Chapter 241 The Silk Road of Huge Profits

"Hey! What a tragedy! Someone drank pesticide again!"

On the streets of Kaifeng City, a car dragged a person to the Chinese Medicine Hospital in a hurry, and the people around him all shook their heads and sighed.

"It's a pity! It must be hopeless."

Some people in Kaifeng shook their heads and sighed, since the popularization of pesticides, poisoning by drinking pesticides has become a common occurrence. It caused a lot of tragedies, which is also the reason why the ruling and opposition parties have continued to dispute over pesticides.

In the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, a group of doctors could not help having a headache when they saw another person who was poisoned by pesticides.

Physicians' medical skills are used to cure diseases and save people. Those who are saved are all sick people. However, these patients who drink pesticides are the most troublesome. But there is no chance to regret it. Instead, he blames the doctors for their poor medical skills, or the doctors for killing people with pesticides.

Fortunately, doctors finally have a way to detoxify now, Yang Jie immediately ordered when he saw the patient was delivered.

"Go and prepare soapy water! Use gastric lavage."

The method of gastric lavage has just been created by Fan Zheng. Now it is only a theory, and there is no time to experiment. Right now, it can only be rushed to the shelves.

"Yes"

The entire hospital of traditional Chinese medicine is ready to fight immediately. Once the treatment is successful today, the doctors will completely get rid of the plight of pesticide poisoning.

Soon, the soapy water was ready, and a group of doctors immediately forcibly controlled the patient who was foaming at the mouth and was in pain, and poured soapy water into his mouth with a pump.

"vomit!"

The nauseating smell of soapy water immediately irritated the patient's stomach, causing stomach spasms, and he vomited out almost all the contents in his stomach. Suddenly, a pungent pesticide smell filled the entire ward.

"This method works!"

Seeing a large amount of pesticide being vomited out, Yang Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and vomited out the poison, which meant that it was possible to save his life.

"Continue gastric lavage!"

Yang Jie didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered to dilute and neutralize the toxin as soon as possible and then induce vomiting, so that the patient can survive as much as possible.

At that moment, a group of doctors poured soapy water into the patient's mouth again, and then shook the patient's body violently, using inertia to let the soapy water wash away the poison in the patient's stomach as much as possible.

After several times in a row, the vomit from the patient no longer smelled of pesticides, so the doctor replaced the original soapy water with light salt water, and rinsed the soapy water from the stomach again.

"Okay! You should have saved your life!"

After the gastric lavage was completed, Yang Jie felt relieved, and then ordered the doctor to release the patient.

Immediately after the patient was released from the restraints, he lay on the hospital bed and retched endlessly, and finally almost vomited out bitter bile.

"I will never drink medicine again." The patient said painfully.

She didn't think that gastric lavage was the most painful, and she never wanted to experience the overwhelming feeling in her stomach again.

A group of doctors couldn't help but smile wryly. They didn't expect that the method of gastric lavage, which can save people from diseases, would have the effect of persuading people.

After the gastric lavage, the patient recovered gradually. The method of gastric lavage can solve the pesticide poisoning finally got the real case verification. It is used as an antidote for doctors all over the world.

Fan Zheng smiled wryly. Soap is a personal care product made by himself, and it is very difficult to promote it. He did not expect that as an antidote, it would become popular in Song Dynasty in an instant.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao immediately asked Yizhuang to expand soap production, and the soap immediately became popular throughout the Song Dynasty.

With the promotion of the method of gastric lavage, although folk poisoning incidents still occurred frequently, the incidents of poisoning deaths were greatly reduced, and the plight of doctors was immediately resolved.

After all, the benefits of the promotion of pesticides outweigh the disadvantages, and doctors have added foul-smelling substances to pesticides to remind the people, and there is gastric lavage for treatment.

........................

"Report to Fan Taicheng, the Liao Kingdom requested that the mirror and soap businesses also be included in the Silk Road Project."

Fan Zheng had just solved the problem of pesticide poisoning among the people, and immediately got officials sent by the Ministry of Rites to personally convey the request of the Liao Kingdom.

"The news from the Liao Kingdom is quite well-informed. As soon as Da Song had two good things, the Liao Kingdom came to him." Fan Zheng shook his head and laughed.

Both mirrors and soaps are rare items. Once transported to the Western Regions, they will be huge profits. Silk tea and porcelain are both big deals. Although the overall volume is large, the profits are not the highest. Mirrors and soaps are new things. There is no place in the Western Regions at all, once it appears, it will be a huge profit,
"Master Cai Bian asked the villain to ask Fan Taicheng what he meant?" the official of the Ministry of Rites asked.

Fan Zheng was the main envoy and Cai Bian was the deputy envoy when discussing the Silk Road project with the Liao Kingdom. In addition, glass and soap were created by doctors. positive meaning.

"Quite! But when supplying to the Liao Kingdom, the price of mirrors and soap will be doubled as Song tax." Fan Zheng waved his hand.

"The price has doubled?" the person from the Ministry of Rites exclaimed.

Da Song has always been at a disadvantage facing Liao, Fan Zheng directly doubled the price of mirrors and soap, if it annoyed Liao, it would be good.

"Don't worry, just do it!" Fan Zheng said confidently.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites had no choice but to return to the lobby of the Ministry of Rites and reported the matter to Cai Bian.

Cai Bian laughed when he heard the words: "The imperial court has added a lot of taxes for no reason. This is a great thing. Naturally, the Ministry of Rites will not refuse Fan Taicheng's kindness, so we will do it according to Fan Taicheng's wishes."

Soon, the Ministry of Rites reported the quotations for the mirror and soap to the Liao State.

After the news came to the Liao Kingdom, the officials of the Liao Kingdom were immediately outraged.

"The Great Song Dynasty deceived people too much. The price of the mirror and soap was doubled directly. This is to take advantage of my Liao Kingdom!" Yeluzhangnu said angrily.Soap is okay, especially mirrors are already expensive in Song Dynasty, so doubling them is not a small amount.

Yelu Yanxi also had a displeased face. He didn't like the Silk Road project, but he didn't expect Song Guo to rub his nose on his face.

Yelu Nanyin frowned and said, "It is said that the mirror and soap were created by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and it was his idea to double the price."

"The princess is wise!" Yeluzhangnu said, he knew that Yelu Nanyin had a crush on the evil doctor Fan Zheng, so he just took this opportunity to make the princess hate the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

However, what he didn't expect was that Yelu Nanyin raised his brows and said, "Since it was created by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, this thing must be popular in the Western Regions. Someone here will sell this product to all tribes in the Western Regions at a five-fold price."

"Five times!"

The officials of the Liao Kingdom couldn't help exclaiming. They originally thought that Fan Zheng was already black-bellied enough, but they didn't expect Yelu Nanyin to be more ruthless, and directly increased the price of mirrors and soap by five times. In this way, wouldn't the Liao Kingdom earn more and never It is impossible to accuse Da Song of being insidious.

Yelu Nanyin said to himself: "Don't worry, mirrors and soaps are rare items, there is no price at all, those Hu merchants are even more shady, and they even increase the price by ten or a hundred times when they are shipped to farther countries."

"That's why the Song Dynasty is cheaper! Otherwise, Liao Kingdom can get more lucrative profits." Yelu Yanxi said dissatisfied.

The purpose of the Liao Kingdom is to suppress the Great Song Dynasty, and making money is secondary. The Great Song Dynasty not only exempts the old coins, but also earns a lot of money from the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Nanyin said solemnly: "So far, the profit of the Silk Road in the Liao Kingdom is about [-] guan per month. If the benefits of mirrors and soap are added, it will probably increase by another [-]%, which is far more than the annual coin. "

"One hundred thousand!"

Hundreds of officials in the Liao Kingdom were breathless, and there were 130 guan per month. Even if the transportation was inconvenient in winter and the trade decreased, it would be nearly a million guan per year. If it increased by another 50%, it would be a full [-] million guan. The annual income of old coins is only about [-] guan.

This does not include the economic stimulation of the Silk Road Project to the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom spans thousands of miles from east to west and has a vast territory, but its main center of gravity has always been in the east. East and West, the Liao State strengthened its jurisdiction over the western ministries.

Although the suppression of the Song Dynasty has been relaxed, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for the Liao Kingdom. It not only has a steady stream of financial resources, but also can stabilize the Liao Kingdom.

"Nanyin has done a good job! Song and Liao have lived in peace for a hundred years, and it is really inappropriate to have another dispute." Yelu Hongjilang said.

"Grandfather is sensible! The Silk Road Project will benefit both countries if they cooperate, and lose if they divide. Naturally, harmony is the most important thing." Yelu Nanyin said happily.

The officials of the Liao Kingdom couldn't help but frown. The income of millions of guan is really exciting. However, suppressing the Song Dynasty is equally important to the Liao Kingdom. However, Yelu Hongji relaxed the suppression of the Song Dynasty for the benefit of the million guan. Faintness of old age.

"Grandfather..." Yelu Yanxi hastily remonstrated.

"No need to say too much, I know you are young and vigorous, but state affairs are the most important thing, you must not cause trouble." Yelu Hongji interrupted Yelu Yanxi decisively.

All the officials of the Liao Kingdom couldn't help sighing, the hope of Liao Kingdom's future revival probably rested on Yelu Yanxi.

However, they didn't know that this result was the result of joint discussions between Yelu Hongji and Yelu Yanxi. The income of one million guan was nothing to the Song Dynasty, but it was a huge fortune to the Liao Kingdom. It is the basis for Yelu Yanxi's rearmament.

Yelu Yanxi had already used the continuous flow of money from the Silk Road to secretly purge the army in order to revive the Liao Kingdom and wait for the opportunity to unify the world.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Xixia once again asks for peace! To strengthen the diplomatic relations between the two countries, let's jointly attack the Great Song Dynasty!"

After dealing with the matter of the Silk Road, Yelu Yanxi entered the matter of Xixia again.

"Xi Xia getting married?"

Yelu Hongji couldn't help but frown. Xiaoliang Empress Dowager has proposed marriage many times, but he didn't respond.

After all, the Young Emperor Xixia is still too young, and now that the interests of the Silk Road are the source of income for the revitalization of the Liao Kingdom, once he agrees to a marriage with Xixia, the two countries must work together to deal with the Song Dynasty.

If the two countries win the Great Song Dynasty, Xixia will force the Great Song Dynasty to restore the old currency and the market, and the two countries will share the interests of the Silk Road, and the interests of the Liao Kingdom will be greatly damaged.

But now the Great Song Dynasty is shaking the sky again. If the Great Song Dynasty defends it and directly cuts off the old coins and the Silk Road of the two countries, the Liao Kingdom will lose this huge wealth of millions of guan every year.

Therefore, the Liao Kingdom has suffered heavy losses no matter whether it is war or peace, so naturally it does not want to make peace with Xixia.

"Grandfather, Xixia is the most important ally of the Liao Kingdom, and nothing can be lost!" Yelu Yanxi reminded.

Yelu Hongji felt helpless, knowing that he could only appease Xixia at this moment, he said immediately: "I heard that the physicians of the Song Dynasty researched that a man of eighteen and a woman can reach adulthood at sixteen, and it is best to get married at this time, and the young emperor of Xixia is only 12 years old. , it’s too early to be married at this moment.”

If Yelu Hongji wanted to get married with Xixia, he would naturally use the folk custom of getting married at the age of 15, but he followed the new saying that a man in a family reaches [-] years of age, and postponed the marriage for another three years.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All the officials also nodded and said, in this way, not only will the marriage be postponed, but also the ally relationship with Xixia can be maintained, so that Xixia can continue to contain the Song Dynasty, so as to maximize the interests of the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Yanxi's heart moved slightly. As long as it is postponed for another five years, the Liao Kingdom can obtain 500 million yuan in benefits from the Silk Road. Such a huge amount of wealth is enough to sharply improve the strength of the Liao Kingdom. Xixia, it is not a delusion to rule the world.

The key to all this lies in the Silk Road Project hosted by Yelu Nanyin.

"Pass down the order, Nanyin is the grandson's younger sister, no one can disobey it." Yelu Yanxi ordered.

"Yes!"

Officials of the Liao Kingdom took orders one after another.

Yelu Nanyin already had the special favor of Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, coupled with the personal order of the next generation emperor Yelu Yanxi, Yelu Nanyin can be said to have no obstacles in the Liao Kingdom.

With the handover of the latest batch of Silk Road materials between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, this time, in addition to the common silk, tea, porcelain and medicines, there are also clear glass mirrors that can be seen clearly, and in the Song Dynasty All the rage soaps.

"This is the mirror that Miracle Physician Fan prepared for everyone Li's wedding?" Seeing her unparalleled beauty in the glass mirror, Yelu Nanyin couldn't help but sigh.

Such clear mirrors are much better than commonly used bronze mirrors, and once supplied to the Western Regions, they will be snapped up.

Such a miraculous thing appeared on Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao's big wedding, which shows how hard Fan Zheng is.

"Not only the mirror, but even the soap is said to be made by Dr. Fan for Mr. Li. It is to eliminate mites that are invisible to the naked eye on people." The official on the side responded.

"Mites!"

Yelu Nanyin couldn't help but feel moved. She had just recovered her appearance, so she was naturally very concerned about her appearance, not to mention that mites also have the risk of ruining her appearance.

At the moment, let the maid call for water, and try the soap for yourself.

"This thing is of great use to women."

Yelu Nanyin's eyes lit up after personally experiencing the magical effect of soap.

She is in charge of the Silk Road Project, so she naturally knows that women's business is the best place to do business on the Silk Road, and the best silk is the best proof.

Once soap appears on the Silk Road, it will definitely be sought after by countless women, and soap is a daily necessities that can be sold repeatedly, and it will definitely be another big source of income for Silk Road in the future.

"Come on, this time the princess will personally escort this batch of goods to the Western Regions." Yelu Nanyin said firmly.

She naturally knows that both Song and Liao have ulterior motives. As a princess, she can't change the overall situation. The only thing she can do is to use the benefits of the Silk Road to deepen the bond between the two countries. When the benefits of the Silk Road are large enough, no matter which country If you want to fight, you probably have to worry about three points.

This time, she will go to the Western Regions in person to strive for the greatest benefits for Song and Liao.

At that moment, Yelu Nanyin led a huge convoy all the way west.
