Chapter 447 Song Jin's Plan
Recently, there have been a lot of unfamiliar people in the city, most of whom have come here to escape the war.
Many people fell ill after the long journey, and more people sought medical treatment and medicine. No wonder there was a shortage of medicinal materials. It was only because Jifang Pharmacy had a large inventory that it could survive until now without raising prices.
Song Jin saw that most of those excluded were ordinary people.
There are still people out there who are clearly ill but are not seeking medical attention.
Because there was no doctor in Jifang.
Song Jin retracted his gaze and instructed Mu Ting, "Tell Lou Ruhan to tell the shopkeeper that if the medicine in the shop is not enough, he can go to Yi County to transfer some. Then invite two doctors to come to the medicine shop and treat the people outside for free. I will bear all the expenses."
"Okay, boss."
Mu Ting responded and went to tell Lou Ruhan.
Lou Ruhan went to the drugstore to find the owner and conveyed Song Jin's intention. The owner was so happy that he thanked him repeatedly and quickly arranged for someone to get the medicinal materials.
Mu Ting was a little puzzled. "The boss donated a batch of medicinal materials before. The storage in Yi County is not much. If another batch is transferred, the transaction we have agreed on later may not be delivered on time, and we will have to pay a lot of money for compensation."
"If the country is not stable, it is better not to do business."
For some businessmen, when the country is in turmoil, it is more ruthless to make money, but this is not the case for her, Song Jin. A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way; he views it in moderation and spends it in moderation.
Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a country.
Do your best to help within your ability.
Song Jin acted according to his conscience.
The reputation of Jifang's righteous merchants was completely established in Huizhou. The earlier donation of grain to the Northwest Army and the gift of a name by the late Emperor Mingcheng all spread in Huizhou, including Jifang's good deeds of helping poor people grow herbs and improve their lives.
The boss behind the scenes also surfaced, she was Song Jin, the daughter of Huizhou merchant Song Kuan.
Who is Song Jin? She is the mother of the current young prince and the first wife of the powerful Lord Qin Qi'an.
This matter later became widely known, but Song Jin is currently unaware of it.
After returning from Yi County, Song Jin rested and talked to his elders at home about the situation. He then stayed in the Song family's study, reading medical books and copying and writing.
Uncle Song came over.
"You mentioned Qin Qian'an and me?"
Song Jin put down the medical book and pinched his slightly swollen temples. "The outside world doesn't know that he and I have divorced, so it's not strange to put him and me together."
"Jin'er, you can't go on like this." Uncle Song said earnestly, "You've divorced, but you haven't made it public yet. It will be difficult for you to get married again."
Only the Song family knew about the divorce.
The Song family almost closed their doors to visitors while they were recuperating, and they did not tell anyone about Song Jin's divorce, so there was no rumor of divorce outside.
Song Jin knew that her elders were worried, and she was helpless about it. "We don't need to worry about this. When Qin Qi'an remarries in the capital, the news of the divorce will naturally spread. No matter what I think about it, no one will say anything."
"You can't wait for him to marry again before you can get married."
"What else?" Song Jin asked back.
Uncle Song was choked.
Song Jin has not considered remarrying at the moment.
She just didn't tell anyone about her plan to not get married.
Of course, she had no intention of staying with Qin Chi, she just didn't know how the future would develop. Maybe she would meet someone she wanted to marry again.
Uncle Song's face looked a little dark.
Song Jin said with a smile: "Second uncle, as the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a person. Before Qin Qi'an remarried, I married first. Where would he put his face? He is so petty that the two families might even become enemies."
"He wouldn't be so petty, would he?"
"Betting on others not to be petty is not like our Song family's style." The Song family has always been a family tradition of seeking stability. Song Jin tried to persuade Uncle Song in a serious manner, "The Song family facing Qin Qi'an is no different from an ant facing an elephant. It will be difficult for us to survive in peace."
"I can't argue with you."
Uncle Song learned from Song Jin's powerful rhetoric, "But Jin'er, can you really let it go? This letting go is not about being a man, but about overwhelming wealth and glory!"
Song Jin raised his eyelids, "Does the Song family care about it?"
"Not rare, not rare!"
Uncle Song said things in a very generous way even though he didn't mean it.
If the Song family had ambitions, they would not have stayed in Huizhou for generations and worked as ordinary medicinal materials merchants.
I don’t ask for wealth or fame, I only want my descendants to be safe and secure.
Second Uncle Song respected Song Jin's opinion, but he didn't want her to act impulsively. "Second Uncle is worried that you will regret it in the future."
"I don't know what will happen in the future, but at least I want to do this now." Song Jin's attitude returned to seriousness.
"In that case, Second Uncle won't persuade me any further."
Second Uncle Song glanced at the medical book that Song Jin had copied, "Do you want Second Uncle to call a few people to help you copy it?"
"That would be the best." Song Jin agreed.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Uncle Song immediately called his attendant and asked him to ask someone to come and copy the books. In addition to the medical books of the Song family, Qin Chi also sent some of the books that were confiscated from the Liu family.
He knew what Song Jin was going to do.
The Song family suffered misfortune because of the medical book.
At first Song Jin was anxious to go to the capital to find someone.
After thinking about it carefully, I calmed down.
Several months had passed since Song Kuan's clue was found, and Song Jin's rush over was of little use. According to the information received, Qin Chi's people had dug the ground almost three times but still hadn't found the person.
Song Jin is going to the capital to look for someone.
At the same time, he wanted to seek protection for his family, and also wanted to provide some support for his son who became the crown prince.
Therefore, she wanted to make the Song family's ancestral medical books public, and even write an easy-to-understand medical booklet to spread some common diseases and treatments, so that some poor people could prevent or seek medical treatment, and not let minor illnesses develop into major ones.
Song Jin knew that once this matter was accomplished.
It will surely be a great achievement that will be passed down through the ages.
Song Jin had this idea, but it was actually a spur-of-the-moment idea.
It was on her way back that she felt compassion for the countless refugees outside the city who were having difficulty seeking medical treatment.
The Song family was very supportive of Song Jin's approach. The medical books that Song Jin wanted to take away were of course handwritten versions.
Not long after, a few younger generations of the Song family arrived.
They sat down in a row and copied medical books for Song Jin.
A few younger members of the Song family were copying and gossiping at the same time.
It was much more lively than when Song Jin was copying alone.
"I just heard something before coming to the study." A young man from the Song family said stealthily.
The girl who was copying books nearby asked, "What's the matter?"
"Yesterday, a major case occurred in a certain village outside the city. A scholar was stabbed by his mistress. When the officials rushed to the scene, blood was all over the ground and the man was almost dead. Tsk tsk."
"Is the mistress so arrogant that she dares to rape her lover?"
"Hehe, someone recognized her. The concubine was said to be a proper young lady of the Bai Mansion. She was a talented woman in the past, but she died of illness a few years ago. Who would have thought that she would not die but become someone's concubine."
"Bai Mansion? The residence of Mr. Bai?"
"Yes, that's the great scholar Bai who teaches at Ziyang Academy. This young lady from the Bai family is really unrefined."
The younger generations became more and more excited as they talked.
Song Jin, who was standing by, felt something was wrong as he listened.
