Chapter 121 The left hand is the right hand, and you are cheating yourself.

Long live my life, I think of him as an ordinary doctor and a scholar who failed many times.

To suddenly become a Minister of the Ministry, appointed by the emperor, no one can bear this.

"I will send royal students to help you complete the work, and I will also send several Qianhu offices to deploy for you. If there is any disobedience or disobedience, just kill them directly.

What you need now is to go back and take your students with you to understand the source, contagiousness, and treatment methods of this plague.

In this regard, the Biography of the Barefoot Doctor in your hand is better than half of the medical classics you have read.

I don’t want to see the plague continue to spread and even cover the entire Ming Dynasty.”

"Students are ordered to close their doors and thank guests when they return today, and concentrate on studying."

Wu Youke replied respectfully, and after he left with the book, Chongzhen took out a small piece of paper over there.

"Well, Wu Youxing has been obtained, and the Ministry of Health is basically stable, but why hasn't the other team of doctors I summoned come yet?

Next month we will divide a group into disaster relief, and the army should grow rapidly.

But, who should I send? Li Banghua? Cao Bianjiao? It’s really hard to choose. The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh. These are all people who died for me once.

Well, then let Cao become a dragon. If you don't speak well, you can take the blame."

Chongzhen and Chen Ye's plan was to add five regiments of soldiers to the officer corps, leave two regiments in the capital for standing vigilance training, send one regiment out to provide disaster relief, show movies on the way, and attract young people from all over the country to join the army.

By applying one's point to another, an army of educated young people will soon be born. By then, Chongzhen will be very happy.

Anyway, he is not worried about food and salary. In this case, if he wants to do something, he will do something big.

Thinking of food and salary, Chongzhen felt that he had not received news for a long time, so he called Wang Chengen to ask about the situation.

"Wang Banban, what is the current situation of grain purchases by the grain merchants in the capital?"

"Going back to your Majesty, they are squatting here every day. As long as we open the door, no matter how many people there are, they will ask for it. The same goes for all the state capitals.

So far, the Royal Company has made an income of 600,000 taels just from selling grain.

Among them were 70,000 taels of copper coins, 45 taels of cash and 80,000 taels of silver notes.

By the way, Your Majesty, because we received another 40,000 shi yesterday, the food is expected to be consumed in two days, so I did not report to you about the increase in food supply."

"Well, they're out of cash?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the grain merchants around the capital are all borrowing money from their respective families and clans."

After hearing Wang Chengen's reply, Chongzhen lightly knocked on the table.

"Then it's time to wrap things up. Have you found the person who asked you to find someone to raise the banknotes for sale and the person who ran the bank?"

"I found it. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Duke Zhu Guo, Duke Cheng, and Uncle Jiading all received the banknotes we sold at low prices.

When they know that even the banks can't exchange cash, they will force the banks to give them money, and then we will collect the grain they ransacked, hehehe!!!"

"Okay, I won my heart, and you really understand what I and the shop owner mean, hehehehe!!!"

In the palace, the emperor and his ministers laughed sadly at the same time.

…

A small village outside the capital.

The grain merchant groups in the capital came to discuss the matter, and everyone felt that this was the last chance.

In addition to the Fan family, the Kong family, and the Kong family who came back after seeing the limelight, there are also spokespersons for the nobles.

The small courtyard was filled with wealthy businessmen wearing silk fabrics, and there were also maids and servants running back and forth.

But they didn't notice that the boys were not only watching them all the time, but also placed a box under their table.

Fan Sanzhao saw Kong Lianli coming and invited him to sit down in the side room first, and the two of them chatted alone.

"Brother Kong, how many military coupons did you redeem?"

"I exchanged six million."

"Hiss? Thirty thousand shi! You actually redeemed 30,000 shi? With so many military coupons, how much medicine can you buy?

I recently saw that penicillin, but I was very greedy. If you get gold, you have to buy it in a limited way. You can only buy it in bulk if you get military coupons.

As long as we have so many military coupons, we can buy them and sell them to the Qing Dynasty. They will need those things to fight the war.

Well, I'll go find the shopkeeper of their store in the afternoon and I want to exchange it too."

Fan Sanzhao looked at Kong Lianli's embarrassed face, and instantly became energetic. He didn't expect that Kong Lianli had redeemed a hundred thousand stone military coupons. Now, there were too many things to buy.

But he hid one thing, that is, he also exchanged 20,000 stones.

"Well, those can't be redeemed. What's redeemed is not military coupons, but food coupons. It can only be exchanged for food, but it cannot be exchanged for medical supplies and medicines, but it can be redeemed at the original price."

"What? You also...didn't you tell me that you could redeem military coupons that day?

And Brother Kong, do you still agree to such conditions? Doesn’t it mean that the food coupons have not been exchanged if they are exchanged?"

Hearing Kong Lianli's words, Fan San's expression changed. Isn't this really Chongzhen's plan?

"Hey, they said that one stone of rice can be exchanged for two hundred and one grain coupons, which is half a percent more.

And I thought, it would be nice to be able to buy some food. All kinds of delicacies in the world, the price is not expensive, and it can be easily resold.

Besides, even if we lose money in the end, we can still buy grain, which is probably 50% off."

"You are confused! It's all your fault. You sent it here like this, but we don't have cash. In the end, our grain cannot be sold at the price, so we will lose blood."

Now the entire grain merchants in the capital have spent more than half of their money, and the private warehouses in various states are almost full. If there is still a grain road in Chongzhen, we will be in trouble."

Fan San stamped his feet angrily, couldn't this guy see that there was something wrong with this? Chongzhen sold grain, and they paid for it, and then put the grain in the Royal Merchant and exchanged it for a bunch of grain coupons.

Damn it, this idiot, just now he was thinking that he could make money with penicillin blood, but now that he thinks about it, tens of thousands of his people's cash flow has been stolen.

"Brother Fan, you are looking down on me now. I thought about it carefully and inquired about it. Many people are also exchanging money for them.

But no one dares to be too presumptuous, because there is not much cash.

I asked my people at the Ministry of Revenue and found out that the last batch of rations for the frontier army had been taken away the day before yesterday. The rations were supposed to be out today, but I was the one who replenished them for the Royal Merchant.

As long as these last tens of thousands of stones are gone, the entire capital will be without food.

When the time comes, will the royal business and the emperor be left to our own devices if they want to obtain grain?"

"Brother Kong, Brother Kong, you are worthy of being a grain businessman. The people you have in the Ministry of Household Affairs are really energetic."

"Of course, he is a new member of the Tohoku Kurabe Division, Wai Lang. I only spent five thousand taels to kill him."

Kong Lianli said his inner answer with a stern look on his face. Neither of them noticed that there was a small box attached under the table, and several lamp beads were flashing in the completely covered interior.

A handsome boy in the household department is about to be taken to Jinyiwei and beaten...

"By the way, Brother Kong, when the capital's food supply is cut off, we shouldn't rush to take the lead. We'll wait for them to take the lead."

"Brother Fan, don't worry. It's better for you to save yourself. I understand the principle of shooting the first bird.

However, there have been a lot of transfers in the imperial court recently, and many of the officials we had arranged before have been transferred, otherwise we could have them force the emperor."

When Kong Lianli heard Fan San's words, he immediately understood what he meant.

In the first two days of the food shortage, people should go hungry in the market to let people know that the emperor could no longer produce food.

After the discussion, the two returned to the courtyard and enjoyed the opera on the stage with others.

In the capital city.

Wu Youke walked out of the palace in a vain manner, which made the two apprentices waiting for him think that he had done something improper inside.

"Master, are you okay? Your Majesty is scolding you?"

"Yes, Master, I see that you can't even walk safely. Is Your Majesty very fierce?"

On the carriage, no Jin Yiwei was watching, and the two apprentices seemed to be talking casually.

"Please be careful. This is the capital. Misfortune comes from the mouth."

Wu Youke paused, watched the two students calm down, and continued.

"I was talking to His Majesty in the palace today, and His Majesty said that he would make me a Minister of the First Division."

"Wow! Teacher, you have become an official, and you will be a fourth-rank official when you first come."

"Congratulations, teacher, congratulations, teacher."

Listening to the compliments of the two students, Wu Youke continued to smile happily, and the carriage was driven by the driver to the post house, where they had to stay for the time being.

The house arranged for him by Chongzhen is still being cleaned.

As he read deeper into the book in his hand, Wu Youke's smile gradually disappeared.

The seriousness began to show, and the two students were talking about pharmacology to each other, and gradually they also noticed Wu Youke's appearance.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

"I just saw the contagiousness of the plague and what the so-called virus is.

It’s unbelievable, you can only see it after magnifying it two hundred times? This picture is what it looks like after magnifying it two hundred times?”
