The old village chief was thoughtful after hearing this. He looked at Shi Chu with a muddy yet shrewd gaze and said, "Xiao Chu is indeed very skilled. He can hunt wild boars and bears by himself. If you put your skills to use on the battlefield, Maybe you can earn military honors and become an officer or even a general."
When Shichu heard what he said, his unhappy mood suddenly disappeared and he said: "Old village chief, you really think highly of me. I actually think I can be a general. It's a pity that I cherish my life and managed to escape with my life." , I have found a quiet place to live, and I don’t want to live in fear anymore.”
"That's right, everyone has his own ambitions." The old village chief said with emotion, "Being a general also means you have a destiny. It's better to be your hunter honestly. In the future, you can marry a wife and have a few children..."
At the beginning, I suddenly choked. It was impossible to marry a wife, unless I married a male wife.
But now that the war has started and she is bored, she can do business and donate some money and food to the army in the future.
So Shichu also started to get busy. She hunted game in the mountains and took it to the town to buy. She quickly saved a sum of money, and then bought a small shop in the town and started selling precious medicinal materials. Some of the medicinal materials were They came from the mountains, she found them while hunting, and some of them came from her dimension. Her dimension has all kinds of medicinal materials, so there will be no shortage of supplies.
No matter when, precious medicinal materials are valuable treasures that have a price but no market. Not so many people in the town can afford these precious medicinal materials, but there are always smart and far-sighted businessmen who see the huge profits here. So I approached Shi Chu and explained the pros and cons to her, hoping to purchase goods from her and sell them elsewhere. Duxing was one of them.
At first I didn’t want to go out and make money, so I looked at several people and finally chose Du Xing. Du Xing was ambitious, smart and cunning, but he was decent and principled, and he would not be immoral for the sake of money. Bottom line.
"The Evil God"
So I made a contract with Duxing at the beginning, and handed over the medicinal materials to Duxing on a quarterly basis, and asked him to transport them to other places for sale, and the profits would be divided into 40 and 60 cents.
Even in today's troubled times, there are still many people who are rich but cherish their lives. Du Xing has no worries about selling the medicinal materials he shipped out, and Shichu soon became a rich woman.
Then she was not satisfied with selling precious medicinal materials. After she had money, she began to collect various common medicinal materials and prepared to build a pharmaceutical factory. She had many prescriptions. In this era of frequent wars, medicines are very precious strategic resources. , she can just take out the prescription and make medicine to save people.
Although there are many ordinary medicinal materials in her space, ordinary medicinal materials are different from precious medicinal materials. Precious medicinal materials are rare. She can still say that she found them from the mountains. The amount of ordinary medicinal materials is too large. It would be abnormal for her to find so many by herself. , so she had to cover up.
So in addition to purchasing medicinal materials, she also took out medicinal seeds and distributed them to the villagers in Huangshi Village to grow, telling them that when the medicinal materials were grown, she would come and purchase them.
The usefulness of Shichu's good relationship with the villagers came out in the first two years. The villagers believed that Shichu would not lie to them, so they did not hesitate. Except for the land for growing grain and vegetables, they planted all the other open land. Medicinal seeds given at the beginning of time.
From time to time, Shichu would also teach them about the habits of medicinal materials and how to plant and maintain them... So even though it was the first time for everyone to grow, they grew well.
So except for the first batch of medicinal materials purchased from outside at the beginning of the year, all subsequent medicinal materials were grown in Huangshi Village and other nearby villages.
The medicinal materials grown in Huangshi Village in the first year were sold at a good price. Everyone was very happy and praised Shi Chu. When visiting relatives, they couldn't help but tell relatives and friends about it. So people in several nearby villages also became interested in growing medicinal materials. After thinking about it, I approached Shichu and wanted to get the seeds from her.
Naturally, Shichu would not refuse. He went to various villages to study the climate and soil, and then gave the villagers the herbs suitable for planting there.
In the second year, Shichu harvested a lot of medicinal materials. She hired people to help process the medicinal materials, and the number of workers in the pharmaceutical factory also needed to increase... So she single-handedly improved the living standards of Huangshi Village and several other nearby villages. She has improved a lot, and now when everyone sees her, it’s like seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Of course, there is no need to worry about selling the medicines she made. Now Duxing is no longer just selling her precious medicinal materials, these medicines are the bulk of his business.
However, the pharmaceutical business developed too fast at the beginning, which easily attracted people's attention. What's more, this is not a world with strict laws, but a world where corruption is common.
Her pharmaceutical factory is making a lot of money every day, who wouldn't be jealous of her?
Although Huangshi Village is usually relatively peaceful and nothing major happens, isn't that because it is poor and remote enough? In the past, even if you wanted to scrape off the oil and water, you couldn't scrape it out, but it is different now. Wasn't the pharmaceutical factory at the beginning just a big fat sheep?
After learning that the owner of the pharmaceutical factory was a young man under twenty, the county magistrate of Lincheng began to have the idea of a pharmaceutical factory.
Although Lincheng County Magistrate Chen Daofa was also sent from above, his ancestors were all in Lincheng, and he bought the position of county magistrate with money. He just wanted to be a local gangster in his hometown. People say that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. He is a smart man. Yes, knowing that there are wars everywhere these days, if he goes to work as an official elsewhere, he might be beaten at some point; but if he stays in his hometown, he will be very safe.
Chen Daofa became the county magistrate, and his relatives and friends naturally followed one person to ascend to heaven. The four words collusion between officials and businessmen made the relationship of interest between them clear.
The largest pharmacy in Lincheng used to be opened by Chen Daofa's brother-in-law, but since the opening of Shichu's pharmacy and pharmaceutical factory, the business of his brother-in-law's pharmacy has dropped a lot, and in the end it was almost empty. After all, Shichu's drugstore sells drugs They are beautiful and cheap, but the ones sold by Chen Daofa's brother-in-law's pharmacy are expensive, not good, and even have fake medicines. In the past, people had no choice but to buy from him, but now don't they have a choice? Everyone will vote with their feet.
The brother-in-law cried to his brother-in-law several times, saying that someone was robbing his pharmacy business and exaggerating the profits of the pharmacy and pharmaceutical factory several times, which successfully aroused Chen Daofa's greed, so Chen Daofa So I discussed with my brother-in-law how to take over the pharmaceutical factory and drug store as our own.
At the beginning, he had such great ability and built a cornucopia of drug stores and pharmaceutical factories, but he did not have the matching power to protect him. In the eyes of Chen Daofa and his brother-in-law, he was not like a dog wandering in front of their house with the words " Come and kill my big fat sheep?
