While Li Qi and Ren Dong were chatting in the hall, Fazheng and others rested outside the hall, waiting for the meal.

Ren Dong's daughter Ren Xu actually chatted with Zhang Zhongjing after serving tea.

When Li Qi came out, he heard Ren Xu talking eloquently: "Take the pulse as an example. If the pulse at Cunkou is weak, it means insufficient yang. If yang is deficient, yin will take advantage of it. If yin is strong, it will be cold, and there will be symptoms like cold water spraying."

I'm so afraid of the cold on my body."

Zhang Zhongjing obviously had a strange look on his face, and then asked: "What is Yin deficiency?"

Ren Xu said: "The weak pulse in the chi is caused by insufficient yin. Insufficient yin causes yang energy to take over, and excessive yang causes heat, so there will be fever."

While they were chatting, everyone saw Li Qi and Ren Dong coming out of the hall and stood up to greet them.

Li Qi smiled and said: "It was a good chat."

Zhang Zhongjing just saw Ren Xu going in to serve tea and thought it was the maid of Ren's mansion, so he said: "The maid of Ren's mansion is actually proficient in medical skills. I really admire you."

Li Qidao: "This is the daughter of the prefect."

Zhang Zhongjing said hurriedly: "Disrespect, disrespect."

Ren Xu said: "The little girl was weak and sick when she was young, so she often read medical books in order to help herself. How can she be compared with Mr. Zhang's medical skills?"

Ren Dong glanced at Ren Xu quietly and hurriedly explained to Li Qi: "My health is much better now, and I almost don't get sick anymore."

Seeing that Li Qi was attracted by Ren Xu's understanding of medicine, he quickly explained so that Li Qi would not lose interest in Ren Xu again due to his frailty and illness.

Zhang Zhongjing said: "The daughter of the prefect is smart, eager to learn, and humble to others. If my lord wants to train more doctors, I think she has great potential. If she can study medical skills carefully, her future achievements will definitely surpass those of me."

Ren Xu hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang is overly praised and I really don't deserve it."

Li Qi moved his gaze to Ren Dong's face, and Ren Dong said: "Let the master make the decision."

Li Qidao: "How can we not listen to the opinions of the parties involved in this kind of matter?"

As he spoke, he moved his gaze to Ren Xu's face. Ren Xu looked slightly flustered and said to Ren Dong, "It's all up to my father."

So this becomes an endless loop:

Party: The father makes the decision;

Father: The lord is the master;

Lord: The parties concerned make the decision;

party……

In the end, Li Qi, who was eager for talents, had to make up his mind for the client: "You should study with Mr. Zhang for a while and see."

The next day, the army set off back to Chengdu.

Ren Dong was sent outside the city gate, and couldn't let go of the sight of the army leaving for a long time.

The son left and went to work in Li Qi's mansion;

My daughter also left and became Zhang Zhongjing's student.

Ren Dong looked up to the sky and sighed: This is really not what I wanted!

Turning around and heading back to the city, he dragged out his long and lonely figure under the rising sun.

The army was marching to Chengdu. Li Fu had already been waiting at the city gate. Seeing Li Qi from a distance, he dismounted and paid homage: "Brother, you have worked hard all the way!"

Li Qi also dismounted and met each other, chatting about Nanzhong affairs all the way, and returned to the Chengdu office together.

At this time, Zhuge Liang also completed his inspection tour and returned to Chengdu, bringing with him Meng Gongwei who had gone to Chengdu to find friends.

When talking about Ren Dong in Qianwei County, everyone laughed happily.

Zhuge Liang said: "Prefect Ren is going to marry his daughter. Why does my lord reject me thousands of miles away?"

Li Fu also said: "That's right, my brother is not young anymore. If the Ren family's daughter is virtuous and virtuous, then marry her."

Li Qidao: "Is this choosing a wife? This is a marriage. It is not advisable to act hastily before you fully understand Ren Dong."

Zhuge Liang said: "What my lord said is true. Since Zhang San is familiar with the natives of Nanzhong, he can be sent to investigate secretly. If Prefect Ren only obtains tea through normal trade methods, I don't think it will be a big deal."

Li Qidao: "That's what I meant. But Zhang San has just returned from Nanzhong, so let him have a good rest first."

Everyone knows that the master is considerate of his subordinates and has a reputation for benevolence.

This flattery made Li Qi feel comfortable, so he held a banquet for all the ministers in the name of celebrating his achievements.

During the dinner, Li Qi asked Meng Gongwei why he came.

Meng Gong said with authority: "You are also the Lord of Shu now. Although there are still many princes who don't recognize it, I recognize you, brother. Who dares to disapprove of the place that you conquered with your own ability?"

Li Qi smiled and said: "People send goose feathers from thousands of miles away, but the courtesy is light and affection is important. You are sending flattery from thousands of miles away, and you are either a traitor or a thief!"

Meng Gongwei was embarrassed for a moment, then quickly adjusted his mood and said: "Since Li Yizhou is the Lord of Shu, can the price of Shu brocade be made cheaper? I recently realized a truth, whether a good can be sold, except for itself

In addition to the quality, it also depends on whether the seller is willing to contribute. In other words, we have to give enough profit margins to businessmen in all states and counties around the world, so that they will vigorously promote our Sichuan brocade."

Li Qidao: "We just want the middlemen to make enough of the price difference."

Meng Gongwei hesitated and nodded repeatedly: "The title of middleman is well used. Li Yizhou is indeed very knowledgeable."

Li Qi sighed: "Brother Meng, you are no longer the Brother Meng I know. Can you not flatter me when you talk about business? It's not impossible for you to lower the price of Sichuan brocade, but the people also have to eat, so the price has been lowered.

The space will not be very large, and you have to exchange enough sales volume for this lower price."

Li Qi knew that although Shu brocade was good, it was not invincible.

Although Su Brocade, Yun Brocade, and Zhuang Brocade have not yet formed a trend in this era, they are definitely showing signs of development.

If the price of Shu brocade remains high, then the other three brocades will fill the gap, eventually causing an impact on the Shu brocade market.

The price of Shu brocade was originally raised by Li Qi when he was in Xicheng. Now if he wants to bring it back down, it cannot be in vain. The middlemen must be allowed to increase the sales volume.

Zhuge Liang came over and said to Li Qi: "Master, actually I have some ideas about Shu Brocade."

Li Qidao: "Kong Ming, tell me quickly."

Zhuge Liang said: "During the Pre-Han Dynasty, the imperial court once set up Jin Guan in Chengdu to be responsible for the production, manufacturing and trading of Shu Brocade. Liang believed that Shu Brocade, as the largest specialty commodity in Shu, could completely restore the position of Jin Guan and make it an important part of our army.

Strategic materials.”

The so-called strategic materials do not mean that Shu soldiers should put on brocade robes and go to war.

Instead, they need to accumulate military supplies and supplies through the trading of Shu Brocade.

What Li Qi didn't know was that Zhuge Liang in the original history did restore the brocade official system and elevated Shu brocade to the level of a "strategic material" of the Shu Han government, making Chengdu the largest brocade weaving center at that time.

Now that time and space have changed and the stars have changed, Zhuge Liang once again proposed the idea of ​​restoring the Jinguan system.

Li Qi generally agrees with Zhuge Liang's idea.

I don’t know if the Jinguan system can work, but Zhuge Liang is definitely better than himself.

Don’t think that just because you are a time traveler is a big deal. Don’t give random orders to things you are not familiar with. Just leave it to professionals.

Li Qi only asked: "If there is a Jinguan, who can serve as it?"

Zhuge Liang said: "It must be Meng Jian and Meng Gongwei."
