For a moment, Yang Lianting seemed to be immersed in the memories of a few days ago.

Yang Yu gently stroked his father's back, and he came to his senses.

"My father has felt a lot of emotions after working with Dr. Yin these days." Yang Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly.

"First, I was moved by Dr. Yin's righteousness. In order to treat the epidemic, I did not hesitate to take out the ancestral prescription for epidemic prevention. Second, I was very grateful to Dr. Yin for speaking out for justice."

Yang Lianting interjected, "As descendants of a medical family, we should also learn from Doctor Yin."

"In the face of countless lives, the lives of the entire capital, and the lives of the imperial guards, what does it matter whether my mere Yang family acupuncture method can be kept secret?"

"If I still stubbornly keep my acupuncture techniques to myself and refuse to pass them on, and the epidemic rages through the capital, I will be ashamed of my ancestors!"

When he said this, Yang Lianting's eyes turned red.

The next morning, Yin Xizi gathered the doctors and learned acupuncture from the father and son of the Yang family.

At the same time, the Houttuynia cordata in the prescription was replaced with other medicinal ingredients.

After teaching the doctors of the Imperial Guards, the Yang family father and son rushed to the epidemic treatment area in the inner city to teach the doctors there personally.

Three days passed in a flash, and the patients' conditions not only did not worsen, but improved significantly.

"Great! I will immediately send someone to report this good news to the emperor." Commander Zhou smiled.

…

Tianxiang Restaurant.

Yao Jinse and Liang Chaozong were sitting in the top-floor room.

Yao Jinse stood up from time to time and looked out the window, looking very anxious.

"Didn't you say that this effective remedy for epidemic diseases would be doomed if Houttuynia cordata was removed? Why has it been three days and there is no movement at all?" Liang Chaozong's eyes were fierce and his tone was fierce.

Yao Jinse avoided the man's frightening gaze and whispered, "I'm curious too. Could they have found Houttuynia cordata?"

"I spent five hundred thousand taels of silver to buy up all the Houttuynia cordata in the four northern provinces, and even had people rob the Houttuynia cordata they were transporting. Where else can they find Houttuynia cordata in three days?!" Liang Chaozong's tone became even more fierce, and he was impatient.

Yao Jinse moved her feet slightly, trying to get further away from Liang Chaozong. She lowered her head, not daring to meet the man's gaze. "I didn't expect it to be like this."

Liang Chaozong stood up, grabbed Yao Jinse's collar, pulled her closer, and slapped her twice.

"Ah!" Yao Jinse screamed in pain, tears of grievance instantly flowing down her face, but she didn't dare to cry out loud, just covered her face tightly.

Liang Chaozong pushed her hard again, pushing her four or five steps back.

Yao Jinse immediately fell to the ground, her clothes were disheveled, revealing her bellyband underneath, her hair was messy, and her hairpins and jewelry were scattered all over the floor. She looked very embarrassed.

Liang Chaozong still felt unsatisfied, so he stepped forward and kicked him twice.

Yao Jinse was shaking with pain, curled up on the ground, unable to stand up.

"Idiot! What's the point of keeping you here? You gave me such bad advice and made me lose half a million taels for nothing!"

When an epidemic broke out in the capital, secretly buying out Houttuynia cordata was a huge risk.

Even if we wait until the storm has passed and sell this batch of Houttuynia cordata to a farther place, it will be extremely difficult.

Therefore, once these 500,000 taels of silver are spent, it will be difficult to make a profit.

The final fate of this batch of Houttuynia cordata is likely to be secretly destroyed.

After beating the man, Liang Chaozong felt half relieved of his anger.

He sat back in his chair and fell into silent thought.

"Hey! Even though you're Princess Jinse, you're still just a fake princess after all. You can go in and out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, but you can't do anything important."

"We still have to get my sister out! With her in the palace, she's much more informed."

After saying that, Liang Chaozong called over a confidant and told him to arrange for the Minister of Works Niu Baijin to come to the restaurant to meet him as soon as possible.

…

Imperial study.

Emperor Mingxi was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, and Xia Miaoyuan was flipping through them out of boredom.

[Oh! This is so annoying! My prince brother and my second brother are not here, and no one is taking me out of the palace to play.]

"But the epidemic isn't over yet. Even if they were here, Mother wouldn't allow me to go out of the palace for fun."

Emperor Mingxi found it funny when he heard his daughter's thoughts.

Alas, although she is a fairy who has come down to earth, she is still a child after all, and her playful nature cannot be changed.

"Miao'er, do you want to grind ink for daddy?" Xia Zhengqi called softly.

"Yes." Xia Miaoyuan pursed his lips and responded weakly.

Debao tactfully moved a chair to the side of the table.

Xia Miaoyuan climbed onto the chair and knelt on it to grind the ink.

Yan Mo was also very bored, and Xia Miaoyuan looked up at the memorial in Xia Zhengqi's hand.

The only signature was Bailining, a female official from the Textile Bureau.

[It's actually Aunt Ning's memorial!] Xia Miaoyuan instantly became interested and leaned over.

Seeing that his daughter was interested, Emperor Mingxi deliberately pushed the memorial to the opposite side.

It was very difficult for Xia Miaoyuan to read the words backwards. He stretched his neck and read for a full half a minute before he finished reading the contents of the memorial.

It turned out that Bailinin had improved the textile machine, which greatly increased the weaving speed.

However, the Textile Department had limited manpower and did not have the energy to build more new looms.

We don’t even have the energy to manufacture, let alone promote it, which is even more unnecessary.

In addition, her previous new jacquard machine also encountered problems in promotion.

Also because of the limited size and insufficient manpower of the Textile Department, manufacturing and promotion were very slow.

[In fact, Aunt Ning, a rare textile prodigy, should be allowed to focus all her energy on research and development.]

[In this way, she will surely be able to develop more useful things. This will be a valuable asset for Daxia's textile industry.]

[As for manufacturing and promotion, it would be better to find someone else to do it.]

Emperor Mingxi's eyes lit up and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

It would be best to find a large-scale department with sufficient manpower to be responsible for manufacturing and promotion.

Separate R&D, manufacturing, and marketing. This will dramatically increase efficiency.

The Textile Bureau is not only limited in size, but also has a chaotic responsibilities. Mother, as an honorary leader, is merely a figurehead. The entire Textile Bureau's specific work falls solely on Aunt Ning. This is definitely not acceptable.

Emperor Mingxi was holding a brush in mid-air, lost in thought, following his daughter's thoughts.

I didn’t expect that my precious daughter had such a clear mind and found the key to the problem right away.

Yes, separate functions and improve efficiency.

But who will be responsible for the production and promotion?

For a moment, Emperor Mingxi really couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

Why not bring it to the morning court tomorrow to discuss it.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhengqi closed the memorial and put it aside, then took another memorial and opened it to review it.

"Your Majesty." The queen's gentle voice came.
