The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply
Chapter 24 Can't Make Money
"Okay, now that things have come to this, I can only hope that Master Zhong will show some leniency! I have already asked someone to intercede for me, and you should also prepare to take your two sons to stay at your mother's house for a while. In addition, I will transfer part of the Fang family's assets first."
"Yes, master, I'll go right away!" Fang's mother hurried to pack up. She didn't even look at Fang Jingyao. In her eyes, her son was much more important than her daughter.
Fang Jingyao also hurriedly said: "Dad, what should I do?"
"You? What else can you do? Of course you have completed the county lady's instructions! Copy your poem!"
After saying this, Mr. Fang left.
In the inn, in an upper room.
Cheng Jiayu's servant replied that the second young master Zhong had something to deal with today and it was inconvenient for him to see him. He knew that Zhong Jingfeng did not suspect him.
He was in a restless mood after returning yesterday. He carefully recalled the entire process of the banquet and only went to bed after making sure there were no mistakes.
Today he was still worried, so he sent someone to ask Zhong Jingfeng again. It was reasonable for him to get this reply. Suddenly he thought of Bai Zhaozhao again: "System, what's going on with the spiritual object in Bai Zhaozhao's hand?"
"There are two possibilities. One is that the creature has been absorbed by Bai Zhaozhao and is automatically protecting its master. The other possibility is that the creature has its own consciousness and likes Bai Zhaozhao."
"What difference does it make? After all, it's useless even if you get it!"
"Indeed, I suggest that the host give up Bai Zhaozhao and give me the Qingque jade pendant!"
"No, I'll give you the orchid I found earlier!"
"Alright!"
In fact, Cheng Jiayu knew that the gift from the emperor was of great value, and he had to be cautious, otherwise if he made a mistake, he would be doomed. As for giving up Bai Zhaozhao, huh, since she looks down on me so much, I will make her my woman!
"System, I want to redeem the beauty filter!"
"The host currently has 3,000 points. After deducting the 500 points from the filter, there are 2,500 points left!"
White House.
Zhang Zhiyi came with a cart full of gifts. Uncle Bai and Mrs. Liu were both surprised by the generosity of the Zhang family.
"Mr. Zhang is too polite!"
"No, no, it's just a small gift to show my appreciation. Lord Bai has just been promoted, and my Zhang family should also congratulate him! In addition, here are two boxes of things, which are given to Miss Bai by my sister!"
Bai Zhaozhao looked at the two boxes of silks, satins, and various jewelry, guessing that they were prepared by Zhang Ruolan's mother: "Thank Sister Lan for me."
In the study.
Bai Zhaozhao and Uncle Bai sat opposite Zhang Zhiyi. It seemed that the Zhang family had guessed what Governor Zhong was thinking. This was their chance, so the first priority was to stabilize the relationship with the Bai family.
Zhang Zhiyi meant that he hoped the Bai family would expand the scale of the workshop. No matter how much was produced, they would take it all. He also hoped that Bai Zhaozhao would produce another precious species and sell it in small quantities.
Bai Zhaozhao curled his lips and said bluntly, "Didn't the eldest master already get a high-end glass bottle?"
Zhang Zhiyi was stunned and slightly embarrassed, then he generously admitted: "Indeed, but that is because the glass is precious, and it is only sold privately. What I mean is whether you can make a medicine that is obviously more expensive than the current gold wound medicine."
Bai Zhaozhao understood what he meant, but she said sternly, "May I ask, Master Zhang, what plans does your Zhang family have for the future of Jishitang?"
Zhang Zhiyi also became serious. He knew that Bai Zhaozhao was asking whether Jishitang would become the core industry of Zhang's family. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Miss Bai must also know that Jishitang was intended to be a dowry for my sister before, but if it can replace... ahem, become the first in Linyang County in terms of medicinal materials, then my Zhang family will definitely attach great importance to it.
I will not hide it from Miss Bai. Previously, Jishiditang has always been managed by the clan’s steward. Last year, due to my sister’s reasons, I have been in charge. The reason why I wanted to ask Miss Bai to create another category is to keep Jishiditang in my hands.”
Bai Zhaozhao understood: "Master Zhang, I have studied the Fang family's golden wound medicine. It contains many kinds of precious medicinal materials and is very expensive. In fact, there are only two or three kinds of medicines that are really useful, so it exists specifically for the sake of being expensive.
Of course, I can also make a medicine like this. In fact, many doctors can make it. But this kind of thing is not unique and has little practical significance to Mr. Zhang.
On the contrary, the reason why our 200-coin golden wound medicine has become popular is because it is inexpensive and of good quality, and has established a good reputation among the people. What I want to tell you now is that the most important medicinal material here is called Tianxin, which is very rare. I heard that it can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver in the south!"
Zhang Zhiyi was shocked. Isn't such an expensive herb comparable to ginseng? The cost must be more than two hundred coins, right?
Bai Zhaozhao continued, "It's expensive because its seeds have a very low chance of surviving, and they are also very delicate. Last year I found one on the mountain, and accidentally sprinkled its seeds into a medicinal soup, and it turned out that all the seeds survived!"
This was of course something Bai Zhaozhao had made up. She only knew the breeding method of Tianxin grass. However, judging from the expressions of Third Uncle Bai and Young Master Zhang, they obviously believed it.
Bai Zhaozhao continued, "Look, Master Zhang, Jishidiang only has a dozen stores in total, but the sudden popularity of the Golden Wound Medicine can make a big family like the Fang family, which has hundreds of stores, feel terrified. What does this mean?
This means that any national chain, or a brand that can rise to prominence, must have a unique treasure that is the center of the store! A reputation that is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
However, as soon as this reputation appears, countless people with vision and pattern will be attracted. Even if the Fang family is gone, there will be a second and a third... There are at least eight hundred wealthy medicinal materials merchants in the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.
So I asked Master Zhang what your Zhang family's plan for Jishitang is? If you only want to occupy this county, then just pretend I said nothing today."
Zhang Zhiyi stood up in shock. He took a deep breath and bowed, "Excuse me, Miss Bai!"
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Bai Zhaozhao's eyes: "When Jishitang leaves Linyang County, it will be suppressed in various ways, especially by the big families with a keen sense of smell. Therefore, Jishitang can rise but cannot make money!"
Zhang Zhiyi had a glimmer of understanding: "Miss Bai wants Jishitang to suffer losses?"
"Yes, Master Zhang was young and full of energy. In order to increase his sister's dowry, he bought Baiji's golden wound medicine for 200 coins, and then sold it to the people for 200 coins to improve the reputation of Jishiditang! Who would have thought that the prefect wanted to support Jishiditang, so Master Zhang could only continue to suffer losses with tears!"
Of course, there will be people who will doubt this, but as long as the news of Tianxin Grass gets out, people will verify it. No matter how they verify it, they will find that such an expensive medicine, even if it is made into powder, will cost about 100 coins. Adding other costs of the Bai family workshop, it will cost at least 200 coins to make a little money! "
Zhang Zhiyi suddenly realized: "So I should strongly oppose replacing the Fang family, but the clan will not agree, because even if the golden wound medicine loses money, there are other medicines that are profitable.
Then, in order not to disappoint the people, I was forced to continue to sell the Golden Wound Medicine at a loss. In this way, even if someone is jealous of Jishiditang, they will wait and see for a while. Even if someone has their eyes on the Golden Wound Medicine, they will retreat a little, because 200 coins is already a loss for me!"
