The family has a throne to inherit
Chapter 39
After Situ Jin left a problem for Situ Yu and His Majesty, Shi Shi ran back to Huangzhuang. Anyway, he was only responsible for finding out the problem, and it was up to them to solve it.
The clues are already obvious, not to mention the fact that the incense burner was brought, Boshan furnace is not common in recent years, to imitate such a Boshan furnace, but also to imitate the old, it will take a lot of time and energy, and , the craftsmen needed will not be unknown people, ordinary craftsmen can't make that kind of charm at all.
Furthermore, how did the secret medicine that had been sealed in the imperial palace for more than 100 years come out? Moreover, let alone the secret medicine that has been made into a finished product, it is even a raw material. It is harmful to medicine!This kind of proprietary medicine can be stored for two or three years, so it is possible to expect it to be like some fine wine, getting better and better with age!Therefore, it must have been configured in the past few years.
Furthermore, the main drug of this thing has been missing for many years, even if the other party has a formula, how exactly is it prepared, where did the main drug come from, or in other words, did they find any substitutes.In particular, the preparation of this kind of medicine requires a lot of attention, and ordinary doctors can't do it. Even if it is the Heavenly King Buxin Pill and Ginseng Yangrong Pill that are often prepared by wealthy people, they have to find a master who specializes in this field. Waiting for the secret medicine, there are many particulars just looking at the formula, and if there is a slight difference, the efficacy of the medicine will drop a lot. Therefore, a person who can do this kind of thing must at least know a famous doctor who is proficient in concocting medicinal materials, and he must also be proficient in incense. .
With so many limitations, there are not many people who can get in touch with this thing. If you check carefully, you will naturally be able to find out the problem.
Situ Jin didn't expect that this matter would reach a deadlock. The Holy Majesty and Situ Yu both sent people to investigate, but in the end they both fell into a deadlock.
First, the officials who dedicated such a Boshan furnace to the East Palace did not wait for anyone to ask about it. The water ran out of the house, and the whole family was burned to the ground. No one escaped. The fire even spread half the street. The family was ruined because of this.At the end of the investigation, they didn't even know how the fire started. The Ministry of Criminal Justice investigated for a long time and concluded that the woman who was watching the night was drunk and accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, causing the fire to break out.But it was already the middle of the night at that time, everyone was sleeping soundly, and no abnormalities were found at all. By the time they were discovered, the fire had already spread.
This official's family is gone, and he tried to trace this line, but it was a failure.Houses these days are generally of earth-wood structure, but there are very few masonry structures, and a lot of wood is used. It is inevitable that the fire cannot be controlled. Therefore, even Shengshang and Situ Yu feel that there is something tricky inside, but for a while, The Ministry of Criminal Justice could not find any doubts.
It is also very cumbersome to trace the various ingredients in this spice. After all, many ingredients are actually very commonly used, that is, some common medicinal materials and spices, which are bought by many wealthy families, and those relatively rare medicinal materials. The channels of various medicinal material merchants and spice merchants have also flowed in more people, and it seems that there is no such motive after tracing.There are also several ingredients that are not originally owned by the Central Plains, some are from Southeast Asia, and some are from the Western Regions. It is even more difficult to trace these.
As for who is the beneficiary of the prince's madness, even if he knew it in his heart, the Holy Majesty couldn't ask someone to interrogate his other sons, right? Situ Yu couldn't get a foothold if it really came to that.
What's more, this matter couldn't be put on the table in the first place, so in the end, I had to ask someone to investigate it privately, and the people who investigated it publicly were removed.
And Situ Yu has given up the habit of burning incense now, even if the house needs incense or something, he just took fresh flowers and fruits and put them in the house. , I'm afraid this time may not be so lucky.
As for the Holy Majesty, the habit of incense has also been given up. Who knows that there are still such tricks? If someone concocts some even more terrifying spices and medicines, and puts them through incense burners, wouldn't it be death? Do not know how to die?
But the concubines in the harem are rather depressed. These days, fumigation of the house and clothes with spices is a routine operation. As a result, whoever fumigates the palace now, the Holy Majesty does not come, so what's the point of this fumigation!Many spices in the palace are no longer used, which saves the Ministry of Internal Affairs a lot of expenses. After all, spices are not cheap.Of course, the imperial merchants who are responsible for offering spices are more sad. Those high-end spices are no longer used by the ladies, who are they buying and selling to!
Situ Jin had no idea there were so many articles here until he received a gift from Jia Amnesty.
This generous gift was sent by Xue Jian, the head of the Xue family's generation, and it is indeed a generous gift!
If the conditions of the Xue family and the Wang family of the Jia family were actually similar in the previous dynasty, it is already a world of difference now.The Xue family was originally a businessman, and they always paid attention to safety. Therefore, the Xue family offered their family property at that time, and the Xue family could not do anything else.
When the new dynasty was established, the ancestors of the Xue family were granted the title of Ziwei Sheren, and then received the position of the Imperial Merchant. The previous investment was returned thousands of times and hundreds of times.As an imperial merchant, the Xue family is responsible for supplying the palace with cloth, spices and other things, and now there are big problems.The looms Situ Jin made and the better cotton cloth that the Xue family brought up as tributes cost too much on the one hand, and on the other hand they were a bit eclipsed, not to mention the spices. The home is on the verge of collapse.
Naturally, the Xue family didn't know the situation in the palace, only that the Holy One and the Crown Prince suddenly didn't like incense. Therefore, if there is something good at the top, it must be followed by the bottom. Naturally, others have followed suit. Since no one uses it, Who has nothing to do with a bunch of spices.
Even if the Xue family's main business is not only this, they have almost all kinds of shops and do all kinds of industries, but the identity of the imperial merchant is a protective umbrella for the Xue family. Whether it can be saved is still a question.
The Xue family is also helpless. Although they are old relatives with the Jia family and the Wang family, they have been friends for several lifetimes, but after the Ziwei Sheren position is gone, the Xue family has no such qualifications at all except for the name of an imperial merchant. I have been in contact with several old relatives who were originally knighted.After all, Xue Jian, the successor of the Xue family, spent a lot of money to get in touch with the Wang family and marry the daughter of the Wang family. As a result, the talent from here passed through the family, and the Wang family had an accident.
The Xue family doesn't have the confidence of the Jia family, even the Jia family, after a while, they didn't really treat the Wang family. Naturally, the Xue family couldn't really abandon the little Wang family, but the merchant Putting interests first, Xue Jian later took in a second wife, who was the daughter of another imperial merchant.
As a result, a few years later, this matter became embarrassing again, and Wang Ziteng got up again. Wang Ziteng couldn't do anything about Jia's family, and he couldn't do anything about Xue's family. Xue's family had some unruly transactions at the border, but Wang Ziteng disturbed them. , the way is broken.
The Xue family is now in a worse situation. If the problem is not solved, the living space will be squeezed by other imperial merchants.In particular, the Xue family has twelve houses in Jinling, and they have always contributed capital to do business together. Now that the Xue family has suffered several setbacks, several houses have expressed that they want to take out their own members and start their own business, especially the powerful ones. Jifang has been eyeing the number of imperial merchants for a long time. If the main branch can't do well, some people want to do it.
Xue Jian ran to the capital this time because he wanted to find a way out. Wang Ziteng was indifferent to Xue's family. A few years ago, Xue Jian's family was actually called the second-bedroom head of the family. Xue Jian, who is relatively weak, and has no natal family to rely on, has suffered a lot of grievances. Now, Xue Jian has even given birth to the eldest son of the concubine, and Xiao Wang has not yet conceived.If Wang Ziteng was willing to give this brother-in-law a good face, it would be hell. Therefore, after Xue Jian came to the door, Wang Ziteng said a few perfunctory words, saying that he could not help, and sent him away.
Jia Zheng and him were brother-in-law after all, so Xue Jian immediately went to Jia's house to visit.Jia Daishan still knows something about the Xue family. The Xue family was originally in the south of the Yangtze River and was in charge of a part of the Department of General Affairs. However, the Xue family also had selfish intentions about the customs before. The Xue family also had a fleet of ships to go to sea. Otherwise, where did their family's spices and gems from Nanyang come from? Naturally, they kept the matter of the maritime merchants a secret. The Holy One was displeased. Although he didn't ask the crime directly, he also took away the Xue family's position in the Secretary of General Administration.In order to keep Xue's family, Xue Jian's father also committed suicide by taking poison directly, so as not to make His Majesty suspicious, Xue's family stayed behind in the Department of General Affairs.
Xue Jian didn't know anything about the Secretary of General Administration. His father didn't say a word before his sudden death. However, Xue Jian could also guess that the Xue family must have offended someone who could not be offended, so that his father wanted to keep Xue Jian. Home, had to die!Leaving Xue Jian behind would be exhausted, so he had to rush to the capital to find a way out.
Jia Daishan can understand the Xue family's choice, but since something went wrong, he will naturally have to bear the consequences.
Jia Daishan didn't give any guidance. Xue Jian, who was depressed, went to the doctor in a hurry and went to Jia She. He hoped that Jia She would be a middle man. He wanted to simply rely on Situ Jin, the Prince of Fengyu.
In the Central Plains, merchants have always been very rich, but in general, when they encounter power, the little money of merchants not only does not bring them any sense of security, but is the root of trouble.
The Xue family lost their job as the Secretary of General Affairs, and the position of the Imperial Merchant was also in jeopardy. If they didn't find a reliable backer, they wouldn't be able to survive.The Xue family wanted to seek refuge with the prince, but Xue Jian was somewhat self-aware. What's more, the battle for the prince's succession had begun to heat up. beated.
Therefore, after counting and counting, it is more cost-effective to choose Prince Fengyu. Although Xue Jian also felt that Prince Fengyu might not like the Xue family, but no matter what, he had to give it a try, right?
Therefore, in order to impress Jia She to be the middleman, Xue Jian spent a lot of money, and directly found a set of flower and bird fans hand-painted by the famous masters of the former dynasty, which made Jia She's heart itch, and finally bit the bullet and found Situ Jin. Here it comes.
Situ Jin knew at a glance that Jia Amnesty must have received a benefit that could not be refused, so she couldn't help laughing, and asked, "What benefit did you accept, you have to share it with me!"
Jia She's expression turned bitter immediately, and he said, "Your Highness, you can do anything else, this time it's my heart!"
Situ Jin understood immediately, and couldn't help laughing: "What kind of ancient fan is it?"
Jia She nodded, and said with great interest: "This is the handwriting of that Xiya layman from the previous dynasty, and he is best at flowers and birds. The brushwork and gestures are simply amazing! Alas, Your Highness, I am here today. If you didn’t bring it, I’ll bring it back for you to enjoy!”
Situ Jin nodded, Xiya Layman is from a certain family in Shandong, and was originally an official in the court. After his wife died, he resigned from office and went back to the mountains. He called himself Xiya Layman. Not too much, it was not easy for Xue Jian to get a whole set of ancient fans drawn by him at once.
Jia She looked at Situ Jin eagerly, and asked tentatively, "Then, what about Xue Jian, Your Highness?"
Situ Jin counted the time and said, "Let him come over tomorrow!"
Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief immediately. Since Situ Jin was relieved, no matter whether the matter was accomplished or not, his mission was successfully completed, and the fan was no longer hot. His Highness is gone, I will also collect some rare things for His Highness later, His Highness just treat it as a fun and take a look!"
Situ Jin smiled and said: "Okay, you go back and look at your fan yourself, be careful that Rong Guogong finds out and beats you!"
Jia Shen's face suddenly became bitter, and then showed a trace of worry: "Oh, my old man is not as good as before. Now he wants to beat me himself, but he is almost unable to beat me!"
Situ Jin was silent for a moment. Jia Daishan submitted a report last year to retire, but the Holy One never allowed it. Jia Daishan was as old as the Holy One, and he was not even fifty yet. As a result, because of those things when he was young, it seems so simple now. Ten years older than the Holy One, the Holy One looked at it, there is no reason not to be sentimental.Seeing these people of the same age begin to age, the Holy Majesty naturally felt melancholy, so he valued these old people more and more.
Jia She cheered himself up and said: "Forget it, I have to go back quickly. The old man has always looked at us sons disliked. Whenever he saw us, he would blow his beard and stare. I don't want to annoy him! Your Highness, the little minister will go to the office first." Retire!"
Situ Jin waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can bring Xue Jian over here tomorrow!"
Jia She nodded. After all, Xue Jian was recommended by him, so naturally he had to bring Xue Jian here later.
Jia Amnesty left, but Jia Jing got the news and came to see him not long after, and said: "His Royal Highness, Enhou sometimes has an inconsiderate temper. If he has any inappropriate requests, Your Highness should not accept them." Compete with him!"
Jia Jing naturally knew that Xue's family came to Beijing to pay a visit to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Amnesty's running over this time was inevitably related to Xue's family. It’s a merchant, so there’s no need for His Highness to condescend to meet you!” Jia Amnesty said in a subtle manner, he almost didn’t say that the Xue family is not worthy of loyalty to a prince like you. what?Maybe it's just trouble.
Situ Jin waved her hand and said, "I just saw it, as for what to do, I have to see it!"
Jia Jing thought for a while, and seeing that Situ Jin was about the same age as his own son, he suddenly felt helpless. Before, he saw that Situ Jin was very capable and knowledgeable, but now he saw that Situ Jin was still a little childish. However, He made up his mind that if the Xue family came up with any unreasonable ideas tomorrow, they must let the Xue family know what measure is.
Jia Jing also thinks too much. Situ Jin really has no interest in money or anything else. Ordinary money is nothing to a person like him. A practitioner who wants to make money is really nothing. It couldn't be simpler. Situ Jin also has a multi-dimensional forum in his hand. As long as he is willing, the gold and silver he can take out can greatly depreciate the gold and silver on the market.What could the Xue family have that attracted Situ Jin?It's just that when Situ Jin heard the word Xue, he just had a whim.
Situ Jin already had a feeling for something similar to fate in this world. In his feeling, both the Jia family and the Xue family seemed to be involved in this seemingly established fate, but this also It's not very obvious, and there are certain variables in it.
Situ Jin is very interested in this. He really wants to know whether the fate of this world is determined by the so-called heaven. If so, what should his own fate be like?
Situ Jin pays more attention to the names that can arouse his feelings. He really wants to know what kind of fate these people should have. If he pushes them, the fate will slide in the predetermined direction. , it will still deviate, and if it deviates, what will happen in the end? Situ Jin is really curious about this.
Because of this curiosity, Situ Jin was happy to meet Xue Jian, the head of the Xue family, whom he had never heard of before.
Xue Jian was very nervous. After he got the news of Jia Amnesty, he was preparing to meet Situ Jin. In the morning, he had to toss about the clothes.In the past, the Xue family had some embarrassing identities. They said they were merchants, or imperial merchants, and they were secretly in charge of the General Secretary, so they usually didn't pay attention to their clothes.However, it doesn’t matter if you live in the south of the Yangtze River. The south of the Yangtze River is prosperous. Although there are regulations in the court etiquette system, ordinary people are not allowed to wear gold hairpins on their heads, but this kind of thing has never been done by the people. It's nothing to buy some nobile hairpins for your family members!As for merchants, ordinary merchants are not allowed to wear silk according to etiquette, but the Xue family dared to wear some tributes.
Xue Jian has been cautious since his father died, especially since he was ridiculed before, but now he cares about it very much. Therefore, when he came over, he was wearing a brown cocoon robe with a He didn't dare to wear any overly eye-catching accessories, and his head was tied with an ordinary wooden hairpin, which looked very low-key.Jia Amnesty curled his lips when he saw it, thinking that Xue Jian was too careful.
Situ Jin doesn't know as much about these things as Xue Jian. With his current status, he has almost no taboos except that he can't wear bright yellow and apricot yellow, and can't have five-clawed dragons on his usual utensils. Therefore, he Don't care about these at all.
Although Xue Jian looks a little thin, probably because of his physical and mental exhaustion these days, he always has a slightly humble smile on his face, which makes people feel more comfortable.He respectfully saluted Situ Jin: "Xiaomin pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Fengyu!"
Situ Jin nodded slightly, and said, "Excuse me, sit down!"
Xue Jian carefully slanted his body and sat down under Jia Amnesty's hand, then lowered his head slightly, looking at Situ Jin who was doing it from the corner of his eye.
Although Situ Jin developed a little earlier than his peers, he still looked like a young boy, but his face was like jade, and there seemed to be fluorescent lights on his skin. He sat on a chair with a slightly The leisurely and almost lazy meaning does not make people feel contemptuous, but it is a matter of course.Xue Jian suddenly remembered the folk legends about this prince, saying that this prince is a true immortal from the upper world, and now it seems that he really looks like an exiled immortal, and he suddenly felt a little ashamed, thinking about his own plans , I feel that it is no different from blasphemy.
Situ Jin didn't feel anything strange about Xue Jian, but it's nothing, maybe it hasn't come yet, so Situ Jin just said: "Patriarch Xue sent a generous gift yesterday, what is the purpose?"
Xue Jian was choked up immediately, why don't you be so direct, can everyone have a pleasant exchange, shouldn't you beat around the bush a little bit, but I just sat down here, and I haven't thought about the words, so you come here , You brought a heavy gift here, is there anything you want?This made Xue Jian very uncomfortable.
Situ Jin didn't bother to waste time when she found out that she couldn't get more information from Xue Jian. Therefore, she naturally didn't consider Xue Jian's mood. After Xue Jian calmed down, he got up and saluted. Said: "Your Highness, just call me Xue Jian! Xue Jian implores His Highness to protect the Xue family, the Xue family is willing to donate half of the family property, and [-]% of future profits to His Highness!"
How could Situ Jin be interested in the Xue family's property, so he waved his hand directly and said, "What do I want the Xue family's property for?"
Xue Jian suddenly became a little anxious, and quickly said: "Whatever your Highness wants, even if you tell Xiaomin, Xiaomin is willing to serve His Highness if he searches the world poorly!"
Jia Amnesty glanced at Xue Jian and sneered. With Situ Jin's current status, there are many people who want something and are willing to search the world for him!It is the Holy One, as long as Situ Jin says what he wants, the Holy Majesty will definitely not discount it at all, and even exceed Situ Jin's request.
It's just that Situ Jin doesn't seem to be very interested in these things. What he's really interested in are some magical tools, and Taoist and Buddhist classics. It can't be ordinary classics, it's better to be the manuscripts of sages .How can a businessman from the Xue family get these things!Some fundamental classics of Taoism, even if the Holy One asks for it himself, they may not necessarily give it to them!
After Xue Jian heard Jia She's sneer, he immediately understood. He just felt dejected. Situ Jin didn't like Xue's family property. As for other things, he might not be able to get it. How can I impress this prince?
Situ Jin said directly: "Patriarch Xue is also an imperial merchant after all, so maybe the court can't protect you anymore! So, don't mention these words anymore! Patriarch Xue should take back yesterday's gift too!"
Xue Jian knelt down with a plop, and begged, "Your Highness, Xue Jian is taking the liberty. That gift is Xue Jian's wish, and please accept it!" If Situ Jin returned Xue Jian's gift, If it gets out, I don't know how many people will throw stones at Xue's family!
Seeing Xue Jian's appearance, Situ Jin inevitably felt a little pitiful, and he said directly: "Forget it, what exactly is your Xue family responsible for in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Xue Jian only felt the turning point, and hurriedly said: "The Xue family is actually responsible for clothing materials, spices, and some jewelry! It's just that some new looms have been produced in the north this year. That side is stronger, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs has changed to require materials from the north, and as for the spices..." Xue Jian only felt confused, but he still said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent a message that it will be coming soon. It's all gone!"
Situ Jin hadn't heard of it before. After all, he rarely used spices. The only thing he knew was ambergris. Salixiang, now I know that ambergris has nothing to do with dragons, it's all from the body of some kind of whale.After losing this veil of mystery and increasing production, the attractiveness of ambergris is greatly reduced. However, there are actually many places to use it. After all, everyone knows the benefits of ambergris.
Situ Jin smiled, and said: "The matter of the spices is only temporary, so Patriarch Xue can rest assured, it's possible that this thing will be damaged if it is stored for a while!"
Xue Jian showed a slightly embarrassed and hopeful smile, hoping that Situ Jin would stop lying to him.
Originally, it was because of the "lingering" thing that caused such a thing that was almost like an army of grass and trees. In this year, incense can't be eradicated at all. If it is really poisonous, it can be put into charcoal in winter. As long as all aspects are mastered, there will be no problem.
Situ Jin said so, but Xue Jian didn't necessarily believe it, but Situ Jin made it clear that he was not willing to support Xue's family, so Xue Jian had to admit it.He didn't have any resentment at all. The Xue family had nothing to attract people's attention. If a prince like Situ Jin really wanted to make money, he didn't know how many people would come to his door with money, but No matter how you look at people like him, they all have a glamorous appearance, which only makes Xue Jian feel that he treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Situ Jin suddenly asked casually, "Patriarch Xue, has he ever heard of Luan Shen Hua?"
Xue Jian was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and asked with some uncertainty: "What His Highness said, is it a kind of red stems and leaves, white flowers, and black spots in the middle?"
Situ Jin nodded and asked, "Where has Patriarch Xue seen this kind of flower?"
Xue Jian thought for a while and said, "I saw this flower several years ago. I heard that it is a special product of a small island in the north. Someone mixed the flower of the gods with poppies to make blessings. I heard that It is more intoxicating than the drug cream made purely from poppies, and the taste is better!"
Situ Jin nodded and said, "Go back and see if Patriarch Xue can get some plants. I'm very interested in this!"
Xue Jian's spirits were lifted all of a sudden. He was not afraid of Situ Jin's orders, but he was afraid that he would not want anything. If the matter was really done, even if Situ Jin didn't directly protect the Xue family, as long as he showed an attitude, most people would He didn't dare to take the idea of Xue's family, so Xue Jian almost rejoiced and wanted to go back and ask someone to search for traces of Luan Shenhua.
The so-called Luanshen Flower is the main medicine for lingering. This thing looks almost ordinary, the color is average, the shape of the flower is not good-looking, and the fragrance is vague, not outstanding.However, the requirements for the growth environment of this thing are a bit harsh, and it is difficult to grow seeds, because it has a certain psychedelic effect. It is said that it was picked by some people who opened black shops and mixed with other medicines at the beginning. As a perspiration medicine, some people discovered later that when the dosage of Luanshenhua reached a certain level, it could make people irritable and irritable, thus, "lingering" was born.
Later, lingering became a banned drug. At that time, in order to prevent the scourge of lingering, the palace sent people directly to the place where the random god flower was produced, and burned all the random god flower there, who knew that this thing was actually overseas It can also grow on small islands.
After Situ Jin got the news, as soon as Jia Amnesty and Xue Jian left, she asked people to prepare chariots and horses, and went straight into the palace.
Hearing Situ Jin's words, the Holy Majesty frowned immediately: "It turned out to be overseas, could it be that those sea merchants were playing tricks?" Thinking that the news was actually brought by Xue Jian, the Holy Majesty felt a little bored.
Several generations of the Xue family have been appointed by the Holy Order to be in charge of the Jiangnan Tongzheng Department. It seems that their status is not high. Besides, nothing else happened, and the Holy Majesty would not be able to keep the Xue family.Now I am even more annoyed. Since Xue Jian met a few years ago, why is there no similar report on the secret package handed over by the Xue family?It can be seen that the Xue family doesn't care.
The Holy Majesty just vented his anger, how did the Xue family know about these things, such things as 'lingering' are not something that ordinary people have heard of, and as for Luan Shenhua and so on, no one would have thought of so many!
However, Situ Jin said: "Father, the problem now is not only the wild flowers, but also the longevity ointment!"
The Holy One was taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong with Fushou Gao?"
Situ Jin said directly: "A small amount of opium poppy can indeed relieve pain and relieve some symptoms, but if used in large quantities, it will be addictive, and it will cause devastating damage to people's body and mind. If you are really addicted, when you have an attack It can be said that the six relatives do not recognize each other, but if the so-called drugs spread in Jiangnan, I'm afraid the situation will be bad!"
The Holy Majesty didn't doubt Situ Jin's words. In fact, there has been such a thing as longevity ointment for a long time. Many doctors will use it to treat diseases, and even the Taiyuan Hospital uses this stuff, but generally the dosage is very small. The Holy Majesty's face darkened, and he said directly : "It is said that the Supreme Hospital is in judgment with the left and right courts!"
The judges of the Supreme Hospital and the left and right courts came over in fear, and then the Holy Majesty asked directly: "Tell me about the situation of Fushou Gao!"
Yuanzheng immediately felt relieved, and he said cautiously: "Fushou ointment is made from poppy fruit. Poppy rice is cold in nature, and it was originally used to treat nausea, abdominal pain, cough, etc. Mouth sharp throat and other effects, during the front court, if there is fatigue and cough, use millet husk to stop work; if dampness and heat drain, use it to stop astringency. However, although its effect of stopping disease is urgent, it kills people like a sword. If it is not urgent However, it can’t be used much!”
The left court judge also said: "Fushou ointment is indeed effective in relieving pain, diarrhea, cough and other symptoms, but in fact it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause! I have seen some people who take Fushou ointment for a long time, the whole person is prone to sleepiness, Crying, sweating, trembling and other symptoms, if you can’t take it again in time, it will almost look like madness, irrational!”
The right court judge also nodded again and again, saying that although he has never seen it before, the longevity ointment does not actually increase longevity. It is actually similar to the five stone powder refined by some alchemists, and has a certain degree of addiction. The damage to the body is even worse than that of Wushisan.
Hearing this, the Holy Majesty's expression was uncertain, and after dismissing the imperial physician, he called someone over and ordered: "Strictly investigate the matter of Jiangnan Fushou Ointment. If anyone is found to deliberately lure the people to take it, report it immediately!"
Situ Jin felt a little relieved when he heard the order from the Holy Majesty. He has a very deep understanding of all kinds of plants. When he was studying botany, he saw a description of poppies. Taking the so-called Fushou cream, there is no reason to stand by and watch. Naturally, before everyone has any dependence on it, let everyone tell everyone that this thing is not a good thing, and the court has to respond in time. Forbidden.
When there was no one else in the room, the Holy Majesty sighed and said, "The world is so big, there are always all kinds of troubles! Fortunately, Xiao Qi, you know about this, otherwise, if you really wait until this thing spreads Come on, I don't know what will happen!" Actually, the Holy One was just talking, he really didn't believe that the medicine would spread.After all, there are very few poppies planted on the land of Dajin. He also heard from the court just now that most of the medicines came from the south, mainly from Qianxiang and Hanhai.
As soon as he mentioned these two countries, His Majesty showed disgust on his face. These two countries have never been honest, and they can always make something happen.Your side hit the door, they surrendered faster than anyone else, and when your side withdrew, they jumped up again immediately.
In the past few years, Qianxiang Kingdom has changed its head, and it is relatively honest. You must know that when the previous head was alive, he did not feel less disgusted by the court, but because of the magnanimity of the great power of the celestial dynasty, you can't really treat it as thing.To put it bluntly, it is not cost-effective to fight against Qianxiang Kingdom. The terrain is complicated, and the climate is not very good. There is a lot of miasma.There are not enough benefits, and the cost is relatively high, and it is not easy to fight a war. Therefore, even if it feels disgusting, you can only bear it first.
As for the Hanhai Kingdom, it is considered a peninsula country, and it is not a thing of the past. In the past, there were incidents where Han Haiguo's army pretended to be pirates and attacked fishing villages, but now such incidents are relatively rare. The fishermen do not have much money. Instead of attacking fishing villages, Why not attack merchant ships!
The matter of Fushou cream has to wait until the investigation results come out. Now we are talking about the matter of Luan Shen Hua. Since this thing is not really extinct, since there are still people who will use Luan Shen Hua and poppy fruit to make an enhanced version of Fu Shou Ointment, then it means that there are not many of these things, and the Holy One immediately feels a sense of crisis.
Situ Yu couldn't get around this matter, Situ Yu was summoned by the Holy Majesty, and also came from the East Palace.
Hearing Situ Jin's explanation, Situ Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and then he said, "I'm going to trouble my seventh brother with this matter, and I will thank you very much later, second brother!"
Situ Jin smiled and said, "They're all my brothers, what's there to thank, I wonder if the second brother of the crown prince has any clues now?"
Situ Yu also had some headaches. He said helplessly, "I really don't have any clues for the time being, but since this thing came from overseas, let's check first and find out which merchants are going in that direction!" Said Situ Yu's expression was slightly gloomy, which showed that he didn't really find out anything.
Jia Amnesty led a group of his subordinates to toss around the capital for a long time before. Although he acted recklessly, he did find out something. Some of Situ Yu's subordinates really betrayed. Situ Yu inevitably had some thoughts in his mind.
Situ Yu felt that he treated his subordinates with the utmost benevolence and righteousness, and did not treat them badly. As a result, he raised these people so that they didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and on the contrary, they came up with some ideas that shouldn't be there.Of course, from Situ Yu's standpoint, he would never think that the other party was caught and coerced, so betraying him was a matter of course.Situ Yuji
The clues are already obvious, not to mention the fact that the incense burner was brought, Boshan furnace is not common in recent years, to imitate such a Boshan furnace, but also to imitate the old, it will take a lot of time and energy, and , the craftsmen needed will not be unknown people, ordinary craftsmen can't make that kind of charm at all.
Furthermore, how did the secret medicine that had been sealed in the imperial palace for more than 100 years come out? Moreover, let alone the secret medicine that has been made into a finished product, it is even a raw material. It is harmful to medicine!This kind of proprietary medicine can be stored for two or three years, so it is possible to expect it to be like some fine wine, getting better and better with age!Therefore, it must have been configured in the past few years.
Furthermore, the main drug of this thing has been missing for many years, even if the other party has a formula, how exactly is it prepared, where did the main drug come from, or in other words, did they find any substitutes.In particular, the preparation of this kind of medicine requires a lot of attention, and ordinary doctors can't do it. Even if it is the Heavenly King Buxin Pill and Ginseng Yangrong Pill that are often prepared by wealthy people, they have to find a master who specializes in this field. Waiting for the secret medicine, there are many particulars just looking at the formula, and if there is a slight difference, the efficacy of the medicine will drop a lot. Therefore, a person who can do this kind of thing must at least know a famous doctor who is proficient in concocting medicinal materials, and he must also be proficient in incense. .
With so many limitations, there are not many people who can get in touch with this thing. If you check carefully, you will naturally be able to find out the problem.
Situ Jin didn't expect that this matter would reach a deadlock. The Holy Majesty and Situ Yu both sent people to investigate, but in the end they both fell into a deadlock.
First, the officials who dedicated such a Boshan furnace to the East Palace did not wait for anyone to ask about it. The water ran out of the house, and the whole family was burned to the ground. No one escaped. The fire even spread half the street. The family was ruined because of this.At the end of the investigation, they didn't even know how the fire started. The Ministry of Criminal Justice investigated for a long time and concluded that the woman who was watching the night was drunk and accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, causing the fire to break out.But it was already the middle of the night at that time, everyone was sleeping soundly, and no abnormalities were found at all. By the time they were discovered, the fire had already spread.
This official's family is gone, and he tried to trace this line, but it was a failure.Houses these days are generally of earth-wood structure, but there are very few masonry structures, and a lot of wood is used. It is inevitable that the fire cannot be controlled. Therefore, even Shengshang and Situ Yu feel that there is something tricky inside, but for a while, The Ministry of Criminal Justice could not find any doubts.
It is also very cumbersome to trace the various ingredients in this spice. After all, many ingredients are actually very commonly used, that is, some common medicinal materials and spices, which are bought by many wealthy families, and those relatively rare medicinal materials. The channels of various medicinal material merchants and spice merchants have also flowed in more people, and it seems that there is no such motive after tracing.There are also several ingredients that are not originally owned by the Central Plains, some are from Southeast Asia, and some are from the Western Regions. It is even more difficult to trace these.
As for who is the beneficiary of the prince's madness, even if he knew it in his heart, the Holy Majesty couldn't ask someone to interrogate his other sons, right? Situ Yu couldn't get a foothold if it really came to that.
What's more, this matter couldn't be put on the table in the first place, so in the end, I had to ask someone to investigate it privately, and the people who investigated it publicly were removed.
And Situ Yu has given up the habit of burning incense now, even if the house needs incense or something, he just took fresh flowers and fruits and put them in the house. , I'm afraid this time may not be so lucky.
As for the Holy Majesty, the habit of incense has also been given up. Who knows that there are still such tricks? If someone concocts some even more terrifying spices and medicines, and puts them through incense burners, wouldn't it be death? Do not know how to die?
But the concubines in the harem are rather depressed. These days, fumigation of the house and clothes with spices is a routine operation. As a result, whoever fumigates the palace now, the Holy Majesty does not come, so what's the point of this fumigation!Many spices in the palace are no longer used, which saves the Ministry of Internal Affairs a lot of expenses. After all, spices are not cheap.Of course, the imperial merchants who are responsible for offering spices are more sad. Those high-end spices are no longer used by the ladies, who are they buying and selling to!
Situ Jin had no idea there were so many articles here until he received a gift from Jia Amnesty.
This generous gift was sent by Xue Jian, the head of the Xue family's generation, and it is indeed a generous gift!
If the conditions of the Xue family and the Wang family of the Jia family were actually similar in the previous dynasty, it is already a world of difference now.The Xue family was originally a businessman, and they always paid attention to safety. Therefore, the Xue family offered their family property at that time, and the Xue family could not do anything else.
When the new dynasty was established, the ancestors of the Xue family were granted the title of Ziwei Sheren, and then received the position of the Imperial Merchant. The previous investment was returned thousands of times and hundreds of times.As an imperial merchant, the Xue family is responsible for supplying the palace with cloth, spices and other things, and now there are big problems.The looms Situ Jin made and the better cotton cloth that the Xue family brought up as tributes cost too much on the one hand, and on the other hand they were a bit eclipsed, not to mention the spices. The home is on the verge of collapse.
Naturally, the Xue family didn't know the situation in the palace, only that the Holy One and the Crown Prince suddenly didn't like incense. Therefore, if there is something good at the top, it must be followed by the bottom. Naturally, others have followed suit. Since no one uses it, Who has nothing to do with a bunch of spices.
Even if the Xue family's main business is not only this, they have almost all kinds of shops and do all kinds of industries, but the identity of the imperial merchant is a protective umbrella for the Xue family. Whether it can be saved is still a question.
The Xue family is also helpless. Although they are old relatives with the Jia family and the Wang family, they have been friends for several lifetimes, but after the Ziwei Sheren position is gone, the Xue family has no such qualifications at all except for the name of an imperial merchant. I have been in contact with several old relatives who were originally knighted.After all, Xue Jian, the successor of the Xue family, spent a lot of money to get in touch with the Wang family and marry the daughter of the Wang family. As a result, the talent from here passed through the family, and the Wang family had an accident.
The Xue family doesn't have the confidence of the Jia family, even the Jia family, after a while, they didn't really treat the Wang family. Naturally, the Xue family couldn't really abandon the little Wang family, but the merchant Putting interests first, Xue Jian later took in a second wife, who was the daughter of another imperial merchant.
As a result, a few years later, this matter became embarrassing again, and Wang Ziteng got up again. Wang Ziteng couldn't do anything about Jia's family, and he couldn't do anything about Xue's family. Xue's family had some unruly transactions at the border, but Wang Ziteng disturbed them. , the way is broken.
The Xue family is now in a worse situation. If the problem is not solved, the living space will be squeezed by other imperial merchants.In particular, the Xue family has twelve houses in Jinling, and they have always contributed capital to do business together. Now that the Xue family has suffered several setbacks, several houses have expressed that they want to take out their own members and start their own business, especially the powerful ones. Jifang has been eyeing the number of imperial merchants for a long time. If the main branch can't do well, some people want to do it.
Xue Jian ran to the capital this time because he wanted to find a way out. Wang Ziteng was indifferent to Xue's family. A few years ago, Xue Jian's family was actually called the second-bedroom head of the family. Xue Jian, who is relatively weak, and has no natal family to rely on, has suffered a lot of grievances. Now, Xue Jian has even given birth to the eldest son of the concubine, and Xiao Wang has not yet conceived.If Wang Ziteng was willing to give this brother-in-law a good face, it would be hell. Therefore, after Xue Jian came to the door, Wang Ziteng said a few perfunctory words, saying that he could not help, and sent him away.
Jia Zheng and him were brother-in-law after all, so Xue Jian immediately went to Jia's house to visit.Jia Daishan still knows something about the Xue family. The Xue family was originally in the south of the Yangtze River and was in charge of a part of the Department of General Affairs. However, the Xue family also had selfish intentions about the customs before. The Xue family also had a fleet of ships to go to sea. Otherwise, where did their family's spices and gems from Nanyang come from? Naturally, they kept the matter of the maritime merchants a secret. The Holy One was displeased. Although he didn't ask the crime directly, he also took away the Xue family's position in the Secretary of General Administration.In order to keep Xue's family, Xue Jian's father also committed suicide by taking poison directly, so as not to make His Majesty suspicious, Xue's family stayed behind in the Department of General Affairs.
Xue Jian didn't know anything about the Secretary of General Administration. His father didn't say a word before his sudden death. However, Xue Jian could also guess that the Xue family must have offended someone who could not be offended, so that his father wanted to keep Xue Jian. Home, had to die!Leaving Xue Jian behind would be exhausted, so he had to rush to the capital to find a way out.
Jia Daishan can understand the Xue family's choice, but since something went wrong, he will naturally have to bear the consequences.
Jia Daishan didn't give any guidance. Xue Jian, who was depressed, went to the doctor in a hurry and went to Jia She. He hoped that Jia She would be a middle man. He wanted to simply rely on Situ Jin, the Prince of Fengyu.
In the Central Plains, merchants have always been very rich, but in general, when they encounter power, the little money of merchants not only does not bring them any sense of security, but is the root of trouble.
The Xue family lost their job as the Secretary of General Affairs, and the position of the Imperial Merchant was also in jeopardy. If they didn't find a reliable backer, they wouldn't be able to survive.The Xue family wanted to seek refuge with the prince, but Xue Jian was somewhat self-aware. What's more, the battle for the prince's succession had begun to heat up. beated.
Therefore, after counting and counting, it is more cost-effective to choose Prince Fengyu. Although Xue Jian also felt that Prince Fengyu might not like the Xue family, but no matter what, he had to give it a try, right?
Therefore, in order to impress Jia She to be the middleman, Xue Jian spent a lot of money, and directly found a set of flower and bird fans hand-painted by the famous masters of the former dynasty, which made Jia She's heart itch, and finally bit the bullet and found Situ Jin. Here it comes.
Situ Jin knew at a glance that Jia Amnesty must have received a benefit that could not be refused, so she couldn't help laughing, and asked, "What benefit did you accept, you have to share it with me!"
Jia She's expression turned bitter immediately, and he said, "Your Highness, you can do anything else, this time it's my heart!"
Situ Jin understood immediately, and couldn't help laughing: "What kind of ancient fan is it?"
Jia She nodded, and said with great interest: "This is the handwriting of that Xiya layman from the previous dynasty, and he is best at flowers and birds. The brushwork and gestures are simply amazing! Alas, Your Highness, I am here today. If you didn’t bring it, I’ll bring it back for you to enjoy!”
Situ Jin nodded, Xiya Layman is from a certain family in Shandong, and was originally an official in the court. After his wife died, he resigned from office and went back to the mountains. He called himself Xiya Layman. Not too much, it was not easy for Xue Jian to get a whole set of ancient fans drawn by him at once.
Jia She looked at Situ Jin eagerly, and asked tentatively, "Then, what about Xue Jian, Your Highness?"
Situ Jin counted the time and said, "Let him come over tomorrow!"
Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief immediately. Since Situ Jin was relieved, no matter whether the matter was accomplished or not, his mission was successfully completed, and the fan was no longer hot. His Highness is gone, I will also collect some rare things for His Highness later, His Highness just treat it as a fun and take a look!"
Situ Jin smiled and said: "Okay, you go back and look at your fan yourself, be careful that Rong Guogong finds out and beats you!"
Jia Shen's face suddenly became bitter, and then showed a trace of worry: "Oh, my old man is not as good as before. Now he wants to beat me himself, but he is almost unable to beat me!"
Situ Jin was silent for a moment. Jia Daishan submitted a report last year to retire, but the Holy One never allowed it. Jia Daishan was as old as the Holy One, and he was not even fifty yet. As a result, because of those things when he was young, it seems so simple now. Ten years older than the Holy One, the Holy One looked at it, there is no reason not to be sentimental.Seeing these people of the same age begin to age, the Holy Majesty naturally felt melancholy, so he valued these old people more and more.
Jia She cheered himself up and said: "Forget it, I have to go back quickly. The old man has always looked at us sons disliked. Whenever he saw us, he would blow his beard and stare. I don't want to annoy him! Your Highness, the little minister will go to the office first." Retire!"
Situ Jin waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can bring Xue Jian over here tomorrow!"
Jia She nodded. After all, Xue Jian was recommended by him, so naturally he had to bring Xue Jian here later.
Jia Amnesty left, but Jia Jing got the news and came to see him not long after, and said: "His Royal Highness, Enhou sometimes has an inconsiderate temper. If he has any inappropriate requests, Your Highness should not accept them." Compete with him!"
Jia Jing naturally knew that Xue's family came to Beijing to pay a visit to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Amnesty's running over this time was inevitably related to Xue's family. It’s a merchant, so there’s no need for His Highness to condescend to meet you!” Jia Amnesty said in a subtle manner, he almost didn’t say that the Xue family is not worthy of loyalty to a prince like you. what?Maybe it's just trouble.
Situ Jin waved her hand and said, "I just saw it, as for what to do, I have to see it!"
Jia Jing thought for a while, and seeing that Situ Jin was about the same age as his own son, he suddenly felt helpless. Before, he saw that Situ Jin was very capable and knowledgeable, but now he saw that Situ Jin was still a little childish. However, He made up his mind that if the Xue family came up with any unreasonable ideas tomorrow, they must let the Xue family know what measure is.
Jia Jing also thinks too much. Situ Jin really has no interest in money or anything else. Ordinary money is nothing to a person like him. A practitioner who wants to make money is really nothing. It couldn't be simpler. Situ Jin also has a multi-dimensional forum in his hand. As long as he is willing, the gold and silver he can take out can greatly depreciate the gold and silver on the market.What could the Xue family have that attracted Situ Jin?It's just that when Situ Jin heard the word Xue, he just had a whim.
Situ Jin already had a feeling for something similar to fate in this world. In his feeling, both the Jia family and the Xue family seemed to be involved in this seemingly established fate, but this also It's not very obvious, and there are certain variables in it.
Situ Jin is very interested in this. He really wants to know whether the fate of this world is determined by the so-called heaven. If so, what should his own fate be like?
Situ Jin pays more attention to the names that can arouse his feelings. He really wants to know what kind of fate these people should have. If he pushes them, the fate will slide in the predetermined direction. , it will still deviate, and if it deviates, what will happen in the end? Situ Jin is really curious about this.
Because of this curiosity, Situ Jin was happy to meet Xue Jian, the head of the Xue family, whom he had never heard of before.
Xue Jian was very nervous. After he got the news of Jia Amnesty, he was preparing to meet Situ Jin. In the morning, he had to toss about the clothes.In the past, the Xue family had some embarrassing identities. They said they were merchants, or imperial merchants, and they were secretly in charge of the General Secretary, so they usually didn't pay attention to their clothes.However, it doesn’t matter if you live in the south of the Yangtze River. The south of the Yangtze River is prosperous. Although there are regulations in the court etiquette system, ordinary people are not allowed to wear gold hairpins on their heads, but this kind of thing has never been done by the people. It's nothing to buy some nobile hairpins for your family members!As for merchants, ordinary merchants are not allowed to wear silk according to etiquette, but the Xue family dared to wear some tributes.
Xue Jian has been cautious since his father died, especially since he was ridiculed before, but now he cares about it very much. Therefore, when he came over, he was wearing a brown cocoon robe with a He didn't dare to wear any overly eye-catching accessories, and his head was tied with an ordinary wooden hairpin, which looked very low-key.Jia Amnesty curled his lips when he saw it, thinking that Xue Jian was too careful.
Situ Jin doesn't know as much about these things as Xue Jian. With his current status, he has almost no taboos except that he can't wear bright yellow and apricot yellow, and can't have five-clawed dragons on his usual utensils. Therefore, he Don't care about these at all.
Although Xue Jian looks a little thin, probably because of his physical and mental exhaustion these days, he always has a slightly humble smile on his face, which makes people feel more comfortable.He respectfully saluted Situ Jin: "Xiaomin pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Fengyu!"
Situ Jin nodded slightly, and said, "Excuse me, sit down!"
Xue Jian carefully slanted his body and sat down under Jia Amnesty's hand, then lowered his head slightly, looking at Situ Jin who was doing it from the corner of his eye.
Although Situ Jin developed a little earlier than his peers, he still looked like a young boy, but his face was like jade, and there seemed to be fluorescent lights on his skin. He sat on a chair with a slightly The leisurely and almost lazy meaning does not make people feel contemptuous, but it is a matter of course.Xue Jian suddenly remembered the folk legends about this prince, saying that this prince is a true immortal from the upper world, and now it seems that he really looks like an exiled immortal, and he suddenly felt a little ashamed, thinking about his own plans , I feel that it is no different from blasphemy.
Situ Jin didn't feel anything strange about Xue Jian, but it's nothing, maybe it hasn't come yet, so Situ Jin just said: "Patriarch Xue sent a generous gift yesterday, what is the purpose?"
Xue Jian was choked up immediately, why don't you be so direct, can everyone have a pleasant exchange, shouldn't you beat around the bush a little bit, but I just sat down here, and I haven't thought about the words, so you come here , You brought a heavy gift here, is there anything you want?This made Xue Jian very uncomfortable.
Situ Jin didn't bother to waste time when she found out that she couldn't get more information from Xue Jian. Therefore, she naturally didn't consider Xue Jian's mood. After Xue Jian calmed down, he got up and saluted. Said: "Your Highness, just call me Xue Jian! Xue Jian implores His Highness to protect the Xue family, the Xue family is willing to donate half of the family property, and [-]% of future profits to His Highness!"
How could Situ Jin be interested in the Xue family's property, so he waved his hand directly and said, "What do I want the Xue family's property for?"
Xue Jian suddenly became a little anxious, and quickly said: "Whatever your Highness wants, even if you tell Xiaomin, Xiaomin is willing to serve His Highness if he searches the world poorly!"
Jia Amnesty glanced at Xue Jian and sneered. With Situ Jin's current status, there are many people who want something and are willing to search the world for him!It is the Holy One, as long as Situ Jin says what he wants, the Holy Majesty will definitely not discount it at all, and even exceed Situ Jin's request.
It's just that Situ Jin doesn't seem to be very interested in these things. What he's really interested in are some magical tools, and Taoist and Buddhist classics. It can't be ordinary classics, it's better to be the manuscripts of sages .How can a businessman from the Xue family get these things!Some fundamental classics of Taoism, even if the Holy One asks for it himself, they may not necessarily give it to them!
After Xue Jian heard Jia She's sneer, he immediately understood. He just felt dejected. Situ Jin didn't like Xue's family property. As for other things, he might not be able to get it. How can I impress this prince?
Situ Jin said directly: "Patriarch Xue is also an imperial merchant after all, so maybe the court can't protect you anymore! So, don't mention these words anymore! Patriarch Xue should take back yesterday's gift too!"
Xue Jian knelt down with a plop, and begged, "Your Highness, Xue Jian is taking the liberty. That gift is Xue Jian's wish, and please accept it!" If Situ Jin returned Xue Jian's gift, If it gets out, I don't know how many people will throw stones at Xue's family!
Seeing Xue Jian's appearance, Situ Jin inevitably felt a little pitiful, and he said directly: "Forget it, what exactly is your Xue family responsible for in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Xue Jian only felt the turning point, and hurriedly said: "The Xue family is actually responsible for clothing materials, spices, and some jewelry! It's just that some new looms have been produced in the north this year. That side is stronger, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs has changed to require materials from the north, and as for the spices..." Xue Jian only felt confused, but he still said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs just sent a message that it will be coming soon. It's all gone!"
Situ Jin hadn't heard of it before. After all, he rarely used spices. The only thing he knew was ambergris. Salixiang, now I know that ambergris has nothing to do with dragons, it's all from the body of some kind of whale.After losing this veil of mystery and increasing production, the attractiveness of ambergris is greatly reduced. However, there are actually many places to use it. After all, everyone knows the benefits of ambergris.
Situ Jin smiled, and said: "The matter of the spices is only temporary, so Patriarch Xue can rest assured, it's possible that this thing will be damaged if it is stored for a while!"
Xue Jian showed a slightly embarrassed and hopeful smile, hoping that Situ Jin would stop lying to him.
Originally, it was because of the "lingering" thing that caused such a thing that was almost like an army of grass and trees. In this year, incense can't be eradicated at all. If it is really poisonous, it can be put into charcoal in winter. As long as all aspects are mastered, there will be no problem.
Situ Jin said so, but Xue Jian didn't necessarily believe it, but Situ Jin made it clear that he was not willing to support Xue's family, so Xue Jian had to admit it.He didn't have any resentment at all. The Xue family had nothing to attract people's attention. If a prince like Situ Jin really wanted to make money, he didn't know how many people would come to his door with money, but No matter how you look at people like him, they all have a glamorous appearance, which only makes Xue Jian feel that he treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Situ Jin suddenly asked casually, "Patriarch Xue, has he ever heard of Luan Shen Hua?"
Xue Jian was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and asked with some uncertainty: "What His Highness said, is it a kind of red stems and leaves, white flowers, and black spots in the middle?"
Situ Jin nodded and asked, "Where has Patriarch Xue seen this kind of flower?"
Xue Jian thought for a while and said, "I saw this flower several years ago. I heard that it is a special product of a small island in the north. Someone mixed the flower of the gods with poppies to make blessings. I heard that It is more intoxicating than the drug cream made purely from poppies, and the taste is better!"
Situ Jin nodded and said, "Go back and see if Patriarch Xue can get some plants. I'm very interested in this!"
Xue Jian's spirits were lifted all of a sudden. He was not afraid of Situ Jin's orders, but he was afraid that he would not want anything. If the matter was really done, even if Situ Jin didn't directly protect the Xue family, as long as he showed an attitude, most people would He didn't dare to take the idea of Xue's family, so Xue Jian almost rejoiced and wanted to go back and ask someone to search for traces of Luan Shenhua.
The so-called Luanshen Flower is the main medicine for lingering. This thing looks almost ordinary, the color is average, the shape of the flower is not good-looking, and the fragrance is vague, not outstanding.However, the requirements for the growth environment of this thing are a bit harsh, and it is difficult to grow seeds, because it has a certain psychedelic effect. It is said that it was picked by some people who opened black shops and mixed with other medicines at the beginning. As a perspiration medicine, some people discovered later that when the dosage of Luanshenhua reached a certain level, it could make people irritable and irritable, thus, "lingering" was born.
Later, lingering became a banned drug. At that time, in order to prevent the scourge of lingering, the palace sent people directly to the place where the random god flower was produced, and burned all the random god flower there, who knew that this thing was actually overseas It can also grow on small islands.
After Situ Jin got the news, as soon as Jia Amnesty and Xue Jian left, she asked people to prepare chariots and horses, and went straight into the palace.
Hearing Situ Jin's words, the Holy Majesty frowned immediately: "It turned out to be overseas, could it be that those sea merchants were playing tricks?" Thinking that the news was actually brought by Xue Jian, the Holy Majesty felt a little bored.
Several generations of the Xue family have been appointed by the Holy Order to be in charge of the Jiangnan Tongzheng Department. It seems that their status is not high. Besides, nothing else happened, and the Holy Majesty would not be able to keep the Xue family.Now I am even more annoyed. Since Xue Jian met a few years ago, why is there no similar report on the secret package handed over by the Xue family?It can be seen that the Xue family doesn't care.
The Holy Majesty just vented his anger, how did the Xue family know about these things, such things as 'lingering' are not something that ordinary people have heard of, and as for Luan Shenhua and so on, no one would have thought of so many!
However, Situ Jin said: "Father, the problem now is not only the wild flowers, but also the longevity ointment!"
The Holy One was taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong with Fushou Gao?"
Situ Jin said directly: "A small amount of opium poppy can indeed relieve pain and relieve some symptoms, but if used in large quantities, it will be addictive, and it will cause devastating damage to people's body and mind. If you are really addicted, when you have an attack It can be said that the six relatives do not recognize each other, but if the so-called drugs spread in Jiangnan, I'm afraid the situation will be bad!"
The Holy Majesty didn't doubt Situ Jin's words. In fact, there has been such a thing as longevity ointment for a long time. Many doctors will use it to treat diseases, and even the Taiyuan Hospital uses this stuff, but generally the dosage is very small. The Holy Majesty's face darkened, and he said directly : "It is said that the Supreme Hospital is in judgment with the left and right courts!"
The judges of the Supreme Hospital and the left and right courts came over in fear, and then the Holy Majesty asked directly: "Tell me about the situation of Fushou Gao!"
Yuanzheng immediately felt relieved, and he said cautiously: "Fushou ointment is made from poppy fruit. Poppy rice is cold in nature, and it was originally used to treat nausea, abdominal pain, cough, etc. Mouth sharp throat and other effects, during the front court, if there is fatigue and cough, use millet husk to stop work; if dampness and heat drain, use it to stop astringency. However, although its effect of stopping disease is urgent, it kills people like a sword. If it is not urgent However, it can’t be used much!”
The left court judge also said: "Fushou ointment is indeed effective in relieving pain, diarrhea, cough and other symptoms, but in fact it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause! I have seen some people who take Fushou ointment for a long time, the whole person is prone to sleepiness, Crying, sweating, trembling and other symptoms, if you can’t take it again in time, it will almost look like madness, irrational!”
The right court judge also nodded again and again, saying that although he has never seen it before, the longevity ointment does not actually increase longevity. It is actually similar to the five stone powder refined by some alchemists, and has a certain degree of addiction. The damage to the body is even worse than that of Wushisan.
Hearing this, the Holy Majesty's expression was uncertain, and after dismissing the imperial physician, he called someone over and ordered: "Strictly investigate the matter of Jiangnan Fushou Ointment. If anyone is found to deliberately lure the people to take it, report it immediately!"
Situ Jin felt a little relieved when he heard the order from the Holy Majesty. He has a very deep understanding of all kinds of plants. When he was studying botany, he saw a description of poppies. Taking the so-called Fushou cream, there is no reason to stand by and watch. Naturally, before everyone has any dependence on it, let everyone tell everyone that this thing is not a good thing, and the court has to respond in time. Forbidden.
When there was no one else in the room, the Holy Majesty sighed and said, "The world is so big, there are always all kinds of troubles! Fortunately, Xiao Qi, you know about this, otherwise, if you really wait until this thing spreads Come on, I don't know what will happen!" Actually, the Holy One was just talking, he really didn't believe that the medicine would spread.After all, there are very few poppies planted on the land of Dajin. He also heard from the court just now that most of the medicines came from the south, mainly from Qianxiang and Hanhai.
As soon as he mentioned these two countries, His Majesty showed disgust on his face. These two countries have never been honest, and they can always make something happen.Your side hit the door, they surrendered faster than anyone else, and when your side withdrew, they jumped up again immediately.
In the past few years, Qianxiang Kingdom has changed its head, and it is relatively honest. You must know that when the previous head was alive, he did not feel less disgusted by the court, but because of the magnanimity of the great power of the celestial dynasty, you can't really treat it as thing.To put it bluntly, it is not cost-effective to fight against Qianxiang Kingdom. The terrain is complicated, and the climate is not very good. There is a lot of miasma.There are not enough benefits, and the cost is relatively high, and it is not easy to fight a war. Therefore, even if it feels disgusting, you can only bear it first.
As for the Hanhai Kingdom, it is considered a peninsula country, and it is not a thing of the past. In the past, there were incidents where Han Haiguo's army pretended to be pirates and attacked fishing villages, but now such incidents are relatively rare. The fishermen do not have much money. Instead of attacking fishing villages, Why not attack merchant ships!
The matter of Fushou cream has to wait until the investigation results come out. Now we are talking about the matter of Luan Shen Hua. Since this thing is not really extinct, since there are still people who will use Luan Shen Hua and poppy fruit to make an enhanced version of Fu Shou Ointment, then it means that there are not many of these things, and the Holy One immediately feels a sense of crisis.
Situ Yu couldn't get around this matter, Situ Yu was summoned by the Holy Majesty, and also came from the East Palace.
Hearing Situ Jin's explanation, Situ Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and then he said, "I'm going to trouble my seventh brother with this matter, and I will thank you very much later, second brother!"
Situ Jin smiled and said, "They're all my brothers, what's there to thank, I wonder if the second brother of the crown prince has any clues now?"
Situ Yu also had some headaches. He said helplessly, "I really don't have any clues for the time being, but since this thing came from overseas, let's check first and find out which merchants are going in that direction!" Said Situ Yu's expression was slightly gloomy, which showed that he didn't really find out anything.
Jia Amnesty led a group of his subordinates to toss around the capital for a long time before. Although he acted recklessly, he did find out something. Some of Situ Yu's subordinates really betrayed. Situ Yu inevitably had some thoughts in his mind.
Situ Yu felt that he treated his subordinates with the utmost benevolence and righteousness, and did not treat them badly. As a result, he raised these people so that they didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and on the contrary, they came up with some ideas that shouldn't be there.Of course, from Situ Yu's standpoint, he would never think that the other party was caught and coerced, so betraying him was a matter of course.Situ Yuji
