Fenghou

The escort shrank their hands back as if they were being burned, and hurriedly took a few steps back, angrily said: "You want to kill me! This is the order of King Yong, turn around quickly, and you are not allowed to enter the city!"

The escort team is not stupid, three hundred camels appeared on the street, so eye-catching, they will be strictly investigated immediately, he can't afford to go around, especially if he has collected money, once it is found out, he will be dismissed from the army, not to mention five The [-] mu of land accumulated over the years has also come to naught. It is really a big loss to lose the [-] mu of land accumulated for just two pennies.

The camel team consisted of 30 people. They lived in a big inn outside the city. They moved all the goods into the room. The leader of the businessman was Pi Xiangyang. He was a Taiyuan businessman in name, but in fact he was a Jin Guo The leader of the intelligence point, this time was specially ordered to come to Jingzhao to buy medicinal materials.

Just a month ago, one of Pi Xiangyang's subordinates got a piece of important information in Taiyuan, the Western Army's wound medicine formula.

There are two types of wound medicine used by the Western Army, one is called Jinchuang Hemostatic Ointment, and the other is called Feilong Baoming Pill.

These two wound medicines were originally secrets of the Western Army, but they were inadvertently leaked by a military doctor when he was treating the common people. Many medicine shops in Jingzhao have prepared them. Chang's intelligence spies in Taiyuan found out and immediately sent this important information to Daming Mansion.

Wan Yanchang found a treasure, and after the experiment, he found that it was really effective. It was more effective than their current military medicine in both hemostasis and life preservation. Wan Yanchang immediately ordered a copy.

But they don't have enough medicinal materials, especially the three most important medicinal materials. One is Panax notoginseng, which is the main ingredient of Jinchuang Hemostatic Ointment, and the other is Radix Isatidis and Phellodendron Phellodendri, which are important ingredients of Feilong Baoming Pill. .

Wan Yanchang knew that war was likely to break out this year, so he immediately sent Pi Xiangyang to come to Jingzhao to make purchases, pretending to be a businessman.

Why come to Jingzhao to purchase, because the world's largest medicinal material trading market is in Jingzhao.

Pi Xiangyang said to everyone: "Our task this time is very simple, that is to purchase medicinal materials. The goods and silver we carry total 2 taels, which can be converted into [-] guan. eye on.

So we in Jingzhao are mainly looking for sources of goods, and then we go to the place of origin to purchase in large quantities. Remember, Sanqi, Banlangen and Cortex Phellodendri, especially Panax notoginseng, I will distribute the money to everyone, and then we will separately go to the drug market to inquire. I heard that there are hundreds of shops there, everyone should ask more, and report to me in time if there is any situation. "

Chapter 280 Prohibited Drugs

The Jingzhao Medicinal Materials Market is located in the west of the city and has existed for more than 100 years, but it has always been a small regional market, supplying only medicinal materials from the Jingzhao Prefecture area.

But after Zhao Kai was in charge of the Finance and Taxation Transshipment Department, he copied his best experience in the market in the medicinal material market. First, he expanded the venue and persuaded Chen Qing to turn the next-door Xidaying into a medicinal material market, so that Jingzhao medicinal materials The market suddenly expanded more than ten times, and he put all the official and military procurement of medicinal materials in this market, and the huge purchase volume immediately attracted medicinal material vendors from all over the world.

In just three years, the Jingzhao Medicinal Material Market, which covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu, has gathered large medicinal material dealers from all over the world, opened more than [-] stores, and become the largest medicinal material market in the world.

Pi Xiangyang and his subordinates pretended to be medicine merchants this time. They hired more than a dozen bullock carts to transport various medicines to the tax office for tax payment, and then transported them to the medicine market. Sold.

Pi Xiangyang didn't care about how much money he made, what he wanted was the identity of a medicine supplier, and then he wanted to buy the medicine he needed from the buyer.

The buyer's surname is Wu, and he is also a well-known medicinal material dealer. He thought for a moment that he had earned at least two thousand guan from Pi Xiangyang's shipment. For the sake of the two thousand guan, he also told Pi Xiangyang .

"Isatidis and Huangbai are not a big problem. I can adjust the goods for you. You can have as much as you want? But Panax notoginseng is a bit troublesome."

Pi Xiangyang was startled, Sanqi was the most important thing in their trip, and he was determined to win, so he quickly asked: "What trouble will it be?"

"Panax notoginseng is a medicinal material for the military, and it has been strictly controlled. You can buy one or two loads without any problem, but now you want a thousand loads. Don't say I don't have that many goods in my hand. Even if I have them, I dare not sell them. Heads off."

Pi Xiangyang sighed and said, "Money is not a problem, please Master Wu think of a way!"

Wu Dongzhu's eyes rolled quickly, and he found that this was a good opportunity to make a lot of money. The government stipulated that private pharmacies should not buy more than ten loads of panax notoginseng at one time, but he could use his contacts to collect, and he could get it together in a few days.

He also knows why the other party wants this kind of military banned drug, but this is a profit of tens of thousands of pennies, and he has long forgotten his national integrity.

"Actually, the key is money. If the leather owner can buy it at three times the price, I can find a way for you."

Sun-dried Panax notoginseng is very expensive. The current market price is 6000 Wen a catty, [-] Guan a load, and a thousand loads will cost [-] Guan. If the price is tripled, it will be [-] Guan. [-] taels of silver, even if Pi Xiangyang bought it officially, it would be too much.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Can it be a little cheaper, how about twice the price?"

Dongzhu Wu saw that the other party was eager to buy, and also understood that the other party could afford it. Since he wanted to buy and could afford it, why did he give in?

Dongzhu Wu shook his head, "This is me helping you at the risk of killing my whole family. In fact, I bought it from others at a high price. I can't make a penny at twice the price. Everyone wants to make money, right? The proprietor can also sell it for five times the price! It is a magic medicine to stop bleeding and save lives, who cares about such a small amount of money?"

"All right!"

Pi Xiangyang made up his mind, and he said to Wu Dong: "I don't bring much money, you have to sell Banlangen and Huangbai to me cheaply, and keep it absolutely secret!"

Dongzhu Wu narrowed his eyes with a smile, "I won't make money selling Banlangen and Phellodendron to you. As for the secrecy, don't worry, we are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If you are found out, I won't survive, so don't worry, I will be absolutely careful to keep it a secret."

……

Pi Xiangyang negotiated the price with Dongzhu Wu, and the medicinal materials he brought were deducted from the Radix Isatidis and Phellodendron cork, so there was no need to pay any more, but he still had to pay 6000 taels of silver for Sanqi. According to the usual practice, Pi Xiangyang paid first He paid 5000 taels of silver as a deposit, and the rest of the silver was paid with one hand and delivered with the other. The two parties agreed to deliver the goods at the Weihe Wharf at noon three days later.

Pi Xiangyang paid in cash, and the 5000 taels of silver weighed more than 300 catties. Pi Xiangyang's subordinates brought three large boxes, each of which weighed more than 100 catties. Pi Xiangyang took his receipt and left immediately.

Looking at the three big boxes in the store, shopkeeper Wu was a little worried. How could he move such a big box?The two fellas happened to be out too.

At this moment, a tall and strong young man walked into the store with a cynical expression on his face. He knocked on the counter and said, "Uncle, give me two money for fun!"

The young man is Zhou Mi, the nephew of Dongzhu Wu. He is tall and strong.

But now he came at the right time, Dongzhu Wu quickly waved his hand and said: "You came at the right time, I want to transport these three boxes to the cabinet shop, you help me, and I will give you a few hundred coins later."

"Okay!"

Zhou Mi happily said: "I'll call a taxi!"

He ran out, and after a while, he called a bullock cart and carried the boxes onto the bullock cart with all his strength. Although he was idle, he had a lot of strength, and he loaded three large boxes onto the bullock cart one after another.

At this time, a clerk came back, and Zhou Mi asked the clerk to look after the store. He took his nephew to the cabinet shop, and he needed the nephew to move the box down later.

"Uncle, these are all silver!"

From the gap, Zhou Mi saw the white silver, his eyes were straightened, how much silver does this have?The three big boxes are at least 6000 taels!

Dongzhu Wu snorted, and taught his nephew a lesson: "You look so strong, but you don't do business all day long. Let you work with your uncle for a few years. Once you have mastered the skills, you can also open a store and sell medicinal materials yourself. It is not easy to make thousands of dollars a year. You earn money, but you just do nothing, and at the age of 25, you want my eldest sister to support you, aren't you embarrassed?"

Zhou Mi was completely seduced by the white money, he salivated and said: "Uncle, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a day, I will do it with you today! As long as there is money to make, I promise to be obedient, and I also want to make money to let my mother live." Good day!"

Zhou Mi is very good at talking, but Dongzhu Wu is tempted. It just so happens that this business is not easy for outsiders to participate in. His nephew is strong and strong, and he will carry the goods for himself. He changed his mind and did things with himself.

"That's fine. I have a big deal these two days. You follow me as a helper. It's a test for you. After it's done, I'll give you 20 taels of silver."

Zhou Mi was so happy that he wanted to jump up, 20 taels of silver!Going to the black market can be exchanged for 120 pennies. I have never gotten so much money when I grow up.

With 20 taels of silver as a base, Zhou Mi worked extraordinarily hard, and moved three large boxes of silver into the cabinet workshop by himself.

In the afternoon, Dongzhu Wu took his nephew Zhou Mi to run a business, found the first drug dealer with a good relationship, bought [-] loads of notoginseng at a price [-]% higher than the market price, and asked Zhou Mi to arrange a carriage and send it to his warehouse at the Weihe Wharf .

"Boy, listen, when you go out of the city, if a soldier asks you what kind of medicine it is, you tell him it's Gastrodia elata, and then show him the manifest."

"Uncle, is it true that the tax on Panax notoginseng is relatively high, so you should pay the tax on a cheaper drug?"

Dongzhu Wu chuckled, "You're really smart, that's why, remember, this is Gastrodia elata, don't open the box, otherwise you will be fined a lot for paying taxes."

"Don't worry! I'm doing things very well."

"Fuck you, if you were safe, you would have been a father by now!"

Dongzhu Wu cursed, and handed him the key, "The warehouse you have been to is the warehouse where you wrestled last time."

"As far as I remember, the roof was repaired like shit."

"Go away!"

Zhou Mi took the keys and left with a few ox carts. Dongzhu Wu wanted to find another drug dealer, but if he got there late, he couldn't find anyone, so he hurried to another drug store.

Dongzhu Wu is not very worried. Generally, he does not pay taxes when he goes out of the city, and the soldiers will not ask. When he enters the city, the tax officer will intervene to pay the tax. He is just afraid that in case this kid doesn't understand anything, he will take the initiative to say [-] stupidly. It will be bad.

The first thousand 280 chapter two revenge

On the morning of the day of delivery, Dongzhu Wu got the last one hundred loads of notoginseng. The thousand loads of notoginseng was finally collected. The cost was [-] guan. He sold [-] guan and made a net profit of [-] guan. The biggest deal he did was also the one he made the most money.

It was almost noon, but he didn't see his nephew Zhou Mi coming. He stomped his feet anxiously. This guy must have gone to fool around last night. It's really mud that can't support the wall. Something went wrong at a critical moment.

Helpless, he had to ask two men to find two bullock carts, and he personally escorted three thousand to the pier outside the city.

When they came to the warehouse at the dock, they saw Pi Xiangyang leading a group of his subordinates to greet him with anger on their faces, "Master Wu, the agreed time has long passed."

Dongzhu Wu hurriedly cupped his fists and apologized, "I'm working on the last batch of goods, there's nothing I can do, or I won't be able to get them all together."

Only then did Pi Xiangyang's expression soften, he looked at the goods on the cart, and frowned, "Why is it so small?"

"This is the last batch. The rest are in the warehouse. It's all a thousand dan. It's not easy to deal with!"

Pi Xiangyang ordered his men to unload the goods and send the ox cart away. Dongzhu Wu brought a group of people to the warehouse and said angrily, "The key to the warehouse is with my nephew. I don't know where he died. Please pry open the warehouse door!"

Pi Xiangyang winked at his subordinates, who spat at his subordinates, picked up the big ax and slammed it hard at the lock, "Dang!when!when! After smashing it three times in one breath, the big lock was smashed open, and everyone entered the warehouse.

Pointing to the baskets full of storage, Dongzhu Wu said: "This is 8000 baskets, nine hundred dans, plus the 5000 tans just now, it's exactly 3000 tans, each [-] jins, a total of [-] jins and [-], a total of [-] jins. [-] taels of silver, minus the [-] taels you paid me before, you still have to pay me [-] taels of silver."

Pi Xiangyang led his men to examine the medicine carefully, and it turned out that they were all good Sanqi, dried in the sun, and the weight was correct. Pi Xiangyang was overjoyed, and ordered his men to bring the camels, unloaded thirteen large boxes of silver, and put the lid on the box. Pry it open, and it's full of white silver.

"Each box is 1000 taels of silver. The proprietor will count it himself, or I will ask my subordinates to help me count it!"

The white money dazzled Dongzhu Wu's eyes, he couldn't close his mouth from laughing, and said repeatedly: "No need! No need! I know it, I can see it at a glance."

"Well, I will come back and continue to work with you!"

Pi Xiangyang ordered his men to carry [-] loads of Panax notoginseng onto the camels. They had already returned from the inn, rented more than [-] large carts, loaded them with Banlangen and cork, and the team headed eastward.

Dongzhu Wu roughly counted the money, and then covered the money with an oilcloth. At this time, his nephew Zhou Mi hurried over and said with a smile on his face: "Uncle, I drank a few more glasses last night, I overslept a little, I came late ,I'm sorry!"

Wu Dongzhu's face sank and he said: "Because you came late, the guests all left, this business was ruined, and I lost tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Zhou Mi lowered his head in fright, and said for a while: "Or, you can give me less."

"You still have the nerve to ask for money, who will pay for my loss?"

Zhou Mi immediately jumped up and yelled, "I'll work for you like a mule for the past three days, and I'll be as tired as a dog. Even a dog should give me a bone!"

Dongzhu Wu took out a small ingot of silver, about five taels, and threw it to him, "That's all, get out!"

Zhou Mi picked up the silver, threw away the key, and left resentfully.

It's not that Dongzhu Wu doesn't want to give money to his nephew, it's just that this bastard made a mistake at a critical moment, which made Dongzhu Wu very annoyed, so he wanted to teach this naive nephew a lesson.

It's just that how to transport the 3000 taels of silver away, he was a little overwhelmed, and the lock was broken, so he had to buy a new lock.

……

In the morning of the next day, a tall and strong young man came from the Jingzhao Taxation Office. It was Zhou Mi.

He exchanged five taels of silver for thirty pennies in the black market, and after paying off his gambling debts, he had nothing left. All the promises he had made to cronies had to fall through, and he was severely ridiculed.

Zhou Mi couldn't sleep all night, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more ruthless he was. At dawn, he went out to the tax office.Since the uncle is unkind, don't blame the nephew for being unrighteous.

"What's the matter with you?" a tax official asked impatiently.

Zhou Mi hesitated and asked, "I want to ask, is there any reward for reporting tax evasion?"

"If the amount is large, there will be rewards!"

"What if the value of the goods is [-] guan? How many rewards can there be?"

"Ninety thousand guan?" The tax official was taken aback. He looked at Zhou Mi, but he really didn't believe it. Does this guy understand how much [-] guan is?

"What tax evasion?"

"It's a businessman who sells medicine. He obviously sells Panax notoginseng, but the gastrodia elata listed on the bill of sale is not the same tax!"

The tax official smiled and said: "Medicine is a kind of tax, no matter whether it is notoginseng or Gastrodia elata, they all pay the same tax, and it is not the seller who collects the tax, but the county where the buyer is located. Like you said, the merchant who sells the medicine should not have to pay the tax." Taxes, not to mention tax evasion.”

Disappointed, Zhou Mi muttered, "Then why did he lie to me?"

The tax official said again: "Just now you said that selling thirty-seven would cost [-] guan, you were wrong! It should be [-] guan."

"That's right! It's 5000 taels. He got a deposit of [-] taels of silver, and I helped him move the silver into the cabinet shop."

The tax official was startled, and asked again: "Then how much Sanqi did he sell?"

"It seems to be a thousand tans, that's right, it's a thousand tans. I moved [-] tans for him, and he moved another [-] tans himself!"

"A thousand loads of thirty-seven?" The tax official's eyes widened.

Zhou Mi nodded, "Is there a problem with a thousand loads of notoginseng?"

……

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Hao and Zhong Huan rushed to Yongwang's mansion like a gust of wind. The two got off their horses and hurried to Yongwang's official room.

Chao Qing came up to meet him and asked, "Is there something urgent to find King Yong?"

"Please join the army and report to King Yong, there is an emergency!"

"You come with me!"

Chao Qing brought the two of them to the door of the official room, motioned them to wait a moment, he went in to report, after a while, Chao Qing came out and said, "Go in!"

Wang Hao and Zhong Huan walked into the imperial study, Chen Qing was reviewing the document, he put down his pen and asked with a smile, "What's the rush?"

Wang Hao stepped forward to salute and said: "His Royal Highness, someone is secretly smuggling a thousand tons of sanqi!"

"A thousand loads of thirty-seven!"

Chen Qing was so sensitive, he immediately realized, "Is it the Kingdom of Jin?"

"should be!"
