Mrs. Yao said: "I was going to grab some medicine for clearing the lungs and relieving cough, but the people in the drugstore told me that common Chinese medicines such as mulberry leaf, forsythia, honeysuckle, and isatis are out of stock. They have been taking them for a few days. I ran to a few drug stores and asked if they were out of stock. This is the case. I think this is a bit weird. You have to go back and tell the princess to let someone investigate what's going on."
"These medicines are so common, why can't they be bought? I haven't heard from the doctor of the Huimin Department."
Mrs. Yao coughed a few times, her face turned red from coughing, and it took a long time to relieve herself, saying: "The Huimin Administration is run by the court and has its own supply channels, but the purchase price will definitely be too expensive. It is impossible to buy these medicines. Now it is the turn of spring and summer, and plague is prone to occur. If these medicines are lacking, it will be terrible."
A Sidao: "Okay, I'll go back and tell Sister Yuan immediately, let her find someone to investigate, you quickly sit down and have some porridge, I will give you two dishes."
"I will eat, you go back first." Mrs. Yao said.
Ah Si said: "Okay, I'm leaving."
She walked out, Mitian had placed her broomstick and stood under the corridor, and Ah Si waved her hand, "Then please watch Madam for a while."
"Yeah!" Ruitian replied lightly.
Ah Si felt that talking to him was a little strenuous, so he stopped talking and went back to the house.
Back to the Chu Palace, but did not see Yuan Qingling, he asked Man'er, Man'er said: "After you just went out, Prince An's mansion sent someone to invite, saying that Princess An's child suddenly vomited milk and vomited very badly. Tell the princess to go."
Ah Si was startled, "Then why don't you follow? How dangerous it is to go to Prince An's Mansion."
"Princess Huai just came, they went together, so I don't want me to follow." Man'er said.
Four said: "That's okay. The princess pregnant can protect Sister Yuan. I went to take a shower and change clothes. I just cooked at Mrs. Yao's side. The smell of oily smoke all over my body."
Man'er snickered, "Now you are more and more like a good wife and mother."
When Ah Si was about to beat her, Man'er ran away, and the two were frolicking and rushing, really unhappy.
When Yuan Qingling came back, it was already night. She and Yu Wenhao walked in the door back and forth. The couple didn't say a few words, and Ah Si came and talked about what Mrs. Yao had discovered today.
Yuan Qingling was shocked, "Out of stock? Are there any herbal medicines out of stock?"
Yu Wenhao said: "It's not surprising that rare medicinal materials are out of stock, but forsythia mulberry leaves are never missing."
"Does the Huimin Administration have any discounts?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"I have been busy for the past two days, and I have shown the emperor's uncle. He may not tell me the trivial matter, but only discuss the major matter with me. He probably thinks that the shortage of herbal medicines is not important, so he didn't tell me."
Yuan Qingling is a doctor. The lack of some basic medicine in the market still brings her a great sense of crisis. Especially now that she has just entered early summer, sooner or later, there will be spring cold. This is prone to flu. I remember that at about this time in previous years, it was all colds. All around.
She said: "You will send someone to check tomorrow and see which medicines are missing? Why are they missing?"
"I'll ask Xu Yi to go to the Huimin Office to ask." As soon as Yu Wenhao finished speaking, Ah Si turned and went out, "I'll call him."
Xu Yi went to the Huimin Office overnight, found an official of the Huimin Office, and asked about the shortage of medicinal materials.
The Huimin Department did not make a discount either, saying: "I heard about the lack of goods in the private sector two days ago. The Huimin Department also called for purchase today. We still have some goods from the Huimin Department. We will not be affected. It’s big, because people who specialize in medicine for the Huimin Administration rarely sell it to the outside world, and they still have a supply."
"Then you ask the merchant to see what is going on." Xu said.
"General Xu, don't worry, he will check it out by himself tomorrow," the main court of the Huimin Office said.
Xu Yi asked about the inventory of the Huimin Administration. The main hospital said: "This inventory is not large, because the Huimin Administration has to see a large number of patients every day. Oh, we don’t have so many places."
"If you can get the goods, you'd better stock up a little more, maybe someone is making trouble here." Xu said.
The main courtyard was startled, "Take a ghost? Who is a ghost? The court has a strict decree, and the stockpiling of medicinal materials will affect the people's medication."
"It's better to be careful. I'm afraid it's not a profiteer, but someone with ulterior motives." Xu Yi is now also a lot smarter and knows how to draw inferences about many things, especially this herb is choking the lifeline of this spring and summer, if it is an outbreak of typhoid fever Wind chill or something, that's troublesome.
Knowing that the situation is unclear, the main court immediately took it seriously and promised: "General Xu, don’t worry, the next officials will investigate this matter clearly, and tomorrow will also stock up some medicinal materials, at least it can be guaranteed that the royal official’s medicinal herbs are sufficient. ."
Xu Yi always felt wrong when he heard this, but with a simple mind, he couldn't make a mistake for a while, so he got up and left.
In the evening of the next day, the lord of the main courtyard went to the palace of Chu Wang to return to life.
Because it was about medicinal herbs, Yu Wenhao also asked Yuan Qingling to enter the study to listen to the report.
The main hospital said: "Today, the Weichen took people to check and found that all the medicine shops in Beijing are the same. They lacked a lot of medicines. After asking the medicine dealers, I learned that someone bought a lot of medicines a while ago. The price was 20% higher than the normal price, so the drug dealers sold the medicine to this person. This person is also very strange. No medicines such as the treatment of wounds and nurses are required. As long as the medicine for the treatment of wind, cold, typhoid and cough is houttuynia cordata There is no way to get medicinal materials such as, patchouli, rhubarb, rhodiola, menthol, licorice isatis root, etc., and the business in the drugstore has also plummeted."
"Can you make a list of the missing medicines?" Yuan Qingling asked.
The main court hurriedly delivered the pamphlet, "If you return to the princess, it's already listed here."
Yuan Qingling took a look at the medicine book. There were dozens of missing medicinal materials. She was not familiar with Chinese medicine, but when she was in the pharmaceutical factory research institute, she also studied Chinese medicine preparations. knew.
Almost all of these medicines are used to treat upper respiratory tract infections, reduce fever, and clear the lungs. In other words, if the flu breaks out, myrrh is available on the market.
She glanced at Yu Wenhao, "This medicine will not be lacking for no reason. It must be investigated carefully, and it must be soon."
Yu Wenhao nodded and said to the main courtyard: "If the supply of the Huimin Department is sufficient, a large batch of goods can be advanced and how much can be purchased. If the stock cannot be stored, it will be diverted to the major drug stores and given to them at the purchase price. Exactly."
"Yes!" The main court retired after taking the order.
Yu Wenhao told Xu Yi to come in again, "Go and check, who is the person who bought the drugs in large hands, where they live, and what is the use of so many drugs."
Xu Yi was ordered to leave.
Yuan Qingling was a little worried, frowned and looked at Yu Wenhao, "Fifth, this matter must be handled carefully."
"Don't worry, if it doesn't work, you should adjust the medicine from various places and enter Beijing first." Yu Wenhao calmed down.
