In a few steps, the Lotus Hall arrived.

The long street was filled with crowds and crowded with people. Zhao Shi and Shutong looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.

"This... why are there people in the medicine shops crowded?" Zhao Shi said in confusion, "What's there to grab? Medicine is not auspicious thing?"

The book boy laughed, "Young Master, you don't understand this. Since ancient times, the most profitable business of medicine shops and coffin shops has been. Think about it, people don't want to be sick when they are alive, and they want to be buried when they die. This is the reason!"

Dong, Zhao Shi knocked Shutong's head and cursed, "You know a lot! Lead the way!"

~~

"I'll say to you!"

Lianhuatang is a large pharmacy covering an area of ​​thirteen rooms, with 120 men and eighteen men and women. It can seek medical treatment and sell medicines.

There is a store on the street, a warehouse in the backyard, a dormitory for the guys, and a business room with the shopkeepers and others.

There was a table of banquets in the office room. Zhang He, the shopkeeper of the Lotus Hall, sat in the main seat, smiling at the table and spoke to the colleagues on the table.

These colleagues are the shopkeepers and owners of major pharmacies in the capital. The so-called "no rules" cannot be square, and the pharmacies are special and are a unique business. In order to communicate with each other, they organized the pharmacies chamber of commerce. The president is the shopkeepers and owners of major pharmacies with strong funds and wide connections, and take turns to serve as the managers and owners of major pharmacies with strong funds and wide connections.

The president of the Pharmaceutical Chamber of Commerce this year is the shopkeeper of the Lotus Hall.

Lianhuatang is also a time-honored brand in Beijing. It has been open for at least 20 years. I don’t know who I will get involved in this year, and it’s becoming more and more amazing.

"Everyone!" Zhang He held the wine glass and smiled, "I'll invite you here today, there's something to discuss!"

"You are polite!" Everyone bowed and smiled.

"This matter is a great thing, a great thing involving our business!" Zhang He was in his forties, and his scholar looked very easy-going before he spoke. He whispered, "Everyone, I heard that the letter was not there, and there was a disaster in Huaibei!"

Everyone nodded, and the big businessmen were always paying attention to the court.

"It's a big disaster at this time!" Baoshengtang's old boss, Zhong Zhensheng, who was in his early 60s, sighed and said, "It's just after March, the spring cold is cold again, and it's Yanyang again. When the cold and cold are alternately alternating, it is easy to breed patients. The Huaibei floods, and the victims are both afraid of cold and afraid. People with strong bodies may just be cold in their bodies, so the elderly and children should not be careful!"

"It is worthy of being a family of medicine and a century of inheritance!" Zhang He flattered.

The Zhong family is a family of imperial doctors. In the past two generations, they were imperial doctors in the court and had a deep family education. Zhong Zhensheng often gave free consultations and medicines to poor people, and he has a good reputation.

Then, Zhang He looked around for a while and smiled, "Really speaking, I don't mean this. After all, people must have a bit of compassion. But business is business, and they cannot be confused!"

Everyone looked different and listened to him talking.

"The Huaibei floods, and the imperial court is afraid of plague. The Ministry of Works has ordered to start purchasing medicinal materials. Among them are raw and cooked medicines, as well as various preparatory medicines!" Zhang He glanced at everyone, "Come on, drink!"

Among the people at the table, some people were laughing out loud.

The fastest and most reliable way for the imperial court to purchase medicinal materials is to purchase them from pharmacies like them. It is impossible to find drug dealers from all over the country. If that is true, I am afraid that before the medicines from all over the country will be transported, the disease in Huaibei will start.

"Procure the finished medicine? I'm afraid there is no need to do this?" Zhong Zhensheng said, "The so-called epidemic prevention is the main focus, and diseases are accumulated. Now, there is no opportunity to prevent minor and serious illnesses!" As he said, he pondered, "If the court purchased it, the price of finished medicines is too high, and the price of cooked medicines will inevitably increase. Well, in fact, there are ways to do this in this situation that are not too much money and safe!"

"What Mr. Zhong said!" Li Jinnan, the owner of Jishitang Pharmacy next to him, echoed, "Some are cheap prescriptions, easy to use and easy to use!"

Speaking of these prescriptions, Zhong Zhensheng couldn't hold back and smiled with his fingers, "I'll say a few, please see if there are any falls." Then, he paused and continued, "Well... after the flood, it is exposed to the sun. The most convenient thing to remove the poison and heat is to add cabbage roots and chrysanthemums, and take a cover while it is hot to get sweat!"

"If it is wind and cold, boil the dragon sausage in water. If there is phlegm, orange peel and red astragalus..."

As he said that, he paused again, "If it is more serious, then he will have to use Bupleurum and gypsum. If the old heat does not fade, honeysuckle forsythia..."

"Actually, it's fine if it's young and strong ginger water!" someone next to him laughed.

"If the child has fever!" Li Jinnan said, "Corella root and leaves, ginger and white radish. The child is sick quickly, but heals quickly. And for children, if you can do not use medicine, you will not use medicine. It is three parts poisonous..."

"Cough cough!" Zhang He saw that the more he talked, he became more and more distorted, so he quickly coughed a few times.

Suddenly, several people who had just discussed the prescription looked over incomprehensible.

"I am the president of the pharmacy chamber of commerce. I have to consider our entire pharmacy!" Zhang He smiled, "The prescriptions mentioned by several old men just now are still slow to take effect and have great risks. Think about it, if you really use these prescriptions, if you don't cure people, you will die... so-called cheap but not good products..."

"Shopkeeper Zhang's words are different!" Zhong Zhensheng said dissatisfied, "Medicine is not a product! When we are in medicine, the ancestors left behind famous sayings. They would rather put medicine on them and make dust than see patients in the world. Treating diseases should not only consider the patient's illness, but also refer to the materials of people, treating rich people with rich methods, and living a poor way. Although these prescriptions are inconspicuous, they are not earth-based prescriptions that come up with a slap in the forehead?"

"Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Shennong Bencao Classic, and Huangdi Neijing have evidence. If the imperial court wants to purchase medicinal materials, it will naturally be too fast, save money and cure diseases. As you said, buying medicines is not going to be far away?"

"You immortal!" Zhang He cursed in his heart.

But he was still smiling, but the smile became intriguing, "You know these prescriptions, and we have a few of them in our hands, but the court doesn't know?"

After he said this, Zhong Zhensheng, Li Jinnan and others changed color.

"In order to prevent the plague after the flood, the officials in the court must have spared no expense. Are they sick? The sooner the sooner it can be cured. It is related to my people in the Ming Dynasty, so they cannot tolerate three words slowly! Our Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the most wise words, are the four words "resolute and decisive!"

When everyone heard this, they understood.

Zhong Zhensheng sneered, "What do you mean? Ah, I understand." As he said that, he sneered again, "But, all the sages in the court must buy our patent medicine?"

"You are right!" Zhang He smiled, "I am the president of the Pharmaceutical Industry Chamber of Commerce. I naturally heard the wind when I communicate with you. So..." As he said that, he drank a little wine and continued to smile, "Whether it is a good or a cooked medicine, there are only so many inventory of each company. After the court purchased it, we will have nothing in our hands."

"There is a saying that things are precious because they are rare. Today, I am calling you to say that this price is a simplified person?"

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "The price of rice and flour has increased in the year of the disaster. We living people cannot be as expensive as matches, right?"

As the words came to an end, someone was already smiling on the table.

Pharmaceuticals are a solo business, and there is no other way except for them. So the money... isn't it profitable?

"Treat the disease, save lives and help the wounded, is the duty of medicine!" Zhong Zhensheng stood up tremblingly and said, "Another, the year of great disaster is when we accumulate good deeds, so we should raise the price?"

As he said that, his eyes glanced at everyone, "Everyone, do you still remember what our ancestors said? In the world, there is a doctor first, and there is a doctor first and then there is a medicine. We sell medicine for a livelihood, but we must also know that medicine is not for money from the beginning!"

The words were loud and everyone was ashamed.

"Besides, hum!" Zhong Zhensheng looked at Zhang He, "Why do we need to accumulate good deeds? Because it is an unethical business to exchange medicine for money and grasp other people's lifelines. Why do our ancestors teach us that if we meet widowed, widowed, orphans, old, weak, sick and disabled, and poor families, we should give convenience to others?"

"Why did my ancestors tell us to help the world with our hearts? It's just to be afraid of retribution!"

"Old Zhong!" Zhang He stood up, "You are so serious!"

"If you want to make a fortune by this, you will be obeyed by the Lotus Hall!" Zhong Zhensheng picked up the crutch, "My Baosheng Hall is definitely not a mess!"

"The same is true for my Jishitang!"

"And I also have my Tongdetang!"

Several people stood up one after another, surrounded Zhong Zhensheng and left.

There are almost a dozen people at the table, some of whom are ashamed and some are angry, and some are sneered and silent.

"Shopkeeper Zhang..." Someone said, "They...?"

"Fake aloof!" Zhang He said hatred, "Whoever is not a bunch of friends wants to support him, and who is not behind his back is mainly due to the wealth. Your Baoshengtang family has a great business, but we have to live!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people agreed.

"He doesn't know how to be polite, so don't blame us for being polite!" Zhang He sneered, "He thought he was aloof, but he actually blocked other people's way of wealth. What are we? Some people rule them!"

"Yes, yes!" Everyone nodded.

"It's not only the court's purchases that need to raise the price!" Zhang He said again, "When the season changes, Huaibei is flooded, and the capital will not be safe. So, from today on, the medicines sold in our store and the medics will be intensified!"

"Hey!" he said, raising his hand, "And, you can't sell it openly. It's so rare that things are expensive! You can sell it with a stretch."

Someone thought a little bit, "Shopkeeper Zhang, if this disease doesn't arise..."

"Don't worry!" Zhang He took a bite of the coriander and chuckled, "It's definitely up!" He said, whispering, "When the news of the epidemic after the Huaibei flood came, I'm not sick and panic!"

"What if he didn't make a fuss?" the man asked.

"Stupid!" Zhang He laughed, "Did the people in the capital watch? The news is like a disease, but they are all dispersed!"

As he said that, he raised his glass and said, "This is not open for three years, and it will take three years to open for three years. If their families don't come, we will save trouble! Don't worry about them making trouble. Only a few people talked about it. If they don't want to betray their relatives and be squeezed out by various families, he can only close the door and tell them those noble lies to himself! Drink!"

~~

Twist, footsteps came from outside.

The second cabinet of Lianhuatang stood outside the door, "Big shopkeeper, the young master is here!"

"Which young master?" Zhang He was puzzled.

"I'm kind to you!" Ergui said, just three words.

"Oh!" Zhang He in the room stood up and bowed, "Everyone drinks first, I'm not here to accompany you!"

"Who?" someone asked curiously, "Which young master?"

"Haha!" Zhang He smiled mysteriously, "Anyway, he is the eldest young master who can't afford to offend!"

After saying that, he walked out the door.

He looked back at his back and smiled in his heart, "It's also the God of Wealth!"

Then he faced the second cabinet again, "How long have you been here? Who did you come with?"

"As soon as I came, I brought two followers and dressed in casual clothes!" Ergui said quickly, "I heard that this young master is Xijing's temperament, so I quickly invited him to the back hall!"

~~

At this moment, Zhang He had just walked to the front yard.

Suddenly, several soldiers and officers with their eyebrows and eyes broke in at the door and shouted at the door, "Where is the shopkeeper?"

Zhang He didn't even look at it and said to Ergui, "I'll say hello to the young master first, please give these dogs two money, and you'll get rid of them!"
