Chapter 10 The Elixir of Plague

"All of them are genuine." The three appraisers have been appraising since noon until the moon is hanging high, and finally gave a positive answer. However, they also have some questions. These antiques look too perfectly preserved.

Yan Fei smiled slightly and had no intention of explaining, but just asked the company president next to him whether his collections could be auctioned here.

The president is British, with the same name as 007. Although he is British, he speaks fluent Mandarin very authentic, "Mr. Yan, although it is not the traditional spring and autumn auction season, we can hold a private collection auction for you. All fees are charged according to standard fees. I wonder what your requirements are?"

"First of all." Yan Fei put down the teacup in his hand and made his own request. "My collections can only be purchased by Chinese people, and I must agree to my requirement to buy back twice the auction price within two years and will not leave the country. Secondly, the auction funds for these collections must be transferred to my designated Swiss bank account."

James frowned and said, "There is no problem for remitting money to Swiss banks. If you can limit the buyer, the price may not meet expectations. Are you planning anonymous auction?"

"Well, anonymous." Yan Fei nodded. "It doesn't matter, I will take back these things in the future. Now tell me how much it costs to shoot?"

"In terms of price," James turned to look at the appraiser beside him.

"These Yuan blue and white pieces are blue and white porcelain bottles with blue and white inside, pastel outside, enamel, and gold drawing more than a dozen processes." Speaking of his profession, the appraiser's expression was obviously a little excited. "The single price is at least 50 million! If this set is sold, the estimated price is more than 300 million!"

"These snuff bottles are also royal items in the palace." The appraiser in charge of snuff bottle identification followed up and explained. "These things are rarely seen in the private market, and a single price starts at least one million."

The appraiser who identified the tea set couldn't put it down and picked up a teacup with yellow-bottomed enamel, red dragon, white cloud pattern, inlaid with golden silk, Fulu and Shouxi cover bowl, with a hot look as if he was looking at a peerless beauty. "If I read it correctly, this should be the work of Sun Chongyi, a famous craftsman in the early Ming Dynasty. This set of tea set is worth at least 50 million."

The estimated price of a set of blue and white porcelain vases, a set of tea bowls, and more than 30 snuff bottles is only 600 million to 700 million. This is much more convenient than Yan Fei's handling of heavy gold. It can easily operate the origin of the money clearly.

According to Yan Fei's plan, after the money is transferred to the Swiss bank's secret account, he will order a large amount of supplies from his own company in the name of his African bag company. After the money is transferred for a circle, it will become Yan Fei's legal property.

When Sotheby's was preparing for an auction and sending invitations to many wealthy people in Hong Kong, Yan Fei had already arrived in the Ming Dynasty time and space.

"What's going on?" It was just two days since I came here again. Yan Fei could clearly feel that the atmosphere around him was completely wrong. It seemed that the whole city was suppressed by the suppressed atmosphere covered with dark clouds.

Yan Fei appeared in his mansion in the capital city, and the person he asked was also the housekeeper next to him.

The servants in this mansion are all the original members of Mr. Chen’s family. They can live a life without being sold out without being sold, without worrying about food and clothing, and even have a status. These servants are absolutely grateful and loyal to Yan Fei.

"There is a plague in the city!" The pale butler said such a scary word tremblingly.

"Plague?" Yan Fei was a little confused. China in the modern world had never heard of this word for many years, and he could not react for a while. Medical technology in the modern world was developed, and China had not heard of such things for many years after it emerged.

"I got up two days ago." The butler with a goatee looked frightened. "I heard it was spread from the refugees in Nancheng. Now the whole city has been blocked. I heard that many cars will be pulled out to burn them every day."

Yan Fei frowned, then turned around and returned to his study, took out a laptop computer. After turning on the computer, he was going to Baidu to check the relevant situation. It was not until this time that he remembered that there was no Internet in the late Ming Dynasty.

"I'll go!" Yan Fei patted his forehead and went back to his home in the modern world. After surfing the Internet, he quickly found the relevant incidents.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, a large-scale plague broke out in Beijing. According to the information, this plague was very terrifying, and the entire Zhili was in a state of rampant plague. For example, Daming Prefecture, Guangping Prefecture and other places lost more than half of the population, and even the population losses in some places were as high as 90%.

Just talking about Beijing City, the information says that death is messy, nine out of ten families are empty. There are even many families who die without restraint. More than half of the soldiers were lost in the three camps, and even the original 20,000 to 30,000 war horses could be used in the end.

At least 200,000 people died of illness in the entire city of Beijing, which was almost one-fifth of the population. After this great plague, Li Zicheng's army arrived, and the Ming Dynasty, which was worried about internal and external troubles, was no longer able to resist.

"So serious?" Yan Fei turned off his laptop and looked puzzled. He really didn't expect that this plague would cause so much population to be lost in Beijing, and the Zhili area was even more than one million people died due to the plague.

A thought flashed through Yan Fei's mind. After opening the computer again, he confirmed that this plague was a large-scale plague. The plague can be effectively treated in the modern world, and it is enough to use a large amount of antibiotics and even adrenal corticosteroids.

On the one hand, it can save a large number of innocent lives, and on the other hand, it can use this to earn a lot of wealth from those wealthy families. Of course, this kind of thing must be done as soon as possible.

Plagues do not distinguish between identity and wealth. Whether you are a beggar who has no guarantee of three meals or a wealthy man in the world, they are treated equally in the face of death and plague. Yan Fei can treat the civilians for free, but if those rich people want to survive, they will have to spend a lot of money.

The most effective antibiotics for treating plague poison are gentamicin and tetracycline. These two antibiotics are extremely cheap, and a kilogram of raw powder is only a few hundred yuan. For Ming Dynasty people who have no anti-drug ability, it can play a huge role in any randomness.

In the name of export, he purchased a large amount of probiotic powder and a large number of disposable injection products from Alibaba and transported them directly to the warehouse. Then Yan Fei brought these things to the Ming Dynasty time and space to prepare to save the innocent civilians who died of the plague.

When we arrived at the military camp outside the south city, the atmosphere here was extremely tense. If it weren't for the rigorous training for a period of time and the treatment here would have been too good, the soldiers might have disbanded long ago when the plague broke out.

Even so, more than a dozen deserters still appeared. After all, the plague first appeared in the refugee camp outside the south city. They were so scared that they were dying.

"Send someone to catch them back." Li Feng's face was deep, and he ordered the people who were promoted to the people in front of him, "No one can be let go. I will give you three days. If you can't catch them, you will draw lots from among you to pull people out and push them to their heads!"

In any era, the most deadly existence of the army. One deserter can sweep away ten, ten deserters can sweep away one hundred, and one hundred deserters is even enough to completely disintegrate an entire army!

If deserters appear and cannot be dealt with seriously, the destruction of the entire army is right in front of you.

The officers who were recently promoted by Yan Fei were all in awe of their hearts. The military discipline clearly recorded that deserters were sentenced to death. If they could not be arrested, they would have to draw lots to replace them. Who would have been unfairly lucky?

Under this critical stimulus, the pursuit team burst out with unprecedented energy. Even before even a day came, all the escaped deserters were chased back.

All these deserters were caught in the camp outside the south city. Even if they escaped, they would not give up their families. This is why Yan Fei deliberately looked for those with families when he was recruiting people.

There is nothing to say about deserters, so I directly opened the execution ground in the center of the military camp and gathered the soldiers to watch the execution process.

Although the deserters cried and begged for mercy, they were useless. The firing squad still shot and executed the deserters. Similarly, the families of these deserters were also disqualified from military dependents, and there will be no free food from other subsidies.

Seeing the soldiers who were crying and begging being driven away in the cold wind, all the officers and soldiers who saw this scene were in a deep heart. This incident would leave a deep impression on them and have a long-term impact.

Next is the time to cure the disease and save people. The raw antibiotic powder is distributed bit by bit in a silver spoon to the disposable syringes, and then used for patients infected with the plague.

Modern medical technology is not a joke, it can really play a huge role. Moreover, people in this era have no resistance to antibiotics at all, and can easily cure the plague.

There are hundreds of thousands of refugees in the refugee camp outside the south gate. These people are all serious and poor families, not to mention paying medical expenses, they will not be able to eat enough without Yan Fei. Yan Fei never thought of making money from them, and they all had free trials.

A magic medicine that can save lives without charging money. As a large number of infected people who were originally wailing to die were cured, Yan Fei's reputation in the refugee camp was almost the birth of a Buddha. Every day, countless people crowded outside the gate of the military camp to thank Yan Fei for his life, and prayed that Yan Fei would give them a chance to die.

Such a big noise outside the city has been spreading the news to the city these days. Although curfews and martial law in the capital city were implemented and the city gates were closed, it could not stop the spread of the plague. Every day, a large number of people in the city die from the plague, and more people will be infected with the plague.
