Chapter 869
On the eighth day of March, news came from Jiangdong that a plague of seasonal flu had broken out and a large amount of medicinal materials was needed.
Moreover, the Huimin Department can no longer accommodate so many patients. Doctors in private medical clinics seem to be united to drive up drug prices and even increase consultation fees. Ordinary people can't afford to see a doctor at all.
This Jiangdong is located in the north-south convection area, and the season will erupt almost every year. Therefore, the Tai Hospital has ordered a month ago to have the Jiangdong Huimin Department prepare a large amount of medicinal materials.
However, the general director of the Jiangdong Huimin Administration also reported that the price of medicinal materials has risen sharply since the beginning of the year.
Medicines are in short supply, and they can be obtained from nearby state capitals. However, it is strange to say that this year, the medicine market seems to have been deliberately disrupted by someone. Since the beginning of the year, whenever there are medicines that have a sense of healing time, there have been a large number of people in all parts of the country. Buy it away, so the state capitals don't have too many medicinal materials for treating flu.
Without medicine, a small sense of time can lead to a serious disease, and it will spread greatly. This is the first time since the establishment of the medical insurance that it has been severely tested.
The Huimin Department was forced by the victims, but those doctors are also clever women who can't make a living without rice, and there is no cure for the disease.
Murong Jie did not return to the mansion for two consecutive days, and has been discussing this matter urgently with the minister.
There is no doubt that this is a conspiracy.
Zian and a few little sisters were also talking about this.
"The market is closed during the Chinese New Year. As soon as the medicinal material market opened at the beginning of the year, some people bought a large amount of seasonal medicinal materials. It was clearly aimed at Jiangdong. Jiangdong has an outbreak of seasonal influenza almost every year. This is known to many people." Hu Huanxi said.
"Huanxi, didn't you also set foot in the medicinal material market? How many medicines do you have for treating flu?" Zian asked.
Hu Huanxi shook his head, "No, I have already considered the Jiangdong epidemic, so when I entered the market at the beginning of the year, I wanted to buy in large quantities. However, someone under the name of the Huimin Department swept up the goods. I guess it was for Jiangdong to stock up. , so there is no contest, which is really a mistake."
"Shipping in the name of the Huimin Department? So, it must be someone from the Huimin Department who responded internally?" Zi'an said.
"It's possible, otherwise, the wholesalers of medicinal materials in the market will see a large number of sweeps in the market, and it is impossible not to raise prices. Only when the imperial court intervenes, wholesalers will sell at normal prices." Hu Huanxi said in terms of market trends.
"No wonder that guy hasn't moved much." Zi'an sighed, "It's really hard to guard against."
"How could you be able to guard against it? He is the emperor. He has been in power for many years, and many confidantes have worked for him. The prince is busy with reforms. Who would have thought that he would use the lives of the people as a bargaining chip? It is really the same as that Chu Jing from Beimo. It’s no different, isn’t it true that the emperor will sacrifice his people to consolidate his throne and power?”
Zian and Hu Huanxi have been dating for so long, and she seldom heard Hu Huanxi talking about the government and the emperor. She has always been calm, but this time, she was really angry.
The shadow that Chu Jing brought to Zian is still there. Although the sense of time cannot be compared with the plague, if it is not treated and spreads, it will still cause many deaths.
"I really hope that the tragedy of Wolf's Tail Mountain won't happen again." Rou Yao shuddered.
"Huanxi, you are familiar with drug dealers, you go and ask, who has a large number of medicines to treat the epidemic."
Hu Huanxi said: "Okay, I'll let someone inquire about it."
She does have contacts in this area, but she does, and probably Suyuelou also has them, so she said to Lingli: "Lingli, you should also ask the people from Suyuelou to inquire about it."
"Okay, let's split things up." Ling Li said.
Zi'an said, "I'm sorry to bother you."
Hu Huanxi just stood up, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "I'm being more polite now, haven't I helped you before?"
"I have helped, I have helped, but I think I have helped you too little, and you have helped me too much." Zian apologized.
Hu Huanxi said: "With you, the princess, as my backer, who in the mall won't give me Hu Huanxi some face? Your help is invisible."
"Hey, I don't dare to take the credit, the princess is the one who backs you up." Zi'an laughed.
"All of them, all of them." Hu Huanxi smiled strongly.
Zhuang Zhuang also laughed, and then he became worried, "I hope this is the last trembling."
each dispersed.
Zian asked Dao Boss to enter the palace to inquire about the situation. The nanny had just prepared lunch when Dajin's bodyguard from Prince Li's mansion walked in quickly, "Princess, concubine, help me."
Seeing him panicking, Zian was also taken aback, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Our concubine is ill and has lost her appetite for several days in a row. The lord asked the princess to come and ask the concubine to save her life."
Zian rolled his eyes, "Are you tired of eating? If you don't have an appetite, you want to save your life. You scared me."
"That's what the lord said," Da Jin said sarcastically, "The lord was so nervous, Wangcai's daughter-in-law was not so nervous when she gave birth."
With a big belly, Zian ordered, "Xiao Sun, ask Wu Yanzu to take the medicine box and accompany me to Prince Li's Mansion."
"Okay." Xiao Sun hurriedly went.
Mammy was so distressed, she said: "The servant is heating up the food, waiting for you to come back to eat."
"I'll eat something casually in the palace, don't get too hot, you go and eat." Zi'an said.
"Let's warm it up, servant girl. I made your favorite bamboo shoots today." said the nanny.
Zi An couldn't resist her, so he had to say: "Okay, you're hot, I'll come back to eat."
Zian rushed out the door with Wu Yanzu.
Arriving at Prince Li's mansion, Prince Li was already waiting at the door, seeing Zian coming, he didn't say a word, only talking about Ah Man's "illness".
"Since three days ago, I have not thought about food and tea. I thought it was stagnant eating. I asked someone to grab a pair of Xiaoshi tea and drink it. It was better, but I couldn't eat much. The past three days are not as good as before. More than one meal."
Prince Li used to be rather rigid. Everyone knew that he loved Ah Man and was nervous about Ah Man, but he seldom showed it or said anything. It was the first time he was so nervous.
Zi'an comforted: "Don't worry, third brother, I'll go check the pulse first."
"Hurry up, she hasn't eaten for a few days, her hands and feet are weak, and she is out of breath when she walks." Prince Li said distressedly.
He led the way, and Zian led Wu Yanzu, who carried the medicine box on his back, to follow.
There was the sound of a dog barking in the distance, and Zian remembered being scared by Da Jin and hiding in a tree, so he couldn't help smiling, that was really a glorious time.
Ah Man was lying on the bed, looking really sick. Seeing Zian coming, he couldn't help but glanced at Prince Li complainingly, "Can't you just find a doctor to have a look? And ask her to come, the stomach is so Da, if there is a mistake on the road, it depends on how you explain it to Lao Qi."
"The king sent Da Jin to pick it up." Prince Li said confidently.
"That's not OK."
Zi'an hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm very bored in the mansion, the third brother asked me to come over, I happened to come to Prince Li's mansion to have a good autumn breeze and have a good meal."
"You don't need to worry about him from now on, I'm fine, who hasn't had a bad appetite yet?" Ah Man propped himself up, and was scolded by Prince Li, "Lying down, I haven't had a pulse yet, do you know that it's just a bad appetite? "
