Because Ge Xun was hired, Daohua was very happy all the way back to Taohua Village.

Looking at the cheerful apprentice, Gu Jian was quite speechless, but he still agreed with the girl's vision. He had communicated with Ge Xun in the past few days, and this person did have some attainments in medical skills.

He knew very well the role of a good doctor on the injured. When Yeyang went to Northern Xinjiang, he was not less worried. After sending the person there, with him taking care of him, he and his apprentice could feel more at ease.

In early March, the group returned to Taohua Village. Upon their return, Daohua took Ge Xun to visit his pharmacy.

The pharmacy was newly built. As more pharmaceutical equipment was added, Gu Jian's pharmacy became a bit small, so Daohua built a large pharmacy in Zhuangzi.

Seeing that the pharmacy was full of glassware that he had never seen before, Ge Xun's eyes couldn't stand it: "Miss Yan, the medicines you gave me before were all made from these things?"

Daohua smiled and nodded: "Yeah, don't look at the wide variety of these instruments. In fact, they are not complicated to use. You can learn them by just looking at them. The real difficulty is to experimentally research the pharmaceutical formula."

Because the Sun family's fleet was going to the north at the end of March, Daohua also wanted Ge Xun to go to northern Xinjiang early, so she told him to make preparations, and then went to the pharmacy to make medicine. She wanted to do more

Send some medicine to Xiao Yeyang and his two brothers.

......

At the same time, the capital and the imperial palace.

Because the Eight Kings fled to Northern Xinjiang and captured three border cities. Even though Xia Teng's army later recaptured one city, there were still two cities in the hands of the Eight Kings. With the city defense and the alliance with the Tatars, the war in Northern Xinjiang was

It was a stalemate.

During this period, there were no major battles in northern Xinjiang, but small battles continued.

It doesn’t matter if the hundreds of thousands of troops at the border pass withdraw, it doesn’t matter if they don’t.

The emperor looked at the border battle report angrily and threw the Zhezi to the ground angrily.

Several officials who were called to discuss the matter lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

The intention of the Eight Kings is obvious, just to delay time. With hundreds of thousands of troops, the food they consume every day is an astronomical figure. After a long time, the court will definitely not be able to support it.

The air pressure in the hall was very low, and finally the chief assistant Yang Chenghua stood up bravely: "Your Majesty, last year the provinces collected food, and the soldiers were not short of food for the time being. However, after the battles, many soldiers were injured. Now Bei

Xinjiang is in urgent need of life-saving medicinal materials."

The emperor rubbed his swollen forehead. The food was easy to collect, but medicinal materials were valuable and rare. Not many people grew them. Even if he wanted to order the collection, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to collect much.

Moreover, the price of medicine is much more expensive than food.

Although the national treasury has been filled a lot in the past two years due to the two gold mines discovered in Ningmen Mansion, the war has consumed too much, and there is not much left in the treasury now, so it is impossible to use it all to buy medicinal materials.

"What good ideas do you have?"

The national treasury is not rich. Yang Chenghua knows this and understands what the emperor means. He looked at his silent colleagues and sighed. This time he wanted to be a villain again: "Your Majesty, the country is in trouble, ordinary people."

I feel responsible, so I think we can encourage drug dealers to donate."

If this news spreads, he is afraid that he will be hated to death by the major drug dealers.

Hearing this, the emperor lowered his eyes and pondered. The method is indeed a good one, but the major drug dealers are backed by aristocratic families, so they are very slippery, and they may not receive many medicinal materials in the end.

Just a little less, it’s better than nothing.

The emperor originally wanted to appoint Crown Prince Jiang from Cheng'en Palace to do this. The Jiang family is the head of the aristocratic family. If the Jiang family comes forward, how can other aristocratic families give some face?

However, when he went to court the next day, Prince Chiang, who had received the news in advance, actually asked for sick leave.

The emperor looked at the empty seat where Jiang Zhengqing should have been standing, and his dissatisfaction with the Jiang family reached its peak.

Over the years, the Jiang family has enjoyed the supreme honor brought by the emperor's uncle's family, but they have never fulfilled their corresponding obligations. On the contrary, they have often been against him and hindered him at every turn.

Good, very good!

Finally, the emperor weighed it up and appointed Wu Jingyi from the Fifth Army Commander's Office to handle the matter.

......

Because of Dongli and Caiju, Gu Jian knew the news about the capital.

Dongli looked at Gu Jian hesitantly, and finally couldn't help but said: "Old master, the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang are in urgent need of medicinal materials now, that...that..."

Gu Jian raised his eyes and glanced at him: "What is that?"

Dongli said bravely: "Miss Yan seems to have a lot of medicinal materials in her hands." At this point, he didn't dare to say anything.

The old man is very protective of his little ones, and Xiao Xiangyan is seeking death for Miss Yan’s things!

Gu Jian snorted and said nothing, but after Daohua sent Uncle and Nephew Ge Xun to the ship bound for Northern Xinjiang, he still mentioned the matter as if it was unintentional.

As for whether his apprentice would donate or not, he had no intention of interfering at all.

After Daohua found out, her mind started spinning, and she looked at Gu Jian with excitement: "Master, I heard that donating things to the imperial court will be personally commended by the emperor. Is this true?"

Gu Jian glanced at his apprentice and said strangely: "Do you really want to be praised by the emperor?"

Daohua nodded: "Of course." She paused and said, "You also know that the Yan family has little background. Being commended by the emperor can somewhat improve the Yan family's reputation among the people and officials."

Gu Jian understood what his apprentice meant. To be honest, he was not worried when he told Ye Yang about his apprentice. It was one thing for the two to have a good relationship, but it was another thing to have a different family background. If the gap between the two families could be narrowed,

That is of course the best.

Not to mention, it is really the fastest shortcut to improve your reputation.

"If you do something beneficial to the court, you will naturally be commended."

Daohua asked again: "Master, how much do you think I should donate? It would be best if the emperor could reward the Yan family with a memorial arch!" If the commendation was too small, she was afraid it would be useless.

Hearing this, Dongli and Caiju both looked over.

The archway is not an ordinary reward, Miss Yan really dares to speak.

Gu Jian looked at his apprentice silently, and after a while he asked: "How much can you donate?"

Daohua calculated silently, then stretched out her hand to sign the word "two".

Before Gu Jian could answer, Dongli took the lead and shook his head and said: "Twenty thousand stones is too little. This is no way to get the royal arch."

Daohua glanced at him sideways: "Who are you looking down on? What's 20,000 shi? It's 200,000 shi." As she said that, she looked at Gu Jian and said, "Master, is it enough? If not, I can add some food."

”

Gu Jian looked at the rice flowers blankly, took a deep breath, and asked doubtfully: "Do you really have two hundred thousand stones of medicinal materials?"

Daohua nodded: "Of course, there are all kinds of commonly used medicines. Is that enough? If not..."

If Gu Jian directly cuts off the rice flowers, the apprentice is too rich and his heart can't stand it: "That's enough."

Daohua looked overjoyed and said quickly: "Then I'll go and notify Yan Shouhou right away to prepare the medicinal materials!"

Seeing his apprentice running away in a hurry, Gu Jian looked at Dongli and Caiju who had not yet recovered from their thoughts: "This time I will write a letter to Xiaowu personally."

For two hundred thousand stones of medicinal materials, Xiao Wu must give the Yan family a memorial arch.

......

Dongli used expedited summons, and Gu Jian's letter arrived at the emperor's court a few days later.

Seeing the Yan family's donation of 200,000 stones of medicinal materials, the emperor suddenly stood up and shocked both Eunuch An and Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi who came to discuss state affairs.

The emperor walked around excitedly for several times before slowly calming down.

His uncle was indeed his lucky star. After Wu Jingyi raised money for so long, he only received tens of thousands of stones of medicinal materials. As soon as his uncle took action, he gave him two hundred thousand stones.

As for the Yan family who donated medicinal materials...

Two hundred thousand stones of medicinal materials were donated to the court when it was in urgent need. Even if my uncle didn't mention it, he would reward it well.

The emperor sat back on the throne, looked at Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi and said: "Yan Zhigao, the prefect of Ningmen Prefecture, donated 200,000 stones of medicinal materials. How should I reward him?"

Hearing this, Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi were surprised at first, and then their faces were full of joy.

With these two hundred thousand stones of medicinal materials, we can meet the medicinal needs of border officers and soldiers.

The emperor did not wait for the two people to answer, and asked An Gonggong to prepare pen and ink, and then wrote the word loyalty and righteousness: "The Yan family donated medicinal materials when the court was in difficulty. It is the home of loyalty and righteousness, and a memorial archway for loyalty and righteousness was specially given."
