Zheng Guobao eased his cheeks at this time, "It's still Wang Lao Hero who can speak, so I will accept it." Mr. Ping, your name is unknown, and this official has also heard of it. It's just that I don't know why you are so idle and came to the home of the old hero Wang. Could it be that one of the old hero's good friends is unwell and asks Ping Langzhong to come to mediate? ”

Ping Yizhi was cleaned up by Uncle Guo a few times, and he didn't dare to take a posture like he did at the beginning and pretend to be a superior. He smiled and said: "That's not it, the children of the Wang family, everyone practices martial arts, and their bodies are very strong." It's just that the chaotic soldiers are together, poisoning the Quartet, and the two armies are fighting, and casualties are inevitable. Nowadays, on the ground in Henan, there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and the people are miserable, and often the sick can only wait for death. In Xia Bucai, it was also raised by this side of the water and soil, so when I came to Luoyang, I wanted to find a way. ”

When Zheng Guobao heard this, he also came to his senses, "What? Does Mr. Ping want to purchase a batch of medicinal materials to donate medicine to the doctor and help the people? If this kind of act is a good deed, the official also wants to do his best to see if he can provide you with some medicinal materials from the government, and the price is negotiable. ”

Ping pointed and smiled, "Uncle Guo, you misunderstood. It is a small hand, and there is a batch of medicinal herbs. Before the Henan Mutiny, a small coincidence prepared a batch of crude drugs, which were never used. Now I want to serve the court, but there is no way, and I ask my uncle to give guidance. ”

In the war, medicinal herbs, like food and weapons, were all in short supply. In this Henan Mutiny, the local medicinal materials, especially the wound medicine, are all priceless and extremely rare. Even if someone has medicine in their hands, they still hoard it and refuse to sell it. In order to solve the crisis of medicinal materials in Henan, the imperial court said. also made a decree and allocated a sum of money from Taicang. He also allowed Henan to levy and promote the number of troops to purchase medicinal materials and grain, and to recruit soldiers to cope with the anti-bandit operation.

Ping pointed to Wang Yuanba and the two of them, and fixed his eyes on this piece of fat. An important difference between imperial court procurement and private trading is that the price of medicinal materials has nothing to do with the market price, but only with the person in charge of procurement. What is the price of medicinal materials, it all depends on the purchaser's pen. Everything else can be ignored. One of these two people is a famous doctor, the other is a strong man, and the two strong men join forces, and this transaction is bound to be a million profits. However, since the imperial court appointed Zheng Guobao to suppress the bandits, he was in charge of the Henan rebellion. Such a big thing, such a big oil and water, he didn't take the first bite. Who dares to move chopsticks?

Wang Yuanba is the conscience of the squire, and the representative of the advanced nature of the clan. Naturally, you can't let the fat of the medicinal herb business pass through the door. What's more, in this business, there are also some unspeakable figures and forces involved, if they can be involved in the future. It is equivalent to hugging a mountain of gold and enjoying it endlessly. He gave gold gall yesterday and held a family banquet today. Of course, there is a factor of making friends and preventing others from complaining, this medicinal herb business. But it's the most important main course.

Zheng Guobao said: "I see. It seems that I misunderstood, but Mr. Ping is a famous doctor. Now that there are not a few sick and injured people in Luoyang City, why didn't Mr. Ping take care of the diagnosis and treatment, but started a business? ”

As soon as he entered the professional field, Ping Yizhi seemed to have confidence. "I'll shoot? That's not going to happen. My contribution should be in research, in writing books, not in seeing doctors. How many patients can I see in a day? And how many patients can I save with one book? The difference between the numbers between the two seems to be the difference between one enemy and ten thousand enemies. Uncle Guo didn't read the new book, he wanted to eat mung beans for a long time, and he wanted healthy mung bean soup. As soon as this article came out, all the people of the Ming Dynasty who read and listened to it could benefit from it. Isn't it much better than me to see a doctor? Besides, in Kaifeng, I opened a museum to practice medicine, and I also needed 600 wen to register a number, and I also needed to prescribe another prescription, and the medicine could only be caught by me. In Luoyang, if I do it at this price, and those victims can't pay, when the time comes, sell their children and daughters to raise money for medicine, how can I bear it? I'm also a kind person, so I can't do it. ”

Wang Yuanba said: "Uncle Guo rest assured, the famous doctors in Luoyang City and the surrounding areas, the old man has already mobilized them to treat the injuries and illnesses of my Ming officers and soldiers, Uncle Guo just rest assured." The only problem now is this medicinal herb. If there is no medicine in your hands, if you are Hua Tuo's reincarnation, you will be helpless. ”

Zheng Guobao asked again, only to know that the batch of medicinal materials in Ping's hand was really incredible, just Changbai wild ginseng, there must be dozens of catties. Other medicinal materials are mostly rare outside the customs, and the prices are not ambiguous. Wang Yuanba is even more built, Zheng Guobao wrote an official letter, in the name of subsidizing the people, the medicinal materials in the hands of the government were sold to Ping Yizhi at a low price, and then the government bought back the medicinal materials sold to Ping Yizhi at a high price. If you are afraid of trouble, the medicinal materials do not leave the warehouse, and only complete the transfer on the official letter of the text, it is not impossible.

Since Wang Yuanba's name is Golden Dao Mengwei, he will not do anything to be sorry for his friends. After this is done, 30% of the gross profit belongs to the national uncle, even if it is the polishing fee for the approval documents.

Zheng Guobao listened, and he didn't say he agreed or disagreed, but he was perfunctory and refused to express his position. When Wang Yuanba saw it, he knew that this was intentional. Fortunately, I also thought that such a big business would not be discussed so smoothly, and I had been mentally prepared for a long time. commanded, set up a banquet, Wang Yuanba, Ping Yizhi, and invited Master Shaolin Yuanjing to accompany Zheng Guobao with wine.

There are eighteen halls under the Shaolin Temple, and Master Yuanjing is the deacon of Yanshou Nunnery, and his status is extraordinary. Wang Yuanba's Golden Knife Gate can be established, and it is also inseparable from the support behind Shaolin, in a sense, the Golden Knife Gate has to be regarded as Shaolin's fetters sect. The medicinal herb business is such a big deal, it is impossible to pass through Shaolin, without the willingness of Shaolin monks, the Buddha refuses to bless, pay attention to the medicinal materials in the province, and lose as much as you want.

However, the Shaolin monks have high morals, and the four are empty. If you come out to negotiate money, it will inevitably damage the image of the monks, and they just need to collect the money with peace of mind. Therefore, he did not show up when he was talking about business, and when it was time to eat, Yuanjing came out to sit down with Uncle Guo.

This banquet was renovated very carefully, and the dishes were a little more sumptuous than yesterday's prefect's reception banquet. Master Yuanjing praised while eating, "Amitabha, this elbow tastes good, Uncle Guo, you can taste it." The poor monk is also well-informed, and Uncle Fang Sheng's vegetarian food has been eaten many times, but if you want to say that this elbow has to eat our Luoyang. ”

Wang Yuanba personally took the cup and toasted Zheng Guobao, and Ping Yi also said: "Uncle Guo taste, this wine is a medicinal wine brewed with Changbai Lao Mountain ginseng, the function is extraordinary, if the martial arts practitioner drinks it, he can add a few years of skill." Let me tell you, this Changbai wild ginseng is a good thing, also called back to the soul grass, it is a dead person, as long as the body is not stiff, cut a piece of 100-year-old ginseng in the mouth, you can also hang a breath. Ordinary people, if you want to live a long life and eat mung beans, you want to be healthy, mung bean soup. The rich and noble, this Changbai Yeshan ginseng, but they can't leave for a while. As for the other ginseng, it is useless to eat it or not. ”

Zheng Guobao didn't argue with him, but just asked, "What, Mr. Ping, are you still interested in doing this Changbai wild ginseng business?" You must know that the imperial court strictly restricts this, and it is not allowed to buy and sell at will. ”

"I know, I know. This ban is good, Ping raised his hands to welcome it. If there is no ban, how can the price of wild ginseng rise, and what do we rely on to make a living. It's just that now this business is monopolized by Jin merchants, and it is difficult to find good ginseng and the price is high. Those Jin merchants can't rely on ginseng monopoly to oppress doctors like us, and the common people will use drugs cheaply. ”

Yuanjing clasped his hands together: "Master Ping, what you said is wrong." Whether the people's medicine is cheap or not, that is something that the officials should care about, the uncle is a nobleman of the heavenly family, how can this kind of thing make the uncle tired? According to the poor monk's view, how much ginseng can this edict be worth is the first priority. ”

Ping pointed and stretched out his hand, "Five catties of Changbai wild ginseng are guaranteed to be more than 30 years old." In addition, if someone in Uncle Guo's family is infected with a small illness, a codex, I will immediately rush from Kaifeng to Jingshi, and I will never dare to be lazy. What does Uncle Guo think? ”

Zheng Guobao knew that if this edict was really given to him, the price of ginseng was estimated to rise. should not be him, but praise the good wine and good food, and the excellent cook. Otherwise, if you just talk about some ups and downs, you just won't answer this talk. Wang Yuanba coughed, "Uncle Guo, it's hard to drink without wine." My two granddaughters have been fond of boxing since they were children, and they have practiced martial arts for a few years. Although the talent is dull and he has never been able to practice excellent kung fu, it is enough to talk about self-defense. It's better to let them dance in front of the banquet, and Uncle Guo can give them some pointers. ”
