"It shouldn't be a big problem." Although Shangguan Ziqi didn't say anything definite, the tone of his voice made people know it was an affirmation.
"Thank you so much. Madam, please prepare a table of wine and food. Mingxuan, please have a drink with Young Master Guan and the genius doctor." Fang Guilin felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he felt more relaxed than ever before.
He originally wanted to drink with them himself, but considering his health, he had to let his son come.
"Fang family, that's not necessary. I just want to know whether you can deliver the two thousand taels of gold you promised?" Yu Yuanzheng was concerned about the consultation fee for her today. This was the purpose of her lowering her status to come to the Fang family.
"Haha, don't worry, genius doctor, I will definitely pay you the consultation fee." Fang Guilin felt extremely happy at this moment.
The two thousand taels of gold not only saved him, but saved the entire Fang family.
I gave this medical fee willingly.
The couple couldn't resist the host's hospitality and stayed for a sumptuous lunch.
At the dinner table, people don’t talk while eating.
Fang Jiaqi was very talkative and told many stories about his experiences traveling around the country over the years and the history of his family's rise to wealth.
"Mr. Fang, you often visit Canglan Kingdom. Tell us more about Canglan Kingdom." Yu Yuanzheng suggested.
For so long, she knew very little about this country, and many things about the Shangguan family were related to it.
"Dr. Zeng has never been to Canglan Country, right?"
"Yes. So I want to hear more. Do they have a lot of medicinal herbs?" Yu Yuanzheng asked curiously.
"Canglan doesn't have as many medicinal herbs as we do in Dawei, but their land is wider than ours, with more mountains and plains. The output of ginseng is much higher than ours. There are also deer antlers and musk."
"oh."
"Mr. Fang, do you know anything about the capital of Canglan Kingdom?" Shangguan Ziqi asked. This is a political issue.
"I know a little bit. The current Emperor Canglan is already fourteen years old. I heard that he was born to a concubine.
The reason why he was able to ascend to the throne was because his sister had been poisoned for the emperor at the time and died.
Then Hui Jiqi was given the title of virtuous concubine, because the death of his daughter won him the favor of the late emperor, and he eventually ascended to the throne."
Shangguan Ziqi had never heard of this news.
"So when did his sister die?"
"I think it was when he was thirteen. I'm not sure exactly."
Then the couple asked more questions about Canglan Country, and Fang Guilin told them everything he knew.
Most of them are about where and what medicinal materials are produced.
When Yu Yuanzheng and his wife walked out of Fang's house, Shangguan Ziqi was still carrying the medicine box in his hand, while Chunlei and Xia Yu were carrying a box together.
What's inside is self-evident.
Yu Yuanzheng's mouth corners were raised high.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Shangguan Ziqi asked jokingly when he saw that she hadn't lowered her smile for a long time.
"That's right. This money comes really fast. Two thousand taels of gold. Our shop can only make 10,000 taels a year at most. This is equivalent to more than the annual income of two shops."
"Money-grubber. Don't worry, we have opened more and more shops. When they are almost full, you won't have to invest anymore. By then, the daily profit will be more than two thousand taels of gold." Shangguan Ziqi described Mei Tu's future to her.
"real?"
"Um."
Yu Yuanzheng was in an even better mood.
Most of the money they had was left to He Yuan to open a shop.
Today they suddenly have a lot more money in their hands.
"Husband, let's build a base here. It's not too far from the border town, and it's convenient for both advancing and retreating.
After the border is unblocked, we can expand our business to Canglan Country, make money from them, and use the Fang family as a bridge. "Yu Yuanzheng suggested.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too." Shangguan Ziqi had already planned this.
He just didn't know how long the border could remain stable, and he felt there would be a major war.
Canglan has been suppressing his anger for so many years, and he will not stop until he lets it out.
Return to the rented courtyard.
Shangguan Ziqi started to get busy.
It is Chinese New Year now, and many industries are not open.
He wants to buy a yard to set up a workshop.
He also needs to buy and recruit people.
There are so many things to do when reorganizing a group of people.
Qingfeng was sent by him to smooth over the relationship and get the Fang family's shipment of goods from Canglan back.
Four years ago, Shangguan Ziqi came here to fight a battle. He knew the commander of the border army and they had a good relationship.
If he comes forward, there will be no problem in letting a few people out.
Mingyue was sent by him to the home of the owner of the dental shop to discuss the purchase of the yard.
This is not the capital, so prices are not expensive. You can buy a larger courtyard with a few hundred taels of silver.
After the eighth day of the first lunar month, all walks of life began to open.
People who wanted to find work also came into the city.
Shangguan Ziqi bought someone who could do some work to help him.
Luo Zhongliang is a middle-aged man in his forties.
He used to be the owner of a medical clinic. Due to a serious medical dispute caused by someone's trick, he had to pay more than one hundred taels of silver to his family. All his savings over the years were still not enough, and he could not borrow any more, so he had to sell his entire family to pay off the debt.
Because the whole family was required to sell together, the items were kept in the hands of the dealer for two or three months before being sold.
When I was going to Yuanshan to buy people, I met him.
This kind of talent is just right for them.
The whole family bought it, including Luo Zhongliang and his wife, his son and his wife, and a one-year-old grandson.
They also had a daughter, but she was already married.
Seeing such things happening in her parents' home, her husband's family has long controlled her strictly and forbade her to get involved with her parents' home, otherwise she would be divorced.
With this family, Shangguan Ziqi's affairs were handled much faster.
Yu Yuanzheng personally taught Luo Zhongliang's son and daughter-in-law how to make pills.
His wife's surname is Sun, his son's surname is Luo Dayong, and his daughter-in-law's surname is Ke.
The couple studied very hard. They worked in a pharmacy, so they understood many things after they were explained.
It only took ten days to learn how to make more than a dozen kinds of pills.
At this time, the rented medicine shop in Jingkai City was also reorganized.
The Fang family has already transported back a batch of medicinal herbs from the border town. Yu Yuanzheng checked them and found that they were all top-quality herbs.
They are all medicinal herbs with relatively low yields.
With these medicinal herbs, Yu Yuanzheng's thoughts flowed like a spring, and prescriptions for using these herbs popped up one after another.
Teach Luo Dayong and his wife how to do it all.
Then workshops began to produce them in large numbers.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Qingfeng came back from the border town and communicated with the commander of the border town, agreeing to let him lead the troops out in person.
Qingfeng is the guard of Prince Rong's mansion and also the guard of the eldest son. He holds the eldest son's private seal, so of course he should be given this face.
Moreover, these generals guarding the border were basically arranged by Prince Rong.
Qingfeng reported his situation to Shangguan Ziqi and then went to the Fang family. He took Fang Mingxuan with him and went to Canglan Kingdom to transport the batch of medicinal materials back.
When Fang Guilin got the news, he was so happy that he ate a big bowl of rice at noon that day.
His anorexia was completely cured.
"My husband, we earned those two thousand taels of gold so easily." Yu Yuanzheng joked to herself when she heard the news.
"Hmph, even if the Fang family gives you another two thousand taels, you will feel that it is too little." Shangguan Ziqi looked unhappy.
"Why?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't understand why her husband had a sour face.
"Who are you? You are the eldest lady of my Rong Palace. Your status is not much different from that of some princesses of counties. He is just a merchant. How can he be qualified to listen to you play the piano? If I knew in advance that you were going to treat him in this way, your husband would definitely not agree." Shangguan Ziqi's arrogance as a young master was fully revealed.
"Haha..., you mean bastard. I didn't think that much."
"You are lowering your status." Shangguan Ziqi did not say that he looked down on the merchants, but he had grown up in the aristocratic circle of the capital. If he had not helped his wife realize her dream, he would have rarely had the opportunity to deal with these merchants.
The pride he had since childhood was given to him by his status.
“Alright, we are a group of folk miracle doctors now. Put away your noble arrogance and don’t affect my ability to make money.” Yu Yuanzheng patted him lightly with a warning.
"Yes, ma'am." Shangguan Ziqi was just talking and would not stop Yu Yuanzheng from doing anything.
As long as his wife is happy, he will support her.
The cooperation is in full swing.
On the 20th day of the first lunar month, a medicine shop named "Shi Ri Tang" officially opened on a not-too-bustling street in Jingkai City.
Just type in that it’s a miracle doctor’s shop.
Moreover, the miracle doctor would personally see patients for 10 days, and only see ten patients a day, with a consultation fee of 10 taels of silver per person. After 1 day, if any family wanted to invite the miracle doctor before he left, they would have to pay 1,000 taels of silver per person.
She asked Manager Luo to write this as a slogan and post it outside the shop so that people would know in advance.
When the news spread throughout the city, all kinds of opinions were heard.
Just because of the one thousand taels of medical fee, the people had spread the reputation of this pharmacy without them having to advertise it specifically.
On the first day of opening, various pills were not sold in large quantities. People here were not as wealthy as those in the capital, so they were all taking a wait-and-see attitude.
