The road to becoming a god through the Red Mansions

Qin Keqing's expression changed, and she was ecstatic in her heart. It really is this, Quinine!

Zhao Qiang noticed her expression, thought it was curiosity, and then continued: "It turned out that some workers on the ship got malaria because of the unacclimatized environment and the bad weather. Probably not."

"Who would have thought that when we landed on the shore that day, the little one and Liu Si went to buy some useful things, and the people were kind, and when they saw them, they gave the tree bark ground powder. The little one thought that It’s some kind of earthen house in the local area, but at that time, dead horses were used as live horse doctors, so I didn’t care about that much, and I fed them and ate them, and they were all right after two days.”

Youshi was shocked when he heard this, Huo De stood up and said in surprise: "This, this, is it really so?"

No wonder Youshi was so excited. Malaria was a very dangerous disease in ancient times, and it could easily kill people.If the newly discovered "Quinine" really has miraculous effects and can be spread, it will definitely be a great merit for living people, and even today's saints will not be stingy with rewards.

Zhao Qiang nodded again and again. Qin Keqing naturally knew the usefulness of this "quinine". In modern society, it has a more famous name, Cinchona Cream, and it is indeed a special medicine for treating malaria and fever.It's just that this cinchona is native to the Americas, but why do we see its plants in the south now? Could it be that those navigators have now extended their tentacles to that magical land.

Qin Keqing thought secretly in her heart, she still had a look of surprise and surprise on her face, but seeing You Shi was very excited, she had to say: "This medicine is really miraculous, but we need to be more cautious to see if it is good for everyone. It all works, or is it just a coincidence. You must know that you have never seen such a magic medicine before, and if you take it out rashly, everyone will be happy when the disease is cured. If there is something wrong, it is our sin."

Only then did Youshi calm down, and praised: "What you said is reasonable, I just lost my mind. It's just how to test this medicine. I'm afraid it's hard to win people's trust for such a strange thing."

Qin Keqing smiled slightly, and spoke soothingly: "There is a pharmacy in my dowry, and there are a few doctors in the shop. In my opinion, choose a loyal and capable one, find a poor family who can't look down on diseases, and make it clear to them in advance. , if we can bear the risk, we will treat them with this medicine; if we think it is not good, we will naturally have nothing to do with each other. What does Madam think?"

Naturally, Mr. You had nothing to do, and entrusted Qin Keqing with full authority over this matter: "You have always been successful in doing things, and I have nothing to worry about. It's just a word, don't be careless, and you must find someone you can trust. You need to sign an agreement in advance, and you can't fail to take credit for it, but you will be charged with crimes instead."

"What the wife said is, the daughter-in-law will remember it, and she will definitely not be greedy for merit."

Suddenly another maid came to report, saying that Brother Ye woke up and cried.Hearing this, Youshi didn't want to watch the excitement here, and was anxious to see his grandson get up and leave.

Qin Keqing also wanted to visit the cheap son, but Zhao Qiang was still here, and Qin Keqing couldn't just walk away after he made such a contribution.And she still had some other things that she didn't ask clearly, so she asked patiently: "Is all the quinine bark that Mr. Zhao brought back here? If you go again now, you may find the quinine bark that was sent to you back then." Where is the medicinal material? And how many people who took this medicine back then came to the capital with our boat?"

Seeing Youshi leave, Zhao Qiang behaved more naturally. Hearing Qin Keqing's question, he replied without hesitation: "The quinine tree is known as a sacred tree in the local area. Back then, the people on the island only gave us a tree. It’s just a small bag, there’s nothing superfluous. I thought the bark was magical, so I followed the local priest quietly to find the tree’s location and secretly took some.”

"It's just that there are not many trees in that area, and I dare not take more, for fear that the locals will find out. Later, we changed the place to stop the boat, and everyone went to the island to search for it. It took seven or eight days to find it. , Only then did I find a dozen or so trees. I picked up the branches that did not hurt the roots and took some. There were only three boxes in total, and I sent one box to my house, and the other two boxes, together with the wood, were placed in your village in the suburbs. Go up, send brothers to guard, no one else will have a chance to get close."

Qin Keqing was very excited when she heard the words, if such a subordinate was not for the sake of the original owner's cheap father, how could it be possible for her to use it and make a lot of money.She almost couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart, but she still held back and said to Zhao Qiang: "Mr. The big box is enough for a doctor to experiment."

"Everyone has worked hard this time. When I set sail, I said that meritorious deeds will be rewarded. Now you have not only made meritorious deeds, but also made great achievements." Qin Keqing turned her head to Baozhu and said, "You Go and get the little box made of gold silk and sandalwood in my house, and the set of face masks that Lian's second grandma gave you yesterday."

Baozhu went away in response, and Qin Keqing continued to say to Zhao Qiang: "The workers on our ship are paid 20 taels of silver each, the manager is paid 50 taels of silver, and the captain and you are each paid 100 taels of silver. I remember that there is a girl in Mr. Zhao's family. I should be 12 years old. It just so happened that I took away the hooded face a few days ago. It is pink, cute and light, and it is suitable for little girls to wear. You can bring it to her for me. By the way, please ask my wife, let her come to us when she is free. Go around the house and talk together."

Zhao Qiang didn't want to accept it, but he was afraid that Qin Keqing would be angry, so he took it in a hurry: "Please rest assured, master, I will definitely tell the brothers about the grace of the master. We also received wages when we went to sea, and the price you paid is better than others It's [-]% higher, and now it's such a generous reward, we are really ashamed to receive it."

Qin Keqing only smiled slightly, and said softly: "Everyone is risking their lives to gamble, so it doesn't matter if I contribute ideas and money. It's getting late, and Mrs. Sister-in-law is still waiting for Mr. at home, so I won't leave Mr. here in vain. You I and the boatmen had a good rest for a few days, and when I tested that the quinine was effective, maybe everyone would have a great fortune.”

Zhao Qiang didn't say much when he heard the words, he stood up and bowed to leave. He also had to gather the people on the boat, hand out Qin Keqing's reward, and beat those people along the way to make them more loyal.

After sending Zhao Qiang away, Qin Keqing found another maid to deliver a letter to Mr. Li's residence, asking him to meet at Hefeng Tower after the court tomorrow, and to discuss important matters.Although she said in front of Youshi just now that she would try it out, the effect of this golden rooster cream will be seen by all in later generations, and it is absolutely trustworthy.

That being the case, she can't be contaminated too much, and it's better to send it to today's hands as early as possible, but it's a pity that the boatmen she carefully selected will probably all be taken away by the saint.But there is something to be gained, she gave up Jin Jishuangna and so many confidantes, the saint must at least give her a princess, this is a fair deal.

Li's family was about to have dinner when they heard the concierge report that the maid of Grandma Rong from Ningguo's mansion had come and begged to see Mrs. Li.Mr. Li and his wife looked at each other. In the past, Qin Keqing never took the initiative to contact them. Today, for some reason, she sent a servant girl to come in late at night, ordering someone to come in and talk.

After Baozhu was led in by the servants of Li's family, she didn't look around, but bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, master and madam."

Mrs. Li didn't speak, but Mrs. Li called out, seeing that this maid was Qin Keqing's personal maid, she couldn't help feeling a little worried, and hurriedly asked: "But what happened to your grandma, why did you come here at this time?"

Bao Zhu hurriedly said: "Nothing happened, it's just that the sea boat sent by our grandma returned yesterday and brought back many strange things. Grandma thought about the young ladies and young masters in the house, so she asked the servant girl to bring them to her." It's just for fun at home."

After Baozhu finished speaking, she lifted the small box she was holding in her hand, and a nun from Li's residence hurriedly reached out to catch it.She went on to say: "Our grandma said that this time the boatmen discovered something very important, and they need to have an interview with Mr. Li. The relationship is very important. Please, Mr. Li, take the time to meet."

Mr. Li stroked his beard, thought for a while, and remembered the insinuations he had made some time ago, and nodded in agreement: "After tomorrow, the old man is free. I wonder when and where your grandma will meet?"

"Our grandma said to look at your schedule, she is waiting for you in Hefeng Building."

"So, tomorrow is over, and the old man must go to the appointment."

Baozhu got Master Li's permission, and she had successfully completed the task, so she wanted to leave immediately.Mrs. Li rewarded her with a purse, and ordered the maid beside her to deliver it to the gate, and she must not be neglected.

After Baozhu left and waved away the servants who were waiting on the left and right, Mr. Li said to Mrs. Li: "I don't know what that person found. He is so anxious to see me, I'm afraid it's something serious."

Mrs. Li was a little worried. After hesitating for a moment, she still whispered: "Master, logically speaking, we have done our utmost to that one. You and those others were the ones who saved her life and raised her in secret. She grew up and found such a good marriage for her..."

Master Li's face darkened, but because he and his old wife have supported each other for many years, he didn't utter any bad words.

Even though Mrs. Li saw that her husband's complexion was not good, she still bit the bullet and said clearly: "Even though that Highness was kind to you and promoted you back then, after all, it is now the world of today's saints. You are so Behavior, if someone finds out, and a memorial is impeached in the court, our whole family will be dead. However, sister and brother An are still young, but please take care of them for the sake of their siblings. Think twice."

Mr. Li sighed deeply, and he no longer concealed it from his begging wife: "I suspect that he already knows the identity of the Ningguo Mansion."
