General Qiu agreed to seek medical treatment for Mrs. Qiu. At this time, it was naturally impossible for him to refuse to save her for the sake of money for the medicinal materials. It was not that General Qiu was generous, but that General Qiu could not afford to lose that person.
"Sixty thousand taels is not a small amount. If I want to give Mrs. Qiu some medicine, I would like General Qiu to pay for the medicine first." Ji Yunkai snapped and closed the box containing the medicine.
General Qiu was extremely angry: "General, will I still rely on you for 60,000 taels of silver?"
"It's hard to talk about this. Don't you know the Qiu family's reputation as a general?" Ji Yunkai didn't give General Qi any face. He couldn't make General Qiu angry. "I'll ask someone to send you money right now."
If you don't lose, you don't lose. If you hadn't been able to get 60,000 taels now, he would have thrown the money directly in front of Ji Yunkai, letting this woman understand that he didn't bother to refuse.
"There is no need to ask someone to deliver it. If the old gentleman wants to detoxify Mrs. Qiu, he must also prepare other medicinal materials. Let the general's people accompany the old doctor to explain the matter clearly and get the money."
Ji Yunkai spoke very considerately. General Qiu thought about it carefully, saw no problem, and nodded in agreement.
The old doctor really wanted to go back to get the medicinal materials. Although he didn't want to deal with the Qiu family, Ji Yunkai asked him to take the Hualingcao away now and pay him in two days. How could the old doctor have the nerve to refuse?
Accompanied by the guards brought by General Qiu, the old doctor and Mr. Futai returned to the city.
After all, Mr. Futai is also a parent. Even if he is not taken seriously, he still has official business to deal with. It is impossible for him to stay in the other courtyard all the time, let alone spend the night in the other courtyard.
Mr. Futai had a feud with the Qiu family, and he was not afraid of offending the Qiu family. After entering the city, he offered to accompany the old doctor to the Qiu family to get money.
As people who hang out in the officialdom, General Qiu and the old doctor couldn't see what Ji Yunkai's intentions were. Lord Futai vaguely saw it and was about to do his part for Ji Yunkai.
As everyone expected, Mrs. Qiu learned that sixty thousand taels of silver would be spent to save Mrs. Qiu, and she said directly: "Let her die. A hen that can't lay eggs really thinks that she is so valuable that she wants to save her."
Spend 60,000 silver coins? Where did you get the quack doctor? Please bring him back to me quickly. We have a government doctor in our family, and his medical skills are very good. I have never seen Mr. Liu poisoned to death in so many years. How come you got him?
Are you going to die after being poisoned?"
Mrs. Qiu doesn't care at all about Mrs. Qiu's poisoning. Mrs. Qiu is a member of his Qiu family. As long as the Qiu family doesn't investigate her, she is still dead. Who dares to care?
The old doctor was very angry, but he really did not dare to challenge the Qiu family, so he kindly explained Mrs. Qiu's poison and the value of the southern Xinjiang spiritual grass: "This is the southern Xinjiang spiritual grass, worth one hundred thousand taels. We
It’s really not a waste of money, even the princess still lost money.”
"What kind of broken grass is worth one hundred thousand taels? I think you and that princess came to defraud us of the Qiu family's money. Do you really think that I am as easy to deceive as those outside? Come on..." Mrs. Qiu can't do it at all.
, as he spoke, he had to ask someone to beat the old doctor out.
Master Futai spoke slowly at this time: "Mrs. Qiu, the princess's mother comes from the Yun family, the richest man in Tianqi. The family has countless gold and silver mountains, but only 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver. Is it worth our princess to lie to you?"
"Huh, the richer the person, the darker the heart. You think I don't know." Mrs. Qiu still didn't believe it, but she took in the words "Apocalypse's first guest" and felt extremely jealous.
She was afraid of poverty in the first half of her life. Even if she married into the Qiu family and dressed in fine clothes, only money was the most real thing in her eyes.
How rich is the richest man in Tianqi?
"Our princess has ten spiritual grasses in her hands, which can easily be sold for a million silver, but you still need sixty thousand taels of silver?" Mr. Futai said disdainfully.
"A million taels? Are you lying?" Mrs. Qiu felt dissatisfied. She had only saved three to four hundred thousand taels of silver in most of her life. Ji Yunkai could sell a few grasses for a million taels.
Two, are you lying?
"I don't need to lie to you. This magical herb in the old doctor's hands was sold to him by our princess for 30,000 taels of silver for the sake of the old man's kindness as a healer. The old man only needs to spread the word and tell him
I have spiritual herbs from Southern Xinjiang on hand, which can be sold for at least 70,000 to 80,000 taels." Lord Futai is a conservative estimate.
It is difficult to estimate the value of something like spiritual grass by price. If you meet people who need it and have money, some people will buy it if it is worth millions. On the contrary, if it falls into the hands of people who don't need it, I'm afraid it won't even be worth a steamed bun.
.
"Resold for 70,000 to 80,000 taels? Stop lying." Mrs. Qiu said she didn't believe it, but her eyes were glued to the herbs in the old doctor's hand.
Such a small piece of grass can earn 50,000 taels just by turning around. If she wants to buy everything Ji Yunkai has and use it to switch, will she be able to earn 40,000 to 50,000 taels?
My mother, this is more money than she has saved for most of her life.
"I, I, Hua Feng, have healed countless people in my life, why do I need to lie to you as an old woman? If Mrs. Qiu doesn't believe it, you can come with me and see if the owner of our medicine hall is willing to spend one hundred thousand taels.
"He." The old doctor's surname was Hua, and people who knew him well called him Mr. Hua.
"One hundred thousand taels?" Mrs. Qiu exclaimed. Just now it was seven to eighty thousand taels. This has increased again?
"Of course, with this medicine in the hands of our employer, it will be easy to find a suitable buyer, and the price will be higher by then." Hua Lao still has this confidence.
"A bunch of charlatans, you are deliberately trying to defraud my Qiu family's money. I don't know if this broken grass is worth three coppers, but you are asking for thirty thousand taels from our Qiu family. You really think that our Qiu family's silver is blown by the strong wind."
." Mrs. Qiu was moved, but her words were harsh.
"Charlatan? I, Mr. Hua, have been practicing medicine all my life and have never deceived anyone. Mrs. Qiu, come with me. I want you to understand how much money this broken grass in your mouth is worth!" Mr. Hua was so angry that he asked
Mrs. Qiu went with him to understand the value of this medicinal herb.
Princess Yanbei only received 60,000 taels from the Qiu family, which was almost like giving it away for free.
Mrs. Qiu had a plan in mind, and she agreed half-heartedly and followed Mr. Hua to the medicine hall.
The owner of the medicine hall heard that Hua Lao had some magical herbs from southern Xinjiang, so he rushed over immediately. When he saw the quality of the Hua Lingcao in Hua Lao's hands, he didn't say a word and just collected one hundred thousand taels of it.
"Mr. Hua, if you still have Hua Ling Cao, in this quality and condition, I will charge it at this price." People who are in the medicinal business are very popular. There is no shortage of Hua Ling Cao in southern Xinjiang, even if they swallow it.
No one wants it in the north, but there are people elsewhere.
A spiritual herb that can detoxify hundreds of poisons and save lives, if it meets people who need it, its price can rise infinitely.
"This one was half-bought and half-gifted to me by the princess. How could I have a second one?" Mr. Hua felt a pity when he saw that his employer had collected the Hualing grass.
He knew that he was unable to keep Hualingcao, but he had not originally planned to sell it so early.
After finally getting a spiritual grass, he had to study it for two days. Not wanting to be offended by Mrs. Qiu, he didn't even have time to take a closer look and sold it...
