"What is it?"
"I have checked the census," Xu Xinyuan said. "The last census of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine was 15 years ago. Since then, for some reason, no census has been conducted on the stockade in the past 15 years. It was as if the stockade had really disappeared. It was not until the recent incidents that it was brought back into people's view."
"The census is a nemesis," Guo Zhenghe said. "But, it is not managed by our county. In this case, we have to find a way from the province."
"Young Master, you can inquire about it. Recently, the province has been promoting rural medical reform," Xu Xinyuan said. "They require medical teams to be sent to towns and villages, especially remote mountain areas, to provide free medical services and establish personal medical records. This is also a very rare opportunity."
"Well, this is an opportunity," Guo Zhenghe said.
At the very least, he could know how many people were in the village and how old they were. By comparing it with the last census, he could get some useful information. However, there were also difficulties. This was southern Yunnan. His family did not have much influence there because it was located in a corner and had limited influence.
"Well, I will think about it first," Guo Zhenghe said. "You continue to pay attention to their news. You must ensure your own safety."
"Okay."
"Uncle Xu, you have worked hard during this time," Guo Zhenghe sincerely said.
Through the contact and interaction during this time, he found that Xu Xinyuan in front of him was really a rare talent. He was smart and resourceful. He was not the kind of boorish man who only knew how to fight. For him, who was almost fighting alone, this was a great help. It came at the right time.
"You are too polite," Xu Xinyuan hurriedly said.
In fact, people like them were equivalent to the hangers-on of those rich families in the past. They spent money to support them, so they had to help at the critical moment.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first, Young Master."
"Well, you go do your work first. Feel free to call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
After Xu Xinyuan left, Guo Zhenghe stayed for a while and drank two cups of tea. During this time, he was still thinking about the matter.
"Two hundred years old? How is that possible?"
Guo Zhenghe was skeptical that anyone could live to this age. Looking at the time, he left the teahouse and returned to his office. Then, he called his father and briefly told him the whole thing.
"I see," Secretary Guo replied with three simple words on the other end of the phone.
"Be careful over there. A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall."
"Oh, I know, Dad. Take care of yourself too."
"Alright, I'm hanging up. I still have a meeting to prepare for."
"Alright."
The conversation between the father and son was very brief. It was enough to make things clear.
"You're still the same!" Guo Zhenghe smiled.
His father was dignified, but he cared for him. It was just that the way he cared for him was a little different.
"Now, the first thing to determine is how magical the secret formula in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine is. If it can really make people live to 200 years old, then I have to get it at all costs!" Guo Zhenghe's eyes flashed a trace of gloominess and fierceness.
Since ancient times, from the emperor to the common people, almost everyone dreamed of living a long life. They yearned for immortality, especially those emperors, who already had great power in their hands and ruled the world. The next step was to think about how to rule the world for generations to come. It would be best if they could stay in power forever. The prerequisite for all of this was to have a healthy body. That was why Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to the east to search for the elixir of immortality. In this aspect, not only Qin Shihuang, almost all of the emperors had done this before, but he was the most famous one.
"Immortality!" Guo Zhenghe also sighed.
How many people would not be tempted?
In the provincial capital of southern Yunnan …
"What? Still going?" Yang Guanfeng felt a headache coming on.
"You don't have to scratch your head," a half-bald middle-aged man above him said. "The higher-ups specifically named you."
"No, boss, why?"
"Don't you know how big of a matter it is? A total of 19 people have died. What if it continues? Ask the ministry to send someone?"
"Them?"
"Oh, what's with your expression? Do you think they might not be better than you?"
"That's not what I mean."
"Alright, hurry up and set off," Yang Guanfeng said. "Let Lu go with you this time. You two are old partners."
"Is he back?"
"He just came back."
"Alright, let's go again," Yang Guanfeng said.
In fact, he did not have any good feelings about the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. He felt the same way when he went there last time. The two of them were poisoned and almost died for no reason. Moreover, Miaoxi River, who supported them on the surface, must have been quite disgusted with them. He did not even need to think about it.
In a place cut off from the rest of the world, he was like a 'local tyrant'. When had anyone ever dared to point fingers in front of him, let alone an outsider? Although he had left that place and He County during this time, he had not been idle. His main energy had been focused on investigating the case. He had been investigating the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. However, there was too little information about that place. Even the most recent census was more than a decade ago. All the information about them came from inquiring about them. He had gone to several villages near the Valley of Thousands of Medicine to inquire about it, but most of the people there were secretive about that place.
However, his hard work paid off. He had learned some useful information from a few old people who were about to die.
They already knew that the people there were proficient in medicine and poison. It was a place that had been passed down for generations. The Valley of Thousands of Medicine was like the Medicine King Valley in martial arts novels. The chief there was usually the person with the best medical skills. That was to say, Miaoxi River, whom he had met a few times, was from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. He was actually a person with extraordinary medical skills. According to the information he knew, the people in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine could treat most difficult and complicated diseases, even some terminal diseases. Of course, the premise was that they were willing to treat you. Miaoxi River's medical skills were the best in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. Similarly, his ability to use poison was also the strongest.
For such a person to be willing to hide in such a small stockade, he was either a true hermit or had a big plan. No matter how one looked at him, he did not look like a true hermit.
"I really don't want to go!" Yang Guanfeng sighed.
"Why don't you want to go?" A man in his 30s entered his office from the outside. He looked a little slovenly and had a cigarette in his mouth.
"When did you come back?"
"You've been back for a week. You don't want to go to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, do you?"
"Well, I really don't want to go."
"I heard that the scenery there is good," the man said. "Are there any beautiful girls?"
"Ah, I really don't want to talk to you. You keep talking about girls!" Yang Guanfeng slapped his forehead.
"We drove for several hours, and our bones were about to fall apart. It felt weird to go there."
"Where are the girls?" he asked seriously.
"Well, I was investigating a case, so I didn't pay attention."
"What? My God, you didn't even see if the girls were beautiful or not. Don't you think your mission was a failure?"
"Lu Xiufeng, put away your tricks," Yang Guanfeng said. "If you really like girls, why aren't you married now?"
"There are so many flowers. How can I only pick one?"
"Come on, you still can't get over it, can you?" Yang Guanfeng lit a cigarette.
"Ah, I really don't want to talk to you!" Lu Xiufeng sighed.
"You have no sense of humor, and you always poke at people's sore spots."
"Did you ask for it?"
"Well, to be honest, I also want to have a look." Lu Xiufeng narrowed his eyes.
"After all, we are all surnamed Miao."
In the mountain village thousands of miles away …
In the clinic …
"Why do you have time to come here? How is the sales of the medicine?" Wang Yao asked with a smile.
"Since it has been produced, and Sir said that the effect is good, the sales should not be a problem," Zheng Weijun said with a smile. "It just depends on the time."
The first medicine had been successfully produced. It was a good start. As he had just said, the sales were not particularly worrying. After all, it was a prescription provided by Wang Yao. In this regard, he had absolute trust.
"Sir, think about it. What kind of medicine should be produced next?" This was the real purpose of Zheng Weijun's visit.
A pharmaceutical factory, especially one with such a huge investment, would definitely produce more than just one type of medicine.
"Let me think about it," Wang Yao said.
He already had two prescriptions in mind. He was just thinking about which one to use. One was to clear the heat and relieve pain, and the other was to clear the blood vessels and remove blood stasis. They were both decoctions.
"Oh, OK." Zheng Weijun nodded.
After chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left. Next, he had more important work to do, and that was to use his connections to quickly promote this medicine.
"No rush, no rush," Wang Yao whispered. …
At Jia Zizai's home …
"Hey, honey, look," Jia Zizai said. "The medicine Sir gave us is working."
"What are you doing? Where did the mouse come from?" After entering the room, Hu Mei found her husband staring at a cage on the table. There was a small mouse in the cage.
"I caught it. It took a lot of effort."
"You went out today to catch this?" Hu Mei asked. "You didn't get bitten, did you?"
"No, it's fine even if I got bitten. Didn't Sir say that we are immune to poison now?"
"This mouse can spread the plague. It shouldn't be poison, right?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Hu Mei rolled her eyes at him. "Mice are afraid of people. I'm standing here, and it's afraid of me!"
"No, no, it's not the same. Look at its eyes, its reaction, and its expression." Jia Zizai pointed at the little mouse.
"Eyes, reaction, what expression does the mouse have?"
"Hey, mammals have expressions," Jia Zizai said. "I heard the experts talk about it when I watched Man and Nature. Come, squat down and take a look. Take a closer look."
Hearing what he said, Hu Mei approached and squatted down to take a closer look.
Needless to say, the little mouse kept scurrying back and forth in the cage. It was obviously trying to escape. She could see a little bit of panic on its face.
