Shennong Pharmaceutical Field

Chapter 139 The County Lord's Drug Restriction Order

After waking up early this day, Kelai Rujia's kitchen was surrounded by several unworthy young men as usual.They were all used to Xiangzi's cooking skills, and they hoped that when Xiangzi came to borrow the kitchen to cook breakfast for his employer, they could have another delicious meal for themselves.

However, this time the boys made a miscalculation. They waited until the sun was high and did not see the figure of Ambassador Xiangzi, but they waited for their own master to scold them, "These lazy and evasive little cunning people are hiding!" What are you doing here? Hurry up and go to work!"

While the boys were still waiting outside the kitchen, Yao Tiantian and Hu Niu dressed up as a little boy collecting medicine in the mountains went all the way to the Qi family's old medicine shop.

Huniu tugged at her navy blue robe, pouted and muttered, "This dress is really ugly, do we have to wear it like this?"

"If you don't want to cause a stir when you appear in front of the ladies in the city for the first time, then I don't mind if you change your clothes." Yao Tiantian touched the thick cover-up makeup on her face, tight Tightening the small burden on his body, he deliberately said lightly.

"Hey, for that day, I endured it." Hu Niu whispered resentfully, with a trace of doubt flashing on her face again, "But why do we dress up as little boys picking medicine? Why do we have to wear this kind of clothes without distinction?" Ugly clothes for men and women?"

"We're going to the pharmacy. We don't want to appear as ladies from rich and noble families, so it's most suitable to dress up as a boy collecting medicine." Yao Tiantian said patiently, "It's possible that Sister Huniu wants to dress up as a poor patient. Not only are the clothes tattered, but the face is also sallow?"

"No, no, no." Hu Niu imagined the appearance of a poor woman going to seek medical treatment all in filth, and couldn't help shivering, waving her hands again and again, and said contentedly, "It's fine, it's fine."

Yao Tiantian looked at Huniu who was still struggling, and smiled softly, "Since you are satisfied with the clothes, let's go quickly, so as not to delay the good time."

"A good time?" Hu Niu let go of the tangled look on her face, and turned to be puzzled, "We are pretending to deliver medicines and sneaked into Qi's pharmacy, what time should we choose?"

Yao Tiantian raised her eyebrows, but let it go, "You will know when the time comes."

Huniu became even more curious, but seeing Yao Tiantian smiling without saying a word, she had no choice but to keep her doubts in her heart, and quickened her pace along with Yao Tiantian's pace.

Before, Xiangzi had told Yao Tiantian the address of the Qijia drugstore in detail, and Yao Tiantian and Huniu identified it all the way, walking towards the direction of the Qijia drugstore.

"Look, it's Mao'er Hutong." Huniu also learned a few words with Yao Tiantian these days, and she looked at the few familiar words engraved on the stone wall in front of her, and shouted out loudly.

"That's right, when we arrive at Mao'er Hutong, it's not far from Qijia Pharmacy."

Yao Tiantian also became happy. In order not to attract others' attention, they changed into the attire of a boy picking medicine, so it was not convenient for them to ride in a carriage.Before, she was worried that the journey would be too far, and they would have to walk for a long time, but she never expected that they would arrive soon after only half an hour.

Yao Tiantian looked up at the already bright sky and the bright red sun in the east, and nodded in satisfaction with her itinerary, the timing is just right.

When Yao Tiantian stopped, Hu Niu also stopped.

"Huh..." Just as Yao Tiantian and Hu Niu stopped, they heard a cold snort of disdain.Immediately afterwards, the voice muttered again in a moderate tone, "There are two more impatient and reckless."

Yao Tiantian turned her face and took a closer look, and found that it was an uncle with a gloomy complexion, looking up and down at their attire with disdain on his face.

"You!" Huniu couldn't listen to other people's gossip, and turned her head to shout at the uncle who was talking, but Yao Tiantian raised her hand to stop her.

Yao Tiantian changed positions with Huniu calmly, and asked softly, "Excuse me, uncle, let's take a serious test of strength and eyesight to eat, why are we so boring?"

Hearing Yao Tiantian's polite words, the passer-by uncle raised his head and looked at her carefully, shook his head, and said regretfully, "Seeing that you are also a decent girl, how can your parents let you do this kind of thing at ease?" Something adventurous?"

"Adventure?" The words of the passer-by aroused Yao Tiantian's curiosity. She looked herself up and down again, and there was nothing wrong with it. Is it an adventure?"

"Didn't your adults tell you?" The passer-by uncle shook his head regretfully again.

"Me, my parents are gone." Yao Tiantian thought of Xiao Tianniu's parents who were burnt to death in her home in the middle of the night, and couldn't help but her eyes became hot, and tears welled up in her eye sockets.

"Don't cry, hey, little girl, don't cry." The passer-by uncle sighed softly, and quickly said, "Poor child, parents are gone, no one cares about it. Come on, uncle tells you, you should cancel quickly." How many people have been coaxed away these days, and some were even arrested by officials. You are so young, it is so good to collect medicines for a living, why do you always want to take shortcuts?"

"Take a shortcut?" Yao Tiantian became more and more confused the more she listened. They pretended to be boys picking medicines, and it was the most normal thing to go to the pharmacy to sell medicines. How come this kind uncle said that they took a risky shortcut? Woolen cloth?The more she thought about it, the more she didn't understand, and her little brows were wrinkled together.

Seeing that Yao Tiantian still didn't understand, the passer-by uncle sighed again, and said softly, "Hey, not only you guys who collect herbs can't figure it out, even uncle I can't figure it out. That's fine, what's the county magistrate doing?" Such a prohibition has been handed down from the elders. The people who collect the medicine sell it to the pharmacy, and the doctor in the pharmacy prescribes the medicine to the patient. There has never been any mistake. How come now, the government is It is said that someone sells counterfeit medicines, and they are not allowed to sell medicines privately, and pharmacies are not allowed to purchase medicinal materials by themselves, so they must go to the places designated by the government to buy them?"

After a short pause, the passer-by continued to shake his head, and said with a look of incomprehension, "This time, it turned out to be a good thing. Those who collect herbs sell them to the government. No matter what kind of medicine, they are all weighed by the catty. They can't give you much money. They collected these cheap medicinal materials and immediately sold them to pharmacies at a high price. The government has done this, and the herbal collectors stopped picking them. Some small pharmacies that have no connections have no medicine to use, and those big pharmacies use the excuse that the cost of purchasing medicinal materials is high. , the price must be increased. Hey, we ordinary people will look down on diseases even more in the future, we..."

Speaking of this, the passer-by uncle suddenly realized something, and quickly stopped talking. He raised his eyes and looked around. Seeing that the people on the road didn't notice them, he was relieved, but he didn't dare to continue the topic just now. Instead, he kindly persuaded, "In the future, you will send all the medicines you collect to the county government for inspection, and sell them to the place they designate. The Qijia pharmacy is not qualified for this, and they dare not take your medicinal materials privately."

This is the monopoly of Hongguoguo, Nima. There are many such things in Yao Tiantian's other time and space. Some industries are monopolized by large multinational companies, and some are simply monopolized by the government. In Western countries, there are anti-monopoly laws, and lawsuits about monopoly will always pop up every once in a while, entangled and bickering with each other.

Yao Tiantian has never been involved in anti-monopoly lawsuits, because people of her class have no chance to express their views, but they are the group of people who have the deepest understanding of monopoly.Monopoly means huge profits, no pressure from competition, and pricing as you want.In this sense, monopoly is a kind of privilege, above all living beings.

Yao Tiantian angrily recalled all the things that had been monopolized in her previous life, but she did not expect to encounter the monopoly again in an ancient time in a different time and space.Moreover, according to the tone of this kind-hearted uncle on the road, this incident happened not long ago, and he did not monopolize it before.Could it be that she has crossed over, even monopoly?Is this a side effect of her time travel?
Thinking of this, Yao Tiantian was taken aback by Ziji's thoughts, could someone do it?Yao Tiantian's heart turned, and she hurriedly said to the kind-hearted passer-by, "Thank you uncle for letting me know. We haven't been in the city for more than half a year. When did this happen?"

"It's no wonder you don't know. It's been less than three months since the county lord issued this order. Many herb collectors didn't know about it, and they were arrested in a daze. You two, hurry up and send the medicine to Ren Remember the big pharmacy, it is the place designated by the county lord, if you take a wrong step, the officer will arrest you!" The kind passer-by uncle pointed to the left front, earnestly persuaded.

Less than three months?Yao Tiantian secretly calculated that she came to this beautiful village in another time and space in less than three months.This, this, is this too coincidental?

This incident is the same as the mysterious old beggar who suddenly appeared, and Yao Tiantian had a premonition in her heart. Ever since she came from time travel and became one with Xiao Tianniu, the whole Ning County seemed to have undergone some kind of changes, surrounding Yangjiatun, surrounded by Yao Tiantian.

All of this shocked Yao Tiantian. As early as when her uncle was sick, she had a faint feeling that she had traveled through time and space and thousands of years. It was not just a coincidence. some kind of connection.

At that time, she thought that the connection was Little Sweet Girl, because she had some kind of special aura, which caused her encounter with the fire to appear in Yao Tiantian's dream in another time and space thousands of years later.That's why Yao Tiantian came here in a muddleheaded way to continue living instead of Little Tianniu.

However, what happened later subverted Yao Tiantian's imagination again and again. The word "Huang" appeared on the big bathtub, Uncle Guo's restaurant in Qingshui Town was reduced to ashes, and the old beggar who appeared mysteriously, and The drug restriction order of the county lord that she just knew.

All these incidents made her feel more and more that she came here not only to live on behalf of Little Sweet Girl, but also her Yao Tiantian's mission here, a mission that was destined in the dark and she could not shirk .
