"Now we have signed an agreement with Liu Dekun, which means we support Liu Dekun.

If we let him lurk in our Great Wei, then we will give him a chance to catch his breath.

If he contacts the officials of Southern Shu privately and kills Liu Dekun, he will be of no use to our Great Wei if he comes to power again.

What we are doing now is to get close to Liu Dekun, and of course we have become a thorn in Liu Dexian's eyes.

If he controls Southern Shu and launches an attack on Wei, we will be attacked from both sides," Shangguan Ziqi explained.

"Oh, I see. That means we cannot give him any chance to bring down Crown Prince Liu. This will also eliminate the possibility of Southern Shu and Great Wei becoming enemies."

"That's right. Dawei, Liu Dekun didn't openly cross the border to investigate, but it is much easier for us to investigate." Shangguan Ziqi nodded in appreciation.

Madam is really smart, she understands everything immediately.

"But, Dawei is so vast, how can we find the person?" Yu Yuanzheng was a little worried.

This is not the future, where there is surveillance and identity registration everywhere.

"It's okay. We just need to do our best and let local authorities keep an eye out for strangers. We have more important things to do." Shangguan Ziqi didn't stay just to find the prince of Southern Shu.

"Anything else?"

"Of course it's a big deal, Madam. We have so much money in our hands now, so of course we have to keep the medicine shop open. This place is very close to Southern Shu, so we can build another base here and slowly infiltrate Southern Shu."

After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng's face broke into a bright smile.

She just likes to make more money.

The next day, Cao Jinyu borrowed a hundred light cavalry from the border garrison and set out back to the capital with the fake iron box.

Shangguan Ziqi started to busy himself with the pharmacy business.

Now I have plenty of money, so I buy workshops, shops, and people.

Qingfeng and the others all received the mission.

Yu Yuanzheng naturally provides technology.

In order to make Yu Yuanzheng's life more relaxed, Shangguan Ziqi bought two maids for her to serve.

However, Yu Yuanzheng always appears in men's clothing.

Yu Yuanzheng named them Zhilan and Zhiruo respectively.

Both were ten years old. They had worked as maids for a wealthy family. But because their father thought they were too pretty and was afraid that their master would take them in, he sold them.

Both of them were literate maids, which made Yu Yuanzheng very satisfied.

A maid who can read and write is more useful.

She started writing prescriptions and making pills again.

He ordered the two maids around in circles.

After Shangguan Ziqi bought two servants who had a certain knowledge of medicinal materials, she began to teach them how to make pills. They used to work as medicine boys in a pharmacy, but when the family could no longer run the business, they sold the little medicine boys.

They were all slaves sent to the pharmacy by the old family.

When the shopkeeper chooses the buyer, the shop starts to prepare.

This time I’m buying a shop instead of renting one. I can do whatever I want when I have money.

I bought a medium-sized shop on a busy street in Luojiang City and spent half a month decorating it.

During this period, Yu Yuanzheng organized people to make a lot of pills.

Shangguan Ziqi, with his ten guards, was not just busy running the pharmacy.

At the same time, they were also gathering information from all over Luojiang City.

Then they spread out to several surrounding counties to inquire, still using the old method, looking for some local landlords or beggars, these people have the sharpest eyes, and they know the people in their territories best, especially unfamiliar faces.

Before they left Southern Shu, Liu Dekun gave Shangguan Ziqi a portrait of Liu Dexian.

Shangguan Ziqi drew a few more pictures.

Let them take it in groups.

After half a month, he actually got some news.

Two months ago, a young man from Beijing came here and said that he was not satisfied with the marriage arranged for him by his family, so he ran away to avoid the marriage. But a few days later, he disappeared. However, he always wore a mask, so no one had seen his true face.

The guards were unable to find out more specific details, such as which family in the capital city it was or who it was.

This kind of news can only be listened to, it doesn't seem to have any immediate effect.

But he also told Yu Yuanzheng.

August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival again. The streets are bustling with activity as the Shiritang in Luojiang City officially opens.

The shopkeeper’s surname is Qian, and his name is Qian Peiyuan.

He is also a middle-aged uncle, with a shrewd look in his eyes, and he can come up with an idea.

Shangguan Ziqi was attracted by his cleverness. Since this place is far from the capital, it is difficult to take care of the business here, so he needs a capable manager to help him support this business.

This shopkeeper was also the shopkeeper of the Yi family in a wealthy family. However, he was unlucky and his entire family was suddenly wiped out.

Until now, it has not been discovered who the culprits were. These slaves who had signed the indenture and had been registered by their families with the government had no choice but to be returned to the government. Slaves without a bond would be sold by the government again unless they had enough money to redeem themselves.

The shopkeeper Qian has a family of eleven people.

He didn't have enough money to redeem everyone at once, so he had to redeem his two sons and their families, and he had no more money.

The couple and his mother were sold.

Shangguan Ziqi bought all three of them together.

He also agreed to let his two sons and their families come to do the work together.

This solved his worries and the whole family could work together for him.

Shangguan Ziqi already had a mature plan for opening a shop. He hired a lion dance team and hired people to walk around the streets holding signs to promote the business.

When most people had gathered, the shopkeeper started to encourage them again.

This place is close to the Southern Shu Kingdom, and there are many merchants coming and going.

Many people regard Luojiang City as a stopover when doing business between the two sides.

These people travel for business all year round and need pills as their regular medicine.

As soon as they got the news, they all came to see what was going on.

Moreover, there are Shiritang in many places in Wei, and the merchants are well-informed. Some of them even know that this was the medicine prescribed by a genius doctor who once appeared in the capital.

With the foundation laid in the past, the opening of Tokado went very smoothly.

That day, several businessmen came to the shopkeeper to discuss cooperation, hoping to buy pills from Shi Ri Tang and sell them in Southern Shu.

Manager Qian did not dare to make any move and went back to the back hall to report to Shangguan Ziqi.

"What do you think, little brother?" Shangguan Ziqi looked at Yu Yuanzheng.

The two of them are now a miracle doctor duo, and Shangguan Ziqi calls her his little brother.

"If we don't open a shop in Nanshu for the time being, this is a good way to do wholesale. Let the merchants promote our pills there, and then we can open a shop in Nanshu when we have the energy."

"Well, I also think it's feasible, but medicinal materials are a problem." Shangguan Ziqi's biggest problem is the supplier of medicinal materials.

"Manager Qian, you can cooperate with those merchants and ask them to import some medicinal materials from Southern Shu to exchange for pills with us. This way we can solve part of our medicinal material problem." Shangguan Ziqi thought of an idea.

"Yes, son. I'll discuss it with them right away." Shopkeeper Qian knew what to do as soon as he heard it.

But on this particular afternoon, when the shop was about to close, there were no customers in the store.

At this time, a woman walked into the pharmacy with a little maid.

The woman was well-dressed and one could tell at first glance that she was a daughter of a wealthy family or an official. She looked to be about seventeen, with a good appearance.

"Miss, what medicine do you want to buy?" Xiao Er greeted warmly.

"I'm looking for the shopkeeper." The woman stated her purpose directly.

"I wonder what the young lady wants to do for you?" Shopkeeper Qian was counting today's bills at the counter.

"Boss, this Shi Ri Tang is a branch of the Shi Ri Tang in the capital, right?" The girl also knew this.

"Yes, I wonder what the girl means by asking this?"

Shopkeeper Qian was a little surprised. If he hadn't been bought to be the shopkeeper and learned about it from those businessmen, he wouldn't have known it, but this girl knew it.

"Boss, has the great doctor Zeng come to Luojiang City?" the woman asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Miss, do you want to find a miracle doctor?" Shopkeeper Qian understood her purpose.
