Chapter 820: Raising the Price of Medicine
In the blink of an eye, in late July, production and construction were resumed in many places under Qin Feng's rule, and the daily life of the people gradually returned to normal. However www.biquge.info there are still many hard-hit areas, which are still under martial law and isolation.
Qin Feng and the local governments at all levels under his rule, as well as the imperial court offices, worked day and night.
The Tai Hospital, led by Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, has become a pharmaceutical factory, producing drugs continuously at 12 hours a day.
On this day, at three o'clock in the middle of the night, when Qin Feng was staring in a daze in the bedroom of the official office, Dian Wei's call came from outside, "Lord! Lord! Xun Yu's military division of the Military Aircraft Department urgently asks to see you! ”
The Military Aircraft Department has become an important department under Qin Feng's management, and it is already Qin Feng's daily work to convene a meeting of the Military Aircraft Department to arrange affairs and listen to work, which is more punctual than the court meeting of the imperial court. The Military Aircraft Department has a duty system, that is, at any time, there are military divisions in the Military Aircraft Department to deal with emergencies.
Today is Xun Yu on duty.
Hearing that there was an emergency, Qin Feng didn't care about getting dressed, so he came to the front hall with his coat on. When I sat in the hall, I was a little more energetic. He saw the military advisor Xun Yu coming in worriedly, and asked, "Wen Ruo, but there is a big matter?" ”
Xun Yu hurriedly played: "In accordance with the lord's order, a medicinal material procurement team has been dispatched, but since an hour ago, there have been procurement teams sent back emergency intelligence ...... one after another. ”
The specific situation is: hundreds of thousands of people under Qin Feng's rule are waiting for medication, and such a large-scale centralized medication situation has appeared, such a scale has never been seen before. The reserves of medicinal materials under Qin Feng's rule were in an emergency, and they began to be scarce.
Qin Feng sent a purchasing team to the area south of the Yellow River to purchase medicinal materials, and quickly informed his apprentices Ma Chao and Sun Ce to support.
However, when Qin Feng's purchasing team crossed the river, he was detained by the princes. They also have a legitimate reason not to let people in the affected areas under their rule.
Qin Feng frowned, "All of our people who have crossed the river have been strictly quarantined, and they have been confirmed that they are not infected with the plague. Didn't Cao Mengde tell them about this? ”
Xun Yu hurriedly said: "I have informed them, but they still don't let the procurement team cross the border." They said that if they wanted to buy herbs, they would send them to the border and trade them at the border. ”
"It's good to be able to trade, order the procurement team to trade as soon as possible and transport the herbs back." Qin Feng said.
Xun Yu said with difficulty: "The lord doesn't know, the price of medicinal materials from the princes has all increased, and Cao Cao has better ones, so it has doubled." Yuan Shao and Lu Bu have increased twenty times. And, they don't want money, they ask us to exchange money in our place for grain of equivalent value. The purchasing team did not dare to make their own decisions, and flew to ask for instructions. ”
"What? The price of medicine for Yuan Shao and Lu Bu has increased twenty times, and they have to exchange their original phase for equivalent grain! Qin Feng couldn't help but exclaim, this is too dark, this is the rhythm of taking the opportunity to hack me.
Qin Feng's heart was heavy, and he suddenly asked, "Where are Ma Teng and my apprentice?" And what about Liu Biao? ”
Xun You hurriedly said: "General Ma Teng is doing business as usual, and there is no news from General Sun and Liu Biao." ”
Qin Feng asked again: "Cao Cao, have they sent someone to learn water refining techniques?" ”
Xun Yu immediately said: "There is no news about this. He also analyzed: "My lord, they are raising the price of medicine like this, this is to kill us in disguise, I am afraid they will not send people to learn technology." ”
Xun Yu sighed, thinking that there was no plague under the rule of the princes of all walks of life, and they had been blinded by interests, and this was to take the opportunity to put his lord to death.
The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, the military advisors gathered in the meeting hall of the Qin Feng Official Office.
Qin Feng slapped the table very angrily, "This is to make a fortune in the country, ignoring the survival of the people." Cao Mengde is better there, according to Yuan Benchu's trading price, they only need grain, and we simply can't buy enough medicinal materials to need. This is the information sent by the intelligence guard this morning, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang have joined forces to raise the price of herbal medicines, this is to kill the people! ”
"What do you recommend?" Qin Feng asked.
Frustrated, he said, "Lord, don't be angry. The princes' move is aimed at being a strange commodity and taking the opportunity to weaken us. But the medicinal materials cannot be broken, but they cannot be allowed to increase the price of the princes at will. The subordinates thought that they had to send someone to mediate and keep the price down as much as possible. ”
Tian Feng and others agreed.
Qin Feng held back his anger, as he said, the medicinal herbs really can't be broken. The best option now is to send someone over to go around and reduce some expenses as much as possible to buy enough medicinal materials.
Qin Feng was completely helpless about Yuan Shao and others taking the opportunity to coerce, for the sake of the people, he had to endure it, he said: "In the future, these people will definitely pay the price." ”
Seeing that the lord was able to face this matter calmly, the military advisors breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, who's going to go?" Qin Feng asked.
In fact, if this errand can't suppress the price, it will be a complete failure, and even if you can suppress some prices, you will be hacked. Moreover, since Qin Feng's side tends to be passive, it must be impossible to lower the price too much, it is certain that he will be hacked, and it is a thankless errand.
Lao Jia Xu came out and said: "My lord, my subordinates recommended Pang Tongjun to go, Pang Junshi is young and promising, and he is not familiar with Yuan Shao. ”
Pang Tongmao exploded, and he really wanted to rush over and strangle Lao Jia Xu to death.
At this time, it was Xun You who walked out, and his worried appearance immediately attracted everyone's ideas.
"Gongda, do you have anything?" Qin Feng asked cautiously.
Xun You said tremblingly: "My lord, the princes have strange goods, and it seems reasonable to take the opportunity to raise the price. But have you ever thought about it, what if the princes don't plan to let us buy enough medicinal materials? ”
Everyone was taken aback, and a cold sweat broke out suddenly.
Tian Feng hurriedly said: "This plan is extremely vicious, and the princes hide their viciousness in the form of trade. Whether you buy it or not, or whether you can buy it enough, it is the final result of the lord's burden. ”
If they can't buy enough medicinal materials because of this, the people on Qin Feng's side will face the danger of dying of disease and starvation, and Qin Feng's power will be wiped out as a result. And such a result was originally caused by the viciousness of the princes, but in the end, Qin Feng was asked to bear the black pot, and people would say that it was because Qin Feng was unwilling to spend money to save the people.
At this time, the intelligence guard sent another 800 miles of urgent information. Sun Ce, the prince of Jiangdong, supported Qin Feng's herbs, but was asked by Yuan Shu not to allow him to cross the border. And Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei's people all went to Yuan Shao. The only good news is that the medicinal materials from Ma Teng's side are being transported to Jiangbei through Sili.
Only the borders of Ma Teng, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao border Qin Feng. Everyone else ran to Yuan Shao, needless to say, Cao Cao and Ma Teng had no value, and the princes all went to Yuan Shao to join forces to raise the price of medicine.
Qin Feng's face changed, and he took the case, "Wen He and Shi Yuan go to Yuan Shao, no matter what method they use, they must get back a million catties of medicinal materials." ”
Lao Jia Xu and Pang Tong glanced at each other, because the princes did it intentionally, I am afraid that this thing will not be possible.
Lao Jia Xu bowed and said: "Lord, if you want to succeed here, I am afraid that you need the advice of General Sun, the eldest apprentice of the lord." (To be continued.) )
