Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 189
Chapter 189 Parachute into the Chamber of Commerce
Bai Junzhuo looked at the wooden box and asked, “What is that?”
Yin Xun picked up the wooden box and opened it. “This was also brought in by the Heavenly Square side along with the rice bag. It was called Wu Xiang.”
As soon as he opened the box, a strong bitter smell flew out. Bai Junzhuo looked at the black fragrance curiously and saw a brown thing lying in the box. It looked a little like chocolate. Bai Junzhuo used his fingers to gouge out a piece of it and sniff it under his nose. After a while, Bai Junzhuo suddenly widened his eyes and said to Yin Xun in fear, “This is a crow!”
Yin Xun was puzzled, “What?”
Bai Junzhuo studied modern history for a semester and knew that British merchants smuggled crows in the waters of Guangdong Province in the Qing Dynasty. Could it be that this era also needs to produce that period of history ahead of time?
Bai Junzhuo said seriously, “Poppy can be introduced, but this black fragrance must not be introduced.”
Yin Xun was still confused, but he didn’t ask any further. After a moment of thought, he nodded and said, “Alright, it’s up to you.”
On the contrary, Bai Junzhuo was stunned for a moment and asked him, “Aren’t you curious why I’m so afraid of this Crow Fragrance?”
Yin Xun smiled at her and said, “I don’t understand what you’re saying, but after such a long time, I know what you’re saying is always right. Therefore, it’s up to you to decide on these small matters.”
Bai Junzhuo’s heart warmed up as she said tenderly, “You still believe me if you don’t understand. Aren’t you really afraid that I’ll lie to you?”
Yin Xun’s gaze was gentle. He nodded her nose and said, “I’m really curious about what kind of person Miraculous Physician Bai is. He can actually raise a daughter like you. You’ve lived in your boudoir for a long time, but you should be unfamiliar with the world, yet you’re so intelligent and knowledgeable. Are you really a Holy Maiden?”
Bai Junzhuo smiled and said, “I’m not a Holy Maiden, but I do come from another place. I told you that you might not understand. Even if you do, you might not believe me.”
Yin Xun gathered a trace of curiosity in his pitch-black eyes. He looked at her and said, “Tell me about it. As long as I understand, I will believe it.”
Bai Junzhuo was momentarily speechless. Could he be told these things that were not explained by science? He, would he take her as an idiot after hearing this?
Yin Xun did not rush her, he just looked at her quietly.
She thought about it and said, “The story is too long to be told in a short while.”
‘”Nothing,” he said, stretching out his hand to hold her. “Anyway, we have a lifetime to talk a little every day, and one day I will finish listening to your story. Now, tell me who you are and where you came from.”
Bai Junzhuo was stunned. He raised his head and asked, “What do you mean by that? Do you know that I am not …”
‘”When I first saw you, Miracle Doctor Bai had just died, but you didn’t show any sadness. I suspected that you weren’t the real Bai Junzhuo. But when your relatives returned, they didn’t recognize you and dispelled my doubts. I knew that you weren’t Bai Junzhuo after hearing what you said just now.” “Tell me who you are and where is the real Bai Junzhuo?” Yin Xun asked seriously, unable to see any emotions on his face.
After a moment of silence, Bai Junzhuo slowly said, “That’s right, Bai Junzhuo, who has been raised by the Bai Clan for more than ten years, died in the fire set by her concubine mother.” And in different spacetime, I also died for some reason. Afterwards, I, as a person, might be my soul, or just my thoughts and memories, inexplicably landed on Bai Junzhuo’s body. Do you, do you understand? ”
Yin Xun silently shook his head, “I don’t understand.”
Bai Junzhuo felt uncomfortable one layer at a time in his heart. He didn’t know if it was pregnancy syndrome, but his eyes immediately turned red and he asked, “Then don’t you love me anymore?”
Yin Xun couldn’t help but laugh. He rubbed her head and said, “Since the first person I met was you, and since then I’ve been with you, the person I love is also you. Whether you’re Bai Junzhuo or not, as long as the person beneath this body is still you.”
Bai Junzhuo threw himself into Yin Xun’s embrace with a “wow” sound, tears streaming down his face.
Yin Xun was helpless as he gently patted her back. After she calmed down, he comforted her gently, “What’s there to cry about? If you keep crying, I won’t want you anymore.”
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly wiped away his tears and choked, “I thought you didn’t know how to say love words. I didn’t expect you to say it so well. I’m so touched.”
Yin Xun was speechless. He rubbed her head and said, “Alright, let’s not talk anymore. Tomorrow, we will go to the Chamber of Commerce together. Let’s rest early.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded gently, “Yes.”
*
Early the next morning, Bai Junzhuo and Yin Xun went to the shop after they were ready.
Bai Junzhuo seemed to have heard from his former history teacher that China had always valued agriculture over commerce, and merchants had no status. It wasn’t until the Qing dynasty that it sprouted except for organizations like the Chamber of Commerce. However, this dynasty seemed to attach great importance to business.
The Chamber of Commerce in Chang’an was built under the Ganye Temple’s twin towers. It was three storeys tall and covered an area of three hundred mu. Pavilions, pavilions, carved beams, and painted pillars were more exquisite than the residence of a scholar-bureaucrat in the imperial court. Among them, the merchants wore luxurious clothes and were presumably people of high standing and dignity.
The two of them directly went up to the third floor. As soon as Yin Xun arrived, everyone stopped talking and said loudly, “Greetings, Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess.”
Yin Xun gently waved his hand and said to the crowd, “Today, this king is still here to discuss the rice bag and Wu Xiang with everyone.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone said, “Reporting to the Ninth Prince, the grass dwellers have already discussed the price with the merchants from the Heaven Square yesterday. The rice bag is one jin of silver and the black incense is one jin of gold.”
Bai Junzhuo frowned and asked, “Did you agree?”
The man nodded and said, “It took the grass-dwellers a lot of effort to bring down the price.”
“Do you know what effect this black incense has?”
“Crow fragrance can make people forget their troubles and become immortal,” the man said.
“Then do you know what harm it does?”
When Bai Junzhuo asked this question, everyone looked confused. After questioning each other for a while, no one knew.
Bai Junzhuo looked at Yin Xun and said, “Your Highness, are all the people standing in this room representatives of the drug dealers in the various prefectures of the Li Kingdom?”
Yin Xun nodded, “Exactly.”
Bai Junzhuo frowned and said sternly, “Why is the representative of the pharmaceutical dealer completely unskilled in medicine?”
When the people below heard Bai Junzhuo’s words, they immediately exploded. Someone immediately retorted, “The Ninth Princess is surprised to hear this. Since we can represent the pharmaceutical dealers, our family has been selling medicines for generations. How can we not be proficient in medicine?”
“Are you really proficient in medicine?” Bai Junzhuo sneered, “Do you know why I’m here today? Do you know how I know how powerful this rice bag and Wu Xiang are? Because a maidservant girl in Ninth King’s Mansion has used this rice bag and is already crazy!”
The pharmacists looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
Bai Junzhuo said seriously to Yin Xun, “Your Highness, selling medicine is different from selling cloth and iron. The slightest carelessness will kill the people. Therefore, this representative of the pharmaceutical dealer must be proficient in pharmacology, right?”
“You’re right,” Yin Xun nodded gently.
‘”Your Highness can’t use it. The key is still the word’merchant’. Even though our representatives are not as proficient in pharmacology as the others, we still have great merits in business. How can we all be replaced just because of the princess’ words?” Someone below hurriedly said, “Your Highness can’t use it. The key is the word’merchant ‘.”
Yin Xun crossed his arms around his chest and said indifferently, “That makes sense.”
“Then, in order to make money, you must buy the black incense from the merchants of the Heavens?” Bai Junzhuo sneered and turned his head, pointing at the large plaque behind him. “Do you all deserve the words’take money and be trustworthy to the people ‘?” Bai Junzhuo said.
Everyone was stuck speechless by her. Yin Xun’s expression was calm as he concluded, “The princess is right.” However, if everyone were to be replaced at once, it would inevitably affect the normal operation of the medicinal ingredients. However, regardless of whether the medicinal ingredients are harmful or not, you bought them and sold them to the people of Li Kingdom. This great unrighteousness truly makes this king’s heart freeze. Someone who is proficient in pharmacology must be in charge. ”
After saying that, he looked at Bai Junzhuo and smiled, “Princess, I might have to trouble you.”
Bai Junzhuo saw a trace of intolerance in his eyes and smiled at him. Looking at this tacit understanding, she did not discuss with Yin Xun on the way here about how to enter the Chamber of Commerce and how to make the people of the Chamber of Commerce unable to utter a single word of nonsense. After arriving here, as soon as she opened her mouth, her family’s Master Yin knew how to continue.
Everyone naturally had nothing to say, and they still had to be grateful to Yin Xun.
Bai Junzhuo officially took over the Chamber of Commerce. The first order was to prohibit everyone from buying and selling Wu Xiang. Rice bags could not be sold too much. If a patient wanted to buy rice bags, he had to obtain her consent.
Someone asked, “If we don’t sell black incense, then what if the merchants from the Heaven Square don’t sell it by our hands?”
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment, then turned to Yin Xun and said, “This is indeed a problem. If you want to solve it, you must let His Majesty know about it and order it to be banned.”
Yin Xun nodded, “I will enter the palace to discuss with Royal Brother later.”
‘”Yes,” Bai Junzhuo said seriously, “this medicine must be strictly controlled. If the merchants of the Heaven Square want to sell it to other countries, they must obey the rules of the Li Kingdom. If they still dare to sell it, they will be sent to prison and punished severely.”
The merchants sighed endlessly at Bai Junzhuo’s iron wrist technique, but they had nothing to say.
This matter was settled first. After that, Yin Xun went to the palace first. Bai Junzhuo wanted to know more about the Chamber of Commerce, so he stayed behind.
There was a library on the first floor of the Chamber of Commerce. It recorded the origin of the Chamber of Commerce and the names of the members of each Chamber of Commerce. Not only were there medicinal ingredients in operation, there were also others.
Bai Junzhuo found a secluded corner and flipped through the list of members of this year’s Chamber of Commerce. Just as he was looking, he vaguely heard someone on the other side of the bookshelf mention the words “Duke Bai”.
Bai Junzhuo’s heart skipped a beat. Bai Gonglu, isn’t that the father of the original owner?
So she looked closer and listened to what the man was saying.
“Don’t you know? The princess is the daughter of Duke Bai.”
“Of course I know. The princess treats disasters and saves people like a god. She really has the demeanor of Divine Doctor Bai back then!”
“But there’s one thing you definitely don’t know.”
“What is it?”
