Chapter 239: The Silk Road of Profiteering
"Hey! It's miserable! Someone drank pesticides again! ”
On the streets of Kaifeng City, a car pulled a person and hurriedly sent him to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, and the people around him all shook their heads and sighed.
"It's a pity! It's definitely hopeless. ”
Some Kaifeng people shook their heads and sighed, since the promotion of pesticides, drinking pesticide poisoning has been common, some are hard-working people, more is a moment of anger, but no matter what the situation, drinking pesticides will rarely be saved, resulting in a series of tragic events, which is also the reason for the constant controversy between the government and the opposition over pesticides.
In the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, a group of doctors couldn't help but have a headache when they saw another pesticide poisoning person sent it.
The doctor's medical skills are used to treat the disease and save people, and they save some sick people, but these patients who drink pesticides are the most troublesome, some are bent on death, do not cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and some have the time to regret, but there is no chance to regret, but blame the doctor for not being proficient in medical skills, or the doctor pesticide causes death.
Fortunately, now that the doctor finally has a way to detoxify, Yang Jie saw that the patient was delivered, and immediately ordered.
"Go get soapy water! Use gastric lavage. ”
The method of gastric lavage has just been created by Fan Zheng, and now it is only a theory, and there is no time to experiment, so now it can only catch ducks on the shelves.
"Yes"
The entire TCM hospital is immediately on standby, and once the treatment is successful today, the doctors will completely get rid of the pesticide poisoning dilemma.
Soon, the soapy water was ready, and the doctors immediately forcibly controlled the foaming at the mouth, and the painful patient poured soapy water into his mouth.
"Gross!"
The retching smell of soapy water immediately irritated the patient's stomach, causing stomach cramps, spitting out almost all the contents of the stomach, and immediately filling the entire ward with a pungent pesticide smell.
"It works!"
Seeing a large amount of pesticides being spit out, Yang Jie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and induced the poison to vomit out, which meant that there was a possibility of life.
"Continue gastric lavage!"
Yang Jie didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered to dilute and neutralize the toxin as quickly as possible and then induce it to vomit, so that the patient could survive as much as possible.
At that moment, a group of doctors poured soapy water into the patient's mouth again, and then shook the patient's body violently, using inertia to make the soapy water wash away the poison in the patient's stomach as much as possible.
After several times, the patient vomited out no longer smelled of pesticides, so the doctor replaced the original soapy water with light salt water and rinsed the soapy water in the stomach again.
"That's it! Should have saved his life! ”
After the gastric lavage was completed, Yang Jie was relieved, and then he instructed the doctor to release the patient.
As soon as the patient was unrestrained, he lay on the hospital bed and retched, and finally even vomited bitter bile.
"I'll never drink medicine again." The patient said in pain.
She didn't think that gastric lavage was the most painful, and the taste of tumbling in her stomach made her never want to go through it a second time.
The doctors couldn't help but smile bitterly, they didn't expect that the method of gastric lavage to cure diseases and save people would have the effect of persuading people.
After gastric lavage, the patient gradually recovered, the method of gastric lavage can solve pesticide poisoning and finally got the real case verification, Di Bao hyped the method of gastric lavage to treat poisoning, the doctor immediately packed all the soap in Yizhuang, and supplied it to the world's doctors as an antidote.
Fan Zheng smiled bitterly, soap is a personal care product made by himself, and it is difficult to promote, he didn't expect that as an antidote, it would instantly become popular in the Great Song Dynasty.
Seeing this, Li Qingzhao immediately asked Yizhuang to expand soap production, and soap immediately became popular throughout the Great Song Dynasty.
With the popularization of gastric lavage, although folk poisoning incidents still occur repeatedly, the incidents of poisoning and death have been greatly reduced, and the dilemma of doctors has been solved.
After all, the advantages of the implementation of pesticides outweigh the disadvantages, and the doctors have added foul-smelling substances to the pesticides to remind the people, and then there is a gastric lavage method to treat it, which has achieved benevolence and righteousness.
……………………
"Qi Fan Taicheng, Liao Guo asked that the mirror and soap business also be added to the Silk Road Project."
Fan Zheng had just solved the matter of pesticide poisoning among the people, and immediately received officials from the Ministry of Rites to personally convey the requirements of the Liao State.
"The news of the Liao State is quite well-informed, and the Great Song Dynasty has just had two good things, and the Liao State came to the door." Fan Zheng shook his head and smiled.
Mirrors and soaps are rare things, once transported to the Western Regions will be profitable, silk tea and porcelain are large transactions, although the overall volume is large, the profit is not the highest, and mirrors and soap are new things, the Western Regions have no place at all, once it appears, it will be a million profits,
"Lord Cai Bian asked the villain to ask what Fan Taicheng meant?" The Ministry of Rites official asked.
It was Fan Zheng's chief envoy to discuss the Silk Road Plan with Liao, Cai Bian's deputy envoy, plus the glass and soap were all created by doctors, and Liao Guo wanted to join it in the Silk Road Project, so it was natural to consult Fan Zheng's intentions.
"Exactly! However, when it was supplied to Liao, the price of mirrors and soap was doubled as a tax for the Great Song Dynasty. Fan Zheng waved his hand.
"Double the price?" The person from the Ministry of Rites exclaimed.
The Great Song Dynasty has always been at a disadvantage in the face of the Liao State, and Fan Zheng directly doubled the price of the mirror and soap, if it annoys the Liao State, it should be good.
"Don't worry, just do it!" Fan Zheng is confident.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites reluctantly returned to the lobby of the Ministry of Rites and reported the matter to Cai Bian.
Cai Bian laughed when he heard this: "The imperial court has a lot of taxes, which is a great thing, and Fan Taicheng's kindness and etiquette department will naturally not refuse, so it will do what Fan Taicheng wants." ”
Soon, the Ministry of Rites reported the offer of mirrors and soap to Liao.
After the news came to Liao, the officials of Liaoguo were immediately indignant.
"The Great Song Dynasty deceived people too much, and the price of mirrors and soap was directly doubled, this is to take my Liao Kingdom as a big wrong!" Yelu Zhangnu said angrily. It's okay to say that the soap, especially the mirror is already expensive in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not a small amount to double it directly.
Yelu Yanxi's face was also displeased, he didn't like the Silk Road Project, but he didn't expect Song Guo to rub his nose on his face.
Yelu Nanyin frowned and said, "It is said that the mirror and soap were created by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and it was also his idea to double the price. ”
"The princess is wise!" Yelu Zhangnu said, he knew that Yelu Nanyin had a good impression of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and he just took this opportunity to let the princess evil the evil doctor Fan Zheng.
However, what he didn't expect was that Yelu Nanyin frowned when he heard this: "Since it was created by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, this thing must be popular in the Western Regions, and someone will sell this thing to the Western Regions at a price of five times." ”
"Five!"
The hundred officials of the Liao State couldn't help but exclaim, they originally thought that Fan Zheng was already dark enough, but they didn't expect Yelu Nanyin to be more ruthless, and directly let the mirror and soap increase the price by five times, so that the Liao State would not make more money, and they could no longer accuse the Great Song Dynasty of being insidious.
Yelu Nanyin said confidently: "Don't worry, mirrors and soaps are rare things, and there is no price for them, and those Hu merchants are darker, and they will be shipped to farther countries and even increase their prices by more than ten times and a hundred times." ”
"That's also cheaper Da Song! Otherwise, our Liao country will be able to obtain more lucrative profits. Yelu Yanxi said dissatisfied.
The purpose of the Liao State was to suppress the Great Song Dynasty, and making money was secondary, and the Great Song Dynasty was now not only exempted from the New Year's coins, but also earned a lot of money from the Liao State.
Yelu Nanyin said solemnly: "So far, the profit of the Silk Road of the Liao Kingdom is about 100,000 yuan per month, and if you add the benefits of mirrors and soap, I am afraid it will increase by another thirty percent, far more than the income of the New Year's coin." ”
"100,000!"
The hundred officials of the Liao State suddenly breathed a stagnation, 100,000 guan per month, even if the transportation is inconvenient in winter and the trade is reduced, it is nearly one million guan per year, if it is increased by three percent, it is as much as 1.3 million guan, and you must know that the annual income of the Liao State is only about 500,000 guan.
This does not include the economic stimulus of the Silk Road Plan for the Liao State, which spans thousands of miles from east to west and has a vast territory, while the main center of gravity has always been in the east, and the bonds of the Western ministries are not deep, while the Silk Road Plan also spans the east and west, allowing the Liao to strengthen its jurisdiction over the western ministries.
Although the suppression of the Great Song Dynasty was relaxed, for the Liao State, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, which not only had a steady stream of financial resources, but also made the Liao State stable in the country.
"Nanyin is doing a good job! The two countries have been peaceful for a hundred years, and it is really not appropriate to have disputes again. Yelu Hongji said loudly.
"Imperial grandfather is reasonable! The Silk Road Plan will benefit both countries if they work together, and if they divide them, they will lose both, so it is natural that peace should be precious. Yelu Nanyin said happily.
The hundred officials of the Liao State couldn't help frowning, the income of one million guan is indeed exciting, but the suppression of the Great Song Dynasty is equally important to the Liao State, but Yelu Hongji actually relaxed the suppression of the Great Song Dynasty for the benefit of millions of guan, which is simply a mediocre appearance of old age.
"Imperial grandfather............." Yelu Yanxi hurriedly admonished.
"Needless to say, I know that you are young and vigorous, but when it comes to state affairs, you must not make trouble." Yelu Hongji arbitrarily interrupted Yelu Yanxi.
The hundred officials of the Liao State couldn't help but sigh, and the hope for the future revival of the Liao State may be pinned on Yelu Yanxi.
However, they didn't know that such a result was the result of the joint discussion between Yelu Hongji and Yelu Yanxi, and the income of one million guan was nothing to the Great Song Dynasty, but it was a huge fortune for the Liao State, and it was the basis for Yelu Yanxi to reorganize his armament.
Yelu Yanxi had already used the endless money of the Silk Road to secretly purge the army in order to revitalize the Liao State and wait for the opportunity to dominate the world.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Xixia once again asks for peace! In order to consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries and jointly crusade against the Great Song Dynasty! ”
After dealing with the matter of the Silk Road, Yelu Yanxi once again entered the matter of Western Xia.
"Xixia and relatives?"
Yelu Hongji couldn't help frowning, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang had proposed peace many times, but he didn't respond.
After all, the age of the young emperor of the Western Xia is still too young, and the interests of the Silk Road are now the financial resources for the revitalization of the Liao State.
If the two countries won the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia would have coerced the Great Song Dynasty to restore the New Year's coins and the Yuanchang, and the two countries would share the benefits of the Silk Road, and the interests of the Liao State would be greatly damaged.
And now that the Great Song Dynasty has a thunderstorm, in case the Great Song Dynasty holds it and directly cuts off the two countries' annual coins and the Silk Road, the Liao State will lose this million yuan every year.
Therefore, the Liao State suffered heavy losses in both war and peace, and naturally did not want to make peace with Western Xia.
"Imperial Grandfather, Western Xia is the most important ally of the Liao State, and there is no room for error!" Yelu Yanxi reminded.
Yelu Hongji was helpless in his heart, knowing that he could only appease Xixia at this moment, and said at the moment: "I heard that the Great Song Dynasty doctors have researched that men can only be adults at eighteen and women at sixteen, and it is best to get married at this time, and the young emperor of Xixia is only twelve years old, so it is too early to make peace with relatives at this moment." ”
If Yelu Hongji intended to make peace with Western Xia, he would naturally use the folk custom of fifteen years old, but he followed the new saying that a man in a family was eighteen years old, and postponed the matter of marriage by another three years.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The hundred officials also nodded one after another, in this way, not only to postpone the peace relationship, but also to maintain the alliance with the Western Xia, so that the Western Xia can continue to contain the Great Song Dynasty, so as to ensure the interests of the Liao State to the greatest extent.
Yelu Yanxi's heart moved slightly, as long as it is postponed for another five years, the Liao State can obtain five million benefits from the Silk Road, such a huge wealth is enough to make the strength of the Liao State increase dramatically, and then join forces with the Western Xia to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and then defeat the Western Xia, and dominate the world is not delusional.
And the key to all this lies in the Silk Road Project hosted by Yelu Nanyin.
"Pass the order, Nanyin is the sister of this grandson, and no one is allowed to disobey it." Yelu Yanxi ordered.
"Yes!"
Liao officials have received orders.
Yelu Nanyin already had the special favor of the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, coupled with the personal order of the next generation of Emperor Yelu Yanxi, Yelu Nanyin can be said to have no hindrance in the territory of Liao.
With the handover of the latest batch of Silk Road materials between the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, this time in addition to the common silk, tea, porcelain and medicines, there are also crystal clear glass mirrors that make people feel the slightest, and soaps that were all the rage in the Great Song Dynasty.
"This is the mirror that Doctor Fan prepared for the newlywed Li family?" Looking at his peerless face in the glass mirror, Yelu Nanyin couldn't help but sigh.
Such a clear mirror is much better than the commonly used copper mirror, and once it is supplied to the Western Regions, it will definitely be robbed.
Such a magical thing appeared on the wedding of Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao, which shows how attentive Fan Zheng is.
"Not only the mirror, but even the soap is said to have been made by Doctor Fan for the Li family, which is to eliminate mites that are invisible to the naked eye on people." The official on the side responded.
"Mites!"
Yelu Nanyin couldn't help but move in her heart, she had just recovered her appearance, so she naturally cared about her appearance, not to mention that mites also had the risk of ruining her appearance.
At that moment, let the maid bring water and try the soap herself.
"It's of great use to women."
Experiencing the magic of soap for herself, Yelu Nanyin's eyes couldn't help but light up.
She is in charge of the Silk Road Project, and naturally knows that women's business is the best thing to do on the Silk Road, and the best silk is the best proof of this.
Once soap appears on the Silk Road, it will be sought after by countless women, and soap is a daily commodity, which can be sold repeatedly, and it will be another great source of wealth for the Silk Road in the future.
"Someone, this time Princess Ben personally escorted this batch of goods to the Western Regions." Yelu Nanyin said firmly.
She naturally knew that Song Liao had ghosts in her heart, as a princess, she was incapable of changing the overall situation, the only thing she could do was to use the interests of the Silk Road to deepen the bond between the two countries, and when the interests of the Silk Road were big enough, no matter which country wanted to fight, I am afraid that she would have to worry about three points.
This time, she will personally go to the Western Regions to fight for the greatest interests of Song and Liao.
At that moment, Yelu Nanyin led a huge convoy all the way to the west.
