Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 117 Cooperation

For the first batch of medicinal herbs planted in the medicine garden, Yun Fuling only picked a few that were easy to grow and grow, such as honeysuckle, mint, Panax notoginseng, and wolfberry.

Yun Fuling screened the villagers who wanted to work again, selected some of them, signed contracts, and hired them to manage the medicine garden.

Yun Fuling had said before that anyone who grew good medicinal herbs would be rewarded with a half share of the harvest in the future.

With this carrot hanging in front of them, the villagers who signed the contract were very careful. They looked at the medicinal seedlings as if they were their own children and treasured them like their own children.

When Shopkeeper Hang saw Yun Fuling asking him for medicinal herb seeds, he thought she wanted to grow them for fun.

After all, medicinal herbs are not so easy to grow. Among so many families in the Daqi Dynasty who deal with medicine, only a few can grow medicinal herbs.

And these companies can only grow a few kinds of easy-to-grow medicinal herbs.

So when they learned that Yun Fuling had set up a medicine garden, not only Manager Hang but also Old Man Hang was shocked.

Old Man Hang didn't care about the bumpy ride in the carriage, so he asked someone to harness the horse and went to Shuanglin Village himself.

At this time, the new sprouts of the medicinal seeds planted in the medicine garden have broken through the soil, and the grafted medicinal seedlings are also full of vitality, looking a lush and green scene.

Yun Fuling has devoted all her attention to the medicine garden these days.

During the day, he leads the villagers to open up wasteland and plant medicinal herbs, and he also has to find time to train the villagers and teach them how to manage the herbs.

Fortunately, there were not many types of medicinal herbs in this first batch, and they were all easy to grow. As long as the villagers were willing to learn, it was not difficult.

Moreover, when fleeing famine, some villagers followed Yun Fuling to collect a lot of medicinal herbs, and later sold them to Ping'an Hall for a fortune.

Some people who are quick-witted and smart think this is a good way and study it very hard.

Even if I don't manage the medicine garden for Madam Yun in the future, I can still grow some medicinal herbs to sell.

Although those honest people may not think of this, as long as they take good care of the medicinal materials they are responsible for, they can also share the dividends when the medicinal materials grow in the future, so they also learn very hard.

When Grandpa Hang and his companions arrived, Yun Fuling was patrolling the mountain to check the growth of the medicinal herbs.

After receiving the news, Yun Fuling immediately went down the mountain to greet them personally and took Grandpa Hang and the others on a tour of the medicine garden.

Mr. Hang was amazed at what he saw.

"Back then, our master led us brothers to try to grow medicinal herbs, but in the end we only grew mint and honeysuckle."

"Your medicinal garden looks much better than your great-grandfather's!"

Yun Fuling said modestly: "I just tried it out by trial and error, I don't know if it will work or not."

Looking at the lush greenery, Mr. Hang felt that Yun Fuling's medicinal garden would most likely be successful.

Yun Fuling remembered that Xiao Jingyi once told her that her great-grandfather had cooperated with the Xie family to build a medicine garden, but later had a falling out with the Yun family for some reason.

Maybe Mr. Hang knows the inside story of this matter.

Yun Fuling asked.

Unexpectedly, when Mr. Hang heard the name of the Xie family, his face darkened.

"A whole family of ungrateful villains!"

"The Xie family was originally just a herbalist family. They met your great-grandfather by chance. They had similar personalities and became friends."

"Later, your great-grandfather became interested in growing medicinal herbs, and herbalists had a hard life, so Xie took the initiative to study how to grow medicinal herbs with your great-grandfather."

“Later, they actually got them to plant it.”

"Although we only grew mint and honeysuckle, the Xie family can live comfortably by selling these two herbs, and no longer have to work hard as herbalists."

Most of the medicinal herbs in this era were wild, so the profession of herbalist emerged.

Many herbal medicine families cooperate with medical families, which is a win-win situation for both parties.

That was the case with the Xie family in the beginning.

The Xie family was originally a small family, but they teamed up with the old Marquis Jichun and later cooperated in growing medicinal herbs, and then they gradually became rich and prosperous.

But there is a kind of people in this world who can only share adversity but not wealth.

Once you become rich, your thoughts will no longer be the same as before.

When Mr. Hang mentioned the Xie family, he was in a bad mood.

"After that family became wealthy, they became arrogant and were not satisfied with the dividends that your great-grandfather had agreed upon."

"They feel that since the herb garden is being taken care of by their family members and they have contributed more, they should get the lion's share, rather than having the profits split equally between the two parties."

"Don't they think about it? If it weren't for your great-grandfather, how could they grow honeysuckle and mint?"

"Later, taking advantage of your great-grandfather's death, the Xie family set up their own business and took away all the herbs and manpower in the medicine garden."

"They even turned around and cooperated with the Lin family. The Lin family is a medical family with a history of hundreds of years, and they don't get along well with your great-grandfather."

"Thanks to growing medicinal herbs, the Xie family is now quite famous in the medical field."

"Just keep these things in mind. Be careful when you meet people from the Xie family in the future. You can't make friends with people from that family!"

Yun Fuling nodded upon hearing this.

The Xie family’s character is indeed worrying!

After the group strolled around the medicine garden, Yun Fuling invited Mr. Hang to her home to rest.

Before reaching the Yun family, Mr. Hang smelled a strong medicinal fragrance in the air.

"Is there anyone in this village who prepares medicinal herbs?" asked Grandpa Hang.

Yun Fuling glanced at the direction where the medicinal fragrance came from, smiled and shook her head, explaining:

"I set up a small pharmacy and hired some people to help cut and boil the herbs. Otherwise, how many pills could I make with just my hands?"

Shopkeeper Hang poked his head out to look and saw that the pharmacy was right next to the Yun family.

He really wanted to go in and take a look, but was afraid that it might involve confidential information, so he didn't dare to ask.

An idea suddenly popped up in Yun Fuling's mind.

There are few people under her who are familiar with medicine, but the Hang family has no shortage of people in this area.

Her pharmacy can actually cooperate with the Hang family.

As the saying goes, "One hero needs three helpers." After her interactions with the Hang family, she had a good impression of them.

In the future, whether she is working in the medical field or dealing with Yun Gansong's family, she will always be powerless alone. If she has the help of the Hang family, it will save her a lot of trouble.

Besides, Mr. Hang was the apprentice of her great-grandfather.

Having this kind of relationship is definitely more solid than working with other people.

After entering the Yun family, drinking a cup of tea and taking a short rest, Yun Fuling told them that she wanted to cooperate with the Hang family to open a pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Hang's eyes widened in shock, and he said in disbelief, "Junior Sister Yun, you are not kidding, are you?"

Yun Fuling said with a smile: "Brother Hang, do you think I'm joking?"

"To tell you the truth, Prince Yi and I will take Jing Mo back to the capital in a few days."

"Although he was murdered by a traitor, Jing Mo is the son of Prince Yi and me, so I must give him a legitimate birth."

"After I leave, the medicine garden will be fine, but if there is no trustworthy person to take over the medicine shop, it will have to stop."

"But the villagers and I escaped from famine together, and we have formed a bond through hardship. I always want to think more about them."
