?? J;?????_+ 99? A? fz? I? Y:? u?? ^1?? R? Vj? H??? Xt?? Isn't there an approximate time? "
Jiang Pengji had some guesses in her heart, but she didn't have any concrete evidence.
She had read so many books before, and there were indeed some records about Hanshi powder.
According to unofficial historical records, in the previous dynasty, there was a wandering necromancer who presented a magical prescription to the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom that could extend one's lifespan and strengthen one's body. It could allow a man to have sufficient Yang energy and be vigorous in bed. That prescription was Hanshi powder, and it had the effect of treating typhoid.
Before the five kingdoms separated into Xia, this Hanshi powder had always been a secret prescription of the palace. It wasn't leaked to the public, and only the emperor could enjoy it.
Later on, when the five kingdoms separated into Xia, the Hanshi powder that was once regarded as a god disappeared without a trace.
When it reappeared, it became a popular trend pursued by the nobles.
Feng Jin frowned and shook his head, saying, "I'm not sure about this. If Lanting is curious, I'll go back and check it out for you."
Jiang Pengji nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Feng Jin turned his head and thought about it. He felt that Jiang Pengji's sudden questions were a little weird.
"What's the problem with this Hanshi powder?"
Jiang Pengji sneered, "The problem is huge. Take a look, those who have been consuming Hanshi powder for a long time, which one of them still has energy? They are muddle-headed all day, as if they are going to meet their ancestors at any time. They don't have the heart to do proper work, and their actions are absurd. Their temperament is even more unpredictable. Now after consuming Hanshi powder, they still strip in public. Under normal circumstances, who would strip naked and expose their body to outsiders? "
Feng Jin had always heard about how good Hanshi powder was, and how comfortable it was after consuming it, but he had never touched it.
If he were to indulge in Hanshi powder like those idle playboys, not to mention anything else, his father Feng Ren would be the first to not let him off.
Hearing Jiang Pengji's reminder, he came back to his senses, and vaguely understood something.
"Hanshi powder is addictive." Jiang Pengji said with a cold face. She did not care about such outdated things, but the physical qualities of the people in ancient times were too poor. The possibility of addiction was high. "If you take it for a long time and want to quit, the process is extremely painful. Ordinary people can't bear it."
Feng Jin's expression turned a little strange.
"But this Hanshi powder is mostly used by nobles, the common people will not be implicated …"
Jiang Pengji sneered. "Look at what you're saying. It's as if the people at the helm are the people."
Feng Jin was speechless.
After a while, he said, "Jin will investigate this matter when I get back."
Jiang Pengji lowered her eyes.
She wasn't sure if the Hanshi powder was a conspiracy, but she was sure that this thing was like a catalyst, which stimulated the original hidden danger.
After leaving the Royal Courtyard, she sat alone in the carriage, her face cold as she flipped through the information about Hanshi powder that the viewers in the live streaming room had found.
It was almost the same as what she saw in the unofficial history. In the dimension of the viewers in the live streaming room, Hanshi powder was initially used to treat typhoid. But because of some people who were courting death, they changed the prescription, causing the medicine to become poisonous. It was spread to the aristocrats and became a popular consumption trend.
In the current dimension, Hanshi powder was presented to the Emperor by the wandering necromancers as a good prescription for health, but the Emperor of Xia used it wantonly.
After the five countries divided into Xia, the secret prescription of Hanshi powder was also spread to the hands of a certain country.
"This harmful thing …" Jiang Pengji couldn't help but shake her head.
Back at the Feng residence, Taxue had already prepared hot soup and clean clothes.
Jiang Pengji went to take a bath. Her long hair was still wet. Taxue used a dry cloth to wipe her hair and absorb the water.
"Xiaoyu, help me get the Great Universal Geographical Map."
Jiang Pengji unfolded the Great Universal Geographical Map. The contents on it were personally copied by her. There were many small words on it.
Her long hair was almost dry. Jiang Pengji let Taxue leave and said to Xu Ke, "Father is probably going to retire."
Xu Ke was shocked after hearing that. He couldn't help but raise his head to look at her.
"Master is going to retire? But … "
How old was Liu She?
He wasn't even 40 yet. He had just passed 30 years of age. Why was he thinking of retiring?
"Hu County is a hot potato. If it wasn't for father's strong hand, how could he have defended it until now?"
Jiang Pengji's eyes flashed with coldness. "The two prefectures near Hu County had a food shortage. Who wouldn't be jealous if they managed to survive with just Hu County? Not only will the aristocrats be jealous, but the Emperor is even more jealous. I think he's going to cause trouble. Father already had the intention to retire before he came to Shangjing. I think this matter is going to end like this … "
Xu Ke frowned and said softly, "But if master loses Hu County, he won't be able to rest easy without someone to rely on."
After all, although Liu She didn't kill all the aristocrats in Hu County, he offended a lot of them.
Jiang Pengji said, "That depends on how you choose. Hu County's terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Moreover, the military is weak. If it's Dongqing … this place will definitely become a fat piece of meat that everyone covets. What's the difference between this and a toddler carrying gold in a busy market? Rather than having food in your hands and not being able to protect it, it's better to give it up temporarily and move to another place as soon as possible. "
After hearing that, Xu Ke was silent for a while and said, "I think that if you submit a memorial to retire, you will most likely be promoted to a prefecture magistrate."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Hu County was already a big county that produced food. It was the best piece of land in the whole of Dongqing.
Liu She had spent several years to manage the county to this state. If he retired now, people would only think that the Emperor was too greedy.
In order to stop people from gossiping, if Liu She said he wanted to retire, he would most likely be appointed as a prefecture magistrate to show the Emperor's benevolence.
Although it was a demotion, it was better to have a good reputation.
"I think so too. Currently, there are six prefectures and 21 counties in Dongqing. Only Yuan Zhou is still lacking a prefecture magistrate …"
When he heard Yuan Zhou, Xu Ke's face suddenly turned cold. "But this place in Yuan Zhou …"
Yuan Zhou was located to the north of Dongqing and bordered the Northern Borderline. There were two counties, Shangyu County and Changhe County.
Qiguan Rang was from Shangyu County.
The six cities that were lost were all in Shangyu County. Now, there were still three cities in the hands of the Northern Borderline.
That was not all. Due to the many years of war between the Northern Borderline and Dongqing, Yuan Zhou was already in a mess and the population was low.
Now that Dongqing and the Northern Borderline were connected by marriage and Nansheng came to borrow troops, according to the Emperor's idiotic character, he might transfer the troops guarding the border. When that time came, Yuan Zhou would have to face the covetous eyes of the three tribes of the Northern Borderline. It was not easy to be the prefecture magistrate of Yuan Zhou.
However, it was precisely because it was not easy that Liu She went to Yuan Zhou to seek the greatest benefits.
Jiang Pengji had also been eyeing this place at first.
"Only in Yuan Zhou can he openly recruit soldiers and buy horses … After all, even if the two countries are connected by marriage, the three cities of Shangyu County are still in the hands of the Northern Borderline. The land is indispensable, "Jiang Pengji said. Xu Ke listened carefully." Yuan Zhou has another important advantage … "
She wrote four words: The aristocrats are scarce.
The aristocrats are scarce, which means that they will be subject to fewer restrictions and constraints.
Xu Ke thought about it seriously and faintly understood Jiang Pengji's choice.
Yuan Zhou seemed to be in danger, but it was actually a great opportunity.
"Yuan Zhou and Hu County share a border. Father has been operating in Hu County for so many years, so he must have a backup plan. The county chief sent by the imperial court will not be able to control the entire Hu County in a short period of time. In other words, Hu County is still secretly in father's hands … "
Yuan Zhou's soldiers and Hu County's provisions. The combination of the two was what Jiang Pengji wanted.
"Apart from that, there is another important reason. Chongzhou is rich in sandalwood."
