capture them and they disperse like birds and beasts. There is little effect. So I didn't rush for a while after accepting the reward."

Mo Qiu picked up the jug, took a big gulp and said, "But soon I discovered that the bandits in the bandit suppressing land are far beyond the government's expectations, and they have become a climate!"

"Oh?"

Gu Dan was also a little surprised, "How dare you be a hundred miles away from the imperial capital?"

If three or two kittens are not too much, the government is too lazy to take care of them.

Dare to scream and gather in the mountains and forests, do you really think that the iron fist can't hit yourself?

It’s dark under the lights, but it’s not telling you to light the lanterns!

"I came to the imperial capital because of floods in Yuzhou. Tens of thousands of people were displaced and 10 were homeless. Man-made disaster!"

The jug was put back on the table with a bang, and Mo Qiu said coldly: "Yuzhou has just experienced a natural disaster, but during the period, the tax has to be increased! And it is definitely not a one-year increase. In terms of integration, it will be at least five years. number!"

"Sigh~"

Gu Dan couldn't help but gasped, "How dare he?!"

The matter of taxation is related to the livelihood of the people, and one piece of room can be said to be a matter of human life.

The natural disaster has not yet passed, and the tax will be increased for five years, I am afraid I am not crazy!
"Oh, Yuzhou is already a major food producing area. Although the natural disaster is terrible, it can still survive. But when the tax comes this time, I don't know how many people will have their families ruined and their livelihoods lost!
According to the culprits, members of the White Lotus Sect have taken the opportunity to stir up trouble and incite the common people.There are also disaster victims who know that they have no way out, so they might as well join the bandits, which greatly increases the number of bandits. "

At this point, Mo Qiu was already full of murderous intent.

Even though Gu Dan knew that the killing intent was not aimed at him, he still felt chills all over his body.

Suddenly, he thought of what Xu Zhian had said to him.

"The current emperor has practiced Taoism for ten years.After ten years of asking, I have achieved something, and should be congratulated by both the government and the public'

Ha, congratulations to both the ruling and opposition parties!
It really is Haiyan Heqing, the world is peaceful!
Gu Dan's palms are already turning white, even if he feels sorry for her, so what?

He is just a mere ninth-rank doctor, what is it?
The last imperial doctor who advised the dog emperor not to be obsessed with cultivation has all gone.

On the contrary, the imperial physician is now flattering and flattering, and the rewards are soft.

The people in the court already knew how to act.

Emperor Zongming didn't go to court for ten years, so he was not used to it, and he had already stayed away from the place of right and wrong in the officialdom.

Dog Emperor, you must die a terrible death!
The atmosphere during the dinner became dull, and neither of them had much interest.

After a while, Gu Dan cheered up and said, "Don't talk about state affairs. Brother Mo, why don't you tell me how much you have gained from this trip to suppress bandits?"

Talking about this matter, Mo Qiu's complexion finally improved a little, "Because the number of bandits has increased greatly, the reward offered this time has also increased a lot. Although it took several months, I still got a reward of 300 taels of silver."

300 taels is an extremely high number.

If ordinary people want to save so much, it is impossible for the whole family to be exhausted to death.

But the suppression of bandits is inherently dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. If the government sends troops to encircle and suppress the bandits, the materials, money and food consumed will be far more than this amount.

"300 taels"

Gu Dan looked puzzled, he didn't do anything, and his income during this period was more than twice that of Mo Qiu's exhausted work.

In terms of ability, he is far inferior to Mo Qiu.

But his family has passed down three generations of imperial doctors, and now even if there is only one seedling left, someone still takes care of him, and he is very leisurely every day, not to mention the white-collar salary, and the benefits of sharing the benefits are not left behind.

In addition, there are some intangible conveniences. For example, the medicinal materials he needs for the diagnosis and treatment of prisoners in the prison are all from the Imperial Hospital, and no money is required.

This is not his prerogative, every imperial doctor with an official position is like this.

Only certain precious medicinal materials need to be recorded when they are used.

To put it bluntly, even if he is a complete mess, as long as he doesn't touch gambling and drugs, relying on the remaining property and prescriptions at home, not to mention a lifetime of rich clothes and fine food, the life of a chic and ordinary person can't be easier.

It wasn't until then that Gu Dan suddenly realized that the second generation was actually me!
"300 taels sounds like a lot, but it's really expensive, and it's like flowing water flowing eastward, disappearing in the blink of an eye." Mo Qiu looked a little helpless, "I don't want to join those princes and nobles, really."

"The gangster didn't leave any gold or silver property?" Gu Dan asked curiously.

"That's a bad word."

Mo Qiu immediately shook his head, and said seriously: "The money obtained by the bandits is the property of killing people, robbing merchants, and persecuting the common people. A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a proper way. When he gets the money, he spends it on himself, and he has nothing to do with the bandit." What's the difference? I have used all the money I got from the bandits to help the victims, and there is nothing left."

"Brother Mo is so righteous! Listening to Jun's words is better than reading ten years of books!"

Gu was worried, and immediately said: "Brother Mo's strength is far beyond what anyone can match, but the matter of suppressing bandits is extremely dangerous after all. This matter must be repeated again and again, and the opponent who suppresses bandits one after another must be prepared. Life and death are in danger, it's really not a good way to go. In contrast, Brother Mo has skills, so is he interested in opening a martial arts gym?"

"Martial arts?"

Mo Qiu thought for a while, then shook his head, "Life in the martial arts hall is not easy these days. Just to buy a venue, every inch of land in the imperial capital is expensive. If you buy a suitable courtyard for 300 taels of silver, there will be nothing left. In the middle To gain fame and recruit students, I don't know how many years it will take."

Martial arts are not something you can open only if you have the ability.

Others have to recognize it!
There is no masked person above, who can resist going to your house to make trouble every three days?

Not to mention that alchemists are highly respected nowadays, and there are far more people who are willing to go to the alchemist temple than to the martial arts hall.

One is up to Tianting, and the other is looking after the home and nursing home. There is no need to consider the choice between them.

But Gu Dan clapped his hands and said: "Ha, it just so happens that my father left a residence in Beijing that is not bad. I have never been there on weekdays, and I am idle there. If Brother Mo is interested, you and I will open a martial arts family together. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a drugstore, a pharmacy?”

Mo Qiu shook his head again and again, "That's the house left by your father, how can it be dismantled and turned into a martial arts gym? It doesn't fit the sentiment or reason!"

"No! When my father was still alive, I told you that if you don't have any skills, you don't need to wait in the hospital. You can make a living by opening a pharmacy. It's just that I'm still ignorant and I don't dare to make mistakes. I just heard Brother Mo mention the difficulties. With such thoughts, you and I live as neighbors, and we can take care of each other.

What's more, there is no separation between medicine and martial arts, and if they promote each other, the business may be more prosperous.Even if there is no one there, there is no need to spend a lot of money, the place will never run away! "

Mo Qiu just said it, but Gu Dan had already thought about it.

Although Tai Hospital is very good, it is not his home.

Not to mention that the current Imperial Physician Order has been making troubles all the time.

I often walk by the river, how can I not wet my shoes?
Wucai Tai Sui taught Gu Dan a lesson, his caution was far from enough, and he also made up his mind for him.

It's time to move out of the hospital!
"This"

Mo Qiu hesitated.

It's not that he hasn't thought about opening a martial arts gym.

It’s just that the cost and time cost to pay are too high, and regardless of whether there are apprentices or not, a pharmacist has to be found to support it-it’s normal for martial arts to be damaged, and it’s impossible without a pharmacist in charge, which is another big expense .

"Brother Mo teaches people with martial arts, and I set up the site and treat people. During the period, the revenue can be divided into [-] and [-], what do you think?" Gu Dan strikes while the iron is hot, "To be honest, I want to learn some martial arts myself, but outside I'm really worried about the martial arts school. If Brother Mo is willing to teach, it would be great."

Mo Qiu looked at Gu Dan, and Gu Dan met his gaze without hesitation, with only anticipation and excitement in his eyes.

For this day, he waited for more than four months!
Although most of the reasons are to avoid the attention of interested people, the waiting is also real.

"Brother Gu is kind."

As Mo Qiu thought about it, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Fifty-five split accounts, to say that is an understatement.

He only needs to sit down and teach others, and the other party will take care of the rest.

It is by no means as simple as a simple sentence to give out the territory and diagnose and treat others.

Among other things, if you want to open a martial arts gym in the imperial capital, you have to get a certificate from the government first, and go through the joints to ensure that you won't cheat people into paying money and then turn around and run away.

Just this one step stopped an unknown number of people.

Of course, he also knew that Gu Dan was on duty at the Imperial Hospital, three generations of imperial doctors in his family, and even himself a ninth-rank doctor, so there must be some relationship.

"Brother Mo, even if you don't agree, I will definitely open a pharmacy. How much more can I spend if I open the martial arts gym? If nothing else, even if the bottom line is lost, the Tai Hospital will have to pay for it at any time." Let us have a bite to eat."

Seeing Mo Qiu move, Gu Dan said impatiently.

"Since that's the case, then please trouble Brother Gu!"

Mo Qiu nodded, the conditions offered by the other party couldn't be better, even preferential treatment is not enough to describe.

Even if it is impossible to do something, it is just a waste of time, and it is right to practice martial arts.

"Haha, come, drink and drink!"

Gu worried about Zhong Dachang.

It is inevitable to open a medicine shop, but for a martial art shop, it is purely for Mo Qiu.

Although he has not known Mo Qiu for a long time, no matter what he saw in the prison or the conversation at this time, it is not difficult to see that he has his own bottom line, and his bottom line is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

He is at ease practicing martial arts with this person.

Getting along day and night, someone giving advice, is even more desirable.

After drinking and eating, Gu Dan didn't hesitate at all, and directly dragged Mo Qiu to the old house left to him by the cheap father.

According to the rules of the previous life, if the imperial palace is divided into the first ring, the house left by the father is a little further away from the second ring.

It is more than enough to open a martial arts gym, and it is easy to set aside a medicine shop for him.

Do you understand the gold content of the three generations of imperial doctors in the family!

After handing over a key to Mo Qiu, Gu Dan didn't stop and was about to get down to business right away.

Holding the key to the Gu family's old house, Mo Qiu still hadn't realized it.

"Brother Gu, you really are"

After thinking about it, even though he was well-informed, he didn't think of a suitable vocabulary.

He and Gu Dan have only known each other for more than three months, and they haven't seen each other for two months.

But the other party was so entrusted that he directly handed over the keys of the old house to him!
What kind of trust is this?

On the other side, Gu Dan had already run back to the Imperial Hospital and put on his ninth-rank official uniform.

Although it is really nothing in the ninth rank of the imperial capital, it depends on who you compare with.

It's not that he wants to compete for the crown jewel, rank nine is enough.

As for whether Mo Qiu would take the keys and run away with the money?

Gu Dan didn't have this worry at all.

Let's not say that the other party has no problem with his behavior or style, so what if he really misses it?
It's just a loss of a little money, plus a thorough look at a person.

Ordinary people have a lot in their lives, so it is inevitable that they need to care about every detail, and even risk their lives to fight for temporary gains and losses.

As long as he heals illnesses and saves people in a safe and sound manner, immortality is by no means vain.

Handing the key directly to Mo Qiu and then running away without a trace was not so much a test of Mo Qiu's heart than his big heart.

No matter how nice it sounds, it may not be true.

Before he left, he specifically told the family that there was some money left, and Mo Qiu could use it by himself.

If the other party really wants to take it, then just take it.

Even if a fire burns down the old house, he doesn't care at all.

The background of three generations of imperial physicians gave him enough capital for trial and error.

And if the other party didn't run away, it proved that his trust was worthwhile.

From now on, he can practice martial arts with Mo Qiu with peace of mind. There will be no harm and no harm!
Time flies, seven days have passed.

Sitting in the lobby, Mo Qiu couldn't help being a little dazed when he heard the clanging sounds around him.

After a while, he murmured to himself: "Brother Gu, what a strange person!"

During these seven days, Gu Dan never came back.

On the third day, a group of people came in with food. Mo Qiu thought it was a thief and almost caught him on the spot.

In the end, when I asked, it was a little brother who asked them to come and demolish the house, saying that it was going to be built into a martial arts gym.

If there is someone in the family, you can tell when you ask, and it is up to him to make the decision.

Mo Qiu's mood at that time was really hard to describe in words.

Now the work in the yard is in full swing, but the real owner of the yard is not there at all.

Workers always come to Mo Qiu when they have problems, what can Mo Qiu do?
The Tai Hospital also went to ask once, but there was no sign of Gu Dan.

That can only be done with your own ideas.

He asked himself that he knew countless people and had a lot of experience, but it was the first time he had seen someone like Gu Dan.

If it wasn't for their dissimilarity, he would have suspected that Gu Dan was his long-lost brother.

"Haha, brother Mo. Are you busy these few days? Everything is done."

Mo Qiu was still thinking about it, but Gu Dan had already stepped into the door and greeted him with a smile.
