Young Master Qingyu's words made Wu Sheng fall into thinking. Wu Sheng's concept is not divided into so many classes. He was an assassin first and a thief later. He was used to running away and wandering. It was not until he settled in Shangyong and became a citizen of Yongguo through buying property that he finally settled down.
Of course he knew that scholars had a higher status than fellow citizens, had certain privileges in all aspects, and could sometimes receive rewards from their lord. Even if you don't get a reward, you can still go to the lord's house and eat three generous meals for free every day - this is the obligation of raising a scholar.
Correspondingly, as a corporal, you should also share the worries of your lord, and sometimes even die. This is also a scholar's responsibility.
It’s just that after experiencing the master of Shenyin Peak, Wu Sheng was already wary of living under other people’s disciples, so he was a little hesitant. Being a scholar was not that easy. He didn’t lack food or clothing, nor did he insist on climbing up. Desire to change his identity, all he wants is more love gold, more magic weapons and spiritual materials and elixirs.
But becoming a corporal of Young Master Qingyu can indeed move around Shangyong City, and his survival is greatly guaranteed. In the future, Young Master Qingyu will inherit the position of Yonghou, and he may even become a high-ranking official. He suddenly remembered that when he was in Leigong Mountain, he was striving to become a doctor.
Um, I thought too far...
Seeing that he was hesitant and did not answer, Prince Qingyu sighed: "The situation in the country is beyond my control. Your Majesty still has concerns about the policy of super promotion. It is a shame for our mediocre country to not be able to worship you as a doctor. However, Please rest assured, sir, if there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely be your Lord Dayong, and I will do what I say!"
After talking about this, Wu Sheng thought about it, as an alchemist, the other party would always be reluctant to let him do things that cost his life, right? As for the next alliance, that will be three years later. Besides, Yun Ji is dead. Looking at the four countries, there is no one who can resist the alchemy masters. Who will he be afraid of?
Worst of all, before I really encountered the danger of losing my life, I would never be so stupid as to "obey my duty". I would still be able to resign when I should.
After thinking about it, Wu Sheng decided to take over Shangyong's alchemy business and bowed down on the spot: "Shen Wu, meet the young master!"
Prince Qingyu was overjoyed and returned the favor with the courtesy of seeing a high official: "Now that I have you, sir, it will be like having wings on my back. I can look forward to the great power of our country!"
Wu Sheng didn't know how many corporals this young master had, but on the way back in the past few days, Wu Sheng was always invited to get in his car and talk.
Once, Prince Qingyu even complained to Wu Sheng, saying that when the alliance was over and the princes parted ways, Mr. Yu took off his fragrant scarf and gave it to him, which was really worrying. Mr. Yu also said that he would meet him on the bank of Lingshui River at the border of the two countries in winter to fish for Lingyu. So I asked Wu Sheng if he should go.
Wu Sheng thought for a moment before he understood the meaning. Thinking of the wrinkled old man on the alliance platform, he couldn't help but get goosebumps. He joked: "I heard that when Qi Jun returned from the Northern Expedition to Shanrong and returned victorious, Yan Jun Reluctant to leave, we sent him all the way, and he actually sent us fifty miles into the territory of Qi. The prince also knew that the princes sent each other off without leaving the country, so the Lord of Qi gave the fifty miles to Yan with a wave of his hand."
Young Master Qingyu was thoughtful: "Sir, do you want me to go to the appointment?"
Wu Sheng said with a smile: "That's right, you should be conceited first, and then send the gifts out of the country. Don't send them too far. If they are too far, he will get angry from shame and refuse to give the land, and the gain will outweigh the loss."
From then on, the young master Qingyu valued Wu Sheng more and more. No matter what happened, he would call Wu Sheng to the carriage to talk. There was really nothing to talk about. He would have to talk about the weather even if he found an excuse. If he wasn't in the car, It is very likely that Wu Sheng will be invited to stay at home and sleep at night.
Wu Sheng lost his temper and had to excuse himself that he had to prepare for the next alchemy and could no longer waste time.
Young Master Qingyu quickly expressed his position, saying that Sir, just go and prepare, and I dare not disturb Sir anymore. The gold for purchasing the elixir will be sent to Yongrentang immediately after returning. If you still need it, feel free to come to your door.
The young master's side became quiet, but Yuan Sima's side became lively again: "Congratulations to Mr. Shen for joining the young master. As far as I know, the young master will not treat you like a corporal, but treat him like a doctor..." said Then he handed a bag to Wu Sheng, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is the gold from the bet between Mr. and your junior brother, a total of thirty yi. Bo Hui also wanted to get away with it, but I caught him, haha..."
Wu Sheng came to his senses, took it over and said, "If it weren't for Sima, I would have almost been defaulted by the fish-men!" He reached in and took out five pieces of gold and stuffed them into Yuan Sima's hand.
Yuan Sima left with a smile, and Wu Sheng was now at peace, thinking about the refining of two thousand elixirs.
According to the requirements of the Chu State, two thousand elixirs must be handed over this year, including one thousand Wushen Pills, five hundred Jingning Pills and five hundred Rhubarb Pills.
Using Wu Sheng's substitution method to make elixirs, the cost of each black ginseng pill can be controlled within 30 yuan. However, if the spiritual materials are purchased in large quantities, the spiritual materials may increase to a certain extent, so the cost is expected to be 40 yuan. The cost of Jingning Pill and Dahuang Pill can be reduced to thirty gold and fifty gold. Calculated in this way, the total cost will be eighty gold. The total purchase price agreed by Gongzi Qingyu is two hundred and thirty gold. Under ideal conditions You can earn one hundred and fifty gold.
Really big profits!
The only thing I worried about was time. It was already late autumn, and it would be less than three months before the end of the year. The two thousand elixirs from the first year would be delivered immediately. Even if Wu Sheng made twelve pills every day, he would never be able to keep up with the progress, so he had to mobilize the best alchemists to make pills together. According to Young Master Qingyu, Yunji actually did not practice alone at that time, but also completed the task together with several alchemists from the Fish Kingdom.
Of course, there will be plenty of time next year, and I can refine alchemy for a whole year, but as an alchemist, I will not be stupid enough to do it on my own, otherwise most of the year will be handed over to tributes, which is what a top-grade alchemist would not do. .
After returning to Shangyong, Master Dongsun greeted Wu Sheng at the gate of Yongren Hall eagerly: "The layman is back. I heard that the layman won a great victory in the competition in Putai. He also said that the layman became the disciple of Prince Qingyu. ?”
Wu Sheng asked curiously: "The team came back together neatly. How did you know about it in advance? Who tipped off the news?"
Master Dongsun smiled and said: "That's good, that's good! This news is that it has legs and can fly back by itself!"
Wu Sheng said: "That's spreading like wildfire... How is the master's practice? Has he made any progress?"
Master Dongsun said with emotion: "The Soul-Yangling Valley is really wonderful. I have been unable to cultivate for many years. I thought I was going to die in this life. What did the layman guess? In just over three months, I was about to touch the true essence condensation. Got it!"
Wu Sheng encouraged him: "Then practice diligently and make up for all the previous lessons. How much money is missing? Just say a word...here, is it enough?"
Master Dongsun was suddenly struck with three pieces of gold in his hand, and he couldn't close his mouth immediately: "Okay, okay, okay..."
Wu Sheng stepped into the house, but was held back by Master Dongsun: "Bulk, several alchemists from Shangyong are here. They said they wanted to celebrate the monk, and everyone is waiting inside."
Wu Sheng nodded: "Sure enough, I am well-informed. I am just going to find them."
