Chapter 354： Discover the inheritors of indigo dyeing

Chapter 354 Discovering the inheritor of indigo dyeing

While there were endless debates in the court about the abolition of Ping Zhao's hereditary throne, Zhe Yu sent a second urgent letter.

This time, not only text, but also two paintings.

One of them depicts a five-meter-long python attacking the Tie Family Army; while the other depicts a huge toad. It's attacking soldiers.

Zhe Yu pointed out that in Yunzhao’s hometown, the Yuluo Sect cultivated many Gu insects, and among the Gu insects, after fierce battles, the winners became Gu spirits. The Yuluo Sect has mastered the formulas for controlling spirits left by ancient witch doctors, causing huge casualties to Tie Lanxin and the Tie Family Army.

And after this battle, the high priest of the Snail Sect escaped.

Tie Lanxin wrote to Emperor Yanwu, requesting the imperial court to send reinforcements.

There is a potential threat that will control the spirit, and none of the officials wants to go to Yunzhao. Oh, there is one, Wu Liebo Xia Ying.

He was originally General Wu Lie. He has made great achievements several times and has been promoted to "Bo".

Emperor Yanwu agreed, but his status was no longer that of a county guard or an imperial envoy, and he was completely assisted from the sidelines.

Pingzhao's throne is passed on from male to female, but although Tie Lanxin does not claim the title of king, she is already the highest official in the palace in name.

Emperor Yan Wu said in a letter to Zhe Yu that he was asked to stay in Yurong City for a while longer to help wipe out the remnants of the Snail Sect. Once the frontier is stable, it won't be too late to return to Yanjing.

Since then, Zhe Yu has become the first person to hold a high position in Honglu Temple without seeking political power.

**

Since she couldn't leave in the short term, Baicaoshi thought about finding something to do.

The hometown of Yunzhao has a complex topography, including low-altitude tropical valleys and high-altitude plateaus, and a combination of cold, warm, and hot climates, thus giving birth to a rich variety of herbal medicines.

Baicaoshi decided to build a small herbal cultivation base here, specializing in raising Yunzhaodao herbal medicine.

This idea was strongly supported by Tie Lanxin.

In order to gain the support of the people that day, she drew a big cake in private, planted mulberry and cultivated herbal medicine.

She has the confidence to do this, after all, she has accumulated some experience in Kunming Academy. But the premise at that time was that Baicaoshi had set up a stage and all the personnel were in place. If Baicaoshi did it herself now, it would undoubtedly save her a lot of effort.

"In this way, Shishi, Yurong City and its surrounding areas are a hundred miles away, whichever piece of land you like can be used as a herbal cultivation base, and I will assign it to you."

Baicao Poetry has such a feeling that the **** determines the head. When a person is in this position, the thoughts and realms are very different. The concubine princess who was not valued last year turned into a butterfly.

Baicaoshi spread out a map of Yunzhao's hometown, which was provided to her by Mo Feizhan, "What I need is a vertical ecology. In other words, the base does not need to be very large, but the terrain included must be rich enough. mountains in one."

Yunzhao's base is completely different from Wanzhou's base, and the natural base and greenhouse are also different.

Tie Lanxin is also a smart person, so she understands after thinking about it. "You mean, in this way, the living environment of various herbs can be accommodated, right?"

Baicaoshi nodded.

"In addition, I plan to recruit a group of skilled craftsmen, doctors, medicine farmers, herbal pickers, and special skill inheritors in advance. For recruitment, it is better to use the official announcement, which is more authoritative. I will come for the interview in person. I only pick the ones I like. In other words, when I leave Yunzhao in the future, these are the backbone. When the scale of the base expands in the later period, they will personally lead people and pass them on."

Tie Lanxin was overjoyed. When looking at Baicao Poetry, there is more emotion of sympathy. "Shishi, a person like you, even if you don't marry Zhe Yu, will live a wonderful life. Wherever you go, in which country, you are the most popular."

Tie Lanxin didn't know that in the eyes of several heroes in the world, Baicaoshi was worth a hundred thousand troops.

Baicaoshi smiled lightly, she and Zhe Yu had a good understanding, collided with each other and helped each other. She may be wonderful alone, but with Zhe Yu, it is complete. However, she kindly didn't want to spread dog food. "The location of the base, I leave it to you. For recruitment, I hope to be able to interview in three days."

"OK."

Tie Lanxin left in high spirits. She's going to see the real first floor next.

Zhe Yu came back from the outside and exchanged a few words with Shi Shi.

"Actually, I have an idea." He said.

"tell me the story."

Zhe Yu took her hand and drew circles on his palm, "Yurong City is actually not far from the Valley of the Medicine King. You are the only heir recognized by the master. You can use the Valley of the Medicine King as your base. Anyway, the Valley of the Medicine King will be yours sooner or later. "

Not to mention Zheyu, Baicaoshi really almost forgot about Yaowanggu, but the distance between Yaowanggu and Yunzhao is not too far, but the climate is different, and Yunzhao has a unique advantage. Besides, "The master said that I can enter the main Medicine King Valley only after I slash Schisandra chinensis. I'm still not sure if I can break the nine miasmas and nine poisons of Medicine King Valley."

"If you want to break through the barrier, I will accompany you. If we work together and we can't break the nine poisons, no one in the world can do it except the great master." Zhe Yu said with arrogance.

"Some things, you have to do it yourself." It is good to have Zhe Yu as the backing, but Baicaoshi still has its own bottom line pursuit.

Zhe Yu pulled her closer to his arms, and took deep and shallow breaths against her ears, "Sister-in-law is useful, use it when it's time."

Bai Cao Poetry was tickled by him, and his mind was also agitated. Raising his eyes, he saw what he was thinking in Zhe Yu's eyes. "I... know."

A kiss landed on her forehead, Zhe Yu hugged her tightly, "Before a new round of busyness comes, I will requisition you for one night... oh no, three days."

Baicaoshi, who was tossed by Zhe Yu for three days, finally ushered in an interview. Frankly speaking, she was not in very good condition and almost couldn't get off the ground. However, people are in good spirits on happy occasions. It is a joy to be able to communicate with people who share the same path in Materia Medica.

On the day of the interview, the queue was long.

There are two interviewers, Zhe Yu and Baicao Shi, and the person responsible for the registration is the fellow of the Restoration Congress.

The process and content are also very simple. Ask the applicant's name, who is in the family, and special skills.

Among these people, Baicaoshi discovered a master of Panax notoginseng planting, a wood butterfly who can refine medicine, and another middle-aged woman in blue cloth brought a huge surprise to Baicaoshi.

"What's your name, madam?" Baicaoshi asked.

The woman looked cramped, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "My lord, you can call me Jiu Niang. I... am not a wife, I am a widow."

Baicaoshi froze for a moment, thinking that she was once a widow, but when she met Zhe Yu, she was pampered and became the happiest little Jiaojiao. She glanced at Zhe Yu, and Zhe Yu also looked at her. The momentary collision, each raised the corners of their lips, this is a tacit understanding.

"Don't worry about it too much. From now on, with me, as long as you have the ability, you can be respected, get a decent salary, and live the life you want to live."

Just a few words made Jiuniang raise her head, and she could hear the gentle power in the other's words. "Can I?"

"Of course, tell me about your specialty."

Jiu Niang didn't answer, she turned around in a circle, the blue dress and pattern on her body were very beautiful.

Baicaoshi's eyes lit up. "Your craft is...weaving?"

Jiu Niang nodded, then shook her head again, she said: "I planted a kind of bluegrass at home. This kind of bluegrass can not only cure diseases, but also dye. The clothes I wear are all dyed by myself. I want to use this Fang Zi, exchange some silver taels."

What a simple wish.

Baicaoshi saw more in it.

In modern times, in Guizhou and Yunnan, there is an ancient technique called indigo dyeing. The mountain people grow indigo for dyeing, and indigo dyeing has a familiar name-banlangen. The name Banlangen may not be correct, because the herbal name isbanlan, but the medicinal part is the root, and the leaves are used for dyeing.

If Jiu Niang is in modern times, then she is a proper inheritor of non-heritage.

Baicaoshi asked: "Jiu Niang, is your house nearby? Can you dye a square scarf for me on the spot?"
