Chapter 259: The Kid Still Wants to Smuggle?
As an imperial prince, Shangguan Yue does not need to be in prison, but he needs to be "invited" by Gao Yong to live in the backyard of the Criminal Department for half a year, and by the way, he has to compensate Qinglan 100,000 taels of silver.
Although this amount of money may not be a big deal to Prince Gong's Mansion, what is more important than silver is face.
When Shangguan Li heard about this, he was growing vegetables in the courtyard of the Jingtang, to be precise, herbs that could be used for cooking.
The poisonous wounds on the emperor's body are basically almost adjusted, and some milder methods need to be used in the next few months, and medicinal diet is a good choice.
As for why it is not planted in the Tai Hospital, on the one hand, it is because the land of the Tai Hospital is too expensive, and every inch of land exists for some kind of rare medicinal herb, and there is no place to make room.
On the other hand, it is also the main reason.
Shangguan Li has some selfish intentions, and most people in this world are still stuck in the concept that "medicine is unpalatable".
The medicinal diets called in the palace are just ordinary nourishing bodies, and the effect is not great. But what she grows is different, the medicine is stronger, and long-term eating can also strengthen the body.
Although she is not sure of the taste yet, once she is completed, she can become a signboard of the medicine hall. At that time, Yaotang can even take this opportunity to attract the emperor's attention.
She picked a small fresh tomato from the small greenhouse, wiped it with a clean cloth, and threw it directly into her mouth.
"I see, then why don't you go to the criminal department to see your sister?"
With a smile on his face, following her was Shangguan Bu, who heard this.
"Fourth sister, I don't have any friendship. Eh, third sister, for the sake of my hard work to inform you of the news, you can introduce me to you. ”
Shangguan Li looked at him with a smile.
"Referral what?"
"Hmph, I'm not stupid."
Shangguan Bu pulled the arm of his third sister, and his eyes flashed with shrewdness.
"Every time my shop is in a life-or-death situation, it's the same people who help me. I don't know once or twice, but there are many times, and even I can realize that it is the person of Thirteen Incense. ”
As he spoke, the smile on his face became more and more flattering.
"Oh, if I can connect with Thirteen Incense, my grand cause will have a chance to be displayed!"
Shangguan Li shook off his hand and walked to the pavilion to sit down and rest.
"First of all, even if you don't come to the door, Shangguan Yue's little thing has already been stormy in the city, and I will know sooner or later."
She was very ruthless.
"And what kind of grand cause do you have, that is, to transport a batch of goods around the Great Zhou?"
Speaking of this, Shangguan Bu's tone suddenly became serious.
"Nowadays, the imperial court collects high checkpoint taxes on goods, and many merchants can only guard their own one-third of an acre. Because of this, some things are different in one place and different in another. ”
He even talked eloquently.
"So, third sister, you think. Except for a few very expensive teas, the price is generally low. But as far as I know, in the remote places of Yunnan, the west and the north, tea is more expensive than gold. ”
Shangguan Li was a little interested, but there was no special reaction on his face.
"It is because I know this idea of yours that the imperial court has set tariffs. What does this have to do with thirteen incense? ”
"Sister, doesn't you know that the imperial court has issued a pass to everyone who is famous all over the world, Thirteen Incense?"
The more Shangguan Bu spoke, the more excited he became.
"I know you want to say that the pass is not valid for those types with a big price difference between the two places, but we can also mix the two together and sort them out when we get there."
Shangguan Li understood that this simple eldest son, who was about to cringe for a long time when he was stared at, actually came up with a way to smuggle without a teacher.
And there is no psychological burden at all.
She smiled, but her tone involuntarily became cold.
"Nope."
Shangguan Bu was stunned for a moment.
"Such a huge profit, will no one have tried it for so many years? Why is it that so few people take such an obvious path? Do you think that the merchants are law-abiding and good people? ”
Shangguan Bu was directly stunned by her question, and subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute. But he found that he didn't seem to have anything to say, and he was still excited for a while when he came up with the idea before.
But now that I think about it, it's really full of loopholes.
Seeing him hang his head, Shangguan Li slowed down his tone slightly.
"That path may work, but you certainly can't do it now. If you have this time to dream, it is better to think about how to gain a firm foothold in the capital first without relying on Thirteen Incense. ”
Shangguan Bu frowned when he left the quiet hall, and his previous image of being alive and jumping was completely different. Seeing that Situ thought he was being stimulated by something here.
"It's fine."
Shangguan Li took the tea handed over by Xitu, took a sip and said casually.
"It's just a lesson for a kid who doesn't know the height of the sky."
Situ: "......"
If she's not mistaken, Sister Ah seems to be a younger sister.
But she quickly put the innocuous thought behind and whispered.
"Sister, there is a patient over there who is difficult to solve, and you may need to go."
Shangguan Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded.
"Got it."
That night, Shangguan Li took advantage of the night to quietly enter a medicine hall in Nancheng that was not small and the lights were not extinguished all night.
The medicine hall is divided into several areas, where medicinal herbs are placed, where patients are treated, and where more serious patients rest.
It's like an ancient and humble version of a hospital.
About a month ago, the medicine hall was established and has completely made a name for itself in the capital. It is said that there is a medicine hall in the south of the city, which is not only cheap in medicinal materials, but also can cure many incurable diseases.
Life and death are bigger than the sky, and the front door of the medicine hall is full of people who want to see a famous doctor every day. However, the pharmacy can only accept no more than 10 people per day.
And the owner of the medicine hall has a very strange temper, and it all depends on his mood, most of the time he looks at the queue, and occasionally a lucky person is named and taken directly into the backyard.
Other than that, no matter how much money you give, it's no good thing.
Shangguan Li jumped into the backyard of "idlers are not allowed to enter" with ease, and Lian was already waiting.
"It's the poison of the seven-step snake."
Lian walked quickly while leading the way for Shangguan Li.
"Originally, we could cure it, but this person didn't know where he heard that there must be an antidote near the poisonous substance, so he pretended to be clever and ate a grass next to the seven-step snake."
"What grass?"
"It's not grass, it's a bamboo leaf insect that looks like grass."
Shangguan Li's eyebrows jumped.
That theory is correct, but the bamboo leaf insect is another highly poisonous thing, and the two are not mutually reinforcing, and when they are mixed together, the toxicity is more difficult to suppress.
At this moment, Lian pushed open the wooden door, and there were no more patients lying in the room who did not know life or death. There are also several people who are taking care of him.
