Medical Brocade

Chapter 88 Business
In the main hall, several elders, Qu Fengquan and Qu Fengchun had already sat down. Qu Fengquan's first seat had not changed, but the person sitting next to him was the oldest and most senior second old man among the elders. The old man is currently the eldest of the Qu family, older than the old lady. He is also on crutches, and his expression is a bit sleepy, as if he is out of spirits.

After Qu Huanxiang and Qu Ruowen went in, they saluted several elders and sat beside them.

"Ah Quan, this is..." The second old man asked in a drawn-out voice. In the past few years, no one was involved in the business, let alone a young girl who was not good enough.

"This is my nephew's third daughter, Qu Ruowen." Qu Fengquan said.

"It turned out to be my grandniece. What about last year's accounts and this year's situation? Do you want her to hear it too?" The second old man dragged his voice, as if he was deaf and unable to hear someone speaking.

"Well, from now on, my nephew will take her to and from the Qu's drugstore." After Qu Fengquan said a word, the main hall became very quiet.

Even Qu Ruowen was dumbfounded, and Qu Fengquan took her in and out of the Qujia drugstore, which meant that Qu Fengquan wanted to take her to familiarize herself with the medicinal materials and business affairs of the Qujia drugstore.Although it is not forbidden for women to do business, Dong Xiaoqian is an example, but Qu Ruowen is such a stunned and stupid person, Qu Fengquan actually wants to train her, not to mention the elders can't believe it, even Qu Fengchun and Qu Huan Xiang feels incredible.

"What about Huanxiang?" The second old man asked vaguely, his tongue was a little rough, but obviously it didn't affect everyone's hearing.

"Xiang'er is too busy alone, my nephew is going to let Wen'er try it out, and help with the Qu's drug store in the future."

Everyone naturally understood Qu Fengquan's simple meaning, but they didn't understand why he had such a plan and announced it to the elders so grandly.

"Ah Quan, the water that the married daughter poured out, you take her into the Qu family drugstore, wait for a year, she married, isn't it for nothing? And, let her husband's family know the quality of our Qu family. How decent is the matter." The second old man immediately disagreed, and the elders all looked at the second old man's opinion, and they agreed with whatever he said.

"After the Ye family's divorce, my nephew reconsidered. With Wen'er's appearance, it may be difficult to get married. I have to wait a few more years. My nephew can see that Wen'er has some knowledge about medicinal materials. , Doctor Qi also told my nephew that he wanted to bring Wen'er with him to teach, and it will not be a problem to study medicine with Doctor Qi in the future." Qu Fengquan explained.

"Doctor Qi said he wanted to take her as an apprentice?" The second old man coughed a few times in excitement.

"Well, I mentioned it to my nephew yesterday, and my nephew has carefully considered it. After the new year, I will take her to worship Dr. Qi as a teacher." Qu Fengquan said that he didn't mean to respect the elders in the clan. He is the master, and he is also the one who runs the business of the Qu family. As long as the Qu family is profitable every year and can give them a sum of money, they have no ability to dictate.

"This is a good thing. I heard that Dr. Qi didn't even care about the position of an imperial physician, but he condescended to practice medicine for others in the Qu's pharmacy. Now he wants to take Ruo Wen as his apprentice. It's a rare good thing." The second old man stroked his beard. , nodded, "Ah Quan is really lucky, I don't know what Dr. Qi's requirements are for accepting apprentices, why did he suddenly decide to accept apprentices?"

Qi Zhenghe had never accepted disciples, but now that Qu Fengquan gave such news, the elders naturally paid attention to it, maybe their descendants could find a way out in the medical profession, if they could be a doctor in the Qu family medicine shop The doctor who saw the doctor has a bright future.

"It's nothing, Wen'er rescued a person who was judged as hopeless by Doctor Qi yesterday. Doctor Qi was amazed, so he took Wen'er as his apprentice, thinking that she is a good talent." Qu Fengquan said, When the material was made, there were not many elders who were overjoyed. He looked at Qu Ruowen horizontally and vertically. No matter how he looked, how worried he was, he didn’t know if Qi Zhenghe’s decision was too hasty. , but ruined the reputation of the Qu family.

"Even Doctor Qi said there is no help?" The second old man widened his eyes that were about to squint, and was quite surprised, "It's really a material that can be made, Ah Quan, let's just leave it at that. It’s okay to ask her to listen to the things about it, so as to save her from knowing nothing and making jokes.”

"Well, Xiang'er, tell the elders about the business operation of the Qu family's medicinal materials last year." Qu Fengquan drank the hot tea brought by the maid, while drinking, he waited for Qu Huanxiang to report the situation.

Qu Huanxiang has been dealing with medicinal materials by his side for several years. He has roughly understood the Qu family's business, but when it comes to mastering and controlling, he is still far behind.

"Last year, the pharmacy added two new branch offices. The Qu family has a total of 85 branch offices in Qi State. In the account books reported by the eight big housekeepers, they earned a total of 950 million taels last year, regardless of costs. Excluding the collection of medicinal materials, The cost of wages, dividends, and several accidental losses totaled more than 800 million taels. If the second grandfather has any questions, he can ask his nephew and grandson. If the grandfathers don’t understand anything, they can go through the account books themselves.”

Qu Ruowen didn't know that the Qu family's business situation had to be reported to these people, which might be related to the dividends of several people.

Qu Huanxiang only mentioned some of the costs, and some of them must be used for officials to clear the checkpoints.Although the five major merchants are imperial merchants, the treasury has been enriched in recent years, and the emperor has not collected anything from the five imperial merchants. In order to make the official path smoother in the coming year, the five imperial merchants will often send some money to the government so that they can handle things smoothly .

"We old men can't even read big characters clearly, what else can we see clearly, but do we need to worry about the accounts made by our eldest nephew and grand nephew?" The second old man said like As much as he believed in Qu Huanxiang, in fact, he still wanted to see it in his heart.

Qu Fengquan didn't have time to deal with these people: "Second uncle, the account books are kept there. If the eyes of the uncles get better someday, you can come and have a look. If there is no doubt today, according to the regulations, the second uncle and the uncles Uncle takes 80% of the money, [-] taels, and how to divide it is still according to the second uncle's wishes."

At the beginning, the ancestors made a rule that when the family property of the Qu family was handed over to the descendants, the offshoots could receive a share from the main family, and they could only take [-]% for their own distribution. Relying on side branches to run their own business, or to run other businesses, or to work in the Qu family drugstore, after the death of these elders, this rule will no longer exist, and after Qu Huanxiang accepts it, Qu Fengchun can only enjoy this One share of the dividend, in his generation, no one else shared it with him.

Since it is in accordance with the regulations, the elders have no disputes. After all, they have not contributed much, and it is not bad to get this money. It's just that the business of the Qu family is so good, and medicinal materials are necessities. If there are no major accidents in the future, such a With the development of the situation, such a [-]% dividend will be in the hands of a few people, and it will not be easy to maintain their respective big families if the rest is left. I am afraid that these old guys will not accept it. After all, the hearts of the people are not enough. .
