"Major General, you heard it right. The prescription for this antidote can be given to the Southwest Army."

Song Zhe came back to his senses from his surprise. He was not overwhelmed by Ma Han's words. Instead, he became calmer.

Although Song Zhe is arrogant and conceited, he does have some abilities.

"What are the conditions?" Song Zhe looked at Ma Han steadily.

Ma Han smiled and said, "Well, our general hopes that we can bring Doctor Wu back as soon as possible."

This condition was within Song Zhe's expectations, as the purpose of their trip was to take Dr. Wu away.

He lowered his eyes. If he could get the prescription for the antidote, it wouldn't matter if Doctor Wu left.

What's more, even if they can detain them now and not let them leave, they can't detain them forever. They will have to release this person sooner or later.

In this case, it is natural to exchange for the greatest benefit.

"Okay, I agree to this condition. What other conditions do you have?"

Ma Han: “Well, these two are not the conditions we proposed.

After all, this prescription is not ours. The gentleman who developed the prescription said that he can give it to us, but the price is…"

He said this so clearly that Song Zhe naturally understood it.

"Money is not a problem." Song Zhe said nonchalantly, "How much does Doctor Wu want?

In fact, Doctor Wu can come and talk to me in person."

Through his understanding over the past few days, Song Zhe felt that Doctor Wu was devoted to medicine and was much easier to manipulate than the man in front of him.

"Who said that this antidote was developed by Doctor Wu?" Ma Han laughed, "In fact, there is nothing to hide from the Major General.

Someone else developed the antidote.”

Song Zhe looked surprised but couldn't help sneering in his heart. At this point, he was still thinking of fooling him. He really thought he was easy to fool.

If this antidote was not developed by Doctor Wu, why did he come to the southwest to conduct experiments? He didn't think that given Doctor Wu's reputation, he would be willing to be inferior to others.

"Oh? I see. General Gu's subordinates are really full of talented people.

It's really enviable, I wonder how much that expert wants to sell it for?"

Ma Han: "Two million taels of silver."

"What! Two million taels!" Song Zhe stood up from the stool and was about to scold him for asking for such an exorbitant amount of money.

Ma Han spoke up, "Major General, I also think the price is too high, but after all, I am just a messenger, not the one who makes the decision.

If the Major General has any opinions, please tell me and I will send someone to convey them to the General."

Song Zhe swallowed his words and gave him a meaningful look. "Deputy General Ma is right. I will discuss this matter with my father."

After Song Zhe finished speaking, he said goodbye to Ma Han. Before leaving, he glanced at Zhao Weijie who was standing next to Deputy General Ma.

After Song Zhe left, Zhao Weijie scratched his head and said, "Deputy General, what do you think the look he gave me just now meant?"

"Just watch slowly and you'll know." Ma Han said and stood up and went back to his room.

He had a feeling that the day when they would return was not far away.

……

In the evening, Song Yan came back from the military camp, and Song Zhe told him what Ma Han had said.

"What!" Song Yan slapped his palm on the table, making a heavy muffled sound, "Two million taels, why don't they go and rob it!"

In fact, this price is still within Song Yan's affordability, but it is not a small number.

Now that Doctor Wu is still in their hands, their request seems to him to be tantamount to robbing money.

"What do you think, father?" Song Zhe didn't want to pay the money either.

"How are the people in the Medical Department doing with their research? Have they found out the ingredients in the detoxification pill?

Possibly imitation? "

As early as when he discovered that the antidote brought by the man surnamed Wu was indeed useful, he sent people to steal some and sent them to the Medical Bureau to have them analyze and imitate it, but there has been no progress.

Speaking of this, Song Zhe's face did not look good, "Those people in the medical department are a bunch of good-for-nothings.

It's been so long, and they still haven't made any progress.

If we want them to copy the antidote, it will probably take a longer time."

What Song Zhe didn't say was that even if they spent longer, they might not be able to develop it.

However, although Song Zhe did not say it, Song Yan had thought of this possibility.

"An antidote that can eliminate miasma is extremely important to the southwest." Song Yan is determined to get it.

"They are just taking advantage of this point and are asking for such a high price." Song Zhe was very dissatisfied with this. "Father, Doctor Wu is in our hands. Even if we hold him captive, what can we do?

We have the upper hand now, why waste time talking to them!"

Song Yan glared at him and said, "You know about this, how could Gu Changfeng not know about it?

Since he dared to do this, he must have other plans.

What's more, the Wu guy is very popular in the southwest now, and it would be hard to explain if we acted rashly against him."

"What's the point of explaining to a bunch of lowly people like them?" Song Zhe didn't care.

No matter how much he pretends to be, he still looks superior in his heart.

"Asshole!" Song Yan was suddenly disappointed with his son, "Some things are just known in your heart, why don't you try to do it?

You have been in the southwest for so long, but you still don't understand the customs and folkways here.

The people here are tough and the chieftain's words are more effective than those of the county magistrate. If you don't do what he wants, he will dare to rebel.

If they rebel and hide in the mountains, what can you do to them?

I'm already troubled enough by the military affairs, so don't rush to mess with me."

"Then are we really going to give them two million taels?" Song Zhe didn't want to give it.

Song Yan frowned and gritted his teeth, "Give it to them. When we have the prescription, we will be able to make money back sooner or later."

In the past, the Zhenbei Army made a lot of money from hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

The use of antidotes in the southwest is much wider than those two drugs, so it is only a matter of time before we make the profit.

"Take this pair of cards and go to the mansion to withdraw two million taels of silver," Song Yan took out a pair of cards from his sleeve and gave it to him, "and invite Ma Han to come over for lunch tomorrow at noon."

Song Zhe took the pair of cards, a dark light flashed in his eyes. He said that he could give them the money, but they should not have an easy time. They should not think that it was so easy to take the money from the General's Mansion.

If you have the life to get it, you must also have the life to spend it.

……

In the evening, Ma Han gathered the others together.

"Today I have told Song Zhe everything I should have said according to the plan. I think they should take action tomorrow."

"But are they really willing to give you two million taels of silver?" Zhao Weijie asked hesitantly.

That's not two taels or twenty taels, that's two million taels. He couldn't save that much money even if he didn't eat or drink for ten lifetimes.

He even doubted whether they had so much silver.

Someone asked his question.

"Do they really have two million taels?"

"If not, Song Zhe wouldn't have said today that he wanted to go back to discuss it." Ma Han knew the answer to this.

This number must have been estimated by the general, and it would make them feel painful but not too painful.
