Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 82 Healing
  Jia Qiang was able to successfully block General Zheng's arrows at a distance of thirty meters, and when running, General Zheng only had the power of one arrow, and was not even prepared to escape, all because of her huge advantage in speed. .

And among all the techniques he has practiced so far, none of them can improve agility.

Even the 'Taixu Meridian' has the effect of improving his physique, which means that his physique is too strong and the performance is not so obvious.

Jia Qiang also saw that among the skills on the game's character status panel, 'Healing' had been upgraded to a high level.

Level 16 corresponds to the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]'. He secretly cast a 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' on himself, feeling the difference of the advanced healing technique.

After casting the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]', he learned some information about this skill from the skill feedback.

He suddenly discovered that the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' has the effect of treating poisoning, but this treatment of poisoning requires that the blood bar be completely filled, and then continue to use the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' to remove the poisoning state.

This allows Jia Min to suffer less. This time he can solve Jia Min's poisoning problem once he goes back.

In addition, the healing effect of 'Healing [Advanced]' has been increased to 200 blood points each time it is cast. This effect is doubled compared to the intermediate level.

Looking at my health bar, I saw that there were 351 points. Even though it was a 'healing spell [advanced]', it still couldn't be fully filled up with just one cast.

When he returned to the Lin Mansion, he was not in a hurry to tell Lin Ruhai and Jia Min about the incident. They had to have dinner together anyway.

After dinner, Jia Qiang stopped Jia Min and asked for another treatment.

Jia Min didn't care, and let Jia Qiang treat her. Jia Qiang used the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]', which immediately filled up the blood bar that Jia Min had lost due to poisoning. He then used the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' again. ]'.

The higher the skill level was, the more information feedback he could get from using the skills. He detected that the poison in Jia Min's body had completely disappeared.

"Master's wife, my medical skills have improved somewhat. I just checked and found that your poisoning has been cured and you don't need any more treatment in the future!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

"Brother Qiang, are you telling the truth?" Lin Ruhai was even more excited than Jia Min, and he confirmed anxiously.

Although he already knew the poison Jia Min had been poisoned, was looking for an antidote, and had Jia Qiang's support, the more poison he had on his body, the more danger he would face.

Who knows how many things will happen in three months. Just like today, Jia Qiang almost encountered danger. Whether it was death or injury, Jia Min might not be able to be treated for many days.

"Brother Qiang said it, so it must be true!" Jia Min patted Lin Ruhai and said with a smile.

Lin Ruhai's face was filled with joy. He knew that his disciples would not lie about this kind of thing.

"You still have to be careful in the future. Whether you are a teacher or a mistress, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell me!" Jia Qiang warned.

This Lin Mansion is like a dragon's den and a tiger's den. Even Jia Min's personal maid can be bribed. What else can't be bribed?
  "I am the salt patrol censor, which has made Min'er and Daiyu suffer. If it weren't for Brother Qiang, I don't know what would have happened!" Lin Ruhai also felt his own situation, he looked at Jia Qiang and sighed.

"I'm your disciple. I'll do my best if you have any problems!" Jia Qiang comforted her with a smile.

"Yes, yes, hahaha!" Lin Ruhai burst out laughing when she heard what he said.

Lin Daiyu looked at her father, mother, and brother Qiang, with a smile in her eyes. Although she did not fully understand what they said, she knew that her mother's illness was completely cured.

She threw herself into Jia Min's arms, feeling her mother's warmth. Her little heart could not imagine the feeling of losing these, it must be extremely cold.

Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Lin Daiyu didn't know that what Jia Qiang did was not only cure Jia Min, but for this reason Jia Qiang also made a big enmity with an immortal, and even more than one immortal.

The reason why Jia Qiang is still free at present is that the lame Taoist is still in seclusion to heal his injuries.

"Teacher, are there any declining general families in Yangzhou?" Jia Qiang thought of one thing at this time. Since there are people like General Zheng, there must be other retired generals.

He still lacks a big gun. The big gun he got from the Langhou family was just an ordinary big gun. There is no way he can get the big gun passed down by the Langhou family.

Today, when he met General Zheng, he realized that there were still people who had retired from the army to practice the body-refining skills of generals. The descendants of these people might not be able to inherit the body-refining skills of generals, so their handed down guns could be purchased with money.

"Why do you ask this? There are not many in Yangzhou, but there are still some from the families of fallen generals in Jinling!" Lin Ruhai thought for a while and replied.

"Teacher, I lack a big gun. It's not an ordinary big gun, it's a big gun that can be called a treasured gun!" Jia Qiang didn't know if Lin Ruhai knew the details of the big gun. He tried his best to make it clear.

"Teacher Qin, my family is a noble family. How come I don't know what a treasured gun is? It's just that even if the family is in decline, no one will sell it unless it is a last resort. But I will help you find out. Yes!" Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile.

Only then did Jia Qiang think that the ancestors of the Lin family were also princes. They had inherited the title until Lin Ruhai's father's generation. However, Lin Ruhai's generation no longer had the honor of their ancestors, so she came from the imperial examination and passed the exam with a criminal record. Exploring flowers.

The next day, a guest came to the Lin Mansion. It was Wang Yong, the head of the Wang family.

At first, Jia Qiang thought that this person came here to question him. In the final analysis, Wang Bo's death was due to an accident that ambush him. Although Wang Bo was also one of the participants, he was still dead.

But he didn't expect that the big salt merchant Wang Yong would express his apology to him as soon as they met.

Of course, Jia Qiang was just a foil in this meeting, and it was Lin Ruhai and Wang Yong who really spoke.

Wang Yong's words had the same meaning inside and outside. He didn't want Jia Qiang's incident to affect the relationship between the Wang family and Lin Ruhai.

When Wang Yong left, Lin Ruhai looked at the gift list with a strange look on his face.

"Brother Qiang, it seems that your romantic reputation has spread!" Lin Ruhai said with a smile and handed over the gift list.

Jia Qiang took the gift list, which was divided into two parts. One part was for Lin Ruhai. He didn't look at it more, and the other part was for compensation to Jia Qiang.

Some possessions were not in his eyes, but one of them made him understand why Lin Ruhai laughed.

Because this compensation is for a person, to be precise, the extremely famous prostitute Zhujun in Yangzhou.

"Teacher, how should we deal with this?" Jia Qiang also felt a little dizzy. He could almost imagine the sharp eyes of his master's wife.

"Let your wife arrange it!" Lin Ruhai would never really leave the matter of the famous prostitute Zhu Jun to Jia Qiang, he replied with a smile.

He is very optimistic about Jia Qiang. Although Jia Qiang has practiced martial arts, she is still too young. Once she is injured due to such things, it will be a lifelong matter.

"Teacher, why does Wang Yong have such an attitude?" Jia Qiang had doubts in his heart and asked proactively.

In his opinion, as one of the eight major salt merchants, Wang Yong, whose nephew died tragically, would hold the relevant people responsible no matter what. Even if Lin Ruhai's identity was taken into consideration, he should not give such a heavy gift. Although he didn't see clearly the weight of the gift Wang Yong gave to Lin Ruhai, he only saw that in his own gift, in addition to the famous prostitute Zhu Jun, there were also some very expensive belongings.

"It's not because it's the time of year to allocate salt!" Lin Ruhai replied with a smile.

Yanyin is the distribution batch of salt produced in several major salt farms in the south of the Yangtze River. Only salt with Yanyin is considered official salt. The rest of the salt is all private salt, and it is a serious crime to be discovered.

Lin Ruhai, the salt inspector, was the official responsible for allocating salt.

Perhaps for the sake of profit, the eight major salt merchants more or less hope that Lin Ruhai will die, but as long as Lin Ruhai is in office, the power in Lin Ruhai's hands must be taken into consideration, which is related to the status of each of the eight major salt merchants.

Every year, the eight major salt merchants can eat most of the salt, and the remaining bit will fall into the hands of small and medium-sized salt merchants.

Jia Qiang also understood how wealthy the official position of Xunyan Yushi was. Just looking at the gift Wang Yong gave this time, she knew how much wealth Lin Ruhai would earn in the past few years.

This is because Lin Ruhai is relatively incorruptible. If he were a really corrupt official, he would probably be many times more corrupt.

Jia Qiang also finally knew why the Jia family had been raising Lin Daiyu from now on. It seemed that the wealth left by Lin Ruhai eventually became the economic foundation for the Jia family to continue.

It's a pity that Lin Ruhai trusted such a bad person, so much wealth did not bring Lin Daiyu a peaceful life.

Now that Lin Ruhai is his teacher, he will never let this happen.

Since Jia Min did not die as expected in history, Lin Daiyu would no longer be a child whose father had lost her father.

"Brother Qiang, do you want to make a fortune?" Lin Ruhai suddenly asked.

Jia Qiang was slightly startled. He didn't expect Lin Ruhai to ask such a question.

"Teacher, what kind of wealth are you talking about?" he asked curiously.

He is not short of money. If he really wants money, he will open more Qingfeng Towers.

But if he really had money delivered to his door, he still wanted it.

"A total of 50 salt quotes have been issued this year, and 5 are left for you to dispose of. The benefits are yours!" Lin Ruhai did not hide anything from his disciples, and smiled as he told the origin of his wealth.

Before Jia Qiang came, she learned about the salt affairs.

One salt guide is equivalent to about three hundred catties of salt, and 5 salt guides is equivalent to fifteen million catties of salt. One pound of salt can earn almost one tael of silver from the time it is purchased to the time it is sold, which is fifteen million taels. silver.

Of course, after excluding the transportation and sales costs, and the tax for each salt citation, 5 salt citations can bring at least million to million taels of silver to Jia Qiang. The price difference depends on the market conditions that year.

Even though Jia Qiang thought he had some money, he didn't really understand what it meant to be rich until he came into contact with the huge profits from the Salt Service.

Ten thousand pieces of salt are exchanged for one million taels of silver, which is faster than doing any business.

"Is there any problem?" Jia Qiang asked worriedly.

He knew that Lin Ruhai wouldn't joke, but the teacher suddenly gave him fifty thousand salt quotes, which still made him a little confused.

"You accepted the emperor's order and went to Jiangnan to intervene in the salt affairs. In fact, you just want money. If nothing is achieved, you can take out most of the silver earned from the 50,000 salt certificates!" Lin Ruhai waved his hand and explained. .

Jia Qiang's heart warmed, Lin Ruhai turned out to be thinking about his emperor's life.

If you really have five million taels of silver in hand, you can really deliver three million taels of silver to Emperor Jingwen.

But he knew better that deducting 50,000 pieces of salt from the salt merchants was like pulling a tooth out of the tiger's mouth of the major salt merchants.

Don't underestimate the salt merchants. None of these salt merchants have a big backer. Salt merchants without a big backer have long been eaten up to the bone.

"Teacher, it doesn't have to be like this. I can complete the emperor's order slowly!" Jia Qiang shook her head and refused.

"Don't worry. The salt inspector will have to return to the capital for another two years at most. With you here these two years, I am very reassured in terms of safety. No matter what these salt merchants do, it will not help.

In addition, don’t underestimate yourself. As a first-grade viscount and as an imperial envoy from Jiangnan, it is normal to get a share of the Yanyin pie! Lin Ruhai continued to explain.

Jia Qiang has never paid much attention to her status as an imperial envoy. In fact, this status needs to be taken extremely seriously by any local official.

Locally speaking, even the magistrate Wu of Yangzhou was only in the fourth rank, and could be directly dismissed by the imperial envoy and escorted back to Beijing.

As for the rest of the officials, take Zhizhou as an example, as long as they are guilty, they can be killed directly.

It is this kind of power that makes the status of imperial envoy extremely noble.

"Teacher, I still want to hide my identity, do you think?" Jia Qiang didn't want to reveal her identity so early.

"It's okay, just say it was given to the imperial envoy. As for who the imperial envoy is, just say that the imperial envoy needs to keep his identity secret and let them guess by themselves!" Lin Ruhai, an old fox, replied with a smile.

In fact, he did not tell Jia Qiang that the imperial envoy was not a secret, but no one knew the identity of the imperial envoy.

An imperial edict was issued in the imperial palace in the capital, and the imperial envoy went to Jiangnan to supervise the salt affairs. Although Yangzhou knew about it a little late, not long after Jia Qiang arrived, capable officials and salt merchants knew about it.

But no one suspected that this imperial envoy was Jia Qiang, because Jia Qiang was too young.

How can one become an imperial envoy at the age of fourteen, and be an imperial envoy responsible for a huge amount of money? The most important thing is that the salt affairs in Jiangnan are so complicated that even a veteran minister with long experience in officialdom will not be able to do anything, let alone a young man.

If the Jiangnan salt affairs were really so easy to handle, why would it take so much effort? Lin Ruhai, the salt patrol censor, had been in this position for a relatively long time and was considered a capable minister.

"Listen to the teacher!" Jia Qiang nodded in agreement.

He didn't know much about officialdom, but he knew that the teacher would not trick him.

He knew even more that if he had a way to solve the salt affairs and obtain a large amount of money for Emperor Jingwen, the benefit of the 50,000 salt coins this time would be his own.
