He had already researched a prescription that could cure the plague, and most of the prescriptions were ordinary medicinal materials, but in today's Yongzhou City, even ordinary medicinal materials are not something that ordinary people can use.

In a word, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Even if Chu Ci was Hua Tuo alive, it would be impossible to cure the plague in Yongzhou City without medicinal materials.

"Dad, don't worry. Chu Xiaoxiao said directly without thinking about it: "The last warning has been given to them, and these people still don't know how to stop, so don't blame me for letting them spit out everything they swallowed before!"

Chu Ci was taken aback by Chu Xiaoxiao's sudden ruthlessness, and was stunned for a long time before he hurriedly said, "Xiaoxiao, what do you want to do?"

Chu Xiaoxiao snorted lightly, and then helped Chu Ci to sit down, "Dad, you don't have to worry about it, I have a way." ”

Since they beat the snake to an inch, then don't blame her for letting them spit it out all they swallowed!

Three days later, the county lord of Huaiyang suddenly sent a post to invite the wealthy merchants in the city to come to the Taishou Mansion to attend a banquet.

The banquet prepared by Chu Xiaoxiao was not in the post house, but in the Taishou Mansion.

Yongzhou Taishou Lin Xie was a lot more honest after being whipped by Sun Xuening before, even if Sun Xuening was in charge of organizing a banquet in his mansion, he didn't dare to say anything.

Early this morning, Sun Xuening asked the Imperial Forest Army to go door to door to "invite" those wealthy businessmen who did not want to show their faces.

This time, His Majesty attaches great importance to the epidemic situation in Yongzhou, and in addition to the powerless imperial doctor, there are also 2,000 imperial forest troops.

Those rich merchants have had a lot of dealings with the defenders and officials of Yongzhou, and let these people invite them may not be able to invite people over, but the Imperial Forest Army is different, the Royal Forest Army is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor on weekdays, and will never give face to these rich businessmen.

At the same time, in the study of the main courtyard of the Taishou Mansion.

Lin Xie was lying on the chaise longue with a gloomy face, and the person standing in front of him was the housekeeper in the house.

After being whipped by Chu Xiaoxiao before, Lin Xie didn't show up again, but it was just a strong method that he was afraid of Chu Xiaoxiao, and he still hated Chu Xiaoxiao very much in his heart.

"The county lord of Huaiyang has invited all those people over?" Lin Xie looked at the housekeeper in the mansion and said in an unclear tone.

Hearing this, the housekeeper hurriedly said: "Hey, master, where is the county lord of Huaiyang going to invite, it is clear that he is going to arrest people, after today, those people are afraid that they will hate the county lord of Huaiyang to death." ”

"Hmph. Lin Xie snorted heavily, and then accidentally pulled the wound on his body, and after a gasp, his face became more and more resentful, "In the end, she is still a little girl, she is too young." ”

Hearing Lin Xie's words, the housekeeper thought for a while, and then said tentatively: "Master, do we want to ......?"

"No, I don't. Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Lin Xie waved his hand, and said with a gloomy look: "We don't have to do anything, the girl surnamed Chu has already killed herself, if those rich businessmen are really so easy to deal with, Yongzhou is so far where it is now?!"

After saying that, the housekeeper hurriedly flattered: "Yes, the master is wise." ”

In the main hall of the Taishou Mansion, all the wealthy merchants who are still in Yongzhou City have been invited by the Imperial Forest Army sent out by Chu Xiaoxiao, a total of thirty-seven.

There are five or six of these wealthy businessmen, all of whom are tycoons from the northwest.

Naturally, these are not the only wealthy businessmen in Yongzhou City, and the reason why Chu Xiaoxiao came over is because they are all involved in raising the price of medicine.

The west of Izumo Province faces the western regions, and compared to the southwest, which is said to be "difficult to get to the blue sky", the northwest is the main road for business circles, so it is also extraordinarily rich merchants.

The annual tax revenue in the northwest is even comparable to that of the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a good place if it is not for the fact that the people are not rich.

However, from Chu Xiaoxiao's modern point of view, although these wealthy businessmen seem to drive the economy of Izumo Province, they actually have no effect, but they are taking advantage of the fire to rob at this juncture!

There was silence at the banquet, after all, there was a plague in Yongzhou City now, and Chu Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't arrange any singing and dancing to cheer up, and even the wine and food at the banquet seemed very simple.

These wealthy businessmen are all pampered characters on weekdays, so the banquet has already begun for a quarter of an hour, and except for Chu Xiaoxiao, no one has moved chopsticks.

"Ladies and gentlemen. At this moment, Chu Xiaoxiao stood up, holding a glass of wine in her hand and said to the many wealthy businessmen in the hall: "Thank you for your high righteousness, I would like to give you a glass here." ”

After speaking, Chu Xiaoxiao directly drank all the wine glasses in her hand, turned the wine glass in her hand upside down, and looked at the rich businessmen with a smile.

The faces of everyone in the hall are not good-looking, after all, these people have been showing off their power and prestige in Yongzhou for so many years, and even the parents and officials in Yongzhou have to give them seven points of face, where do they want to be "invited" from the mansion by someone like this today.

Even if Chu Xiaoxiao held up the position of the county lord, but there is a way that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, how could these rich businessmen put Chu Xiaoxiao, a county lord who has never seen it before, in their eyes.

After Chu Xiaoxiao's words were finished, several wealthy businessmen led by them looked at each other, and only after a moment did someone open their mouths to question.

"Lord Huaiyang, what do you mean by that?"

This was not polite, but Chu Xiaoxiao was not angry, looked at the man with a smile, and said, "You should have heard about it, right? Lord Yongzhou Taishou Lin voluntarily donated half of his family property for disaster relief, and Lord Lin has done so, if you don't say a little, is it a little unreasonable?

The person who just spoke was a famous wealthy businessman in the north, who looked like he was in his fifties, and few people knew what his original name was, and most people had called him Zhang Million for so many years, because he had millions of family properties.

According to the information from Chu Xiaoxiao's previous investigation, Zhang Million is really not so simple.

Zhang Million was born in a peasant family when he was a child, and he was hungry, and he was still working as a long-term worker when he was a teenager.

But after the invasion of Dirong more than 20 years ago, Zhang Million made a fortune inexplicably, and after so many years of operation, he finally became a wealthy businessman in Yongzhou and even the entire northwest.

Zhang Million's face was pale, but when he heard Chu Xiaoxiao's words, he had to answer: "County Lord, now that there is a plague in Yongzhou, there is no business to do, and we people are also having a hard time. However, since the county lord has already said it, then we are naturally willing to do a little bit for the people of Yongzhou City......"

Before Zhang Million could finish speaking, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly stroked his palm, interrupted his words, and then said with a smile: "Then the county lord will thank you for the people of Yongzhou City, you are willing to donate half of your family wealth, this county lord is really moved." ”
