I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

The deputy envoy of the pharmacy has no real power.

To put it bluntly, I am just helping the ambassador.

He was using the situation to force Ji Fang to compromise. In fact, as long as Ji Fang could withstand the pressure and not sell the pharmacy to him, there would not be any big problem.

There will still be some troubles.

For example, the investigation revealed that the deputy envoy of the pharmacy had asked people to buy medicinal materials, but the pharmacy refused to give them the money. So he spent some money to hire officials from the yamen to go to the pharmacy every now and then to urge them to pay.

If we don't agree to sell medicinal herbs, it will affect the business of the shop.

The pharmacy deputy's method was a bit despicable, but most pharmacies would consider it as a hidden loss and sell the stored herbs at a low price to ensure safety.

These days, the government offices are like bandits to the common people.

It’s not that the law is bad.

But no matter how good the law is, it is still enforced by humans.

However, few officials are truly honest.

Xing Lun also talked about the issue of collecting medicinal materials from farmers, and then talked about the issue of Song Jin asking him to train personnel. In addition to purchasing from dental shops, he also recruited some people from farmers. In addition, Xing Lun and Zhou Wei knew each other as brothers, so they simply formed an information network.

Competent and loyal subordinates.

It cannot be cultivated overnight.

Even if you spend a lot of money, it may all go down the drain.

Song Jin invested most of the money he earned during this period. He bought houses in towns in various counties of Huizhou Prefecture as bases and gave them money to recruit subordinates.

Xing Lun handed Song Jin a thick booklet and an invitation.

It records recent events.

"Yesterday, Jifang received an invitation from the Huishang Guild. A banquet will be held at the Cantonese Restaurant on the first day of November." Xing Lun took out another invitation.

The gold-plated invitation is very exquisite.

Song Jin flipped it open and took a look, then put it aside. "Why would these people suddenly want to send an invitation to Jifang? Logically speaking, we are not qualified for their invitation."

Huizhou merchants are very famous throughout the country.

There are many things for sale, all kinds of them.

Only gatherings like those held by Shunxing Trading Company were eligible to attend. In the past, Jifang Pharmacy was like a little sparrow that accidentally wandered into a group of cranes.

Xing Lun was equally puzzled. "So, I'm also confused. Does the host want to participate?"

"I can't go in my situation. If you're not afraid of being swallowed, you can go and see the world." Song Jin couldn't go now because she was pregnant.

Xing Lun didn't plan to go after hearing this. "Jifang's business has no intention of expanding overseas, and there is no need to go for the time being. I won't go."

Just as Song Jin reminded.

Jifang is still too weak and not suitable to show himself in front of others.

Now, because Jifang has taken in the Song family's herbal farmers, it has come into the eyes of many bigwigs in the Huizhou merchant circle, but it is still weak and can only rely on Shun'an's protection to get time for development.

Attend this kind of discussion at this time.

Without the qualifications to be on an equal footing with others, one can only become fat meat on the chopping board.

There is really no need to get involved.

"I guess someone is eyeing Jifang's medicinal materials, so they sent us this invitation. The supply of medicinal materials will become increasingly tight over time, and there are people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to stockpile medicinal materials and get a piece of the pie."

Once the local drug dealers receive the news, they will no longer easily sell large quantities of medicinal materials at low prices.

There are only a few local drug dealers in Huizhou.

Two companies have already gone bankrupt, and suddenly Ji Fang emerges.

And in the entire Huizhou Prefecture, who currently has the most medicinal materials?

This year, Jifang ranks firmly in the top three.

Naihe Jifang sold all the medicinal materials to Shunan. Outsiders don’t know what the quality is, but it is said to be quite good, and Shunan purchased them at a high price.

There are many Huizhou merchants who want to contact the owner of Shunan Chamber of Commerce. However, Shunan's business is spread all over the country, and its owner's whereabouts are unknown.

The guests invited to the party at the Cantonese Restaurant were all local merchants from Huizhou. The owner of Jifang Pharmacy was a small shop, and most of them were from Huizhou. People even suspected that they were members of the Song family.

However, no one expressed their doubts in public as they avoided talking about the situation of the Song family.

This invitation is actually a test.

Xing Lun sat for a while and then left. Song Jin went out wearing a cloak and saw herbs on several mule carts being put into storage.

Yinlong is counting and then recording it in the account book.

In the pharmacy's master chef's preparation room, Father Xing and another master chef were busy at work, with several apprentices helping them.

Because these people have signed a contract to sell themselves.

Song Jin will also teach them some of the Song family's methods of preparing medicinal materials.

It can be said that 90% of the medicinal materials sold by this family have the characteristics of Song's medicinal materials. If they are sold on the market, they will definitely make a lot of money.

It was just sold to Shunan.

In the following days, Song Jin lived in the pharmacy.

The days are peaceful and stable.

Someone takes care of my daily life, and I can occasionally talk to Yinlong and others, and give them advice on how to prepare medicinal materials. It feels much more fulfilling than when I was in Qinjiagou.

Qin Chi has been to the pharmacy several times.

Sometimes he would bring Doctor Jing along to check Song Jin's pulse, but every time he came he would buy her some of the county's specialties.

Song Jin accepted it with a smile every time. In fact, she also discovered one thing, that Qin Chi's aura was getting stronger and stronger, or perhaps he didn't want to hide it.

Especially in front of Song Jin.

After leaving this door, Qin Chi will still have to cover up something.

Today, Qin Chi came over and brought Song Jin some bad news, "Your concubine sister had a miscarriage. She was lying in bed for so long, but she still couldn't save the baby."

Song Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Then everything returned to normal.

Qin Chi curled his lips and said, "There is another good news, do you want to hear it?"

"Go ahead, I'm listening." Song Jin didn't know what he was trying to keep in suspense.

"Yang Lingyu was reprimanded by the governor. It is said that he lost face. He was criticized for not maintaining strict law and order and for not being able to control a concubine, etc."

When Qin Chi talked about this, he patiently paid attention to the changes in Song Jin's expression.

After hearing that Yang Lingyu was in trouble, Song Jin's expression looked much better.

Song Jin asked, "What about Zeng?"

"Yang Lingyu sent her back to the Zeng family and even wrote a letter to release her."

She was sent back to her clan and a letter of release was written.

In the eyes of outsiders, Yang Lingyu was giving the other party a way out out of consideration for their old friendship.

Some scholars and literati think that Yang Lingyu's handling of the matter is impeccable. Some even say that he had good intentions and at least restored some of his reputation.

But it cannot erase the fact that he did not manage his family well.

There was a stain after all.

Because some people secretly felt that Zeng was a scapegoat and the person who actually made the mistake was Yang Lingyu. Anyway, the rumor got distorted as it spread.

Time flies like a white horse passing by.

Time seems to fly in a flash, and soon it is the end of the year.

The students of the academy have gone on holiday.

Qin Chi came back from the county town and stopped by the pharmacy to pick up Song Jin.

After only half a month of not seeing him, his wife's belly had grown bigger.
