Xingping County, Xipingfang.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty."

Early in the morning, Xiao Yun came to the camp with a group of officials from Xingping County, and hurriedly bowed after seeing the empress.

During this time, she has been busy dealing with the official affairs of Xingping County, mobilizing resources, preventing and controlling blood epidemics, pacifying people's hearts and other affairs are all in charge of her, presiding over the overall situation in the real sense, and she is so busy every day that she doesn't even have time to meet the emperor.

It's only today that it's been a little more relaxed.

Jiang Chengwan waved her hand.

"Xiao Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, let's be even."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone got up one after another, but only Xiao Yun raised his head alone, and the other officials all lowered their heads in tacit understanding, not daring to look at the true face of the empress.

lest you show any ugliness.

You must know that today's saints are peerless beauty, with their determination that even the vulgar fans of the land of wind and moon can hardly resist, if they take a few more looks, I am afraid that they will commit the crime of disgrace in front of the king on the spot.

Not to mention the empress, even Lord Xiao didn't dare to take a second look.

Although Lord Xiao treats people kindly, he has never said anything serious since he came to Xingping County, and he seems to be very talkative, but his identity is there, and if these little people accidentally offend, the ghost knows what will happen.

Since the lower body is not easy to manage, it is better to control the eyes from the beginning.

As long as you don't look around, you won't make a mistake and offend.

Da Da...

Xiao Yun stepped forward slowly and asked, "Your Majesty, Huai... What about Lu Shangshu? ”

Jiang Chengwan glanced at the entrance of the ward on the side, and said lightly: "He taught the doctors of the Green Capsule Division to treat the people in the ward, and it will take a while to come out, Xiao Aiqing will wait a while." ”

Xiao Yun came over this time because Lu Chen said that he had something important to discuss, and when he heard Jiang Chengwan say this, he nodded.

"No."

As she spoke, she moved her steps and stood beside Jiang Chengwan with Chai Hongyu.

After a while, Xiao Yun asked again, "Your Majesty, has Lu Shangshu found a way to completely cure the blood plague?" ”

When the words fell, there was a sense of hope in her eyes.

In the words, there is a slight imperceptible trill.

That is a blood plague that has made countless people with lofty ideals in all dynasties helpless!

Even cultivators are not immune to the terrifying spiritual disaster, I don't know how many living beings have died here for thousands of years, but no one has ever been able to develop a cure, so they can only barely manage it to prevent it from spreading.

She is an important minister of the former dynasty, with a rich resume and outstanding political achievements, including the treatment of the blood epidemic, and her performance in the treatment of the blood epidemic is extremely outstanding, and the first emperor even issued three holy decrees to commend her.

However, she refused the ensuing reward, no matter what the emperor said, even if it was disrespectful, she did not accept any reward.

Because, that time to preside over the treatment of the blood epidemic was the shadow of her life.

personally ordered the officers and soldiers to block all the blood-plagued areas, and drive them to the designated areas to fend for themselves, regardless of whether they were infected with the blood-plagued or not;

I witnessed the people in the epidemic area being infected one after another, and then dying in despair in the midst of extremely painful struggles, until it was determined that there was not a single living mouth in all the places where the plague aura might exist;

In the end, a fire burned everything, and I watched the scorched earth return to Beijing......

It stands to reason that the Jeju Xiao family, who was born in one of the five surnames of the Great Xia Dynasty, has been up and down in the sea for 20 years, and she should have practiced a hard-hearted heart a long time ago, but the fact is that until today, she has not been able to completely come out.

In terms of controlling the blood epidemic, she is not the most ruthless, on the contrary, she is already relatively gentle, and the real ruthless people will not let the officers and soldiers expel the people at all, but directly use the Burning Sky Array to turn all the blood epidemic outbreak areas into scorched earth within a radius of 100 miles.

But even so, she occasionally wakes up in brutal nightmares and then sleeps through the night.

Now that she heard that Lu Chen had successfully rescued a cultivator, how could she be indifferent?

Jiang Chengwan didn't notice the slightest strangeness in her at this time, and replied casually: "Well, the day before yesterday, Lu Qing used a knife to break open the chest of a sick female cultivator in the ethereal instrument, took out the plague spirit aggregation from it, and then applied the suture technique, which can remove the direct threat of the blood explosion to the human body." ”

"After fundamentally solving the blood explosion, you only need to repair and continuously nourish the spiritual veins, supplemented by drugs that help the recovery of the five organs, and you can gradually be cured."

Although she didn't know how Lu Chen came up with the unheard-of treatment method of disemboweling a living person, the principle was actually not complicated, Lu Chen explained it a little, and she, a person who didn't know how to medicine, could easily understand it.

It's not a hard task to explain.

Hearing this, Xiao Yun's eyes lit up slightly, she was already talented and intelligent, so she naturally quickly understood the principle of Lu Chen's healing method.

"How could you think of such a means......"

You must know that this method sounds simple, but after all, there is no precedent for this, going from zero to one is the most difficult step, and Lu Chen is willing to risk blood explosion to verify it himself......

The latter alone is already extremely valuable.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

I have to say that in addition to cultivation, Lu Chen is too much stronger than her.

Talent, ability, character...... In every aspect, he was almost too good as a courtier.

Every time she saw him, Xiao Yun always had a feeling of unreality.

It's perfect!

Of course, no one is perfect, and in Xiao Yun's opinion, Lu Chen is not without shortcomings.

For example, they are too brainless and don't know how to be flexible;

For example, a certain aspect is ridiculously dull, and it is too incomprehensible.

But compared to his near-perfect talent and conduct, this is a shortcoming that I don't know if it is a shortcoming, strictly speaking, it seems a little inconspicuous.

Thinking about it, his thoughts inexplicably drifted to the scene when Lu Chen had just come to prominence.

Upright, not afraid of power, sticking to her heart, never wavering, treating death as home, Lu Chen's existence seems to be interpreting the real way of being an official, just like her fantasy when she was not in the office......

Xiao Yun couldn't help but be a little distracted.

However, after all, she is an important minister of the two dynasties who has gone through the sea of eunuchs, although her age is too young compared to most of the ministers of the Pillar Kingdom, but her resume is not much worse than that of the old minister, and she has experienced so many things, her state of mind is naturally impossible to be like a little girl who is just beginning to fall in love.

In just a moment, she came back to her senses, and then while reporting to Jiang Chengwan on her latest official business, she waited for Lu Chen to come out.

And just when she talked about the residual breath of monsters in Xingping County-

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a muffled noise in the room.

Xiao Yun's face froze, and he subconsciously condensed the surging spiritual power in his body.

"This is..."

Jiang Chengwan's expression was calm, as if she was accustomed to this.

"Bloodburst."

She said lightly.

Xiao Yun's expression changed slightly.

The blood explosion was terrifying, not only the explosion, but also the rapid spread of the plague aura after the explosion was also extremely dangerous.

She subconsciously wanted to remind her, but Jiang Chengwan, who was still calm, took her hand and took the initiative to explain: "Xiao Aiqing, don't panic, after the blood tumor is removed, it will explode within a few breaths, but the blood explosion of ordinary people is far from that of cultivators, and it can be directly dealt with with with the defense circle of the middle rank, now that the blood explosion has started, it seems that Lu Qing will come out soon." ”

Hearing this, the solemn look on Xiao Yun's face suddenly dissipated.

"I see."

As if to confirm Jiang Chengwan's words, the door of the ward was opened after half a cup of tea, and then Lu Chen, Liyue, Liu Ruowei, and other medical officers from the Green Bag Bureau, who looked rather tired, rushed out.

"Do you remember them all?"

When he walked out, Lu Chen rubbed his temples that were becoming more and more swollen and painful, and said to the people beside him: "Before going under the knife, you must first use an endoscope to observe clearly and determine the condition in the patient's body; When using the knife, you must be cautious, your hands must be steady, your heart must be careful, and you must not touch the major arteries and other internal organs, and the knife used must be a spirit blade, and its carrier must go through the evil magic circle, to ensure that neither you nor the knife have any evil spirit before you can do it. ”

"Ordinary people's physiques are different from cultivators, and the meridian system is obviously different, so the treatment methods adopted are also different, so you must not be confused......

He took the trouble to repeat what he had just been taught in the ward, and the medical officer on the side did not show the slightest impatience, but kept nodding his head, memorizing every point he had said, and writing it down in the small notebook he carried with him.

Leaving the ward, as soon as everyone saw Jiang Chengwan, they paid their respects one after another.

Jiang Chengwan waved her hand, signaling everyone to excuse herself, and then looked at Lu Chen.

"Lu Qing, how is the situation?"

Lu Chen arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the medical officer who came from the Green Capsule Bureau this time has roughly mastered this method, and he can be ordered to leave the division immediately and go to various wards to treat the people." ”

When the words fell, Liu Ruowei and others also agreed.

Although it was just a live teaching, I am not sure what will happen when I really start it, after all, it is the first time, it is a matter of human life, and no one can pat their chests to guarantee that they will succeed.

But even if it's hard-headed, they have to go.

After all, there is simply no time for them to slowly practice mastery.

There are too many people infected with blood plague in Xingping County, these patients are facing the risk of blood explosion all the time, although Lu Shangshu has the courage to do things and does it himself, but he is only one person after all, and there are thousands of infected people, even if he is tired to death, he can't be busy.

In this case, let alone let them practice for two and a half years, it would be nice to have a few live demonstrations.

Moreover, there are only a few dozen medical officers from their Qingbao Bureau this time, and there are also not enough manpower, so after they master the method of surgery, they must teach the medical officers of Qingningwei as soon as possible, so as to solve the problem of insufficient manpower.

"In that case, it should be without further ado."

Jiang Chengwan took out a token from her arms and handed it to Liu Ruowei.

"Liu Aiqing, I have appointed you as a special envoy for the treatment of the epidemic, and the commander-in-chief can freely dispatch the Qingning Wei military doctor and mobilize the Xingping County Treasury for all matters related to the treatment of the people, and if there are other supplements, you can ask Xiao Ge Lao at any time."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Yun on the side.

"Xiao Aiqing, I bother you to take more care and fully assist Liu Aiqing to save the people of Xingping County."

Xiao Yun bowed and responded, "No." ”

Liu Ruowei stepped forward with a solemn expression, knelt down on one knee, and took the golden token in Jiang Chengwan's hand.

"Wechen will live up to His Majesty's trust."

In the etiquette of the monarchs and ministers of Great Xia, kneeling is very rare, and when you usually meet the emperor, you only need to bow down and bow your hands, and only when you are given a symbolic symbol, a symbolic of the supreme imperial power, a charm, a festival, a decree, a sword, an axe, and a yue, you need to kneel.

As a top talented woman in the famous capital, Liu Ruowei will naturally not be rude at such an important moment.

When she first entered the officialdom, she got the imperial decree from the emperor, which was not only a heavy responsibility for her, but also an extremely rare opportunity.

Only by climbing to a higher position and making the status of the Green Capsule Bureau even higher, can she get more resources and better realize the pursuit of medical Taoism, as well as... Live up to the grace of Lu Shangshu's knowledge!

Soon, the medical officer of the Green Capsule Bureau took the order and left, and only Liu Ruowei stayed.

After the medical officer left, Lu Chen, Jiang Chengwan and the others came to a makeshift tent not far away.

It is impossible for Lu Chen to do everything himself, in his position, he has more important things to do than to act as a doctor to save the people himself, and because of this, he has no opinion at all about the empress handing over the responsibility of saving the people to Liu Ruowei, and he didn't say a word the whole process.

Now that he has found a cure and taught it to a true healer, there is no need for him to be a half-man.

The tent is a handsome tent built by Qingningwei with military materials, and it is full of military style.

Jiang Chengwan sat on the main seat, Lu Chen sat on the lower left, Xiao Yun sat opposite Lu Chen, Liu Ruowei sat next to Xiao Yun, and Chai Hongyu, the former anti-thief leader, stood behind Jiang Chengwan and acted as a guard with a knife in front of the palace.

"Lu Qing."

As soon as she sat down, Jiang Chengwan took the lead and said, "What is the biggest problem in the matter of the blood epidemic? ”

"As expected."

Lu Chen took a sip of water, and then said in a deep voice: "Although the hematoma can be removed by surgery, the hematoma absorbs most of the essence and blood of the human body, and the sick person will inevitably fall into a state of extreme weakness after resection, and must use a large amount of supplements to make up for the deficit in the body." ”

"The people infected with the blood epidemic in Xingping County are conservatively estimated to be nearly 10,000 people, and the Shang Pharmacy doesn't know if it can be taken out of such a huge drug expenditure, and even if it can be taken out, the current situation of the national treasury is ......."

At this point, it came to an abrupt end.

At the end of the day, it's about money.

Although the treasury of Great Xia is now out of the deficit, it is not rich enough to lose casually.

Great Xia is too big, 100,000 miles from north to south, full of places to spend money, although now with the empress in power and Lu Chen began to gradually implement the new policy, but it is impossible to have significant results in just one year, at most it can only change Gyeonggi and some provinces directly under the central government.

With such a large amount of expenditure suddenly, Wu Yue, who had just been rich for a few days, was afraid that he would not be going to roll around in the Wuji Palace.

Jiang Chengwan groaned and asked, "Isn't the money in the house enough?" ”

Lu Chen shook his head.

"Enough is enough, but Your Majesty's internal funds are related to the operation of the new royal industry, and sufficient funds must be kept in case of emergency, now is a critical period for starting, and the royal industry is related to the new policy, and it cannot be easily used unless it is absolutely necessary."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help frowning and thinking about it.

"And..."

However, before she could think of a feasible way, Lu Chen spoke again.

"In addition to medicinal materials, there is actually a key issue to be solved."

I saw him sitting in a precarious position, and said with a serious expression: "After the plague aura enters the body, due to the absorption of the aura, almost all ordinary people's physique is forcibly changed by the blood tumor, forming the prototype of the spirit vein, after the blood tumor is removed, the spirit vein will not disappear with it, if it is left alone, even if there is no threat of blood explosion, they will die because the spirit vein is completely depleted, so ......"

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, his tone becoming rather bitter.

"In addition to a large number of great supplements, it is also necessary to build a large-scale spirit gathering array and spirit pool, consume a large number of spirit stones to maintain the operation of the large array, and forcibly refine the spiritual energy to nourish the rudiments of the spiritual veins in the patient's body, until the spiritual veins are completely activated, so that they can become cultivators and be able to absorb and refine the spiritual qi by themselves."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan's face couldn't help but change slightly.

At the same time, it nourishes tens of thousands of quasi-cultivators, or quasi-martial artists' spiritual veins......

How many spirit stones do you need?

Isn't this going to empty the treasury?

It is easy to say that the Mithril, Adamantite Gold, and Talisman to build a large array are not complicated formations, and the spirit pool is also easy to say, but maintaining the operation of the Spirit Gathering Array requires the consumption of a large number of spirit stones.

Now most of the spirit stones come from the secret realm, and more than half of the secret realm is in the hands of the Xungui family, and the spirit stones produced by the imperial court are a little reluctant to maintain the operation of the huge empire, this is still the situation after Lu Chen took power, and it was even more difficult before.

Where can I find so many spirit stones in a short period of time?

It also takes time to transport spirit stones.

You must know that it is not easy to preserve spirit stones, and it is even more difficult to transport them, even more difficult than transporting grain.

Unless you rob those noble clans who have mastered the spirit stones...

Well?

Grab the honor?

Jiang Chengwan's mind inexplicably came up with a series of problems found when Lu Chen was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Works a year ago, when he went to the construction site to inspect the Wuji Palace project, as well as an unsolved case involved due to the abnormal loss of spiritual materials and the trace of waste materials.

At this thought, she suddenly narrowed her eyes.

At this moment, she seemed to have figured out something, and her eyes became a little subtle.

Lu Chen didn't care about the strange look on her face at this time, and continued: "Save people to the end, no matter what, the imperial court must collect as many spirit stones as possible." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yun immediately understood why Lu Chen made a special trip to let her come over for a meeting.

She didn't directly refuse to say that it was impossible, nor did she complain that Lu Chen gave her a problem, but pondered for a while before asking:

"Lu Shangshu, do you have any plans?"

Chai Hongyu and Liu Ruowei also looked at Lu Chen.

"I have an immature idea."

Lu Chen turned his head, looked at Xiao Yun, and said softly: "Xiao Ge is well-informed and intelligent, and I also ask Xiao Ge Lao Gang to consult in detail to see if there is any possibility of implementation." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan couldn't help but put away her thoughts and looked at Lu Chen with curiosity.

He originally thought that Lu Chen was just asking questions today and letting her, the emperor, help solve them.

Unexpectedly, he had already come up with a countermeasure.

In her impression, although Lu Chen is a good learner and has outstanding ability, he is a gentleman and a gentleman who solves problems in an upright manner.

This is the case of Xia Yan, the case of the two states of water control, and the same is true of the Wasteland incident, so I haven't seen him show any strategy.

And now, the problem of money is there, no matter how reckless he is, he can't make money, Jiang Chengwan can't figure out what Lu Chen can think of.

Xiao Yun smiled slightly, and said softly, "Lu Shangshu, please speak." ”

Lu Chen cleared his throat and slowly spoke: "I think that we can start from the price of spirit stones and make a bureau in the land of Gyeonggi. ”

"Doing a game?"

Chai Hongyu's head tilted, a little incomprehensible.

"Lord Governor, do you want to lower the price of spirit stones and then buy them aggressively?"

Xiao Yun didn't speak, but carefully pondered Lu Chen's words.

Starting from the price, we will lay out in the land of Gyeonggi

has been in a high position all the year round, so she naturally doesn't understand what a game is, but she doesn't know what game Lu Chen is going to do, how to do it, and who to do.

After a moment, her mind suddenly moved.

Although there are a lot of spirit stones in the land of Gyeonggi, they may not be able to meet the needs of such a large-scale spirit gathering array, so for the sake of safety, we must find a way to let the spirit stones from other places also flow into the Jingshi.

And the price can't be high, otherwise the court can't afford it.

Therefore, it is necessary not only to let the spirit stone merchants from other places take the initiative to transport the spirit stone to the capital division, but also to make them willing to sell it at a low price, even if the imperial court is on credit

It's almost impossible to do both.

Just driving them to transport spirit stones to the Jingshi to sell them was already extremely difficult, not to mention anything else.

unless

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Chen shook his head and said indifferently: "No, I want to raise the price of spirit stones in Gyeonggi as much as possible, and purchase a large number of spirit stones in the name of the Ministry of Industry, no matter how expensive they are." ”

"Huh?"

Chai Hongyu was momentarily stunned. (End of chapter)
