Chapter 780;

It must be done

"Because I was nearby, I went to the medicine shop in Xicheng. The prescriptions I took were not expensive medicinal materials. A pair of medicine costs only six or seventy dollars. I arrested six mates, a total of more than four hundred dollars. I think six mates should be cured."

Du Ruhui finished the medical treatment process and the expenses in one breath, and then closed his mouth and said nothing.

The entire Golden Palace was silent!

After a long time, Fang Xuanling interrupted the calm scene:

"The expense of four or five hundred yuan can cure a cold. This price is really not a big money for the Pushe in my dynasty."

As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Li Shimin, who was in charge, pretended to be angry;

"Fang Pushe, do you only have the prime minister of the current dynasty in your eyes?"

"Your Majesty forgive me, I haven't finished saying it yet..."

"Don't say it anymore. I don't want to hear you speak, step down."

"yes."

Fang Xuanling was turned away, pretended to be so aggrieved that he was so aggrieved that he stood back shaking his head.

Li Shimin was still angry and continued his performance half-true and half-false:

"There are indeed very few pillars that cured the imperial court, even for the seventh and eighth-rank officials of the imperial court, four or five hundred coins are not a big deal.

But for the people, four or five hundred yuan is a huge price, and the annual expenses of farmers and people are only this amount. Whose family’s head is willing to spend more than a year on a cold?

I guessed with my toes that when the people get cold, they just make ginger soup at home, cover them with a few thick quilts, and just hold them over. As the chief of the Ministry of Revenue, you, as the head of the Ministry of Revenue, have many contacts with the people and farmers. Can I say it accurately?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, what Your Majesty said is true. Most of the people's families are reluctant to go to the diagnosis and treatment. I said it is unpleasant. The people in our dynasty can only eat their fill last year, before..."

"If you continue to talk about state affairs, there is no need to be a taboo on anything. Anyone can say anything, and you are not guilty."

"Yes, thank Your Majesty for forgiveness. I report to Your Majesty, I am in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. I know the best in my heart that after Your Majesty's various top strategies, the people can have a safe meal and barely fill their stomachs.

In the past? Haha! Many people may not believe it. Every year, many people starve to death, every year, every year. His Majesty, that is, last year, His Majesty improved farming, and asked each county to build charity warehouses, and dug wells everywhere. He also taught farmers to build greenhouses to grow crops. After all, the people's families dared to eat three meals a day and have a full meal.

If it weren't for your methods, haha! The people in the world are still hungry, so why would you like to see a doctor and buy medicine?"

"Okay, okay, what's the matter in the past? Why do we ask? Can the people nowadays eat enough and not starve to death? Shangshu Changsun, just talk about what's happening today, don't talk about anything else."

How could Li Shimin be unhappy when Changsun Wuji made his past contributions in public?

On the surface, I blame Changsun Wuji for talking nonsense, but I feel so comfortable!

Changsun Wuji was scolded in public, his face did not blush and his heart did not beat:

"Yes, I obey the order. That is to say, this medical treatment is also a lice on the bald man's head. It's obvious. Your Majesty, how many days have you just had enough food?

I dare to take a few hundred dollars to see a doctor and buy medicine? How can the people have such a precious body? Let’s not talk about whether the neighbors are laughing at me, can he take out four or five hundred dollars? This is the most important thing, please give me a clear understanding of your Majesty.”

"Yes, what Changsun Shangshu said is true. How can people easily take out a few hundred dollars? Even if they can take out, they will never give up!"

The king and his minister were sighing, and Du Ruhui's throat scared everyone:

"His Majesty the Emperor."

"Well? Du Aiqing? I have something to say but it's okay."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I have other words to report. What Your Majesty has just heard of me is my medical treatment. When I went to see a doctor, I met a businessman who went to see a doctor. He was a merchant from Guanzhong who sold cloth. He also went to the doctor for treatment. I went with him to catch the medicine."

"Oh? My dear, what is the condition of that businessman in Guanzhong? How much does it cost?"

"If you say to Your Majesty, the merchant got up early and went to bed late in the early years and suffered from back pain, and from time to time, he had to go to a doctor for treatment.

This time, the minister encountered it. He did not mention where he spent it in the medical school, but only said that we went to Wang Shangshu's medicine shop to get medicine. He bought thirty pairs in total, and he had a total of one month's appetite. The little businessman dared not catch too good, let alone catch too expensive famous herbs.

It was just that, and each pair of herbs for back pain was 236 cents. The amount of 7 guan and 80 cents per month was vacancies. The medicine shop waived 80 cents a little. So he spent seven guans of medicinal materials to treat back pain this time.

I said these things are about to say that minor illnesses and disasters can be cured by a few hundred coins, but a few thousand coins are often the same as when people get serious illnesses and seriously ill. Can they have other ways to go besides waiting to die?

Some serious illnesses even require more than 10,000 yuan of burial medicine, are not just a slogan. If you don’t believe it, you can send someone to various major medicine shops to inquire, but there is a little bit of lies, and I will poke my neck when I go outside the Meridian Gate.”

"Don't be excited, I believe you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Du Ruhui said this, he gave a tribute and took a look at his old partner. Fang Xuanling understood and ran out again.

"Your Majesty, medicine is too expensive, people are too poor to afford it, they cannot afford it! This is a big deal!

The people in this world are your people. Your children, you cannot just care about the officials of the court, regardless of the lives of the people, Your Majesty!"

"Who said I don't care? Today I brought out the idea of ​​Duke Li County to discuss it, just to care about the lives and death of the people. Who dares to say that I don't care about the lives and death of the people? I will make the decision for the people of the world today and will never give him up easily."

"Your Majesty's wise!"

The eight important officials from the Qin Palace and some neatly shouted at the same time, all of which were the highest voices.

Some of the neutral officials followed suit, but the opponents, each of the talkative ones, made Li Shimin's face twitch again.

Du Ruhui glanced at Changsun Wuji, who raised his eyebrows, but he stood up straightforwardly;

"Your Majesty, I report to Your Majesty that the medicinal materials in the medicine shop are too expensive. You should agree and support the idea of ​​Duke Li County, come to set up a medical museum, recruit disciples, teach medical skills, and then cure diseases and save people, accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Your Majesty's virtue will be spread forever. Please allow your Majesty."

Li Shimin was about to agree while the conversation was a bit difficult, but the officials of the opposing factions immediately came to sing the opposite tune;

"Shangsun Shangshu, the medicinal materials in the medicine shop were also exchanged for money, not from the strong wind. Shangshu felt sorry for the poor people who couldn't take medicine. He should go to the merchants who sold medicine to clean up. Why did he get into the medicine shop?"

"Yes, yes, Changsun Shangshu put the cart before the horse!"

"Say it, isn't it? Why don't you tell me if you want to add a crime?"

"That's right, but if you arrest those medicinal vendors, you can beheaded or exterminate the clan. Who told them to sell them expensive?"

Li Shimin was in a good mood these days, and in one hour he got angry and looked at his head coldly with a dark face.

Changsun Wuji is not a bully, nor is he without ability. He immediately retorted:

"Dear colleagues don't have to put my hat on me, let alone speak sarcastically. Although I have not interfered in the sale of medicinal materials, I am in charge of the Ministry of Revenue.

I understand clearly that the money and food affairs of the world and the affairs of the people are indeed more expensive, but their prices can be accepted by people.

Where are the medicine shops at home? How many more prices will be sold? Do you still need to tell me about it?"

"Sir Su!"

"The lower-ranking official is here, the Minister please give me instructions."

"Tell Your Majesty the tax money paid by the medicine dealer from Chang'an City this month, and then add the tax money paid by the medicine shop, and make it clear and clear, don't make up the questions, so as not to know how to settle the accounts deliberately, and talk nonsense again, refusing to admit it!"

"Only! Respect the order of the Shangshu."

Changsun Wuji called out that this person was not an ordinary person, but a member of the Ministry of Revenue who specializes in the coordinated management of tax collection.

He is familiar with tax revenue. He can memorize it without taking this book. He has a good memory, so he was called out to destroy the market by Changsun Wuji. Of course, this is also one of the eight important officials present in the Qin Palace today, and he is not afraid of offending others.

"I report to Your Majesty the Emperor, I am in charge of the tax payment of medicinal materials in the four cities and two cities of Chang'an City. I have not brought an account book today, and I cannot tell the tax and principal of the specific medicinal materials. I can only truthfully report the total number of merchants and medicine shops. Please forgive me."

"Well, I don't have to worry too much. No one can remember the price and cost of the hundred medicinal materials. It is already rare to remember the total number. I don't have to worry, but just don't talk nonsense."

"Abide by the order!"

After the talker, Yuanwailang agreed to the emperor, he looked up at the roof, thought for a while before speaking:

"Since Wang Shangshu is talking, let's start with the medicine shop of Wang Shangshu's family."

"Last month, on the Gengyin day, Guiwei, a Northeast medicine dealer went to Wang Shangshu's house and sold three herbs for 16 guan and 730 guan. According to the laws of our dynasty, the sale of medicinal materials is not in the ranks of 30 taxes, and the ten taxes and one system is used.

Therefore, the tax collection of the Ministry of Revenue is 1,673 cents. I still remember this amount because the drug dealer complained about a few gossips when he paid the tax, and was written into this book by the person below.

"Oh? Which official is responsible? My dear will reward him with some money when he turns back. The court needs a lot of serious officials like this!"

"Your Majesty is wise. After you go back, you will refer to Your Majesty's opinions and reward him with one hundred dollars as encouragement, so that everyone in the future will follow suit. In this way, the errands of the Ministry of Revenue will definitely be done more accurately."

"Great Shan, I wonder what the few gossips written in my book of my dear?"

"If you say to Your Majesty, this book is on my desk. I can arrange for someone to leave it to Your Majesty to check it out. It says that the medicine dealer outside the pass sighs,

We worked hard for a year and ran for thousands of miles to sell, and got more than a dozen stagnants of silver. Although it was not a small amount, compared with your medicine shop, it was really in the sky and the ground.

With more than a dozen medicinal materials, you can actually sell four or five hundred coins. I really don’t know how many people in Chang’an City can afford it?”

"Is it four or five hundred coins? Humph! Is Wang Aiqing's medicine shop doing a good business?"

Wang Shangshu, who had always voted against Li Yu's medical school, glared fiercely at the Ministry of Revenue officials who were talking, and changed into a bitter expression;

"Your Majesty, my family's medicine shops are all in charge of the affairs. I am busy with responsibilities and have to teach my descendants to cultivate virtue and self-cultivate to repay the monarchy. I am really negligent in discipline. I immediately investigate and deal with it after I go back. If such a huge price difference is really a bit unfair to those medicine dealers."

Li Shimin didn't say a word, but just looked at his head coldly.

Changsun Wuji pulled the clothes of his subordinate officials, and the latter immediately understood;

"Shangshu Wang, what you said is not beautiful to a drug dealer. If you only give 500 trump cards, you can give them more than a dozen trump cards. This is really unfair."

Shangshu Wang didn't dare to continue talking randomly, and just lowered his head to ponder, for fear that if he said something wrong, he would be caught by these dogs from the Qin Palace on the spot.

Seeing a minister being slapped by himself, the Minister of Revenue smiled relaxedly;

"The officials are very interested in how the people spend this 500-ton silver coins. Shangshu, there are also some servants in our Ministry of Revenue who sprinkle water and sweep the floor. They are considered to be the family of the people. The officials think they can't afford the 500-ton silver coins. Do you think they are?"

Seeing Deli's subordinates appearing in the limelight, Changsun Wuji answered the words proudly;

"That's right! I know a lot about those families who are in charge. Not to mention five hundred stakes, but not a hundred stakes. I guess I spent a few hundred stakes to buy some old ginseng from the Northeast, right?"

"The Shangshu is very good, and he can guess it. It is the ginseng farmers coming from the northeast. If the medicine dealer buys it, of course it will cost a few more cents of silver. However, the ginseng farmers will sell it themselves and only have to be bullied."

"Oh, I remember that last year, Duke Li County bought three or five old ginseng to go to Queen Xiaoshu. Is this a matter?"

"If you go back to Shangshu, there is, the Duke of Li County bought the old ginseng for the fourth time. Although the things were not bought and sold in the medicinal materials shop, they were the shops of Cui from Qinghe, which made a bridge.

The Duke of Li County gave the filial old ginseng to His Highness the fourth time, and the tax money collected by the lower officials himself had traded a total of 170,000 guan. According to the system of 10 taxes for medicinal materials, the lower officials collected 17,000 guan.

After Changsun Wuji's subordinates finished speaking, they turned their heads to look at another old man who had been opposing him;

"Shizhong Cui, you haven't forgotten the money you have entered and exited in your own pharmacy, right?"
