Jade spy border

Chapter 88 Chess Game
At noon the next day, Mi Yuyan was mixing incense in the warehouse when she heard a bamboo whistle outside. The sound was very small, as if it was just to reach her ears. She stood up and walked out, opened the courtyard door, looked around, and listened again. The bamboo whistle rang twice, and this time she heard it clearly, coming from the big tree outside the deserted house.

After closing the courtyard door casually, Mi Yuyan slowly walked there, feeling a little helpless. It had only been a few days, but those old men on the mountain were already worried?Ning Jue and Ning De were counting on her Ziying Qingfeng, but Sang Wan, maybe it was because of something.

"You girl have only been down the mountain for a few days, and you are already tired? I haven't seen you going out to practice martial arts since I woke up in the morning. I have no choice but to look for you like this." Xuanyin also knew that it was taboo to blow the bamboo whistle rashly, so she couldn't help but bring her He explained with complaint.

Mi Yuyan has been practicing kung fu with Ying Tong and Pei Jie at night these past few days. She hardly goes out during the day and spends her time at home making incense.

"If I work harder, wouldn't it be more hopeless for you, senior brother?" Mi Yuyan was still relaxed when she was with Xuanyin. While teasing him, there was a bit of a joking smile on her face.

"Uh..." Xuanyin really didn't know how to respond to Mi Yuyan's words. He originally thought there was something unusual about Mi Yuyan, so he suddenly stopped practicing as per his usual habits, but he was surprised by her. Laughed.

"Senior brother, don't worry. I just have to mix some new fragrances these days, so I have temporarily canceled my morning classes. Senior brother, hurry up and practice more, and try to catch up with me as soon as possible!" Mi Yuyan handed Xuanyin the steps. , while continuing to expose his shortcomings, making him a little bit dumbfounded.

Xuanyin waved his hand: "Okay, okay, stop making fun of me. Master said, it's not my problem. The gap between us is the gap in talent. I can't control this thing. The real person sent me down the mountain and said You asked me to come to you to get something, whatever it is, please bring it to me quickly so that I can return to the mountain and recover."

When Mi Yuyan heard Xuanyin's words, she couldn't help but smile and raise her eyebrows. She knew that he must have been upset and practiced hard, and Ningde knew about it, so she had no choice but to comfort him like this. She did have some ideas, maybe she could help Xuanyin. , but those methods in the mountain gate were in the military, and it was difficult for her to justify it, so she simply ignored it.

"Senior brother, please wait a moment. I'll go get it right now. In addition, I would like to ask Master Ming to tell you that I will be going up the mountain in two days. Please take the time to meet me. In addition, I have something else and I would like to see Sang Wan. Sir, please tell me, Senior Brother, to Uncle Ningde."

Xuanyin was only responsible for fetching things and delivering messages anyway, and the head teacher had already sent him to look for this girl twice in a row. He expected that she would not be missing, so he nodded happily and agreed.

Mi Yuyan turned around to leave, but Xuanyin stopped her: "Wait a moment, master asked me to bring you some pills."

Mi Yuyan turned around and saw Xuanyin handing over the small baggage on her shoulder. She couldn't help but be a little stunned: "This, I'm afraid it breaks the rules of the mountain gate, right? What did Master Ningde say?"

Xuanyin raised his eyebrows: "What else can I say? Master said that even though you have gone down the mountain, you should not waste yourself. People who practice martial arts will inevitably have some bumps. These pills may be useful. Just a few pills, there are Why are there so many irregularities that Shanmen doesn’t give out enough medicine in a year?”

After Xuanyin said so, Mi Yuyan didn't say anything more. She just took the baggage and returned to her courtyard. Not to mention anything else, the Yaosheng Pills alone would be her next trip up the mountain. She wanted to ask for something from the head master, not for herself, but for Pei Jie and Ying Tong. They really needed this. She had saved it in the past few years, plus what Doctor Qin had given her before she left. She doesn't have much left.

Mi Yuyan returned to her courtyard, opened the bag and took a look. She couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Such a large portion of Yaosheng Pills was an incredible thing, not to mention that there were three or four kinds of Shanmen's secret recipe of various wound medicines inside. , the most rare thing is that there is also a small bottle of Yaorui pills. Although there are only a dozen pills, it is an extremely rare good thing.

Mi Yuyan couldn't help but feel a little hot in her heart. The value of Yaorui Pills was much higher than that of Yaosheng Pills.After entering the mountain gate, Mi Yuyan knew that when she died in her previous life, King Jingnan of the Jing Kingdom and Dayun formed a private alliance. The state of Jie was incorporated into its own territory, while Dayun destroyed Sutem.

However, the relationship between countries is always due to the constant changes in the interests of both parties, and the constant changes in kings and ruling courts. Over the years, Dayun and Jingguo have not been without disputes.And this Yaohua is a national treasure that is only produced in Jingguo, and its output is extremely limited.

It's just that Jingguo has national treasures in vain, but its medical level is extremely low. Because it relies on the medicine of Wanshou Temple in the North, the mountain gate is not cut off from the supply of Yaohua. Even so, whenever there is friction on the border, it will still be cut off. There were repeated exchanges, and then there were repeated negotiations on peace terms, and then reopening of passes and trade.

Therefore, supplying Yao flowers from official channels is actually not enough to meet the needs of Shanmen, so they rely heavily on smuggling. However, the Yao flowers smuggled over are often of poor grade and can only be prepared with other medicinal materials. Get out Yaosheng Pills.

As the name suggests, Yaorui Pills are made from the pistil of Yaorui flowers and supplemented with other medicinal materials. There are extremely high requirements for the freshness and grade of Yaorui flowers. The medicinal effect is several times that of Yaorui Pills. It is used for meridians. It has a very powerful effect on instant recovery after serious injuries, and on those who need to make a breakthrough after practicing to a certain level.

Because of this, Yaorui Pills are basically priced but not available in the market. Shanmen almost never sells this kind of pills. Now it has almost become a legend among warriors. It is those of them who once studied medicine in Shanmen. Disciples have only seen the name and efficacy of this medicine in books, not even the method of making it. This means that Yaorui Pill is a secret that is not passed down by the master. Presumably, only the master of Wanshou Temple in various places has it. There will be a small amount of stock in case of emergency.

Mi Yuyan pursed her lips and thought about this generous gift from Shanmen for a long time. She felt that although there was indeed something extraordinary about Ziying Qingfeng, it was quite different from what Shanmen gave her.

After a while, Mi Yuyan made a decision and recorded the recipe and preparation method of Ziying Qingfeng's incense, and put it into the incense box that had been prepared long ago. She did this without considering the incense and the preparation method of Ziying Qingfeng. She signed the agreement because she believed that Shanmen would never sell it to the private sector, and that this fragrant recipe could only be used to its full potential if it was handed over to Shanmen.

After sending Xuanyin away, Chen Huanzhang came to the door, which suited Mi Yuyan. She had previously asked Ying Tong to go to the inn to find Chen Sanye, but she heard that he had checked out and did not know where he was going. Now He couldn't spare the time to look for her, so he had to give up first. Anyway, if he left Lin Nan, he would always come to let him know.

Mi He invited Chen Huanzhang to serve tea in the flower hall. When he saw Mi Yuyan come in, Chen Huanzhang immediately stood up and said with a smile: "I heard from A He that the old master and others have gone back to the clan to make incense. This year's festival, for my goods, I’m really embarrassed that I have to be busy.”

Mi Yuyan smiled nonchalantly: "Those words of Mr. Chen are reserved to be polite to my great-uncle and eldest uncle. There is no need for Hua Niang to be here. I wonder what Mr. Chen will do when he comes today." thing?"

After hearing this, Chen Huanzhang was a little startled, and then he laughed: "Then just tell the truth in front of the real person. I came to tell Hua Niang that I listened to you and rented a hot spring village at the foot of Linnan Mountain outside the city. , prepare to keep it for the whole winter." Mi Yuyan nodded and said with a smile: "That's very good, wait until next spring, the flowers will bloom, the Hundred Flowers Festival is here, the trade road will be escorted by a large army, and our goods are ready, Chen Sanye will Being able to transport this batch of incense back safely is the best of both worlds.”

When talking about this topic, Chen Huanzhang couldn't help but sigh, and the smile on his face faded a little: "Originally, I was thinking about buying the village I rented, and I would come and live here often. Hua Niang called me But I can only sigh, what a good trade route, but it has been disrupted by bandits, and the toll is heavier than the commercial tax collected by the court. If things go on like this, I'm afraid..."

"If you were selling goods on weekdays, how did you pay the bandits the money to buy the road?" Although Mi Yuyan had heard about it, she didn't know whether it was true or not. When she met a real person and brought up this topic again, of course she had to Ask clearly.

"Go to the ghost market in the Whirlpool Dark City to buy a safe visa. Once you buy a safe visa and encounter bandits robbing you on the way, you can see the visa and let you go. This is a rule that was only established in recent years. Originally, it was all about luck. "Chen Huanzhang answered matter-of-factly.

Mi Yuyan raised her eyebrows: "So, all the bandit villages listen to the orders of Whispering Dark City?"

Chen Huanzhang shook his head: "It's not that I listened to their orders. I heard that, but I just heard that in the intervening years, this trade route basically stopped transporting goods except during the Hundred Flowers Festival. Later, the government A vigorous crackdown did have some effect, but it resulted in a lose-lose situation for both our merchants and bandits."

"I don't know who played a role in the middle. They just said that if this continues, there will be no way for everyone to survive, so they came up with this method. It really happened peacefully. And this safe sign can still be obtained once and for all. It’s quite convenient to use it twice.”

"The government can collect taxes anyway, and merchants don't have to worry all the time. In addition, there are indeed some goods we need in the southwest, and it is safer than taking the sea route, so this rule has continued. As for the mountains It’s unclear how the bandits will divide these benefits.”

Mi Yuyan didn't even bother to ask these questions at first. Knowing these situations now confirmed her suspicions. Even if Whirlpool Dark City couldn't order these bandits, because of the stakes at stake, it could still figure it out. Nine is inseparable. I can only say that this move was extremely clever. I'm afraid it was just a game from the beginning, but the effort and thought spent on the layout can be described as deliberate.

When Chen Huanzhang saw that Mi Yuyan was silent but her face was getting gloomy, he didn't want to talk about this heavy topic anymore, so he simply changed the topic and said, "I heard from Hua Niang that you two have met. I didn't expect that Hua Niang was Pei Erlang's savior." .”

Mi Yuyan didn't know how deep Chen Huanzhang's friendship with Mei Wuniang and Pei Jie was, but she could probably judge from his description of the Whirlpool Undercity that he probably didn't know that Pei Jie escaped from the Whirlpool Undercity. , Dang even shook his head and said: "It's not a life-saving grace. Shanmen's rescue is really his duty. They are too polite."

As Mi Yuyan spoke, she told him what she was looking for: "I have a recipe that can be used to make a balm that nourishes and whitens the skin after sun exposure without hurting the skin. Is Mr. Chen interested in making it?" Do you want to do this business?"

Chen Huanzhang came to Mi's house pretending to be casual after hearing Mei Wu Niang mention this matter. Unexpectedly, Mi Yuyan mentioned it first and said with a smile: "If there really is such a balm, I, Chen, can only ask for it." That’s right, whether you sell it to Nanou or the southeastern seaside, you can get a lot of money. How can I not be interested in a business that can make money?"

Mi Yuyan nodded: "But our Mi family can't do this balm, so for this business, we need you, Chen Sanye, to come forward and ask my aunt to help build a bridge, and ask the Meng family to ship the goods."

Chen Huanzhang immediately heard the implication of Mi Yuyan's words, and immediately asked: "Hua Niang wants to give me this recipe directly and let me run it?"

Mi Yuyan nodded: "That's right."

Chen Huanzhang pondered for a moment before asking: "Although mentioning money will inevitably offend Hua Niang, we businessmen always have to speak clearly first so that the business can continue for a long time. I don't know how much Hua Niang accounts for in this business." profit?"

Mi Yuyan looked at Chen Huanzhang with some humor: "It is inevitably too early to talk about dividing the accounts at this time. Mr. Chen might as well see if the Meng family can reach an agreement before getting down to business."

Chen Huanzhang hesitated for a moment before asking: "There is something I have wanted to ask for a long time. Since Hua Niang is not seeking profit, and she directly returns the incense she made to the clan, she doesn't think about her own future?"

"Who says I'm not interested in profit? It's just that it's not time to divide the accounts. If no one buys by then, it's you, Mr. Chen, who will lose. How can I talk about dividing the accounts now?" Mi Yu still had a look on his face. Said with a slight smile.

Chen Huanzhang was really unsure about Mi Yuyan, and he immediately said bluntly: "Although I absolutely believe in the girl's recipe, the most important thing here is that if the Meng family can like this recipe, I will Being able to establish a connection with the Meng family, Hua Niang probably also knows that Wu Niang’s business in Nan Ou is not easy to do. If she can get some high-end goods from the Meng family and add this balm, she should be able to revitalize the business in Nan Ou. chess."

"I heard about it, so Mr. Chen spent so much money to buy my Purple Cherry Breeze just to pave the way in Nanou. I'm really afraid that you will lose all your money, because after all, there are not many people who know the goods, and With such a high price, it is extremely difficult to sell it." Mi Yuyan nodded and smiled.

Chen Huanzhang raised his eyebrows. Mi Hua Niang obviously already knew that the purple cherry blossoms she made last time were transported to Nanou and were used to open the joints. Whether Mei Wu Niang told her or she guessed it herself Yes, it's all normal.

　Please give me votes, why are you not even giving recommendation votes after it’s been put on the shelves?It's time to roll around!
