If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 12 Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Cream

"Tiger, bear? Second brother, what do you want these for?" Zhu Zhanji was a little confused, but he still answered Zhu Zhanchun's question: "There must not be any in Nanjing, but if you want it, second brother, you can ask outside the city. You can buy it from a hunter, or if I take you out of the city to hunt someday, you can hunt it if you are lucky."

"Is that so... Could you please help me get a few tigers and bears back first? It doesn't matter whether they live or die, but they must be kept alive." After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanquan decided to buy it first, and then started from He took out a bag of gold from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Zhanji.

Facing the gold handed over by Zhu Zhankun, Zhu Zhanji quickly blocked it and said: "We are all brothers. A few tigers don't matter. I treat you as my brother!"

However, Zhu Zhanquan shook his head and stuffed the gold into Zhu Zhanji's arms without refusal, and then said: "Brother, please don't refuse. I want more than one batch of these beasts. If we use them together, there will be a lot of them." For those who have purchased it, I will have to trouble you big brother when the time comes, the gold can only be regarded as a deposit."

Zhu Zhanji's words suddenly made Zhu Zhanji even more curious. Zhu Zhanji accepted one or two tigers, and he could still think that Zhu Zhanji wanted to eat them and used them to satisfy his greed.

Although this sounds a bit extravagant, the people living in Nanjing are either generals who founded the country or nobles who were in trouble. It is quite common to want to eat some wild animals such as tigers and leopards as a tooth sacrifice.

After all, they are all generals, and they still have some personal guards at home. They have not lost all their bows, horses, swords, and they are only second or third generation nobles. It is not uncommon to go hunting or something.

But if beasts like tigers and bears want to make large and long-term acquisitions, this is not an easy matter.

"Second brother, if you only want to eat one or two to satisfy your craving, even if you ask for it every now and then, my eldest brother can find a way for you, but this requires a large amount of acquisition..." Zhu Zhanji said with a confused look on his face, spreading his hands. : "Even if you are rich, our East Palace is not afraid of the trouble to collect them. There are not many ferocious beasts like tigers and bears that you can collect! It might be easier to say if you are still in Peking. In Yingtian Mansion, even if you are searching the mountains and forests. I can’t be satisfied either!”

Hearing what Zhu Zhanji said, Zhu Zhanqi couldn't help but frown. After leaving the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, he had forgotten that there was a huge difference between the world of the Ming Dynasty and the world of cultivating immortals.

It is indeed rare to see ferocious beasts in this fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not easy to obtain ferocious beasts on a large scale.

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Zhu Zhanjun then looked up at Zhu Zhanji and said, "In that case, brother, please help get a few beasts back first. I need to re-plan this matter."

"A few ferocious beasts are easy to get, but second brother, you should tell the elder brother, what do you want these ferocious beasts for? Looking at you like this, you shouldn't just get them to eat, right?" Zhu Zhanji looked at his younger brother and did not speculate. What did Zhu Zhanjuan want to do? Instead, he asked directly.

Zhu Zhanquan did not hide anything, and explained to Zhu Zhanji in detail: "I have a prescription, called Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment. It needs to be used as medicine by ferocious animals, extract the essence of their blood and bones, refine it into medicine, and take it It strengthens the muscles and bones, and the strength is self-generated. Even a weak scholar can drag down nine oxen after using it, and he has the courage that ten thousand people cannot match."

"There is such a wonderful medicine in the world?!" Zhu Zhanji's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were shining: "Could it be that you, second brother, got this on Penglai Immortal Island? How much money did you spend on this prescription? What kind of medicine is needed? Medicinal materials? Does refining require furnace cauldron manpower? As for ferocious beasts, besides tigers and bears, can other animals be used? Oxen and horses are also very powerful, and they are easy to obtain in large numbers. I wonder if they can be used?"

When Zhu Zhanji heard Zhu Zhankun's description, he immediately thought of the effect this medicine would have if used in the military.Following an emperor like Zhu Di since he was a child, Zhu Zhanji undoubtedly knows the military. He knows that if an army is full of tigers and wolves, and has the power to drag down nine oxen, the number does not need to be large. A few hundred people can do it. It is enough to become a powerful force in the world, and with a strong general, it can gallop freely and be unstoppable.

Therefore, he is very concerned about whether this medicine can be manufactured in large quantities and whether it can be used in the army.

"Second brother, you may not know that although our father is the prince, his position is not stable at all!" Zhu Zhanji held his brother's thin shoulders with both hands. Although he couldn't bear it, he still spoke to him sincerely. Said: "Grandpa went on the Northern Expedition, and dad oversaw the country. Although he got the unanimous support of the courtiers, dad only controlled the civil service, and the military power was always in the hands of my second uncle! Our family has no foundation in the martial arts field, and dad has none. Military power, if grandpa becomes famous in the future, our family will not be able to stop my second uncle from trying again.

So we have to find a way to win over the support of noble generals!In the past, the eldest brother could only think of ways to hang out with the children of the noble family, but if your prescription works well, second brother, then our family will have one more way to win over the generals, which will be of great help to dad! "

Zhu Zhanji didn't want to put the pressure of fighting for the heirloom on his brother who had just woken up, but when the matter was here, he couldn't help but be soft-hearted, so he could only persuade his brother with sincerity.

"Brother, I understand what you are saying. In addition to using this thing for myself, I also wanted to help my father cultivate some influence in the military." Zhu Zhanchen patted Zhu Zhanji's hand. Signaling him to let go of himself.

After Zhu Zhanji let go of his shoulder, Zhu Zhanqi looked at Zhu Zhanji who was much taller and stronger than him, and explained to him with a smile: "Qianyuan Marrow Marrow Cream requires ferocious beasts as medicine. Although it is not impossible to use cattle and horses, the medicinal effect will be reduced without the ferocious beast.

It's not impossible to use them for military training, but does my Ming Dynasty have so many cattle and horses that can be used as medicine?A serving of Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment requires a cow or a horse, and it must be a bullock and a war horse. Ordinary farm cattle and horses cannot be used as medicine at all.

As for the extravagance, it's not a lot of money. The main ingredient in this prescription is still a beast. The various drugs are just to blend the extracted blood essence so that the human body can absorb it.

It's just that it takes a lot of effort to refine this kind of medicine. Currently, only I can refine it myself. It can be used to make friends with noble generals, but it still needs some arrangements to train troops. "

Having said this, Zhu Zhanju patted Zhu Zhanji's arm and comforted his eldest brother.

After Zhu Zhanji heard what Zhu Zhanchun said, his excitement also calmed down. While he was calculating the pros and cons in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In Zhu Zhanji's imagination, making friends with nobles was secondary, and cultivating an army loyal to the East Palace was the top priority. However, Zhu Zhanji's words undoubtedly shattered his beautiful vision. How could he not What about loss?
