Du Xu sensed the inner impression of the emptiness of the empty room, broke through the sexual light period, and transformed his soul into an innate soul, which was a big deal.

Now he finally had time to observe this ancient city that is very different from a modern city, graceful and beautiful, and antique. He walked to the streets and alleys, looking around with the black eaves and green tiles and river water pavilions next to him. The streets here are very interesting. The pattern of people living is connected by rivers and bridges and streets, and there is a charm that modern steel cities do not have.

Perhaps because of the war, the pedestrians on the street were rushing, and a hint of worry was lingering between their eyebrows, which was somewhat inconsistent with the leisurely atmosphere of the ancient city.

Du Xu had no choice but to put away his interest in playing, speeded up, and turned into the alley next to him.

He turned around in the alley, gradually moving away from the harmonious area of ​​the ancient city of Yangzhou and entered the outer city where refugees and civilians lived. Passers-by who passed by were also turned into ragged clothes. Occasionally, there were some men who were not good at the sight of being good at it, and they were watching the pedestrians passing by on the street corners.

A thin man in a blue shirt and stingy eyes saw Du Xu walking over, his eyes lit up and walked towards Du Xu quickly.

As soon as he walked to a place dozens of feet in front of Du Xu, he was dragged to a small alley next to him by two strongly dressed men. One man covered the man's mouth and dragged him deep into the alley. Another man waited quietly by the side. When Du Xu passed by, he said respectfully: "Sir, walk slowly, we will teach you a lesson if you are not open!"

Du Xu ignored him and walked straight into the alley. The man in a good manner did not care. He waited respectfully until Du Xu walked away before retreating to the alley behind him.

After turning a few alleys, Du Xu came to the door of a dilapidated mansion. The two men at the door saw him and secretly looked at Du Xu in fear, carefully opened the door. A group of servants and maids were waiting quietly behind the door.

The leader was a mighty man with wide ears on the one hand, about forties, his fingers were swollen and protruding, his temples were bulging, and behind him were a group of evil men full of evil spirits, but now he was smiling carefully, naturally bent over, and respectfully facing Du Xu.

This man was named Li San, who was the third master of the Black Tiger Gang in the Outer City of Yangzhou. There were two elder brothers on it, Mr. Han and Mr. Xiao. The three were the heads of the Black Tiger Gang among the four major helms of the slums in the Outer City of Yangzhou. When Du Xu first came to Yangzhou, he provoked their spies because of the ten taels of gold rented in the ten-two houses.

Afterwards, the three leaders of the Black Tiger Gang became one, and the Li San became Li San! Later, the four major rudders of the outer city of Yangzhou - the Black Tiger Gang, the ship rudder, Qingtang, and the Kouzihui, were all merged by Li San and merged with the Pharmaceutical Gang, controlling the gray world of Yangzhou City. With the support of Du Xu, Li San became the dungeon lord of Yangzhou.

Du Xu didn't care about these things. He only cared about the convenience that Li San could bring him. Among the three leaders of the Black Tiger Gang, Li San was the best at looking at people. Although his martial arts skills were the worst, he handled most of the daily affairs of the Black Tiger Gang, and he was very capable. The secret chess he set up casually gave him a surprise.

"Sir, these are the fresh medicinal materials you want. There is still a ball of soil on the roots, which is absolutely fresh. At the latest, it was dug out one hundred years ago. It has all the rhizomes and stems, so it will definitely not hinder your planting." Li San respectfully took Du Xu to the east wing of the mansion, which was filled with medicinal plants wrapped in wooden boxes with silk cloth.

Li San pointed to the pile on the left and said, "This is transported from Yunnan. They are all the best Panax notoginseng, Dendrobium, Gastrodia elata, Angelica sinensis, Poria cocos, etc., as well as some plants found according to the drawings you have drawn, and treasures known to the locals. These are fresh medicinal plants we purchased at high prices, and there are some dried goods that have been prepared behind."

He pointed to the right again, "These are all unique medicinal plants in the north, including Tianmu Mountain Five Elements Grass, Taihang Mountain Purple Ginseng, etc. There are some time too short, only the prepared dry goods, no fresh plants, and some precious medicinal materials have only been heard of, and we are trying to search for them."

Du Xu didn't care, raised his hand to signal Li San to stop, and said lightly: "It's nothing, this is not something that can be done in a short period of time. I will have to stay here for at least five years, just search for these things slowly."

He squatted down, opened the wooden box containing the medicinal materials, looked at it for a while, and said, "Anyone who has more than a hundred living plants does not need to collect them! In the future, it will be mainly made of dry medicinal materials. You ask the people below to train medicinal farmers who collect medicinal materials, at least they must know how to collect and prepare medicinal materials. These medicinal materials are obviously not proficient enough when collecting them."

"Of course, we still need to continue to collect medicinal materials without living bodies. Some strange plants, high-year medicinal materials, and things with strange phenomena should also be given more rewards. Anyone who gives me one will be given a prize! At the same time, we collect some small animal medicinal materials, and think of some poisonous insects and strange beasts. It is best to live, male and female pairs."

"The large animal medicinal materials are continuously purchased, with no limit on the quantity, such as rhinoceros horns, beef yellow, and night sand, as much as possible."

After saying that, Du Xu looked back at Li San and asked, "How is the medicinal materials workshop? Can the medicine be sold? What is the capital situation?"

Li San took the account book from the maid behind and put it in his hand, saying respectfully: "In addition to the original six workshops, we have built three new workshops, one cannon production workshop and two pharmaceutical workshops. In the north, the war was fought. The commander of Fengtian King and General Yang of Yizhou praised our Yunnan Baiyao and ordered a large number of patent medicines. Rendan was sold very popular in the Nanman area, and other patent medicines were in short supply, and shareholders all demanded to expand production."

"The power of our medicine gang has expanded to the three southeastern prefectures, two southwest prefectures, two Jiangbei prefectures, one Central Plains prefecture, and a total of eight states have reached half of China. Most of them have been established on the original local gangs. There is a very shortage of good players, which has affected our stability! But as long as the expansion is temporarily stopped, our subordinates are confident that they can be integrated in one year and eliminate the hidden danger of rapid expansion. Due to the expansion, even if our medicinal materials are well-invested, they still cannot afford it. They rely on the franchise fees of franchise stores in various places."

Du Xu looked at him and asked seriously: "Does the shadow affect my collection of medicinal materials and treasures?"

Li San replied: "In other places in China, our medicine gang cannot cover, there are allies providing medicinal materials. We have no choice but to use the Tibetan Plateau of the Secret Buddhism. Some unique medicinal materials there may be difficult to collect, but the subordinates are working hard. There are no funding problems. Many shareholders are willing to increase their shares. We do not need to control the profits of medicinal materials in pharmacies across the country. If we give them to them, we can get a large amount of funds. Sir, should we stop expanding a little and eliminate some hidden dangers?"

Du Xu replied casually: "You can do it!"

Then he turned around and walked towards the hall, asking, "Where do I want the medicine furnace you are looking for? Are all the medicine-refining things ready?"

Li San replied confidently: "The medicine furnace has been arranged in the fire room. Carbon is the best silver frost carbon. Everything else is ready. Sir, come with me." So he went forward to lead the way.

Du Xu saw his hands with protruding joints and said with concern: "How is your hand? You have not received the true teachings of the Eagle Claw Hand before, so you have practiced forcibly. Your hands are almost useless. Although I have completed your Eagle Claw Hand, it will not take a day or two to raise these hands. I will refine some pills and ointments for you to raise your hands well, and then refine some pills to increase internal strength. You can use them to cultivate some good hands."

Li San said with gratitude: "Mr. Xie, my subordinates will never forget the support of Mr. He."

As they were talking, the two of them arrived at the door of a tightly built and uniquely shaped house. Du Xu knew that this was the fire room. He turned around and pushed the door in, and turned around and said to Li San: "You go down first to pack the fresh medicinal materials and carry them to the warehouse. Don't leave anyone in the warehouse. If you have any problems later, I'll ask someone to call you."

After saying that, he ignored Li San's reaction and closed the door and locked it.

This is a big room with five bedrooms and one living room. The innermost room is the elixir room with a elixir stove. There is also a carbon room, two pharmacies, and a quiet room behind it.

There are several rows of large cabinets in the pharmacy, with dense drawers on the cabinets, which contain prepared medicinal materials. The elixir room is very professionally arranged, and the air inlet and outlet leads to the outside of the house. In the middle is a large elixir furnace made of fine copper. The charcoal fire has been burned under the elixir furnace. Du Xu saw this elixir furnace and couldn't help but nod, very satisfied with Li San's care.
