Chapter 14: Human Favor (3)
Tang Zihao suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, when I asked Shopkeeper Hu yesterday, he said that the medicinal materials sold by Fang Gongzi were all high-grade and precious, and the two 50-year-old high-grade ginseng I received yesterday were from Fang Gongzi's hands. ”
"Yes. Fang Ling nodded.
Tang Zihao asked with interest: "Then I don't know if your owner has a century-old ginseng there, it doesn't matter what the quality is, the key is that there are goods." ”
"Hundred-year-old ginseng?" Fang Ling pondered for a moment, now he already has more than 900 taels of silver in his hand, and 50-year-old ginseng can be sold for three or four hundred taels outside, if he takes it from Lin Mowen, it is estimated that he can get it for 200 taels, so he asked, "I don't know how many adults Tang wants?"
"How many?" Tang Zihao said with great interest, "Could it be that your owner still has a lot of them?"
Fang Ling naturally wouldn't say that he could get it at any time, after all, a hundred years of ginseng is expensive and rare, if he gets a dozen a day, it will be his own price, so he said: "There are only two in the owner's house, but if Lord Tang wants more, he can get it every once in a while, of course, this amount must be limited." ”
"It seems that your owner does have some skills. Lord Tang bowed his head and said, "I naturally only need one ginseng for this century-old ginseng, and you also know that now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to get married, and those of us who are courtiers also have to give gifts, and this century-old ginseng is only a little weighty." ”
"That'...... Wouldn't many officials need this kind of more valuable medicinal herbs?" Fang Ling said in his heart.
"Of course, although there is a lot of gold and silver, old ginseng is hard to find, and hundred-year-old medicinal materials are not something that can be seen everywhere, just look at the pharmacies in the entire imperial city, and these hundred-year-old ginseng is only twenty or thirty a year. And as soon as there is a stock, it will be immediately divided up by those big players. Tang Zihao said, "So for this hundred years of ginseng, I can give 1,100 taels of silver, which is 100 taels more than the market price." ”
Fang Ling smiled slightly: "No problem, I can bring it to Lord Tang tomorrow." However, if Lord Tang is willing to help pull the strings, then the owner's other century-old ginseng will also be marketable. ”
Tang Zihao said happily: "This is no problem, in fact, there are officials who want this kind of medicinal material, if your family can get more before the prince's wedding, I guarantee that there will be no one left." In addition to the hundred-year-old ginseng, what hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, hundred-year-old snow lotus and the like, are all handy goods. ”
Fang Ling was overjoyed, as long as he controlled the quantity sold, first, he would not destroy the market, and secondly, he could raise three thousand taels of silver as soon as possible, so why not? He said: "Then I can't let Lord Tang pull the strings in vain, my external price is 1,100 taels, of which this hundred taels is even the cost to adults." ”
Tang Zihao smiled: "Does Fang Gongzi know what is the most important thing in this officialdom?"
Fang Ling shook his head slightly, it can't be said to be money, right? Although money can be spiritual, it may not be able to run rampant in officialdom.
Tang Zihao said: "The most important thing is two - ability!"
"Ability?" Fang Ling said in surprise.
