Fang Chongyong has always believed that friendship and communication between people need a carrier. It is real, not illusory emotion and gratitude.
Just like the emperor has no force, but can control those arrogant border generals. The emperor relies on a complete national system, abundant and timely logistics supplies, an airtight supervision system in the border army, and a top-down
The etiquette of respect and humiliation.
These are real things, with countless people and things as carriers and channels.
When the country is in chaos, the country's organizational structure will be greatly weakened, the logistics system will become fragmented, and the supervision system will become better than nothing. The people and things that carry the emperor's majesty no longer exist, so arrogant soldiers and generals will emerge in endlessly. If they are slightly dissatisfied,
He would take his sword and go to the outside of Chang'an City to question the emperor.
The "friendship" and "correspondence" between the emperor and his generals also required these visible and invisible carriers. It does not mean that if someone becomes emperor in Chang'an, the border troops and even the imperial guards outside will really regard him as an emperor.
emperor.
The exercise of power requires carriers and channels, which are the "unspeakable secrets" hidden in the power system.
During the Kaiyuan period, Brother Ji firmly controlled similar carriers and channels, so he could dictate government affairs at will.
Now having a secret conversation with Xiao Jiong in the study of Jiedu Mansion in Hexi, Fang Chongyong has truly felt the power of this "carrier".
Xiao Jiong, who had no talent and was dismissed from his post because of the "White Character" incident, was originally a big salted fish not worth mentioning.
However, once he had the power and blessing of the Hexi Jiedushi, he could become more powerful.
Of course, it is not Xiao Jiong himself who is powerful, but the authority of the national system!
"If Fang Canjun has anything to say, you can say it now."
Xiao Jiong said calmly. He knew that Fang Chongyong was not here to get close to him.
"Xiao Jieshuai, why don't you take a look at this prescription first?"
Fang Chongyong took out the prescription he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Jiong.
His coming here was planned, but the person he was talking to changed from the expected Cui Xiyi to Xiao Jiong.
In fact, Fang Chongyong understood from the beginning that if this prescription did not have the credibility endorsement of Hexi Jiedushi, Brother Ji would probably not take it seriously!
Even if he was Fang Youde's son, Ji Ge would probably treat it as a joke and throw it aside.
"This...seems interesting."
Xiao Jiong said casually, using such ambiguous words to cover up his ignorance.
In fact, he couldn't tell what disease this prescription was for, not to mention that it only contained drug types and no drug ratios.
The clever formula of traditional Chinese medicine is "one prescription for one disease", and there is no duplicate. If different people get the same disease, the prescription will most likely need to be fine-tuned.
A clever doctor can change from saving people to killing people by just slightly adjusting the proportion of a certain drug when prescribing the same medicine.
Xiao Jiong still knows this simple truth.
"Xiao Jieshuai may not understand what this prescription means to the saint. My father is a close minister of the emperor, so he is also very concerned about what the saint wants and wants.
Is this prescription what Xiao Jieshuai is looking for?"
Fang Chongyong asked with a smile, as if he had seen through all Xiao Jiong's intentions!
"Well……"
Xiao Jiong felt like he was being manipulated. He could resist, but it seemed unnecessary. It was better to listen to what the other party said.
"Xiao Jieshuai, don't you want to go to Dunhuang to look for those weird recipes from the Western Regions?"
"That's naturally impossible..."
Xiao Jiong said sarcastically after being exposed by others.
What achievements can he make in Hexi! He is not a fool!
There are so many elite soldiers and generals here, almost concentrating the essence of the Tang Dynasty's frontier army. In Li Longji's opinion, it is necessary to win against the Tubo people; if they lose, they will be severely beaten!
All of Xiao Jiong's hopes are based on this recipe. As long as Brother Ji becomes sexually happy and healthy, his fame, fortune and fortune will be guaranteed.
As for whether the Hexi frontier army can win...what does that have to do with Mr. Xiao?
As long as the Tubo people can't capture cities and territories in Hexi, there is nothing wrong with him as the governor. By pleasing Ji Ge, he can return to the central government and be a comfortable official in the capital!
Now being manipulated by a monster half-year-old child, this feeling is quite subtle.
"A certain prescription can actually be given to Xiao Jieshuai. It itself is of no use to me. However, it cannot be handed over to Xiao Jieshuai casually and willfully. This is what I think."
Fang Zhongyong spoke quickly and did not want to talk about moral ideals to a profit-seeking person like Xiao Jiong.
If we talk directly about interests, people like Xiao Jiong can better understand.
"Okay, what do you want Fang to join the army?"
Xiao Jiong nodded slightly and said, not daring to treat the other person as a half-grown child. These days, the power of the prodigies of the Tang Dynasty is still very powerful. Liu Yan wrote a memorial to Brother Ji at the age of ten, and Li Mi followed him at the age of nine.
The great bachelors in the center were chatting and laughing.
Xiao Jiong is also well-informed and does not think that Fang Chongyong's talent is so outrageous.
It is indeed very strong, but it is also within the range that humans can understand.
"After the medicine is prepared, Xiao Jieshuai must present the medicine to the saint in the name of Hexi Jiedu Mansion as an auspicious sign."
Fang Chongyong made a "strange" request.
"In the name of Hexi Jiedu Mansion..."
Xiao Jiong was silent. He originally wanted to donate it in his own name, but now it is in the name of the local governor, which seems to make sense!
No matter how stupid Li Longji is, he will never be able to explain who caused something.
"What else? Doesn't this seem to do you any good?"
Xiao Jiong asked curiously.
"The second requirement requires Commander Xiao Jie to issue an order. This recipe is auspicious and only saints can enjoy it. If anyone else sells this medicine, they will be fined and punished!"
Fang Chongyong made his second request, which was also a bit "strange".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, his approach is in line with the old rules of paying tribute to Chang'an from various places.
Goods from a certain place designated as tribute are usually not allowed to be sold locally on a large scale to other places. It is okay to make a small fuss, but if someone reports it or the sales are too large, the government will also punish it.
To sum it up in a simple way: You ordinary people like you want to follow the trend and use the health-care aphrodisiacs that Brother Ji uses every day. Are you trying to "cultivate yourself into a dragon"?
Or do you want to have an emperor in your family?
This kind of thing is difficult to explain and cannot be explained clearly. In short, this prescription and medicine can only be used by those who receive the reward from Li Longji!
Otherwise, it’s just an evil intention!
This is one of the majesty of imperial power. The emperor's superiority is reflected through rules of this kind and one after another.
"Do you want to... sell medicine in the Western Region?"
Xiao Jiong suddenly realized and finally understood Fang Chongyong's thinking.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was indeed inappropriate for ordinary people to use such "imperial medicine". However, there was no such problem when it was sold by Hu merchants in the Western Regions.
Fang Chongyong took advantage of the rules to take advantage of the situation.
"These medicinal materials are all produced in places around Bai Dinh Hai. Therefore, it is not me who wants to sell the medicine, but Bai Dinh Jun who wants to sell the medicine.
Later, we do not rule out the participation of other armies in Liangzhou, such as the Chishui Army."
Fang Chongyong said calmly.
This is such a deep pit for riding a horse!
Xiao Jiong took a breath, he didn't expect Fang Chongyong to play so big.
This time, I have to agree even if I don’t agree!
Blocking the border army's way of making money offended not just a few people, but a group of people! The medicine used by Ji Ge's royal family is likely to become a "specialty" in Hexi and sold to various places through the hands of merchants from the Western Regions.
It's a good thing used by the emperor. I'll sell it to you at the risk of deceiving the emperor and charge you dozens more. Isn't this too much?
It is said that the people do not appoint officials and do not investigate. The army on the west side of the river has come to interfere. Who dares to take care of this matter?
Besides, this kind of thing can make money quickly and you don’t have to pretend to be a bandit to kill people. It can be regarded as a way of making money out of thin air! Xiao Jiong favors others and feels that the military envoys in the Hexi Corridor will not object to this matter and will only actively participate in it.
.
You know, no mature and wealthy man will refuse this kind of medicine.
Brother Ji is using all the good things, but whose life is more valuable than Brother Ji?
Xiao Jiong discovered that Fang Chongyong's move was really one step after another. Everyone could only follow his routine and finish the game!
Thinking about it on the other hand, the frontier army made a lot of money and could buy war horses.
The saint got the health medicine and lived a happier and happier life.
As the governor of Hexi Province, he contributed medicines and prescriptions with great merit, and it was easy for him to get promoted and make a fortune.
And merchants from the Western Regions in Hexi have another local specialty. The medicine does not take up volume or weight. If it is sold to other places, they can also make a lot of money!
This game is simply a typical win-win game, and no one will stand up to object.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jiong suddenly felt a chill on his back! Fang Chongyong was still half a child, and he was already so mature and mellow in his work. What will he become when he grows up?
Xiao Jiong simply didn't dare to think deeply.
But now it was no longer up to him. He couldn't refuse this matter at all. Otherwise, all the armies in Hexi would be offended to death. How could he continue to be the governor?
"Are you sure about this prescription? How sure are you?"
Xiao Jiong asked in a deep voice, already tacitly accepting the "small game" arranged by Fang Chongyong in his heart.
"Basically, it's a sure shot. Doctor Li is formulating the recipe, and someone is also testing the medicine. There should be some clues before the saint's birthday."
Fang Chongyong said directly without any hesitation.
Having said that, you can't be soft, especially when facing a profit-seeking person like Xiao Jiong!
"I understand, whatever you need, I will fully support you."
Xiao Jiong suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried to keep his face calm.
"I need a lot of medicinal materials, and I also ask Hexi Jiedu Government to issue a decree to purchase medicinal materials."
Fang Chongyong said in a deep voice, not getting carried away.
In fact, there is no need to leave this matter to Xiao Jiong. This is just to convince the other party. In addition, Fang Chongyong has other ideas, which cannot be accomplished without a large amount of medicinal materials.
"That's easy to say."
Xiao Jiong nodded slightly and said.
He naturally understands that if you want your horse to run well, you must let it eat good grass. If there are no medicinal materials, how can you come up with a prescription?
"That's it, then I took my leave. Xiao Jieshuai shouldn't tell the right minister about this matter, right?"
Fang Chongyong hinted explicitly.
Xiao Jiong was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "It's impossible not to let the Prime Minister know that, but you can tell the Prime Minister later. By then, there will be no way to stop this matter, and the Prime Minister will have no choice but to accept it."
Of course Xiao Jiong had thought about Li Linfu. How could he give up the opportunity to please Brother Ji to Li Linfu?
However, as long as there is a time lag in these "detailed operations", the news of Hexi can reach Brother Ji's ears in advance. By then, even if Li Linfu wants to stop it or take credit, it will be too late.
"This will make you feel relieved. This matter was handled by Xiao Jieshuai and has nothing to do with this half-grown child. Is that right?"
Fang Chongyong asked with a smile.
Xiao Jiong was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Fang Chongyong's worries. As the saying goes, "Be strong without desire", if the person who arranges the plan has no thoughts about the people and things in the game, then he is almost invincible!
"That's natural. Fang joins the army... he is really a young hero."
Xiao Jiong bowed sincerely. He didn't have much ink in his stomach, but that didn't mean he couldn't even look at people!
"I can't ride a big horse, and I can't lift a sword. Isn't it ridiculous to talk about a young hero? He is just a child with a yellow mouth and a little cleverness, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
Fang Chongyong was polite and humble, then thanked him and left Hexi Jiedu Mansion.
After he left, Xiao Jiong looked at his back and sighed: "You can advance and retreat freely. Many children from aristocratic families who have been officials for many years are not as good as you."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiao Jiong felt a sense of powerlessness as "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach."
…
After coming to the hospital to see Anaye, Fang Chongyong told Anaye everything he had promised to Xiao Jiong.
As a result, this girl from Hexi, who is from the Western Regions, exclaimed: "You are crazy!"
He worked so hard to prepare the prescription and finally sent it to the emperor. He also gave all the credit to the newly appointed Hexi Jiedushi who showed no favor to him! Fang Chongyong’s approach seems no different from that of a fool!
Seeing Fang Chongyong's indifferent look, Anaye almost burst into tears.
"I keep the prescription and wait for the emperor's grace to reward me?"
Fang Chongyong asked rhetorically.
Anaye was stunned for a moment, then woke up and murmured: "It seems that the emperor's gift is of no use."
People in Hexi have no personal experience of the power of imperial power. If someone in Chang'an hears Fang Chongyong say this, they will immediately realize that this is a path to "prosperity"!
This is the saying that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, but the poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people.
"There is something really wrong with the prescription. Wouldn't it be nice to have Hexi Jiedushi in front of him to take care of it?"
Fang Chongyong asked again.
"You are so eloquent with this mouth..."
Anaye couldn't defeat him, and she complained in her mouth. In fact, it was nothing more. She just felt that Fang Chongyong was too easy to bully, and others could take whatever she had in hand!
"A bird in the hand is worth less than ten thousand birds in the forest. For those benefits that are visible but cannot be obtained, it is best to take the initiative to let them go. There is no need to grab them all."
Fang Chongyong waved his hand and told Anaye: "Your father and I still have something to talk about. You go and rest first."
Anaye's expression dimmed, then she nodded slightly, turned and left.
…
In the pharmacy, Dr. Li handed a very detailed prescription to Fang Chongyong and said, "That's basically it."
This prescription not only contains the proportions of various medicinal materials, but also clearly states the instructions for taking it.
"No, decoction is too troublesome. It is best to stir-fry this medicine and just brew it with boiling water. There is no need to pursue the best medicinal effect."
Fang Chongyong directly pointed out the biggest problem in this recipe!
How can health products be inconvenient to eat?
When Ji Ge feels like it, he can make a medicine and drink it. This is the minimum requirement for similar health medicines!
"Take it with boiling water?"
Medical Officer Li was stunned, feeling that Fang Chongyong was talking nonsense.
"Yes, if it can be made into pills, that would be better. But I think this is more difficult, so I can only settle for the next best thing."
