Chapter 5 Medicinal Materials
The one who rushed in front was Princess Jianning. She was dressed up with a man's makeup, with red lips and white teeth, and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. She looked like a thin and thin eunuch. Following her was Wei Xiaobao wearing a eunuch palace uniform.
"Brother, help me, someone is chasing me." Jianning ran in front, shouting while running.
"Don't run, stop, give it back to me."
Wei Xiaobao chased after him.
Yang Ming saw the "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra" in Jianning's hand at a glance, and felt relieved. He turned to Wei Xiaobao and shouted: "Stop, who are you?"
"It's not your business. Humph, don't be afraid of thinking that you have two people. Return the things to me quickly." Wei Xiaobao rolled up his sleeves and looked like a clamoring gangster on the street.
Yang Ming pretended not to know and said, "Jianning, which subordinate of this little eunuch is, why did you have a dispute with him?"
Princess Jianning hid behind Yang Ming and said coquettishly: "No, I just found out that he was stealing something in the palace of my mother's queen, and then I scolded him a lesson. This little eunuch is stupid and doesn't know you and me at all. He really fights when fighting. Isn't it very interesting?"
"Oh, is that true?" Yang Ming said: "Even if this is the case, you can't fight with a little eunuch, and become Heti Tong."
Princess Jianning made a face and didn't take it seriously. She said, "No, everyone in the palace is depressed. It's hard to find such an interesting little eunuch. Brother, please help me hit him."
Yang Ming said: "Okay, what is he stealing?"
Princess Jianning handed him the "Forty-Two Chapters of Sutra" and said, "It's just this, I'm so bored that I don't know what he stole it!"
Yang Ming held the scriptures in his hand. He immediately received a prompt from the system and then said, "Okay, I have made a breakthrough in my martial arts these days, so I will use him to practice my skills."
"Hey, that's mine, please return the scriptures to me." Wei Xiaobao shouted.
"If you want to, beat me. I will return the book to you." Yang Mingyangyang chuckled.
Wei Xiaobao said: "You are going to fight me. Don't say I bully you, my Jianghu people nicknamed Jade-faced Little Feilong, and few people dare to fight me."
Yang Ming said: "It's not that there is nothing wrong with it, so don't talk nonsense. If you defeat me, I will talk about it."
"Hehe, I'm going to do it..."
While speaking, he had already launched a sneak attack and used his eye-sucking skill as soon as he started.
Yang Ming was not hit by his incompetent tricks. He avoided him sideways, and then tripped under his feet, easily tripping him to the ground.
"This time, let's come again." Wei Xiaobao shouted.
"Okay, come again."
Yang Ming asked him to stand up and then put him down in the same way. He said, "Are you convinced this time?"
"I'm not full this time, so let's come back next time." Wei Xiaobao shouted stubbornly.
Yang Ming said: "It's the same when I come here a few more times. Hey... have we seen it somewhere?"
Wei Xiaobao said: "Many people say this. Don't think that if I say something soft, I will let you go. It's too late to get close to me now. Tell you, you will know that you are wrong if I come back to help. My master is so skilled in martial arts. If you sneeze, you will also make you bleed from seven holes."
There is no way to communicate normally with such people.
Yang Ming said: "Okay, the scriptures are here. I welcome you to find a place at any time."
Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, you wait. I'll come to find you tomorrow."
After saying that, he ran away casually.
Princess Jianning said angrily: "Brother, why did you let him go?"
Yang Ming said: "So what if you don't let him go? Jianning, your dignified Qing princess, can you still mess with a little eunuch?"
"I understand." Princess Jianning said in a depressed and honest manner.
...
There are treasurys and private treasuries in the royal family. The treasury is controlled by four auxiliary ministers, and it contains taxes and money saved by the entire Qing Dynasty. It is the treasury of the entire Qing Dynasty. The private treasury is a private treasury of the royal family, which mostly contains some tributes offered by various places and money earned from the royal business.
Although all the kings are under the world, public and private still have to be separated.
Yang Ming found the financial manager who managed the royal family's private warehouse and said, "How many years of medicinal materials are available in the royal warehouse?"
"yes."
The chief financial officer thought the emperor wanted to investigate the imperial depot, so he quickly asked someone to get a booklet and hand it over it, saying, "This is the imperial depot account book, please check it out."
Yang Ming opened the booklet, rolled his eyes casually, and frowned the more he looked at it, and said in a deep voice: "Why are there only these? Can you let me take those top-quality medicinal materials?"
"Your Majesty, it's unfair!" The chief financial officer knelt down with a "splash" and shouted: "Your Majesty, this is really not the business of the minister. There are really only these medicinal materials in the imperial depot."
Yang Ming said: "I want to see what you have to say."
The Financial Director: "When Shunzhi was there, there was still some savings in the imperial depot, but there were few tributes over the years, and they were unable to make ends meet, so they could only spend money on their own..."
Yang Ming frowned, calmed down and thought about it, and understood. In recent years, Obai relied on his military power and his power to cover up the sky. Most of his tributes were plundered by him every year, and there were few treasures in the warehouse. In addition, the royal family's food, clothing and expenses were used to feed the entire Forbidden Palace, so there were naturally fewer and fewer things in the royal treasure house.
"Okay, okay." Yang Ming waved his hand helplessly and said, "Let someone send all the medicinal materials that are more than 500 years old in the treasure house to my palace."
The royal treasure house sounds quite famous, but there are indeed not many top-quality medicinal materials in the treasure house, less than ten thousand-year-old elixirs, and only a hundred medicinal materials over five hundred years old. As for medicinal materials less than five hundred years old, there is no need to mention them, which is much less than he expected.
"Zhe." The financial manager wiped the cold sweat from his head, and his heart fell into his stomach.
In the evening, the Empress Dowager's maid came to report and said, "Emperor, the Empress Dowager invites you to Cining Palace."
Yang Ming followed the palace maid to Cining Palace, asked the Empress Dowager about his wishes, and said, "I wonder why the Empress Dowager invited the emperor to come here?"
The Queen Mother looked at Yang Ming and said, "How is the Emperor's injury heal?"
Yang Ming said: "The emperor's injury is not hindered, and the empress dowager is worried about it if she is done."
The Empress Dowager said: "I heard from the Ai family that the emperor took away all the medicinal materials from the imperial depot."
Yang Ming thought for a moment and said slowly: "This is true. The day before yesterday I was in the assassin's station, and I realized something in my heart and wanted to practice martial arts. But I have missed the best age to practice martial arts, and I can't spare time to practice martial arts diligently, so I want to use some medicinal materials to improve my internal strength."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "So that's the case, it's just three parts of medicine. Although using spiritual medicine to improve internal strength is a shortcut, it will accumulate medicine poison in the body, which is not good for the foundation. The most important thing in martial arts is to avoid being eager for quick success and instant benefits, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve success."
"I understand." Yang Ming thought to himself, that's an ordinary person, but I am different. Even if the drug poison is accumulated and the foundation is unstable, the system can automatically adjust it.
"After practicing martial arts, I can only show off my courage. I have never thought of being a peerless master. I just want to have some self-protection when I encounter danger." Yang Ming said lightly.
"It's good if the emperor understands it." said the queen mother. (To be continued)
