When Jiajing looked at Wang Lidong again, the eagerness in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"Master Immortal, this elixir..."
Wang Lidong said:
"When Pindao first came here, he told you, the emperor, that he was here to make a deal."
Jiajing waved his hand and said boldly:
"Immortal Master,
How much silver is a Nirvana Bone-Replacing Pill? Give me ten pills first, not twenty."
If you want to do something nice, if you want money, you need to find a poor emperor like you.
Wang Lidong shook his head and said:
"Emperor, do you think this kind of elixir can be bought with money?"
Jiajing sighed in his heart, what a pity.
"Then what does the immortal master want?"
"Pindao wants Jilong Island to be a dojo (Wanwan in later generations)."
Jiajing was startled after hearing this.
Of course he knows where Jilong Mountain is.
Unexpectedly, what Wang Lidong wanted was a deserted island.
"The island I remember is very desolate.
There must be a lot of inconvenience living there.
What do you think of my Xiyuan?
If you like,
I will give Xiyuan to the immortal master as a dojo."
Wang Lidong waved his hand and said:
"A poor Taoist needs Jilong Mountain. This Xiyuan is beautiful, but it's a pity that it is too tacky and is not conducive to cultivation."
"What about Jingshan..."
Jiajing tried to persuade him for a while, but Wang Lidong only wanted Jilong Mountain, so he said:
"I will issue an order in a few minutes, and Jilong Mountain will be given to the immortal master as a dojo."
Wang Lidong was not afraid that he would go back on his word, so he took out another jade bottle.
Jiajing swallowed the hawthorn pill without any hesitation this time, but soon felt extreme pain in his abdomen.
When Huang Jin found out, he was about to shout in horror.
Wang Lidong glared at this guy:
"Why are you panicking? It's just a normal reaction. This situation shows that there are too many toxins in the body.
Help him to go to the latrine and wait until the row is cleared."
After saying that, the old god stood up and meditated.
Huang Jin, who was sweating profusely in a hurry, looked at Jiajing:
"Your Majesty..."
"Listen, sir, hurry up,
Help me go to Chugong."
Although Jiajing had a stomachache, it felt similar to diarrhea before, not like poisoning.
After burning a stick of incense, Emperor Jiajing felt refreshed and entered the hall with extremely relaxed steps.
When he saw Wang Lidong again, Jiajing was like a sex addict seeing a supplier selling sex, and his enthusiasm made Wang Lidong feel numb.
Only by experiencing it personally can you understand what elixir is.
If Wang Lidong hadn't been here, he would have gone to the harem to play games right now.
"Master Immortal, can you give me a spell like that just now? The one that makes people very clean."
Watching Jiajing talking and gesticulating, Wang Lidong did not charge any additional service fee for the customer's small request.
I used a ‘cleansing technique’.
Emperor Jiajing instantly felt that his whole body was extremely refreshing. He put his hand to the tip of his nose and smelled it. The faint smell was gone.
What a magic trick!
"Master Immortal, I just mentioned the twenty Nirvana Bone-Replacing Pills. I wonder what I need to exchange for them?"
Wang Lidong waved his hand and said:
"The Nirvana Bone-Replacing Pill is extremely difficult to refine. A poor man can only make two or three pills in a year.
You can only take one pill a year at most."
"What medicinal materials does the immortal master lack?
Just report it to Huang Jin and let him get it."
Seeing the awesome Jiajing,
Wang Lidong opened his mouth and said:
"The faintest star in the sky,
Do you have this?"
He had never heard of this before, so he quickly looked at Huang Jin who was standing aside.
The great eunuch thought for a long time, but he still didn't think about what the "Tianxing Momo" was.
"Master Immortal, what kind of medicinal material is this Tianxing Momo?"
If you ask me, if I ask who is going, he will just casually say that he remembers which TV series it is from.
"Things from the sky will fall to our planet by chance."
Extraterrestrial objects?!
Emperor Jiajing glanced at Huang Jin's belly with an unkind look.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let Huang Jin try the medicine.
Such a waste!
"Is there nothing else that can replace it?"
Wang Lidong just shook his head.
Hawthorn pills are only effective when eaten in front of him. If you give him too much, the secret will definitely be exposed.
In the end, Jiajing reluctantly reached a supply agreement with Wang Lidong for one pill per year.
"Master Immortal, why did I have a stomachache just now, but Huang Jin..."
"You took some random pills all day long and got erysipelas."
"I made the elixir according to the recipe, how could it be poisoned? Is the recipe wrong?"
When he said this, Jiajing's face became even more ugly.
In order to refine these useless and poisonous elixirs, he spent more than five or six hundred thousand taels of silver every year.
What's even more disgusting is that in the eyes of those Taoist priests, I must be a big fool!
Wang Lidong said disdainfully:
“I’ve never heard of a saying, What’s honey to you is arsenic to another.
For a real person who has attained the Tao, it is a tonic when taken, but to ordinary people, it is poison.
Seeing that this guy was still asking questions, Wang Lidong said impatiently: "I've said everything that needs to be said, it's up to you to believe it or not."
You don’t even mention how much consulting fee you will pay. You are the emperor and I don’t care.
Jiajing immediately kicked Huang Jin:
"If you don't go and make a pot of tea for the immortal master, you are really losing your eyesight as you get older."
Huang Jin hurriedly nodded and apologized, then trotted out the door.
Wang Lidong's attitude changed. He immediately realized what the problem was and cursed Wang Lidong in his heart for being a philistine.
But for the sake of the elixir and immortality, he had no choice but to endure it.
"I wonder what else the immortal master wants to trade?"
"There is a deal, I want to get an official position for someone."
Jiajing's eyes flashed and he asked curiously:
"Who is the immortal master seeking an official position for, and what official position do you want?"
Wang Lidong told a short story.
A year ago, he accidentally entered the turbulence of time and space, and then entered this world.
He was seriously injured at that time and happened to be rescued by Lin Zhennan. Then in order to repay this kindness, he taught Lin Zhennan's son Lin Pingzhi some basic kung fu.
Then he recounted Lin Pingzhi’s recent experiences.
Jiajing listened to the whole story silently. He took the first half as a story, but the content of the second half shocked him.
A group of thieves dared to steal his tax money and conceal his population and land area.
Most of the Japanese pirates along the coast were from the Ming Dynasty, and they raised the Japanese pirates in a self-respecting manner.
...
Half an hour later, Wang Lidong returned to Yuelai Inn.
The purpose of coming to Beijing this time has been achieved, and he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
Not only did he reach the entire Jilong Mountain, he also made himself the new prefect of Rongcheng.
As for how the current prefect will deal with it, that has nothing to do with him.
In comparison, Jiajing does not suffer.
According to the information he gave, if Jiajing had the courage and operated well, the Ming Dynasty's treasury could increase its revenue by at least several million taels of silver every year.
Among the materials sent to Jiajing, there was a letter from Governor Ruan's family. There was a short paragraph in the letter about the Ruan family's maritime trade income.
In half a year, I made a full 450,000 taels of silver.
And not a penny of tax was paid.

Linhai County Government Office
"Excuse me, little brother, is County Magistrate Lin here?"
Yue Buqun asked facing the door.
The disciple looked at Yue Buqun, who was dressed as a scholar, and replied politely:
"Sir, Magistrate Lin is not in the county office. He returned to Rongcheng yesterday because of something."
Yue Buqun was a little disappointed. He came all the way here, but he didn't expect that his future son-in-law was not in the Yamen.
"Brother, do you know when County Magistrate Lin will return to the Yamen?"
Menzi said:
"As usual, I should return to the Yamen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
It usually takes two days for adults to return to Rongcheng, so if you don’t come back today, you will come back tomorrow.”
