If the medicinal materials in a place are in the hands of merchants who are not controlled by the government, once a catastrophe occurs, the medicine merchants will hoard and live strange, and the trouble will be great.

After all, every local government has a grain depot, but there is no medicine depot, and once the disaster is uncontrollable, it is the people and their parents who suffer. If the local pharmaceutical companies are controlled by the government through a certain relationship, and there is a disaster, there will be no uncontrollable situation.

From this point of view, Meng Zhizhou is bent on driving the Divine Cavalry out of the field of medicinal materials, the reasons should be very complicated, one is afraid that they will make money, and they are not controlled by the state government, the second is that the state government will not be able to collect their taxes, and the third is afraid that the medicinal materials business will be out of the control of the state government, as for whether there are other reasons, Yang Congyi can't guess for the time being, but the power and money transaction between the state government and the pharmaceutical merchants should be inevitable.

But now he wants to help the Divine Cavalry Army keep the medicinal herb business, where can he manage so many things that seem to be true or not, so he replied: "As far as Yang knows, the business of Renhe Pharmacy is not small, and the owner behind them is also an official, even if no one is an official, today is talking about the transfer of business, not about who has more to do with it, isn't it?" Besides, we have the final say on who our business is transferred to, and whoever offers the highest price will sell it to whomever you want, and if you don't want to buy it all, then find some more people. What does Master Meng think? ”

Meng Zhizhou also somewhat understood the current situation, Yang Congyi is on the side of the forbidden army, the medicinal materials business will definitely not be sold at a low price, and if the murderer turns over the accident, and the murder and robbery case cannot be closed quickly, he should be the first to be held accountable, and the career will end here.

The Divine Cavalry has been out of the state capital for a long time, and it is not possible to re-chain them in a moment and a half, first take out the medicinal herb business, even if they sell more money this time, and there is no money-making business, it will not be long in the future.

So he said: "Since the business is so big, you can't eat for a while, and you have time to waste time here, so it's better to find the other ones and discuss them together, and if you can negotiate, you can sign the transfer contract earlier." ”

When the businessmen heard Meng Zhizhou's words, no one dared to refute them, and they all nodded yes.

After a brief communication with everyone, they confirmed several pharmacists that they could look up to, and told the information to Lord Zhizhou.

Subsequently, Meng Zhizhou sent a few officials out to inform those pharmacists to come to discuss the expansion of business.

The people in the room couldn't get any results from talking about it, so they simply rested for half an hour.

Meng Zhizhou was busy with affairs, so it was naturally impossible to sit in the house and drink tea with everyone, so he left first, and he didn't know where to go.

The room was really stuffy, Yang Congyi also got up and walked out, Ming joined the army and followed, while the others quietly held teacups in their hands, each sipping tea, and sitting still.

The sun outside the house was very strong, and it was hot, and it only took a moment to sweat on my forehead.

So Yang Congyi and Ming joined the army and stayed under the shade of a tree to avoid the scorching sun.

"Lord Yang, is our offer too high?" After the argument just now, Ming Senjun obviously began to suspect that their own price was inflated, and no one was willing to take over.

"It doesn't matter if the price is high or not, if you quote 300,000 yuan, they will still feel high, in fact, they don't want to take over the business completely, and they don't even want to buy anything, they just want to wait for you to be unable to do it, and then divide your original assets. They have established an offensive and defensive alliance, and if they can tear you down, they will tear you down, and if they can't, they will let you rot, anyway, it has nothing to do with them, and when you rot, they will quickly occupy your former territory. It doesn't cost a copper plate, and the business is ultimately theirs. Yang Congyi explained.

"It's dark." Ming joined the army and suddenly realized that he immediately gritted his teeth.

"It's okay, call a few more people, maybe it will be different." Yang Congyi said it easily, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

"Lord Yang, why are you here?" A voice came from the side.

Yang Congyi turned around and saw that it was Liu Zhutou who was saluting, so he smiled and said, "Come and discuss something." Liu Zhutou is not on the street today? ”

Liu Zhutou replied: "Master Meng said, there is no need to find the murderer, he will come to the yamen when the time comes, and he didn't let us go out of the yamen today, and they all stayed in the yamen." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Master Meng said this, do you believe it?" ”

Liu Zhutou said: "Believe it, why don't you believe it, Master Meng said so, there is a reason for what he said, how to say it above, how to listen to it as a subordinate, think so much." ”

Then he glanced at the person next to him and asked, "Lord Yang, who is this?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "This is the Divine Cavalry Army commanding the Yamen to join the army, and the Ming to join the army." ”

Liu Zhutou hurriedly saluted and said, "The villain has seen General Ming." ”

"No need to be polite." As soon as Ming joined the army and bowed his hand slightly, his eyes looked away and he stopped talking.

Seeing that Ming had joined the army like this, Liu Zhutou stopped continuing to approach, and asked instead, "Lord Yang, you should stay in Jianpu County for a few more days, right?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "It won't be too long, the robbery and murder case is over, I should leave, there are still important things to do, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." ”

When Liu Zhutou heard the news, he couldn't help but look gloomy: "That's really a pity, Lord Yang came to the Yamen to help solve the case, it really helped his subordinates a lot, otherwise we would have tried our best, I'm afraid we won't be able to solve the case, I wanted to wait for the case to be over, and accompany the adults to visit the famous mountains and grandeurs of Nanjianzhou, I don't want the adults to be in such a hurry, I can only wait for the next opportunity." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "It's really not good this time, you can't delay it for a day, let's talk about it next time." After speaking, he then asked: "What are the famous mountains in Nanjian Prefecture?" ”

Liu Zhutou said: "The most famous is Wuyi Mountain, Bishui Danshan, southeast of Qixiujia, famous since ancient times. Then there is Xiyuan Gorge, the scenery is beautiful, the canyon is quiet, it has always been a summer resort, and in a few days, the wealthy families in the city should go there to escape the summer. When you come to Nanjian Prefecture, it would be a pity if you didn't see these two places. ”

Yang Congyi said: "Wuyi Mountain, Xiyuan Gorge, I heard you say this, I really should go and see it, but unfortunately my trip can't be delayed." However, I remember these two places and will definitely come back to see them when I have the opportunity in the future. ”

Liu Zhutou said: "Wuyi Mountain, Xiyuan Gorge are suitable for family tours, especially Xiyuan Gorge, every summer is the most suitable to take the whole family to escape the summer, there is all the food and drink there, clean and cheap, live for ten days and half a month, not to mention how comfortable." However, if you bring your children with you, you have to be careful not to let them run around casually, as there are often tigers in the area. Lord Yang, your children should not be small, right? ”

The sudden question made Yang Congyi a little embarrassed, and even Ming Senjun turned his head to look at him when he heard this.

"After all these years, I have no time to go home, and I still have no children." There is nothing to hide, it is not too late for a man to start a family in his thirties, there will always be children, so why rush for a while, so he replied casually.

After hearing this, Liu Zhutou said: "A young man like Lord Yang is ambitious and prosperous, and he should consider doing a good job of inheriting the family as soon as possible. Wait for the next time you come to Nanjianzhou, and take your children to visit the beautiful scenery of Wuyi Mountain and Xiyuan Gorge, then it will be in vain to come again, do you say, General Ming? ”

Ming joined the army and said: "Liu Zhutou is reasonable, Lord Yang should think about the affairs of his children, the last general does not have much time to go home every year, there are already three children, and the eldest son is almost ten years old." ”

"Hahaha, thank you two for your concern, I will definitely work hard." Yang Congyi was speechless for a while, why do big men also care about whether he has children, aren't these things the most concerned about women?

But then I thought of a thing, divorce my wife and marry another, this is all a thing done by men, inheritance, in ancient times was the top priority, the general family is still able to read people before the first time to enter Beijing to catch the exam, in case of accidents, or something in the field for too long, affecting the inheritance, so there have always been few unmarried people in the scientific examination, even if there is, but they are all poor people.

Thinking about it this way, the words and deeds of the two of them are not strange.

Liu Zhutou said again: "It's not that his subordinates are talkative, if Lord Yang marries three or two more wives and concubines, it is not difficult to have a group of children in three or five years, and then he can concentrate on state affairs without worries." ”

"Hahaha, Liu Zhutou is reasonable, but forget about the wives and concubines in three or two rooms, otherwise if there is a fight, I am afraid that the family will have to jump with chickens and dogs." Yang Congyi laughed and shook his head.

Liu Zhutou said: "What Lord Yang said is also true, there are many people in the family, and quarrels with anger are indeed unavoidable. ”

Just as he wanted to say something more, he suddenly saw a servant come over quickly and said, "Lord Yang, the others have arrived, Lord Zhizhou invites the two of you to discuss the matter." ”

"Okay, got it." Yang Congyi responded.

Liu Zhutou said: "Lord Yang has something, then there is time to talk again!" ”

Yang Congyi was in no mood to chat with him at this time, and replied "Say it again", and left in a hurry with Ming's army.

When the two of them returned to the room, they saw four or five more people, and what they were chatting about together, it should be the other medicine merchants they had just found.

After everyone greeted each other, Yang Congyi and Ming joined the army and sat down separately, without saying anything more, just waiting for them to discuss the result first.

There was nothing to do for the time being, Yang Congyi picked up the teacup and drank tea by himself, on the surface he seemed very calm, not impatient or impatient.

Suddenly, a person got up and approached him, and asked, "Dare to ask if it's Lord Yang?" ”

Yang Congyi raised his eyes and looked at it, only to feel that the person in front of him was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he put down the teacup and said, "It's Yang." ”

The man received an affirmative answer, and his face was happy.
