Lu Jiu has been idle these days. She just replied to several messages asking for help from her city-state in the chat channel. They were all short of medicines and wanted to know if she could purchase some.

Who knows why, but Xuantian City was already very famous in Long Province. It was probably because she helped the other city last time, so everyone came to try.

Lu Jiu now has two pharmacies in the city-state. She often goes to the one with the beautiful store manager and rarely goes to the other one.

The store with the beautiful store manager was now continuing to refine various medicines, while the remaining pharmacy only makes medicines to remove the negative status of typhoid fever.

For the procurement requirements of other city-states, she consulted Shen Jufeng.

Recently, the tailor shop has produced winter clothes with a +50℃ warmth property. Maybe because of this reason, not many people in the city were sick.

Shen Jufeng also bought the clothes as soon as possible. The style was still customized by him. The style was smooth and fashionable. It was a winter coat, but he wore it as if he were going to a fashion show.

Seeing Lu Jiu wrapped in a down jacket, Shen Jufeng slightly shifted his gaze: “It’s not impossible to purchase those, but the price can be slightly higher.”

After all, those people were not residents of their city. They were trading, not doing charity.

Lu Jiu said: “Of course, the price will be one-third higher, but compared with the prices sold in other city-states, this is good enough.”

The medicine for treating the negative state of typhoid fever was not that expensive, and the price increase of one-third is generally affordable.

Besides, it was a one-third increase based on the price of their Xuantian City.

But Lu Jiu had other ideas: “Our NPCs are so capable. I have added several NPCs with high-level talents in several of my stores. Although they are not store managers, they are also serious about making goods. I want to export all our goods.”

She had this idea when the city-state was upgraded to level three, because most of the city-states she knew were not as good as Xuantian City, and the goods they made were also not as good.

So when the city-state was upgraded to level three, she specially opened a branch for all the shops that existed in the second-level city-state, so that one day she could make more goods and sell them to other city-states at a higher price.

She has always set a low price for people in the city, but she doesn’t need to consider so much for residents who are not in the city-state, and she will control the price well.

Shen Jufeng folded his hands in front of his abdomen: “Yes, is this why you opened so many branches?”

Originally, he thought that this little rich woman had too much money and had nowhere to spend it, so she opened branches, but she didn’t often go to those stores.

Lu Jiu sat cross-legged and talked about her plan: “I was thinking since the equipment and props made here are so good, why not export them and sell them? There is a gap between NPCs, even if they are both high-level talents.”

This was what she found interesting. High-level talent NPCs were not absolutely at the same level, and there were differences.

Maybe Shen Jufeng was there when the city was built, and she got some luck from him. Anyway, the NPCs hired so far were all very good.

Shen Jufeng nodded with satisfaction: “You have improved a lot. I thought you wouldn’t consider these.”

In the past, Li Jiu only participated in some trivial matters in this city-state, while he made all the decisions on the really important matters. Even so, she has made progress.

Lu Jiu was a little flattered when she heard his praise: “That’s right. After all, my father also started from scratch and became worth hundreds of millions. I am like my father, and I have inherited some of his business talent.”

Shen Jufeng just chuckled: “What’s your father’s name? It’s amazing that he started from scratch and became worth hundreds of millions.”

He can have a big company because of the accumulation of several generations of ancestors, and his ancestors also came from the same way as Lu Jiu’s father.

“My father’s name is Lu Hongzhi, you don’t know, but my father went to Yanjing before, and I don’t know where he saw you. He also mentioned your name at home, but I didn’t care at the time.”

When she first met Shen Jufeng, she didn’t remember who he was.

Shen Jufeng searched in his mind and had never heard of this name: “Maybe I attended a banquet before, and your father happened to be there.”

After all, he was a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions, so he could still attend some banquets.

Lu Jiu didn’t want to recall too much and sighed: “Anyway, my dad told me that the bigger the business, the easier it is to do, and the smaller the business, the harder it is to do. I always remember this and want to expand the city-state’s business and make it a city-state that exports many goods and becomes famous throughout Long Province.”

“Your dad is right. Since you have this idea, then do it boldly. Anyway, there are strong and weak city-states, and each city-state cannot accommodate unlimited residents. There will always be some weaker city-states.”

A level 1 city-state can accommodate 10,000 residents, a level 2 city-state was 500,000, and a level 3 city-state was 1 million.

So now the city-state area was particularly large, but the area where residents moved was very concentrated because there were not so many people in each city now.

And whether they were strong or weak, there will be demand. The weak can only strengthen themselves and become less weak by purchasing powerful weapons.

The two began to count and discuss how many city-states needed to purchase and how to sell them in batches.

A city-state in Qiuyu City.

The mayor where Ruan Fanyao live was waiting anxiously, but he did not expect to receive an email later. It was the mayor of Xuantian City who agreed to his request to purchase medicine. Not only that, but she also listed other practical goods in their city-state, with selling prices.

Seeing the list with such clear markings, the mayor smiled bitterly: “Is this an advertisement promotion…”

But the things inside really made him excited, there were bronze-level weapons, winter clothes that can be +35-40℃, various effective medicines, and items.

One of them was called the captured stone, which he was very interested in. It can record videos. If there is any conflict in the city, this thing can be used as evidence.

Finally, he replied to the letter and chose to buy the maximum limit of 400 bottles of medicine to remove the negative state of typhoid fever. He also bought more than 200 winter clothes and various weapons.

Lu Jiu, who received the money, expressed satisfaction. So this was what business was all about. No wonder, her father loves to tell her about business every day.

In this way, many city-states know that Xuantian City sells various equipment and items. People who admire it were calling Xuantian City on the dialogue channel, hoping to get a response.

With the winter clothes and potions sold here, many city-states have recovered. Winter clothes are very important. Only by wearing warm clothes can you fundamentally avoid getting sick again.

Some city-states were in good condition, while others were in a miserable state.

There were no protective shields, nor sufficient potions and winter clothes here. Many residents died this winter.

These people were looking forward to the end of winter and then leaving the city-state where they were currently. If they were still here in the next winter, they would not survive.

Lu Jiu was worried that her city-state could not accommodate a large amount of people, but there were not many residents anymore right now.

But she didn’t know that a great human migration was about to happen. At that time, the city-states with good living environments will usher in the first population surge.

However, at this moment, she was contentedly trading goods with the various city lords.
