Chapter 120: A Brilliant Plan
As soon as Mu Yu's words fell, the shopkeeper knelt on the ground with a "poof", and his body shook to make a sieve, "Spare your life, madam, the grass people are also confused, and if you don't know anything, you will follow them to raise the price, Mrs. read it for the sake of the grass people's ignorance, and beg Mrs. to give the grass people a chance." β
"Shopkeeper, you're too nervous." Mu Yu stood up elegantly, and gestured with both hands to help the shopkeeper, "I'm not threatening you, I just want to remind you, if I really don't want to give you a way to live, why should I visit today, do you say the shopkeeper." β
"Yes, yes, the grass people thank Mrs. for reminding you, and Mrs. Hui shows the villain a clear way." The shopkeeper lowered his head, where did he dare to get up.
Mu Yu chuckled, "Don't kneel, the shopkeeper, get up and talk." You have been kneeling, if you let others see it, you should say that I, the wife of Dali Siqing, bullied you as a small pharmacy shopkeeper. β
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his sideburns, leaned over and stood up, but kept his head down, not daring to look at Mu Yu.
He was originally a timid doctor, and he didn't run the store at all, but the burden of the family was handed over to him, and he had to support the entire Liang family pharmacy, so this Liang family pharmacy was not as good as a day, he was even more anxious, and when he saw the collective price increase of other pharmacy, he was not to be outdone, so he followed and did a mess.
"Don't stand still, it's not comfortable for me to talk while you're standing, let's sit down and talk." The threat has been threatened, and now it's time to get down to business.
Mu Yu pointed to the position next to him, and after the shopkeeper sat down with a weak heart, he said slowly, "The Liang family pharmacy is indeed a shop of conscience, and I also know the shopkeeper's personality, so I can't bear to let the emperor kill everyone with a single shot, and deliberately give the shopkeeper a chance." β
"I wonder what kind of opportunity Madame is talking about?" The shopkeeper asked respectfully.
Mu Yu glanced at Bi Yue, who was standing beside him, and after Bi Yue handed over the list of medicines in his hand to the shopkeeper, he said in a deep voice, "In order to treat this epidemic in the south, a large number of medicinal materials and doctors are needed. β
"This ......," the shopkeeper looked at the items on the list and hesitated, "Madam, the grass people tell you the truth, don't be angry. β
Mu Yu nodded patiently, "The shopkeeper can tell me if there are any difficulties." β
"In fact, the small shop does have the medicinal materials listed on Madame's list, and the small shop can also sell the medicine to Madame at the original price, but as for the doctor that Madame said, the small shop is really powerless!"
Mu Yu was silent for a while, her original purpose was just for medicinal materials, and as for whether she could get a doctor, it was just a matter of asking.
"Madam, look at the faΓ§ade of the small shop, compared to Baishitang, our faΓ§ade is indeed small, and all the doctors and apprentices in this shop are only five people together, if you send someone to the south, the small shop is really too busy."
"I can understand the difficulty of the shopkeeper, after all, the epidemic in the south is quite serious, and it is unknown whether the people who go to see the doctor can come back, and the shopkeeper should have some concerns in his heart." Mu Yu nodded suddenly, looking considerate and generous.
Seeing that Mu Yu didn't want to kill them all, the shopkeeper's face was happy, "Thank you Madame for understanding our difficulties, as for the medicinal materials that Madame needs, I will ask someone to send them to you now." β
After that, he hurriedly called the apprentice, "Quick, according to the medicinal materials on this list, grab the medicine for Mrs. Xie." β
The apprentice nodded in response, looked at the list as he walked, but he didn't take two steps, and then said in embarrassment, "Sir, we don't have so many medicinal materials on this medicine list." β
The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently, and he finally picked up a life, this little apprentice was still grinding, he really thought that his life was big, "Take as much as you can, take as many medicinal materials as you can, and send them all to Mrs. Xie's mansion." β
Mu Yu smiled with satisfaction, looking at the shopkeeper's eyes and expressions, "The shopkeeper is really a good example for the country and the people, and when the epidemic control in the south is effective, I believe that Lord Xie will definitely say a few good words for the Liang family pharmacy in front of the emperor." β
"Thank you, madam, if it weren't for Mrs. showing out a clear path for the villain today, the villain would still be obsessed with the little profit in front of him." The shopkeeper lowered his head with palpitations, where did he dare to ask Lord Xie to give him good words in front of the emperor, as long as his head was still hanging on his neck, he would be satisfied.
Mu Yu slowly took a sip of the clear tea in the cup, and put down the cup elegantly, "Since I bought all the medicinal materials that should be bought, then I won't bother more, as for this silver, I will send someone to bring it to you later, wait for a while." β
She said hello to the shopkeeper with a smile, and when she returned to the house, she asked Xie An to take the silver ticket to get the silver.
"Miss, wouldn't it be better if we just handed over the silver tickets to the shopkeeper, why do you have to ask Xie An to exchange all the silver tickets for silver, how troublesome is that?" Biyue felt that her young lady's actions seemed to be a bit excessive.
The corners of Mu Yu's mouth slanted upward, "How do others know that you have a silver ticket on you?" Only those boxes of white flowers and silver can make others look carefully. β
"Why should others look closely?"
Xie An was also puzzled at first, but after hearing Mu Yu's answer, his eyes widened with sudden realization, "Madam is really witty." β
"What kind of dumb riddle are you guys playing, I don't understand." Biyue frowned, unable to figure out the purpose of her own young lady.
"Xie An, you explain to her." Mu Yu shook his head and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, feeling extremely relaxed.
"The number of medicinal materials that a Liang family pharmacy can provide is limited, even if the Liang family pharmacy sells all the medicinal materials in the store to us, it is not enough to reach all the quantities of adults, and Madame's move is to tell other medicine stores with great fanfare, and the Liang family pharmacy took the initiative to sell the medicinal materials to us at a lower price."
Biyue patted her thigh with an epiphany, "I know, Miss is just to let other pharmacies compete with each other, as long as they know that the Liang family pharmacies have reduced the price, they will definitely follow suit, and then we will be able to buy cheap medicinal materials again." β
"It's kind of smart, you haven't followed me for so long in vain." Mu Yu smiled slyly, and praised Biyue in a good mood.
Xie An exchanged the silver ticket for silver, and sent people to transport it out from the Xie Mansion with great fanfare, and the curious people watched the guards of the Xie family carry a few boxes of heavy things, and naturally they couldn't help but follow to see what the Xie Mansion was carrying, and finally saw that these boxes were transported to the Liang family's pharmacy.
This matter soon reached Bai Shitang's ears, and Bai Shitang's junior apprentice brought the news to the ears of the shopkeeper, and when the shopkeeper heard about it, he immediately reported it to the ears of his boss.
"Master, something is wrong, after the lady of the Xie family personally visited the Liang family pharmacy, the Liang family pharmacy sold the medicinal materials in the pharmacy at a reduced price, and now the other pharmacies in the city are hesitating to follow the price reduction."
In the middle of the hall sat an elder with gray hair, a long beard, a wrinkled face, and a pair of chaotic eyes full of calculation.
"Mrs. Xie?" Sun Xiaoquan squinted and repeated, "This Mrs. Xie is the eldest daughter of the Luanping Marquis Mansion?" β
"Exactly."
"Interesting." A little-known little girl, how can she still have such a ability? Sun Xiaoquan, now the head of the cabinet, is the highest person in charge of the cabinet today.
This Xie Chongning is the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand, and now that the emperor has fallen, he wanted to take this opportunity to rub this Xie Chongning's sharpness, and finally this kid left the capital, he thought he got a chance, he didn't want this kid to marry a good lady, and he could still solve problems for him like this?
"Then do you know what this Mrs. Xie said to the shopkeeper of the Liang family's pharmacy?"
The servant leaned into Sun Xiaoquan's ear and whispered, "The villain specially sent someone to investigate, and they said that this Mrs. Xie threatened the Liang family's pharmacy, saying that he was going to cut off his head because he was going to make a fortune." β
Sun Xiaoquan smiled loudly, nodded and shouted three times in a row, "Okay, good, this little girl is a little interesting, she actually buttoned such a big hat for others, this ordinary people can't bear it." β
"Master, now that Xie Fu has bought medicinal herbs, we ......"
"Don't worry, how many medicinal materials can a Liang family pharmacy have? It is far from enough for the dose that Xie Chongning needs, as long as you control other families and see that they don't sell to Xie Fu, it is not enough evidence. β
For this reason, Bai Shitang summoned the shopkeepers of the major pharmacies in the capital overnight, satirized the actions of the Liang family pharmacies in front of them, and coerced and lured other pharmacies to make them absolutely not allowed to let go.
Bai Shitang's shopkeeper is not very old, but he is full of businessmen, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you must have heard of the Liang family's pharmacy, and I, Bai Shitang, am extremely shameful about what the Liang family's pharmacy has done." β
On the seat, the other shopkeepers whispered, faintly excited, but there were not a few.
"This Liang family pharmacy also agreed to join our alliance at the beginning, but today one of his stores has lowered the price and only cares about making money for himself, where will he put our brothers? If you want to increase the profit of medicinal materials, you still have to listen to my advice, our medicinal materials must not be lowered, as long as we do not let go, we will make more money. β
Some of these shopkeepers are not just obedient people, "What you said is good, you keep saying that as long as we don't reduce the price, we can make more money, but who doesn't know, the entire capital needs to purchase a large number of medicinal materials, only the Xie family, and when the Xie Mansion doesn't need medicinal materials, we can't sell those who have increased the price, and we won't be able to earn a penny at that time." β
"yes, yes."
"Besides, who knows if you Bai Shitang deliberately deceived us, if we keep the medicinal materials high, when the time comes, you will secretly contact the Xie Mansion behind our backs, your own medicinal materials will be sold at a good price, and ours will not be sold, who will we talk to when the time comes?"
