At this time, hundreds of people in Chang'an City fell into madness.

Because Liang Wang, the first loser of the Tang Dynasty, bought willow bark, the price given was really crazy.

That's a pound of ten pennies!

As long as you get 100 catties a day, it is 1,000 yuan, which is enough for a family for several months.

Hundreds of people took machetes, kitchen knives, and some scissors, and ran out of their homes and went straight to the riverbank and other places where there were willow trees.

Many families are even out as a family and act quickly.

And those places with willow trees have been besieged by more and more people.

Later, the people couldn't even surround it.

Everyone is grabbing the bark, and some are about to fight.

Some small willow trees have even been stripped bare-naked with machetes.

There are still a lot of willow trees in Chang'an City, but they can't stand the number of people!

It didn't take long for all the willow trees in the city to be stripped of their fineness, and one by one, like a woman who had taken off her clothes, revealed her white and tender delicate body.

If you suffer this calamity, you will not be able to live.

And some of the shrewd people hurried out of the city and ran out of the city.

There are many monks in the city and less porridge, and the willow trees are obviously not enough, but there are still outside the city.

Especially in the Baqiao in the east of the city, there are the most willow trees in that area, and they are all big willow trees that can't be hugged by one person.

How many catties of skin can a tree peel off? How much is it worth?

At this moment, the Baqiao willow tree has been hooked with the copper coin!

……

Outside the first floor of the world, people finally came with willow bark.

This is a family of three, the husband and wife with their thirteen or fourteen-year-old son, carrying a large box of willow bark to the first floor of the world.

The three of them in this family are still quite apprehensive.

Although King Liang sent people to buy willow bark with gongs and drums, who knows if it is true or not?

What if people don't accept it then?

Ten pennies a pound! This kind of thing can only be done by a madman.

When they carried the willow bark over with trepidation, to their little reassurance, Li Su, the king of Liang, immediately ordered someone to weigh them.

This basket of willow bark, after removing the weight of the frame, is also as much as eighty-one catties.

Li Su did not give money first, but poured the willow bark on a piece of cloth, carefully checked it, and found that it was not adulterated, so he waved his hand and said, "Give money!" ”

Soon, eight hundred and ten cents were handed to them.

After getting the money, the couple was so excited.

Oh my God, what a give!

That's eight hundred and ten dollars!

After getting the money, they turned and left, deciding to try their luck outside the city, and if they could get more willow bark, they would really make a fortune.

"Wait!"

The couple turned around and asked in disbelief, "I wonder what His Highness has done to stop the grass people?" ”

Li Su couldn't help but say: "After you go back, help publicize it, all those who suffer from malignant colds in the family can be carried to the first floor of my world, drink a bowl of soup, and give each person a hundred yuan!" ”

"Okay, Your Highness, after our husband and wife go back, we will definitely help you publicize!"

When these two people heard that it was just such a simple thing, they couldn't help but put their minds at ease, and seeing that Li Su had no other instructions, they hurriedly turned around and left.

And Li Su ordered people to set up ten cauldrons outside the first floor of the world and add water to the pots.

Wash the willow bark and chop it, wrap it in gauze and put it in a pot to boil.

And this bark is only the pink bark inside.

The boiling time should not be too long, after the water boils, boil for a few more minutes and see the color of the water turn reddish-brown.

At this time, stop the heat and put the boiled soup out for storage.

At this time, the number of people who came to sell willow bark gradually increased.

Every one of the people who sold out, with money in their hands, left happily.

And those people who haven't taken their turn yet, are anxious, for fear that they won't buy it when it's their turn.

And every citizen who left, Li Su would ask them to go back to spread the news, as long as a patient suffering from a malignant cold came to drink a bowl of soup, he would give 100 yuan.

After a while, it was the turn of a young man with a slanted eye and a hooked nose to sell bark.

After weighing, it was found that his bark was more than 130 catties, which was the heaviest one today.

After pouring the bark, Li Yu checked it and couldn't help but ask the young man, "Wait, what kind of bark are you in here?" ”

The young man said in a flash, "Of course it's all willow bark?" ”

Li Su said angrily: "Look at this, and this, is this willow bark?" Yes? You actually want to deceive this king? You're really blind! Someone, arrest him, and beat him to this king! ”

Li Su gave an order, and suddenly seven or eight family members poured out, and grabbing the young man was a violent beating.

It didn't take long for the young man to be swollen all over his body, and it was estimated that even his aunt wouldn't recognize him when he went home.

In this way, Li Su was still puzzled, and ordered someone to plant a pillar in front of the door and tie the young man to the pillar.

So that all the people who came to sell the bark of the tree could see him.

After the previous cause and effect, some people couldn't help but quietly re-examine their own bark and quietly throw away some other bark.

It turns out that King Liang is not easy to fool! Although people have a lot of money, they are not stupid.

But there seems to be a problem with the brain, if the brain is fine, how can it be possible to buy willow bark for ten pennies a pound?

However, this King Liang's temper seems to be very short-tempered!

The young man just now, who had just mixed some other bark into the willow bark, was arrested and beaten so badly that he was almost beaten without a human figure.

Actually, why did Li Su just want to beat him?

I can't even wait to kill him!

He bought willow bark to save the lives of the sick people in the city.

And he is greedy for small profits, mixed with other tree bark, this is simply trying to kill money!

And as time went on, Li Su acquired more and more willow bark.

The decoction that was boiled out has no place to hold it now.

Li Su stopped boiling the decoction for the time being.

At this time, patients began to be carried over.

There are some patients who have a high fever and tend to be in a coma, and there is no cure for the root cause, so they are basically waiting to die.

can earn a hundred dollars before they die, and they are naturally willing.

The first patient to come was an old man with gray hair, who was carried by his two sons.

After the old man drank a bowl of soup and medicine, Li Su really paid them a hundred yuan.

Just as the family was about to leave, they were stopped by Li Su.

"Wait, I see that you two brothers also have symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose, are they also sick?"

The two brothers hurriedly said: "Your Highness, although the grass people are infected with the cold, they are strong and strong, so it doesn't matter. ”
