Chapter 7 Five-Colored Tai Sui
Gu Dan suddenly realized.
Again, the same thing, the Imperial Household Department can do it, but the Imperial Medical Service can’t?
I waited for more than four months, probably to avoid the center of controversy.
Seeing that the affairs of the Imperial Household Department had been completely settled, the Imperial Hospital, which had been ready to make some moves, also began to take action!
If he could even give it to himself, I’m afraid none of the imperial doctors would escape.
Gu Dan stopped refusing and just asked, "It is said that the chicken in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has an unusual call. So you dare to brag about it. Do we have one too?"
"What do you mean by bragging?"
Xu Zhian glared at him and said, "The Lingzhi picked from the peak has been made into a nourishing soup for the emperor. It was delivered a few days ago, and the emperor even praised us for our thoughtfulness."
Good fellow! It turns out that they report first and then execute, and get praises before sharing dividends.
Even if someone wants to cause trouble, Emperor Zong Ming must speak out first.
"sharp!"
Gu Dan had nothing to say and had to admit defeat.
"Don't make this public. Those alchemists are asking for immortality in a mysterious way, but we have the real stuff, so nothing will go wrong!"
Andy Hui said with a flushed face.
Ever since the alchemists divided up the work share and financial resources belonging to the Imperial Medical Service, Andy Hui has rarely been so happy.
How much reward can you get if you honestly treat diseases and save lives?
If the disease cannot be cured, the family members may be implicated.
It's not like today, where you can earn this much money just by making a nourishing soup and adding some precious herbs.
The future is promising! "It's just a pity that the emperor has probably forgotten about you, alas." When talking about this, Andy Hui couldn't help but sigh.
You have a way to make money, but there is no one around the emperor, so you can't be too arrogant.
"No, no, no. As the saying goes, serving a king is like serving a tiger. I am the only child left in the Gu family, so I dare not do anything reckless!" Gu Dan waved his hands repeatedly after hearing this.
"That's just what I said. You are a forgetful person."
After chatting for a few more sentences, Andy Hui left.
Gu Dan took the hundred-liang silver note and looked at it over and over again, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It is said that living in the imperial capital is not easy.
But if you buy a small house in a remote place, forty or fifty taels would be more than enough.
The money he got from this profit alone could buy two small houses. No wonder everyone in the Imperial Hospital was tempted.
"However, I have a method to achieve immortality, and you must not covet a few petty gains. If you are in danger, you must run away immediately!"
Reminding himself secretly, Gu Dan stuffed the banknote into his arms.
It's time to find Mo Qiu and talk to him about martial arts.
He ran all the way to the inn where Mo Qiu was staying, but found out that Mo Qiu had checked out, but left him a letter.
When he opened it, he found that he had not found a satisfactory job for more than a month. He had visited various martial arts schools one by one, but was not satisfied with any of them.
Just continue to suppress the bandits and collect the reward! When I come back, I will go to the Imperial Hospital to have a drink with him.
“What a pity.”
Gu Dan touched the hundred taels of silver in his arms, feeling helpless.
Although the emperor has not attended court for more than ten years, all places are relatively peaceful and wandering warriors are not taken seriously.
Instead, the number of alchemists rose rapidly, and various Taoist temples sprang up everywhere, with countless people willing to enter and practice.
There aren't many people willing to learn martial arts, so naturally the martial arts schools aren't doing well.
Even if you have great skills, what good does it matter? Unless you join the army, you have to climb up step by step, and if no one takes care of you, you will waste decades.
In comparison, although suppressing bandits is dangerous, the reward is real.
If the person is not here, then all you can do is wait.
What Gu Dan didn’t expect was that this wait would last for two full months.
During the two months, he treated some new patients in prison, and his life span was extended by 25 years, which would soon make up for the lost time.
During this period, he received dividends three times, each time in the amount of 100 taels of silver.
According to Andy Hui, after the first purchase by the Imperial Medical Bureau, all the herbal farmers were eager to try their best to get rich, and they actually collected the miraculous medicine from the cliffs three more times.
Gu Dan frowned, but didn't know what to say.
Rare and miraculous medicines are different from chickens. Chickens can lay eggs in a long-lasting flow.
But the Imperial Medical Bureau is able to purchase rare and precious medicines several times every month. Do they really think the emperor is a fool?
If they continue like this, something might happen to the Imperial Hospital!
At that time, he mentioned it to Andy Hui in a vague way, but Andy Hui told him not to worry, they were well prepared, the imperial physician had found someone, and he just had to wait for his share of the profits and not to say anything more.
Soon Gu Dan found out what the preparation was.
A herbal medicine farmer walked into the gate of the Imperial Hospital carrying a shoulder pole.
The imperial physician went to invite him personally, and all the imperial doctors, including the half-baked Gu Dan, followed obediently.
Until the carrying pole was put down and the contents were revealed.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It looks like a Ganoderma lucidum, with a head and a tail.
What’s strange is that this thing has five colors: red, white, black, green, and yellow, which are grouped together in distinct layers like the five elements rotating.
The red ones are like coral, the white ones are like fat, the black ones are like lacquer, the green ones are like emerald feathers, and the yellow ones are like purple gold. They are all bright and transparent like solid ice. At first glance, you can tell that they are definitely not ordinary things.
"Hiss~ Is this Tai Sui?! How can it have five colors!"
Gu Dan heard someone among the imperial doctors exclaim in surprise.
Andy Hui was also heard exclaiming: "Taisui, also known as Lingzhi, is non-toxic, nourishes the middle, improves essence and energy, increases wisdom, treats chest knots, and long-term consumption makes the body light and young. But the five-color Tai Sui, I have never heard of it, I have never heard of it!"
Soon many imperial doctors surrounded him, praising him endlessly and expressing their amazement.
Until the imperial physician Pang Qi called out, "Such a natural and natural wonder should be presented to the emperor!"
Many imperial doctors echoed this, saying that such a precious item was not something that ordinary people could enjoy, and that was how it should be!
Pang Qi's previous dividend distribution was very thoughtful. Even he could get a hundred taels of silver, and the imperial doctors would get even more. At this time, no one sang a different tune, and all of them were boasting.
Being in the middle of it, Gu Dan could only nod his head and say, "How wonderful, how wonderful!"
I couldn't stop cursing in my heart.
Damn it, it’s such a big deal, if there is any mistake, the three clans will have to thank your whole family!
Now Gu Dan only regretted that he had run away before he heard the news.
The wealth was so attractive that he was clearly alert, but he did not leave early.
If this matter gets out, no one present will be able to escape!
Still not stable enough!
Soon, the imperial physician Pang Qi brought the Five-Colored Tai Sui into the palace as a gift.
Gu Dan grabbed Xu Zhian and dragged him to a secluded place, saying in a deep voice, "Uncle Xu, isn't this a bit too much of a fuss?"
"Why are you so timid?" Xu Zhian frowned, glared at Gu Dan, straightened his clothes that were messed up by Gu Dan, and said calmly, "What's the big deal about our little fight?"
"Please help me, Uncle Xu." Gu Dan calmed down and tried hard to force a smile.
"You don't understand this, do you?"
Xu Zhian smiled, "The current emperor has been practicing Taoism for ten years. After ten years of seeking the truth, he has made some achievements. He should be congratulated by the court and the people! The Taoist priest presented a white deer, which is said to have the blood of the mythical beast Bai Ze, and is a natural auspicious sign! The gifts presented by several people in the cabinet are all extraordinary, and they are probably worth a fortune. Governors from all over the country also presented rare treasures and competed to present gifts. In comparison, the five-colored Tai Sui presented by our Imperial Hospital is not bad, but it is not the best."
Gu Dan was silent for a moment.
He never took the initiative to inquire about the affairs of the court and the country. He was either immersed in medical books or trying to find ways to exercise his body. He knew very little about the current situation.
I never thought there was such a secret. No wonder the Imperial Medical Service has been so active in recent months.
"You're being too cautious, kid." Gu Dan said apologetically.
"Alas, you are the only one left in the Gu family, so being cautious is not a big deal. But, if you don't do what everyone else does, that won't work. The last imperial physician was dismissed because he advised the emperor not to pursue the illusory immortal path, and there was no one to see him off.
Although this imperial physician was promoted in name only but demoted in reality, he still has some ability. Take the benefits of the profit, don't say anything you shouldn't say, and remember not to force yourself to be the leader! "
Andy Hui patted Gu Dan on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
