Chapter 028: Resolved
Doctor Ji took advantage of this time and pulled Mu Qingge aside: "What's going on?" ”
"Master." Mu Qingge was also anxious, "Why did you come to the dealer's house?" ”
Doctor Ji thought about it and whispered a few words in Mu Qingge's ear. Mu Qingge was startled, looked back at Shang Qirui, and found that he had been invited in by Mrs. Zhuang.
Mu Qingge hesitated for a moment, and also said a few words in the ear of Doctor Ji. Doctor Ji's expression became a little strange, and he looked at Mu Qingge in surprise.
"Master, let's go first. When you're done, I'll come back to you. Mu Qingge took Su Mu and the others to say goodbye.
"Doctor Ji, Your Royal Highness, please come in." A guard came out of the banker's house and saw that there was only one military doctor, and he was a little strange, "Hey, what about Brother Qin?" ”
"Oh, they're gone." Doctor Ji said casually, raising his feet and walking inside.
The guard was stunned for a moment, and saw that there was no longer Mu Qingge's shadow, so he had to follow in.
When Doctor Ji walked into the room, Shang Qirui had just finished his words, and when he saw that only Doctor Ji came in alone, he couldn't help but ask, "Where is Qin Ge?" ”
"He's got something to do, so let's go first." Doctor Ji said deliberately very easily.
"You're going to let him go?" Shang Qirui frowned, displeasure written on his face. He looked for the person he had been looking for for so long to find, and he just left?
"Your Highness, don't worry, Gongzi Qin will come tomorrow to treat the grandson of the people's woman." Mrs. Zhuang is a smart person, and she is busy with Shang Qirui.
Shang Qirui's face improved at this time, and he symbolically asked Mrs. Zhuang's grandson what illness he was and how he met Qin Ge.
Mrs. Zhuang roughly told the situation on the road, and also talked about the situation of Zhuang Ze.
"Qin Ge said that he was not sure?" Shang Qirui frowned, hesitated, and still pointed at Doctor Ji Jun and said, "This is Qin Ge's master, why don't you let him take a look at it again?" ”
Mrs. Zhuang was only surprised by Shang Qirui's identity before, and she didn't hear Mu Qingge call the military doctor "master". Thinking that Mu Qingge said that the fox grass was sued by her master, maybe this Ji military doctor has a way to detoxify? Mrs. Zhuang was immediately overjoyed and agreed.
Hurriedly stood up and saluted Shang Qirui and Doctor Ji respectively: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, then I will bother Mr. Ji...... The women brought Mr. Ji over, Your Highness, and you chatted. ”
Shang Qirui didn't want to see Zhuang Ze originally, he was only interested in the banker's silver, so he sat down according to Mrs. Zhuang's words and didn't move.
Doctor Ji is suffering, Mu Qingge's medical skills are no worse than him. He, the master, is just a shield. Therefore, seeing Mrs. Zhuang's happy face, Doctor Ji felt very guilty. Today, she is destined to be disappointed.
However, after taking the pulse, Doctor Ji's face changed. Such a special poison, does he want to say it?
"Is it fox grass?" Mrs. Zhuang saw that Doctor Ji was embarrassed, and took the initiative to ask.
"Qin Ge has already sued you?"
"Yes, can you cure it?" Mrs. Zhuang asked expectantly.
"Now that Qin Ge has been diagnosed, it's time to sue you, there's no antidote to this poison, right?" Doctor Ji said a little unbearably.
"Qin Gongzi said that he could try to use acupuncture to force the poison out, but he was not completely sure." Mrs. Zhuang was disappointed, "Sir, is there no other way?" ”
Doctor Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head, don't talk about other methods, even acupuncture and moxibustion techniques, he is not as powerful as Mu Qingge. The military doctor is good at trauma.
Back in the living room, Doctor Ji and Mrs. Zhuang both found the atmosphere a little awkward.
"Your Highness, I can't hide it, the affairs of the grass people's family have always been decided by the lady. Therefore, what His Highness said, the grass people still have to discuss it with their wife before they can reply to His Highness. Seeing Mrs. Zhuang coming, Master Zhuang said to Shang Qi very seriously.
Doctor Ji was stunned, even if Master Zhuang was unwilling to borrow silver, he didn't have to find such a bad excuse, right? also pushed his wife to the front, which is really contemptible!
Shang Qirui had a hint of respect in his eyes, and said: "It seems that Master Zhuang is also a man of temperament, and His Royal Highness has no reason not to agree." ”
Master Zhuang offended and left with Mrs. Zhuang.
After a while, Master Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang returned.
"Your Highness, you build a dike, this is for the benefit of the people of the entire Wucheng. The women were grateful and wanted to help. However, two million taels of silver, this is really not a small amount......" This time Mrs. Zhuang spoke directly, and the embarrassment was written on her face.
Although they all knew that she was refusing, there was no way to refute it. Even if he is the richest man in Wucheng, there is no reason why he can take out two million taels of silver at once, right? Besides, this is borrowing silver, which is originally a matter of the government, and it is shameful enough to borrow silver from the people, can it still be robbed?
Shang Qirui didn't want the dealer to pay all the two million taels, but when he heard this, he wanted to be cheeky and say how much he could.
Doctor Ji spoke first: "I don't know what kind of business the dealer does?" ”
What does that mean? Everyone was stunned, but Shang Qirui was the first to react, his eyes flashed with joy, and said: "That's right, if the things used to build the embankment are provided by the dealer, it should save a lot of silver, right?" ”
Mrs. Zhuang and Master Zhuang glanced at each other and nodded: "There is no problem with this." ”
The dealer's business spreads from all walks of life, and most of the things used to build the dam are stones and soil, which will not cost the dealer much silver, and she has no reason not to agree.
Thinking about Shang Qirui's identity, as well as the intimate relationship between Mu Qingge and Shang Qirui. Mrs. Zhuang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, in the east of Wucheng, there is a street called Lingyun Street, and all the poorest people in Wucheng live there, and they can't eat enough for three meals a day. If Your Highness asks these people to build the dam, they can be satisfied with three meals a day without pay. ”
Shang Qirui's eyes brightened, and he waved at Mrs. Zhuang: "Thank you, madam." ”
Mrs. Zhuang naturally didn't dare to accept Shang Qirui's courtesy, but she was still moved. A dignified prince can do this for the people, what else can't she do?
"Your Highness, the food and drink of the people who build the embankment will be taken care of by the dealer." Before leaving, Mrs. Zhuang said again.
Shang Qirui didn't make a fuss this time, but said very seriously: "Mrs. Zhuang, don't worry, this time, I will not make you suffer a loss." ”
Mrs. Zhuang's heart moved, she didn't ask more, she just said some good things for the people and the country.
Out of the dealer, Shang Qirui's expression is obviously good, and now a large part of the problem has been solved. If you go and ask the Song Governor's Mansion to give some silver, it will probably be enough.
"Your Highness, Weichen has a mention, I don't know if it can be done?" Doctor Ji followed silently for a while, and finally spoke.
"Mr. Ji, please speak." Shang Qirui now has more and more respect for Doctor Ji, but he didn't expect to miss such a big talent in the past. Not only is he a good doctor, but he also has unique insights into many things.
"Judging from the prefect of Song and Wu Tong's judgment, His Royal Highness is afraid that he can't rely on them." Doctor Ji Jun pondered the words, "Now that the flood season is approaching, I am afraid that it will be too late for those poor people to build the embankment." ”
Shang Qirui frowned, this is indeed too late, Doctor Ji is just guessing, but he is sure.
"Then Mr. Ji has a way?" Shang Qirui knew that since Doctor Ji had proposed it, there must be a way to solve it, and he was a little happy, but he didn't expect that this time the matter would be so smooth.
"There's a way, I don't know if it's going to work."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"There should be many prisoners in the yamen's prison." Thinking about Mu Qingge's words, Doctor Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Most of these prisoners are not serious crimes, they are not great traitors......
Before Doctor Ji finished speaking, Shang Qirui understood. You can let the criminals build the dikes, and when the time comes, the credit will be overcome. Naturally, these people don't need to be paid to build the dams.
"Mr. Ji, what a clever plan." Shang Qirui praised that Doctor Ji is not young, and his brain is still flexible.
