"silver?"
The county magistrate was a little confused.
Chen Yun nodded: "Yes, if the county magistrate can provide a hundred taels of silver for your friend, then I can roast the two kilograms of tiger meat left at home for him to remove the demonic nature.
In fact, if it weren't for the bad weather today, I wouldn't be able to keep the tiger meat for fear of spoiling it!
I can't sell it at this low price either!
You know, the tiger monster meat prepared with my special technique has the effect of reshaping a mortal and removing the hidden wounds of diseases.
There are only two kilograms of tiger meat left. Although it is a free price, there will still be some crafting fees after all. County Lord, what do you think? "
One hundred taels of silver is indeed not much for the county magistrate!
Although as a county magistrate, his annual salary is only fifty or sixty taels of silver, plus forty or fifty stone rice.
But the court provides subsidies, and this subsidy depends on the location.
Generally speaking, a seventh-grade county magistrate will receive a subsidy ranging from 500 taels to 2,000 taels of silver a year. The specific amount depends on the local wealth and poverty!
Therefore, after being a county magistrate for several years, it is still easy to pay a hundred taels of silver now!
"Okay, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver!"
The county magistrate did not think that Chen Yun only had two kilograms of tiger meat left at home. After all, the government servant came back that day to report that the left deputy had his head wrapped in tiger skin and the tiger meat he carried back was at least three to four hundred kilograms. The deputy was amazed at how strong the left deputy was.
Even if everyone in the yamen had eaten one pound, there would still be hundreds of pounds left!
But since Chen Yun said that there are only two catties left, then there are only two catties left!
After all, apart from Taoists who use it to make elixirs, I haven't heard of anyone who can cook this thing and eat it.
At that time, the county magistrate also doubted whether Deputy Zuo Dutou's ability was inherited from the Taoist alchemy sect.
Just now, the Vice-President Zuo admitted the existence of an old Taoist priest and told him many stories.
It doesn't matter whether the story is a story or not. What is important is that the stories told by the old Taoist priest to Deputy Dutou Zuo are useful. In the eyes of the county magistrate, they are inheritance.
So he is now very sure that the left deputy chief is a disciple of the Taoist sect, and should be of the alchemy school. This method of stewing demon meat instead of refining alchemy is actually a different approach.
After all, refining elixirs costs money! Everyone knows it.
At this time, the left deputy was trying to simplify the complexity. It does not require much money to make, but ordinary people can eat the monster meat.
Although eating meat that has only removed the demonic nature, for mortals, it is just a rebirth, eliminating diseases and strengthening the body.
But for mortals, this is enough.
Of course, for cultivators, this approach is not very useful for cultivation, and is even a bit wasteful!
Since it is the inheritance of the monastic alchemy sect, there should be no problem in preserving several hundred kilograms of demon meat so that it does not deteriorate so that it can still be eaten over time.
At this time, he gave himself two kilograms of tiger monster meat in exchange for a hundred taels of silver. I am afraid that the left deputy wanted to use it as an industry.
To put it simply, I just want to make money!
It’s good to make money!
Taoists often say that wealth couples with law, and cultivation also costs money.
This may be the reason why the Zuo Fu Dutou turned the Taoist method of alchemy into a common practice of stewing demon meat!
just!
This kind of thing may not be very effective for monks, but for ordinary people, the benefits to the body are quite good.
This is even more good news for the county magistrate.
Because he may be able to use this opportunity to manage his personal connections, or to consolidate and expand them, because he already has personal connections.
To become a seventh-grade county magistrate, it is not enough to just take the Jinshi exam. You also need to have connections.
To get a Jinshi exam, you may have to wait for a long time. After waiting for several years, or even more than ten years, there is still no actual shortage.
In the end, I can only be an editor of the Hanlin Academy for decades, and that's why it doesn't matter.
A county magistrate who can be distributed to the actual vacancies and can take charge of a county is only a seventh-grade official, but it is already an official position of some importance in the imperial court.
After all, although the Daliang Kingdom has a vast territory and abundant resources, with more than 50 million people, the number of places that can be called counties in this vast land is only a little over a thousand.
That is to say, there are only a little more than a thousand county magistrates in the whole country. Those who are capable enough to reach the seventh grade of county magistrates are already more than one thousandth of the actual civil servants in the county-level local system in the country.
Therefore, the county magistrate believes that he must support the transaction that the left deputy chief wants to make.
Even if this thing changes hands once, its value is more than a hundred taels!
The county magistrate remembered that after eating the tiger monster meat, he felt even more passionate in bed at night than after eating the flesh and blood elixir last time.
The madam couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy several times. She sent all the girls in her two rooms to her bed, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the pursuit of a scholar, to be promoted and make a fortune, and to be in good health.
The most important thing is that food, sex, and making a woman beg for mercy between the beds greatly arouse a man's pride.
Even the emperor, doesn’t he have a special physician who prepares this kind of tiger and wolf medicine? Even the emperor is not exempt from vulgarity, let alone other people?
Not to mention, how can this thing be comparable to the medicine of tiger and wolf?
The doctor said that the medicine of tiger and wolf squeezes the Yang Qi of the human body for a moment, and it does hundreds of harms to the body but only one benefit.
But the tiger monster meat stewed by Zuo Fudutou can transform a mortal, restoring the body injured by old age to that of youth, or even stronger.
Is this a benefit that can be exchanged for just a hundred taels of silver?
"Okay! Then the left deputy should first think about how to deal with these bat demons, and I will prepare the money now!"
The county magistrate entered the inner hall.
One hundred taels of silver is actually not much, just a little over six kilograms!
Chen Yun held it in his arms and saluted the county magistrate with a cupped fist: "Your Majesty, now I will move the corpses of these monsters home, including this living one.
In the afternoon, I woke up and started making specimens!
The main thing is that I'm sleepy now and can't cheer up. "
The county magistrate nodded with a smile: "You have stayed up all night, so go back and rest soon!
You have to be careful with the living one, don't accidentally let it go. It would be bad if it hurts people's lives in this city! "
Li Captou and Luo Dutou volunteered to help Chen Yun drive the ox cart. Chen Yun smiled and refused, saying that they had also stayed up all night, and driving the ox cart was not a difficult task as there were not so many people.
Since he was rejected, Luo Dutou did not insist anymore.
But Capt. Li insisted on delivering it. After all, there were two ox carts, and it was impossible for the old lady to drive one cart.
At such an old age, you have to be considerate of the elderly, and he is an old man who stayed up all night!
Since he insisted, Chen Yun had no choice but to let him.
Not far from the county government office, Chen Yun handed the hundred taels of silver in his hand to the old man Zuo: "Grandpa, use this hundred taels of silver to go to the blacksmith shop to cast a silver pot. Hurry!
It needs to be used before the sun reaches the zenith, but it is useless after that!
The style doesn’t need to look good, it just needs to be usable! "
Old Man Zuo knew that Chen Yun was targeting these bat monsters again. He had strange methods and tools for eating these monsters.
There are even time constraints, such as this time!
So he took the silver and left quickly, heading towards the blacksmith shop in the city.
On the bullock cart, in a cage that was blocked from the sun, the vampire Baron Luke, who had turned into a big bat, struggled to say a rather awkward mandarin to Mr. Li who was driving the cart: "Do you want... to live forever?" ?
I can...make you live forever and never die...nor grow old! "
Although these words were difficult to say and difficult to understand, Capt. Li understood them.
