Pastoral Tea Fragrance: The High Price Medical Concubine

Chapter 87: Happy to Get a Strange Plant (3)
After arguing for a long time, Lu Jinyao went up the mountain to find Shangguanfeng today, just to propose a plan to open a warehouse to release grain.

To open a warehouse to release grain, there must be grain first.Although Chunyang Temple is a Taoist temple, food is also limited.

And now there is no famine, what is the purpose of opening a warehouse to release food when you have nothing to do?

Lu Jinyao pretended not to hear, but said: "Uncle, now the Diao family has been stolen, and the only grain store and oil mill in our local area is owned by the Diao family. They have no food, so what are they selling? What are they using to extract the oil?"

"The Diao family can continue to purchase grain..." Shangguanfeng shook his head.

"This year's harvest is good. The Diao family deliberately took away a large amount of grain at a very low price. The farmer only has his own rations left. Who will sell it to him?"

Shangguan Feng said: "He can go to other places to purchase, or increase the purchase price, and he will always receive food."

Lu Jinyao looked worried about the country and the people: "The Diao family took away the grain from the farmers at a very low price. In order to earn a few more coppers, the farmers had to sell the grain that was originally rations, and they themselves There is nothing to eat. In the end, if you want to eat flour, stick noodles, etc., don’t you have to go to the Diao’s house to buy them? All the good things have been taken by the Diao’s family, and all the money has been earned by the Diao’s family. Killing."

Shangguan Feng was not confused, but he was originally a chivalrous man who was good at catching thieves, thieves, demons and ghosts, but he was not very proficient in economic matters. It was only after hearing Lu Jinyao's words that he suddenly understood.

"These grains originally belonged to the farmers, and it is a kind act of Chunyangguan to open a warehouse to release the grain." Lu Jinyao said this, in disguise, admitting that all the grain purchased by the Diao family is in his own hands. "Now the Diao family wants to buy grain. It is inevitable to raise the price, and when they have almost purchased, Chunyangguan will open a warehouse to release grain, so that the farmers will have both money and food, and they can severely hit the Diao family and let them lose their food and wealth, so why not Why?"

"It's a good move, so let's do it like this." Shangguanfeng also wanted to punish the Diao family for a long time, but now that he is old and has a high status, it is not easy to directly attack the Diao family.If he was young, he would have rushed into Diao's house with a sword and forced Diao De to distribute the family wealth to the poor.

Lu Jinyao didn't say a word: distributing food to farmers through the hands of Chunyangguan can only be regarded as vicious competition, although the Diao family never used any benign means.In this way, the King Ling who lives in Diao's house will not come to make trouble.

She didn't think that Diao Deyi could have such a big face to command Lingwang.Maybe Ling Wang will leave in two days.

After leaving the food in Chunyang Temple, Lu Jinyao went down the mountain and went home.

Going down the mountain this time, everything on my mind was gone, and it was extremely easy.

Thinking of the precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum brought back by glutinous rice in the space, Lu Jinyao was eager to try and make them all into medicinal wine.

Medicinal wine needs to soak for a long time. Fortunately, the flow of time in the space is different from that of the outside world, so it is just right to do it.

As Lu Jinyao expected, the Diao family really raised the purchase price of grain, and the farmers sold their rations to the Diao family again for a small sum of money, but they were still worried about what their family would eat.

After the Diao family bought some grain, they raised the prices of flour, stick noodles, millet, and oil sold in the store, three times higher than before. It is estimated that even the prices of grain and oil in the capital are not so high.

Just when Diao Deyi was proud of his strategy, Chunyang Temple actually found an excuse to open a warehouse to release grain, and sold the grain at a very low price, that is, the price of a few copper coins. Purchase limit, otherwise, it would be meaningless if all were bought by one person.

Diao Deyi's plan was destroyed, and the last time he was hit by the theft, he was so angry that he lay on the bed moaning and couldn't get up.

But at this time, the spirit king left Shandong with Diao Deyi's eldest grandson, Diao Dadiao, who had spiritual roots, and went to find a quiet place to practice.Without a big backer, the Diao family can no longer continue to pretend to be powerful, and they are devastated.

After learning that there was no threat to Diao's family for the time being, Lu Jinyao devoted all her energy to pharmaceuticals and opening a clothing store.

She also developed several new medicines with excellent effects, together with the brewed medicinal wine, sent them to Renhetang for sale, and made a lot of money.

For the ready-to-wear shop, Yun Zeyu was asked to help buy the silk and satin, and he was also asked to recruit some skilled and reliable embroiderers in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and hired a reliable, experienced and trustworthy shopkeeper to manage the shop. I also found a few clever, lovable, and kind-hearted guys, and picked an auspicious day, which is considered to be the official opening.

After Lu Jinyao finished drawing the styles of the clothes, he would send them over with the birds raised in the space, and the embroiderers would then make them.

The price Lu Jinyao gave was high, the benefits were good, and there were a few days of vacation every month. The embroiderers were all happy to meet a good employer.

As for the way the shop is run, Lu Jinyao also commands the shopkeeper remotely through letters.

The shopkeeper's surname is Zhang, who is close to 40 years old and very experienced, but he is also convinced by the sales and promotion plans that Lu Jinyao came up with, and vows to live up to Lu Jinyao's trust and run the shop well.

Lu Jinyao stipulated that the shop must report the accounts every three months. Although she didn't like to read the accounts, this was her own business, and Lu Jinyao couldn't do it if she didn't care.

One-third of the money she earned before was invested in the ready-made clothing store, and the remaining two-thirds was used as working capital, part of it was saved, and the other part was used.

The life of the Lu family has been greatly improved now, but the elders have told the younger generation not to be extravagant and wasteful.Lu Jinyao gave some money to the family every month, and the parents and grandma would not accept it if there were too many. In the end, it was decided to give the family 2000 taels a month for household use.

Lu Bingwen felt very sorry for Lu Jinyao: "Jin Yao, Daddy is useless, and you need to earn money to support the family."

"Father, what are you talking about? I have made money but have nowhere to spend it. And I also want my father, mother, grandma, brother and younger siblings to live a good life. Dad can live in our north and south How can you be incompetent? Only Dad can do such a miracle in the whole world. However, no matter how good a horse is, it needs Bole to discover it. Dad just hasn’t met a noble person.”

Lu Jinyao took Lu Bingwen's hand and spoke like an adult.

Lu Bingwen smiled: "Jin Yao is a good boy. He wants to be filial to his elders and care for his brothers and sisters. Daddy doesn't want to be rich and powerful, but just wants the whole family to live a happy and healthy life. It's just that as a man, I can't make money. Enough money to support the family, I am really sorry for you..."

"Father, everyone has their own good and bad things, you don't need to worry about these things." Lu Jinyao said seriously.
