Chapter 678, Loyalty Arch
Because of hiring Ge Xun, Daohua was very happy all the way back to Taohua Village.
Looking at the cheerful apprentice, Gu Jian was quite speechless, but he still agreed with this girl's vision. He had communicated with Ge Xun these days, and this person did have some accomplishments in medical skills.
He was very aware of the effect of a good doctor on the wounded. Yeyang went to Northern Xinjiang, and he was not less worried. He sent people there, and he and his apprentice could feel relieved.
At the beginning of March, the group returned to Taohua Village. When they came back, Daohua took Ge Xun to visit her pharmacy.
The pharmacy is newly built. With the gradual increase of the pharmaceutical equipment added, the pharmacy in Gu Jian is a bit smaller, and Daohua has built a large pharmacy in Zhuangzi.
Seeing that the pharmacy was full of glass instruments that he had never seen before, Ge Xun's eyes were a little bit unable to come over: "Miss Yan, all the medicines you gave me before were made from these things?"
Daohua smiled and nodded: "Yeah, don't look at the variety of these instruments, they are not complicated to use, you can just look at them more. What's really difficult is to experimentally research the formula of the medicine."
Because the Sun’s fleet was going to the north at the end of March, Daohua also wanted Ge Xun to go to Beijiang earlier, so she told him to make preparations, and then she went to the pharmacy to make medicine. She wanted to do more. Order medicine to Xiao Yeyang and his two brothers.
At the same time, the capital, the palace.
Because the Eight Kings fled to Northern Xinjiang and seized three frontier cities before and after, even if Xia Teng's army regained one city later, there were still two cities in the hands of the Eight Kings. With the defense of the city, coupled with the alliance with Tatar, the war in Northern Xinjiang was justified. So stalemate came down.
During this period, there was no war in Northern Xinjiang, but small battles continued.
Hundreds of thousands of troops at the border crossing are not withdrawing, nor is it not withdrawing.
The emperor looked angrily at the frontier report, and threw Zhezi to the ground in anger.
The officials who were called to discuss the matter all lowered their heads, not daring to make a loud noise.
The intention of the Eight Kings is very obvious. They just want to delay time. The hundreds of thousands of troops consume an astronomical amount of food every day. Over time, the court will definitely not be able to support it.
The air pressure in the hall was very low, and finally the first assistant Yang Chenghua stood up with his scalp: "The emperor, the provinces collected food last year. Xinjiang urgently needs medicinal materials to save lives."
The emperor rubbed his swollen forehead, and the food was good to collect, but the medicinal materials were precious and rare things, and there were not many people who planted them. He just wanted to order the collection, but he was afraid that he could not collect much.
Moreover, the price of medicine is much more expensive than food.
In the past two years, due to the two gold mines discovered in Ningmen Mansion, the national treasury has been filled a lot, but the war has consumed too much, and the national treasury now has little surplus, and it is impossible to buy medicinal materials.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
The treasury is insufficient. Yang Chenghua knew about this and understood what the emperor meant. He sighed as he looked at the dull colleagues, and this time he was going to be a villain again: "The emperor, the country is in trouble. Responsible, the minister believes that it can encourage drug dealers to donate."
The news spread, he was afraid that he would be hated by the major drug dealers.
Hearing this, the emperor cast his eyes down and pondered. The method was a good one. However, all the major pharmacists were backed by family members, and they were very slippery. In the end, they might not be able to receive many medicinal materials.
If you have less, let it be less. It's better than nothing at all.
The emperor wanted to appoint Jiang Shizi of Chengen Gongfu to do this. The Jiang family was the head of the family, and the Jiang family came forward. How could other families give a little bit of face.
However, when he went to court the next day, Jiang Shizi, who had received the news in advance, took sick leave.
Looking at the empty place where Jiang Zhengqing should have been standing, the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Jiang family reached its culmination.
Over the years, the Jiang family has enjoyed the supreme honor brought by the emperor’s uncle’s family, but has never fulfilled the corresponding obligations. On the contrary, they have not been confronted with him less often, and have hindered him everywhere.
Good, very good!
Finally, the emperor weighed it up and appointed Wu Jingyi of the Five-Army Capital Governor’s Mansion to do this.
Because of Dongli and Caiju, Gu Jian knew the news of Beijing.
Dongli looked at Gu Jian hesitantly, and finally couldn’t help but said, “Old master, soldiers in the northern borders are in urgent need of medicinal materials now, that. That.”
Gu Jian raised his eyes and glanced at him: "What is that?"
Dongli bit his scalp and said, "Girl Yan seems to have a lot of medicinal materials in her hand." When he said this, he didn't dare to say anything.
The old man protects the calf very well, Xiao Xiangyan’s things, looking for death!
Gu Jian snorted and didn't say anything, but after Daohua sent Uncle Ge Xun to the ship in Northern Xinjiang, he still raised the matter unintentionally.
As for whether the apprentice donated or not, he didn't mean to intervene at all.
After Daohua knew, her mind turned and she looked at Gu Jian with a little excitement: "Master, I heard that donating things to the court will be commended by the emperor himself. Is this true?"
Gu Jian glanced at his apprentice, and said weirdly: "That's how you want to be commended by the emperor?"
Daohua nodded: "Of course." After speaking, he paused, "You also know that the Yan family has no background. Being commended by the emperor can improve the Yan family's reputation among the people and officials."
Gu Jian understood what the apprentice meant. To tell the apprentice to Ye Yang honestly, he was not unconcerned. The relationship between the two is one thing, but the difference in family status is another. If the gap between the two families can be narrowed That's naturally the best.
Don’t say, it’s really the fastest way to improve your reputation.
"If you do something beneficial to the court, you will naturally be commended."
Daohua asked again: "Master, how much do you think I should donate? It's best to let the emperor reward the Yan family with an archway!" The commendation was too small, she was afraid it would be useless.
Hearing this, Dongli and Caiju both looked over.
The memorial arch is not an ordinary reward, Miss Yan really dare to speak.
Gu Jian looked at his apprentice silently, and then asked after a long while: "How much can you donate?"
Taohua silently counted, and stretched out her hand to compare the word ‘two’.
Gu Jian didn’t answer, Dongli shook his head first and said: “Twenty thousand stones are too few, this can’t get the royal archway.”
Daohua squinted at him, "I look down on who, what 20,000 shi, it is 200,000 shi." After that, he looked at Gu Jian baba, "Master, is it enough? If it is not enough, I can add some grain. "
Gu Jian looked at Daohua dumbly, took a deep breath, and asked suspiciously: "Do you really have 200,000 stone medicinal materials?"
Ina Hua nodded: "Of course, there are all kinds of commonly used medicines. Is it enough? If it is not enough"
Gu Jian directly cut off Daohua's words, the apprentice is too rich, and his heart can't bear it: "Enough."
Daohua looked overjoyed and said quickly: "Then I will immediately notify Yan Shouhou to prepare medicinal materials!"
Looking at the apprentice who was running away, Gu Jian looked at Dongli and Caiju who hadn’t recovered yet: “This time I’ll write to Xiaowu myself.”
200,000 stone medicinal materials, Xiaowu must give the Yan family an archway.
Dongli used the means of expedited communication, and Gu Jian’s letter came to the emperor’s imperial case a few days later.
Seeing that the Yan family donated 200,000 stone medicinal materials, the emperor stood up at once, and was shocked by Gong Gong An and Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi who had come to discuss state affairs.
The emperor walked a few times excitedly, and then slowly calmed down.
Uncle is really his lucky star, Wu Jingyi has collected tens of thousands of stone medicinal materials for so long, and his uncle gave him 200,000 stones as soon as he took it.
As for the Yan family who donated medicinal materials.
200,000 stone medicinal materials were donated when the court was in urgent need. Even if the uncle didn’t mention it, he would give it a good reward.
The emperor sat back on the throne and looked at Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi and said: "The prefect of Ningmen Prefecture Yan Zhigao donated 200,000 stone medicinal materials. How do you think I should reward him?"
Hearing this, Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi were surprised at first, and then their faces were full of joy.
With these 200,000 stone medicinal materials, it can relieve the need of medicine for the soldiers at the border.
The emperor did not wait for the two to answer. He asked Mr. An to prepare his pen and ink, and then wrote the words loyalty and righteousness: “The Yan family donated medicinal materials when the court was in difficulty.
