"Buzz, buzz," the businessmen chattered.

Li You said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I strongly support business and strive to improve the status of business. However, I can't do it alone.

The low status of Shinong businessmen and businessmen is also related to the behavior of our businessmen themselves. Ignoring the interests of the court and the common people, individual businessmen hoarded and made a fortune to the dead, and it was difficult for the country to make a fortune, which is indeed despicable.

Now, I can tell you that although the plague is coming to an end, a large number of medicinal herbs from other places will also arrive in Chang'an. However, the court still needs your help.

At present, there are many sick people in Chang'an, and if they can be treated in time, most of them will survive. This requires medication. But now there is a shortage of medicinal materials.

You have medicinal herbs in your hands, and the price is too high, the people can't afford it, and the court can't afford it. On the other hand, you can't sell it. In this case, you will not make any money, and many people will die in vain. Why is this all the trouble?

I tell you, the cure for the plague was my own research, and you all know its value. ”

The pharmacists are all experts, so they naturally know the preciousness of this prescription, which is a treasure that cannot be exchanged.

Li You said: "For the sake of the people, including your life and death, I have donated it to the imperial court free of charge. ”

The merchants were touched, and many of their family members were also infected with the plague, and it was by this silver warp that they were cured.

Liu Kan, a medicine merchant, stood up and saluted and said, "Your Royal Highness the King of Qi, the mother and young daughter of the grass people were infected with the plague, and they were saved by your prescription, thank you, Your Highness." ”

Then, several businessmen also came out to thank Li You.

Li You saw that the fire was coming, and said, "I have explained the reason. I have two suggestions,

First, in order to protect your interests, you sold the medicinal materials in stock at 10% higher than the usual price, and the imperial court purchased all of them.

In this way, you have not only ensured your interests, but also saved the lives of a large number of people. The court will remember your deeds, and the people will remember your kindness.

You have to cherish your reputation. ”

The merchants are already tempted. But no one took the lead, and everyone was still hesitant.

Li You continued: "The second suggestion. Some of you are black-hearted and will not be saved when they see death, and I am not afraid to tell you that for the benefit of the people and the stability of the court. I will lead the troops to raid the homes of those black-hearted businessmen, and even kill people.

Even if it would be illegal, I will do it, and it will cost me my life. ”

Yu Chi Gong was enthusiastic when he heard this, and he pulled out his waist knife with a "Cang Chang" sound, and said loudly: "Count me Wei Chi Gong one." Your Highness, as soon as you give an order, the minister will immediately lead troops to arrest people and raid their homes. ”

In normal times, Wei Zheng would definitely oppose their approach. But now, he didn't say a word.

At this moment, the pharmacists were shocked. Li You is a bastard, and Wei Chigong's name is also terrifying!

Liu Kan, a pharmacist, said: "Your Highness, there is no need to do this, your prescription has saved my family's life, and you are still thinking about us grass people, if the grass people are still so indifferent, it will be too ignorant."

The herb people are willing to sell all the herbs at a fair price. ”

"The grass people are willing."

"The grass people are willing, too."

The businessmen have expressed their positions.

Li You saw that the matter was done, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay." You cherish the people and understand the difficulties of the court, and the court will not treat you badly.

On behalf of Your Majesty, I thank you for your patriotism. I declare that I will recruit your children in the newly established technical school of the graduate school, so that after graduation, they will be able to take up the corresponding official positions.

As for the price of medicinal materials, I will not let you suffer, so I will increase the price by 10% as I said. There will be benefits for you in the future.

However, it is too late for the government to buy it separately, so you will be sent directly to the Tai Hospital, and the household department will settle it for you on the spot. ”

"Okay, the grass people will do it right away." The merchants stood up and said.

Li You said: "Thank you for the shopkeepers, after the plague, I invite you to come to the house as guests." ”

The merchants are gone.

Wei Zheng and Wei Chigong went to the Tai Hospital, waited for the merchants to come and deliver the medicine, and also left.

Now Li You and Li Chunfeng were left, and the two walked towards the study together.

Li Chunfeng asked, "Your Highness, when will it be sunny?" ”

Li You said: "I don't know, but it will definitely be a sunny day in 3 days." ”

Li You said so definitely because he checked the information, there was no direct evidence, but it was found in a diary of Jingzhao Mansion, which recorded that there was a fire in Chang'an, and there was a record of sunny and hot days. The time is 3 days later.

Moreover, Li You based on the original findings of "the epidemic, the emperor is worried." "It is inferred that this plague disappeared quickly, and there was no other way in ancient times, it should have been a period of dry weather that made the plague disappear naturally.

Li Chunfeng was very puzzled, and didn't understand what Li You came to this conclusion on, that is, to predict the weather, how could he only predict the third day, but the previous one could not predict it?

He couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, how did you deduce it?" ”

Li You asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or lie?" ”

Li Chunfeng said: "Of course it's true. ”

Li You smiled: "I guessed, I think the rainy weather has lasted for a long time, and it should be sunny." ”

"Huh? You guessed it. What if it's not accurate? Li Chunfeng said worriedly.

"Don't do it, it's a sunny day, but I didn't say what you said." Li You said with a smile.

"Your Highness, aren't you a pit man?" Li Chunfeng complained.

Li You smiled and said: "Is there such a saying in Taoism, called the dead Taoist friend is not dead and poor?" ”

"No, absolutely not, even if there is, it should be a friend of the Dead and Poor Dao." Li Chunfeng said.

Li You smiled: "Well, yes, the realm is really high, so, if the prediction is not accurate, it's your problem, and it has nothing to do with me." Ha ha. ”

The two joked as they walked.

Too Hospital.

Wei Zheng and Wei Chigong stood at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for the merchants to come and deliver the medicine, and Gao Jingming also brought the officials of the household department to come with the money box when he heard the news.

Wei Zheng was a little apprehensive in his heart, not knowing if these merchants would break their promises, but it didn't take long for a medicine merchant to come with a carriage, and then the merchants sent them over one by one.

The problem of medicines is solved.

Wei Zheng, Wei Chigong and Gao Jingming were very excited and went into the palace together to meet Li Shimin.

Liangyi Palace.

Li Shimin and the ministers were waiting for news from Wei Zheng, and when they saw Wei Zheng and others coming in, Li Shimin asked, "Wei Zheng, how are things going?" ”
