0033 New Sources of Finance
Liu Pei didn't dare to say anything else, so he said: "Think of a way!" What if the blind cat touches the dead mouse? ”
Mrs. Li then interjected, "That's it! Liu Pei, you follow and think of a way! If you get it, you can save this little girl's life! That little girl is a good boy! If you can save it, you will accumulate virtue! ”
Liu Pei naturally agreed. But when I talk about this topic today, everyone's spirits are heavy. So Liu Pei didn't stay at Yuan's house for too long, and chatted with the two couples for a while before leaving.
After returning home, Liu Pei seriously thought about the possibility of his own actions. I think the probability is quite high. If you succeed, you will not only be able to open up a new source of wealth for yourself, but also get the friendship of many powerful people. After all, those who are rich and powerful want to live a little longer! A person who needs a strong drug will definitely be willing to give him a lot of help.
After thinking about it, Liu Pei packed his bags and prepared to go. At midnight, Liu Pei stood in front of the space-time gate again. The reappearance of the space-time gate made Liu Pei feel a little worried. Because when the space-time gate appeared, the magnitude of the jitter was even stronger. And the iron gray layer on the light curtain is obvious, and the color has become gray, like an old photograph gradually fading.
Liu Pei muttered in his heart, will there be a problem? Don't stay in the Ming Dynasty this time and won't come back! After hesitating for a moment, Liu Pei still stepped into the gate of time and space ruthlessly. Let's solve the problem of the space-time gate when we come back this time.
Out of the gate of time and space, I arrived at the Ming Dynasty with fresh air. When Liu Pei appeared here again, he was not afraid at all! I've been around a few times, and I'm already familiar with the road, and there are fake road guides. And this time Liu Pei is more prepared. Liu Pei touched the two guns hanging under his armpits, and he felt more sure.
Liu Pei rode his bicycle to the outside of Jiaozhou City and hid his bicycle. When the day dawned, I went to the mule and horse market to buy horses, and then rode the horse and set off for Jinan openly. In this way, not only is it not tired, but even Liu Pei's riding level is rising.
A few days later, Liu Pei came to Jinan City very smoothly and stayed at the Yuelai Inn where he first stayed. With the help of the guys, I soon came to the largest pharmacy, Jirentang.
According to the guy, Jirentang has been in operation in the city of Jinan for four generations! There are a lot of medicinal herbs here and the prices are reasonable. The doctor in the hall has superb medical skills and has won the praise of the people in the city. Liu Pei looked at the crowd at the gate of Jirentang and felt that what the guy should have said was right.
As soon as he walked into the store, a guy greeted him and said, "This son, do you want to take medicine or see a doctor?" ”
Liu Pei said: "Buy medicine." ”
The guy immediately pointed to the right and said, "Childe, you just need to give me the recipe, and you can go over there and rest for a while." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to ask Liu Pei for a prescription.
Liu Pei said: "I'm not taking medicine, I want to buy ginseng." ”
The guy was even happier when he heard this, ginseng is a valuable thing, and he immediately gave up his hand and said, "There are a lot of ginseng in our store, how many do you want?" How many years? ”
Liu Pei said: "What I want is not ordinary ginseng. It is ginseng that is more than 100 years old! ”
"Eh!" The guy scratched his head and said, "Childe, I can't be the master of this matter, you take a rest first, and I'll call the shopkeeper for you!" After speaking, he led Liu Pei to the seat and sat down, and turned around to find someone.
After a while, the guy led the shopkeeper to Liu Pei. The shopkeeper arched his hand and said, "I heard that the guy said that the son wants ginseng that is more than a hundred years old? ”
Liu Pei stood up and said, "It's true, it's for the elders." ”
The shopkeeper frowned and said, "Childe is late!" If you come to us during the Spring Festival, we also have two ginseng sticks that are more than 100 years old. But it was sold some time ago. ”
Liu Pei couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he heard this, he knew that he should have gone to the pharmacy to take a look when he came here two times before, and he had to run for nothing again this time. Liu Pei thought for a while and said, "Then I don't know if the shopkeeper can turn over a few from other places?" I can make a high price. ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "Childe, it's not that the small shop doesn't help, but now I'm afraid that there won't be more than a hundred years of ginseng in the whole country!" If you want to, you can only go to the palace and find it! ”
Liu Pei was taken aback when he heard this, when was ginseng so in demand! "How so?" he asked. Although ginseng is good, it won't sell so quickly, right? ”
The shopkeeper explained: "It stands to reason that it is not! And that's not the fault of the war! That old thief Nurhachi raised troops in Liaodong, and now Liaodong has become a pot of porridge! The original source of ginseng was completely cut off last year. As for when I will get the ginseng, I can't guarantee it! Especially Childe, what you want is ginseng that is more than 100 years old, and if you want it, you are afraid that you will have to buy it from those Jurchen barbarians in Liaodong. ”
Liu Pei's heart was cold when he heard it! Wouldn't it be death to let him go to Liaodong at this time? The two sides are now in the middle of a big war, and they plunge into it, and they may be cut off at some point! Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "What about North Korea? Doesn't North Korea also produce ginseng? ”
The shopkeeper said, "Childe doesn't know. North Korea also produces ginseng now, but there is one section where the ginseng produced in North Korea is not enough for many years. Only in those deep mountains and old forests in Liaodong can you find ginseng that is old enough! Therefore, if Gongzi uses a century-old ginseng, he can only go to Liaodong to trade with those barbarians. It's just that now that the Liaodong War, the trade route has long been cut off, and no one can go! ”
Liu Pei was depressed when he heard this, but he had no choice but to leave the shopkeeper and return to the inn. Liu Pei, who was lying on the bed, sighed for a long time, and finally thought of a new source of wealth, but it was broken! These damn Jurchens, what an abomination! Thinking about it, Liu Pei slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Liu Pei was eating breakfast and chatting with the guy who came to deliver the food. Liu Pei has lived in this inn several times, and he is already familiar with this guy. So when I have time, the guy is willing to talk to him. After all, this son's reward is not light!
As the two of them spoke, they talked about buying ginseng. The guy has been in the inn for a long time, and when he saw that he was well-informed, he heard that Liu Pei wanted to buy ginseng and said, "Actually, the son doesn't have to worry too much." Although you can't buy it in Liaodong, you can ask someone to buy it in North Korea! After all, North Korea didn't fight with those Jurchen barbarians. Let them buy ginseng from the Jurchen barbarians, and you can at most increase the price! ”
When Liu Pei heard it, it was simply an enlightenment, and he immediately opened his mouth! said: "Yes, what you say really makes sense! "I rewarded the guy with a little whitebait. The guy smiled happily and offered to help inquire about how to get to North Korea. Liu Pei immediately promised to reward him with a small ingot, and the happy guy jumped out to inquire.
