Chapter 58 Gu Yuzhi smiled and was in a good mood again
Hearing Judge Qin say this, Gu Yuzhi knew that he really would not go to the hospital for consultation, so he pouted and asked Judge Qin to leave.

As for opening a medicine store, Gu Yuzhi had to wait until Xie Changshi came back.

The situation of the snowstorm in Mobei this time was not very good. Not to mention the collapse of houses outside the city, many houses collapsed in civilian areas within the city. Xie Changshi had been busy for almost half a month. When Gu Yuzhi saw him again, he almost collapsed. Unrecognizable.

"Your Highness." Xie Changshi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Yuzhi. During this period, he was also very tired and his voice became hoarse. "The refugees outside the city have been resettled. The number of deaths has also reached the prefecture level." Reported."

Gu Yuzhi's face was serious. After Xie Changshi drank two cups of tea, he said: "Changshi, didn't you say that Changzhou is the most prosperous city in Mobei? Why did so many people die in the first snowstorm? There are still more in winter. A few months later, what will happen to these refugees?”

After he woke up, Nanny Xu refused to allow him to go to the disaster relief site again. Shen Yu'an often went outside the city in the name of Wenfu and brought back a lot of news.

The state capital next door brought not only manpower but also refugees. The prefect of Qi was afraid of causing a riot, so he had to keep these people outside the city and send government officials to patrol day and night.

Fortunately, a temporary residence outside the city has been built, and the prefect's Yamen will also distribute some relief porridge and food every day. However, it is difficult to arrange work for these people in winter, so we can only take it one step at a time.

The servant brought Xie Changshi a cup of hot tea. Xie Changshi, who always drank tea, drank several cups before he regained his composure: "It's already December, and the snow will begin to melt in March next year. In the meantime, For more than two months, Magistrate Qi has tried his best to find short-term jobs for them to do."

But there were too many refugees and too few jobs in the ice and snow. Magistrate Qi had stayed up for several nights and lost a lot of his hair.

"Now the Changzhou granary has been opened, but the quantity is limited, I'm afraid it won't last long. Secondly, the journey is long, and I have to wait for the court's disaster relief grain to arrive. I'm afraid these two months have passed..."

Gu Yuzhi's face was tense, and he was so worried that he couldn't help it. All the food that could be distributed in the house had been scattered, and they were now buying high-priced food from Li Ji Trading Company.

Unable to think of a solution, Gu Yuzhi simply forgot about it and turned to talk about the cause of the snow disaster: "I heard from the servant in the mansion that it snows every year in Changzhou. Why is this year's snow disaster so serious?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Xie Changshi's face fell: "I asked Magistrate Qi, and Magistrate Qi said that the big reason was Li Ji Trading Company. After Li Ji Trading Company established a foothold in Mobei, it not only raised Due to the price of grain, they also used various means to purchase a lot of fertile land outside the city, and then raised the rent. After farmers farmed the land and paid rent, almost all the money they had left was used to buy grain. Where could there be any extra money? Repair the house.”

It’s okay if you don’t practice for one year, but what about two or three years?These houses had been stretched to the extreme, so they collapsed one after another when the snow fell.

Gu Yuzhi never expected this to be the reason, and said angrily: "Li Ji Trading Company is so bad, why doesn't Governor Qi kick them out?"

What a child's talk!
Xie Changshi pinched his brows and said tiredly: "Your Highness, you must know that the amount of taxes paid by merchants is very high. If Changzhou wants to develop, how can it be possible to drive out the largest trading houses? What's more, the background of Liji Trading Company is extremely deep. Guess, how dare Governor Qi act rashly? During this snowstorm, Li Ji Trading Company raised food prices overnight, which has already affected several other prefectures in Mobei."

Li Ji Trading Company has such great influence in Changzhou, no wonder Qi Prefect would actively take them to Panxia Escort Agency before.

Shu Xiaohan sighed deeply: "The people in Mobei are really living in dire straits."

Shopkeeper Wen continued to exploit every opportunity: "This Li Ji Trading Company is really inhumane! Your Highness, please tell Xie Changshi about opening a medicine shop. As long as we get the medicinal materials from the Zou family, we will definitely hit Dr. Li Ji hard." Clinic." If you ask Gu Yuzhi who he hates the most right now, it would definitely be the people from Li Ji Medical Clinic. It would be really happy if his pharmacy could really open up and take away the business of Li Ji Medical Clinic.

Gu Yuzhi's eyes were rolling, and he was about to think of how to speak when he heard Xie Changshi say: "Your Highness, as soon as I entered the mansion, I heard Qin Yuan and He Chen say, do you want Qin Yuan to go to the hospital for a consultation? Can He? Please tell me, why do you think so?"

Gu Yuzhi snorted angrily: "Judge Qin has already refused, and he's talking about me! I didn't even bother with him, but he dared to file a complaint against you. I'm going to fine him a month's salary!"

Not only was he fined a salary, but he was also not allowed to eat the food cooked by Grandma Xu for a month!
Xie Changshi...

"Your Highness, Guard Qi will agree because of his character and he likes to travel all over the country. In addition, we can pass the news to the emperor through the escort agency. But this does not mean that the Qin Court Judge will agree to him working as a hospital judge. A doctor who sits in the clinic. The identities of the two are very different. His Highness should not have consulted the Qin Court without consulting the minister."

"Qin Shinan told me that Judge Qin began to think that you wanted to use his medical skills to make money."

Gu Yuzhi looked at Judge Qin with a puffed-up face and his big eyes were watery: "I know. Besides, I didn't ask Judge Qin to be a sitting doctor because I wanted to make money."

He recounted all the scenes he saw that day. After speaking, he was still a little angry, and slapped the table below: "I don't want Judge Qin to be wronged again in the future, let alone the people of Liji Trading Company for these inexplicable reasons. Harm the people."

Gu Yuzhi looked at Qin Court Judge: "Qin Court Judge, you told me before that I am the king of Mobei and the heaven of the people of Mobei. If I were like Li Ji Trading Company, the people of Mobei would only live in poverty. It’s going to be tougher.”

He has become enlightened and will turn six years old.He is no longer a three or four year old kid who doesn’t understand anything.

Xie Changshi was confused.

He didn't know that these words were the result of Teacher Shu's subtle education for many days. He only knew that he seemed to be in exile, but in fact he had picked up a big treasure.

Xie Changshi comes from a poor family, and he understands the sufferings of the people best. He knows what kind of life a place where parents and officials are diligent and caring for the people can make the local people live.

He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes by raising his hand: "Your Highness loves the people so much, which is a blessing to the people of Mobei. But the Qin Court has decided that Your Highness should give up. I came to His Highness today for another matter, which is about the medicine store. . Empress De Concubine’s mother’s natal family is the largest grower of medicinal materials in the Sang Dynasty. I believe that Your Highness can directly speak to Concubine De Concubine. I believe that Concubine De Concubine will not refuse you.”

Gu Yuzhi?

He had just been thinking about whether Xie Changshi would refuse to open a pharmacy by himself because of the Qin Court's ruling, but who would have thought that Xie Changshi would propose it himself!

Gu Yuzhi smiled and was in a good mood again.
