    That afternoon, Zhang Weidong planned to close the door and go back to the yard, but someone came to the door again.

    Thinking he was a patient, Zhao Gongjian hurried out to greet him, but he came back soon with an ugly face.

    ¡°Sir, the Tiger Martial Arts School is here to collect protection fees, it¡¯s right outside!¡±

    At this moment, there were two strong men waiting outside the Yonghe Hall. However, they did not carry knives, but they were dressed in black clothes with a tiger head tattooed on their vests.  The two came to collect protection money, but they were not in a hurry at all and were still joking and talking.

    Zhang Weidong did not get up: "Have you confirmed your identity? How much will you charge?"

    Zhao Gongjian was stunned for a moment and said: "It seems right, it's someone from the Tiger Martial Arts School, charging 2 silver coins, saying it's protection fee for June!"

    "Give it to them and leave the voucher!" Zhang Weidong said, and he simply took out 2 silver coins and put them on the table.

    "Really give them protection money?" Zhao Gongjian said in surprise.

    You must know that Zhang Weidong always deals with enemies with thunderbolt methods, and his hands are stained with the blood of dozens of people.  How could Zhang Weidong be made to surrender in a mere Tiger Martial Arts School?  Zhao Gongjian planned to go to the backyard to call for help, beat up the people outside and then drive them away.

    "Two silver coins are not too much. Since it is the rule of the whole street, if Yonghetang is open for business, just pay it." Zhang Weidong said calmly.

    ¡°But I¡¯ve inquired about it, and the protection fee for most shops is only 1 silver coin per month.¡±

    "It's okay, just 2 silver coins for 2 silver coins."

    Zhao Gongjian took the money in confusion, and after a while he dismissed the people from the Tiger Martial Arts School. The other party didn't seem to make things difficult for him. He took the money, left the voucher and left.  However, the voucher is not a protection fee, but a service fee for the merchant to hire the "Tiger Martial Arts School".

    The protection fee has been paid, and everyone has no objection to Zhang Weidong's decision, but they just feel unhappy.  They felt that if they became martial artists, the Tiger Martial Arts School would not dare come to collect protection fees.  Therefore, I practiced morning, afternoon, and evening exercises one by one, and became more attentive.

    The next day.  Ren County became lively again.

    This is a half-monthly customs clearance day for merchants from both countries, and there are many merchants passing through this small thoroughfare in Ren County.

    Early in the morning, a long dragon appeared outside the two main gates in the south and north of the city.  It stretches for more than ten miles.  There were carriages loaded with goods, waiting for customs clearance.  There were even several times more sergeants in Hu Qiying, maintaining order and assisting the county government officials in inspecting goods and collecting taxes.

    Many people in Ren County took to the streets.  No matter the rich or ordinary people, they went out en masse.  Some people are watching the excitement, while more people want to buy some supplies that are in short supply. There are also many shops that are clean and open to welcome customers. There are also more people who are idle and sneaking around.  Therefore, Zheng County Lieutenant and a group of police officers all dispatched and blended into the crowd.  maintain security.

    Zhang Weidong has been waiting for this day for a long time.

    Early in the morning, after breakfast, Zhao Gongjian and Zhao Falcon and his son took two temporary wooden signs, rushed to the north and south gates of the city, found a place, and held them high.  The wooden sign says the same thing: East Street Yonghetang, collects medicinal materials at high prices.

    Generally speaking, merchants who pass customs will bring some local special and precious medicinal materials and sell them to another place, all for profit.  The medicinal materials are small.  Easy to carry.  If the price is right, they will also trade some in Ren County.  Most of the medicinal materials in the Seven Medicine Halls are purchased from merchants.

    "It's a pity that although the Seven Medicine Halls require a lot of medicinal materials, they are mainly ordinary medicinal materials.  Really precious medicinal materials are rarely used and the trading volume is very small.

    The placards held by Zhao Gongjian and Zhao Falcon indeed aroused the interest of many merchants, who then came forward to inquire.  They were merchants, and if they could sell some goods along the way, the journey would be much easier.  But soon.  Many small businessmen sadly quit.

    The precious medicinal materials needed by Zhang Weidong are mainly used to make medicine, such as century-old yellow ginseng, elm fungus ganoderma, violet grass, etc.  Even auxiliary medicines are precious medicinal materials that many medicine halls treasure and collect. As for ordinary medicinal materials, although there is demand for them, 'Yonghetang' can easily buy a lot of them, which will be enough for a long time.

    Zhao Gongjian, Zhao Falcon and his son were thirsty, dealing with waves of people.  But they found that there were very few people who could actually trade.

    Fortunately, many merchants have backed down after asking, but more merchants are still interested.  With so many merchants, I'm afraid there are always some people interested in selling.  Unintentionally, the father and son's placard raising had another good effect. Many people suddenly realized that it is no wonder that the medicines in Yonghetang are very expensive and the medicinal materials they buy are very precious.  This is a wonderful misunderstanding!

    Zhang Weidong walked to the street with Xu Qing and Zhao Lanlan, preparing to go to the south gate first. It seemed that there were several times more people than usual. The closer they got to the city gate, the more turbulent the crowd became.  peopleAll they were talking about were merchants and goods. Some people were still comparing and comparing, and everyone was as happy as if they were celebrating a festival. Even there were many more hawkers than usual.  In addition, there were many vacant carriages on both sides of the street, and some wealthy people and their families were staying to greet acquaintances.

    Xu Qing and Zhao Lanlan were in high spirits and were dazzled by what they saw. Sometimes they would buy something they liked.

    With a smile on his face, Zhang Weidong became their foil, following behind just paying and carrying things.  After arriving in Ren County, he did not leave home and had no interest in getting to know the upper-class people in Ren County. Therefore, the people he met in unusual attire were basically familiar to him, which saved him a lot of trouble.

    No matter what, someone still recognized him and shouted hello.

    "Doctor Zhang?!"

    The three of them heard it and stopped.  When Zhang Weidong saw that the person greeting him, it was Mr. Li who had not had sex, and his face was red at this moment.  There is also a young lady beside him, who is dressed in jewels, has rouge lips, and charming eyes. She is more than twenty years younger than Mr. Li.  The two of them were followed by some maids and guards.

    "It turns out to be member Li. I haven't seen you for a few days. He looks good!" Zhang Weidong said in greeting.

    When member Li heard this, he couldn't help but couldn't help himself: "TOEFL, TOEFL, I feel very good these days!"

    This is a secret.

    Zhang Weidong laughed when he heard this.

    I originally planned to say a few words and then leave, but Yuan Li was so enthusiastic that he pulled the charming concubine over and introduced: "This is Doctor Zhang, the owner of Yonghetang. He is very skilled in medicine. She is  My fifth wife, Yan'er, come and see Dr. Zhang!"

    The fifth lady.  In fact, she is a concubine, and everyone understands it tacitly.

    ¡°I¡¯ve met Dr. Zhang!¡±

    "You're welcome, madam!" Zhang Weidong nodded and introduced Xu Qing and Zhao Lanlan.  Everyone started chatting.

    There is a reason why Yuanwai Li is so enthusiastic about Zhang Weidong.

    He has been taking the medicine for a few days, and now he clearly feels a reaction down there.  This is when the medication takes effect.  This surprised Li Yuanwai and greatly increased his confidence in ¡®Yonghetang¡¯.  He originally planned to come to the door to bring gifts to thank him, but he thought he might as well go there after half a month.  Unexpectedly, I met Zhang Weidong today.

    Li Yuanwai planned to invite Zhang Weidong and several people to a banquet at Fengxiao Tower at noon, but they were rejected.  Zhang Weidong wanted to buy some medicinal materials.  I really don¡¯t have time to socialize.  As soon as Mr. Li heard this, he took the initiative to help.  Zhang Weidong also learned that in addition to having several good shops in Ren County, Li Yuan was also doing big business with merchants, including tea, fur, salt and other businesses. He was a middleman.

    There are still some wealthy businessmen like Li Yuanwai in Ren County.

    "I see. It's no wonder that Doctor Zhang's medicine has miraculous effects, but the cost of medicine is much higher. However, Doctor Zhang, you can't find a way to do this. Generally speaking, precious medicinal materials are okay. Traders can get some, as long as the price is right.  Sell ??it, but if you want to buy a century-old yellow ginseng-level elixir, you have to find a big dealer." Li Yuanwai pointed out.

    Zhang Weidong quickly asked: "What do you mean?"

    Member Li smiled and said: "Rare resources like elixirs are in short supply no matter which country they are in. Small merchants have few channels and are generally difficult to obtain. Only large merchants have enough channels. Miraculous drugs usually come from big merchants.  "

    "Furthermore, Doctor Zhang, you don't know something. Ren County is just a small thoroughfare for customs clearance. The tariff is slightly low and there are mostly small traders. There are very few big traders. It's impossible if no one recommends it. Furthermore, no matter where this elixir is placed, it will  There is no shortage of people to buy it. Even if a big dealer has the goods, someone may have pre-ordered it, let alone selling it. After all, the risk is not small."

    In a word, ¡®spiritual medicine¡¯ is rare. If you are not a related household, Zhang Weidong would not be able to buy it, because there is no shortage of buyers.

    When Zhang Weidong heard this, he also felt that it made sense. It seemed that things were not going well.

    "I wonder if Mr. Li knows a big businessman?" Zhang Weidong was moved in his heart and asked by the way.

    Li Yuanwai pondered for a moment and admitted generously: "Well, I do know a big businessman, and I often do business with him. I can introduce him to Dr. Zhang to see if he can do it. It's not possible. Big businessmen are familiar with each other.  There are always more ways than outsiders.¡±

    "Thank you, thank you very much, I owe Yuan Li a favor!" Zhang Weidong thanked him quickly.

    "Doctor Zhang, you're welcome!" When Li Yuanwai heard this, he became even more enthusiastic.  After all, he also wanted to get to know a doctor with superb medical skills, so he was very helpful.

    "Doctor Zhang, please wait a moment. The servant has gone to the front. The big merchant is here and will come over."

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s just nagging.¡±

    Zhang Weidong and Mr. Li were having a friendly conversation, but the women couldn't stay any longer. They soon got together and went toWent shopping.

    "Brother Li!"

    "Brother Chen"

    "Boss Wang"

    "This is the owner of Yonghetang, Doctor Zhang!"

    ¡°Doctor Zhang¡¯s medical skills are very good¡±

    "Doctor Zhang!"

    "Yonghetang? Disrespectful!"

    ""

    After a while, many people came over to say hello and were acquainted with Li Yuanwai, but Li Yuanwai also introduced Zhang Weidong by the way and highly praised his medical skills.

    Although Zhang Weidong was not interested in getting to know these connections, he could not refuse Li Yuanwai's kindness and reluctantly cheered up to deal with it.  Everyone didn't pay much attention to Dr. Zhang Weidong. After being polite, they only focused on chatting with Mr. Li and completely forgot that Zhang Weidong was next to them. This suited Zhang Weidong's wishes and left him alone.

    Suddenly, there was a commotion among the people on the left and right, and someone exclaimed, seemingly very enthusiastic.

    "The leader of the Tiger Martial Arts School, Jiang, is here!"

    "Here comes Master Li of the Kuangfeng Martial Arts School!" (~^~)
