Facing Li Zhuo's enthusiastic emotions, Lu Chen swallowed his saliva and asked, "What exactly are you talking about, Your Majesty?"
"You said that a bottle only costs ten coins and can increase the average life expectancy of the people of Da Qi by five years. Is this true?"
Lu Chen was stunned, and immediately understood why Li Zhuo was so excited. After all, it turned out that his quotation was too low.
Failure! What a failure!
"As a top salesperson, I actually made such a mistake. I'm guilty!" Lu Chen reflected on this in his heart, but he tried to make amends by saying, "The initial costs may be slightly higher. After all, we have to consider some initial losses. Also, the food provided to the princes and ministers must be of the highest quality, just like the food provided to the little prince. It's the top-of-the-line version, with all kinds of precious nourishing herbs added to it, and the price is calculated separately."
"But I'm still confident in increasing life expectancy, and I suggest that once this drug is mass-produced, it be provided to the military first. This is because it's very effective in treating trauma, allowing our troops to maintain strong combat effectiveness and morale, and significantly increasing the number of our veterans."
To be honest, when Li Zhuo heard that the average life expectancy of the people could be increased by five years and that there would be more veterans in the army, he no longer cared about the cost.
Just increasing the average life expectancy by five years would create a huge amount of labor force.
Compared with these laborers, what is a mere ten cents?
As for the old soldiers in the army, they are even more precious.
The strength of an army actually depends on the number of veteran soldiers.
As for the princes and ministers, they felt even happier when they heard that the medicines they were given were all top-notch.
That's right, how could they eat the same food as those peasants? Money is not important, what is important is to be able to show their noble status.
So when Lu Chen gave a positive answer, all the bigwigs in the court immediately realized the importance of this medicine.
This is no longer just extending the life of a mere mortal. If it can be done well, it is extending the life of the Great Qi Dynasty!
The leaders of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War were all jealous. Liang Licang immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. We must seize the opportunity to implement it."
Then he looked at Lu Chen and said, "Master Lu, I wonder what the name of this elixir of yours is?"
Lu Chen's face turned black at that time, "I've told you so many times, this is not a magic pill, it's just an ordinary medicine."
But the more anxious and angry Lu Chen became, the kinder the people around him looked at him.
Some of the older ones even said as if they were coaxing a child, "Okay, okay, Master Lu is right. This isn't an elixir, and you don't know any magic. Tell me this when you get out. We won't let that old bastard Wei Yong find out."
Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Lu Chen really wanted to sigh to the sky. How the hell could this not be explained?
Is life so lonely like snow?
