Fan Zijin pondered the matter in silence. After a while, he asked, "Do you want me to monopolize this business so that the Miao people will listen to you and me in the future, or do you want the Miao people to submit to the Imperial Court?"
"Of course I want them to obey the Imperial Court," Qi Haoran said without hesitation. His heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Do you intend for the government office to be in charge of this matter?"
Fan Zijin nodded. "We can go to Jiangnan and the north to look for merchants who are willing to buy herbs. We can set a time for them to come over to buy herbs every year during the harvesting period. The government office will be the middleman. In the end, with the help of the herbs, the other businesses in Qiannan will definitely develop. With more people in employment, life will be easier for the people of Qiannan."
