There is a teahouse near the yamen of Yinxian County, which is a place for some errand servants to rest, and most of them will come here to sit here every morning, and see what is going on in the county, and wait for the dispatch at any time; There is an elegant room on the second floor of the tea shop, and a voice of anger has been heard from it: "It's not that I've already said it, there's nothing else, don't come to the government to find the official." Are you confused? What do you have to say, can't you wait until the old man is on duty? ”

The person who spoke was a thin man in his forties, because he was facing the window and looking at the Yinxian County Government across the street, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Zhao Gao stood behind him with a hunched body, not daring to come out.

"Anyway, what the hell is going on?"

Zhao Gao breathed a long sigh of relief and snorted for a moment: "Borentang's business has plummeted, and Sun Qi of Tongji Medicine Hall has recognized the nephew of the head of the case, and now it is booming, Hainingwei's matter, adults must have heard of it, since that incident, many people in Ningbo City regard him as a miracle doctor, and there is an endless stream of people who ask for treatment, and Borentang is now a crowd of people......

"Oh, you're talking about that Ye Chunqiu? Person...... The old man knows a little bit about it, he is the new head of the case, Xiao Sanyuan, who has been in the limelight recently, and the future is terrifying. ”

Zhao Gao frowned and said: "But right now, Borentang is a little unsustainable, and now Ye Chunqiu came to pay off the previous account, Tongjitang ......"

"That's all? Since they are thriving, isn't it natural for them to pay off their arrears at the end of the month? Didn't you even expect this? The person with his back to Zhao Gao was a little annoyed in his words.

Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "No, no, the villain doesn't mean this, the villain means that after Ye Chunqiu paid off the account, he also asked the villain to pass on a sentence to the adult, saying that from now on, Tongjitang and Borentang will not share the sky, and also said that the adult will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Zhao Gao's voice fell, I thought that the master of the book would be annoyed and angry at this time, but who expected that the elegant room would suddenly be quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.

After a long time, the master book exhaled and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, yes, at a young age, quite ambitious, then try it, who killed the deer, it is not yet known, if it is someone else, dare to say such a thing, this official has already taught his family to be ruined, but this person ...... After all, he has been in the limelight recently, and he has a good reputation, he is not in a hurry, governing a big country is still like cooking a small fresh, not to mention you and me, everything has to be planned and then moved, these days, you have been staring at that Tongjitang, that person's name is Ye Chunqiu, right, Ye Chunqiu, there is something interesting......"

"Yes, yes......" Although the tone of the master bookkeeper was quite flat, Zhao Gao still felt that there was a sense of anger behind the calm tone of the master bookkeeper, and he hurriedly said: "The villain must be keeping an eye on something, and if there is any news, tell the lord at any time." ”

The master bookkeeper sat down, his eyes still fell on the yamen on the opposite street, and he said slowly: "It's not far from the time of winter, but the Bing Jing of the various ministries and halls in Nanjing can't be delayed, and Tongjitang ......" He sneered, and the elegant room fell into silence again.

………………

Hang and beat Borentang.

When he said this, Ye Chunqiu had no possibility of repentance.

Of course, this matter has to be discussed with his uncle.

Sun Qi didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but this time, although he was a little confused, he didn't show the same panic as last time, but calmed down: "Spring and Autumn, I have heard that Borentang and the county master book are not clear, I didn't expect Bo Rentang to be his industry, the so-called people do not fight with the officials, although the master book is a minor official, but it is not a casual offense." Spring and autumn should be prepared. ”

Ye Chunqiu saw farther than him: "Uncle, the master has long had the intention of annexing Tongjitang, and now that Tongjitang is famous and the oil and water are more abundant, will he let it go easily?" Since you still have to face him sooner or later, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to turn passive into active. I've already thought about it, we might as well raise a sum of money, put the shop next door down, expand Tongjitang first, now Tongjitang's business is getting better and better, in the future we can hire more doctors and apprentices, anyway, the prescription is in our hands, when the time comes, there will only be more and more people who come here to see a doctor, since they have turned their faces, then simply let Borentang have no way out, and see if he can hold on. ”

Ye Chunqiu's idea is very bold, speaking of which, Tongjitang only covers an area of 100 square meters, and it is okay as a medical hall to make a living, but now it is famous, there are so many people who see a doctor, whether it is a doctor or an apprentice, there are some shortcomings, Sun Qi and Ye Chunqiu alone, how can they be busy, but once they want to hire more people, then the store will be small, since they want to make the business bigger, the storefront, manpower, and the storage of medicinal materials must be increased, and the face of Borentang next door is not small, and there are more than a dozen doctors and men, It covers an area of more than 300 square meters, but the idea of Borentang can't be played for the time being, Ye Chunqiu is looking at a shop on the other side of Tongjitang, which was originally a rice shop, but the business is not good, there are three before and after, covering a large area, there are three or four hundred square meters in front, there is a large warehouse for storing grains in the back, and a small courtyard, adding up to nearly 1,000 square meters, the scale is very large, if this rice shop can be bought to expand the Tongji Medicine Hall, then the scale of the Tongji Medicine Hall will be very large, the front can be converted into a consultation hall, and the back can store medicinal herbs, You can also modify some of the doctors' resting places, and prepare a few warehouses for stockpiling medicinal materials.

Tongjitang's reputation is there, don't worry about no one coming to the door, the only thing missing is the scale, with the scale, there will only be more and more people to see a doctor, and now because the scale is too small, many people can't look down on the doctor, so they simply ask in the Borentang next door, which is undoubtedly caused by the loss of patients, if the store is expanded, not only Tongjitang's business can flourish, but also can snatch the last bit of Borentang's patient resources away, so that they have no way out.

Sun Qi listened, but also moved, this month's business, he is clear, the business is very hot, he has no doubt that if the shop is expanded, Tongjitang's income will be doubled, this pharmacy is the most word-of-mouth, now in the whole Ningbo, who else is the pharmacy with the best reputation besides Tongjitang?

It's just that he was embarrassed again: "Having said that, although the Zhou Dongjia of Nami Xing wants to sell the shop, the price is not expensive, this shop occupies a lot of land, and it can't be done without 1,200 taels of silver, but 1,200 taels of silver, this ......."
