Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 157
On the second day, Dr. Xu hurriedly informed Kong Linglong of the news that all the pharmacies and clinics above the middle level in the city had started to purchase rare medicinal materials, and several of them were sold out.Dr. Xu inquired about the reason, but he was told that the concubines' flower banquet was coming soon, and many medical clinics wanted to use prescriptions to win the favor of the nobles in the palace, so they began to make big purchases.

This reason seems to sound nothing.

Fu Ling was in a hurry, and said, "But all the medicines for this month have already been handed over. If we can't get new medicines within five days, we will lose our promise!"

Doing business is the most taboo of dishonesty, especially in the current situation of Baishanzhuang, riding a tiger is hard to get off, and everyone in the capital knows that the drug withdrawal is enough to completely destroy Baishanzhuang.

Dr. Xu also realized the seriousness, and the sweat on his forehead was the result of running around.

Yu'er said what she thought: "What is this flower banquet for? Besides, there are no precious medicinal materials in the palace, and there are countless imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. How can it be the turn of the medical center outside to be anxious?"

Doctor Xu smiled wryly: "Miss Yu'er, don't just say it casually. After all, this is a grand event held in the palace every year. If you want to talk about why, if a girl can get extra favors at the flower banquet, then she will be the same as the man's entrance examination and education. The first time, maybe it will change your life.”

That's why Dr. Xu said just now that medical clinics and pharmacies above the middle level are doing their best to prepare, because small medical clinics will not be qualified.

Kong Linglong heard that it was held every year, so she asked, "At this time in previous years, are the medicinal materials out of stock in such a large area?"

Dr. Xu said slowly: "This has never happened before, and I only heard that there is a shortage of beauty-related medicinal materials. I really didn't expect that several rare medicinal materials like this year were sold out."

And if it really happened every year, Dr. Xu must have told Kong Linglong a long time ago. Obviously, this matter has caught everyone by surprise.

Kong Linglong seemed to understand half of it, and said calmly, "Then it can't be a coincidence."

Yu'er was surprised: "Miss?"

Dr. Xu also immediately said, "Miss suspects that someone is behind the scenes?"

Kong Linglong said, "It's a coincidence that these kinds of medicinal materials are so few."

Immediately, everyone present felt moved, because Poria cocos was the first to feel this way. Several of the medicinal materials that were out of stock in the city were key medicines for making scar-removing ointment.It's just that she didn't want to impose her guess on others, so she didn't say it.

Dr. Xu is also uncertain: "Miss's thinking is actually reasonable, but I have inquired these days, and those suppliers have not clearly stated that someone is behind them."

Of course, it is not ruled out that the suppliers are lying. However, these suppliers have been dealing with medical clinics and pharmacies for many years, and they are also familiar with Dr. Xu. The possibility of lying is very low. This is the first. The second is that there are many people who supply medicinal materials To bribe so many people to lie at once, the power is second to none, the main thing is the energy it takes, it doesn't seem like someone is willing to do it.

Moreover, the object of Kong Linglong's suspicion was almost obvious.

Fu Ling suddenly remembered that in the courtroom, Kong Linglong had seen the prescription brought by the Baizhi Medical Center with her own eyes.She immediately said: "Miss, do the prescriptions brought by the Bai Zhi Medical Center really contain the medicinal materials we use?"

Kong Linglong nodded: "They don't have the ability to extract all the medicines, but they obviously already know the most expensive ones."

Yu'er scolded: "It can't be Miss Nahua or something, she still doesn't give up, and she comes to hurt us again."

Then this matter must not be a coincidence, the pharmacies in the city all rely on the Baizhi Medical Center to buy out these medicinal herbs that make a lot of noise overnight.

Without medicinal materials, even if your ointment is superbly crafted, it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. It depends on what you do.

It was really hit by Kong Linglong, and this trick was to use the bottom of the pot.

Dr. Xu bowed his head: "It's all useless for me as the shopkeeper. I've been restrained everywhere, and now I can't keep the most basic source of medicinal materials."

Kong Linglong glanced at the maids in the room: "The most important thing now is to find a way, and we must not let the supply of medicine go out of stock."

Having said that, everyone has a rock in their hearts. This is different from any crisis in the past. This time there is something wrong with the source, and it cannot be solved by cleverness alone.

Two days passed like this without any progress, even if they couldn't even eat Kong Linglong, they still had no way to deal with it.

Fu Ling said: "Miss, your grandfather, Master Kong once sold favors to the Governor's Mansion? This is also considered as a debt to the Kong family once. Why don't Miss come to the door and ask Miss Nahua to stop, it can be regarded as mutual settlement." .”

Fuling's method is also a compromise. Thinking about it, the Governor's Mansion doesn't want to be known to have received favors from a businessman, so they simply took advantage of this time.

Kong Linglong shook her head: "This matter, the Baizhi Medical Center has done everything seamlessly. There is no reason for people to talk about it, and there is no link that can be bitten out. We can guess, but take it to the Governor's Mansion to negotiate. There will be no suspense, and we will be thrown into the government and charged with a serious crime of slandering the gentry."

At that time, I don't know if I can save my life. This is the disparity in status. If a merchant dares to slander the nobles, he will not die ten times in the prison.

Fu Ling swallowed a cold breath, not daring to come up with any more ideas.

"Moreover." Kong Linglong's gaze was as deep as an ancient well, "The Kong family's family motto is not to repay favors."

The Hua family can owe favors to the Kong family, but the Kong family will never ask them to reciprocate.I want you to be a gentry, and you will always owe me.Even because your daughter, Ms. Hua, has repeatedly used tricks in secret, you will only owe more and more for this kindness.

-

After you, don't come again.Ever since Kong Linglong said this, Suye went back to Fengyan Xiaozhu, facing the ancient tree in the courtyard for two consecutive days, not knowing what to think.

Luo Congrong came in from the outside, but he was a little unhappy, "My lord, I have checked all the movements of Ms. Kong after she entered Beijing that you ordered."

Su Ye looked at him, raised her eyes and smiled: "Tell me carefully."

Luo Congrong couldn't smile at his smiling face, and said: "Ms. Kong has been in Beijing for more than a month. On the first day, she went to Baishanzhuang, and then stayed at the house of the shopkeeper Xu Ziran. In a few days, Ms. Kong developed The Scar Removing Ointment is said to be amazing, and it sells for ten taels of gold a bottle. After being ridiculed by others, the Scar Removing Cream was sold out. In that month, three houses signed a long-term contract with Baishanzhuang to supply monthly supplies. The income is roughly 600 taels per month."

I have never seen such a quick way to get money, even if it is only sold for a month, it will be enough to spend for a lifetime.

With a smile on the corner of Suye's mouth, "What's more, what trouble has she encountered recently?"

Kong Linglong frowned or raised her hand, he seemed to know immediately whether she was happy or unhappy at the moment.Every move she made, every frown and smile, he could see her true emotions through the surface.

Luo Congrong said in a low voice: "Young master, why do you need to worry. According to my subordinates, Miss Kong is such a smart person, even if she is asked to tear down the palace overnight, she can do it."

Su Ye looked at him and said slowly: "Don't talk nonsense, although Linglong is smart, she is a girl after all, she needs someone to support her behind her."

Luo Congrong was speechless. Is this the young master he has served for several years? I feel that if I go to Xianyang, the young master's sour words can pile up a city wall.

Suye thought for a while and said, "Baishanzhuang is at the moment of survival. Linglong has signed a contract with the three brothels. If there is a problem with the supply at this time, the situation of Baishanzhuang will definitely be brought to an irreversible point."

Luo calmly said, "Understood, my subordinates will investigate."

Suye stared at the pamphlet in front of him, he hadn't had an easy year at all, but now that Linglong came, he seemed to feel that everything was gradually becoming clearer.

----

Dr. Xu said: "I have contacted merchants from other provinces in the past few days, and the medicinal materials they have at hand have been sold out. It is simply a desperate situation."

Could it be that there is no way out, Baizhi Medical Center's attack this time is much better than Hua Hongxiao's before, and there is no trace of it.Even the medicine merchants around the capital are monopolized, which can be regarded as thoughtful.

Yu'er said angrily: "It's really annoying. I knew we would drag a few truckloads of medicinal materials from Xianyang, how much would I want?"

In fact, the Kong family's own shop does not have any kind of rare medicinal materials, not to mention even Qianjicao.It's just that this is the capital city, not Xianyang, and the distant water cannot save the near fire. The people behind it must also know this, and they chose to attack at this time, which made the Kong family feel powerless to return to heaven.

Dr. Xu also sighed, being targeted like this, finally cut off the way back, Bai Shanzhuang didn't know how to get through this hurdle.

Kong Linglong said quietly: "If it really doesn't work, there is only the last way, to change the prescription."

Both Fuling and Yu'er were startled, and Fuling said first, "Miss, you mean to use the medicinal materials at hand to make other scar-removing ointments first?"

Yu'er also understood that if this period of time can be buffered, new medicinal materials can be transferred as scheduled from the Kong family medicine shop in other places.

It's just that changing the prescription is even more dangerous. The medicine with such a curative effect as Quscar Cream didn't just fall from the sky. It took a lot of hard work from Miss and Fuling to develop it.How can it be an easy thing to talk about changing now.

Kong Linglong has already made a decision: "The mistake we made this time is that we shouldn't rely on others. If we only got medicines from Kong's pharmacy from the beginning, we wouldn't be in trouble today. But since this is the case, we try to As a remedy, shopkeeper Xu immediately wrote to the drug stores under the Kong family in other provinces, asking them to use the fastest method to collect medicinal materials, Fuling is responsible for the development of new prescriptions, and no matter what, the delivery cannot be delayed."

Doctor Xu immediately agreed, and he hurried back to write the letter as soon as Kong Linglong finished speaking.

Fu Ling gritted her teeth: "Miss, don't worry, in fact, if I don't focus on fast healing, I can also make good scar-removing medicine. As long as you are willing to use it persistently, you can achieve the same effect."

Poria cocos specializes in gynecology, and there are many medicines that can make women's skin smooth and clean, but because the people in the brothel want to use it to remove scars immediately and powerfully, it is a great risk to change the medicine at this time.

Kong Linglong had a gloomy look on her face, she wondered if she would be able to regain her life if she broke the boat.

----

Inside Fengyan Xiaozhu, Su Ye looked surprised: "There is such a thing?"

Luo Congrong said: "The young master reminded Baishanzhuang that if the supply cannot be delivered as scheduled, the subordinates will investigate. It is true that many medical centers in the capital have recently purchased a lot of precious medicinal materials."

Su Ye looked at him and squinted his eyes: "Before you reported Linglong to me, did you hide anything?"

When Luo Congrong was said to be the center of the matter, his face was covered, but he immediately said: "The subordinates are worried about affecting the young master's mood, not to mention that Miss Kong has already handled it properly, so it is not suitable for publicity."

Suye pointed at the stone table and said slowly, "You dare not say anything that can affect my mood." His voice cooled down, "Say it!"

Luo calmly changed quickly, and said in a calm manner: "Miss Kong went to the lobby of the government office before and sued people on the street for slandering Baishan Zhuang's scar removal ointment. The prescription was stolen, but Miss Kong was smart and quick. He was speechless, and even brought a notice from the government office and posted it on the street at the entrance of Baishanzhuang for three days, since then no one dared to doubt Baishanzhuang."

Suye didn't come back to her senses for a long time, Linglong actually went to the Jingzhaoyin yamen?A girl, if she had no one to rely on, how could she want to show her face in the lobby, no matter whether the case was won or lost, thinking of her, a girl, fighting alone in the lobby, Suye suddenly felt cold.

Luo calmly observed his words, and he didn't say anything, of course, to prevent his young master from doing more inappropriate things because of his distress.A young master who is too emotional, he is still...he doesn't want to see him.

Su Ye's face was pale, and she looked at Luo Congrong again: "Tell me, who slandered you."

The people with vested interests behind it are of course the slanderers. Whose prescription did Baishanzhuang "steal"?

Luo Congrong's expression was subtle: "There is a very famous Baizhi Medical Center in Beijing. The medical center was opened by Ms. Hua in the Governor's Mansion. Ms. Hua's cousin Kang Yuren once bought a bottle of Baishanzhuang's scar removal cream. A few days later, Miss Hua came to the door in person, and said that she didn't know anything, but Baishanzhuang stole the prescription from Baizhi Medical Center, and it came out later."

In fact, Luo Congrong's investigation of these things is overkill. If he really wanted to, he might even know how many tiles there are on the upper floor of the Baizhi Medical Center.

Baizhi Medical Center?Su Ye looked like he didn't know, but it didn't prevent him from understanding the meaning.

He felt that his Linglong was not a person who would take the initiative to cause trouble, and Baishanzhuang must not be the fault of Baizhi Medical Center for its famous tricks.

Luo calmly looked at his young master's expression, and it became meaningful. He thought that the young master really didn't know.

"Young master, Miss Na Hua, don't you know?"

Su Ye glanced at him: "Know what."

Luo calmly said, "She was passed down as a medical fairy and saint by the capital. It is said that she inherited her mother's superb medical skills. The Baizhi Medical Center has directly become the largest medical center in the capital. She herself is also from a noble family..."

Su Ye narrowed his eyes: "Are you going to be tricky?"

Luo Congrong coughed dryly, and said: "The main thing is that the young master should understand that this woman is here for the purpose of marrying the young master."

The Governor's Mansion behind him also made a full effort to turn this prostitute into a hot golden signboard.

Su Ye's expression was indifferent, and he didn't know if these words had affected him, but he just said: "From now on, you must not hide anything about Linglong."

Luo calmly admitted his mistake quickly: "This subordinate knows."
