Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside, and then Ji Rufeng walked in with three packs of Chinese medicine, and Zhao Tieshan followed behind, still holding a silver ingot in his hand.

Ah Fu took the herbs, "I'll go boil the medicine." ”

Although Nie Ling's head was dizzy and her body ached, she was no longer afraid when she heard what Song Kai said.

"This account...... This medicine money, you have to find Song Kai to report the bill, "When Nie Lingzhong was seriously ill, he didn't forget about the reimbursement, "Grandpa Ji, is the medicine expensive?" ”

Ji Rufeng's face was strange, he first shook his head, and then nodded.

Nie Lingdang saw Ji Rufeng's expression and sighed, "Could it be that the Rejuvenation Hall is too pitiful, and you are scared of Grandpa Ji." ”

Ji Rufeng smiled bitterly and looked at Song Kai with a very strange expression, "This medicine...... Didn't ask for money. ”

"Huh?" Nie Ling was stunned, thought about it, and said, "It seems that Sun Niangzi is looking at Song Kai's face, it's free." ”

"No, it's true that it's a reception for us called Mrs. Sun, but it's just ...... It's just that after she read the prescription, not only did she not ask for the medicine money, but also gave us two taels of silver, saying that this recipe, she was taught, and said that we are very generous, I ...... I was also confused by that woman," Ji Rufeng stared at Song Kai, "Song Lang, this recipe, isn't it your family's secret recipe?" ”

Song Kai came to his senses, it turned out that Sun Niangzi saw the recipe he created, and gave two taels of silver to buy it, he laughed, didn't speak, and sighed in his heart, these years medical books are really too poor, if it is in the future, there are secret recipes all over the place, and you can buy a whole book on a small roadside bookstall for three yuan.

Qing Niang's big watery eyes also looked at Song Kai, "Lang Jun, didn't you write that recipe just now?" ”

Song Kai waved his hand, "I'll explain it to you in detail later, and when the medicine is ready, take it while it's warm, and cover your sweat." ”

Not long after, Ah Fu came with a bowl of medicinal juice, took the medicine, covered two quilts, and slept for a while.

In the afternoon, Nie Ling opened his eyes, moved his muscles and bones, his body was relaxed, and his head was still slightly dizzy, but his body was much more refreshed.

Got out of bed, went out, and went to the backyard, where Song Kaizheng was talking to Ah Fu.

"It won't be long before the number of mahjong will increase, instead of cheapening those mahjong manufacturers on the black market, we should make it ourselves to sell it for money," Song Kai sat on the stone and said to Ah Fu: "You contact the carpenter before and ask him to find some people, five days, within five days, to make as many mahjong as possible, the key is to have the brand of our Hongchen Inn, the price of these mahjong can be lower than that of the black market, the most important thing is to print the brand of our Hongchen Inn on the mahjong, so that players can remember." ”

Ah Fu nodded, snot almost running down his lips.

"Also, keep it secret, pay attention to it these days, don't let people take mahjong out of the Hongchen inn, and try to delay the appearance of pirated mahjong," Song Kai advised.

"But...... Lang, mahjong is sold, will our inn business have an impact, these days, although the guest room has been bombed, but the business has been booming, the old slave thought, the bun shop should be rectified, and also built into a restaurant, and now our Hongchen inn restaurant is connected together, so that there can be more guests. "Ah Fu has also started to worry about the shopkeeper recently.

Song Kai nodded, "That's good, but now the inn's reserves are insufficient, let's talk about it when we make some money selling mahjong, as for affecting the inn's business, in fact, even if we don't sell mahjong ourselves, it won't take long for the black market to be flooded, and running an inn can't rely on mahjong, but on service and taste," Song Kai stood up, "Okay, Fubo, you go now, I'll come to the store today and be the shopkeeper." ”

Nie Lingzhong clasped her hands to her chest, stared at Song Kai, and when she saw Ah Fu leaving, she coughed and said, "Song Kai." ”

Song Kai turned his head, looked at Nie Ling's face, and said with a smile: "It's better." ”

"Hmm," Nie Ling laughed, her eyes looking Song Kai up and down, her eyes dripping.

Song Kai made a shy look, "What do you want to do?" Why are you looking at me so passionately? ”

Nie Lingzhong put his hands behind his back, his chest was slightly up, a little naughty, and a little arrogant, "I'm wondering, do you want to ...... Tie you up to the holy city. ”

As he spoke, Nie Ling took a few steps towards Song Kai, and the thief smiled.

"Don't, you female thief, don't come here, I'll call if you come over," Song Kai retracted his shoulders and stepped back.

"Scream, scream, no one will save you if you cut your throat," Nie Bell continued to lean over.

"Broken throat ......," Song Kai shouted.

Nie Ling suddenly broke out and stood there giggling.

Song Kai also stood in place, staring at Nie Ling, watching her laugh non-stop.

The laughter stopped, and Nie Ling was a little disappointed, "Song Kai, I wasn't joking just now, if I go to the Holy City, ......"

"If you go to the Holy City, will you marry me?" Song Kai suddenly spoke.

"Huh? …… Bastard, what do you say! I mean...... Well, go to the Holy City, we are still good friends," Nie Ling blushed, but he didn't flinch, and looked at Song Kai's eyes bravely.

Song Kai shook his head, "Bell, I want to stay, and besides, I think we can meet often, but we will meet in the future, I am Boss Song, and you are Boss Nie." ”

"Boss?" Nie Ling stared at Song Kai.

"Yes, the boss is the one who can make decisions," Song Kai pulled Nie Bell and sat down, "I need your help in the next thing, Bell." ”

"Oh? What does Boss Song need the little girl to do? Nie Ling was interested.

Song Kai ignored Nie Ling's joke and said, "I need a lot of money, not just for myself. Although the Hongchen Inn is currently operating very well, the money earned by relying on just one inn is far from enough, so I want to do business and trade with your Turkic countries in the Western Regions and the Great Food Country. ”

"Did you really decide to take the Silk Road?" Nie Ling hesitated a little, "Now, that place is very unsafe. To tell the truth, things on the border side are not optimistic, in the past, the army of the Tang Dynasty fought far away, and there were guards from the capital protectorate, and our Turkic country also surrendered for a time, and the Tang Dynasty business travel was quite safe. But now, it is controlled by the Arabs with round hats, and it is very unsafe to trade with them. ”

Song Kai said "um", "Although I don't know the situation very well, I also know the difficulties, so I want to ask you for help, don't go far for the time being, take your holy city as the center, and do transactions around, and I think the strength of my caravan is definitely first-class." ”

Nie Lingzhong nodded, "That's okay, I take care of the Holy City, and I don't think there will be any big mistakes, but out of the Turkic Country, it is under the control of the Great Food Country, and it is very dangerous there." ”

"Well, I still need you to refer to it when the time comes, in addition to silk and porcelain, I want to use paper and scriptures as trade commodities, what do you think?" Song Kai didn't know much about the situation in the Western Regions, so he asked Nie Ling.

Nie Ling thought for a while, "The scriptures are naturally very popular, but the cost is too high, and there will not be too many people who buy them." ”

Song Kai thought about it again and again, and said: "The cost problem is okay, after the tea garden is settled, I plan to experiment with papermaking and printing, and try to reduce the cost, as for printing, I have a good idea of letterpress printing, which can greatly reduce the cost of printing, the key is business, so this time you and my caravan will go back to the Holy City and help build your own site over there, how about it?" ”

"Good!" Nie Lingdang finally became happy, it turned out that this time the separation was not a farewell, "With me here, you can rest assured." ”

"Well, let Ah Fu follow you when the time comes, this trade route is very important to me, and it must be an absolutely trustworthy person, you can settle down there, and this route will be full of gold in the future." Song Kai laughed demagoguously.

Nie Lindang also chuckled, "If you go to the Holy City, it will be convenient." ”

"Well," Song Kai nodded, "When Fu Bo comes back, let's go to the tea garden to have a look, as soon as the Taihu Gang is calmed down, I will immediately prepare for business and trade......

In the afternoon, Song Kai and Nie Lingdang walked out of Hongchen Inn with Ji Rufeng, preparing to take a boat to Taihu Tea Garden to see the situation over there.

Qing Niang stayed in the inn and followed Ah Fu to learn some of the daily business of the inn, Song Kai trained Qing Niang as the best assistant, after all, this girl is smart and tight, and she is a good helper.

Song Kai and the three of them got on the canopy boat, and there were two Tsing Yi guards on board, this is Zhou Ce's subordinate, which can be regarded as a protection, how to say that Song Kai is now also an important cadre on Xue Weihai's side, shouldering a financial burden, so he naturally has to be protected.

The canopy boat swayed along the river towards the Taihu Lake outside the city.

Not long after the boat left, a man walked out under the willow tree on the shore.

The man stared at the direction in which the awning boat was leaving, sneered, and then hurried away with his head down, and soon entered a small teahouse.

In the backyard of the teahouse, a person who looks like a little second is boiling tea.

"How's it going?" The little second saw the man come in and asked.

"Go, take the waterway, it should be to go to the tea garden and contact the people of the Taihu Gang," the man sneered and said, "They think that Manager Yang will be safe if he dies, hmph, our bloody hand group will definitely not let them continue to live." ”

The person who looked like Xiao Er took out a small piece of paper, wrote a few words on it, grabbed a carrier pigeon, tied it, threw it with both hands, and the carrier pigeon flew quickly towards Taihu Lake.

"After the Taihu Gang kills them, how are we going to keep our promises?" The person who looked like Xiao Er scratched his head, "Now we don't have the ability to solve their difficulties at all." ”

"Hmph, why are you thinking so much, anyway, killing these two people, my bloody hand group can be regarded as revenge," the man said coldly, "As for those stupid Taihu gangs, they are just a group of reckless fishermen, and it's not easy to play with them?" ”

As the two of them were talking, the door of the teahouse in front of them was slammed down, and then more than a dozen soldiers armed with Tang knives rushed in.

"This is it, take them away! Go back and interrogate! A small leader looked down at the information in his hand, pointed at Xiao Er and the man, and said loudly, "There is an order from above, and no one in the bloody hand group is allowed to let go of ......."
