After a busy afternoon, we finally collected all the medicinal herbs in the village.
The villagers held the silver and all had smiles on their faces.
They were no longer as worried as before, and now they regretted not collecting more herbs.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Boss Bei, are you still buying these herbs?"
"Yes. I'll come again around this time next month."
Everyone in the village looked excited.
On the way back, both carriages were filled with medicinal herbs.
They did not transport these medicinal herbs back home, but transported them to another house rented by Yibei Boss.
Dai Xiang watched the groom carry bags of herbs into the room and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Mu, are we planning to switch to the herbal medicine business?"
Little Moer actually didn't quite understand his mother's intention. He only guessed that some of the expensive medicinal materials were to be sold to Gu's at a high price so that Gu could treat those disfigured women.
In this way, they earned money from the Gu family with their left hand, and used the money to buy Gu's shops, farms, and land with their right hand.
It was completely a case of getting something for nothing, using Gu's money to buy Gu's shops and fertile land.
Xiao Moer silently memorized this trick and thought about how to apply it to other places.
"Mother, what are the uses of those medicinal herbs such as Panax notoginseng and licorice?" asked Xiao Moer.
These herbs were very common, not very expensive, and not the kind used to treat women's illnesses. Yet, his mother purchased them in large quantities, and he couldn't understand why.
He really couldn't figure it out, so he asked.
Bei Yutang couldn't tell him that in May, floods would break out in the south, and a large number of refugees would appear. They would pour into all the major cities, even Chang'an City would be no exception.
After the great disaster, there was a terrible plague.
When the plague broke out, corpses were everywhere.
At that time, she followed Gu Pianran and saw too many corpses. She looked at the corpses and livestock exposed in the wilderness, emitting a foul stench, and saw countless people dying from the plague.
It was at that time that Gu Pianran met Xue Qian, and together with Xue Qian she developed a way to treat the plague. She formulated a series of hygiene measures, which brought her and Xue Qian's reputation to its peak.
This is also why when there was a problem with Gu Pianran's rouge later, she was able to easily uncover it.
How could such a kind person sell poisonous things to the people? There must be a villain behind this.
This plague can be said to have established Gu Pianran's status in the hearts of the people.
How could Gu Pianran miss this plague?
Bei Yutang couldn't tell them the unknown things. Even if he did, outsiders would just think that he was spreading rumors to mislead the public.
"You'll know when the time comes."
Seeing that his mother didn't want to say more, Xiao Moer stopped asking.
"We'll go to other states to purchase medicinal herbs tomorrow." Bei Yutang said.
The next day, Bei Yutang and his group took a carriage to another state capital, and Bei Lin, who had just returned from the military camp, hurried to the Lei's Trading Company to look for them. He had previously trained his own soldiers in the military camp, and had used the method provided by Bei Yutang to train his own personal soldiers. The results of the training surprised Bei Lin.
He ran back excitedly to tell her the good news, but he came back empty-handed.
Then he learned from the shopkeeper Qin about the recent major events in Chang'an City, and was very angry.
Tang Jingyu, this bastard woman dared to bully his friend. She was really looking for death.
