Shengze frowned when he heard her talk about cooperation, "How do you want to cooperate? If the prescription is given to them, there will be no guarantee for you, and this matter is completely a transaction between you and Jingrentang, and between you and Hubei What’s the connection?”
He didn't mind Shen Qingqian's personal dealings with Jing Rentang, but he didn't want to see her suffer.
Shen Qing smiled slightly and said: "Since I dare to give, I will naturally have a backup plan. Otherwise, why would I want to involve Hubei? With the government's endorsement, even if Jing Rentang wants to play tricks, he has to think carefully."
"Do you want the northern Hubei government to supervise you?" Sheng Ze relaxed after hearing this, and followed her train of thought, "This can indeed give you the greatest protection, but if it's just supervision, I'm afraid it's not enough."
Shen Qingqian nodded, "So this cooperation is not a two-party cooperation between me and Jing Rentang, but a three-way cooperation between me, Jing Rentang and the northern Hubei government."
"What else does the government do besides supervision?" Sheng Ze really has no experience in doing business, and he can't share Shen Qingqian's thoughts for the time being.
Shen Qingqian explained patiently: "The role of the government is not only to supervise, but also to provide us with conveniences, such as preferential tariffs for patent medicines sold outside the customs. If there are precious medicines, the government may need to send someone to escort them or set up an official caravan. etc."
In addition, this can be regarded as using tiger skin as a banner. When outsiders heard that it was a business of the Northern Hubei government, even if they were jealous of the profits of the patent medicine, they did not dare to make a decision easily.
Sheng Ze suddenly understood and figured it out. Then he looked at Shen Qingqian with more complicated eyes, "Okay, I will leave this matter to you. I will find a solution from the Northern Hubei government."
Nowadays, on the surface, Northern Hubei belongs to the imperial court, and the government in northern Hubei is still controlled by the imperial court. Some things should be carried out in a low-key manner.
With his words, Shen Qingqian felt confident about cooperating with Jing Rentang. She picked up the tea cup and took a few sips of tea.
Shengze also lowered his eyes to drink tea, and for a while, neither of them spoke.
There is a coal stove in Mr. Qin's hall. The room that was cold just now has warmed up. However, because the stove is rarely used, Mr. Qin does not install an exhaust pipe.
Shen Qingqian felt a little bored, so she stood up and opened the window a crack.
When she turned around, her eyes happened to catch Shengze's eyes on her.
"I'm going out of seclusion tonight." Shengze suddenly said.
Shen Qingqian had guessed before that he might be looking for Princess Cheng Yu. He was not surprised when he heard this. He nodded and said, "Then please pay attention to your safety."
"You..." Don't you have anything else to say to me? Shengze wanted to ask this, but in the end he didn't say it, "I will come back safely. If you are in a hurry, you can go to Ling Yun."
Shen Qingqian nodded without speaking, but after thinking about it, she took out a bottle of universal antidote pill from the system warehouse and handed it to him, "If you are poisoned, remember to take medicine in time."
Although she doesn't like the Sheng family, she will never forget that Sheng Ze saved them.
Shengze held the medicine bottle she gave him, and the extinguished flames in his eyes were ignited again, and he couldn't help but smile a little, "I remember."
After saying this, Shengze said goodbye and left.
Shen Qingqian stood at the door of the hall, stared at the door for a moment, then turned and returned to his room.
In these troubled times, how difficult is it to find peace in a corner? I hope Shengze’s trip goes smoothly.
…
It was three days before Shen Qingqian had time to go to Jingrentang. In the past few days, there were several medicinal materials available in the secret recipe greenhouse. She was busy harvesting them in the morning and teaching Shen Jun and the others how to prepare the medicinal materials in the afternoon. It was not until today that she had time to go into the city.
"Ah, Miss Shen Liu, you're finally here! Come on, come on, we're inviting you inside!" The clerk in the store invited Shen Qingqian in with great enthusiasm.
