At this time, in a house hidden in the valley, there were several large iron pots placed in the room, and a group of people were stirring the apples in the pot with shovels. Until they were cooked thoroughly, they were taken out to be filtered into juice and fermented.
After completion, pour it into a copper pot, infiltrate the smoke paste, stir evenly, and boil it into a black paste, take it out and dry it, and it is the "Fu.Shou. Paste".
Ichiro Matsumoto looked down proudly.
He spent most of his life traveling around, and he had been to Dayan when merchants from Dayan came to the Kingdom of Yamato.
At that time, Dayan was very ordinary. He only stayed for a few days and then returned to the sea.
But he never expected that when he came to Dayan again after ten years, what he saw in front of him was a scene that he could never imagine!
The road surface was smooth and wide, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Many of the things walking on the street were something he had never seen before... There was even a time when he saw a giant steel beast speeding wildly!
He was just horrified at first, but gradually, everything in front of him seemed to turn into countless gold and silver jewels!
But what kind of business can he do to make money every day without capital? He thought for a long time, and finally thought of something from Tianzhu. It was grown in many places in Tianzhu and Britain. After he refined it, he changed his name.
Sold to people from Dayan.
What does it matter if he is not from Dayan? As long as he gives them a little profit, they will happily help him sell it.
He would often stand in front of the drugstore. Whenever he saw some stupid people holding the box as if they had found a treasure, he felt very pity in his heart.
Those who take these regularly are all like skeletons, with dull eyes, like the living dead... But they really regard this as a good medicine! Once you start taking it, you can't live without it for the rest of your life. How can he not make money?
And when everyone is attracted to it, the country becomes a mess!
In the words of their Dayan people, this can be regarded as a complete victory without any bloodshed!
Ichiro Matsumoto thought proudly.
At this moment, someone hurried in and said: "Mr. Songjia! There is a wealthy businessman from other places who wants to see you and wants to buy a lot of blessing, longevity and ointment!"
Ichiro Matsumoto frowned, a little unhappy. No matter how many times he said it, people here would always think his surname was Matsu.
But he smiled pleasantly: "A wealthy businessman from other places?"
"Yes!" The man said, "He looks very rich!"
Ichiro Matsumoto said with a smile: "Okay."
Soon, he saw this wealthy businessman. He was only a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was well-dressed and high-spirited.
Ichiro Matsumoto visited Dayan several times and stayed for several years. He spoke Chinese extremely fluently and developed his eyesight. He could tell at a glance that this man had extraordinary bearing, and his attitude became even more amiable.
But the young man was always lazy, as if he was not short of money, and he said: "I must have a box worth ten or twenty thousand!"
Ten to twenty thousand boxes!? Matsumoto Ichiro laughed urgently and said: "Huo Xiaolang is really good at joking."
"Who are you kidding me?" He said: "It's just ten thousand boxes, a mere two hundred thousand taels. Do you think I can't take it out?"
Matsumoto Ichiro said anxiously: "Huo Xiaolang is rich and powerful, when will you want it?"
"Of course, the sooner the better!" Huo Yuxin said arrogantly: "I won't be able to stay here for long, can you give it to me within three days?"
"This..." Matsumoto Ichiro said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for three days. How about this? I'll give you a box of this..." He gestured: "How about I give it to you within ten days?"
Huo Yuxin pretended to be dissatisfied, and the two of them went back and forth.
Finally, the discussion was settled, and Huo Yuxin readily paid the deposit and signed the deed. Then Huo Yuxin asked: "Will eating too much of this stuff kill you?"
"How could it be possible?" Ichiro Matsumoto said, "This is a miracle medicine that brings blessings and longevity!"
Huo Yuxin smiled slightly and sent Matsumoto Ichiro off.
He turned around and went next door.
The prince was sitting quietly.
Huo Yuxin said: "It seems that he only has that workshop in the local area, and there are no others outside." He paused: "In other words, he is the only one in this business!"
The prince nodded: "Very good! Fortunately, it was discovered in time! Then it will be easier for us to clean up!"
He stood up and directly ordered: "Let's do it tonight!"
As soon as Matsumoto Ichiro returned to the workshop hidden in the valley, he was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and all the unfinished products were secretly transported away.
At the same time, all the pharmacies that cooperated with Matsumoto Ichiro were also raided overnight. People holding lanterns were everywhere. Those who were woken up were still ignorant of what was going on.
And Ichiro Matsumoto returned to the mansion where they first met.
When he saw Huo Yuxin, Matsumoto Ichiro's first thought was that he wanted to swallow his goods, and he couldn't help but said angrily: "How can you not be honest! I came to do business in your dayan! How dare you do this?
To me! Aren’t you afraid that I will go back and tell Emperor Jimmu that I won’t do business with you, Dayan?”
"Ha!" Huo Yuxin sneered: "What's wrong with me? I just want to treat you to a taste of the things you made!" He asked someone to bring a box over: "You eat more, and I'll treat you to it."
, don’t charge money.”
Matsumoto Ichiro's expression changed and he suddenly stepped back: "I won't eat! I won't eat! Ugh!"
He groaned and was kicked to the ground by Huo Yuxin.
Huo Yuxin said coldly: "Isn't it a magical medicine that can bring blessings and longevity? Why don't you take it yourself?"
He forced it into his mouth, and Matsumoto Ichiro spit it out desperately. Huo Yuxin turned him over and stepped on the acupuncture point. Matsumoto Ichiro was frightened and opened his mouth, and he swallowed the mouthful of blessing.
Go down.
Ichiro Matsumoto's eyes were split open: "How dare you do this! I am your guest in Dayan!"
Huo Yuxin kicked me again: "Where do you have the nerve to claim to be a guest of Dayan? A guest who poisoned the host!? We in Dayan have high etiquette and are always polite to business guests, but for you
Such a heartless jackal will never be polite!"
Xu Jingxi came in from outside: "Brother, I will interrogate you. Go and help His Highness."
Huo Yuxin nodded and then put his feet back. Xu Jingxi knelt down and opened the lid of the box of Fu Shou Ointment.
Huo Yuxin hurried to the front. His status was suppressed and he could handle things more easily than Xu Jingxi.
At this time, several people had been brought over. From time to time in the darkness, a wailing sound sounded: "I don't know! I really don't know! No matter how inhuman I am, I don't dare to do such a thing!"
The prince stood in the corridor with his hands folded, listening quietly.
The prince's appearance and temperament look very much like Emperor Chengsheng. In fact, his temperament is much tougher and more angular than his father's, and his actions are somewhat like Yan Shiyue's, with a bit of hatred for evil.
Huo Yuxin advised: "I'm afraid these people don't really know much, and... it's not advisable to deal with them too much."
"I know." The prince said, "But we must teach them a lesson."
Huo Yuxin asked: "People outside?"
"There's no need to be anxious," the prince said: "I deliberately asked them to make a big fuss, so that they would remember."
Huo Yuxin nodded and stopped trying to persuade him.
People outside were panic-stricken, and the commotion lasted all night. It was not until dawn that several people came out of the governor's mansion on horseback, carrying the imperial edict as they went.
The imperial court added a series of laws regarding blessings, longevity and anointing, such as:
From now on, all ports will be under martial law to prohibit the inflow of blessings, longevity and ointments. Anyone who neglects his duties and causes the inflow of such goods will be immediately dismissed from office and held accountable.
Cultivation and sales are prohibited, and offenders will be put to death immediately. Anyone who takes this substance privately will have their home confiscated and be imprisoned for three years. They will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations.
Officials and their family members who have taken the drug must stop immediately for half a year. If they cannot stop, they will be removed from office immediately. Those who conceal and fail to report will be immediately exiled once discovered. Those who are members of the royal family who have taken the drug will be removed from the family tree immediately once discovered...
There are also a series of measures to reward whistleblowers.
Not only the people, but also the officials were stunned. This was really the heaviest ceremony since the Ming Yan Dynasty and the Chengsheng Dynasty.
I rode several horses and ran up and down the streets and alleys several times to make sure everyone heard me clearly.
Then another group of people started to preach the dangers of this thing, and they also ran back and forth several times.
Among the common people, there are actually many people who have taken this product. Some are horrified, some are panic-stricken, and some think it is alarmist.
But the next moment, someone brought a cage of mice from everywhere, found a higher place, and then conducted experiments in public...
Nothing is as good as seeing it with your own eyes. What you saw with your own eyes, I'm afraid I will never forget that scene in this life.
While he was busy outside, Xu Jingxi spent two full days to interrogate Matsumoto Ichiro.
Then he discussed it with the prince and the others, and then brought a porcelain jar in: "You think you know our Dayan very well, then you must have heard of Gu."
Matsumoto Ichiro's expression suddenly changed!
Of course he has heard of Gu, which is an extremely terrifying thing in legend!
Ji Shitang spent several years studying this thing. This should be a scientific research voodoo. The prince specially sent someone to get it when he left the capital, just for use in this emergency.
Xu Jingxi drank the poison to him without any explanation, and then showed him the induction of the mother poison and the daughter poison. Matsumoto Ichiro rolled on the ground in pain, and his voice was hoarse from howling.
Then Xu Jingxi said coldly: "We will return all your things to you, and we will send people to help you... It is not rude to come back but not to reciprocate. Since you are a Yamato businessman, then please give this thing to you Yamato people."
Try it yourself!"
Matsumoto Ichiro didn't obey at first, but as soon as the mother-gu moved, he obeyed.
They sent him a few shadow guards and sent him on board the same day.
Since Ichiro Matsumoto is so good at business and invented this harmful thing without any knowledge, then go and bring trouble to your own family!
You must know that Ichiro Matsumoto is a successful man in Yamato. He has traveled to many countries and has extensive knowledge. Yamato is his hometown. It is of course much easier to develop business in his hometown than in a foreign country.
So a few years later, the country of Yamato was filled with zombies.
To describe it in the terms of later generations, it can be said that the national economy has regressed for two hundred years.
When Yan Shiyue learned about it afterwards, she just felt that... although this move did not comply with the rules of etiquette in the state, it was really great!
But after the incident, the prince also sent people to quietly sneak to Tianzhu and Britain to destroy this plant and strive to kill these things that will cause endless harm to future generations and the cancer of the entire human race in the cradle... The nightmare will never happen again.
, great love without boundaries, "creating peace for all generations"!
Of course, these are things for later.
It took the prince and his party two months to complete the follow-up work and rush back to Chang'an.
Xu Jingxi sent four cartloads of things and a large package of letters to Wannian Garden.
Because several people had merit in this matter, Emperor Chengsheng gave them half a month's leave. He came to Wannian Garden every day to ask for an audience, and waited from early morning until dusk.
He was busy in Jiangnan, but he wrote to her whenever he had time. Everything he saw and heard, no matter how big or small, was written down on paper. Huo Yuchu felt as if he was with him from the first letter to the last one.
I've been away this time.
Huo Yuxin came in and coughed: "Hey, I think this person is actually pretty good. Think about it again."
Huo Yuchu sighed, put his hand on the letter, and said after a while: "Let him come in."
At the pavilion not far away, Yan Shiyue looked down at Xu Jingxi who trotted in with a happy face, and couldn't help but sigh: "Poor Cheng Qi! It seems that this silly boy has achieved results!"
Huo Qijing held her hand with a smile, and Yan Shiyue looked down, just in time to see the three-inch Xiao Qi, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Finally one of them has been solved... The others are still waiting.
!”
"Why are you so anxious?" Huo Qijing said with a smile, "Wouldn't it be nice for the family to be together?"
"I'm not in a hurry!" Yan Shiyue smiled, hugged his arm, and kissed his chin: "No matter where I go, you will always be with me!" (To be continued)
