Chapter 58
Taking advantage of the break of boiling the medicine, Wang Shuyan was thinking a lot and tried Dr. Li: "Dad, the most important thing in midsummer is to nourish the spleen. The spleen and stomach are most afraid of dampness and cold. From time to time, someone will make fun of you and cause you to get sick. If you can It would be a good thing to make protective summer medicine available to the public."

Dr. Li understood what she meant and said clearly: "You want to sell medicine?"

Seeing that he asked directly, Wang Shuyan didn't hide it, her eyes were bright, and she asked with a thoughtful smile: "Yes, what does dad think?"

Doctor Li sighed and poured cold water on her: "Ordinary people only seek medical treatment when they have something to do. How can they be willing to buy medicine when they are not sick?"

Most of the patients he comes into contact with are only willing to see a doctor when they are very sick. Some are confused and would rather wait until the illness goes away. The unlucky ones are suffering from a minor illness until they are terminally ill. In the end, the medicine is ineffective, which is pitiful and annoying.

Wang Shuyan also thought about this and proposed a second plan: "What if it is made into a medicine that is easy to store? For example, powder or wine."

The conditions in ancient times were limited. If it was made into powder and wine, there would be no need to worry about this problem.

Doctor Li saw that she had thought it over carefully and asked with a smile: "How will it be sold after it is made?"

Seeing the drama, Wang Shuyan continued: "I heard from my father yesterday that your eldest son wrote to you saying that several cases of the same symptoms as those in the exile village have appeared in the county and Linxian. Your eldest son is working as a doctor at the county hospital. As a doctor, now is the best time.

We can prescribe or use powders for rich people, and we can use alcoholic beverages for ordinary people. The advantages of patent medicines are that they are easy to circulate inside and outside the county. Secondly, the price is absolutely affordable, which can change the people's concept that they are afraid to treat diseases because medicines are expensive. .

Besides, there are diseases caused by climate all year round. The most difficult times for farming people are summer and winter. We can also prepare two kinds of medicines, such as cold medicine and heat medicine, so that people can be treated first when the disease comes. Take it all at once. "

When a terrible plague occurs in the last days, there are not enough doctors at all, and they are all crowded in the hospital. The patent medicines in the pharmacy will be emptied immediately. Patent medicines are watchdogs at critical moments, so she can smell business opportunities in a backward era. .

Dr. Li nodded while listening, as if it made sense. He glanced at her and asked, "Then tell me honestly, where did this recipe come from?"

Wang Shuyan explained more carefully this time: "To be honest with Dad, the source of this prescription is in "Taiping Huimin Hejiju Prescription". I always want to check the ancient books to see if the red class birthmark on my face can be removed. After reading the prescriptions for a long time, I fell in love with medical books. In the past, my family was relatively well-off, so I would copy a few classic prescriptions when I had nothing to do. Over time, I remembered them.

At present, my family is in decline and my father is not in a good place. If I want to live a good life, I have to find more ways to make money. If dad thinks it is feasible, I might as well consider it. "

Dr. Li was shaken: "When it's all done here, you go to my place to prepare some powder and wine. I'll send it to my eldest son to try first."

Wang Shuyan laughed out loud and said gratefully: "Dad, you are really my biological father. No matter whether you succeed or not, I will always be grateful to you."

The most rare thing in life is to meet a noble person, who can help you survive in desperate situations and turn danger into safety.

Doctor Li laughed and scolded: "Glib talk, no formality." But he really liked her.

……

As soon as the medicine was boiled, Zhao Qian ordered the officials to carry it out and beat gongs and drums to ask the prisoners to take their own bowls and line up to drink the medicine.

The people who dispensed the medicine were all official servants. According to the doctor's instructions, every bowl was filled to the brim, which was fair and even.

The prisoners in ragged clothes all looked like they didn't want to drink the medicine when they got it. Zhao Qian had already warned them about this, and urged with a sullen face and a bad tone: "Drink it quickly, do you really want to get sick?"

The scolded prisoner was frightened and shook his head: "Drink now..."

The prisoners all knew that many people had fallen ill recently. Seeing the pain on their faces as they ran to the latrines every day, they naturally did not want to be infected by them. When they heard that it was preventable medicine, they held back their nausea and closed their eyes and drank it.

Several prisoners finished drinking and asked Zhao Qian with pained expressions: "Superintendent Zhao, why is this medicine so... strange?" He tried to describe it as politely as possible.Zhao Qian, who is now learning and selling medicine, started to scold: "The medicine is either bitter or smelly, and it is not a tonic soup. It is good if it can make you drink it. I hate it."

Because Supervisor Zhao was watching over them, everyone finished their drinks conscientiously, and then showed him the empty bowls with a bitter look on their faces.

Some people who received the medicine couldn't stand the taste and wanted to drink water after drinking the medicine. Zhao Qian asked the official to bring the boiled and warm water out of the stove. The official said in a bad tone: "You can scoop as much as you want."

The prisoners looked surprised and didn't understand how to get the water out of the kitchen house. They usually fetched a bucket from the stream and left it somewhere for everyone to scoop out and drink.

Someone scooped up a bowl of water and found that it was still warm. A long-lost feeling welled up in the throat, very light but very heavy.

This emotion lasted until meal time, when I saw the large white rice porridge brought out by the official from the kitchen house. I couldn't help but shed tears after taking the first sip. It was so delicious and still tasted the same as before.

That scene happened to be seen by Wang Shuyan. Her eyes flickered, and she thought of Xiao Yuanzheng at home. She remembered that when she first rescued him, he was so moved while eating porridge, and she didn't know what he was thinking at that time.

At this time, an old man with a round face sighed: "Oh, this rice porridge is so delicious. I would be willing to die if I eat it."

Some people joked and ridiculed: "Master He, you are always strong, it's still early, please take your time to atone for your sins."

When the round-faced old man heard this, he became angry and scolded the thin man sitting next to him: "Old Ji, you, an upright official, came here to build a city tower. Is this to atone for your sins?"

The thin man had a calm expression on his face: "I am happy to do so!"

The round-faced old man said angrily: "You madman, you dare to even take advantage of yourself in order to get me off my horse. You are really a madman."

The thin man who was scolded looked up to the sky and laughed: "Then I'm so worth it. I pulled you He Shen down, and I don't know how many people can live a good life. I also pulled down the corrupt officials who followed you to be buried with you. I think I, Ji Xiao, still made a profit." Yes, I can be the last resort in exchange for ten years of non-corruption in the future country, what a deal."

The fat old man bared his teeth and said, "Madman, you are so pedantic." He turned around and ran away.

The thin man quickly followed him and continued to trouble him: "Master He, don't run away. Why are you running when you are having such a good time..."

Wang Shuyan looked at the pair of old political enemies who didn't know who they were, and asked Zhao Qian inexplicably: "Who are these two people?"

Zhao Qian sighed: "The former corrupt official He Shen and the upright official Ji Xiao were involved in the case of thousands of corpses sinking into the pond three years ago. Ji Xiao found out that it was related to the prince and He Shen. In order to redress the grievances of the suffering people of Li, Ji Xiao Your Excellency found the evidence and presented it to Your Majesty in front of all the civil and military officials to expose the prince's misconduct, and the prince was eventually deposed.

He Shen, who also came up with the idea, and various officials involved in the case were brought to justice. The case was clearly solved, but for some reason, His Majesty also blamed him.We all respected him as an upright official with all courtesy, but Mr. He didn't have it so easy. He was often beaten. If he hadn't had some martial arts skills, he would have died long ago.But it is saddening to see a loyal minister end up like this in his old age. "

Wang Shuyan looked at Mr. Ji Xiao and said thoughtfully: "A good bird chooses a tree to rest, and a good minister chooses his master to live. Mr. Ji, who was willing to do this at the time, was probably gambling."

"It's a pity that he lost the bet."

Zhao Qian and Wang Shuyan looked in shock and saw Zhang Jiulin in official uniform suddenly appearing in the Exile Village.
