On the evening of April 11th, there was wind and sand in the sky, and there were only a few people on the street. Li Yuanqing pushed an inconspicuous small wooden cart and entered through the back door of Baofengtang Mansion. In the warehouse in the backyard, he completed the work with Baofengtang.

Fengtang's transaction.

This is also the biggest benefit of the pharmaceutical industry. The volume of goods that may be worth thousands of gold or ten thousand gold is not as large as a bag of grain, and it has very good confidentiality.

About 40% of the hundred pounds of finished product can achieve the effect of a top-grade hardcover version, and the rest can be used as second-class goods without much problem.

Except for Li Yuanqing, who kept a few high-grade items for himself, he did not retain the rest and gave them all to Baofengtang.

If these goods are completely sold according to the original pricing with that pretty girl, their value will definitely exceed ten thousand liang.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing didn't care so much. After all, the packaging, transportation, sales and many other links will be all handled by Baofengtang. If they don't make money, how can they do it next time?

What was a pity for Li Yuanqing was that the owner of the pretty Baofengtang was not present during the delivery today, but the second shopkeeper was solely responsible for it.

After finishing the business, Li Yuanqing said to the second shopkeeper: "Second Master, why don't you see your boss today? I still have an important matter to discuss with my boss."

As he said that, Li Yuanqing remained calm and stuffed a fifty-tael silver note into the second shopkeeper's hand.

The second shopkeeper took a glance, turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he hurriedly whispered: "Our boss is not feeling well today. Mr. Li, what can I do for you? I can pass the news on my behalf later."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but feel a little speechless. He was fine a few days ago. Could this pretty girl get into trouble at this time?

However, making money by selling medicine is only a small part of Li Yuanqing's plan. The most important thing is that Li Yuanqing still needs to use the power of Baofengtang to get himself on the caravan ticket to Shenyang City.

But at this time, seeing the second shopkeeper say this, Li Yuanqing could only restrain his impatience a little, and laughed in a low voice: "Second Master, we are done here. Let's find a place to have a drink?"

Why didn't the second shopkeeper understand what Li Yuanqing meant? He couldn't help but understand, and nodded with a smile, "Then~~, thank you very much, Mr. Li."

…………

Although he had some disdain for the greedy second shopkeeper, how could Li Yuanqing be willing to show it off easily?

However, for this dinner, Li Yuanqing did not find a place that was too romantic. Instead, he found a private room in a famous restaurant on Zhongjie Street just to talk about things.

Seeing that the result he wanted was not achieved, the second shopkeeper couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but seeing that Li Yuanqing was not stingy, ordering all the dishes and ordering good wine, he became slightly more balanced.

Amid Li Yuanqing's clever compliments and several glasses of fine wine, the two shopkeepers' tongues became a little louder and their speech became a little wild.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile to himself. The second shopkeeper must have been suppressed for too long, and he couldn't bear the slightest sugar-coated bullet.

In fact, this is actually the norm in today’s society.

The Ming Dynasty's hierarchical system was extremely strict.

Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants.

As a merchant who plays the role of commodity circulation in this society, even if you are as rich as a country, you still cannot have a matching social status, which is completely different from that of later generations.

Although by the end of the Ming Dynasty, officials and businessmen were almost indistinguishable, it was only the bosses whose status improved.

The 'deputy general manager' of Baofengtang, like the second shopkeeper, still received the same treatment as before, which was far from being comparable to the treatment of the deputy general manager of a major pharmaceutical company in later generations.

This second shopkeeper has been in the business for decades. Where has he ever encountered a supplier as capable as Li Yuanqing?

Under the influence of the fine wine and Li Yuanqing's previous public relations, the second shopkeeper gained trust in him. It didn't take long before he came to Li Yuanqing with everything Li Yuanqing wanted to know.

It’s no wonder that Zhang Ji Baofeng Tang has taken up such a large share of the family business in Guangning City.

The ancestor of the Zhang family was a long-established drug dealer in Guangning. His family fortune was very rich, and in the current generation, it is even more impressive. The eldest son of the Zhang family not only passed the examination, but also became a prince in Beijing.

Under his guidance, the future is limitless.

But maybe this young master’s life is too smooth, and his family’s wealth is so great that he will inevitably have some bad problems. Originally, the family expected him to be more restrained and live a stable life after getting married, but who knows, after getting married,

On the contrary, this guy got worse and died on his way to the capital to study.

The old man in the family, who was the only one in the family, was so angry that he also followed the young master, leaving only a group of female relatives.

Just when this time-honored brand that had stood in Guangning for hundreds of years was about to collapse, the young lady, the pretty girl Li Yuanqing had seen before, stood up.

She not only settled the disputes within the family, but also opened up the trade route to the northeast. In just a few years, she not only restored Zhang Ji Baofengtang's vitality, but also increased its strength. Although she could not compete with several top leaders in Guangning City

Compared with wealthy businessmen, they are not far behind.

The second shopkeeper smiled lewdly at Li Yuanqing and said, "Master Li, do you know the origin of our boss?"

The second shopkeeper burped obscenely, which was extremely obscene.

"Oh? I don't know about this family. I'd like to hear the second master explain his doubts." Li Yuanqing flattered with pretense of expectation.

The second shopkeeper chuckled lewdly, "Our boss, whose name is Qu Minqiu, is from the Qu family in Shanxi Province. Although she is a concubine in a side house, she is famous for her talent and beauty. Although my eldest son has a good background, but according to common sense,

He will never be able to eat this piece of swan meat. But for some reason, this young lady from the Qu family has chosen my young master."

As the second shopkeeper spoke, he poured another glass of fine wine with a smile and drank it in one gulp. There was a "sizzling" sound. Seeing that Li Yuanqing was listening to it, he asked carefully: "Master Li, tell me, is this strange?"

Li Yuanqing laughed and said: "It's indeed a bit strange."

"Hehe. That's right." The second shopkeeper chuckled lewdly, "Master Li, that's you, I'm just telling you these heart-wrenching words. Guess what? Hey, guess what?"

The second shopkeeper became more and more excited as he talked. He was no longer sitting on the chair. Instead, he crossed his legs and stood on the chair like a skinny giant monkey. He was so funny, so funny.

But not only was Li Yuanqing not young, he looked fascinated, with his eyes wide open, waiting for what the second shopkeeper would say.

Seeing that the Guanzi was almost sold, the second shopkeeper chuckled and said: "Later, I also accidentally heard the married maid next to my boss mention that our young lady from the Qu family turned out to be...hehehehehe..."

His eyes were shining with silver. It was obvious that he had lusted after the young lady from the Qu family so many times, "She, she is a white fox."

"What?" Li Yuanqing pretended to be surprised, looking like he couldn't believe it.

Blue dragon and white tiger are actually just normal physiological phenomena.

But in this era, due to the lack of scientific theory, people do not understand it this way.

Men are better off, but women, once they have such physical characteristics, are almost equal to monsters.

White Tiger Kefu has been circulating for more than a thousand years?

"Then..." Li Yuanqing hesitated.

"Hehe. Mr. Li, have you figured it out? The young master in our family was 100% killed by this young lady from the Qu family. However, although this young lady in our family is very talented, she is not good at business.

It's quite powerful. After the eldest young master and the old master left, she may have felt that her name was too sad, so she changed Min Qiu to Min Qiu. However, according to me, God's will is probably not so easy to change.

Eliminate it.”

After hearing what the second shopkeeper said, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but feel extremely funny.

According to the second shopkeeper, there is no one else to blame for the death of this eldest young master, it is just his own fault.

However, the reason why this young lady from the Qu family, Qu Minqiu, chose this 'prodigal' for marriage is probably not as simple as it seems.

The Qu family in Shanxi will definitely be famous not only now, but also in future generations.

Although unlike the Qiao family and Wang family, which can have such a large-scale ancestral home handed down for future generations to visit, as representatives of Shanxi merchants and one of the eight imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty, these hundreds of people from the late Ming Dynasty to the fall of the Qing Dynasty

Throughout the year, you can see them almost everywhere.

Coupled with the impression left by Li Yuanqing's contact with him...

"Second Master, life is still wonderful. Come, let's have another drink..."

…………

After asking the waiter to take the drunken second shopkeeper to the inn next door to rest, Li Yuanqing came to the back door of Baofengtang again.

Originally, Li Yuanqing just wanted to use Baofengtang as a stepping stone for himself, but now, after learning about Miss Qu's background, Li Yuanqing changed his mind.

Knocking on the door to the backyard, the guard saw Li Yuanqing returning again, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, "Sir, our wife has gone to rest and no longer has any visitors."

Li Yuanqing hurriedly stuffed more than one tael of silver into the servant's hand, "Trouble, brother, a certain family has a business emergency. I want to see your wife. Please give me permission."

After collecting the money, the waiter was too nice to refuse Li Yuanqing and said vaguely: "Okay then. I'll go and tell you. But whether Madam wants to see you or not, I don't have to say anything."

"Haha. Thank you, brother." How could Li Yuanqing argue with the slave and keep smiling until the slave walked into the inner house.

Today is already April 11th, and there are only less than twenty days left before the May period stipulated by Mao Wenlong.

Even if he ignored his shipment, Li Yuanqing still had to join the caravan heading to Shenyang City through the connection of this young lady from the Qu family.

Furthermore, if conditions permit, Li Yuanqing also hopes to gain more trust from Miss Qu's family and ride on the big ship of Qu's family in terms of business.

Life is a lifetime, grass and trees are in autumn.

If you have too much money, you can't afford it. But if you don't have money, you can't do it.

In fact, there is no absolute right or wrong about many things. Everything still depends on everyone’s position.

The contacts between Shanxi merchants and Hou Jin were no secret at all.

As the wheel of history continues to move forward, even if Li Yuanqing does not do it, I am afraid that countless people will pursue this huge profit.

In this case, Li Yuanqing might as well get there first, earn the money that the Jurchens of Houjin plundered from the Han people, and do what he wants to do.

But now, it is only the first year of Tianqi. Although the Ming Dynasty is in decline, the tentacles of Shanxi merchants may not have fully extended to the heart of Liao.

What will happen next is still unknown.

If everything is done well, it is not certain that the Shanxi merchants would be allowed to take all the initiative, given that Li Yuanqing and his two generations had the experience of being beyond this world for hundreds of years.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the servant arrived late and said with a cold face: "I'm sorry, sir, my wife is unwell and has gone to bed early. If you have something to do, come back tomorrow."
