The next day, after finishing her consultations, Qi Yue returned to find the tall man greeting her, saying the black market had delivered the money from the medicine sales and placed it in the front hall.
"Master, this time it's a million taels of gold. Should we send it to the storehouse?"
Hearing this, Qi Yue halted in her steps.
"Gold... a million taels?"
The price seemed outrageous!
She had originally estimated that even 2 million taels of silver would be the limit!
"Yes, Master." The tall man added, "The black market wants to pre-order all the future medicine supplies from the Master."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue understood.
They wanted to monopolize the business, afraid she might find someone else.
Understandable!
She proceeded to the front hall and indeed saw several large chests, their lids all open on the side, the gold inside gleaming with a warm, radiant light.
Although dazzling to the eyes, it was quite a pleasant sight.
Qi Yue was overjoyed.
