Chapter 7 Talent

Rong Ping was stunned for a long time, took a deep breath suddenly, and looked suspicious: "Money can be channeled, but how can you make others willingly lend you money?" The four princes are now eager to eat your flesh and drink your blood, who else can you borrow money from? ”

The more he talked, the more he felt reasonable, he snorted and chirped: "You are a crooked reason, you can't borrow a penny at all, let alone want to borrow 50,000 or 100,000." Owed hundreds of millions of taels? Do you know how much a billion is? ”

King Anqing suspected that the girl's head was burned and whimsical.

Hearing this, Rong Zhao was not angry, only smiled: "Then my father will see if I can borrow any more money, perhaps, without me taking the initiative, they will send the silver two to the door." ”

King Anqing: "......" did have a problem with his brain.

He complained again: "And that money, 100,000 taels of silver to reward famous doctors, you really did it." It doesn't matter how much money you spend now, how will you pay it back after three months? Do you want to sell the Anqing Wangfu property to pay off the debt? ”

Rong Zhao didn't answer, she took back the spoon, put the medicine on the low table next to her, and stood up slowly: "It seems that my father doesn't want to take the medicine, and he doesn't want to continue to live to see how I can pay it back, so don't take it." ”

She raised her hand and bent over: "The child still has important matters, don't disturb the father." ”

After speaking, Rong Zhao turned around and left.

"Hey—" King Anqing opened his mouth, but Rong Zhao had already gone out.

He said angrily: "Am I Lao Tzu or are you Lao Tzu?" Now people say that you are a filial son, but I think it is right to be a filial son! ”

Rong Ping muttered in a low voice: "I don't know how to coax me for a while, don't give me the medicine, this is looking forward to my death?" ”

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the medicine bowl next to him.

Stretched out his hand, picked it up, and took a bite and went straight down.

- He can't die!

This is not a filial son, no, the unfilial girl is very bold now, he has to live to stare at the point, don't poke a hole in the sky, and bury all the nine clans of Anqing Palace.

"Did the prince persuade the prince?" Concubine Bai came in at this time, her face full of worry.

Rong Ping frowned: "Persuade what?" ”

Bai was anxious: "Persuade the prince to take off the notice, if the money is spent in three months, after three months, how can we pay back the money in Anqing Palace." ”

She stirred the veil and looked worried: "Lord, you have to talk about the prince well, it's really too unseemly, how can you-"

"Shut up!" King Anqing was furious, "You can also put your beak in the prince?" Bai, figure out your identity! ”

Bai's face turned pale when he was reprimanded.

Rong Ping sneered: "Zhao'er is the prince of Anqing Palace, and after three months, he will have his own Anqing Palace, so you don't need to worry about it." ”

Bai clenched his handkerchief, not daring to refute it in the end.

King Anqing: "What about the mother and the princess?" ”

Bai hurriedly replied: "The old lady and the princess are chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall and praying for the blessings of the Anqing Palace. ”

King Anqing glanced at her: "Then you can go and chant the scriptures if you have nothing to do, these things in the house have nothing to do with you, so don't talk nonsense here." ”

Bai's eyes turned red, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Yes......"

She knew that King Anqing was angry that she and the old princess took advantage of his serious illness and almost "died" the son, the old princess was his mother, of course he couldn't say anything, and this anger was spread to the Bai family.

But Bai also felt aggrieved.

In that case, the secret is about to be exposed, either Rong Zhao dies or the nine clans of the Anqing Royal Mansion die, Rong Zhao has to die, and they can only ruthlessly protect the palace.

Now, the prince is famous, and everyone in the capital knows it one day.

But under the reputation of this "filial son", it is a blazing fire cooking oil, which is extremely dangerous.

Not to mention that in the limelight, what should Rong Zhao's gender be exposed?

Let's just say that three months later, how can the Anqing Mansion get 100,000 taels of silver?

That's not ten taels, that's 100,000 taels!

In recent years, the king of Anqing has been hidden, and the royal industry has also withered, and there are not many assets at all.

Bottom line?

And how can it be done?

Now the four princes are not moving, they are obviously pressing the fire, waiting to see them dig their own graves in the Anqing Palace!

When Bai thought of the endless stream of doctors coming to the door, he only felt a splitting headache, and his heart felt as if he had been choked, and he was frightened.

-

The prince of Anqing Wangfu has been a blockbuster in just one day, famous inside and outside the capital, and the news even spread to places outside the capital along the post station and the main road.

100,000 taels of silver!

In this era, one tael of silver was enough for a month's expenses of an ordinary family in the capital, and the annual harvest of a mu of land for farmers in the countryside was only a few hundred wen after tax deduction.

This is still the case because the imperial court is not harsh on the peasants.

What is the concept of 100,000 taels of silver, you can imagine.

That is, the four princes can quickly take out 20,000 taels, and Zhang Changyan's cheating goods can be made out of 20,000 taels by secretly embezzling the family and scraping together.

And what kind of family are they?

It is the real home of Zhong Ming Ding Food, and it is the most powerful group of people in the dynasty.

Twenty thousand taels is not all their assets, but it is really not a small amount, and one hundred thousand taels is even more terrifying.

Only three days after the news was released, many folk doctors came to the Anqing Palace, but if there were a few brushes and could really give some good advice, Rong Zhao asked people to take silver taels ranging from one tael to ten taels to them.

And those barefoot Lang who just came to try it and had no help, Anqing Wangfu was also very polite, although there was no money to take it, but tea, snacks and so on, you can also use some of them.

Not only can they talk to other doctors and improve their medical skills, but they can also leave with a few snacks.

Therefore, the reputation of the prince of Anqing is getting better and better.

Of course, there are some people who don't care.

"He spends money like water, or it won't be long before he digs his own grave!" These are the words of a certain magnate in the capital.

"Who made the prince benevolent and filial? He released the news that he would repay the money in three months, and I waited for this well-known prince to fulfill his promise. "Prince Rong is neither salty nor light.

Some powerful people couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard this.

The prince of Anqing Wangfu is still too young, offending the four princes in one breath, and now they dare not touch this Rong Shizi, what about three months later?

I'm afraid that then will be the day when Rong Shizi's reputation will be discredited.

And the people don't care about that.

Doctors of all kinds of levels converge to the Anqing Royal Mansion from all over the place, and there is an endless stream, and the entrance of the Anqing Royal Mansion is often crowded with curious people.

It is difficult to take the attention of the elites in Beijing away.

The Anqing Royal Mansion and the Prince of Anqing have been hot topics in Beijing for a long time.

Inside the palace.

Xie Hong frowned: "Shizi, there are very few useful doctors among these people who come, and most of the doctors have very poor medical skills, so they are all here to join in the fun." ”

Shi nodded heavily: "Yes, the prince's health has improved a lot in the past few days, Shizi, can the notice be taken down?" ”

Rong Zhao shook his head.

Xie Hong's face collapsed suddenly, "Shizi, the prince lost his temper again today." ”

Of course, Rong Zhao knew that he could hear the sound of the old man smashing the cup in the East Courtyard.

— but it doesn't matter.

Rong Zhao suddenly asked, "Those Taoist priests have stayed, right?" ”

Shi Shi was stunned, but still replied honestly: "Listen to the orders of the prince, and all of them stay." ”

Hearing this, Xie Hong had an even more headache, "Taoist priests have harmed the previous dynasty and destroyed the country, and now I don't like alchemy, they are all deceptive methods, which will only harm the body, you don't want to come nonsense." ”

Isn't the prince going to be converted? That's a big mistake!

The corners of Rong Zhao's mouth hooked up a smile and did not answer.

King Anqing's health is getting better and better, and these doctors who have offered a reward have indeed played a role.

But in addition to her fame and "lifting the alarm", there is another very important factor for her to engage in such a big battle-

She needs talent.

There are many reasons for the collapse of the previous dynasty, including the lack of finance, the poor economy, and the obsession of the royal family of the previous dynasty with alchemy, which turned the country into a miasma.

In the previous dynasty, doctors were not only doctors, but also ...... Alchemist, Taoist.

The royal family is obsessed with alchemy, and the "alchemy" has developed at a high speed in the previous direction, extending in all directions, and has made good progress.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, after learning a lesson, he looked down on Taoist priests very much, killed a group of Taoist priests who brought disaster to the country and the people, and destroyed many Taoist temples.

Although they did not exterminate the Taoist priests, the general environment that excluded them made it impossible for them to survive.

Over the years, there are almost no Taoist priests in Beijing.

In the eyes of many people, Taoist priests are crooked ways to deceive and deceive.

In Rong Zhao's view, some Taoist priests are the talents she needs, and they are in short supply who can make money for her.

-

Seven days later.

Seven days have passed since the bounty of the Anqing Palace, and it is said that the King of Anqing is much better, at least for the time being, and he will not die.

The prince of Anqing Wangfu hasn't taken down the notice yet, and it's still posted.

These days, there are countless doctors rushing to the capital, which is really a great spectacle.

On an ox cart outside the capital.

An old man wearing a blue robe with a beard held up his head and asked in a loud voice, "Little brother, how long will it take to get to the capital?" ”

The young man driving the ox cart replied in a hoarse voice for a while: "It's almost there." ”

The old man looked at the young man's side face and muttered in a low voice, "What a weirdo......"

The man who drove the car looked quite young, but in such weather, wearing thick clothes, a scarf covering half of his face, and messy broken hair covering his eyes, he could only vaguely see a high nose bridge and sharp eyebrows.

The carriage came all the way from Huaizhou, and the man said no more than ten words in total.

Thinking that it was a free ride, the old man didn't say anything and shrank back.

Next to him, the little Taoist boy next to him complained: "Master, why did we go so far? What kind of 100,000 taels is there...... Sounds like a fake. ”

After a pause, Xiao Daotong added: "And even if it's true, Master can only treat a bruise, and the medical skills are not useful." ”

The old man glared at him: "What do you know?" ”

He rubbed his cooing belly and muttered: "We are all going to starve to death in Huaizhou, and we still have to find a place to make a living, but I heard people say that as long as you can help, you can get one or two taels of silver from the prince of Anqing." ”

For those who have the ability, one or two is nothing, but for the old man and the Taoist boy, they can live for many months.

The old man thought very well, but Dao Tong was not very optimistic: "What if we can't help much, or if you hear that we are Taoist priests and ignore us?" ”

Old man: "......"

He blew his beard and glared: "Nonsense! ”

Xiao Daotong shrunk his neck.

After a while, the old man comforted himself again: "I heard that the prince of Anqing is kind and hospitable, and he didn't beat people out, and the boiler in the gatehouse burns every day, and the pastries and tea are constant, even if you don't give us two silver taels, you can eat for a few days and find a way." ”

Xiao Daotong said cautiously: "The most striking Taoist priest in the capital, the ancestor was driven out of the capital back then...... Can we really find food in the capital? It is said that there are no Taoist temples in the capital. Master, we should have changed careers earlier, get up early and be greedy for darkness, and learn those ......."

The voice became smaller and quieter, until it disappeared, and Xiao Daotong closed his mouth under the master's glare.

The old man was actually very worried, but the capital was his hope.

Learning the "Taoist technique" that doesn't matter how full he is, he always thinks about playing a role, at least like when he was a child, he has something to eat.

Old man: "I'm going to have to check it out." ”

After saying that, the old man sat there motionless, with his neck twisted, only his body swaying with the ox cart.

Xiao Daotong felt sorry for his master's age, and he didn't say anything anymore, but he was faintly desperate in his heart.

Master didn't want to think about what would happen if there was no way out in the capital......

Because, they didn't even have the money to go back to Huaizhou, and their residence in Huaizhou was changed, and they came here in ruins, and there was no way back.

If it weren't for meeting a young "coachman" who happened to be in Beijing, not charging them fares, and occasionally giving them dry food, the two would not have come to Beijing alive.

Xiaodao Tong let out a long sigh.

After another day of travel, they finally arrived in the capital.

The little brother had a cold face, ignored them along the way, but did not leave them immediately after entering Beijing, and continued to pull them to the gate of Anqing Palace.

Xiao Tong looked ahead and opened his mouth wide in surprise: "There are so many people ......"

The old man was also stunned, there were a lot of people outside the luxurious palace, there were countless carriages and ox carts, and many richly dressed people were just standing outside the door.

"This ...... Are they all here because of the silver bounty? The old man got out of the ox cart tremblingly, his face shocked, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the man who was driving the cart, but he saw surprise in the other party's eyes that had never been emotionless.

In the distance, they heard the discussion—

"How do you get this medication?"

"What's wrong with this, I've been prescribing these medicines."

"Phew, quack, you're killing people! This medicine is not right at all. ”

"I also think this prescription is wrong, and it should be replaced with ......"

……

Xiao Tong grabbed the old man's sleeve and gasped: "How powerful is this...... Healer? ”

Next to him, a passing man heard the words and looked at them with the same eyes as he looked at the soil buns, and his voice was also arrogant-

"Since the prince of Anqing posted the notice, there have been countless doctors who have come and gone, and from time to time there are doctors who disagree with each other and learn from each other. There are also some powerful doctors who provide free medical treatment outside the palace and see doctors for free, and the prince also provides food for these free doctors. ”

"Moreover, these doctors outside are not the most powerful, the powerful ones are all in the palace, and there are unworthy doctors who come to the palace every day to learn, that is really powerful."

"Now if you don't know a little medical skills, you dare to come to the door to coax the good son, you will be scolded by these doctors!"

The old man subconsciously took a step back.

Xiao Daotong also gasped, and tugged at the old man's sleeve helplessly, "Master? What can I do? ”

The old man didn't know.

His mind was full of one sentence now-

It's over, there are so many real doctors, he can't cheat and cheat!
