She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 238 Someone is asking

“Now that we have signed an agreement with Liu Dekun, we support Liu Dekun.

If I let him lurk in my Great Wei, then I will give him a chance to breathe.

If he contacts the officials of Southern Shu in private and harms Liu Dekun, it will be of no benefit to our Great Wei if he comes to power again.

What we are doing now is to get close to Liu Dekun, which of course becomes a thorn in Liu Dexian's eyes.

If he were to seize control of Southern Shu and launch an attack on Wei, we would be attacked from both sides," Shangguan Ziqi explained.

"Oh, I see. This means we can't give him any chance to dethrone Crown Prince Liu. This also eliminates the possibility of hostility between Southern Shu and Great Wei."

"That's right. Dawei, it's not easy for Liu Dekun to cross the border to investigate openly, but it's much easier for us to investigate." Shangguan Ziqi nodded in appreciation.

Madam is so smart, she understands everything immediately.

"But, Dawei is so vast, how can we find the person?" Yu Yuanzheng was a little worried.

This is not the future, where there is surveillance and identity registration everywhere.

"It's okay, we just need to do our best and ask local authorities to keep an eye out for strangers. We have more important things to do." Shangguan Ziqi didn't stay just to find the second prince of Southern Shu.

"What else?"

"Of course it's a big deal, Madam. We have so much money now, so of course we have to keep the pharmacy open. This place is very close to Southern Shu, so we can build another base here and slowly infiltrate Southern Shu."

After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng's face broke into a bright smile.

She just likes to make more money.

The next day, Cao Jinyu borrowed a hundred light cavalry from the border garrison and set off back to the capital with the fake iron box.

Shangguan Ziqi began to busy himself with his pharmacy business.

Now I have enough money to buy a workshop, a shop, and people.

Qingfeng and the others all received the mission.

Yu Yuanzheng naturally provides technology.

In order to make Yu Yuanzheng's life easier, Shangguan Ziqi bought two maids for her to serve.

However, Yu Yuanzheng always appears in men's clothing.

Yu Yuanzheng named them Zhilan and Zhiruo respectively.

Both of them were sixteen years old. They used to work as maids in a wealthy family. Because the mistress thought they were too beautiful and was afraid that her master would take them in, she sold them.

Both of them were literate maids, which made Yu Yuanzheng very satisfied.

Maids who can read and write are more useful.

She started writing prescriptions and making pills again.

He made the two maids run around in circles.

After Shangguan Ziqi bought two servants who had a basic understanding of medicinal herbs, she began to teach them how to make pills. They had previously worked as medicine boys in a pharmacy, but when the owner of the pharmacy could no longer run the business, they sold them.

They were all slaves from the master's family who were sent to the pharmacy.

When the shopkeeper has made his choice, he begins to prepare the shop.

This time I’m buying a shop instead of renting one. When you have money, you can do whatever you want.

I bought a medium-sized shop on a bustling street in Luojiang City and spent half a month decorating it.

During this period, Yu Yuanzheng organized people to make a lot of pills.

The twenty guards that Shangguan Ziqi brought with him were not just busy running the pharmacy.

They were also gathering information throughout Luojiang City.

Then they spread out to several surrounding counties to inquire, using the same old method: finding some local landlords or beggars. These people have the sharpest eyes and know the people in their territory best, especially unfamiliar faces.

Before they left Southern Shu, Liu Dekun gave Shangguan Ziqi a portrait of Liu Dexian.

Shangguan Ziqi drew several more pictures.

Have them take it in groups.

After half a month, he actually got some news.

Two months ago, a young man from the capital came here and said that he was not satisfied with the marriage arranged for him by his family, so he ran away to avoid it. But a few days later, he disappeared. However, he always wore a mask, so no one had seen his true face.

The guards were unable to find out more specific information, such as which family in the capital the person was from or who he was.

This kind of news can only be listened to, and it seems to have no immediate effect.

But he also told Yu Yuanzheng.

August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival again. The streets are bustling with activity as the Shiritang in Luojiang City officially opens.

The shopkeeper’s surname is Qian, and his name is Qian Peiyuan.

He is also a middle-aged uncle. With his shrewd eyes, he can come up with good ideas.

Shangguan Ziqi was attracted by his cleverness. Since it was far from the capital, it was difficult for him to take care of the business here, so he needed a capable manager to help him support this business.

This shopkeeper was also the shopkeeper of a wealthy family, but he was unlucky and his entire family was suddenly wiped out.

Until now, no one has found out who did it. These slaves who signed the contract of selling themselves and whose masters had registered with the government had no choice but to be handed over to the government and sold again as ownerless slaves by the government unless they had enough money to redeem themselves.

The shopkeeper Qian has a family of eleven people.

He didn't have enough money to redeem everyone at once, so he had to redeem his two sons and their families, and he had no more money.

He and his wife and his mother were sold.

Shangguan Ziqi bought all three of them together.

He also agreed to let his son and his two families come to work together.

This solved his worries and the whole family could work for him more effectively.

Shangguan Ziqi already had a mature plan for opening a shop. He hired a lion dance team and people to walk around the streets holding signs to promote the shop.

When most people had gathered, the shopkeeper started to encourage them again.

This place is close to the Southern Shu Kingdom, and there are many merchants coming and going.

Many people use Luojiang City as a base for doing business between the two sides.

These people are away from home on business all year round and need pills as their regular medicine.

As soon as they got the news, they all came to see what was going on.

Moreover, Shiritang has branches in many places in Wei, and merchants are well-informed. Many of them know that it was opened by the great doctor Zeng who once appeared in the capital.

With the previous foundation, the opening of Shiritang was very smooth.

That day, several businessmen came to the shopkeeper to discuss cooperation, hoping to buy pills from Shi Ri Tang and sell them in Southern Shu.

Manager Qian didn't dare to make a decision and went back to the back hall to report to Shangguan Ziqi.

"What do you think, little brother?" Shangguan Ziqi looked at Yu Yuanzheng.

The two of them are now a miracle doctor duo, and Shangguan Ziqi calls her his little brother.

"If we don't open a shop in Nanshu Kingdom for the time being, this is a good idea. We can go wholesale. Let the merchants promote our pills there, and then we can open a shop in Nanshu Kingdom when we have the energy."

"Well, I think it's feasible, but the medicinal materials are a problem." Shangguan Ziqi's biggest problem is the supplier of medicinal materials.

"Shopkeeper Qian, you can cooperate with those merchants and ask them to import some medicinal materials from Southern Shu to exchange for pills with us. This will solve some of our medicinal material problems." Shangguan Ziqi came up with a good idea.

"Yes, master, I will discuss it with them right away." Shopkeeper Qian knew what to do as soon as he heard it.

That afternoon, when the shop was about to close, there were no customers in the store.

At this time, a woman walked into the pharmacy with a little maid.

The woman was well-dressed and one could tell at a glance that she was a daughter of a wealthy family or an official. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old and had a good appearance.

"Miss, what medicine do you want to buy?" the waiter greeted warmly.

"I'm looking for the shopkeeper." The woman stated her purpose directly.

"I wonder what the young lady wants to see me about?" Shopkeeper Qian was counting today's income at the counter.

"Boss, this Shi Ri Tang is a branch of the Shi Ri Tang in the capital, right?" The girl knew this.

"Yes, I wonder what the lady meant by asking this?"

Shopkeeper Qian was a little curious. If he hadn't been bought to be the shopkeeper and heard about it from those businessmen, he wouldn't have known it, but this girl knew it.

"Boss, has Dr. Zeng come to Luojiang City?" The woman asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Miss, do you want to find a miracle doctor?" Shopkeeper Qian understood her purpose.
