Steward Xie heard the eldest prince's question, and took him and Hua Yu to catch medicine in Annai County, and found that many medicinal materials were not available in this county, and the price of medicinal materials was one percent more expensive than that of Chancheng, and ordinary medicinal materials were ridiculously expensive.

This is still for them to grab medicine, if it is an ordinary farmer, if they go to grab medicine once when they are sick, can they afford to consume it at such an expensive price?

It is no wonder that many folk farmers find barefoot doctors, make some herbs casually, boil medicine and eat, whether it is good or not, it depends on fate.

Xie Yaxin listened to the housekeeper's words, he was silent, if it was for the sake of the people, for her daughter's illness, she could not object no matter what, and she had to defend it responsibly.

Xie Jiawang listened to the housekeeper's words, nodded and said:

"Here, if we open a medical center, for the sake of my cousin's illness and the people, our family will strongly support it, but our industry is in Chancheng.

Opening a medical center here is not such a simple matter, you have to ask Lang Zhong to maintain it. ”

Xie Jia'an was very cheerful: "Housekeeper, pick up my cousin tomorrow, you go to a larger medical hall, it is better to have a yard, if there is no main street, you can be more remote." ”

"This matter is a bit urgent, the housekeeper went to the county lord to ask, is there such a shop? If not, you can build a medical center in the suburbs, and the place should be large. ”

"The eldest prince, the items transported by the old slave?"

"Let's bring it back tomorrow morning! Tonight I'm going to paint the walls, lay the floor, and move in when it's dry. ”

"Cheng, old slave, let's go to the county office."

Steward Xie retreated and rode directly to the county office to see the eldest master.

The county magistrate listened to the report of the yacha and remembered that this butler Xie had made him pick up the credit, and one of the housekeepers asked him to invite Steward Xie in.

The county magistrate was very polite, and did not sit in his chair, but stood at the door to greet him.

"Steward Xie, we meet again, what's the matter?"

"Master, the old man came to see you, please take care of the matter, I wonder if the old man will take care of the old man?"

Steward Xie clenched his fists and smiled politely on his face.

"Oh, Steward Xie, please take a seat."

The county lord waved his hand to let people serve tea.

A maid brought them two cups of tea.

The county lord took a sip of tea and said, "Steward Xie has something to say." ”

Steward Xie also took a sip of tea and put the tea cup on the table.

"County lord, our eldest son Xie and second prince want to open a medical hall compatible pharmacy in the county seat, I don't know where the eldest lord knows where there is a bigger house?"

The county lord thought about it for a while, but he really didn't expect that there was such a house, and the better houses were rented by others.

He beckoned people to find the master, and then brought the subordinate county Cheng who was in charge of land management.

A quarter of an hour later, the master who managed the clerical work and the county man came to the yamen, sat down separately, and listened to the words of the county master.

The master in charge of the clerical work said: "In the most prosperous street in the county, all the good shops have been sold, and no one says that they are sold. ”

The county also nodded and said, "The main street and the remote streets, the larger shops have been sold, and the shops they rented have not expired. ”

The eldest lord said to Steward Xie: "Steward Xie, you have heard it, it's not that the official doesn't help!" ”

Steward Xie listened to the words of the eldest prince and the second son, and had already guessed that there was no store for sale, so he didn't mind saying at this time:

"My lord, our eldest son and second son said that if there is no good one, the store will be sold, and I want to build a larger house in the suburbs to be used as a medical hall and pharmacy."

The eldest lord nodded and said, "The suburbs are feasible, and this county will do it." ”

The county nodded and said, "I wonder if Steward Xie has any intentions?" Where to buy land in the southeast, northwest, southeast and northwest suburbs of the county? ”

Steward Xie took a turn in the county seat, he knew that Annai County was actually not too remote, leading to the suburbs from Pingxian to Chancheng, and there was also a road from the county to Chancheng.

There is also a road to Anzhou County and all the way to Wuzhou.

His family came to Annai County from this road from Ping County this time.

"County lord, can we have land for sale in the suburbs between Ping County and Annai County from the county?"

The county thought for a moment and said, "Those are all high-quality paddy fields, and some rich people have bought them, and it seems that there are three rich people's fields here." ”

"My lord, can you give me some pointers?"

"There is the land of the Ji family, the land of the Li family, and the land of the Liang family."

Steward Xie listened and asked, "I don't know which one this Ji family is?" Which one is the Liang family? He chose to ignore the Li family. ”

The county lord said with a smile at this time: "Ji family, Steward Xie knows, it is the Ji family of Steward Ji who came from Chancheng with you yesterday, and you know the Liang family even more, the in-laws of the Xie family." ”

"Oh, the Ji family's high-grade paddy fields, they don't have a mountain villa?"

Steward Xie automatically ignored the Liang family and didn't want to deal with the people of the Liang family.

He still holds a grudge that the Liang family has treated his eldest lady like this all these years.

"They have mountain villas, and they also grow tea, and I heard that tea is tribute."

"Oh, there is tribute to the tea, in the place governed by the eldest lord, the eldest lord is promoted to become rich, it is hopeful!"

"Hehe, we don't hope to get rich, we are serving the people, the lord is thinking, can there be anything more to pay tribute? For example, our specialty lychee here is big, sweet and small. ”

"Haha, I have to ask Master Ji about this, I believe in this business, he has experience, and our Xie family is far behind."

Steward Xie said modestly.

"Hey, we still don't know Steward Xie, the ability of the eldest master of the Xie family, their gold and silver, the silk and brocade over there in Jinzhou, that's a must, I heard that it is also tribute?"

The county magistrate actually has a backstage, otherwise he came to this remote county, how could he have such a smooth official road, this is only a few years of decentralization, the assessment is full, and he can be promoted again when he returns to Beijing.

"Haha, there are so many rich people in the Great Xia Dynasty, let's not brag about it, can you let the eldest master send someone to meet the old man to meet Steward Ji together."

"Oh, Steward Ji, it seems that I went to find his eldest son in the morning, but I don't know if I have returned to the inn at this time?"

"Oh, it's so unfortunate, then the old man will come back another day! When I see Steward Ji, I have to trouble the adults to help with the paperwork. ”

"This is easy, Steward Xie, can you go to the place first, where to buy land, and then talk to Steward Ji?"

Steward Xie nodded, rode a horse with the county Cheng, went to the suburbs, and inspected the terrain on the spot.

In the evening, Steward Xie invited the county man to the restaurant for dinner, and asked him to work today.

The county Cheng readily agreed to let people invite the eldest man to the restaurant for dinner.

The county lord was returning to the backyard at this time, and his wife was asking the maid to set up dinner.

Hearing that someone reported to her lord that she was going out to eat again, she pouted and said:

"Master, can our family have a meal together? It's almost the Spring Festival, why are you getting busier and busier? ”

"Haha, ma'am, you don't know? Now it is a special situation, there are two rich people in the county, who are stronger than our backstage, and they invite the master to dinner, which is also to give the lord face. ”

"What rich man is so powerful? It's bigger than the backstage of Grandpa's house? ”

The county lord's wife is the concubine of a famous family in Kyoto in the Great Xia Dynasty, and marrying the county lord also sees that he has a future.
