After hearing Eunuch Zhou's interpretation, Emperor Qingning was overjoyed the more he thought about it. "Great! I was so scared. I was so worried just now in the court. I didn't expect that you already have a way to break the impasse!"

At this time, Qi Yun also flattered the emperor as Zhou Jushan had taught him: "It was all because of your Majesty's wise decision that the imperial edict was posted in a timely manner."

"This time Princess Jin has done a great job!"

Emperor Qingning thought of Hou Xiaoxiao and her mother's family, who were all against Marquis Zhaoping, and he liked Princess Jin and the Marquis' family more and more. "I also heard that the Prince of Jin took the initiative to bring people to maintain order at the drug dispensing site. It was also the idea of ​​Princess Jin!"

Emperor Qingning ordered Zhou Jushan: "Zhou Jushan, go and talk to the Queen Mother and mention the matter of conferring the title of Princess Hou of Jin."

Hou Xiaoxiao had already made a contribution by poisoning Xin Che, and the Miao tribe suffered heavy losses, so Emperor Qingning had no choice but to reward and appease them.

But this was something that was discussed in private, and no reward could be given openly. Now that Princess Jin has made another great contribution, she can be rewarded this time.

Moreover, Princess Jin had an imperial edict in hand, so it was convenient for her to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother. I heard that Princess Jin had become a knife in their hands.

It is not enough to successfully bring one classmate to success, other students in Beijing must also benefit from it.

Qi Yun continued, "In addition, medicinal materials are in short supply and drug prices are soaring. The Grand Tutor and his son Xue Wei set an example. In the past few days, the Xue family father and son have visited many drug dealers' mansions overnight and asked them to release medicine."

"Many drug dealers were moved by the sincerity of the Grand Tutor and Xue Wei, and agreed to sell the herbs to me at a price that our pharmacy budget could accept."

In fact, these "impressed" drug dealers all have close ties with the Qi, Hou, and Xue families. These people in the Beijing circle have already made arrangements to place the medicinal materials delivered by Jiang Lili in the warehouses of various drug stores.

In addition, the grassland tribe where Yan Chaoyue is located has also opened many pharmacies with special medicinal materials from the grassland and the northern border, and their spies stationed in the capital can also help provide cover.

The classmates transferred the money from one hand to the other, which was equivalent to using the silver allocated from the dog emperor's treasury to sell the He family's unsaleable medicinal materials.

The prices of many medicinal materials in Beijing are higher than those in Lingnan. This deal is a sure win, and it can also supply medicines to the people in a timely manner, breaking the monopoly.

Let those unscrupulous drug dealers who hoard medicinal materials and raise prices arbitrarily have the goods left in their hands and suffer the consequences.

Emperor Qingning's subordinates also reported to him yesterday about Xue's father and son's visit to the drug dealer, but Emperor Qingning did not take it seriously.

After all, these unscrupulous drug dealers are all thinking about making money, so how can they have any conscience? Why would they listen to the long-winded speeches of the Grand Tutor?

However, when Emperor Qingning heard Qi Yun say today that the Xue family father and son had actually succeeded, he was overjoyed!

"The Xue family father and son really opened my eyes."

"Your Majesty, only a small number of unscrupulous drug dealers are driving up drug prices. Most drug dealers are afraid of being the first to be shot and of being punished. If they sell drugs at normal prices, it will harm the interests of these unscrupulous dealers."

Qi Yun seized the opportunity to help the academic committee to improve their presence in front of Emperor Qingning: "Grand Tutor's son Xue Wei seized on this point and succeeded in persuading them, saying that Grand Tutor would uphold justice for them in front of His Majesty."

"Your Majesty is so gracious and wise in his decision-making. He will not disappoint the conscientious drug dealers. This is a reassurance for everyone."

"Of course, I care about the people, and I have long been fed up with these scoundrels who take advantage of the situation to rob people."

Emperor Qingning sat on the dragon throne, his soul almost floating away. Good things were happening one after another, and he didn't have to worry about anything.

"I heard that Xue Wei's song "Hard to Travel" made a big splash at the Princess' birthday banquet."

"It seems that I have to pay close attention to him. This person is not only talented, but also has a character that is impressive. Let's see how he performs in the imperial examination next year!"

Zhou Jushan sent a message to Xue Wei, the study committee member: [Student committee member, your name has left a deep impression on the dog emperor. Next, it depends on your performance in the imperial examination. The monitor and I can only help you here! ]

The study committee member posted a photo of himself reviewing in the group.

【@薛蔚: I’m learning! I’m doing a handstand and making a heart shape with my hands! 】

[@江麗麗: Buddy, are the books "Folk Tales of Strange Things" and "Flower Fan" that you are holding under your fan also within the scope of the imperial examination? ]

Xue Wei's pretending to struggle was exposed, and she responded eloquently:

[@薛蔚: In addition to the knowledge covered in the exam, you also need to learn about some folk gossip. I am using these two books to get a glimpse into the psychology of the people of the Great Sheng Dynasty.]

【@周居善: Just slack off, why say so much. 】

Although Zhou Jushan complained about the cynicism of the student committee members, he was not worried at all that they would fail the exam.

After all, the reason why Xue Wei could become a student council member is that he is a god-level figure.

If the class monitor is a gifted and hardworking person who studies hard, then the student council member is a pure talent freak.

There is always such a person in the class, who plays when he should, studies when he should, and listens to the lectures, and can get good grades without doing more exercises or tutoring outside of class. This kind of gifted person makes people hate him.

The student committee member finally took the college entrance examination and was admitted to the top political science and law school in the country. After graduation, he passed the selection examination and entered the system. He followed a legitimate path.

Therefore, it is a perfect match for the profession for the academic committee members to take the imperial examination and enter the official career.

Qi Yun returned to the Imperial Hospital safely and continued to work on his tasks. Lang Yuanpan and other court officials waited for a long time but received no news that Qi Yun was severely criticized by the Emperor.

Until they heard the news that Qi Yunzeng had opened a pesticide application point, all the people in their group were dumbfounded.

Doctor Jiang was confused: "Aren't the herbs in short supply? How can Qi Yun open more drug distribution centers? Isn't he afraid of running out of herbs and causing chaos?"

The news brought back by the housekeeper of the Lang Mansion made them even more dumbfounded: "Sir, the medicine added to the prescription today is not on the prescription of Concubine Ying."

Lang Daowen took the prescriptions handed over by his men in disbelief. Almost none of them were on the monopoly list he had agreed upon with the drug dealers.

The other party doesn't follow his way at all, how can he play this game? !

"I heard that Lord Qi has developed a second set of prescriptions for epidemic diseases based on the Miaojiang prescriptions provided by Princess Jin, which are more suitable for patients who have just been infected with the epidemic."

A thin layer of sweat oozed out of the housekeeper's head: "Princess Jin also contacted the Miao people in the capital and surrounding areas to collect Miao herbs."

"It is the Princess of Jin's credit that the mountain bean root, which is abundant in Lingnan and in urgent need in Beijing, can be replenished in time."

As the housekeeper spoke, he secretly sighed in his heart. This was the first time he saw their master fail. He thought he was picking an easy target, but he didn't expect that he would hit a wall. Not only was he lucky and capable, but he also had connections.

Yesterday, a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan wanted to recruit him as a housekeeper, but he refused. Is it time for him to consider running away now?
