So the question is, how could Li Er, a tough guy, come up with such a huge sum of money?
It's not that there isn't that much money in the treasury, but Li Er has always been mean, unkind, cruel and cruel...
Can he come up with so much money? Impossible.
Of course, thugs like Li Er have always been very sympathetic to the gang of thugs in the Forbidden Army. Maybe Li Er is really willing to spend money... But one million yuan... Such a large amount of money is too much, even for Li Er
It can't be so cruel, right?
After all, Wang Jing and the others are rich people. They don't know how to calculate the amount of medicinal materials they need, so the accountant can help them calculate it. This is something they can easily calculate.
And what are you going to do with such a huge sum of money? Is it possible that the void will appear?
This is what confused Wang Jing and others, the number was too large.
but……
They were still confused. Soon after getting the news, Wang Jing, Pei Ji and the others naturally thought of it in a short time...
That's right, since Li Er wants to purchase medicinal materials...
Purchasing medicinal materials, right? It’s just needed...
Then this...
"If my brothers don't give Li Er the fullest help, wouldn't it appear that we are not fulfilling our duties as ministers at all?"
As soon as Pei Ji said this, a strange and sinister smile appeared on his face.
In the mansion deep in the south of the city, Wang Jing, Li Tiancheng, and Lu Changgeng were gathered together for secret discussions...
This group of people also showed the same smile.
Gloomy and weird!
"Jiejie..."
Everyone sneered and exchanged looks at the same time.
And the meaning of this look is also very simple.
Li Er has such a fast pace, how can the brothers not follow him? Are they still good brothers? This must be wrong.
So this time it’s very simple!
"good……"
Cui Baihe showed an excited and bloodthirsty smile, and then said, "Since Li Er wants to start such a big pace this time, we must follow up!"
"Since he needs medicinal materials, then... we will collect them for him, which can be regarded as being loyal to the country!"
Cui Baihe's family is different from the others. He has secretly changed the various workshops and shops in the family to what Li Sheng did, increasing the scale and refining the division of labor.
Of course, the work is definitely not as refined as Li Sheng's, but the significant increase in income is visible to the naked eye.
but.
Cui Baihe, after all, he is not Xiao Yu, and he, Li Er, Li Sheng and others have not reached any relationship that can be said to be some kind of "exchange".
Cui Baihe, he still belongs to the fifth surname Qiwang and belongs to this circle.
Even if he quietly absorbs Li Sheng's talents to strengthen himself, he will never really join the camp of Li Sheng, Li Er, Wei Zheng, Tiance Mansion...
Once the opportunity arises, the shame of being left behind will inevitably make people even more angry.
Cui Baihe is the person who hates Li Er and Li Sheng the most. Not only are these people hateful, but they are also extremely capable... Do you think they are irritating?
If this kind of person is not severely punished, who knows how much trouble will happen in the future!
When Cui Baihe said this, the others naturally followed suit and couldn't help but burst into laughter on the spot.
That's right...
This time, it’s a God-given opportunity!
And then, Pei Ji said, "Don't forget...hehehe!"
Before Pei Ji could say anything, he couldn't help but laugh strangely, "This medicinal material is not a trick of Li Sheng, this monster. This is a prescription prescribed by Sun Simiao... In other words, everyone..."
"Li Er will definitely not be able to get rid of this matter. He has to spend the money for these medicinal materials whether he wants to spend it or not!"
Pei Ji's meaning is actually very simple, it means...
Li Er's matter this time cannot be settled easily at all. He has already made a wish to the Forbidden Army - and the Forbidden Army are all grassroots soldiers, so the wish must be fulfilled.
If you, Li Er, fail to fulfill your promise, then this will destroy the morale of the military more than any harsh environment!
Under such circumstances, you can imagine how difficult it is. Under normal circumstances, you can't find so many medicinal materials at all...it's like mountains and seas.
In unusual circumstances, Li Er would have to use the power of the court, and the budget would also be huge.
if……
At this time, everyone can stock up on some medicinal materials in advance.
Wouldn't this save Li Er a lot of time in collecting medicinal materials and save the court a lot of energy?
Then……
Then everyone can earn His Majesty's "a little hard-earned money" from it, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?
With this idea together, how could Wang Jing, Pei Ji and others not be excited.
Are you so excited?
In this way, it will be difficult for him, Li Er, not to fall into the trap this time.
The previous transaction was intended to earn him about 200,000 guan - this is a fortune of 100,000 guan!
And this time, hehe...
Medicinal materials are in short supply with extremely high value.
As long as everyone gathers them together, Li Er will not go to heaven where he is?
Then when the time comes, it will cost him 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, or even...
Even 17.8 million Guan is nothing!
As soon as this idea came up, everyone was instantly excited...
The plan to stock up quickly got underway!
In full swing!
And not long after, the price of medicinal materials in the land of China really started to rise...
…
Originally, according to Li Er's opinions, Wei Zheng's ideas, and Li Sheng's ideas, no matter whether the purchase of medicinal materials was done or not, we had to be as careful as possible.
Even if you are sure that you are going to do this, you must still pay attention to the impact.
After all, medicinal materials are people's livelihood commodities... China's plan to open up borders and find resources is certainly a long-term benefit, and it also belongs to people's livelihood in the long run.
However, we must pay attention now, because if the price increase of medicinal materials causes panic, the impact will be very bad, so this matter must be done in a low-key manner.
certainly.
Li Er, Wei Zheng and others also made a lot of efforts to keep a low profile for this seemingly small matter but with a huge impact.
Everyone in the imperial court who is responsible for this matter must remain silent and must not leak any information.
At the same time, things should be done slowly and in a rhythmic manner, so as not to cause large fluctuations in market prices——
It is not that there was no commodity economy or market in ancient times.
Medicinal materials are a proper commodity economy, and there is a market.
But I don’t know why…
Although Li Er ordered efforts to control, soon...
Among the people, rumors quickly began to spread that the prices of medicinal materials had soared!
This situation naturally quickly attracted the attention of Li Er, Wei Zheng and others, because in troubled times, medicine may not be so valuable, and food and cloth are everything, so now...
Although this is not a super prosperous era, it is still a period of peace and stability, and people also attach great importance to seeking medical advice.
Therefore, Li Er naturally also investigated. However, after some investigation, he found that it was not that the news was leaked, but that the price of medicinal materials really began to skyrocket...
