After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 672: Prosperous Taifeng Town [2]

what?
Kong Rouniang's mother was stunned. Was this vicious woman really her daughter? She wasn't that bad. Did she take after her father?

"What are you daydreaming about? Go home quickly and don't delay me from finding a career here." Kong Rouniang was disgusted with her and said, "Only if I climb up the social ladder can you benefit, so you have to listen to me. If you listen to the head of the village, what benefit can you get except being scolded by him?"

This?
That makes sense.

The wife of the officer Kong was a person without a strong opinion. She was persuaded by Kong Rouniang, but she reminded him, "Be careful not to be caught by others, otherwise your life will be over."

Kong Rouniang: "You don't need to remind me, I know it very well, just go now."

Only then did Officer Kong's wife leave.

Kong Rouniang continued to look for her rich husband... There were many people here today, including clerks, runners, village heads from other towns, and their sons. If she could catch one, her rest of her life would be secure.

Unfortunately, the clerk Guan saw her, frowned slightly, and sent the Miao runner to warn her.

After a while, Kong Rouniang returned home angrily.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
"No need to queue up after number 300. If you can't collect it today, come back tomorrow... Follow the number plates, don't worry about being cut in line!"

There were too many people, so Qin Xiaomi changed the purchasing method. The next day, no longer did they line up again from number one, but instead started from the last number of yesterday and moved forward in order.

In this way, when purchasing medicinal materials every year, each serial number will have only one. If there is a problem with someone's medicinal materials, they can search according to the year, serial number, and household registration, and quickly find out whose medicinal materials have problems.

After hearing this, villagers from the other four towns sighed, "We didn't get a chance to get in line, so we have to spend an extra night on food and lodging."

"Why should I feel bad? The cost of food and lodging for one person is only five cents a day. Even if there are four people in your family, it's only twenty cents. I can earn it back by selling one pound of dried bupleurum."

But twenty cents is a day's wage for a farmer working outside, so the villagers all hope that the Qin family can work faster.

However, it won’t happen quickly.

Qin Xiaomi stipulated that only 300 orders of medicinal materials should be collected every day.

Even if there is free time, it will not be charged.

It’s just because her family needs to rest and can’t get tired.

Another thing is that this is the purchase of medicinal materials, so we can't be impatient and every step must be done well.

She told her fellow villagers this: "Being quick can lead to mistakes, so if you want to earn this money from medicinal herbs, you have to learn to be slow, true, and meticulous."

After hearing this, the villagers stopped urging the Qin family and just waited patiently.

The Qin family was busy for six whole days before they managed to collect all the medicinal herbs picked by the villagers from the four towns.

More than 50,000 kilograms of dried medicinal materials were collected, filling up two shops and an entire row of Xue family warehouses.

"Finally, the harvest is finished." Grandpa Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

The two managers Xue Xing and Xue Yong smiled and assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, we will definitely take good care of these medicinal materials."

"Thank you." Grandpa Qin said sincerely, "Thanks to the help of the Xue family, otherwise it would not be so smooth to collect medicinal materials."

Xue Yong and Xue Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, you don't have to be polite. Our boss said before he left that the Xue family was able to rise because of the Qin family, so it is only right for the Xue family to help the Qin family a little."

Xue Yong and Xue Xing have always followed Xue Dongjia. They know all the humiliation Xue Dongjia has suffered, and they also understand how much kindness the Qin family has shown to the Xue family.

So they were very willing to help the Qin family.

Grandpa Qin waved his hand and said, "Let's put it this way. Besides, if it weren't for Mr. Xue, my family wouldn't be able to do the new dye business."

These words made the two Xue managers very happy.

When Grandpa Qin left, they asked Xue Feng to bring the martial artist with him... to protect the Qin family and look after the medicinal materials in the two shops.

Grandpa Qin was very grateful. He added more dishes to Xue Feng and the others and also gave them new warm jackets.

Lei Lichang of Leibao Town and Shi Lichang of Junshi Town were also very grateful to the Qin family. After selling the medicinal herbs, they stayed for two more days to visit Grandpa Qin after the Qin family was done with their work. After seeing Grandpa Qin, Shi Lichang immediately said, "Village Chief Qin, thank you so much. Because of your family, the villagers in our town who come to sell medicinal herbs have an extra income of one or two taels of silver, and can have a good New Year."

Lei Lichang was even more proud: "In our Leibao Town, the lowest amount sold was 300 coins, and the highest amount sold was 6 taels of silver. 6 taels of silver is equivalent to a family's annual income. Let's see how those people who mock us for learning to identify medicinal herbs can laugh?!"

Thinking about how those people were slapped in the face, Lei Lichang was so happy that he couldn't sleep.

He quickly handed over two baskets of gifts: "Village Chief Qin, this is our New Year gift to your family. It's not something expensive, so please don't despise it."

Grandpa Qin said: "It's all from the heart, how can I dislike it."

Grandpa Qin calls Grandma Qin.

Grandma Qin and Aunt Qin came over to receive the New Year gifts from the two village heads and returned to the back house to start sorting the gifts.

According to the rules, 30% was returned, and the Qin family also gave them white flour, animal oil, salt, sugar, and a piece of red cloth to make up a New Year's gift for the two village heads to take home.

Village Chief Lei and Village Chief Shi felt very sorry and refused again and again: "No, no, there are too many, we can't accept them."

The most valuable New Year gift they sent was a jar of meat oil, but the Qin family gave a piece of red cloth.

A whole piece of red cloth, enough to make wedding dresses for a newlywed couple!
Grandpa Qin frowned and said, "If you don't accept it, it means you don't want to have anything to do with my Qin family anymore."

This?
Captain Lei was more straightforward and said first: "Okay, we'll take it...Mr. Qin, thank you very much."

The head of Shili also accepted the New Year gift.

The two village heads bowed solemnly to Grandpa Qin before leaving happily.

The two of them were happy, but the clerks, runners, and other village heads in their town were very unhappy. They secretly cursed them for being scheming and for staying two more days to curry favor with the Qin family.

"It's fine if you go to curry favor with the Qin family, but why don't you take us with you? The villagers from the same town are so wary of us!"

Fortunately, they only dared to curse behind his back and did not dare to say it to his face. They also did not dare to cause trouble for Lei Lichang and Shi Lichang, and they did not dare to try to curry favor with the Qin family.

They don't want to die yet, but the Qin family has a military officer standing guard to protect them.

There were also County Lieutenant Yang, County Magistrate Feng, and Village Chief Wu. It was said that they all plotted against the Qin family and were therefore exterminated.

Qin family: "..."

Don’t spread rumors. These three families are in trouble because they committed crimes. It has nothing to do with my family!

No matter what, the Qin family's reputation has risen several times due to the purchase of medicinal materials.

When the village heads of other towns learned that Wuzhen had made a fortune selling medicinal herbs, they could no longer sit still and braved the cold to go to the county town to ask to see the county magistrate.

"Please have mercy on us, sir. Don't abandon our town. Our folks are relying on selling medicinal herbs to make a living." More than twenty village heads knelt down and begged. Although they were noisy, County Magistrate Kang felt very happy.

what is this?
This is his political achievement!

Didn’t you see that Kang Jinxian next to him was so jealous that his face was about to turn red?
Huh, are you jealous to death?

You used to look down on me, a country magistrate!

"Brother, what exactly is the plan of your county government? Give the village heads a definite answer so that they can have a peaceful year." Kang Jinxian acted like a descendant of a legitimate family.

County Magistrate Kang: "..."

Just wait, when I become an official in Beijing, I’ll see how you can still act like a descendant of a legitimate family!

County Magistrate Kang said, "If everything goes well, the county government will send doctors to the rest of your towns in early summer next year to teach you how to identify medicinal herbs."

"But you have to study hard, abide by the law, and don't try to curry favor with the Qin family or disturb them. Otherwise, even if you dig up the herbs, the Qin family won't accept them!"

More than 20 village heads hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we will do as you say. Thank you, County Magistrate, for your grace!"
