Chapter 596 Queen, Take the Medicine (First Update, Please Subscribe)

There are twelve volumes of the Heavenly Book, and my name is in every volume!

Zhu Xianhai is very curry!

Others are the king of rolls, and he is the emperor of rolls!

What is the most curly one?

Of course, those are the books I got from the mall.

Compared to The Sims, the Mall is the real golden thigh. Although the number of goods in the mall is not large, the variety is very large. What are those goods?

They are not just simple mechanical equipment or daily consumer goods, nor are they simple cars or motorcycles. Instead, they are the capital of the rise of the Ming Dynasty - the Ming Dynasty rose rapidly by imitating those goods!

It's not about rapidity, it's about taking off rapidly.

However, the books in the mall were the biggest help to the Ming Dynasty. Those books covered a wide range of topics, from the most common but important primary and secondary school and even university textbooks to various basic books. Those books not only helped the Ming Dynasty quickly establish a complete education system, but also served as the source of the Ming Dynasty's world-leading technology.

The so-called twelve volumes of the heavenly book are actually the books in the mall, just like now when he is flipping through dozens of chemistry books, these books will definitely be sent to the company in the end, they will become the technical reference for the technicians in the laboratory, and soon some new products will come out.

Of course, one side effect is that they are setting the path for other future scholars.

In fact, life is like this. Walking in other people's paths leaves them with no way to go!

Soon, Emperor Zhu Juan found the information he needed, the preparation methods of isoniazid and hydrazine hydrate. Although he did not have to do everything by himself as in the past, after the two raw materials were produced in the laboratory of Xinghua Chemical, Emperor Zhu decided to prepare isoniazid himself.

It’s nothing but fame!

This could save tens of millions of people, and even win a prize for explosives... No, there is no such thing as an explosives prize now. We have completed the Nobel Prize journey.

It’s okay, I can get a pill award in the future.

Only a few days later, with the work of the tablet press, fresh white tablets came out. Looking at these small tablets, the first thing that Emperor Zhu thought of was not how many people this medicine would save, but... well, money!

Isonicotinic acid is exclusive.

Hydrazine hydrate is also exclusive.

And these little pills...are of course exclusive.

“How much should this medicine cost per bottle?”

Staring at the small medicine bottle in his hand, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but hesitate between morality and the desire to make money.

This medicine can save lives and of course make money.

How much money is appropriate to earn?

"Considering the development cost, I think one bottle should cost at least a thousand dollars!"

As the manager of Imperial Pharmaceuticals, Sun Yeli of course considered profits first. After all, it is a pharmaceutical company, not a charity.

Moreover, only by making money can we give more money to companies, and only then can companies build new factories, expand industrial production, and purchase national bonds to support national construction.

In short, there is absolutely no problem with sky-high priced drugs.

"Your Majesty, many tuberculosis patients are rich people, they don't care about such a small amount of money."

Seeing that His Majesty seemed to be hesitating, Sun Yeli emphasized again.

"As long as we can sell 10,000 bottles a year, the profit will reach..."

Before he could finish, Emperor Zhu interrupted him with his hand and said.

"Let's sell it for 800! This medicine is life-saving, so let's sell it at a lower price!"

Eight hundred is about the income of an American worker in two years, a British worker in three years, and a Ming Dynasty worker in six years. In comparison, the income of Ming Dynasty workers still needs to be improved, and there is still a long way to go.

"However, you can sell it at a higher price at the beginning! After all, things are more valuable because they are rare!"

Even Emperor Zhu had figured out who “Patient Zero” was.

Since it is a miraculous medicine of the Ming Dynasty, if we want to open up the market, we must find a suitable patient and shock the world!

"That's her!"

A month later, among the condolence gifts that Emperor Zhu Da sent to Napoleon III, there was also a letter of affection to Empress Eugenie herself. In addition to the cheesy love words, the letter also specifically mentioned "Fu Kang Ping", which is isoniazid.

“Can this cure tuberculosis?”

Looking at the glass medicine bottle, Eugenie muttered to herself a little puzzled.

"I don't have this kind of...but,"

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she thought of her good friend, so she immediately picked up a pen and wrote a letter. After finishing the letter, Eugenie instructed her maid.

"Give this letter and my gift to Sissi, who should be in Vienna now."

Empress Sissi of the Austro-Hungarian Empire had tuberculosis. As early as ten years ago, her severe tuberculosis caused concern among pulmonologist Dr. Joseph Skoda, who suggested that she go to Madeira for recuperation.

Since this medicine can treat tuberculosis, Eugenie naturally would not forget her good friend. Of course, Eugenie soon discovered that "Fu Kangping" was a good thing to win people's hearts.

After all, even in the upper class, there were many nobles and politicians who themselves or their family members suffered from tuberculosis. In the past, they had no choice but to recuperate. But now there is this medicine...

Staring at the medicine bottle on the table, Eugenie picked up the letter from her lover again and smiled sweetly.

"My dear, is this your purpose? Do you want me to use it to win people's hearts and minds? To maintain the stability of the empire?"

Holding the letter tightly against her chest, Eugenie closed her eyes, her pretty face filled with happiness from the bottom of her heart. This letter not only talked about love expressed in words, but also about this silent concern.

Obviously...Eugenie was overthinking it. Emperor Zhu just wanted to use her to open up the market for "Fu Kangping".

When it comes to promoting products, no one can compare to Eugenie, even for medicine. What else can you use if you don’t have the Queen as a living advertisement?

What Emperor Zhu didn't know was that Eugenie's deliberate actions changed a lot of things. In the following months, with hundreds of bottles of medicine, she not only successfully won over many nobles, officials and politicians, but also stabilized the political situation in France. After all, the special medicine in the Queen's hands saved many lives.

Well, it always takes time for medicine to spread.

But Empress Sissi of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who was the "No. 1 test subject" of European countries, soon wrote a letter to Eugenie, which was full of gratitude. After all, she had been suffering from tuberculosis for many years. Due to frequent coughing and other reasons, Sissi's health had been very poor. The medicine sent by Eugenie was naturally a timely help.

Soon, news came from the Vienna court that the Queen's tuberculosis had been almost cured with the medication sent by Queen Eugenie of France - of course, it couldn't be so fast.

However, in an era without chest X-rays, tests, and even before the discovery of tuberculosis bacteria, the early effects alone could give people the illusion that the disease was healed.

Overnight, "Fu Kangping" became famous throughout Europe. Also world-famous was, of course, the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Pharmaceutical Company. Although it had been world-famous for a long time, it did not prevent people from using the most complimentary words to praise this company.

“They opened the hand of God and brought hope to the world!”

This was the first time that a Ming company was praised with such supreme honor. Naturally, Imperial Pharmaceuticals accepted it with a smile. After all, it was an era that valued honor more than commercial profits.

Despite this, the price will definitely not drop!
