Smart people never fight unprepared battles, so Zhou Boxu sent people to each shop to buy medicine separately, and each pharmacy only bought one or two flavors, and then pretended to be the lowest price for the drug dealer to inquire about a large amount, without attracting any attention.

Yesterday, he also consulted Eucommia to compare it with the price of medicine that his subordinates had returned.

It is the price of all kinds of medicinal materials, and he knows it clearly in his heart.

Hearing that the pharmacists' quotations were reasonable, even slightly lower than he expected, Zhou Boxu was not embarrassed, and happily asked Lin Jun to count and pay.

"Master Xie." The pharmacists took the money and thanked them with a smile.

The price they gave to Zhou Boxu was the lowest price for normal bulk sales, and it was true. But they were raising medicine urgently yesterday, and the price was higher than usual, but they didn't dare to let Zhou Boxu make up for the premium.

Not so many heads.

Therefore, in this business, they do not make profits, but lose, knock out teeth and swallow blood, and there are words of suffering.

"My lord, there are 80,000 taels left." Lin Jun reported to Zhou Boxu after the settlement.

Zhou Boxu was a little surprised: "Take it back for other purposes for His Highness." ”

He expected there to be a surplus, but he didn't expect there to be so much.

Well, it is really cost-effective to buy medicine from the place of origin.

"Yes." Lin Jun received the order and asked people to load the remaining silver into the car.

Zhou Boxu looked up at the sun in the sky, it was almost noon.

"Give the order to go down, and set off immediately after dinner."

"Yes, the lower official will arrange it." Fei Kai hurriedly responded.

Zhou Boxu didn't embarrass him today, which is a great blessing, arranging a meal is nothing.

This killing god is finally leaving, and Fei Kai and all the pharmacists are relieved.

Seeing Zhou Boxu get up and enter the house, all the pharmacists were also ready to go back to their respective homes.

"That's right." Zhou Boxu suddenly turned around and said to the pharmacists: "I have written down the price and people of the medicine, if I need it in the future, I will come to you again." ”

When the pharmacists heard this, their legs and feet became weak, and they almost fell on the ground.

Come back......

"I'm here to help." The pharmacists lost their smiling faces, which was more ugly than crying.

Fei Kai, who had already walked away, also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead when he heard Zhou Boxu's words.

I can't let him come again!

This time, he didn't get half a penny, not to mention, and he was stabbed, and if he didn't get it right, he would be played afterwards.

One more trip, will he still live?

The weather in May was already a little hot, and the sun was even more scorching at noon, but in order to rush back to Duanzhou as soon as possible, the team went out of the city under the scorching sun.

Fei Kai looked at the convoy driving away, and instructed the master with a grim face: "Find someone to reveal the news to the Black Wolf Village, do it cleanly, and don't reveal your identity." ”

He wanted to let Zhou Boxu never have the chance to come to Dapancheng again, let alone return to Beijing to participate in him.

"Yes." The master took the order and left quickly.

Unlike the scorching sun of Iwaki, the sky in Duanju is overcast.

"Your Highness, it's going to rain, go back." Shen Changze reminded softly.

A few days ago, he escorted the third batch of money and grain to Duanzhou, and learned that the situation in Duanzhou was serious and needed manpower, so he stayed and obeyed Yu Cheng's dispatch.

Yu Cheng looked at the rows of makeshift sheds, and because there were no doors, the scene inside was unobstructed.

In the humble house, hay and rough straw mats were spread on the ground, men, women and children lived in the same room, and the infected people lay down, and the better spirits lit a fire in the open space to cook porridge and boil medicine, and took care of each other.

Fortunately, it is summer now, and it is not cold at night, otherwise many people will freeze to death in such accommodation conditions.

couldn't bear to retract his gaze, Yu Cheng frowned and sighed: "I'm really afraid of something, this rain falls, and I don't know what the consequences will be." ”

Shen Changze didn't say a word, and silently followed Yu Cheng to the carriage.

It will rain for a long time, and I heard that Duanzhou has been sunny for a long time, and rain is inevitable.

They can't change the will of heaven, and can only hope that this rain will not fall for a long time.

When he returned to the mansion, the rain fell as scheduled, and after Yu Cheng's bath, the guard Yang Quan sent an urgent letter from Beijing.

Yu Cheng unfolded it, and after reading it, he was half happy and half worried.

Happily, the emperor has sent a physician and is on his way to Duanzhou. Worryingly, it will take time to raise money.

I don't know if the people of Duanzhou can afford to wait.

Putting down the letter, Yu Chengshen asked, "How long has Zhou Boxu been gone?" ”

Yang Quan said: "It's been 12 days, calculate the time, and I'm on the way back." ”

"Will the remaining herbs be enough to sustain him until he returns?"

"It should be."

Yu Cheng was relieved when he heard this, leaned back to the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and pinched his eyebrows to ease his mind.

These days, he goes out early and returns late, and he often discusses late at night, which is busier than when he was in Beijing, and Yu Cheng is inevitably a little tired.

Listening to the sound of rain outside the house and looking at Yu Cheng with a tired face, Yang Quan wanted to withdraw from the house and let Yu Cheng rest for a while.

However, as soon as he moved, he listened to Yu Cheng's instructions: "Go and inform the adults, and when you come back, you will go to the study to discuss the matter." ”

At this time, it was still early before dark, and Yu Cheng didn't want to waste half of his time.

"Yes." Yang Quan was ordered to leave.

There was silence in the room, and the sound of the rain outside the window was clear.

Yu Cheng leaned back in the chair for a while, feeling that his neck was a little sore, and he subconsciously shouted in a daze.

"Graceful ......"

No one responded.

Yu Cheng opened his eyes and glanced at the strange empty room with some loss.

In a blink of an eye, he had been away from Shangjing for more than a month. Without Xie Wanruo by her side, she was really unaccustomed to being warm and considerate.

After thinking about it, Yu Cheng walked to the bookcase, laid out the paper and pen to write a letter to Xie Wanruo, and brought it back when Zhou Boxu returned to Beijing.

The rain fell for half a day and a night, and it stopped at dawn.

Droplets of water dripped down the eaves and smashed into the puddles on the ground, creating ripples in circles.

"Your Highness, the sun is out." Shen Changze looked at the shimmer of the sky, full of surprise.

Yu Cheng looked up at the sky, and a smile appeared on his lips: "It's fine if it's sunny." ”

It seems that God has not rushed to kill them all.

Yu Cheng took a deep breath, stepped out of the door, and patrolled as usual.

In addition to Duanzhou City, there are many villages and towns around. Yu Cheng and Shen Changze were in charge of the city's affairs, and the rest of the Duanzhou officials were in charge of the surrounding villages and towns.

Epidemics cannot be prevented, people die every day, people are infected every day, even if they are inspected every day, it is impossible to do everything that is missed.

Today, Yu Cheng and Shen Changze inspected Nancheng and found that the terrain here was slightly lower, and the heavy rain last night flooded into the shed, and the ground was wet, and the people could not lie down and sleep, so they sat and stood all night.

The young child couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep with his head tilted in his father's arms.

The innocent face was stained with mud, the clothes were shabby, the body was thin, but there was a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, and he slept very peacefully.

I heard that Nancheng was originally rich, and the people living here had enough food and clothing.

But a flood took everything away, making them victims overnight, living on the gruel given by the government and the court.

"Is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The people recognized Yu Cheng and ran out of the shed excitedly, but they were far away, not daring to approach, for fear of spreading the epidemic to Yu Cheng.

Although they live in this area without being infected, it is better to be careful in case they are not guaranteed.

"You all ...... OK? Yu Chengqiang asked with a smile.
