Zhou Lijun and Xiang Mingxue: ...how come they haven't encountered a den of horse thieves
No, shouldn't encountering a horse thief's den mean being robbed
Man Bao and Bai Shanzheng introduced the results of their vaccination to Yang Heshu bit by bit.
Looking at these data, Yang Heshu couldn't help feeling emotionally ups and downs, "How long will it take for the people to implement it?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "I have to go back and discuss with Xiao Yuanzheng and the others, but we should try a few more times and make sure there are no other bad effects before implementing it."
Yang Heshu also suppressed his excitement, nodded slightly, and said to her: "If it is confirmed that the success rate is so high and there is no bad influence, Xiazhou is willing to be the first state capital to implement it."
Man Bao was stunned and asked, "Can the common people accept it?"
Yang Heshu: "Xiazhou has a more suitable public opinion than other prefectures. Firstly, Xiazhou has only experienced smallpox, and the memory of this is especially fresh, so it is easy to persuade; secondly, your Imperial Medical Office has a good reputation in Xiazhou. .”
He smiled and said: "You don't know, Xiazhou privately enshrines you, Imperial Physician Lu, and Imperial Physician Zheng's longevity tablets a lot."
Man Bao said "ah", "I still have the longevity tablet?"
"Of course," Yang Heshu said with a smile, "As far as I know, you have the most."
Man Bao cheered up, "It must be because I am the most amiable."
Yang Heshu nodded with a smile. Not only is she the most amiable, but also the most patients survived by her hands. Adding the two together, naturally the most people enshrine her.
Man Bao wanted to take a look. Yang Heshu said when they saw it, "It's not easy to break into other people's homes. If you want to see it, then go to the Taoist temples on the mountain to have a look. There are also many people who not only worship in their own homes. Longevity tablets are also offered in temples and Taoist temples, in order to pray for your safety and longevity."
Man Bao got excited and looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan said: "Then go and have a look."
Yang Heshu also said: "Although I am in a hurry to go back to the capital, I think it is impossible for you to go back a year ago. Why don't you stay in Xiazhou for a few more days, firstly to sell the goods in your hands, and secondly, you can also take a break , Wait until the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth to set off again, walk faster on the road, and you should be able to return to the capital on the fourth and fifth day of the lunar new year. His Majesty saw that you were rushing back in the first month, and you could guess that you were on the road after a little thought. night."
It's quite pitiful when I think about it, maybe the breath in my chest will disappear.
Man Bao and Bai Shan felt that Yang Heshu, who was smiling gently at this time, was a bit dark, and they thought in unison, no wonder Tang Xuexiong always said that he was the one being bullied. They didn't believe it before, but now they believe it a little bit.
When the two of them were walking into the courtyard where they lived, they heard a commotion next door, so they couldn't help but walked over to have a look, and saw Bai Erlang and the others were showing Zhou Lijun what they brought back.
The two of them also stood aside and listened, and Xiang Mingxue saw them when he turned around, "Zhou... Auntie,"
He paused and called again, "Sister-in-law."
Then he nodded to Bai Shan.
Bai Shan also nodded in return.
Zhou Lijun turned his head and saw Man Bao, rushed up to hug her in surprise, looked at the things they brought back and said, "Sister-in-law, you have made a lot of money this trip."
Man Bao said reservedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's so-so."
She said to Zhou Lijun: "I was just looking for you. We can't take all of these things back, so we only plan to bring some, and you will send the rest back to the capital. We will find a way to do it at that time."
Zhou Lijun was puzzled, "Aren't you accompanied by soldiers? Wouldn't it be safer to escort them?"
There are so many people, and there are government officials, as long as you are not blind along the way, you dare not attack them, right
Man Bao sighed: "What matters to us now is not the bandits on the road, but the censor and His Majesty in the capital. Anyway, we will return to Beijing in two days, and we can take a few cars of luggage at most. It will be handed over to you."
She asked curiously, "Aren't you going home for the New Year?"
Zhou Lijun smiled and said: "Because I don't know when my sister will come back, so I wait here specially for my sister."
Zhou Lijun thought for a while and said: "If my sister entrusts us with these things, we will also go on the road with you, and we will enter the city one day behind you at most."
Bai Shan immediately said: "It's okay to enter the city on the same day. You are a caravan and we are a mission. You can go back and forth together, just enter the city at a distance."
He said: "After you go back, put your things in the yard of my house in Erliu Lane for now, and then move them back home little by little."
He turned his head and said to Man Bao: "You don't have to be very careful. If there is a censor who even watches the courtyard under my name, then it's useless for us to avoid it."
Because their matter is not big, officials bring a little more souvenirs when they go on official business. This is a very common thing when the Sacred Heart is normal, and it may be a proud thing to get the Sacred Heart. When you lose your Sacred Heart, everything you do is wrong.
Bai Shan didn't think they had lost the Sacred Heart, at most the emperor was a little angry because they were delayed on the road.
Man Bao thought for a while, and felt that what he said was reasonable, so he decided that Zhou Lijun would go with them, and entrusted them to escort most of the luggage back.
Man Bao: "By the way, you can introduce me to some merchants who are capable of buying spices and gems from the Western Regions."
Xiang Mingxue was surprised, "Sister-in-law wants to sell these things in Xiazhou?"
Then what are they escorting
Zhou Lijun asked with bright eyes, "Sister-in-law, did you bring other merchants from the Western Regions with you this time? They want to sell the goods in Xiazhou?"
Man Bao said: "It's not a businessman, it's some... guards who escorted us to Xizhou. They also brought some spices and gems when they came back. The price from Shazhou is a bit low, so they followed us to Xiazhou .”
Zhou Lijun was a little disappointed when he heard it, "So this is a one-shot deal?"
Man Bao asked curiously, "Do you want to talk to merchants from the Western Regions? Does our family have so much money to mix with spices and gems business?"
Zhou Lijun smiled and said: "Forget about the gem business, but spices can be made, and I want to sell them the moisturizing cream we made at home. There are also some medicinal materials. I heard that the environment in the Western Regions and ours It's different, the medicinal materials we have here should have a lot of them there."
"But raw medicinal materials are cheap after all, so I want to sell off-the-shelf medicines," Zhou Lijun said, "In addition to ointments for facial cleansing, skin whitening and acne removal, there is also the ointment for removing scars that my aunt taught us to make. If I can make some more to prevent cold Over-the-counter medicines like fever would be even better."
Man Bao opened his mouth wide, "You want to compete with Ji Shitang for business."
Zhou Lijun said: "It's not about grabbing business, I still get medicines like pills from Jishitang."
She didn't want to make medicine by herself. Now the family is very busy making ointments, and the production of pills is more careful, and the cost is higher. Not to mention her, even the fifth aunt may not be able to make it according to the prescription.
