In the simple values of the people of Da Qi, if a medicine can treat many diseases, then it can cure all diseases!
Since it can cure all diseases, it is almost like a magic pill.
Lu Chen's answer satisfied everyone. Prince Duan even smiled at Lu Chen and said, "Master Lu is truly too modest. Actually, you don't have to be so. As I said, the Great Qi State can accommodate capable people. Those who are jealous of others' talents are only a minority."
As soon as Prince Duan finished speaking, all the ministers and princes nodded, and they couldn't wait to rush over to hold Lu Chen's hand and have a good chat with him, asking him to show his magic skills openly.
Lu Chen was overwhelmed by the crowd's enthusiasm. "Can you all please listen to me? I really don't know any magic. Besides, allicin is only effective for some diseases, it's not a cure-all. Isn't your definition of a cure-all a bit too narrow?"
"Your Majesty, it's an exaggeration to say that this medicine can cure all diseases. It only has miraculous effects on specific illnesses."
Lu Chen explained seriously that he felt that exaggerating allicin into a powerful pill was a blasphemy to science.
However, the more he said this, the more people felt that Lu Chen was being modest and was afraid that if outsiders knew that he possessed magical powers, it would bring him trouble.
Everyone couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the hall, thinking that it was all Wei Yong's fault!
If this old guy hadn't been so troublesome, we would have had a great chat with Master Lu by now. Maybe Master Lu would have taken us to ascend to heaven in broad daylight.
Li Zhuo laughed heartily and said, "Master Lu, there's no need to be so modest. You just said that the medicine you have can protect people's heart meridians. I believe that when Li Xiang was seriously ill, you used this medicine to keep him alive."
Lu Chen's scalp felt numb. It was really killing him. How could this not be explained clearly?
"Your Majesty, the medicine I'm talking about here is meant to nourish the heart meridian. Taking this medicine regularly can make the heart meridian healthier. If the heart is attacked by external forces, this medicine will be useless."
Allicin has the effect of lowering blood lipids, blood sugar and blood pressure, and can also reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis.
Lu Chen didn't know how to explain these technical terms to everyone, so he gave a general explanation as protecting the heart meridian. Unexpectedly, this caused these people to misunderstand.
What he didn't expect was that the more he explained, the more trouble he was getting into. When they heard him say that everyone should take more of this medicine, they became very excited. Prince Duan hurriedly asked, "Master Lu, can we also take this kind of magical medicine?"
Lu Chen thought to himself, it’s just some allicin. Even if ordinary people can’t afford it, you princes and ministers can still afford to buy some garlic, right?
What's more, you all eat too much and are probably troubled by the three highs. Eating some allicin will only benefit you.
So he nodded and said, "Yes, you can eat it, and I highly recommend that everyone eat it. It will be very beneficial to your health."
Everyone was extremely happy to receive a positive answer.
Prince Duan suppressed his inner excitement and said, "I wonder what price we have to pay to get such a panacea?"
Lu Chen looked at Prince Duan with a puzzled look, thinking, "It's just a little allicin, what's the price to pay? The ruling class of Da Qi can't be so poor, right?"
Thinking of this, he bowed to Li Zhuo and said, "This is exactly what I wanted to discuss with Your Majesty today. This medicine is indeed beneficial to the human body. I suggest that the court purchase the raw materials, manufacture it, and be responsible for sales. This will minimize costs. I've calculated that if the national level purchases it, we can reduce the price of a bottle to ten coins. If this medicine can be widely promoted, I am confident that it can increase the average life expectancy of our people in Da Qi by at least five years."
Lu Chen was a little excited when he said this. The life of the people in ancient times was really hard. Various natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred one after another, and wars and diseases broke out from time to time. Under such circumstances, the average life expectancy of the people in Da Qi would not exceed 40 years old.
This is a rather scary and cruel number. Lu Chen doesn't think he is a great person, but if it can benefit all living beings while benefiting himself, why not do it?
Ten cents! ?
All the officials in the court looked at Lu Chen in shock.
Is it appropriate to sell such a miraculous elixir for only ten cents? Is this polite?
However, the astonishment on their faces was soon replaced by enthusiasm, because they heard Lu Chen personally assure that the average life expectancy could be increased by five years.
Well, now it’s not a question of curing all diseases, but I’m telling you openly that this thing can increase your lifespan.
Master Lu really knows magic!
"Master Lu, are you serious?"
Li Zhuo excitedly stood up from the dragon throne, ran down in a few steps, grabbed Lu Chen's hand and refused to let go.
Several imperial censors wanted to remind Li Zhuo that this was against etiquette.
But after seeing the atmosphere on the scene, they consciously shut up.
Lu Chen didn't expect Li Zhuo to be so excited. He felt a little guilty because the offer of ten cents was really high. According to his calculations, the final cost price was about three cents per bottle, and the bulk of it was on the bottle.
In other words, as long as Lu Chen can take on this job, he can earn seven coins for each bottle he sells. Considering the huge market of the entire Da Qi, he can definitely make a lot of money.
