Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

The heads here started to treat Zhang and Li with great respect after learning their identities, but everyone on the stage and off the stage was still in high spirits.

Zhang Jiebin cupped his hands and said: "The people in the capital are facing the threat of the epidemic. The minister has a heavy responsibility and needs your full support."

"We will do our best to help the two imperial envoys complete their mission!" The heads of each family looked at each other and said in unison.

While everyone was talking, Gang Leader Lin was hesitant and couldn't keep up for a while.

The so-called efforts of other leaders were nothing more than the efforts of others, but he had to bleed a lot. Now there is only a temporary business gang in Qizhou, which is responsible for various matters during the temple fair. The last gang leader was Zhang Ruyi.

Before the establishment of the merchant gang, the Yaowang Temple Fair only had scattered factories, shops, and guild halls. As the scale of the Yaowang Temple Fair increased day by day, commercial disputes also increased year by year. The officials took the trouble, after all, the number of lawsuits during their term was related to the official's future. So Zhizhou

Let the Medical Classics Department be in charge of all matters during the temple fair.

Dianke, on the other hand, is even more stretched in a temple fair with a daily transaction volume of tens of thousands. Drug transactions are different from others. It not only involves money, but also affects lives. The number of disputes is unimaginable. Naturally, Dianke is overwhelmed, and

This matter was assigned to major factories, shops, and guild halls. At first, they were each responsible for it, but because it delayed everyone's business, they became responsible in turns.

Over time, this temporary and loose business gang was born.

Although Gang Leader Lin has certain authority, major decisions cannot be made by him alone. If the lion of the imperial court opens his mouth, the losses will most likely be borne by him alone, enough to bankrupt him.

Zhang Jiebin saw that he had a different look on his face and asked, "Is Gang Leader Lin in trouble?"

"Your Excellency, you don't know. Although Cao Min is the leader of the Medicine Gang, he can only handle some transaction disputes and cannot take the initiative in other matters. Zhang Dianke knows this very well." Gang leader Lin thought about it again and again and decided to clarify the matter first.

Zhang Jiebin was a little confused and looked at Zhang Ruyi: "Brother Ruyi, what does Gang Leader Lin mean when he says he can't be the master?"

Zhang Ruyi said with a smile: "It depends on what you ask him to do. If it is just to provide business information, matchmaking, and provide high-quality and low-price medicinal materials, he can naturally make the decision. If you want to rob him by force and do that business without capital,

He cannot be the master of others, and at most he will lose his fortune, that's all."

Zhang Jiebin raised his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Leader Lin, everyone, the ministers are not here empty-handed this time. In addition to carrying three hundred taels of silver, in emergencies, we can also call on the Qizhou treasury silver. So there is no need to worry that we will force the rich

"Thank you, the hospital has been prepared for this epidemic, and we won't need too many medicinal materials. We are here just to facilitate the timely procurement of the missing medicinal materials in an emergency."

Hearing Zhang Jiebin's assurance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although three hundred taels was not much, if calculated based on the cost price of raw medicinal materials, it was enough to purchase one thousand to three thousand catties of medicinal materials. Including the treasury silver, the purchase amount

Tens of thousands of kilograms of medicinal materials is not a problem. Tens of thousands of kilograms of medicinal materials are enough for hundreds of thousands of people in the capital.

Of course, this is only the cost price of raw medicinal materials. To make mature medicines, the price will be doubled, and the sales will be doubled again. However, the court purchases medicines regardless of cost. People have the obligation to serve, and there is no labor cost in pharmaceuticals. The express delivery shop is a state agency.

There are no shipping costs.

As long as officials are honest and capable, under the ancient taxation system, they can not only concentrate their efforts on big things, but also do good things at the minimum cost. The famous minister Hai Rui, whether he was the county magistrate or in charge of the government, the biggest highlight was the use of work for work.

Millions of people were mobilized for relief.

Coincidentally, Yuan Huang, who became the magistrate of Baodi County a year later, faced a drought that affected the entire county. With only more than 600 taels of silver and more than 600 stones of grain raised from donations from various parties, he not only repaired the river during the two months of drought.

There are hundreds of miles of dikes and canals, and more than 52,900 people live in Baodi County.

It can be seen from this that no matter what, just in terms of cost, it is very cheap.

What they worry about is never the normal situation, but the fear that the imperial envoys will use their power to seize precious medicinal materials. Generally, the cheap medicinal materials are only one or two cents of silver per pound, and the expensive ones are only sixty-seven cents of silver. But the precious medicinal materials are not at this price.

, such as bezoars cost sixteen taels per catty, and ginseng costs sixteen taels per catty, the difference is dozens or hundreds of times.

Officials and dignitaries liked these precious medicinal materials, which caused their prices to remain high.

At the Yaowang Temple Fair, there were far more merchants from outside the Pass than in any area within the Pass. The ginseng in their hands was a hot commodity. Even merchants from the capital came to the Yaowang Temple to trade with them.

Zhang Ruyi asked: "So, Mr. Hui, you don't know what medicinal materials you want to purchase now?"

Zhang Jiebin shook his head and said: "I don't know for sure, but according to the news from Yu Limu, the current epidemic is wool plague, and the prescription was also sent back. But Brother Ruyi, you should also know that different places

, the symptoms are also very different, and the use of medicine should naturally be tailored to individual conditions and local conditions."

"In this case, you have to make a good plan and use these three hundred taels on the edge of the knife." Zhang Ruyi began to think deeply after hearing this.

"It's not three hundred taels. We have thirteen people here on this trip. Except for Brother Li and Ji Sheng, they all know medical skills. Even a few cart drivers can treat animals. We plan to work here and treat everyone's illnesses.

He can earn at least one hundred taels a month from the medicine." Zhang Jiebin said with confidence.

Bai Yuzhan praised: "This is a good idea. Every year there are tens of thousands of vendors at the temple fair, a mixed bag of good and bad. As long as you show your identity as a Taiyuan hospital, you won't have to worry about no one asking you to help with medicine."

"Amitabha, the donor has a kind heart and practices it, and there is no greater kindness than that!"

Zhang Jiebin smiled slightly and continued to ask: "Will singing during the temple fair affect the trade of medicinal materials?"

"No, the temple fair lasts for several months. There is no need to rush it. It won't matter if it is delayed for a few days." Gang leader Lin said.

Except for following along with the crowd at first, Gan'ertou didn't say much. Then he suddenly said: "Several adults, they immediately talked about me waiting for Gan'er to come on stage. I was a little worried, so I left and went to watch."

After receiving the response, the head of the pole pushed towards the gathering place of the pole.

Zhang Jiebin said: "It's rare to see such a lively atmosphere. Everyone doesn't need to be restrained. Just go about your business. Brother Li and I will also watch a show."

Everyone nodded, and Zen Master Yuan Jing said: "I don't like the excitement, so I'll leave first."

After Zen Master Yuanjing finished speaking, he walked to Yaowang Temple. Gang leader Lin and the blind old man also followed. Gang leader Lin is the person in charge of this temple fair and will take charge of the overall situation at Yaowang Temple. The blind old man cannot watch the show, and on the stage

The plays mostly consist of actions and very little language, so it’s hard to listen to the play.

The area around Zhang Jiebin suddenly became empty, and at this time, a group of pole dogs, holding dog beating sticks in one hand and bowls in the other, jumped onto the stage with great skill, attracting bursts of applause from the audience.
