In the afternoon of that day, Xu Li, Li Si and Han Fei gathered in Zhao Kuo's study again.

Zhao Kuo raised the information in his hand and smiled: "I really overestimate this Grand Master.

I thought no matter how he was doing it, the sales of ginseng would be able to return to at least 40%, and now... 35%?"

In front of Zhao Kuo, several confidants couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Xu Li smiled and said, "I heard that Han Xuwei ran to the ginseng shop every day and asked his officials to buy ginseng, otherwise he would have to cause trouble for others.

Over the past month, more than a dozen officials have been dismissed from office because they can't afford it or refuse to buy ginseng."

Zhao Kuo was speechless when he heard this. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Ginseng is so expensive, how can those little officials afford it?"

One hundred thousand per pill, this is still the cheapest ginseng.

The annual salary of an official is only about 100,000 yuan. The annual salary is used to buy a ginseng. Will the whole family go to drink the northwest wind?

Li Si nodded and said, "Not only that, Han Xuwei also pointed at the officials who bought ginseng. The funniest thing is that an official from the Grand Sima Office went to buy ginseng. As a result, Han Xuwei actually humiliated the people because this official had done something for you, the Lord, and said that the official was not raising it. You said this..." The four of them shook their heads and sighed together.

Zhao Kuo said: "So 35% of this is actually still watery?"

Xu Li said with great certainty: "The moisture is not small.

If you count those who were forced to buy ginseng by Han Xuwei, the real sales this month will be at most 30%.

Zhao Kuo felt more and more speechless when he heard this.

In a month, from 20% to 30%?

If Zhao Kuo comes, it will be able to return to normal in just one month, not to mention that it can be done in three days at most! Zhao Kuo said: "So, you really can't let outsiders lead the experts."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, agreeing deeply.

After a while, Li Si and Han Fei retreated, leaving only Xu Li alone.

Zhao Kuo looked at Xu Li with some surprise: "What's the matter?"

Xu Li whispered: "The news that came back from Yanguo Jidu is probably the day when our people go to meet Yanguo Prime Minister Bang Guo Wei."

Zhao Kuo raised his eyebrows and immediately smiled: "Very good, very good."

Han Xuwei, Han Xuwei, do you really think you won?

Let me tell you, my marquis’ real killer has just begun! Yanguo Jidu, Xiangbang Mansion.

Yan State Prime Minister Guo Wei sat in the upper head seat, playing with the few ginseng in front of him, with a very playful expression.

Since its appearance, ginseng has become popular throughout China in just a few years and has become a must-have item for all Chinese nobles.

As the prime minister of Yan State, Guo Wei is the top noble among the nobles. In addition, he is already old, so he naturally has great experience in ginseng.

So Guo Wei could tell at a glance that the ginseng in front of him were not from Shangdang of Zhao State! This means... Guo Wei raised his head, looked at the two businessmen standing in front of him with fear and fear, and said lightly: "You said that these ginsengs were all obtained from Liaodong?"

Chen Xiu hurriedly said, "Return to Guo Xiang, this matter is absolutely true. It is indeed ginseng obtained from a savage hunter in Liaodong.

These five hundred ginsengs were the amount that we both spent all our savings to let the hunter go into the mountains to search, and then get within seven days.”

"Five hundred ginseng, seven days..." The light in Guo Wei's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Who doesn’t like ginseng?

It’s just that it has been monopolized by Zhao State for a long time. Because of the origin, everyone has no good idea.

But now, Liaodong is also the source of ginseng?

When Guo Wei thought of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh to the sky.

After all, it was Xiangbang, so Guo Wei quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart and said lightly: "Chen Xiu, Li Jian, I want to hire you two as my servants, specializing in ginseng procurement and transportation. Are you willing?"

Chen Xiu and Li Jian were overjoyed and knelt down to thank him at the same time.

As for these five hundred expensive ginseng, it goes without saying that it is naturally presented to Guo Wei.

It sounds like Chen Xiu and Li Jian suffered a huge loss in terms of money, but don’t forget that Guo Wei is the prime minister of Yan State. From now on, these two people will definitely meet Guo Wei from time to time. If they perform well, they may even be trusted as their confidants. This is not the value that money can reflect.

After Chen Xiu and Li Jian retreated, Guo Wei glanced at the confidants in front of him and said, "How do you think I should use these five hundred ginseng?"

Several confidants talked: "I think it's best to offer it to the king."

"I think it's best to just take it out and sell it."

"I think it's best to offer part of it to the king, to sell part of it, and to use the rest of the lord for his own use."

Suddenly, a confidant said, "Master, I think these five hundred ginsengs are actually a weapon, a weapon that can affect the situation in Zhao State!"

As soon as this said, everyone was shocked, and everyone's eyes suddenly fell on this trusted retainer.

Even Guo Wei himself showed a surprised expression and looked at the confidant curiously: "Is it affecting the situation in Zhao State?"

The confidant talked: "Please think about it. Isn't Han Xuwei saying that he will recover 50% of his sales within three months?

Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuo must be very reluctant to see Han Xuwei succeed. If we secretly sell these five hundred ginseng to Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuo, and let Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuo secretly sell them in Handan City, then Han Xuwei's demand will definitely plummet, and he will definitely not win the bet with Wu Xinjun!"

Guo Wei opened his mouth wide and said after a long time: "This is indeed the reason.

But, do you really want to help Wu Xinjun?"

The confidant said seriously: "Have you forgotten your previous judgment?

Once Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo wins this bet, the future civil strife in Zhao State will be a foregone conclusion.

Zhao Kuo is even likely to be killed by the Empress Dowager Zhao because of this. Although we are helping Zhao Kuo, we are actually laying the foundation for Zhao Kuo's death in the future.

Anyway, Dayan has now confirmed that there are indeed ginseng produced in Liaodong County, so what is the pity for these 500 ginsengs?"

Guo Wei pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "Okay.

Since that's the case, then I will enter the palace and discuss it with the king and the others. We must get this matter done and let Zhao Kuo win this!"
