Chapter 26: The Plague

Others don't know, but Zhang Yang knows very well in his heart that "Typhoid Powder" is definitely a big project with small investment, low risk, high return, and benefit the country and the people.

Through the purchase of medicinal materials and the production of "Heat-clearing Antidote", Zhang Yang calculated the cost, the cost of a pair of Chinese patent medicines did not exceed 20 yuan, the price was 30 yuan, and the net profit was 10 yuan. The population of the Ming Dynasty is nearly 200 million, and tens of millions of people buy medicine, so there will be 100,000 yuan in the account.

Thinking of the bright future, Zhang Yang felt that he was covered with chicken blood, and he hated to punch Zhen Guanxi, kick Hong Qigong, eat a big fat man in one bite, and make "Typhoid Powder" out in the blink of an eye.

The dream is plump, and the reality is skinny.

In the previous life, Zhang Yang was just an ordinary person, although he had drunk Banlan root many times, he had never paid attention to the formula, let alone the dosage.

took the lead in launching the "Heat-clearing Antidote", but he happened to study the ingredients of Pudilan, and remembered that the main formula of Pu, Di, and Blue was ripe.

Besides, Pudilan is a real hard currency, although it is not like cold medicine, which can be sold in a wide spread. But once you encounter severe symptoms that require anti-inflammatory, it is a miracle medicine that can save people's lives. The limited sale is also so that when it is a hit in the future, it can be sold as a miracle drug.

For the sake of confidentiality, Zhang Yang was personally responsible for the development of "Typhoid Powder", but he didn't know anything about traditional Chinese medicine, except for being able to brag to Wang Yan and talk about the miraculous effect of banlan root in curing all diseases, he had no better opinions on other aspects. The burden of research and development fell on Wang Yan.

It is true that Wang Yan is a real scholar, with solid theoretical knowledge and rich practical experience. The only problem is that this scholar is too serious, and the choice and dosage of the formula have reached the point of being demanding. took Wang Langzhong's prescription and changed it back and forth, and the change was too big, and there was no definite result.

After the frost fell, the cold wind in Shanhaiguan blew, and the capital became colder and colder day by day. As soon as he went out, Zhang Yang was forced to sneeze three times in a row by the oncoming cold air.

Xiao Cui greeted her with the padded gown that had been prepared, and explained while dressing her master: "It cooled down last night, so you need to wear more." ”

Taking advantage of the opportunity to get close, Zhang Yang glanced at Xiaocui's neckline.

In the past, when you looked down from the neckline, you could see some beautiful scenery. Today, Xiaocui changed into a jacket, wrapped in airtightness, and the scenery was completely lost.

Zhang Yang was helpless, so he had to put his hand on Xiao Cui's small waist and touch it. The waist is so thin, it's soft, and it feels so good.

Xiao Cui's body stiffened, her cheeks burned red, her face was ashamed, and she didn't know what to do.

The innocent appearance is like an innocent little milk cat, held in the hands of the owner, rubbed and rubbed, and did not dare to move.

Zhang Yang couldn't bear it in his heart, grabbed her slender hand, and gently educated: "In the future, if you encounter a prodigal son who is unruly to you, you can just slap it directly." When he said this, Zhang Yang automatically excluded himself from the disciples, and considered himself a decent and good person.

Yes?

Xiao Cui froze obviously, looked up at Zhang Yang several times, and finally lowered her head, blushed and said, "Xiao Cui knows." ”

I don't know if she really understands or pretends to understand, and she is not willing to shake off Zhang Yang's hand.

This behavior made Zhang Yang come to a conclusion: Xiaocui, the little girl, is afraid that she is moved by herself. In the dream of Red Mansions, the maid served the young master, and when she served, she went to bed and became a maid in the room, could it be Xiaocui......

Uh, think far ahead.

Men, it is better to focus on career and make money.

When he arrived at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, Zhang Yang turned around, and he was getting three poles in the morning, but he didn't see Wang Yan's shadow.

"Why isn't Little Senior Sister here today?"

Lu Erxing, an apprentice who followed Wang Yan in general, replied: "Miss Wang went to Xiaoyangzhuang in the suburbs. ”

The doctor apprentices present looked strange when they heard Xiao Yangzhuang, as if they had bumped into a ghost, and they each found a reason to disperse.

Zhang Yang noticed that something was wrong, followed behind Lu Erxing, and asked, "What is the little senior sister doing in Xiaoyangzhuang?" ”

"Heal people."

"Why didn't you go with it?"

Lu Erxing hesitated for a long time and said: "Erxing is the only son in the family, both old and young. ”

No, who asked you that? Zhang Yang was not half interested in Lu Erxing's family situation.

Zhaocai walks around outside all year round and is well-informed. At this time, he came to the master's side, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that something big happened to Xiaoyangzhuang. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yang was shocked, and somehow, an ominous premonition rose in his heart, "You make it clear." ”

Zhaocai nodded at Lu Erxing and said, "He should know better than me." ”

Zhang Yang raised his chin and looked at Lu Erxing, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Lu Erxing pretended to be stupid and spread his hands: "Second little grandfather, Erxing is an apprentice, where do you know a lot." ”

Zhang Yang's sharp gaze shot towards Lu Erxing like a sharp arrow, startling his back with chills.

After hesitating for a moment, he said calmly: "Second little master, spreading rumors is a big crime to cut off your head. ”

Good fellow, dare to threaten people.

Without waiting for Zhang Yang to speak, Zhaocai strode forward, grabbed Lu Erxing's neckline, and dragged him to a remote place like a chicken.

Lu Erxing was stuck in his neck, coughed, and shouted, "Let go!" Let it go! ”

The volume was a bit loud, and someone looked this way. Zhao Cai's hand was forced, "You call again, believe it or not, I want your life now." ”

Not to mention, Zhaocai crooked his mouth and squinted his eyes looked like a mixed underworld, and the Changle Gang didn't include him, it's a pity.

Lu Erxing's face was flushed, and he couldn't breathe, "Second little grandfather, spare your life." ”

As soon as Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows, Zhaocai let go.

Lu Erxing broke free, retreated again and again, covered his neck with his hands, and stared at the three of them with a guarded face.

Shouting, fighting, shouting and killing is not a flamboyant style.

He took out two pieces of money and threw it in front of Lu Erxing, and said, "Don't worry, the young master is not a person with many mouths and tongues, and he will never reveal half a word to outsiders." ”

As an apprentice, you can't earn more than two dollars a year, so it's no wonder that you don't want to be impressed.

Under the coercion of Zhao Cai and the lure of publicity, Lu Erxing confessed everything he knew.

"There is a man in Xiaoyangzhuang who has typhoid fever and a high fever that does not go away, and his family members have fallen ill one after another. The doctor in the county went over, heard the symptoms on the road, only glanced at it from a distance through the curtain, and did not diagnose the pulse, so he came to the conclusion that the plague fled on the spot, and when he came back to tell the county government, the official sent someone to seal the village. ”

Zhang Yang's heart sank, the medical conditions in the Ming Dynasty were low, once the plague occurred, there were dead people in every family, and every household could hear the sound of wailing. Once the blockade was established, the people inside infected each other, and they contracted the disease one after another, and no doctor was willing to go into the village for treatment, and the disease worsened, and finally the whole village and even the whole county died.
