As the weather gets warmer after the new year, the villagers have resumed going to the mountains to collect herbs. There are many medicinal materials in the mountains, and Zhu Wang is doing his duty diligently, so everyone has a good harvest.
After the previous false accusation incident, no one has any evil intentions now.
Following up the mountain steadily is better than anything else, the medicinal materials are good, and the price given by Renjitang is also high, so I can't help but be satisfied.
On this day, Lin Yuxi went to Renji Hall to have a look. Zhu Xiaoxiao said happily, "Master, my mother and my neighbor's aunt dug up a ginseng plant together. It's quite big."
Lin Joy was very happy, "Really?"
Zhu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, "Really, my mother has already steamed it. I'll bring it over when it's dry."
She knew that Renjitang wanted to collect high-quality medicinal materials. This was to interest drug dealers so that Renjitang's dilemma could be solved in the future. The more such good medicinal materials, the better.
Lin Xixi is just waiting for a suitable time to sell medicinal materials. Now many people are inquiring about it in Yun'an County. It must be popular enough and sell enough.
Yuan is a good hand at digging medicinal materials, and she is willing to teach others. There are also elderly people in other families who have gone to the mountains to dig ginseng. They all have experience. It is very safe to follow them into the mountains now. Many people want to make more money digging medicinal materials.
Everyone is very motivated now. No one has gone to the mountains to dig for medicinal materials in many years. There are also many good medicinal materials. One after another, people dig out good quality medicinal materials.
Renjitang also gave very good prices, and those who made money from the sales were even more enthusiastic. Others were envious and thought about going into the mountains to dig hard, and maybe one day they would also become rich.
Now that he still had a lot of good medicinal materials in his hands, Lin Yuxi felt that the time was almost up and asked shopkeeper Sun to arrange for someone to release the news that Renjitang had thousand-year-old ginseng.
As soon as the news came out, people immediately came to inquire about it. Shopkeeper Sun looked surprised at first, then waved his hand, "No, no, there is no such thing. If there was, I would have sold it for money."
The person who came to inquire smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, don't hide it. To be honest, my master wants to buy it. The price will definitely satisfy you. The most important thing is that this ginseng is good."
Shopkeeper Sun hesitated again, "If so, what price can you get?"
The man thought it was funny and said in a low voice, "My master is a drug dealer in Fucheng, and this is what he does. Don't businessmen just want to have a good reputation? Naturally, I won't cheat you. As long as the ginseng tastes good enough, the price will be absolute."
It won’t be low.”
Shopkeeper Sun looked around and whispered some news to him, "We at Renjitang really have some good products. There are people in our boss's capital city, and they probably plan to sell them in the capital city. I don't care about this either."
It’s so easy to make the decision.”
When the man heard this, he became even more excited.
No wonder Renjitang never put it out for sale. I thought it was fake news and thought about going back to give the master a reply. Who knew it was really true?
If there are connections in the capital, they will indeed want to sell it in Beijing, and the price will definitely be much higher. Why sell it to the drug dealers here and let them make another profit?
He smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, how many goods do you have on hand?"
"this……"
Shopkeeper Sun looked embarrassed again, and the man stuffed him with a piece of silver, "This is all for the master, so you should be considerate of me. I have been here for such a long time, and if I don't buy anything, I will do the same."
It’s a punishment.”
"I can't make the decision on this matter." Shopkeeper Sun sighed, "My little brother is so honest, so I'll just tell you. There are indeed several ginseng plants in Renjitang, and there are also high-quality medicinal materials nearby.
The owner ordered me to keep it, but I don't dare to sell it casually."
The man's eyes lit up, "May I ask when the owner of Renji Hall will come over? If possible, my master can come and discuss it in detail."
Jiangzhou doesn't often produce good ginseng. Although it does exist, it is rare, so it is extremely precious.
If Renjitang really hides several thousand-year-old ginseng plants, I would definitely be willing to come and discuss them in detail.
Shopkeeper Sun shook his head, "I don't know about that. My boss's business is all over the place. Who knows when I will come here to see you? The business here is so small that my boss doesn't care."
He suddenly said, "But our boss has a relationship with the county magistrate. To tell you the truth, those good medicinal materials were also dug up when the yamen led people to dig in the mountains. I think the magistrate should mean what he says."
He cleared his throat and said, "That's all I can tell you. I can't control the rest. Don't embarrass me, who is paid to work."
The man nodded, "Okay, thank you for telling me this news. Don't tell others."
Shopkeeper Sun nodded, but when people came again, he still said these words, but within two days, many people knew it.
It's time to plow the fields in the spring. Chen Zhongqian made a new plow, which is very convenient for plowing. He has been teaching people in the countryside how to use it for the past few days, and he usually doesn't go home until the afternoon.
When he went back, he saw many people waiting at the door of his house and the door was closed, which was a bit inexplicable.
After knocking on the door, the concierge boy came out and said, "Your Excellency is back."
Chen Zhongqian asked, "What do these people do?"
"They all came to visit you. Your Majesty is not at home. Madam and the others went back first, but none of them refused to leave."
Chen Zhongqian turned around and looked at those people, smiled slightly, and probably knew what they were here for.
Those people also came to their senses and were about to step forward to speak, but the door suddenly closed again.
"Did I hear you correctly? That was Mr. Chen just now?"
A person next to him was also stunned, "Isn't he just a farmer? He is wearing coarse linen clothes and his trousers are full of mud. Can he be an official of the imperial court?"
Someone else said, "I heard that Mr. Chen is a good official who does practical things for the people. The man just now did not look like an ordinary farmer. It should be him."
So, Mr. Chen has been away all this time. He went to the countryside to help with farming? Is he just coming back from work now?
Everyone was shocked. They really didn't expect that such a good official could come to such a bad place like Yun'an County.
I don’t know whether God has opened his eyes or not. Where can such a good official go?
Anyway, the people are back now. They have been here for half a day and the matter is not done yet. They can't go back empty-handed.
The person in front knocked on the door again, "Is that Mr. Chen just now?"
The boy nodded, "My lord just said that I will see you again after he takes a shower and changes clothes. Please come in first and wait."
Several people were overjoyed and hurried in again. If this thing is done, the master will get a lot of rewards.
But it’s not easy. Everyone wants good medicinal materials, but the quantity is limited.
They each thought in their hearts what kind of conditions Chen Zhongqian would offer. After waiting for half an hour, he finally came.
Without saying a word, he directly placed a box on the table.
When I opened it, I saw two ginseng plants of excellent color.
"Renjitang is short of a lot of medicinal materials, but there is no shortage of such top-notch products. We will sell them to anyone who is sincere."
