Li Changkong noticed Zhen Jian's expression, smiled, and explained: "This is not an ordinary weed, but a weed."
"The rhizome can be used as medicine, and has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and removing rheumatism."
"And it has extremely strong vitality. It can grow in large numbers even in barren places, like Xishan!"
"I have observed along the way just now that there are quite a few wormwoods."
"Is this... possible?" Zhen Jian is still a little doubtful. When did the young master understand medicine? Moreover, he has never heard of such a medicine in traditional Chinese medicine in his long life.
How about waiting for the master to coerce Uncle Ducheng into submission.
"Of course it's not enough to just rely on herbs, we have to make a medicine!"
"Patent medicine? Master, do you know how to make medicine?"
"I know a little bit about it." In fact, I just happen to know how to make medicine by using water wormwood.
Before Li Changkong traveled through time, he happened to read "Zhang's Medical Tong", which was written by Zhang Lu in the Qing Dynasty in the 34th year of Kangxi's reign. It was a comprehensive medical book focusing on miscellaneous diseases.
Among them, there is a clear prescription for a medicine named Xihu ointment.
The main medicinal materials are wormwood, angelica root, peony root, Aconite root, Qiang Huo, Fangfeng, etc.
If Li Changkong remembers correctly, except for wormwood, other medicinal materials are common in Daqian and are not difficult to find.
So it shouldn’t be difficult to make the custard paste.
According to the records in "Zhang's Medical Tong", Hibiscus ointment has miraculous effects on treating rheumatic paralysis, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
It was widely used at that time.
Therefore, if this medicine can be made, as long as the medical clinic in Qiandu knows the goods, Li Changkong thinks it should not be difficult to sell it for money. The difficulty is how to sell it for big money.
This requires careful planning.
"Master, even if this herb is really so useful, what if it also grows in other places?"
"People may not buy it from us, they may dig it in the mountains." Zhen Jian said, he still felt that this idea was not very reliable.
When Li Changkong heard this, he immediately smiled brightly, put his hand on Zhen Jian's shoulder and said, "I need your help here."
Zhen Jian was a little afraid of such a young master, and quickly expressed his position: "As long as you speak, young master, whether it is on the mountain of swords or in the frying pan, I will never frown. But can you please stop smiling like this, I am afraid."
When Li Changkong heard this, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened, and he thought to himself, could he be smiling so hypocritically?
"There's no need to go up the mountain of swords or go into the frying pan. I just want you to find someone to walk around the capital city and see where this herb still grows. If so, I'll root them all out. .”
"Do you understand?"
When Zhen Jian heard this, he nodded immediately.
What did you think it was? That's it. There is no ambiguity in doing it yourself!
"Very good, remember to pull out the roots. This herb is very tenacious. If you leave a root, it might grow back next year."
"Okay, I'll take care of things, don't worry, young master."
"One more thing, go back to Xishan to collect more herbs like this, and then buy angelica, peony, Aconite, Qianghuo, and Fangfeng. Master, I want to make some medicine!"
"Obviously... I understand." Although Zhen Jian still felt that this matter was unreliable, he still agreed. At most, he would report it to the master when he returned home.
"Okay, let's go home!"
By the time the two returned to Wulinghou Mansion, it was already evening.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Zhufeng sitting on the bench in the main hall, his back bleak.
"Dad, I'm back."
When Li Zhufeng heard the voice, he immediately turned his head, hiding the loneliness on his face, and said with a smile: "My son is back, wait a while, the food will be ready soon."
"Dad, I have found a way to make money. There are large tracts of medicinal herbs growing on the Western Mountain. Our foreign debt has been settled. You don't have to worry about it anymore." Li Changkong didn't care about eating and directly told what he discovered in the Western Mountain. Speak up.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhufeng didn't take it seriously at all. He nodded with a smile and said perfunctorily: "It's easy to talk, let's eat first."
Li Changkong sighed helplessly when he saw this.
Three feet of ice does not last in a day. Li Zhufeng may have already determined in his heart that his son is an ignorant and ignorant playboy. If he does not get into trouble, it is already a great blessing. How can he earn fifty thousand taels of silver? ability.
In fact, Li Zhufeng did think so.
Can wild herbs like those in the Western Mountains grow all over the mountains and plains? This is not nonsense.
It's probably because this stupid kid didn't understand what herbs are and what weeds are.
But it’s great to have this kind of heart.
Although Changfeng is a bit silly to say he is stupid, he is actually very filial.
"Okay, let's eat and eat." Li Changkong didn't explain much. When he really made money, his father would naturally believe in his ability.
After finishing the meal, Li Changkong called Butler Yang into the room alone and asked, "Is it not ideal when I went to the Duke's Mansion in the capital today? Why did my father feel bad after he came back?"
When Butler Yang heard this, he immediately sighed and told the truth.
"Young master, you don't know that Uncle Ducheng is extremely arrogant and keeps claiming that he has no right to pay back the money he earned based on his own skills."
"No matter what I say, even if I bring trouble to the Holy Emperor, he may not be wrong in the slightest."
"He even washed his neck with clean water in front of the master and said he was waiting for the master's knife to kill him."
"As nobles as we are, I can't really kill the uncle from Ducheng, so naturally I am very angry."
When Li Changkong heard this, he suddenly understood.
Uncle Ducheng doesn’t know much about it, but he also knows that money is as important as life!
He is known for being stingy on weekdays, and is even known as the Big Iron Rooster.
If you want to get money from him, it will be even harder than going to heaven.
The original person also had a brain problem, but he hung out with this kind of people and caused such a huge disaster.
But one thing they said was right. The purchase of land for fifty thousand taels was a deed signed in black and white by the original owner. Even if Datian really wanted to hear it, it would still be justified if it was brought before the Holy One.
Your son gave me the money, and I also sold the land. It was a black and white transaction, what does it mean when you come to the door with a knife?
Maybe someone could backtrack and accuse Li Zhufeng of breaking into the uncle's palace in the capital.
Most of the time, this loss can only be tolerated for the time being, and then we can find opportunities to regain all our dignity.
At least the relationship between the Wuling Marquis Mansion and the Capital Bo Mansion was forged.
"Okay, I understand. Let's go see if Zhen Jian is back. When he is back, ask him to deliver the medicinal materials to my room as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Butler Yang agreed, but his heart was pounding. Could it be that the young master really wanted to make medicine?
This... is not an easy job.
Don't you see, those old doctors with white heads and white heads, who have been practicing medicine and medicine for most of their lives, may not be able to create a new medicine.
The young master is so young and has never been exposed to medicine. Wanting to make medicine is really... a bit whimsical.
But...well, forget it, as long as the young master stays quietly in the house and doesn't go out to harm others, it will be a blessing.
Butler Yang immediately retreated and went to find Zhen Jian.
