Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The prince thought it was not expensive at first, and Xiao Yuanzheng also mentioned the unit price of the medicinal materials, but just now they calculated the number of prescriptions needed.

He said, "Even if a dose of medicine is only six cents, do you know how many medicines we have to dispense out of Guangjing City?"

Man Bao shook his head, how could she know?

She is not the county magistrate.

The prince said: "There are 334,670 households in the capital, totaling 920,000 people. Of these 920,000 people, only one-third of them came to receive heat-relieving medicines. It also requires 366,700 doses, and a dose of medicine costs six cents, how much do you calculate?"

Man Bao paused for a while and said, "One hundred and eighty-four thousand two hundred..."

Just as he was about to tell her the amount of money he had managed to calculate, he paused as soon as Zhou Man said it, raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "You count fast."

He said: "This is just counting the population of the capital, and this time around Yongzhou and Shangzhou have been severely affected by the disaster..."

Of course, the combined population of the two prefectures is not as much as half of the capital, but the cost is still not small, because there is also a shipping fee.

With so much money, they still have to prepare a part of the money and grain for the relief of the subsequent drought.

Man Bao stood there and counted his fingers, sighing, "It's not easy for Your Majesty and Liu Shangshu."

Prince...

It's not easy for his father to know, but what's the matter with Liu Shangshu?

Although he manages the treasury, the treasury really has no money, and his father can't cut him, right?

He felt that apart from the emperor, the most difficult thing should be him, because obviously, this time the emperor mainly entrusted the disaster relief to him.

The prince, who seldom worries about money, has begun to worry about money now. He asked Man Bao, "Do you have any cheaper recipes?"

Man Bao shook his head directly, "The two prescriptions that Xiao Yuan is giving are really the cheapest prescriptions for relieving summer heat and epidemics, but there is another one that may be more effective, using Cangzhu, tangerine peel, magnolia, and Angelica dahurica. , Poria, Sheng Banxia together with Huoxiang and Perilla, this is a good prescription, but it is a little more expensive than the prescription that Xiao Yuan is making."

Prince: "What I ask is cheap, not expensive."

"Then you have to look at the efficacy of the medicine."

The two of them stared at each other, and the prince was a little unhappy. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's useless to find you, you go down and call Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Liu in."

Man Bao walked out with his head drooping, and said to Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Doctor Liu who were waiting at the entrance of the side hall: "His Royal Highness asked you to come in."

Just quietly telling Xiao Yuanzheng that the prince really trusts Zhou Man, Imperial Physician Liu sees her walking away with her head drooping, so she can't help looking at Xiao Yuanzheng.

The two of them just wanted to stop her to ask about the situation, but Eunuch Wu had already come out and invited them into the hall with a smile.

The two looked at each other and could only go in with Eunuch Wu to see the prince.

When Man Bao returned to Chongwen Hall, he happened to meet Bai Shan and the others after class. Seeing her frowning, he stepped forward and asked, "What are you thinking, you should not speak up."

Man Baodao: "I just found out that it turns out that the imperial court is too poor to come up with such a cheap heat-relieving medicine."

"What anti-heat medicine?"

Man Bao explained in detail about the prince's search for her, and then said, "I'm racking my brains now, what kind of recipes are still less than six cents?"

Bai Erlang on the side said incredulously: "It's only six cents, can't you afford the money for a meat pie? You still have to get a heat-relieving medicine from the imperial court?"

Bai Shandao: "The poor family, don't talk about six cents, there are some people who can't get a penny."

He said: "In this kind of thing, we should not save others by ourselves."

Man Bao nodded again and again, "And it's human nature to be cheap. If there is a free summer medicine, why don't they get it?"

Anyway, if her father and brothers and sisters-in-law were to get it, they would definitely go to get it, so if the supply is really released, it may not be enough for His Royal Highness to prepare according to one-third of the population of the capital.

Man Bao was distressed, but Bai Shan asked after thinking for a moment, "What do you mean, does everyone need medicine?"

"No, it's too hot right now, it's to prevent heatstroke and epidemics," Man Bao said, "Especially people who are still running around in this weather, and they have some heat poison on their bodies."

Bai Shan said: "But there is always a priority for getting sick, and the same prescription is prescribed, right? Are you planning to use the same prescription?"

Man Baodao: "As long as they don't take other medicines when they take this medicine, there will be no problem. Even if the disease is not that serious, there will be no problem with eating it."

She said: "This is the easiest way. Prescribe a decoction that everyone can drink. Otherwise, if we really drag our imperial physicians out to see doctors and prescribe them, then the cost will be really big."

Bai Shan asked: "Can't you be graded? For example, if you are mildly ill, you should drink one prescription and use less herbs. If you are more seriously ill, you should drink another prescription, and get the prescription according to the disease."

Man Bao rubbed his chin thoughtfully and thought, "You're right, like you, even if you feel thirsty and hot, you don't need to drink too much medicine, just boil some concoction with Centella asiatica and drink it. That's it."

Man Bao came from Ji Shitang. I remember when she was a child, she even sold the Centella asiatica to Ji Shitang and sold it for money.

That Centella asiatica is sold by the pound, how much is it per pound?

In this world, there are many medicinal herbs that have the same effect as Centella asiatica, and they grow everywhere in the wild.

Man Bao began to calculate in his heart, "It is indeed cheaper and more convenient to boil a single type of detoxification and heat-relieving medicine, but how can we ensure that the person who receives the medicine will honestly receive a single Centella asiatica instead of the prescription? "

Bai Shan also thought about it, and Bai Erlang scratched his head and said, "Just like porridge, the yamen boils the medicine and distributes it?"

Bai Shan pointed to the big sun in the sky and asked him, "You go to get medicine under such a big sun?"

Man Bao couldn't help but burst out laughing. He was afraid that the potion had not yet been received, and the person would have fainted first.

Bai Erlang asked, "Then what do you say?"

Bai Shan had to go to class, so he said, "Don't you still have to see the crown princess? You go to the palace over there first, and we will discuss it when we come back."

Man Bao nodded, went back to the room to collect the medicine box and then went to Daming Palace.

The crown princess' belly was getting bigger and bigger. Man Bao didn't come to see her for several days. This time, she touched the fetal position and found that the fetal position was a little wrong, but it was not a big problem. Man Bao taught her a few movements and let her Practice correct fetal position every day.

When the Crown Princess heard that the fetal position was not right, she was a little nervous, "Will there be something wrong?"

Man Bao reassured her and said, "It will be alright, but there is a slight irregularity. The child will move constantly in the mother's body, so it is normal for the fetal position to be slightly irregular. Just a little exercise can make the child straight."

When the Crown Princess heard this, she felt relieved.
