After reading the newspaper report, Dr. William slapped the table angrily and said, "With such a high price of pills, apart from the nobles, how many ordinary people can afford it?" ”

"The price is a bit high!" The dean sighed and said, "But Dr. William, can you guarantee that after the successful development of the drug you tested, the price will not be high?" ”

"Of course!" Dr. William put it bluntly, "Once the drugs I develop are mass-produced, the price will definitely come down." ”

"Mass production?" The dean asked, "How long will it take?" ”

"Three years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dr. William saw that the dean's face was not very good, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Two years!" In two more years, I guarantee that the drug I have developed will be ready for mass production. ”

"At that time, I'm afraid that the daylily will be cold!" The dean sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, the businessmen who invested in your experiment before are now unwilling to throw any more money into it. ”

"How can they do that?" Hearing this, Dr. William was visibly furious, "Now that the drug research is halfway through, how can they suddenly withdraw their funding?" ”

"Why not?" The dean sighed and said, "Your drug trial is like a bottomless pit, they have been waiting for three years, but you have not made a breakthrough, how can they continue to spend it with you?" ”

"Why hasn't there been a breakthrough?" Dr. William retorted, "Now that my drug has been successfully tested on mice, it will be possible to develop it if we wait another two years." ”

"As you said before, your experiment was only successful for the first time. You'll have more experiments to do in the coming time. Staring into Dr. William's eyes, the Dean said, "Do you know how many Black Death patients will die in such a long time?"

Let me tell you, last year, 130,000 people died in the empire from the Black Death, and the year before last, 150,000 people died in the empire from the Black Death......

Ten years later, more than two million people in the empire had died from the Black Death.

You can afford it, but the sick can't. ”

"And!" After a pause, the dean continued: "You said before that as long as the drugs you developed are mass-produced, the price will be reduced, how can you guarantee that those merchants will reduce the price of medicines?

They have invested a lot of money and time, and if they don't receive enough profits, will they be willing to lower the price? ”

The dean's words immediately made William frustrated, and he slumped into his chair weakly.

Standing up and patting Dr. William on the shoulder, the dean said, "The council has passed a bill, and the medicine introduced from Da Zhou is priced at two taels of silver a piece, so ......"

The dean did not finish his words, but William understood the meaning: so the merchants saw that it was not profitable, so they cut off their investment in William.

……

During this time, Wilson was very busy.

Her Majesty has sent a message for him to leave for Great Zhou as soon as possible to procure pills for the treatment of the Black Death.

But when he visited the Great Zhou Dynasty before, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty proposed to Wilson to buy some European machinery and other things.

Of course, there is also the need to bring as many experts, scholars and skilled workers as possible to Dazhou.

All of this needs to be done by Wilson.

Machinery and skilled workers and the like, as long as the money is sufficient, the machinery will be in place quickly.

The skilled workers also agreed to go to Da Zhou, thousands of miles away in the East, without thinking about it, after giving enough money.

But those experts and scholars are not so easy to move, and Wilson needs to lobby one by one.

Among them, there are many people who yearn for the mysterious and ancient country of Da Zhou, but more of them are reluctant to go to that strange country.

To put it mildly, after many days of traveling, Wilson only said that more than 50 experts and scholars were mobilized to go to Dazhou.

On this day, Wilson returned home in disappointment.

As soon as he returned to the gate of his manor, he saw the butler running over and said, "Sir, Dr. William of the Royal Academy of Medicine has been waiting for you for most of the day. ”

"Oh?" Wilson had heard that Dr. William was working on the Black Death pill, and wondered, "What is he doing here?" ”

Although he was puzzled, Wilson's steps were not sluggish, and he hurried to the hall.

Seeing William restless on the sofa, Wilson asked straight to the point, "Dr. William has something to do with me?" ”

"Not bad!" Dr. William nodded, and said with a somewhat frustrated expression: "I heard that His Excellency Wilson is recruiting experts and scholars to go to Da Zhou, and I am here to ask Your Excellency to sign up. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Wilson couldn't help but be stunned, "Doctor, are you going to Da Zhou?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" William replied.

"Why?" Wilson was puzzled, "I've heard that your ongoing drug experiments haven't been completed yet, so why did you suddenly have the idea of going to Da Zhou?" ”

Dr. William said with a dejected expression, "My drug experiments have stopped......

Only then did Wilson learn that after the French envoy Pierre introduced the pill for the Black Death from Da Zhou, the businessmen who had invested in Dr. William's drug experiments all terminated their investment in him.

"I heard that Da Zhou's medical skills are amazing, and I have long wanted to see it, but I have never had the opportunity before. Now it's okay, I'm fine, go to Da Zhou to have a look, and stay for a few years, it's not a good thing. That being said, Dr. William's face was full of bitterness.

"In principle, I agree and welcome you to Da Zhou, Doctor, but does the dean of your Royal Academy agree?" Wilson asked.

"What could he disagree with?" Dr. William looked Wilson in the eye and said sincerely, "Before I came, I had already asked for the permission of our dean. ”

"That's good!" Wilson said, "You just need to fill out one more form and you can go with me to Big Zhou." ”

Unlike later generations, it is not a hassle for countries to go abroad now.

Even for talents like Dr. Xiang, the state does not have strict requirements for 'restricting leaving the country'.

So just fill out the necessary forms and Dr. William will be able to travel by boat to Da Zhou.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Picking up the pen and hesitating for a long time, Dr. William signed his name under the form.

"You're welcome, doctor, that's what I'm supposed to do." That was said, but Wilson was happy in his heart.

You must know that a talent like Dr. Xiang William, as long as he goes to the Great Zhou, the Great Zhou Emperor will give Wilson an extremely rich reward, how can he not be happy......
