Li Qi returned to the villa and called Tang Yun and Wei Xinshan over to discuss selling medicine.
Li Qi's idea was that he and Wei Gang would go to "Shengshu" while Tang Yun and Wei Xinshan would stay here to produce cowpox with Zong Mixing.
He doesn't want to sell one share and receive one share. If he does this, he will be able to settle the accounts in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Besides, I can't stay here forever.
It was promised that two months would pass, but now it has already passed. Now I don’t know anything about the situation in Kyoto, so I have to go back as soon as possible.
Don't go back too late then, the prince will be pissed off.
So Li Qi's idea was to make a large batch of cowpox and sell it to Zhang Ming all at once. As for the rest, he didn't care about how he wanted to sell it and how he sold it.
After he has almost sold enough, he will ask Zong Mixing to make some for him, and then he will say that he shipped them from Kyoto.
"Brother Li..." Wei Xinshan's eyes hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Li Qi said, "You can say whatever you want, and there are no outsiders. If you have any ideas, just say them."
Wei Xinshan said: "Brother Li, this is what I think... Cowpox is a one-time item. Once someone is vaccinated, the medicine will be useless to him."
Li Qi nodded: "What then?"
"If cowpox falls into the hands of the prefect, he will definitely not sell it at a low price. If he sells it very expensively, ordinary people will definitely not be able to afford it... Then..."
At this point, Wei Xinshan lowered her head: "I know it's wrong for me to say this, but if I don't say it, I'll feel bad."
Looking at Wei Xinshan who looked like she had done something wrong, Li Qi's heart felt like it was hit.
Damn it, this young master hates to see a woman begging for him like this.
But if you don’t earn the money you put in front of you, how can you be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth?
Seeing that Li Qi was in trouble, Tang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Sir, actually I have a way."
"Oh?" Li Qi looked at her.
Tang Yundao said: "Young master can buy the cowpox and give it to some poor people. In this case, even the prefect will have nothing to say."
"Buy it?" Li Qi was a little confused.
Tang Yun nodded and said: "Yes. Just like the West Dian Villa distributing disaster relief food..."
Li Qi's mind was always active, but when Tang Yun did this, he immediately thought of an idea. He slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! Why didn't you think of this method?"
Li Qi looked at Tang Yun and Wei Xinshan and said: "Actually, there is no need to bother! The cowpox given to the prefect will be said to be high-grade cowpox. The probability of contracting smallpox after planting is zero, and the cowpox given to the victims will be said to be low-grade.
Cowpox, there is a 10% chance of contracting smallpox.”
"Vaccinium is the same as cowpox. Rich people will definitely not be greedy for cheap and make fun of their own lives. In this way, those who can afford high-grade cowpox can go to the prefect to buy it, and those who cannot afford cowpox can save their lives."
opportunity.”
Tang Yun and Wei Xinshan were stunned for a while when they heard Li Qi's idea before they came back to their senses.
"But if others knew they were all the same cowpox, wouldn't the prefect's cowpox be unable to be sold?" Wei Xinshan asked.
Li Qi scratched her nose with his finger: "Silly girl, not many people know the formula of cowpox. How could others know it? Even if they knew it, no one would believe it."
"Why?" Wei Xinshan asked with a frown.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Think about it, this is a matter of wealth and life. Even if there is gossip, no one will gamble with their life. People are all creatures who are afraid of death."
Tang Yun could understand what Li Qi said. After all, she had seen a lot of things in the world during her years in the world.
Wei Xinshan is relatively simple, and her ideas are relatively simple.
"In a few days, Wei Gang and I will go out. Yun'er, you will be responsible for contacting the prefect and providing him with cowpox. Xinshan, under my banner, you will distribute free cowpox to the poor. I will contact the prefect in advance.
As promised, I will also say hello to the clan leader." Li Qi arranged.
The two women nodded.
"Okay, sir."
"Okay, Brother Li."
…
Li Qi found Zong Mixing the next day. He had nothing to hide from her and told her everything.
Now that Zong Mixing is obsessed with love, she will listen to everything Li Qi says.
After everything was arranged, Li Qi went to see Zhang Mian again.
"Advanced cowpox?" Zhang Min blinked and stared at Li Qi.
"Yes, high-grade cowpox. The production process of this kind of cowpox is extremely complicated and requires a lot of medicinal materials. This is done to ensure that it is foolproof." Li Qi said, "The low-grade cowpox is different. The production process is much simpler and does not use any
What kind of precious medicinal materials are there?"
"But if it is distributed for free, the profit will be..."
Before Zhang Mian could finish speaking, Li Qi interrupted him with a smile: "Master Zhang, I am doing this for the sake of both of us."
Zhang Ming became even more confused and frowned.
Li Qi explained: "Master Zhang, think about it, when you sell cowpox, the rich people will save their lives, but what about the poor people? When they see cowpox and have no money to buy it, what consequences will there be?
Can I say more? At the very least, there will definitely be a lot of people robbing families and homes for the sake of cowpox. At the most serious level, it is not impossible for them to gather for rebellion..."
After hearing what Li Qi said, Zhang Mian thought about it carefully and it was really like that.
Li Qi added: "If there is any trouble caused by this matter and the people above know about it, you and I will be involved. If the emperor asks one day, what do you want me to say?"
"Master Li is still thoughtful," Zhang Ming said with a cupped hand.
Li Qi smiled and said: "I told you before that I would take 80%, not because I am greedy for money, but because I have already considered these things. If there is no low-level cowpox, it is not impossible for Mr. Zhang and I to take 50%. It is just that we need to make a large number of free products."
low-grade cowpox, so I asked for 80%."
Zhang Mian looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and looked at Li Qi with admiration in his eyes: "Master Li, you are really impressed!"
He thought to himself: This person who is an official in the capital is really not that simple. This Master Li seems to be young, but he is so thoughtful. Fortunately, I did not offend him before.
Li Qi secretly thought: Grandma, fortunately, my young master’s mind is quick.
After a heart-to-heart talk, the sales plan for high-grade vaccinia was finalized.
When he came out of the prefect's mansion, Li Qi exhaled and got into a carriage.
"Sir, shall we set off now?" Wei Gang asked while sitting at the front of the car.
Li Qi opened the curtain and said, "If we leave now, can we get there before dark?"
