Liu Feng asked several mountain people who often collected herbs and had done business with Taihe Pharmacy.
I learned about the purchasing situation of some medicinal materials.
"Now that you mention it, Taihe Pharmacy is doing good things. They're even paying 20% to 30% above the market price to buy your herbs."
"Yes, thanks to Taihe Medicine Store, the lives of us mountain dwellers who rely on the mountains for our livelihood have become much better over the past two years."
"The owner of Taihe Pharmacy is a very good man."
Liu Feng responded with a smile, but did not elaborate on the details.
In the deep mountains around Dasan Pass, there are many herbal farmers who make a living by collecting herbs. Because the land in the mountains is barren, it is difficult to make a living by relying on the land.
There are many precious medicinal herbs growing in these deep mountains, so they make a living from them, and even collect and plant them themselves.
People at Taihe Pharmacy will purchase medicinal materials in bulk on the middle days of every month, and people from other surrounding areas who have medicinal materials will bring them here to sell.
Over time, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Even those in more remote places, and even those mountain people who had not left the mountains for decades, knew about exchanging herbs for silver.
According to these mountain people, every household in the mountains now collects some medicinal herbs and sells them inside the mountain to supplement their family income.
If you are lucky enough to collect particularly precious medicinal herbs, you can become rich instantly.
According to the mountain people, an old hunter went into the mountains to hunt. While chasing prey, he fell off a cliff and thought he was dead.
He even reached the point of closing his eyes and waiting for death, but was covered by the web of vines under the cliff.
When he was feeling happy about surviving the disaster, he discovered that on the cliff where vines were intertwined, there was a very thick Polygonatum vine growing in a thin layer of soil.
The old hunter remembered that a young man from the same village said that this family could exchange a lot of money.
He simply dug it up and brought it to Taihe Pharmacy with the intention of giving it a try. However, he didn't expect that the gentleman who was judging the value of the medicinal material, which was just a piece of Polygonatum sibiricum, said it was more than 60 years old and directly gave the old hunter 30 taels of silver.
The old hunter's family suddenly became a wealthy family among the mountain people.
I heard that new houses have been built recently.
Liu Feng asked about the general direction of these herbal farmers' homes and then left.
This situation should be the same as it goes east along this route. Taihe Pharmacy has almost monopolized the entire low-end drug supply market with its price advantage.
This is bad news for Liu Feng, but also good news.
As long as Taihe Pharmacy is taken over, all of this will be paving the way for Liu Feng.
Liu Feng's idea was very simple. Qian Mu would definitely take action next, and by then, he was afraid that the medicinal herbs in the surrounding area would no longer be available.
Liu Feng then obtained the detailed information about this route from the old shopkeeper of Siwa Village.
The entire Taihe Pharmacy’s base for purchasing medicinal materials was occupied.
Then this route became Liu Feng's.
This is what it means: those who plant trees will enjoy the shade.
If it had not affected Liu Feng, he would naturally not have had a problem with Taihe Pharmacy.
However, the monopoly of Taihe Pharmacy affected the use of medicines by the army and the entire population of Xinhedu.
In that case, he won't be polite.
After the porridge distribution was over, it was already late when Liu Feng returned to General Qian's residence. He simply packed up and went to rest.
In the next few days, Qian Tian basically took Song Ling'er with her and accompanied Liu Feng to travel inside the pass. The purpose was very simple.
Liu Feng didn't have any feelings for this Miss Song. Although she was kind-hearted, Liu Feng always felt that she was too sanctimonious.
However, Song Linger's feelings for Liu Feng became stronger and stronger. She looked at Liu Feng with eyes full of admiration, and even her words and actions were a little shy.
After staying for a few days, Liu Feng strictly controlled Qian Mu's eating habits.
Qian Mu, who was used to eating big fish and meat, almost went crazy after eating the light porridge.
After Liu Feng suggested that it was time to leave Dasan Pass, Qian Mu let Liu Feng leave without any hesitation.
I originally planned to stay for a few more days to check on Qian Mu's condition. After all, in this era, if an infection occurs during surgery, it will lead to sudden death.
But after so many days, the wound has recovered very well and there is no sign of infection. The critical period has finally passed. Now everyone in the Qian family is relieved.
But it is understandable. After all, Qian Mu was a military general with an extremely strong body. Moreover, he was only about fifty years old.
With such a great body, it is completely understandable that he recovered so well. When Liu Feng was about to leave, he was able to get out of bed normally.
Song Ling'er was the one who was most reluctant to see Liu Feng off. She had been completely bewitched by Liu Feng and was a little absent-minded at this time.
Qian Tian kept trying to persuade her, saying that they would see each other again, etc., but Song Ling'er turned a deaf ear to her.
In fact, Qian Tian was reminding Song Linger to be more direct.
Although Song Ling'er is kind-hearted, she is extremely intelligent. She has already seen that her husband doesn't like her that much. Since she wants to leave, there is no point in trying to keep her.
Since you have to have regrets, then leave them.
In fact, she knew in her heart that from now on, they would be separated from each other and would never have the chance to see each other again in this life.
Of course, it is really hard to see the doctor anymore, but she will still see Liu Feng.
Liu Feng never imagined that when he arrived at Dasan Pass next time, it was this woman who recognized him at a glance.
It almost caused trouble.
After returning to the village.
Liu Lang's tribesmen have built the salt ponds that Liu Feng needed as requested and have enclosed them all.
Zhuzi did not disappoint Liu Feng, and the first batch of light crossbows had been produced.
After Liu Feng handed this batch of light crossbows to Lin Xiaoxi and asked her to lead everyone in training, Liu Feng led his men to start cooking salt.
After a whole day of work, the three salt pools were completely filled. The next thing to do was to wait for the edible salt to slowly crystallize naturally.
Liu Feng did not neglect this batch of salt and went through all the processes eight times.
He believed that the first layer of salt crystallizing on the top would be purer and whiter than ever before in this era.
Even the coarse salt in the last layer will reach an extremely high quality after filtering and screening, which is enough to beat the salt merchants in the entire Youzhou.
After all, salt that has not been filtered and free of impurities not only has a poor appearance, but also has a poor color and a strong bitter taste.
But the salt made by Liu Feng has absolutely no bitter taste.
Even if the color is a little worse, it will be worth a lot of money after being packaged by Liu Feng.
If the color tends to be dark red, it is the famous peach blossom salt.
If the color is a bit yellowish and looks unattractive, then it is a good product for health preservation.
If the color is light golden, then it is golden salt.
Liu Feng had already thought of it and asked Zhuzi to make a batch of gift boxes and wrap the salt with oil paper. It would definitely be the favorite of wealthy families and dignitaries.
