Ye Tiannan's methods are actually not clever, for the layman, he may only see the changes in a few medicinal materials.

But for connoisseurs, what they see is the intention behind it.

The reason why Ye Tiannan was chosen was that the medical officer brought by Ma Zhou saw this intention from the prescription that Ye Tiannan obtained.

It's an interesting prescription that first makes the person's symptoms progress towards recovery, and then when they reach a certain point, they suddenly change the prescription to make the symptoms worse, and then change the prescription.

But it is obviously impossible to achieve the goal just through prescriptions, everyone knows it, including Ye Tiannan.

Therefore, every time the prescription is changed, there will be an inexplicable record, the sudden aggravation of the condition for unknown reasons, and then quickly find the reason, and then change the prescription.

Of course, these things are worth recalling, but Ma Zhou doesn't plan to care about them.

After a short time, a gray-haired old man came to Ma Zhou.

"The old man is a scholar, the scholar family is old, I don't know what the deputy envoy is looking for the old man?" Shiji said directly, without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Tiannan can't afford to offend King Zhao, and he can't afford to offend the Shi family.

Eat a trench and grow wise, Ye Tiannan is not only a smart person, but also an extremely smart guy, otherwise how did he get his medical skills? How did you rely on your own skills to get up and down in Jiaozhou?

A guy with an insufficient IQ will definitely not be able to do this.

Therefore, Ye Tiannan told Shiji exactly what Ma Zhou said before, of course, the matter of changing the prescription was also proposed by Ye Tiannan, and only in this way would he not give the other party any flaws when the court investigated it in the future.

Although they did do some shady things, their purpose was not to put Li Daoxing to death, so there was a lot more room for maneuver.

It is precisely because of this that Shiji dared to ask Ma Zhou directly so boldly.

"Two things, the king of Quang Ninh can no longer take medicine, within a month, the king of the county must fully recover his health! The second thing, 1,000 catties of gold, will be sent to the deputy embassy of Chang'an within half a year, otherwise you know the consequences! Ma Zhou said with a greedy expression on his face.

Shi Ji squinted his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Deputy Envoy Ma's appetite is a little too big, right?" ”

A thousand pounds of gold? If it weren't for Ma Zhou being the deputy envoy of the fleet, Shiji would have directly let people kill him and throw him into the jungle to feed the beasts.

Know how much 500 catties of gold is?

One pound is sixteen taels, and one thousand catties is sixteen thousand taels!

According to the latest exchange rate this year, one tael of silver is a thousand yuan, and ten taels of silver is one tael of gold, that is to say, Ma Zhou opened his mouth and asked him if he wanted 160,000 yuan?

Of course, there are loopholes in this rate, first of all, the current economic situation is that silver is more precious than gold.

The amount of gold scattered by the people is more than silver, so that many people do not understand why the imperial court made gold the highest currency, and it is still a one-to-ten exchange rate with silver.

However, before the introduction of the new currency, the imperial court engaged in a one-handed operation, vigorously purchasing scattered gold in the people, and there was naturally not much in the hands of ordinary people, most of which existed in the hands of the family gatekeepers.

And due to the smooth implementation of the plan to seal the king, the family's resistance and careful thinking were not much, and the half-pushed and half-successful ones were also from the imperial court.

Of course, these people would definitely not guess that the reason why the imperial court wanted to put the gold at the highest was because Li Yuanjing directly told Li Shimin that the amount of silver in the Wa Kingdom was hundreds of times more than the amount of gold.

The imperial court needs to reserve time to operate, and it also needs time to reserve silver, so the implementation of the new currency will be repeatedly delayed, so that it will not be implemented until the summer of this year, you must know that the imperial court was preparing two years ago.

"Appetite? The risk taken by this deputy envoy is also not small! Ma Zhou smiled slightly, and said unconcernedly.

"That's all there is to it, how to choose it in your hands, from today onwards, six months later, the deputy envoy will see the money, both are indispensable!" Ma Zhou stood up and reminded again, and then beckoned everyone to pack up and leave.

This time, Ma Zhou personally met Li Daoxing, and also chatted with him, Li Daoxing was unable to meet Li Yuanjing due to physical reasons, and felt deeply sorry for this.

As evidenced by his own eyes, coupled with the judgment of the medical officer, when confirming that Li Daoxing was really not a big problem, Ma Zhou only exerted some pressure slightly, and then left with everyone without looking back.

However, Ma Zhou walked simply, but the Shi family made a difficulty.

It's not that they can't take out a thousand catties of gold, but why should they take it out to him? Is it worth giving? What they did, if Ma Zhou really broke out, would the court be furious?

Regarding the difference between giving and not giving, several clan elders of the Shi family conducted a fierce discussion.

Some people think that since Ma Zhou grabbed their handle, he gave it to him, and Ma Zhou was King Zhao's henchman, and his official rank was not low, so they could take the opportunity to pull Ma Zhou onto the boat.

And some people think that it is difficult for King Zhao's henchmen to enter the core power circle of the imperial court, and it is useless for them to spend so much effort to win him over, after all, King Zhao is not the emperor, and if King Zhao wants to move them, it does not mean that the emperor also wants to move.

Others think that they and the court have been at peace all these years, although they have some thoughts this time, but they are not bad intentions, and they feel that the court should not pay too much attention to this matter, so neither of them cares.

Some people also think that the wicked should sue first, and they don't want to give it anyway, so it is better to give Zhao Wang a gang first, so that their brothers will eat dog.

They also want to be crowned king, but they are reluctant to be here, after all, they have been rooted here for hundreds of years, Jiaozhou Mountain is far away from the emperor, and the Shi family is the soil emperor here, so the Shi family's desire to be the king is not strong.

The deterrent power of the imperial court here is not high, or not as high as imagined, garrison?

Hehe, if they are willing, they can make the imperial court unable to transfer a garrison, unless you can transfer large armies from other places to attack, but if the Shi family resists with all their might, even if it is the imperial court, it may not be able to take advantage of anything here.

In the end, the clan elders of the Shi family passed the decision of not to bird him with a high vote, and only one person agreed to give money, and then decided that everything was business as usual, how could Li Daoxing leave the medicine? If you really don't give him a drink, I'm afraid Li Daoxing himself will not be happy!

On the fourth day after leaving Songping County, Ma Zhouxing finally returned to the fleet.

Ma Zhou told Li Yuanjing about his observations and decisions on this trip, including asking Li Daoxing to stop taking medicine and asking for a thousand catties of gold.

Ma Zhou is not short of money, he has never been short of money since he followed Li Yuanjing, and his career is getting smoother and smoother, although he can't gain trust in the imperial court, but in the future, he will follow King Zhao out to expand the territory, he is also a veteran, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?

So Ma Zhou didn't mean to take risks for the sake of such a little money, it was not worth it!

"I don't think they should heed the warnings of the lowly ones!" After the report, Ma Zhou expressed his opinion.

Li Yuanjing only needs to determine Li Daoxing's safety, Ma Zhou's progress is obvious, this matter is so fooled by him, at least Li Daoxing will not have any problems in half a year, looked up into the distance, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, the matter here will give the court a headache, go down and rest for a day, and return tomorrow!" ”
