"You?" Hearing this, even Yin Man, who is usually weak, couldn't help but get angry, "Zongzheng, don't talk nonsense. How can Li Zhao's medicine be a fooling medicine?"
"I won't let him in anyway." Zong Zheng was determined.
Yin Man is anxious.
"Did Li Zhao send someone here? Let him come in!" At this time, the emperor's voice came from the palace, sounding a little weak.
"promise!"
Zong Zheng glared at Feng Quji and Yin Man angrily. He was extremely angry. It was these two people who were messing around and alerted the emperor.
However, now that the emperor knows it, can he refute it? He could only agree and let Ah Chao in.
Ah Chao walked in quickly, and after saluting, he quietly looked at him from the corner of his eye.
The emperor sat weakly on the bed, with a man dressed as an imperial doctor standing next to him, and there were attendants on both sides.
At this moment, a person was kneeling nervously in front of the emperor. He was dressed as a doctor and was holding a newly prescribed prescription in his hand, handing it over respectfully.
The imperial doctor was Xia Wuji. He took the prescription and read it carefully.
"How is it?" Ying Zheng asked weakly.
After a few breaths, Xia Wuji shook his head and said, "This recipe will take at least four days."
"What?" Although Ying Zheng was angry, he couldn't help but said, "Quack doctors, a bunch of quack doctors, there is no doctor in our country!"
"Drag out!"
"No!" The guards came in and immediately dragged the doctor away. This was already the ninth time, and none of the prescriptions he prescribed satisfied the emperor.
"Are you the one Li Zhao sent here to deliver medicine to me?" After Ying Zheng vented his anger, his eyes fell on Ah Chao who was kneeling beside the door with his head lowered and not daring to open the door.
Ah Chao said quickly: "Yes! Master"
"Okay." Ying Zheng showed a rare smile and interrupted Ah Chao, "Young man Li Zhao is interested, please give me the medicine."
"No!" Ah Chao knelt and moved his knees, holding his hands high, with his belly in the palm of his hand.
"What is this?" Xia Wuji came over and was about to reach out and take the thing in A Chao's hand, but hesitated.
This thing looks very strange. It is relatively large and white in color. It does not look like medicine at all.
Also, what they offered was a prescription, but what this guy got was something like this. It was a bit different. Could it be medicine? Could it be that you got it by fooling yourself? He has an extra eye.
"This is a medicine for dysentery!"
"Oh! How to swallow it?"
Ah Chao knew that the imperial doctor had not discovered this mechanism, so he immediately unscrewed the seal and said respectfully: "The medicine is inside. Swallow five pills at a time, three times a day, and it will be effective."
"Is this the thing? Will it be effective three times a day?" Xia Wuji took the potion, poured out the small white particles inside, and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, that's what the young master said."
"Oh!" Xia Wuji looked at it carefully and licked it on his tongue.
The taste is slightly bitter and the smell is astringent. It is undoubtedly made from medicinal materials. However, except for the color and size, this substance is very similar to an elixir. Could it be an elixir?
He actually hates elixirs. He has warned the emperor many times before not to be obsessed with elixirs. It's just that the emperor is too obsessed with them and doesn't listen to his advice.
"Fang Daddy, how are you?" Ying Zheng struggled to stand up from the couch.
Fang's father, Xia Wuji, is Afang's father. Afang is the woman Ying Zheng loves most, and he has been searching for her for eighteen years to no avail.
Since Afang disappeared, he regarded Xia Wuji as his father-in-law, and Fang dad became a direct title instead of a title of monarch and minister.
It was at this stop that what he didn't notice was that something he had placed on his body suddenly fell down. The thing rolled gurglingly and rolled to Ah Chao's side.
Ah Chao looked at it and subconsciously picked it up. Just as he was about to send it to His Majesty, he was suddenly startled.
This is a jade pendant, with the word "zheng" carved on it. The carving is exquisite, the fine lines are as delicate as a mosquito, and the beauty of jade should never be found in the mortal world.
This is a very peculiar jade pendant. You can tell at a glance that it is very precious and rare in the world.
"How come I've seen it somewhere?" Ah Chao glanced at the jade pendant. He always felt familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it before. However, this was His Majesty's jade pendant. He didn't dare to neglect it and quickly moved his knees. Passed it over.
Ying Zheng smiled, took it, and nodded to Ah Chao, "Not bad boy, okay! Get up! We should have met before, so there is no need to be so restrained."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ah Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and his depressed heart could relax a little. Of course, he had met Your Majesty more than once, but Your Majesty didn't pay attention to him.
What Ying Zheng didn't notice was that Xia Wuji captured the change in Ah Chao's expression the moment he picked up the jade pendant. He was slightly shocked, but he concealed it well.
"I have never seen this thing before. I don't know how effective it is." Xia Wuji replied. He wanted to say that this thing is not good, but when he saw His Majesty's interest, he gave up!
Indeed, this thing was so wonderful that he couldn't see the details. He could only say this.
"No problem, this was made by Li Zhao, there should be no problem." Ying Zheng waved his hand, he still believed in Li Zhao, "Bring it to me, I want to take it."
"Nuo!" Xia Wuji handed over the dun.
Ying Zheng took it, poured out five pills out of curiosity, glanced at it and swallowed it without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you need to drink it with soup." Ah Chao reminded in a low voice.
Soup is boiled water.
"Soup? Are you so particular?" Ying Zheng was surprised, but he didn't question it, so he asked the waiter to bring the soup and drank it.
Xia Wuji stood aside without saying a word, but his brows furrowed. This expression was noticed by Ying Zheng.
Things passed like this, Ying Zheng rewarded A Chao, and A Chao left.
After the palace calmed down, Ying Zheng glanced at Xia Wuji. This old man who had passed his age sighed especially.
"Dad Fang, are you worried about Li Zhao's medicine?" Ying Zheng knew Xia Wuji well and knew the reason why he frowned just now.
Xia Wuji cupped his hands and said, "Indeed, this medicine has never been heard of before, and it is even more strange. I am afraid of it."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Fang Dad has filtered it out. I am still reassured about Li Zhaozhi's medical skills. Of course, I am even more reassured about his character."
"Do you know who saved me last time when I was critically ill? It was Li Zhaoye."
Indeed, Xia Wuqie was not in the palace when he was critically ill after swallowing the elixir last time. In fact, he would go out for a period of time every once in a while.
Ying Zheng also knew the reason for his going out, so he naturally let him go.
So he didn't know what happened last time.
"Li Zhao? Is his medical skill really so wonderful?" Xia Wuji expressed doubts.
"Of course! I'm afraid Katsunobo-daddy."
"The victorious minister?" Xia Wuji has studied medicine all his life. Although he is not as famous as the great doctor Bian Que, he still stands at the pinnacle of medicine.
Otherwise, he would not have become the imperial physician.
This level is not as good as that of a dime-a-dozen boy. He is somewhat doubtful of the emperor's statement.
"Father doesn't believe it?" Ying Zheng could see Xia Wuji's thoughts.
"Don't dare."
Although Xia Wuji said "I don't dare", Ying Zheng knew that he was not convinced, so he could only smile and said softly: "You said that it will take at least three days for me to recover after taking your prescription. Li Zhao's medicine It only takes one day and we will know tomorrow, so Fang Daddy might as well take a look tomorrow."
"Maybe then you will know the depth of Li Zhao."
Xia Wuji nodded and stopped talking.
In Chang'an Township, an uninvited guest came, namely Gao Qiu.
Gao Qiu was originally a small official, but when he was on duty, he was surprised when he heard that rice in Chang'an Township could produce sixteen dan per mu.
Since the last time my son Gao Fugui made a fortune by buying back paper, many people knew about it. Naturally, his status among his colleagues has skyrocketed. People have also drifted away, and his thoughts have also undergone subtle changes.
These changes came about after my son made money by buying paper. He often said that this is a business opportunity. No matter what it is, the main thing is to seize the business opportunity and you can make a lot of money. Of course, you have to spend a lot of money or even all your family wealth.
If it were before, he would definitely beat his son when he heard this, but not now, he is civilized.
He believed in his son and remembered these words.
No, when I learned that there was such high-quality rice in Chang'an Township, I came quietly.
Since Li Zhao came from the East Tour, he had not been to the military camp yet.
In fact, with Li Jinong joining, he would take care of all the big and small things, and Li Zhao would be much more free. As a general with a thousand men, oh no, a general, he just doesn't have the strength of a general.
It is rare to ask about the affairs of the military camp, but one must go and take a look, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers.
Li Jinong had already noticed someone sneaking around outside the manor, looking like a thief, so he ordered someone to stop him.
"Master Li, you have misunderstood. I am Gao Qiu, a colleague of General Li, and I am here to visit." Seeing the menacing appearance of the slave, Gao Qiu quickly explained with a smile on his face.
"Oh! Zhao'er's colleague? Is the minister also a member of the army?" Li Jinong was suspicious when he saw that Gao Qiu looked weak and didn't look like a member of the army.
Gao Qiu laughed and said, "I'm just a colleague, working in the same court. I'm just a small official. I can't compare with General Li, let alone be called a minister."
He is still self-aware.
After hearing that Gao Qiu was a minor official, Li Jinong's attitude immediately changed. He became a bit old-fashioned and raised his arrogance. There is no way, now Chang'an Township is the place where the emperor personally visits. As the master of Chang'an Township, he naturally cannot be groveling, even if he is just a commoner.
What's more, his nephew is still the chief general and a big shot in the army.
"In that case, what are you doing here?"
He cannot afford to fawn over a small official.
Gao Qiu was extremely embarrassed, but also tactful. He quickly approached Li Jinong and lowered his voice and said, "Come and negotiate a deal with General Li."
"Buy or sell?"
This is a business that comes to your door. Well, Chang'an Township has a big business, so it's not surprising that business comes to your door. Especially for paper, there are many people who secretly come to ask for money.
Li Jinong immediately changed his smile and became enthusiastic towards Gao Qiu, "What kind of deal?"
"I heard that the rice yield in Chang'an Township can reach sixteen dan per mu, but is this true?" Gao Qiu's voice was lowered, as if he was afraid of being seen.
It's not surprising that he is like this. If the government suppresses business, if anyone knows that he is doing business in a big way, the consequences will be disastrous.
Of course Li Jinong understood, and he kept his voice as low as possible and stepped back.
"Of course, the rice from Chang'an Township is the best." Li Jinong was quite proud.
"Is there more?"
"Of course! What about the yield of several acres of land?"
Gao Qiu suppressed his excitement and said impatiently: "How about buying them all for me? I'll pay a high price." He was afraid that Li Jinong would disagree, so he continued, "The price is twice as high as the market price."
Li Jinong was shocked. The price was twice as high as the market price? It seems very tempting. You know, although the yield of this rice is high, it is almost the same as ordinary rice. The price is very high when it is twice as high.
On the surface he was calm, but on the inside he was extremely happy.
Since his nephew took out a large amount of rice seeds from somewhere and planted them, Huang Huazhan was left. He was planning to sell the rice, but he never thought that a big enemy would come to visit and he seemed so urgent.
It's really a person's luck that can't be stopped.
Just as he was about to say, "It can be discussed," he heard Gao Qiu's urgent voice.
"Brother Li, the price can still be negotiated." Seeing Li Jinong's silence, Gao Qiu thought that he looked down on his price, so he said quickly.
"Oh!" Li Jinong was even more surprised. The price, which is twice as high as the market price, can still be negotiated. Is this rice so popular?
"How about one and a half times? Brother Li, you also know the current food market. The prices of all food have increased. One and a half times is already very high."
Yes, for some unknown reason, the price of food has risen sharply. He is very cruel to offer such a high price.
"Deal." Li Jinong couldn't believe his ears. This man actually paid one and a half times more than the market price to buy his rice. He is really stupid and has a lot of money. How could he refuse to give him money? Gao Qiu agreed without giving him any room to regret.
When Gao Qiu heard this, he couldn't bear it. He seemed to have been deceived. Was this guy trying to deceive him?
"The premise is that they must all be sold to me." Gao Qiu was inspired by his son and learned from his son's operation. He bought them all and waited for the price to rise.
Business opportunities are about grabbing something for the first time and not letting it go.
Such rice must be a business opportunity.
"All?" Li Jinong smiled inwardly. They are all the best. If you sell them all, the price is still one and a half times, which is a huge sum!
You know, his nephew went crazy and suddenly spent millions of money. Now he is short of money. Gao Qiu really gave him a pillow while he was dozing off.
"good!"
Hearing that Li Jinong agreed, Gao Qiu felt a heartache, but he soon became happy when he thought about the business opportunities he had discovered.
"And that fertilizer, how much is left?" Gao Qiu asked again.
Li Jinong's eyes lit up. No, the man who gave the money must also be interested in the fertilizer. He quickly said: "You can have as much as you want."
Li Jinong is not lying. The current production capacity of the fertilizer workshop is enough to handle one person's business.
"Okay, just buy me 10,000 stones per month, price-wise."
When Li Jinong heard this, the flower in his heart began to grow, and he was extremely happy. Ten thousand shi per month? There are such fools, is this thing worth anything? It's just a smelly thing that he has always disliked? After all, it can't make money, and it doesn't seem to be of much use. It just irritates people.
hey-hey! If he had known that this was the reason why hybrid rice could achieve a yield of sixteen stones per mu, he might not have said this. Unfortunately, he arrived too late and did not discover the value of fertilizer.
But the price actually cost 10,000 dan per month, and when they discussed the price, he found that he couldn't keep up with Gao Qiu's pace.
Of course, he couldn't let go of the rich man who came to his door like this.
"The price is easy to say, just one and a half liang per stone!" Li Jinong tried to keep it as low as possible. He was really afraid that Gao Qiu would regret it, but Gao Qiu listened and immediately agreed.
In this way, Li Jinong bought Huanghua Zhandu and made a lot of money. Gao Qiu also placed a deposit and agreed on the delivery time.
