The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 156 Water Problem

Then these two kinds of medicine together would require eighteen taels. Right now Liangzhou City needs to prepare at least ten thousand doses, which would be eighteen hundred thousand taels?

hiss······

Such a large amount of silver made the Fourth Prince frown.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly and said, "This is all the cost of my medicine. It's already very cheap. You can go and ask around. Those counterfeit drugs are already selling for thousands of dollars each."

How many?

daughter?

Who would spend so much money to buy pills?

Isn't this just pure brain disease?

At this moment, Shangnian stepped forward and bowed, then took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to her: "I'll buy another one."

"Tsk." Shang Ruoyi sneered, "If the Prime Minister wants to buy it, I have to think about how much silver this medicine costs."

Shangnian was stunned

"What do you mean?" He frowned and said in a rather unfriendly tone, "Master Lingjun, do you want to raise the price?"

"Oh, you're asking for a higher price?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "If the emperor wants to buy it, I naturally don't dare to ask for a higher price. Does Lord Shang think he is the same as the emperor?"

After hearing her say this, how could Shangnian dare to talk back?

"I am also a human being. Could it be that I conjured up all that gold and silver?" Shang Ruoyi glanced at him and said, "Prime Minister Shang, just give me a hundred taels for two batches of medicinal materials." She turned to Divine Doctor Jiang and said, "Divine Doctor Jiang, one hundred taels is also normal."

"I didn't expect Master Lingjun's medicine to be so expensive."

"No, no." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I'm not like this to everyone."

Hearing her say this, the two of them looked even uglier.

Doctor Jiang took out a silver note from his bosom and handed it to her, then put the two porcelain bottles into his bosom. He wanted to see what the medicine in the porcelain bottles was.

Shang Ruoyi naturally knew what Doctor Jiang wanted to do, but she was not in a hurry at all.

Not to mention the composition of the spiritual spring water, which cannot be measured even with the most advanced instruments. Even the medicinal materials used to make the pills, some of which are made from herbs cultivated in space and cannot be seen outside at all.

As expected, no matter what method Doctor Jiang used, he just couldn't find any clue.

He couldn't help but wonder, who on earth is this Ling Jun?

Even he couldn't detect the ingredients of these two medicines.

The one who was even more annoyed than him was Shangnian.

When he came out this time, he didn't even have a hundred taels on him.

Ever since the storehouse of the Shang Mansion was robbed, the money in the mansion had been difficult to circulate. In addition, Shang Yufu asked them to set up tents and provide porridge to the refugees, so the money in the mansion was almost gone.

On this trip, he only carried seventy taels of silver on him.

Now Shang Ruoyi asked for a hundred taels, how could he afford it?

He couldn't help but be very angry that he had lost such a big figure in front of the Fourth Prince.

Seeing his embarrassed look, He Lingqi took out a hundred taels and handed them to Shang Ruoyi.

Shangnian took the two porcelain bottles in his hands, his old face flushed: "Thank you, Fourth Prince."

"It's a small matter." The fourth prince smiled and said, "This further proves that Shang Xiang is an honest official!"

After hearing him say this, Shangnian's expression relaxed.

Shang Ruoyi curled her lips. An honest official?

If he were an honest official, there would be no corrupt officials in this world.

Shangnian was originally born in a poor family. He was lucky enough to pass the imperial examination and marry Shang Ruoyi's mother. As a wealthy merchant family, his life became better little by little. However, he could not change his petty-bourgeois nature. Even after he became a prime minister, he was still obsessed with gold, silver and jewelry.

She found a lot of good things in Shang's warehouse.

Although not as rich as a country, it is also rich enough.

At this moment, she was completely in her space. If Shang Nian knew about this, he would probably faint from anger.

The Fourth Prince looked at Shang Ruoyi and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Master Lingjun, can you give us less money?" If his father knew that he used 180,000 taels to buy medicine for disaster relief, he would probably be so angry that he would collapse.

Shang Ruoyi shook her head and said firmly: "Fourth Prince, this amount of silver is already the limit. If I didn't pity the people of Liangzhou City, I would have asked for a hundred taels of silver each. I believe that for the safety of the country, the court will have to agree in the end."

The Fourth Prince knew that what she said was the truth, but the national treasury was empty now. Where could he raise 180,000 taels?

We can't let my father open his private vault!

Based on his understanding of his father, this private vault would never be opened.

It is likely that this money will need to be extorted from various ministers.

"Master Lingjun, I have bought this medicine, but I will have to wait until we return to the capital to settle the payment."

After hearing what he said, Shang Ruoyi nodded indifferently. Since the Fourth Prince was on the same side as He Jingheng, her money would not be able to escape.

"Let me go back and prepare some herbs. Someone will deliver them to you in two days."

"it is good."

When Doctor Jiang heard her say this, he hurried forward and said, "I can help."

"No need." Shang Ruoyi glanced at him and said, "This is my master's secret recipe. Could it be that Divine Doctor Jiang wants to steal my skills?"

Even though his thoughts were exposed, Divine Doctor Jiang did not feel embarrassed at all. He smiled and said, "Since Young Master Lingjun does not need it, I will not bother you."

Shang Ruoyi came to another isolation area.

At this time, several soldiers were moving several large barrels down from the car.

Just then, a strange smell entered her nostrils.

"Wait." Shang Ruoyi walked to the side of the carriage and asked in a deep voice, "What's in here?"

Just as the soldiers were about to chase her away, they saw the Fourth Prince walking towards them.

He knelt down quickly and saluted.

Shang Ruoyi walked forward and saw that the buckets were filled with porridge. Rather than calling it porridge, it would be more appropriate to describe it as rice soup.

There was only a small amount of rice at the bottom of each bucket.

Right now, food is in short supply and there is a severe drought, so it is very difficult for them to get some rice soup.

Shang Ruoyi frowned, the strange smell was coming from here.

She scooped out a little with a spoon and put it under her nose.

Why is there a smell of corruption in here?

She was startled and asked in a low voice: "Where did you get this water?"

Seeing her sharp tone, He Lingqi knew there was something wrong with the porridge: "I'm asking you a question, where did you get this water from?"

"Your Highness, this water is taken from the river."

"Take me to see it." Shang Ruoyi said in a deep voice.

If she guessed correctly, the reason why so many people got the plague was directly related to this water.

Soon, they came to a river.

"It's right here." A soldier pointed to a very shallow river. "This used to be where the people of Liangzhou City got their water. Years of drought have almost dried up the water here."

At this moment, a very faint smell of corruption came over.

Shang Ruoyi was shocked. It turned out to be the problem with the water.
