Two days later.
News has arrived from Dayuan City.
Those who originally suffered from tuberculosis.
After drinking the medicinal soup, the cough gradually improved.
Therefore.
The prescription was approved.
In an instant.
Herbal remedies for tuberculosis were snapped up.
at the same time.
Some merchants, in order to sell related herbs at high prices...
They started closing down and stopped selling medicine.
However.
Ye Ling already had a plan.
The decree was issued immediately.
Any business that hoards medicine will have its pharmacy shut down and will never be allowed to open for business again.
Within a single day, twenty pharmacies were shut down.
The merchants were also frightened.
Don't look back and find that you haven't made any money, and your pharmacy has been shut down by the authorities.
That would be a losing proposition.
Immediately, all pharmacies dared not stockpile any more goods.
They dared not raise prices any further.
I honestly dispensed the medicine according to the customer's needs.
But despite this.
The herbs were being consumed at a rapid pace.
Later on, the stock gradually ran out.
And many patients are still waiting to buy medicine to treat their illness.
Ye Ling began to worry.
It takes several years for this herb to grow from planting to maturity.
Given the current shortage of medicines, how can we solve this problem?
Just then, Consort Gao stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, my brother was originally in the herbal medicine business."
"Right now, a batch of herbs has matured and is ready to be harvested."
"Now is the time when the people are in dire need. I can discuss this with my brother and ask him to transport the herbs to Dayuan City as soon as possible, so that they can be given to the common people free of charge."
Ye Ling nodded.
"Consort Gao, I know that your starting point is for the sake of all the people."
"However, your brother is in the herbal medicine business, after all, to make money."
"Wouldn't that mean he'd lose a lot?"
Consort Gao shook her head.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, my brother is a magnanimous man. To relieve Your Majesty's worries and for the sake of the common people, he will certainly be generous in giving!"
Ye Ling nodded.
"Well, Consort Gao, then I'll leave this matter to you."
Consort Gao nodded.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I would like to say."
“My stepmother’s family also runs a herbal medicine business, and it’s much larger than my brother’s.”
"Your Majesty, I believe that at this critical moment, my stepmother's family will also help you overcome your difficulties."
Ye Qianqian, who was playing with the gold lock nearby, was taken aback.
I understood instantly.
[Tsk tsk tsk, Consort Gao's move is probably killing two birds with one stone!]
On the one hand, she proactively demanded that her brother provide the Chinese herbal medicine unconditionally; on the other hand, she also dragged her stepmother's family into the matter.
This puts her stepmother's family in a difficult position! If they bring out all the herbs, they won't make any money; if they don't, they risk angering the Emperor, which could lead to their annihilation.
[It seems that Consort Gao still harbors resentment over her mother's death and is constantly trying to kill her concubine.]
Actually, she didn't do anything wrong. Her stepmother killed her mother, so her revenge was only natural.
However, Consort Gao is truly a clever woman; she knows what methods to use to avenge her mother while simultaneously keeping herself out of the fray.
[Now, there's definitely going to be a good show!]
Ye Ling nodded.
"Then I'll leave this matter entirely to you."
I'm giving you a chance to get revenge.
Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on yourself.
Consort Gao quickly left the palace on the Emperor's orders.
After returning to her parents' home.
Consort Gao explained her purpose.
“Father, now is the time when we need medicinal herbs. My brother has also made a lot of money over the years. I believe that now is the time for my brother to repay the Emperor’s kindness.”
Takasugi nodded: "I understand what my sister means."
“Nowadays, herbs for treating tuberculosis are becoming increasingly scarce. Even if my sister hadn’t said anything, I had already decided to harvest the herbs I had gathered throughout the Yuan Dynasty and give them away for free to people suffering from tuberculosis.”
Consort Gao breathed a sigh of relief.
"With brother's words, sister is relieved."
"However, Father, now that my elder brother has decided to share the Emperor's burdens, I think my stepmother must have the same idea, right?"
Duke Gao was taken aback.
"this--"
"What? Does Father think that my stepmother's family should remain uninvolved in this matter?"
Duke Gao shook his head.
"No, what I mean is that it is, after all, Wan'er's family's business, and it is not convenient for me, as her son-in-law, to interfere."
"Is Father unwilling to get involved? Or is he unwilling to let his stepmother's family not earn money?"
Consort Gao could see through her father's thoughts at a glance.
She knew it all too well.
The fact that the father favored his concubine over his wife has already caused a great uproar in Dayuan City.
Everyone knows that when Chen Wan'er's first wife was pregnant, she pretended to be a close friend and sent her a lot of tonics.
However, this caused his wife to have a difficult childbirth and die from postpartum hemorrhage.
Gao Shan wanted to kill Chen Wan'er to avenge his mother back then.
It was Duke Gao who stopped him.
The father's incompetence.
Enraged, Takasugi left the Duke's mansion.
Living alone away from home.
If it weren't for this summons from Consort Gao...
He wouldn't choose to come back.
Gao Shan was not surprised by the Duke of Gao's attitude.
"You still cherish Chen Wan'er as much as ever!"
Duke Gao frowned.
