"Mr. Tian, I was just joking with Feng Zhengchu. How can a little medicinal material be really worth two thousand taels?"
Zhao Ping smiled and said, "I'll get a reward, just one hundred taels."
"You should also keep the thousand taels of silver from the Feng family. It can be regarded as the compensation I asked for for the young lady."
"you……"
Tian Fuhai didn't expect Zhao Ping to say that. He looked at him deeply and saw that he didn't seem to be joking.
Then he laughed and said, "Doctor Zhao, you are really a wonderful person."
"Two thousand taels of silver is not a small sum for our Tian family. I appreciate your kindness."
"If you have any needs, just ask me. As long as I, Tian Fuhai, can do it, I will never frown."
Zhao Ping said: "Master Tian, then I'm not welcome."
"I want a carriage. It's best to give me two horses. I wonder if Mr. Tian can satisfy me?"
"That's it?"
Tian Fuhai was stunned again.
Just now when Zhao Ping was treating Tian Rou, Zhou An had already reported to him what happened in Xiping Village.
Tian Fuhai also believed that Zhao Ping was an expert hermit.
He originally thought that Zhao Ping would use the two thousand taels of silver to plan on the above sentence and plan to go to Beijing.
The result was a carriage and two horses.
"That's a lot."
Zhao Ping sighed.
The horses of the Dawei Dynasty were very precious, and Zhao Ping had asked Li Shou about them before.
Just an ordinary thin horse costs twenty or thirty taels of silver.
A strong horse like Tianfu cannot be bought without fifty taels of silver.
Two horses and a carriage, that's more than a hundred taels.
There is also a reward of one hundred taels.
In just two or three days, I earned more than two hundred taels of silver.
Can directly become a wealthy household in Yun'an County.
Buying a house in the county is no problem.
As for the one thousand taels of silver from the Feng family, Zhao Ping did not dare to ask for it.
After Tian Mansion took him away, Feng Zhengchu could only worry, but he had no choice.
But once he takes it away, I am afraid that Feng Zhengchu will gather all the power he can muster against him.
Now that he is still young, Zhao Ping doesn't want to be scolded by the Feng family.
"Dad, I'm back."
At this moment, Tian Zhen ran in panting and shouted: "Did Dr. Zhao heal my sister?"
"It's okay."
Tian Fuhai said: "Apply the liquid for a few more days and you will be completely healed."
"Very good."
Tian Zhen rushed to Zhao Ping, took his hand and said gratefully: "Medical Officer Zhao, thank you very much."
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"You're welcome. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."
"Even if she is the best courtesan in the county, I can still let her sleep with you."
"With me as the father here, do you need to step forward?"
Tian Fuhai kicked him away and said, "Go and see your sister. The rash on her face has not gone away and she is in a low mood. Please comfort her."
"Medical Officer Zhao said that as long as you apply the medicine for three days in a row, you can make a complete recovery."
After Tian Zhen left, Tian Fuhai said to Zhao Ping: "Medical Officer Zhao, I got the money back. These are the medical fees for you."
"There are also three horses and a carriage..."
Zhao Ping looked at the silver, three hundred taels.
He didn't shirk it. If he wanted to start a business, he couldn't do without money.
Getting it from the Feng family is different from earning it based on strength, so Zhao Ping is happy to accept it.
By the time he left Qian Mansion, he was already considered a rich man in the county.
With money, Zhao Ping was not stingy either.
I walked around the county town twice and cleared out a carriage's worth of goods before rushing back to Xiping Village.
The business of selling medicinal materials was blocked. Except for Yun Man who went hunting in the mountains, everyone else was waiting at home.
Seeing Zhao Ping coming back, Liu Mengru went up to greet him.
But his face didn't look very good. Instead, he pouted and complained, "Mr. sir, we had a falling out with the village chief, and now I can't even work as a part-time worker."
"Medical Officer Lin no longer accepts medicinal materials, and the family's expenses are so high. When will the money owed to Wang Shiren be repaid?"
"Come on, come with me to the house and talk."
Zhao Ping carried a cloth bag and took Liu Mengru to the east room.
Opening the bag, the white silver inside blinded Liu Mengru's eyes.
Liu Mengru covered her mouth and said nothing for a long time.
"Mengru, take this money, hide it, and save it to build a new house in the future."
Zhao Ping's voice brought Liu Mengru back to reality.
She did not collect cash, but grabbed Zhao Ping's arm and said nervously: "Mr. sir, you shouldn't have done anything against the law, right?"
"Otherwise, how could you get so much money back at once?"
"Return it to them quickly, otherwise we will all lose our heads when they report it to the authorities and find out."
"Mengru, do you still remember what I told you yesterday?"
Zhao Ping explained with a smile, "The young lady from Tian Mansion was sick and I cured her. These are the medical fees."
"I was originally supposed to be given two thousand taels of silver, but I couldn't carry it, so I asked for less."
"Can you make money by treating diseases?"
Liu Mengru still didn't believe it, "Why aren't Medical Officer Lin and the medical officer named Cao in our county considered rich?"
“It doesn’t even rank high in the county.”
"Who are you going to give this to for treatment?"
Zhao Ping said patiently: "Most of the patients they treat are residents of our county, and some are farmers."
"They are not a wealthy family to begin with, so what kind of money can be gained from them."
"And Tian Fu is a truly rich man."
"The richer a person is, the more he cherishes his life."
"As long as he is sick, the doctor will do whatever he says. Even if he is treated with an ordinary straw and charged ten taels of silver, he will obediently do it without questioning."
Zhao Ping spent a lot of words before Liu Mengru accepted the fact of making money.
Then he said: "Ms. sir, since we have money now, let's pay back the fifty taels of silver we owe Wang Shiren first."
"I still have some money left, which is enough to pay off the debt."
Zhao Ping said.
But he was quite disdainful in his heart, return the money to Wang Shiren? There are no doors.
Zhao Ping understood very clearly.
Wang Shiren is just the lackey of Feng Junren, the young master of the Feng family.
Feng Junren fell in love with his daughter-in-law, and then he teamed up with Wang Shiren to frame him and made an IOU to sell his wife and daughter to pay off the debt.
If he hadn't traveled through time, I'm afraid this family would have drank rat poison and gone back to the West.
Since someone else's body is inhabited by him, he must straighten his back.
No longer worrying about his livelihood for the time being, Zhao Ping's next plan is to deal with Wang Shiren, so how can he pay him back.
"The debt has been paid, and you have earned more than one hundred taels of silver. Is it time to consider taking Wenhui as your concubine?"
Liu Mengru's abrupt words almost knocked Zhao Pinglei to the ground.
What's wrong with women in these ancient times?
Why do you always think about keeping concubines for your husband?
Isn't it bad to pamper one person alone?
"Not yet."
Zhao Ping refused casually.
"why not?"
Liu Mengru was dissatisfied, "You said at the beginning that after paying off the debt and earning another hundred taels of silver, you would accept Wen Hui. Can't you just keep your word?"
"I……"
Zhao Ping was choked.
Liu Mengru added: "And Wenhui, a young girl, has been living under the same roof with us."
"It doesn't have a name or status, and it won't sound good if it gets spread."
"Besides, you are born in the Year of the Ox, and you are tormenting me to death every day."
"I also want to find someone to share the burden and rest for a few days."
"You figure it out, I'll go do other things first."
Zhao Ping was a modern man after all, and he suddenly wanted to take a concubine. He was a little shy, so he made an excuse and ran away in a hurry.
"My husband is actually shy."
Liu Mengru noticed Zhao Ping's red face and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "It really looks like a different person."
"I hope my husband can stay in this state forever, then I will really become the happiest woman in the world."
Zhao Ping found Qian Liu in the straw shed and handed him fifty taels of silver.
"Brother Ping, why did you give me the money?"
Qian Liu still had injuries on his back and buttocks, so he could only lie down on the haystack.
Looking at the silver handed over by Zhao Ping, he asked stupidly.
"The Tian family's fee for renting your house."
"Then it won't take so much."
"The rest is compensation for you. It's their fault for beating you. This money is to calm your resentment."
"Don't the Tian family think my house is a haunted house? Why are you so talkative?"
"I healed Tian Rou, and I can't blame your house."
"You actually healed her?"
"It was just a fluke."
"Hahaha, okay, okay. Brother Ping is really capable. I will leave this money to Brother Ping. You can use it as the principal and we can make a living together."
"No more gambling?"
"I won't gamble anymore. Because of gambling, I lost all my family property. You even sold your wife and daughter to pay off your gambling debts. Oh, yes, you still owe Wang Shiren fifty taels of gambling debts. Use this money to pay Will he pay off his debt? Let’s not gamble anymore and live a good life.”
These words made Zhao Ping look at Qian Liu with admiration.
People who are addicted to gambling can actually quit gambling.
The mind is strong enough.
Moreover, he even sold his ancestral home in order to help himself pay off his gambling debts.
He is qualified to be his brother.
If you take him with you more in the future, he will be a good helper.
Having made up his mind, Zhao Ping stopped being polite, took the money and went to work.
Selling medicinal materials was stopped, so he had to come up with something else.
