Chapter 113: This is not what it used to be

Ruzhou Guangrentang.

Mr. Meng, the owner of the pharmacy, personally sent the distinguished guests out, and looked at them like their parents.

"Boss Wang. If you have such good ginseng in the future, you must think about me!"

Meng Haochuan is also a person who wants to be shameless. He doesn't want to be too disgraceful in front of his subordinates, but facing the old man in front of him, he has to kneel down. This old man has someone ginseng in his hand, the best ginseng.

Not to mention that it has been a long time since there is such a good quality and so much ginseng on the market in Ruzhou, it is rare in Yuzhou.

Since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the price of ginseng has been rising year by year, because the Qing Dynasty royal family is so good. So the bastards in the Ministry of Internal Affairs monopolized the ginseng outside the pass and Goryeo.

Although the problem of ginseng dig and ginseng is becoming increasingly serious, and officials and businessmen colluded with each other, a complete industrial chain has been formed in the past century after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. For example, ginseng can be seen in important medicinal materials such as Yuzhou.

But this thing is shameful after all, and the quality of mountain ginseng that can be seen on the market is also insurmountable and huge gap between the real good ginseng.

Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, ginseng that was only a dozen taels of silver per pound was now in the 39th year of Qianlong's reign. It was already able to buy more than 800 miles of silver all year round. Moreover, this was the market price of the last fifth-class ginseng in the palace, and it was still priceless all year round.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs divided the wild ginseng outside the pass into nine grades. Each branch weighed 1 to 1.5 taels, each branch weighed about 1 to 1 taels, the second grade was about 1 taels, the third grade was about 0.8 taels, the fourth grade was again, and the fifth grade was half taels.

These are all the weights of dry ginseng. According to the standard of 1:4 of dry ginseng fresh ginseng, there are six liang when the first ginseng is unearthed. Let’s refer to the old saying “Seven liang is ginseng and eight liang is treasure”. It is also appropriate to buy more than 6,000 liang of silver (one pound) for the market price of first ginseng.

Only ginseng above the fifth grade are eligible to enter the palace. These treasures that are difficult for ordinary people to see can be as many as thousands of kilograms of inventories or tributes in the Qing Palace every year. Therefore, the ginseng stored in the Ministry of Internal Affairs often has excessive backlogs or insect-eaten problems. In this case, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will submit a note to ask the order to transport the backlogs to a wealthy place for sale.

The price of ginseng is so raised by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and people in the world also take this bite. Is there a royal light shining?

The first is the number of wild ginseng that "Wang Qing" took out. The second is that the five-shaped and six-body body are excellent. The weight of the single body is better than the first-class ginseng in the same year on the market. But even so, it is mostly classified as the fifth-class ginseng sequence. The price of Meng Haochuan's 1,000 taels per kilogram is also called Wang Qing's heart.

"What did Mr. Meng say? We are old friends. Why don't we think of Guangrentang if we have good things?"

"Wang Qing" touched the silver notes in his sleeve. This was the banknote of the Gongyi Kang Family Bank, which could be spent in the entire Central Plains. The Kang Family, who had been rich for two hundred years, had a huge influence in the Central Plains, Guanzhong and western Shandong.

And Ruzhou is next to Heluo, which is the hinterland of the Kang family. The Kang family's silver bill has indisputable credibility here.

The Guangrentang owner in front of him was generous and gave him even more money. Even if he didn't need to come to Ruzhou to find out the news, "Wang Qing" would not lose the big employer.

Although the ginseng he brought out was definitely the best among the three-point fields in western Henan.

With three thousand taels of silver notes in hand, Wang Qing took a powerful entourage behind him and slowly returned to the inn where he stayed. He felt happy along the way. He only took less than 20% of the ginseng handed over by Zhao Liang. He wanted to sell all of them. Isn’t it easy to get the 20,000 taels of silver?

Now not only does he have the funds for the next year's activities, but he also has sufficient nutrients for those small seedlings.

Before the person could enter the inn, he saw the little brother in the store leaning out at the door of the store. When he saw Wang Qing, his eyes flashed with golden light.

"Mr. Wang is back?" The waiter greeted warmly. It's all money. "Short after you went out, a young master came to you and is still waiting in your yard..."

‘Wang Qing’ booked a yard.

"Oh!" 'Wang Qing' was very satisfied with the waiter's service attitude and threw out a piece of silver when he shook his hand.

The waiter happily took it.

In the past two days, he has earned a full month's salary from this Mr. Wang.

"Wang Qing" already knew who was here to "visit" him. This time he came to Ruzhou, and it was him and two servants in secret, and his son Peng Bingkang followed him because he wanted to inquire about the eldest lady of the Kang family. It would be better for his son to do this kind of work himself.

Peng Bingkang has been looking for people these two days. A few people who had done things in the Meng family had already pried open their mouths.

Not to mention the performance of the father and son after they met in the yard, just talking about the small militia at Longlukou in Chenzhou Prefecture at this time, it was already in full swing.

Because the Zhao family made a formal statement, they wanted to select 30 people from the militia to serve as a guard.

Although there are not many people here who can actually go to the Zhao family’s new home, and the rest are more to be divided into the Zhao family’s industries as security guards, but for the strong men of the militia, this is also a “one-step up”!

They were originally just tenant households and civilians at Longlukou, such as Zhang Damazi, whose family couldn't even eat enough.

But now if he can be selected as a guard, even if he is just a security guard, his income in that year would be enough to support his family.

And his wife and children are not all disabled. They only need to plant a few acres of land, and their family's life will change drastically. And even if he can't choose this time, what about the future?

Zhang Damazi felt that he had more success and direction.

Zhang Songnian and Zhang Songling brothers got together again and frown again.

After the news of the Emperor's personal writing was sent back by the Zhao family, the Zhang family was completely overwhelmed by the Zhao family. But Zhang Songnian and Zhang Songling also extinguished the idea of ​​competing with the Zhao family.

This is the power of the word "huang"!

But another important reason is that although the Zhang family was overthrown by the Zhao family, at the intersection of Longlu, the Zhang family is still the largest landlord, and their family still has the largest number of tenants.

No one can ignore the importance of the Zhang family locally!

Although the Zhao family holds three hundred group training in their hands, Zhang Songnian and Zhang Songling brothers believe that group training cannot last forever.

Then when Minglun was in power, there could be a group training, but when the next prefect is in power, who dares to say that there can be a group training?

This is like a hard-working author. One book has good grades. Hey, it makes money, but who can guarantee that the next book will still have good grades?

So the brothers Zhang Songnian and Zhang Songling were not anxious.

But now it's different.

The Zhao family's surname actually found a brighter new "way" for the militia Lian Yong, who had no "way" to do. Now the Zhao family's strength completely crushed the Zhang family in all aspects.

Because everyone knows that the Zhao family's industries will only grow bigger and bigger. Songhelou is a restaurant that was praised by the emperor. How could it be when the door closed down?

As long as the Zhao family continues to open restaurants like this, there will only be more people who need to guard the house in the future. Wouldn’t such people also be the “tenants” of the Zhao family?

How can the Zhang family, which is called land-based, compare?
