Chapter 1614: Buying Horse Bones by a Thousand Pounds (II)

A slight bitterness seeped into the tip of the tongue, and after a while, there was a slight sweetness in the aftertaste.

Sanqi, it's really Sanqi.

In view of the prestige of this plant in later generations, Li Chengqian also bought some at that time, and also checked a lot of information on the Internet. So when he saw Zhou Quanshun take it out, he was suspicious, and now he tasted it himself, and he was even more sure that this thing was indeed Sanqi.

"Where did this thing come from? Do you remember that place? Li Chengqian didn't care about the worried eyes of the people around him, spit out the residue of Sanqi in his mouth, looked directly at Zhou Quanshun and asked in a deep voice.

"Remember, remember!" Zhou Quanshun was already firmly controlled by the guards of the Qin Wangfu at this time, and he was already scared enough, Li Chengqian's question was naturally a bamboo tube pouring beans, and he told all the stories of how he found this thing.

It turned out that Zhou Quanshun was just a businessman who ran a gang, and last year because he heard that the people in the southwest bureaucracy department were stupid and had a lot of money, as long as he was bold enough, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money when he went there.

So Zhou Quan gave up his family business by the way, and used all the money to get some spices, silk and other things and transport them to the southwest border of the Tang Dynasty.

But when he crossed Lizhou and entered the territory of the wingman, he found that he still thought about things too simply, where the bureaucrat might really make a lot of money, but this money was exchanged for his life.

There are almost no roads in the dense jungle, and all the goods need to be carried by horses, or they are carried by people, and if it is only like this, it is better to say, the most terrible thing is that the forest is full of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and there are many traps set by the wingmen, and if you are not careful, you may die on the spot.

After seeing such a situation, Zhou Quan had the idea of retreating by the way, but thinking of the goods he had exchanged for all his net worth, he had to move forward with his head.

And just when he was exhausted, thinking that he would die in the barren land of the southwest, he encountered the biggest difficulty of the trip, a very hungry wild boar.

There is no need to go into detail about the process of the fight, in short, Zhou Quanshun was lucky to survive from under the fangs of the wild boar, but he was seriously injured.

At this time, he was desperate and planned to lie down and wait for death, and it was at this time that a group of wingmen who went into the mountains to hunt met him and rescued him.

And the things that those bureaucrats used to save him at that time were this kind of thing that Li Chengqian called Sanqi.

Li Chengqian did not let Zhou Quanshun continue to talk, his own stories have reached countless levels, and there is no need to care about other people's accidents at all.

So after knowing the origin of Panax notoginseng, Li Chengqian immediately raised his hand to stop Zhou Quanshun: "The patent office of the things you brought is asking for it, and now you have two choices, first, participate in the sharing every year, and all the Sanqi sold will have one hundred of your profits; Second, if everything is settled, the Patent Office can give you two hundred dollars as compensation, but from now on you will have nothing to do with this thing. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked.

A few things that looked like ginger, worth two hundred yuan, always sounded like a dream.

Zhou Quanshun couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Li Chengqian blankly for a long time before he squeaked and asked, "That, that, this, this, this thing is worth two hundred yuan?" ”

"No, this thing isn't worth two hundred guan, these two hundred guan are the money to buy your news." Li Chengqian said with a light smile.

"This, this is too much, too much, isn't it?" Zhou Quanshun stammered and asked.

"That's not a lot of money for the efficacy of this thing, and if you participate in the share, you'll only get more than this number in the future, not less than that." Li Chengqian didn't hide anything, and bluntly told Zhou Quanshun how he should choose.

But to Li Chengqian's surprise, Zhou Quanshun did not choose a share that was more beneficial to him, but took 200 yuan and left directly.

What should be explained here is that what Li Chengqian gave was not copper money in the traditional sense, but a certificate of deposit from the Royal Bank.

The Royal Bank has been in business for a long time, and the merchants have all recognized the benefits of keeping their money in the bank, as well as the bank's certificates of deposit.

It is precisely because of the bank's deposit certificate that Zhou Quanshun can take away 200 yuan at a time.

And, if he wanted to feel more at ease, the best thing to do was to go to the Royal Bank and exchange the certificate of deposit in his name and signature, which was the safest.

However, what needs to be discussed now is not the Royal Bank, but the credibility of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian looked at the back of Zhou Quanshun leaving, and faintly had some guesses in his heart as to why he chose a more loss-making trading method, he probably didn't believe that the court would fulfill the promise of sharing in the future, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to take the money and leave.

With such thoughts, Li Chengqian recruited a guard beside him: "Go and invite Doctor Sun over, be fast." ”

"Yes!" The guard replied and flew away.

After the guards left, Li Chengqian glanced at the people who were whispering together, and said loudly: "Okay, everyone is gone, there is no excitement to watch, and this king is going back to rest!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Highness!" Everyone gathered looked at His Royal Highness King Qin, who turned to leave, and gave a salute in unison, and then scattered in groups of three and two in groups.

It's just that the appearance of Zhou Quanshun leaving with the money just now has been deeply rooted in their hearts, and everyone is wondering if there are any treasures in their family that can be exchanged for some money.

……

But Li Chengqian, who returned to the house, did not go to rest as he just said, sitting on the chair at the door of the study, Xiao Li called Xiaobai and Ye Mei to his side: "How much do you know about the gambling house?" ”

"The ministers don't know much, what I really want to say should be clearer about Shu Tian." After all, Xiaobai had traveled with Shu Tian and Cheng Huaan for a period of time, and knew these two people better.

"Shu Tian? What has this guy been up to lately? Speaking of Shu Tian, Li Chengqian remembered that he hadn't seen this person for a long time.

"I heard that there has been a strange case in Dali Temple in the past few days, and Shu Tian seems to have been transferred to investigate the case." Yang Yuxin whispered on the side.

"Hehe......" Li Chengqian smiled inexplicably, and turned his head to look at Yang Yuxin: "Why does this king suddenly feel that Chang'an City is not peaceful?" Is there something you're hiding from me? ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yuxin and the other three bowed together: "The ministers don't dare!" ”

"Don't dare to ......" Li Chengqian muttered, taking a deep breath: "Call Shu Tian back to this king, this king wants to know what difficulties Dali Temple has encountered, and he needs to transfer people from the intelligence department to investigate the case." ”
