Chapter 626: Lobbying
Sure enough, as soon as Jian Yong opened his mouth, it was similar to what Liu Zheng guessed.
However, knowing the purpose of Jian Yong and the others, Liu Zheng smiled faintly and immediately showed a look of disdain.
"Haha, Mr. Jian Yong, don't you think too highly of me Liu Zheng."
"Let's not say that the plague under my command has not been completely solved, just say it, even if I have a solution to this plague, why should I tell Liu Bei?"
"Could it be that you think that I, Liu Zheng, am a great and kind person, willing to fund the enemy and let the enemy grow? The more your plague grows, isn't that more beneficial to me? ”
Liu Zheng smiled faintly and looked at Jian Yong, wanting to see what Jian Yong was going to answer.
A normal person, put himself in Liu Zheng's position, and he would not come up and agree to Jian Yong's request.
This kind of enemy thing, not everyone is willing to do, to help Liu Bei solve the plague under his command, this is not good for Liu Zheng, but it greatly cheapens Liu Bei's affairs.
Can Liu Zheng be this kind of person who suffers?
Apparently not.
However, since Jian Yong was able to come, he obviously had a good foundation and knew what to say to persuade Liu Zheng.
"You can't say that, the plague is not a family thing, but a major event in the world, if everyone can't unite to fight together, the losses caused will affect the entire Han people."
"If the adults can make the methods of preventing the plague public, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for the adults and cultivating prestige, my lord, you think that you were originally born as a thief, if you can solve the plague this time, then the reputation of the adults is not in the sky?"
Jian Yong could only use this righteousness to persuade Liu Zheng, forcing Liu Zheng to tell the public about the treatment of the plague.
Otherwise, Jian Yong really couldn't think of any reason to convince an enemy to help his own people.
"That's true, but why should I do it? After all, I'm an anti-thief, would I care about that? If I cared about my reputation, I wouldn't be a thief. ”
Liu Zheng deliberately said this, just to see what other means Jian Yong and the others had to persuade him.
Jian Yong didn't expect Liu Zheng to have such an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, so he prepared a lot of lines, and he didn't know where to start for a while.
However, Jian Yong was highly expected by Liu Bei after all, since he had come to the capital, and when he saw Liu Zheng here, he would not give up easily.
After a little hesitation, he continued.
"My lord, although you don't care about these reputations, but saving the people of the Han Dynasty is also a merit, you can't watch these sick people die in such pain, although they are not the people of your territory, but the people of the world are one family, everyone is the people of the Han Dynasty, save others and save yourself. My family said that if you can help this time, he will definitely remember this kindness. ”
Regardless of whether Liu Zheng agrees or not, Jian Yong still has to continue to lobby. After all, if this plague is left unchecked and the plague spreads like this, the casualties among the people under Liu Bei's command will definitely be not small.
Of course, Liu Zheng is not really hard-hearted, in the face of the spread of this plague, no matter from any point of view, Liu Zheng is necessary, and even has the obligation to rescue everyone, but just gave the fruits of this plague to Liu Bei for no reason, and it is not what Liu Zheng wants to see, so Liu Zheng has to agree, but he still has to make some requests.
So after pondering for a moment, he replied to Jian Yong.
"Mr. Jian Yong is not that I Liu Zheng, iron-hearted to refuse, but although I have a way to treat the disease caused by this plague, but the medicinal materials I need are not easy to find, even if I want to complete them, it will take some time, and the consumption of medicinal materials required by the plague is relatively large, and it is a little difficult to calm my own people in a short period of time, and I can't take out more medicinal materials and give them to you."
When Liu Zheng replied to Jian Yong again, he had obviously changed his tone, from the initial refusal to some difficulties.
And such a change in the result is very big for Jian Yong, because Jian Yong also saw the possibility of Liu Zheng agreeing, but now that he is saying this, he is preparing to negotiate the conditions.
After Jian Yong understood Liu Zheng's intentions, he continued without thinking.
"My lord, since the medicinal materials are difficult to make, can you tell us the formula, and we can go back and make up the medicine by ourselves?"
"Recipe? That, of course, is impossible. This is our secret, and we may tell you about it, and even if we tell you the recipe for the plague, you may not be able to make a potion, and it will be useless to take it. ”
Of course, Liu Zheng couldn't give the prescription to Jian Yong, at most, he would give Liu Bei some of the prepared medicine.
"This ...... If the formula is not willing to cut love, can the adult directly give some medicine to the next one, after all, the Yanzhou plague is rampant, and hundreds of people have been killed and injured. ”
What Liu Zheng was waiting for was Jian Yong's words, he didn't want anything else, he just wanted Liu Bei to buy it from him.
After all, it is impossible for Liu Zheng to give Liu Bei for nothing, but if you buy it, and it costs a lot of money, Liu Zheng is also willing to give some medicine to Liu Bei's people.
"In that case, then I can also sell Brother Liu Bei's face, but well, I can give you some potions, but I have a few conditions."
"On what terms?"
Jian Yong was also happy to see that Liu Zheng had finally agreed to give out some of the potions, where did he care so much, not to mention a few conditions, even ten conditions, he would also agree at this time.
After all, when people's lives are at stake, with medicine, they can treat the people under Liu Bei's command, and even the generals under him, which is not something that money can measure.
"First, as I said before, this potion requires a lot of medicinal materials to be blended, these medicinal materials are difficult to collect, there are some precious ones, I don't have many in my hands, and some of the medicinal materials I need, you must provide them to me."
Liu Zheng opened his mouth and put forward his first condition.
Jian Yong did not have any opinion on this.
"No problem, this condition is very reasonable, we must fight this plague together and find each other's medicinal herbs, which is also right."
After Liu Zheng saw Jian Yong's agreement, he continued to speak.
"Second, because this potion is not easy to make, and you do not know how to treat it, it must be sent to you by my people, and your patients must be healed by my people."
