Reborn, meet you again!

Song Wan went to the Prime Minister's Residence early this morning. It was already past noon, and after being reminded by Jiang Zheng, he really felt a little hungry. He took Liu's hand and said "OK" with a smile.

After lunch, Song Wan did not leave.

Instead, he sat down and talked about the Jiang family's business with Jiang Zheng and Liu.

When this matter was mentioned, Jiang Zheng's brows seemed to be tied in a knot.

"Your mother and I have been doing some thorough research these days. Most of the well-known industries in Shangjing City are backed by someone."

"Our Jiang family has just arrived in Kyoto. If we want to gain a foothold in Shangjing and get a piece of the pie, we will probably face a lot of suppression."

In fact, he had thought about this situation before coming to Beijing.

But at that time, he received news from his daughter that Pei Qingyan had returned with military merit... His daughter said that if he really couldn't stay in Jiangnan, he could come to the Marquis' Mansion and start a new life.

Who knew that as soon as they arrived in Beijing, something unexpected happened...

Jiang Zheng thought for a moment and continued.

"But no matter what, this first step must be taken."

"I've thought about it. Our Jiang family started out in the medicinal materials business, and later gradually got involved in silk and jade."

"Although the profits from businesses like silk and jade are much higher than those from medicinal herbs, we are starting over now and shouldn't be too involved in too many industries. It's best to proceed steadily and do what we are most confident of, starting with the medicinal herbs business!"

Song Wan was also very clear about Jiang Zheng and Liu's movements these days.

The reason why she decided to set up a stall on the street and risk arousing suspicion to make her medical skills public was not only because of her grandmother, but also because she had made plans for this.

"Father is right. However, the medical clinics and drug stores in Shangjing City now have stable sources of supply. There must be interests involved. It will not be easy for Father to replace them."

"My daughter thinks that since our Jiang family has connections, instead of trading in medicinal herbs, we might as well open our own medicine shop!"

Liu looked at the expression on her daughter's face, which seemed to indicate that she had a plan in mind, and couldn't help but ask.

"Qiao Qiao, this medicine shop is different from the medicinal materials business. You can't just open it up like that."

"Your father and I have been familiar with many pharmacies in Shangjing these days. Most of them are well-established and the quality of their medicines is also very good."

"People are extremely cautious when it comes to medicine, and most of them choose to trust the old brands they're used to."

"Although you're well-known in Shangjing now, you're still a girl after all. You can't really go out and open a clinic every day. Besides, you can't support this business by yourself. Do you have any other good ideas?"

Song Wan looked at Liu and smiled brightly.

"Yes, if it's the same thing, it's naturally difficult to get ahead. But what if the medicine we sell is easier to take and more effective?"

"My daughter wants to open a shop that only sells 'patent medicines'!"

A hint of doubt flashed across Jiang Zheng's eyes when he heard this.

"A patent medicine?"

Song Wan nodded.

"That's right. Nowadays, most of the pharmacies in Tianqi only dispense medicine based on prescriptions. After the people take the medicine home, they still have to take the trouble to boil it themselves. If they can't control the heat or the boiling method, the medicinal properties will inevitably be lost, and it will also be time-consuming and laborious."

"Our Jiang family pharmacy only sells medicines for everyday ailments, and we convert them into pills for sale. This way, we only need to hire a group of people to make the medicine, and then have a doctor in each pharmacy prescribe the medicine according to the severity of the symptoms and the dosage."

"My daughter happened to get two medical books. They have many prescriptions and methods for making medicines. This can ensure that these medicines produced centrally not only have minimal loss of efficacy, but are also much more economical and hassle-free than getting the medicine yourself!"

"We manufacture these pills in a centralized manner, which costs less than a regular dose of medicine."

"Do you think this method might work, Father or Mother?"

Song Wan heard these ideas from the strange old man Lu Ming, and at first they seemed a bit unconventional.

But if you think carefully about some of the contents in his notes, you will understand the benefits.

After all, Jiang Zheng has been doing business for many years.

Soon I smelled the business opportunity.

"Qiao Qiao, what you said is true. This medicine is a matter of life and death, and we can't be careless in the slightest."

Song Wan didn't hesitate at all.

"Don't worry, father. Your daughter is confident."

Once, on a whim, she made some medicine according to the records in the old man's notes, and secretly ran out to treat some refugees.

For those common diseases, she simply used these ready-made medicines to give them in appropriate dosages, and there had never been any problems.

She was confident in her medical skills, and even more confident in the pharmaceutical preparation methods recorded in the old man Lu Ming's notes.

Although she often sneaked out and was discovered by her father, and even the people who sneaked out with her were scolded...

But she actually enjoyed it very much.

Thinking of this, a blank suddenly flashed through Song Wan's mind.

The one who was scolded together?

No, she seemed to have run away alone at that time...

But at that moment, a figure suddenly flashed through her mind.

It seems to be the attire of a secret guard...

Could it be... Song Jiu?

But she clearly remembered that she seemed to have sneaked out alone.

Is this some kind of memory confusion after the resurrection of the dead?

Song Wan thought about it and put this idea aside for the time being.

"If you're worried, Dad, I can try making some medicine first."

"If Father thinks it's feasible, we'll choose two shops in good locations and renovate them properly, and give it a try first."

Jiang Zheng had witnessed his daughter's medical skills with his own eyes these days, and hearing his daughter speak so confidently, he gained some confidence.

He originally thought that if it really didn't work out, he could only give up more profits and sell the medicines at low prices to a few pharmacies first. After all, he was confident in the quality of the medicines in the hands of the herbal farmers he often cooperated with.

Take it slow and you will always build up some reputation.

But if what my daughter said is true, this "prepared medicine" would be a good business with no competition.

only……

"That's a good idea, but it brings us back to square one."

"We are now in Shangjing. If something like this were to happen, it would definitely harm the interests of many people. By then, I'm afraid there would be a lot of trouble."

It’s not that Jiang Zheng is timid, it’s just that he has to think about this problem.

Precisely because they are doing something unconventional, the pressure they face from their peers will only be more severe.

Especially when it comes to things like medicine, there are too many things that can be tampered with. The Jiang family is new and has no background, so others will not be afraid of them at all.

If their pharmacy was really successful and caused someone to become jealous and wary of them, it might even ruin the Jiang family's future.
