The weather in Guide has always been good, and it rarely rains.

Of course, not only Guidefu, but also the whole of China during the late Ming Dynasty, it rarely rained.

The so-called Xiaoice River is coming, the weather is abnormal, and most of the areas north of the Central Plains include Liaodong, Jiubian, Shanxi and Shaanxi, and most areas are in a long period of drought.

It's not that the crops don't grow in drought, but that in most of these places, the drought can't grow crops.

Su Baiyi knew that the so-called peaceful scenes in Guide Mansion would soon collapse as the weather deteriorated further and a series of factors such as the southward movement of the people in Shaanxi.

At that time, the rebel army swept across the north and south of the river, and the Liaodong Tartars were eyeing Shanhaiguan like a tiger, and the last straw that crushed the Ming Dynasty would eventually appear.

So, what can I do in these few short years?

Take refuge in the south, or establish a force of your own in Guide to protect yourself?

Or, simply collude with the peasant army to overthrow the Ming Dynasty?

Neither!

Su Baiyi shook his head, shook his hand lightly, and walked more powerfully: what he wanted was the kind of rise on the basis of preserving the imperial power as much as possible, not to make this great nation break down again.

The Chinese nation, in today's world pattern, can no longer allow another major injury!

……

The big car shop south of Binhu Road, in a fairly clean room.

Qiu San was still shirtless, sitting on the Taishi chair with his feet crossed, drinking tea with a big grin, and Wang Minde, the shopkeeper of Chaoren Xintang, who was laughing, said: "Shopkeeper Wang didn't see the stupidity of those people. Hahaha, the little ladies look very watery, tsk, I must bring them back to Bozhou if I have the opportunity in the future. ”

Wang Minde held the teapot, laughed while drinking, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of lewdness, and said: "Wait and see, with my Wang Minde in one day, there is no place for her Tongjitang in this Guide Mansion Pharmacy." A stranger who has no relatives and no support, even enters with interest, and when the time comes, won't our brothers take it away?

It's just that the scholar seems to be in some trouble! ”

Wang Minde is a person who has come over, he knows very well the depth of the pool of water in Guide Mansion, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed, and a scholar may not have any strength, but what grievances have been suffered by the scholar is a big thing.

Of course, after a quick glance that day, he didn't recognize Su Baiyi.

"That's a fool too!" Qiu San waved his hand: "You didn't look at his stupid appearance two days ago, hehe, little brother, I only made a board axe with three plates, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't speak." Hey, fight me, and don't look at who I am? ”

Qiu San has been out all the year round, and there must be a lot of tricks to deceive and deceive.

"That being said!" Wang Minde's brows frowned imperceptibly: "But don't be careless, after all, he is a scholar, in our Ming Dynasty, the most important thing to offend is a scholar." What about the princes and generals on your side?

Hehe, King Liao is powerful enough, right?

In the end, wasn't our Zhang Ge Lao ruined his family? ”

The descendants of the first Liao kings were relocated to Jingzhou for some historical reasons, because of their arrogance and arrogance, they forced their own goalkeepers to drink, and as a result, an old Neene was drunk to death.

Old Negne's grandson, that famous Uncle Zhang, later counterattacked strongly, and after gaining power, he directly abused the Liao Wang's family into dogs.

"Hey......" Qiu San waved his hand disappreciatively, put down his feet from the armrest of the Taishi chair, squeezed out a smile on his face full of scars that was even uglier than crying, and said complimentarily to Wang Minde: "This little white face is not Zhang Ge Lao, besides, with you and Lord Chen's big tree, who can do anything to us in Guide Mansion?" ”

"That's right!"

Wang Minde twisted his beard and smiled happily.

Others thought that this Renxin Hall was his Wang Minde's property, but who would have thought that the boss behind this was a ruthless character who killed gods and Buddhas in Guide Mansion!

"Knock knock" a sound that could knock the earth down the wooden stairs outside.

Three seconds later, the door was vigorously pushed open, Qiu San's fat wife stood at the door, and was about to shout at her man, when she saw that there was still Wang Minde, the face that had scolded before immediately piled up a smile, replaced it with a sweet voice, and said in a sweet voice: "It turns out that you are also the shopkeeper Wang?" ”

The sound entered his ears, and Wang Minde almost spit out his breakfast.

"What's the matter?" Qiu San looked at his mother-in-law dissatisfied.

"The one who buys medicine is said to be a big customer."

"Oh?" Qiu San's eyes lit up.

Wang Minde frowned.

"Brother Wang, look?" Qiu San has no status in Guide Mansion, and he can mix here almost entirely on Wang Minde's help.

"Since the business is here, let's go down and take a look, as long as it's not that little girl, I don't care about your business." Wang Minde is also generous.

Qiu San nodded, and was about to go down when he suddenly saw two strangers walking downstairs with smiles on their faces, their steps not fast or slow, leisurely.

"Hehe, come uninvited, the owner doesn't have to blame."

A middle-aged man with a thin face walked up from below, and by looking at his face, he knew that he was either rich or expensive.

"Are you ......" Qiu San suddenly became vigilant.

To put it bluntly, the private room above belongs to a big car shop, not his Qiu San's private space, and he can't blame others too much for breaking in like this.

Moreover, if you guess correctly, it should be the person who bought medicinal herbs in the mouth of the mother-in-law.

"Oh, it's him, who wants to buy medicinal herbs." Mrs. Qiu San took the lead in explaining.

The talent who came arched his hand: "In Xiagu Xuanfei, a person from the capital, I heard that Mr. Qiu is the largest supplier of medicinal materials in Guide Province, so I want to see if there is any possibility of cooperation!" ”

"From the capital?" Qiu San was stunned.

Wang Minde was also stunned.

Gu Xuanfei nodded.

"Where can't I get the medicinal materials, why did the people in the capital still come to our Guide Mansion?" Wang Minde expressed the doubts in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xuanfei didn't answer him at all, pretended to smile mysteriously, raised his face very confidently and said: "The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, you are willing to do business, if you don't want to, go downstairs!" ”

"Hey, hey......" Qiu San smiled, grabbed Gu Xuanfei and said, "Where is Mr. Gu?" The one who comes is a guest, come, sit down, let's sit down and talk. ”

"Tea!" Qiu San glanced at the Hun family again.

The mother-in-law went downstairs again.

"Mr. Gu, please be seated!"

Gu Xuanfei glanced at Wang Minde, lifted his hem and sat on the chair, and a delicate young man in his twenties behind him stood behind Gu Xuanfei, and a domineering momentum naturally emanated. At a glance, you can tell that there is real kung fu in you.

Sure enough, it's a character from Jingshi, it's not simple!

Qiu San sighed in his heart, but his face was silent, he was not a three-year-old child who had just come out to mix, and he knew when to put on what kind of momentum. For example, now, you can't be too high-profile, and you can't lose your own momentum.

If you are too high-profile, it is easy to drive away customers, and if you are too unimposing, you will inevitably fall into weakness and become passive when doing business.

He opened his mouth lightly, and the scar on his face no longer looked hideous: "I don't know what medicinal materials Mr. Gu wants to buy from Qiu?" With a land as big as Jingshi, what can't you buy? ”

Gu Xuanfei took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows, and his vicissitudes of life revealed that he was extraordinarily skilled in the business field, "It is also appropriate for Mr. Qiu to have doubts about someone Gu, and if I change to someone Gu, I will also have doubts." But, I'm sorry, it's really inconvenient for me to tell you about this. ”

"As for what medicinal herbs, take a look at them first!"

Gu Xuanfei put down the teacup in his hand, took out a yellowed list from his sleeve, gently handed it to Qiu San, and added: "Regardless of whether the business is successful or not, please ask Mr. Qiu to keep this matter confidential for us." ”

"Good!"

Qiu San reached out and took the note, then opened it.

Even Wang Minde, who had been sitting next to him and had nothing to do with himself, ran over a little unable to sit still, stretching his long neck like a male duck, and his curiosity was no worse than that of a child.

"Codonopsis,

radix astragali

licorice

Rehmannia,

forsythia

Schisandra

……

Honeysuckle! ”

Qiu San read it a few times in a low voice, then raised his head and looked at Gu Xuanfei carefully, paused, and said: "They are all northern herbs, such as rehmannia and so on, although we also have them in the Central Plains, but the yield is very small." ”

"Mr. Qiu has good eyesight!" Gu Xuanfei gave a thumbs up, smiled and nodded: "Yes, they are all some northern herbs, if Mr. Qiu has it here, the price is not a problem." ”

Hiss~~

Qiu San gasped.

This guy has a big breath.

When doing business, you can say the phrase "price is not a problem", either this person is rich, or this person is in a hurry!

"There are some ways, but these medicinal materials are not grown locally, such as this Codonopsis, which comes from Shanxi. So the amount is not very large, if Mr. Gu is in a hurry, I can turn over everything here for you.

It's just that Mr. Qiu must have inquired about the market price of our house! ”

Although it is said that bidding money is not a problem, no one in business is a fool.

Qiu San knew that people would definitely inquire about their prices in advance before coming.

"Naturally, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible." Gu Xuanfei smiled, took back the paper in Qiu San's hand, and then said: "On the basis of Mr. Qiu's original price, I am willing to pay another 10%, I don't know what Mr. Qiu thinks?" ”

"Ichisei?" Qiu San's heart was suddenly ecstatic.

In addition to meeting the stunned young lady like the beautiful little lady a few days ago, where can Qiu San make a profit from selling medicinal materials, but now it's good, people directly add a one-time profit, what kind of wool does this mean.

"Cheng, Cheng!" Qiu San almost stood up from his seat excitedly.

"Mr. Qiu, it's good if you agree, but my price is not for nothing, I still have one condition!" Gu Xuanfei said solemnly.

"On what terms?" Qiu San chuckled in his heart, and said secretly: Sure enough, there are delicious fruits in this world, and I don't know what conditions he wants to propose!

"Two words, be quick!"

Gu Xuanfei blurted out, and Qiu San was obviously relieved.

That's not a problem.

"I'll give you all the goods tomorrow!"

"No way!" Gu Xuanfei flatly refused: "I can't wait for tomorrow, noon, all the goods will be prepared before noon, and I will trade with cash." ”

Without waiting for Qiu San to agree, he said to his bodyguard: "Prepare to receive Mr. Qiu's goods at noon, and make sure that we go to Bozhou before dark in the afternoon, where is the big market!" ”
