Things are different now
In the back office of the state capital, Tongshou Chen Liang and Master Chen met Changsheng. He pulled her hand to a table of the Eight Immortals with a smile on his face, opened the baggage on the table with his own hands, and revealed a bag full of silver inside, which he sent to Changsheng.
Pushing it in front of him, he said with a smile on his face: "This is my young master's bet, a full three hundred taels. Uncle Chen, I am convinced that I lost."
Changsheng looked at the other party and saw the joy on Chen Liang's face, and his respect seemed to have some flattering meaning. He didn't see the slightest displeasure on his face after losing the bet.
State Shepherd Wang Yannian also smiled and said: "My dear nephew, just accept it. Uncle Chen likes to bet with others all his life. Every time he loses, he can't eat for several days. This is the first time I've seen him lose."
So happy too.”
When Chen Liang heard this, he nodded, stroking his beard and laughing.
Changsheng's heart moved and he asked softly: "But there is news from Mr. Sun?"
"My nephew is indeed very talented," Wang Yan said, stroking his palm gently, "The medicine of Dr. Sun has been distributed to all counties and counties, and they have also distributed it to the villagers. After taking it, patients with symptoms can't be treated immediately after taking it.
He recovered, but his condition did not continue to worsen. It is considered to be under control."
"I have ordered all counties to place epidemic patients in centralized places, isolate them from the outside world, and assign dedicated personnel to take care of them every day. Sun Lao should be the first to contribute to this anti-epidemic action."
"So the epidemic is under control?"
"I can't say that it's completely under control, but at least it's much better than before. After the people learned that there was already a good medicine for the disease, they were not so panicked. Those with plenty of food were isolated at home. As long as we can survive this period, I believe it will be
The one who can defeat it is all the credit of the two of you." Wang Yannian said, clasping his fists and saluting.
Li Yuan on the side quickly stepped forward to support her, "Where is her credit? It's all the adults who never gave up and allowed her to do whatever she wanted without blaming her. This is because God bless me, China, God bless me, and the emperor's kindness is profound."
When all the adults heard this, they all saluted towards the east with their hands clasped together, "Thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings and is a blessing to all people!"
After everyone stood up, Wang Yannian smiled and pointed at Changsheng: "But, having said that, Lord Duke, your young master's methods are really powerful."
"Before, he said that he could make money after the disaster, and I thought he was just dreaming. But now if you look on the street, there are refugees clamoring to go to Longshan every day, saying that there is not only food and clothing, but also things to do.
Qian. Do you think this is great?"
Then Chen Liang also came over, "Not only that, yesterday I saw the eldest son of your family sitting on a large carriage entering Tongji Pharmacy, and the carriage was full of medicinal materials. This old man Sun
The magic medicine has taken effect, and now there is a frenzy of looting outside, so just wait and count the money while you lie at home."
"It's just a piece of medicine, how can it be so exaggerated? Uncle Chen must be joking." Changsheng expressed disbelief.
"My dear nephew, you are wrong this time. Think about how many of those rich and noble families are not afraid of death. When the refugees first entered the city a few days ago, I heard that they were suffering from an epidemic, and the doors of each one were closed tightly. They were so scared that they died.
It was later confirmed to be a rumor. Later they
But the plants and trees were all gone. I heard that anything that could prevent and cure the epidemic was hoarded. I even bought a cart of green garlic. Now that I know the medicine that can cure the epidemic, why not spend a lot of money to buy it." Chen Liang laughed heartily and vomited out the food.
Depressed by the matter.
Wang Yannian also picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Mr. Chen is absolutely right. Yesterday, the wives of several families asked my wife about medicinal materials. How much do you think they have to pay? This is the number!"
He stretched out two fingers and shook them.
Twenty taels?!
Changsheng looked at his father in surprise, and Li Yuan nodded: "Someone also approached your mother, but she rejected her. The price was very attractive. She knew the importance and told the other party that there was neither a prescription nor any medicinal materials at home.
They should go elsewhere and find a solution. Your mother also asked me to tell you to be careful in everything!"
Chang Sheng handed over his hand and said, "Mother is worried. Uncle Wang, this herb is produced in Longzhou and is not my private property. It should belong to the people of Fufeng County. My nephew will make arrangements when he gets back today. Private sales to outsiders are prohibited.
Medicinal materials, all medicinal materials are first supplied to the state government as supplies for epidemic prevention and control. Do you think this is good?"
"Hey, my nephew is really surprising. It's really rare to have such knowledge at such a young age! Thinking about my rebellious son, the Duke of Guo is really jealous of you!"
Wang Yannian didn't expect Chang Sheng to be so sharp. He just mentioned the herbal medicine in a vague way, and the other party understood it instantly.
Not only that, but he also received such a huge favor.
He was so knowledgeable that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Chen Liang was also shocked. He thought Li Yuan knew about it in advance and specifically told Chang Sheng.
But looking at Li Yuan's expression, it doesn't feel like it. But if there was no communication in advance and these words were said by the child himself, it would be too scary.
In today's situation, who doesn't know that there are only two most valuable things: food and medicine.
It is because they have control of food that the aristocratic families can blackmail the government, drive up prices, and wait for opportunities to make profits.
The government was also unable to take the initiative in dialogue with the clans because of the lack of food in stock.
Now that Doctor Sun's medicine has been proven to be effective, both sides have finally switched sides.
If people from these big families care about their lives, they all have to buy it.
To put it bluntly, who knew you would be infected that day? It’s better to be prepared now and then go find it again.
Sorry, if you want medicine, you have to ask this young man first if he will agree.
It seems ridiculous to say it, but it is the fact that a child less than four years old holds the largest source of two necessary medicinal materials for the epidemic. He naturally controls the fate of many people.
Although Longshan has been supplying medicinal materials uninterrupted during this period, if one day the other party becomes unhappy and suddenly cuts off the supply. Not to mention Sun Simiao, the big shots in the prefecture will become anxious first.
Some ignorant officials have suggested that the government intervene and take over the work of collecting herbs for longevity.
But you don’t look at the person standing behind her, Li Yuan, the dignified Duke of Tang Dynasty. He is a relative of the emperor and a trusted general of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. He holds military power. If you want to bully him, don’t you think you have a long life?
?
In matters of public and private affairs, in matters of emotion and reason, the state and government offices do not take any account of them.
Originally, the purpose of Chen Liang and Wang Yannian's private discussion was to find an opportunity to test Changsheng's tone and see if there was any chance of getting the priority supply of medicinal materials, at least to ensure the continuous supply of medicinal materials.
They all thought that if the other party disagreed, they would write a letter asking Sun Simiao to come forward. His face should be of some help.
Unexpectedly, today, without even saying a few words about Changsheng, they were given a reassurance. This happiness came so suddenly!
Mr. Chen felt as if there was a bright light in front of him, and a prosperous avenue was unfolding in front of him.
Mr. Wang marveled at Changsheng's courage. Whether it was for his father's career or for the lives of the people, he could regard money as dirt and understand righteousness, which he had to admire. This kid will be great in the future~~
Everyone was still sighing, Chang Sheng stood up straight, smiled and gave a salute:
"Uncles, don't worry about the medicinal materials. My nephew will do what he says, but he still has a small request. Isn't it convenient for me to tell you?"
