There is even a thousand-year-old ginseng hidden in the Five Immortals Hall, but even the thousand-year-old ginseng is not that big. If you encounter someone who doesn't know the goods, you will think that it is a big radish grown by someone.

Seeing Xu Tong's surprised expression, the assistant officer couldn't help but secretly feel proud. In fact, it was not the first time he saw this thing, but every time he saw it, he always sighed, it was a treasure gathered from heaven and earth.

Originally, the governor planned to stay on his own, but later he learned about the top-notch soup in the Chenghuang Temple and almost sent several members away on the spot, so he changed his mind and planned to give it to the Prime Minister.

Now the wind direction has changed, and these rare treasures have been delivered to Master Li.

A mere fifth-grade official might not even be qualified to take a look at him in ordinary times.

"Your Majesty, my governor said that this ginseng is a family heirloom. It has been passed down from generation to generation since my grandfather's time. In order to ensure that the medicinal properties of this treasure are not affected, this ginseng has always been hidden in the Jiang family's ancestral home.

It has been planted in the temple for two hundred years now, and my lord said that this ginseng has the effect of bringing the dead back to life!"

Zuo Guan introduced the origin of this ginseng eloquently, and finally boasted about the miraculous effects of this ginseng.

This caused the followers to burst into exclamations of exclamation.

After all, for such an adult, ginseng is about to become a spirit. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

However, when Xu Tong heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "Oh, I don't believe in bringing the dead back to life. How about I kill you and give it a try with you!"

"ah!"

The assistant officer was startled, and when he raised his head, he felt a coldness in his throat, and saw that the Crown Prince's knife was already on his neck.

The cold touch on the blade made the officer's heart jump to his throat.

That cold murderous aura could never be faked. The officer's Adam's apple squirmed for a moment, he swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said with a smile: "I can't do that, my eldest son, I... I'm addicted to it, and I'm talking nonsense."

"snort!"

Xu Tong sneered and put away the knife in his hand: "I think so. If it were so easy to bring back the dead, this thing could send away three generations of governors in your family??"

The assistant officer didn't know what to say for a moment and could only lower his head.

When Xu Tong saw that the beating was almost done, the cold expression on his face suddenly changed, and he showed a smile that looked like sunshine. He patted the assistant officer on the shoulder and heard his voice change.

"Resurrection from the dead is an exaggeration, but it is still possible to treat illnesses and injuries and give people a chance to breathe."

The assistant officer was startled and immediately understood the meaning. He cupped his hands and said, "What the prince said is true, and my lord thinks so too."

"Okay, thank your lord for me, and tell him that I will visit you again when the river project is completed. Thank you for your great help, Lord Governor."

As he spoke, Xu Tong picked up the tea brought by Sanniang and took a sip.

As the saying goes, serving tea to see off guests, the assistant officer naturally understood what he meant and stood up to say goodbye.

After the assistant officer left, everyone immediately gathered around the ginseng to watch.

But no one thought about eating this thing.

After all, the last time I had Bastard Soup had made many of my followers realize that this was something that most people really couldn’t enjoy.

One hundred-year-old ginseng made their waists hurt for several days, let alone this thing.

But having said that, if I could just have one bite, it would be worth it to be straight for the rest of my life.

"Guo Yi!"

Xu Tong called Guo Yi and told him to add all the silver coins he sent to the river project fund, as a red envelope to the river workers.

After all, my financial luck is so bad that there is no benefit in keeping this money with me, so I might as well spend it as soon as possible.

Of course, Xu Tong did not forget these followers around him.

Even if among these people, except Guo Yi, he treats himself sincerely, the others are just hanging around him.

But Xu Tong still divided some of it and asked Guo Yi to distribute it to these followers.

After all, what a person lives for is just these few taels of silver.

As for this ginseng, he naturally put it away because he wanted to make an elixir. This thing came and it just happened to be the material for the elixir.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as they heard the cents, these followers immediately became happy. Before, they were complaining about the fact that the prince paid lavishly to the river workers but never gave them a tael of silver. Now with the heavy silver falling on their hands,

The unhappiness in my heart immediately disappeared.

"Sanniang, this is yours!"

Guo Yi walked to the kitchen, took out a heavy piece of silver and handed it to Sanniang beside him.

"I don't want it. I can't even spend all the money the prince gave me, so what can I do with this? I don't want it!"

Sanniang was just busy cooking and refused after taking one look at the money.

"Hey, this is a reward from the Crown Prince. There is no reason to refuse it. Take it!"

Guo Yi was also a stubborn donkey. When Sanniang refused, he put the money into Sanniang's hand without hesitation.

"What are you trying to do? I don't want it, so take it away!!"

Sanniang immediately pushed it up, and a piece of silver fell to the ground with a "pop" as the two of them pushed it back and forth.

Sanniang and Guo Yi were startled, and then looked at their hands still tightly clasped.

Seeing this, Sanniang's face turned red, she pushed the stunned Guo Yi away as if she was a little angry, raised her hand to pick up the water gourd in the water tank, and splashed cold water on Guo Yi's face.

"go out!"

"you!!!"

Guo Yi's eyes widened, he looked at the silver on the ground, then looked at Sanniang who was blushing, curled his lips, picked up the silver on the ground and slapped it on the table.

"Bang! It's the prince who gave it to me anyway. Do you like it or not?"

After saying that, Guo Yi walked out without looking back.

When he walked out of the door, he saw a group of followers looking at him with strange eyes. They immediately stared at him: "What are you looking at? Follow me to the river to oversee the work!"

Seeing that Boss Guo was getting angry, everyone immediately calmed down and followed behind.

In the kitchen, Sanniang's heart was still pounding. She glanced at the silver on the table, and suddenly she couldn't laugh or cry again. She saw a good ingot of silver, which was turned into a pancake.

Zhou Niang held the silver cake in her hand, and remembering Guo Yi's blushing face just now but not daring to show off, she couldn't help but burst into laughter: "This stubborn donkey..."

…………

The river project was completed faster than Xu Tong thought.

Especially after Xu Tong distributed all the money sent by Jiang Zhen to the river workers, everyone started working harder than the other.

It only took half a month.

The river channel is almost completed.

In the past half month, Xu Tong has gradually integrated himself into the role of Li Zheng, playing the role of an official during the day and benefiting good officials in the area.

In the evening, Yuan Shen escaped into the hall and began to concentrate on refining elixirs.

In addition to the ginseng root, he also had some old medicines purchased from the local pharmacy.

Fortunately, in this era, the degree of development of traditional Chinese medicine is much higher than in reality.

As long as they are not rare treasures from the mountains and wild places, other common medicinal materials can be purchased in most drug stores.

In addition, Xu Tong's prestige in Yuyang City has far surpassed other local officials. When the drug store owners saw him, they wanted to take out all their housekeeping treasures and send them back to him.

At that time, he actually collected a lot of high-quality medicinal materials.

Plus the Wulingzhi provided by Jixiang for free.

The ingredients for a furnace of elixirs were almost ready. After some trial and error refining using the Taishang Alchemy Sutra, a lot of elixirs were finally produced.

Two of them are for increasing cultivation, and one is for getting rich. After all, it loses the most and needs to be replenished.

The other one was divided in half between Daya and Jixiang.

The rest was refined into five ginseng and five-fat pills.

However, not a single Taoist elixir could be refined. During this period, he also lost 6,000 script points due to the use of golden fingers, which made Xu Tong roll on the floor in distress.

I could only cry sadly, use my mountain buckle, and go to find the master in despair.

You wouldn't know it until you go in. As soon as you enter the door, you will see that the old tree with a crooked neck of the eldest princess has suddenly grown into a big tree in the sky.

There is also a swing hanging on the tree.

Of course, no matter how Xu Tong looked at it, he felt that the swing was made of hanging ropes.

Sensing Xu Tong's aura, the eldest princess fell down from the tree crown in white clothes, sat on the swing, and waved to Xu Tong to come up and sit with her.

"No, I'm afraid of heights!"

When Xu Tong saw this, he immediately shook his head and refused.

Immediately, his eyes were fixed on the eldest princess: "Why do I feel that your strength has become higher again??"

"Hey, do you think I was bragging with those old Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain last time?"

The eldest princess has two pairs of dimples on her face.

The last time the two of them went to Qingcheng Mountain to eat instant noodles, the meal was not in vain.
