Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 823;

Chapter 770;
Even though there were only seven or eight people left at the moment, the officials from Prince Qin's Mansion were still used to the hard-line style of fighting to the end. The group of people over there had just fallen from Guanyin, and Fang Xuanling on this side immediately retorted;
"Report to Your Majesty!"

Fang Xuanling put all his energy into breastfeeding, his face was flushed, and he barely suppressed the chaotic voice;

"Your Majesty, please listen to your minister."

Seeing Fang Xuanling coming out and shouting at the top of his voice, many officials from other factions scoffed.

"Humph!"

"Who doesn't know that he got close to that guy?"

"That's right, the business of this pharmacy, it is estimated that they will add some money."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? No matter the money, can they support the second wife of the Li family with all their heart?"

"Don't worry, let's see how he argues!"

"Just wait and see, I reckon, they won't give up easily."

"Yeah, using the imperial court as a backer and earning your own money, you will definitely be able to do this."

"That's right, it won't be a loss!"

"If it were me, I would support it too!"

Li Shimin was very unhappy when he saw many ministers jumping up and down to object, and seeing his subordinates come out to speak, Li Shimin took two deep breaths;

"Ai Qing is not in a hurry, just speak slowly."

"According to the order!"

"Your Majesty, the minister said, Mr. Li's business will not share the money with His Majesty. In the final analysis, it is his family's business. I will not make any excuses for this."

"Since this is the case, what else can I say about Aiqing? I'm confused. It's not good for the court. I only have to pay, so how can I support it? It's hard to say! No wonder others don't agree."

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry. Please listen to me and explain the things behind the transaction."

"Forget it. Zuo Zuo is not very busy today, so I will listen to you, but I have something to say first, and I will never agree to things that are not beneficial to the court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the opportunity to defend myself."

"Before I defend myself, I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor, when people are sick, should they be treated by doctors or should they be left to fend for themselves?"

What does Li Shimin not understand?Playing a fool of course.

"Does it need to be said? Of course, I have to ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. How can it be considered filial piety if I let it go?"

Fang Xuanling didn't show any expression of laughing or cursing, and his face was full of serious expressions;
"Your Majesty the Emperor is wise, then I would like to ask Your Majesty, how many doctors are there in Chang'an City? Can the people in Chang'an City be treated by doctors when they get sick?"

"I'm not troubled by this love. I'm not a foolish emperor. I've also gone out to check the four cities countless times. I've also carefully counted the doctor's house and the pharmacies in the four cities.
According to my observation, there are probably more than 40 doctors in Chang'an City, plus their own apprentices, there are about 150 doctors.

As for the pharmacies, I remember clearly that there are four cities in the east, west, north, and south, and there are a total of seventeen pharmacies, big and small. Is what I said right, Fang Fushe? "

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is accurate. According to my impression when I was on duty in the household department, regardless of their names, there are 43 doctors in Chang'an City. Every disciple of these medical families is registered in the household department. There are a total of 130 and eight apprentices, and His Majesty said that 150 or so is not wrong."

"The room servant shoots with a good memory!"

"Your Majesty, would you please listen to me and say something more?"

"allow!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm stupid. I can't remember how many people there are in Chang'an City. I wonder if Your Majesty can remember?"

"I remember clearly that there were 83 people last summer. This is not counting the aliens who came over the Silk Road after the opening of the Western Regions. Speaking of the population of Chang'an, I am confident that within three years, I will call them Han Chinese." The number of the people exceeded a million."

Li Shimin was originally a man of great talent and boldness. After cleaning up the East Turks this time, he was even more proud. He stood up from the dragon bed and looked at the ministers below with confidence. His voice was loud and lingering!
"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Facing the sparse coping sounds, Li Shimin's heart suddenly became murderous. He pretended not to care about the embarrassing situation at this time, and sat back.

However, Qian Dehai, who was familiar with Li Shimin's internal servant, knew best that as long as the officials of the opposing factions came out to sing the opposite, they might not be able to survive for three years.

The emperor will definitely look for opportunities to find excuses to confiscate these people's families and exterminate their families. In fact, they have ignored many problems.

In the past three years, the emperor's favorite thing to do was to exterminate the three clans and confiscate their property. Except for a few special characters, they kept their lives after being knocked down, and all the others were exterminated by the three clans.

Qian De is still looking at those ministers who don't care like an idiot. These fools don't even look back at the dead people who are against the emperor. They don't even have a grandson, and half-year-old boys are all beheaded. Killing the name, do these fools think the emperor is a benevolent guy?
"Fang Fushe, you continue to talk, I want to hear what you want to say? Hmph!"

"According to the order!"

"Your Majesty, what I want to say is that in Chang'an City, which has nearly a million people, there are more than 40 experienced doctors, and even those apprentices can diagnose diseases, that is, about 140.

I dare not ask His Majesty for advice, maybe he can cure millions of people? "

"this?"

"Ugh!"

Li Shimin sighed, pretending to be thinking and frowning!
"Probably can't be cured."

"Humph! To report to Your Majesty, the house servant only mentioned one point to confuse the public. Please don't believe it. In fact, the more than 40 doctors do not have jobs every day, and the dozen or so drugstores do not have jobs. It’s not every day that business is booming.”

"Oh? Fang Aiqing, are Wang Shangshu's words true?"

"Return to His Majesty, it is true."

"Oh, since that's the case, then there's no need to waste any more. A dozen drugstores are enough for the people in Chang'an City."

"His Majesty!"

Du Ruhui took action.

"Du Pushe, do you have something to say?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Oh, then Ai Qing said it slowly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I want to report to Your Majesty, it's not that the people are not sick, and it's not that they don't want to go to the doctor on purpose, but that the people look down on the doctor. Your Majesty, how many people are sick and wait to die on the couch. They can't afford medicine and look down on the doctor. Please be aware of it! Don't be fooled by those treacherous villains with wolfish ambitions."

"You! Du Pushe, does this old man have any grudge against you?"

"No hatred! I have hatred with anyone."

"Then the old man was the only one talking just now, who is the treacherous villain in your mouth referring to? Why is the old man so ambitious? In this majestic golden palace, I asked the house servant to shoot back the innocent person, otherwise the old man will never give up with you! Hmph! It's really unreasonable!"

"Well, since Wang Shangshu wants to explain it, I'm here to ask you, are the people in Chang'an city lying at home waiting to die because the cost of seeing a doctor is too high?"

"The old man doesn't understand what Du Pushe means."

Du Ruhui turned to look at the old man who was talking, with a disgusted expression on his face;

"Oh? Wang Shangshu can't understand? How strange is this? Why do the common people sit at home when they can afford the disease? Don't they want to live a few more years? Or don't they want to get rid of the torture of the disease quickly? I don’t understand, hahahaha!”

Facing Du Ruhui's yin and yang strangeness, the old man who came out to object had his chest heave, so he had no choice but to find a way to justify;
"There are many differences among the people in the world. There are some people who have money and are willing to spend one. There are also many people who are like this. If they don't go to see a doctor themselves, what does it have to do with the price? What do you colleagues think?"

"The Shangshu is right."

"That's right! The matter of the Li family opening a pharmacy, how did it involve the high and low of seeing a doctor? What kind of reasoning is this?"

"That's right, the common people are reluctant to spend money, and they are petty. Who is to blame? Go to the doctor when you are sick. Doesn't the pain stop after the diagnosis and treatment?"

"That's right, Yuanwai Liu is right, so why don't you blame yourself?"

Seeing a dozen capable people around him come out to help, the talking old man looked at Du Ruhui triumphantly.

Du Ruhui shrugged his shoulders;

"Yes, there are more than 40 doctors, none of them will turn away patients, and the pharmacies are also open for business. People don't go to the doctor themselves, who can be blamed?"

The other seven people from Prince Qin's mansion knew the abilities of the head of the eighteen scholars, so they all held back and said nothing, but they all looked over there with angry faces.

"Don't dare to ask, which street is Wang Shangshu's medicine shop?"

"The old man's family... Du Pushe, this is helping His Majesty solve problems, why are you talking about the old man's family property?"

"Hehe! It's nothing, I just said it casually, please don't mind, Shangshu, please forgive me."

"Hmph! It's just nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, I have been suffering from a cold for the past few days. I have been diagnosed and treated in the pharmacy of Wang Shangshu's house. I will report the expenses to Your Majesty. Please allow His Majesty the Emperor."

"allow!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this is not a serious problem. I gave your Majesty the food and grass for your 20 cavalry on the grassland until late at night. If you didn't pay attention, you got a cold. It's not a big deal."

As soon as Du Ruhui mentioned this, the remaining seven officials above the sixth rank and above in the Qin Palace immediately followed up.

"Your Majesty's 20 sons are of course important. No matter how busy Du Pushe is, he should."

"Yes, yes, after all, there are 20 armors to eat, it's not a trivial matter!"

"Isn't it? After eating a full stomach, His Majesty's iron cavalry will have enough strength to fight."

"That's right, I heard that His Majesty's sons and daughters beheaded many heads during this dispatch of troops!"

"Isn't that right? Yesterday I was looking at the number of military achievements reported by the Ministry of War. There was an eighth-rank school lieutenant who managed to get nineteen heads in a few months. It's extremely powerful!"

"What? Bai Yuanwai, did you read it correctly? Nineteen heads? Can he hang it on the victory hook?"

"You don't understand this, do you? The heads of the people killed several times, two or three at a time, how can they not be hanged? Your Majesty has arranged five or six iron hooks in the waist of each son, why can't they be hung?"

Officials from Prince Qin's Mansion regarded the Golden Palace as a vegetable market, chatted with each other, and talked about the 20 army cavalry at every turn,

There are still a few that are always victory hooks, human heads and so on, which frightened the civil officials of the opposition on the other side.

Those are pure civilian officials who have never participated in military affairs. Can you not be afraid of bloody heads?Several of them had cold sweat on their heads...

Looking at the eight people who were born in the Qin Palace, they chattered very vigorously, as if nothing happened.

Even Li Shimin at the top listened with gusto. When he mentioned his 20 iron armor, Li Shimin wished that his confidantes would talk about him for three days and three nights!

"Aiqing has worked hard. For the affairs of the court, she was so tired that she couldn't rest in the middle of the night. She is really a role model for all officials. Come here! Give me a thousand dollars!"

"Your Majesty has a decree. Du Pushe is worried about the affairs of the country, so he will give you a thousand dollars."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Aiqing, get up quickly."

"only!"

"Your Majesty, the cold comes at the right time, and I didn't care about the cost of seeing a doctor before. Fortunately, I have learned a lot this time."

"Oh? Tell me quickly. I also want to hear how much money the common people need to spend to see a doctor."

"only!"

"Your Majesty, the doctor who treated this minister was Xia Zuo from Xicheng, Xia Yizhi."

"I know this person. He only uses one finger to get the pulse. I heard that he is the disciple of a teacher and disciple of Mr. Sun, the leader of the Taoist sect. He has real skills in his hands, but I don't know how much he charges for diagnosis?"

"If you go back to His Majesty, it's not too much, and you will be charged 38."

"38, it's really not many, it's very fair and conscientious, but thirty or forty years ago, it was not a small number for a common people's family."

Seeing His Majesty's affirmation by shaking his head, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately answered;
"Your Majesty is wise, the annual repair expenses of the people's family on farm tools are only more than a hundred dollars, and a medical treatment costs forty dollars, which is quite a lot, Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are quite a few."

"you do not say!"

Du Ruhui waited until everyone on his own had finished speaking, and quickly picked up the conversation;

"Reporting to Your Majesty, although thirty or forty dollars is a bit much, the common people dare to grit their teeth and see a doctor, so they won't be sick and waiting to die."

"Oh? Then why..."

"Your Majesty, you don't know, there are quite a lot of other expenses, just on the herbs."

"Oh? Tell me, Aiqing, what kind of medicinal materials did you grab and how much money did you spend?"

"According to the order!"

Du Ruhui recalled the process of buying medicine and seeing a doctor, and explained carefully;

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the herbs used for wind-cold are just those few kinds, ephedra, cinnamon twig, almond, licorice, if there is sweating, and slow pulse appears in the pulse condition, it is generally considered to be the syndrome of wind-cold surface deficiency, you can use Guizhi, white peony root, licorice, ginger, jujube, enter the recipe, and then use asarum, fennel, windproof, notopterygium, angelica dahurica, etc. to relieve the exterior, if you think it is too spicy, you can also use pungent and warm Chuanxiong powder, Yinqiao .

Because it was nearby, I went to the pharmacy of Wang Shangshu's house in Xicheng, and the medicines I caught according to the prescription were not expensive medicinal materials, and a pair of medicines cost sixty or seventy dollars. More than 400 yuan, I think the sixth officer should be able to cure it. "
