The Huimin Department did not give any discounts, saying: "My official heard about the shortage of goods in the private sector two days ago. The Huimin Department also called for restocking today. The Huimin Department still has some goods, so we are not affected.
Big, because the people who specialize in medicines for the Huimin Administration almost don’t sell them to the outside world, but they still have a supply of goods.”
"Then you go ask the merchant and find out what's going on." Xu said.
"Don't worry, General Xu. I will go check it out in person tomorrow," said the head of the Huimin Department.
Xu Yi asked again about the inventory of the Huimin Department, and the main hospital said: "The inventory is not much, because the Huimin Department receives a large number of patients every day, and has to restock every few days, so it cannot stock that much."
That’s a lot, we don’t have that much space.”
"If you can get the goods, you'd better stock up on more. I guess there's someone causing trouble here." Xu Yiyi said.
The main courtyard was startled, "Troublemaker? Who is causing trouble? The imperial court has strict decrees, and medicinal materials cannot be hoarded to affect the use of medicine by the common people."
"It's better to be careful, I'm afraid it's not a profiteer, but someone with ulterior motives." Xu Yi is much smarter now, and knows how to draw inferences about many things, especially this herb that strangles the lifeline at the turn of spring and summer. If typhoid fever breaks out
If it's windy or cold, that'll be troublesome.
Knowing that the current situation was unclear, the main hospital immediately paid attention to it and promised: "General Xu, don't worry, this matter will be investigated clearly by the subordinates, and some medicinal materials will be stocked tomorrow. At least, it can be guaranteed that the royal family has sufficient medicinal herbs.
."
After Xu Yi heard this, he always felt something was wrong, but he was so simple-minded that he couldn't make any mistakes for a while, so he got up and left.
In the evening of the next day, the master of the main courtyard went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to resume his life.
Because it was about medicinal herbs, Yu Wenhao also asked Yuan Qingling to go into the study to listen to the report.
The principal said: "Wei Chen took someone to check today and found that all the drug stores in Beijing were the same, lacking a lot of medicine. After asking the drug dealer, I found out that someone had bought a lot of medicine a while ago. This person
The price offered was 20% higher than the normal price, so the drug dealers sold the medicine to this person. This person was also very strange. He did not want any medicine for treating injuries and recuperation. He only wanted medicine for treating cold, typhoid and cough, Houttuynia cordata.
, patchouli, rhubarb, rhodiola, menthol, licorice, isatis root and other medicinal materials, it is no longer possible to obtain them, and the business in the drug store has also plummeted. "
"Have you made a list of the missing medicines?" Yuan Qingling asked.
The main courtyard hurriedly presented the book, "If you return to the Crown Princess, you have already listed her here."
Yuan Qingling took a look at the medicine book and saw that there were dozens of missing medicinal materials. She was not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, but she had studied traditional Chinese medicine preparations when she was in the pharmaceutical research institute.
Got it.
Almost all of these medicines are used to treat upper respiratory tract infections, reduce fever, relieve the lungs and clear away heat. In other words, if there is an outbreak of influenza, there is no medicine on the market that can be used.
She glanced at Yu Wenhao and said, "This medicine will not be missing for no reason. It must be strictly investigated and it must be done quickly."
Yu Wenhao nodded and said to the main hospital: "If the supply here at the Huimin Administration is sufficient, we will bring in a large batch of goods, as much as we can. If we can't stock up, we will distribute it to major drug stores and give them to them at the purchase price."
that is."
"Yes!" The main court accepted the order and then resigned.
Yu Wenhao then called Xu Yi in, "Go and find out who this big-money buyer is, where he lives, and what he wants so many medicines for."
Xu Yi was ordered to leave.
Yuan Qingling was a little worried and frowned at Yu Wenhao, "Lao Wu, this matter must be handled with caution."
"Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I'll prepare the medicine from various places and bring it to Beijing first." Yu Wenhao reassured.
