Chapter 147: I've Been Pit Again
Li You was very depressed, a little reluctant to see the beautiful scenery in front of him, but the holy order was difficult to disobey, so he had to obediently follow the eunuch who passed the decree.
As he walked, he thought that he would not take care of anything in the future, and would hide in the research institute to be a foodie quietly.
It's okay to eat some food, drink some wine, and soak a girl, this is a comfortable life.
"Play stupid in the future, and don't care about anything." He said through gritted teeth.
Bai Hu heard his dream words on the side, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you are dreaming, those who can work hard, you are the life of hard work." ”
Li You scolded: "You crow's mouth, Wang Jiudan." Can't you just say something I like to hear? You will not be allowed to eat at noon today. ”
The white tiger grinned.
Li You knew that what the white tiger said was reasonable, and it was impossible to be idle.
Liangyi Palace, study.
Li You went in and saw that the bigwigs of the imperial court were there, and Li Chengqian was responsible for the prevention and control of the plague, and he introduced the situation.
It turned out that the prescription for the treatment of the plague was available, but the medicinal materials had become a problem, and the official medicinal materials were only a little stocked in the Taixue of the Tai Hospital and the Tai Medical Department, and these medicinal materials were just a drop in the bucket for a huge Chang'an.
There are medicinal materials in Chang'an City, but they are all in the hands of private individuals, mainly in the hands of medicinal material merchants. But people don't want to sell.
In the market, the rich people are crazy to rob, and the price is rising, and it has now risen to more than 5 times the usual price.
The government can't buy it if it wants to. Hoarding is the instinct of merchants, and everyone is waiting to see how long the plague will last, hoping to sell it for a higher price.
It was also not legal to force merchants to sell at a reduced price. After all, things are people's own, and you can't force them.
If this is done, it will make a bad start, and in the future, the government will be able to force the government to buy and sell if it makes an excuse, and the society will not be chaotic.
Besides, most of these merchants have court officials and even nobles behind them, and if you want to do this, you can't get through.
There is another way, which is to transfer from other places, which is also not possible. Merchants from other places heard that there was an urgent need for medicinal materials here, and they were willing to send them here, but the price would also increase significantly.
Even if the price is lower than that of Chang'an, the distant water does not quench the thirst of the near.
Chang'an City is in urgent need of medicinal materials, and it must be solved immediately!
Everyone was at a loss.
Li Chengqian has now developed a habit, as long as it is a problem that cannot be solved, he will immediately think of Li You. At his suggestion, Li Shimin summoned Li You.
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Shimin asked, "Li You, do you have any way to do this?" ”
Everyone also focused their eyes on Li You.
Li Youxin said: "This is really a troublesome thing, this is equivalent to snatching food from other people's rice bowls, and it is definitely a thing that offends people."
You nerves, such troublesome things, all push out. ”
He said, "Don't look at me, I can't help it." ”
Fang Xuanling said: "No. Your Highness, just now the minister saw your eyes rolling, there must be a way. ”
"Huh? This ...... "What kind of routine is this, Li You is a little blind."
Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness, the minister dares to bet that you have a way, one pays ten." ”
Xiao Qian said: "Yes, His Royal Highness's poems are the first in Chang'an, you must have a way." "Does this poem have anything to do with this?
Everyone, you and I will lift Li You up one by one.
Even Wei Chigong said seriously: "Your Highness, the minister's son Baoqi admires you the most, and he said that there is nothing you can't do." ”
Wei Chigong really thought so in his heart.
Li Tai came over, saluted Li You, and said solemnly: "Fifth brother, thank you for saving your mother, the fourth brother has saluted you, please save the people of Chang'an again." ”
These guys, what kind of tricks have they come up with.
Li You said helplessly: "You people are all top wise men in the Tang Dynasty, why are you all bullying me as a sixteen-year-old child?" ”
As soon as Li Shimin heard this, he knew that this kid had a way again, and immediately said, "Li You, the king of Qi, took the order. ”
"Damn, here again!" Li You reluctantly arched his hand and said, "Erchen takes the order." ”
Li Shimin said: "Li You, the king of Qi, is responsible for solving the problem of medicinal materials for the treatment of the plague. ”
Li You said: "The son obeys the order. ”
Seeing that Li You accepted the order, everyone relaxed for a while, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became lively.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "You'er, after doing this, you are allowed to take a month off and eat as much as you want." Ha ha. ”
"Hahaha", everyone laughed in unison.
Wei Zheng couldn't laugh, he was very worried, although Li You was behaving well now, this guy's methods were known for being ruthless.
For example, the matter of interrupting the eunuch chief Cui Shanshi's legs, and the robbery of Tubo merchants in Tuyuhun, this guy dares to do anything.
The pharmacists in Chang'an are somewhat backstage, and if Li You takes tough measures, I'm afraid something will happen, and it will have a great impact on Li You's future.
Wei Zheng was worried that Li You would cause trouble and the merchants would suffer. is also worried that Li You will cause trouble, so as to get into trouble.
He said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not a trivial matter, and the minister asks to accompany His Royal Highness King Qi to go with him." ”
Li Shimin understood Wei Zheng and immediately understood what he meant, and felt that it was more secure. So he said: "Okay, Wei Aiqing, you are responsible for supervising the implementation of this matter." ”
Li Tai's mood is complicated. This time Li You saved the eldest grandson queen, and he was grateful in his heart. He has no opinion on being able to say that the pharmaceutical companies will reduce the price and benefit the people.
However, after all, Li Chengqian is responsible for this matter, and if the matter is done, Li Chengqian's credit will be great, and his prestige will increase a lot.
Therefore, he still hopes that Li You will not be able to do this. Moreover, he never believed that Li You would be able to convince those merchants to lower the price.
Li Shimin has confidence in Li You, but he really can't figure out how to make businessmen make less money, and now the medicinal materials are in demand, so he doesn't have to worry about selling them at all.
Therefore, he wanted Wei Zheng to supervise the whole process and see how Li You did it.
Li You came out of the Liangyi Hall and said to Wei Chigong: "General Wei Chi, you sent someone to call Li Chunfeng, this matter needs to be handled by a few of us." ”
After speaking, he said to Baihu: "You immediately go and invite Jia Jinxian, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, to our mansion." ”
Qi Wangfu.
Li You had some things that he couldn't say in front of Wei Zheng, so he wanted to find an excuse to temporarily support him. But Wei Zheng insisted on supervising the whole process.
He held his urine and refused to go to the toilet, just not leaving Li You's side.
Li You had no choice but to say: "Lord Wei, you may not be used to this matter, but I promise not to break the law." However, you are not allowed to meddle in the middle, otherwise, I will not care about this matter. ”
Wei Zheng said: "Okay, Your Highness, as long as you don't break the law, you can do whatever you want." The minister promised not to say a word. ””
Li You explained to Yu Chigong and Jia Jinxian.
Wei Zheng was annoyed when he heard this, and he was just about to speak, but Li You, who had already observed his face, said, "Lord Wei, you promised me that you will talk and count." ”
Wei Zheng's face turned red and he couldn't help himself.
Wei Chigong and Jia Jinxian took the order and set off.
Then, Li Chunfeng came.
Li Chunfeng said excitedly: "Your Highness, the division and molecular formula you told the minister, the minister thinks it is very useful, the minister ......."
"Stop. Daochang Li, I don't have time to discuss this with you today, there is a big matter that you need to do. Li You interrupted him directly.
"Your Highness, please command." Li Chunfeng said.
Li You asked, "What has the weather been like in the last few days?" Will it be cloudy and sunny in a few days? As he spoke, he gave him a look secretly.
