Chapter 279 Strong Control
Ji Wuyin said, "I need to seriously consider this matter."
Lu Songli nodded, "Okay."
Lu Songli stopped trying to persuade him. As the saying goes, slow work pays off. She was always patient. The fish was already trying to bite. Just be patient. It was only a matter of time before she caught it.
At this time, Ji Wuyin just felt that she was very patient and had a good sense of propriety, so she didn't offend others and then develop a rebellious mentality.
Not long after, Lu Songli and Ji Wuyin's men finished calculating the medicinal materials needed by Ji Wuyin.
The result was that the value of the medicinal herbs provided by Lu Songli was roughly equivalent to the value of 10,000 dan of grain. In other words, Lu Songli needed to provide other goods that Ji Wuyin would like in order to complete the transaction.
Ji Wuyin took a look at the list and found that the price she offered was very fair. If his own people purchased it in Liaodong County, it would be about the same.
"I'd like to ask Mr. Ji to look at a few things and see if they can catch your eye."
Ji Wuyin understood that this was a different kind of merchandise. "Okay, thank you for your help."
Following Lu Songli's order, the people below soon brought up a plate with three exquisite porcelain bottles on it.
"What is this?" Ji Wuyin asked.
Lu Songli explained, "These three bottles of medicine, from left to right, are Jingui Shenqi Pills, Xiaoyao Pills, and Liushen Pills."
Ji Wuyin: "What's the use?"
Xue Xu, who was standing by, said, "There's a piece of paper next to it with an explanation on it."
Ji Wuyin lifted the paper from the porcelain bottle and read it. It listed the conditions that the three medicines treated. Jingui Shenqi Pills were a water-honeyed pill that warmed and tonified the kidney yang, used to treat kidney deficiency-related edema, soreness of the waist and knees, difficulty urinating, and chills and cold limbs.
Xiaoyao Pills are mainly used to treat symptoms such as depression, chest and flank distension, dizziness, and irregular menstruation caused by liver depression and spleen deficiency.
Liushen Pills can cool down and detoxify, relieve pain and reduce fever. They are used to treat throat problems such as laryngitis, sore throat, and single and double breast ulcers. They can also be used to treat children's fever furuncles, acute convulsions, carbuncles, furuncles, breast abscesses, back swelling, and other unexplained swelling and pain.
"Can I open it and take a look?"
Lu Songli made a gesture of invitation, "Mr. Ji, please go ahead."
As Ji Wuyin opened the bottle, a strong medicinal aroma filled the air. The first two pills were small, but the Liushen Pills were even smaller, barely the size of a pinhole.
"Do these medicines really work?"
"It works. If Mr. Ji doesn't believe it, you can find someone else to test the medicine."
Ji Wuyin nodded and said, he would.
"How about we trade these three kinds of medicine for the remaining ten thousand dan of grain with Mr. Ji?"
"Can."
"These three medicines have prices. Mr. Ji, please tell us how much you need and we can provide you with the order." As she spoke, Lu Songli gulped down the tea in her cup. Her time was almost up. She was very busy now. After finishing her conversation with Ji Wuyin, she had to get busy with other things.
Ji Wuyin was very confused at this moment. He didn't expect that they had such good things. Now he wanted everything. What should he do?
These three pills are for men, women, and children, respectively, taking care of all three types of people in the market. It really catches everyone, young or old.
If these pills really had the effects described on paper, he could already foresee how well they would sell in the South.
Especially the Jinkui Shenqi Pills, he knew how much a man was willing to spend on him in that aspect.
Lu Songli stood up at this time and said, "Mr. Ji, I have something else to do here, so I'll excuse myself first. Could Mr. Xue please entertain us and show us how to be a good host?"
"Of course, Madam Qin Liu, please go and take care of your business."
Lu Songli nodded at them and walked out. When he passed by Ji Wuyin, he paused and said, "Mr. Ji, you should seriously consider my suggestion."
This time Ji Wuyin nodded solemnly.
As soon as Lu Songli left, Ji Wuyin began to sigh.
"What's wrong with you? You look like the sky is falling?"
"I have a feeling my money is going to leave me."
A smile flashed across Xue Xu's eyes, "Isn't this normal?"
"Your elbow is turned outward!" Ji Wuyin accused.
Xue Xu didn't want to argue with him about this, and instead asked, "Is your investigation finished? How were the results? Are you satisfied?"
Ji Wuyin was very conflicted, but when Xue Xu asked him about his thoughts, he and his good friend no longer hid anything. "I don't know how to say it. Can I say that this result is beyond my expectations?" Sure enough, the new lord that the old immortal had his eyes on was no ordinary person.
This aroused Xue Xu's curiosity, "How do you say that?"
"My original intention in proposing to discuss this deal with Madam Qin Liu in person was to see if the Lu family, father and daughter, and especially your new lord, Lu Songli, as the top leader of Liaodong County, were open-minded enough to allow their subordinates to make money and enjoy themselves."
In fact, they all know that when it comes to the importance of the investment environment, Lu Songli was the observer before, and now she is the observed.
If she is narrow-minded and petty in this transaction, then I have to suspect that she does not want the people below to live well, does not want them to make money, or even if they make money, they may not be able to take it away.
"I think you're just investigating this point. I think you must be satisfied. Madam Qin Liu isn't trying to stop you from making money. She didn't undercut you on the price of the grain you sold, and the price she sold you for the medicinal herbs was also very fair."
Ji Wuyin knew, of course, that Lü Songli had been very generous in this deal, willing to share the profits with them, clearly happy to see her followers live well. She ate the meat herself and was also willing to give her followers some broth.
However, he couldn't take the money he earned with him. He couldn't take it with him at all! It was very likely that he would have to continue paying money to Liaodong County. He was very sad.
Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Ji Wuyin personally experienced the methods of Madam Qin Liu, and then he realized that what the old immortal said was true.
Lu Songli's control was too strong. She could calmly let him earn the profits he deserved, then turn around and make him willingly give them back, even adding more money!
People with such a broad mind have the potential to achieve great things.
Xue Xu: "Why don't you speak up? Are you satisfied with Madam Qin Liu's performance? Don't worry about it. It's only making your old face more wrinkled and unsightly."
Ji Wuyin said, "I am satisfied, but when I think about so much money leaving me, I feel extremely heartbroken."
Xue Xu smiled and said, "You're right. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. It's always a good idea to prepare a way out for yourself."
Ji Wuyin nodded. After all, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so it doesn’t matter if he has one more burrow.
"You old fool, you have a very sharp eye. This Lv Songli is worthy of being your chosen lord. She is particularly good at taking advantage of others."
"You have to get used to her ruthless nature."
Ji Wuyin complained, "This isn't just plucking feathers from a passing goose; this is leaving the goose without feathers."
In short, he had come to her territory in Liaodong County. He could not expect to make money, as he could not take it with him. He could only spend the money he earned in Houcheng and not take a cent home.
