Sun Quan was a little angry, but there was nothing he could do.
No one knows whether the terrible smallpox virus will suddenly come to Jiangdong.
The best way is to prevent it in advance and nip it in the bud.
"King Wu, for the sake of our allies, our prince only sells it to you for this price!"
"If someone close to King Wu gets smallpox, he will regret it later."
Deng Zhi's eloquent words made Sun Quan very tempted. Although the ten million money was not a small amount for him, it was not unacceptable.
"I can buy it, but why did I hear that the prescription you gave to Cao Pi didn't cost a penny?"
Sun Quan asked, but Deng Zhi remained calm, as if he had already guessed that Sun Quan would ask this question.
"What King Wu said is that my prince doesn't care about Cao Pi's money at all!"
"Cao Pi is very suspicious, ambitious and unreasonable. To put it bluntly, he has nothing to do with others."
"My prince saved the people of the Central Plains, not Cao Pi! What's more, Cao Wei also shoulders the important task of resisting the Huns and Xianbei."
"The prince couldn't bear to see the ruins of the native land, so he did this!"
Deng Zhi's words were so impactful that Zhuge Jin couldn't help but nod in praise.
At least there are no foreign enemies in Jiangdong now, and the smallpox virus has not yet struck.
If ten million dollars were spent, one could buy such a formula and save the entire Jiangdong from disaster. Zhuge Jin felt that the deal was worthwhile.
"Haha, I already know this."
"Ten million dollars is indeed not much, but it is also a lot."
"Why did I hear that Cao Pi in the Central Plains used Liu Changqing's prescription and caused many people to die?"
"I'm afraid it's not this recipe. Is there something wrong with it?"
Sun Quan smiled jokingly and looked at Deng Zhi.
"Justice is in the heart! If my prince walks upright and sits upright, he will not be afraid of being slandered!"
"If King Wu thinks there is something wrong with this recipe, he shouldn't buy it!"
After saying that, Deng Zhi took a step forward and put the prescription into the brazier.
Seeing the prescription burned to ashes, Jiangdong's ministers were horrified.
Deng Zhi still stood proudly, and the powerful country gave the envoy confidence.
A weak country has no diplomacy. I think of how helpless the Han Dynasty was when facing the Huns when they were surrounded by Baidu.
Now facing Cao Wei and Sun Wu, the Han Dynasty always has the confidence!
"Bo Miao, what do you mean by this? This king is just joking, don't take it seriously!"
"The prescription... I will buy it from Soochow!"
Sun Quan felt a little numb. He didn't expect Deng Zhi to be so tough and not at all indifferent to him, the King of Wei and Wu.
"Don't worry, King Wu. I have a photographic memory. As long as King Wu hands over the money, I will inform you of the recipe."
Deng Zhi was also afraid that Sun Quan would regret it. Since the tens of millions of dollars had not returned to the Han treasury, he planned not to reveal the prescription for a day.
"Okay! I promise you!"
After much talk, the two parties finally reached an agreement.
"In this way, I will not disgrace my mission."
"Please ask King Wu to transport the 10 million yuan to Jingzhou first."
"After all, there are many patients in Xinye City, and our army has also spent a lot of money purchasing medicinal materials these days."
Sun Quan heard this and asked, "I heard that Liu Changqing took in those refugees. How long have they lived?"
Deng Zhi felt proud when he mentioned this.
"Go back to King Wu, there are as many as 90% survivors!"
"These people from the Central Plains will become my Han people!"
"My big man will arrange them in Jiaozhou!"
Hearing this, Sun Quan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Originally, he wanted to rely on Nanhai County and live in Jiaozhou.
Now Liu Mang has gained another 30,000 people. These labor forces will definitely make Jiaozhou stronger.
"That's really...congratulations, Mr. Chang!"
"Thank you very much for your concern, King Wu. My prince has said that I hope King Wu will keep a low profile and bide his time."
Deng Zhi smiled and said: "After the smallpox incident, my prince will definitely attack Wei. I hope the King of Wu will not forget that you are the King of Wu of Han Dynasty, not the King of Wu of Wei!"
Sun Quan nodded slowly. He did not dare to attack Cao Pi before because the opponent was strong.
But now it's just the opposite. At least on the surface, he and Cao Pi are still allies.
This move of stabbing an ally in the back was a skill that Sun Quan could master.
The allies changed from Han Dynasty to Wei Dynasty.
"Don't worry, I always have a big man in my heart!"
Deng Zhi is not trying to expose Sun Quan, at least it is not yet time for both parties to completely fall out.
"Then I'll take my leave first!"
"Go slowly and don't send me away!"
…
Luoyang.
Sima Yi followed Cao Pi's instructions and gave all the credit for the cowpox vaccine to Cao Pi.
As for the murders, they were all blamed on Liu Mang.
Many people who did not know the truth began to abuse Liu Mang, but instead praised Cao Pi.
"Zhongda, you did a pretty good job on this matter!"
Cao Pi was satisfied and able to suppress smallpox, which was his destiny as the Wei Dynasty.
"My lord, thank you for your compliment!"
Sima Yi sneered again and again. Now the bad reputation of persecuting the people of the Central Plains has finally been pinned on Liu Mang.
At that time, even if the Han army comes to attack, the people will definitely resist the Han army with the same hatred.
What made Sima Yi even more funny was that it was Liu Mang who clearly saved those untouchables, but they were kept in the dark by him.
This feeling of playing tricks on people's hearts is simply too good to be true!
"Your Majesty! Liu Mang's shrine has appeared in the Taishan area of Xuzhou!"
"Your Majesty! Liaodong Gongsun Kang established Liu Mang's shrine in the city!"
"Your Majesty... Liu Mang's shrine has also appeared in Xinye!"
Cao Pi was a little confused, as the saying goes, justice lies in the heart!
No one can slander the truth, and Sima Yi was also a little angry.
Xuzhou Zang Ba!
Liaodong Gongsun Kang!
Unexpectedly, Liu Mang also sent cowpox vaccines to these people!
The people here were grateful for Liu Mang's righteousness, so they took the initiative to pray for the establishment of an ancestral hall.
And this sudden information, like a few big mouths, slapped Cao Pi in the face.
"I...I also want to give birth to a shrine!"
"I got a prescription for these untouchables, but they didn't even build a shrine for me!"
"I know that these untouchables are all ignorant white-eyed wolves!"
Faced with Cao Pi's rage, the ministers didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Ahem! Liu Changqing, you are going too far!"
"Liu Mang must have done it deliberately, otherwise those untouchables would never build a shrine for him!"
"Bastard Liu Mang! I originally wanted to trap Zang Ba to death and punish Gongsun Kang, but this guy ruined everything!"
The ministers were silent. After Cao Pi vented his anger, he left the hall and returned to the palace.
…
Jingzhou, Xinye.
More than 30,000 refugees looked back reluctantly, while Liu Mang waved to everyone.
"Don't worry if you go to Jiaozhou, there are some of your acquaintances there too!"
"Man Boning and Yu Wenze will both serve as officials in Jiaozhou!"
"Just live a good life when you get here!"
Plop!
More than 30,000 people knelt down and shouted: "We would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for surviving!"
Liu Mang bowed and returned it to the common people.
"I also want to thank you all and welcome to join Dahan!"
