"Donghuang."
Lin Lan looked at Zhou Donghuang with gentle eyes, "Mother knows that you don't want to see mother being wronged, and I also know that you have great abilities now... Even if you are black, you may be able to force the Lin family to become white."
"But if Yimo suppresses us with force...then what's the difference between us and Lin Tonghong, the fourth elder who stole our prescription and threatened us in turn?"
Lin Lan asked rhetorically.
Although, Lin Lan is not sure how powerful Zhou Donghuang is now.
However, since even Lu Qinghu, a fourth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk who is already the head of a prominent family, is groveling in front of her son, it means that to a certain extent, her son is already superior to a prominent family like the Lu family.
Even the head of the Lin family cannot let Lu Qinghu bow before him now.
Not to mention anything else, just on this point alone, the head of the Lin family is no longer as good as her son Zhou Donghuang.
"Besides, Mom always believed... that the Lin family would give Mom justice."
Lin Lan smiled.
"Mom, just do as you say first."
Zhou Donghuang nodded, "The Lin family is willing to give you justice, so naturally everyone is happy... But if they want to protect the fourth elder Lin Tonghong, don't blame me for not showing mercy to them."
When the words fell, Zhou Donghuang's eyes also flashed a cold light at the right moment.
"Mom believes in the Lin family."
Lin Lan smiled and then returned to his room.
After Lin Lan returned to the room, Granny Lian smiled bitterly and said to Zhou Donghuang: "Master, the young lady's feelings for the Lin family are different... The young lady's parents are both from the Lin family, even if they were later killed while helping the Lin family transport goods. They were killed by horse thieves, but until the moment they closed their eyes before death, they were still proud of being members of the Lin family.”
"Because of this, Miss values her identity as a member of the Lin family more important than her own life."
"If the Lin family is in trouble, even if she has to sacrifice her own life to save it, she will not hesitate at all."
Zhou Donghuang believed deeply in what Granny Lian said.
In the previous life, his mother Lin Lan chose to commit suicide precisely because she was expelled from the Lin family and deprived of her identity as a Lin family member.
"I hope the Lin family will not disappoint my mother... In that case, for my mother's sake, I can turn it into a wealthy family, or even a powerful family."
Zhou Donghuang's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "But if you disappoint my mother, don't blame me, Zhou Donghuang, for being ruthless!"
A wealthy family
A powerful family
Grandma Lian was frightened when she heard Zhou Donghuang's words.
If you want to become a wealthy family, you must have at least one Qi-gathering sixth-level martial arts monk in charge.
And if you want to become a powerful family, there must be at least one Qi-gathering eighth-level martial arts monk in the family!
Her young master actually said in his words that he could turn the Lin family into a rich and powerful family
However, she felt relieved when she thought of the shock her young master had given her over the past month or so. "The young master is only seventeen years old, but he can make Lu Qinghu, the head of the famous Lu family, grovel in front of him..."
"As long as he is in the Lin family, the Lin family will sooner or later become a wealthy family, or even a powerful family!"
Granny Lian didn’t know:
What Zhou Donghuang said about making the Lin family a wealthy family, a powerful family, was not to use his own strength to help the Lin family rise, but to casually favor the children of the Lin family and let the children of the Lin family lead the rise of the Lin family.
Even if he wants to:
It would not be difficult for the current Lin family, a prominent family, to replace the royal family of Yunyang Kingdom and become the new masters of Yunyang Kingdom in the future.
…
If we were to say that in the past half month, what attracted the most attention in the entire Yunfeng County, it was nothing more than the cheap Qi Gathering Powder launched by the Lu family, a newly established and prominent family.
As we all know, one bottle of Qi Gathering Powder, which was widely circulated in the market, can be sold for twelve taels of silver.
And of these twelve taels of silver, twelve taels of silver are the cost of medicinal materials, and only two taels of silver are the profit. Excluding the complex production cost and labor cost, the profit is basically not much.
Therefore, the Juqi Powders circulating on the market in Yunfeng County are basically made by poor families. The famous families simply don't bother to do the Juqi Powder business because the profits are too small.
However, just half a month ago, the Lu family, a new and prominent family, launched a bottle of Juqi Powder worth twelve taels of silver, and its efficacy was exactly the same as that of the twelve taels of silver a bottle of Juqi Powder on the market.
Immediately, the emergence of this Qi-Ju Powder impacted the entire Yunfeng County Qi-Ju Powder market.
A bottle of Juqi Powder sold by others costs ten taels of silver for the medicinal materials alone. If you just sell a bottle of Juqi Powder for ten taels of silver, who can compete with you
Therefore, once the Lu family's Qi Ju Powder appears, no matter where it appears, it can directly monopolize the market of that place's Ju Qi Powder.
"Then the Lu family, a newly-minted prominent family, are they doing charity? Or are they clearing out their own inventory of Qi-Powders because they no longer want to do the Qi-Gathering Powder business?"
At first, many people thought so.
But soon, they no longer thought so.
Because they discovered that the Lu family's Qi Gathering Powder was not only sold by themselves, but also sold to other family agents at wholesale prices.
The wholesale price is seven taels of silver a bottle.
In other words, no matter which family you belong to, as long as you get the agency right for Juqi Powder like the Lu family, even if you sell a bottle of Juqi Powder for ten taels of silver, you can still make a net profit of three taels of silver, and it saves you the complexity. The production cost is only labor cost.
Of course, the family that represents the Lu family's Juqi Powder is not allowed to sell Juqi Powder in Yunfeng County. The Lu family must control the Juqi Powder market in the county town.
But even so, this kind of deal can still make people of prominent families be tempted by it.
"The Lu family must have found a way to save costs... Otherwise, it would be impossible to do this!"
At this time, many people finally reacted.
For a time, many prominent figures from poor families outside the county town entered the county town one after another, almost breaking through the threshold of the Lu family's mansion.
They all want to get the agency rights for the Lu family's Juqi Powder.
However, there are very few people who can get the agency rights. Until now, only the Fang family and the Ma family, who are good friends with the Lu family, have obtained the agency rights.
February 9, 1228 in the Ziyun calendar.
The Lu family's mansion.
"Patriarch, Lin Zhuo, the head of the Lin family, just sent an invitation. The invitation stated that he would like to hold a banquet at noon tomorrow in the private room of Tianzi No. 1, Yunshanglou, for you and the second master."
A member of the Lu family came to the courtyard where Lu Qinghu lived and said respectfully to Lu Qinghu, who was playing chess with Lu Bao.
"Brother, finally the Hope family can no longer sit still."
Lu Bao laughed.
"The Lin family has chambers of commerce in hundreds of small towns in Yunfeng County. If we can get the agency rights for our Lu family's Juqi Powder, we will be able to monopolize the Juqi Powder market in hundreds of small towns."
Lu Qinghu put down the chess piece in his hand slowly and said with a faint smile.
"So...brother, are you going?"
Lu Bao asked, "The visitor from the Lin family is probably still waiting for news outside."
"It's okay with other famous families. The Lin family naturally has to give face... After all, this is the family of the adoptive mother of Young Master Donghuang."
As Lu Qinghu spoke, he looked at the children of the Lu family who came to report the news, "Let the Lin family tell their head that there is no need to hold a banquet... Tomorrow afternoon, I will personally go to the Lin family mansion to visit the head of the Lin family."
"yes."
The children of the Lu family stopped in response.
"Speaking of which, Young Master Donghuang has also been to the Lin family's residence for a few days... I just happened to go to the Lin family and tell him about the recent hot sales of Qi Ju Powder."
Thinking of that young man, Lu Qinghu's face straightened up, and his eyes showed bursts of sincere awe.
Now, he was really convinced by that young man.
Not only is he powerful, but his methods are amazing. He and his son's arms and legs that were reattached after being separated from the body can be healed to the point of recovery.
Even the top-grade pharmacist enshrined by the royal family of Yunyang Kingdom could not have such means.
