Great Song

With the reward and the new title, Zhen Qiong returned home happily, and when she saw Han Miao, she said, "Brother Miao is right! This heart-protecting pill really works. The officials gave me a Taoist temple and sealed me up." Be a Cleric of Ling Xiao!"

"Qiong'er is so capable, of course the officials value it." Han Miao asked with a smile, "Which Taoist temple is given to you?"

"It's called Baoying Temple, but I don't know where it is. Is the place big enough?" Zhen Qiong really didn't know where Baoying Temple was, and said with some expectation.

"It turned out to be Baoying Temple. This Taoist temple is located in the northern suburbs, and it was the golden alchemy gate in the Later Zhou Dynasty. It has been deserted for many years." Han Miao asked thoughtfully, "You said you want to set up an alchemy room. Did anyone say something?"

"Su Supervisor said that I am capable and should teach the Dharma." Zhen Qiong didn't forget Su Song's kind words, and hurriedly said.

Han Miao raised his eyebrows. This remonstrance has been said.It looks like recommending talents, but it actually makes the emperor pay attention to what Zhen Qiong knows.If it's just refining a heart-protecting pill, what's the difference with a pharmacist?But it is quite different to teach the science of nature in a legitimate way.A secret method that only one person knows is always a little unreliable.Preaching and teaching the Dharma can dispel the suspicion and doubts of the emperor.In the future, everyone Qiong'er teaches will become his help, and at the same time, they will also be useful talents that the emperor can command.

The granting of Taoist temples and titles is to bring this new sect into supervision.In the future, if Zhen Qiong researches anything that involves confidentiality, it can be kept secret so that it will not be leaked easily.

What Su Song said was to point out what he was thinking in front of the emperor, so that he could spend less effort.However, it should be arranged in advance.

Han Miao smiled again and said: "From now on, Qiong'er will be a person with a Taoist temple. For such a big Guanyu, there must be someone to take care of it. I can send some people to help you manage the outer courtyard. But the alchemy room in the inner courtyard has to be taken care of." Use someone you can trust. I wonder if Qiong Er has someone to choose?"

After a pause, he added another sentence: "Forget about your cheap master. You have the name of master and apprentice for nothing, and it's hard to deal with it when it comes."

In fact, whether to deal with it well or not is the second priority. The man took Qiong Er's tofu soup recipe and kicked him out.Never use it.

That stingy old Taoist doesn't understand anything, how can he give him his good alchemy?Zhen Qiong immediately thought of someone: "Chi Liaozi in the Changchun Temple is not bad as a master, and alchemy is also good. Can you invite him over?"

Zhen Qiong noticed it when he was discussing alchemy with Chi Liaozi.Although the other party seems to be from the herbal school, but they are basically from the same line of fortune, so they can be regarded as the same way.It is also a master of the Daoist Temple, and it should be possible to manage a pill room, right?

"Then write a memorial and let the emperor invite him to Beijing." Han Miao laughed.Now that Zhen Qiong is already a priest personally appointed by the emperor, even the alchemist of Changchun temple cannot be overwhelmed.And he was watching, not letting an outsider take advantage of Qiong'er.

Zhen Qiong nodded excitedly: "I have also taken a fancy to a few craftsmen in the Military Weapons Supervision, can we get them back together?"

"Naturally." Han Miao shook his head and smiled when he saw his eager eyes. "From now on, you will be a priest appointed by the Son of Heaven. Others are eager to enter your Taoist temple. There is no need to worry about this kind of thing."

In terms of personnel, there are not many things to worry about, and other things need to be well arranged.

Han Miao said again: "Your Taoist temple, although it is said to study the Dao of Good Fortune, does not set up incense. But the outer courtyard must be well maintained. In addition to the heart-protecting pill, the lightning rod mentioned earlier can also be sold in the outer courtyard. "

Zhen Qiong's eyes widened immediately: "Didn't I get the appropriation from the imperial court? Can I still do business?"

He thought that he could use the name of Huxin Pill to deceive a big pill house, and the imperial court appropriation would be enough, but he could still sell things?

"Why not?" Han Miao asked back with a smile, "Could it be that the Tian family can monopolize life-saving medicines like Huxin Pill? It needs to be refined in a Taoist temple, but the medicine is too easy to explode, so it's not easy to spread it. Someone will come to ask for it." Come here. Don't worry, the emperor still wants to use you, and I won't take this little money to heart."

Zhen Qiong's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but twitch a little: "Then, don't sell the heart-protecting pill too expensive."

After all, it is spending the imperial court's money, and selling the pills at sky-high prices doesn't seem very good.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Qiong would say that, Han Miao nodded slightly: "It's better like this."

How much life-saving medicine sells is not too much.However, at this moment, Han Miao asked Zhen Qiong to sell pills or lightning rods, not for money, but for fame.Even though he already has the Taoist temple and title bestowed by the emperor, Zhen Qiong is still an unknown junior. How many people in the market know his name?And saving lives and lightning protection are the best means of making a name for yourself.The nickname of "True Thunder Lord" should be known to more people.

In this way, the planning of the Taoist temple is properly arranged, and the rest of the details can be discussed.Han Miao said to Zhen Qiong again: "Let's go to the Taoist temple tomorrow, so I can buy a house nearby."

"Ah? Why did you buy a house again?" Zhen Qiong asked in confusion.

"Qiong'er will live in the Taoist temple permanently, and Baoying Temple is so far away. Do you want me to stay alone in the empty boudoir?" Han Miao showed an unbelievable look.

Zhen Qiong rushed over to comfort her and said, "Buy, buy, buy! I'll build a house in the Taoist temple later, just the two of us!"

Seeing that he was still the same as before, Han Miao felt relieved, picked him up, and kissed him with a smile: "Qioner will also be the master of the temple in the future, and I will rely on your wings."

Hey, he loves to hear that!Zhen Qiong kissed back, her happy face cracked with laughter: "Don't worry, brother Miao, I will protect you from now on!"

■

The memorials for applying for dignitaries and buying medicines were delivered to the emperor the next day.Zhao Xu looked at it and had no objection.After all, this heart-protecting pill is a life-saving medicine, how can it be monopolized by the Tian family?Not to mention the explosives and copper ore provided by Zhen Qiong, just like improving the iron-making method in the military inspection department, I don't know how much money it saved for the court.There is really no need to study this petty profit.

What is rare is that the price of the heart protection pill written by Zhen Qiong in the memorial is much cheaper than expected.Zhao Xu also knew that making this medicine was at the risk of exchanging his life for his life.Being able to offer such a price is not for making money, but for helping the world.It is also beneficial to the reputation of the heavenly family.

So Zhao Xu issued a reply.As long as it is not something that is forbidden to spread, Baoying Temple can buy and sell by itself, and the imperial court does not interfere.In addition to salary and rewards, any medicines and equipment needed are provided by the third department.

After getting the news, Zhen Qiong was overjoyed and took Han Miao to see the new Taoist temple.By the way, let me advise on the construction of the alchemy room.The alchemy house to be rebuilt this time must be designed according to the highest specifications, and it must also be equipped with lightning rods and asbestos tiles, so that fire and lightning protection are all available!

Zhen Qiong happily arranged the alchemy room, and the documents summoned by the emperor were also sent to Xiangzhou with the posthorse.

Chi Liaozi was really surprised when he received the edict.Why would the priest Ling Xiao, appointed by the emperor himself, invite him to Beijing?Baoying Temple is a grand temple, and it can be regarded as one of the golden alchemy gates of the previous dynasty. Compared with Changchun Temple, it is better than Changchun Temple.As a refiner, how could Chi Liaozi refuse such an opportunity to rise to the top?

Having made up his mind, Chi Liaozi didn't dare to bring too many people, he only chose Duan Xuanshuang, the youngest closed disciple, and rushed to the capital with the envoys.With apprehension in mind, the master and apprentice came to Baoying Temple.This Guanyu is located in the northern suburbs, a little remote.Although it has been in disrepair for a long time, the gate looks a little dilapidated, but there are craftsmen who come and go to repair the house, obviously to rebuild Guanyu.This is a temple under the feet of the emperor, as long as he can be appreciated by the master of the temple, he will definitely be able to stand out!

Chi Liaozi straightened his clothes and assumed a dignified posture.However, when the temple master walked out of the house, even though he had experienced many things in the world, he couldn't help being stupid on the spot.

When Zhen Qiong saw an acquaintance, she greeted familiarly: "Master Uncle finally came. He has been repairing the alchemy room for the past two days, but he is so busy."

Opening his mouth, Chi Liaozi squeezed out a sentence: "How did you become a priest of Ling Xiao?"

Originally thought that Clerk Ling Xiao was someone with high skills, but who would have expected it to be this trail.How could Chi Liaozi not be surprised?

"Naturally, my Dao has been recognized by the emperor." Zhen Qiong puffed out her chest proudly.He did not forget Chi Liaozi's doubts back then.Hehe, now it can be proved that his Dao is better than ordinary alchemy, right?

Chi Liaozi knew that Zhen Qiong's alchemy was extraordinary, but how could he have imagined that in just two years, he would become the emperor's guest and gain such a big Taoist temple!Wait, what on earth did he ask him to do?

"Ling, isn't Ling Xiaozi a seasoned pastime?" Chi Liaozi's lips trembled.No matter what he said, he was also a cultivator. Even if he longed to go to the capital for a grand view, he would not let go of his self-esteem and let others humiliate him.

"Master and uncle, don't think wrong." Zhen Qiong hurriedly said, "This Taoist temple will accept apprentices in the future, how can I be busy alone? Your alchemy is not bad, and you don't like alchemy. Why don't you follow me?" Let’s practice the Way of Creation together, maybe we will be famous in history in the future!”

Although he has only been with Chi Liaozi for half a month, Zhen Qiong also knows that this old Taoist has doubts about the Dao of Longevity, but he loves alchemy very much, and he is always troubled.If not, Zhen Qiong wouldn't dare to recruit people here.If one avenue doesn’t work, just switch to another one.With Chi Liaozi by his side, he also has people discussing alchemy, which is much better than Shen Kuo and Su Song who digress at every turn!

There was no pretense on Zhen Qiong's face, only a desire for the great way.Chi Liaozi's face slowly calmed down, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "I also have an inheritance, so I can't enter your gate wall. But alchemy is what I have been pursuing all my life. If Ling Xiaozi doesn't give up, the old Taoist is willing to make alchemy here , follow the master to explore the avenue."

Zhen Qiong was not surprised by this request.After all, he is from the herbal sect, so it is a ghost to be able to easily agree with him, the Jinshi sect.But since Da Song is the only one who understands the Dao of Good Fortune, then it doesn't matter what gold, stone, water, fire, and herbs are all under the door!The integration of the three factions is almost the same as that of the Good Fortune Dao at the beginning. Thinking about it makes people a little excited.

"As long as the master and uncle are willing to stay." Zhen Qiong said happily.

"What the master learned is not from the old school. It's better not to mention the 'teacher's uncle'. From now on, you and I can just talk about each other as equals." Chi Liaozi didn't dare to pretend to be an elder anymore, and turned his head to his disciple and said, " Xuanshuang, from now on, you also have to address the temple master as 'Master Uncle', don't be negligent."

Duan Xuanshuang: "???"

How come it's only been an hour since I entered Beijing, and my seniority has been dropped by three ranks?However, the mentor has an order, how dare he not listen?Squeezing out a smile forcefully, Duan Xuanshuang said with a mournful face: "Xuanshuang sees Master Uncle."

Hey, it's better to be called Master Uncle!Smiling, Zhen Qiong took out a kaleidoscope from her sleeve and handed it over: "Uncle Master didn't bring any good things either, let's play with it."

Duan Xuanshuang: "..."

Can he go now? QAQ
