The two-day 'holiday' passed quickly. Apart from negotiating a business deal and ordering a bunch of weapons, the rest of the time was basically spent in bed.

Because I am worried about getting 404, I won’t go into details here.

Anyway, when Wei Cheng ended her retreat, she had lost weight and had a pair of black eyes. She looked like she had not eaten, drank or slept for two days and two nights.

Cai Yan was so distressed that she quickly asked Aunt Niu to make a pot of dragon and tiger soup.

The dragon is the big carp in the Yellow River, and the tiger is the real tiger. It has been a big pot of water, a great tonic!

Wei Cheng ate most of the pot and had a nosebleed that night.

Cai Yan almost asked Hao Niang to put out the fire, but in the end Wei Cheng refused righteously, saying that the gun went off. Wei Cheng felt that if he kept inserting it, the thing would peel off.

The most important thing is that Hao Niang will not turn eighteen until half a year later.

No punishment means no punishment!

After a real night's rest, it wasn't until the third day that Wei Cheng appeared in front of everyone in full swing.

Arrive at the North Guards Station of the city.

Wei Cheng immediately summoned Tian Feng.

"Young master, what you mean is that you want to exchange grain for herbs?"

"Yes, Bingzhou has a vast territory and rich resources. Various medicinal herbs can be found everywhere in the mountains and fields, but there are more poor people who cannot eat."

Of course, Wei Cheng would not tell the truth. He only said that he collected the herbs to refine the elixir.

Tian Feng frowned and said: "However, our current food is only enough for three months. If we use food to exchange for herbal medicine, we may not be able to survive even one month. People outside Hedong will definitely use herbal medicine in exchange for food.

of."

Wei Teng smiled nonchalantly and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I have a way to solve the problem of food, and it's fine grain of good quality."

"This..." Tian Feng was still worried.

Wei Cheng took out a piece of paper directly from his arms, handed it to him, and said: "Okay, you just do as I said. The place where the herbal medicines will be exchanged will be in Shuofang in the future. It is also part of our plan. However,

You have to help me get this first batch done first."

Anyi is the political center and Shuofang is the economic center. This is the tone that Wei Cheng set early on.

Tian Feng took the paper and unfolded it. He looked at it and saw that there were only twenty kinds of herbs, each costing about one thousand dan. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Wei Cheng said again: "This is a month's supply. From now on, I will ask for this much every month. Don't forget it."

Tian Feng opened his mouth and finally agreed honestly.

He didn't know why Wei Cheng suddenly wanted so many herbs, but based on his understanding of Wei Cheng, it must be some great invention.

Just like the previous frostbite ointment, I don’t know how many people’s hands and feet have been saved. You must know that every winter in the past, some people had their hands and feet frozen, and they had to cut them off as a last resort.

There is also the golden sore medicine provided by the city guard, which is very effective in stopping bleeding and can save many lives on the battlefield.

Tian Feng sighed softly, picked up the arithmetic chips on the side and began to fiddle with them.

In the Han Dynasty, one stone was equal to about thirty kilograms, and one thousand stones was equal to thirty thousand kilograms, which is equivalent to 1.5 tons in later generations.

Taking forsythia as an example, one kilogram in later generations cost about sixty or seventy yuan, and 1.5 tons of goods per month was equivalent to 210,000 yuan.

Of course, the purchase price is definitely not that expensive, but don’t forget, there are a total of twenty kinds of herbs on the list.

If the average shipping price of a product is 50 yuan, the total transaction volume will reach 3 million per month; in twelve months a year, it is a big deal of 36 million.

In later generations, a pound of shelled wheat cost less than two yuan. This business was a huge profit!

Wei Cheng sat on the chair leisurely and said, "I'll give you seven days. After seven days, I want to see all the herbs. It's a big deal. Don't let me down."

Seeing the seriousness with which he spoke, Tian Feng nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will go and supervise the matter right away."

Wei Cheng gave a satisfied 'hmm' and then said: "By the way, it's very hard to go up the mountain to collect herbs. Don't be too harsh on those farmers. You can give them more food."

Tian Feng was stunned and asked: "How much is appropriate?"

Wei Cheng thought about his profit margin, then pursed his lips and said, "How about exchanging one pound of herbs for ten pounds of grain?"

Tian Feng was stunned when he heard this, "One to ten, then I can go and collect herbs."

Wei Cheng didn't expect his reaction to be so big, so he laughed and said: "Well, you can figure it out yourself. Anyway, don't let people think I'm too stingy. Don't worry, I've already asked people to prepare the food, and I will never let it go."

There is another food shortage in Anyi."

Tian Feng thought of Xun Ruo who was still in the south. Did the young master ask Xun Wenruo to collect food?

After bowing respectfully to Wei Cheng, Tian Feng hurried away.

About half an hour later.

Notices were posted at the four city gates of Anyi County and the big clock tower in the center.

Someone put a shelf under the notice, with twenty kinds of herbs on it, some fresh and some dried and prepared.

Many people gathered under the notice.

There were many children from aristocratic families among them. When they saw the content on the notice, they turned around and left one by one, their faces excited and panicked.

The reason why the children of the aristocratic families are so scrambling is mainly because the landlords have no surplus food.

The rest are some illiterate mountain folk and coolies.

"One pound of prepared herbs is exchanged for three pounds of grain, and one pound of fresh herbs is exchanged for one pound. This business is doable."

"What, what, one pound of herbs and three pounds of grain, can anyone help me read it?"

"Hey, the herbs on this shelf are all in the ditch in front of my house. I thought they were weeds!"

"Young, what is your surname, brother?"

One stone caused thousands of waves, and Wei Cheng's behavior of exchanging grain for herbs was so unexpected.

When the elders of the Wei clan got the news and tried to stop it, it was already too late.

"Isn't this nonsense, hey you... why is this kid starting to waste his family?" Fifth Uncle Wei Yan was heartbroken.

However, the second uncle Wei Min seemed to have noticed something and found Wei Cheng that night.

Wei Cheng had long expected that his second uncle would come to him for questioning, so he directly took out a bottle of potion and handed it to him.

Wei Ming unscrewed the bottle cork curiously, and a pungent smell of decoction hit his nostrils.

Wei Cheng smiled and said: "This medicine is called Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid, and I am in retreat this time just for it."

Wei Min couldn't stand the smell of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, so he quickly tightened the cork and asked curiously: "What's the magic of this potion?"

Wei Cheng recalled it and talked about it: "It has endless magical uses, especially in the hot summer. It is not only a good medicine to relieve summer heat, but can also treat heavy headaches, chest and diaphragm tightness, epigastric distension and pain, vomiting and diarrhea."

Wei Min's eyes lit up, "So, you collected those herbs specifically for it?"

Wei Qing picked up the teacup awkwardly, nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, with this Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid, even in hot summer weather, the army can travel hundreds of miles a day without worrying about heatstroke and other problems. How about it, Second Uncle

Do you still think I’m joking now?”

"Hahaha, you, you, you." Wei Min was happy before it was too late.

"Don't worry, this matter will be left to me personally. In fact, you should have discussed it with me earlier. We have the manpower at home to collect herbs. Why exchange food with others? It will be cheaper for nothing.

those people."
