Li Yuanying made a fool of himself in the hall, and then he was quiet for more than a month. The main reason was that Sun Simiao couldn't stay in the imperial hospital and always wanted to go out and travel around.
Li Yuanying was afraid that His Majesty Li Er and Sizi would not be stable, so he refused to let Sun Simiao go, so he bought a house near the lake next to the library, and used it as a medicine store in the back and a medical center in the front, and opened it for Sun Simiao every day. After getting a good diagnosis, I compiled the "Thousand Gold Prescriptions" and the "medical textbooks" that Li Yuanying wanted.
Li Yuanying studied here and there with a hammer and a stick, but he also systematically helped him to summarize and provide him with practical exercises. Random learning was actually quite effective. But Sun Simiao said that all the apprentices he took in before him started from elementary school and worked hard for ten or eight years before they could treat some minor diseases. If they want to cure some difficult diseases, they can only accumulate more experience and knowledge case. In short, it is impossible for you to become a teacher without studying for more than ten years, and no one will come to you to see a doctor after you have graduated from a teacher.
Sun Simiao can't take care of other family's affairs, of course he has to take care of his apprentice Sun Simiao, this is a matter of human life and heaven. If Li Yuanying wanted to use the medical books he edited, he might not be able to master them after a few years of learning according to his rules!
Li Yuanying has no objection to this, anyway, he doesn't need to learn, there are always good seedlings who study medicine carefully.
With Li Yuanying's guarantee, Sun Simiao lived in the medical hall next to the library with peace of mind. The medical hall is open for half a day every day to receive patients, and the remaining half day is used to discuss medical skills and exchange experiences with doctors from all over the world. , when the library was closed at night, Sun Simiao calmed down to compile medical books.
Li Yuanying was still afraid that he would leave, so he took advantage of the convenience of the library to post a notice, telling the scholars who came to visit that if they met a doctor elsewhere, they must let him come to exchange ideas. Don't miss it when you pass by, bring your medicine box and your medical records, and come to our doctor Sun to discuss medicine and medicine! If you are not sure about the medicinal materials, old doctor Sun will help you identify them;
Li Yuanying has been busy with this matter for more than a month.
Although it has only been opened for less than three months, the reputation of the library has already been extremely loud. Most of the scholars who come from all over the world have to go to the place, almost like a pilgrimage. There are more scholars, and the news is gradually spreading!
I heard that Sun Simiao was going to compile a medical book, and he spent half a day every day discussing medical skills with others, and wandering doctors from all over the country naturally flocked here, even those who couldn't leave with their own medical clinics, they also sent some apprentices to join in the fun. I hope they can learn a thing or two to go back.
This newly opened medical library quickly became lively, and there were more people coming and going than the library next door.
At the beginning of May, someone came to the library to deliver a letter, saying that a ship from the south had arrived, bringing this spring's new tea. I heard that the young prince wanted it, and the best Mingqian tea has been distributed over there to be dedicated to the young prince. I don't know when the young prince will be free to meet them.
Li Yuanying was a little dazed when he heard the news at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that he told Su Qiniang of Wancui Building to do it. He also went to Beili once, and when he came back, he was taught by His Majesty Li Er for a long time, copied the old "Book of Songs", and then forgot about it when he turned around.
Unexpectedly, Su Qiniang did not forget, and Su Erniang's brother-in-law was also very active. It makes sense when you think about it, there are not many people who love to drink tea in the north, and the city of Chang’an has gathered a group of people who are the richest and most willing to spend money in the entire Tang Dynasty. Su Erniang, a righteous brother, is in the tea business If you can't open this big market, don't you just scratch your head and scratch your head
Although Bancuilou is a place where tea can be sold, how many people who go to Bancuilou are there to drink tea? Even if you drink it, you won't feel that this tea is elegant, otherwise, why don't the dignitaries drink it, only you, the place of fireworks, drink it? It's rare that there is someone who is not just looking for fun, but is interested in tea alone, then Su Erniang's brother-in-law can't wait to get close to him.
Thinking about it, they also found out clearly that the little prince Li Yuanying was not an ordinary prince, but the younger brother that His Majesty Li Er loved the most, and even let him take the few descendants of the first generation to play everywhere! In the past two months, the very famous library was built with his money. Even if Li Yuanying is young, getting through his link can push tea among the nobles!
Li Yuanying didn't think about it that much. It was rare for someone to think about what he said casually, so he asked someone to bring the message over and asked him to talk outside. The last time Li Yuanying went to Beili because he didn't know where it was. His Majesty Li Er knew that he entered by mistake, so he didn't punish him severely. However, His Majesty Li Er also let out his words. If he dared to go there again, his legs would be broken!
It was still early before the appointed time, Li Yuanying studied in the medical center for a long time before leaving. Su Erniang's brother-in-law arrived early, and Su Qiniang, who was wearing a curtain, was sitting beside her. As soon as Li Yuanying arrived, the two stood up to greet her. Su Qiniang also took off her curtain, revealing her beautiful face that grew longer and more beautiful.
At that time, the Supreme Emperor was always intoxicated with wine and sex, and Li Yuanying grew up surrounded by beauties since he was a child. He didn't look at Su Qiniang's side much, instead he looked curiously at Su Erniang's brother-in-law. This man was in his early forties, and he looked quite gentle. He was a typical southerner with small eyes. , looks very smart.
This man has a story to tell.
Li Yuanying liked listening to stories the most, and he was not in a hurry to chat about the tea leaves when he sat down, but asked how he and Erniang Su met. After all, one is a merchant who grows tea, and the other is a bustard in Beili. If it is said that they meet each other and play games every time, it is possible, but it is quite rare to become brother and sister.
Su Erniang's adopted brother introduced himself. He was also surnamed Su, and he was the eldest. Back then, he came to Beijing with a caravan with goods from the south. Unexpectedly, the ship capsized halfway and everyone on the same ship died. He survived by luck, but all the goods and money were gone, not even money to go home. Thinking of his wife and children expecting him to make money and go back, Su Dalang felt miserable.
At this time, he met Su Erniang who went out of the city to worship his deceased mother.
After hearing what happened to him, Su Erniang also knew that his surname was Su, so she gave him travel money and capital, saying that the family might have lived there five hundred years ago, and asked him to sell some popular goods in Beijing and sell them back home. If you can make a fortune, it is not a waste of time to make this trip. Su Dalang was very grateful, and after repeated refusals, he accepted the money and bought the goods and shipped them back to the south.
It is said that it is better to catch up well than to catch up well. That year, the goods he picked were all in short supply in the south, and he really made a lot of money! He went home and mentioned this matter to his wife. The wife was sensible and didn't rush to get jealous. Instead, she said that it is easy to add flowers to the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow, and she must repay the kindness of others.
After coming and going, Su Dalang and Su Erniang became sworn brothers and sisters. Su Erniang is also from the south. After Su Dalang bought mountain tea in his hometown, he would send spring tea to Beijing early every year to Su Erniang.
It was Su Erniang's first idea to sell this tea. The two brothers and sisters have been trying to find a way in the past few years, but unfortunately there has been little success.
After listening to Su Dalang's narration, Li Yuanying felt that it was not as ups and downs as imagined, but he was quite satisfied. He thought for a while, and said to Su Dalang: "This tea is good, but others don't know its benefits, and they don't want to drink it when they see it is green. If you want to take it out, you have to think about it. What are its real benefits? Others Why don't you drink with Baishui and come to drink your tea?"
Su Dalang saw that Li Yuanying was really young, so he had no hope in his heart, but hearing what he said made him feel refreshed. He told Li Yuanying about the benefits of tea: "Not to mention refreshing after drinking this tea, but if you eat too much wine and meat, it can also sober you up and relieve your tiredness. If you eat a bowl every day, you will feel much lighter."
Li Yuanying said: "How much tea did you bring to Beijing this time?"
Su Dalang said: "Not much, only about five hundred catties."
"Enough." Li Yuanying discussed with Su Dalang, "I have a lot of money to spend in the future, and I have two ways of cooperation. Listen to it and see which one you think is better."
When Su Dalang heard this, he sat up straight and made a posture of listening attentively.
Li Yuanying said: "First, you sell me all the tea at the market price, and I will never let you suffer in terms of price; second, you can handle my idea of selling tea and the way to sell tea, and then we will share half of it with each other. The money earned is split in half."
After listening to Su Dalang, he suddenly understood: the first method is a one-shot deal, and he has nothing to do with selling tea to Li Yuanying; the second method is a real cooperation, he can borrow Li Yuanying's name and connections, but Half of the profits should be given to Li Yuanying.
Su Dalang only thought for a moment, then said: "I'll choose the second one." It's not that he only has 500 catties of tea, if he doesn't open up a market, his tea will not be able to sell at a good price in the future or not.
Li Yuanying heard that Su Dalang responded readily, and had a good impression of him, so he pulled him to explain it so and so.
In the next few days, Su Dalang ordered people to divide the tea leaves into several grades, leaving the best batch for Li Yuanying to drink for himself, and only spared a few catties to sell as the "tea king". The next-best ones are also divided up by catty by catty, and they are wrapped in small paper packages with exquisite boxes on the outside.
The packaging boxes are also very particular, and they are divided according to the tea leaves, such as silver, wood, pottery, and paper.
Such a subdivision, there are more than 400 boxes that can be sold out!
Although it took a lot of work just to fiddle with the packaging, Su Dalang felt a sense of accomplishment when he looked at the rows of neatly stacked tea after he finished his work. He felt that this was completely different from the two boxes of tea he had brought in!
With eye-catching packaging, there must be sales.
Li Yuanying thought about it, there was a lively event in the court recently: Dang Renhong returned to Beijing to offer prisoners. Dang Renhong is His Majesty Li Er's confidant, general and young friend. This time he was sent to the south to deal with Luo Dou's rebellion, and he happily captured Luo Dou's rebellion and captured more than 7,000 people. Seven thousand people is not a small number, and they are all young men. Whether they are arranged to reclaim wasteland or build roads and bridges, they can solve the shortage of people in various places.
His Majesty Li Er is happy, and he will definitely have another feast for the ministers. Naturally, Li Yuanying could go to the past one by one and find a few important officials in the court to serve as live advertisements, but he disliked that the effect would come too slowly, so he might as well do a big promotion at once, taking advantage of this big banquet to directly promote the tea leaves!
After enjoying the elegant and beautiful new packaging of the tea leaves, Li Yuanying happily took a box of tea leaves for a walk to Sun Simiao's "Thousand Gold Hall" and invited Sun Simiao to taste tea together.
Since Su Dalang said that this tea has so many benefits, Li Yuanying naturally had to make good use of it. When it comes to judging whether something imported is good for the body, who can be more authoritative than Sun Simiao? The old miracle doctor said yes, then it must be good!
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: Dear, do you want to buy tea? Super expensive, oh no, the kind that is super good for the body!
