Chapter 1693 Arrogance
Mr. Hu Bufang said: "It's done very well. Most of the convenience medicines in the market now come from Yuanzi Medicine. Because it was the first to sell convenience medicines, it has accumulated a reputation among the people, and its business is better than that of Chushen." The medicine shop and the Shilu medicine shop are better."
Added another sentence: "However, the convenient medicines from Yuanzi Medicine Store are for treating colds and coughs, and are sold relatively cheaply. Rich people prefer to buy the convenient medicines from Chushen Medicine Store to maintain their health."
Chushen Medicine Store sells various health-preserving pills because she is the husband of the founding princess. They are extremely expensive. The business can only be done among high-ranking officials and nobles, and cannot be extended to the private sector.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Emperor Jingyuan sneered: "Since business is doing so well, let them donate medicine."
One sentence severely damaged the vitality of Yuanzi Medicine Store and Chushen Medicine Store.
Yes, I will give them an order from the head of the family to prepare the medicinal materials. Mr. Fang responded quickly, for fear that Emperor Jingyuan would remember that there was still a Shilu medicine shop.
"There is also medicine for knife wounds. The soldiers in the northwest are in urgent need. Let their medicine shop deliver medicine nearby. If they dare to delay the war and cause the city to fall, they will not have to live." Emperor Jingyuan will not be polite to Chu Shen Medicine. The princess is dead, and Chushen Medicine Store is still doing business based on the name of the emperor's relatives, so naturally he has to receive some benefits.
"Yes." Mr. Fang also talked about collecting 10% of the taxes from shops in various places: "The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple have already agreed on the ceremony. The three ministries and one temple will go to various places tomorrow to collect taxes. Imperial Medical Office I will also accompany you to clean up poisonous insects and treat the people in various places ahead."
Emperor Jingyuan requested that the Ministry of War go with him, and he also gave the Ministry of War an oral instruction. If any family dared not pay taxes, the people from the Ministry of War would kill them directly.
Emperor Jingyuan frowned: "It's too slow. We must collect taxes from all shops in the capital within ten days, buy supplies and send them to the soldiers!"
Taxes from all the shops in the capital will be collected in ten days. Your Majesty will not leave any time for the wealthy families.
I am afraid that the accounts of the shops in the capital cannot be saved, so we should hurry up and ask the shops in Zhili and other places to prepare their accounts.
Yes. Mr. Fang responded.
Emperor Jingyuan glanced at Imperial Physician Shao and said to Master Fang: "Allocate a hundred taels of gold from the Ministry of Household Affairs and send it to the northwest along with the army's supplies to the Gu family. The Gu family has made meritorious service in fighting the army and making medicine, so she should be treated well. I will reward her. Gold, I hope she will continue to assist her husband and make contributions to the court together."
Since Tiaohua likes this young couple, he will treat Gu Shi favorably and give her some benefits.
However, Qin Sanlang is going to be used to fight against the enemy, so he cannot be careless about his promotion. It is better to suppress it first and seal off a thousand households for the time being.
Physician Lin looked at He'an Mansion, which was full of busy pedestrians, and said in surprise: "...There is no parasitic disease here? Why is it still so lively?"
The junior officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs feel that this situation is very good. The shops are open and the stalls are set up, so the Ministry of Household Affairs can collect taxes. If the shops are closed, they will not be able to collect money.
After hearing this, the ancient prefect was very proud, but he suppressed his smile and said, "You sirs don't know. There are also poisonous pests in He'an Prefecture, but there are fewer than other prefectures."
Physician Lin had received the news before he came. After hearing this, he asked: "But Dr. Wu prepared the insect attractant in advance?"
The ancient prefect was shocked. The court actually knew about this. Will it punish the Gu family and blame the Gu family for sending the prescription back to He'an Prefecture after submitting the prescription?
Physician Lin saw that Gu Zhifu did not speak, and looked like he was thinking of words. He smiled and said: "Gu Zhifu, don't panic, this is a good thing, and your Majesty will not blame you."
Phew, the ancient magistrate breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Emperor Jingyuan's temper and was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would be slapped on the head.
"You guys talk so much, can you stop talking? The soldiers in the northwest are still waiting for money to be paid to the army. Go to the government office to make preparations and take us to the shops to collect taxes!" The person sent by the Ministry of War was a rough guy, the most annoying. The civil servants talk in terse words, and they are too tired to speak. Sometimes they still dont understand, so it would be more practical to go to the cashier quickly.
"This brother is right, let's go back to the Yamen." The ancient prefect took the officials from the Yamen and picked up the officials from the three ministries and one temple.
And the news that many high-ranking officials came to the capital soon spread throughout He'an Prefecture.
"The imperial court sent many adults here and brought us a lot of medicinal materials. I heard that some medicine shop gave them to us for free. We can get a lot of medicinal materials for free this time."
Oh, its not uncommon to get such unlucky things for free.
"You idiot, how can this be called unlucky stuff? There is so much shortage of medicinal materials nowadays, so of course we have to drag it home if it is given to us for free. Even if we don't need it, we can just sell it and we can get a lot of money."
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she put her hands on her hips and cursed: "You bunch of conscienceless people, this is what the court gives us for medical treatment, but you want to sell it, you are so greedy, how can you be ashamed?!"
With these words, a group of women around them gave up and pointed at her and said: "The most shameless and greedy person in Manfu City is you, Mrs. Chen, why do you blame us!"
Ms. Chen sneered and said: "Oh, why am I talking about you? Just because my niece made the insect attractant! I scold you just to give you face. If you don't accept it, go back and ask your niece to make the insect attractant too. Ah. Im afraid your niece will only create poison and harm people, let alone making medicine!
After finishing his quarrel, he raised his chin high and looked at the women with both nostrils, looking extremely arrogant.
