Chapter 339 Suspicion
Dekang Imperial City.
"Your Majesty, my concubines have not dared to slack off for the past two days and have been keeping an eye on me. However, they have eaten and lived together for the past two days, but they have not been infected by the disease at all."
As if she had heard some great news, Concubine Chun walked into Emperor Dekang's chamber with a hurried and solemn expression.
In order to prove that the vaccine is indeed ineffective, she found two people who had not been infected with the epidemic and lived and ate with people who were infected with the epidemic.
But the final conclusion was so terrifying.
Su Manrong, the lord of Jinghua City, is so courageous. The Holy Lord has already valued and entertained her so much. She actually wants to take advantage of the natural disaster to deceive the court and earn dirty money.
"Perhaps the two people we are looking for are in good health and will not be infected at all?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Dekan put down the booklet in his hand and said with a livid face.
"That's it, I think the Lord of Jinghua City uses these odds to make money.
If those who have never been infected will not be infected after taking the magic medicine, then we will all think that the magic medicine is really miraculous.
But we don't know that some people won't be infected at all even if they don't use magic medicine.
The Lord of Jinghua City must know the details of such epidemics, so he would fabricate magic medicine randomly in order to defraud the imperial court of funds, and his heart is to be punished."
The pure concubine had a heartbroken look on her face, and she felt that it was not worthy of her to take the place of the saint.
However, I was very proud in my heart. After all, looking at His Majesty's ugly face, my words had at least shaken His Majesty's heart.
You must know that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and the relationship between the emperor and his ministers is very fragile.
If the Holy One were to be suspicious of Su Manrong, Emperor Sheng Kang's fear of the Xiao Mansion back then would be the same as the Holy King's fear of Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian now, and even more so of Qianzhou.
"Your Majesty, this is a booklet on all diseases that was interpreted by Dr. Qin and compiled by Third Elder Brother himself. It contains more than a dozen methods for the transmission and treatment of diseases.
Your Majesty can ask the imperial doctor to check it out. If it is feasible, he can print a brochure and advertise it widely.
In this way, when people discover an epidemic, they can respond in time without causing large-scale infection, and there is no need for so-called miracle medicine."
Concubine Chun felt that the heat was almost done, so she took out the book as if it were a treasure.
After Emperor Dekan asked the imperial doctors to review it, they all praised the details of this booklet.
"In this case, tell the Ministry of Revenue that there is no need to move treasury funds for the time being.
Let me first take a look at what the so-called miracle medicine is."
Emperor Dekan looked through the booklet that the imperial doctors had praised. It described how to deal with epidemics using fire, lime, traditional Chinese medicine, etc...
For these dozen of epidemic diseases, there has never been a treatment similar to the magic medicine.
Even these imperial doctors have never heard of the treatment method of filling the human body with water...
Emperor Dekang knew very well who Xiao Chengxian and Su Manrong were, and based on their personal relationship, he could not doubt their ulterior motives.
But he is the leader of a country and must consider the people of the country. The money in the national treasury is not the key to the problem, but whether the method of injecting water into the human body is really effective against the epidemic...
If Su Manrong simply wanted to make money for Qianzhou, even for the sake of the prince, he would find a way to make Qianzhou rich.
"Your Majesty, although Dr. Qin is a woman, she is young and promising and has superb medical skills.
Now that we have compiled such a detailed disease booklet, should we give it a reward?"
Concubine Chun stepped forward to ask tentatively. Xiao Chengxian even wanted to take Qin Zhen back, which showed that Qin Zhen's ability should not be underestimated.
"Of course I want a reward. But since she is with Third Elder Brother, we should let Third Elder Brother reward Dr. Qin generously."
Emperor Dekan nodded and looked at Concubine Chun in confusion.
"Okay, then I will write a letter to Third Brother to make sure he doesn't chill Doctor Qin's heart, lest Doctor Qin be taken back by Qianzhou."
Concubine Chun heard the answer she wanted, nodded, and prepared to leave.
"Are you being asked to go back by Qianzhou?" Emperor Dekang looked at Concubine Chun in confusion upon hearing this.
"Xiao Chengxian and Su Manrong once wrote to the third elder brother, saying that no matter what the third elder brother made, as long as they could send Qin Zhen back to Qianzhou, they were willing to exchange it."
The pure concubine explained with a harmless expression.
Of course, Xiao Chengxian never said that at all.
They didn't know what Xiao Chengxian's purpose was in asking Qin Zhen to go back, but since he had this intention, let his intention be infinitely magnified.
The more Qianzhou wants Qin Zhen, the more Emperor Dekang will doubt Qianzhou's purpose...
Qin Zhen had been away from Qianzhou for a while, and when she suddenly asked someone to go back, no one would believe her even if she said it was because of feelings.
Since it's not because of feelings, it's because he wants to kill people and silence them.
...
All the people in Qianzhou are busy at their jobs.
Some people are responsible for quarrying stones from the mountains, some are responsible for pounding the stones into pebbles, some are responsible for sorting construction waste and digging ramming trenches, and some are responsible for removing bricks.
Originally, Su Manrong wanted to buy some cement and stones from the space, but the cost was too high. Even if she had half of the national treasury...
However, it would be too wasteful to use this money to build houses. After all, the courtyards planned to be built in Qianzhou City are for transitional use.
She and Xiao Chengxian plan to give Qianzhou a new look within five years. In the first year, they may just follow the current system, eat from a big pot and earn work points.
After the courtyard houses are built and distributed to every household, the system will be reformed accordingly. Whether they can have enough to eat and wear new clothes will depend on the labor force of that family.
After two or three years of this, the gap between the rich and the poor has almost emerged.
The gap is a double-edged sword, which may allow some motivated people to find the direction and goal of progress.
It may also cause those who want to mess around to start messing around...
But society still needs to develop based on this experience, and this is the most appropriate.
Therefore, some of the courtyard houses in Qianzhou are built with wood and bluestone, and some are built with gravel and lime.
Anyway, a house like this is pretty solid and you can live in it for more than ten years, let alone three to five years.
However, it is very possible that within a few years, ordinary people will be able to earn enough money to renovate their houses.
At that time, they can also purchase homesteads, expand their living area, and slowly advance the involution...
"Madam, there is a group of refugees coming from outside the city. Do you want them to enter the city?"
Basically, refugees come to Qianzhou every day, so resettlement centers have been set up outside the city to provide temporary transition for these refugees.
After all, for the safety of the people in the city, Su Manrong did not dare to let stranger refugees into Qianzhou City.
"In recent days, Qianzhou has accommodated more than a hundred people. If it continues to accommodate refugees, I am afraid it will make people jealous.
