The Mao Gong requested by Yangzhou is still a thousand gold, but unlike before, only two wartime supplies, elixirs and magical weapons, totaling three thousand elixirs and one thousand magical weapons according to Yangzhou's market price.
Among them, the value of the spiritual elixir was increased to 600 gold, the value of 1,500 black ginseng pills, and 1,500 bone bone pills. All the goods originally from Maogong from Kui and Qu were sent to Yong and Yu, which were discounted to the price of Maogong.
Qingyu offered Wu Sheng 450 gold, but he couldn't give that much love gold, so he could only offer 200 yi. The remaining 250 gold was spent on a large amount of spiritual materials, rice, animal skins, and spiritual wine. offset by other items.
Wu Sheng didn't care, he had already earned two hundred gold, and the large amount of other materials were just for supplements, especially the allocated spiritual materials, which directly saved Wu Sheng a lot of money on the price increase of materials.
Qingyu was also very happy, which was equivalent to saving one hundred and fifty gold. Of course, he was only relatively happy. After all, it was definitely a big loss to be added Mao Gong by the Chu State. If it were done next year, he would be really happy. Okay It would be a little comfort to be able to do something about the price difference between the tributes from Kui and Lu and pass on some of the burden.
Three thousand elixirs are quite a lot, so they still have to be contracted out. He has passed on the recipe for the Bone-Bone Pill to his two disciples, Mo You and Yue Zhong, and plans to purchase it at the price of twenty-eight ant nose coins each. He will not charge a licensing fee of two cents for this batch. It is equivalent to ten yuan of retained profits.
As for the Wushen Pills, he plans to make a batch of them himself and outsource a batch. Currently, only Baiyue Danshi Zhufeng has the ability to contract. After going south this time, Wu Sheng was not far from Zhufeng. One hundred and eighty miles southeast from Mangdang Mountain was the Ascetic Mountain of Zhufeng. Therefore, he asked Dong Da to make a trip and invited him to Mangdang Mountain. To support the grand event together," unfortunately Zhufeng had no intention of "to support the grand event together," and he only agreed to sell it to Wu Sheng at the current going price of Shikoku Wu Shen Pills, which was one hundred and sixty yuan per pill.
At this price, Wu Sheng basically had nothing to earn. The gap between the two parties was too big and they couldn't reach an agreement, so Wu Sheng had to refine it himself.
One thousand five hundred attenuated black ginseng pills, based on the current price of spiritual materials, cost about seventy gold. One thousand five hundred bone-growing pills only cost forty-two gold, totaling more than one hundred and ten gold.
Looking at the net profit of nearly ninety yi gold and materials worth two hundred and fifty gold, Wu Sheng was ready to start work, but before starting work, he asked Dong Da to make a trip to Yangzhou.
"Shopkeeper Dong is not interested in mediocrity. I can't count on you for the time being. I can only let you go to Yangzhou. Anyway, you are Ningxiang's seventh uncle and grandpa. You are also related to Cui Ming, so you can speak well in front of him."
"I..." Dong Da originally wanted to argue a few words, but then he thought that there was really nothing to argue about, so he agreed: "Doctor, what are your orders?"
Wu Sheng said: "Tell Cui Ming, I know it's not easy for him, but if the wool keeps growing like this, it will become bald sooner or later. So Yongguo needs compensation, and let him decide what he can do, whether it's food or money. Well, chariots - you can talk about chariots, anyway, it counts as much as you have, otherwise I can't guarantee the next Mao Gong."
Dong Da frowned, this was not easy to handle, so he asked: "What if he doesn't give it?"
Wu Sheng said: "If he doesn't give it, you should find a way to let Ningxiang return to her parents' home!"
After Dong Da left, Wu Sheng entered seclusion again. As for the affairs of Mangdang Mountain, he was really too lazy to take care of it. In this era, the loyalty of the Chinese people was very high, and the savages had a strong sense of resignation, and there was almost no trouble. So Acting as a hands-off shopkeeper is the basic operation of Qing officials, and Wu Sheng must of course learn this fine tradition.
Wu Sheng first found more than half of the things that could be used in the several trucks of materials escorted by Shangyong, and then found some from his own reserves. For those that were not enough, he asked Ding Ran to go to Shangyongfang City, but it was still a little short. , I can only send a message to Daonan Snake, Huang Feilong and A Nuo, and ask them to help find it.
In fact, the materials are not complicated or rare. The only problem is that the quantity is not enough. While waiting, he started refining the materials on hand.
At the rate of thirty pills per day, Wu Sheng refined it for a month, and the subsequent materials were delivered one after another. So Wu Sheng continued to work hard, and finally completed the refining of the elixir in mid-April.
Wu Sheng completed the Mao Gong mission by sending the Wu Shen Pills and the 1,500 Bone Bone Pills delivered by Mo You and Yue Zhong to Sikong Mansion.
When he regained his breath, Dong Da, who had returned a long time ago, quickly reported back to him: "I don't know whether the matter explained by the doctor has been completed or not."
Wu Sheng said: "Dong Dalang, when did you start to learn to tell the truth? If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
Dong Da Dao: "The doctor asked me to ask Cui Ming for compensation, and Cui Ming gave it to me. But it's not rice, animal skins, let alone gold, it's people."
Wu Sheng was startled, and then he said happily: "This is a good thing. People are good, and people are better than Yuanjin. I am worried about how the people of the Dushan tribe will integrate. Wouldn't it be nice to have more people from the Central Plains? How much did he give ?”
Dong Da said cautiously: "There are about a hundred of them, but they are all criminal prisoners who have committed crimes. Cui Ming said that when they were recorded in Yangzhou Tingsi, they were counted as stray wives. I have learned that these criminal prisoners are not bad, and there are some I have brought back the officials, officials and scholars who committed the crime, as well as the details sent by Wu State, the mountain bandits and water bandits captured in Yangzhou, etc., as well as the files of the crime. I am waiting for the doctor to decide whether to accept it or not. catch?"
Of course Wu Sheng accepted it, especially the family members of officials and scholars who had committed crimes. These were all talented people who could write and calculate. As for those mountain bandits and water bandits, they need to think about it.
"Are there any practitioners?"
"There are seven. By the way, they are locked by the Five Elements Control Chain. Cui Ming said, let us go back and return the Five Elements Chain. There are not many Tingsi in Yangzhou."
"Then let's go back. Let's use it first... Where is the file? I'll review it again and verify it. Small mistakes will be educated and criticized before they are used. Those who commit the most serious crimes will be punished."
There were more than 130 prisoners, more than 80 of whom were family members of Yangzhou officials and scholars. They came from three families. The heads of the families were charged with "disobedience", "colluding with Wu State", and "fleeing before the battle". However, the evidence was extremely Reluctantly, there was even a family named Wu who was unjustly accused. Wu Sheng suspected that it was either due to retaliation or because their surname was simply "Wu".
There is no way, Wu Chu has been fighting for many years, and it was okay at first, but the further the fight goes, the more this type of anger will appear.
"These three households can be released. The first, second and third grade homes under construction will be resettled one at a time and treated as Chinese people."
"What if they run away?"
"If they are on guard all day long, they will think about how to run away all day long. If they are allowed to come and go as they please, they will not run around blindly... They are prisoners of crime in Chu State, where can they run? Of course... If it is true... If you run away, don't make any noise, just get rid of it after you catch it..."
"I understand."
"The female bandit from Linglong Village in the south of Yangzhou City? Continue to detain me, I can be useful... Kill these two, they are too ruthless, and they are not unjust. Please check again before execution..."
"These two...huh?" Wu Sheng's eyes suddenly widened and a smile appeared on his lips.
