Si Ning thought of Qian Aiyuan and wondered how she was doing now.
Since the last time, she has not seen the British princess, nor Qian Eiyuan.
I was surprised to hear Wang Huiming suddenly.
"You know him?"
"I've met his wife several times. She's a very kind person."
Si Ning had a very good impression of Qian Aiyuan. She was not as observant as those ladies in the world. She was just pressed a little tight.
"British Catholics educate women well."
Lu Hanxiao also spoke highly of Qian Aiyuan, and Si Ning nodded.
"After I take over the Ministry of War, I will be very busy. If you need anything, ask Qiu Ju to come to me."
"Okay, I understand. You need to pay more attention to this epidemic. I don't think it's a good start."
Lu Hanxiao trusted Si Ning's medical skills and took what she said to heart.
The next day, he deliberately placed his own people in the team that Wang Huiming took to the border. He wanted to know all the conditions at the border.
Because he knew the military report in advance, Si Ning went to the medical clinic the next day.
"Doctor Sun, do you have access to a medicinal herb shop?"
When asked suddenly, Sun Yifan was a little confused.
"What happened?"
"No, I just want to stock up on some medicine."
Ren Zhongyuan walked out of the inner hall and happened to hear Si Ning's words with a confused look on his face.
“There’s no war and there’s no cholera, so why should we stockpile medicine?”
Si Ning looked at him and said, "Be prepared, I want to stock up on some first."
Seeing that Si Ning persisted, the two said nothing more.
They were not used to refuting Si Ning, and Si Ning's words were almost like an imperial edict to them.
"What medicine do you want to stock up on?"
"Digupi."
Both of them were shocked, "I don't use this medicine very much, so why would I stock up on it? Prunella vulgaris is in short supply this year, so it would be better to stock up on that one."
The winter in Beijing is wet and cold, especially this year. Everyone will prescribe some prescriptions to remove dampness and cold, and the medicine Prunella vulgaris is indispensable in them.
Various medical clinics and medicine shops smelled the profits and began to hoard them one after another.
"A few days ago, a shopkeeper I knew well stocked up on some prunella vulgaris and turned around and made two hundred taels..."
Sun Yifan is still trying to persuade Si Ning. Si Ning lives in the inner house and has great medical skills, but he may not understand the market of medicinal materials.
It wasn't that he was afraid of losing money, he just didn't want Si Ning to be confused and forced to make incorrect choices.
"Just stock up on bones and skin." Si Ning insisted.
Seeing this, Sun Yifan nodded without further persuasion.
"Okay, I'll do it."
"Not only the Digupi from the capital, I also want the Digupi from nearby."
Si Ning needs to stock up on a large amount of goods. Once the epidemic cannot be controlled and spreads quickly, the capital may not be spared.
Si Ning thought about it all night yesterday, and finally figured out why the border epidemic sounded so familiar. Wasn't it what she had experienced in her previous life?
The modern era she lived in also experienced a catastrophe, and the epidemic killed many people.
Si Ning participated in the research at that time and also made a special medicine.
Later, when the epidemic ended, Si Ning made an exception and became a military doctor because of his contribution.
In the early stages of the epidemic's spread, as reported by military reports, it was dominated by high fever, and soon everyone died.
But Si Ning didn't know whether it was the same virus as the epidemic in the previous life. He would have to go to the scene to find out.
Si Ning was thinking of going to the border, but this matter had to be considered in the long term.
If it is confirmed that the epidemic is one kind, Digupi will be one of the most important medicines.
Because Digupi is rarely used as medicine, the output is also low, so it must be stocked up in advance.
"Dr. Sun, the hospital has recently been handed over to Mr. Ren. Please help me stock up on medicines."
Sun Yifan still didn't understand what Si Ning was trying to do, but he didn't hesitate.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Si Ning took out several banknotes from his sleeves, as many as 20,000 taels.
Sun Yifan was startled and did not dare to accept it.
"Miss Ning, this can't be done. I saved the money."
"I initiated this matter. Naturally, I will bear all the risks. Just do it. I still have the money."
The emperor's reward was a gift from the emperor, and Si Ning could not sell it, but the gold and silver jewelry he had collected in the past were all sold by Si Ning into money.
Compared to those dead things, silver was more important to Si Ning.
Sun Yifan took the money from Si Ning and went to the medicine shop to start stocking up on medicine.
Each medicinal material shop in Digupi only stocked a small quantity, and Sun Yifan only collected a little bit after visiting several.
But the news that he wanted to take over his bones spread like wildfire, and even reached the ears of Li Dawei from the probiotic medical clinic across the street.
After the disastrous defeat against Si Ning last time, Li Dawei stopped looking for trouble in Yuan'an.
He knew that he was no match for Si Ning. He felt that Si Ning was a bit evil and should stay away.
He did not provoke Si Ning, but he did not give up monitoring Yuan'an's every move.
He heard that Sun Yifan was buying bones and skins everywhere, and was very surprised.
"Digupi is not an important medicine, why should we stock up on this medicine?"
"Who knew, Prunella vulgaris is in even greater demand now, and our medical clinic has stocked up on it. You, the shopkeeper, are just waiting to make a fortune."
Li Dawei's cronies laughed at Yuan'an's stupidity and praised Li Dawei.
Li Dawei was not as proud as before, but instead frowned tightly.
"Go and ask where else in the capital there is bone skin, and if there is any way to get some."
He always felt that Si Ning must know something, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune.
Seeing what he said, the cronies felt that their shopkeeper was also crazy. How could he care about those idiots across from him?
If they followed them and hoarded the junk and smashed it into their hands, wouldn't their medical clinic be unable to open?
But if all they stock up on is Prunella vulgaris and they make a lot of money, then their rewards will also be quite large.
The confidants did not dare to refute Li Dawei, but they made their calculations in their hearts.
He promised Li Dawei on the surface, but he didn't really inquire. He secretly used the money in the store to stock up on some prunella vulgaris, waiting to make a big profit.
Li Dawei didn't know the little moves of the people below him, so he was worried and went to find his master.
After his last accident, Zhou Zhengsheng didn't see him very much.
Li Dawei naturally knew that his master was afraid of being implicated by him, but he knew that his master was reluctant to part with the benefits that Yisheng had brought to him.
He went to see Zhou Zhengsheng, and as he expected, Zhou Zhengsheng also met him.
"What's the matter?"
It's just that his attitude is not as warm as before. After all, Li Dawei has annoyed Lu Hanxiao, and the Yisheng Medical Clinic is not as able to make money as before, so Zhou Zhengsheng doesn't have a good look on his face.
Li Dawei didn't care and only told Zhou Zhengsheng about Sun Yifan's crazy hoarding of medicines.
"Master, when the market for Prunella Vulgaris was good, Si Ning didn't stock up on it. Instead, he asked Sun Yifan to stock up on bones and skin. Why is that?"
"It's not summer, why should we stock up on ground bones?"
Zhou Zhengsheng didn't understand either, but when he heard that it was Si Ning who wanted to stock up, he still paid attention.
