Chapter 182 The two gentlemen’s plans (2)

Meixiang and Old Man Luo were getting more and more excited the more they thought about it, and they started to discuss it again. At such times, Xiang's excitement could not be suppressed. Doctor Wang and Doctor Gu Du just shook their heads speechlessly, while Doctors Dou and Shi, who saw Meixiang's money-grubbing appearance for the first time, didn't know what expression to use to appear not too rude.

Who could recognize this person as the First Princess of Haoyue in this look? Is there such a princess who is so greedy for money?

Doctor Wang, who was sitting next to them, saw how shocked they were. He couldn't help but sigh, patted their shoulders and said, "When Xiang took over Liuzhou Prefecture, it could be said that except for the old rice in the granary whose age was unknown and whose quantity could not be verified, it was penniless. She supported Liuzhou Prefecture to the present with birthday gifts from families in the capital and gifts of tea and potatoes sent to the capital. She paid the salaries of hundreds of thousands of civilians and nearly ten thousand soldiers, and gave subsidies to every sick, disabled, or elderly soldier who left the camp."

"Which of the yamen runners, palace soldiers, road construction, and the whole Liu family doesn't need money? And all of this fell on her, but who would have thought that she was only ten years old? Think about what the ten-year-old girls in our own palace and those noble families in the capital are doing? And look at what Xiang girl has done? I have seen Madam and Madam secretly wiping tears many times."

"Only recently, when the wine shop opened, Prince Feng, who was in charge of the household, had a smile on his face. But according to Xiang girl's idea, I think that little bit of money is just a drop in the bucket and far from enough. That's why you see her greedy look, she is afraid of poverty. Hundreds of thousands of taels were invested and nothing happened, yo!"

Doctor Wang looked at Meixiang, who was so excited and forgetful while talking with Old Man Luo, and it seemed as if he was speaking to Doctor Lonely and the other two, as well as to himself. In the end, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be fooled by the girl's appearance of enjoying herself. In fact, her greatest wish is to travel all over Haoyue and see its mountains and rivers. The things in Liuzhou Prefecture are so numerous that even adults would be unable to handle them and want to quit, let alone a few children. Alas!"

Hearing this, Doctor Dou and Doctor Shi couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. That's right. No matter how capable she is, she is just a child who has just turned ten years old, and she is still a little girl. At such a young age, she has already shouldered this heavy responsibility alone, and now it seems that she is doing it in a decent manner. And these two old men who are about to be buried, why are they still being pretentious here? Do they want to take the knowledge and experience in their heads with them into the grave and end it all?

Until then, the veil that had been covering the hearts of Doctor Dou and Doctor Shi was gradually lifted, revealing a brilliant light, and their entire mental outlook was refreshed.

After dinner, everyone sat around the conference table in the main hall of the Liu Mansion, drinking tea and chatting, talking about the situation in their respective responsibilities. Suddenly, Meixiang thought of what she had discussed with Old Man Luo in Luojia Village today, and turned to discuss with Young Master Sun: "Young Master Sun, my master, the three gentlemen and I went to Luojia Village today. Now they have an owner from another prefecture coming to buy herbs. Steward Liu took the opportunity to set up a wine shop there and asked Village Chief Luo to sell it on his behalf. Some villagers even made some cakes to sell. Business is pretty good, isn't it, Steward Liu?"

The one who answered her was the chuckle of Manager Liu, who changed his name to Liu Xuanyi. He was indeed a first-generation entrepreneur who started from the grassroots. He had an extraordinary sensitivity to business opportunities and was daring enough to try. Meixiang looked at him and once again marveled at her own keen eyes.

He shook his head gently, forcing himself to pull back his thoughts, and then said, "I wonder if we can set up two shops over there, one to sell cloth and ready-made clothes, and one to sell some tea, scented tea, etc. Let's put aside the good or bad business, at least it can make us famous, right?"

"I think it's feasible. In the future, we will set this tea and scented tea as Liuzhou Prefecture's specialty, and it can only be bought in Liuzhou Prefecture. Scarcity makes things valuable. In this way, people who want to drink can only come to Liuzhou Prefecture to buy it. It can also increase the flow of people here in disguise. People can't just buy a little tea when they come, right? Haha..." Sun Shao said with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to hit the steward Liu who was sitting next to him: "Brother, you are not kind this time. You didn't even say hello when you had such a good thing? You can't let you make all the money alone, right?"

"Hehe, isn't it true that the herbal medicine market in Luojia Village hasn't taken off yet? I'm afraid that if I tell you, you'll take it seriously, and that'll make you look like a laughing stock."

"Go to hell, if you do it again, I'll see if I'll let you off! Humph!"

Looking at the two people playing around, Doctor Dou suddenly put down the tea bowl in his hand and changed the subject, saying: "Miss Xiang'er, I think those owners who frequently purchase large quantities of herbs should be registered, controlled or investigated? Especially those herbs used for external injuries. After all, the world is not very peaceful now. If..."

Everyone's heart tightened when they heard this, and when they thought about the meaning behind the word "if", they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If they helped the other party for the sake of the money, they would be blamed for their own crimes.

Meixiang thanked Mr. Dou solemnly: "Sir, you are right. Thank you for reminding me. I was too arrogant and neglected it."

Then he turned to Chu Zeming, Feng Yizhen, Situ Yidong and Mei Ying and said, "Brother Chu, cousin Zhen, and brother Situ, please ask the officials and soldiers who will go to Luojia Village to help to do a good job of registration and questioning. You are more experienced than me in this regard. When you have time, you can look through the registration books. Mei Ying, you go to Luojia Village again tomorrow morning and inform the village chief Luo and Luo Sheng, asking them to pay more attention in the future and notify the officials and soldiers in time if they find any abnormal situation."

After thinking for a while, he said to Young Master Sun, "Young Master Sun, your family has many shops in various places. Please ask the local managers and employees to pay more attention to any abnormal situations, especially the rice and grain shops and pharmacies. If there are large quantities of herbs and rice grains coming in and out frequently, please report them as soon as possible."

"We are relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside. Chen Er, go to the government office tomorrow to find cousin Zhen and copy the information of the owner who recently purchased a large amount of herbs, and send someone to investigate carefully."

Doctor Dou and the other two were completely convinced after hearing this series of instructions. He just made a suggestion on impulse, but he didn't expect it to attract so much attention. This shows how quick and big the princess's reaction was.

That night, Doctor Dou and Doctor Shi wrote several letters to familiar drugstore owners and doctor friends, strongly recommending the herbal medicines from Liuzhou Prefecture and suggesting that they come to buy them.
