Then these two kinds of medicine together would require eight taels. Right now, Liangzhou City needs to prepare at most 10,000 doses, which would be 80,000 taels?
hiss······
Such a large amount of silver could not help but make the emperor frown.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly and said, "This is the cost of my medicine. It's already very cheap. You can go and ask around. Those counterfeit medicines are already selling for thousands of dollars a pill."
How much?
A thousand gold?
Who would have so much money to buy pills?
Isn't this simply a case of brain disease?
At this moment, Shangnian stepped forward and bowed, then took out a silver from his arms and handed it to her: "I'll buy another one."
"Tsk." Shang Ruoyi sneered, "If the Prime Minister wants to buy it, I will think about how much money this medicine costs."
Shangnian was stunned
"What do you mean?" He frowned and said in a rather unfriendly tone, "Duke Lingjun, are you trying to raise the price?"
"Oh, you're asking for a higher price?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "The emperor wants to buy it, so I naturally don't dare to raise the price. Could it be that Lord Shang thinks he is the same as the emperor?"
After hearing her say this, how could Shangnian dare to talk back?
"I am also a human being. Could it be that I transformed all that gold and silver?" Shang Ruoyi glanced at him and said, "Prime Minister Shang, just give me a hundred taels for two batches of medicinal materials." She turned to Divine Doctor Jiang and said, "Divine Doctor Jiang, one hundred taels is also normal."
"I didn't expect Lord Lingjun's medicine to be so expensive."
"No, no." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I'm not like this to everyone."
Hearing her say this, the two of them looked even uglier.
Divine Doctor Jiang took out a silver note from his bosom and handed it to her, then he put the two porcelain bottles into his bosom. He wanted to see what the medicine in the porcelain bottles was.
Shang Ruoyi naturally knew what Doctor Jiang wanted to do, but she was not in a hurry at all.
Not to mention the composition of the spiritual spring water, which even the most advanced instruments could not measure. Even the medicinal materials used to make the pills, some of which were made from herbs cultivated in the space, were not visible on the surface at all.
As expected, no matter what Dr. Jiang did, he just couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't help but wonder, who on earth is this Ling Jun?
Even he couldn't determine the ingredients of these two drugs.
The one who was even more annoyed than him was Shangnian.
This time he came, he couldn't even take a hundred taels with him.
Ever since the treasury of the Shang Mansion was robbed, the money in the mansion had been difficult to circulate. In addition, Shang Yufu asked them to set up tents and provide porridge to the refugees, so the money in the mansion was almost gone.
On this trip, he only carried seven taels of silver.
Now Shang Ruoyi asked for a hundred taels, how could he get it?
Losing such a person in front of the emperor made him very angry.
Seeing his embarrassment, He Lingqi handed over a hundred taels to Shang Ruoyi.
Shangnian took the two porcelain bottles in his hands, his old face flushed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"It's a small matter." The emperor smiled and said, "This further proves that Shang Xiang is an honest official!"
After hearing him say this, Shangnian's expression relaxed.
Shang Ruoyi curled her lips. An honest official?
If he were an honest official, there would be no corrupt officials in this world.
Shangnian was originally from a poor family, but he was lucky enough to pass the imperial examination and marry Shang Ruoyi's mother, a wealthy merchant family. His life got better little by little, but he could not change his petty-bourgeois nature. Even after he ascended the throne and became a prime minister, he was still obsessed with gold, silver and jewelry.
She found some good things in Shang's storehouse.
Although not as rich as a country, it is also rich enough.
At this moment, she was completely in her space. If Shangnian knew about this, she would probably faint from anger.
The emperor looked at Shang Ruoyi and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Duke Lingjun, can you give me more of this money?" He spent 80,000 taels to buy medicine for disaster relief. If his father knew about it, he would probably be so angry that he would fall backwards.
Shang Ruoyi shook her head and said firmly: "Your Majesty, this amount of silver is already the limit. If I didn't pity the people of Liangzhou City, I would ask you for a hundred taels each. I believe that for the safety of the country, the court will have to agree in the end."
The emperor knew that she was telling the truth, but the treasury was empty, where could he raise 80,000 taels?
We can't let my father open his private vault!
뀪Based on his understanding of his father, the emperor would never open this private vault.
This silver may need to be looted from various ministers.
"Lord Lingjun, I have bought this medicine, but I can only settle the money after I return to the capital."
Shang Ruoyi nodded indifferently after hearing what he said. Since the emperor was on the same side as He Jingheng, she, the silver boy, could not escape.
"Let me go back and prepare some herbs. Someone will deliver them to you in two days."
"good."
When Doctor Jiang heard her say this, he stepped forward and said, "I can help you."
"No need." Shang Ruoyi glanced at him and said, "This is my master's secret recipe. Could it be that Divine Doctor Jiang wants to steal my skills?"
Even though his thoughts were exposed, Divine Doctor Jiang did not feel embarrassed at all. He smiled and said, "Since young friend Lingjun does not need it, I will not bother you."
Shang Ruoyi came to another isolation area.
At this time, several soldiers moved several barrels down from the car.
Just then, a strange smell entered her nostrils.
"Wait." Shang Ruoyi walked to the side of the carriage and asked in a deep voice, "What's in here?"
Just as the soldiers were about to chase her away, they saw the Emperor walking towards them.
He knelt down quickly and saluted.
Shang Ruoyi walked forward and saw that the buckets were filled with porridge. Rather than calling it porridge, it would be more appropriate to describe it as rice soup.
Each bucket has only a small amount of rice at the bottom.
Right now, food is in short supply and there is drought, so it is very difficult for them to get some rice soup.
Shang Ruoyi frowned, the strange smell was coming from here.
She scooped a little with a spoon and put it under her nose.
Why does it smell a bit like corruption in here?
She was startled and asked in a low voice: "Where did you get this water?"
Seeing her sharp tone, He Lingqi knew there was something wrong with the porridge: "I'm asking you a question, where did you get this water from?"
"Your Highness, this water is taken from the river."
"Take me to see it." Shang Ruoyi said in a deep voice.
If she guessed correctly, the reason why so many people got the plague was directly related to this water.
Soon, they came to a river.
"It's right here." A soldier pointed to a very shallow river. "This is where the people of Liangzhou City used to get water. Years of drought have almost dried up the water here."
At this moment, a very faint smell of corruption came over.
Shang Ruoyi was shocked. It turned out to be the problem with the water.
