Emperor Ming Yuan was naturally aware of the external affairs. Yuan Qingling was fighting with Huiping. He was a little unhappy in his heart. He felt that they were making a fuss and violating his will. It was not that he disagreed with the establishment of a medical department.
Just slow down.
However, she was just unhappy and didn't think she could defeat Princess Huiping. After all, Huiping controlled almost all the medicine in the capital.
He thought that after a while, Yuan Qingling's side would naturally weaken.
However, Princess Huiping came to the palace to complain, saying that the prince intervened in his capacity as a court and disrupted the medicinal materials market, causing her and many medical clinics to be unable to buy medicines.
After hearing this, Emperor Ming Yuan frowned. It would be inappropriate for the prince to do this.
The urgent matters now include the civil war in southern Xinjiang, floods in the Huaijiang River, and the invasion of the Northern Desert army. He actually dotes on his wife and accompanies her to make trouble in the medical hospital. Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He loses.
After appeasing Huiping, he ordered Yu Wenhao to come to the palace.
Without waiting for him to say anything, he was scolded and said that his actions were biased and disappointing.
Yu Wenhao was very aggrieved, "Father, what is disrupting the medicinal materials market?
I have no idea at all."
"If not you, who else?
Does your wife have this ability?"
Emperor Ming Yuan said angrily.
Yu Wenhao said: "In the medicinal materials market, everyone buys and sells freely, what's the problem?
This doesn’t require skill, as long as you have money. Didn’t the imperial aunt monopolize the entire market in the past?
Father, you didn’t say anything.”
"Healthy competition is okay, but vicious struggle that harms the interests of the people is absolutely unacceptable!"
Emperor Ming Yuan said angrily.
Yu Wenhao was startled, "Damaging the interests of the people?
Father, why has Lao Yuan harmed the interests of the people?
She opened a hospital and medical clinic and treated patients at extremely low prices."
Emperor Ming Yuan knocked on the table, really angry, "Just because she used extremely low prices, no patients came to other medical clinics, are they drinking the northwest wind?
They can no longer survive, and all the medical clinics are closed. Can she, Yuan Qingling, cure all the people in Beijing?
Also, the people are used to low-cost medical care. After you ran out of money, you were able to fight for a while, but have you ever thought about the consequences of these people making a fuss?"
Yu Wenhao said curiously: "Father, if Lao Yuan's medical treatment is cheap and patients can come to see the doctor, others will just follow suit, so why will it close its doors?
They study medicine and have no other career. If they don’t continue to open medical clinics to find a way out, why not open a rice shop?”
He took a step forward and continued: "Moreover, Lao Yuan's current price is still profitable. Medical clinics and hospitals will pay taxes to the court like other medical clinics. There will be no harm to the court. The people have cheap medicine to eat. How could this happen?
What's going on?"
“If you don’t make money, how will you get the money to pay taxes?
If you make money, what's the difference between it and Huiping?
How just to say it!"
Yu Wenhao couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Father, how come you don't make any money?
Even the price that Lao Yuan has set now is still profitable. Who is willing to pay for it with money?
Erchen is not a fool, and the Prince of Chu's palace does not have tens of millions of wealth to squander it like this. As for comparing Lao Yuan with Aunt Huang, Erchen disagrees. How can Aunt Huang make money?
She sucks human blood."
Yu Wenhao's statement made Emperor Ming Yuan uncomfortable. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you deliberately going against Huiping and doing things that are harmful to others and not beneficial to yourself?"
Yu Wenhao laughed, "Father, you are confused, but I am not confused!"
"Be bold!"
Emperor Ming Yuan gave a sharp shout.
Yu Wenhao knelt down obediently and said, "I know my crime!"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him and remembered that Concubine Hu told him a few days ago that she wanted to go out for a walk. Maybe he should pay a private visit incognito?
He knew that medical treatment was expensive, but he always believed that it was within a reasonable range. Huiping was a royal princess and would not go too far.
But he also knew that the Crown Princess was not the kind of person to be ambitious. She was afraid that she had no choice but to do this.
"go out!"
Emperor Ming Yuan glanced at him.
"okay!"
Yu Wenhao stood up, bowed and walked out. After leaving the royal study, he quickly returned to the mansion. In fact, he was not too clear about the whole thing. Disturbing the medicinal materials market was probably something that Lao Yuan would not be able to do.
He went straight to the hospital and asked Lao Yuan. After hearing the Fourth Master's ingenious idea, Yu Wenhao suddenly felt very happy, "Okay, it's great. The Fourth Master is not good at opening a medical clinic, but he is very good at doing business."
Yuan Qingling looked at him and said with a smile: "Father, did you lecture me?"
Yu Wenhao said nonchalantly: "Training is normal, it doesn't matter, but I guess he might come out to take a look and make a private visit to the medical clinic, because Aunt Huang has come to him, and he also realizes that some things may be deceived.
"
"He really needs to go out for a walk, otherwise he will never know how expensive it is for people to see a doctor."
Yuan Qing sighed.
Yu Wenhao hummed, "I will ask Eunuch Mu Ru to keep an eye on him. If he really wants to go out, Eunuch Mu Ru will vent his anger on me."
"What are you going to do?"
Yuan Qingling asked curiously.
"secret!"
Yu Wenhao pulled her aside and secretly kissed her cheek when no one was around, "Are you tired today?
Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?"
"It's okay, very good, full of energy!"
Yuan Qingling looked at his nervous expression and said, "It's strange. When I'm pregnant with this child, I always feel like I have endless energy every day and am tireless."
"I'm lying. I've seen you fall asleep so deeply at night several times. It's because you're tired."
"It's drowsiness, but that's only at night. Should I be energetic during the day?"
Yu Wenhao looked at her, and flowers gradually appeared in his eyes, "This reaction is different from before, could it be that it is really a blessing?"
Yuan Qingling was so angry that she hit him, "What little fortune?"
Let me warn you, even if you are a daughter, you cannot really call her Laifu, otherwise when she grows up, she will fight you tooth and nail."
Yu Wenhao didn't dare to anger her, so he coaxed: "Okay, this time, you can choose the baby's nickname, okay?"
Yuan Qingling turned her anger into a smile and pushed him, "Go back and run your errands quickly. I'm busy here."
Seeing that there were indeed many patients inside, Yu Wenhao said, "Okay, let's go back early tonight to drink soup."
"knew!"
She pushed him.
"Don't be too tired, Xiangwu needs to sleep."
He walked out a few steps and then turned back to warn.
Yuan Qingling ignored him and immediately returned to the pharmacy. Yu Wenhao looked at her busy figure and sighed, pregnant people are very noble, why is she so busy?
The pressure in the palace has been quite low recently. Concubine Qin proposed to choose a concubine, and both the imperial concubine and Di Guifei agreed. The palace has issued an edict to make preparations, but the matter has not been informed to Emperor Ming Yuan.
The former dynasty and the harem are clearly separated.
The imperial concubine now holds the phoenix seal to govern the six palaces. If the ancestral system is moved out, not even Emperor Ming Yuan can object.
