Chapter 3 Water Hidden Grass
Dong Junqin finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing this, the guy bluffed and said, "Don't believe it. There are few people in the rivers and lakes who have seen Doctor Guiyi himself, and our Doctor Gong is fortunate to ......"
As the man spoke, Gong Deshun also slowly turned around, glanced forward with his eyes and saw the person clearly, and stood up with a "poof".
The sudden sound startled the guy, and he asked in a daze, "Master...... You...... Are you alright?"
Gong Deshun ignored him, stared at Dong Junqin and said, "You ...... Why are you here?"
Dong Junqin put away the joke and bowed: "The junior came to visit late at night, and I can't inform the senior, I'm really sorry." I don't know, shopkeeper Han is here?"
Gong Deshun didn't answer, but looked at him quite vigilantly for a while before putting down the book and heading towards the back room.
The guy didn't know what to do, and looked at Dong Junqin suspiciously.
Dong Junqin was afraid that he would make a joke next time, so he kindly informed: "I was fortunate to meet the doctor Guiyi in your mouth, I remember that he practiced medicine, not only to open his eyes, but also to take the pulse." ”
When the guy was confused, a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure walked out.
"Shopkeeper Han. Dong Junqin said respectfully, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
Shopkeeper Han stared at Dong Junqin and took a deep breath: "Okay, at least it's fine before Gong Deshun asks me to come out." ”
The owner's face was not good, and at a glance, he knew that Dong Junqin was disliked. He silently followed behind and walked towards the back room together.
The guy behind him asked in a low voice, "Master, who is that son?"
"The young hall master of Chongcaotang, Dong Junqin. Gong Deshun's tone was mournful, "Why did he come in person? Didn't he say that he had been sitting in Wangxue Tower for the past few days?"
When the guy heard this, he shouted, "He's the wild doctor?"
Gong Deshun slapped his forehead with a palm: "What kind of wild doctor, he is the apprentice of the first doctor in the rivers and lakes." ”
"Huh, he's Jiang He's apprentice, ah, Guiyi's apprentice?"
Gong De said: "What kind of eyes do you have? Yes, the number one doctor on the list of famous doctors in the rivers and lakes, the medical immortals are one, and he is his master! And he is Dong Junqin, the master of the Chongcao Hall!"
"What are you arguing about!Is the tea ready!" The conversation outside was really embarrassing, and Shopkeeper Han could hear it clearly, not to mention Dong Junqin, who had extraordinary senses, "The young hall master smiled, that kid just came up from the countryside and didn't have much knowledge, don't be surprised." ”
Dong Junqin said: "Shopkeeper Han is serious. The younger generation saw that the guy was very clever, if there were a few more such guys in Chongcaotang to help Uncle Zhang, they would be able to save more effort. ”
Shopkeeper Han snorted and said, "The young hall master is the one who is serious. Now that you are back in Chongcatang, you are not the biggest foil. As soon as I came back today, I heard that more than a dozen medicine stores in Changyu have been properly ordered by Chongcaotang, and the matter of supplying medicine in the middle of the year is decided. Back then, even if Ling Tang came in person, it was not so efficient. ”
Dong Junqin said: "There is Lao Han's shopkeeper who cares, and the younger generation does not have much to do with the acquisition, mainly because the old mages in the hall have a way." ”
After the tea of the shopkeeper Han was delivered into the house, he said sarcastically: "I think you traveled to the rivers and lakes with your master back then, and you were also a little famous in the medical and Taoist families." Now that this master has been in seclusion for only a few years, the apprentice is officially when he talks and does things. It seems that this atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is indeed not worth the fame and fortune of the temple. ”
Dong Junqin knew why he was not welcomed, but he didn't care, so he simply provoked the topic: "Shopkeeper Han, whether it is the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, or the fame and fortune of the temple, in the final analysis, it is just to do things with money, and some things don't need to be put on hold, what do you say?"
"Do you want me to say? Shopkeeper Han snorted coldly, "It's you who takes the money, and it's someone else who sells your life, what is there to say." ”
Dong Junqin rubbed the rim of the cup and said in a low voice: "Six years ago, Changyu began to unite pharmaceutical companies from all over the country to collectively raise the price of medicine, and finally made the people unable to afford to take medicine. ”
Shopkeeper Han was not convinced: "It is indeed wrong to raise the price of medicine, but if it is not for the wrong policy of the imperial court, where can the profiteers take advantage of it?"
Dong Junqin said: "Okay, since the shopkeeper Han wants to talk about the imperial court, the junior also said it directly." The shopkeeper Han was reluctant to supply to Chongcaotang and the imperial court, in order to help the imperial court cut off the supply of Huangfu gravel and hidden grass after the rebellion of the family that year, and the righteous soldiers who had helped the imperial court cut off the supply of Huangfu gravel and hidden grass died tragically under the fire poison and no one cared. The rebellion of the family, the younger generations have not experienced it and have no right to say more, but everyone knows about the fire and poison epidemic. Do you think about it carefully, did the Emperor Taishang list the water cabein grass as a forbidden medicine back then?"
"Yes, the imperial court did not explicitly prohibit drugs. However, an edict invited all the children of the official eunuchs out of the various sects, and if they were hidden, they would be regarded as complicit. In the palace, they invited into the Changshengtai and said that they wanted to prevent the recurrence of the family's rebellion. Changshengtai's sneering attitude towards the water hidden grass doesn't know. In that case, the Huangfu gravel is the water hidden grass, and the water hidden grass is the symbol of the anti-thief. What's more, officials from all over the country have also arrested and tortured people for this. People are panicking, who wants to touch this reverse scale. The shopkeeper Han recalled that year, and his tone was still full of injustice.
Han's shopkeeper's father collected medicine all his life, and in the troubled times, he fought to the end with the Huangfu family, and finally the thief was destroyed and the dynasty was reorganized, but he ended up with no medicine and died of pain.
The past is embarrassing, but the emperor's order is in his body, and Dong Junqin has to reveal people's scars no matter how unwilling he is: "It is a fact that people are panicked. But the shopkeeper of Han, the children of the official eunuchs do not enter the Xuanmen, which is not a bad thing. No one dares to sell water hidden grass is also an exaggerated gimmick by merchants with intentions. ”
Shopkeeper Han choked.
The family rebellion, people who have experienced it do not want to think about it much. The blood flowed in one night, but whenever this matter is mentioned, there must be these unimaginable words to follow.
However, it is undeniable that the monastic craze is also an accomplice to the family's rebellion. At that time, from the royal family and nobles to the ordinary people, as long as there was a child in the family, they would be sent to various sects to cultivate. Even if there are few talents, it's good to learn a fur, and no matter how bad it is, you should be healthy.
The government does not take care of the government, and the people do not make a living, which allows those with speculation to take the opportunity to make trouble.
On the other hand, everyone in the world is cultivating, so the state of this hundred schools of Xuanmen is no different from other places. The atmosphere of forming gangs and factions, the noble and the lowly, is even worse than outside the Xuanmen.
Therefore, when the emperor was in power, the edict was to ask the civil and military officials to take back their thoughts, and each sect sent a quiet, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
It's just that I didn't expect that the profiteers were unwilling to sell the inventory of water hidden grass in their hands at a low price, and under the pretext of "losing their lives for fear of arousing the suspicion of the imperial court," they insisted on not shipping the goods; people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes were originally in a state of heavy casualties, and few people had the ability to come out to help; not to mention that the imperial court, knowing that so many people had died, did not want to be led by the profiteers because of the "lessons from the past" of the emperor's gravel forcing the palace, and no one wrote a book to speak out for those righteous people.
During the rebellion of the family, the people were panicked, worried about the turbulence of the times, and the life and death were unpredictable; after the rebellion of the family, the people were panicked, and they were worried about the hot and cold state of the world.
Although Dong Junqin has not experienced the former, but after practicing medicine for many years, the latter is very familiar: "Please allow the younger generation to take the liberty of calling you uncle." Uncle Han, in the matter of disregarding his life, no one is kinder, and no one is more hateful. It's just that now Emperor Chenyang personally ordered the purchase of Water Hidden Grass, that is, he wanted to try to clean up the residual poison left by that dose of fierce medicine. ”
Shopkeeper Han seemed to calm down, and asked rhetorically: "Clean up the residual poison?" ”
Dong Junqin was somewhat relieved to hear that he didn't mention that the imperial court had changed the profiteers: "Uncle Han, the water hidden grass of other families is at least eight years in stock. This kind of goods can't eat the dead, and it really has no medicinal effect. ”
Shopkeeper Han glanced at the sky with his eyes: "There is an immortal platform in the palace, there are doctors in each Xuanmen, and no matter how bad it is, there is also the Imperial Doctor's Office, who really needs the water hidden grass." And what you just mean, the little emperor's acquisition of the water hidden grass is just for a show. Even if he was given ten years of stock, he would not be able to make a difference. ”
Dong Junqin nodded: "But what about the other ordinary people? If I look for those people to collect medicine, they will double the remaining inventory when they go back." And the medicine received by the royal family has always been regarded as a quality standard. If I accept such goods, wouldn't it be a mistake for my children?"
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Han turned his head and stared at Dong Junqin for a while. Half a ring, he added tea: "I kind of know why the little emperor is looking for Chongcatang." ”
"Uncle Han thought a lot, Emperor Chenyang was just thinking about some old feelings he had met in his childhood, so he entrusted him with a heavy task. Dong Junqin put a cup into his throat, and after bitterness, he returned sweet.
"Hmph, I used to think that it was a pity for most 'mortals' that you followed the Xuanqing Immortals and only saved the disciples of the Xuanmen, but now I think it is a waste for you to not take the exam for an official and a half-job. Han's shopkeeper's words were both praise and sarcasm, he looked at Dong Junqin's smiling eyes for more than ten years and sighed, "That's it, since the little emperor intends to deal with this unhealthy trend, then it is not good for us to help the people." ”
Hearing this, Dong Junqin got up and bowed: "Then the junior will thank the Han shopkeeper for the emperor, thank you Bitang!"
