C147 sky-high medical fee(2)

"Imperial Concubine Gu can name a price. I, Deng, have a thin family property. As long as you are willing to help me save my beloved concubine, I'll let you have as much as you want."

Gu Qing Li pursed her lips and smiled, looking at him first. This man was in the silk business, his name was Deng Shengchuan, and he had 35 branches in the whole of Dongyuan Country. Of all the people present, he was clearly the true heavyweight. The rest were only little gentlemen.

He looked to be in his early thirties, with a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing, but in reality, he was over forty years old. His eyes were filled with the cunning eyes of a businessman, and when he mentioned his beloved concubine, there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

"What kind of illness does Boss Deng's beloved concubine suffer from?" Gu Qingli hadn't seen anyone, so she couldn't tell if they were terminally ill or not.

Deng Shengchuan frowned and sighed: "For no reason at all, I passed out. My face is dark and thin, and I occasionally twitched. There's only about a month until the day he talks about. "

Gu Qingli smiled. "I can't guarantee that I'll be able to cure Boss Deng since my wife hasn't seen the patient, but I can promise Boss Deng that if I can't, I'll pay a hundred silver taels. If you can cure... The price that this side of the concubine offers is not low. "

"Tell me about it?"

Gu Qingli only extended a single finger.

"A thousand taels of silver?" Deng Shengchuan smiled, "No problem."

"Thousand Stone White Rice."

Deng Shengchuan's face changed, and his eyes met with the eyes of the crowd. He could see from the eyes of several merchants that they were opposed to the idea.

"This... Deng is a cloth merchant, not a grain merchant, where does he get a thousand stones of white rice? Moreover, Gu Beifei clearly knows what season it is. Even if I'm rich, where did I get a thousand stone white rice from? "

"This matter is Boss Deng's business, I don't care." Gu Qingli chuckled and then casually said, "As for whether or not you're willing to pay the price, that's Boss Deng's choice."

She looked around and pointed at a squire wearing a black silk robe. "This …"

The squire was not young anymore and looked extremely thin. He spoke weakly as he panted, "surnamed Zhou, you opened a small grain village here, and we still have several hundred stone's worth of rice noodles in stock. If Imperial Concubine Gu can save my life, I'm willing to donate five hundred stone."

Gu Qingli smiled. "Alright!" She knew that 500 stones was nothing to a grain merchant, but now that this surnamed Zhou had started, there would definitely be people following her.

She continued to take her pulse, apply her needle, prescribe her medicine, and the only thing she said was to ask about the condition of Lord Zhou's illness.

"Come back to me in three months."

Squire Zhou's eyes widened. "Is that all?"

Gu Qingli said, "Don't tell me you don't feel that your stuffy chest has improved?" The chest pain from the earlier cough had disappeared? However, if you really think that the recipe given by our wife has miraculous effects, and if you think that the formula given by her is effective, you can use five hundred stone rations to exchange for a second prescription three months from now to completely cure your illness. "

The smile in her eyes was obvious. This famine was bound to continue into the coming spring. What was needed was not just the immediate outcome.

Squadron Leader Zhou was dumbstruck, but after taking a few deep breaths and walking a few steps, he actually felt relaxed and relaxed. He then blurted out, "As expected, Godly Doctor!"

Everyone saw that the squire was barely lifted off the palanquin. He was so far from the main entrance that he almost gasped for breath as he walked to and fro in the living room. He actually looked like a healthy person.

He gritted his teeth, "Alright, I promise you!"

More and more people agreed to Gu Qing Li's conditions, all she wanted was food, and although these people might not all be stocking up on food, at least they all had some wealth, and if they agreed to her conditions, they could then find a way to buy more.

In any case, Gu Qingli wanted to take care of Chi Yue's long term local livelihood, not just right now. If she could get the food that appeared, she could solve the current problem. Then, she could continue to get more food, and she could solve the problem at the end of the day.

After a while, the seven to eight merchants had all agreed to Gu Qing Li's conditions. Even the sons of the two old men from before had agreed to donate 200 stones. After all, they had all received a favor from her.

However, he had actually received a total of 1000 stones. As for the rest, he had signed a IOU and was only able to go to the nearby prefectures to purchase them in the future. The current crisis had yet to be resolved.

The guests dispersed one by one. Gu Qing Li shook his arm sourly. After all, it took a lot of energy to apply acupuncture with luck.

Zhu Wei An had never had a chance to speak, he could only watch from beginning to end with his mouth agape. Only after sending off the guests did he exclaim, "Imperial Concubine Gu's medical skills are indeed godly!"

Gu Qing Li looked at Xiao Yi Xiu, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled and looked at her lovingly, until she blinked and said in a slightly depressed voice, "1000 stones …" It's never enough to help. "

One thousand stones was equal to fifty thousand catties. For a relief operation, twenty catties per person could provide relief for two thousand five hundred people. However, how could tens of thousands of victims be able to do that? As for twenty catties of rice, that was only the equivalent of twenty days of adults.

Zhu Wei An said carefully, "Today, except for Deng Shengchuan, the rest of the people who arrived were no more than ordinary rich merchants and gentry. The ones who were truly amassed here were the biggest grain merchant, Shi Zhenfeng, and the president of the Crimson Yue Chamber of Commerce, You Chenguang."

"They're not here?" As expected, it wasn't that easy to get to the scene. Even if Xiao Yixiu was a prince and they followed the rules of the shopping mall to do their own business and didn't violate the laws of the country, why should they show him respect?

Zhu Wei An sighed. If Deng Shengchuan didn't have a request to ask for due to his beloved concubine, he wouldn't have come here just in case. The rest of the little squire merchants had only reluctantly arrived because they could not afford to offend him.

Gu Qing Li followed behind Xiao Yi Xiu as they walked along the dike of a small river south of the prefecture city.

The river was clear and shallow, the banks of the river overhanging the banks, the lotus petals rising to the sky, the lotus petals blooming. The summer wind brought the fragrance to the tip of one's nose, penetrating the heart.

"This water can nourish and destroy all things. "Look, once it roars, even the sky and earth will change color, let alone humans."

Gu Qingli said, "Are you worrying about repairing the dam and building the dike?"

Xiao Yixiu glanced at her with a smile in his eyes. "You've been working on this matter for the past few days. Don't tell me you already have a plan?"

Water and medicine are the same." The so-called bloodline desired to pass through, the essence energy desired to do so. In terms of balance? The Canon of Void says: The blood is in the body, the river is in the earth, and the cold is in the ditch, and the qi in the body is in the body. Although I am not proficient in water conservancy, it is still possible for me to apply medical science to water conservancy.

Xiao Yi Xiu stopped and listened to her theory of healing water with surprise. He couldn't help but ask, "It's so fresh and sounds quite reasonable. But even though the reason is the same, what should we do about it?"

Gu Qingli bit her lower lip and smiled at him. "You always have so many secrets. This time, I'll keep some to myself and reveal them later."
