Qi Xiuzhe's face was gloomy, he clenched his fists, and was swept out in the face.
Qin Wu was so petty that she even revoked his right to make advance withdrawals from the bank!
But Qi Xiuzhe never thought that when he and Qin Suhuo went to the money shop to pay bills, the money was always paid back by Qin Wu.
It was also to prevent Qi Xiuzhe, Qin Suhu and others from being in urgent need of money. When she was not around, they would not be ridiculed for being short of money.
They only wanted Qin Wu's efforts, but never thought about giving anything in return. They couldn't even give her the simplest trust or stand by her side to support her.
Qi Xiuzhe didn't get the money from the bank, so he went back home, took the key to Wang's kitchen, and went directly to get the money.
After all, Wang is seriously ill now and can't manage the family's money. Qi Xiuzhe thought that he should first give the silver to Qin Yinnuan for circulation, and when she earns money and returns it to him, he will return the silver.
However, Qi Xiuzhe did not expect that the family only had four or five hundred thousand taels of silver in cash, which was far from the one million taels that Qin Yinnuan wanted.
You can't leave no money at home.
Qi Xiuzhe pawned the emperor's previous rewards, as well as some famous paintings and porcelain.
...
...
We were able to scrape together about 600,000 yuan.
Finally, he borrowed money from a few people and finally managed to collect one million silver coins and gave them to Qin Yinnuan.
Seven days later.
Qin Yinnuan bought up all the duck and goose feathers in Shangjing and made nearly 180 million down jackets.
Instant noodles and dried vegetable packets. Following Qin Yinnuan's idea, the Yunjing Chamber of Commerce had people make these instant noodles and dried vegetable packets that are easy to carry and can be eaten directly.
It's just that the taste is not very good, just barely edible. The advantage is that it can be carried and eaten directly or brewed, which is really convenient for marching and fighting.
However, food was limited and the things made were expensive. Qin Yinnuan contributed a lot of silver and only made about 50,000 or 60,000 yuan worth of dry food and instant noodles.
This is flashy and impractical for the common people.
It’s not as good as pancakes and rice.
Gong Shang wrote a letter to Qin Wu and told her about Qin Yinnuan's situation.
She also felt that the things Qin Yinnuan made were just novelties. The clothes were indeed warm, but the instant noodles she made were laborious and consumed a lot of oil.
She had to gather all the chefs from major restaurants together to reluctantly develop and produce the finished product according to her method.
However, if it were not for the fact that it was small and convenient to transport and easy to store, Gong Shang would have said that it was completely useless. It would be better to just give the flour directly and have the cooks make pancakes for the soldiers.
Qin Wu burned the letter after reading it.
Then he picked up a pen and wrote a letter back, and asked the messenger to send it back to Gong Shang.
Looking up at the silent night sky with rustling night wind, Qin Wu calmed herself down and went to the kitchen of the prefect's house.
Now Qin Wu and the imperial teacher are both living in the prefect's house.
After seven days of disaster relief, the people of Yucheng will not starve to death or freeze to death for the time being.
They will return to Beijing tomorrow.
The imperial teacher arranged for the prefect how to settle the people in the next few days, as well as how to prevent excessive price increases when caravans entered the city after the road was opened.
Households in Yucheng who had surplus grain stored away half a month's worth of grain, and the rest of the grain was stored in the prefecture's warehouse. After the snow disaster, the grain would be returned three times as much next year. In addition, those who paid more surplus grain could get 10% of the silver from that year's sales price.
Because it was the national teacher who asserted that there would be a good harvest next year, this was a great thing for those who had surplus grain at home, so they immediately stored their grain in the granary.
Moreover, spring is coming soon, and everyone can only hold out for a month at most, and the disaster will be over. It is a good thing for those who have grain to hand over their surplus grain and make money. Besides, the prefect does not allow the price of grain to rise, so they cannot make a fortune. This is beneficial to many people.
Therefore, the grain handed over was enough for the people of Yucheng to grit their teeth and hold out for a month.
The imperial teacher came up with a plan. People who had extra thick or old clothes could donate them to the prefect, and when the taxes were collected next year, the corresponding taxes could be reduced or exempted.
For landlords and merchants who own land, tax reduction or exemption is a great thing. They don't feel bad about just donating their unwanted old clothes.
In this way, the poor and cold people can also wear thick clothes and will not suffer from the cold.
The prefect had great admiration for the imperial teacher.
The prefect felt relieved that the problems of the disaster-stricken people had been solved.
"It is a blessing for all the people that Great Zhou has a national master." The prefect praised him, "I would like to thank the national master for saving my life on behalf of the people of Yucheng."
"You are too polite, Prefect Yu." The Imperial Master said in a cold and distant voice, "Luckily, Yucheng has a good prefect, otherwise it would be difficult for me, the Imperial Master, to save the people who were affected by the disaster."
This statement was considered as recognition by the prefect.
Prefect Yu was so excited and moved that his eyes were red. "As a prefect, I am the parent official of the people. I should serve the people. This is what I should do."
At this point, Prefect Yu added, "Oh, right, this was when Doctor Qin delivered Li's daughter-in-law. Li's daughter-in-law asked me to give this to Doctor Qin to express my gratitude for saving her life."
Two days ago, Li's daughter-in-law had a difficult delivery, and the midwife was unable to deliver the baby. She was rushed to the clinic on the way, where she bled heavily and almost died.
If Qin Wu had not stepped in to deliver the baby for Li's wife in the street, both the wife and the child would have died.
Although it was a shameful thing to deliver a baby in the street and be watched by people, human life was at stake, so no one despised or ridiculed Li's daughter-in-law for this.
Instead, he was worried about Li's daughter-in-law giving birth and prayed that she would have a smooth delivery.
The moment the child was born, the cry of the new life made the people's frowning faces relax.
It was as if light appeared before my eyes. I no longer had any hopeless thoughts of waiting to die or suffer disasters. No matter how difficult it was, I would get through it...
The people were even more impressed by Qin Wu's medical skills.
Li Erzhuang knelt down in the street to thank Qin Wu.
However, Qin Wu didn't take these things to heart.
After all, she is a doctor and has saved many people.
But for the Li family's daughter-in-law, she is her lifesaver.
She had nothing to give as a gift, so she embroidered a handkerchief herself and gave it to Qin Wu.
Coming out of the prefect’s study, the imperial teacher walked towards Qin Wu’s residence.
It just so happened that Qin Wu came to see the Imperial Master with a bowl of freshly cooked noodles in her hand.
The two met by chance.
There is a moon tonight.
The fragmented light shines on the two people.
"Have the Imperial Master and the Prefect finished their discussion?" Qin Wu asked first.
Nodding slightly, seeing the noodles in her hand, the Imperial Master said calmly, "The weather is cold. If you are hungry, you can ask the servants to make you something to eat."
Qin Wu smiled and said, "Master, let's eat together."
Qin Wu originally wondered if sending food to the Imperial Master on purpose would make him suspect that she had bad intentions.
Since we met halfway, let's just treat it as an unexpected invitation.
