Bai Lie is a little older, so naturally he will not be with Xuanjing Ziyue, and besides, he can also see that the current Xuanjing martial arts have entered the realm day by day, even if he is not around to protect him, thinking about this land, there are no masters who can hurt Xuanjing, so Bai Lie went out alone these days and did not stay by Xuanjing's side.

And Ziyue stayed by Xuanjing's side all day long, Xuanjing couldn't, so he had to take Ziyue to run around in the major medicinal herb stores in Simiao County.

This Dian country and the Jin country are quite different, the Dian country does not have a centralized court, in the Dian country, each county town has its own independent county king's mansion, and does not obey the royal family, only need to pay a certain tax to the royal city of the Dian country every year.

Therefore, the administrator of each county town can be said to be the king of a small country, who can have his own soldiers, and it is completely up to them to make the regulations, of course, they are also crowned as the county king by the king of Dian.

In fact, Simiao County has always been an important production area of medicinal materials in Kyushu, where the four seasons are like spring, the climate is suitable, it can be said that it is suitable for the cultivation and growth of most of the medicinal materials, so every year in Simiao County, there are a large number of foreign businessmen who come here to purchase medicinal materials.

Xuan Jing actually came to Dianguo this time, and also had the idea of purchasing medicinal materials, although it is not needed now, but Hu Feng and Li Yuantang have begun to build an army in Huangzhou, reorganize the military hall of the Muyun Regiment, last year Hu Feng even personally went to Xihe Country in Hezhou, and reached a secret agreement with some chambers of commerce there, and smuggled a large number of equipment and weapons from Xihe Kingdom.

At the same time, Hu Feng also found several master craftsmen of the You nationality in Jizhou and established an arsenal in Huangzhou to mass-produce standard equipment.

Li Yuantang, on the other hand, was training troops in Huangzhou, and at the same time purchasing high-quality horses from various tribes to expand the cavalry.

Then Xuan Jing's purpose in coming to Simiao County this time is relatively clear, in addition to helping Huiqin seek Phantom Grass to cure her father's illness, there is also a crucial one, that is, hoping to establish a long-term and stable procurement channel for medicinal materials in Simiao County.

However, Xuan Jing took Ziyue around Simiao County for a few days before he learned that it turned out that almost all the bulk medicinal material trading businesses in Simiao County were controlled by Yaowanggu, and it can be said that every larger medicine store in Simiao County basically had Yaowanggu's shares in it.

In other words, if Xuan Jing wanted to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials from Simiao County for a long time, then Sun Qingfang of the Medicine King Valley would definitely not be able to get around. If Xuan Jing can have a good relationship with Sun Qingfang, then in the future, not only will the quantity and quality of medicinal materials be guaranteed, but also the required medicinal materials will be available at a much lower price than those on the market.

But when it comes to this Sun Qingfang, Xuan Jing also has a headache, it is said that this person has a strange temper, but he is extremely lustful, usually no matter who wants to meet Sun Qingfang, he must do what he likes, and offer young beauties, and then he can sit with Sun Qingfang to talk about business.

Moreover, this Medicine King Valley is the largest sect in Simiao County, and even the county kings here are courteous to the Medicine King Valley, Sun Qingfang is not only awarded the title of national teacher in Simiao County, but also vaguely mentioned in the information presented to Xuan Jing by the Hua family, saying that Sun Qingfang may have an affair with the princess of the county.

Generally, the information of the Hua family is relatively rigorous, although the wording uses the word "maybe", but with Xuanjing's understanding of the Hua family, since the information of the Hua family is there, then the county king of Simiao County must be green on his head.

"Childe, in the past two days, we have visited all the larger herbal medicine shops in Simiao County, but every time you go in, you ask from east to west, but you don't buy any medicinal materials, and you don't have a single business. Ziyue followed Xuan Jing for a few days in a row, smelling those unpleasant smells of Chinese medicine every day, and she also had some complaints in her heart.

Xuan Jing nibbled on the sugar gourd he bought on the street, and said vaguely: "It's normal for people to dislike us, you and I are only fourteen or fifteen years old, in ordinary people's homes, children of this age are still studying in the library, how can anyone run out to ask for business, if it weren't for our expensive clothes, it is estimated that people would have driven us out earlier." ”

Xuan Jing swallowed the hawthorn in his mouth, and then said: "And Ziyue, you too, we are out now, don't you just go into any medicine store like your own home, let people pour me tea for a while, and let people serve me snacks for a while, do you know that this will make me hate very much." ”

When Ziyue heard this, she threw the sugar gourd in her hand on the ground and said, "Childe, do you still blame me?" Isn't it all for your good? I'm afraid that you will be thirsty after talking about business for a long time, and you will talk too much, and besides, although we haven't bought any medicinal materials now, it doesn't mean that we won't buy them in the future, we are potential big customers. ”

Xuan Jing nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Miss Ziyue, you are so knowledgeable at a young age, it is not in vain that I rescued you from the Hundred Flowers Building, and I really found out when I came out this time, it turns out that you have a mocking face by nature, and you will definitely become a big thing in the future......"

The master and servant walked while arguing, and finally came to a medicine store on the corner of the street, which is no longer the central area of Simiao County, it is said that the medicine store here should not be too large, and Xuanjing didn't report any hope, but it was still early, just take a turn.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xuan Jing looked up, he actually saw a medicine store with a big signboard hanging on it, with the three big characters "Shennongtang" written on it.

Xuan Jing was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that this medicine store is located in the middle of nowhere, but it seems that the boss's tone is not small, and he actually dares to use the name of Shennong's family as the name of the medicine store, and it is said that Shennong has tasted all the herbs in the world, and I don't know if the medicinal materials in this medicine store are really so complete.

Thinking of this, as soon as Xuan Jing raised his legs, he stepped into Shennong Hall, but there was no greeting from the man when he entered the door, only an old man was reading a book with tea at the counter, and a young girl stood next to the old man, making calculations while facing the account book.

The old man looked to be sixty or seventy years old, but his hair was not yet completely white, and his complexion was ruddy, and he looked very good. The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, about a little older than Ziyue, with a long braid hanging down the back of her head, a round goose egg face, delicate and radiant skin, although she was still young, she would also be a beauty in the future.

It's just that when the old and the young in this medicine shop saw Xuanjing coming in, they didn't mean to get up and say hello, they still drank tea and settled accounts, as if they didn't see Xuanjing's master and servant.

Ziyue stepped forward in two steps, stood on the edge of the counter and asked, "Old man, are you the shopkeeper here?" ”

When the old man heard someone ask him, he put down the book and looked at Ziyue for a while, and after confirming that the little girl in front of him was talking to him, he slowly replied: "The old man is the shopkeeper here, little girl, are you asking for directions?" ”

Ziyue shook her head and said, "We're not here to ask for directions, we're here to buy medicine." ”

"Buying medicine?" The old man was a little surprised, but he still said: "Then just take a look, the old man has all the medicines here, but he never bargains, you write a list, what medicine you want, how many medicines you want, where to send them, I calculate the price here, you pay first, and then I will let people send it over." ”

"Don't bargain? Still have to pay upfront? Ziyue was surprised, she and Xuan Jing asked all the way, the rules of other medicine stores in Simiao County are to pay a deposit of fifty to seventy percent first, and then the medicine store is responsible for hiring a car to load the goods, and the dart bureau has a special escort business for medicinal materials, and when the buyer receives the goods, the buyer will pay the balance of the payment.

And listening to the meaning of the words of the shopkeeper of other medicine stores, the price of medicinal materials can be further negotiated, but the shopkeeper of Shennongtang in front of him does not bargain at a price, and he can only ship the goods after all payments are made, no wonder the business is so cold.

Ziyue was about to continue to ask, but Xuan Jing preemptively said: "Since the old shopkeeper said so, then follow the meaning of the old shopkeeper, please ask the shopkeeper to write a price on my purchase order, if the price is fair, I will never bargain!" ”

Xuan Jing said and took out a list from his sleeve, handed it to the old man on the counter with both hands, the old man saw that Xuan Jing was thoughtful, but he didn't dare to slack off, he also stretched out his hands to take it, took it and took it, his face changed when he landed, and his mouth said, "Ah! With a bang, he put down the list and looked at Xuan Jing carefully.

"You old man, our purchase list was given to you, you don't look at the list to write the price, what are you staring at our son?" Seeing the old man's strange expression, Ziyue asked.

The old man looked at Xuan Jing, his face sank and said, "You are the child of the shopkeeper of which medicine store, right?" Ran to the old man to ask about the price of medicinal materials? "It turned out that the list that this old man had opened by Xuan Jing was full of stab wound hemostatic medicinal materials such as Panax notoginseng and white grass, and the amount was extremely huge, even if all the medicinal herbs in the entire Simiao County were combined, they might not be able to gather all these medicinal materials in a moment.

What's more, Xuanjing's master and servant seem to be too young, how can any business house let such a young child go out to discuss business, so the old man couldn't help but be suspicious, thinking that the richly dressed son in front of him might be a guise sent by a peer to spy on the price.

Xuan Jing smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, you just fill in the price, as long as the price is right, there is no other thing to say, pay on the spot!" Couldn't you Shennongtang make up the medicinal materials I wanted? ”

"Don't talk big, how can we do business that can't be shipped, I'm afraid that you are just here to cheat, and you won't be able to buy it when the time comes!" The girl beside the old man heard Xuan Jing's words with thorns, and she didn't let go of a single step, and said-for-tat.

However, after the girl said this, she took the purchase order of medicinal materials that Xuan Jing had just handed over from the old man's hand on the spot, glanced at it casually, picked up the brush on the counter, wrote down the price on the paper, and then threw the list to Xuan Jing.
