Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 355: Stocking up on medicine in advance

Jing ** looked at Zuo Yan and said: "Drop the personnel from the Shadow Blade Division to keep a close eye on the First and Third Princes."

"Every move of the two of you, no matter how big or small, must be reported to me."

"do you understand?"

Zuo Yan's heart trembled.

He immediately lowered his head and replied respectfully, "I understand."

After Jing** finished instructing Zuo Yan, he asked them to leave.

He picked up the hot tea beside him, his eyes gloomy.

If the eldest and the third brother dare to take advantage of the opportunity to do something to Shuozhou and the seventh brother and his wife, don't blame him for not showing fatherly love.

It's time to fold their wings and give them a warning.

Lest they have any thoughts that they shouldn’t have.

If he still insists on his own way, he will have to take ruthless action!

Otherwise, hidden dangers will remain and it will be the seventh person who will have a hard time in the future.

Prince Yi's Palace.

After Yun Fuling returned home, she dismissed her personal maid and stayed in the room alone.

After everyone had left, she entered the medicine garden space and began to count her inventory.

The amount of medicinal materials that the Ministry of Revenue can raise is definitely limited.

In addition to tens of thousands of civilians, there were also 100,000 border troops waiting for treatment in Shuozhou.

If we rely solely on the Ministry of Revenue, there will definitely not be enough medicinal materials.

Moreover, the medicinal effects of ordinary medicinal herbs are no match for those grown in the space medicine garden.

After Yun Fuling counted the medicinal herbs in the space warehouse, she collected the mature medicinal herbs in the medicine field and sowed a few handfuls of medicinal seeds.

These are all medicinal materials that can be used for the Shuozhou epidemic.

The medicinal herbs grown in the space medicine fields not only have good efficacy, but their maturity period is also several times shorter than in reality.

Yun Fuling grows some common but indispensable medicinal herbs. During the time she arrives in Shuozhou, she can harvest at least two crops.

Yun Fuling had just finished planting the herbs when she heard Yaoguang say outside the door, "Princess, the managers from all departments have arrived and are waiting in the front hall."

Yun Fuling immediately left the space, opened the door and said, "Go to the front hall."

After saying that, he walked towards the front hall.

In the front hall, Ling You, Boss Wu, Zhang Sanmu, Xu Dong and others have arrived.

Seeing Yun Fuling coming over, several people saluted in unison.

Yun Fuling walked to the first seat and sat down, waving at the few people.

"Without further ado, a smallpox outbreak has occurred in Shuozhou."

"Your Majesty has appointed me as an imperial envoy to go to Shuozhou to oversee the treatment of the epidemic."

"We will set off early the day after tomorrow!"

As soon as Yun Fuling said a few words, everyone in the hall was stunned by the news for a long time before they reacted.

When they thought of the word "smallpox", everyone felt a chill down their spine.

"Miss..." Ling You subconsciously opened his mouth to stop Yun Fuling from going to Shuozhou.

Smallpox is the most severe of all plagues.

If I get infected...

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that Yun Fuling was appointed as the Imperial Envoy by His Majesty.

Even if Yun Fuling doesn't want to go, she has to go.

This wasn't something that could be solved by just a few words of advice.

Ling You opened his mouth, the second half of his words stuck in his throat, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

How can a minister refuse the emperor's order?

At this time, Boss Wu stepped forward and said, "Whatever the princess wants us to do, just tell us!"

Yun Fuling glanced at Boss Wu and nodded secretly in her heart.

Now Boss Wu has gained a lot of experience and is much calmer than before.

Ling You also reacted at this time, and quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, saying: "If there is anything you need us to do, Miss, please feel free to tell me."

"I asked you to come here because I really have something for you to do." Yun Fuling said slowly.

She looked at Ling You, "Uncle Ling, once the news of smallpox spreads, the people will surely panic. We must take the opportunity to stock up on some medicinal herbs and pills so that we can feel at ease."

"Then the price of traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing will definitely skyrocket."

"You should hurry up and buy some medicinal herbs before the news spreads. The more the better."

"If the money is not enough, take it from the palace's account. I will talk to the accountant later."

Ling You's heart moved, and he immediately understood Yun Fuling's intention, and immediately responded yes.

Zhang Sanmu smiled and said, "Princess, are we going to make a fortune this time?"

If you stock up on medicinal materials in advance and sell them when the prices in Beijing skyrocket, you will definitely make a lot of money.

Yun Fuling rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Can you use your brain?"

"I am now the Princess of Prince Yi, and I am tied to Prince Yi. We prosper together and suffer together. I don't know how many people are watching me in secret!"

"Is it possible to make money from a national disaster?"

"Besides, I don't bother to do such a thing. If the drug prices skyrocket, won't the people suffer in the end?"

Zhang Sanmu scratched his head, "Then why do you still want me to stock up on medicinal materials?"

Boss Wu couldn't help but slap this fool on the head.

"We have medicinal materials in our hands. No matter how the market changes, we can attack or defend."

"The princess won't make money from the country's misfortune, and won't plunder the common people, but she didn't say she won't pick the pockets of the rich!"

"Once the news of smallpox spreads, if you are one of those rich people, would you want to buy some herbs and pills that can prevent smallpox to save your life?"

Zhang Sanmu nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Of course I have to buy it!"

Ordinary people value their lives, let alone the rich.

By then, even if the price of medicinal materials rises to sky-high levels, I will still buy them.

Ling You looked at Boss Wu with appreciation, "Well said."

"As long as we have enough medicinal materials, we will have the final say in this market."

"Even if there are unscrupulous herbal medicine dealers who want to take advantage of the national crisis to make money, we can regulate the prices of herbal medicines to prevent them from doing whatever they want and causing chaos in the herbal medicine market."

Yun Fuling nodded in agreement.

It is indeed comforting to have capable people under your command.

Yun Fuling told Ling You: "Buy as many herbs as you can now, and act quickly."

"When the news of smallpox spreads, the price of medicine for the poor people will remain the same as usual and shall not be raised."

"But to get the medicine you must go to Jishitang in person and have a prescription from a doctor at Jishitang."

"If dignitaries or wealthy people from aristocratic families come to buy medicine, I will raise the price sharply. As for how much to raise, it is up to you, Uncle Ling, to decide when the time comes."

"These people are different from ordinary people. We don't have to feel bad about killing them. They have money anyway, so we can take this opportunity to make them bleed."

Ling You nodded in agreement.

In this way, they could make a fortune from the smallpox crisis without damaging their reputation.

Moreover, if there are unscrupulous drug dealers who raise the drug prices too much, Jishidiang can step in and lower the price.

As for those who take the opportunity to increase the price slightly, Jishidiang will not care.

After all, it's the right time, and others should always seize the opportunity to have a taste of the broth.

As long as it's not too excessive.

This can also demonstrate that Jishidiang is still the unshakable leader in the medical field.

"Uncle Ling, go do it."

"We need to act quickly. Once the news spreads, the price of medicinal materials will go up and it will not be cost-effective for us to buy them."
