As the son of a family, the friends they can make will naturally not be ordinary people.
Even the master Li Yan was talking about, Lie Liang'an felt, might be a master of martial arts specially trained by some people.
Otherwise, how can you let your genius nephew defend it wholeheartedly?
This frostbite ointment is of excellent quality and must have been made by a famous doctor.
Lie Yan shook his head and said more respectfully: "Uncle Wu, my friend is in urgent need of money. As you know, they have a small family and have a difficult time in the new year."
Lie Liangan was stunned for a moment.
Then I thought about it and realized that, at the end of the year, every household is keeping its general ledger. This medicine shop has a lot of medicinal materials, and its general ledger is probably no less than that of the Protector's Office.
Forget it, it's rare for this kid to be so down-to-earth, so let's just allocate money to him from the Li family's inner treasury.
The Li family has two accounts and two warehouses.
Weddings and funerals, food and clothing expenses, and favors are all recorded in the family's internal accounts, using silver from the internal treasury.
As for the 100,000 soldiers in Northern Xinjiang, as well as so many non-staff members, they have their own military account for expenses.
Of course, the soldiers in northern Xinjiang eat imperial food and receive military pay.
But what the court issued was only military pay.
In fact, an army is like a big family. Just having enough food is not enough.
There are also human relations in the army, and in order for a huge army to enforce orders and prohibitions, the reward and punishment system is the key.
Not only were there 100,000 Lijia troops, but there were also non-staff soldiers, and the imperial court gave half-pay to the non-staff soldiers.
But it was cold in northern Xinjiang, and he could barely eat enough on half pay. It was impossible to stimulate Erlang's army's enthusiasm.
Therefore, every year, the Li family went to northern Xinjiang to subsidize a large amount of gold and silver items.
The Lie family regards every soldier as a family member. They not only care about their food and clothing, but also ensure their quality of life.
For example, frostbite ointment. As long as the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang can use it, the families will find a way to send it to Northern Xinjiang.
Because the Li family knows that their roots are in Northern Xinjiang. The soldiers of Northern Xinjiang and the Li family are one.
If the soldiers in northern Xinjiang are safe, their families will be safe.
The two of them entered the Qingfengyuan study room.
Qingfengyuan is where Lie Liangan, the great butler, works, and the study is the accounting room.
Lie Liangan took out his account book and began to calculate the money.
A jar worth 100,000 boxes, and they all benefited from it. But they saved a process, so it was a win-win situation.
Twenty altars, two hundred thousand boxes. One box contains two coins, which is twenty thousand taels of silver.
Lie Yan looked at the silver that Uncle Wu pushed over and shook his head, "Uncle Wu, you made a mistake. A box of five coins of silver."
Lie Liang'an was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said: "Yan'er, I have investigated the market situation. The frostbite ointment in Beijing costs up to 250 copper plates, which is the retail price. We are selling a lot of goods here."
Meaning: Who are you kidding?
He looked at Lie Yan solemnly and pointed out: "Our Lie family has never bullied the market, but it won't work if they open their mouths like a lion."
Meaning: If you want to cheat money, there is no way!
Lie Yan nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Wu is right."
"Well", Lie Liang'an felt happy when he saw that his nephew was surprisingly talkative today. He couldn't help but patted his shoulder again and said, "Tell your friend that the price I gave you is fair, and if you use it well, next year
We will also order in bulk.”
Lie Yan said nothing and took out two boxes of frostbite ointment with a low eyebrow.
"Fifth Uncle, take a look. This is a frostbite ointment that sells for 250 yuan on the market. I ordered this for our family. Fifth Uncle is well-informed. Do you think there is any difference?"
Lie Liangan frowned and glanced at his nephew, a little unhappy.
Why is this kid turning his elbows outward? He is actually helping others negotiate prices with himself?
Suddenly, he felt a little uncomfortable. His nephew finally lowered his eyebrows and turned his attention, and he actually negotiated the price with him.
Suppressing his unhappiness, Lie Liangan pointed to the two boxes of frostbite ointment and said, "Is there any difference between these? They are all about the same color, right? And the two hundred and fifty coins have a faint fragrance, but the one for our family has no fragrance?"
"
Lie Liang'an continued to find faults, but found that his genius nephew looked at him with a half-smile.
Suddenly, he took the frostbite ointment and applied both on his hands.
One kind is warm when applied and has a fragrant smell.
One kind is cool when applied and has no smell at all.
However, Lie Liangan's expression changed.
The warm and hot temperatures continue, and the icy and cold temperatures begin to make the skin feel numb, like insects crawling.
Lie Liangan is not a fool. These two kinds of frostbite ointments are of the highest quality, especially the ones given to him.
Especially the fact that it doesn't have any taste.
As a soldier, especially a soldier with a special job, if there is a smell, it is fatal.
Such as ambush, reconnaissance, espionage...
Lie Liangan nodded and discussed: "How about three coins?"
Lie Yan shook his head and softly uttered two words: "Five coins."
Lie Liangan looked at his nephew in disbelief, and then at the frostbite ointment in his hand.
My hands, which were numb after applying frostbite ointment, felt a little warm. This was indeed a good thing.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Four dollars, it can't go any higher. Tell your friends, four dollars, and we will order their goods next year. If it goes higher, we won't want it."
Lie Yan smiled and said: "Five cents, one cent less, and I won't be able to cooperate with Uncle Wu again next year."
"Snapped"
Lie Liang'an finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Lie Yan, don't forget your surname is Lie! With your elbow turned outward, don't you feel guilty at all?"
As he said this, he stood up, grabbed the 20,000 taels of silver note that he wanted to give to Lie Yan, and said to Lie Yan, "I won't talk to you. You ask your friend to come see me in person."
Of course Lie Yan didn't move. He sighed and said, "Uncle Wu, because this is frostbite ointment for soldiers in northern Xinjiang, my friend put Tianshan Snow Lotus in it."
Looking at Uncle Wu's disbelief, Lie Yan continued: "What does the best frostbite ointment mean to Beijiang? Uncle Wu knows better than me."
Lie Yan glanced at Uncle Wu's legs with a vague look.
If he had been protected by the best frostbite ointment, his legs might not have been so serious.
"Uncle Wu can also apply it now, maybe it will relieve some pain."
Lie Liang'an was silent for a moment and looked at his hands. Over time, the quality of the two frostbite ointments became clear.
It is warm and warm, and the skin is much smoother and more delicate. It has a rich fragrance, which is suitable for gentlemen and young ladies to use for skin care.
As for the other kind, the numbing and warm feeling is still going on. Depending on the posture, it may last for a day and a night.
This kind is indeed suitable for Northern Xinjiang.
When Lie Liangan saw how good the frostbite ointment was, he stopped worrying and happily ordered fifty thousand taels of silver.
"Tell your friends, if you use it well, we will have a long-term relationship."
Lie Yan nodded, "This is easy to say, I can help her agree."
Lie Liangan choked, where is this child from?
Seeing Lie Yan standing still and not accepting the banknote, Lie Liangan couldn't help but glare at him.
What does this mean? Could it be that he is still not satisfied with the sky-high price of five yuan?
"Is there anything else?" Lie Liang'an said displeased.
Lie Yan nodded, "I really have something to trouble my fifth uncle."
Lie Liang'an couldn't help but take a long breath in and out. This way he wouldn't be so angry that he suffocated to death.
"Don't push yourself too far!" he said through gritted teeth.
Lie Yan smiled, his smile was like a spring breeze.
He pushed the banknotes on the table and took out a piece of paper from his arms.
Lie Liangan looked at the piece of paper, his eyelids twitching repeatedly. He looked at the pile of banknotes on the table, as if he understood something.
Please recommend me. I have a fever and my thoughts are a bit confused. Please recommend me.
