Chapter 973: Food

Chief Steward Xie hurriedly handed over several detailed brochures detailing the Xie family's children. "Second Master Qin, please take a look... These three children are the two legitimate sons of Master Xie from the provincial government; the legitimate son of Master Xie Liu from the capital; and the youngest legitimate son and eldest legitimate grandson of Master Xie from the Taizhou Mansion."

"The Xie family only wants three spots. The Qin family can choose whichever of these disciples they think is good. As long as three Xie family disciples can participate in the trial planting of high-yield grains, it will be fine."

Chief Steward Jie kept a low profile and cursed the Twelveth Young Master Jie in his heart: You damn playboy, you have really brought disaster to the Jie family.

If it weren't for Xie Shiershao, when Master Jing was still in Wuyuan in the capital, the Xie family's children would have been able to rely on the Xie family's influence to move into Wuyuan and study with Master Jing.

However, because of the incident involving the 12th Young Master Xie, not only was the Xie family exiled, but the Xie family members also missed the opportunity to follow Master Jing.

Originally, this was not a big deal.

After all, it’s just traveling and studying with a famous scholar, and the Xie family can do it with their own power.

But now that high-yield grain and potato varieties have been trial-planted, it has caused a huge uproar.

This achievement was so great, far more valuable than studying with the famous scholar Jing Lao. It was so great that even the Jie family of Taizhou Prefecture came to compete for the spot.

Therefore, Chief Steward Jie received a death order, he must help the children of the Jie family get the quota... If the Qin family does not agree, he will keep placing orders, and this path to meritorious service must be opened up!

But Chief Steward Jie hadn't expected Second Uncle Qin to be such a scoundrel. After reading the detailed list, he asked Chief Steward Jie, "It's just a quota. My Qin family can give you six, but 100,000 orders for the new anthelmintic medicine are too few. Besides, my niece said she doesn't need orders, she needs food. Doesn't your family have a private warehouse? Why not open it and exchange it for food?"

!!!

Chief Steward Jie felt as if someone had grabbed his neck and nearly died of shock. However, he was an experienced official, so he quickly calmed himself down and forced a smile, saying, "Second Master Qin, you must be joking. How can a humble servant like me make such a decision?"

Uncle Qin threw the detailed booklet back to him. "Why are you here to talk if you can't make the decision? You're wasting my time. Don't you know how busy my family is right now? Shi Mo, get out!"

Jie Dazongguan: "..."

No, I and the entire Jie family didn't expect that your Qin family would dare to ask for such a high price.

The Xie family can destroy the order worth several thousand taels of silver at will, but your Qin family wants the grain in the Xie family’s private warehouse. You are more cruel than Emperor Wu Xing. How can I, a servant, make the decision?

"Please come in, sir!" The boy from Shiqiu and the boy from the Mo family stepped forward and directly pulled the chief steward away, showing no courtesy at all.

This is a house of scoundrels, everything looks like its owner, and everyone is completely uneducated. Manager Jie cursed in his heart!

Yes, yes, yes, you are a well-educated slave, but you cannot make the decision and will still be driven away.

"Wait, wait!" Chief Steward Jie grabbed the door frame and said hurriedly, "Second Master Qin, how about this? Today, our Jie family will sign the contract for the 100,000 orders. The Qin family will reserve three places for the Jie family. As for the grain issue, I have to write to the master first to ask. What do you think?"

The Qin family is ruthless in their actions, but the relationship between the Jie family and the Qin family cannot deteriorate any further, so this order must be placed, and the follow-up can be made after the relationship between the Jie and Qin families has eased.

Is there such a good thing? Master Qin almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly scolded Shi Mo and the others: "You two stinky boys, why don't you let go of General Jie quickly? Is this how you treat guests?"

"Yes." Shi Mo and the other boy were quite obedient. They did whatever Uncle Qin told them to do. They helped Jie Dazongchang, who had been dragged to the door by the two of them, back to his chair and forced him to sit down.

Chief Steward Jie: “…” What a scoundrel and uneducated family!

Hahaha, Doctor You and his apprentice who were hiding in the inner room almost died of laughter. Master Qin is really amazing.

And the Qin family is even more amazing.

She anticipated that some nobles and officials would come to ask for a place in the trial planting of high-yield grain and potato seeds, so she proposed to exchange them for supplies, and primarily for grain.

"Doctor You, come out quickly. The contract has been signed. An order for 100,000 copies of the new anthelmintic drug!" Uncle Qin shouted.

"Hey, here we are." Doctor You came out of the inner room with Xunzi and placed three already written purchase contracts on the table. "Master Jie, take a look. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract."

He explained further that the medicines from the Qin Family Pharmacy were only sold to Wu Ze Pharmacy. Anyone who wanted to buy the medicines from the Qin Family Pharmacy could only purchase them through Wu Ze Pharmacy.

Manager Jie's face turned green, but he was professional and quickly calmed down. He smiled, picked up the three order contracts and looked at them carefully.

Finally, he said, "I have to add that the Qin family will help the Jie family reserve six spots to participate in the trial planting of high-yield grain and potato varieties."

Why are you raising the price at the last minute?

Uncle Qin Er complained in his heart, but for the sake of food, he readily agreed: "Doctor You, please add this. I, Qin Er, will take care of reserving places for the children of the Jie family."

Chief Steward Jie didn't dare to trust his reputation. His reputation was useless: "It's the Qin family who paid for it. Write it in the Qin family's name."

Not Qin Er!

Uncle Qin: "Tsk, you still don't trust me, Qin Er. Come on, come on, Doctor You, write in the name of my Qin family."

"Yeah." Doctor You immediately started writing and added it to all three.

After reading it, General Manager Jie was very satisfied. He signed and put his fingerprints on it. He then solemnly took out a box, took out the Jie family's small seal from it, and stamped it on the contract.

"Thank you for your help, Qin Family. I will send a letter to my master to inform him of their request."

"Hey, go quickly." Uncle Qin was very happy. After Doctor You signed and pressed his fingerprints, they sent General Jie away.

As soon as Chief Steward Jie walked out of the herbal medicine shop and got on the carriage, his face turned completely dark after the curtains were lowered.

After the carriage drove away, he banged on the floor even more... The Qin family was a nouveau riche, insatiable in their greed, and too much of a bully. Did they really think that because of the incident with the Twelve Young Master, the Jie family wouldn't dare to follow the example of Master Jin Qi and treat the Qin family the same way?!

The Qin family just wait.

When the concubine of the aristocratic family gives birth to a prince, Emperor Wuxing will die, and the throne will be inherited by the bloodline of the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family will then be able to call the shots in the world again, and the Qin, Jiang, Xu, Qiao and other families, and even the entire Taifeng Town, will be slaughtered!

No, wake up! You are just a slave from a noble family. How can you treat yourself as the master? If your master finds out, your whole family will be beaten to death!

After sending off Chief Steward Jie, Doctor You and his men went to find Qin Xiaomi with the order contract. Wu Ze Pharmacy placed an order for 100,000 copies of the new anthelmintic drug with Qin's herbal medicine shop.

"There's no need to rush, the Xie family. Just allow us to complete the delivery within half a year. The new medicine for the Xie family will still be 80 cents per portion, and the transaction price between the two parties will still be 70 cents per portion." Doctor You smiled from ear to ear.

Even though Wu Ze Pharmacy only makes ten cents on each dose of the new anthelmintic medicine, there are hundreds of thousands of doses. Now Wu Ze Pharmacy has earned three thousand taels of silver just by the ten-cent price difference of the new anthelmintic medicine.

Three thousand taels, that’s equal to their city pharmacy’s profit for a year. Their Dongmingfu Pharmacy has never been so rich!

After hearing this, Manager Wu's old illnesses improved a lot, and even he and Xunzi gained some weight.

Moreover, the Qin family also accepted old soldiers from poor families to work. The Qin family really helped Your Majesty support so many people. Your Majesty is really stingy. When Qin Qianhu was conferring an official title, he should have given Qin Dongjia the title of County Lord or something.
