The little palace maid on the ground lowered her head and replied, "Yes, Madam Roufei, the eunuchs in Yixia Palace are still busy putting them into the warehouse."

Concubine Rou rolled her eyes, remembering what Imperial Physician Jiang had said: "Oh, right now is a time of severe epidemic, she has received so many rewards, I don't know if she can keep them."

She said to the head maid beside her, "Go and call Doctor Jiang over to me and tell him that I have some questions about the fetus and need to ask him carefully!"

"Yes."

The head palace maid replied and went to find Doctor Jiang.

Three days later.

Qi Yun was dressed in a purple official robe, which made him very conspicuous among the medical officers in the Imperial Hospital who were dressed in plain robes. In addition, he had an elegant appearance, and many young palace maids secretly looked at him on the way to the Imperial Hospital.

In the Imperial Medical Bureau, all the important officials of the court who used to be served respectfully by the imperial doctors were now standing in front of Qi Yun's desk and answering his questions.

The official in charge of purchasing the herbs this time said nervously, "Sir Qi, the people from the pharmacy said that the amount of herbs we need is too large and it will take half a month to collect them all."

Qi Yun frowned: "Then let the pharmacy dispatch them from the pharmacies and drug stores in the surrounding areas. Don't they know how to do even this?"

Ministry of Revenue official: "Sir Qi, this is the time required to fill the remaining gap after taking into account the amount of medicinal materials dispatched from the surrounding areas of the capital."

One after another, people started to challenge and threw the problem to Qi Yun.

Taicang, who was in charge of the treasury expenditure, also said, "Sir, the herbs needed in the prescription are all rising in price, especially the herb Sophora flavescens, which is out of stock."

"This herb is in short supply in the capital and surrounding pharmacies right now, and the price has skyrocketed fivefold. I'm afraid the silver your majesty has allocated is not enough. Your people are asking the treasury for money, and we are under a lot of pressure. The money your majesty has allocated for epidemic treatment is almost exceeded."

Qi Yun: "This Sophora flavescens is not a rare medicine, and the production is very large. Why is the price so high?"

The medical officer of the pharmacy said, "Sir, Sophora flavescens is a herbal medicine produced in large quantities in Lingnan. It is not easy to transport it here. The pharmacy in the Central Plains is out of stock now. It will take more than 20 days to transfer it from Lingnan."

Qi Yun paused when he heard this, and his frown relaxed.

Qi Yun's apprentice Ming He could no longer sit still: "More than 20 days, patients infected with the epidemic can only hold out for 10 days at most, and then they can't stand it anymore."

"Master, what should I do?"

He went to see Qi Yun and saw that the other party's expression was full of awe. Lord Qi was calm at this moment and even revealed a sense of composure.

Taicang suggested: "I think it would be better to collect donations from the palaces and dignitaries in the capital, so that everyone can donate their kindness and let the people see the responsibility of the royal family and the court?"

Qi Yun shook his head and said to the officials, "It's okay. Just do what you can first. We will proceed as planned. We can't delay because of these things, right?"

Taicang, who thought Qi Yun would adopt this suggestion, was stunned. The other officials who made trouble were also stunned. After Qi Yun "drove away the guests", everyone retreated, confused. Is this young man so strong-willed?

Moreover, they said that there is a shortage of medicinal materials and money, but we still want to open more spraying points as planned?

After everyone left, Ming He asked Qi Yun: "Does the master have a solution?"

Qi Yun did not give a direct answer, but asked instead: "Have the prices of the herbs used in our prescriptions increased in the capital?"

Minghe answered obediently: "Yes, the storage quantity in the medicine warehouse is not enough for us to open six application points."

Qi Yun asked again: "Have other medicinal herbs increased in price?"

Ming He shook his head: "The other herbs are still the same price, and they are not needed to treat epidemics."

Qi Yun heard this and warned, "We must not panic. Someone is probably behind this."

Ming He was not a fool, and he understood immediately: "The person behind this is too vicious, playing with the safety of the people and driving up the price of medicine for his own profit."

Qi Yun took a sip of tea and said, "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. It's okay. They won't succeed."

At noon, Jiang Lili was lying in the carriage, listening boredly to Yang Yunzhao's lecture to He Jing. They were almost arriving in Lianzhou, and there were only a few days left for such leisurely days, so they had to cherish them.

I don’t know what it would be like to go to Haizhou from the pier.

Jiang Lili looked at Yang Yunzhao, who was speaking with great enthusiasm. He looked just like a teacher giving a class open to the whole school, and his passion was a little too much.

Jiang Lili seemed to understand Yang Yunzhao's sophisticated and selfish character, and why he would let He Jing stay in class for free.

First, his vanity was satisfied and he felt great. Second, he wanted to leave a good impression of being a mentor to He Jing.

Just seeing He Jing's painful expression due to intellectual bullying, he just wanted to escape from Yang Yunzhao's clutches.

At this time, squad leader Qi Yun suddenly sent a message: [Li Li, I need a large amount of medicinal materials for disaster relief. Can you find a way to collect them from the pharmacy in Lingnan and send them to me in a red envelope? ]

Qi Yun briefly described the current situation in the capital. After receiving Qi Yun's message, Jiang Lili sat up straight on the soft couch in the carriage.

Wow, the squad leader is now wearing a purple robe.

More importantly, there is a shortage of Chinese medicinal materials in Beijing!

Jiang Lili slapped her thigh and said, "I'm really sleepy. Someone handed me a pillow."

[@江麗麗: Yes, my herbs are not selling well! You really asked the right person. But since so many herbs appeared out of nowhere, we have to find a suitable reason to cover it up.]

[@戚允: Don’t worry, I have a solution. There are so many people in our class in Beijing, and we have family members and relatives. There is strength in numbers, and there is always a way to solve it. ]

Qi Yun sent a group message:

【@All members, come to the class meeting! 】

There were a lot of “received” under this message.

......

The class meeting lasted about an hour, and after it, Jiang Lili was full of energy as if she had been injected with chicken blood!

She found He Jing who was doing homework and listed a bunch of herbs: "Take out all the herbs on this list, as many as you have. I want them all!"

He Jing was confused and said, "Miss Jiang, you are kidding me, right?"

"I have a friend, the eldest son of the prefect of Linzhou, who recently developed something new, medicinal food. The test subjects require a large amount of medicinal materials, which are consumed very quickly."

Jiang Lili lowered her voice and said, "Besides, he will introduce you to several distinguished buyers. You will know when you meet Mr. Li."

He Jing had indeed heard about the legend of the sudden success of Mr. Li from Linzhou recently. When he learned that Jiang Lili knew Mr. Li, he admired Jiang Lili even more.

Jiang Lili drew a map based on the route the exiles would take, and asked He Jing to distribute the unsold medicinal materials in the He family pharmacy to the points on the map.

She explained the map to He Jing: "With Yao Township as the center, all medicinal materials within a radius of ten miles will be delivered to Yao Township."

"As for Lian County, all the medicinal materials within a ten-mile radius were sent to Lian County."

......

The circles drawn with the locations on the map covered Lingnan, and He Jing was amazed.

Jiang Lili added: "Just coordinate the inventory with the He family."

He Jing was even more surprised: "Not only the medicines in my pharmacy, but also the unsold medicinal materials of the entire He family?"

Could it be that this time, he will be the one to stand up and save the He family?
