Chapter 96: Traveling to Lianzhou
As time went by, the situation in Beijing gradually stabilized.
In order to supply medicinal materials to pharmacies in Beijing, Jiang Lili would ship large quantities of them to every warehouse where she was exiled, so the supply was very stable.
The drug dealers who had originally thought of monopolizing the market panicked when they saw that the drug stores suddenly had resources and no longer had a shortage of medicine.
Many people in this drug dealers association follow Lang Daowen, the left court judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau. They do whatever Lang says, and it has always been profitable in the past. They didn't expect to suffer a big setback this time.
These drug dealers who were driving up drug prices came to Lang Daowen, who was extremely anxious. He could only comfort them: "There will always be a shortage of drugs. Don't panic if you wait and see."
As a result, the seriously ill patients in the capital were almost all cured, and patients with mild symptoms also received medicines one after another, and the complaints of the people gradually subsided.
The Beijing team also opened a porridge relief point in the name of the family. Jiang Lili and Xiaopang purchased and shipped the food from Hyundai and distributed it to Hou Xiaoxiao's Beijing team.
A bracelet taken out by a prominent family in Beijing would be worth several thousand yuan in modern times, which could be exchanged for at least half a ton of rice, enough to feed two thousand people.
The reputation and influence of the students in the Beijing team are growing day by day, and other families are crying with envy.
Some people speculated that the Hou family was increasingly being ignored as the General of the Cavalry, so this time they wanted to make their presence felt in front of His Majesty, while Grand Tutor Xue was paving the way for his son Xue Wei to enter the officialdom.
But no matter what, they all guessed that the Hou and Xue families must have spent a lot of money, but in fact the Beijing team only suffered some minor injuries to their wallets.
The efforts made by Dr. Qi, Princess Jin, Princess Ying, and the Taifu father and son in fighting the epidemic during this period have been witnessed by the people of Beijing. The 447th Beijing Epidemic Fighting Team has become famous and its reputation has spread among the people.
None of the problems Lang Daowen raised, such as the shortage of medicinal materials, rising drug prices, and pressure from public opinion, stumped Qi Yun.
Lang Daowen and the other imperial doctors were both frustrated and puzzled: "This is really strange. How come there are so many medicinal herbs all of a sudden?"
Doctor Jiang has Concubine Rou as his backer, so he knows more news: "Those drug dealers who are willing to release the medicine are not our people, and we don't know their inventory strength. In addition, it is said that the Taifu family has transferred the inventory of medicinal materials from the mansions of relatives who can be contacted."
Doctor Jiang sighed. They were no match for the old-fashioned Taifu. "The Taifu has spent a lot of money to pave the way for his son Xue Wei in the officialdom."
Lang Daowen slammed the table angrily and said, "The son of the Grand Tutor ranked last in the imperial examination, how could he be qualified to enter the palace examination?
"Isn't it just that he can write some lyrical poems? I see how serious he is, how could he possibly pass the palace examination?"
"It doesn't matter what the Master is like. What matters is this."
Doctor Luo shook his head: "Now the drug dealers in the Drug Dealers Association don't want to do business with us anymore. They even hold a grudge against us and want us to compensate them for their losses."
His face was solemn. "I heard that the emperor has told Prince Jin to wait until this epidemic is over and then thoroughly investigate the price gouging and monopoly of medicinal materials. Now all drug dealers are in danger."
Lang Daowen's heart trembled, and he looked at Doctor Jiang: "The Prime Minister and Concubine Rou will protect us, right?"
"Empress Roufei's baby needs your care."
Doctor Jiang looked sad and said, "Alas, now that Concubine Rou asked me to check her pulse to protect her pregnancy, I am trembling with fear."
Concubine Rou also knew about Doctor Jiang's plan. Her father was the current Left Prime Minister Zhuo Siying, who was second only to the Prime Minister.
The reason why this group of imperial doctors dared to join forces with the drug dealers to do this was of course because they had the golden support of the Left Prime Minister.
Many of the drugstores that have monopolized medicinal materials and raised drug prices belong to the prime minister. If the pharmacies no longer need their medicinal materials, the prime minister will suffer a huge loss this time.
Moreover, Concubine Rou wanted to frame Concubine Ying with a crime of "extravagance and wastefulness in times of national crisis". She gave Concubine Ying a lot of luxury items for food, clothing and daily necessities, and had her spies serve Concubine Ying every day, and spread the word of Concubine Ying's publicity everywhere in the palace.
What she was waiting for was the emptied treasury, and she would unite with other palaces to morally blackmail Xin Yingshu, forcing her to donate all the things she had collected. Then, she would make some arrangements and use the collected money to buy medicinal materials for their Zhuo family pharmacy.
As it turned out, Imperial Physician Qi had the support of the Imperial Tutor and Prince of Jin, and he solved all the problems directly, leaving Concubine Rou and Prime Minister Zhuo with no place to perform.
Doctor Jiang looked very unhappy: "We messed up, I don't know if the Prime Minister will protect us..."
Lang Daowen exhaled a foul breath. He was afraid that his position as the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital would be in jeopardy. His face was gloomy. "But one thing is certain. Qi Yun has offended Prime Minister Zhuo. His future will not be easy."

Today, Jiang Lili was in a good mood. Firstly, the epidemic in Beijing was under control and her friends were promoted and got salary increases. Secondly, after more than a month's journey, they finally arrived in Lianzhou.
The exile team would arrive at the Lixian Post Station under Lianzhou before sunset to settle down and wait for the government to arrange a ship to escort the exiles to Haizhou.
The Lianzhou area has a well-developed water system and is mostly plains. It is not as mountainous as the northern part of Lingnan when they first arrived. The population is much more dense than in the north, and it is also the most prosperous place in Lingnan.
In the carriage, Jiang Lili was carrying a basket of exquisite cosmetics and skin care products in her backpack. She didn't need them during her exile, but these exquisite little gadgets helped her best friend Hou Xiaoxiao a lot these days.
"Drip drip."
Hou Xiaoxiao sent a message to Jiang Lili: [Lili, I have returned to the palace now. Has the goods I wanted arrived? ]
Jiang Lili: [It’s here, I’ll send it to you now! ]
Jiang Lili gave the counted cosmetics and skincare products to Hou Xiaoxiao in a red envelope.
After Hou Xiaoxiao got these things, she asked the maid beside her to call the thirty-two sisters to a meeting.
These days, if there are patients with mild symptoms in Beijing, or those who have not been infected with the epidemic but want to grab or stock up on medicine, Hou Xiaoxiao will directly serve them with a poisonous meal.
The specialties she brought back from Miaojiang were so scary just to look at, that the patients were so frightened that they waited obediently.
In an environment like an epidemic, it is easy for the strong to bully the weak, but Hou Xiaoxiao did not tolerate it and continued to promote her reputation as the "evil girl of the capital."
In this way, she won the hearts of most honest and peaceful people, and the name of "evil woman" gradually changed to "chivalrous woman".
What’s even more frightening is that this princess is particularly idle. Isn’t it said that she has thirty-two concubines to deal with in the mansion?
What about the thirty-two concubines? They are not very good at fighting!
Little did they know that all 32 concubines were willing to "work" for Hou Xiaoxiao.
The princesses are now richer than the princes, and the rewards they receive are rouge and powder that are not available on the market, as well as magical facial masks...
