Originally, Yang Rui had planned to exchange Diaochan into the real world as soon as possible. After all, he was very curious about how NPCs in the game could become real humans, how much of a transformation there was, and whether there were any differences between them and real humans. ()
However, Yang Rui was currently facing the need to send troops to Liu Dai. In addition, Qingzhou still needed to spend a lot of money, so the matter of exchanging Diaochan could only be pushed back. Moreover, in the real world, Yang Rui needed to prepare the game chamber, nutrient solution, and other equipment. In the game, he also needed to communicate with Diaochan.
As for Qingzhou's financial situation, Yang Rui was not too worried. After throwing out 10 million gold coins at once, Yang Rui's net worth still had 30 million gold coins. In the short term, there would not be a shortage.
Moreover, there was also news of making money.
After everyone had finished discussing and left, Yang Rui called over the messenger that Governor Wang Kuang had sent to ask for help. After instructing him to return to Hanoi Prefecture to reply, Cheng Yu brought up the relevant matter. Zhang Rang was here!
If it was said that Zhang Ning's identity as a Yellow Turban Saintess was still acceptable to everyone, then Zhang Rang's identity as one of the Ten Permanent Attendants was not something that could be brought up.
Back then, Zhang Rang had put in a lot of effort to help Yang Rui obtain an official position step by step. Later, it was because of this that Yang Rui stepped in to save the seven Permanent Attendants, including Zhang Rang, and even provided him with a few Asahi Pills to help him return to being a perfect person.
However, the number of Asahi Pills was obviously not enough for Zhang Rang and the others. This time, Zhang Rang came to discuss this matter with Yang Rui. He also brought along 50 sets of materials needed to refine the Asahi Pill, which had already been handed over to Cheng Yu.
Of course. At the same time, Zhang Rang also wanted to look for Yang Rui to talk about the old days. However, anyone with a discerning eye would know. His main objective was still the former.
Back then, Yang Rui had given Zhang Rang three Asahi Pills. At this time, he still had two left. Even if Zhang Ning stopped refining, they could still meet Zhang Rang's needs for the time being.
In Zhang Rang's mind, as an Earth-level Asahi Pill, it was very difficult to refine. Zhang Rang would never have thought that Zhang Ning had once refined five pills in one go.
"Greetings, Marquis! Blazing Sun went out and just returned. I didn't know that the Marquis would come personally. I've made you wait for a long time! "
After everything was settled, Yang Rui took Zhang Ning and Cheng Yu to the courtyard where Zhang Rang was staying. After meeting him, Yang Rui greeted him politely.
Although Yang Rui didn't have a good impression of the eunuchs, Zhang Rang had played a significant role in the past. Even if it was just an exchange of mutual benefits, Yang Rui and him could be considered to have a mutually beneficial relationship.
Moreover, Yang Rui wasn't the kind of person who would burn the bridge after crossing it. At this time, if Yang Rui didn't like Zhang Rang, it would seem that he was stingy. Moreover, Yang Rui still wanted to discuss business with him. Because of this, Yang Rui's attitude towards Zhang Rang was the same as before.
At this time, the Asahi Pill was only one of the values that Zhang Rang and the others could bring. Yang Rui believed that Zhang Rang and the others had no small amount of hidden wealth. If they could reach a cooperation in other areas, that would be even better!
"Blazing Sun has returned!"
At this time, Zhang Rang knew that he was no longer the same as before. When he saw Yang Rui appear, he still treated him with familiarity. Zhang Rang also came forward to greet him warmly.
"How am I still a Marquis? Prefecture Governor Blazing Sun is really too kind. On the contrary, Prefecture Governor Blazing Sun has already achieved great things. Moreover, you are a person who cherishes old friendships. I, Zhang Rang, didn't misjudge you back then … "Zhang Rang said as he expressed his goodwill.
At such a close distance, Yang Rui looked carefully. At this time, Zhang Rang actually didn't show any signs of being a castrated person. His Adam's apple was slightly protruding, and there was also a faint stubble at the side of his mouth!
The Asahi Pill was indeed an Earth Grade Pill. It actually turned Zhang Rang back into a perfect person!
"Marquis once provided great help to Blazing Sun on his path to becoming an official. Blazing Sun naturally won't forget it so easily! Marquis, please have a seat. Let us chat while we drink tea. Servants, bring out the best tea leaves. "
As Yang Rui spoke, he invited Zhang Rang into the hall and sat down.
Even though Zhang Rang's body had already been repaired under the effects of the Asahi Pill, it still felt a little strange to have his hands held by him.
Zhang Ning and Cheng Yu naturally followed Yang Rui and Zhang Rang to sit down together.
Cheng Yu must have seen Zhang Rang before, so he didn't notice anything from his expression. Zhang Ning, on the other hand, was different. There was obviously a lot of surprise in his expression, and he also looked at Zhang Rang with new eyes.
"If it is possible, how about this Marquis and Prefecture Governor Blazing Sun share a few cups of wine? Although the tea is good, it is still a little bland after all … "
Zhang Rang had always been partial to the way of tea. However, after hearing Yang Rui say that the servants should serve tea, Zhang Rang actually took the initiative to request to change it to wine! He didn't expect that while the Asahi Pill changed Zhang Rang's body, it also changed his taste.
"Eh! Hahaha … A man should drink strong wine! Bring out the specialty wine of Big Mountain City – A pint of incense. I want to drink with Marquis to our heart's content! "
Yang Rui understood. After laughing for a while, he ordered again.
Regarding Yang Rui's statement that a man should drink wine, Zhang Rang's expression was greatly comforted. Clearly, he was very pleased with Yang Rui's acknowledgment.
"Marquis, let's drink to the full!"
"Marquis, let's drink another cup …"
"… Marquis has a good alcohol tolerance!"
Originally, Yang Rui was also very curious. He wanted to know if Zhang Rang had really changed his habits. Next, Yang Rui urged Zhang Rang to drink.
"Blazing Sun already knows the purpose of Marquis' visit. I will order Ning 'er to refine the Asahi Pill to satisfy the needs of Marquis and the others."
After urging Zhang Rang to drink for a while, Yang Rui found that Zhang Rang's alcohol tolerance was not to be underestimated. He himself was almost drunk, but Zhang Rang acted as if nothing had happened. Moreover, he was drinking very boldly. It seemed that Zhang Rang's habits had changed along with his body.
Thus, Yang Rui didn't continue to urge him. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Yang Rui changed the topic and brought the topic back to business.
"Of course I'm here for this!"
At this time, Zhang Rang didn't hide anything. He frankly answered Yang Rui, Cheng Yu, and Zhang Ning.
"Zhang Rang is familiar with Blazing Sun's way of doing things. Naturally, he wouldn't hide anything. I came to collect a total of 50 sets of herbs needed to refine the Asahi Pill. I hope that Ning 'er can continue to work hard. Refine a few more Asahi Pills for Zhang Rang and the other attendants!
Every time Ning 'er refines an Asahi Pill, we will pay Ning' er a hundred thousand gold coins as a reward. I wonder if Governor Blazing Sun thinks this is fair?
Although this reward isn't too high, we will continue to ask Ning 'er to refine the Asahi Pill.
I won't hide it from Governor Blazing Sun. After Zhang Rang and the others searched with all their strength, they have already found a place where the Asahi Pill's main ingredients were produced. From now on, Zhang Rang will send over at least 30 sets of ingredients needed to refine the Asahi Pill every month.
No matter how many Ning 'er can refine, we will naturally pay him a hundred thousand gold coins for each set. As long as Ning 'er can refine enough Asahi Pill, the reward will naturally be high … "
As he spoke, Zhang Rang cast his gaze at Zhang Ning who was sitting across from him. At the same time, he reported the reward for refining the Asahi Pill, stating that he would provide a large amount of refining ingredients and that he would need the pill in the long run.
"Marquis's suggestion is very appropriate. I will order Ning 'er to speed up her refinement."
Although a hundred thousand gold coins per pill wasn't a large amount, if it continued like Zhang Rang said, it would be a considerable source of income.
Of course, if Yang Rui wanted to extort the other party, Zhang Rang should be able to accept a price that was several times higher, or even several dozen times higher! However, Yang Rui had other plans to cooperate with Zhang Rang in other areas. Thus, he didn't dwell too much on this matter.
Anyway, it didn't seem too difficult for Zhang Ning to refine the Asahi Pill. Moreover, all the refining ingredients were provided by Zhang Rang's side. It was a profitable business. At the same time, it could also allow Zhang Ning to practice and increase her proficiency in refining pills.
"I just don't know why Marquis wants so many Asahi Pills? If Blazing Sun's memory is correct, there are only four servants who haven't received the Asahi Pill, right? "
After agreeing to Zhang Rang's request, Yang Rui took the opportunity to ask about his doubts.
"Uh, haha … Haha … Governor Blazing Sun doesn't know the effects of the Asahi Pill. Other than the previous effects, this pill has some other special effects …"
After Zhang Rang laughed a few times, he explained to Yang Rui. However, halfway through, he realized that Zhang Ning was also present. Thus, he lowered his voice and whispered into Yang Rui's ear.
After listening to Zhang Rang's explanation, Yang Rui nodded in understanding. He secretly memorized the special effects of the Asahi Pill and drank with Zhang Rang again.
"Marquis, as you can see, Qingzhou was originally relatively barren, rootless, and lacking in talents. All kinds of production were relatively backward. I don't know if Marquis has any relevant production skill books, blueprints, or if Marquis has any needs to purchase from Qingzhou? I hope Marquis will not be stingy with your guidance and give Blazing Sun some pointers … "
After drinking for a while, Yang Rui directly raised his request to Zhang Rang. Yang Rui had already agreed to satisfy the other party. When it came to Yang Rui's own needs, of course, he would not be polite with the other party.
The only thing was that when Zhang Rang and the other seven servants took refuge, they did not tell Yang Rui any information about their hiding place. Yang Rui did not want to get to the bottom of it. At this time, Yang Rui could only start from the production skill books and blueprints in the other party's hands.
"Haha … Governor Blazing Sun is too modest! Zhang Rang's eyes lit up when he came to Qingzhou. Qingzhou had just handed over Blazing Sun to Governor Blazing Sun not long ago. He did not expect that there would be such a drastic change. Blazing Sun is really capable!
Back to the topic, Zhang Rang originally had some things to ask, but he did not expect Governor Blazing Sun to take the initiative to ask, so I will take the opportunity to speak frankly.
This time in Qingzhou, Zhang Rang wants to purchase a batch of resources, and the number is relatively large. I was a little worried at first, but after arriving in Qingzhou, I knew that I came to the right place … "
Zhang Rang directly talked about it. Hearing his tone, Yang Rui knew that there was hope. Zhang Rang really came to give money!
