"These are being transported to Dahuang City. The transportation costs in Dahuang City are high, and the residents are mainly farmers and Taoist priests, so there are few traditional medicinal materials available, and the cost of medicine is high. It is difficult to buy medicine even if you have money, so it is very suitable for the spread of Western medicine."

The student stood in front of Ji and analyzed the paper for him.

He didn't know who the man in front of him was. But he was dressed elegantly, claimed to be the owner of a caravan, and had many credentials, so the student naturally didn't suspect him and tried to negotiate a contract with him for the purchase of transportation intentions.

Now, it is time for the students to show him the advantages of Western medicine.

Ji smiled, "Instead of competing with traditional medicines in regions with backward pharmaceutical industries, why not open up new markets with its lightweight properties? It makes sense, but how can doctors who prescribe medicine solve this problem?"

"The advantage of Western medicine lies in its precise measurement compared to traditional medicine. Not all Western medicines need to be prescribed by a strict doctor. The demand for medicine in Dahuang City is mainly for strain caused by field labor and infections caused by mosquito bites. The Western pharmacy will soon publish a "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" to teach folk doctors how to treat illnesses and use medicines..."

Seeing the student arguing endlessly in front of him, Ji couldn't help but become very interested.

Even though the other party's reasons were only partially valid, and he still had the idealistic and immature tone of a student, he spoke in a very formal manner, answering whatever Ji asked, but the other party performed much better than Ji, who was a first-time businessman.

Ji watched the Tai student flipping through the barefoot doctor's manual and recalled the old businessman who had taken him into business.

He smiled and said, "Not bad. When I first went to do business, I was not as good as you when talking to those merchants. Please sign this letter of intent. I will leave soon and will not stay in the capital for too long. Don't delay me."

"Seriously? These are medicines worth one million taels!"

"There are tens of thousands of people in Dahuang City. What is a mere one million taels of medicine? I'm afraid it won't last even two months. One million taels may seem like an astronomical figure to you now, but in front of tens of thousands of people, it's just a sip of Victoria wine per person."

Ji said calmly, signing his name on the letter of intent handed to him by the student Tai.

He was ranked seventh among the Sui Xiang agents, and together with Shu, who was ranked sixth, he had lived in Dahuang City the longest. Later, Ji was attracted by the merchants and went there to do business. Now his business is getting bigger and bigger, and every time there is a natural disaster in Dayan, he will provide financial support.

Yuan Congqian helped him solve Sister Jie's problem, so he would naturally repay him. The agreed business was business, and Ji's desire to run the Western Pharmacy was a favor and a preparation for Dahuang City.

The student excitedly took the letter of intent to Zuo Xuanliao for review, and completely forgot that he had a distinguished guest to entertain.

Ji Zhuo felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry as he looked at this student who had left him alone here.

"When I came to the capital to look after him at the request of my eldest brother, I immediately felt that he was very good at balancing accounts, and that things would get better and better. But I never expected that I would become his beast of burden so soon."

"You make so much money, what's wrong with buying more?"

Ling appeared from the side door, smelling of alcohol. I was afraid he was hiding here drinking again.

Ji was so angry at the eldest sister that he couldn't catch his breath: "In the business world, of course, we only talk about business. How can we do business otherwise? What do you mean I make more money to buy more Western medicine? What's wrong with that?"

"If you do this again, I will tell your sister Shu."

"That doesn't make sense. What if you tell me?"

Ji, who has been the best friend of Shu since childhood, is still being stubborn.

Unfortunately, Ling is the eldest sister after all. She may not have other abilities, but she is definitely good at bullying her younger siblings. "That's what you said! I really told her. Don't rush back to Dahuang City crying and saying that it was not your intention..."

After the eldest and second brothers, there are four female agents in a row. No matter how capable they are, they can only be stinky younger brothers.

Ji had no choice but to accept the offer because of his sister's crooked arm. After writing a letter of intent for long-term cooperation with the Western Pharmacy, he reluctantly put down his pen and ink, "Are you satisfied?"

"That's about right." Ling's tail swung back and forth behind him.

Ji was unexpectedly dizzy again.

He paused for a moment and said:

"I do plan to go back to Dahuang City. I have to tell Sister Shu about everything that happened in the capital. And I also have to let her know about the new source stone skills of Simui Taiqing..."

"What kind of extra money can you afford to get Si Sui Tai Qing to work for you?"

"I may not be able to afford the price, but I have to pay it even if it means losing everything I have."

Ji sighed, crossed his arms and looked up at the sky.

The agent has the power that seems like the power of a god to the common people, but in the face of the evil pollution, he can only jump a little. His sister, who has the power like Shennong, has been tortured by the evil fragments under the Great Wilderness City for a thousand years. Why should she suppress the evil fragments for the mean and ungrateful Yan Kingdom?

If it was Yuan Congqian's Originium skills, perhaps she would no longer be imprisoned in the Great Wasteland City with the demon fragments...

Chapter 116: Wei Yanwu's Lightning-Speed ​​Corruption

The waiter from Duke Wei's mansion handed over the invitation.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, this was the first time that Duke Wei invited Yuan Congqian to listen to music. The place for listening to music was naturally not in Yunque Pavilion, but in his Jingzhao Yin office.

The main color tone of Jingzhao Yin is calm black. Civil servants and clerks come and go constantly, and people who come to file complaints are often welcomed into the side rooms.

Jingzhao Yin was in charge of the administration of the capital and the surrounding villages and towns. He was at the same level as the nine ministers in the court and could participate in the government. In modern terms, he directly governed the capital area, and the power he held was self-evident.

However, although the position of Jingzhao Yin was noble, due to the complicated power structure in the capital, the interests of all parties had to be balanced. Ordinary civil officials would sweat profusely after serving as Jingzhao Yin for a year, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could handle. The poet sighed, "How can the Jingzhao Yin be promoted without hesitation? Please count the number of people, fifteen in ten years." Fifteen Jingzhao Yins were replaced in just ten years, which shows how difficult it is to be Jingzhao Yin.

Yuan Congqian stepped into the room.

Wei Yanwu had already prepared fine wine and Qu Qiuniang.

Qu Niang was wearing a light yellow skirt with a rather bold opening at the chest, exposing the upper half of her white breasts. When she took Yuan Congqian's hand and sat down, she always consciously or unconsciously wanted to let his hand touch her smooth and delicate shoulders.

Yuan Congqian thought that Wei Yanwu would grow up quickly after serving as Jingzhao Yin, but he never thought that he could grow so fast! Only one day later, Wei Yanwu, who said he wanted to be a hero, became so corrupt!

Wei Yanwu shuddered as he felt the death stare from his cousin.

He probably knew what he had done, so he coughed and defended himself: "My Duke of Wei's Mansion is being relocated, and the East Palace is also being renovated. I will be staying at the Jingzhao Yin's office for the next few days."

"Drinking and listening to music in the government office, is this how you act like a hero?"

"Don't say it, don't say it, this is left by the previous Jingzhao Yin. I have only been in office for a few days, so I don't have time to invite the Heavenly Master. This is really not something I cultivated myself. I can't entertain you in the place where I'm solving cases, right?"

Yuan Congqian asked curiously, "Who was the Jingzhao Yin of the previous generation?"

There actually is such an awesome person in the capital, who can eat, drink and have fun in a position where he could destroy his family at any moment, build a venue for banquets and entertainment in the Jingzhao Yin office, and even keep singing girls in his inner circle?

"He has been taken away by the Suzhengyuan and imprisoned. He has protected the Fu Ni clan for more than 300 times. He will be executed tomorrow."

Wei Yanwu looked helpless as he asked people to serve the meal.

The "autumn" in "beheading after autumn" refers to the autumnal equinox. It is said that the Mid-Autumn Festival evolved from the moon worship during the autumnal equinox. The autumnal equinox is just a few days away from the Mid-Autumn Festival. Fu Shi was quite sensible and did not wait until winter to execute him.

After the waiters served the meal, they all quietly left with Qu Niang, leaving only the three guests in the room.

It was said that they invited Yuan Congqian to listen to music, but that was of course false.

Wei Yanwu repeatedly confirmed that no one would eavesdrop before starting today's secret conversation.

He started off by revealing a hot topic, "After my father got Fu Ni's body, he whipped it three times with a whip and took his head away for embalming."

Yuan Congqian, who was drinking, almost choked.

He even didn't let go of the corpse and whipped it, which shows how angry the real dragon was.

All his efforts so far have been to leave a good reputation in history, so that the history books will say that his reign was a prosperous era. As a result, Fu Tingzhao and the Fu family left him a stain that can never be washed away!

"Only you would have dared to persuade my father to spare Fu Qianming's life at that time."

Wei Yanwu shook his head and sighed, "When I saw his beard standing up in anger, I thought he was going to take that old man Fu Qianming in and torture him to death, but it turns out he had another plan."

"Fu Qianming has cultivated his reputation in the capital, and the story of the Taiwei's childhood is widely circulated. If we rashly touch him when he still has a reputation for loving talents and being filial, it might even have the opposite effect."

"So, if we keep him alive, all these reputations will become ours? That's true. It wasn't easy for him and his brother to climb all the way to the position of Grand Marshal. We have finally fattened him up, and it would be a pity to burn him directly. Maybe you have a solution."

Wei Yanwu and Yuan Congqian clinked glasses.

"The Western Pharmacy is also very good. It's really hard for you. Now it is gradually growing into a decent business. It's a pity that the seedlings are still too young. There are only some students running the business. It still makes people feel that it is not stable enough."

The average age of people working in Western pharmacies may be the highest.

Yuan Congqian himself did not dislike the students and said with a smile:

"Why rush for success? If you want to achieve something for Da Yan, there is a limit to your own imagination. If you start training students from now on, in three to five years, they will be able to open branches in various places."

Wei Yanwu nodded continuously.

This cousin of his is good in every way except that he is too naive.

He was too insensitive to the political intrigues, and he didn't even react when he was involved in the fight for the throne, and he had to protect himself before he knew it. Maybe there must be advantages in every defect, but he was born with a talent for business, and he ran the Western pharmacy very well, and even solved the problem of doctors.

Originally, the channels for western medicine were controlled by Si Suitai, and everyone knew what kind of person that old man Fu Tingzhao was. If one wanted to buy western medicine from the capital, they could only buy it at a high price on the black market. I don't know how much money he made.

The more Wei Yanwu looked at Yuan Congqian, the more he liked him. He suddenly thought of the Ursus people and said, "I heard that the Ursus people also agreed to build an industrial platform for you? Have you chosen the location? Do you need my help?"

"The Shaofu has a position. The money owed by the Western Pharmacy to the Shaofu is increasing. The Shaofu is more and more eager to invest in the Western Pharmacy, provide people and land, and the location of the industrial platform has been initially selected in the town outside the city."

"The Ursus people are gradually infiltrating Longmen. I originally intended to settle in Longmen and get rid of the Ursus people entrenched there. Now the connection between the Western Pharmacy and the Ursus people is getting closer. You must be careful. If you are unsure, come and ask me."

Wei Yanwu was nagging like an elder brother, repeatedly reminding Yuan Congqian to be careful of the Ursus.

In the original plot, he went to Longmen and worked with the Rat King Lin Gerui to drive the black snake out of Longmen, which led to Longmen's prosperity for decades and the opportunity to establish itself as a new economic center in the war among the countries.

This reminded Yuan Congqian that there was still a black snake occupying Longmen, and he had to find an opportunity to get rid of Lao Deng.

"When will it be completed? I will prepare a gift for you."

"It will take a month for the construction team to arrive, and it will probably take a year or so for the construction to be completed. We can't be impatient."

Wei Yanwu nodded: "Yes, that's true. During this period of time, you should study hard in the Imperial College. I will help you transfer to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and find a few people who can help you. Don't worry about the affairs of the court. I will assign you two shadow guards..."

Chapter 21: The Choice of Place for Foreign Relocation (Additional Chapter )

Reading was impossible.

Yuan Congqian has no time to play with his students.

But after getting rid of the two old men of the Fu family, one of whom was a threat to him, and the other was flogged, he found that all he could do in the capital was to deeply cultivate his inner strength and sort out the internal administration of the Western Pharmacy. The industrial platform construction team was on the way, and there was no factory, so what could he do?

Administrative organization is Yuan Congqian's weak point, and he doesn't need to do it personally. Dayan has many experts who are good at it to do it.

"You've paid attention to Ursus, and you should know that they are about to sound the horn of war again. All the countries around them are hostile countries that have started wars. I think there is a lot of hatred among the people, which gives Dayan an opportunity."

Yuan Congqian wrote the process directly according to the answer.

"Ursus can plunder the economy of Da Yan through Longmen, and Da Yan can naturally plunder the economy of Ursus in the name of Ursus Canteen. If the enemy can go, I can go too. We should make preparations early."

Emperor Vladimir of Ursus, who grew up in the Four Emperors' War, may not be the best and most ambitious Tsar, but he is definitely the Tsar who enjoys fighting the most. He led Ursus to madly increase its troops on the road of war, even fighting Sami and the East Country, and the tenth Urka War would start in a few years.

Ursus' entry into the war is also an opportunity for the Great Yan economy to take off.

Wei Yanwu was stunned for a moment, then he thought about it carefully and clapped his hands in praise: "The many manifestations of Ursus are indeed signs of war. Good vision! If Ursus can come, then Da Yan can certainly go too! How exactly is it going to be implemented?"

"The Western Pharmacy needs to find a place outside the capital to prepare for industrial construction for export to Ursus."

"Export to Ursus?"

"Within two years, prepare our beverage factory and canning factory, and let them recognize that only Yan Country can produce delicious food that suits their people's tastes. It would be best if canned food is selected as military rations by Ursus."

Wei Yanwu asked, "How can you plunder the Ursus economy by just providing drinks and canned food?"

He felt that many truths that he had not clearly understood were emerging in Yuan Congqian's words, but he only had a vague feeling, like touching a woman's skin through many layers of gauze, unable to see clearly.

"We will first use light industry to make the people of Dayan rich and well-fed, freeing up labor, and then we will develop our own heavy industry. At the current stage, we will first make Dayan a canteen for the Ursus people."

"And then?" Wei Yanwu asked anxiously.

"Ursus is a country with developed heavy industry and does not encourage the development of light industry among the private sector. The industrial platforms acquired by the Western Pharmacy are mainly based on the light industrial platform models that they have shelved for a long time."

Yuan Congqian talked about the process with the answer in hand, and naturally he became more and more confident as he spoke.

"Ursus is caught in the flames of war. Naturally, their country has to focus on heavy industry that produces military weapons. Their light industry is probably now in a state of being abandoned. Now, it's too late for them to develop!"

What he didn't say was that after the tenth Wuka War, a major rebellion would break out in Ursus, causing Ursus to suffer a Waterloo in the Battle of Blood Peak. At that time, it would be the time for Yan Nation to truly reap the rewards in Ursus.

"I see!"

Wei Yanwu slammed the table and stood up.

If he were Ursus, knowing that there was a diplomatically conservative country behind him willing to be his canteen, he would probably be very happy and would not have thought about what would happen if the canteen was contracted out to outsiders.

To the Ursus people who were at war, this was a perfect solution with no disadvantages.

Yan State swallowed up Ursus's relatively advanced light industry, gradually encroached on the ethnic non-staple food factories in Ursus, increased foreign exchange and ensured that the people of Yan State had enough food. Yan State had no idea how many times it had won.

"Then I'll have to choose a place for you."

Wei Yanwu's mind suddenly became clear, and he began to follow Yuan Congqian's ideas.

He needed to choose a place for Yuan Congqian to work hard, and Wei Yanwu also needed to train his own team in the capital.

Wei Yanwu immediately started thinking. Yuan Congqian needed a mobile city with good transportation, population, and labor force, and with an undeveloped industrial style and a relatively backward economy, to be transformed by Yuan Congqian into a production plant and warehouse for Da Yan's exports to Ursus.

Go to a place to develop for a year, and then come back to discuss future development.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if cousins ​​worked together to reform Yan State's now corrupt politics and economy?

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yuan Congqian tapped the table lightly with his fingers and began to think about a more suitable place.

Southern cities such as Gouwu City, Shangshu City, and Jiangqi City, which are too far away from Longmen, are naturally abandoned because the transportation costs cannot be recovered. Danyan and Langyi are too close to the northeast of Dayan, and Terra has no sea transportation, so they are naturally abandoned.

So, should I go to Longmen in advance and drive out the black snake?
