Chapter 189: Airborne into the Chamber of Commerce
Bai Junzhuo looked at the wooden box and asked, "What is that?" ”
Yin Xun picked up the wooden box and opened it, "This is also the one that came in with the rice bag from the Tianfang side, and it is called Wuxiang. ”
As soon as he opened the box, a strong bitter smell flew out, Bai Junzhuo looked at the black fragrance curiously, and saw a brown thing lying in the box, which looked a bit like chocolate. Peeled a piece of it under his nose with his finger and sniffed it, and then opened it to look at it, Bai Junzhuo's eyes widened suddenly, and he said to Yin Xun in horror: "This is a crow. Slice! ”
Yin Xun was puzzled: "What? ”
Bai Junzhuo studied modern history for a semester and knew that British merchants smuggled crows in the waters of Guangdong during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. For more than 20 years, many people have become addicted to drugs and bankrupt. Is it possible that this era will also produce that history in advance?
Bai Junzhuo said seriously: "The poppy can be introduced, but this black incense must not be introduced. ”
Yin Xun was still confused, but he didn't ask much, thought for a while and then nodded: "Okay, it's all up to you." ”
On the contrary, Bai Jun was stunned for a moment and asked him, "Don't you wonder why I am so afraid of this black incense?" ”
Yin Xun looked at her with a smile and said, "I don't understand what you said, but after so long, I know that what you say is always right." So these little things, you call the shots. ”
Bai Junzhuo's heart warmed, and he said coquettishly: "If you don't understand, still believe me, are you really afraid that I will lie to you?" ”
Yin Xun's eyes were gentle, and he nodded her nose and said, "I'm really curious, what kind of person is Doctor Bai who can raise a daughter like you." You have lived in the boudoir for a long time, and you should not be familiar with the world, but you are so smart and aware of the overall situation. Are you really a saint and can't go down to earth? ”
Bai Junzhuo smiled slightly, and said: "I am not a saint descending to earth, but I do come from another place, and you may not understand it, and even if you do, you may not believe it." ”
Yin Xun's dark eyes gathered a trace of curiosity, looked at her and said, "Tell me, as long as I understand, I will believe it." ”
Bai Junzhuo was speechless for a while, can you tell him these things that can be explained by non-science? He, will he think she's a fool after hearing it?
Yin Xun didn't urge her, just watched her quietly.
She thought about it and said, "This story is too long, and it can't be explained clearly in a while. ”
"It's okay," he said, holding her by the hand, "Anyway, we have a lifetime, talk a little bit every day, and one day I will finish your story." Now, tell me who you really are and where you came from. ”
Bai Jun was stunned, looked up and asked, "What do you mean by asking?" You know I'm not ......"
"When I first saw you, Doctor Bai had just died, but you didn't show any sadness, so I suspected that you weren't the real Bai Junzhuo. But when your relatives returned, they didn't recognize you, and my doubts were dispelled. When I heard you say such a thing just now, I know that you are really not Bai Junzhuo. Yin Xun couldn't see any emotion on his face, and asked seriously, "Tell me who you are?" Where is the real Bai Junzhuo? ”
Bai Junzhuo was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "That's right, Bai Junzhuo, who has been raised in the Bai family for more than ten years, died in the fire that her aunt set up. And in a different plane, I also died for some reason. Then, my person, maybe my soul, or just my thoughts and memories, inexplicably came to Bai Junzhuo here. You, do you understand? ”
Yin Xun shook his head silently: "I don't understand." ”
Bai Junzhuo's heart was uncomfortable layer by layer, and he didn't know if it was pregnancy syndrome, so he turned his eyes red and asked him, "Then don't you love me anymore?" ”
Yin Xun couldn't help laughing, rubbed her head and said, "Since you were the first person I met, and you have been with me since then, then the person I love is also you." It doesn't matter if you are Bai Junzhuo or not, as long as the person under this shell is still you. ”
Bai Junzhuo threw himself into Yin Xun's arms with a "wow", and tears flowed down his eyes.
Yin Xun was very helpless, patted her back gently, and after she calmed down, she comforted softly: "What is there to cry about, I don't want you if you cry again." ”
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly wiped his tears and choked up: "I thought you wouldn't be able to say love words, but I didn't expect to say it so well, I was so moved." ”
Yin Xun was speechless, rubbed her head and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, you will go to the Chamber of Commerce with me tomorrow, and rest early." ”
Bai Junzhuo nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”
*
Early the next morning, after making preparations, Bai Junzhuo and Yin Xun went to the merchant.
Bai Junzhuo seems to have heard from a previous history teacher that since ancient times, China has valued agriculture over commerce, and merchants have no status. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that organizations such as chambers of commerce sprouted. However, this dynasty seems to have attached considerable importance to commerce.
The chamber of commerce of Chang'an is built under the twin towers of Ganye Temple, the building is three floors high, covers an area of 300 acres, pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and painted columns, and is more exquisite than the mansion of the sergeant doctor. Among them, the merchants are dressed nobly and gorgeously, and they are all people with heads and faces.
The two went directly to the third floor, and as soon as Yin Xun arrived, everyone stopped talking and said loudly: "See the Nine Princes and Nine Princesses." ”
Yin Xun waved his hand lightly and said to everyone: "Today, this king came over, and he is still discussing the matter of rice bags and black incense with everyone. ”
As soon as his words fell, someone came behind him: "Qiqi Nine Princes, the grass people have already negotiated the price with the merchants over there in Tianfang yesterday, the rice bag is one catty and one tael of silver, and the black incense is one catty and one tael of gold. ”
Bai Junzhuo frowned and asked, "You promised someone?" ”
The man nodded, "It took a lot of effort for the grass people to bring the price down. ”
"Do you know what this black incense does?"
The man said: "Black incense can make people forget their troubles and float like immortals." ”
"And do you know what's wrong with it?"
When Bai Junzhuo asked this, everyone looked dazed, and asked each other, but no one knew.
Bai Junzhuo looked at Yin Xun again and said, "Lord Wang, are all the representatives of the pharmacists in the various state capitals of the Li Kingdom?" ”
Yin Xun nodded: "Exactly." ”
Bai Junzhuo frowned, and said sternly: "Why is the representative of the pharmaceutical company completely ignorant of medical skills?" ”
When the people below heard Bai Junzhuo say this, they immediately exploded. Someone immediately retorted: "The Ninth Princess was surprised by this, since we can be the representatives of pharmaceutical companies, and our families have been selling medicines for generations, how can we not know medical skills?" ”
"Are you really proficient in medicine?" Bai Junzhuo sneered, "Do you know why I came here today? How do I know how powerful this rice bag and black incense are? Because there are maids in the Nine Kings Mansion who use this rice bag, they are already crazy! ”
The pharmacists looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
Bai Junzhuo said to Yin Xun with a serious expression: "Lord Wang, selling medicine is different from selling cloth and iron, and the slightest carelessness will kill the people. Therefore, the representative of this pharmaceutical company, no matter what, should also change to some people who are proficient in pharmacology. ”
Yin Xun nodded lightly: "You're right." ”
As soon as these words came out, some people below were unhappy, and hurriedly said: "The prince can't help it, the key is the word 'business'." Even if the representatives of our pharmaceutical companies around the world are not as proficient in pharmacology as others, we still have great merit in doing business, how can we all be replaced because of the princess's words? ”
Yin Xun clasped his hands around his chest and said lightly: "It also makes sense." ”
"Then in order to make money, you have to buy black incense from the merchants of the heavens?" Bai Junzhuo turned his head with a sneer, pointed to the big plaque behind him and said, "Are you worthy of the eight big characters of 'there is a way to get money and win the trust of the people'?" ”
Everyone was so blocked by her that they couldn't speak, Yin Xun looked calm, and summed it up loudly: "The princess is right. Just replacing everyone at once will inevitably affect the normal operation of medicinal materials. But regardless of whether the medicinal herbs are harmful or not, you buy them and sell them to the people of the Li Kingdom, which is a great injustice that really chills the king's heart. It is necessary to have someone who is proficient in pharmacology. ”
After speaking, he looked at Bai Junzhuo and said with a smile: "Princess, I may have to work hard for you." ”
Bai Junzhuo saw a hint of narrowness in his eyes, and also smiled at him. Look at this tacit understanding, on the way here, she didn't discuss anything with Yin Xun about how to enter the Chamber of Commerce, and how to make the people of the Chamber of Commerce unable to talk nonsense. After arriving here, as soon as she opened her mouth, her master Yin knew how to take it.
Everyone naturally had nothing to say, and they had to be grateful to Yin Xun.
Bai Junzhuo officially took over the Chamber of Commerce, and the first order was to prohibit everyone from buying and selling black incense, and rice bags should not be sold more, if there is a patient who wants to buy rice bags, she must obtain her consent.
Someone asked, "If we don't sell black incense, what if the merchants on the other side of the heavens don't sell it themselves without us?" ”
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment, then turned back to Yin Xun and said, "This is indeed a problem, if you want to solve it, you must let Your Majesty also know about this matter and order a ban." ”
Yin Xun nodded: "I will enter the palace to discuss with the imperial brother later." ”
"Well," Bai Junzhuo said seriously: "This medicine must be strictly controlled, the merchants of Tianfang want to sell it to other countries, and they must abide by the rules of Li on the territory of Li State, if they still dare to sell it, they will be put in prison and severely punished." ”
The merchants sighed at Bai Junzhuo's iron-fisted methods, but they all had nothing to say.
This matter was settled first, and after it was over, Yin Xun went to the palace first, and Bai Junzhuo wanted to know more about the Chamber of Commerce, so he stayed.
There is a library on the first floor of the Chamber of Commerce, which records the origin of the Chamber of Commerce and the list of members of each Chamber of Commerce, not only in the operation of medicinal materials, but also in others.
Bai Junzhuo found a secluded corner and flipped through the list of the members of this chamber of commerce, and was looking at it, and vaguely heard someone on the opposite side of the bookshelf mentioning the word "Bai Gonglu".
Bai Junzhuo's heart was excited, Bai Gonglu, isn't that the father of the original owner who died horizontally?
So she looked a little closer and listened to what the man was saying.
“…… Don't you know? The princess is Bai Gonglu's daughter. ”
"Of course I know that the princess treats disasters and saves people, and uses medicine like a god, she really has the style of the white god doctor back then!"
"But there's one thing you don't know."
"What's the matter?"
