Chapter 956 The old soldier comes to seek refuge

"This way, even if Changji Pharmacy has to pay an extra shipping fee from north to south, we'll still make a profit and help the people of the world, allowing everyone to have access to affordable and effective new anthelmintic medicine. It's truly the best of both worlds, and we're doing good for the world!"

Xun Zi, who had just arrived at this time, was like: "..."

Master, you've been here for so long, and you're becoming more and more naughty.

Doctor You's words won the hearts of the villagers and young soldiers present, and they all said, "Wu Ze Medicine Store is so righteous. They still care about the people of the world while doing business!"

Master Lu: “…”

What do you mean?

If I disagree, am I going against the people of the world? Am I being disloyal to the world?!

"Young Master." Manager Lu hurriedly tugged at Young Master Lu's sleeve, reminding him that now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to uphold justice to the end. He couldn't lose his money, his chance to get close to the Qin family, and his reputation for being a righteous man.

Young Master Lu was naturally not stupid. He smiled and said, "Wuzhe Medicine is righteous. I admire you and am willing to abide by this price so that the people of the world can have affordable medicine."

"Young Master Lu is a righteous man, and Changji Pharmacy is a righteous man." Doctor You was excited and happy. He gave Young Master Lu a return gift and was overwhelmed with the urge to act.

The villagers were very understanding and followed suit, saying, "Young Master Lu is righteous, and Changji Medicine Store is righteous."

"When did Master Lu come? Do you have a place to stay? I have a room for rent. If Master Lu is too crowded to stay, you can let your servants stay at my house!"

"Master Lu, my family runs a food stall and the food we make is delicious. I'll bring some to your place so you can have a taste. How about that? It's not expensive and you can afford it."

"Master Lu, I sell firewood. Firewood is a necessity. How about I send you a truckload?"

Whatever, Master Lu’s head is aching from all this trouble.

Fortunately, Doctor You said, "Master Lu, let's go to the Xue family store to sign the contract!"

"Okay." Young Master Lu didn't want to embarrass himself anymore, so he quickly followed Doctor You and left.

"Mr. Qin, our master and the sir have something to ask you about taro and wild potatoes. Please come with us to see our master and the sir." Seeing that Qin Xiaomi was finally free, Lu Qian spoke hurriedly, lest she ran away in the car and he would have to look for her again.

Qin Xiaomi turned his gaze towards him, and his eyes instantly became unfriendly, which frightened Shi Songxin, who was behind him, so much that he took a few steps back and moved to the side of the soldiers.

Qin Xiaomi smiled and looked at Shi Songxin. This kid Lu Qian just didn't get disciplined enough. If he was disciplined more, he would become sensible.

"Uncle Chen Nineteen and the other Lingnan people are right here in the camp. They've been eating taro and wild yams since they were little. If you have any questions, just ask them. Why are you asking me? Are you just too bored or too stupid?!"

"You, you, you... are so rude!" Lu Qian was very angry.

Qin Xiaomi: "Yes, yes, you are polite, well-educated, and knowledgeable, but you are useless. You can't even do the work properly, yet you have to come here to ask questions. You ask the wrong person, and you go far away to seek answers. You don't get any answers, and you get scolded. Why do you bother?"

Ahhh, Lu Qian was so angry that he wanted to go crazy on the spot, but he couldn’t, because he was from a noble family and had to have some manners.

Qin Xiaomi: "What's the matter? You look so dissatisfied and want to kill me? I gave you a trial of high-yield grains so that you could have a chance to make your name in history, and you still want to kill me? You are so ungrateful!"

"Boss Qin has misunderstood. Classmate Lu didn't mean that. He is just arrogant and can't speak. Boss Qin, please calm down." Shi Songxin hurried out to act as a lobbyist to prevent Lu Qian from being branded as ungrateful.

He pulled her forward again and whispered, "Be patient and make amends to her, otherwise you might lose more."

Don’t you know what this female king of hell looks like?

Shi Songxin really believed it and was afraid for Lu Qian.

"Besides, the meritorious service of our experiment in growing high-yield grains was indeed bestowed upon her. We scholars are all grateful for her kindness."

After hearing this, Lu Qian finally bowed to Qin Xiaomi and said, "Boss Qin, I'm sorry... but we didn't come here to ask how to grow the second potato. We came to ask for potato seeds. I heard you got a cart of potato seeds last night, and you should cook them today."

"Potato seeds are expensive. It's a bit too much to eat up a whole truckload. Please ask Mr. Qin to give us more than half of the truckload so that each of us students can get more potato seeds."

Qin Xiaomi: "Why didn't you just say it directly at the beginning? You didn't say it directly, but just talked nonsense. You also talked about going to see Mr. Qiong and Mr. Xun. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

Lu Qian, whose face flushed with anger, said: "..."

Shi Songxin: "Be patient. She is a woman and cannot enter the government. She cannot become our political enemy. Just be patient and it will pass."

Qin Xiaomi: "For the sake of life-saving food for the people of the world, I'll give you half a truckload. Go ask my grandma for it yourself... Also, don't come to me if you have any problems. Go to my grandparents or my second uncle. They'll agree to anything they can, and they'll ask me if they can't."

It's just as tiring and annoying as raising kids, and these kids aren't cute and look down on her.

Qin Xiaomi really wanted to poison them.

Lu Qian almost fainted... The Qin girl actually despised them for coming to her?

Does she know who they are?

Being able to come to her, a peasant girl, was giving her a chance to marry into a wealthy family. Not only did she not understand it, she also looked down on them. How could she, a peasant girl, dare to do that?

Did she know that she had lost the opportunity to have her descendants become members of a noble family?

Oh my god, if Qin Xiaomi knew this, she would definitely poison and castrate them... She's sick, so sick that it makes me want to pinch her philtrum.

Qin Xiaomi ignored them and looked at the two people standing guard halfway down the street.

One was Shen Du, who had given up business to take the exam to become a clerk, and the other was Mr. Lu's son. "Are you two here on behalf of the government? What's going on? Tell me."

After hearing this, Master Lu’s son was frightened... The Qin girl was so scary. If he talked to her, wouldn’t he be scolded even more miserably?

He is just a servant, but he does not have the status of Master Lu.

It was Shen Du who spoke again: "Boss Qin, we are here to inquire about the recruitment of workers for the herbal medicine workshop. A group of old soldiers have arrived outside the county gate, hoping to come to the Qin family to seek work."

It was no longer the villagers from other towns in the county who came to ask for work, but the old soldiers from other counties who came to ask for work with their military badges.

"Our Great Wei Emperor Taizong has issued an imperial decree to treat the retired veterans with respect and not to turn away their requests for help. That's why the county magistrate sent us here overnight to seek advice from Mr. Qin."

Qin Xiaomi asked, "How many people are here?"

Shen Du said, "The old general and his family have a total of 183 people. The oldest is 66 years old, and the youngest is only a few months old."

so small?

Qin Xiaomi frowned, then heard the sound of hurried footsteps. Turning back, she saw Grandpa Qin and Miao Bo and Miao Man rushing over. They said to Shen Du and the others from a distance, "Why didn't you come to me directly to tell me about such an important matter? Why did you wait so long? Did the government provide food for the old soldiers? Are they cold? It's already the middle of September, and the nights are very cold!"

Grandpa Qin was very excited, and it was obvious that he wanted to help his old friends.

Qin Xiaomi said, "Grandpa, calm down. Don't be impatient. We need to investigate first. Once we are sure everything is cleared, we can take him in to avoid any spies sneaking in."

Careful work?

How could the old soldier be a spy!

But Grandpa Qin also knew that his granddaughter was right: "Okay, Grandpa will listen to you."

He added, "Xiaomi, if there are no suitable positions, you don't have to force them to work. Grandpa can take care of it."

What can grandpa do with the families he brought here? Is he going to use all his annual salary of 1,000 households to support them?

But if we finance this meal, what will happen to the descendants of the old soldiers?

These old soldiers came here with their families in order to seek long-term survival for their descendants.
