Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the Battle of Baima Mountain, Xixia was defeated and the Baima Mountain camp collapsed. Yeli Huaide was still smart and did not dare to fight against the Ming army. Instead, he ordered his Yeli family cavalry to prepare early and found a good opportunity to break the siege.  He went out and led most of the Yeli family's cavalry across the Baihe River.

    When accountability was being held after the war, the court was in chaos, with different opinions on the cause of the defeat and no consensus.  Yeli Wangrong, deputy envoy to the Privy Council, and Gao Huaien, the governor in charge of Xingqing, pointed their finger at Li Liangfu, the commander-in-chief of the Shun Supervisory Army Division in the right chamber, saying that he had embezzled the military pay and grain that should have been sent to Baima Mountain, which had damaged the morale of the military.  Unstable, morale wavered.

    The Li brothers firmly denied it. Because the Baima Mountain camp was captured by the Ming army, all documents and materials could not be verified, so no ironclad evidence could be found for a while.  Later, Li Liangfu's brother, Li Zhizhong, who was the Minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China at that time and has now been promoted to the official position of the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, ordered Wu Huawen, the commander of the left wing of the Baimaqiang Town Supervisory Army Division, to expose the truth on the book, saying that it was Ye Li Huaide who was at the critical moment of the war.  He led his army to escape before the battle, resulting in the defeat of the army. Yingzhi beheaded him to thank the world.

    Wu Huawen was the chief general guarding the Baihe natural danger. He was nearby when the army was defeated. His memorial was very convincing. The leader of the country, Li Qianshun, was furious and immediately had Ye Li Huaidesuo imprisoned.

    Fortunately, although Empress Dowager Gao still controlled the young king, her prestige was still there. She stepped in to protect Ye Lihuaide, and the king did not dare to force her.  Under the mediation of Empress Dowager Gao, the Yeli family agreed to reduce the number of troops by half and hand over 2,000 tribesmen to the Tuoba family, the Li family, the leader of the country. Yeli Huaide was released from prison and sentenced to death as a guilty person.  Not allowed to reenter military service.

    The Yeli family was an ally of the Gao family, and the Gao family was anxious if something happened. Therefore, Gao Yanei couldn't help urging him: "If the Chengdong family has any good ideas, tell them quickly. If the young marquis can be freed from his crime,  , better than anything else.¡±

    Cheng'an said: "The reason why we were unable to bring down the brothers Li Zhizhong and Li Liangfu before was because they lost the Baima Mountain camp, and all the delivery documents and files for military pay, grain, and baggage were lost, so there is no evidence. But can we think of a way?  , How about checking from the Ming Dynasty? The camp was captured by the Ming army. I wonder if the Ming army captured these documents? "

    Gao Yanei's eyes lit up: "What does Chengdong's family mean by asking Taoist Zhao for help?"

    Cheng'an said: "Back then, Li Liangfu used military pay to speculate on snow lotus and lost hundreds of thousands of silver. The person in charge of transferring grain to Xingqing was Li Zhizhong's prot¨¦g¨¦ - Jiang Chengbang, deputy envoy of the third division branch. I don't believe there is no problem.  !¡±

    Yeli Huaide said happily: "If we can get the documentary evidence of the handover of military pay, food and fodder, the two thieves from the Li family will have to carry it around!" After thinking about it, he said: "What if there is still no one? I remember breaking out of the encirclement that year.  At that moment, flames shot into the sky in the direction of the camp"

    Cheng An smiled and said, "Do you know where Director Zhao will serve next?"

    "where?"

    "Hongyuan, as the abbot of Baima Taoist Temple, is in charge of the three tribes of Baima! The Yamen, Xiaohou Ye, and Li Shi have deducted food and salary, so the army of Baima Mountain has disturbed the place a lot. I think this is the main reason for the rebellion of the three tribes of Baima!"

    Gao Yanei clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! As expected of the Chengdong family! The Chengdong family and Daozhang Zhao have even become friends, so why should the Chengdong family tell Daozhang Zhao? If Daozhang Zhao has any conditions, you can put them forward, and we will do our best to satisfy them!"

    Cheng An shook his head: "It's hard for me to say."

    Gao Yanei asked: "Isn't the Chengdong family a close friend of Daozhang Zhao? It's hard for you to speak, and who can persuade Daozhang Zhao?"

    Cheng An smiled bitterly and said: "I am now in a place of suspicion. Tianlongyuan is watching me very closely. You have all seen it in the past few days. Mingjue and Xingzhen are always around Daozhang Zhao. How can I have a chance to talk to him alone?"  This matter? Even though Mingjue and Xingzhen usually have some bad relations with me, this matter is too important. If I really do something strange, it will definitely make things difficult for them. So I have to find a way to pass this on.  , find an opportunity to ask Taoist Master Zhao alone."

    Gao Yanei and Yeli Huaide both nodded and thought about it as they walked.

    Not long after, the three of them arrived at the residence of the abbot, Master Long Yang. After meeting Zhao Ran, there was a lot of excitement again.

    With Cheng An¡¯s reminder, the two men¡¯s attitude toward Zhao Ran today was different from the last time at the Jinbo Club. They were more eager to make friends.

    After staying in Longyang¡¯s small courtyard for a long time, everyone accompanied Zhao Ran to Tianma Pharmaceutical Factory, which is also on Cuiming Mountain.

    Tianma Pharmaceutical Factory is also located on the hillside of Cuiming Mountain, next to Tianmatai Temple, separated only by a piece of grass dozens of feet wide.  The reason why he came to visit this place was because Zhao Ran wanted to "get the goods" directly from Tianma Pharmaceutical Factory.

    The prices of Tianma Pharmaceutical¡¯s most profitable Zhuangshen Dan and Huodu Pills remain high in Daming, with prices nearly twice as high as those in Xingqing. The prices of the two drugs on the market in Xingqing are even higher than those of Tianma Pharmaceutical."Ex-factory price" is half higher.

    Zhao Ran has been trying to set up his own "Junshan Pharmaceutical", but it is not possible yet. Although he has the formulas for two patent medicines, he does not have enough talents to refine two elixirs that can be affordable for ordinary people.  There are not just one or two monks needed. There are dozens of monks in Tianmatai Temple and Jialan Temple who devote themselves to it all year round.

    ¡°As for Zhao Ran, the only one she can use so far is Archmage Guo Zhiwei. As for rabbits, her ability is limited to growing medicine.  Although Fairy Toad Palace is very interested in refining elixirs, that is something to talk about later, and besides, none of her subordinates have developed spiritual wisdom.

    Before the establishment of Junshan Pharmaceutical, it was still possible to import elixirs from Xixia. Zhao Ran planned to take part of the price difference in his hands. Building Hongyuan requires a lot of money.  Therefore, taking the medicine directly from Tianma Pharmaceutical and then transferring it to Yuanzhou Prefecture is a temporary way to make money.

    People were coming and going in Tianma Pharmacy. More than ten practicing monks and more than twenty ordinary monks were busy inside.  Zhao Ran checked the "Medicine Selection Hall", "Medicine Dispensing Hall", "Medicine Refining Hall", "Prepared Medicine Hall", etc. one by one. He expressed satisfaction with the orderly work of the monks and the clean and tidy environment, and then sat down to discuss annual discussions.  Price and quantity for pickup.

    "How many strengthening pills and fire poison pills can your temple refine every year?"

    The monk Xuan Tan replied: "No more than 10,000 pills of Zhuangshen Pills are taken every year, and 20,000 pills of Fire Poison Pills are taken every year."

    "How much can you give me every year?"

    Xuantan thought for a while and said: "Thirty bottles of Strengthening Pills and fifty bottles of Fire Poison Pills."

    Thirty bottles and fifty bottles, each bottle has thirty pills, that is nine hundred pills and one thousand five hundred pills.  Zhao Ran was not satisfied with this quantity. He knew that Tianma Pharmaceutical had limited production in order to maintain drug prices, and the actual production capacity was more than this number.  There are not that many people in the Xixia Kingdom who can afford these two medicines. This number is almost just right. But now that three years have passed, it stands to reason that larger channels should have been opened up. Tubo, Beiyuan, and the Buddhist countries in the Western Regions,  Even sold to Ming Dynasty privately, how can this output be enough?

    Zhao Ran shook his head: "It's too little. I need more, at least twice as much."

    Xuan Tan was in a dilemma: "It really can't be made."

    Zhao Ranqi asked: "Why is this?"
