Jizhou, Shen Yitang.

Although it had only been open for business for a short time, Shen Yitang's reputation quickly spread throughout Jizhou City.

Li Qi and the others hardly went to Shen Yitang's side, but they had heard of Shen Ruzhan's way of doing business.

This woman is really impressive, her mind and means, and her cleverness makes people feel unattainable.

At first, when Shen Leng and the others heard that Shen Yitang was doing such a business, Yu Jiuling bluntly said that it wouldn't be long before Shen Yitang would close down, but who would have thought that other people's business could be so prosperous.

When you go to Shen Yitang to see a doctor, you will also be divided into high and low, the rich have the views of the rich, and the poor have the views of the poor.

According to normal thinking, ordinary people will think that this is the right thing to be looked down upon and that business is not good, but in fact this is not the case.

Dao Shen Yitang to see a doctor, ordinary people line up in the main hall, every day to ensure that there are five sitting hall Lang Zhong on the side of the main hall, see one and walk one by one, must follow the order maintained by Shen Yitang, unless it is an emergency or serious injury.

The rich can pay ten taels of silver, and then they will be led to the backyard to see a doctor, the environment is good, the atmosphere is good, Langzhong sees a doctor one-on-one, and the medicine is also expensive.

Someone once made trouble, saying why rich people can see a doctor first, and Shen Ruzhan's answer was four words.

Because there is money.

So in a sense, she's a businessman through and through, but in another sense, she's a bodhisattva.

Because the people spend very little money on medical treatment, some of them almost nothing, but they will never be perfunctory.

In this way, in just a few months, Shen Yitang has almost suppressed all the medical halls in Jizhou City.

Even the people who were far away would rather go to Shen Yitang to line up to see a doctor than go to other medical centers, so that Shen Yitang was hated by other medical centers.

What's even more interesting is that there is a Lang Zhong who pretended to be sick and came to diagnose and treat, and he was picky in every way, but he was seen to have no disease.

Na Langzhong began to play scoundrels again, saying that Shen Yitang cheated money and rolled around.

Shen Ruzhan only said one sentence.

"Hit out, treat the wounded, and lose money if you die."

As a result, the troublemaker was really beaten, and his nose and face were swollen.

Since then, no one has dared to make trouble, because everyone knows one thing...... Shen Yitang's Lang Zhong is really capable of seeing a doctor, and Shen Yitang's guards can really beat people.

On the fifteenth day of every month, Shen Yitang will also send porridge to the people for free, which is said to be medicinal porridge, which can drive away evil spirits and nourish the body.

Therefore, every fifteenth day, there are many scary people queuing up outside the door of Shen Yitang, like a long queue.

Similarly, there are two kinds of medicinal porridge, and the people don't need money to drink, as long as you line up in accordance with the rules and regulations, until the delivery is finished, whoever makes trouble will be beaten out, and the start will definitely not be light.

A group of ruffians came, and they directly lined up at the front of the line, but seven or eight people were beaten all over the ground by Shen Yitang's guards.

If the dignitaries want to drink medicinal porridge, they will also be invited to the backyard, enjoying and being comfortable, and there is nothing to say about the good service.

However, a bowl of medicinal porridge costs five taels of silver, and it is said that the ingredients used are completely different from those for the people to drink, and the cost is much more expensive, and the medicinal effect is much better, of course, it is said.

In the first month, Shen Ruzhan asked people to send more than 500 taels of silver to Li Qi, saying that it was 30% of the income this month.

In the second month, more than 800 taels of silver were delivered, and in the third month, more than 1,000 taels were delivered.

It is said that the most profitable is the backyard bone massage, of course, all the rich people come over, because it costs ten taels of silver at a time.

But everyone who has been here feels that the ten taels of silver are worth it, and after the massage, it is like a different person, and the whole body is relaxed.

That's it, if you come here the first day and come back the next day, Shen Yitang will not take your business, massage and invigorate blood, up to twice a month.

But there are a lot of people coming, in a big city like Jizhou, there are really a lot of dignitaries and nobles.

At first, people thought that women would come, but later they found out that women came more and were more willing to spend money.

After the massage, you can also take a look at the rouge gouache made by Shen Yitang, as well as things like health medicine powder.

After Li Qi heard about it, he threw himself to the ground for Shen Ruzhan's admiration.

After doing the math, I knew that Shen Yitang had an income of several thousand taels of silver every month, and of course it would be more in the future, because after all, it was only three months.

In Li Qi's view, where is this to make money, this is to use the rake to make money in the king's house.

Li Qi thought about it, and it happened that Zeng Ling wanted to see him, so he simply made Zeng Ling an extra sum of silver.

Almost all the medicinal materials in Jizhou are in Li Qi's hands, Li Qi wants to explore Zeng Ling's tone, whether he can sell the medicinal materials to the Jizhou army, if the negotiation is really completed, it will be a big income.

Jiedu Embassy.

After Li Qi entered the door, he looked around, this place was very simple, not at all like a place where a person of such status should live.

Even if it is a wealthy businessman's home, it is more delicate than Zeng Ling's home, at least there will be rockery lotus ponds, and the elegant ones will be full of flowers and plants.

However, Zeng Ling's Jiedu Embassy, as soon as he entered the door, he could see at a glance the side of the main hall, there were only a few trees in the courtyard, the ground was flat and neat, and not a single grass was missing.

When Li Qi came in, Zeng Ling stood in the courtyard and waited for him, and after seeing Li Qi, Zeng Ling immediately laughed, so that he couldn't see the slightest hypocrisy, just like seeing an old friend.

Li Qi was slightly stunned when he saw Zeng Ling, because he never thought that Zeng Ling would actually sit in the courtyard and weave baskets.

It uses red willow, and it seems that his craftsmanship is not bad.

"My lord, this is?"

Li Qi asked curiously.

"The basket used by the people in the house to clean was broken, and I said that I wanted to buy a new one, so my hands itched for a while, and I remembered that I had learned it when I was young, so I repaired it."

Zeng Ling said with a smile: "At least hundreds of dollars can be saved." ”

Li Qi thought about it, and said in his heart that if you are like this, I will not return the 100,000 taels of silver.

Zeng Ling ordered to serve tea, then pointed to the stone table and stone bench in the courtyard and said to Li Qi: "Just sit here?" It's cool and comfortable outside. ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Listen to your lordship." ”

After the two of them sat down, Zeng Ling asked Li Qi, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”

Li Qi shook his head: "The student is shallow and can't play chess." ”

He would, he was too lazy to play chess with Zeng Ling, and when he coaxed Gao Xining, the water chess game slipped away, and the water released was more than the water in the Nanping River.

Zeng Ling smiled and said: "You can still learn more about playing chess, you will use it in the future, many people like to play chess, especially nobles." ”

Li Qidao smiled and was noncommittal.

Zeng Ling saw that Li Qi didn't answer his words, paused, and simply said what he wanted to say directly, no longer beating around the bush.

"I heard, Li Gongzi is still the third master of Yanshan Camp?"

After Zeng Ling finished asking, his eyes glanced at Li Qi's reaction.

Li Qi nodded and said, "For the time being." ”

Zeng Ling asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Li Qi smiled and said: "There are many talents in the Yanshan camp, and I am not in the cottage all the year round, which seems to be a little incorrect, so sooner or later I still have to let the virtuous." ”

These words are the real bricks and stones.

Zeng Ling really picked it up.

Zeng Ling said with a smile: "Yu Chaozong is a righteous person, known as the name of the Heavenly King, it is expected that it will not be as cold and hard as Li Gongzi said, and with Li Gongzi's talent, as long as he has made some contributions to Yanshan Ying, the position of these three masters is not stable." ”

Li Qixin said that you have answered, so continue to talk about it.

"Credits......"

Li Qi sighed and said: "Lord Zeng doesn't know how terrible the talents in the Yanshan camp are now, a young man who has just entered the mountain has only taken seven days to win the land of the two states, but he is only the eighth master of the Yanshan camp, I have been lazy for so long, what credit do I have to fight with others." ”

Zeng Ling said with a smile: "Daizhou and Xinzhou are two places, but they are mere, if Li Gongzi can take a third of Jizhou's big place, I am afraid that Yu Tianwang will be very happy." ”

Li Qi said: "One-third of Jizhou? ”

He shook his head and sighed, "Where did I get this third?" ”

Zeng Ling said with a smile: "I have such a business now, if it is done, I am willing to pay Yu Tianwang with one-third of the states and counties in Jizhou." ”

Li Qi pretended to be surprised and said, "What kind of business?" Lord Zeng, this is a big loss, you won't be joking. ”

Zeng Lingxin said children, you are a little exaggerated.

But he still smiled gently: "If Gongzi Li can facilitate the matter of me joining forces with Yu Tianwang, I will definitely give one-third of the prefectures and counties as a thank you gift, and doing so will be a good thing for you, me, and Yu Tianwang." ”

Li Qi continued to be surprised: "That's really a good thing, I don't know Lord Zeng...... Are there any other ideas? ”

Zeng Ling said: "Jizhou is the Jizhou of Jizhou people, I and Yu Tianwang are both Jizhou people, naturally we have to stick to the old land of this hometown, now the Qingzhou Army and the Yuzhou Army have occupied a large area of land, and if I rely on my Jizhou Army alone, it is difficult to recover the ......"

Li Qi's face I understood.

He asked, "What does Lord Zeng mean is that he wants King Yu Tianwang to come forward and persuade those two people to withdraw from the army?" This is indeed feasible, Yu Tianwang is highly respected, and known as benevolence and righteousness, he said that if he is willing to say something, he will move it with emotion and reason, and the two festival envoys will definitely be convinced. ”

Zeng Lingxin said I persuaded your grandma.

Li Qixin said don't scold.

Zeng Ling smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "I mean, if King Yu Tianwang is willing to send troops, he will join forces with my Jizhou army to fight against foreign enemies and protect the millions of fathers and villagers under the rule of Jizhou......"

As soon as Li Qi heard this, he hurriedly interrupted Zeng Ling's words.

"Fighting?"

Li Qi shook his head again and again and said: "It's not good to fight, Yu Tianwang is a scholar, and scholars don't like to fight." ”

Zeng Ling squinted at Li Qi.

Li Qi changed his words, lowered his voice and said: "I'm a scholar, I don't like to fight, but do you know Lord Zeng?" King Yu Tianwang has a weakness, as long as he aims at his weakness, he will be able to convince. ”

Zeng Ling's eyes lit up slightly, he smiled and asked, "I just don't know what Li Gongzi said about the weakness of this Heavenly King?" Or rather, who? ”

Li Qi's voice was lowered, and he said mysteriously: "I only said that you know about this matter with Lord Zeng, and you must not spread it, that way, it's not good." ”

Zeng Ling hurriedly said: "That's natural, out of your mouth and into my ears, no one else knows." ”

Li Qi looked a little embarrassed and said: "There is one thing about King Yu, only I know, so only I will say it to Lord Zeng...... You may not know, no, you must not know what Yu Tianwang does in his house. ”

Zeng Ling frowned, and said in his heart that Yu Chaozong's father used to be an official of the imperial court and a state governor, so how could I not know what he was doing at home.

But he still asked: "What does King Yu's family do?" ”

Li Qi lowered his voice and said, "Selling medicine!" ”

Zeng Ling was about to take a sip of the teacup, but Li Qi's sentence of selling medicine almost made him squirt all the tea in his mouth.

Li Qi said very seriously: "You buy his medicine, be his big customer, big customer, in this way, if Lord Zeng asks him again, Yu Tianwang will never refuse, after all, you spent money." ”

Zeng Ling: "This ...... Hehehe...... What kind of medicine is this? ”
