"This ......"

If you predict when there will be rain, according to the animal prediction method taught to him by Li You, as well as the experience accumulated by Qin Tianjian, Li Chunfeng can still tell one, two, three, but this prediction of sunny days has not been studied.

However, Wei Zheng was beside him, he couldn't drop the chain, he saw Li You's eyes, and after a little thought, he understood. It's rainy weather now, Li You asked, of course, hoping that he would say that there would be sunny days.

Li Chunfeng said: "It should be." ”

Li You hurriedly said: "Daochang Li, you think the same as I think, it will definitely turn cloudy and sunny in a few days." ”

Li Chunfeng saw Li You's affirmation and said, "Yes, it will definitely be sunny." ”

Li You said: "Okay, when the merchants come, you can explain it to everyone." ”

Li Chunfeng was in danger last time, and he was blessed by misfortune, he knew that Li You had given him another chance to make a name for himself, and this time he predicted the weather accurately, and his reputation Li Chunfeng would definitely be greatly enhanced.

He said: "Your Highness, you tell the minister when the time comes, and the minister will come to prove it." ”

Wei Zheng couldn't understand what they were playing, and he didn't understand what this matter had to do with the weather. He always wanted to ask, but he had to keep his word before the agreement.

……

After Cheng Chuliang returned from Tuyuhun, he was transferred to the rank of captain of Jinwuwei Zhenwei and stayed in Chang'an.

At this moment, according to Wei Chigong's order, he took the roster of pharmacists from the West Market Bureau, and sent soldiers to follow the people of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce to summon the pharmacists according to the address registered on the roster.

In a courtyard of Fengyi Fang, Liu Kan, a pharmacist, heard that people from the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce were coming, so he came out to greet them, but saw two soldiers behind them.

The person came and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, I am on the order of President Jia, please go to the Qi Palace, for a meeting, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi will personally receive you." ”

Liu Kan heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qi wanted to see him, and he had no contact with him on weekdays, so he didn't know what he was looking for him.

However, Liu Kan was not stupid, and immediately guessed Li You's intentions, knowing that it must be related to the purchase of medicinal materials by the imperial court. Moreover, I guessed that it must be to let them sell the medicinal herbs at a reduced price.

He felt that he couldn't go, and after he went, the king of Qi told him about it in person, and promised that he would suffer a loss, but if he didn't agree, he would offend the king of Qi, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble. After all, King Qi's reputation has been ringing for many years.

He said, "Oh, the villain's house is in a hurry, I'm afraid I can't go." ”

At this time, the soldier behind him intentionally or unintentionally pulled out half of the waist knife, and Liu Kan immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He had already heard that the King of Qi was not stingy, and in the palace, he dared to break the leg of the deputy chief eunuch, and he was a small person, even if he was killed, he didn't know where to cry out for injustice.

He immediately said, "Well, I'll go right away, I'll explain the affairs at home and leave." ”

The soldier inserted the knife into the scabbard and said impatiently: "Hurry up, His Royal Highness King Qi has no time to wait for you." ”

Qi Wangfu.

Before lunch, 71 large and small pharmacists in Chang'an City were invited to the Qi Palace.

Jia Jinxian presided over the meeting, and he introduced Li You, Wei Zheng, and Li Chunfeng.

When the businessmen saw Wei Zheng present, they felt a lot more at ease. Wei Zheng is well-known for his impartiality and selflessness, and with him, His Royal Highness the King of Qi should not come nonsense.

Jia Jinxian said: "Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness King Qi takes great care of our businessmen, and last time he gave our children the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination and be able to be officials, and His Royal Highness King Qi also promised that he would further fight for the rights and interests of our businessmen in the future."

Today, His Royal Highness King Qi needs everyone's help in something, and I ask you to help. ”

For Li You, the businessmen still recognize him, and they also admire his business talent very much. However, if Li You made them bleed profusely and sold the medicinal herbs at a reduced price, they would not agree.

Everyone had already made up their minds, no matter what Li You said, they didn't agree to sell medicine at a lower price, no one wanted to miss such a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Therefore, after Jia Jinxian finished speaking, everyone was silent, and there was silence in the venue.

When Wei Zheng saw this situation, his heart suddenly cooled half.

Li You spoke. He said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you also know my views on business, and here, I can say with certainty that business is a very important part of Datang's social life and is indispensable.

The imperial court has instructed me to set up a commercial department in the research institute and agreed to establish the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce. This was the beginning of the improvement of the status of business, and in the future, the status of business will be further improved.

Of course, as the status of commerce increases, so does the status of merchants. ”

"Buzz", this is good news, the merchants are very excited, and there is a lot of discussion.

However, if Li You proposed to let the merchants make less money, there would be no way.

Sure enough, Li You got to the point, he said: "Right now, there is a plague in Chang'an City, and there is a prescription for treating the plague, but there is a shortage of medicinal materials.

I know you have it in your hands. ”

Speaking of this, the merchants were nervous.

Li You looked at everyone's faces and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, listen to me slowly."

You have the medicinal materials in your hands, they are your own, they are what you have worked hard to accumulate, you just have to wait for a good opportunity to make money, and now you can sell them at a high price, it is a matter of course, you can sell them as you want, and no one has the right to interfere. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the merchants were much better.

Li You said: "Of course, you have to wait for a good opportunity to make money, but what is a good opportunity? That is, when there is a shortage of stock, hurry up and make money, and if you miss the opportunity, you won't be able to make money, I'm right. ”

The businessmen nodded in agreement, which is the most basic principle of doing business.

Li You said: "The Chang'an Chamber of Commerce was established, and I support it, and the Chamber of Commerce serves the interests of businessmen. I support you in making money, no opinion.

However, you have to seize the opportunity to make money, and I tell you, you will soon lose the opportunity to make money. ”

The merchants did not understand what he meant, and one of them asked, "Your Highness, please elaborate?" ”

Li You said: "The current plague is actually the flu, and this flu is divided into different types......

He first popularized the knowledge of toxic influenza.

"I see." The merchants were talking.

Li You continued: "Everyone understands. As long as there is a period of sunny weather, the temperature rises, and the flu will subside naturally.

Now there is news, which is good news for the people of Chang'an, and I am afraid that it is bad news for you. ”

After speaking, he motioned for Li Chunfeng to speak.

Li Chunfeng was dressed in a Taoist robe, and said with a Dao bone fairy wind: "I have been observing the celestial phenomena recently, and in the past few days, the rainy weather will disappear, and there will be a period of sunny weather.

If it doesn't shine within three days, I will ask Taishang Laojun to grant Chang'an a sunny day. ”

Since Li Chunfeng accurately predicted the rain, especially the fish and shrimp falling from the sky, Li Chunfeng has been expressed. For Li Zhenren's words, everyone was convinced.

Li You said: "Everyone understands. I also want to tell you the bad news - the imperial court has urgently dispatched medicinal materials from other places to Chang'an, and soon, the medicinal materials in your hands will not be sold. ”
