Chapter 51: The Slave Trade
That night, everyone sat down at a table to eat.
"Guys, I have a bold idea."
Halfway through the meal, An Xiaomo suddenly stood up.
Everyone looked up at her in unison.
"I think with our current ability and situation, we can already open a branch, of course, this is just my personal idea, I put it forward today, just to discuss it with everyone, the final decision is still on Uncle Gu, I just make a suggestion, of course, if you want to build a new store, I will pay half of the money."
Doctor is a lucrative profession, and she has saved a lot of money during this time, judging from the market in this town, if you want to build a new pharmacy, you can still do it.
Of course, the final decision is still on Uncle Gu.
"That's a good idea."
Gu Yuanfu touched the beard on his chin and nodded again and again, and the others also agreed, especially Anfen, as long as it was a suggestion made by his daughter-in-law, it was the best suggestion.
"My daughter-in-law is so smart, this advice is so good."
Anfen actively cheered on the sidelines,
"Jishitang is too small after all, if it is used for both selling medicine and seeing a doctor, it is too crowded, so it is better to separate."
Gu Yuanfu was thoughtful.
"Otherwise, just follow what Xiao Mo said, open another pharmacy, no, it's better to open a medical hall, when the time comes, Xiao Mo and Qingfeng will be in the medical hall, a few of us, continue to stay in Jishitang, what do you think."
The rest of the heat is not a problem, but the problem of safety is big.
"Nope."
As soon as Gu Yuanfu's words fell, An Fen immediately stood up.
"I want to stay with my daughter-in-law, and I will be there wherever my daughter-in-law is."
As he spoke, he still looked at Gu Qingfeng with hostility.
This person has always been standing with his daughter-in-law recently, closer than him and his daughter-in-law, and he must not let his daughter-in-law be alone with him. His intuition told him that this was dangerous, and maybe when he didn't know it, his daughter-in-law wouldn't be his.
"Anfen, you give me a little quiet, there is no place for you to speak here."
This is a very important matter to discuss, not a time to join in the fun.
"Daughter-in-law ......"
An Fen looked at An Xiaomo aggrievedly, his daughter-in-law didn't like him at all, and even said that there was no place for him to speak here.
"Anfen's suggestion is okay, there are too many people to see a doctor, just relying on three people, it is estimated that it will be too busy at that time, so be it, let Anfen also go over."
After these times of getting along, Gu Yuanfu can also see that An Fen is very tight with An Xiaomo's baby, if he is not allowed to be with her, something may happen at that time.
"Uncle Gu, you don't have to take care of his feelings, he is just joking, with a child's mentality, Jishitang can't be short of people, let him stay in Jishitang, no matter what, he can help a little."
An Xiaomo didn't know An Fen's little bit of caution, didn't he just want to stay with her, this was not her narcissism, his intentions were really too obvious, if he had enough manpower, he could do it, but now that he was completely understaffed, put An Fen there with her, and Ji Shitang would definitely not be able to keep busy at that time.
"Daughter-in-law, I just want to help you, the three of you are there, and one of them is still a little child, I'm afraid you're tired."
Anfen's sentence is true, the daughter-in-law has been busy treating people these days, he is about to die of distress, and from time to time he calls his daughter-in-law Xixiu, if he is not by his daughter-in-law's side, no one tells his daughter-in-law to rest, what if the daughter-in-law is tired.
"I think Anfen is right, Xiao Mo, you are still young, don't take a lot of things on yourself, don't be too tired yourself, just let Anfen follow you, Jishitang is fine, there are enough people."
After An Fen said this, Gu Yuanfu remembered that Xiao Mo was just a child, and because she was too smart, too powerful, and her means of doing things were very mature, he had always ignored the problem that she was just a fifteen-year-old girl.
Now that I think about it, she shouldn't have taken on so much.
I think that at the beginning, when the breeze was so big, she hadn't done these things, not to mention, she was still a girl.
"Uncle Gu, I'm fine, I'm very healthy, don't listen to Anfen's nonsense, you see, I've been around for so long, and I'm not sick."
Speaking of this matter, An Xiaomo also felt strange, this body looked thin and weak, and she looked weak, but since she lived in this body, she had never seen this body sick.
This body is quite healthy, except that it is a little too thin.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm not talking nonsense, you just need someone to take care of you."
An Fen said stubbornly.
"Okay, Xiao Mo, you just listen to your Uncle Gu and me, no matter what, you can't treat your body badly, you just let An Fen follow you, as for Jishitang, if you are really too busy at that time, you can find someone to help you at that time."
Jishitang also hired people before, but because of the threat of the Salvation Pavilion later, and its own business plummeted, they fired all the helpers, and with their current ability, it is not a problem to hire a helper.
"That'...... All right. ”
Since Uncle Gu has already said so, she is not good at saying anything about refusal, this is also everyone's heart, if she refuses, she will be disappointed.
Half a month later, An Xiaomo finally had his first medical hall in this world.
The medical hall is not very large, only half the size of Jishitang, the geographical location is a bit remote, but it is very close to Jishitang.
The name of the medical hall is also named Jishitang, which is also a marketing method, so that every time everyone comes to see the doctor, they can see the three big characters of Jishitang, and over time, when they want to buy medicine, they will naturally think of Jishitang first.
On the first day of the opening of Jishitang, there were many people who saw a doctor, because of the fame accumulated in Jishitang before, it was very easy for An Xiaomo's medical hall to open.
On the other hand, Ji Shitang's voice is getting better and better, at the beginning, with a few of them, they can still deal with it, but the more they come to grab medicine, more and more people come to them to grab medicine, and everyone is a little bit out of their hearts.
On this day, after some discussion, everyone finally decided to recruit helpers.
There is an institution in this world that is similar to the world where An Xiaomo used to be, that is, the Helper Union, which is equivalent to an intermediary.
Just give you a little money and post a job post, write your requirements, and someone will come to you and ask for a job.
After the helper union had gone through all the formalities, everyone left.
An Xiaomo originally thought that their job was high-paying and very simple, and there should be a bunch of people applying for it soon, but wait, wait, wait, it's been almost a month, and still no one has come, which is a little weird.
On this day, An Xiaomo finally couldn't hold it back, and took An Fen and Guang Youcai, and the three of them went to the mercenary union together.
"Hello, we are from Jishitang, not long ago, we Jishitang released a recruitment message from you, and no one has come to us until now, I want to know what's going on."
An Xiaomo asked very politely at the ordinary-looking man in front of him.
The mercenary union is a national organization, many years ago, a very business-minded person put forward, now not only in the country, but even in other countries, there is development, here is just a very small distribution, the head of the mercenary union is rich and rivals the country, but also recruited a lot of martial arts strong people, even the royal people dare not easily provoke, she is a small commoner, let alone a small commoner.
"Wait a minute, I'll look into it for you."
One of the important reasons why the helper union is so trusted by everyone is that its information system handles very well, many things are recorded, and there are very few such things that are deceived.
After a while, the man pulled out a list.
The man glanced at the list in his hand, and then looked up at An Xiaomo, his eyes were a little strange, An Xiaomo knew when he saw it, and it was estimated that something was wrong.
Sure enough, after the man watched it several times, he said it to her seriously.
"Hello, Miss, it's like this, there is indeed a problem with the matter of Jishitang, but according to the request of another guest, I can't reveal too many things, please understand."
After all, it is a private commercial organization, and the biggest purpose of the helper union is to do business, so as long as it is not a matter of injustice, they all take who has the most money and who has the final say.
An Xiaomo had seen many disgusting things in the previous world, so he could understand their behavior.
"Then can you tell us who is targeting us?"
To be honest, she already has a general object in her psyche, and asking this question now is just to confirm her guess.
"This, it's really inconvenient, but I can tell you that it has something to do with the royal family."
The man looked at the little girl in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry, at a young age, he provoked the royal family, alas.
Back to Jishitang, An Xiaomo gave a general explanation of the situation.
Unexpectedly, the Salvation Hall had already pulled the royal family over.
Although I have long known that the Salvation Hall has a relationship with the royal family, I did not expect that the royal family would intervene in this matter.
"I'm afraid it's hard for us to find helpers through the helper unions right now."
Every social world, every society, has its underlying rules, and no one will break them, and no one will dare to violate them.
The mercenary union is one of the potential rules of this world, and everyone can actually find a mercenary by self-recruitment, but no one does that, because the power of the mercenary union is too strong, and no one dares to do it.
"Actually, there's another way."
Gu Yuanfu lowered his head and muttered for a while, and suddenly said.
An Xiaomo's eyes lit up, looking at him, if there was a way, it would be better.
"We can buy slaves, it's just ...... in terms of cost"
"Slave?!"
An Xiaomo was shocked, he didn't expect that there were slaves in this world.
"Oh, Xiao Mo, you may not know, you can actually buy slaves here, there is a special slave trading house, where you can buy slaves."
It's the same as a big family buying a girl and a slave, they can also buy a slave.
