Chapter 498: 50,000 Jin of Divine Star Grass

"What? There is such a thing!"

Xia Xuan looked incredulous, but after he slowly came to his senses, that incredulous expression turned into anger.

"Xian'er, are you telling the truth?"

Xia Xuan was furious, "I have always treated them as my real relatives and have been trying every possible way to help them. In the end, I have raised two ungrateful people!"

Having said that, Xia Xuan immediately knelt down to Su Chen and said, "Thank you very much, Master Alchemist, for your help. You saved my daughter and I. I will repay you for your kindness in my lifetime!"

"Don't call me Master Alchemist. Call me Young Master Chen." Su Chen said, "Do you two have anywhere to go now?"

Xia Xuan and Xia Rongxian looked at each other, and Xia Rongxian said softly, "No, we are just rootless duckweed, helpless in the imperial capital, and we only rely on this Rongxian Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce was originally just a small stall, and it has gradually developed to its current scale because of my father's excellent business skills."

"Since you have nowhere to go, then continue to stay in the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce."

Su Chen said

"My Lord, are you saying that we can continue to stay in Rongxian Chamber of Commerce?"

Xia Xuan asked in a trembling voice, with a light of surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

"That's right, I just happen to lack manpower to manage the Chamber of Commerce, so you and your daughter can stay here. The 500,000 taels of silver will be my reward for hiring you and your daughter for 50 years."

Su Chen said, "Of course, if you do well, you can also get dividends from the profits of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

The father and daughter of the Xia family said hurriedly, both of them were very happy.

They had all prepared to leave Rongxian Chamber of Commerce and find another way out, but they didn't expect to continue to stay in Rongxian Chamber of Commerce. This was the best result for them who had a deep affection for Rongxian Chamber of Commerce.

Su Chen naturally had his own plans. He wanted to buy Rongxian Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't want to take care of the trivial matters of the Chamber of Commerce himself, and he didn't have the time.

Gu Qianyin and the others were not suited to run the Chamber of Commerce, and the Xia family father and daughter did not seem to be people with bad intentions. Moreover, they had feelings for the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce, and they would definitely do their best to help run the Chamber of Commerce.

"Okay, gather all the clerks and repair the damaged facilities in the Chamber of Commerce first."

Su Chen waved his hand and said that the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce was now in a mess, and it would definitely not be able to reopen before it was repaired, but it would give him time to prepare.

At that moment, Xia Xuan gathered all the managers and clerks in the Chamber of Commerce and introduced them to the new big boss "Chen Shu".

When these managers and clerks heard that the new boss was the great benefactor who saved the shopkeeper, they all kowtowed and knelt, expressing their gratitude.

It seemed that the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce had a strong cohesion and was of one mind.

Su Chen took a general look and did not intend to replace these managers and clerks, so he handed them over to Xia Xuan to continue managing them.

He learned about the situation of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce from the father and daughter of the Xia family. At first, Rongxian Chamber of Commerce was just a small stall on the street. It gradually became the current scale, all thanks to Xia Xuan's business skills. Today, the business of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce has involved various fields such as elixirs, magic weapons, and magic talismans. Although it cannot be said to be a big chamber of commerce, it is also a little famous in the neighborhood.

Xia Rongxian's mother died early, and she was raised by Xia Xuan. The father and daughter went from being drifting like duckweed at the beginning to being able to gain a foothold in the imperial capital and even help relatives. It is quite difficult.

"Xian'er, your uncle and cousin are really heartless. I used to help them repeatedly. As a result, they actually set their sights on Rongxian Chamber of Commerce and you, and secretly poisoned me. Their conscience is really black."

Xia Xuan was still very angry when he talked about this.

Although the healing pills sent by the two men at that time were not preserved, there is no evidence now to prove that they poisoned the pills. But considering that after Xia Xuan was poisoned and fell into a coma, the two men were eager to occupy the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce, and it is almost 100% certain that they were the ones who poisoned him.

Their trick was very obvious, which was to make Xia Xuan comatose. Because according to the laws of the imperial capital, when Xia Xuan was comatose but not dead, Xia Rongxian, as a child under the age of 20, had no right to dispose of the Chamber of Commerce under Xia Xuan's name alone, and the close relatives must jointly decide how to deal with it.

This also gave Xia Rongxian's uncle and cousin the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole, which is why Xia Rongxian's uncle clamored before that even if the Imperial Guards came, they would not be able to control their family affairs.

However, at the moment, the father and daughter of the Xia family did not have the leisure to settle accounts with the two men in the first place. Their minds were all on the reconstruction of the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce.

After all, it was Su Chen who gave Xia Xuan a new life and gave Xia Xuan the opportunity to continue to manage the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce. Xia Xuan was grateful and must be thinking about how to run the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce more prosperously.

...

Su Chen and his friends stayed at Rongxian Chamber of Commerce. Fortunately, there were enough houses in the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce, so even if there were five or six more people, it would not feel crowded.

In the next few days, Gu Qianyin and the others quickly became familiar with the father and daughter of the Xia family.

On the third day, Xue Yong came back exhausted.

He spent all the 500,000 taels of silver to purchase 50,000 jin of Shenxing grass.

It was 10 taels of silver per jin of Shenxing grass. If the old guys in the Danyu of Su Chen's previous life knew about this price, they would probably go crazy.

Speaking of which, when Su Chen was 30 years old in his previous life, he was taken away by Qingfeng Danzun who passed by Yunyuan Empire, but the place Qingfeng Danzun went to at that time was not the imperial capital, but Duyang City where the Su family was.

So Qingfeng Danzun did not find the large area of ​​Shenxing grass in the imperial capital of Yunyuan Empire in his previous life. If he had found it, it would probably have directly affected the pattern of Danyu of his previous life.

At present, Xue Yong almost bought all the Shenxing grass in the imperial capital.

Although there are many Shenxing grasses growing in the imperial capital, this kind of grass has a long growth cycle. Once harvested, it takes at least three years to grow again.

So now, it can be said that all the Shenxing grass in the imperial capital is in Su Chen's hands.

With the Shenxing grass in hand, Su Chen also has confidence. These Shenxing grasses are his weapon to quickly gain a foothold in the imperial capital.

"Su Chen, why did you buy so many useless purple condensation grasses?"

Li Shitong asked curiously, and not only Li Shitong, but even Xia Rongxian beside him also showed doubts.
