Promoting a drug nationwide is a big deal, involving enormous human and material resources, and it certainly cannot be decided casually.
Even though everyone had great confidence in Lu Chen, the procedures still had to be followed. So, Lu Zhengping from the Ministry of Industry stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, could you please have Master Lu refine a batch of these medicines first, and then we can find some people to test their efficacy. This stuff is going to be provided to the military, so we should be cautious."
Li Zhuo nodded, thinking it made sense. He looked at Lu Chen and said, "What do you think, Master Lu? We're not doing this because we don't trust you, it's just the procedure."
Lu Chen also expressed his understanding and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. In fact, a few days ago, I asked the people around the little prince to help me do these things, and now there are results. Your Majesty, just call them up and ask them and you will know."
Li Zhuo looked up to Lu Chen again. The young man in front of him was only in his twenties, but he was so calm and steady in doing things. He had already thought of everything in detail.
What made Li Zhuo even more satisfied was that Lu Chen used the little prince's people. If this medicine was really as useful as he said, then the little prince must have contributed to it.
Li Zhuo doted on his youngest son, but as a king, no matter how much he doted on him, he had to have a legitimate reason to reward him.
If the little prince can really make some contribution, then Li Zhuo can find a way to expand his fiefdom.
Soon the person in charge of the experiment was called up, and at the same time, more than twenty people were escorted into the hall.
Li Zhuo knew the leader, Mou Ping, the eunuch who served the little prince.
Upon seeing the emperor, the young eunuch knelt in greeting, then raised a small booklet above his head and said, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, following Master Lu's instructions, we took the medicine to the Ministry of Justice's prison and found some prisoners to conduct experiments. Currently, the twenty condemned prisoners are in very stable condition. The wounds on their bodies have scabs, and there are no signs of redness, swelling, or suppuration. They should have passed the critical period."
There was no such thing as human rights these days, so after hearing such a report, no one among the ministers jumped out to accuse Lu Chen of not taking the lives of death row prisoners seriously. Instead, they stared at the twenty prisoners in front of them with shining eyes, wishing they could rush up and strip them of their clothes.
The twenty death row prisoners had never seen such a scene before, and they were all scared as quails. The young eunuch had told them that as long as they were willing to cooperate with the drug experiment and survived, they would be given leniency.
As they had no hope in life, they agreed immediately.
When participating in the experiment, many people thought they would not survive. Unexpectedly, after applying the medicine, none of their wounds became infected. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a miracle.
Li Zhuo looked at the several death row prisoners standing below and quickly waved his hand and said, "Take off your clothes!"
Soon, with the help of a group of guards, several people were stripped naked.
Many officials came forward and carefully examined the wounds on these people's bodies, marveling at them.
Anyone could see that the wounds on their bodies must have appeared recently, and the wounds were very hideous and looked very serious.
If such a wound occurs in the army, the person will most likely not survive. Even if he does not die at the time, the subsequent infection and fever will take his life.
But looking at these prisoners in front of me, they are all in good spirits.
At this time, someone sighed: "Master Lu is worthy of being an immortal. The immortal pills he refined are not only cheap, but also have such outstanding effects."
"Yes, yes. What's even more commendable is that Master Lu cares about the people of the world and is willing to share such a good thing. It is truly a blessing for Da Qi."
Lu Chen stood aside, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He had already gained a huge advantage in this, and he couldn't take on some false reputation.
He immediately bowed to Li Zhuo and said, "Your Majesty, if we really want to promote this medicine, I suggest naming it Sheng'en Dan. It is because of a benevolent ruler like Your Majesty that the people can afford this medicine. I hope that when the people take this medicine, they will feel grateful to Your Majesty."
Jiang Tao, standing by, gasped again. "Is there any justice in this world?" "You can clearly rise to prominence with your own magical skills, so why do you have to steal the jobs of us flatterers?"
The more Jiang Tao thought about it, the more he felt that the world was changing and people's hearts were no longer as they used to be. The flattery circle was getting more and more complicated and it was getting harder and harder to survive.
As soon as the three words "Sheng'en Dan" came out, Li Zhuo felt as if he had drunk some nectar, and his heart was filled with joy!
Which emperor doesn't want to have more favorable records about himself in history books? If he can really promote something like Sheng'en Dan, he will definitely be remembered in history.
However, Li Zhuo still had to maintain some dignity. He looked at Lu Chen a little embarrassedly and said, "Master Lu, is this appropriate?"
Yes, after all, the elixir was made by Lu Chen, and he took the credit for nothing he did. This kind of thing is unacceptable.
Lu Chen waved his hand dismissively and said, "Although I came up with the recipe, all the ingredients had to be provided by the government. Without Your Majesty's grace, how could the people of the world afford this stuff? Therefore, this pill must be called the Holy Grace Pill, and it must be called the Holy Grace Pill. From now on, anyone who doesn't feel grateful to the royal family is not worthy of taking this pill."
Li Zhuo was delighted again and said, "Okay, okay, the name is actually not important. What's important is to promote this medicine as soon as possible."
