Bai Yan didn't know what Sai Ya was thinking, and he didn't tell his mother-in-law anything.
He hoped that Sai Ya would retreat and leave voluntarily.
At this moment, he is looking for medicinal herbs in the mountains.
In addition, Qing Gong did not leave and led his soldiers to search for herbs.
The army did not have enough medicinal herbs, and the soldiers worked very hard.
"Bai Yan, didn't I tell you not to come out during this period?"
Qing Gong came over and asked dissatisfiedly.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't the Marquis here? Master Marquis, you actually collect medicine for the soldiers yourself, which is really admirable." Bai Yan responded.
He was a little surprised, but not too surprised.
"To be honest, many soldiers were injured last time and have not recovered yet." Qing Gong said with a wry smile.
He was a dignified marquis. His soldiers were injured and he didn't have enough medicinal materials. It was embarrassing to talk about it.
"Is that so? How much can the Marquis collect by himself? In addition, if the herbs are not stored properly, they will be easily damaged and lose their efficacy. Marquis, how about we cooperate?" Bai Yan asked.
"Cooperation?" Qing Gong looked at Bai Yan in surprise.
Aren't they always cooperating with each other?
"Master Marquis, I am going to open a pharmacy and call in more doctors. How about this? If the Marquis doesn't want the herbs given by the court, just exchange them for money, and then order them from my pharmacy. I can guarantee the Marquis that the herbs are not
It will break. In addition, the price will be much cheaper than the market price." Bai Yan said.
Qing Gong did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.
Is Bai Yan's method feasible? It seems pretty good.
The imperial court did not have enough medicinal herbs, so he would personally report to Emperor Ming every time, but he might not be able to get much.
If the allocated herbs are exchanged for money, the court will agree. Even if the court does not agree, they can be sold to other armies, and those people will definitely buy them.
"Master Bai, you may not know something. Our herbs are just the original value, which is much cheaper than those in the pharmacy. Even if you give us cheaper, as long as the difference is not big, it is meaningless." said the captain.
He didn't doubt Bai Yan's ulterior motives, but it was a fact.
"Then how much does a portion of your medicine cost?" Bai Yan continued to ask.
"A medicine to treat trauma costs about 300 yuan per dose. Other medicines will be even lower," the captain responded.
"It's indeed very cheap. How about I pay you a hundred cents?" Bai Yan said with a smile.
"Master Bai, at this price, you will lose money." the captain responded.
"Loss? Do you think agrimony is valuable?" Bai Yan asked.
The captain was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that using agrimony instead of other herbs would greatly reduce the cost.
He said: "Master Bai, although there are many agrimonies nowadays, once the news spreads that agrimony is a medicinal material, the price of agrimony will also rise. In addition, even common weeds are harvested on a large scale.
If it is consumed quickly, I am afraid that the price will soar in less than a year or two."
For now, the price can be kept down, but once agrimony becomes as rare as other medicinal materials, the price will definitely change.
"Then just sign a life-long contract." Bai Yan said with a smile: "Brother Xiaowei's worries are unnecessary. I have a way to ensure that these herbs will not become scarce in ten years. Is this good?"
"Master Bai, are you serious about this?" The captain's eyes widened.
"Of course, others can't do it, but I can." Bai Yan said with a smile.
In previous lives, even precious medicinal materials such as ginseng were cultivated, let alone agrimony and the like?
With so much land in the Bai family, it can naturally be supplied.
"Han Tao, don't doubt Bai Yan." Qing Gong scolded and said, "Bai Yan, let's cooperate."
"That's fine, but Lord Marquis, since it's a business cooperation, everything should be done in accordance with the rules."
"It's natural. Brothers should settle accounts." Qing Gong said with a smile.
Soon, the two reached an agreement, and Bai Yan continued heading towards the mountains without wasting much time.
The mountains and forests are dangerous and wild beasts are everywhere, but there are many people there, and the wild beasts will choose to avoid them when they see them.
So, at the end of the day, nothing unexpected happened.
Bai Yan found a total of eleven medicinal herbs.
As for the other herbs, I don't know if they are not available here or if he hasn't found them yet.
Even so, Bai Yan is already very satisfied. These herbs are not too rare and can be supplied from the wild.
Before sunset, the group went down the mountain.
Qing Gong didn't take away any of the herbs he picked, but gave them to Bai Yan.
The cooperation has been reached, and the medicinal herbs exchanged for the low price are enough, so there is no need for them to waste their efforts.
"Bai Yan, there are a lot of people here today. I see many people are just at Agrimony. Has the news been leaked?" Qing Gong looked at the busy people not far away and asked in confusion.
He didn't pay much attention at first, but there were more and more people there, and there were hundreds of them.
After asking, I found out that these people were picking agrimony and other medicinal herbs.
"There will be more people tomorrow, and the herbs they pick will be sold to me in the end." Bai Yan said with a smile: "Master Marquis, you can ask your accompanying military doctor to come and identify these new herbs together. Next, go to the pharmacy.
We still need their help to open the business."
"These are new medicinal herbs? Bai Yan, you really have a great opportunity." Qing Gong said enviously.
"It's a medicinal herb, but the specific situation requires several doctors to discuss and identify it," Bai Yan responded.
"Okay, I will notify the military doctors in the military camp. They will be very excited." Qing Gong said with a smile.
The two of them talked and laughed all the way back to Yanzhou City.
Qinggong did not go to the college, but went directly to Qinyuan. He was planning to stay in Qinyuan in the past few days.
As soon as Bai Yan returned to the school, Xiaocui hurriedly ran over: "Young Master, someone from the Bai family has come. Seeing that you are not here, I went back. I think it will come in a while, so the Young Master should prepare how to deal with it."
"If you have anything to prepare, just stay out. Tell the college guards that if anyone is let in, they will pack their bags and leave." Bai Yan responded.
He is very busy now and has no time to pay attention to these people. Bai family, just leave it alone for now.
Bai Yan took the herbs and went directly to the school. The three doctors were also there. They had nothing to think about today and just waited for Bai Yan to arrive.
Seeing Bai Yan, several people were shocked at the same time.
"Master Bai, have you brought the new herbs?" Jin Tai asked impatiently.
"Brought it."
Bai Yan walked to the table and took out all the more than ten kinds of herbs.
Several people were surprised at first, but after seeing the so-called herbal medicine, they suddenly lost interest.
This is not a herbal medicine. Isn't it just a very common weed? There are them everywhere in the mountains and forests. I have waited in vain for this day. Young Master, you are really whimsical.
