After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Chapter 206 Bartering for Things

Sure enough, Murong Xun's eyes flashed, "That's a good idea."

"Your Highness, I can guarantee that the quality of the tea I provide in the future will not be worse than it is now. However, the price must not be lowered. It is better to sell less than to sell indiscriminately."

Scarcity increases value. She was confident in the quality of the tea produced in her space. As long as she controlled the price, making a fortune every day would not be difficult.

"I know what I'm doing. Miss Xue, could you provide some first so that Yueyin can check out the market?"

“That works. Let’s start with ten catties of each kind and test the waters in the capital. Five days later, Your Highness can send someone to Jiangnan to test the waters. There are many wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, so they won’t be short of money.”

Since ancient times, the Jiangnan region has been a prosperous area, and it was the least affected by this heavy snow.

The Jiangnan region is known as a land of fish and rice, rich in produce. While other areas suffered severe snow disasters during this blizzard, the Jiangnan region was relatively less affected.

Local officials and merchants, taking advantage of their large grain reserves, colluded to raise prices arbitrarily, disregarding the safety of the people.

In a past life, it was because these people controlled the grain and manipulated grain prices that many disaster victims died of hunger and cold in the blizzard, leaving behind a scene of widespread suffering.

This severely damaged the Chu and Qin states, leaving them beset by internal and external troubles and causing widespread suffering among the people.

This time, it's finally their turn to fleece each other.

"Thank you for the reminder, Miss Xue. That was exactly what I was thinking. Those rare fruits and vegetables from the south have already been sent to Jiangnan for sale. I have urged them many times to send more fruits and vegetables over."

What Xue Ruanruan could think of, Murong Xun had naturally thought of long ago, and had already sent people to Jiangnan to test the market.

The results were, to put it simply, unexpectedly good.

"I have another suggestion."

"Miss Xue, please speak freely."

"Your Highness may wish to barter, without accepting silver, directly exchanging for supplies; if you lack food, you can exchange for food; if you lack clothing, you can exchange for clothing."

"what do you mean?"

"By exchanging tea for grain or other goods, there are no middlemen taking a cut, and the profit is even higher than that of collecting cash."

"Hahaha... I have to say I'm quite impressed with Miss Xue. This is indeed a good idea."

Two bursts of laughter erupted from the study, echoing through the sky, leaving all the servants of the Regent's Palace stunned.

The prince had never laughed so heartily before. What exactly did Miss Xue say to her master?

"I knew our master treated the divine healer differently. Listen, when has our master ever smiled so charmingly?"

Yan Xiao winked at Yue Yin, looking smug.

"From now on, refrain from speaking recklessly about your master's private affairs, or you'll get a beating."

Yueyin was busy processing the medicinal herbs that had been brought back the night before. These herbs were ones that he had specially requested from Uncle Zhang, and they were all herbs that his master could use on a daily basis.

For safety's sake, he checked each one before starting to hang them to dry.

"As long as our master can marry and have children, and give us a little master, what does it matter if we get a beating?"

Yan Xiao didn't care at all. He was just like an old woman. Apart from Granny Gui, he was the one in the entire Regent's Palace who was most anxious about Murong Xun's marriage.

He couldn't wait to serve his young master.

“Go tell this to your master. It won’t do you any good if you tell me. Do you think I can persuade my master?”

“I don’t want to get punished. If Master really marries the Divine Physician, the little master they have will definitely be smart, clever, and adorable. You won’t find another one like him in the entire Chu Qin Kingdom, no, in the entire Kyushu.”

"boring"

Yueyin rolled her eyes and turned around to continue drying the herbs.
