Jinyan helped the coachman unload the things from the horse. He was very happy every time Xiao Ming came over, because every time his boss came over, he would bring a lot of things for him and the guys, including delicious snacks and clothes with good fabrics. Appreciating shoes and hats, because the medicine store is very busy and the owner prepares it very carefully, he doesn't have to spend money to purchase it.
The club that thinks about the guys is the best club in the world.
"How is the production situation in the pharmacy recently?" After putting things away, Xiao Mingcai and Jinyan walked towards the pharmacy. Along the way, they saw many workers working, carrying, sorting, and cutting. It was very busy drying medicinal materials.
"Everything is normal. There are a lot of orders every day. I have added five more assistants this month. They are newly trained apprentices from Guangji Hall." Jinyan consciously lags half a step behind Xiao Ming and replies, while Li Er was looking around. Every time she came, she was very curious, and she didn't listen carefully at all. Among the three of them, she was an outsider, just following Xiao Ming to play.
"Okay, you have to look at the arrangements. You must always pay attention to the quality of the medicines. Outsiders in the pharmacy are not allowed to cooperate with each other. No one except Guangjitang is used." Xiao Ming warned, her pharmacy has never had When recruiting apprentices in the capital, they are all trustworthy apprentices selected from Guangji Hall in Ping'an Town. Now, Master Tang and Master Fang in Guangji Hall not only conduct daily consultations and treatment, but also train apprentices for the drug store, because When he first established the drug store, Xiao Ming gave each of them 10% of the shares, and they all worked hard. After all, because of the huge profit sharing every month, they wanted the drug store to be better than anyone else.
Xiao Ming then asked about the wages, meals and accommodation conditions of the pharmacy clerks, and answered carefully. The clerks were very satisfied, because Xiao Ming was never stingy about wages, and because everyone was far away from the capital, the wages Xiao Ming gave were even higher. Taller.
After getting a satisfactory answer, she went to the production workshop to check the sanitation situation, and after spot-checking the quality of the medicinal materials and finished products, she asked Jinyan to properly inventory the medicinal materials she needed. Jiang Sihai's fleet will come to load the trucks in the evening. Take the road directly north.
It wasn't until afternoon that Xiao Ming left quietly.
As everyone knows, in today's court, above Taichu Hall, the atmosphere is extremely lively.
Above the court hall, unlike the usual stagnant court meetings, today the mood of the civil and military officials was obviously high. Even Lord Jing and Emperor Shen, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, had a long-lost smile on his face. The sickly air that had been permeating his face for a long time was gone.
Yesterday's military information in the northwest has been reported to the Dragon Case. Everyone knows that Shi Tingyu defeated Ashena, occupied Jinwang City, and took advantage of the situation to recover the remaining eight divisions.
This is the opening up of space and the expansion of the borders of the Great Moon Dynasty.
However, someone above the court sang the opposite tune.
A frail man wearing a civil official uniform and a long beard stood up, bent down to salute, and said to Emperor Jinghe who was sitting on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, I think the white jade The general’s move is inappropriate. The foreign barbarians are brave and extremely vindictive. If our army strikes hard, we may suffer severe retaliation.”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the civil and military court looked at him with strange eyes.
Chen Yuan, the second assistant, glanced at this man and shouted coldly: "What do you mean by what Doctor Tian said? Shouldn't our army take advantage of the situation to attack and gather the remaining eight troops to avoid future troubles? Should we allow these vicious people to come again?" Offend me Oyue."
"Master Chen, what you said is wrong! Don't pursue the enemy when you are poor. The terrain in the northwest is complex and the conditions are harsh. If General Bai Yu pursues it rashly, will everything go as planned? Furthermore, everyone in the foreign tribes is armed. If the attacks are continued, wildfires will start a prairie fire, and everyone will suffer in the future. They are not the people in the frontier yet, and because of this war, the national treasury has long been empty, and taxes have increased. Now a large amount of grain and grass baggage must be transported to support them. Where do these come from? Increase taxes and let the people survive. When the time comes, public dissatisfaction will boil. If we fail, we should take advantage of the opportunity of the nine foreign tribes to seek peace, let them pay annual tribute, and end the war, which will be beneficial to us..."
There was a lot of eloquence, but he didn't support fighting again. In his eyes, Shi Tingyu's campaign against the eight foreign tribes took a long time and consumed a lot of money, and he didn't know whether he could win.
If you don't taste the gain, you might as well just accept it when it's good.
The words made sense, and many people lowered their heads in deep thought.
Liu Ce didn't speak, just fighting to himself.
Facing such a pedantic person, Chen Yuan turned blue with anger. He was so stupid from reading that he was a nerd. He didn't want to talk to this fool anymore, so he turned to Jing He and said: "Your Majesty, In this battle, we must support it from top to bottom, even if it is a grain of rice or one person, we must support it to the end and resolutely attack the foreigners to avoid future troubles. This is a good opportunity for our country to expand its borders again. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ce suddenly continued: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chen is right. This is a historic moment. We are opening up new territories and expanding our territory. We must support it to the end. I am willing to donate three thousand taels of family property." Wen Yin supports this war effort."
As soon as he spoke, not only the civil and military officials of the court, but also Chen Yuan were surprised. For a moment, the court was silent. You must know that in every court meeting, no matter what Chen Yuan's suggestion was, Liu Every strategy would have a different or better proposal, and every time he would always take the lead.
This time, same thing.
Chen Yuan was angry in his heart. He had planned to donate money, but Liu Ce took the opportunity to speak. He was once again disqualified, so he quickly realized: "Your Majesty, I am willing to donate five thousand taels of family property." .”
snort! The Liu family, who was born in a commoner's family, was less than three generations rich, so naturally it was not as good as the Chen family, which was known as a scholarly family for a century.
There is no doubt about the background of the Chen family, and he is not afraid of Liu Ce.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are both big and powerful. Shouldn't they be arguing to end this court meeting? How can they get donations? This trend has changed so fast that many people have turned their backs.
One has three thousand, the other has five thousand. What should we do with these people who have nothing to do and live in poverty?
However, the two people with the highest official positions in the court both donated money, and they had no choice but to follow their footsteps, so they jumped out one by one. I had one thousand, he had eight hundred, and he had five hundred, and they donated enthusiastically. , supported the war, but no one dared to go beyond the two chief ministers.
The second assistant dared to confront the first assistant because he had the iron-clad backing of the Chen family! They don't.
After flipping it down, Emperor Jinghe nodded with satisfaction, this is the power of unity, very good.
So he said solemnly: "I am very pleased that the court is united in fighting the war together. I have decreed that from now on, the expenses of the harem will be halved to support the northwest."
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." The ministers knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor."
The emperor had used his own treasury to support it, and these people were even more afraid to speak. Master Tian, who had just jumped out to oppose the war, had long withdrawn and acted like a tortoise.
