Villager of Daming

Chapter 1140: Tribal relations are like neighbors

"The commodities most in demand from each tribe are medicines, powders and preparations. They only use simple medicinal materials. They know a little bit about some medicinal materials here, such as horse manure bags, which they know can stop bleeding, and windshield, which is boiled when pimples appear on the body. water……"

After breakfast, Liu Sheng reported on his work. He came here to stabilize the Jurchens, and at the same time adopted a gentle policy to make the Jurchens slowly and sincerely surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

After the Jurchens saw that they could exchange things, the amount of other things they exchanged was basically fixed, such as salt.

Only buy more medicines. As long as you have something, you can quickly replace it with medicine to treat a certain disease and save it for emergency use.

The Jurchens in the past did not have so many medicines. The Yuan Dynasty inherited the medical skills and medical books from the previous dynasties, but they would not give them to the Jurchens.

And even in the Yuan Dynasty, they couldn't come up with so many powders and Chinese patent medicines. This kind of medicine is actually not good.

To test a doctor, there must be a doctor present. Some doctors have poor medical skills, so it is better to just do nothing! Once you know the general situation, give the medicine in the prescription according to the situation.

When selling powders and proprietary Chinese medicines, we tell you that the dosages for adults and children are different, so the therapeutic effect may be slightly worse, but the probability of problems is also low, unless you take it in the opposite direction.

Naturally, the longest-lasting Chinese patent medicines are pills, dense pills, and wax-sealed pills. They can be stored for a long time, but water-honey pills are not as good. However, water-honey pills are cheap and easy to carry.

As soon as the Jurchens saw that they could exchange things for various kinds of medicines, any "money" they had left would be exchanged for medicines. The leader of the tribe even exchanged a whole set of medicines, including some proprietary Chinese medicines.

Other people don't have that kind of money, so they have to take their time. Some even cooperate with neighbors. Your family will buy one kind, and my family will buy this kind. If my family gets sick first and uses your medicine, you will take it and mine. The same goes for medicine.

"Sure enough, staying alive is the most important thing. Once they had no medicine and fell ill and died. No wonder they had bad luck.

Now that I have the medicine, if I can survive, I will definitely work hard to sell things in exchange for it.

We have a sufficient supply of medicines, but if they are out of stock, the Jurchens will probably think that the Ming Dynasty deliberately did not sell them and watch them die. "

The head of the village analyzed what Liu Sheng said. There was no medicine, and the Jurchens were dead. They accepted their fate and saw that there was medicine, but it was out of stock. They had to have other ideas.

Ling'er continued: "But we can increase the price of medicines. First, increase the prices of some of the medicines sold by Jurchens, and tell them that this medicine is in short supply.

Then we raised the price of our medicines and told them that we could no longer get the raw materials from elsewhere, so we kept charging them at higher prices.

They won't complain if it's not expensive, but they rush to buy it. They even buy the more expensive things as they use them as currency. "

From this point of view, Ling'er said, there is no problem, the price is high, so should we raise the price...

“According to the actual situation, there is indeed a shortage of medicines, and price increases are normal market behaviors.

The same medicines should be given priority to Huimin Pharmacies and herbal medicine libraries in various parts of Ming Dynasty.

If due to various factors, such as insect infestation, regional drought, floods, etc., the supply of raw materials in a certain place is not available.

It can only increase the purchase price of Jurchens. Things like Niuhuang Pills have fewer raw materials, unlike Mother-in-law Ding. "

The village chief suggested that they go to the market as they go, but the people of the Ming Dynasty took it first. It was free, while the Jurchens had to pay.

After one thing was settled, Liu Sheng continued to talk about other aspects.

The Jurchens plant less rice, but more wheat. Because of the convenience of management, rice requires transplanting.

In addition, the Yuan Dynasty did not allow them to mine, so they had few weapons and agricultural tools, which affected their food production.

Some people just graze livestock and plant crops that are easy to manage. It is best to dig a small hole and put in seeds to grow, rather than plowing the land.

"Your Highnesses and Chiefs, they have purchased a lot of farm tools and other tools so far. If they don't have enough, they will owe you first. But they owe this one a lot, but they still have to sell medicine even though they have money. They want to continue to owe this one." Liu Sheng said with a look on his face. With a helpless look, poor people are afraid of death, so they get medicine first and then pay back the rest of the money slowly.

"Are they planting a lot of rice this year?" The head of the village was not in a hurry to talk about the issue of bill collection.

"More, more than last year. It seems that they can provide us with more rice. They know that rice is easy to sell, and Ming Dynasty is willing to pay a high price." Liu Sheng nodded.

"Let them owe. Even whoever provides us with what we need more often will be rewarded with a portion of the money. This money will not be given directly to them to offset the debt." The head of the village nodded.

Xu Da smiled and said: "What a good strategy. In this way, the Jurchens will gradually do what Ming said."

"Mainly to help them. In many aspects, their experience and skills are insufficient, and the Yuan Dynasty blocked them."

The chief did not admit that he was causing trouble, and acted like he was thinking of others.

However, everyone understood and firmly supported it. Not to mention the Jurchens, even the Ming Dynasty's own people, the court wanted to control.

Otherwise, why should there be a road guide? I am afraid that the people will jump back and forth and need stability after the war, so the Mingjiao still exists.

The Ming Dynasty lacked everything and had no money for war. Only Yingtian Mansion had the Huimin Pharmacy and the Herbal Medicine Library, and the schools in other places were not equipped with them.

Fortunately, things have changed for some reason now, and every development direction is in the right direction, which is to make money from outside.

Zhu Xi raised his hand to wipe his sweat: "The leaders of those tribes didn't see us. Are they in chaos?"

"Your Highness, not yet, keep waiting. They come over once and they also need to communicate with each other and ask about others' conditions.

The relationship between tribes is complex, with some looking after each other and some secretly plotting.

Like neighbors, not all villages are Xiaqiu villages. The villagers are united, they are..."

As Liu Sheng spoke, he found that he couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.

Ling'er responded: "I'm afraid that you'll have a bad life, but I'm also afraid that you'll have a better life than him."

"Yes, oh! Sister Ling'er is amazing! That's right, isn't it?"

The fifth child, Zhu Ru, slapped his thigh, thinking that Sister Ling'er's words came from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Sheng's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Exactly, tribes compare with each other. If the tribe next to them is in trouble, they will go to save it, but if the tribe next to them suddenly finds a lot of valuable things, they will not be so happy."

"So good! Being able to carry out differentiated utilization, I'm worried that they will be like Xiaqiu Village."

Xu Da's expression was relaxed. He didn't mean to fight, but a real fight would not work. The Jurchen tribe would fight against foreign enemies together because of the war.

The brothers fought against the wall and defended against their insults.

It's okay for people to scheme against each other. If you want to fight directly outside, they will put aside all the factors of disunity and join you for survival.

The current situation before normal neighbors can be achieved by treating one tribe well and treating the other normally.

This tribe raises more tussah silkworms and is rewarded, while the other tribe raises less silkworms and gets nothing. They can exchange whatever they want.

In the future, the tribes will be competing to complete what Ming wants to do, including accidentally providing the secrets of other tribes.
