The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 33, Damage
"Brother Yu, can you still bring in a partner?"

Hua Changxi thought about it. Although Yu Hui was in charge of the warehouse and did not mind discarding the medicinal materials, it might be okay if he misappropriated some of them once or twice, but if he did it too many times, he would probably be discovered.

It would be fine if this kind of thing is not discovered, but once it is discovered, it will definitely be dealt with.

Upon hearing this, Yu Hui quickly said, "Sister Changxi, the fewer people who know about this, the better. How can we let other people know about it?"

Hua Changxi: "Brother Yu, what I mean is that we'd better find a way out of the misappropriation of discarded medicinal materials."

Yu Hui was speechless: "Sister Changxi, why are you so naive? How can such a thing be possible?"

Hua Changxi: "How is it impossible? Didn't you say that many inferior elixirs out there are made from discarded medicinal materials? The price of medicine for warriors is very high. You don't need to think about it to know that there must be a lot of profit in it. Isn't there anyone in the warehouse who wants to get a piece of the pie?"

Yu Hui: "What's the use of thinking about it? I've already said that the merchants who come to collect the discarded medicinal materials are appointed by the higher-ups, and they have noble people backing them up."

"Although these are all discarded medicinal materials, how to distribute them is not decided by the warehouse."

Hua Changxi pondered for a while, then asked, "Brother Yu, who has the most power in the warehouse?"

Yu Hui: "Of course it's my godfather, Eunuch Yu."

Hua Changxi's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What kind of person is Eunuch Yu?"

Yu Hui: "What do you want to do?"

Hua Changxi: "I want you to tell Eunuch Yu that I can use discarded medicinal materials to make elixirs."

Yu Hui didn't say anything and looked a little hesitant.

Hua Changxi saw this and explained to him carefully: "Brother Yu, think about it carefully. Discarded medicinal materials cannot be taken out. If only you and I work together in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, the first problem we have to face is where to refine the medicine. Can you find a place for me to refine the medicine?"

Yu Hui frowned and pursed his lips tightly.

Hua Changxi continued: "I believe that Brother Yu's control over Warehouse No. 5 will allow him to embezzle medicinal materials without being discovered. However, you are only in charge of one warehouse, and the types of medicinal materials you can find that can be used from the discarded medicinal materials are limited."

"Eunuch Yu is different. He manages all the warehouses and can mobilize all the discarded medicinal materials. With him, we will get more types of medicinal materials, and I will be able to refine more types of pills."

"Also, with Eunuch Yu standing in front, even if someone discovers that the discarded medicinal materials have been misappropriated, I guess no one would dare to say anything."

"Brother Yu, what do you think?"

Yu Hui was silent for a while, then looked at Hua Changxi and said, "Sister Changxi, if my godfather gets involved in this matter, our 50-50 profit split will no longer count."

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Hua Changxi immediately said with a smile, "How about this? Eunuch Yu takes 40%, and you and I each take 30%."

Yu Hui looked at the 'innocent' Hua Changxi and said, "Sister Changxi, have you ever thought about this? If my godfather doesn't want to divide it this way, and wants to take the lion's share, for example, he takes 80%, and you and I each take 10%; or, if he wants to take it all and only give you a little hard work fee, what will you do?"

Hua Changxi was of course not going to do it: "Eunuch Yu is so greedy?" Seeing that Yu Hui didn't say anything, he immediately said, "Then forget what I just said to you."

Yu Hui explained, "My godfather had a small position in the inner court before, but unfortunately he was involved in a fight among the nobles, and all his life savings were confiscated."

"Even if it was later proven that my godfather was wrongly accused, the wealth he had accumulated was not returned. After he was sent to look after the storehouse, he desperately tried to get the money."

"As the manager of Warehouse No. 5, I gave him all the monthly tribute money from my subordinates without leaving a single cent."

Yu Hui looked at Hua Changxi and said, "You can use discarded medicinal materials to refine warrior elixirs. My godfather must be tempted to hear that. But I have no idea how to share the profits."

Hua Changxi was a little undecided at this time. She had obtained the Yuanling grass before, and she had refined it in the cafeteria of the sixth bureau.

Although she has a pretty good relationship with the people in the cafeteria now, if she refines medicine more often, it will definitely attract attention.

"Brother Yu, I live in a large bunk bed. Can you find a place for me to make medicine?"

Yu Hui also found this matter a bit tricky. He lived in a single room, but it was definitely not acceptable to have the smell of medicine coming from the room all the time.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Hua Changxi knew that he had no choice. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Brother Yu, is Eunuch Yu the kind of person who would turn his back on you?"

Yu Hui didn't quite understand what Hua Changxi meant.

Hua Changxi: "That's right, you go tell Eunuch Yu that I will use the discarded herbs to make medicine, and I will discuss with him how to divide the profits later."

"I just want to know, if we fail to reach an agreement, will he hate me and take revenge on me and kick me out of the errand hall?"

Yu Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "My godfather is quite magnanimous and treats his own people well."

"One of our own?"

Hua Changxi thought to herself that she was obviously not one of Eunuch Yu's close friends.

"Brother Yu, let's forget it."

Although Hua Changxi really wanted to promote this cooperation, she still showed an attitude of wanting to back out.

Yu Hui and she were friends, but their friendship was not solid.

For Yu Hui, Eunuch Yu is definitely more important.

If the cooperation really comes to fruition and Eunuch Yu also gets involved, then Yu Hui will definitely be on his side.

She couldn't be too active now. Who knew if Yu Hui would stand on the same side with Eunuch Yu and exploit her interests together.

Yu Hui was anxious: "Don't forget it."

Hua Changxi: "Brother Yu, you know my personality. I will definitely not work for nothing. Rather than offending Father-in-law Yu because of a failure to reach an agreement on profit sharing, I might as well not do it in the first place."

Having said that, he turned around and checked the medicinal materials in the warehouse.

Seeing her like this, Yu Hui paced back and forth a few times and ran to Hua Changxi: "I'll talk to my godfather. Even if it doesn't work out, I will never let you down."

Hua Changxi's eyes flashed with joy, but he said verbally: "Brother Yu, why don't you just forget it? What if you offend Eunuch Yu because of this?"

Yu Hui waved his hand, as if telling Hua Changxi not to worry.

On the third day after chatting with Yu Hui about collaborating in refining medicine, Hua Changxi was stopped by a young eunuch when he went to get the herbs.

"Eunuch Yu wants to see you, come with us."

The young eunuch said in a tone that no room for negotiation and turned away without waiting for Hua Changxi's response.

Hua Changxi looked at the eunuch's back, was silent for a moment, and finally followed him quickly.

After passing through most of the servants' hall, Hua Changxi followed the eunuch to a courtyard in the northwest corner of the warehouse.

On the steps leading to the upper house in the courtyard, a middle-aged eunuch with no white beard sat in a recliner, drinking tea slowly. Behind him on the right stood Yu Hui, who looked a little nervous and apprehensive.

The young eunuch brought Hua Changxi into the yard and pointed to a pile of discarded medicinal herbs in the yard and said, "This is part of the discarded medicinal herbs from yesterday. Find the usable ones from them. There are medicinal tools for refining medicine over there. Make a few pills for the eunuch to see."

Hua Changxi did not move and glanced at Eunuch Yu on the steps. He seemed to have no interest in her at all. Except for a glance at her when she came in, he never looked at her again.

She didn't ask who she was, or why she could make medicine, she just gave orders and instructions. This was the difference in power, whether you were willing or not, she just had to obey.

Hua Changxi never forgot that one of her original intentions of joining the Medical Department was to improve her medical skills. By chance, she had her head filled with medical knowledge, but she was unfamiliar with the actual practice.

She didn't have the money to buy large quantities of medicinal herbs for the practice, so these discarded herbs became the most accessible resources for her at this stage.

"Hurry up, my father-in-law is waiting to see."

Seeing Hua Changxi standing still, the young eunuch urged him impatiently.

Hua Changxi wanted to promote cooperation, so even though he felt uncomfortable, he still lowered his head and estimated the pile of discarded medicinal materials. There were at least five or six trucks.

Before, she had to hide when she wanted to take a few dried herbs, but others brought so many and placed them directly in the yard. This is the difference between having power and having no power.

Hua Changxi knew that only if he demonstrated the corresponding medicine refining skills would the eunuch Yu talk to him, so he let go and started picking.

On the steps, Eunuch Yu seemed careless, but in fact he was paying attention to Hua Changxi's every move.

This little girl dared to look at him so carelessly. She was indeed quite courageous, just as Yu Hui said.

However, he didn't care about the girl's temperament. What he cared about was whether this girl could really refine elixirs for warriors?

After Hua Changxi started picking out medicinal herbs from the pile of discarded herbs, Eunuch Yu began to pay close attention.

However, when Eunuch Yu saw the medicinal herbs that Hua Changxi picked out, his brows furrowed more and more.

He himself is a seventh-rank warrior. Although he cannot make medicine, he still knows the recipes of elixirs commonly used by warriors.

The medicinal herbs picked out by the little girl were obviously not any of the ones he knew.

Eunuch Yu glanced at his godson behind him, and seeing his forehead covered in cold sweat, he felt a little disgusted. This godson had good sense, but not much courage.

At least one third of the discarded medicinal herbs still have medicinal effects. Hua Changxi did not select many, and only picked up the herbs for refining Qi and Blood Pills, Body Tempering Pills, and Foundation Strengthening Pills.

In fact, she didn't know the specific prescription for the warrior elixir sold in the market, but she could prepare a corresponding prescription based on the detailed explanation of the medicinal properties in "Bai Cao Jing Zhu".

Eunuch Yu's expression became serious after Hua Changxi started to process the medicinal materials.

Hua Changxi was very skilled in handling medicinal materials, from cleaning, soaking, grinding, mixing the medicine, rolling it into pills, and finally baking it over a low fire on the stove, every step was done just right.

Eunuch Yu had been in the pharmaceutical company for several years. He knew many pharmacists and had seen them making medicines with his own eyes. However, none of the pharmacists made medicines as smoothly and naturally as the little girl in front of him.

The most important thing is that the types of medicinal materials she used to refine the pills were too few.

Smelling the medicinal aroma wafting in the yard, Eunuch Yu had already guessed that the three kinds of pills refined by Hua Changxi were Qi and Blood Pill, Body Tempering Pill and Foundation Strengthening Pill.

It just so happened that he knew the recipes for these three kinds of pills, and what he knew were the general formulas of the Medical Bureau.

The formula for the Qi and Blood Pill used by first-grade warriors to strengthen their Qi and blood requires twelve kinds of medicinal herbs, but the girl in front of him only used three kinds of medicinal herbs.

As for the Body Tempering Pill, for warriors below the third rank, the more body tempering pills the better. The Medical Bureau's formula requires more than fifty kinds of medicinal materials, but the little girl only used eight.

As for the healing elixir that is useful to all warriors, the recipe of the Medical Bureau requires more than twenty kinds of medicinal materials, but the little girl only used five.

Eunuch Yu couldn't wait to walk to the stove, and without caring that the pill had not been refined yet, he reached out and took a Qi and Blood Pill and put it in his mouth.

The effect of the elixir was better than my father-in-law expected.

Eunuch Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Hua Changxi, his eyes shining with golden light. In his eyes, Hua Changxi at this moment was like a shining gold ingot.

"We agree with what Yu Hui said, but we will only give you 10% of the profit."

Hua Changxi looked straight at him: "40% is my bottom line."

Eunuch Yu laughed loudly, then stopped smiling and looked at Hua Changxi gloomily: "Are you qualified to bargain with us?"

Hua Changxi's expression remained unchanged: "Then you can find someone else to help you make the medicine." After saying that, he was about to leave.

When Yu Hui, who was standing by, saw this, his face changed drastically. He ran to pull Hua Changxi, but just as he reached Hua Changxi's arm, he fell to his knees with a plop.

Hua Changxi was shocked when he saw this: "Brother Yu, even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have our friendship. You don't need to kneel to me."

Did Yu Hui want to kneel? No, at this moment, Yu Hui just felt that there was a force like a mountain pressing down on him, and he had no choice but to kneel.

Yu Hui knew that his godfather was mobilizing his inner strength to force sister Changxi to agree, but the radiation range of his inner strength was too wide and affected him.

What he couldn't understand was that he was already kneeling on the ground, but why didn't Sister Changxi react at all?

Hua Changxi saw beads of sweat the size of beans visibly oozing out of Yu Hui's forehead, which gathered into streams and flowed down his cheeks. She immediately sensed something was wrong and looked up at Eunuch Yu.

Upon looking up, he found that the young eunuch who had brought him here was also kneeling on the ground.

And the way Eunuch Yu looked at him was very strange.

Hua Changxi blinked, and stared at Eunuch Yu for a while, as if they understood something.

At this time, Eunuch Yu moved and suddenly attacked Hua Changxi.

In the eyes of Yu Hui and the young eunuch, Eunuch Yu's fist was fast and powerful, but in the eyes of Hua Changxi, Eunuch Yu's fist was approaching him slowly like a snail crawling.

Hua Changxi raised his right hand and used his thumb, index finger and middle finger to easily clasp Eunuch Yu's wrist as if he was holding a pen.

After learning the Lingbo Weibu, she spent a lot of time studying "Wuzhi Mountain".

The Five Finger Mountain technique is very powerful, combining the attacking methods of palm, fist, finger and claw.

Seeing that Eunuch Yu's hand was unable to move at all between his three fingers, Hua Changxi curled the corners of his mouth, very satisfied with the power of the Five Finger Mountain.

Hua Changxi was secretly happy, but Eunuch Yu's heart was in turmoil and fear appeared in his eyes.

"You are a warrior?"

Moreover, his martial arts skills are even better than his.

Hua Changxi shook off Eunuch Yu's wrist, and after Eunuch Yu stepped back a few steps to stand firm, he said, "It's fine if we can't cooperate, but why does Eunuch Yu still want to hurt others?"

Eunuch Yu suppressed his shock and forced a smile: "Miss Hua, you have misunderstood. Yu Hui is my godson, and you are his friend. Our family will not embarrass you just for his sake."

"It's up to you. From now on, our family will provide the discarded medicinal materials and this yard for refining medicine. You will be responsible for refining the medicine. The refined pills will be divided 40% and 60% between you and me. The remaining 20% ​​will be given to Yu Hui."

Hua Changxi was excited, he actually got 10% more than expected!
She just said 40% because she was waiting for Eunuch Yu to bargain with her.

Hua Changxi suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at Eunuch Yu with a smile: "Okay, let's do as Eunuch Yu said. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Sure enough, it is not enough for people to have only skills, they also need strong military force.
