When Zhang Mian confirmed that what Li Qi was holding was an edict, his heart skipped a beat.
In the southwest, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. No official from the capital has been here for many years. Why would a official from the capital appear now?
However, he was still very wary of Zhang Min, the official in the capital. After all, he was an official in the capital. If he went back and said a few words to Long Live Lord, he would not know.
Thinking of this, Zhang Min dared to ask for help. He quickly stood up and came to Li Qi with a smile on his face: "I have met Mr. Li before."
Li Qi couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. Isn't this guy just learning to change his face? This role change is too fast.
"Master Zhang, you are too polite. Your official position is higher than mine, how can you salute me?" Li Qi said with a smile.
"How dare you, how dare you." Zhang Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Master Li is here under orders, just ask if you have any orders."
"I don't have any instructions, but...I still say the same thing, Mr. Zhang wants the formula of cowpox, I'm sorry I can't agree to it," Li Qi said.
Zhang Min said with a smile on his face: "Since the formula is Master Li's ancestral method, naturally it cannot be leaked."
As he spoke, Zhang Min came over and whispered: "Master Li, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Damn it, what does this guy want to do?
Thinking about it, Li Qi nodded and said, "Master Zhang will arrange everything."
"Master Li, if you don't mind the trouble, come and get together at your house." Zhang Min said with a smile.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Master Zhang will arrange everything." Li Qi said.
When watching Li Qi, Zhang Ming and their entourage leave the villa, Zong Yinghao's face was a little uncertain.
He never expected that Li Qi was actually an official of the imperial court.
And judging from Zhang Mian's attitude towards him, it is obvious that Li Qi's status in the court should not be low.
As a high official at such a young age, if his daughter marries him...
Thinking of this, Zong Yinghao felt regretful.
This nephew Xiao Xian is really, why didn't you tell me about such an important thing in advance?
If he had known that Li Qi was an official of the imperial court, he would not have been able to speak so harshly before.
Xiao Jijia couldn't be blamed for this, because he didn't know that after the last separation, Li Qi went to Kyoto and became an official, and even became a celebrity around the prince.
After arriving at the Prefect's Mansion, Li Qi found that although the place was not as big as the West Dian Villa, the decoration was not bad at all.
Even the East Palace is not even comparable to this.
"Master Zhang is really a person who knows how to live." Li Qi looked around and said, "I didn't expect that in this place where plague is everywhere, there is such a comfortable place."
Zhang Min smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Li. I don't have any special hobbies. I just like to make the place where I live better."
"It seems that Mr. Zhang and I are of the same mind." Li Qi said, "If Mr. Zhang has time to go to Beijing in the future, he will definitely come to my house."
"It's easy to talk about. When I go to Beijing in the future, I will definitely pay a visit to Mr. Li's house."
Soon the two came to the main hall, and Zhang Min asked someone to serve tea.
The two of them chatted about various things while drinking tea. Li Qi was not sure what Zhang Mo wanted to do when he called him over, but since he didn't speak, he couldn't ask more questions.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Ming suggested taking Li Qi to visit his study.
After arriving at the study, Zhang Meng closed the door mysteriously, and then took out an emerald eagle from the cabinet.
Li Qi has been exposed to a lot of jewelry in the past few years, and he has some understanding of the various colors of jadeite.
The jade eagle that Zhang Min took out was worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to have such a treasure. Today is an eye-opener for me." Li Qi said pretending to be surprised.
Zhang Min smiled and said, "Does Mr. Li like this eagle?"
"Of course I do." Li Qi said subconsciously.
"Since Mr. Li likes it, I will give this eagle as my meeting gift to Mr. Li."
Li Qi was stunned: "How can this be done?"
"It's rare for Mr. Li to come to the Southwest, and he is so speculative with me. It's disrespectful to be so petty."
Grandma, you give me such a big gift when you meet me. What kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd?
Should I accept it or not?
If I accept it, I won't be able to refuse if he makes a request next, but if I don't accept it, it won't be in line with my style.
Who cares, this is all on my lips, I would be sorry for my conscience if I didn’t.
"Since Mr. Zhang said so, I won't be polite." Li Qi said with a smile.
Zhang Mingdao: "What are you saying, Mr. Li? We are all colleagues. What's so polite about this?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "That's what Mr. Zhang said."
Just as he was playing with the jade eagle in his hand, Zhang Mian said: "Master Li, I actually called you here because I am a brother. I have a business deal that I want to discuss with Master Li."
"Business?" Li Qi said, "I like doing business the most. I wonder if Brother Zhang has something good to do to take care of me?"
Hearing Li Qi call him eldest brother, Zhang Min felt happy and thought: It is said that officials in the capital are more greedy than local officials, and it is true.
"It's like this. Mr. Li doesn't know something. The plague has caused panic in our area. Since Mr. Li has medicine to prevent the plague, why not use it to make a fortune?"
Hearing this, Li Qi understood.
It turns out this guy is waiting here!
This coincides with my own thoughts.
Li Qi had originally thought about making a lot of money from cowpox, but he hadn't figured out how to do it yet.
After all, if you want to accomplish this, you must have the cooperation of local people.
At first, he thought about conspiring with Zong Yinghao, but he didn't expect that someone would come to his door now.
"Selling medicine is a good business, but..." Li Qi glanced at Zhang Mian pretending to be thoughtful.
"Just what?" Zhang Ming asked anxiously.
"But how should the profits be distributed?" Li Qi smiled and said, "Brother Zhang doesn't know something. Although I am an official in Beijing, I don't have much money, and everything in Kyoto costs money...
"
"It turns out that this is what brothers are worried about. Don't worry about this. We have four or six points."
"Four six?" Li Qi raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Min was stunned, rolled his eyes and said: "Three-seven! I will take 30%, and the rest will belong to you, brother."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Twenty-eight, I will take 80%, and the remaining 20% will be up to you."
Grandma’s, thirty-seven? I’ll give you twenty-eight, which is fine, but you still want thirty-seven?
Why don't you get a three-part hairstyle?
Zhang Min was startled, looking at Li Qi's smiling face, he couldn't help cursing in his heart: This guy is so young, but he is so greedy! He is not afraid of dying! But now he is the only one who has the medicine. If this business sits down, even if he only takes
At 20%, you can make a lot of money yourself.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mian felt a lot better and said with a smile: "Then just follow Master Li's wishes."
