The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 280 Drug Price
Xuan Shijing ordered the people in Xuanwu's kitchen to make some nutritious meals and bring them up, and then went back to the fifth floor.

Maybe Jinyang really didn't sleep well last night. After Xuan Shijing went down, Jinyang had already fallen asleep on the chair. Although the chair was big, Jinyang's legs were still curled up. She could only find another chair, put it in front of Jinyang, and lay her legs flat so that it would be more comfortable to lie on. Then she turned around and closed the big window facing Jinyang.

"Master Hou." Long'er came up and saw Princess Jinyang sleeping on a chair, so she lowered her voice: "Master Hou, Taoist Sun is here and said he wants to see you."

"Well, please go to the fourth floor, I'll go down now."

"Yes." After hearing Xuan Shijing's words, Long'er turned around and went downstairs.

Xuan Shijing covered Jin Yang with the blanket again, then got up and went to the fourth floor.

After a while, Sun Simiao, led by Long'er, met Xuan Shijing.

Seeing that Sun Simiao had arrived, Xuan Shijing hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Daozhang Sun is free to come to my nephew today, come, come and sit down, Long'er, serve tea." Xuan Shijing told Sun Simiao to sit down, and at the same time told Long'er to make tea.

"Pindao also knows that Shi Jing and your Jinyang Foundation have made a lot of noise in Chang'an City, so he came to visit with audacity." Sun Simiao said.

"Daozhang Sun, don't be so polite. You are my mother's adopted brother. According to your seniority, Shijing still needs to call you uncle. If you have any orders, you can just send someone to tell your nephew."

"The notice you posted said that most of the people and soldiers in Liaodong were frostbitten, but is it true?" Sun Simiao asked straight to the point.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Well, that's right, yesterday in the palace, when I was in the East Palace in the afternoon discussing matters with His Royal Highness the Prince in Liaodong, I saw the [-] mile card handed over to Chang'an by the marching officer guarding Liaodong." Urgent booklet, it is indeed written in the booklet, and my nephew has already asked the people below to buy medicinal materials for treating frostbite, and some imperial physicians from the imperial hospital in the palace are also packing their bags and preparing to go to Liaodong.”

"How about this trip to Liaodong, plus a poor Taoist?" After Sun Simiao heard that the people and soldiers in Liaodong were suffering from frostbite, his mind had already flown to Liaodong. Came directly to Xuan Wuhou to talk to Xuan Shijing about it.

"Master, do you want to go to Liaodong?"

"That's right, Shijing, not to mention winter, even in normal summer, not many doctors are willing to go to Liaodong. From a poor point of view, Shijing, you and His Royal Highness have no choice but to send the Imperial Hospital The imperial physician should go to Liaodong." Sun Simiao said.

Xuan Shijing smiled wryly: "That's right. At this moment, it's really impossible for those doctors to go to Liaodong. If the people in Liaodong are only slightly frostbitten, they only need to prepare the medicine in Chang'an and let His Royal Highness It’s just to be transported directly with the supplies, but those sergeants, who are patrolling in the ice and snow, are probably not ordinary frostbite. The military camps stationed in Liaodong are all thick tents, but no matter how thick the tents are, they can’t stop the frostbite. The erosion of the cold wind, so I guess, I am afraid that there are many people with frostbite in the army, and they are very serious."

"Shijing, you are right. In the environment of Liaodong, even a thick house can hardly prevent the severe cold in winter. Therefore, I must go this way. When His Royal Highness sets off, please Nephew Shijing should inform the poor Daoist." Sun Simiao said with a nod.

"Well, since you have decided to go, Taoist priest, then my nephew will not do much to keep you." Xuan Shijing thought for a while, and had no choice but to agree. As a doctor, Sun Simiao has a kind heart, and he originally hoped to travel He treats poor people all over the world, but after Qian Xuanshijing left for more than ten years, Sun Simiao had to stay in Chang'an. To be honest, Xuan Shijing asked Sun Simiao to stay in Chang'an because of his own selfishness. Now Sun Simiao If Xuan Shijing wants to go to Liaodong, what reason does Xuan Shijing have to stop?
"Hou Ye!" While Xuan Shijing and Sun Simiao were talking, Shi Hu pushed the door open and barged in.

Xuan Shijing frowned, his face was a little displeased, because Sun Simiao was in front of him, it was not easy to get angry, but he asked in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Why are you so panicked."

Shi Hu swallowed his saliva and said, "Master Hou, the person you sent out to buy medicinal materials has returned and said that the price of medicinal materials in Chang'an City has increased, especially the medicinal materials for treating frostbite. The price has almost tripled!"

"What?!" Hearing the news brought back by Shi Hu, Xuan Shijing was surprised and angry, that someone would take advantage of this to make a fortune for the country!
"Early this morning, our buddies started to buy medicines for frostbite at various pharmacies in Chang'an. There are basically no pharmacies left, but those merchants who sell medicines took the opportunity to increase the price of frostbite medicines. Hou Lord, what should we do?" Shi Hu asked.

Sun Simiao, who was standing by the side, heard the words and silently recited the Infinite Heavenly Venerable.

"These profiteers!" Xuan Shijing said angrily, since Shi Hu said that there was no problem with the medicine shop, it means that the medicine merchant had a problem.

This can be tricky, and we must quickly find a way to stabilize prices.

"Shihu, give me an order. Now, before the news gets out, let people go to the surrounding counties to buy it. This is the only way to do it for the time being." Xuan Shijing said, and within a short while, Xuan Shijing He couldn't do anything to those businessmen, probably tomorrow afternoon, Li Chengqian was going to set off from Chang'an, even if there were any tricks, it would be useless.

"Yes, Lord Hou." Shi Hu replied, turned and left the room.

"It's devoid of conscience to make money for the country!" Xuan Shijing punched the table.

"People in the world are greedy, and there are reasons for it." Sun Simiao sighed and said, "I still have a lot of medicinal materials in the warehouse of the Qianjin Medical Center. I will go back to sort it out in the afternoon and take it with me when I leave. In addition to buying some along the way, it must be enough for emergencies.”

"Liaodong's army alone has more than [-] people, and the amount of medicinal materials required is also huge. If you don't want to find a way to stabilize prices, there will always be times when you will be stretched." Xuan Shijing said: "Master Dao, the matter of medicinal materials will be handled by my nephew." Find a way."

"Forget it, Shijing, don't force anything. The matter of medicinal materials may be solved in Luoyang or Shandong." Sun Simiao persuaded. At this juncture, Sun Simiao was afraid that Xuan Shijing would lose his mind, so he went to find him The trouble for those businessmen, after all, no matter how powerful a businessman is, he is still a businessman, and Xuan Shijing is an official.

"Don't worry, Daoist. My nephew really doesn't have the time to deal with this dealer, but the price of the medicinal materials in Chang'an City must be stabilized. Even if it's not for the sake of Liaodong, it must be for the sake of the people of Chang'an City." Xuan Shijing said.
