Li Yuanchang was trained by Du Shaoqing and Emperor Li Er. In order to be able to deal with it calmly this day, this guy has put a lot of effort into it.

During this time, he took out a booklet from his body again, and opened it and started to read it under the attention of everyone.

"Scutellaria baicalensis, this is a very common medicinal material in medicine shops and is very commonly used by doctors. It has grown in all states in the north, and even in Jiannan Road.

According to my investigation, in the season, a medicinal farmer can collect two large bundles of Scutellaria baicalensis in a day. How much is this? After the medicinal rhizome is prepared, it will be counted as twenty kilograms.

And how much is the value of this medicinal farmer’s hard work to deliver to the pharmacy?

According to investigation, Cui's Luoyang Pharmaceutical Shop in Qinghe gave farmers fifteen cents of medicine, less than one pound of a penny."

Li Yuanchang looked at Cui Yanxiong from the Cui family in Qinghe with sarcastic sarcasm.

The old man snorted coldly: "Today's Tang Dynasty is in its prime, and five cents are enough for a family to eat and use every day. We offer a price of fifteen cents. Is it less?"

Well... If you count this way, there are a lot of things. Qinghe Cui is quite kind, and many people nodded and praised in a low voice.

Li Yuanchang mocked: "A medicinal farmer has worked hard for a day, but you offer fifteen cents? How dare you boast about being generous?

I don’t know about it, but the labor workers in charge of transporting nowadays are responsible for transport at the construction site in Chang'an City. They pay a monthly fee of about 35 cents a day, and the construction site also manages food and drinks, and eat meat for one meal a day."

hiss……

There was a turmoil in the hall, and it was indeed no comparison and no harm. Are the hard laborers at the Chang'an City construction site so high? Then aren't other people rushing to work?

"Okay, the wages of the medicine farmers will not be mentioned.

Let’s talk about the price you set when Scutellaria baicalensis arrived at your pharmacy. I wonder if this Acting Chief Cui dares to say it in person?” Li Yuanchang asked.

Cui Yanxiong said with a dark face: "I am in charge of so many people in the Cui family, how can I know the specific price of a medicine? Don't let me spend time with you, King of Han."

"Okay! Let everyone open their eyes today!

In Luoyang Cuijia Pharmaceutical Store, when selling medicinal materials to the people, the price of Scutellaria baicalensis is - one qian, one qian." Li Yuanchang said loudly.

What???

The Tai Chi Hall was boiling in an instant.

According to the pound, one pound is equal to ten taels, and one pound is equal to ten coins. The price of Cuijia Pharmaceutical Store is a hundred times the profit. This is too, too...

Everyone is not stupid. Who can’t calculate such a simple account? Everyone was surprised and had their own thoughts. Most of them were jealous and thought that it was so profitable. No wonder the five surnames and seven hope families are getting more and more expensive?

Du Shaoqing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but he didn't know if he didn't look at it. He was shocked when he saw it. It was too dark. He thought that he had made a silk for gold and had a profit of 100 times that was the peak, which was enough for him to brag about.

But now, when compared with others, it is simply a witch. I can only go outside to cheat the money of foreign nobles. It’s better for them to blatantly collect the wealth of the people in the Tang Dynasty. It’s amazing!

I……

I……

Cui Yanxiong wanted to say something, but after saying the word "I", he was really unable to argue, leaving only that pale old face.

Li Yuanchang continued: "A hundred times the profit? Haha, good means!

Everyone, this is just one of the medicines, and in a pair of medicines, there are as few medicines as few as dozens of medicines, and even dozens of medicines. In this way, how much does a pair of medicines cost? I'm afraid it won't work if it's more than ten or twenty cents.

The wages of that medicine farmer’s day are not enough to buy himself a pair of medicine for curing diseases. Let me tell you, are you benefiting the people? Or are you harming the people?

If this person dies because you set a price of medicinal materials and can't afford it, will it have nothing to do with your pharmacy?"

Me, I...

"Coincidentally, I sent someone to investigate this. In Luoyang, at least a dozen people with miserable lives died in a year. Do you dare to bear their grievances?" Li Yuanchang questioned, and looked at Cui Yanxiong at the same time, making the old man feel ashamed.

Someone next to him couldn't see it and said, "It can't be calculated like this. The medicine must be used to add the needs of the store, the medical expenses for prescriptions with the doctor, etc...."

"Okay, you are all birds of a feather, there is no need to argue. Although the other pharmacies in your other pharmacies are not as expensive as Cui's, the cheapest one is only 70% of his. Do you think you have the virtue to argue for him?

Please ask how much money the imperial doctor in the Imperial Palace Hospital pays for a month? Do you dare to say that it contains medical expenses?

Shameless!"

When Li Yuanchang talked about his anger, he couldn't help but curse. The man couldn't argue and could only bow his head and say nothing.

The old man Cui Yanxiong could no longer bear such humiliation, and vomited blood in the hall and fainted on his back.

Li Er took a deep breath and then uttered a few words: "Carry it out and send it to the hospital.

Lao Qi, continue to say.”

Hum? Everyone looked at the emperor, thinking that something was wrong, Your Majesty was about to get angry.

Li Yuanchang felt a little embarrassed: "Brother, I just read one of the medicinal materials in the Cui family's name in Qinghe. It's just one medicinal material. Three books are recorded here. Now Old Man Cui vomits blood and hides..."

OK, Li Yuanchang also knew that he had made adjustments. He was splashed with dirty water. Cui Yanxiong was obviously unbearable to be humiliated and vomited blood and fell into a coma. How about you? In a word, it was defined as deliberately avoiding disasters?

Li Erqiang suppressed his anger and said, "If you change to other medicinal materials, the account of the medicinal materials is related to the safety of the people, and you will slowly settle it with him."

Who knew that Li Yuanchang put down the book and spread his hands: "Brother, it's not just that. In addition to medicinal materials, there are also mulberry silkworms, silk, cloth, grain, and even salt and iron. Each one is related to the safety of the people. I..."

"Remember!" Li Er interrupted directly.

So Li Yuanchang picked up another booklet again and said loudly: "Fan Yang Lu's car trip..."

One by one, one by one, each family was proclaimed about a business and the disasters caused by the family in the Tai Chi Hall.

The entire Tai Chi Palace can be heard silently.

Everyone stopped looking at Li Yuanchang, but lowered their heads. Did they look up and glance at the emperor Li Er above? Everyone could feel that there seemed to be a fire burning more and more vigorously there.

However, Li Er was an emperor who was a rare emperor in his generation and did not immediately occur.

After a long time, Li Er suddenly laughed in fear, and the laughter made his scalp numb.

"Haha, okay, very good. This is what you are saying about circulating the world's wealth and benefiting the people's livelihood and the country? A thousand-year-old family? A existence that the people admire?"

The few tribe leaders below were really as if they were in a slight way, and they were complaining in their hearts. Although they were not afraid of Li Er breaking up, the feeling of being humiliated in public was really bad.

At this time, Li Yuanchang shouted indignantly: "Brother, stop talking nonsense to them. In my opinion, these people are the culprits who harm the country and the people. What is the benefit of the people? It is simply a vampire who exploits the people!

Today, while they were all there, they took them down and put them out of the door and beheaded the public, which was also considered to be a way to eliminate the harm for the people.”

What???

Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, King Han had such a thought? How dare he?

Seeing this, the civil and military officials could not sit still, and finally someone stood up and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, although this matter sounds unacceptable, it has been like this for thousands of years throughout the ages, and the people have reached a consensus. I think that right and wrong still need to be controversial."

"Okay, Wang Si, you dare to show your eyes for the evil people? Go out and see what the people say? What consensus? I'm afraid it's not the consensus that several big families have monopolized the economy of the court." Li Yuanchang cursed angrily.

"Hmph, I am dedicated to the country, so don't slander the King of Han." Wang Si's face did not change his expression.

Others also stood up to echo the support.

At this time, a patriarch stood up and questioned: "A thousand words are said, and His Highness the King of Han simply means that our various industries are unreasonable in pricing goods.

But I want to ask the King of Han, is this really true when you keep upholding justice for the people?

Then why did people from the Du Family Chamber of Commerce immediately come after your justice and immediately seize the business that you smashed?"

Um???

Li Yuanchang didn't expect that someone would dare to fight back.

Another person continued: "I heard that King Li Yuanchang of Han was the leader of the demolition brigade of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce in private. I don't know whether it is true or false. Moreover, you suppressed so many businesses but paved the way for the Du Family Chamber of Commerce. Do the people know this?"

"Yes, yes, the King of Han is unfair. Wouldn't this be used to eliminate dissidents?"

...

The Tai Chi Palace was once again in chaos. If you look at it like this, it would be suspicious that King Li Yuanchang of Han had tormented such a big scene.

Many people were originally moved by the righteousness of the Han King, but after seeing the inside story, they scoffed at it and secretly cursed the world with another hypocritical hypocrite.

Li Er asked calmly: "Lao Qi, what are you explaining?"

Li Yuanchang said disdainfully: "Brother, I am only focused on eliminating harm for the people, and I don't know anything else."

"Du Shaoqing, let me tell you about the matter about the Du family chamber of commerce, is there any such thing?" Li Er turned to look at Du Shaoqing.

After watching coldly for a long time, it was finally his turn to take action. Du Shaoqing stood up and even stretched his waist, as if he didn't care that it was in the Tai Chi Hall, which made many people dislike it.

Du Shaoqing said: "Yes, this is indeed true!"

"The prince-consin is careful. You said that, but did you admit that the embezzlement of other people's store industries together with the King of Han? It would be better to make it clear." Wei Zheng reminded.

"Wei Zheng, don't remind me that this is in the Tai Chi Hall. As the chief of the Censorate, can you dare to be favored?" Wang Si asked.

Without waiting for Wei Zheng to refute, Du Shaoqing waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't be nervous. I, Du Shaoqing, don't do anything bad, and are not afraid of slander.

Don’t you just want to know why my Du Family Chamber of Commerce opened stores in various industries and took over the moneyed businesses?

Although this is a business opportunity, I might as well tell you about the matters in the main hall today."

Li Erdao: "This is the Tai Chi Palace Grand Court meeting, don't be so arrogant."

Du Shaoqing finally straightened his clothes, bowed to his father-in-law, then turned around and said aloud: "The reason why our Du Family Chamber of Commerce did this is because of the needs of the people.

Because so many stores were criticized by the people, people would have to close their doors, but there would always be someone doing this business that would circulate the world's wealth. Otherwise, where would the people buy medicine? Where would they use cars and horses, and buy clothes...

So when the people have demands, we must stand up soon to share the worries of the people. Of course, it is also because the people trust us."

"Hmph, I don't believe it. As soon as our store closed, you will open the store. If such an action was not carefully planned and prepared, it would never be possible." A patriarch stood up and retorted.
To be continued...
