"Buzz, buzz, buzz", the merchants were talking.

Li You said: "Dear shopkeepers, I strongly support business and work hard to improve my business status. However, it is not possible to rely on my own efforts.

The low status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and merchants is also related to the behavior of our merchants. Some merchants hoard goods regardless of the interests of the court and the people, making money, and making money from the country. This behavior is indeed despicable.

Now, I can tell you that although the plague is about to end, a large number of medicinal materials from other places will also arrive in Chang'an. However, the court still needs your help.

Currently, there are quite a few people suffering from illness in Chang'an. If they can be treated in time, most of them will survive. This requires drug treatment. However, there is a lack of medicinal materials now.

You have medicinal materials in your hands, but the price is too high, and the people cannot afford it, and the court cannot afford it. On the other hand, you cannot sell it. In this way, you cannot make money and many people will die in vain. Why bother?

I tell you that the prescription for treating plague was developed by myself, and you all know its value."

Pharmaceutical merchants are all experts, so they naturally know that this prescription is precious, and it is a treasure that cannot be exchanged for thousands of dollars.

Li You said: "For the sake of the people, including your life and death, I have donated it to the court for free."

The merchants were touched, and many of their families were also infected with the plague, which was cured by this Yinqiao Powder.

The drug dealer Liu Kan stood up and bowed and said, "Your Highness, Cao Min's mother and young daughter were infected with the plague. She was rescued all thanks to your medicine. Thank you."

Then, several businessmen also came out to thank Li You.

When Li You saw the time was coming, he said, "I understand the truth. I have two suggestions.

First, in order to protect your interests, you will sell the medicinal materials in stock at 10% higher than the usual price and the imperial court will purchase them all.

In this way, you not only guarantee your interests, but also save the lives of a large number of people. Your achievements will be of great significance. The court will remember your achievements, and the people will remember your kindness.

Everyone should cherish their reputation.”

The merchants were already moved. But no one took the lead, and everyone was still hesitating.

Li You continued: "The second suggestion. There are some people among you who are unscrupulous and do not save you when you die. I am not afraid to tell you that for the benefit of the people and for the stability of the court. I will lead troops to search the houses of those unscrupulous merchants, or even kill people.

Even if this is illegal, I have to do this. At worst, I will lose my life."

Yuchi Gong was so excited that he pulled out his waist knife with a "cang" sound, and said loudly: "Including me, Yuchi Gong. Your Highness, with your order, I will immediately lead my troops to arrest people and search the house."

If it were normal times, Wei Zheng would have opposed their actions. But now, he didn't say a word.

Now, the drug dealers were shocked. Li You was a good person, and Yuchi Gong's reputation was also very terrifying!

Pharmacy Liu Kan said, "Your Highness, you don't need to do this. Your prescription saved my family's life and you still think about us, the grass people. If the grass people are still indifferent, it would be too ungrateful.

Caomin is willing to sell all herbal medicines at a fair price.”

"The grass people are willing."

"The grass people are willing."

Businessmen expressed their opinions one after another.

When Li You saw that the matter was done, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay. You cherish the people and understand the difficulties of the court. The court will not treat you badly.

On behalf of Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your patriotism. I announced that I will recruit your children in the newly established technical school of the Institute and will be able to hold corresponding official positions after graduation in the future.

As for the price of medicinal materials, I will not let you suffer any losses. Just increase the price by 10% as I said. There are benefits for you in the future.

However, it is too late for the government to buy it separately, so you can send it directly to the Imperial Hospital and the Ministry of Revenue will settle it for you on site."

"Okay, the grass people will do it right away." The merchant stood up and said.

Li You said: "Thank you all the shopkeepers. After the plague, I invite you to visit the mansion."

The merchants are gone.

Wei Zheng and Yuchi Gong went to the Imperial Hospital, waiting for the merchants to come to deliver medicine, and left.

Now only Li You and Li Chunfeng are left, and they walk towards the study together.

Li Chunfeng asked, "Your Highness, which day will it be sunny?"

Li You said: "I don't know, but it will definitely be a sunny day in 3 days."

Li You said so surely because he checked the information and had no direct evidence. However, he found it in a log of Jingzhao Prefecture, which recorded a fire in Chang'an, which was recorded as a sunny and hot day. The time was 3 days later.

Moreover, based on the original investigation of "time epidemics, emperor worries." Li You inferred that the plague disappeared quickly. There was no other way in ancient times. It should be that there was a dry weather that caused the plague to disappear naturally.

Li Chunfeng was very puzzled and didn't understand what Li You came to the conclusion based on, that is, to predict the weather, why can only predict the third day, but the previous ones cannot predict it?

He couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, how did you infer it?"

Li You asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or the lies?"

Li Chunfeng said: "Of course it's the truth."

Li You smiled and said, "I guessed it. I think the rainy weather has lasted for a long time, and it's time to be sunny."

"Ah? You guessed it. What if it's not accurate?" Li Chunfeng said worriedly.

"No, I didn't say anything about this sunny day, but I didn't say anything about it." Li You smiled.

"Your Highness, aren't you cheating people?" Li Chunfeng complained.

Li You smiled and said, "Does there be such a saying in Taoism that it is said that if you die, you will not die?"

"No, absolutely not. Even if there is, it should be a fellow Taoist who is immortal." Li Chunfeng said.

Li You smiled and said, "Well, it's not bad, the realm is really high, so if you don't predict accurately, it's your problem, it has nothing to do with me. Haha."

The two of them were joking while walking.

Imperial Hospital.

Wei Zheng and Yuchi Gong stood at the gate of the yard, waiting for the merchants to come to deliver medicine. Gao Jingming also came with officials from the Ministry of Revenue and rushed over with money boxes when he heard the news.

Wei Zheng was a little nervous, wondering if these merchants would break their promises. As a result, a drug dealer came in a carriage, and then the merchants all came here one by one.

The drug problem has been solved.

Wei Zheng, Yuchi Gong and Gao Jingming were very excited and went into the palace to meet Li Shimin together.

Liangyi Hall.
