Chapter 101: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 101: Shocked to Numbness
"I'll sell you this whole bottle for just 1000 taels."
Chen Xue did not agree to his request of 2000 taels for just a little bit. Perhaps for Xie Yunshang, this Golden Wound Medicine was very precious, but for Chen Xue...
Well, okay, it's still a bit expensive...
After all, it cost 1000 taels, but as long as she had the money, she could supply an unlimited amount.
"Just one bottle?"
Only then did Xie Yunshang react, then he was surprised, "How is this possible? If I take them all, what will you do?"
"Don't worry!" Chen Xue smiled, "If I'm selling, it means there's more."
"That's true!"
Xie Yunshang nodded, but frowned, "If it's one bottle, I definitely wouldn't only pay 1000 taels."
For ordinary people, 1000 taels was a lot, but for nobles, it was nothing.
They belonged to the imperial family, one of the most prestigious parts of society. Naturally, they couldn't be short of money.
Moreover, he was now General Pingwei, leading troops in battles all year round, and he certainly couldn't be short of money. Even those border tribes, although poor, had cattle, sheep, and horses, each worth dozens of taels at random.
Not to mention other treasures, as well as rewards from the court.
"Don't rush to refuse!" Chen Xue interrupted, "Brother Xie wants the Golden Wound Medicine for those soldiers fighting, right..."
"Exactly." Xie Yunshang nodded, "These soldiers are fighting outside all year round, barely having a few days to return home in a year, and some can't even return home once they leave..."
"I can't protect all of them, can't guarantee that all of them will return home safely, I can only try to keep them alive!"
Xie Yunshang's emotions were somewhat stirred as he spoke. He had seen many compatriots die before his eyes.
They didn't die on the battlefield, but merely from their wounds.
If he had this Golden Wound Medicine, he could save countless soldiers' lives. How could he not be excited?
But, he could only think about it.
This Golden Wound Medicine was so miraculous in its effect, obviously very precious, and having one bottle was already quite good.
"Cough cough..."
Chen Xue coughed, bringing Xie Yunshang's thoughts back, "I want to do business with Brother Xie."
"What business?"
"It's the Golden Wound Medicine in your hands!"
Chen Xue said, then took out several bottles of Golden Wound Medicine, "Brother Xie, I can help you purchase the Golden Wound Medicine. The original price is 1000 taels, but I only need a rebate of 10 taels per bottle, so 1010 taels each. How about it?"
"Golden Wound Medicine?"
Xie Yunshang looked at Chen Xue, who had taken out several precious bottles of Golden Wound Medicine as if she were picking vegetables, dumbfounded.
No, isn't this medicine very precious?
At least he had only heard of it, never seen it.
But when Chen Xue took out several bottles at once, come on, this isn't cabbage, something anyone can buy on the street.
Although the court, or rather, the entire empire, is royal, he had never heard of such medicine from the court.
He was a general, a general of the court, in need of the best military supplies for the court. Yet, he had never seen the Golden Wound Medicine with such miraculous effects, not even an ordinary one.
It could be said that there was only one in the whole empire.
No, now there were several bottles.
"Are you selling all of these to me?" Xie Yunshang was somewhat surprised. He had only intended to buy a little bit, but who knew there would be such a windfall.
With so many bottles, he could save at least a dozen soldiers, or even more.
"Exactly!"
Hearing Chen Xue's answer, Xie Yunshang also became somewhat excited, "I'll say it again, 2000 taels per bottle, Xiao Xue, don't rush to refuse."
"This medicine is precious, as we both know. It's worth this price. Furthermore, even if you say the cost is 1000 taels, I can't let you suffer."
"This medicine isn't available in the court, obviously you've gone to great lengths to obtain it. Just ten taels, how can it compensate for your efforts?"
"Let's not argue anymore. Let's compromise. 1500 taels." Chen Xue spoke up, "Xiaoxue didn't lie. This medicine only costs 1000 taels, but Yunshang is right, this medicine is indeed not easily obtainable."
"So, let's compromise. 1500 taels."
With that, Chen Xue looked at Xie Yunshang again, "Don't rush to oppose. Xiaoxue's intention is to do long-term business with you."
"We can continuously provide you with this Golden Wound Medicine. So, being able to buy it cheaply saves a bit of money, and with that extra money, you can buy a few more bottles of Golden Wound Medicine and save a few more lives!"
Chen Xue's words made Xie Yunshang silent. If Chen Xue had said 1200 taels, or even cheaper, he definitely wouldn't agree, but 1500 taels...
Moreover, Chen Xue's words made a lot of sense. The money he saved could buy a few more bottles, saving more people.
"Alright!"
Xie Yunshang nodded without hesitation, taking out a silver note from his body, "Here are 9000 taels."
Chen Xue took the silver note, feeling a bit emotional. She had made 3000 taels in one fell swoop, no wonder everyone liked doing business, making money was really fast.
Originally, she hadn't thought about making this money, after all, Xie Yunshang's original intention was to save people, but she couldn't resist him.
"How will we deliver the Golden Wound Medicine to you in the future?" Chen Xue frowned.
"That's a problem?" Xie Yunshang frowned. He couldn't follow the exiled team all the time, and he had to return to the capital to report, and then continue to guard the border.
"Then I'll send someone to follow you. When you let him contact me, I'll send someone to pick it up. How about that?"
"That works."
"One more thing."
Chen Yuan interrupted their conversation, "For future transactions, we can not only use silver notes, but also other gold and silver jewelry, handicrafts, rare and exotic treasures, music scores, recipes, etc., as long as they have value..."
Although money was important, knowing that his daughter had miraculous abilities, especially the contribution points, was even more important. It could exchange for all kinds of magical things.
Even various life-saving items were available, so Chen Xue believed that having enough money was enough, and the more contribution points, the better.
"Yes, why didn't I think of that." Chen Xue slapped her forehead. Even without her father saying it, she had forgotten about this.
"This... Master Chen, isn't this inappropriate?" Xie Yunshang was puzzled. After all, he thought that the Golden Wound Medicine in Chen Yuan's hands was also bought from someone else.
And if it were gold and silver jewelry, that would be fine, but some other handicrafts, these were not as valuable as the precious Golden Wound Medicine.
Moreover, even if some jewelry were very valuable, costing over a thousand taels each, they still couldn't compare to the preciousness of the Golden Wound Medicine.
"Let's go with what we said!" Chen Yuan decisively made a decision, not allowing Xie Yunshang to object.
"Alright!"
"That being the case..."
Chen Xue continued, "Tomorrow, I can provide you with a batch first. Brother Xie, you can prepare some money or goods, and we can directly trade then."
"Okay."
Xie Yunshang nodded, not caring. After all, he had been shocked too many times today. Having killed countless on the battlefield, his eyes wouldn't even blink, but now he had been shocked several times and his eyes widened.
However, Xie Yunshang still didn't expect that Chen Xue would shock him speechless again tomorrow.
