The highest quality herbs are reserved for high officials and nobles, with their prices being exceedingly high, especially as the age of the herbs increases, so does their price.
There are a few rather expensive herbs in the fetus-preserving medicine, and they are not available in the south; they have to be transported from the north.
Ruo Xuan, having grown a considerable amount of herbs, had learned about the prices of various herbs from her fifth uncle.
Her fifth uncle had also mentioned that sometimes, the purchase price for high-quality herbs from the harvesters isn't necessarily very high. However, many herbs need to be processed and graded, and to satisfy the vanity of some wealthy households and to give them peace of mind, of course, the medical hall would also like to earn more silver, so they set high prices.
