"Father! Just let the slave family go, the slave family really can't stand it..."

Luo Tan cried and crawled out from the gauze tent, his hair disheveled and dripping with sweat, but he was immediately grabbed by his hair by a big hand, dragged back abruptly, and cried out loudly.

It's been half a month now...

Zhao Guanren was not refining qi or wandering around all day long, promoting epidemic prevention work, sneaking a meeting with Tan Qingning, and tossing Luo Tan in various ways when he returned home, while Bai Yiwei was holding back some big moves, and withdrew his followers Don't bother him either.

"Yu Niang! Not good..."

The two cooks rushed into the mansion, and Yuniang was sitting in the gazebo sulking, she was weak when she was young, and this period would either not come for three or two months, or it would be a constant dripping, little half It took a month to be completely clean.

"What's the matter? Why are you panicking..."

Yu Niang was absent-mindedly eating melon seeds, and a cook said urgently: "The price of salt has skyrocketed a few days ago, and now I can't buy any salt at all. I heard that all the salt in Ningzhou has been robbed, and even the county magistrate's house has none." Salt, how can I cook without salt?"

"ah?"

Yu Niang asked in surprise: "Why grab the salt, this salt can't be eaten as food?"

"Oh~ Young Master bought a batch of salt to cure poison, and rumors started spreading that salt can cure poison..."

The cook clapped her legs and said, "Later, a few livestock that had turned into corpses came out, and corpses crawled out of the grave, and everyone started desperately grabbing salt. Masks and gloves were no longer available. Han who sells masks The shop is full of people, and they can't even order goods with cash!"

Yu Niang wondered: "You can make the mask yourself, what should you buy

"Han Kee's is not an ordinary mask, but a medical-grade anti-epidemic mask..."

The cook said: "The material is not ordinary cotton cloth, there is some kind of activated carbon in it, the young master and the yamen wear the same kind, only Han Ji's family can make it, and there is also a kind of disinfectant alcohol, use that to wash the wound suppuration, hot people I was trembling, but it was much stronger than Jinchuang Yao!"

"Isn't Han Ji just Han Dongsheng..."

Yuniang said thoughtfully: "Shopkeeper Han sent a large box of masks a while ago, and the young master distributed them all in the Yamen. Could it be that the young master is doing it for him... By the way, publicity!"

"What are you doing, Yan..."

Song Chizhu stood in the main room and stomped his feet vigorously. The county seat and the chief secretary who had just taken office were also there, as well as a salt official from Ningzhou Prefecture.

"grown ups!"

Several salt merchants, Zhao Feng, had a bitter face, and spread their hands: "It's really not that we are waiting to drive up the price of salt. Some people are hoarding salt, and ordinary people are robbing salt. Let alone Ningzhou Prefecture, the supply on both sides of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River is almost out of supply. Eight hundred miles hastened, and a large amount of salt was forced to go to Beijing!"

"..."

Song Chizhu was dumbfounded and said, "Lian, even Beijing is robbing salt, why are they robbing salt?"

"Prevent corpse plague, Miyagi is surrounded by fine salt, if it is not for the salt grabbing in Beijing, the situation will not be so serious..."

One person mourned: "I heard from the merchants of Xiaoji Kingdom that corpses also appeared at their border. They cut down one of our poisoned caravans. Now they are also strictly investigating the plague of corpses. They also learn from us to make masks and gloves. It is said that the emperor is angry. The one who dropped the teacup will severely punish the person who leaked the secret!"

"Gudu~"

The four adults swallowed and spit in unison.

"Come here!"

However, Song Chizhu has already mastered it, and shouted: "Go to Han's shop quickly, and send ten guards to guard day and night. The craftsmanship of the epidemic mask must not be leaked, and anyone who dares to leak the secret will have his head chopped off!"

"Alcohol! And disinfectant alcohol..."

The new county magistrate hastily reminded him, but a court official said: "My lords! Those who hoard salt are the worst.

This is the owner of Han Ji, who has almost sold out the inventory in Ningzhou, and he started hoarding salt half a month ago before us! "

"What about the salt? He's hoarding it and selling it..."

Song Chizhu spread his hands, and another court official said: "Han Dongsheng is not hoarding salt. The villain asked him yesterday. He said that he needs to use it for masks. There is fine salt in the activated carbon, but he refuses to sell it. He won't sell it even at a high price!"

"Confused! Can masks be more important than eating salt? Follow me to Han's shop..."

Song Chizhu picked up his official robe and ran out hurriedly. Han's shop has been replaced by shotguns. There are three branches in Guanglantai County. The main store is located in the center of the most prosperous county, next to Xie's sword shop. It's not far from the Yamen.

"Strictly investigate the merchants in Jiguo, and those who dare to carry Hanji masks will be executed..."

Song Chizhu started to drink angrily from a distance. The Han family shop had been surrounded for a long time. Several businessmen from the Kyrgyz country ran away after hearing the news, but when they got closer, they found that it was not the yamen servants who maintained the order, but the Jingmen. The black and white guards in the guard field.

"Huh? Why are the two adults here..."

Song Chizhu walked into the shop in astonishment, the inside of the shop was no longer allowed, but the two thousand households were sitting at the tea table, while Han Dongsheng stood opposite them with a helpless face.

"Master Song! Is your reaction too slow..."

Ouyang Qianhu said in a cold voice: "Xiao Jiguo has already imitated Hanji masks. You don't know how to protect Hanji workshop. We have seized six Jiguo spies in a row. If Hanji's craftsmanship is stolen by Ji thieves, I will see how you do it." Confess!"

"The two adults misunderstood. I ordered the protection of Han Ji this morning. All adults know..."

Song Chizhu stepped forward and said with a smile, "Master Han! From now on, I will send someone to protect you personally, but there is one more thing to discuss with you. I heard that you have a lot of official salt, so it is definitely not enough to make masks. , can you take it out and sell it?"

"I'll talk about the salt later..."

Chen Qianhu knocked on the table and said: "Han Ji! I can tell you that as long as you voluntarily donate the secret recipe of anti-epidemic masks and disinfectant alcohol to the court, the Ministry of Industry will definitely have your black hat. You have to think it through!"

"The villain understands!"

Han Dongsheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said: "But the villain's mask is, is it so valuable? The villain was inspired by Mr. Zhao Yunxuan, besides, it seems to be useless except for preventing corpse plague, right?"

"No! Epidemic prevention and epidemic prevention! Prevention is just a word of epidemic..."

Chen Qianhu waved his hands and said: "A few days ago, there was a plague in the same state, and people in a township almost died. The doctors you sent were wearing your masks and gloves, and followed the epidemic prevention regulations of our Ningzhou government. It's a miracle that one person was infected with the plague and stopped the spread of the epidemic!"

"Han Ji! Don't be humble..."

Ouyang Qianhu also smiled and said: "Flying pigeons sent letters to report this morning, and the court has already drafted a text, planning to copy our Ningzhou epidemic prevention regulations and distribute them to all states and counties throughout the territory. The Ministry of Industry will make it carefully, honoring the ancestors!"

"This is to take over Han Ji's business..."

Song Chizhu covered his mouth and muttered to the master, who also whispered: "It's amazing! It's not a big deal for Han Ji to surpass the Xie family, and he will be dismissed by the black hat of the Ministry of Industry. I don't blame Han Ji's face." It's so ugly, it's just destiny!"

"My lords! The villain is willing to enshrine the secret recipe to the emperor..."

Han Dongsheng clasped his hands and said: "However, the villain is not expected to be an official, and the whole family also counts on me for this little business to make a living, so the villain has other demands, and he also offered the secret recipe of white jade intermittent ointment and life-extending red pill, and worked for his whole life. All free improvements and upgrades

! "

"Um?"

The two Qianhus stood up at the same time, and asked almost in unison: "Han Ji, please be more careful, what are the Xuming Pills and the ointment, and what are their effects?"

"This is Xuming Hongwan..."

Han Dongsheng took out a small porcelain jar. When he opened it, there were two red candies, but they were made into the shape of a heart.

"The two adults should be very clear..."

Han Dongsheng held up the porcelain bottle and said: "Once the soldiers are injured on the battlefield, it is dangerous to lose too much blood, but as long as they take a life-extending red pill, they can hang their lives and increase their strength. Soothe the muscles and relieve fatigue!"

"It's so amazing? How much is two pieces of silver..."

The two thousand households curiously picked up the candy, and Song Chizhu and others rushed over.

"This is an ancient secret recipe that I accidentally discovered, and it has long been lost..."

Han Dongsheng said forcefully: "Although this medicine is rough, it takes a lot of energy. One pill costs five renminbi, and the larger quantity is more favorable. The two adults can taste it with confidence. It's okay to take one pill. It's appetizing and nourishing. Drinking water can also nourish the dantian!"

"This kind of panacea is only five qian, and it's not a problem for each soldier to send one..."

The two Qianhu looked at each other in surprise, put the candy lightly into their mouths, and after sucking for a while, Chen Qianhu nodded and said, "It's so sweet! It must be a tangerine peel, it smells like citrus. Delicious, eh? The blood is starting to surge!"

"Amazing! It's amazing..."

Ouyang Qianhu's face was full of excitement, in fact, his pretty face was anemic at first glance, eating a piece of candy would naturally raise his blood sugar, his head was no longer dizzy, and his feet were no longer soft.

"Master Han! Can you give us a taste too..."

Song Chizhuqian's saliva came out, and the other officials were also watching eagerly.

"I'm so sorry..."

Han Dongsheng said embarrassingly: "Although the cost of this life-extending red pill is cheap, it is not easy to make it. Besides, it is delicious and nourishing. Let the villain eat the rest by himself, but the villain can open another one tonight." Furnace, I will send it to you adults tomorrow morning!"

"What is that white jade intermittent ointment, show it quickly..."

Chen Qianhu couldn't wait any longer. In fact, it was just plaster plus gauze, and a little medicine powder was mixed in the plaster, but after Zhao Guanren's mouthful processing and Han Dongsheng's mouth, it immediately became a panacea.

"Masters of Qianhu, shopkeeper Han is from our county..."

Song Chizhu couldn't wait to get involved, but Chen Qianhu pushed him away, and said with a smile: "Master Han Dashun! You are really a blessing to my Dashun. If you have any needs, it doesn't matter, I will definitely do it." Eight hundred miles hastened, and I will present it to the court for you!"

"A villain only wants one thing, Dan Shu iron coupon..."

Han Dongsheng arched his hands and bowed deeply, but the faces of all the people present changed slightly. After a long time, this guy was trying to dig the foundation of Bian and Xie's family.

There is only one gold medal for avoiding death, and even the Xie family, the richest man in the county, never owned it. Getting it is equivalent to drawing the blood of Xie's family, and at the same time stomping on Bian's family to death. Lifeblood, everyone is sweating for the Bian family.

"Report!"

A white-clothed guard suddenly rushed in and shouted: "The imperial envoy and his party have arrived in Danfeng Town, and ordered Lantai County to line up at the city gate immediately, and not to go out of the city to meet them!"

"Why did you come early? Didn't you say there are still two or three days..."

Chen Qianhu looked at Ouyang in shock, and Ouyang Qianhu frowned and said: "It must be that the imperial envoy wants to investigate thoroughly, and he is worried that someone will cheat for personal gain, so he even kept it from me, but it just so happened that the shopkeeper Han followed me." Let's go together!"
