The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 303: New Medicine, New Distribution, New Price, Wen Han Shu Zhang Taishou's Secret
As soon as Luo Yuan saw that Zhang Zhongjing agreed, he immediately went to the place where the medicine was made to find Zhang Zhongjing's disciples and announced that the flour content of the aphrodisiac pills would be increased to 70%.

Since the data has been falsified, do we still need to follow the numbers that Zhang Zhongjing and I said?

Of course not.

If the flour content is increased to 70%, the aphrodisiac pills will be the same as steamed buns.

But Luo Yuan’s costs have increased, so the price of the medicine has to go up.

After discussing it with Xu Shu, he immediately negotiated with the merchants and asked to add two thousand coins to the price of each pill because a new formula was used.

The new formula doesn’t cost any fucking money.

Buy it if you want or not. If you don’t want to buy it, get out. This is the only medicine in Jiangling.

Ask around the world to see if there is any other place selling this kind of medicine?
The people sent by the nobles to purchase were very dissatisfied at first, but they accepted it soon.

It turned out to be a new formula. It has the same function but is more stable and safer in effect. Everyone knows that aphrodisiacs are harmful to the body, and safer means less damage to the body.

Having said that, everyone feels that the price increase is justified!
Makes sense.

The new pills were soon sold out. When Zhang Zhongjing heard about it, he was dumbfounded. Were those nobles so easily deceived?
What the fuck is going on?
Aren't the nobles quite smart? How come they become fools when they meet Luo Yuan?

It is more expensive, the effect is worse, but it sells better.

Zhang Zhongjing couldn't figure it out and could no longer sit still, so he hurried to find Luo Yuan to find out what was going on.

"It's normal. People are greedy. Mr.'s medicine is a good thing. How can he not want to make money from it?" Luo Yuan said with a smile.

Those who come to buy pills actually want to be middlemen. After all, the Han Dynasty is so big, but only Jiangling produces this kind of finished medicine. If it is more expensive, they can sell it at a higher price.

So it doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive.

Just sell the medicine and then brag about it.

Luo Yuan doesn't even need to advertise, because those nobles who want to make money from medicine will help Luo Yuan to deify Zhang Zhongjing.

This way it will be beneficial to everyone and everyone can benefit from it.

Through medicine, Luo Yuan can collect a large amount of grain, cloth, copper coins and gold, which will invisibly attract materials from all over the world to flow into Jiangling.

"But won't those who buy and eat it think it's fake?"

"The people who take the medicine are all from the noble families, and the people who buy the medicine are also from the noble families. Can the noble families admit that the things they sell are fake? Or can the people who take the medicine admit that they have no eyesight and bought fakes? Sir, you are also from the noble family, so you should know how important reputation is to the noble families. Suspecting that someone is selling fakes is questioning their reputation. It's okay for the two families to fight to the death!"

Luo Yuan understood the nature of the gentry too well and could easily grasp it. This was human nature. As long as these people were unwilling to admit that it was fake, then it was true.

As the ruling elite class of this era, would the nobles expose this inside story? Everyone must blow the bubble together, and the bigger the bubble is, the more benefits everyone can get.

If you have been cheated, would you remind others to be careful? Of course you would drag more people into the trap, so that everyone is on the same level and no one laughs at anyone else.

“Hiss…Is that so?”

After listening to what Luo Yuan said, Zhang Zhongjing was silent for a long time, then he sighed heavily, and suddenly felt that his reluctance to be an official was justified. Seeing that Luo Yuan was so black-hearted and shameless, he felt that he could not compare with Luo Yuan at all. He could see through the thoughts of the gentry.

No wonder he can become the lord.

"I'll just focus on treating patients and teaching students. You can handle the medicine making yourself. You can use my reputation as you like." Zhang Zhongjing gave up completely. Insistence is useless. The aristocracy is rubbish.

I will not get involved in such matters in the future, and it will have nothing to do with me, as for my reputation.

If I get involved with Luo Yuan, can I still keep my reputation?
Zhang Zhongjing thought, he couldn’t even protect his own reputation, so how could Dong Feng and Hua Tuo still want to have a good reputation?

"Hurry up and get Dong Feng and Hua Tuo here as well. You can't just tarnish my reputation, so just let them go!"

"Don't worry, sir. I will make sure that you all get the same treatment," Luo Yuan was very happy that the old man had come to his senses.

Face is useless. Working hard to gain benefits is the most effective.

Zhang Zhongjing didn't need to worry about his reputation. He was definitely a pioneer in Chinese medicine and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

I will write it into the Book of Han later.

"Sir, Wen Ji told me that she wanted to edit the "Book of Han" and I have already agreed. I want to write a separate biography for you. Wen Ji will find you later to learn about your life. When you go back, you can recall your life carefully!"

Zhang Zhongjing was about to leave, but he got a headache when he saw Luo Yuan. After hearing this, he came back immediately. The old man's eyes were bright as light bulbs, and he couldn't believe it.

This is so exciting!

Leave your name in history!
"Book of Han"

"Yes, wasn't my father-in-law Cai Yong compiling the Book of Han before? He compiled a little bit and then died. Now that Wen Ji has inherited her father's ambition, I will of course strongly support her. I have already asked the Hedong Wei family for Wen Ji's dowry, which included the part of the Book of Han compiled by Cai Yong. Now that Wen Ji is compiling it again, you must publish a separate biography, sir."

"This... this old man has no deeds, how can I have the nerve to write a biography for him? No, no!"

"Well, whether it's suitable or not is not your concern, sir. That's Wen Ji's business. When Wen Ji visits you later, you should tell her about your life in detail. We need to leave it for future generations to read. The more detailed the life story, the better. Only in this way can future generations know what you did, right!"

Zhang Zhongjing looked at Luo Yuan and his heart was filled with emotion. He never thought that he would be qualified to be included in the Book of Han. This was such an honor.

"Gongqi, if you add 80% of the flour to the pill, it will still be effective!"

Look!
Isn't this a leak?
It’s not that the old gentleman doesn’t know how to be sensible. On the contrary, he is very sensible. Luo Yuan nodded slightly. Eighty percent?

Let’s increase it to 80% later, and revise the prescription again. This time we will say that new technology has been used.

Isn't it reasonable to continue to increase prices because new technology is used?

As long as it's reasonable, it's fine.

Luo Yuan was extremely satisfied with Zhang Zhongjing's reaction. He felt that this trick should also be effective on Hua Tuo and Dong Feng.

Just ask Hua Tuo and Dong Feng whether they want to leave their names in history.

Want to come quickly.

With Zhang Zhongjing's support, Luo Yuan became even more crazy about producing aphrodisiac pills. The formula was made of 80% flour, and the wholesale price of one aphrodisiac pill was 20,000 coins. He refused to bargain or lower the price, and the price on the market even exceeded 100,000 coins.

Luo Yuan made a fortune, and so did the nobles who participated in this business. They all cooperated happily and harvested the money and grain from the other unscrupulous nobles who were unaware of the situation.

Soon, the aphrodisiac pills became popular among the gentry in Changsha. If everyone else was eating them but you didn't, then you were not a member of the gentry and would be looked down upon.
This causes the price of aphrodisiac pills to rise further.
