"There are many aristocratic families who are interested. After all, those medicinal materials are not valuable at all. Herbal medicines are everywhere in the mountains and plains." What Wei Min said is the truth. People in this era have a very poor understanding of medicinal herbs.
For example, Wei Min himself, any middle school student in later generations will know that dandelion clears away heat and detoxifies, but he only knows that it is a kind of grass.
The limitation of cognition and the lack of emphasis on traditional Chinese medicine made him and those aristocratic families regard herbal medicine as something worthless.
Perhaps they only know those ginseng, snow lotus, and fleece-flower root that are truly believed to be great supplements.
No wonder good medical personnel have to add the word "servant" to the end. No matter how you hear it, it is not a good title.
Wei Cheng was not in a mood to give Wei Min the importance of popularizing Chinese medicine. When he heard that many aristocratic families were interested in exchanging herbs for food, Wei Cheng couldn't help but have a vicious plan in his mind.
The next day. Notices were posted again at the Anyi site. This time Wei Cheng increased the number and types of herbs needed to one hundred.
Moreover, Wei Cheng also carefully disclosed the cultivation methods of various herbal medicines, which clearly pointed out which areas and landforms were suitable for the cultivation of which herbal medicines, as well as the economic value that these herbal medicines could bring.
For example: Dendrobium officinale, ten pounds of grain for one pound of fresh Dendrobium, which shocked everyone's jaws.
This is much simpler than growing food directly! Moreover, one kilogram of herbs can be exchanged for ten kilograms of food. No matter how hard the herbs are produced, it seems that this transaction cannot be a loss, right?
Xie's mansion. Old man Xie was still sitting by the small pond fishing. However, there are many people behind him today, and these people are all heads of famous families and talkers.
In terms of seniority, Grandpa Xie is the oldest in Hedong County. No matter what, the family under the leadership of the Wei family is vaguely headed by Grandpa Xie, and they all want to hear his thoughts and opinions.
Wei Teng's so-called strategy of exchanging herbs for food actually seemed to them to be Chi Guoguo's conspiracy. During the Spring and Autumn Period, who knows about Qi's use of silk to expand its borders?
The so-called expansion of borders through silk silk is the so-called planting mulberry trees to invade the country for small countries such as Lu and Liang. This allusion must be known to many readers who study economics. Even if not, perhaps readers who are knowledgeable have heard of it.
In order to win over Lu and Liang, Qi State came up with such a dirty trick without spending a single soldier.
The whole country of Qi admired silk fabrics, and the price of silk fabrics increased dozens of times in just a few months, and they continued to purchase silk from abroad.
When the surrounding small countries heard the news, they planted a large number of mulberry trees, hoping to make a lot of money in the coming year.
Two or three years later, small countries such as Lu and Liang no longer had half an acre of cultivated land, and all fertile land was planted with mulberry trees.
At this time, Qi State suddenly stipulated that the whole country was not allowed to wear silk fabrics. The states of Lu and Liang could only look at the mulberry trees all over the mountains and plains and sigh. The people were so impoverished and the country was so impoverished that they were captured by Qi within a few years.
This is probably what it means, a very typical economic war between countries.
"Mr. Xie, please give us a clear path."
"Whether Wei's move is about crossing the silk to expand the territory, I would like Mr. Xie to give me a clear explanation."
“Mr.
Everyone was talking behind him, seemingly unable to disturb his leisurely time. In fact, it was not the case. At this time, Old Master Xie was also very entangled in his mind. He sighed that this grandson-in-law had given him another big problem. But he knew clearly that it was Wei Cheng's conspiracy and could not say anything at this time.
Because neither he nor anyone else can let go of that huge profit. In this era, food and cloth are the eternal currency. As long as there is a large amount of food, the family's dominance will not relax.
Although they have been allocated a large amount of land from the Wei family, and spring plowing has already begun.
However, it will take at least three months to wait for harvest. And 90% of the food in Hedong County is in the hands of the Wei family. The so-called landlords have no surplus food, and they are talking about them now.
This is also the main reason why so many aristocratic families gather here. In fact, it is to seek empathy. As long as you have been deceived, it doesn't seem to matter much if I was deceived once.
Everyone knew that it was Wei Cheng's conspiracy to trick them into growing herbal medicine, but who could not be tempted when faced with a tenfold profit difference?
Everyone is betting that they can turn the medicinal fields into cultivated land before the Wei family no longer needs the medicinal herbs, so as not to turn into another Lu or Liang state.
However, they didn't know that Wei Cheng was not targeting them. A tile-roofed house in the south of the city. Two young men dressed as scholars sat opposite each other.
Cheng Yu, named Zhongde, was from Dong'a, Dongjun, Yanzhou. He was the first person Guo Jia suggested to Cao Cao to recruit. Xiahou Dun, Zi Yuanrang, well, he still has two eyes.
"Brother Zhongde, what do you think about the exchange of herbs for food?" Xiahou Dun was not just a reckless man, he had already seen through the intention, but he also wanted to hear Cheng Yu's opinion.
Cheng Yu is also Yun Yunwu, a rare talent, and he joined Cao Cao's command with his troops. Now he is very respected by Cao Cao.
This time the two of them came to Hedong together. They were arranged by Guo Jia to secretly purchase a batch of iron tires to expand their armaments. The iron tires smelted by Wei's Longshan had already been sold to the outside world. Although the price was not cheap, the iron tires were really good. ah!
"Yuan Rang, please be patient and let me think about it carefully." The big man from Shandong was also careful sometimes, and he was really tangled when he got into trouble.
Cheng Yunong frowned slightly and stared blankly at the stables outside the window for a while. At this moment, a man dressed as a groom hurried in outside the door.
"Two generals, please take a look at this latest notice." Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun stood up at the same time, alert to their surroundings, fearing that too much movement would attract Wei's attention.
"Hey, why does this so-called Bai Shu look so familiar?" Xiahou Dun frowned. The visitor smiled and nodded,
"General, you must have recognized it, right? Do you still remember the small mountain valley outside our city? The general went there to fight last time." Xiahou Dun was startled for a moment, then he was overjoyed and nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, they are undoubtedly those shrubs. , I just didn’t expect it to be called Baizhu.” The visitor said excitedly: “General, look down again.” This time it was Cheng Yu who read the words on the paper,
"One pound of Atractylodes macrocephala can be exchanged for three kilograms of grain, and one kilogram of white peony root can be exchanged for five kilograms of grain." Atractylodes, white peony root, salvia miltiorrhiza, isatis root, honeysuckle, rehmannia glutinosa, licorice, and safflower are all relatively high-yielding Chinese herbal medicines in Heze County in later generations. where?
It is within Yanzhou in this time and space. The paper not only marked the value of these herbs, but also carefully noted the artificial cultivation and cultivation of these herbs.
Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun were so excited that they had automatically filtered out the risks. Not to mention that the food production in this era is not high enough, but the profit of three times, four times and five times, in their view, is a sure-profit business. How can one make money by growing food, but growing herbs?
