It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.
Chapter 116 Almost exposed
After Song Zhi pondered for a moment, she said, "It's not a big deal. My Lord, just choose a vacant lot and build a few spacious thatched huts."
"We need to set up a few stoves to fry the tea leaves. The rest is to prepare some drying racks and bamboo sieves."
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "This is a simple matter. I will build the tea-making and tea-preparing facilities as soon as possible, and then the tea-making and tea-preparing matters will be handed over to Miss Song."
Song Zhi stood up and agreed quickly.
After discussing the construction site issue, Zhou Yu continued, "I will replace the village heads tomorrow. I also hope that Miss Song will come to the county government office at noon tomorrow to instruct everyone on how to pick the fruits. I hope this will be implemented in all villages as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, sir. I will be there tomorrow." Song Zhixin vowed.
Zhou Yu was worried about this matter and wanted to go back and discuss it with his subordinates as soon as possible.
So he said, "Madam Song, do you have any other ideas? If not, I will take my leave first!"
Song Zhi also stood up. "I don't have any ideas, but there is one thing I think I should tell Your Excellency."
Song Zhi then told the county magistrate about his trip to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and how he and Li Xiangcheng and others bought medicine.
"Medicine is closely related to people's livelihood. While it's understandable that a shop is run for profit, I believe we can agree on a maximum price based on the drug dealer's quote, allowing clinics to set their own prices within that upper limit."
"This way, the people will benefit, and the hospitals under our jurisdiction will also be able to develop further in the long term. Isn't that better?"
Zhou Yu was shocked, and he subconsciously looked at the person in front of him again.
He really didn't expect that a little peasant girl would have such knowledge.
Song Zhi felt uneasy when she was looked at by the other party.
He secretly said "Oops" that the conversation was going too smoothly, but he forgot that saying so much could easily arouse suspicion.
She justified herself by saying, "It's also because my younger brother needs to take medicine all year round, and our family is deeply in debt."
"I often wonder if medicine prices were lower, our family's life would be better, we wouldn't have to sell our land, and my uncle and brother wouldn't have to work day and night..."
She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "This is my selfish wish. I hope every household won't have to worry about not being able to afford medicine. I'm afraid the doctors in the clinic will hate me for what I said today..."
It turned out that someone in the family needed to take medicine all year round. Only people who were in such a predicament would worry so much.
Zhou Yu retracted his inquiring gaze and said comfortingly, "You are not wrong. Although opening a shop to make money is natural, there must be a limit."
"Moreover, medicine concerns the health of the people, and medical clinics also serve the purpose of curing illnesses and saving lives. They are fundamentally different from ordinary shops, and should not be used as a tool for personal enrichment."
"Your suggestion of establishing a maximum price limit, allowing clinics to set prices freely within a reasonable range, is quite novel and feasible."
"This will not only ensure that the price of medicinal materials does not become too high and harm the interests of the people, but it will also, to a certain extent, prevent medical clinics from relying on selling herbs to make money, thus promoting the healthy development of medical clinics."
Zhou Yu tapped his fingers on the table as he spoke, as if thinking about how to put this idea into practice.
"However, the specific implementation still requires careful planning. How to determine this maximum price must take into account both the cost of the medicinal materials and the reasonable profit of the clinic. I will discuss this matter after I return."
"I, on behalf of the people of this county, would like to thank you again for speaking out for justice. If not for you, I might not have thought of this."
Song Zhi acted frightened and tried to decline the offer. She then said that the other party had worked hard to govern the county and benefit the people during the year since he came to the county, and she praised him highly.
Zhou Yu was actually very impatient to hear others flattering him in front of them, but for some reason, he saw that the other party kept praising him.
He just felt funny in his heart.
He just sat there, watching the other person brag about himself without repeating himself, until the other person was really at a loss for words and looked at him embarrassedly.
Zhou Yu finally couldn't help but chuckle. That laugh was deep and magnetic. "Thank you for letting me know that I have so many good qualities in the hearts of the people."
Liang Tian, who was following behind him, couldn't help but curl his lips.
This young lady's eloquence is really amazing. The first time I saw her arguing with that fat woman, she made the other person helpless.
In the second episode, in order to regain his own ground, he actually pointed out the problems in Caoshi’s construction.
This time, not only did he give the young master some ideas on opening a state-run shop, but he also made the young master very happy.
Listen to the teasing tone in his young master's reply just now. He had never heard this before.
Song Zhi also felt that she had been too flattering just now, and couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
Zhou Yu didn't want to embarrass the other party too much. He stood up and said, "Let's leave it at that for today. I'll invite Miss Song to come to the county government office again tomorrow."
"Of course, of course, I will go there tomorrow!"
Seeing that she agreed, Zhou Yu left the shop first.
He had to go back and discuss an implementation plan with his subordinates as soon as possible.
After Zhou Yu left, Song Zhi also led her younger brother out of the pastry shop.
After the siblings left the pastry shop, Song Zhi did not take the younger brother to find the older brother, but went straight to the original vegetable market.
"Sister, where are we going?" Song An asked in confusion when he saw that his sister did not go to the grass market in the east of the city.
"Grandma said we're running out of mung beans, so we need to buy some more."
Song An said "Oh" and followed Song Zhi's steps.
Song Zhi arrived at the vegetable market and went straight to the stall selling mung beans.
"Auntie, how much is a pound of your mung beans?" Song Zhi squatted down and asked after looking at the appearance of the mung beans.
Seeing a customer asking for the price, the woman greeted enthusiastically: "Mung beans are five cents a pound. How many do you need?"
Song Zhi was stunned when she heard this. She couldn't help but paused while grabbing the mung beans. She frowned and asked, "Isn't it four cents a pound? Why did the price go up?"
She expected the price of mung beans to go up, but she didn't expect it to go up so quickly.
What she couldn't understand was that she didn't buy many mung beans outside, so why did the price go up?
The woman explained, "You know the hottest jelly in town right now, right?"
Song Zhi nodded.
The woman said mysteriously, "I heard it's made from these mung beans. Now many people have bought these mung beans to try, and the price has gone up a bit!"
She looked like she had seen through everything and asked, "Young lady, are you going to buy some mung beans and learn how to make jelly?"
Song Zhi did not answer this question, but asked: "Aunt, if I buy all your mung beans, can you give me a discount?"
The woman looked back at the two large bags of mung beans she had pushed over and asked again uncertainly, "Are you really going to take all of these?"
