Yu Wenhao comforted her like this, but in fact he knew well that the capital city has a large population. If the medicines in the area are sold out, then the nearby state capitals will continuously supply them to this big buyer. After all, they are 20% higher than the market price. , everyone wants to make money, so there may not be enough local medicine to supply to the capital.

Purchasing so many medicines in such a large amount is not a small expense, at least tens of millions or even more. There are businessmen who can hoard them and sell them at higher prices when the plague breaks out. There were people like this in the DPRK in previous years. , but the court's crackdown is not small. These people are punished with heavy fines and severe punishments. The deterrent force is there, but it does not rule out that there are also people who want to take risks and make a fortune.

Especially when the court seems to be in chaos now, it is not surprising that some businessmen want to fish in troubled waters and make a fortune from the national crisis.

Moreover, now that the Northern Tang Dynasty has opened up trade with the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Dayue Kingdom and the Daxing Kingdom have gradually signed a policy for the exchange of goods. It is possible for merchants from other countries to come to the Northern Tang Dynasty to make a fortune, and then return in exchange for large quantities of goods or gold. possible.

But no matter what, this matter was carried out secretly and quietly, which shows the scale of the plan. Hong Lie must be involved in the conspiracy, at least he cannot be excluded.

The next day, Yuan Qingling took this list of medicinal materials and went to the medical school to see her grandma. She is the authority in traditional Chinese medicine.

After reading it, Grandma Yuan frowned deeply and said: "These medicines can be used to treat influenza and common colds, and several of them are the most effective for upper respiratory tract infections, as well as antipyretic medicines. On the list, girl, these medicinal materials are indispensable in this season. We have to ask people to find ways to buy them. Not to mention other places, in our medical school alone, several students have had fevers and coughs recently. Fortunately, They are available in medical schools. If you can’t buy them outside, colds are easy to deal with. It depends on your own resistance and you will get better in a few days. Flu is not suitable. You must take medicine for influenza. This season is also the peak period for influenza.”

"Are there any other medicines that can be used instead?" Yuan Qingling mainly wanted to ask about this.

Grandma was dumbfounded for a moment and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that this place is backward and the transportation is not developed."

Yuan Qingling said comfortingly: "Don't worry about this, Lao Wu will take care of it. They have collected these medicines and must be looking for a place to store them. If you find a place to store the medicinal materials, you can bid to buy them back. If they are not allowed to buy them back,
