Chapter 101 Pharmacist
Chapter 101 Pharmacist
Ling Qingyun's medicine does not work quickly.
However, her ointment was quite fast, and after applying it three times, an hour and a half, it stopped most of the shopkeeper's son's itchy rubella.
At least your child will be able to sleep peacefully.
The husband and wife of the store were very grateful to Ling Qingyun and specially made a sumptuous dinner to entertain them. The shopkeeper also took out his own treasured old cellar and opened it for Ling Qingyun and others.
"Can I drink it?" Nianru sat beside Ling Qingtong, smelling the wine, the strong fragrance was mouth-watering. She had never drunk before, and she was a little greedy, so she asked him in a low voice.
It's okay to break the vows, anyway, I won't be a nun in the future. This is Ling Qingyun's sue sΓΉ Nianru, Nianru didn't have any opinions, so she agreed.
Ling Qingtong nodded and said, "Yes." β
He was also going to drink a little.
Ling Qingtong picked up the wine cup, smelled the wine, and then took a sip. Soft in the mouth,
It is sweet in the throat, and it is really a good wine.
Thinking about it, Ling Qingtong took another big sip.
Before he could swallow it, the shopkeeper over there had already toasted his sister and said, "The noble man saved the dog's life, and I, Xia Santong, am grateful to Dade."
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Ling Qingtong squirted out a mouthful of wine.
Ling Qingtong was choked half to death.
Everyone's eyes fell on him, and even Xia Santong's words were interrupted.
An Wei asked, "Did you choke?" β
Ling Qingtong came to his senses for a long time, shook his head and said, "No, no." Then he took a closer look at the shop.
The shopkeeper was about twenty-four or five years old, not very old, and of medium height. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes are bright and full of wisdom.
He is the son of his old boss and only took over the inn last year.
"You, your name is Xia Santong?" Ling Qingtong looked incredulous, staring at the shopkeeper and asking, as if he wanted to see him through.
The shopkeeper was a little confused, but still replied seriously: "Back to the little master, the villain's name is Xia Santong, and he has two elder brothers, who died when he was a child, and the only villain grew up to be an adult." Although he is the only son of his old father, he is the third line.
There is no one at home to study, so I entrusted the old gentleman and took the word 'Tong', which is easy to raise. Little master, is there anything wrong? β
Ling Qingtong waved his hand again and again, and said, "There is nothing wrong, very good, very good." After that, Ling Qingtong's eyes showed some strange essence, staring at Xia Santong like a baby.
Ling Qingyun and An Wei both looked at him curiously.
Especially Ling Qingyun. She knew that Ling Qingtong was reborn, so he knew a lot about the future.
Could it be that this store will have any reputation in the future?
Ling Qingyun glanced at the store a few times.
He doesn't look good-looking, his family wealth is weak, and he doesn't look like a scholar, what will he rely on to change his fate in the future?
The shopkeeper's words were interrupted by Ling Qingtong, so it was a little strange to pick it up again. He smiled and said, "Nobleman, you eat, the villain will not disturb." The great kindness of the nobles has always been remembered by the villains. β
After a pause, he said again, "I don't know where the nobleman's mansion is, what is the surname?" The villain will definitely remember it in his heart and pray for the nobles day and night. If the child grows up and is prosperous, he can repay the nobleman. β
Before Ling Qingyun could answer, her younger brother immediately preemptively said: "We are the Jin State Mansion, our surname is Ling, and my sister is the second girl in the Jin State Mansion's long house." β
The shopkeeper called "Miss Ling", and then thanked Ling Qingyun, very grateful to Dade.
Ling Qingyun glanced at Ling Qingtong.
Ling Qingtong secretly gave her a look.
An Wei looked at the two sisters and brothers and felt funny. However, Ling Qingtong's actions, An Wei didn't quite understand.
After dinner, everyone rested and set off tomorrow morning.
The night was a bit muggy, and summer just came.
After Ling Qingyun freshened up, he ran to Ling Qingtong's room and asked him, "That store, will there be any big prospects in the future?" β
It must be a good thing, otherwise her brother wouldn't have volunteered to report his home to this shopkeeper.
"Second sister, you are really lucky!" Ling Qingtong said excitedly, "That's Xia Santong, the most famous wealthy businessman in Hangzhou!" In the next thirty years, the whole world knew Xia Santong's name. β
Ling Qingyun was stunned.
"Merchant, will there be any great name?" Ling Qingyun asked.
Ling Qingtong smiled and said, "Second sister doesn't know, the world will change greatly in the future. This dynasty has always been merchant-oriented, and Taizu once decreed that 'the tax rules of the merchants should be in the business gate, and there should be no unauthorized changes to increase losses and generate income'; Taizong also issued an edict that 'from now on, except for the currency of business travel, the small transactions of the peddlers and women shall not be collected." 'Reduced the tax on merchants.
The laws of the imperial court strictly prohibit officials from extorting and making things difficult for businessmen, and you must not have paid attention to it, second sister. There is a law that says, 'If a ruler stays in a merchant for three days, he shall be punished by two years' imprisonment." Therefore, those who beg for money and goods are imprisoned for one year. β
In particular, last year, the government issued a new decree: 'The state opens the door of tribute, and collects a wide range of roads, such as industry and commerce, miscellaneous people, etc., and those who are talented and unusual, and those who are outstanding are also allowed to be released.' β
This decree said that businessmen could take the imperial examination in the future, and they could be in politics, and the prohibition that "the industrial and commercial families shall not be pre-empted" was officially abolished. β
This dynasty has been heavy on business, and it has been since the Taizu period, this Ling Qingyun knows.
The new decree issued last year officially abolished the ban on businessmen from engaging in politics, and Ling Qingyun really didn't know it.
She had just been resurrected at that time, how could she care about the government?
However, the cause of the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce in previous dynasties can be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties, and it was not improved until the current dynasty.
Confucius's disciple Zigong was good at business, his family was rich enough to rival the country, he married a horse and rode together, hired princes, and could fight against the king.
In the Qin Dynasty, the imperial power was exclusive.
The emperors of all dynasties were afraid of the potential of "merchants and kings to fight against each other" and carve up the imperial power, so they formulated many laws to suppress merchants, humiliate merchants, and cheap merchants, and listed merchants in the city register, regarded them as untouchables, and ensured the autocracy of imperial power from the root.
However, in this dynasty, Taizu attached great importance to merchants, formulated many laws of compassion for merchants, treated merchants leniently, and encouraged commerce.
Now, the law that forbade merchants from entering the government has been abolished, so that the status of merchants has been higher.
"In the next ten years, the wealthy merchants and wealthy families were almost as respected as the high-ranking families in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Especially in Suzhou and Hangzhou, wealthy merchants can sit on an equal footing with the prefect, they can choose their children to join the government, and control the government, which is exactly the same as the wang clan in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Ling Qingtong said with a smile.
Ling Qingyun said, surprised, but also felt understandable.
Now there are some signs of it.
Isn't the marriage of the past few years, "not asking about the family, taking assets directly", just another manifestation of business prosperity?
"A noble family like ours will have nothing to value in the future." Ling Qingtong said with a smile.
He's just giving an example.
The Jin State Mansion was also "noble" for a few years. In a few years, Aneaves gained power, the imperial power was replaced, and the Ling family was promoted because of this, and Ling Qingtong never suffered in his life.
However, like the second aunt Cheng family, she will be very depressed in the future.
Looking at it now, the Cheng family and the Ling family are almost the same. After another ten years, the Cheng family still relied on rent, and gradually became poor.
"In the future, can merchants have a place?" Ling Qingyun muttered, hovering with some intentions in her heart.
"yes." Ling Qingtong said.
"I can open a pharmacy." Ling Qingtong said, "I won't come forward, let the eldest brother come forward to operate, I will sell pharmaceuticals behind my back, I don't know if I can create some fame." β
Ling Qingtong smiled and said, "Second sister, you can follow Second Brother An." In the future, do you still have to look at business to make money? β
The whole world is peaceful.
"I can't say that." Ling Qingyun said, "My own money is still different from Second Brother An's money. β
Ling Qingtong didn't want to argue with her either.
Suddenly, Ling Qingtong turned to her and asked, "Second sister, when did you learn the medical skills?" I remember that in the past, you also missed medical books, but you didn't read well."
Ling Qingyun was slightly stunned.
She paused and said, "I don't know." Maybe when you go back to your childhood, a lot of things change. I suddenly opened my mind, I'm afraid I was influenced by you, right? β
"Are you back?" Ling Qingtong asked her.
Ling Qingyun shook her head: "I'm not." β
Ling Qingtong believed it. He felt that her sister couldn't see that she was the one who came back, although it was very different from before, but she knew how to heal, and it was not surprising that there were other differences.
"Shi Ting lives next door to our house, and he is so flamboyant, not at all like an unknown person. It shows that there will be a lot of changes in this life. So, what's so unusual about my second sister's medical skills? Ling Qingtong thought, "I also got to know the richest businessman in the world in the future." β
It's all about the good.
Ling Qingtong was very happy.
Life is a little different, which means that he can really save Nianru and save his mother, which is what Ling Qingtong is looking forward to.
Because every qiΔ was even better than he expected, Ling Qingtong didn't have to worry about Ling Qingyun's medical skills.
"There's nothing wrong with opening a pharmacy." Ling Qingtong said to Ling Qingyun, "But to open a pharmacy, I'm afraid it's very difficult at first, and I also need some money to buy it." My mother and eldest brother may not agree, and you don't have the money. β
That's a problem.
Ling Qingyun didn't have the money to open a shop, and there were no people available.
This thought in her heart did not dissipate, but was ready to plan carefully to see what to do.
The next day, they got up and took their leave.
Ling Qingtong was very enthusiastic about Xia Santong and said, "You have time to play in our house." When the child is well, bring it to my second sister to see, so that my second sister will not remember his illness. β
Xia Santong said yes, very grateful.
An Wei didn't say anything more, and the group set off.
On the way, Ling Qingtong and An Wei rode side by side, and he told An Wei of Ling Qingyun's idea of opening a medicine shop.
"My second sister has good medical skills, so I don't want to waste it." Ling Qingtong sued sΓΉ eaves.
An Wei was stunned.
"What did your second sister say?" An Wei asked.
Ling Qingtong nodded: "Yes."
He was afraid that An Wei would be unhappy, so he deliberately paid attention to An Wei's face. An Wei is a powerful minister, and probably doesn't want his wife to show up to do the pharmacy business.
Sure enough, An Wei's eyes sank slightly, and he didn't speak again.
Ling Qingtong was also silent.
When they were still ten miles away from the capital, they saw a pair of carriages coming towards them.
Ling Qingtong felt very familiar, so he stared over to see who it was.
