300,000 taels of silver may seem like a small amount, but don't forget that this is the first time that Europe has purchased this kind of pill, and it is still tentative.

After returning to Europe, if these pills worked, Zhang Lingyang believed that in the future, European businessmen would definitely purchase such pills from Da Zhou on a large scale.

It is also for this reason that after Pierre and others left Beijing, Zhang Lingyang ordered the establishment of a medical superintendent to specialize in the production of pills for the treatment and prevention of epidemics.

After hearing about the medicine for the Black Death, Louis XVIII immediately ordered a few patients suffering from the Black Death to come and take these pills.

Three days later, the patients with the Black Death were significantly less sick.

Half a month later, these patients look no different from ordinary people.

A month later, after a doctor's diagnosis, the black death patients made a full recovery.

Naturally, this caused a huge sensation again.

You know, how many lives did the Black Death take over the years?

Even if there is no 30 million, I am afraid that there are 20 million.

But the price of this pill, neither Louis XVIII nor Pierre knew how to set the price.

Originally, the purchase price of these pills was a bit high.

If they set the price too high, ordinary people simply can't afford to buy it.

But if the price they set is too low, the merchant will not make much profit.

Because of this, Louis XVIII and others had a headache.

In the end, it was Pierre who made a suggestion: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister thinks it is appropriate to set the price of the pill at two taels of silver each."

Although the price of two taels of silver was still a bit high for the common people, they could still afford it, and at the same time, the merchants also had money to earn. ”

Louis XVIII also understood that with the current income of the people in France, the people would have to save half a year to be able to save so much money.

But if the price is lower, the merchant will really have no profit to speak of.

You must know that although the industrial revolution has begun in Europe, it is not the era of giant ships and cannons after all.

In this era, the trade at sea, especially the ocean trade, was a huge risk.

Anything could happen on a voyage of thousands of miles, and Louis XVIII would not have done it without more than double the profits, even if Louis XVIII had put his knife on the necks of the merchants.

In the end, Louis XVIII reluctantly agreed to Pierre's suggestion.

On the English side, the queen was extremely angry.

Summoning Wilson over, the queen was furious.

Wilson naturally knew why the queen was so angry.

On the last mission to the Great Zhou, Wilson himself made a lot of money, but for the whole of England, there was not much practical benefit.

But Pierre's envoy was different, and Pierre's envoy not only earned enough money for himself, but also won real benefits for France.

You must know that in Europe now, everyone talks about the Black Death and changes color.

Now, the entire European continent, except for England, has nine out of ten pills for the Black Death.

The "London Journal" published a commentary: Why did France and other countries send envoys to Da Zhou to introduce pills to treat the Black Death, but Wilson, who was a year earlier than Pierre's envoy, did not cause it?

Could it be that the envoys and members of parliament of the British Empire now only have money in their eyes, regardless of the lives of the people?

As soon as this report was issued, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the people, and the cabinet was also questioned by many people.

On the other hand, France and other countries have introduced pills to treat the Black Death, although the price is high, but they are more enthusiastically embraced by the people.

The newspapers controlled by the aristocracy boasted about the wisdom of Emperor Louis XVIII all day long, and after seeing that the people were plagued by the Black Death, they sent people to the Great Zhou to purchase pills, and even for this reason, all the gold and silver originally used to purchase luxury goods such as silk, porcelain, and tea were used to purchase pills......

The media boasted so much that Louis XVIII himself felt a little blushing after seeing it.

But at the same time, he secretly wrote down Pierre's merits in his heart.

If it weren't for Pierre's quick decision, he wouldn't have won such a good reputation at this moment.

You must know that the current royal families and nobles of various European countries, in the eyes of the media, all exist as vampires.

If you compare the price of the pills purchased by Pierre with the price of luxury goods purchased by Wilson.

It is not difficult to find that Wilson made more than ten times the profit from it than Pierre.

As a result, the English Cabinet has received unanimous doubts from the people and the media.

And the first of them is naturally Wilson, the envoy who sent the Great Zhou last time.

Someone even found Wilson's house in the middle of the night and smashed the window of his home.

Wilson couldn't say anything, so he could only express his attitude to Her Majesty the Queen, saying that he would go to Da Zhou as soon as possible to purchase pills for the treatment of the Black Death.

Her Majesty reprimanded Wilson again, and then gave up.

Although Wilson replied to Her Majesty the Queen in this way, it was not possible to make the trip in three or two days if he had to leave for Dazhou.

Not to mention that this time we have to sell some machinery to Da Zhou again, so that we need to recruit some more scientific and technological personnel to make the trip.

After such a delay, three or two months passed.

……

Far away in the southern suburbs of London, at the Royal College of Physicians, Dr. William walked out of the laboratory happily.

After many days of experimentation, Dr. William finally invented a drug to treat the Black Death.

Now, the drug has been successfully tested on mice.

After a few more trials, clinical trials can be conducted.

Once the clinical trial is successful, he will become the greatest medical scientist that Europe has ever seen.

Now, the laboratory has no money for experiments, and the first priority is to apply for a trial fund from the dean.

Dr. William happily walked to the dean's office and said, "Your Excellency, my experiment has been successfully tested on mice, and now I am short of a sum of money.

If the hospital can fund another fund, I believe that it will not take half a year to conduct clinical trials. ”

Seeing William's elation, the dean said with a somewhat gloomy face: "I'm sorry, Dr. William, I'm afraid that I won't be able to approve your funds." ”

“hy？” Dr. William asked, puzzled.

"You know it at a glance!" As he spoke, the dean pushed a newspaper in front of Dr. William, "Last month, the French envoy Pierre sent an envoy to Da Zhou, and a pill for the treatment of the Black Death was introduced from there, and after human trials, the effect was excellent.

Now, with the exception of the British Empire, other countries have begun to fully promote the pill. ”

While listening to the dean's words, Dr. William carefully read the newspaper report......
