Chapter 647 Seeking medical advice (2)
"Herbs!" Mr. Guangling said with a smile, "Our mountain forest stretches for hundreds of miles to the southwest. It is the place where Shennong lived in ancient times. There are hundreds of kinds of precious herbs in the mountains. That’s why I grew up in the mountains and no one knows me.”

Yun Jin shook her head again: "Although the woman surnamed Yao is proficient in medical skills, she is not necessarily a drug addict. Besides, she knows that she is stationed here alone, so there is absolutely no way she came here to gather medicine to fall into the trap."

"Herbal medicine can't attract her, so what about patients?" Mr. Guangling said with a smile: "The largest grain merchant in Anlu Mansion seeks medical treatment. Do you think she will come or not?"

"Oh?" Yun Jin smiled thoughtfully, "That's a bit interesting."

It can be said that Tang Ruding was in a state of desperation during this period.

Chaos broke out everywhere, and the magistrate of his county became like a spinning top, turning east and west, pressing down on one side, and rising up on the other side, it was like pressing a gourd to float a ladle.

Originally, he also received the news from above, saying that it is enough to make sense of the troubled people, there is no need to be serious, let them make trouble.

But it doesn't matter in other places, but he can't be born in Huzhou, because there is a Fuguo lady and a princess in Huzhou, and there are two thousand Jinlin guards.Jin Linwei's long knife rested on his neck and directly ordered: Don't do what the princess says, and cut off his head immediately.

As a result, County Magistrate Tang had no choice but to let go of the so-called orders from his superiors. For his old life, he had to obey Jin Linwei's arrangement, arresting and locking up people every day, and then arresting and locking them up again.It wasn't until the prisons in the county were filled that those damn rioters stopped.

However, the arrests of the rioters have stopped, but the people who have no food are still around the gate of the county government.The common people have to eat!
Tang Ruding asked a hundred households of Jinlinwei: Please find a way to get some food from the princess and his wife, let's get rid of these people first!
Jin Linwei gave him a cold look: You are the county magistrate, how to appease the people is your job.

Master Tang stared at the sky speechlessly: there is not even a mouse in the county government's granary!Let him think of a way!
Jin Linwei kindly pointed out a clear way: to borrow from the local grain merchants.

You can't even buy it with silver, so you still have to borrow it? !County magistrate Tang went crazy. Those grain merchants had backers behind them. How could he, the county magistrate, afford to offend them?
In fact, it was Yao Yanyu's idea to go to the grain merchant to borrow grain, but he had to borrow it in the name of Tangru Town, after all, he was the parent official of the county.

Yao Yanyu also thought about it, firstly, the grain merchants stockpiled grain for profit, and secondly, because they couldn't help themselves.Therefore, it is not easy to borrow beams.

But if Tangru Town is stronger, use the prestige of a county chief official to show affection and reason to the grain merchants in Huzhou, and tell them that if they don't provide some grain at this time to suppress the civil unrest, the common people will turn their backs. In a hurry, they smashed their family's granary, and they were the ones who suffered in the end.

In fact, the imperial court has always been tolerant in its treatment of the rioters. After all, the common people's inability to eat is also due to the incompetence of the government.Don't say anything else, let's just say that the rioters who were caught in the cells this time, except for the traitors who secretly provoked troubles, most of them were sent back.

When Mr. Tang was at his wit's end, a distinguished guest came to his door——the head manager of the Chen family, the largest grain merchant in Hanyang Prefecture, came to his door.

"Boss Chen! Your honored guest!" Tang Ruding saw the chief manager of the Chen family as if he saw hundreds of thousands of white rice, and his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.

"Master Tang! This old slave is so polite!" Chen Daping, the head of the Chen family, gave a deep salute to Tang Ruding.This old man is the proud subordinate of the old boss of the Chen family, and he has a bit of face with Tan Bonian, the magistrate of Hanyang. It is a great respect to bow down when he meets Tang Ruding.

Of course, Tang Ruding didn't care about these details with him at the moment, so he quickly raised his hand and said, "Mr. Chen please get up quickly. I really don't know what kind of wind brought you, a nobleman, here?" No way , these days, it is the uncle who has food!As a parent of a county, Tang Ruding, for the sake of the people's livelihood, was more courteous and kind to a servant of a merchant's family than to a colleague chief.

The two chattered for a while, but in the end Tang Ruding couldn't hold his breath, so he asked Chen Daping first: "Chairman Chen came to our Huzhou, what's the matter?"

"Oh, Mr. Tang is wise. I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Palace if I have nothing to do!" Chen Daping clasped his fists at Tang Ruding again, "My old parents don't know. Nao, I actually let it go. Our boss is a well-known filial son in our Hanyang Mansion. Because of this matter, he couldn’t eat and couldn’t sleep at night. Because he heard that the genius doctor of our Dayun Dynasty is now in Huzhou, so he sent the old man Slave, please do me a favor, sir, say a few words in front of this miracle doctor, and ask the miracle doctor to go out of the mountain to treat my old lady Jia. Our boss said that as long as this miracle doctor can heal our old lady Sickness, food, etc., are easy to talk about!"

When Tang Ruding heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he asked in surprise: "Is this really true?!"

Chen Daping clapped his hands and sighed: "Oh, my lord! Human life is a matter of heaven and earth! How can our master play tricks?"

"No need for more, I only need 20 shi of grain. Just sell it at the original price this spring." Tang Ruding immediately dismissed the condition.

"So much?!" Chen Daping lowered his head and rubbed his chin in embarrassment, and asked again: "One hundred thousand shi. To tell you the truth, my lord, there is a lot of chaos everywhere, even if there is food, I dare not transport it here! There are tens of thousands of rioters waiting to rob grain trucks on the way! One hundred thousand shi, the old slaves will be transported here from the warehouses in the two counties around Huzhou, this is not safe!"

"15. It can't be less." Tang Ruding said with a sullen face: "This county doesn't want you for nothing! You should buy it at the original price. Your boss should know about the current situation. It won't be long before the city of Jingdu I will intervene in this matter. At that time, I will inevitably ask you grain merchants about the crime of taking advantage of the chaos for personal gain, and maybe you will also ask you about the crime of collaborating with the enemy. You are making a high profile now, so I can say a few words for you in the future Good word."

Chen Daping pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and patted his thigh: "Okay! As the old saying goes, listen to people's persuasion and eat well. The old servant first thanked the boss for his kindness on behalf of the master. I wonder if the boss can guarantee that the miraculous doctor's wife will treat my old lady. sick?"

Tang Ruding immediately changed his clothes with a embarrassed expression, and sighed: "To tell you the truth, Mrs. Fuguo looked at Mianshan, but she was actually a very thoughtful person. Think about it, she is the judge of the second-rank court who served by the emperor's side." But don't worry, since the old man promised, you will do your best."

Chen Daping was born as a businessman, so his bargaining skills are naturally excellent.No matter how Tang Ruding tried to play tricks, he finally earned himself the opportunity to go into the mountains to meet Mrs. Fuguo.

Without further ado.Tang Ruding knew that he would not be able to do it without his horse. Besides, he had to go to the princess and Mrs. Fuguo to ask for credit. Under such conditions, he could get 15 shi of cheap food to prove his ability. Bundle?After the matter is over, even if you can't make it to the top, at least you can guarantee that you are safe and sound, right?
