Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 220 Run quickly

He flicked the banknote lightly, and with a crisp sound, Chen Xuan happily put it in his arms.

It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. This is money. Chen Xuan has never seen so much money in his life.

This is already two thousand taels in the account. It's so easy to make money from rich people. As expected, you still have to prescribe the right medicine for the disease, without any ambiguity.

He calculated in his mind that tonight's income plus the silver he had saved over the years, and the tips from performing in the past few days, were almost close to two thousand seven hundred taels. Even if there was no subsequent income, even if he gritted his teeth and borrowed some, it would be enough to complete the transaction with Wu Sanniang.

After earning a large sum of money twice in a row, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to leave. Perhaps there was a big spender out there... a wealthy customer.

To make money, what you need is patience.

It’s just that the Langya Society members around here are an eyesore and may also affect business.

That group of guys is the same, running away without taking their companions with them, is this what they call stabbing each other in the back? Among those who are still unconscious here, there are quite a few seriously injured. If we don't take care of them, people will die.

Would the Constable come out to clean up the mess? Well, I probably wouldn't have that much face. If the Langya Society didn't come to clean up the mess, people's hearts would probably be scattered.

Even if he comes, it is more likely that he will cause trouble for me. Tong Hui's guarantee is really not credible. It is better for him to listen to my words. As the saying goes, if you do it again, I will kill you.

Just as he was lost in thought, someone approached him, carefully avoiding the Wolf Fang Society members on the ground, and asked, "Do you still have the Xiaoyao Pills? Are they really as effective as you said?"

"Yes, enough. The effect will be better than what I said. If you are not enough to destroy my stall, can you give me some?" Chen Xuan looked up and smiled. It was right to stay. Look, business is coming.

However, the person who asked the question obviously doesn't look like he is willing to spend ten taels of silver to buy one. Is he willing to risk his life just to be happy?
Money is life for the poor, and this is not just talk.

The other party said awkwardly: "No, no, how can I afford it? There was an old man over there who asked me to ask. I must have been embarrassed and paid him for the errand. Take one. I guess he has tried the effect and will buy it again if it is good."

"It's a very good deal, ten taels of silver per piece. No cheating, just cash on delivery," Chen Xuan said enthusiastically. No matter who the buyer was, there was absolutely no reason to refuse a business opportunity. Ten taels of silver per piece, the cost was low and it was a huge profit.

The other party left in a hurry with an anxious look on his face. Chen Xuan tossed the silver ingot and another ten taels went into his account, feeling at ease.

Over the next hour or so, seven or eight groups of customers came forward to inquire. Except for two who were reluctant to spend such a large sum of money, the rest bought some. The one who bought the most bought 300 pieces, which surprised Chen Xuan.

Was it because they trusted my skills, or Ning Guiliang's celebrity status? Or perhaps they knew it was a good thing and were using it as a gift or even as a middleman?
Anyway, we have to admit that rich people have enjoyed everything, but what they want most is a good body. Giving this thing as a gift can only touch people's hearts, and both men and women love it.

Never mind. If you have the chance, you're a fool not to make money. That night, I earned nearly six thousand taels of silver, which was more than enough to pay Wu Sanniang for the goods.

There was almost no one around in the second half of the night, so Chen Xuan packed up his stall and left.

He had enough money, and he was considering whether to stop. He didn't have any big expenses for the time being, but after thinking about it, he decided to continue. He had already made it, so he couldn't waste it. He couldn't use it himself, and the money would not go bad after he converted it into cash.

"Come back tomorrow. I think after the overnight word-of-mouth spread, more people will buy tomorrow. Maybe there won't be enough to sell. I'll sell them all and forget about it. I'll sell them at a higher price when I'm short of money. And if I sell them all, I'll get nearly 50,000 taels of silver. Not to mention the start-up capital, it's clearly my first pot of gold. I can start trying other things in the future."

Thinking about it in his mind, Chen Xuan left with a satisfied mood. What could be happier than making money, especially by legitimate means?

There were people who were always watching where Chen Xuan had set up his stall. After he left, a group of people quickly stepped forward and took the Langya Society members on the ground away for treatment. They ignored them at first because they were really afraid that Chen Xuan would misunderstand that they were there to cause trouble. It was impossible for them to really abandon their brothers.

The people from the Langya Society were scared, and their leader immediately gave in as soon as he heard the news.

That was a tough guy who could take down more than a hundred of his brothers with just a wave of his hand. Would Langya dare to retaliate without being absolutely sure?
They are just members of a gang, not a famous sect. It is not shameful to admit defeat, but only fools will fight to the death.

Indeed, the Langya Society has a large number of people, but if they encounter someone who is good at sonic power, no matter how many people there are, they will not be enough to kill.

Not to mention those in gangs, even if it was an army, if the death toll exceeded 20%, they would be directly defeated.

If the death toll of people like them reaches a certain level, there will be no need for the Langya Society to exist. There are many people who will beat a drowning dog, and if the backers do not step in to deal with it, it is only a matter of time before they are replaced.

Even the Langya Society isn't doing well. Aren't the hundreds of injured members going to have to pay for treatment? Some of the seriously injured have had their careers ended. They need resettlement funds. Otherwise, who would stick with you?
The news spread quickly, and soon the entire Langya Society knew that they had offended a powerful man. People were in a panic and some even wanted to quit. Doesn't it cost money to appease people?
Two other gangs heard the news and were ready to send people to seize the streets managed by Tong Hui.

Tong Hui is almost useless. The members of the Langya Society in that area have no fighting power at all. This opportunity is rare.

The entire Langya Society was in a state of panic.

They didn't gain anything, suffered heavy losses, and had to face a series of pressures. Their boss was so angry that he wanted to beat Tong Hui to death. In the end, he didn't do anything because of their years of friendship, but he did smash a lot of things.

I feel like crying, but I have no tears. Where did this tough guy come from? How could there be such a misunderstanding if you had visited the dock beforehand? He just doesn't follow the rules of the underworld at all. How can you be such a person? He is so unrefined...

After putting his things away, Chen Xuan was on his way back to the academy when he suddenly thought of something: his business seemed to be somewhat illegal under the laws of the Kingdom of Jing. First of all, his business hadn't been taxed. Jing Kingdom law stipulates that, with the exception of a small number of agricultural products and handicrafts, all commercial activities must pay taxes to the state. Depending on the industry, the range is between 10% and 50% of income, with detailed regulations. Regardless, Chen Xuan's business seemed to be within the legal tax requirements.

Moreover, even for small transactions of agricultural products and handicrafts, a symbolic management fee will be charged.

Secondly, selling finished medicines requires formal approval procedures. You can't just do it if you want to. Only pharmacies and clinics are qualified to sell finished medicines. Both places are registered. If a war breaks out, these two places will be given priority for requisition and unified management, so you can't do anything you want.

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan scratched his head. He seemed...

"No, that's not how it works. My Xiaoyao Pills aren't a long-term, large-scale business, just short-term retail. Furthermore, they're handmade by a single person, not even a small workshop. The key is that they can't be classified as prescription drugs; they're purely health supplements, so they're legal. Well, that's fine then."

After figuring it out, Chen Xuan felt relieved. After reading so many books and recalling the legal provisions, he did not go astray.

As for attacking the members of the Langya Society, they were just being silly. That was called eliminating harm for the people, and the government should have given them a reward...

Another peaceful day passed, and at night it was still the old location not far from Wangyue Tower.

Chen Xuan appeared in the same image as last night. Before he could set up the stall, a group of people rushed up to him. Each of them was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Chen Xuan was a little stunned. Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?

There must be at least two or three hundred people here, and more are on the way!
"Sir, you're finally here! I've been waiting all day. Do you still have Xiaoyao Pills? I've brought all the money. Ten pills, I want ten!"

"Move aside, move aside, I came here first, I want one hundred, no, two hundred, I have money."

"Don't compete with me, I'll take care of it all, I'm not short of money"

"You're the only one with money. Even the great scholar Ning said it was a good thing. Why do you have it all to yourself? Who do you think you are..."

Wow, even the great scholar Ning said it was good. How did it get such a good reputation? Should I pay some endorsement fee?
That guy's reputation in the academy is probably... no longer able to decline.

"Everyone, don't be anxious, don't push, be careful not to step on others, safety is the top priority, there are enough quantities and everyone can buy something," Chen Xuan quickly spoke to calm everyone down. He didn't want to cause trouble just to sell a few things.

And he blurted out that in fact, there were only more than 4,000 Xiaoyao Pills produced, plus those sold last night, which were definitely not enough to be divided. But if he dared to tell the truth, it would definitely cause chaos here, so he had to maintain the situation first.

It turned out to be useless. Everyone wanted to buy Xiaoyao Pills as soon as possible, so who would listen to him?

There are so many rich people here. Maybe many people from other places have come here after hearing the news. After all, men may not care about many things, but they are very active in that aspect.

"Quiet!"

As a last resort, Chen Xuan used some martial arts techniques, and the sound was like a thunderclap.

Soon people quieted down, and only then did they realize that this was a tough guy who could take care of hundreds of people with a wave of his hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Everyone is so enthusiastic. I had no choice but to do this. Please forgive me." Chen Xuan apologized quickly. These people were all there to give him money. It didn't matter if he said a few nice words. It wouldn't cost him a thing anyway.

People were understanding in good faith. After all, it was impossible to continue with such noise and crowding.

Then Chen Xuan set up his stall and said with a smile, "We have everything. Come one by one, pay and receive the goods. Now that you are here, I believe everyone has heard about the results, so I will not elaborate too much. The payment and the goods are clear, and we will not cheat anyone. How much does this man want?"

"Give me fifty pills first. If the effect is good, I'll buy more from you next time. Here's the money. Just count it and give me the Xiaoyao Pills quickly," the other party said impatiently.

It’s a good start, big business right from the start.

Chen Xuan's capital verification and delivery movements were smooth, and then the next one.

We were so busy from the beginning that we couldn't stop. People came in groups and Xiaoyao Pills were shipped out quickly.

He looked as calm as an old dog on the outside, but he was extremely panicked inside. There were really not many left. If those who couldn't buy it later knew about it, they would tear him apart!

When the Xiaoyao Pills were almost gone and there were only a few left, Chen Xuan became frightened. He took the pills while no one was paying attention, used his lightness skills to run away, and even left his stall.

But he also did not forget to leave a message to remind everyone that it was sold out.

As for the reactions of those who didn’t buy it, he couldn’t care less. He didn’t owe them anything. Wouldn’t they be alive today without it?
Anyway, it’s better to slip away first.

I have enough money, whether I will sell it in the future is still a matter of debate...
