Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

In the Yan Mansion, Gu Gaoxu laughed a few times, relieved the short-term embarrassment, and said: "Brother Lu, we are joking, let's get down to business."

Gu Gaoxu took a thick account book from the table, placed it on the table in front of Lu Yuan, and said, "Brother Lu, these are the operations of Yandu Factory in the past six months. Take a look at it."

Lu Yuan brought the account book and opened a few pages at random. The handwriting on the account book was very neat, with no trace of alteration, and the large and small revenue and expenditures were recorded clearly.

The person doing the accounting must have been an accountant in his previous life.

Lu Yuan glanced at it for more than ten seconds, then closed the account book and said, "We still can't trust my brother. The records in this account book are very detailed. Who is in charge of writing the account? This person deserves to be used seriously."

Gu Gaoxu thought for a while and said: "My old man took a fancy to the candidate who was just selected this year, so he recruited him to work under his command, and now I have borrowed him."

Gu Gaoxu thought for a while and continued: "The original name seems to be Li Xiaosan'er. My old man thought the name was unpleasant, so he named him Li Chun. By the way, he should be from Taining City."

Lu Yuan had the impression that it was the land rented by Wutang in Taining City. It was the land rented by Li Xiaosan'er's family.

At that time, when Li Xiaosan'er was in poverty, Lu Yuan rented Li Xiaosan'er's land for 20 years of silver per year.

This guy, on the other hand, managed to live up to his expectations and made enough money to pass the exam this year, so all our hard work on him was not in vain.

Gu Gaoxu looked at Lu Yuan's deep thought and asked, "Brother Lu, do you know this person?"

Lu Yuan replied: "I don't know. Taining City is so big, we can't know everyone."

Li Chun has his own way to go. How he goes in the future depends on Li Chun's fate. This is all we can help.

Lu Yuan patted the account book and said, "The numbers here are true, but what's going on with a sum of tens of thousands of silver coins?"

Gu Gaoxu said with an apologetic smile: "Brother Lu, you know, the handful of golden beans yesterday can be taken from our name."

Gu Gaoxu made gestures.

"Okay, it doesn't matter anymore." Lu Yuan couldn't argue with Gu Gaoxu in such detail.

Lu Yuan finally took away two hundred thousand taels of silver, which was what Lu Yuan deserved.

In the next few days, Lu Yuan arranged for his cronies to load the silver into the car and take it back to Taining City.

Of course, just loaded with money, these seven or eight cars are not enough to transport the goods.

So Lu Yuan also exchanged several large amounts of banknotes and gold.

Lu Yuan found a goldsmith and melted the golden beans specially made by Gu Gaoxu.

Gu Gaoxu also asked: "Brother Lu, you are so good, why did you melt all the golden beans?"

Lu Yuan's answer was: "Golden beans are easy to lose when traveling long distances, so why not melt them into one big piece."

"That makes sense."

In addition to being busy with the factory's dividends, Lu Yuan studied alchemy in the villa.

In the study, Lu Yuan looked through "Alchemy" and felt that the records in the secret book were really exaggerated.

There are many medicinal materials for refining elixirs, and Lu Yuan has never even heard of them.

Just looking at the cheat book catalog, this elixir is divided into human level, earth level, and heaven level.

As far as low-grade human-level elixirs are concerned, Lu Yuan has not yet refined them.

Things like Wuzi Yanzong Pills, Quanlu Pills, Liuwei Dihuang Pills, etc. are considered low-grade among human-level elixirs.

If you want to achieve the effect of a low-grade human-level elixir, mix some Chinese medicinal materials, hold a small pot, and simmer for a period of time. The decoction will also have the same effect.

There are many low-grade elixirs at the human level but they are not long-lasting. For example, Liuwei Dihuang Pills can regulate the body, but they cannot cure it. Once you take it, you will feel strong, and once you stop it, you will feel weak.

The human-level middle-grade elixir can relax the muscles and activate the collaterals, lower blood pressure, lower blood lipids, lower blood sugar and other diseases. It can be said that the medicine can cure the disease.

Modern people suffering from affluence disease take antihypertensive drugs and inject insulin, which only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

If you take two or three of this human-level middle-grade elixir, it will be a radical cure.

If this were put in modern times, three human-level middle-grade elixirs could cure high blood sugar. Each pill would cost you 100,000 yuan. Would you buy it or not?

This human-level top-grade elixir is more effective. If you cut a piece of meat from your thigh and take the medicine, you can see with the naked eye that the cut meat can grow back. It's so miraculous.

Lu Yuan flipped through the secret book "Alchemy" with great interest, drooling from time to time and twisting the pages. He learned this from his grandmother.

Lu Yuan turned to the last page, flipped it back and forth a few times, and confirmed again and again incredulously.

"It's gone? Why is it that the human-level high-grade elixir is gone? Why is this secret book only half given?"

Looking at the back of the secret book, it doesn't look like it has been torn out, it feels like it is not fully presented.

Is it possible that the system rewards for my daughter are different from others?
Lu Yuan was very surprised and didn't know who to talk to for explanation.

Compared with other secret books, Lu Yuan likes this "Alchemy" very much.

Not only did he explain how to make elixirs, he also explained the formula for human-level elixirs.

Regarding Gu Gaochi's physical condition, Lu Yuan had checked his pulse yesterday.

Through traditional Chinese medicine, Lu Yuan roughly understood the symptoms.

Gu Gaochi is not simply obese, but because obesity causes other diseases.

Gu Gaochi walks a little slopingly, giving people a feeling of unevenness, like a person's shoulders.

Gu Gaochi's fat weight and poor standing posture weighed down one of his legs.

Compared with Gu Gaochi's bloated figure, this symptom was simply too inconspicuous.

Some people may say that Gu Gaochi is fat, but no one will say that Gu Gaochi walks a little stooped.

By diagnosing the pulse, Lu Yuan diagnosed that Gu Gaochi still had high blood pressure. If not regulated and controlled, it might induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in a few years.

Who knows, one day the capillaries in the brain will bleed and the person will die.

Even now, severe cerebral hemorrhage can be rescued.

However, this capillary bleeding in the brain is difficult to diagnose.

Just like a tire blowout, you will know it in three seconds; a tire leaking gas will only be known when the tire is flat.

Of course, whether you are sick or not, whether your tires are leaking or not, all need to be judged in detail, but you must not lose your sense of care.

If a tire is torn, it can be repaired; if a person dies, who will resurrect him?
Yesterday, during the diagnosis, Lu Yuan did not say this clearly. King Yan asked Lu Yuan to lose weight for the prince, so Lu Yuan just took care of all these.

Since Lu Yuan decided to diagnose Gu Gaochi, he must be responsible to the end.

In fact, excessive obesity is also a disease.

Today, Lu Yuan looked through "Alchemy" and got an idea.

As long as two human-grade elixirs are taken, one in the morning and one in the evening, Gu Gaochi's underlying disease can be cured.

This human-grade middle-grade elixir to treat Gu Gaochi requires medicinal materials such as Eucommia ulmoides, Nocturna vine, Gardenia, Xingling grass, etc.

Lu Yuan walked out of the study.

"Master!" A maid bowed.

"Why didn't you teach Madam how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting today?" Lu Yuan said looking at the maid.

This maid had been standing outside the room for half a day, and Lu Yuan had long sensed it.

This maid was motionless outside the study, but she could stand still. The maid said: "Master, there are other sisters teaching my wife today. We are waiting outside. We are afraid that no one will be outside when the master orders us."

These maids are quite considerate.

Lu Yuan said: "There is really something I need you to do."

"Master, just give me your orders." The maid kept her head lowered and did not look at Lu Yuan.

"This is the list of herbal medicines. Can you go to the pharmacy to get them?" Lu Yuan handed the list of herbal medicines he had just written to the maid's hand.

The maid quickly held it with both hands, unfolded the folded paper, took a look at it, and replied: "Master, except for the Star Spirit Grass, all other medicinal materials are sold in stores."

"Oh? You know the details. Why is this Star Spirit Grass not sold in the store?" Lu Yuan asked.

"I don't know what I know. This Star Spirit Grass is a special product of Yandu. It is only grown in the mountains to the north. It grows when it is young and withers when it is ugly. Even if it is picked, it can only be kept for one day."

The maid is a native of Yandu, and she must have heard of this magical plant.

This Star Spirit Grass is 99%, a rare thing.

If the emperor wanted to get some Star Spirit Grass, he would have to come to Yandu himself.

This 800-mile rush will not deliver it to the imperial capital within one day.

"I see. Then go buy other herbs. Leave this Star Spirit Grass to us." Lu Yuan took out a piece of silver and gave it to the maid.

"Okay, sir." The maid took the money again and went out.

Lu Yuan walked to the side room and shouted through the door: "Brothers, come with us."

Hearing Lu Yuan's voice, several cronies hurriedly opened the door and ran out. They said with a smile: "Young nephew, we don't dare to take it seriously. If you have anything to do, you can give me your orders."

"I've given you a few days off to rest, so you should have a good rest, but I'm busy now." Lu Yuan said.

"Young nephew, no matter what you say, I will go up the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire without hesitation!" A confidant said, patting his chest.

"It's not like that. You guys get ready. We will go up the mountain to collect herbs later. We will stay all night. Everything is ready. We don't want to be thirsty, hungry and cold digging herbs with our bare hands in the middle of the night." Lu Yuan can do it himself. I said everything that came to mind.

Half an hour later, Lu Yuan stood in the yard, waiting for his cronies.

The eight henchmen I saw were carrying large and small bags, including hemp rope, food, cotton clothes, water, grappling hooks, baskets and other supplies.

Lu Yuan was very pleased after seeing it and said, "Who said we men are doing rough work? We are not well prepared for this."

Lu Yuan praised and turned over the baggage in the hands of his cronies.

"This is?" Lu Yuan was confused.

"My nephew, these are the assembly parts of the mortar." A close confidant said with his head held high.

"Master nephew, wait for me." I saw a henchman running from the back room with several spears on his back and several swords on his waist.

The confidant ran up to the crowd, panting, and said, "Young nephew, look, we were well prepared, but they only prepared one mortar."

"You, what are you doing? What are you doing with these things? It's not like going to war." Lu Yuan said in surprise.

"Young nephew, we brought this from the car specially. It's not peaceful on this mountain at night. There are monsters and monsters running around. How can we do it without something for self-defense." The confidant calmed down. Xu said.

Lu Yuan pinched his chin, thinking about it, this person is unfamiliar with this place, so he can't throw away his self-defense weapons.

"In that case, just bring it with you. There is no need for so many people. Just grab your things and the four of you can follow us." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he turned and walked out the door.

All the cronies looked at each other in confusion, then selected four people who were highly skilled in martial arts, picked up the large and small baggage they had prepared, and followed Lu Yuan.

"Brother, where are you going?" Su Liyan suddenly appeared behind everyone.

Su Liyan could see what Lu Yuan and his cronies were doing half an hour ago.

Sometimes, just like this, both Lu Yuan and Su Liyan have the ability to sense everything happening within a few hundred meters around them.

As long as you are willing, you can sense what the neighbors Uncle Wang and Aunt Liu are doing in the middle of the night.

"Hey, wife, as you already know, let's go to the mountain to find some medicinal materials and return tomorrow morning." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Brother, if you don't come back tonight, you won't even tell us in person." Su Liyan pretended to be angry and turned her head to the side.

Lu Yuan stepped forward and gave him a kiss in front of his confidants, "My dear, I will come back tomorrow morning to bring you Mr. Wu's cooking cakes and tofu pudding."

"Okay, brother." Su Liyan put on the cloak she had been holding on Lu Yuan herself, "It's cold, and there's a lot of dew in the night. Don't get your clothes wet or catch a cold."

Lu Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm ready."

Seeing this scene, all the cronies felt a little like their mother-in-law at home.

After Lu Yuan said goodbye to his wife, he went out and walked north of Yandu.

To the north of Yandu, there is only one mountain.

Lu Yuan went hiking with four of his cronies. The maid said that the place where the Star Spirit Grass grows has no rules, and whether it can be picked depends on luck.

When Lu Yuan and others arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was not yet 18 o'clock and it was getting dark. There was no sunset in sight, only a faint blush on the tip of the west hillside.

Lu Yuan and four of his cronies found an open space at the foot of the mountain.

A few people were sitting on the stone. The pancakes were smeared with sauce and wrapped with shredded pickles and green onions. Each person took a roll and crunched it down.

The pancakes are rolled with green onions and are really delicious.

This pancake is so hard and thin that you can only bite it with your back molars, but not your front teeth, as it can easily break your front teeth.

Lu Yuan chewed the pancakes and said, "In a while, let's finish eating, drink some water, take a short rest, and then walk along the path in front of us."

"Okay, young nephew." All the cronies replied.

Lu Yuan still has experience. You can't pick herbs if you go up the mountain on the main road. On the contrary, there are a few herbs growing on the side of the road.

This is all the valuable experience Lu Yuan gained when he was a child, following his mother up the mountain to dig shepherd's purse and bitter cabbage seeds.

After dark, Lu Yuan had two cronies in front and two cronies behind him.

Each confidant will carry a spiritual stone lamp in his hand, which is extremely powerful and can see everything around him clearly.

Before it was time, Lu Yuan would ask his trusted aides to pick any good herbs he came across along the way and put them in the basket behind his back.

You’ve come, you can’t let it go to waste.

Lu Yuan and others arrived halfway up the mountain.

At this time, there is still an hour and a half before midnight.

Lu Yuan decided to start climbing from the mountainside to the top of the mountain as soon as midnight arrived. There would be an hour for Lu Yuan and others to search for herbs.

Lu Yuan immediately decided: "Put up two tents, let's squeeze in together, have a good rest and sleep, and set off at midnight."

"Master nephew, should we arrange for someone to keep vigil overnight?" a confidant asked.

"Watch? What kind of night are you keeping? Let's place talismans around us in a while and form a formation. No one can get close to anything." Lu Yuan said as he threw the talismans around and sprinkled some sulfur.

The sulfur was leftover from the last time I dealt with the long snake.

"Okay, everything is done, let's get into the tent and sleep."

"Okay, young nephew!" (End of chapter)
