"As expected of a time-honored brand; Comrade Shangguan, your father is willing to sell so many medicinal seeds?" Li Wen checked and found that these seeds were in very good condition and seemed to have been specially reserved.

"I'll give it up after selling everything. I'm going to sell the store anyway. It doesn't matter if I sell it, out of sight out of mind." Shangguan Duzhong said with a sigh.

"It's better to sell than to jointly operate. This is a wise choice." Li Wen said firmly.

"I'm not willing to give in! Hundreds of years of Baicaotang has been broken in my hands." Shangguan Duzhong said this, and he choked up a little.

Li Wen also understood Shangguan Duzhong's mood very well. Just imagine who would be willing to sell his well-run business at a cheap price!

However, Li Wen was not familiar with Guan Duzhong, and he didn't want to be a bad person, so a few kind reminders were all he needed.

"Okay, Comrade Shangguan, you don't have to be sad. As long as people are still there, knowledge is better than anything else. You should quickly calculate how much it will cost. It's getting late."

Despite his young age, Shangguan Eucommia is surprisingly good at calculating. In just ten minutes, all the prices for hundreds of seeds were calculated.

"These are rare medicinal seeds, and the price is relatively high, a total of 823. Just give me 800 yuan for the last time." Shangguan Eucommia put down his abacus and said.

"Ha! There are quite a few."

Li Wen originally thought it would cost only two to three hundred yuan at most, but he didn't expect that these four to five hundred kilograms of medicinal seeds were actually worth a thousand yuan. No wonder food is said to be the least valuable.

However, Li Wen did not bargain with Guan Duzhong, which meant that he was planning to sell the shop and let him get a bargain, otherwise they would not necessarily sell him.

"Comrade Shangguan, please count, this is 800 yuan." Li Wen took out a stack of big black tens from his pocket, pulled out twenty cards and handed them over.

Shangguan Duzhong looked like he had seen big money before, and handed over a stack of big black coins. He didn't even say a word of surprise, he took the banknotes and quickly started counting them.

"800 yuan is no problem. Comrade Li, please wait a moment. I'll have someone wrap these medicinal materials in paper for you and mark them so you can identify them when you go back." Shangguan Duzhong collected the money and shouted into the room.

After a few calls, four or five young men and women came out.

"Xuelian, you and your brother wrap these seeds in yellow paper and write your names on them." Shangguan Duzhong said to a girl about twenty years old.

"Okay!" The young woman smiled and nodded.

Li Wen was watching Shangguan Eucommia and several others packing seeds when a voice came from behind, "Little comrade, what do you need so many medicinal seeds for?"

"Comrade Li, this is my father." Shangguan Duzhong raised his head and introduced with a smile.

"Hello, uncle!" Li Wen smiled and nodded, greeting.

"Comrade, I heard you chatting with Quanzi just now. You said selling is better than joint venture, what do you mean?" Shangguan Yunshan asked with a smile.

"Of course the business philosophy is different! You have been in business for hundreds of years, so you naturally have your own set of methods, and you have the final say."

"And a joint venture is a joint stock, so naturally the two companies have the final say, private or public, you decide..." Li Wen said with a chuckle.

"Is there no other way out?" Shangguan Yunshan was stunned for a while after hearing Li Wen's words, and asked with a flushed face.

Li Wen looked at Shangguan Yunshan with a strange expression and did not continue.

Shangguan Duzhong on the side looked a little embarrassed at the scene and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Comrade Li, just now my father asked you why you bought so many seeds. Isn't it convenient for you to tell me?"

"Of course it has been planted. Now that Western medicine construction has the upper hand, Xia Medicine has almost become a magician."

"A good woman cannot make a meal without rice, and a good doctor cannot do without good medicinal materials. In recent years, due to the substantial increase in population, most of the land has been planted with food, and with the popularization of Western medicine, good medicinal materials have become increasingly scarce."

"I collected these seeds naturally to find a place where medicinal materials can be planted on a large scale to supply medicinal materials to Xia Yi, so as to prevent Xia Yi from declining due to lack of good medicines." Li Wen said with a sigh.

"Little comrade, you have such ambition at such a young age. It's really admirable!" Shangguan Yunshan was very excited when he heard Li Wen's words.

Shangguan's Baicaotang sounds like a pharmacy, but Xia medicine has always been about medicine and medicine. They diagnose and treat in the back and dispense medicine in the front.

Baicaotang is naturally no exception. The Shangguan family has been selling medicine for generations, and naturally they have been practicing medicine for generations. Each clan member has his or her own division of labor.

Shangguan Yunshan is a Xia doctor. Hearing Li Wen's words, he deeply agreed. In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult for them to collect medicinal materials, and many suppliers have completely stopped.

The current Baicaotang is completely resting on its laurels. Even if it does not cooperate, it will not be able to survive for long. There is no difference between a doctor without medicine and a soldier without a gun.

Because of the lack of medicinal materials, Baicaotang's business has naturally become worse and worse. Because of the shortage of medicinal materials, it is often difficult to cure illnesses, and its reputation has dropped a lot.

The Xia medicine and medicinal herbs of Daxia can only be described as mysterious.

Because the growing year, region, and even temperature and humidity of herbs are different, the same medicinal material will have different medicinal properties.

Throughout the ages, skilled Xia doctors have personally purchased medicinal herbs and prepared Xia medicines. Only in this way can they accurately grasp the properties of the medicinal materials and prescribe the right medicine to cure the disease.

And now that we are in the planning era, Baicaotang naturally has no way to purchase it on its own.

This is what we saw on TV in later generations. The doctor prescribed a prescription and some patients remembered it. The next time the disease happened again, the patient took the medicine by himself in order to save the consultation fee. Unexpectedly, not only did he not take the medicine well, but it became more serious.

This is the magic of Xia medicine. It is not that Xia medicine cannot cure diseases, but that the inheritance is broken and there is a problem with the supply of medicinal materials.

Li Wen remembers that he visited some places in later generations. The locals planted medicinal materials and applied fertilizers vigorously. When such medicinal materials mature, are they medicines or poisons? So it is not that Xia Yi is not awesome, but that he is too awesome and rigorous.

Caused it to be lost.

"Then where are you going to plant these several hundred kilograms of seeds? At least four to five thousand acres of land will be needed." Shangguan Yunshan asked excitedly.

"Don't focus on one place! Go wherever there are no restrictions." Li Wen glanced at Shangguan Yunshan and said with deep meaning.

"You mean?" Shangguan Duzhong's eyes lit up.

"Okay, Comrade Shangguan, do you have a cart to sell me one? I can't bring so many medicinal materials." Li Wen quickly changed the subject.
