Mrs. Yao said: "I was going to grab some medicine to clear the lungs and suppress cough, but the people in the pharmacy told me that ordinary Chinese medicines like mulberry leaves, forsythia, honeysuckle, and banlan root are out of stock, and they have not been able to get the goods for a few days. ”

"These medicines are commonplace, why can't they be bought? I haven't heard the doctor from the Huimin Department say it. ”

Mrs. Yao coughed a few times, coughed and her face turned red, and it took a while to recover, and said: "The Huimin Administration is run by the imperial court and has its own supply channels, but presumably the purchase price will be too expensive. ”

Ah Sidao: "Okay, I'll go back and tell Sister Yuan right away, let her find someone to investigate, you sit down and drink some porridge, and I also fried two dishes for you." ”

"I'll eat, you go back first." Mrs. Yao said.

Ah Si said, "Okay, I'll go." ”

She walked out, Ruitian had already put the broom and stood under the porch, Ah Si waved her hand, "Then please look at Madame more for the time being." ”

"Hmm!" Destroying the sky replied lightly.

Ah Si felt that it was a bit difficult to talk to him, so he didn't say anything and went out to go home.

When I returned to the Chu Palace, I didn't see Yuan Qingling, so I asked Man'er, and Man'er said: "After you just went out, King An's Mansion sent someone to invite, saying that Princess An's child suddenly vomited milk and vomited very badly, so he asked the princess to go." ”

Ah Si was shocked, "Then why don't you follow?" How dangerous it is to go to King An's Mansion. ”

"Princess Huai just came, and they went together, so they didn't want me to follow." Man'er said.

Ah Si said: "That's okay, Princess Huai can protect Sister Yuan, I'll go to bathe and change clothes first, I was cooking at Mrs. Yao's side just now, and the smell of oil smoke all over my body." ”

The brute snickered, "Now you are more and more like a good wife and mother." ”

Ah Si made a gesture to hit her, but the brute ran away, and the two frolicked and hurried, so unhappy.

When Yuan Qingling came back, it was already night, she and Yu Wenhao entered the door with their front and back feet, and the husband and wife didn't say a few words, Ah Si came and said what Mrs. Yao found today.

Yuan Qingling was stunned, "Out of stock? Are herbs still out of stock? ”

Yu Wenhao said: "It's not strange that rare medicinal materials are out of stock, but mulberry leaves and forsythia have never been shortage." ”

"Does the Huimin Department have a fold?" Yuan Qingling asked.

"I've been busy for the past two days, and I've shown Uncle Huang all the excerpts, he may not tell me about small things, but he will discuss with me about big things, and he probably thinks it doesn't matter if this herb is out of stock, so he didn't tell me."

Yuan Qingling is a doctor, and the lack of some basic medicines in the market still brings her a great sense of crisis, especially now that she has just entered early summer, there is a spring cold in the morning and evening, which is easy to cause flu.

She said, "You will send someone to check tomorrow and see what medicines are missing?" Why is there a shortage of medicines. ”

"I'll ask Xu Yi to go to the Huimin Bureau to ask now." As soon as Yuwen Hao finished speaking, Ah Si turned around and went out, "I'll call him." ”

Xu Yi went to the Huimin Bureau overnight, found the officials of the Huimin Bureau, and asked about the shortage of medicinal materials.

The Huimin Administration did not fold it, and said: "The matter of the shortage of goods in the people, the lower officials heard about it two days earlier, and the Huimin Administration also called the purchase today, and there are still some goods from the Huimin Administration, and we are not greatly affected, because the people who specialize in the use of drugs by the Huimin Administration almost do not sell to the outside world, and their sources of goods are still there." ”

"Then you go to the merchant and ask to see what the hell is going on." Xu Yiyi.

"General Xu, don't worry, tomorrow the next official will personally go to investigate." Main Courtyard Road of the Benefit Department.

Xu Yi asked about the inventory of the Huimin Administration again, and the main hospital said: "This inventory is not much, because the Huimin Department has to treat a large number of patients every day, and it has to be purchased every few days, and we can't stock up so much, we don't have so many places." ”

"If you can get the goods, you should stock up a little more, I guess there are people here who are making trouble." Xu Yiyi.

The main courtyard was stunned, "Troublemaker? Who's the trickster? The imperial court has a strict decree that medicinal materials should not be hoarded to affect the use of drugs by the common people. ”

"It's better to be careful, I'm afraid it's not a profiteer, but someone with ulterior motives." Xu Yi is also much more shrewd now, and knows how to draw inferences from many things, especially this herb is choking the lifeblood of this spring and summer, if there is an outbreak of typhoid fever and wind chill or something, it will be troublesome.

The main court knew that the situation was uncertain now, so he immediately paid attention to it and promised: "General Xu, rest assured, this matter will definitely be investigated by the lower officials, and some medicinal materials will be stocked up tomorrow, at least it can be guaranteed that there are enough medicinal herbs on the side of the royal officials." ”

When Xu heard this, he always felt that it was inappropriate, but he was simple-minded, and he couldn't find fault for a while, so he got up and left.

In the evening of the next day, the lord of the main courtyard went to the palace of the king of Chu to restore his life.

Because it was a matter of medicinal herbs, Yu Wenhao also asked Yuan Qingling to enter the study to listen to the report together.

The main courtyard said: "Today, Weichen took someone to check, and found that all the pharmacies in Beijing are the same, there is a lack of a lot of medicines, and I asked the drug dealer, only to know that someone bought a lot of medicine a while ago, and the price of this person was two percent higher than the normal price, so the drug dealers sold the medicine to this person, this person is also very strange, and the medicine for treating injuries and recuperation is not wanted, as long as the medicine for treating wind and cold and typhoid cough, Houttuynia cordata, patchouli, rhubarb, rhodiola rosea, menthol, licorice and other medicinal materials, there is no way to get it, Business in the pharmacy has also plummeted. ”

"Do you have a list of the medicines you are missing?" Yuan Qingling asked.

The main courtyard hurriedly presented the booklet, "The words of returning to the crown princess have been listed here." ”

Yuan Qingling took the medicine book and saw that there were dozens of kinds of medicinal materials that were missing, she was not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, but when she was in the pharmaceutical research institute, she had also studied traditional Chinese medicine preparations, and she still knew the approximate medicinal properties of herbal medicines.

Almost all of these drugs are drugs for treating upper respiratory tract infections, reducing fever, and clearing the lungs, in other words, if there is an outbreak of influenza, there is no drug on the market.

She glanced at Yu Wenhao, "This medicine will not be lacking for no reason, it must be strictly investigated, and it must be fast." ”

Yu Wenhao nodded, and said to the main courtyard: "If the supply here of the Huimin Administration is sufficient, a large number of goods will be advanced, and as many as they can be imported, if they can't be hoarded, they will be diverted to major pharmacies and given to them at the purchase price." ”

"Yes!" The Lord's House took the order and retired.

Yu Wenhao sent Xu Yi in again, "You go and find out, who is the person who buys the medicine with this big hand, where does he live, and what is the use of so many medicines he wants." ”

Xu Yi was ordered to leave.

Yuan Qingling was a little worried, frowning and looking at Yu Wenhao, "Old Five, this matter must be handled carefully." ”

"Don't worry, it's really not good, so I'll transfer medicine from all over the world to Beijing first." Yu Wenhao reassured.
