Chapter 669: Damn Seller No.
The Wen family is a powerful family with a large number of pigeon trainers and several routes for sending messages by carrier pigeons. They are also one of the many owners of Changji Pharmacy.
Therefore, on the third day, five convoys headed straight for the county town, led by Manager Wen to meet County Magistrate Kang, who said that they wanted to follow the example of the Qu family and go to Taifeng Town to help the people.
County Magistrate Kang was naturally pleased to see this happen. He gave several handwritten letters to Manager Wen and sent yamen runners to lead the way, taking five civilian medical teams to Taifeng Town, Leibao Town, Shuanghe Town, Junshi Town, and Huaixian Town.
Manager Wen was very satisfied: "Thank you, County Magistrate."
“After you arrive at the place, help the people to dig medicinal herbs. If you can’t stand the hard work, you can go back directly, but you must not do unnecessary work.” County Magistrate Kang was really afraid that other powerful families would make mistakes again and ruin his achievements!
"Yes, don't worry, County Magistrate. I am only going there to help the people." Steward Wen assured.
"Yes." County Magistrate Kang nodded with satisfaction and let him leave.
The Wen family's five-member civilian medical team set out on the same day and rushed to the five towns to dig for medicinal materials with great momentum.
And that day the words of praise spread throughout the county.
Liu Fangyu from the Baofu County branch of Changji Pharmacy also rushed to Taifeng Town with a doctor and five pharmacists.
This time he was smart and did not dare to bother the Qin family. He went directly to ask for an interview with Wen Tao.
When Wen Tao met him, he assigned the people he brought with him to Qu's shop, which provided free services to help people identify medicinal herbs.
Fourth Master Qu was unhappy, but as he was a half-slave, he had no right to say no to his master, so he had to smile and accept Liu Fangyu's men.
He assigned a lot of work to Liu Fangyu's people, making them so tired that they didn't even have the energy to eat.
The next day was the day Xue Dongjia set off for the capital, but when he learned that Liu Fangyu had come to the town, he deliberately postponed his trip for half a day and went to meet Wen Tao.
Boss Xue said some things about how Liu Fangyu might harm the powerful families, which made Wen Tao alert. After expressing his dissatisfaction with Liu Fangyu, he left with peace of mind.
Mr. Wen Tao saw him out of the hospital and said, "It's not winter yet, Qin and Jiang haven't come out yet, and we don't know the final situation of the spy's nest. Mr. Xue is going back to the capital? Why not stay for a month or so and leave after the matter of the spy's nest is settled?"
You are so hypocritical. If I really don’t want to leave, you will be so angry that you will smash the teacup!
Xue Dongjia smiled and said, "No, these important state affairs are handled by the officials and soldiers. I am just a businessman, so I don't need to pay too much attention to state affairs. It's better to go home as soon as possible."
Wen Tao: “…”
Is Xue Zhui scolding him? !
Mr. Wen Tao was angry, but Xue Zhui was already His Majesty's man and was in the limelight, so he had to stay away from him.
Even the head of the family wrote to him, asking him to respect Xue Zhui and to treat Xue Zhui as a new noble and make friends with him.
Upstart?
Xue is worthy of being a lowly businessman!
But whether he is worthy or not is not decided by him, but by the current situation.
Now Xue Zhui has more weight in front of Lord Liang and His Majesty than they do.
"Brother Xue, have a safe trip. If you need help with anything, you can go find my Wen family." Mr. Wen Tao smiled and showed his friendliness.
Xue Dongjia accepted his kindness, thanked him, and left.
The Qin family, the Guan clerk, and the Deputy Envoy Yu all came to see Xue Dongjia off.
As for Huang Yanglong...
After thinking it over, Xue Dongjia decided to take him back to the capital.
Huang Yanglong was very resistant and said, "Get lost, I don't want to spend the New Year at your house!"
But Xue Dongjia said: "Now that all forces in the capital have gathered together, you come back with me to the capital, and I will take you to meet guests, so that you can build a bigger network of contacts."
Huang Yanglong said: "This young master doesn't care!"
Boss Xue was furious and had no time to argue with the naughty kid, so he just asked Xue Lei to pin him down and beat him up, and then promised him some benefits and talked about Zheng Nandan's achievements in the capital... Chief Steward Huang also begged hard and finally convinced Huang Yanglong.
Therefore, Huang Yanglong also followed Xue Dongjia back to the capital.
However, he left Xiaobai and a group of servants behind and asked Xiaobai to help the Qin family.
Guan Shuli said, "Master Xue, please go home and celebrate the New Year without any worries. Grandmother and I will protect Uncle Qin's family."
Grandpa Qin agreed: "Brother Nong is right. Mr. Xue can go home with peace of mind. My family and Deputy Envoy Yu will take care of the business."
Deputy Envoy Yu nodded and promised: "I will make sure to prepare the accounts."
Huang Yanglong urged impatiently: "Xue Zhui, why are you talking so much? You don't want me to get sick by sitting here in the cold wind!"
Xue Dongjia was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "If your uncle Zheng hadn't asked me to take care of you, I would have buried you alive!"
"Ah, who's uncle? Is Zheng Nandan worthy of being my uncle?!" Huang Yanglong cursed, and then said, "You'd better be nice to me, otherwise I will make trouble for you when we get to the capital!"
Xue Dongjia: "..."
If burying him alive doesn't kill him, he can bury Huang Yanglong alive a hundred times!
Deputy Envoy Yu sighed inwardly: It's really not easy for Brother Xue.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Grandpa Qin advised: "Master Huang, Master Xue is doing this for your own good. Don't be angry. Just follow Master Xue and learn some skills."
Huang Yanglong still gave Grandpa Qin face and said, "Grandpa Qin, you don't have to worry about me. I know what to do to benefit myself... I'll leave Xiaobai to your family to take care of him."
Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "Don't worry, my family will make sure that Brother Bai has a good New Year."
Huang Yanglong: "And Brother Jiang, when he comes home from the mountains, ask him to write to me. Write about what happened in the village in detail. I love to hear it!"
Grandpa Qin nodded in agreement.
"Uncle Qin, Brother Guan, Brother Yu, the boss is leaving." Boss Xue got in the car, took the New Year gifts from the Qin family, and was escorted away by Xue Lei and others.
"Grandpa Qin, see you next year!" Huang Yanglong said and lowered the car curtain.
"Hey, see you next year." Grandpa Qin smiled. After the Xue family's convoy disappeared, he said to the clerk: "Brother Nong, everything is ready at home. Post the notice. The Qin family will start purchasing medicinal materials tomorrow."
"Yes." Guan Shuli agreed and sent Grandpa Qin home. He then went to the two shops of Xue's family to check. After making sure that the Qin family was ready, he returned to Silifang and posted a notice that the Qin family had started purchasing medicinal materials.
As soon as the notice came out, the whole town was in an uproar.
The next morning, a large number of villagers came to Xinda Street, carrying sacks on their backs, and lined up to sell medicinal herbs.
The Hua general flag was like facing a great enemy, and urgently dispatched 20 soldiers to garrison the area, fearing that the descendants of spies might be mixed in with the villagers and attack the Qin family.
In order to avoid chaos due to the large crowds, the Hua Zongqi also set up three more roadblocks to allow villagers to come in in batches to sell medicinal herbs.
Old Madam Guan was worried that the Qin family would be too busy, so she personally brought Nanny Chen to help.
Grandma Qin was afraid that Madam Guan would catch a cold and fall ill, so she did not dare to refuse and immediately kept Nanny Chen. Only then did Madam Guan go home satisfied.
After working until almost noon, the Qin family finally struck the gong...
Dangdang Dangdang!
"The Qin family is now selling medicinal herbs. Folks who are selling medicinal herbs, please line up and take your number plates. With a number plate, you don't have to worry about being cut in line!" Xu Zhengmao shouted while handing out number plates to the villagers.
"Seller No. 1, dried celery, unprocessed, four cents per pound, forty pounds, one hundred and sixty cents..."
"Seller No. 1, dried nepeta, unprocessed, five cents per pound, thirty pounds, one hundred and fifty cents..."
"Seller No. 1, dried asparagus, unprocessed, three cents per pound, thirty pounds, ninety cents..."
"Seller No. 1, dried Bupleurum, unprocessed, top quality, 18 coins per pound, 30 pounds, 540 coins..."
"Seller No. 1, dried Polygonatum, unprocessed, top quality, 130 coins per pound, 50 pounds, 6 taels and 5 qian of silver!"
As soon as this was said, the villagers were shocked: "Six and a half taels of silver! Who is this seller? It's too much. How come he dug up so many herbs and dried them all? Where does he have the time to dry them?!"
