Chapter Seventy-Eight: Names
"Lord Qiyu, not far in front is the 'Four Seasons Inn'." After receiving the news, the soldiers who went to inquire about it hurriedly replied.
I didn't have to think of any more ways to knock on the door in person, and after reporting my name and official position, Xia Mi hurriedly entered the house and reported it to Tang Mian.
"Fang self-cultivation! The secretary of the book? The official of the second grade! Tang Mian didn't dare to slack off, signaled Xiaocui not to touch the medicine and wine, and asked her to help her change her clothes and go out to meet guests.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Cui appeared in front of Fang Yishu with Tang Mian in her arms.
"Ahh Fang Gongzi, why is it? You, you are the secretary of the ministry! But didn't you ask Fang Yi to count? ”
Since the farewell of Lingcheng, Fang Yishu thought that Tang Mian, who would never be seen again, never thought that the two would be so fateful.
He smelled the smell of medicinal wine on Tang Mian's body, so he didn't rush to answer, but asked her to sit down first and then explain to him in detail.
"Miss Tang, under the surname Fang, the name is 'self-study', the word 'one number', in order to do business, I used the name of Fang Yi Shu, and I hope Miss Tang, you don't mind." Fang Yi counted the recent epidemic and was heartbroken.
Now that I see Tang Mian, I naturally have a lot of things to ask in my heart.
But it's also important.
So I asked about the origin of the pills.
"Oh, Lord Fang is like this, I found a prescription by chance, and then found that it can eradicate the epidemic, but this medicine needs to be refined by ancient methods, and I still have a lot of medicinal materials in my hands, but I can't find a doctor to help, so I can only go to Lord Jingzhao Yin Guan in person, I want to ask him to meet the emperor and send a few adults to help us make medicine!"
thought that he had promised Bai Yi that he would not reveal his identity, so Tang Mian could only say that he had found the prescription.
Fang Yishu absolutely trusted Tang Mian, and he didn't take it to heart when he heard her say this.
After half a pillar of incense, Fang Yi counted into the palace to face the saint.
Only then did I enter the imperial study and found that Lord Cao of Dali Temple was also there.
I couldn't help but feel nervous.
Lord Cao has always had a political disagreement with his father-in-law.
Even he didn't like it.
"Aiqing, but you have something to say?" The emperor asked.
Fang Yishu hurriedly knelt down and told him about Tang Mian's willingness to sacrifice pills.
"Your Majesty, Miss Tang is willing to donate all the medicinal materials under her name to make pills, and I implore the emperor to send someone from the Tai Hospital to help make pills!"
When the emperor sitting on the dragon chair heard this, he stood up excitedly, "Okay! I really didn't expect there to be such a strange woman in the world! Haigong passed on my will, so that the people of Tai Hospital would all assist Tang Mian Pharmaceutical! ”
Seeing that the emperor's dragon heart was happy, Fang Yishu had the courage to continue: "Your Majesty, Miss Tang wants to ask the emperor to pardon the sins of the Phoenix Village and others. said that most of the medicinal materials in her hands were donated by people from Phoenix Village. ”
The emperor frowned, Phoenix Village is very close to the imperial city, often robbing passing merchants and killing many people.
The imperial court encircled and suppressed dozens of times, but it could not be captured.
Now that they have donated so many medicinal materials at the time of national crisis, it can be seen that people are not bad.
If they can be pardoned, it will be cost-effective.
Fang Yishu saw that the imperial city was silent, and guessed what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, Wechen has investigated Boss Hu of Phoenix Village, and has adopted 3,045 homeless children in the past ten years, although they are full of evil, but they are not big traitors, if they dare to do bad things after pardoning, Wechen will definitely not let them go!"
A group of mountain bandits adopted so many children?
It's-
"Your Majesty, Weichen can also testify. The people of Phoenix Village raise a lot of children. Their big boss, Boss Hu, even rescued more than 50 children up the mountain a few days ago. The Dali Temple who was standing on the side suddenly spoke.
It's a little strange to let Fang count it.
In the past, he wanted to kill what he said, but now what is the situation.
"Good! Since Lord Chao also spoke to Fenghuang Village, then I will forgive them all their sins! ”
Lord Chao: "The emperor and the gods! ”
Fang Yi counted: "The emperor is benevolent!" ”
The two spoke in unison.
The emperor remembered that they did not agree, so he ordered them to keep an eye on the matter of refining pills.
In the evening, before the sun set, Tang Mian brought a table of good dishes to the table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, these meals are made with dry goods that we have in store. From left to right, steamed salted fish, roast chicken with bean drums, fried ham meat, and cured pork ribs......"
The epidemic has lasted for three months now, not to mention ordinary people's homes, even the emperor has two meals a day, only eating some pickles and rice.
Fang Yishu was okay, Lord Chao saw that they could eat such a delicious meal, thinking of the emperor's white rice every day, it was difficult to swallow.
"Lord Chao, what's the matter? Is it bad for a little woman to cook a meal? Or are you? ”
Lord Chao is a straight man, so he bluntly said that he wanted to share weal and woe with the emperor.
As rumored, he is a loyal minister.
"That Lord Chao, I still have a lot of dried vegetables and ham meat at home, why don't you send it to the emperor tomorrow, I'll write down the dishes, and you can let the people in the imperial dining room do it." Tang Mian said kindly.
Chao quickly shook his head.
How can the emperor's precious body eat such peasant dishes that can't be put on the table.
For the next few days, no matter what they cooked, he really only ate white rice.
Seeing this, Tang Mian was very helpless in his heart.
However, I watched as more and more pills were made and distributed to everyone.
Her heart, which was hanging in mid-air, finally hit the ground.
But before she could be happy, news came from the white clothes and them, saying that she didn't have enough medicinal herbs.
Fang Yishu and Lord Chao didn't dare to hide it, and immediately reported it to the emperor.
They demanded that all the herbs of the pharmacists be expropriated and that they be compensated in the future.
When Prime Minister Xu heard this, he was the first to come forward to oppose it.
"Your Majesty, now that several prefectures and counties near the imperial city have eradicated the epidemic, it is better to let Miss Tang disclose the prescription, and then allocate a ratio of silver money to various places, so that the siege of the epidemic can be solved as soon as possible."
"The minister seconded the proposal, and the prime minister was right! It is better to make the prescription public. ”
……
When the adults heard this, they were immediately a little unhappy.
admonished: "Your Majesty, this prescription was found by Miss Tang from the old man at all costs, and she donated so many medicinal materials at least worth more than a million taels of silver, we can't force her to announce the prescription!" ”
Prime Minister Xu glanced at him, "Your Majesty, Miss Tang has a bodhisattva heart, I believe she is willing to disclose the prescription." ”
After speaking, he looked at his son-in-law Fang Yishu and motioned for him to hurry up and say something.
Fang Yishu was also very embarrassed in his heart, the reason why his father-in-law put forward such suggestions was to suppress the four major families headed by the Du family.
They now concentrate on sending medicinal materials to the imperial city, and they can make tens of thousands of pills in a day, and once the prescription is made public, they will also send various imperial doctors who understand the ancient method to the local refining pills.
All the tools needed for refining had to be recrafted.
It's really not cost-effective to work hard and lose money.
Seeing that Fang Yishu was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly played the emperor: "Your Majesty, why don't we ask Miss Tang to come and ask." ”
Half an hour later, Tang Mian finally saw the rumored emperor, who was really upright and mighty. He is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people.
Thinking that he would die of illness in three years, the prince kissed the villain Yuan Xianchen after he took the throne, which made the people miserable. In order to raise money, he also accepted the advice of Prime Minister Xu and his party and began to buy and sell official positions...... Her heart ached.
"Tang Mian, would you like to disclose the prescription for the treatment of the epidemic?" The emperor in the Jinluan Palace asked.
Tang Mian hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, the people are willing to disclose the prescription." ”
