Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

Huimin Pharmacy did not disappear due to the end of the free clinic.

On the contrary, because of the low price and the excellent skills and attitude of everyone from the doctors to the waiters, especially after the merger with the cloth shop, more and more patients came for hospitalization, and there was a subtle trend of insufficient hospitals.

Master Qi is an extremely dedicated and responsible person. The staff in the pharmacy is becoming increasingly short-staffed, and in order to save money, he simply called his son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law to help out some time ago.

The medicine shop was on the right track, so she didn't have to worry about it anymore. There were new arrangements for the planting of medicinal herbs, so she didn't have to worry about it for now. The corpses in Bianhe Village had been cleared. Influenced by Ding Lisheng and Zhao Lin's imprisonment, Hu Qinglu took the initiative to claim the corpses of the boys and girls in the ice cellar without her explanation.

The inventory of the academy has been completed, and the account books are placed in the study. Also influenced by Ding Lisheng and Zhao Lin's imprisonment, Lei Dehou did not wait for her explanation and took the initiative to join the property inventory of each family.

After sorting out the dispute registration forms that had just been handled on the desk, Chen Shao stood up and returned to Chengfeng Courtyard. He placed the dispute registration forms in his hand on the previously handled pile and sighed: "There are more than 400 disputes. The earliest one was ten years ago, and the most recent one was three months ago. It can be seen that..."

She did not say anything else, but turned around and asked Quan Shuyu: "Which manor did Liu Deming and his men deal with?"

Quan Shuyu replied, "I just finished dealing with the Gu family's farm two days ago, and now I'm dealing with the Fan family's farm."

"It's quite fast." Chen Shao said in surprise.

Quan Shuyu smiled, "One after another, the speed cannot be slow even if we want to."

Chen Shao smiled and said, "This group of students have developed the ability to do things, but whether they can take on responsibilities remains to be seen."

Quan Shuyu tentatively said, “Young Master seems to have high hopes for them.”

Chen Shao looked at the pile of dispute registration forms and said meaningfully, "Most people study to become good officials, but after entering the officialdom, facing fame and fortune, they gradually lose their original intentions. Just like this pile of disputes, let alone every day, if they could spare half an hour every ten days, there wouldn't be so many piles. With inaction to this extent, it's not unfair that Datong has fallen into the current situation."

This was such an outrageous remark that Quan Shuyu dared not respond.

Fortunately, Chen Shao did not intend to let her answer the call. She just felt a little emotional after hearing too many complaints from the people when dealing with these disputes recently. After calming down, she asked again, "How about you? How far have you investigated?"

"As for the treasury, we have already checked the Wen family and the Zhu family, and we are now checking the Gu family." Although Quan Shuyu has been following her to deal with those disputes recently, she has not fallen behind in the progress of the check. "The grain warehouse is slower, and we are still checking the Gu family. It may take another three to five days to complete the check. I have put the account books that have been checked in the study. As for the shops..."

Quan Shuyu said carefully, "Shopkeeper Fang gave me the integration plan for the cloth shop the day before yesterday, but after I took a general look at it... the idea is good, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to implement."

"Show it to me." Chen Shao ordered.

Quan Shuyu returned to the east wing and took the plan.

Chen Shao raised his eyebrows after just one look.

Manager Fang's plan did not consider whether the rich and the common people could tolerate each other. In his imagination, there was only one cloth shop in the entire Hongyuan County. No matter what your status was, you could not buy cloth except this cloth shop. Naturally, there was no question of tolerance.

In order to ensure that there was only one cloth shop in Hongyuan County, he even listed various measures to prevent other merchants from opening cloth shops.

In addition, in order to ensure the business of the cloth shop, he also listed various regulations to prevent the people of Hongyuan County from secretly going to other counties to buy cloth.

After reading Shopkeeper Fang's plan, Chen Shao finally understood why Quan Shuyu was so careful with his words: "He's trying to force a sale."

Chan Yi took the plan curiously, and Fu Jiu also came over. After the two of them read it together, Chan Yi couldn't help laughing and said, "If we really do business according to his plan, it won't take more than a few years. Not to mention that the soldiers at the border will no longer be short of food and clothing, I'm afraid that even two more national coffers won't be able to hold the money he earns."

Quan Shuyu laughed out loud, "That's what he said to me. He said that as long as we control the restaurants, drugstores, cloth shops, rice shops, etc. like salt and iron, we won't be afraid of not making money. As long as we have money, we won't be afraid of fighting another hundred years of war."

Chan Yi laughed: "Does he think money is like crops and can grow out of the ground?"

Before Quan Shuyu could reply, Fu Jiu retorted, "I think his idea is great. There are so many people who come to Huimin Pharmacy for treatment every day that Qiye and his men are almost overwhelmed. If the restaurant, cloth shop, and rice shop are under our control like Huimin Pharmacy, and if we can control the prices well, there will definitely be a constant stream of people coming to buy and sell."

To prove that what he said made sense, he said to Li Tianliu who had just returned: "Are you right?"

Li Tianliu had no idea what was going on, so he naturally didn't respond. He threw the two letters he had just received to Chen Shao and said, "A letter from the General of the State and the capital."

While Chen Shao was reading the letter, Fu Jiu handed Manager Fang's proposal to Li Tianliu. Before he finished reading, she hurriedly repeated what she had just said. After he finished reading, she urged, "What do you think?"

After Li Tianliu read Manager Fang's proposal again, he said, "I think it's good too."

Fu Jiu immediately looked at Quan Shuyu and Chanyi with pride: "How is it?"

Chan Yi sneered, "Not so good! There are so many people coming to see the doctor because it was expensive before, and the good farmland was occupied by the Zhu and Gu families, so it has been delayed until now. After a year or so, business will slowly recover."

Li Tianliu glanced at Chen Shao and said slowly, "Isn't that better? The fields occupied by the Zhu and Gu families are returned to them. After a year or so, their illnesses will all be cured. As long as they work hard, they will have more and more spare money. Then, they will be able to eat, wear, and use more and more exquisite things."

Quan Shuyu held Chanyi's hand and asked slowly, "What about the merchants now? There are at least several thousand merchants in Hongyuan County. If all the businesses are really taken over by the government, what will they eat and wear?"

Fu Jiu said as a matter of course: "Then let's go farm."

Quan Shuyu smiled and asked him, "If the young master doesn't want you now, what do you plan to do for a living?"

Fu Jiu was startled, and immediately stood behind Chen Shao, and asked with a vigilant look on her face: "Why doesn't the young master want me?"
