Chapter 22 I Love Creation

Lujiang County, Wan County.

Early in the morning, Yuan Yin came to him in a hurry, with a heavy expression on his face, as if the sky was about to fall.

"Why is uncle in such a panic? Could it be that Sun Ce sent troops here again?"

Yuan Yao supported Yuan Yin who was out of breath, and said with concern.

Yuan Yin took a long breath, and then replied: "Yao'er, the treasury has no money left, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support the military salary of [-] soldiers and horses, why not pay the military salary every other month?"

No money?
In the past two months, Yuan Yao has become used to being extravagant. He rewards the soldiers and soldiers under his command as much as they have. There is a dry day.

Yuan Yao asked: "Have all the government treasuries been checked in detail? It can't be so fast, right?"

After a meal, Yuan Yin felt dizzy and dizzy instantly. How could there be any money left? A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry.

"Yao'er can't trust uncle? Uncle didn't take a single piece of money for himself. Right now, the county governments in various places still need us to spread the money, otherwise few people would be willing to stay in Lujiang County."

Yuan Yaowan didn't expect that the matter would be so serious. After finally gathering [-] soldiers and horses, just when he could let go of his hands and feet and do a big job, he ran out of money.

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Yuan Yao immediately fell from heaven to hell.

In other words, business tax is paid once a year nowadays, and apart from the two big cities of Wan County and Shu County in Lujiang County, there are a few caravan merchants, and there are very few other small counties, let alone paying taxes. to make money.

"Uncle, do you have a connection?"

He was really at a loss for Yuan Yao, a brat who hadn't experienced much in the world yet.

Yuan Yin heaved a long sigh and said, "The only thing we can do now is to reduce expenses, and it is best to reduce the distribution of military pay..."

"No, absolutely not."

Yuan Yao decisively interrupted, the soldiers gathered with great difficulty cannot be destroyed overnight.

Yuan Yin said distressedly: "But right now we have no other choice. In the past, we could have asked family and merchants to help out. Now that we have just established Lujiang County, we are not valued at all. These people may avoid it."

Yuan Yao said in a deep voice: "It is a big disadvantage to ask for others. Once you are not valued by these aristocratic families, it is easy to be restrained by them. We have to find a way by ourselves."

"Uncle, do you know some big merchant families? It's better to be like the Mi family in Xuzhou, where the caravans run all over the world."

Yuan Yin thought deeply with a cold face, and after a while he slowly opened his mouth and said: "The Mi family is a rare family of merchants, with a wealthy family and many diners. I am afraid that few can compare with them, but Zhongshan Wuji in your uncle's land The big family Zhen’s business is prosperous.”

"The Zhen family?"

Yuan Yin replied: "That's right, Mr. Xi has married Zhen Mi, the daughter of the Zhen family, and now the Zhen family is very close to your uncle."

"Uncle, there is a way to contact the Zhen family caravan. My nephew has a few items in his hand, which will definitely make the Zhen family earn a lot of money. We can also profit from it, so we can solve our urgent needs."

Yuan Yin was startled at first, then relieved at random. Recently, this nephew has become more and more puzzling.

"This matter is easy to handle. The spies we sent out have successfully infiltrated Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places. There is no problem in inquiring about these information."

Yuan Yao rejoiced and said: "It's just right, my uncle hastened to inquire about the news, and my nephew still has important things to do, excuse me."

Watching Yuan Yao run away in a hurry, Yuan Yin knew about this matter, and maybe he already had a solution.

In the evening, Yuan Yao returned to the Prefect's Mansion with a lot of belongings, accompanied by Sun Simiao, both of them were sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"My lord, can these things really make what you call toothpaste?"

Sun Simiao asked puzzledly.

Yuan Yao replied solemnly: "I'm afraid it's not difficult."

Since time travel, Yuan Yao has been suffering from rinsing his mouth after getting up in the morning. It is simply horrible. The so-called toothbrush is to soak willow branches in water.

The toothpaste used for cleaning is even simpler, it is salt water, which is very uncomfortable.

Now, if toothpaste and toothbrush come out earlier, it must be a huge business opportunity.

These two objects are not troublesome to make. A toothbrush can be cut into a rough shape with a bamboo board, drilled, and then used as a brush with a horsetail.

Toothpaste is much simpler. Use 60 grams of mint, 60 grams of saltpeter, 60 grams of gall, 2.1 grams of borneol, 3 grams of xuanming powder, 30 grams of borax, and 60 grams of green salt. Made into toothpaste, it can also treat wind-heat toothache.

Just do what you say, Sun Simiao is in charge of toothpaste production, Yuan Yao is in charge of toothbrush production, the two of them have been busy until late at night before finishing the work hastily.

Yuan Yao made ten toothbrushes, and Sun Simiao completed twenty bottles of toothpaste. It can be said that they have gained a lot.

Yuan Yao handed Sun Simiao a toothbrush, and said with a smile, "Doctor Sun, this toothbrush is for you. Go and try it, and you will surely discover the mystery."

Not to mention, Sun Simiao really hurried down to test it. According to what Yuan Yao said, he soaked the toothbrush in hot boiling water for a while, then dipped a little toothpaste made by himself, put it in his mouth, and brushed it left and right.

In an instant, a coolness penetrated from the head to the soles of the feet. It was very comfortable, and even the fatigue was gone. Then I brushed it carefully for a while, and my mouth was full of foamy stars, but I enjoyed it very much. Finally, I reluctantly rinsed my mouth with water, aftertaste endless.

Sun Simiao looked at Yuan Yao in amazement, and said with admiration, "My lord, this thing is really amazing. I'll keep this toothbrush for myself."

Sun Simiao carefully put away the toothbrush, as if he had found a treasure.

Yuan Yao's eyebrows flashed, and he said again: "Doctor Sun, you can try to make several more toothpastes, and you can add some medicinal materials to it to achieve some special effects, such as preventing tooth decay, toothache, and tooth bleeding."

"My lord, I have a high opinion. I will go back to the mansion to think about it. I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

"well……"

The two looked at each other and smiled, looking back outside the house, it was already full of stars, only to realize that it was already late at night.

Five days later, news of the Zhen family caravan finally came.

Yuan Yin said to Yuan Yao: "There is news from Jingzhou that the Zhen family's caravan has settled down in Jiangxia County. The leader this time is Zhen Yao, the third son of the Zhen family. He is quite talented."

Yuan Yao asked eagerly: "Oh..., it's just right, but I wonder if uncle can invite Zhen Yao to come to Wan County?"

Yuan Yin said with a smile: "Businessmen are all profit-seeking. If we promise them great profits, how can they not come?"

"Okay, so I will trouble uncle, I have already prepared the items, and I will definitely sell them for a big price."

Yuan Yao kept the matter of toothpaste and toothbrush extremely secret. Only Sun Simiao and an old carpenter knew about it. If it weren't for Yuan Yao's carpentry work, he couldn't bear to look directly at it, and Yuan Yao didn't want the old carpenter to participate.

This old carpenter's surname is Wang, everyone calls him Carpenter Wang, he is alone, and now Yuan Yao has raised him in the prefect's mansion, providing all his food and clothing.
