Chapter 487 face
In Luoyang City, Qin Lang has no mansion.
He temporarily lives in the Henan Prefecture Office in Luoyang City. When he entered the prefecture office, he greeted the officials. Qin Lang went to take a shower. He ran all the way and took a hot bath. However, before the shower was finished, seven or eight waves of guests had already come to see him.
Although the seedlings have begun to be distributed and inoculated on a large scale, now seven days later, the effect has also emerged, with a mortality rate of less than one hundred. However, it is said that the mortality rate of more than three refined seedlings is less than one, and there is almost no risk. Therefore, which aristocratic officials do not want to ripen seedlings?
But the problem is that it takes time to wait for the cooked seedlings and the refining time is long. The emperor just issued an order saying that it would be given according to the official rank, and the three dukes and the prime minister's family first gave two seedlings, and the third rank or above official gave one seedling.
Everyone has to line up.
But the problem is that there are many officials and honorary relatives in Luoyang now. Which family do you think has only one child? Who doesn’t have many children? In addition to their own children, the brothers and nephews also have many children.
The richer the family, the more children it is.
While wiping his wet hair, Qin Lang looked at the famous thorns sent by Zhang Chao, all of whom were high-ranking officials and nobles.
Nowadays, mature seedlings are the most important resource, and even the prime ministers and nobles have to grab them. Qin Lang couldn't help but feel a little headache.
There are too many monks and too little porridge. Although there is an emperor's will, it is obvious that some people still want to go to the lineup and use their privileges to gain some normal share. This is actually not surprising.
Resource shortages will lead to using power for personal gain, which is inevitable.
Even if Qin Lang doesn't want to exchange this for personal gain for money, the problem is that in society of human relationships, some human relationships are difficult to refuse.
The left servant Fang Xuanling, the minister Yang Shidao, the secretary of the central minister Wen Yanbo, the censor Xiao Yu, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites Chen Shuda were all prime ministers. Even the minister of the Shangshu, the right chief of the counselor, and the secretary of the secretary Wei Zheng, who had always been noble and arrogant, also sent famous posts, and wanted to find two indicators for mature seedlings.
Who is calm when it comes to the lives of children and grandchildren?
The epidemic is so serious now that once it is infected, it will have a mortality rate of 25%. Once vaccinated, there is no need to worry anymore. Even if it is blocked and isolated, it is not perfect, and it is more reassuring after vaccination.
Zhang Chao came to ask for instructions again, saying that the housekeeper was visiting him outside.
Qin Lang had no choice but to say to the adopted son who was taken over by Lao Tieqin, "Please ask for a husband in the room."
Lao Fang is now the most popular person in front of the emperor. Du Du, who was the one who made a decision, was gone, but Fang is more valued. Although the court now implements a system of general ministers and the political affairs in the Political Affairs Hall is a rotating position, Zuo Pushe is actually the leader of the prime minister. Lao Fang has more say in the emperor and is more trusted by the emperor.
After all, the prime minister's power comes from the emperor.
When the old house came in and met, he asked Hou Qinlang for his hard work on the road.
For the sake of his son and for the family, the old house didn't care about the fact that the prime minister had a taboo when meeting in private. After a few words, he said that there were many children in the family and the epidemic is serious now. I hope Qin Lang finds a way to get some more mature seedlings for him, and said that this favor must be remembered.
"Mr. Fang, our Fang and Qin families are neighbors from Licheng County, Qizhou for hundreds of years. Mr. Fang has always taken good care of me." Qin Lang first said that our two families have a good relationship, but the topic has changed. "But now, the mature seedlings are all supplied in Chang'an, but the mature seedlings are difficult to produce, the cycle is long, and the supply is limited. Your Majesty also issued an order to queue up."
"Think about a solution!" Lao Fang is a versatile person and is usually very low-key, but after all, as the emperor's confidant for many years, he is still very influential in the court.
He couldn't ignore his face, but the problem was that if he spoke from here, it would be difficult for others to face it in the future.
"Mr. Fang, there is really no way to refine the seedlings in three ways. I have already handed over to Your Majesty, and I have all counted them. But we are fellow villagers after all, and Fang has always taken care of me..."
Qin Lang proposed a solution: The third-turn is gone, so there is no need for the second-turn. Although the second-turn is not 10,000 mortality rate, one-thousandth is OK.
It is much better than the Shimiao used now.
In fact, only these noble officials are willing to do so. The seedlings can be opened and given priority to supply them, but they were worried about the effect before, so they didn't take it in the first few batches, waiting to see the effect before talking about it. After the effect was achieved, they wanted to use better cooked seedlings.
The current mature seedlings are better for three refining, but there are better for four refining and five refining, but the cycle is longer and the quantity is smaller. Now there are only a very small number. Qin Lang used them for experiments and used them first for his own family, Changsun Wuji's family, Li Jing's family, Wang Gui's family, and the royal family.
In the name of experiment, do convenient things.
This is all tacit matter for everyone.
But there are no more, and now there are a few more, which are left for the royal family. After all, the Li family is very capable of giving birth, and Li Yuan and Li Shimin have dozens of children.
The old house has already obtained two branches and three seedlings, but I want more.
Qin Lang couldn't give it to him, at most he gave it to the second refining seedlings. And that's it, there is still a saying.
The third refining of seedlings was given by the emperor and was free, but the second refining of seedlings had to be bought at a high price. Of course, the money was not included in Qin Lang's pocket, but as the fund for the development of vaccinia. After all, the refining of vaccinia is also very expensive.
Fang Xuanling didn't expect this result.
Smile.
Zhang Chao came to report again, saying that Yang Xiang had arrived.
Seeing this, the old house said decisively, "I want the second seedling. Sanlang sent someone to help me get the full amount of my family first. As for the cost, it is not a problem. I will charge as much as I want. I will ask the housekeeper to pay."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang, understand."
There were no old houses left, so I said a few words and left.
Next, Yang Shidao and many other senior officials came to visit, and Qin Lang was polite. There were no additional three seedlings for the time being. However, if you are willing to accept the cooked seedlings of two and one, you can try to find a way to arrange them.
Everyone can understand this. As for the cost of this seedling, the price may be not low, so everyone doesn't care.
Who is short of that little money?
Wei Zheng was not embarrassed to ask for medicine. Her wife Pei brought her eldest son. Qin Lang was not willing to see her. After all, Pei was a woman, but Pei insisted, so he had to meet in the front hall. After some conversation, Pei was also a readily woman. Following Qin Lang's advice, he bought some two-refined ones and some more ones.
I didn't dislike the fact that the first refinement was poor. After all, although the first refinement was not as good as the second refinement, it was much stronger than the ordinary Shimiao. Although it was less than one thousandth of the failure mortality rate, it could still reach one hundredth of a few percent.
However, Pei had no money. Although Wei Zheng had a good official career in the past two years, he had been a prime minister in the Zhengshi Hall for several years, and had several positions and had promoted his titles. However, there was no real profit for the empty title. Old Wei spent a lot of money on his son and Wang's marriage. However, Pei was also very particular and did not say he was owed anything or something. He directly got a box of Old Wei's calligraphy and painting works.
The writing is pretty good, and Pei didn't say how much the valuation was. He gave it to Qin Lang, and just exchanged the seedlings that the Wei family wanted.
Qin Lang agreed with a smile.
After seeing off Pei, Hou Junji rode a horse.
This guy is now re-appointed as Minister of War, and has also been promoted to the title of participating in the government affairs. He has also joined the Political Affairs Hall and become Prime Minister, so he has become crazy after all.
This guy also has a 1,100 real family title, and he thinks that the Xuanwu Gate Incident was the first to be the best.
Qin Lang had no good feelings for this guy. When Lao Hou was the Minister of War for the first time, he even wanted to step on Qin Lang and use this to show his power to step on the Qin family in the Ministry of War and the military to establish his own prestige.
Unfortunately, Qin Langyin was yin several times, so he had to beg for mercy in awkward manner.
In the past two years, everyone has never violated the rivers. Qin Lang knew that he was Li Shimin's trusted confidant thug, and he did not take the initiative to provoke this guy.
As soon as they met, Hou Junji threw a box of gold over and said he wanted some mature seedlings.
Qin Lang was like entertaining others and suggested that he could get some two seedlings for him and some three seedlings for him. As a result, this guy was extremely dissatisfied and thought that Qin Lang would not give him face.
"Sanlang, we are the same palace and the same dynasty, and we are both prime ministers. Are we the only few seedlings not given?"
Qin Lang was dissatisfied and smiled, "It's not that I won't give it, but now there is really no. I have to find a way to mobilize these two and one seedlings. If the Hou Xiang is unwilling to wait, then the time seedlings can be used. There is almost no need to wait in line now, and there is no need to pay extra money. Just register and receive acne directly."
Hou Junji shook his head.
"I heard that Saburo uses the best five-refined seedlings for his children!"
Qin Lang smiled.
“It’s true.”
"Then please ask Sanlang to get some three-refined seedlings for me, Old Hou. I don't want to make four-refined five-refined ones, but it won't work if I make three-refined ones."
Qin Lang didn't want to say anything more about such a person.
"It's getting late, I'm a little sleepy. Please come back first."
"Sanlang won't give me Lao Hou a face?"
"I can ask for instructions from the Prime Minister of Hou and His Majesty tomorrow to see if I can draw a batch of three-refined seedlings first to give priority to the Prime Minister of Hou."
As soon as these words came out, Hou Junji's expression was not good-looking.
If it really makes a fuss when the emperor is in trouble, it won’t look good.
Hou Junji's face turned pale.
Since becoming the prime minister, he thought he was also the top tycoon in the court, but who expected that Qin Lang would not even buy this little face.
Qin Lang picked up the teacup and said, "Zhang Chao, see off the guests."
Hou Jun gathered his energy to smash the table. He endured it for a long time before he could endure it. He got up, swayed his sleeves, and walked out with a long hum.
It's a great shame.
He would not believe that what Qin Lang said about Fang Xuanling and Yang Shidao and other prime ministers had to refine two seedlings. In his opinion, as the prime minister, what happened to Qin Lang to refine some three seedlings? This seedling is not Qin Lang's own, it is owned by the court.
When Hou Junji left, Zhang Chao said to Qin Lang, "Sanlang, this person with the surname Hou is now very powerful. Sanlang has completely offended him like this."
"He doesn't want his face, what can I do? Even if the Hou is the prime minister, I'm the prime minister." Hou Junji didn't give Qin Lang face at all, so Qin Lang naturally didn't bother to take care of his face.
After taking the paper and pen, Qin Lang immediately wrote a secret memorial to what had just happened and sent someone to present it to the palace. Qin Lang explained the unreasonableness of the Lao Hou and the prime ministers and ministers who went to the back door.
Doing this will prevent the evil people from complaining first.
