Chapter 33: Be grateful, make money

85_85797 Huang Gong is a famous doctor in Yangzhou, such a famous doctor, and the theory of typhoid fever in the medical saint in hand, the big and small patients in Wu County, that is no hidden danger!

So, another ten days passed, and after confirming that the typhoid fever in Wu County had been completely eradicated, the whole city was shouting wildly for a while. Ji Ji just stayed in the manor, and she could hear the bursts of cheers and joy outside.

In the garden, there was a sound of footsteps, but it was Uncle Li, Sun Fu and others who arrived, and when they saw Ji Ji, several servants were full of red faces, and Uncle Li shouted from afar: "Girl, the city is carnival outside, don't you go out?" ”

Ji Ji smiled, "Well, I'm not going out." ”

"How is this possible? If nothing else, with the ten carts of herbs donated by the girl, you should go out and receive the gratitude of the people! Sun Fule said this, while taking the tea handed by Yuehong and drinking it all, he sighed continuously: "I have grown so big, it is the first time I have tasted this kind of taste of being respected everywhere I go!" It's just that the people outside respect me, I didn't expect that even the people of the Xie family of Chen County could look at me squarely, and many of them even came to me to laugh, this kind of treatment, even the county order of Wu County will not have. He turned to Ji Ji and said, "This kind of glory is given by you, the girl, my grandson can follow the girl for the rest of his life, it's really worth it!" ”

Ji Ji smiled again.

At this time, Uncle Li asked: "Girl, everyone wants to thank you in person, and some even want to give you an immortal card, why don't you go out?" ”

Ji Ji smiled and said, "It's the same if you go out for me." She thought to herself, "Of course I can't go out." As soon as I went out, the word spread wider.

She knows very well that her donation of herbs to save people will only move the people of Wu County, and the rumors in the world are always fragrant and romantic rhymes that spread the farthest

The beautiful man smiled and so on.

Such rumors will only damage her reputation, and in the end, maybe the people of the Xie family of Chenjun will forcibly let Xie Lang take her as a concubine in order not to let the world say that they do not know kindness, so that the gains outweigh the losses.

Just as Ji Ji was thinking wildly, a footstep came from outside.

Slowly coming in the welcome of the servants was Huang Gong, who had achieved the reputation of a miracle doctor through this epidemic. Huang Gong was full of smiles, and as soon as he arrived in front of Ji Ji, he stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Little Auntie, the old man has spread your merits, you saved 100,000 people in Wu County, and they all want to erect a monument to your immortality." ”

Ji Ji Yingying was blessed and said with a smile: "It was Huang Gong who saved 100,000 people, and Ah Ji was just greedy for heaven." ”

Huang Gong shook his head, and he smiled loudly: "The old man said that you saved 100,000 people, this is still small, according to Buddhism, little aunt This is called immeasurable merit!" After that, he made a big gift to Ji Ji.

Ji Ji couldn't avoid it, so she accepted this gift. She secretly thought in her heart: If I don't have the memory of my previous life and can't come up with a book on typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, maybe the people of Wu County will really be in trouble this time, so I can really afford this gift.

Just as she wanted to come, there was another sound of footsteps outside.

This time, it was more than a dozen Xie guards, who rushed to Ji Ji in a swarm, and after saluting her, one of the guards said, "Sister-in-law's great kindness, I'll write it down." Another guard said, "I heard that my sister-in-law will settle in Jiankang?" If you are commanded to do so, say so. "When the epidemic was suddenly discovered, the rejection from the whole county and the whole state made these proud guards who followed Xie Lang extremely passive, and how painful it was then, how grateful they are now!

After sending off the guards of Xie Mansion, someone from outside came again, and this time it was the county magistrate of Wu County who came to thank Ji Ji......

Such a carnival later lasted for half a month.

It wasn't until a month passed that Wu County completely calmed down from the excitement of escaping from death, and when Wu County finally resumed traffic with the surrounding areas, and when the Yangzhou County Guard personally came to Xie Lang to apologize, Xie Lang disappeared with hundreds of pieces as early as half a month ago, the day after the typhoid epidemic was controlled. And now, he stayed in Wu County as a team to act as a faΓ§ade, and Ji Ji and others have also appeared on the official road, making Yangzhou County guard empty!

In Yangzhou in May, it was a little hot and not too hot, and under the scorching sun, a convoy was moving around.

Xie Guang, one of the four guards beside Xie Lang, turned his head to look at Ji Ji's team, and when he glanced at their car with heavy luggage and I don't know how many things it loaded, Xie Guang smiled at Sun Fu and said, "I heard that your girl folded all the remaining jewels into tung oil, a specialty of Wu County?" Tut-tut, a full fifteen truckloads of tung oil can burn him a thief of eight hundred and one thousand! ”

This person really couldn't remember what the use of Ji Ji buying so much tung oil was, so there was a little more banter in his words.

Sun Fu is sociable and is already very familiar with Xie Guang, he laughed and said: "Our girl acts, ordinary people can't see through it, anyway, she hasn't suffered a loss." Didn't I have half a carload of jewelry in my house? But most of the ten carts of herbs were used up, and I guess the girl was a little heartbroken, and she wanted to make money back with these tung oils. ”

At this time, although the son of the family was ashamed of his words, a vassal like Xie Guang would not. He laughed and said happily: "Then I'll wait to see how your sister-in-law makes a lot of money." ”

Half a month later, Xie Guang put Ji Ji and his party in Yangshui County, and told her to wait here for them to hear from them, while he himself led the team to disappear.

Yangshui County, as the name suggests, is very rich in water resources, and there is a river that leads directly to the Yangtze River. After Ji Ji and her entourage stayed in the restaurant, she sent Sun Fu and others to inquire about what specialties Yangshui County had and their respective prices.

Two days later, Sun Fu told him that Yangshui County's specialty was fish and rice, and as for tung oil, he inquired for two days in a row, but he didn't hear where it was needed.

Ji Ji was not in a hurry, she just ordered: "Go and find out, where is the place where Yangzhou ships shipbuilding." ”

"Yes." Soon, Sun Fu came to report again, and he told him that there is a county called Zhoushan in the north of Yangzhou, which is a famous shipbuilding county in Yangzhou.

So, after Ji Ji continued to send someone to ask about the path of Zhoushan County, she went home to prepare.

Speaking of which, Zhoushan County is located on the bank of the Yangtze River, starting from Yangshui County and taking the waterway, you only need to turn two tributaries to go straight into the Yangtze River, and if you follow the lì, it is only three days to reach Zhoushan.

After finding out all the routes, Ji Ji spent money to rent a big boat, and then loaded the fifteen carts of tung oil and appeared on the river to Zhoushan County.

Because the big boat is rented separately, the whereabouts of this road are safe, and day and night, early in the morning of the fourth day, Ji Ji and others appeared in Zhoushan County.

Then, Ji Ji asked Sun Fu and others to go to major shipbuilding sites to inquire about the price of tung oil.

In the evening, Sun Fu and others came back on their feet. As soon as he entered the wing, he didn't even breathe, so he shouted excitedly to Ji Ji: "Girl, how do you know that there will be such a high profit in buying and selling tung oil?" He was really excited, and without waiting for Ji Ji to open his mouth, he shouted again: "Girl, you don't know, I just arrived at those shipyards, and as soon as I opened my mouth to say that there was tung oil, those shopkeepers flocked in, and the prices were higher and higher. He stretched out his hand towards Ji Ji, and the ghost Chongchong said proudly: "Girl, the price they offer is more than twice as high as our purchase price!" ”

Compared with Sun Fu's excitement, Ji Ji is much calmer. After she asked Sun Fu to drink a cup of water, she said: "If you think about this, you can know that in this world, whether you take the mountain road or the water road, the road is full of dangers and robbers, just like from Wu County to Yangshui County, if we don't follow the Xie family's team, do we dare to load all the cars with tung oil and go on the road?" And the average businessman, just to escort the fifteen carts, has to send two hundred troops to escort them, if nothing else, the cost of these two hundred people and their donkey carts is three times higher than ours! And that's just a long way off! ”

Speaking of this, Ji Ji said lightly: "Five times! If someone drives up to five times the purchase price, you let it go! ”

Sun Fu was so excited that his nose was incited, "That's right! Tomorrow I will offer them five times the price. Someone is willing to come out, and we can buy it right away! ”

Ji Ji originally thought that the price would increase to five times, and this transaction would take at least ten days and a half to talk about before it was followed. Who knew that that night, Sun Fu came back with the deed. But it turns out that such a price, in the eyes of those shipyard shopkeepers, is still cheap!

In this transaction, Ji Ji took a barter, fifteen carts of tung oil, and she exchanged it for thirty fishing boats. According to the instructions of the shipkeepers, the fishing boat was tied to the back of her rented boat with a rope, and Ji Ji and the others got on the way back early in the morning.

Yangshui County originally relied on water, and there is a so-called backing on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, and the fishing industry here is quite developed. So, as soon as Ji Ji and others returned to Yangshui County, it took only three days to sell out the fishing boats. It's just that because the Yangshui to Zhoushan water route is smooth, the profit margin of the fishing boat is not large, and this is the case, every boat also makes Ji Ji earn one-third.

In this way, it was only a month and a half before and after, and Ji Ji's half of the car of jewelry swelled more than six times, deducting the expenses before and after, and the remaining gold jewelry was also more than two cars.

I think that at the beginning, when Ji's father was alive, Sun Fu and Uncle Lu Shen Li and others did not go through business. But the feeling that the business will give them is that the road is difficult and difficult, and the profit is not much. Where is it like Ji Ji, who has swelled his wealth by four or five times as if he was playing?

Looking at his girl with admiration, Sun Fu said happily: "Girl, this business is easy to do, this business is too easy to do." We can do it a few more times in the future! In a blink of an eye, he jumped up again, and shouted in shock: "Girl, girl, you don't hesitate to take out ten carts of herbs to bribe Xie Jialangjun, why do you have to follow behind them, is this the idea that you have been fighting all along?" ”

Ji Ji glanced at him and said lightly: "That's natural, the Xie family has a strong guard, and with them, we are not only safe and worry-free, but we can also take the opportunity to buy specialties from all over the world and earn a lot of money." Otherwise, do you think that with the cart of jewelry we got from Luo Datou in the first place, we can live a good life in Jiankang? I tell you, living in Jiankang is not easy, if nothing else, the housing prices there are frighteningly high, and there is food, clothing, housing and transportation, no matter what kind of consumption, it will be five to ten times that of Jingxian. I don't hurry up to buy some family business, just with the original money, we have to be in trouble when we get to Jiankang! ”

Speaking of this, Ji Ji stood up with her hands on her sleeves and waist straight to look at the distant mountains outside the window, and thought to herself: In the previous life, I climbed to power and attached to the nobles, but what I got was humiliation, and in the end I died in vain. In this life, I am not uncommon for anyone to cling to, just with my own strength, I will definitely live a great freedom in this panicked world, not burdened by money, not burdened by fame, not afraid of life, not afraid of death!
