Li Xian looked at Wu Zetian in surprise.

I don’t understand why my mother asked Chen Yuan, a mere county magistrate with a big sesame seed, and what major affairs of the court are.

It would be great if you could manage the one-acre and three-point land you had under your control.

Chen Yuan was surprised: It’s impossible, my Zhou Dynasty is rich all over the world, how could it be that the national treasury could not even produce 300,000 guan?

Wu Zetian smiled bitterly: "Yes, Wu can't understand this problem either. He clearly inherited the legacy of Zhenguan, so why does this situation still occur?"

Chen Yuan glanced at Wu Zetian, but didn't think much, just thought it was because the children of the big family wanted to earn a lot of credit for their family.

However, if you can help Wu Di solve the problem of purchasing medicines and sticking to this line, it may be of some benefit to you in the future.

"Dare you ask Mr. Wu, what kind of evil disease has the army been infected? It takes so much 300,000 yuan?" Chen Yuan said curiously.

"Shangguan, take out the prescription!"

"Yes, young master."

Shangguan Wan'er took the prescription out of the bag and put it on the table.

Chen Yuan was shocked when he saw the official seal on it.

It was actually a prescription issued by the Imperial Medical Office, and it was covered with the official seal of the Imperial Medical Order!

You should know that the Imperial Medical Office is affiliated to Taichang Temple and is known as the place with the most medical experts in the entire Dazhou.

Ordinary people are not qualified to get the prescription from the Imperial Medical Department, and they can't even do it. Unexpectedly, the young masters of these three wealthy families will take out one casually.

"You can even take out the prescriptions from the Imperial Medical Department, but the background is not simple."

Wu Zetian smiled slightly: To be honest, Mr. Shen, Wu has some connections in Taichang Temple, and it is easy to get a prescription."

"I see...."

Chen Yuan no longer asked more questions, his eyes were on the prescription.

This is a prescription for treating malaria. The recommendation given by the Imperial Medical Department is to first take Da Chaihu Decoction to the patient, and then supplemented with Baihu Decoction and Yulu San...

Among them, there are twenty-eight kinds of medicinal herbs, Akagisa and Glycyrrhiza leaves. Not only does it take time and effort, but it can only delay the condition and cannot effectively treat malaria.

"I guess you can see that it is a huge burden for the court, whether it is the medicinal materials needed or the silver spent."

"If Lord Shen has any great ideas, you can tell me it. Wu listened with scruples."

Chen Yuan touched his chin and thought.

There are records in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that treating malaria. Using human feces as a priest and boiling them into soup with gypsum and other priests can cure the army's diseases.

But this makes the cost too huge, which goes against the original intention of saving money.

Sudden!

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up and he slapped the table and said: Yes, I know that a method can treat a serious disease without spending too much copper coins.

What method?

Wu Zetian and the other two looked at Chen Yuan together, with an excited look in their eyes.

"it!"

Chen Yuan pointed his big hand at Li Xian, and said in horror.

"What do you want to do?"

Wu Zetian's mouth twitched, and his face looked weird: "You didn't ask Wu to cut off the dog's son and treat Dajun, right?"

As soon as these words were said, Li Xian's face turned green. If his eyes could kill people, he would have pressed Chen Yuan to the ground fork ten thousand times.

Damn it, I was thinking about something bad, but I just started to attack him.

Seeing that everyone misunderstood me, Chen Yuan laughed, "You are thinking too much. I am talking about the grass that Brother Li has on him."

"The grass on my body?" Li Xian was stunned and hurriedly looked at his waist, where there was a green grass with yellow flowers hanging.

"That's right, it's the wormwood that smokes mosquitoes. It is both cheap and has a strange medicinal property. If used properly, it can even kill malaria."

"Let me, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty no longer have any harm to any evil!"

The generous speeches of the words were loud and loud, and Wu Zetian was shocked and never came to his senses for a long time.

At this moment, he seemed to see the figure of Emperor Gaozong when he was young in Shen Yuan.

The same concern for the country and the people, the same confidence in the heroic spirit!

Shangguan Wan'er covered her little mouth and looked at Chen Yuan with a shocked look. She didn't expect that the latter would have a manly side.

It's incredible.

Among the three, only Li Xian was the most proud. When he first entered Qingyuan County, he saw a large number of yellow flowers planted on the roadside.

I couldn't help it for a moment and wanted to pick a few flowers for Wan'er to express my feelings, but I didn't expect it to make a great contribution.

a long time.

Wu Zetian came to his senses and looked at Chen Yuan happily.

"The grass on the roadside has existed for hundreds of years. How many masters of Qihuang do not know how effective it is, but are now discovered by Lord Shen."

"I think it must be a secret method passed down from ancestors, right?"

"this...."

Chen Yuan didn't know how to answer, but in fact, Artemisia sauerkarta can produce artemisinin, he also knew from other places.

Rather than saying it is a secret method passed down by ancestors, it is better to say that it was developed by the ancestors.

He is just a user.

Moreover, artemisinin is too valuable, and once it comes out, it will inevitably cause storms and attract the attention of all forces.

At that time, you will have no choice but to be lucky or bad.

But if you choose to stand by, thousands of people and the soldiers of the three armies will lose their lives.

Will he still be a county magistrate at that time?

Chen Yuan hesitated...

I don't know how long it took, Chen Yuan raised his head and saw the three of them looking at him with a slight look on his eyes.

"Young Master Wu was joking. I don't have any secret techniques of ancestral history. Come on, I will take you to see the appearance of our county."

"Mr. Shen, didn't you say that wormwood can cure diseases?" Li Xian shook the green grass in his hand, "You talk about how to cure diseases."

"There is no cure for diseases. I just talk casually. I can't take it seriously. If it's okay, let's go out for a walk."

Chen Yuan said casually, but his heart was heavy, as if a big stone was pressing against him, and he couldn't breathe.

This Wu Di is really meddling in other people's business. Since you are doing business, you will be honest and make money. There is nothing to do with the soldiers suffering from malaria. Why are you doing?

Doesn’t this affect your mood?

I am a seventh-rank magistrate. In order to develop Qingyuan County, I even ate two sacks of bark. I have to save my life and marry a wife, right?

Wu Zetian took a deep look at Chen Yuan, nodded with complicated eyes, and did not continue to ask about the matter of the Yellow Flower Artemisia.

Everyone will think about themselves, and she can understand.

Leaving Taihe Tower, the group came to Qingyuan Street. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Chenyuan smiled slightly.

"The pedestrian street in front is a famous wholesale street in Qingyuan County. It contains various small commodities. What does Mr. Wu need to buy some goods back."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian put away his thoughts and said curiously: Wu is a little confused. Since Lord Shen has so many business sources, why don’t he keep it for himself?

Instead, they were granted it to many merchants?

"It's nothing strange. Although I, Qingyuan County, have many sources of goods, but my manpower is limited after all, and it is impossible to store goods in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"So I thought of a method of selling on behalf of others."

“Sales?”

"That's right, I will wholesale the goods to you and sell them."

"In this way, Qingyuan County will attract more and more businessmen to come here to buy and sell things, and finally start various workshops."

"Then it increases the tax and silver income in Qingyuan County."
