After the three-year exercise period, all the more than 20 or 30 surviving herb-picking boys were evaluated by Deputy Master Ji of the Medicine Hall, and under the auspices of the herb-picking masters, they killed chickens and sacrificed their gods, held a knife handover ceremony, and were officially promoted to her medicinal apprentice in the herb-picking hall.

Ye Qin took a symbolic herbicide knife from Wang's herbicide and carefully kept it in person. With this knife, it also means that he has already started his army and is qualified to go out to collect herbs independently or in groups.

Subsequently, Deputy Master Ji announced the rules that apprenticeships must abide by: after becoming apprenticeships for picking medicine, the medicinal materials collected must be handed over to the medicinal collection hall, and the appraiser will then identify the value of the medicinal materials and will be rewarded at 5% of the price of the herbs.

There is a minimum medicinal limit for every month - five silver leaves.

(This refers to the money that can be rewarded after picking up her medicinal apprentices, not the value of the medicinal materials themselves. The value of the medicinal materials far exceeds this number. If the calculations in the following text are not specified, they usually refer to the money that can be rewarded. In Wu Kingdom, one hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver leaf, and one hundred silver leaves can be exchanged for one golden leaf.)

If the minimum limit is not reached for two consecutive months, you will be punished. At the least, the reward amount will be reduced, and at the worst, the punishment will be dealt with by the prison hall.

If there are many medicinal materials collected every time you enter the mountain, the medicinal collection hall will gradually increase the reward amount by 6 to 10%, and even reward some extremely precious medicines refined by the medicinal collection hall, which can save your life at critical moments. If the reward amount exceeds 10%, you can be promoted to a medicinal collector. At that time, the reward will be even higher, 10 to 20%. When it reaches 20%, you are qualified to be promoted to a medicinal collector.

The apprentices who collected medicine were very happy.

In the past, when I went out to collect herbs with the herbs, I could only get one or two hundred copper coins hard rewards per month. But when I went out to collect herbs by myself, the price was evaluated according to the value of the herbs collected. The income I received would definitely be far more than before, and I could have at least five hundred copper coins (five silver leaves).

With this stimulation, the teenagers who had just been promoted to apprenticeship for picking medicines were anxious to pick herbs.

Yang Yicheng, Ye Qin, Feng Xiao, Qian Ruoxue, Sun Ying and other five brothers also made an appointment to form a group to collect herbs and take care of each other on the way.

Before leaving, Ye Qin went to the Yang family iron shop and said goodbye to Cheng Daniu. Cheng Daniu had been fighting with his father Yang for three years, and his muscles had become quite strong. He was no longer like the weak child at the time. He could make some money by wiping iron every month, and at least he could support himself.

Ye Qin was relieved that even if he was not here, the big bull could live well, so that he could go to the mountains to collect herbs with confidence.

Then, the five people left the county town and went to the deep mountains and old forests hundreds of miles to collect herbs.

Still following their previous team formation model, Ye Qin carried herb baskets and carried everyone's loads, walking in the middle. Yang Yicheng was leading the way in front, Sun Ying was supporting him, Qian Ruoxue and Ye Qin walked together to drive out insects and ants. Feng Xiao was floating around hundreds of steps around, picking up some low-value herbs.

Without that herbalist, there is no need to worry about being sent to risk his life to collect herbs. They seem very relaxed and comfortable along the way, chatting and laughing, and not going to venture out in the dangerous dangerous peak canyon.

For Ye Qin, carrying a weight is already a very easy job. After practicing for more than three years, the preface of the "Sitting and Forgetful Sutra" gradually grew a few points, and the physical strength he recovered was doubled each time. The three years of mental exercise have made him make great progress in physical strength and mentally sufficient.

After more than ten days, they were like traveling around the mountains and rivers, somewhat casual.

Ye Qin was a little worried.

Every night he would calculate the value of herbs in the herb basket. Calculating the value of herbs is one of the most basic abilities of herb collectors.

Because everyone did not collect herbs seriously, there were not many medicinal materials collected so far. He calculated carefully and divided them evenly, which was one more silver leaf medicinal material for each person, which was still far from the minimum limit for five silver leaves. However, one-third of the time had passed.

When Ye Qin told everyone about this situation, Yang Yicheng, Feng Xiao and others suddenly jumped up, and Qian Ruoxue and Sun Ying were also shocked.

This is no trivial matter.

If the task is not completed in the first month, then the next month will be in danger. The punishment in the medicinal hall is not for jokes. They have seen the bloody human skin in the punishment room and the bloody people who have been cramped and bone-pulled, all of whom were punished for violating certain rules of the church. Some of them failed to complete the task, some of them sold the collected medicinal materials to others privately, and some of them were caught by the rebel gang.

The dispersed atmosphere disappeared in an instant. In the next few days, they had to hurry to some canyons and cliffs, etc., which was dangerous, but there might be precious medicinal materials to take risks and collect as many herbs as possible.

In these dangerous places, Feng Xiao was the first to be sent on the field. Because he had the best light skills and the most flexible and agile skills, he was most confident in picking the medicinal materials on the cliff.

Feng Xiao complained quite dissatisfiedly, but the other four people unanimously asked him to go, so he had to go.

As a result, the medicinal materials in the herb basket that Ye Qin carried began to increase gradually. When the time was almost a month old, they had to leave the mountains and rush back to Zhuqi County. By the way back, they picked some low-value herbs in the wilderness to make up for the numbers.

Despite this, when we were about to arrive in the county, the five people poured out all the medicinal materials in the herb basket and divided them into five piles. Finally, they carefully calculated that there were about twenty-one silver leaves in the herb basket with a little more medicinal materials. Even if the price was higher, there were at least twenty-two silver leaves, and at least three silver leaves were missing.

The five people looked at each other in a glance.

In other words, only one to two people can complete the herb collection task, while the remaining three will definitely not complete the herb collection task this month.

Who takes five silver leaf herbs, and who takes four silver leaf herbs?

"I want to get five silver leaves. There are valuable herbs in them, at least half of which I picked them up with my life!"

After holding it in for a while, Feng Xiao asked for five silver leaves herbs.

Everyone was silent.

Feng Xiao took the most risk and had no objection to get five silver leaves.

But who can get more of the rest?

Yang Yicheng, Qian Ruoxue and Sun Ying both had opinions. Yang Yicheng said that she drove out jackals, tigers and leopards along the way, and she wanted to get more. Qian Ruoxue said that she caught many insects, snakes and medicinal materials on the way, and many of them were found by her, so she wanted to get more. Sun Ying said that she killed many wild animals, so why did she have to get less points?

It is related to whether the herb collection task can be completed this month, but no one is willing to make concessions easily.

Ye Qin was just watching silently because he had almost never picked herbs, and carrying a herb basket could not be a big "contribution". He didn't want to join this dispute for that little herb.

He suddenly felt a little sad when he watched the three of them quarreled. Even though they were brothers and sisters who had been united in order to save their lives for three years, they also started to argue in the face of the cruel interests of Myanmar.

A few people go together to collect herbs. Although it is convenient, they are easy to hurt their relationships in order to determine whether the medicine is fair.

Perhaps, it's time to consider going to collect herbs alone.

He is not the only one who has this idea.

After returning to the county medicinal collection hall, all the medicinal materials were sent to the medicine appraisal department in the inner hall to count the value of the medicinal materials. Ye Qin, Yang Yicheng, Qian Ruoxue and Sun Ying only collected four silver leaves. Because it was the first month, the amount of hair was lighter, each person was punished by ten whips, and one silver leaf was deducted and only three silver leaves were given.

Feng Xiaoyi was exempted from punishment because he collected enough medicine and was rewarded with five silver leaves.

The five returned to the stone house where they lived.

Feng Xiao was the first to propose to break up. He consciously went to collect herbs by himself, and could collect more herbs without being dragged down by others.

Yang Yicheng looked at Feng Xiao coldly and snorted coldly: "You have only learned light skills. If you meet a jackal, I see how you protect yourself!"

Feng Xiao didn't care: "I'm stupid and I can't beat him. Can't I run away? With my light skills, what kind of jackal can catch up with me?"

Yang Yicheng didn't say anything more, and he decided to collect herbs alone. With his skills in tearing up the wolf and splitting the tiger, he could not go anywhere.

Two days later, when they went to collect herbs, the five of them put their bags on their own and went their separate ways.

Qian Ruoxue and Sun Ying decided to go to collect herbs together. Before leaving, they asked Ye Qin and asked him if he was going with them. It would be easier to take care of him when there were too many people. Seeing their expressions, they were sympathetic to Ye Qin. Because Ye Qin was the weakest among the five, he had no force and no light skills, but he had enough physical strength and had been away for a long time. Most of the time they wanted to take Ye Qin with him was out of sympathy.

Ye Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head faintly. If the three of them left, he was still at the bottom of the way when the medicine was distributed. He decided to leave alone and try his luck.

Moreover, Ye Qin also felt a sense of arrogance in his heart, not believing that he would be much worse than the other four.
