Chapter 0007: Setting the Trap

He then stepped into the Liu's pharmacy and said to a clerk who was busy organizing the medicine cabinet at the counter, "Young man, I am Ye Canghai from the yamen, and I have matters to discuss with your shopkeeper"

"Only five hundred taels, that piece of land is worth at least two thousand taels." Upon hearing this, Sun Daobiao was unwilling to accept it.

Ye Canghai wandered aimlessly down the street, realizing that the methods from his past life were ineffective here. Even if he understood the principles of the atomic bomb, he lacked the means to create one. His gaze inadvertently fell upon the Liu's pharmacy.

However, this amount of silver is quite substantial

Additionally, the private medication of the esteemed tutor can be offered at a discount of 20%

This, I... I here..." Ning Chong had a look of embarrassment on his face, and Ye Canghai knew that he was financially constrained, but did not point it out.

A small official of the eighth rank, no bigger than a sesame seed, what discounts can he offer? Just ask him for two thousand taels, and if he doesn't give it, then to hell with that broken grave. Wei Song's face turned stern as he lightly tapped the tea table with his fingers

Liu Kai misunderstood and thought that Ye Canghai wanted to buy medicine

"Eight hundred taels is merely a deposit; that piece of precious land is hard to find in the world. It is said to be able to protect future generations and help them rise to power and wealth, definitely worth one thousand taels." Sun Daobiao immediately increased his offer

Where can I get several hundred taels?

This fellow immediately felt in high spirits, adjusted his robe, struck a pose, and even had a somewhat lofty demeanor

In order to make a fortune in this regard, Ye Canghai even sought advice from many reclusive "masters" at Wudang and Shaolin.

Before long, a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat, dressed in light blue silk, with a seasoned gaze and an extraordinary demeanor, stepped out

"You know, Manager Liu, practicing martial arts requires a large quantity of medicinal herbs," Ye Canghai said after taking a sip of tea.

"Equity participation means collaborating in business," Ning Chong replied

Sun Daobiao's face immediately turned a shade of green, realizing that the other party had come prepared, and it was clear that the land deed had been tampered with long ago

I will contribute twenty taels." Ning Chong urged Ma Chao, gritting his teeth as he spoke

The annual salary of the county's educational supervisor is only a few dozen taels of silver, and even with additional gray income, it will not exceed one hundred and fifty taels.

Who would have thought that that fellow would shamelessly cling to Miss Ning, naturally, there were those who found him displeasing

Lord Ye is not simple; he must have his own plans. Otherwise, how could he dare to establish a military order in the yamen

The person responsible for procurement in the village is named Wu Hui, while the one guarding the pure Yang honey in the village is the seventh chief, Ding Mao

Especially for experts like Master Ye, the monthly consumption of medication is likely substantial

Four or five hundred taels is simply an astronomical figure for someone like him, whose monthly income is only a few taels of silver.

Inside, there was an elegant pavilion. After sipping tea for a while, Liu Kai could no longer contain his curiosity and asked, "Is there something you wish to discuss, my lord?"

"If you can't take it out, then go dig a grave. Our Fan family will compensate you with five hundred taels." Wei Song said with a domineering expression

From now on, as long as Lord Ye gives a call, we at Liu's will promptly assist you in gathering and delivering all the medicinal herbs.

Hehe, the amount of medicine used by the constables in a year is indeed considerable. However, it seems that your golden ointment is not as effective as that of Sun's Pharmacy?" Ye Canghai said deliberately, referring to Sun Ji, which is an enterprise under the command of Sun Daobiao.

Indeed, if we were to disturb that dilapidated grave, we would suffer a significant loss. Sun Daobiao looked quite troubled.

"Equity investment? What do you mean, Lord Ning Chong?" Ma Chao said, scratching his head in confusion as he walked.

Of course, practice with a bottle of medicine during the day and half a basin of soup at night

"Haha, so that's how it is. Indeed, the young calf is not afraid of the tiger." It seems that he has encountered jealousy. Sun Daobiao laughed heartily, fully aware that Wei Song was reminding him to be diligent in his work.

If we were to move him, along with several hundred personnel from the county office, it would indeed be a considerable transaction

Hmph, what good is just talking big!" Ma Chao glanced at him, looking at him with disdain.

"So many, class leader, I only have about twenty left here" Ma Chao was taken aback

At that time, Wu Hui will definitely contact Ding Mao for the sake of the money, and it will be easier to handle

By the way, the 'Jinchuang Ointment' produced by the Liu family is not as good as those on Earth. Ye Canghai slapped his forehead; the original owner of this body had been a medicine jar since childhood, so he was quite familiar with medicines.

Very well! Ye Canghai, not one to be pretentious, nodded and then followed suit into the room

"Ning Chong, how much silver would it take to make Ding Mao's heart stir?" Ye Cang Hai inquired

"Indeed, I haven't said enough!" Sun Daobiao thought to give himself a hard slap, considering that he needed to add more. He nodded and smiled, saying, "Isn't that so? He is the county school instructor, and he even killed two leaders of the Yellow Horn Village. He is a hero. We common folks cannot afford to provoke him. If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't settle for less than two thousand taels."

He looked at Ye Canghai, respectfully yet confidently cupping his hands, then gestured towards the backyard, making a motion of invitation, saying, "I am Liu Kai, the second manager of Liu's Pharmacy. Please, Master Teacher, come in for some tea."

"Hello, Steward Wei, please have a seat, please have a seat." The head of the Sun family, Sun Daobiao, from the prosperous Sun clan in the county, smiled broadly as he clasped his hands together. He then bent down, extending his hand in a gesture of servility.

"To do business, one needs substantial capital. The adults are even poorer than us, what kind of business can we do! However, it doesn't matter, I have no intention of asking the adults to return that twenty taels anyway," said Ma Chao.

Alright! Even if you invest, I will find a way to make up for the shortfall. You are responsible for gathering information and finding a way to get in touch with that lecher from the Sun family. Ye Canghai waved his hand, took out several dozen taels of silver, and gave them to Ning Chong and Ma Chao, instructing them to go and take care of the matter first

That young man is indeed quite bold, daring to provoke Master Fan. Sun Daobiao wore a look of glee and schadenfreude.

"Never mind, let's get down to business first," Ning Chong said

It is not my family's master, but rather that he, the toad, wishes to eat goose meat

Relying on the arrangement made by his ancestors, he has engaged in a marriage proposal; however, how could the young lady from the provincial family possibly look favorably upon him

"It is Hero Ye, indeed. Very well, I will report immediately, please wait a moment." The thin-faced young man raised his eyes and, upon seeing this, his eyes instantly lit up as he nodded and ran towards the back hall

This person is also responsible for procurement in the village, so it would be better to set up a system and use money to influence.

Otherwise, Ding Mao would look down on him. Although Ma Chao is known for his temper, he also possesses a certain level of subtlety beneath his rough exterior

"Master Biao, this is Wei Song, the steward of the Fan family from Dongyang County." Today, a distinguished guest arrived at the Sun family's old residence, brought by the bully Fan Dong.

I heard that there is a county school instructor named Ye Canghai at the county office, and their ancestral grave is on your family's land

This is easy to handle. The Hornet's Nest has been causing trouble for years, and I have secretly had people keep an eye on it.

In a previous life, I was involved in the commercial sector, and I had several pharmaceutical companies under my management

"Two thousand taels, that kid can't even cry!" Fan Dong scoffed from the side.

"I heard that you asked the Ye family for eight hundred taels?" Steward Wei glanced at him sideways and asked nonchalantly

"Indeed, I have been quite worried about it," replied Ma Chao

Because this Fan family is not simple. They are a prominent clan in Dongyang City, ranking among the notable families in Dongyang.

Because this is also a test. If someone is willing to go to great lengths, even selling their possessions to gather money for you, that person is absolutely trustworthy

"Hehe, you all did a great job with the land deed." Wei Song suddenly laughed

Wei Song shook his head, deliberately revealing an even more formidable background.

I am not afraid to tell you, because that brat Ye Canghai has provoked someone he shouldn't have!" Wei Song banged the table, looking quite arrogant

Without at least four or five hundred taels, it is certain that Ding Mao will not be moved, Ning Chong pondered for a moment and said

Of course, of course, that piece of land is not simple; it is a feng shui treasure land with the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right, where the dragon coils and the tiger resides. Upon hearing this, Sun Daobiao thought he had encountered a big spender and immediately burst into laughter.

"It's only 1,200 taels, not much at all," Steward Wei said, stroking his beard with a faint smile.

The constables of the catchers also need medicine, and we provide it all. Moreover, for large quantities, a 10% discount can be applied

Confronted by the Fan family, Sun Daobiao did not have the courage to resist and could only nod in agreement, saying, "Alright, since Master Fan has spoken, it shall be settled this way. However, I am somewhat puzzled as to why you are willing to offer five hundred taels"
