Chapter 290: Doing Business is Not Like Practicing Medicine

Seeing that Shen Qionghua really agreed, Pei Liangchuan felt a little embarrassed.

"Miss Shen, I'm just talking."

Pei Liangchuan is not stupid either. How much money he earns depends on who he compares it with.

Although some businessmen have big businesses and earn a lot of money, most of them have inheritances passed down from their ancestors. With the accumulation of several generations, it is not surprising that they earn a lot of money.

Some businessmen who are not wealthy start small businesses. If they do well, they can earn some money to expand their business. However, if they are cheated by others, they may lose everything.

Pei Liangchuan didn't think he was a good businessman. At least compared to Shen Qionghua, he was inferior in business. Moreover, he had no patience, otherwise he would not have tried to save trouble by persuading An Jin to go to Jiangnan with him to open a restaurant.

At that time, he was planning to invest money and get a few percentage points of the shares, while An Jin would manage all other matters. He just sat back and waited for the sweet dream of collecting the money.

Doing business is not like practicing medicine.

With his skills in treating patients, as long as the disease was not as difficult as the mixed poison that Xie Nanyuan had suffered before, he could basically give the patient a few prescriptions, a few injections, and a few days of recuperation, and the patient would recover within seven days.

The consultation fee is charged according to the number of times, and the medicine is charged separately. He can easily earn thousands of taels of silver, and he is extremely free. He doesn't have to worry about other people's expressions, and others always flatter him.

But doing business is completely different.

If he dislikes someone, the most he will do is not to treat him or charge him for the consultation. But if he suddenly gets tired of doing business and doesn't want to do it anymore, he can't just quit halfway, right?

Especially after this incident, Pei Liangchuan became more certain that he was not suitable for doing business.

He was originally very happy that he could earn so much money in just a few days, but when he actually started doing it, he realized how difficult it was.

For example, when he was on the road, he was in a hurry, fearing that the food would be bought by others if he was late. It was unlike when he was treating patients before, and others always accommodated him.

As long as he is not going to die immediately, no one dares to say anything even if he is sightseeing on the road.

Then he negotiated with the grain merchants. He needed the grain urgently, but the grain merchants relied on the grain in their hands to raise the price.

He was really flattering and said all the nice things, but was still turned down.

When had Pei Liangchuan ever suffered such humiliation? He turned around and went to those villages to buy food.

After buying the food, he also had to contact the fleet and ask someone to help deliver it to the designated farm for storage.

All in all, Pei Liangchuan felt tired and tedious during this trip. He had to put on a smile and endure grievances. He was so busy that he didn't even have a good meal.

Although he might earn more money than he did as a doctor, the cost was not equal to his income.

In the past, he just saw patients and wrote prescriptions, and didn't have to worry about anything else. But now it's different, he is busy from beginning to end.

Besides, it is not always possible to have such a good thing as now, and to get so much money. If he were to start his own business, he would probably earn less than he does now, so why bother?

Now that he has Miss Shen as a stable financial sponsor, he is generous and magnanimous when it comes to buying medicine. Since he met Miss Shen, he has received at least 7,000 or 8,000 taels of gold. The situation is very good.

Pei Liangchuan was very clear-headed. He must be crazy to give up medicine and go into business.

Pei Liangchuan's eyes kept turning, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, and sometimes pouting, which made An Jin frown, wondering what kind of mess he was thinking about.

Shen Qionghua saw the two of them, one sitting on a chair with a dreamy look on his face, shaking his legs and smiling wickedly, while the other was standing aside with a look of disgust on his face. Looking at this scene, she always felt an inexplicable sense of humor.

Shen Qionghua stroked the corners of her upturned mouth, and tapped the table twice with her fair and delicate fingers, successfully bringing Pei Liangchuan back to his senses.

Shen Qionghua coughed lightly and said, "Since Dr. Pei has completed the task perfectly, then according to the agreement, I will give you 40% of the silver."

Speaking of money, Pei Liangchuan's eyes immediately lit up.

Shen Qionghua took out a small box from her sleeve and placed it on the table. Pei Liangchuan took it and opened it, revealing a golden glow inside.

"I know you only accept gold, so I went to exchange it specially." Shen Qionghua said.

Pei Liangchuan closed the box with satisfaction, and looked at Shen Qionghua with a slightly flattering look. He coughed lightly and said, "Well, Miss Shen, if something like this happens again next time, remember to think of me."

Although it was a bit tiring, it was still worth it to get so much after all the hard work. I can do it in my spare time. After all, Shen Qionghua is generous.

As for other businesses, forget it. The profit from them is not even as much as the medical fees he collects.

Shen Qionghua smiled and nodded, "If you need to buy food later, you must find Doctor Pei first."

Knowing that the grain had been transported to the farm and the silver had been paid to Pei Liangchuan, the matter came to an end. The rest depended on Xie Qian'an, who would then act accordingly.

Although most of the food has been prepared, Shen Qionghua still hopes that the day will come when he will not need it.

Because that means Xie Qian'an has become so crazy that he doesn't even care about the border wars and the lives of the people for the sake of the throne. This is definitely not a good thing for Shen Qionghua.

Shen Qionghua took a carriage back to the Shen Mansion.

He also wrote a letter to Luo Xiyao, informing her that the food had been prepared and asking her not to worry. He stamped the letter and asked Shaoyao to deliver it personally to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

In the next few days, the capital was calm.

The Shen Mansion was guarded by An Yi, who reported to Shen Qionghua that the number of people loitering and monitoring outside the Shen Mansion had decreased significantly in the past few days.

Shen Qionghua also guessed that the news of Xie Nanyuan's defeat might have comforted Prince An and made him relax his vigilance.

Shen Qionghua told An Yi not to act rashly, and while Prince An was relaxing, sent half of the secret guards to the farm where the grain was stored.

Previously, Xie Nanyuan made a fuss and sent more than ten secret guards to the Shen Mansion to protect Shen Qionghua's safety.

At present, Shen Qionghua stays quietly in the mansion and rarely goes out, so there is no need for so many people. What's more, Xie Nanyuan is not in the capital now, so it is a good time for Xie Qian'an to take action.

Shen Qionghua felt that as long as she didn't act rashly and attract the attention of the people watching outside, Xie Qian'an would not spare the energy to keep an eye on her.

Shen Qionghua thought that if Prince An really wanted to tamper with the transportation of grain, she would need to deliver the grain to the border as soon as possible.

These grains cannot be exposed to the public, otherwise they will alert the enemy and King An will find a way to destroy them, so the selection of people to escort the grains becomes the top priority.

An ordinary escort agency would definitely not work. Shen Qionghua didn't trust them. After thinking about it, he felt that the secret guards of the Shen Mansion were the most reliable.

Most of these secret guards have been trained since childhood and are extremely loyal to Xie Nanyuan. Moreover, they are all strong and have great physical fitness. Aren't they better than those who practice martial arts in the escort agency?

But An Yi refused. "Miss Shen, the prince specifically instructed us to ensure your safety before he left. He asked half of us to go to the farm..."

Shen Qionghua was somewhat helpless. "I'm not going out, so why do I need so many secret guards? Leaving half of them will be enough."

"Now that Prince An has relaxed his vigilance, they can still leave. But if Prince An becomes alert again later, it will be difficult for them to leave the Shen family quietly without leaving any traces for them to notice."

As the saying goes, even a passing goose leaves traces. Xie Nanyuan's secret guards are very skilled in martial arts, so how can we know that there are no masters around Prince An? If more than ten people leave the Shen Mansion at once, they will definitely be noticed.

Seeing An Yi struggling, Shen Qionghua frowned and said, "An Yi!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"The prince sent you to the Shen family. Didn't he say you have to obey my orders?"

"Yes!"

"Then what are you doing?" Shen Qionghua said in a deep voice, "You must understand that the Shen family can only have a future if the prince returns safely. If the prince cannot return safely and Prince An ascends to the throne of crown prince, can you guarantee my safety?"

Obviously it can't be done.

Moreover, in An Yi's heart, Xie Nanyuan still had the upper hand. He bowed and said, "Yes! I will arrange it right away."

That night, more than a dozen black figures climbed over the wall and headed towards the city gate.
