HPDBC Chapter 1479 1 million?
Chapter 1479 1 million?
Chapter 1479: One thousand...ten thousand?
On the small road in Yong'antun, Zhao Jun walked in front with his hands in his pockets, followed by Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai.
As Zhang and Li were walking, they bumped into each other and pushed each other, and they were arguing about something in a low voice.
I guess this time we won’t be summarizing the lessons learned from the Battle of Chibi.
Before Zhao Jun left home, he told Wang Meilan that he was going to Xu Changlin's house. But as he walked, he arrived at the garrison.
As soon as Zhao Jun and the other two entered the garrison, they saw Zhao Guofeng holding a stove hook and putting the stove cover on the stove that had just been filled with firewood.
Zhao Jun took the lead in greeting Zhao Guofeng, who smiled at them and said, "Hey, you guys are here."
As soon as Zhao Guofeng finished speaking, another person came in from outside. It was Zhao Guofeng's son Zhao Jinshan.
"Brother Zhang, Zhao Jun, and Ruhai." Zhao Jinshan greeted the three of them. Zhao Jun called out "Jinshan" with a smile, Li Ruhai called out "Brother Jinshan", and Zhang Yuanmin just nodded to Zhao Jinshan.
This is not because Zhang Yuanmin is rich and arrogant, his good temper is only towards Zhao Jun and his men. When he was poor before, Zhang Yuanmin's temper was also well-known in Yong'an Village.
This can be seen from his attitude towards Chen Dalai, Liu Hanshan and Gu Yang.
When Xu Changlin saw Zhang Yuanmin working hard for the Zhao army, he once said that Zhang Yuanmin was not someone who would work for ordinary people.
This ordinary person has nothing to do with money or power. He must be someone who looks up to Zhang Yuanmin, and someone that Zhang Yuanmin looks up to.
Zhao Jinshan had always looked down on Zhang Yuanmin. When the Zhao family had a dinner party last year, they invited Zhang Yuanmin's family and Zhao Guofeng's family as well.
When Zhao Jinshan went to Zhao's house that morning, he saw Zhang Yuanmin helping the Zhao family sweep the yard, so he walked over and shouted "Big crotch".
Zhang Yuanmin ignored him at that time, and now Zhao Jinshan calls Zhang Yuanmin "Big Brother Zhang", but Zhang Yuanmin still doesn't intend to pay attention to him.
"Zhao Jun, what are you doing here?" Zhao Guofeng did not ask Zhao Jun and the others to sit down, because Zhao Guofeng knew that Li Ruhai was a lazy person, but Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin were not.
If they come here, it must be because of something. If they want to borrow something from the military headquarters, they can just go out and get it.
"It's nothing, uncle, let's take a stroll." Seeing that Zhao Jinshan was also there, Zhao Jun knew that he couldn't be anxious. It happened that he brought two generals today, which was enough to deal with the father and son of the Zhao family.
Hearing Zhao Jun say that he was fine, Zhao Guofeng quickly asked the three of them to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Guofeng said to Zhao Jun, "Zhao Jun, it's a good thing you're here. Well...if you hadn't come to find me, I would have been looking for you."
"What's the matter, uncle?" Zhao Jun asked. Zhao Guofeng said, "Have you arranged for the roe deer you brought back yesterday?"
Hearing what Zhao Guofeng said, Zhao Jun immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, I'll send one home for you tomorrow."
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Jinshan showed joy on his face, and Zhao Guofeng immediately waved his hand and said, "No! I'll buy it."
"What are you buying, uncle?" Zhao Jun said, "Our two families are of the same generation, and you eat my nephew's roe deer, just think of it as my nephew's filial piety to you."
The relationship between their two families is good, from the two old men to Zhao Youcai and Zhao Guofeng, and then to Zhao Jun and Zhao Jinshan, the generation is a little bit behind, but it is also pretty good.
"Forget it." Zhao Guofeng still refused and said, "How many roe deer have I eaten from you this year?"
"What's there to be afraid of..." Zhao Jun wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Zhao Guofeng, who said, "Alright, Jun, this isn't for uncle to eat. If you want me to eat, you give it to me and I'll take it. I'm giving this away as a gift, so I'll pay you for it."
"Uncle, these... there are no big ones now." Zhao Jun said, "The ones we caught yesterday were all females, and the largest one weighed only about 50 kilograms."
"That's good." Zhao Guofeng said, raising his hand to Zhao Jinshan, "Jinshan, go home and ask your mother for 120 yuan."
"Okay, Dad." Zhao Jinshan stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Jun.
"Uncle, I don't need that." Zhao Jun pulled Zhao Jinshan's arm and said to Zhao Guofeng, "Just give me fifty yuan."
"Is that okay?" Zhao Guofeng said, "If you sell it to Yongxing, the male will be 100 yuan, and the female will be 120 yuan."
"Uncle!" Zhao Jun said, "What do you have to do with them? If they are used for breeding, then it will be expensive. If you eat meat, then it will be cheap."
"Eating meat, the fifty yuan won't come down." Zhao Guofeng said so, and Zhao Jun said: "Uncle, it can't just be about money, isn't there also a relationship?"
Favors also have a price!
"Okay then." Zhao Guofeng didn't hesitate to say anything after hearing this. He immediately said to Zhao Jun, "Then stop dragging Jinshan along. Let Jinshan go home and get the money for you."
"Captain." Zhao Guofeng finished speaking, and before Zhao Jun could say anything, Zhang Yuanmin stood up and said with a smile: "There's no rush for money, no one can ask anyone for money. Um... the roe deer is tied up at our uncle's house. If you don't have anything to do, you and Jinshan can come with me to get it."
Hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Li Ruhai's eyes widened with surprise.
The purpose of Zhao Jun bringing them here was to get them to drive away the people in the garrison. Now Zhang Yuanmin wanted to take two people away at once, which would overwhelm Li Ruhai.
"Then let's go." Zhao Guofeng said, and when he reached out to take the dog-skin hat, he heard Zhao Jun say, "Uncle, then you guys follow my brother Zhang, I'll make a phone call here."
"You call me." Zhao Guofeng didn't think about anything, because Zhao Jun always called him, and considering Zhao Jun's character, there was nothing in their garrison worth Zhao Jun taking.
Seeing that Zhao Guofeng and Zhao Jinshan had left with Zhang Yuanmin, Li Ruhai pointed at the door and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, my brother Zhang is not polite. We agreed that if there is only one person, we will fight for it; if there are two people, we will deal with one each; if there are three people..."
"That's enough, Ruhai." What two or three? Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed to the door, and said to Li Ruhai: "Watch the door, and if you see someone coming over, shout. When you're done, I'll give you credit for your contribution when we get back."
Zhao Jun's words were more mysterious than pie in the sky, but Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai were sold on them. After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Li Ruhai happily left the house.
At this time, Zhao Jun was the only one left in the garrison. He picked up the outside phone and it took more than ten minutes to get through to Xinji Huichuntang.
"Is that Brother Huang?" Zhao Jun listened to the voice and felt that the person answering the phone should be Huang Haizhen.
"It's me. Who are you?" Huang Haizhen asked. Zhao Jun said, "Hello, Brother Huang. I'm Zhao Jun."
"Little brother," Huang Haizhen said, "We have almost arranged the money you asked for last time. Don't worry, when you come again after the New Year, there will definitely be enough money."
After returning from Hebei, Zhao Jun called the manager Huang of Huichuntang.
On the phone, Zhao Jun told Huang that he had a bigger golden bear gall to sell. If Huang was interested in buying it, he should prepare the money first.
At that time, Manager Huang did not hesitate at all and directly told Zhao Jun that Huichuntang wanted both golden bear gallbladders.
"Brother Huang, I'm not calling about this." Zhao Jun said so, Huang Haizhen hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, what do you want, tell me."
"I want to ask, ask." Zhao Jun said: "It's... Tiger Blood Pearl, is it considered a Chinese medicinal material?"
"What?" Huang Haizhen on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, and repeated: "Tiger blood what... beads? What is that? Is it similar to chicken blood stone?"
Zhao Jun knew that he didn't understand what Huang Haizhen said. Just when Zhao Jun wanted to say a few polite words and hang up the phone, Huang Haizhen suddenly said, "Dad, ah? Ah, little brother, my dad wants to talk to you."
Then, the voice of Shopkeeper Huang came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Zhao Jun."
"Hey, hello, Master Huang." Zhao Jun greeted him, and then he heard the shopkeeper Huang say, "I just came back from going out, and when I entered the room, I heard Haizhen talking about tiger blood beads. Do you still have this in the Northeast?"
"It seems so." Zhao Jun replied vaguely, and then asked: "Master Huang, is this considered a Chinese herbal medicine?"
"Of course they do." Shopkeeper Huang said firmly, "It's just that tiger blood beads are quite precious, and ordinary people can't get them. In the past, they were all presented as tribute to the palace, but in the past ten or twenty years, they have almost disappeared."
"Master Huang, that thing was taken from a Siberian tiger, right?" Zhao Jun asked. After getting confirmation from Huang, Zhao Jun asked again, "Master Huang, do you know how to get it?"
"What?" Shopkeeper Huang on the other end of the phone didn't follow Zhao Jun's jumping thoughts and asked subconsciously: "What do you mean?"
"Master Huang, I can catch the big claw, that is, the Siberian tiger." Zhao Jun said, "But I don't know how to get this tiger blood bead from the tiger."
"This... I don't know either." Huang's answer disappointed Zhao Jun a little, and then Huang continued: "My advice to you is not to operate before you figure it out, because that thing has a special storage method, and you will be blind if you don't store it properly."
At this point, Manager Huang paused for a moment and said, "My father's second uncle is an old man who is very good at treating children's illnesses. Because of this, he was recruited by the palace to be an imperial physician.
At that time... it seemed to be called the Imperial Hospital, and there were many medical books for them to study and read. But there were some medical books that we were not allowed to read, and only the Manchu imperial doctors could read them.
The old man and my father told me that when the palace was in turmoil, he picked up...it was half a medical book, but it was burned and incomplete, and it was all written in Manchu.
Later, my second uncle took the book to someone and asked them to translate it for him. It only wrote about how to store the tiger blood pills and how to use them as medicine, but it didn’t say how to obtain them.”
"Manager Huang." Zhao Jun heard this and asked hurriedly, "Has your father ever read that book?"
"I have seen it." Shopkeeper Huang was also a straightforward person. He didn't wait for Zhao Jun to ask again, and said directly to Zhao Jun: "I can't tell you how the tiger blood pills are used as medicine. But I can tell you how to preserve it."
"How do you preserve it?" Zhao Jun asked. Shopkeeper Huang said, "Tiger blood pills don't soak in snow, don't sink in water, but sink into the soil and become solid when they meet anything."
"What made you so stubborn?" Zhao Jun frowned when he heard this. "Tell me, why are you still giving me fill-in-the-blank questions?"
"I don't know about that." Shopkeeper Huang said, "I'm not lying to you. There was a hole burned in the place where the word was. I don't know what caused it to become solid."
Zhao Jun curled his lips, adjusted his mood, and asked again: "Master Huang, if you want to sell a tiger blood pill, how much can you sell it for?"
"Probably... I don't know." Shopkeeper Huang said, "This thing is even rarer than golden bear gall."
"Is there a reference price?" Zhao Jun asked again: "Has it appeared in the market before?"
"Yes." Shopkeeper Huang said, "It was many years ago. I heard that the two tiger blood pills were sold for 10 million yuan."
"What the hell? One million...ten thousand?" Shopkeeper Huang's words scared Zhao Jun so much that his voice changed.
The shopkeeper Huang on the other end of the phone hurriedly explained: "Old notes, they are old notes, ten thousand is equivalent to one dollar later."
Zhao Jun: "..."
Zhao Jun resisted the urge to swear. The 10 million that Manager Huang mentioned was the first set of RMB. Later, when it was exchanged for the second set of RMB, it was exchanged at a ratio of 10,000 to 1.
But that is to say, in the early years, two tiger blood balls were sold for one thousand yuan, which is quite scary.
Zhao Jun didn't get any useful information from Shopkeeper Huang and was also frightened. He felt a little bored. After saying a few polite words to Shopkeeper Huang, he hung up the phone.
When Zhao Jun came out of the garrison, they saw Li Ruhai patrolling back and forth at the gate.
"Ruhai." Zhao Jun called him. Li Ruhai heard the voice and came to Zhao Jun's side and said, "Brother, are you done with your call?"
"The fight is over." Zhao Jun said, "Ruhai, I have an important task for you."
"What mission?" Li Ruhai asked. Zhao Jun said, "Go ask the old man in our village what tiger blood pills are."
"Tiger blood pills? Great!" Li Ruhai clasped his fists towards Zhao Jun and said, "Brother, there is no time to lose. I'll go now."
Just as Zhao Jun was about to say something, he saw Zhang Yuanmin, Zhao Guofeng and Zhao Jinshan walking towards him from not far away.
"Go ahead, Ruhai." Zhao Jun said nothing more. He raised his hand and patted Li Ruhai on the shoulder. Li Ruhai turned around and ran away.
Zhao Jun went up to him, said a few words to Zhao Guofeng, and then walked towards Xu Changlin's house.
While walking, Zhao Jun was thinking, trying to find someone who could tell him about the method of making tiger blood balls.
Although the bandits in the mountains back then were divided into different tasks, if we find a few more old bandits, get some information out of them and summarize them together, we will definitely be able to find a clue.
But after liberation and before the suppression of bandits, all the bandits in the mountains disappeared overnight. The people were quite puzzled at the time and talked about it.
At this moment, Zhao Jun had a feeling that the disappearance of those beards was closely related to his grandmother.
Just like Shao Tuzhuazi, Wang Sanxi, and even Wang Changhai, who was in charge of allocating supplies, all ran to Lingnan.
As he was thinking, Zhao Jun walked to Xu Changlin's house.
When walking past the Xu family's fence tent, Zhao Jun took a deep breath. No matter how many secrets his great-grandmother left behind, he only cared about what was in front of him.
Whether it is 10 million or 100 million, let’s not talk about it for now, let’s deal with Bai Dapi’s issue first.
After Xu Changlin sold the dog, he never kept a dog again. After Zhao Jun entered the yard, he walked directly to the door, knocked on it lightly, and then pulled the door open. He saw Xu Changlin and Xu Guoliang busy in the outer room.
There was no other way. Xu Changlin's wife was sick and Shi Baofeng had an injured leg, so Xu Changlin and Xu Guoliang had to do the work.
"Oh, Zhao Jun!" When he saw it was Zhao Jun, Xu Changlin hurriedly put down the rag and came over to invite Zhao Jun into the house.
Judging from the appearance of Xu Changlin and his friends, they were clearing the dishes after dinner. Zhao Jun walked into the east room of the Xu family and greeted Old Lady Xu and Shi Baofeng. Then he heard Xu Changlin ask, "Zhao Jun, I heard from Baofeng that an old man passed away in your family. Was it Wang Changhai? Or was it Wang Changlu?"
After saying this, Xu Changlin muttered again, "It can't be Wang Changyou anyway."
"Master Xu." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "It's my sixth grandfather who's here."
"Wang Changhai." Xu Changlin turned to look at the old lady while speaking, and Zhao Jun took this opportunity to say to Shi Baofeng: "Fourth Uncle, I came to see you for something."
"What's the matter, Zhao Jun?" Before, outside the Zhao family's courtyard, Zhao Jun said that he had something to talk to him about, and Shi Baofeng was quite curious.
But as soon as Shi Baofeng finished speaking, he saw Zhao Jun take something out of his pocket.
Shi Baofeng's eyes were fixed on the screen and he exclaimed, "Ouch!"
I haven’t finished writing it yet... It’s okay, I’ll add more chapters tonight. If one chapter is not enough, I’ll add two chapters. I’ll at least give an explanation for this tiger blood pill.
Brothers, don't worry, the storyline must be complete and every aspect must be explained.
