Chapter 409
Bu Youran lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the hustle and bustle outside the window, and replied with a smile, "Want to hear the answer?"

Dong Li nodded his head like garlic, thinking that Bu Youran was going to reveal some big news, his eyes widened, his heart was pounding anxiously waiting.

Bu Youran stretched out his index finger, and lightly poked her protruding forehead, "Then wait patiently."

"Cut!" Dong Li pursed her lips, rubbing her forehead and moved towards the front of the car, "I guess the girl is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and she came up with this plan when she had nothing to do, but I didn't expect that the salty fish would turn around."

"Well said." Bu Youran put down the curtains of the car, leaned towards the back seat of the car, hugged her chest, closed her eyes and rested her mind, "Don't go to Zuixian Tower today, I owe you a meal, please come back another day you."

Dong Li coquettishly said, "You don't want to sleep anymore, do you?"

Bu Youran turned half of her body and ignored her.

Seeing this, Dong Li had no choice but to puff her cheeks, and she didn't know who to vent her anger on.

After another seven days, prices in the capital skyrocketed, and the price of medicines was the first to bear the brunt. The root cause was that the Meng Mansion of the medical family was confiscated. The Meng family controlled almost 90.00% of the sales of medicinal materials in the capital. In this way, All the medicinal herbs are monopolized by the imperial court, most of them have to be provided to the imperial court, and a small part is circulated in the world, so the price of medicine will naturally skyrocket.

Secondly, it is followed by rice, grain, oil, and even cloth, and there are various shops, restaurants and other consumption places. The overall price of the capital has tripled. I can't afford it', of course, it's more about cursing the newly appointed left prime minister, and the emperor who is fatuous and slanderous.

However, everything is in vain, nothing more than just showing off.

Bu Youran occasionally felt pain in her lower abdomen these few days, so she invited a doctor to feel her pulse, but the seven herbal medicines prescribed lacked four of them. Hawthorn, astragalus, and angelica, but even if there are only three prescriptions of the three herbs, the price is fifty times more expensive than usual.

Bu Youran lay on the bed and waved her hands, "I look down upon you, is this still how people live?"

Liu Wanniang, the old bustard of Yihong Courtyard, glared at Bu Youran, "Otherwise, don't get sick, and torture your body if you have nothing to do. It used to be fine, but if you insist on trying to lose weight, see if your menstruation is abnormal now."

Bu Youran gestured with her lips, "Keep your voice down."

"Afraid people will say it? Don't you always have a thick skin?" Liu Wanniang picked up the brown sugar water soaked on the table and walked towards Bu Youran on the bed.

Bu Youran sat up with the help of the bedpost, took the bowl, and took a sip, "How much is this brown sugar now?"

"You still have the nerve to ask?" Liu Wanniang glared at Bu Youran.

"Looks like it's not cheap." Bu Youran sighed again, "Do I have to live anymore? Isn't this forcing me to move to the countryside?"

"Countryside? Do you dare to think about it?" Liu Wanniang took away the brown sugar bowl that Bu Youran had finished drinking, "The skyrocketing prices are not only unbearable for the common people, but also for the officials ordered by the imperial court. In addition to buying daily necessities, they also have to give gifts to their superiors. , Where does the money come from? It can only be exploited step by step, and who will be exploited in the end? What do you think?"

"Could it be that the tenants have increased the tax?" Bu Youran guessed.

"On the road." Liu Wanniang glanced at Bu Youran appreciatively, "Now the farmers are suffering more than us, and the poorer the place, the more complaints, so at least this is the capital, so we won't starve to death."

Bu Youran curled her lips, seeing that Liu Wanniang said it with ease, she must have been fully prepared, "According to the current situation, the business of Yihong Court will not improve in a short period of time, but will get worse and worse. Mom has thought about it." What are the future arrangements for these girls? Dismissal, or... other plans?"

When Liu Wanniang heard Bu Youran mentioned it, she became more and more disappointed, "If you didn't mention it, I would be able to procrastinate one day after another. Anyway, it's just buying more rice noodles, etc., and it can last for a year or so." She moved out A chair, sighed and sat down, fanning the wind by his ears with his hand as a fan, "It's just a pity to think about it, I, Liu Wanniang, have been living in the capital all my life, and finally gained some fame, and spent a lot of money to train these girls, The good days are just about to start but they have to give up."

Bu Youran was silent, thinking that the drastic changes in the capital this month were all caused by the situation in the court, and if it was pushed further, it would be the newly appointed Prime Minister of the Left.Most people think that the left prime minister is one of the three fires when the new official takes office, and if he bears with it for a while, it will definitely reduce his power. However, it is not the case. If history continues to evolve as Bu Youran knows, the latter will be even worse.

The imperial court will fall day by day, and the emperor's grace that the people once said will never be restored. The treacherous ministers are in power, and the villains are in power. Logically speaking, such an imperial court should not be able to last for too long. They were all under the control of Chu Jinyu, and they lasted for a long time. Whether it was the Qing Dynasty or the future Jingguo, they just changed their names.

"Do you know him?" The bustard Liu Wanniang looked at Bu Youran.

Bu Youran was absent-minded, she didn't hear what Liu Wanniang said just now.

Liu Wanniang repeated, "The news of the newly appointed left prime minister is also tightly sealed. You can see which contacts from the past can still be used. Let's dredge them up, and maybe life will be easier."

"Mom, you mean Princess Yanhua?" Bu Youran sorted it out quickly, some old ministers were accused of returning to their hometowns, and it didn't matter to the new ones, and Zhao Yanhua was the only direction to look for.

Liu Wanniang smiled, "You girl is really smart."

Bu Youran shook his head, "Mom, are you confused? Don't you also say that you don't understand the situation in the court now? How dare you just go for it now? What if you accidentally step on a thunder?"

After careful consideration, Liu Wanniang felt that it made sense, but apart from Zhao Yanhua, she really had no other way to go, so she couldn't help being discouraged.

"Mom, don't worry, look at the situation again, it won't be too late to act when it becomes clearer." Bu Youran comforted, "If it's really not easy, then I will think of other ways to get rich for mom, at worst, start all over again .”

Liu Wanniang couldn't help being excited when she heard these bold words, she was about to get up when she picked chrysanthemums outside and knocked on the door, "Mom, there is a person in the hall who brought many precious medicinal materials for Miss Bu to take!"
