Chapter 383 Land planning and location selection
In Dunyu, he also saw a drunk climb up the drain to pee.
The problem with the culvert is that it takes a lot of work and labor to build it, but Beja has monsters that can dig holes, which is not a problem in Fufeng City.
What surprised him even more was that there was even running water here.
Connect the bamboo poles with the internal joints in series to make pipes, and the next spring water from Baiyun Mountain in the north of the city can be directly transported to your home, eliminating the trouble of queuing up to fetch water or buying water.
Of course, those who are qualified to use Baiyun spring water will not be ordinary people.
The Shimen caravan is also doing group buying business in addition to wholesale, and it is time to go to the market to open. He Lingchuan knows that their main products are sandalwood and a kind of balm called “Lover’s Tears”. Resin, as long as two flavors of natural spices are added, it can be mixed into a deep and deep aroma. The most important thing is that it is durable, which is very suitable for use in sachets.
The things sold in the market are all kinds of strange things, and there are many monster shops and stalls.
It is relatively rare for monsters to open shops in other places. It is rare for He Lingchuan to meet Gan Xinliu’s ape performing arts in Shihuan, but it is quite logical in Yao Country.
He saw a weasel selling insect repellent kits, claiming that it could kill all mosquitoes, rats and ants in the house at one time, and it was non-toxic and harmless to people. But the remark is enlarged and bolded, and it reads:
Close the doors and windows, and leave immediately after being pierced.
The packaging is bulging, and the inside is pig urine bubbles filled with gas.
Good guy, He Lingchuan knew what was inside as soon as he saw the familiar packaging.
There is also a labor market in the market, and job seekers include many monsters.
Bear demons and giant apes are common servants. Their ability to carry heavy objects is several times stronger than that of humans. Many caravans will hire them as part-time workers; He Lingchuan even saw two elephants here…
There are also many little monsters who are waiting for a price to hire. For example, He Lingchuan saw two couples of cat monsters with their children looking for jobs.
To hire long-term and fixed-term workers here, you must use the letter of appointment provided by Fufeng City. The format is standard, which stipulates the food, work content, and duration, etc., and the palm (claw) seal will take effect.
He Lingchuan was amazed to see it, and missed his medicine ape even more.
On the way back, he also saw brand-new big red couplets pasted on several temples, and stages were being built at the entrances, which were also specially used for performances on the birthday of King Baoshu.
He Lingchuan was curious, how many operas will be sung on so many stages, how many can King Baoshu see?
There are old trees on the side of the road, and many red cloth strips are hung up to celebrate.
Finally, he went to busy with his own business, purchasing the refining materials for poking pills in the big pharmacy next to the inn.
According to the suggestion of the great alchemist He Lianchen, he can first refine these auxiliary materials into semi-finished products, and then simply fuse them together after getting the emperor’s slurry, the success rate is higher.
Process saving is accident saving.
He didn’t hide his whereabouts, and walked into the pharmacy in a big way.
After half a day, his list of medicinal materials to buy was copied to Taifu’s residence. Because of the weird content, it was presented to Sha Taifu all the time.
Sha Taifu took time out of his busy schedule to look at it twice, and then frowned:
「Why is there still arsenic?」
This recipe told him that Wu Jinsong gave He Lingchuan, only a few flavors were the same, and everything else was replaced. The most outrageous thing is that more than 30% are major poisons, including arsenic.
Is this the formula of Emperor Ointment, or is it someone who intends to poison the entire hotel?
Moreover, He Lingchuan’s purchase list is very long, and even——”Do you want skunk glands?”
What do these mean?
Of course Taifu Sha also had his own pharmacist, who took the list, glanced at it and said with a smile: “This man probably needs to make several kinds of medicines, so he bought the ingredients together? Don’t mention anything else, this skunk gland must not be imported. . ”
Taifu Sha glared at him, why should he say that?
“And there are many medicines in it that have conflicting properties, so it is impossible to use them in the same formula.” The pharmacist said again, “If he didn’t have to refine many medicines at once
is to confuse us with this list. ”
Sha Taifu hummed: “He became alert?” The kid surnamed He found out that he was being secretly observed?
“No matter what medicine he wants to make, there is no prescription from us here.” The pharmacist reminded him, “The prescription you gave him is the general formula of Diliuye, right? At least it includes ground snail, bitter eye lotus, etc. Not on this list.”
Sha Taifu let out a surprise: “Can he make another one himself?”
If you are not sure, no normal person will fool around with the formula of Di Liuzhi, it will be against your own life.
The pharmacist spread his hands: “That’s not clear.”
Sha Taifu pondered, and then asked Wu Jinsong: “You told him that there is no place in the suburbs to receive the emperor’s slurry, right?”
“yes!”
Sha Taifu then said: “This kid has a lot of ambition.”
“Teacher?” Why did you say that?
“The land in the outskirts of Fufeng City has been marked out. If He Xiao only stayed in the city to pick up Emperor Liuzhi, he wouldn’t need to spend so much effort.” Taifu Sha said with a smile, “He made so many preparations on purpose to go far.”
Then, wait and see.
He also has a lot of things to do, and this trivial matter was forgotten in a blink of an eye.
For the next whole day, He Lingchuan stayed behind closed doors at the hotel, concentrating on refining accessories and doing some chores.
Refining medicine is not his forte, so he can only use a small furnace bought from a pharmacy. He has been refining four or five raw materials before he can improve his proficiency and get a semi-finished product that he is satisfied with.
Fortunately, the difficulty of refining itself is not too great, otherwise he would have to think of a way.
Master Shi Er claimed to know the surroundings of Fufeng City like the back of his hand. He Lingchuan discussed with him for a long time, and said that he was going to go out for a stroll in the city soon, and he would not return until three days later.
Fufeng City is one of the important stops of any caravan. The Shimen Chamber of Commerce was supposed to unload, sell and deliver goods here, so it had to stay for a while. There are many special products in Fufeng City that Fu Kingdom needs, but the Shimen caravan will continue to go northwest, so they will not buy them in stock for the time being, but they have to place an order first, and the other party will prepare the goods. When the Shimen caravan returns from Lingxu City Then pay the balance and take the goods back home, similar to futures.
Now that it’s time for Baoshu Wang’s birthday, Shi Er’s family is so busy these days, how can he care about where He Lingchuan is going?
Soon, he received great news:
There was a big deal that was originally handled by the Gan’s Chamber of Commerce, but the Taifu Mansion felt He Xiao’s kindness, so they transferred the sale to the Shimen Chamber of Commerce.
The size of the transaction itself is not important, nor is it important how much money the brothers can make from it. The important thing is that the Shimen Chamber of Commerce and Taifu’s Mansion got online and gained the trust of each other!
What an honor is this, what a benefit is this?
This is the long-awaited career turning point for the Shi brothers.
Brother’s vision is indeed right, it is of great benefit to have a relationship with He Xiao.
Shi Er was ecstatic when he received the news, and wanted to find He Lingchuan for a drink, but he smiled and said, “I’m busy.” The door didn’t let him in.
Shi Er headed his head and saw that his room was full of women, almost all ages, and he didn’t know what kind of medicine was sold in He Lingchuan’s gourd.
Having been busy until this afternoon, He Lingchuan rode out of the city alone and headed northeast.
Taifu Mansion’s announcement of Emperor Liujiang will first appear tomorrow night.
Fufeng City really deserves to be the capital of Baoshu Kingdom. The towns in the suburbs are very prosperous. There are farmlands, orchards, forest farms, and workshops everywhere. There are monsters and human labor everywhere.
He Lingchuan walked farther and farther, observing carefully along the way.
Finally, there are fewer people and more deserted forests.
He tries to drive the horse up to a hill. It looked like an unowned barren hill, without any trace of human activities.
However, before He Lingchuan ran to the foot of the mountain, he heard two rustling sounds from the forest, and several huge black sambars came out to block him, uttering words:
“Decree of the Xiangguo: This place is temporarily designated as the territory of the Black Horn Clan, and strangers should not come near it within three days.”
Several big deer looked down at him, as if saying something
If you don’t agree, you will kick it.
He Lingchuan didn’t linger, but turned around and left.
Next, he tried several other locations, all of which were taken away, sometimes by monsters, sometimes by humans. It can be seen that Wu Jinsong’s news is correct.
As a newcomer, he, a foreigner, of course doesn’t want to conflict with local snakes. He Lingchuan then headed to the northeast, sleeping in the wild at night, and went from early morning to afternoon the next day.
Then, he asked the king to plan the destination of the trip. Then, he finally arrived at the destination of the trip.
This place is more than two hundred miles away from Fufeng City, and it is an open space by a lake.
In fact, he had already walked out of the outskirts of Fufeng City last night, leaving the entrenched points of various forces. But just to be on the safe side, he still walked out for a long time, even staying away from the official road.
This place is inaccessible, more than forty miles away from the nearest human settlement, and there is almost no trace of human activities nearby. As for whether there are monsters or not, this is the boundary of the monster country, who can say for sure?
But the power of monster clusters in the mountains is limited, unlike Fufeng City.
Of course, Zhu Erniang and the other big monsters in the Demon Nest Swamp are exceptions.
He Lingchuan is also particular about choosing this place. The sparkling lake in front of me is called “Sanxin Lake”, which means that it has three lakes, one big and two small, and the water bodies are usually connected to each other.
The largest lake has hundreds of hectares, and the smallest is only about four acres, with a huge difference.
Shi Er’s family will know this place, because he was greedy for progress and rushed at night when he was in business, and he went more and more crookedly, and ended up here. It took two days to find the way to Fufeng City, and I was quite impressed.
He Lingchuan stood by the small lake and looked at it, and said to himself, God help me.
It turns out that it hasn’t rained here for a long time, and the water level has dropped a lot. The channel connecting it to the Great Lake is almost blocked by mud and sand, forming a natural low dam.
Unless there are a few heavy rains, the fish in the Great Lakes will not be able to swim.
The so-called deep water raises big fish, and deep pools grow dragons. What kind of monsters like to stay in a four-acre small lake?
In addition, there is a circle of muddy land beside the small lake, which can be stepped down to the knee, and the forest retreats more than ten feet away.
No matter who it is, they will not be willing to take on Emperor Liuzhi here.
