After saving the pig god, I counterattacked and became the richest man in the village

Chapter 629 631 Praise
Zhao Yuanle: "Change to a new one."

Huo Jun waved his hand: "It can still be used, and if it can't be used, I will change it."

Zhao Yuanle: "You are really frugal."

Huo Jun smiled cheerfully, and looked at Zhao Yuanle with admiration.

"This time, little girl, you have made great contributions. Would you like me to send you a pennant and a bonus? Although it is not much, it always means that."

Zhao Yuanle also smiled.

"No, I'm relatively low-key and don't like to make publicity."

Huo Jun laughed loudly: "Really, then I will secretly give you the bonus, how about it?"

Zhao Yuanle smiled and nodded hastily.

"This can be."

Huo Jun's eyes were very kind, and he couldn't see the aura of a superior in his whole body. He felt like a little old man next door.

He took out the written commendation letter from the table and showed it to Zhao Yuanle.

"Look at this, if you think something is wrong, I'll change it."

Zhao Yuanle took it and looked at it.

Huo Jun looked at Ming Hongyan at this moment, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, with a sigh of relief.

"It's been hard work for you these days."

Ming Hong said, "It's okay."

Huo Jun paused and talked about the plague.

"There is news from the Xi's family, saying that the first batch of special medicine has been made, and the effect is good, but the output is not much.

The price they offered was very high, one hundred silver dollars for a small bottle, less than five hundred bottles in total.

I heard that many people in the city have written to make reservations. "

Ming Hongyan couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"They're just as good as ever."

Zhao Yuanle raised his head, and couldn't help complaining: "Didn't you say that the nobles in the city are well protected, and they don't get sick, so what are you doing hoarding medicine?"

Huo Jun smiled helplessly: "They want to prevent problems before they happen, and at this price, they can afford them."

Zhao Yuanle: "The cost of this thing shouldn't be so high, even if it's expensive, it shouldn't be so expensive."

Huo Jun: "They have a monopoly, and there is nothing we can do if we want to charge this price.

What is this called, oh, it is called a patent, it is called a copyright.

They have to earn back the cost of the initial investment in this drug, and then sell it at the ordinary cost price. "

Zhao Yuanle snorted coldly: "I'll tell Chen Moying about this news, so they will know about it. In this way, don't I also have a share of the patent copyright?"

Huo Jun: "Oh? I don't know about it yet. But even so, the Xi family won't admit it. Now is a special time, and they will definitely take this opportunity to make a fortune.

Businessman, that's it. "

Zhao Yuanle put down the letter, very upset.

"It depends on the time to make money, what's the matter if the country is in trouble.

You are the big president, so just come up with a regulation to restrict them from selling at high prices. "

At this time, tea came, Huo Jun poured tea for the two of them, picked up his thermos cup, took a sip of hot water, and sighed: "This is not feasible, I am the president, not the former emperor, even if I was the former emperor The emperor, there is no way to take these people.

They have been entrenched there for thousands of years, with deep roots and lush leaves, and they were not moved by our order. "

Zhao Yuanle was puzzled when he heard this.

"The barrel of the gun is in your hands, how dare they be disobedient?"

Ming Hongyan couldn't help but say, "If any problem can be solved by force, that would be more convenient.

After all, the most important thing is people.

We can't fix everyone.

The rules that most people agree with cannot be broken at once.

If you make a direct and domineering decision, other people will definitely have an idea after reading it.

At that time, people's hearts will be scattered, and it will be even more difficult to gather together. "

Therefore, sometimes it is not that he wants to intrigue with these people, but that in this big society, there are only some ways to achieve his goals.

Zhao Yuanle looked at his fist and sighed.

"Suddenly there is no place for me to use my skills."

Huo Jun drank hot water and talked about it again.

"Maybe, let these people in the city buy it at a high price first, and when the Xi family recovers the cost, and the production volume increases later, they should be able to sell it cheaply."

Zhao Yuanle: "How long will I have to wait?"

Huo Jun: "According to the current speed, it will be a month later. This is thanks to the convenient transportation now, which saves a lot of time on the road."

Zhao Yuanle: "In this month, how many people will die if they can't wait for the medicine?"

Huo Jun was silent, the wrinkles on his face were full of helplessness.

"Now there is not much money in the treasury."

Wars cost the most money. This time, the war was won so quickly, but it still cost a considerable amount of money.

Nowadays, it costs money to take care of people who have survived the plague, as well as the prevention of epidemic areas.

And because of severe droughts and floods in the north and south this year, food is also in short supply.

I heard that a place hundreds of miles away from the northern capital has already started to suffer from famine.

Huo Jun's heart was heavy, but he still tried to show optimism on his face.

He smiled and said: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. I am going to call on the big families in the northern capital to raise donations, save money as much as possible, and get through this hurdle."

Zhao Yuanle rolled his eyes and asked, "Since there is a way to make medicine now, why not let healthy people make this medicine together, so that the production can increase faster?"

Huo Jun: "This, this has to be discussed with the Xi family."

Zhao Yuanle's eyes flashed.

"You can find a lobbyist."

As she spoke, she looked at Ming Hongyan and gave Ming Hongyan an encouraging look.

Ming Hong said: "..."

Why are you looking at him like that.

He knew that the lobbyist was Chen Moying, and he could also write a letter to tell Chen Moying about this matter, but why did he use this kind of look.

Huo Jun smiled: "Well, you can try to find a lobbyist."

As he said that, he said to Ming He: "As for the negotiation, we also have to discuss it carefully."

Zhao Yuanle: "Do I need to avoid it?"

Ming Hong said, "No need."

Huo Jun smiled and began to talk about the candidates for the negotiation.

"What I mean is naturally to find people who often deal with Westerners, and those who have studied abroad are the best.

However, the meaning of the emperor is to find some of the original ministers and prepare to hold it in the palace, which means let him preside over it. "

Zhao Yuanle snorted coldly.

"Give him face, don't do shit, but still come to be the boss, and it's his turn to host? What kind of thing is he?"

Huo Jun was a little surprised, but didn't say anything.

Although he is now against the emperor, he has never said that about the emperor.

After all, this is still the emperor.

Not only did he have this kind of mentality, but many people actually still gave the emperor some face, and gave face to a bunch of former imperial relatives and relatives.

Even the students who studied in the West and talked about reforms still have a respect for the emperor.

It was the first time he saw someone like Zhao Yuanle who didn't take the emperor seriously.

Ming Hongyan frowned slightly: "His purpose should not only be to preside over negotiations."

Huo Jun: "The original intention of the emperor was to negotiate first, and then pursue after recovery.

He wanted the people over there to bow their heads.

What I mean is to reach a consensus first, to finalize the matter of maritime trade, and stabilize it for about five years, so that we can recuperate and speed up the construction of industry.

Our stance doesn't need to be too tough, we have to give them some benefits, don't be in a hurry. "

Ming Hongyan nodded: "It is not suitable to continue fighting now, the latter is more suitable."

Huo Jun: "But they don't think so, they want to pose and celebrate.

This is where the current contradiction lies. "

Zhao Yuanle rolled his eyes.

"We still have to celebrate... So many people have died, not to mention taking the lead in mourning, but also wanting to show off..."

Zhao Yuanle was so angry at the thought that it was this group of people who would benefit in the end.

Ming Hong said: "I will settle this matter.

Thinking about it, Wanhe will get the news soon and call me into the palace.

Coincidentally, in the next few days, it will be the queen mother's birthday banquet, and when the time comes, everyone who should come will come. "

Huo Jun: "You want to..."

Ming Hongyan nodded: "I'm almost ready."

Huo Jun put his hands behind his back and said with emotion: "I believe in you, but have you really decided?"

Ming Hongyan nodded.

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter."

Huo Jun: "Okay, since you have already made up your mind, I won't say anything more. If you need anything at that time, you can talk to me, and I will try my best to cooperate with you."

As he said that, he couldn't help laughing twice: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and after all, it will be your young people's world."

Zhao Yuanle blinked and looked at Ming Hongyan.

Is Ming Hongyan considered a young man?
She thinks she is younger.

Then, the two talked about some official business that Zhao Yuanle was not familiar with. Zhao Yuanle held a teacup, drank tea, and looked around.

After talking about the matter over there, when Ming Hongyan came to find him, she had just asked Xiao Li at the door about finding a wife.

Xiao Li: "My mother told me about a cousin from my hometown. I think it's not good for this close relative to get married. I want to discuss with my mother about changing her."

Zhao Yuanle: "It's better to change to another one, at least three generations away, otherwise the baby will be easily sick."

Xiao Li nodded: "Yes, hey, did your family tell you about your marriage? Would you like me to introduce one to you? I have a brother who looks pretty good. The family population is also simple. His parents are reasonable. people."

Zhao Yuanle shook his head: "No, no, I'm not yet an adult, I'll talk about it when I become an adult."

Xiao Li: "Adult? How old is an adult you are talking about, isn't it enough to be sixteen?"

Zhao Yuanle: "At least eighteen, it's best to have a baby at 25, I'm still early."

Xiao Li was a little surprised.

"It's so late? Which scholar said this? What is the best thing for a man to have a baby?"

Zhao Yuanle: "25 to 35 years old."

Xiao Li nodded thoughtfully: "Then I'll wait another three years."

At this time, Ming Yan who was standing behind coughed softly.

Zhao Yuanle looked back.

Ming Hong said: "Aren't you going to see Ruyun?"

Zhao Yuanle bid farewell to Xiao Li: "Let's talk next time."

Xiao Li: "Okay, see you next time."

Ming Hongyan took Zhao Yuanle out of here, got into the carriage, and went to the place where Princess Ruyun was.

On the way, Zhao Yuanle was about to lift the curtain to see when Ming Hongyan stopped him.

Ming Hong said, "Don't lift it."

Zhao Yuanle: "What?"

Ming Hong said: "This area is not safe."

Zhao Yuanle: "What are you afraid of? There are assassins. If one comes, I will kill one. If two come, I will kill one pair."

Ming Hong said: "This area is reserved for people infected with the plague."

There was surprise in Zhao Yuanle's eyes, and even more surprise when he realized it.

"Princess Ruyun, she..."

Ming Hong said: "She wanted to be a heroine, act chivalrously, save people from fire and water, so she took people outside to help, and caught the plague."

Zhao Yuanle was silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Ming Hongyan said softly, "I've already bought the medicine, and I'm on my way, as long as she can survive these two days."

Zhao Yuanle leaned on the carriage and sighed.

"Tell her to be a heroine, but you have to use your brain to be a heroine. Why do you put yourself in it?"

Ming Hong said: "She is already considered lucky, she has someone to take care of her, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and now she still has soup and medicine to drink, and the special medicine is on the way.

The rest will live and die on their own, and life and death are all in the will of God. "

Zhao Yuanle was silent, and didn't know what to say at the moment.

Arriving at the destination, after getting off the carriage, the two put on special masks and walked into the courtyard.

Through the window, Zhao Yuanle saw Princess Ruyun lying on the bed.

At this moment, Princess Ruyun's face was pale, and she seemed to be sweating, but shivering.

Before Zhao Yuanle could open his mouth, Princess Ruyun coughed and spit out bloody pink foam, and his consciousness was in a fuzzy state.

A servant girl was waiting on the side, and brought a cloth towel that had been soaked in cold water and put it on.

Zhao Yuanle still remembered the princess Ruyun whom he met before, who was full of vitality, like a fire.

Now, it looks like this.

Zhao Yuanle: "I hope she can survive."

Ming Hongyan turned around and called Zhao Yuanle.

Zhao Yuanle followed Ming Hongyan and walked out.

The two walked along the street and saw rows of corpses covered with white cloths.

At this moment, there were coughing sounds one after another. People leaning against the wall, some were spitting blood and sputum, the bare skin of their hands, ankles and necks was covered with blood, and many people had necrotic fingers and toes, and they were tortured beyond human appearance.

A gust of wind blows the white cloth, revealing a purple-black body covered with bruises, which is extremely frightening.

Ming Hongyan looked at the scene along the street, with deep compassion in his eyes: "After the onset of the plague, it usually takes three days to change from a normal person to this appearance.

People who have decoctions can last longer, and very few people can get better by taking decoctions.

Most of them were thrown into this place to fend for themselves. "

Zhao Yuanle was speechless.

She killed a lot of Western devils before, but she didn't feel touched at all, but now looking at these people, she feels very uncomfortable.

Ming Hongyan's voice was full of sarcasm.

"Who would have imagined that the singing and dancing over there is peaceful, and that this place is like a purgatory on earth, where countless lives are waiting to die.

They actually want to celebrate with great fanfare, holding the flowing money to show the so-called national strength and face. "

Zhao Yuanle remained silent.

Ming Hongyan raised his head and glanced at the horizon, calmly expressing his judgment.

"Death within three days of illness, one month, 30 days, year, how many people can wait, and how many people can't wait.

This is just a city in the northern capital, and if you go further north, how many people will die in the sum of several provinces.

They don't care, they only care about how much money they can make this time.

Even if one more day of waiting would result in the death of more than a hundred thousand people, they would not come up with a medicine.

Because it wasn't them who died. "

And these people still hold many lifelines, and they can't be killed.

Because of killing them, no one will make these medicines.

Ming Hongyan didn't know who he was mocking, so he laughed out loud.

"Internal troubles and external troubles can be solved, but internal thieves can never be eliminated."
