Chang Qianfo understood what Jiang Yue meant, the two evils are the opposite, and it depends on which one to choose.

Now that the flood has just passed, the plague has risen, and it is time to use money and people.

Jiang Yue, as the master of the hall, was right to make such a decision.

But he is also a healer, and it must be uncomfortable to watch the epidemic spread day by day, and let it happen even though he could have prevented it.

Shen Yin said: "I remember that last year, Huai Ren Tang applied for the addition of a housing estate and the renovation of the equipment of the cooked medicine center, and Uncle Ling approved it.

However, because Mr. Zhao had been busy with the settlement at the end of the year, the silver was not allocated in time, so Huairentang moved the treasury silver cushion. Can there be supplies in the back? ”

Several stewards secretly sighed that Chang Qianfo had a good memory, there were hundreds of medicine halls in Changjiabao, and the big and small affairs were accumulated, and he even remembered such trivial things that were not in his own hands clearly.

Jiang Yue said: "I will make up for it at the beginning of the New Year." At present, the treasury reserves are sufficient, but after the floods, nearly half of the victims were homeless, not to mention paying for medicine, and even relying on relief for three meals.

I asked the account office yesterday and found that in addition to the large amount of money purchased recently, it is difficult to maintain the balance of income and expenditure just by the daily consumption of rice, grain and medicine.

If this development continues, the treasury will only not be able to enter and exit, and I am afraid that it will not last long. I have already handed over the loan slip to the Qiantang Jiangnan General Affairs Office, hoping that the other side can be accommodating as appropriate. ”

It is relatively easy to allocate medicinal materials between the halls, but it is necessary to seal half an acre of halls to move accounts with each other.

Luoyang is thousands of miles away, so let the general account be handed over to Luoyang for approval, and then sent back, and a month has passed. It's definitely too late in time.

The Qiantang General Affairs Office is located in Jiangnan, coordinating and coordinating the affairs of major pharmacies in Jiangnan, and has certain authority, but it may not be able to help much in terms of money and silver allocation.

Chang Qianfo said: "Don't worry about this, in extraordinary times, adding a private seal is the same." ”

Jiang Yue's heart was slightly relieved.

Chang Qianfo is the son, he said that he wanted to adjust the silver, and the masters of the halls must still buy it.

Chang Qianfo asked again: "Can you ask the nearby medicine hall to send reinforcements?" ”

Jiang Yue said: "The day before yesterday, I sent someone to Gu'an Tang to adjust the medicine, and I learned that Jiankang also had signs of the epidemic, so Lao Mo allocated two truckloads of medicinal materials to send it to the emergency, but he didn't dare to move lightly in terms of manpower.

I have sent people to Gusu Chongde Hall and Yangzhou Shangyi Hall, but it will take time to go back and forth, and I estimate that the people sent by Lao Li and Lao Du to reinforce should arrive in three days. ”

"How much of the corresponding medicinal materials are still in the warehouse?"

Jiang Yue said: "There are still three days. Beyondsoft went out of town to buy more.

I also wrote to the Elixir Valley and the medicine Zhuangzi in Changzhou.

Changzhou has not yet replied, but the eldest lady has replied, there are sixteen truckloads of medicinal materials from the Elixir Valley, and they are on the way to escort, and they will arrive at noon tomorrow. ”

Chang Qianfo nodded: "Urge Changzhou's medicine Zhuangzi again." Let Zhu Xuan put down the affairs of Zhuangzi first and personally take charge of the procurement of medicinal materials in Huairentang. Do not break the inventory. ”

Jiang Yue responded: "Yes." He turned around and told Fu Xiu: "You can do this." ”

Fu Xiu hurriedly responded.

As he spoke, he had reached the council chamber.

The guys who were in charge of sprinkling and sweeping the tea were all sent out to help, and Chen Xiaoji, the steward of the East Pharmacy, personally went to pour water, because there was no fire, but it was cold tea.

Chang Qianfo didn't care.

He heard the news of the plague in Chuzhou halfway, and turned back all the way, and after arriving, he first rescued people, and then convened all the housekeepers to discuss urgently, and he didn't drink a sip of water.

I was also thirsty, so I drank the cold tea three times in a row.

While listening to the house managers come forward one by one to report the situation.

Occasionally, I ask two sentences out loud, I don't talk much, but the questions are all on the point.

A few stewards did not dare to think of fooling and being lazy. lest the young proprietor take it lightly, he typed the draft of the matters to be reported several times in his mind and confirmed everything, so he stepped forward and refined the practical difficulties, personal suggestions and related pros and cons.

Chang Qianfo listened carefully, occasionally raised objections, or turned back to ask Ling Fu's opinion, and most of the charters were drafted with the opinions of the stewards.

Fu Xiu listened to Chang Qianfo on the side, and there was a lot of respect in his heart.

The prince has a heart and a valley, and he is steady and not boring. And it is very familiar in the way of the royal people, only from the big picture, and does not interfere too much in the details of the branches and leaves.

There is a beating in the words, and there is also the meaning of trusting and relying on the stewards to let them go to work.

Fu Xiu was even more deeply touched by Jiang Yue's words at this time, and doing things well is completely different from letting others do things well.

Fu Xiu felt that he still had a lot to learn.

It was already dark when the discussion was over.

A young girl in a pea-green crepe dress picked up a lantern to greet her.

The night breeze blew the skirt fluttering, and the figure was more and more graceful and slender like a wicker. The green silk was wrapped with a lake-green ribbon from behind the ears to the ends of the hair, and a long handful was dragged to the chest, hanging down to the waist.

The eyebrows are curved like the moon, and Yingying smiles lightly, like a fairy Chang'e walking with a lantern from the moon.

He called at Chang Qianfo sweetly: "Brother Chang." ”

Chang Qianfo's eyes paused slightly, then turned back to Jiang Yue and smiled: "This is... Still? ”

A young man jumped out from behind the boulder and shouted, "And me!" ”

Daxing stepped forward a few steps, hugged Chang Qianfo and slapped him on the back: "Good brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Jiang Yue lowered his face, his tone was not very harsh, and there was a little reproach: "Jiang Fan, there is no humility." ”

Chang Qianfo returned Jiang Fan's hand, turned around and smiled: "Uncle Jiang, where are you talking about this?" Jiang Fan is my brother, Yiyi is my own sister, although we are not related, but we are like relatives, where is there any respect and inferiority? ”

Jiang Yiyi stood under the moonlight with a lantern, smiling gently, and his expression was slightly sluggish when he heard the words, and then he smiled lightly and said, "Brother Chang hasn't eaten yet, right?" ”

Chang Qianfo smiled: "As soon as you say it, you're really a little hungry." ”

Everyone went to the dining room to eat.

Jiang Yiyi walked in front with a lantern, Chang Qianfo and Jiang Fan hooked their shoulders all the way, talking and laughing non-stop, which surprised Fu Xiu and the other stewards.

The steady and strict prince suddenly seemed to be a different person, but it still made people feel that there was nothing wrong with this.

Fu Xiu remembered Jiang Fan's words again, Gongzi is really a person who can't see the bottom and can't see through.

Meals are served in a few moments.

A bowl of chicken in a casserole, a large plate of beef mixed with sauce, a bowl of coriander and fried pigeon, a steamed anchovie, a pot of simmered meat with fresh bamboo shoots, eight treasure tofu, four-color mushrooms, and five or six seasonal vegetables, the bowls are crowded together on a large and square table of varnish for guests.

The color is attractive, the fragrance is fragrant, and it hooks the gluttonous worms in the stomach.

If it is usual, Huairentang will have no problem setting up such a table. But now when the anti-plague is tense, the kitchen stove does not stop boiling water and medicine for a moment, and the drinking meals in the hall are simple, and even Jiang Yue only has one dish and one soup, so it is really rare to be able to eat such a sumptuous evening feast at this time.

Chang Qianfo smiled and beckoned everyone to the table, and asked someone to serve a pot of tea, and said:

"I am in charge of everything with everyone present," he glanced at Fu Xiu, and then said: "There is also this master, some are meeting for the first time, and some are reunited after many years of acquaintance and long absence, all of which are happy events."

Today, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and replace wine with tea to thank you for your hard work.

On the day of his victory against the plague, he will reward the strong man with wine and meat, and have a hearty drink with everyone, not drunk. ”
