Chapter 86

After many days of preparation, with Mr. Zhao's efforts, the clinic is finally about to open.

The location of the clinic is next to the stone bridge in Lanxi. This is a better location on the street. If it weren't for Zhao Lushi from the county government and several people who were helping him, he wouldn't have been able to get such a good location.

The annual rent for a shop in the backyard of a front shop is 30 cents, which is absolutely not cheap. However, Dr. Zhao thought it was quite worth it. The key is that the location is good and the place is not small. It turned out that this is a silk shop, but the original store owner wanted to move his family to Longyou, so he intended to transfer the store out.

The original goods in the store have been cleared, and they have to be an empty store, and everything they need to be redesigned.

This time, Li Xiao didn't need to design it. Mr. Zhao directly contacted carpenters and others to make counters and medicine cabinets according to the regular layout of the clinic, and bought a lot of things the clinic needed.

After some preparations, it was finally decided to open in the late twelfth lunar month.

The name of the clinic was Huichuntang. Li Xiao originally planned to join Mr. Zhao for 55, but Mr. Zhao was determined not to take stocks. In the end, Wanniang persuaded him and agreed to take 30% of the shares. In this way, the two men and women shared the share of the shares. Mr. Zhao took the restaurant and took another 20% of the profits each year.

Early in the morning, the shopkeeper brought the plaque to Huichuntang with his friend, which was covered with big red silk.

"Congratulations."

Old Zhao was particularly festive today. He started to study medicine since he was a child. He started to be an apprentice in the pharmacy at the age of nine. After three years, he was finally able to stand at the counter. After studying medicine for eighteen years, his master allowed him to prescribe prescriptions for others. After he became a wandering doctor and wandered around to practice medicine. He accumulated a lot of experience, but he also worked hard for most of his life.

When I was old, I didn’t expect that I could still open my own clinic if I could still benefit from my son-in-law.

"I will be neighbors on the same street from now on. I hope Manager Zhao will take care of you more."

When the clinic is opened, it is naturally necessary to hold a banquet. Biaozi’s restaurant has also opened. Today’s banquet is personally reserved by Biaozi and his apprentices in the restaurant. The food is prepared and delivered from there, and the table is placed in the yard of the clinic.

When Li Xiao came, there were already many customers, all the shopkeepers on Lanxi Street. They were close to each other and said they were here to support them.

"Sanlang, everyone is very supportive." Mr. Zhao said happily.

Li Xiao watched the lively scene, "That's also Aye, you are very skilled in medical skills and good medical ethics. Everyone admires it." Today, Mr. Zhao specially wore a silk robe sewn for him by Wan Niang. There was also a marten fur on the outside, a black mattress on his head and a pair of deer leather boots on his feet, which really made him look like a big shopkeeper.

“A guest is here!”

Zhang Cong, who served as a welcome guest at the door, shouted loudly.

Li Xiao and Mr. Zhao turned their heads, but saw a tall man coming with seven or eight strong men.

These people are obviously from the army and are very fierce.

The strong man walked to the door and handed over a post.

Zhang Cong was illiterate and felt helpless when holding the post, so he had to hand it to Yang Dayan who was here to help.

Yang Dayan took it, opened the post and looked at it, and said, "Chang'an's bad coach Wei Yong."

Bad handsome, as soon as the name came out, the guests who arrived in the courtyard were surprised. Even Li Xiao was surprised. He thought that these guests who were obviously military personnel would be sent by the Xue family or the Cheng family to congratulate him.

Who would have thought that it was a bad person?

Bad people are considered a group of special tolerances in the Tang Dynasty. According to official explanation, the imperial government requisitioned those with evil deeds as minor officials who were arrested, which was called bad, also commonly known as bad spine, and those who were in charge of the management were called bad commanders.

During the Han Dynasty, there was a great man who was equal to him, who was in charge of the gate control and belonged to the public car Sima Ling, and his superiors called him great man. By the Tang Dynasty, he was a bad man and a bad commander.

It sounds like a very noble person, but when you think about it carefully, these people are actually equivalent to assistant police.

The government incorporated some gangsters on the ground into minor officials who were responsible for detecting and arresting them, and they were still using these people to be familiar with the civility.

However, as the saying goes, you have power. Because these people assist the government in arresting thieves and robbing thieves to maintain public order, the power is quite large. As the saying goes, it is better to manage the current officials than to manage them, especially the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian. They are in charge of the entire capital, and the bad people in the two counties are more lenient.

Many bad people even have official identities, but also many lackeys of powerful people.

Li Xiao didn't expect that the bad coach from Chang'an County would come to his shop in person.

"Who invited it?" he asked.

Mr. Zhao was also confused, "I didn't invite this person either. I guess he came uninvited."

Li Xiao looked at Wei Yong with a fat face. It was probably because the good ones would not come, and the people would not come.

But since he came, he still had to come forward to greet him.

Take a few steps forward and bow your hand.

"The bad coach is here, and it is a mistake to welcome you!"

Wei Yong looked up and down at Li Xiao and smiled at the entourage beside him, "There has been a lot of rumor recently. I heard that the person who made this medicinal wine is only a young man in his early twenties. I didn't believe it. Today, I went there myself, and it turned out that what I said was true!"

"That is, there is nothing to be needed on the table." Li Xiao felt that Wei Yong was very rude to speak.

Wei Yong blocked the door and refused to go in. He smiled sinisterly, "This medicinal wine is a good thing. I heard that it has a price but no market. All the pharmacies in Chang'an City want to buy but cannot. You seem to have some purchase restrictions. Each pharmacies are limited to ten bottles. How can this amount satisfy everyone?"

"If you want me to tell me, you are still too young. Since it is a good thing and everyone is willing to pay, you can satisfy everyone's supply. Isn't this your good thing? I'll do you all."

"There is really a small shop with few people, and the supply is in short supply for a while, and it will take a while to soak the medicinal wine." Li Xiao explained.

"So that's it. Then this is simple. Brother, I'll help you. I have a wide range of people. I'll get people for you. I'll hire you as much as you want. I can hire you, and buy slaves. If you don't have any other medicinal herbs, I can get them for you."

This was very rude. Li Xiao immediately felt the other party’s purpose, and he was here to grab the meat.

He laughed a few times.

"Bad handsome, please come in and have some tea first, and I'll say something later."

Seeing that Li Xiao was unresponsive, Wei Yong showed an unhappy expression on his face.

"Brother, brother, I'm helping you. If you don't do a good business, you're just a miserable amount of money. You think this is OK. When we meet, I'll help you. Give me the recipe for the medicinal wine. My brother will do all these. When I make money, I will give you 10% of the dividends. You don't have to work hard, just enjoy the success."

This is really a good appetite. As soon as I came, I asked for a prescription and only left a ingredient for Li Xiao.

"Don't be satisfied with the bad handsome guy, Li didn't think about selling this ingredient. Although the supply is in short supply now, we really like what we are now."

"Haha, young man, don't be so utterly." Wei Yong sneered.

"Ship Wei, the visitor is a guest, so it's better to have a cup of tea first. If Ship Wei has something to do, then I won't give it to you." Li Xiao was not polite either.

He is just a bad handsome man. Although he is a local snake from Chang'an, so what? He can't handle it casually. This medicinal wine is a good project. He tried his best to do it, and it was a money tree.

Besides, he is not without a backer.

The Liu County Magistrate of the county, Xue Rengui from Chang'an, and even Cheng Yaojin from the court, were able to hand over the words. If he wanted to rob him for nothing, how could he do it?

Wei Yong was very dissatisfied when he saw that Li Xiao was not good at it.

His face was already gloomy.

"Is this not taking me, Wei, seriously, and the bad people in Chang'an?"

"I dare not, but Li's small business, and I dare not bother Wei Shuai to worry about it, so I won't worry about it."

"Hahaha."

Wei Yong reached out to stop a few bad guys under his command who were about to draw the knife. "You might as well, let's go in and have a cup of tea first. It's still early, don't worry, don't worry."

As they said that, they entered the yard with a swagger and sat directly at the main position, which was reserved for the most distinguished guests.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhao said with some concern, "This bad coach cannot offend him. These people are cruel and offending him, but there is no benefit."

"Aye, I, Li Xiao, don't want to cause trouble, but I don't mean I'm afraid of trouble. Wei Yong is obviously going to force our medicinal wine business. Can I give in like this?" He comforted Mr. Zhao, "You don't have to worry. He is just a bad handsome man, not even an official."

To be honest, Li Xiao is still an official, but Li Xiao’s official position is not allowed to be promoted. He is a sixth rank, and he is nothing like this bad handsome. Even his official position is paid at all and is not as good as a real power person like a bad handsome, but Li Xiao has a backstage.

If you want to force the Li family to swallow up the Li family's business, you don't have to check whether your teeth are good first.

"After a visitor, Mr. Liu from Xiazhuang will be here!"

Liu Danao came with his grandson Liu Huizu, and even gave two mules as gifts, making a generous move.

"Please inside Uncle Liu."

Over there, Wei Yong sat there, drinking tea carelessly.

"Wei Shuai, why are we polite to that kid? Just get him right and find a reason to grab him in prison. If he tortures him, he has to agree to everything."

"What do you know? This kid is protected by General Xue Rengui of Yulin. He can't force him."

"General Xue Rengui of Yulin?" Several bad people were a little cowardly when they heard Xue Rengui's reputation. They were just bad people, but they were the Yulin Army of the Imperial Guard. When they saw them, they were like mice and cats.
