Being able to serve as Shen Qingshan's deputy general already has some control over the overall situation.
Naturally, we also know how important this matter is, and it is no small matter.
As the saying goes, don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.
They are both part of the army of the Wei Dynasty, but other armies enjoy better treatment. What will the soldiers think?
"Let's calm down the remarks in the military first, and then we can talk after I, the general, go to understand the situation."
When the deputy general heard this, he also retreated from the camp.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Qingshan picked up the sound transmission instrument and called Shen Lingsheng to his tent.
About two quarters of an hour.
Shen Lingsheng rode his red electric horse to the camp.
The defensive line of the Wei garrison in the east was very long, and it took some time to get there.
"Father, when you come back, why didn't you tell Ling Sheng in advance? The children didn't even go to greet you."
Shen Qingshan waved his hand: "What are you doing with those false etiquettes? I have called you here in a hurry because I have something important to ask.
You have always been in charge of the elixirs in the army.
Did you find anything wrong? "
Seeing Shen Qingshan's serious look, Shen Lingsheng immediately realized what his father was referring to.
"Father, do you want to say that the Northeastern garrison and the Forbidden Army should take middle-grade elixirs instead?"
Seeing Shen Lingsheng's reply, Shen Qingshan felt a little relieved.
My son still has some abilities, and he has paid attention to these things for a long time.
"Yes, Vice General He mentioned this matter when he was talking to me just now. Is it true?"
Hearing this, Shen Lingsheng's face became more serious.
"Brother Bai Lin discovered this strange thing nine days ago.
After the problem was discovered, two waves of spies were arranged to find out the cause.
The Ministry of Household Affairs has confirmed that there will be no change in the food and grass materials for each military department.
The spy who arranged to go to the Northeast garrison to inquire about the news also returned yesterday, and it is indeed true.
The Northeastern Garrison and Forbidden Army, including new recruits, have now started taking Qi-Yi Dan and Huan-Yuan Dan."
Mentioning these, Shen Lingsheng's face showed a bit of solemnity.
After leading troops for so many years, he naturally understands how serious this matter is.
"Have you ever found out how the Forbidden Army and the others have such sufficient materials to purchase so many middle-grade elixirs?"
Shen Lingsheng shook his head: "We have sent out the best spies, but judging from the information we have received, it is impossible for their two armies to afford so many middle-grade elixirs.
And it’s not just medium-grade elixirs, I heard that among their two armies, the positions of commander and corps commander have even been allocated high-grade elixirs.”
High-grade elixirs are expensive, and the output in the entire Wei Dynasty is low.
Like those warriors and literati, they can't get it.
How can soldiers in the army afford to eat?
The messages are mixed together and it feels very confusing.
But Shen Qingshan gradually figured out a line.
“If there is no change in the supply of food and grass materials among the armies.
Then there is only one reason, a batch of low-priced medium and high-grade elixirs flowed into the Wei Dynasty."
There are cronies of the Shen family in the household department.
Shen Qingshan also didn't believe that the Shen family would be kept in the dark about changes in food and supplies.
“Send out all the spies to find out the reason no matter what.
Focus on collecting information from drug dealers, especially those who have communicated with the Northeast garrison.
I have been in the camp for the past few days. I will come back as soon as there is news. "
Shen Ling saluted, exited the camp with a serious face, and immediately arranged for spies to investigate.
In the tent, Shen Qingshan leaned on the wicker chair and became increasingly worried.
The Forbidden Army and the Eastern Garrison, these two armies are directly controlled by the royal family.
The rest of the army does not have this special treatment, but the army directly controlled by the royal family has been promoted.
It is very likely that the medicine refining power under the royal family has received a great improvement!
Thinking of this, Shen Qingshan's brows kept furrowing.
If this is the case, the royal family's control over the court will be another huge improvement.
Outside the camp, the snow has begun to melt.
At the end of the first month, there is already some spring, and many dead branches in the mountains and forests have begun to sprout new shoots.
In the past two days, Shen Qingshan occasionally walked out of the camp and looked at the new shoots growing from the dead branches around him.
But instead of feeling alive, he felt a sense of deathly silence in his heart.
I'm in a bad mood, and everything I look at makes me feel upset.
At Shenshi, Shen Lingsheng came riding a red electric horse.
Shen Qingshan was a little anxious when he saw his third son arriving.
"But there's news from the spy?"
"As my father said, a batch of elixirs spread out from nowhere in the Wei Dynasty.
Those Qi-Replenishing Pills and Yuan-Returning Pills can be purchased for less than 60% of the previous price.
The price of high-grade elixirs is also 10% less than before! "
As he spoke, Shen Lingsheng took out a small bag of pills.
What was contained in it was the Qi-enhancing Pill and Yuan-Returning Pill taken by the Forbidden Army and the Northeastern Garrison.
Twisting one, Shen Qingshan took a sniff between his noses. The scent of the medicine was relatively light, lighter than the smell of the pills he had gotten before.
Gently open the medicinal skin with your hands, and the aroma of the medicine pours out in an instant.
"Sure enough, I guessed right.
These elixirs use the unique secret techniques of the Xue family of Yan State.
The refined elixir has at least 20 to 30% more medicinal properties. "
Shen Qingshan had a look of surprise on his face.
After saying this, he looked at Shen Lingsheng again.
"You said the price of these elixirs is much lower than those sold by other families?"
Hearing Shen Qingshan's question, Shen Lingsheng nodded. He also realized that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that the quality of these elixirs far exceeds the middle-grade elixirs refined by other families in the Wei Dynasty.
Not to mention lowering the price, it’s still good without raising the price.
But the fact is that not only the price has been reduced, but it has also been reduced by 40%.
"Father, Ling Sheng doesn't understand, what kind of plan is this?"
Shen Qingshan's brows were still furrowed. He had led the army for many years, and his experience far exceeded that of Shen Lingsheng.
Shen Lingsheng didn't understand, but he somewhat figured it out.
"Actually, the reason is very simple. If the price of middle-grade elixirs is not lowered, even if the quality is improved, the military will not be able to purchase them.
Food and grass materials cannot afford this huge expense.
But once the price dropped by 40%, the military was willing to replace it with low-grade elixirs.
The forces that refine elixirs should be confident in their refining skills and believe that the quantity of elixirs they refine is enough to support the military's expenses."
After thinking about this, Shen Qingshan realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Go immediately and arrest the two medicine dealers. They will torture them severely and ask them where these pills come from."
These are related to the foundation of the Shen family's army, and Shen Qingshan no longer talks about morality.
It gets darker.
Shen Qingshan couldn't sleep at night.
At nine o'clock, it was still dark outside the camp.
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and Shen Qingshan stood up immediately.
The person who came was none other than Shen Lingsheng.
Along with Shen Lingsheng, there was another extremely shocking news.
Those elixirs
It was passed down from the Yun family.
