Di Renfeng snorted: "As a government official, how can I helplessly watch the people suffer? I will take care of this matter."
Yan Qi asked: "How do you want to manage it?"
Di Renfeng slapped the table: "I want to ask Juadao for instructions first, and then let Juadao give an order to force the Tao family to lower the price of medicines on the grounds of price control."
Yan Qi shook his head: "With all due respect, Jia Dedao will never cooperate with you."
Di Renfeng's eyes widened: "No way, there is such a big problem in people's livelihood. As a governor, how can he just sit back and ignore it?"
Yan Qidao: "Don't believe it? Let's see how Jia Dedao responds to you."
While he was talking, Judd walked in.
As soon as he entered, many officials bowed to him and saluted.
Judd was smiling and chatting cordially.
Finally, he sat on top of Mr. Di, wiping his beard and asked: "Master Di invited me here, what do you mean?"
Di Renfeng said: "Don't you know, Mr. Fu Yin, that great things have happened to the people's livelihood in Jinling? The people are in dire straits and are suffering unspeakably."
Judd's face was solemn: "What exactly?"
Di Renfeng said angrily: "The price of medicine in Jinling has risen sharply. It has increased by as little as five times or as much as ten times than before. It is a sky-high price."
"What? There is such a thing?"
Jia Dedao stood up and said: "As a parent official, how can I just sit back and ignore it? Master Di, how are you going to deal with it?"
Di Renfeng said: "Most of the pharmacies in Jinling belong to the Tao family. Now, we must come to Tao Dongshan and ask clearly."
"What Mr. Di said is absolutely true. The Tao family has gone too far."
Jia Dedao's face was full of justice: "Come here, please go and invite Tao Dongshan here immediately. Master Di and I must ask clearly. People's livelihood is not a trivial matter, how can we let the Tao family do whatever they want?"
A police officer immediately went to invite Tao Dongshan.
Jiade said with anger on his face, "Master Di, if the Tao family is really disturbing people's livelihood, we must take responsibility. How can a major businessman influence people's livelihood?"
"What Jia Fuyin said is absolutely true."
Di Renfeng nodded and whispered to Yan Qi: "Did you see that? Jia Dedao still cares about the people. If people's livelihood is in danger, he will definitely intervene and coordinate."
Yan Qi shook his head: "Listen to his words and watch his actions! Jia Dedao just said a few empty words. That doesn't count. You have to see how he does it."
Di Renfeng disagreed: "Why do you say he is also the governor of Jinling? He dares to do anything random."
Yan Qi ignored Di Renfeng.
This Brother Di is really kind sometimes.
…
Tao Dongshan led a few people and hurried into the hall. He bowed his hands to Jia Dedao and Di Renfeng: "I have met Jia Fuyin, I have met Mr. Di, I have met An Tongpan, my lords, Mr. Tao is polite."
Juddao looked very serious: "Master Tao Er, do you still have time to laugh?"
Tao Dongshan asked: "Why did Jia Fuyin say that? Why is his expression so serious? Did the Tao family commit something?"
"How dare you pretend to be stupid."
Judd banged the table and asked: "Why did the price of medicine in Jinling rise so much? Why did your Tao family do this? We must explain it clearly."
Tao Dongshan was stunned for a moment: "Oh, it turns out it's because of the price of the medicine."
Di Renfeng finally couldn't help it, stood up, and asked Tao Dongshan angrily: "Don't think this is a trivial matter. The price of medicine has soared. It is so high that it is so outrageous that it is almost unimaginable. Not to mention the poor people, we are scholars. It is also unbearable. Tao Er, the leader of the family, must give us a reasonable explanation today in front of all officials and representatives."
Tao Dongshan smiled at Di Renfeng. Although his attitude was kind, his eyes showed disdain: "Master Di, why are you so excited?"
Di Renfeng shouted: "It concerns people's livelihood, how can we be calm?"
The representatives also asked loudly.
"Master Tao Er, your Tao family looks too ugly. The price of medicine is so high, who can afford it?"
"Does this mean that people who don't have money have to endure it when they get sick? If they survive, they will be considered lucky, but if they don't survive, they will die?"
"The Tao family has a monopoly on the Jinling market. By doing such an immoral thing, the Tao family's good fortune will be ruined."
…
Tao Dongshan was very calm and at ease.
Seeing everyone's angry looks, he even wanted to laugh.
When he met Yan Qi's eyes, an unknown fire surged in his heart.
A few days ago, Yan Qi was humiliated quite a lot.
Moreover, Tao Ping was so stimulated that he did not dare to go out.
Every time I was defeated by Yan Qi, I felt an indescribable feeling of frustration.
Yan Qi was calm and composed: "Master Tao Er doesn't answer everyone's questions. Why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong with my face?"
"snort!"
Tao Dongshan snorted awkwardly, turned his head away from Yan Qi, and then became more natural, waving to everyone: "My lords and friends, you have really misunderstood the Tao family, our Tao family It’s also hard to talk about.”
Judd waved his hand: "If you have any pain, you might as well say it in public."
Tao Dongshan's face was full of sorrow: "Jia Fuyin, Master Di, An Tongpan, my lords, you don't know something. The reason why the Tao family raised the price is entirely due to market tension, not the Tao family's subjective actions. In other words , the Tao family also suffered greatly."
Judd frowned and asked, "The Tao family has also suffered greatly? Tell me clearly."
Tao Dongshan sighed: "The main reason is that the time and place are favorable. Today, the production of medicinal materials has been greatly reduced, or even the harvest has stopped. The farmers have collectively raised the prices. We, the Tao family, have no choice but to buy at high prices and sell at high prices."
"This is not my nonsense. Look, these are representatives of pharmaceutical farmers. Let them come forward and speak out."
Tao Dongshan winked at several drug farmers.
The drug farmer hesitated for a moment and then also 'complained'.
"My lords, we are all herb farmers. Today there was a severe drought, and the herbs were almost extinct. Then there was a flood, which drowned many herbs. The production was severely reduced. We, the herb farmers, spent a lot of effort to keep our crops. The last bit of fruit."
"We are also feeling miserable. We have invested a lot in medicine and farmers, and we have spent a lot of money. However, natural disasters have resulted in huge losses. However, we have wives and children waiting to be fed, so we have to live, right?"
"Yes, our medicinal materials are a little more expensive, but after all, we can still save some medicinal materials. If we don't sell medicinal materials, people will not be able to buy medicinal materials when they get sick."
…
"this……"
After hearing the drug farmers show up and speak, all the adults and representatives were speechless.
Di Renfeng was also very embarrassed: "The production of medicinal materials has been reduced, but... is it true?"
"How dare you lie?"
Tao Dongshan's face was full of justice: "Master Di, our Tao family is also a responsible businessman, how can we lie casually? Isn't that the most ridiculous thing in the world? Moreover, these simple farmers have come forward to speak out, and Master Di is still suspicious in every possible way. I, I...I am really heartbroken."
Di Renfeng rolled his eyes angrily.
This guy actually hit me with a rake, which made me angry.
