There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 678
[Chapter 678, Loyalty Archway]
was very happy all the way back to Taohua Village because of the invitation of Ge Xun to the Loyalty Archway.
Looking at the cheerful apprentice, Gu Jian was quite speechless, but he still agreed with this girl’s vision. He had communicated with Ge Xun in the past few days, and this person did have some attainments in medical skills.
He was very aware of the effect of a good doctor on the wounded. When Ye Yang went to northern Xinjiang, he was not less worried. Sending the person there, with him to take care of him, he and his disciples could feel at ease.
At the beginning of March, the group returned to Taohua Village. As soon as they came back, Daohua took Ge Xun to visit her pharmacy.
The pharmacy was newly built. With the addition of more pharmaceutical equipment, Gu Jian’s pharmacy became a bit small, and Daohua built a large pharmacy in Zhuangzi.
Seeing that the pharmacy was full of glass instruments that he had never seen before, Ge Xun couldn’t see it: “Miss Yan, all the medicines you gave me before were made from these things?”
Daohua smiled and nodded: “Yes, although there are many types of these instruments, they are actually not complicated to use, just look at them more. The real difficulty is to research out the formula of the medicine through experiments.”
Because at the end of March The Sun family’s fleet was going to the north, and Daohua also wanted Ge Xun to go to northern Xinjiang earlier, so she told him to make preparations, and then went to the pharmacy to make medicines. She wanted to make more medicines for her. Xiao Yeyang and his two elder brothers sent it.
At the same time, the capital, the imperial palace.
Because the eight kings fled to northern Xinjiang and captured three border cities successively. Even though Xia Teng’s army had captured one city later, there were still two cities in the hands of the eight kings. So stalemate down.
During this period of time, there was no major war in northern Xinjiang, but small battles continued.
It is not true that the hundreds of thousands of troops at the border are withdrawn, and it is not true if they do not withdraw.
The emperor looked at the frontier battle report angrily, and threw the booklet to the ground angrily.
Several officials who were called to discuss the matter all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
The intention of the Eight Kings is obvious, just to delay the time. The hundreds of thousands of troops consume an astronomical amount of food every day. After a long time, the court will definitely not be able to support it.
The air pressure in the hall was very low, and finally Chief Assistant Yang Chenghua stood up bravely and said, “Your Majesty, the provinces collected food last year, and the soldiers are not short of food for the time being, but after the battles, many soldiers were injured. Xinjiang urgently needs medicinal materials to save lives.” The
emperor rubbed his swollen forehead, and the food was collected, but medicinal materials are precious and rare, and there are not many people who grow them. He just wanted to order collection, but he might not be able to collect much.
Moreover, the price of medicine is much more expensive than food.
Although the national treasury has been filled a lot in the past two years because of the two gold mines discovered by the Ningmen Mansion, the war has consumed too much and there is not much left in the treasury now, so it is impossible to use it all to buy medicinal materials.
“What good ideas do you have?”
Yang Chenghua knew that the treasury was not abundant, and he also understood what the emperor meant. He looked at the silent colleagues and sighed. This time he was going to be a villain again. : “Your Majesty, when the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible. I think that drug dealers can be encouraged to donate.”
When the news spread, he was afraid that he would be hated to death by all the drug dealers.
Hearing this, the emperor drooped his eyes and murmured, the method is a good one, but the major drug dealers are backed by aristocratic families, it is very slippery, and may not receive much medicinal materials in the end.
Less, less, is better than nothing.
The emperor originally wanted to assign Jiang Shizi of Cheng’en Duke’s Mansion to do this. The Jiang family is the head of the family. If the Jiang family came forward, other families would give some face.
However, when he went to court the next day, Shizi Jiang, who received the news in advance, asked for sick leave.
The emperor looked at the empty seat where Jiang Zhengqing should have been standing, and his dissatisfaction with the Jiang family reached its peak.
In these years, the Jiang family has enjoyed the supreme honor brought by the emperor’s uncle’s family, but they have never fulfilled the corresponding obligations. On the contrary, they have often confronted him and constrained him everywhere.
Well, very good!
In the end, the emperor weighed it and appointed Wu Jingyi from the Governor’s Mansion of the Five Armies to handle the matter.
Because of Dongli and Caiju, Gu Jian knew the news about the capital.
Dongli looked at Gu Jian hesitantly, but finally couldn’t help but said: “Old master, the soldiers in northern Xinjiang are in urgent need of medicinal materials, that…that”
Gu Jian raised his eyes and glanced at him: “What is that? ”
Dong Li bit the bullet and said: “Miss Yan seems to have a lot of medicinal materials in her hand.” Having said that, he dared not say anything.
The old man is very protective of the calf, Miss Xiao Xiangyan’s things are courting death!
Gu Jian snorted and didn’t say anything, but after Dao Hua sent Ge Xun’s uncle and nephew to the northern border ship, he still brought up the matter unintentionally.
As for whether the apprentice donated or not, he had no intention of interfering at all.
After Daohua knew about it, her mind turned, and she looked at Gu Jian with a little excitement: “Master, I heard that donating things to the court will be personally commended by the emperor. Is this true?
” Glancing at his apprentice, he asked strangely, “You want to be commended by the emperor so much?”
Daohua nodded, “Of course.” He paused, “You also know that the Yan family has no background, and it is acceptable to receive the emperor’s commendation.” Let’s raise the reputation of the Yan family among the people and officials.”
Gu Jian understood what his apprentice meant, and he was not worried about telling Ye Yang about his apprentice to be honest. The difference is another matter, if the gap between the two can be narrowed, that would be the best.
Needless to say, raising one’s reputation is really the fastest shortcut.
“You have done something beneficial to the imperial court, so you will naturally be commended.”
Daohua asked again: “Master, how much do you think I should donate? It is best to let the emperor reward the Yan family with a memorial archway.” Seed!” She was afraid it would be useless for such a small praise.
Hearing this, Dongli and Caiju both looked over.
The archway is not an ordinary reward, Miss Yan really dared to speak.
Gu Jian looked at his apprentice silently, and asked after a long while, “How much can you donate?”
Dao Hua did some calculations silently, and stretched out his hands to gesture the word ‘two’.
Before Gu Jian could answer, Dongli shook his head first and said, “Twenty thousand stones are too little, so we can’t get the imperial memorial archway.”
Daohua squinted at him: “Who do you look down on? What is twenty thousand stones? One hundred thousand stones.” Then, he looked at Gu Jian, “Master, is it enough? If not, I can add some food.”
Gu Jian looked at Daohua dumbly, took a deep breath, and showed doubts Asked: “Do you really have 200,000 shi of medicinal materials?”
Daohua nodded: “Of course, there are all kinds of commonly used medicines. Is it enough? If not?”
Gu Jian cut off Daohua’s words directly. My heart couldn’t take it anymore: “Enough.”
Dao Hua looked happy, and said quickly, “Then I’ll go and tell Yan Shouhou to prepare the medicinal materials!”
Looking at the apprentice who was running away, Gu Jian looked at Dong who hadn’t recovered yet. Li and Caiju: “This time I will write a letter to Xiao Wu myself.”
With 200,000 shi of medicinal materials, Xiao Wu must give the Yan family a memorial archway.
Dongli used the method of urgent summons, and Gu Jian’s letter arrived at the emperor’s case a few days later.
Seeing the Yan family donating 200,000 shi of medicinal materials, the emperor stood up abruptly, startling Eunuch An and Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi who came to discuss state affairs.
The emperor walked around several times excitedly, and then slowly calmed down.
His uncle was indeed his lucky star. Wu Jingyi had raised for so long before he received tens of thousands of stones of medicinal materials. As soon as he made a move, his uncle gave him two hundred thousand stones.
As for the Yan family who donated medicinal materials, the
200,000 shi medicinal materials were donated when the imperial court urgently needed them. Even if my uncle didn’t mention it, he would reward them well.
The emperor sat back on the throne again, looked at Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi and said, “Yan Zhigao, the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, donated 200,000 shi of medicinal materials. Tell me, how should I reward him?”
Hearing this, Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi first Unexpectedly, his face was filled with joy.
With these 200,000 shi of medicinal materials, the medical needs of border officers and soldiers can be solved.
The emperor didn’t wait for the two of them to answer, he asked Eunuch An to prepare a pen and ink, and then wrote the word loyalty: “The Yan family donated medicinal materials when the court was in trouble. It is the family of loyalty, and a memorial archway for loyalty is specially given.”
