Chapter 398
Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
"I heard that when the third prince captured Zhou, he grabbed a writing brush with one hand and a sword with the other. This means that in the future, both civil and martial arts will be required!"
"Didn't the second prince have a strange vision? He just grabbed a weight, what's the use?"
Several little palace maids were sitting in the courtyard, drying dried bamboo shoots and whispering.
Mu Linghua was carrying pig's feet, soybeans, kelp, wolfberry dates and other sealed cans of meat. She turned left and suddenly faced Linlang's expressionless face. She didn't know how long she had been standing there looking at it.
She used to smile mostly, which was a compulsory course in the palace. Suddenly, she looked like she had never seen before, and her eyes were dark and very scary.
"babble!"
Mu Linghua screamed and almost dropped the sand jar in her hand. If Lin Lang hadn't been quick to grab a handful, she would have rolled to pieces on the ground.
Several little palace maids were also frightened, and they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak any more.
These are all new maids who entered the palace this year. They are not very young and are in the innocent stage of being curious about the new things in the palace.
This kind of one is the most useful. Whether it is used as an arrow or as a shield, it is of high quality and low price.
In this sensitive period, the words of these little palace maids may not only affect themselves, but may also implicate the entire Shangshi Bureau.
Linlang thought about it and frowned.
"Didn't Auntie Xi teach you that you shouldn't discuss things that shouldn't be discussed? Or is it that the work in the Shangshi Bureau is too easy, and when you get tired of it, you want to find work in the Clothing Bureau or the Leng Palace?"
The faces of the little maids suddenly turned pale.
For people like them, being able to enter the Sixth Shang is a good starting point.
If he ends up in the Clothing Bureau or the Cold Palace, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. Linlang usually looks kind and kind, but he didn't expect to change his face as soon as he said it.
"Shang Zheng! Shang Zheng, please spare us. We realize our mistake and we will never dare to say nonsense again!" Several people hurriedly fell to the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Linlang didn't speak, but just took a few steps forward.
The sun was shining brightly at noon, but there was an inexplicable aura of gloominess lingering around her, making people feel as if they were in a tomb forest, with a chill running straight down the spine.
"you."
Linlang suddenly pointed at the palace maid who first brought up this topic, "I will tell the aunt in charge of the imperial garden this afternoon and ask you to come to her place."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, those who can't control their mouths will easily cause trouble in the future. It's better to send them away early and kill the chickens and monkeys at the same time.
"Shang Zheng, Shang Zheng, I beg you. I don't want to go to the imperial garden." The little palace maid's face turned pale as she cried, trying to pull the hem of Linlang's skirt.
Being able to come here is somewhat ambitious.
What's more, there was already such a successful example as Linlang, and these little maids had already inquired about it when they entered the palace.
My heart is eager to try.
But before it officially started, I was kicked off the starting line.
"I have always said nothing here, and the master in the palace will not discuss it with you. Since today's incident started with you, it will naturally have to be dealt with, as for the others."
Linlang shook the hem of her skirt, and the little palace maid immediately lost her grip and let go.
Seeing him falling to the ground with a despairing look on his face, she didn't even frown, and said in a cold and ruthless voice, "This time I will punish you according to the rules of the palace. As for next time, don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't tell me if it's your first offense.
No matter who they are, they will all be sent to me to work in the cold palace!"
There was a snap.
Mu Linghua still couldn't hold the sand jar in her hand firmly.
…
Two months have passed quickly since the vaccination time.
When it came time to test the results, Linlang went to great lengths to find a smallpox patient and made another small incision on Qiu Bai's arm to try.
She was on tenterhooks for several days, greeting her on time for three meals a day, for fear of something happening.
"how do you feel today?"
Taking out the dragon beard cake from the food box, Linlang started today's re-reading mode.
Meeting her worried eyes, Qiu Bai chuckled. His brows were light, and when they were curved, they were like ink spreading in the water, extending out thousands of green bamboo branches.
Pouring a cup of tea and putting it into her hand, he stretched out his hand and gently pulled the girl to sit down, and said, "That's great. Don't worry, but I think it's good to keep it like this for a few more days."
Linlang: "Ah, ah?"
The other party seemed to sigh melancholy: "After all, you don't come to me so often during the holidays."
Linlang, a workaholic who misses Chinese Valentine's Day every year:...
The real situation after talking about it for many years is that it becomes more and more serious.
She coughed twice with a guilty conscience, stretched out her hand and knocked on the table twice, "Business matters."
"The first batch will be rectified from the palace." After all, smallpox broke out from the palace in the simulation, so it is important to prevent the first wave anyway.
"good."
Qiu Bai only responded with one word.
At times like this, he usually acts as Linlang's second brain, filtering things for her and thinking about what's wrong with her methods and decisions.
"But this matter..." Linlang paused for a moment, "I want to leave it to Concubine Xian to take charge."
Qiu Bai raised his eyebrows a little higher and looked at her.
"Is this your decision?"
Her side has been revealed.
"Yes, I think Concubine Xian is the best candidate." Linlang made a pun.
The prince was too young to see anything, but she was optimistic about Shen Lanyi in the second position. The purpose of giving this opportunity to her was obvious.
Given the threat of smallpox to this time and space, if this matter can be accomplished in the palace, Shen Lanyi's reputation will definitely rise, which will help her accumulate prestige and win the battle for the back seat.
"In addition." Linlang said in a deep voice, remembering that the price of sick cattle was driven up in the simulation, which ultimately led to market imbalance.
"Now let's let the state governments purchase local sick cattle in advance. After the first batch in the palace is settled, each state government will arrange for a few imperial doctors to take the lead and organize local doctors to vaccinate the people, and temporarily prohibit them from vaccinating privately."
The government will be responsible for this. As long as most people have antibodies and no host, smallpox will disappear naturally.
Daqi is considered to be rich, and the losses caused by smallpox in the past were far greater than the investment in purchasing sick cattle. Moreover, with the addition of green manure, incense poison, and the end of the Quyuan plow, grain output has increased significantly.
Therefore, Murong Linshen would not be reluctant to release the money as long as he could avoid future troubles.
"This is a very thoughtful idea of yours. You really need to make a unified purchase before the news is released, otherwise I'm afraid someone will take advantage of it to make profits." Qiu Bai also thought of this.
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and no matter how peacefully the big Qi sings and dances, there will still be a few people underneath who are ready to make a move.
"I don't know much about this kind of thing."
Linlang shook his head, but he admitted his shortcomings very quickly, "So when you report it, it is best for the emperor to find a few more reliable ministers to give you advice."
After all, she was criticized by the eldest princess for being a cowardly official.
And Qiu Bai was not treated as an heir and was specially trained.
Everyone has their own strengths, and specialized tasks must be done by specialized people.
