Pucheng is more than two hundred miles away from Lanjing.
It is an important pass into Gyeonggi Province. Anyone entering Beijing must pass through here.
Because of its special geographical location, it is extremely prosperous.
Earlier when Meng Jia was still in Beijing, he had his men open two shops here.
One deals in fine wine and dry goods, and the other deals in medicinal materials.
All the signs are from the Medicinal Food Hall, the goods are delivered from Meizhou, and the shopkeeper and waiters are selected by Meng Jia.
But it was Mu Yunhan who held the house deed, ownership and so on, and the accountant was also the person she appointed.
It's just that you're far away, and there are always some things you can't take into account.
Especially since Meng Jia was not here, no one was keeping an eye on them, and no one knew what these two shops were like.
When Mu Yunhan came to Beijing this time, he had to visit these two shops.
Both shops were in the downtown area, and Mu Yunhan took Mu Jie, Mu Li and the two worshipers there as if they were shopping.
The first one is a pharmacy, selling only ordinary medicinal materials.
The three most famous "miraculous medicines" of the Medicinal Food Hall have quotas and are given on a monthly basis. In a place with a large flow of people like this, they are usually sold out long ago.
Mu Yunhan stood outside and gave Mu Li twenty taels of silver, asking him to buy a "magic medicine" from this shop no matter what.
When Mu Li went in, the waiter said no at first, but later he couldn't help but begged him, and was willing to pay a high price, and actually sold him a copy of Qingfeng Powder.
All in all, the selling price of Qingfeng Powder was suddenly raised twenty times, and it was a self-inflicted theft.
Mu Yunhan did not express his position, but only ordered someone to write down that on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, someone sold a copy of Qingfeng Powder for twenty taels of silver.
Then he asked Mu Li to go to the wine shop to get some drinks.
Something is wrong with the wine shop. The wine is not adulterated, but the price is extremely high, and it is actually labeled as "tribute wine".
The dry goods that are supposed to sell best are actually empty on the shelves.
And she remembered that every time she asked for a lot of goods here.
She always ordered high-quality goods, and the only consideration was to take advantage of the convenience of transportation hubs and build a reputation for the goods.
Where have all these goods gone now?
These two shops can pay dividends on time every year, which is not much, only 20%. But now it seems that there are many problems.
Bai Wuwei asked: "How does the boss plan to deal with this matter? Do you want the two accountants to come over and ask questions?"
Mu Yunhan said: "Don't move for now."
This is the foot of the emperor, not Meizhou, and anyone who catches him is a fifth-rank official.
These two shopkeepers were chosen by Meng Jia, and they were nominally members of the Meng family. If she attacked them as soon as she arrived, wouldn't it be a slap in the Meng family's face?
And she didn't know who the people behind them were. It would be ugly if they were actually ordered by someone from the Meng family.
You can't help but become an enemy, right?
Another thing is that she will be arriving in the capital soon, and it is difficult to get rid of those eyes. She does not want to cause more trouble.
Bai Wuwei was convinced: "My boss has considered it right."
Mu Yunhan ordered Mu Li: "Go and find out how they usually do business and who they interact with."
He was unfamiliar with the place, and Mu Li had never gone out with him before or done any of these errands.
Everyone thinks this is an impossible task.
Unexpectedly, Mu Li agreed without saying a word, and said: "It's just my boss, I'm afraid it will cost me some money."
Mu Yunhan said without hesitation: "How much you need, you can go to the accountant and get it yourself." (To be continued)
