Wu Youke was not an official after all. Although he was a senior official in the second rank of the ministry, at the Royal First Hospital, he had always done research and prevention and control of plagues, focusing on academics, and was not familiar with the officialdom. He had only been in the officialdom for a few years. There was no other way in a fry like Qiu Maohua who had been struggling in the officialdom for decades.

Moreover, Wu Youke also knew that although Qiu Maohua was just the prefect of Shuntian, he had a close or far relationship with the senior officials of the six departments of the cabinet.

So, now seeing the prefect of Shuntian Qiu Maohua denied him, there was nothing he could do, and he was at a loss for a moment.

"Prince Qiu, you must understand that the control of the cholera epidemic is not only my Wu Youke's business, but also your Shuntian Mansion. Now there are more and more people who are infected with the disease. If they are not controlled, then your Majesty will not be the only one who will punish me. You, Prime Minister Qiu, cannot escape the relationship, so you, you, cannot ignore the Prime Minister Qiu."

Wu Youke was also anxious at this time, so he had to take out the Emperor Zhu Youxiao to threaten Qiu Maohua.

Qiu Maohua bullied Wu too straightforward and simple. He slapped the table directly and shouted with a timid voice: "When will the Xiaguan not care about this epidemic? Shangshu Wu, you can't swear! Your Majesty had already stated a few years ago that all the medicinal materials in the world are under the control of the Imperial Pharmacy and the Ministry of Health, and even the raw pharmacies in various places must be approved by you to operate it. You are the largest medicinal materials merchant in the world, but you find a small official who only cares about a few ordinary people to ask for medicinal materials. Where do you ask the Xiaguan to find it for you? What imperial pharmacy directly allocates the medicinal materials to me Shuntian Mansion. I think it is also an excuse that you, Shangshu Wu wants to fill your own bags and find it for yourself!"

"You!" Wu Youke didn't expect that the Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister Qiu Maohua would slander him directly. He was so angry that he was so angry that he could not help but point at Qiu Maohua for a long time and couldn't speak. He just said: "The father-in-law in the palace is not fake. Prefect Qiu, I don't know why you refuse to admit that this batch of medicinal materials are here. However, since you say that, you can directly submit a memorial to His Majesty the Emperor to impeach me!"

"This is a joke. Shangshu Wu, you are a celebrity around His Majesty. How dare the little Shuntian prefect, the governor of the lower government, impeach you? Unless the lower government does not want to wear a black hat on his head."

Qiu Maohua couldn't help but sneer, and said sarcastically Wu Youke.

As a righteous and upright person who is sitting in a stern manner, Wu Youke naturally couldn't stand Qiu Maohua slandering himself so much, so he became even more angry: "Master Qiu, what do you want, just say it, okay, since you say that to me, Wu, then I, Wu, took off my black hat and reported to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to remove Wu from his position. Wu is willing to continue to be a rural ward!"

"Why would the Secretary of Wu dare to stop him? But I asked Mr. Wu to not mention him when he resigned from his resignation. Mr. Wu wanted to do more for the court for a few years. If Mr. Wu let him go, the official would remember Mr. Wu's kindness for the rest of his life."

Qiu Maohua was very happy. He was able to resign and retire in just one or two words, which undoubtedly completely satisfied and relieved his jealousy. He really hoped that Wu Youke would resign directly and not do it.

As a pure-minded doctor, Wu Youke has a natural sense of fraternity and has no desire to take revenge on Qiu Maohua, but he couldn't help but snort.

...

However, at this moment, the voice of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Guo Yunhou came from outside, and only Guo Yunhou could shout: "What's going on? Why are you two quarreling?"

When Qiu Maohua saw that Guo Yunhou was coming, he hurriedly ran over, and blamed the servant for not informing the Secretary of the State in advance.

Guo Yunhou also pretended to be generous and stroked his beard and said, "Don't blame them. I told them not to make any noise. I came here to personally hand over the new 300,000 Tongzhou tax silver from the Ministry of Revenue to your Shuntian Prefecture. I will follow Your Majesty's order to use this as your Shuntian Prefecture to fight the epidemic, and then continue more funds."

"Your Majesty loves the people as much as his son. My subjects in the capital are so grateful!"

Qiu Maohua ohed a few times and knelt down directly in the direction where the Forbidden City was, and kowtowed a few times.

"Hmph, false thoughts!" Wu Youke saw that the Minister of Revenue Guo Yunhou had also come, so he couldn't help but feel some confidence and said to Guo Yunhou: "Guobutang, please give me some evaluation. Your Majesty issued an order a few days ago to ask the Imperial Pharmacy to use a batch of temporary storage of medicinal materials to relieve the plague, but the father-in-law of the Imperial Pharmacy said that this batch of medicinal materials was directly given to the people of Shuntian Prefecture. Now that the officials are here to ask for it, the Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister Qiu Maohua did not retreat."

"I'm wronged, Guo Butang. You have to make the decision for the officials. The officials didn't see half a piece of medicinal materials entering the Shuntian Prefecture. There are no medicinal materials from the imperial pharmacy. But this Shangshu Wu secretly ignored the imperial court's medicinal materials, but now he came to ask the officials for help. This is to force the officials to the dead. It's not worth mercy to die, but this injustice must be revealed!"

As Qiu Maohua said that, he simply knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head, making him look extremely aggrieved.

Wu Ke saw that he acted like this, and couldn't help but feel very angry and shouted angrily: "Qiu Maohua, Guo Butang is here today, so you don't pretend to be pitiful here! Has this official swallowed the imperial medicinal materials and money? Of course, there will be a censor who impeached the people from the East Factory to investigate. Now you are sitting on the verge of watching a large number of people die of cholera, and you are the real culprit!"

"Okay!"

Seeing this, Guo Yunhou, the Minister of Revenue, simply became a peacemaker. He held Wu Youke's hand: "Yuke, Wu Youke's real name is Wu Youxing, and his name is Youke. Because everyone is familiar with Wu Youke, he is called Wu Youke here directly. Now is not the time to fight for these things. Now it is urgent to control the epidemic. You must know that this is the capital. Your Majesty is in this city. If the plague is a big deal, Your Majesty will be in danger, so you must pay attention to it. But you are quarreling here now, which is useless!"

As he said, Guo Yunhou said, "For the sake of the present, we can only find a way to re-raise such a batch of medicinal materials in this way and quickly take it out to rescue the people. I happened to know a medicinal material merchant named Landuo. This person happened to have medicinal materials for preventing and initial treatment of Vibrio cholerae infection. So you can use the 300,000 silver escorted by the official to find the merchant of Landuo to buy a batch of medicinal materials first to help you solve the urgent needs. How about it?"

After Guo Yunhou said that, Wu Youke had to nod and said yes, but he couldn't help but bury: "It's really a lack of human heart to swallow elephants. Even the people's life-saving medicine is going to swallow. It depends on how many days you can jump around."

"Shangshu Wu was joking. The officials are not grasshoppers and they can't jump around. And the officials will sooner or later step on you and can even let you go to the imperial prison because you are not worthy of being in the ministry! The officials dare to bet that you will be dismissed earlier than the officials!"
