Chapter 1899: Grade 4 Medicinal Pills

I don't know how far it is from Tuoba's base here. Li Cong just stopped 30 meters in the air. There is no place to land directly here. Fortunately, these people in Tuoba's are not idiots , They also all have their own abilities, they can definitely jump from this height without hurting themselves, such a thing is very simple for them.

What is different from the expressions on the faces of these people is Li Cong's expression. Li Cong can be said to be very sad at the moment, and he was put on by these guys. As far as pulling out the original leaf, it is also very difficult for others. Such a big family is now not even one-tenth of its original strength. This must be a catastrophe, they can't take risks, and they absolutely can't take risks.

"Master, do you want us to follow them? In the Warcraft Mountains, our airship can go wherever it wants to go. As long as they are such a big target, we can track them, then there is no problem." Long said.

"Hmph, they don't want us to know that there will be their way. If we really follow them, maybe this little friendship will be lost. Since they don't want to, why should we force it? Forget it." Li Cong said, Li Cong would not do such a despicable thing. At the beginning, Li Cong thought about gradually controlling them through this, but he is not a fool. Now that he has been seen through, it seems that there is no need to continue I followed others, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

"Master, Mr. Tuoba Yuanye is here." An attendant behind Li Cong said, didn't this guy leave long ago?

"Mr. Tuoba, if I remember correctly, you have already gone down just now, what are you doing back now? See how ugly my face is? You don't seem so bored." Li Cong said at the moment I can't control myself anymore, I can say that I have done a lot for the Tuoba family, but I didn't expect that people still didn't believe me in the end. No matter how good your reasons are, you have always betrayed yourself. If you really know the ending, Li Cong will never help them.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cao, I can't stop the family's decision, but I feel really sorry for you. I know you have a master who is a pharmacist, and this is a prescription for a fourth-grade elixir. Treat it as I personally compensated you, and I know that this may not mean anything, but it is my heart, and I hope you accept it." After speaking, this guy jumped directly, and he used to be a ninth-level fighter. Height is naturally not a problem for him. To be honest, Li Cong feels that this guy is still very good, although he hasn't known him for a long time. But to be honest, this guy's contact with Li Cong made Li Cong feel very happy.

The captain delivered the prescription to Li Cong. He is not a pharmacist, so he naturally couldn't understand what it meant. This is a fourth-grade elixir, and the release of each fourth-grade elixir is very important. It can be said that the fourth-grade elixir can definitely make people at the level of a ninth-level fighter crazy, and this fourth-grade elixir is also very difficult to refine. There are only so many alchemists in the world, and there will never be more than five of these fourth-rank alchemists.

Li Cong's current cultivation base can be said to have arrived, but Li Cong has not yet successfully refined a fourth-grade elixir, so he cannot be said to be an official fourth-grade pharmacist, but an amateur.

A very important reason why Li Cong didn't start refining the fourth-grade elixir was that there was no prescription. Other things can be obtained quickly, but this prescription is the most difficult. Everyone knows that the pharmacist is rich, so the prescriptions of the pharmacist are also very valuable. These things are only useful to the pharmacist. Therefore, the things used by the rich among the rich are naturally expensive.

The last time the prescription of the fourth-grade elixir appeared was five years ago at a private fair in the capital of the Eastern Empire. At that time, a prince of the Eastern Empire brought out this pharmacist's prescription, which was said to have sold for a sky-high price. Afterwards, the prince of the Eastern Empire formed his own cavalry regiment, with more than 100,000 cavalry troops. All of them need to be at the level of a third-level fighter. You must know that the whole body equipment of these people needs 500,000 taels of silver, not counting their own value. Counting the special war horses, the cost of each knight is more than one million taels of silver. Yes, this is probably part of what the prince got, not all of it, because if 100 billion silver can buy a four-grade prescription, anyone who can afford the money will probably buy it.

The fourth-grade elixir is also very valuable. In the history of the fourth-grade elixir, it will only appear publicly once in five or six years. It may also be because the level of these alchemists in history is not very high. It is very good to have one in a year. Of course Li Cong knows how precious this prescription is. Although a person cannot be measured by money, at least what Tuoba Yuanye did made Li Cong Cong felt a little relieved, at least not as angry as before.

The prescription in Li Cong's hand can be said to be a high-level fourth-grade elixir. This elixir cannot be regarded as a high-level among the fourth-grade elixir, but it is definitely the best in terms of sales, because his name It’s called Ten Years Pill, which means that taking this pill will make you feel like you’ve been cultivating for ten years. These ten years are definitely not discounted, but you practice without resting for a minute. Impossible, but for this pill, it is possible. Of course, he still has a defect that he cannot advance. Even if you eat a lot of pills, it is useless. You are an eighth-level fighter. He is an eighth-level fighter, but this does not reduce his value. Many people will go to great lengths to buy this thing.

Ten years of non-stop practice, if a normal person can achieve this level, it will take at least 50 years. It is very good for a person to devote 20% of his time to practice in a year. , the current market price of this thing is very expensive. Generally, when a pharmacist takes it out, you have to exchange it with a pair of medicine for refining this thing and a lot of other things. If you really want to use silver, The value of this thing exceeds 80 billion taels of silver, or even more, this is uncertain.

"Do we have these medicines in our warehouse?" Li Cong is not familiar with some medicinal materials in the warehouse. If he had known that he had obtained this thing, he would not have given these medicinal materials to Tuoba. There will definitely be those medicinal materials.

The captain next to him was originally in the medicinal material warehouse, and he was transferred only a few weeks ago. So I am still very familiar with the inventory, otherwise Li Cong would not have specifically asked this guy.

"Young master, these three medicinal herbs are extremely precious medicinal herbs. It is said that the Seven Star Grass can only be found in the depths of the frozen forest in the north. We have two of them in our warehouse. They were purchased by our trading house in the capital last year. I bought it when I bought it, and the purchase price at that time was as high as 1.2 billion silver. It was those two people who needed the money urgently to get it into our hands. As for the other Ji Danzhu, I'm sure there is no such thing. Our eighth-level magic core There are some in the warehouse." The captain said, these are the three materials for refining the ten-year pill, and Li Cong knows how expensive these materials are, since the Seven Star Grass costs more than one billion silver Well, this season's Danzhu will definitely not be cheap. Even the cheapest one of the eighth-level magic core costs more than one billion silver. The cost of this thing is at least four billion silver. No wonder a finished product is so expensive to sell. , but Li Cong is also very interested in this performance. What he wants most now is to eat one for himself. As for refining this thing for others, forget it, we are not in that mood.

"What is Ji Danzhu? Why doesn't such a big trading house like ours have this thing?" Now people are basically gone, so Li Cong has nothing to do. On the way back, Li Cong talked to the captain Let's talk about it.

"Young master. It is said that Ji Danzhu grows on a very high mountain. No one knows exactly where this thing is produced. It is just known that this thing is the material for refining high-grade elixir. Many alchemists need this thing. Well, more than ten years ago, the head of Bahrain under the Ministry of Internal Affairs got one, and it went to the palace. Since then, there have been few such news. There are people asking for four billion silver to buy it on the black market, but it has never been No one has ever sold it, and it is said that the value of this thing must be at least five billion silver." The captain told Li Cong all the news he knew, and it can be said that this thing can't be bought even if you have money. Yes, it all depends on your own chance, mainly because there are too few of these things. If there are many, you can still buy it.

Li Cong nodded, he is not in a hurry for this thing, just ask the people below to pay attention to it, Li Cong has spent so much money recently because he hopes that he can earn more, so as to save money when such a situation occurs in the future There is not enough silver, in fact, in Li Cong's eyes, these silvers are the most worthless things. Although those medicinal materials are not used by himself now, they may be used later.

Five hours later, Li Cong gathered several groups of people on the road to transport the Tuoba family. They had already put them down, and what they brought back were all the things that the Tuoba family had promised to Li Cong. There are also a lot of medicinal materials, but there are still no more than one billion medicinal materials. Li Cong just asked someone to check it as usual, and he never thought that there would be.

At the same time, Li Cong also got the news that all the Tuoba clan in the Western Empire had been killed. They didn't even persist for two days. In fact, this is also a normal thing. All the elites of the Tuoba clan They have already begun to retreat, they no longer have the heart to resist, all of them don't want to resist anymore, in their view, they are people who have been abandoned by the family, and they don't need to lose their own for the sake of the family People in dozens of counties have already opened the city gates to let the royal army come in. It's a pity that they have no brains at all. They think that the royal army can bypass them by opening the gates? Is this possible? There will be a day when the emperor pardons the world, and that is the crime of treason. It is absolutely heinous, and your whole family will be implicated. There are too many heads hanging on it.

Before the massacre in the city was over, the Prince Yulan sent by the emperor had already begun to carry out the emperor's order to sell all of these dozens of provinces, whether in the city or in the suburbs. Yes, whether it is cultivated land or mountain forests, as long as it is within these dozens of provinces, including the people, one counts as one, and all are sold, and those high-quality beauties and the like are not even considered. It is impossible to keep such a cheap price for you. According to incomplete statistics, since the beginning of the war, millions of beauties of all ethnic groups have been sent to the palace and the homes of big nobles everywhere. They are the biggest beneficiaries, including those who are arable and forest land, and they are also the first to buy.

Prince Yulan found a huge mansion in Hassan County as his office, and it used to be the home of a child of the Tuoba family. Covering an area of ​​more than 15,000 mu, it is definitely the most luxurious prescription in the entire city. Although some of the valuable things in the house are gone, the house still looks very beautiful from the outside, no matter the scale or the details, it can be seen that the owner here used to be a very happy person. The guy, but now everything here belongs to Prince Yulan.

Prince Yulan is the emperor's younger brother. Speaking of which, the age difference between the two is nearly seventy years old. Prince Yulan is also the pride of the royal family, because Prince Yulan himself is a magician. If Prince Yulan was born in an ordinary family, he might work very hard to become a very powerful magician by his own ability, but Prince Yulan was born in the royal family, so he is doomed to be a magician It doesn't take much effort to succeed, just like now, he relied on countless precious medicines to push himself to the realm of a fifth-level magician. Many magicians have seen Prince Yulan, and they all say that Prince Yulan is a rare genius magician in recent years, but they despise this guy in their hearts. The guy who doesn't know much about the principles of magic is really too much. Lost the face of the magician.

Prince Yulan doesn't care about these so-called rumors at all. Whatever you say, it's all your business. It's also your freedom, and I don't care too much about it. I just need to know that I am a fifth-level magician and a prince of the royal family. Relying on the emperor's favor, what Prince Yulan has done these years is really a bit too much. As if now. Prince Yulan, shirtless, made fun of the original women in this beautiful mansion in public.

There used to be quite a few beauties in this mansion. Although they ran away a lot, Prince Yulan still managed to get a lot of beauties from dozens of provinces these days, and now all of them have been transported here. , this guy is having a great time playing right now. Prince Yulan’s brain is not quite the same as that of a normal person. It’s normal for others to play with women. This guy is abusing women. Several of his followers I can't stand it anymore, such a beautiful woman is covered in blood after being played by Prince Yulan, basically it is impossible to tell that she is still a person.

"It's really useless. There's no blood on my body in half an hour. Hurry up and pull this out to feed my dog. It's so useless. I'll move on to the next one." The young Prince Yulan is a wind magician Master, what he just played was to use his own wind blade to create wounds on these girls' bodies, and then see how long they can hold on before draining the blood in their bodies. This guy can think of it, it is simply inhumane.

"What the lord said is that these women are really useless, and they can't hold on in such a short time, but lord, the manager of Cao's house has been waiting for you for a long time." One of Prince Yulan's eunuchs said, ordinarily Not to mention that Cao's House is in charge, even if Li Cong came in person, Prince Yulan might not meet him, but Bai Er is very good at handling affairs, and Prince Yulan himself is an idiot, and his affairs are all his business. It was arranged by the servants around me. Eunuchs like money the most. As long as the money is delivered by themselves, there is nothing that cannot be done. No, these eunuchs are now giving the Cao family The business said good things, and several other eunuchs also came over.

"The manager of the business house, is this king going to meet the manager of the company now?" Prince Yulan was obviously not very satisfied with this meeting, and he also knew that these attendants usually had a high level of vision. What's the matter, in this short period of time, everyone has changed their original temper? This is impossible, is there something wrong here?

"My lord, this Cao's firm is not a simple firm. Didn't you see those flying things last time? They have this thing. I heard that it takes more than ten days for that thing to reach our capital from here. Yes, it’s the same as flying. Their stewards come to you to do business. The servants can find out clearly. You said how stupid they are. They actually want to buy those deserts and Gobi deserts that don’t grow food. Those places are No one wants a gift, but they actually want to buy it, and they want to buy one billion mu, aren’t they fools?” Another servant said with a smile.

"Huh? This king has seen many strange things, but this is the first time I have encountered such a thing. I am really puzzled. What do they think? Could there be minerals down there?" Prince Yulan was just messing around. some. The basic knowledge of this brain is still there, and he doesn't believe that there will be so many fools in this world, and he just happened to meet him.

"No, although these provinces look a little desolate now, they were the most prosperous provinces in our empire in the past. If there are any minerals in those places, can we wait until now? Tuoba clan The people have already mined all the mines, and the servants have asked others, but there is nothing, and they don't know what they are doing. My lord, let's ignore their stupidity, the servants have seen it, they The gift sent is very valuable." The guy said with a smile, the prince naturally wants to get the big head, but they also need some travel expenses for those who are slaves.

"Oh? They really know how to find a place, what's the big way?" said Qian. This guy immediately became temperamental. Many magicians don't care much about money. They are short of money, but they will never regard money as their pursuit, but the magician in front of them is definitely an exception Yes, gold and silver treasures are his favorite.

"My lord. This is their gift list. Look at it. Didn't you have an emerald ring in the past? They sent a pair of them. These are nothing. Look at this jade coral. We didn’t have any of these things in the palace before. They got them all, but we have counted them all. If they are all converted into silver, at least this amount is about the same as our palace’s income for half a year. It can be said that it is not generous." The eunuch smiled and gestured, the prince was also happy, there are many people who flatter him, but there are not so many people who are so generous.

"My lord, do you think it's time to meet him?" The other servant started to beat the side drums. The cooperation of several people was really perfect, which is why Bai Er gave them enough money. At least one million silver per person, if there is no way to pave the way, do you want to ask these little devils to do things for you? Forget it then.

"Well, since they have such good filial piety, this matter will be handled like this. They are not bad one by one. Tell them to wait in the study in the front yard. I will go there after changing my clothes." Accepted He has so much money, so he should meet with him once. Although the status of businessmen is not very high, it has to be said that this society is prospered by them.

In the front yard, a eunuch walked towards Bai Er and the others with a sway. Bai Er was sent by Li Cong to meet Prince Yulan. In the upper echelon of the Southern Empire, none of them could give them The speaker, the reason why he gave such an expensive gift this time is actually to have a better relationship with them. In the future, if there is any disturbance, he can react quickly, and he doesn't have to be so passive. Li Cong likes it. What I want to do is to actively create things instead of passively accepting things. Apart from not liking these two things, the results I get are absolutely different.

"Officer Bai, our lord has already agreed to meet you in the living room, but we should pay attention when we talk later. Our lord is the younger brother of the current emperor, and he has been spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. If there is such a sentence that is inappropriate If you go in, our prince will be furious." The eunuch said coyly, how could Bai Er not know what this guy meant, in fact, they came to see Bai Er one by one, all for the money in Bai Er's second hand, In the past, they didn't look down on people like Bai Er. Although they were also slaves, their visions were very high. They all thought that they were the prince's slaves, that is, the legendary slaves of the palace. Even if there are some governors and governors in front of him, it's nothing, as if the prince also has a part of them.

"This is natural. The young ones know a little about these etiquettes, but the young ones are just grassroots after all. It was a great thing to meet a county magistrate before. This prince can be compared with our county magistrates." Grandfather is too different, if there is something inappropriate in a while, I still have to rely on my father-in-law to say a few good words, and I will bring this to my father-in-law for tea. If this meeting can be successful, I will be filial to my father-in-law in the future." Bai Two said and gave this guy a fist-sized platinum pendant. He is also a person who knows the goods, and he saw that the weight must be thirty taels, which is tens of thousands of taels of silver. You can get tens of thousands of silver with a few words, and such things happen here.

"This is natural. You can just say what you have to say later. We are here to help you. You just need to say what we want. The prince still trusts us." This guy said with a smile. Dealing with people like Bai Er is what they like the most. Not only can they get money, but they can also use the name of the prince to teach people like Bai Er a lesson. They have gained both physically and psychologically. Good thing, I'm very full.

Bai Er also flattered this kid, but he was unwilling in his heart, if it wasn't for the task the young master entrusted to him, damn it. I hang out with a stinky eunuch like you, and I don't even look at my own virtues. Back then, I killed my descendants all at once. This **** is not filial, and now I'm relying on this Well, it's still so honorable, it seems to be educating everyone in the world to be a eunuch. Damn it, even if you're starving to death, you can't have this idea. Seeing this guy in front of you squirm, Bai Er can't wait to give him a kick.

This house is really big, Bai Er followed the eunuch for half an hour. I just walked to the living room. Bai Er doesn't know what it was like in the past, but I just know that the way it looks like now is extremely luxurious. Any decoration in it can be said to be priceless, and this Prince Yulan is definitely a corrupt official. Otherwise, relying on his royal salary to furnish such a room would take him at least a year without food or drink. It doesn't look like he didn't eat or drink for a year, he must have been searched for by the people.

"Little Cao's House, Bai Er, please greet the prince." It's okay for Bai Er to say anything. In Bai Er's heart, the young master of his family is more powerful than the emperor. When he saw the young master of his family I'm not very nervous, do you get nervous when I see you? Naturally, the behavior is very normal, and nothing will happen. These servants know Bai Er better. When facing them, this kid is submissive, but when facing the prince, he seems to have nothing at all. With a timid look, it seems that the few of them really missed it in the past.

"Well, get up, Cao's House, although this is the first time I've heard your name, you probably weren't in our Western Empire before, this time you are willing to buy so much good land to support the royal family's military expenditure , you are considered filial, I have read all the things you sent, and they are all good. From now on, I will do your business honestly. If anyone who is not open-minded comes to ask for trouble, please come to me. I will not let them go..." Prince Yulan has said similar words countless times, there is not a single businessman affiliated with the palace, but there must be eight if not ten that give tribute to the palace every year , they are very attentive one by one, not for anything else, just for these few words of Prince Yulan. If so, at that time, spend some money to buy a servant of the palace to follow him to the government, let alone non-existent things, even if they are real things, he can turn these things into nothing.

After listening to a few words, Bai Er basically understood what was going on. The prince is telling you that no matter what it is, it has its own price. As long as it is the silver from me, you can supply it. Everything is possible, Bai Er naturally nodded to thank him, the prince said for a while that he was very satisfied with this guy's attitude, and when he finally came out, he even sent two beauties to Bai Er. It's been played before, and it's useless. No matter how powerful this kid is, he is still a steward of the Cao Family Chamber of Commerce. It is quite good to have such a woman to warm her bed.

Walking out of Prince Yulan's mansion, what Bai Er saw was the ruins of the entire city. This place has already been baptized by the flames of war. This city used to have a total population of more than four million. Apart from the rural ones, there are also There are nearly one million people, but now there are 200,000 people in the whole city, which is quite good. There is a musty smell everywhere in the whole city, which is nothing else. This is a human corpse. There are too many dead people. His Majesty the Emperor needs a large sum of money to restructure the current financial hole. The people who have gone to war are the best way for them to rob. They need money , The following is also needed, these officers and soldiers come to fight. Everyone above gave five taels of silver, and let them raise the rest of the money themselves. If you don't take these ordinary people under the knife, who will you turn to? Those wealthy households? Forget it, when they entered the city, they all gave gifts to the generals of these soldiers. If I went to the homes of these rich households, I guess their servants would beat me out immediately. Leave them alone.

Tens of millions of troops fought hard for several days and nights in dozens of provinces. This time the military expenditure was paid out, but there is also one point that all the people in these dozens of provinces have become refugees. To be honest It seems that they are not as good as the refugees, and the refugees can still have a little freedom. They didn't even have freedom. After they were robbed of everything, they left enough food for a day. They had to find a way to sell themselves during this day. If they could sell themselves, Then at least the second half of his life doesn't need to end so quickly, if you can't sell yourself. I'm sorry, maybe you can only eat your own meat in the next few days, and it is impossible to go out to eat bark, because in name, because of the Tuoba clan's rebellion, all of you They have all become slaves, and it is not allowed to go out to beg for food. You must eat here honestly, or wait to die. The emperor's order is so overbearing, and he also has his own considerations. If these people wander around, the ones affected may be his entire empire. When the entire empire becomes unsafe. That's when you're not safe.

These ordinary people are really miserable. They lived a very good life. After all, this is the most prosperous place in the Western Empire. From the day when the Tuoba clan rebelled, the Tuoba clan was in the area they ruled. A large number of young people began to be recruited into the army, and each of them could only reluctantly separate from their families. They didn't know why, so they became rebels in such a daze. The capital city was too far away for them For so many years, the master in their eyes seems to be the Tuoba family. Whoever their master tells them to fight, they can only passively fight. As for the rest, they don't know what to do at all. With that kind of thinking, their ending was quite tragic. After they were captured, they were all killed. After they died, their families became slaves.

Those whose families did not serve as soldiers may be happier than them. At least the family is still together now, but the things in the family have been robbed three or four times by these rebellious soldiers. There is really nothing in the house. No, no, the thousands of people in the west of the city really don't know what to do after being hungry for a day, and now they have got a very useful news, that is, there is a person who can "buy" them here, The price given by this person is still very good. Of course, the money from selling them will naturally not reach their own hands. In fact, there are many people who want to buy people. Unfortunately, many of them cannot enter the city. The main reason is Because those who can't afford this benefit fee, the price given by Prince Yulan is very high, almost equivalent to the worth of each of them. Those businessmen originally came to pick up cheap ones. Here, everyone who can come in has spent a lot of money, so they will choose carefully, and this time is no exception, they hope that these people will take a fancy to themselves, and then leave this place quickly A hell where people die every day. It used to be a beautiful city, but now it is a terrible hell. Many people die here every day. They are enduring hunger and have psychological trauma of one kind or another.

The Cao family has been unaware of it for a while. The news of the sale of slaves started as soon as the news came out. The person did not sell, and this Prince Yulan can be said to have helped a lot. If you don’t give money, you can’t give it too little. If you don’t give money, you can’t do it. After coming and going, less than 20% of the people in the whole area sold out, and most of the people were starved to death. Although the emperor knew about this, it was because the prince was his own younger brother. For the sake of it, I didn't care about such things. Who knew that this would help Li Cong a lot. If it weren't for Prince Preview's nonsense, these people wouldn't be able to get into his hands so quickly.

According to the price set by Prince Yulan, no matter who you choose, these people must pay five taels of silver each, and the price is the same for men and women. Bai Er has already bought nearly 300,000 slaves. Usually it looks like it is not small, but now it is nothing at all. Many people know that the desert area bought by the Cao family is also huge, and the Cao family needs more slaves. No, Bai Er uses a lot of slaves. Money knocked on Prince Yulan's door again. It's no problem for everyone to choose slaves, but you must choose after the Cao family has finished choosing. Why? Yes, you are right, your money and the Cao family’s money are both money, but the Cao family has to give 1 tael to the Wangfu in addition to 5 taels of silver for each person in the treasury. In addition, these people’s annual salary will be 10 taels Two taels of silver, out of the ten taels of silver, two taels will be handed over to the state treasury, and two taels will be handed over to the palace. Do you have this promise? Naturally, the treatment of the Cao family will be in the back row. Also, other merchants and big families will not say anything after knowing the treatment of the Cao family. After all, they cannot afford the money. .

Bai Er's goal is also very clear, that is to buy more than 500 million slaves. Unfortunately, there are not so many people now. Most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. These are not that big at all. How to deal with slaves like dogs, Bai Er is really a little worried. (To be continued.
