Chapter 339 Action
Lin Chuyi and Ping'an did not notice the rich psychological activities of the two servants. After they followed the steward to move into the new residence arranged for them, they asked the steward to take away the maids and servants who were arranged to serve their daily life.
After everyone in the courtyard left, Lin Chuyi closed the door, sat down at the table, and poured a cup of tea for himself and Ping An.
Ping An was quite dissatisfied with Meng Heshan's behavior. "This Liuzhou governor is really a jerk. He insisted that we stay here. If we really want to leave, he can't stop us even if he calls all the soldiers in the government office."
Lin Chuyi didn't care about this matter. "He is a governor after all. If he was fooled by a few words, then there would be a problem. After he tries the medicine, he will know whether what we said is true or not. It's not worth getting angry over such a small matter. We haven't had a proper rest for a long time. We can just take this opportunity to relax."
After listening to Lin Chuyi's analysis, Ping An felt that what Lin Chuyi said made sense, so he stopped worrying about it.
He picked up the hot tea that Lin Chuyi poured for him, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then stood up and went to the small courtyard to practice swordsmanship in order to further improve his proficiency in various moves.
Lin Chuyi, on the other hand, chose to stay in the house, leisurely sipping the fragrant tea and enjoying the exquisite and delicious snacks, while skillfully sliding the operating panel in front of him, constantly expanding the usable area of the space and upgrading various factories to further increase the daily income of the space.
Lin Chuyi was calm and composed, but Meng Heshan was a completely different person. He couldn't calm down and concentrate on dealing with things at the moment, and kept pacing back and forth in the front hall.
After asking the doctors what he wanted to know, Meng Heshan did not tell them the real purpose of the two prescriptions, but asked them to go back and wait for notification. If there is a need in the future, the government will come forward to call on all the major pharmacies to work together to make medicine.
The doctors came in bewildered, and left with doubts. When everyone had dispersed, Meng Heshan immediately called his confidants, told them to deploy manpower to strengthen protection, and sent someone to escort the bottle of medicine for treating smallpox to Yongning County.
Make sure the patient takes the medicine personally, and then pay close attention to the patient's reaction after taking the medicine. After an hour and a half of observation, the person sent must return here to report the observation in detail.
At this moment, the medicine has been sent to Yongning County by a special person. Next, just wait patiently for the results. However, this is a long torture for Meng Heshan.
After many years, he once again felt the feeling of passing a day like a year. Two short hours seemed to him like several days, making him restless and tormented.
Finally, the confidant lived up to expectations and returned with the results of his observations. Meng Heshan wanted to summon the person inside, but suddenly thought of something, paused for a moment, and changed his mind. He directly asked the confidant to stand outside the door to answer.
The confidant himself was afraid of contracting the terrible smallpox, so when the people he sent out came back to report the news, he didn't dare let anyone get close to him for fear of being infected. However, he never expected that he would be the one to be disliked so soon.
Although he felt uncomfortable, the confidant quickly regained his composure and began to report in detail the observations he had just made. When he learned that the medicine was indeed effective and the effect was immediate, Meng Heshan was overjoyed and said "good" three times in a row.
He strode to the table where the medicine bottles were placed, picked up another bottle of preventive medicine, and held it tightly in his hand, as if hesitating about something.
After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. He squeezed the bottle cap open, carefully poured out a pill from it, put it in his mouth and swallowed it without hesitation.
Then he put the lid back on, handed the bottle to his confidant, and explained to him the efficacy and usage of the medicine.
Meng Heshan asked his confidant to take one pill himself, and also sent one pill to the person sent to Yongning County.
Seeing that his master had taken the medicine, the confidant naturally had nothing to be afraid of and immediately swallowed a pill in front of Meng Heshan.
After watching his confidant take the medicine, Meng Heshan urged him to return to Yongning County together with the people who had been sent out to investigate the situation, and closely observe the subsequent reactions of those who took the medicine.
Once any abnormal situation is discovered, it is necessary to report back immediately. After the confidant received the order and left, Meng Heshan immediately sent someone to find the doctors who had just entered the mansion, gave each of them a pill as a sample reference, and then sent someone to find the person in charge of the pharmacy to which these doctors belonged to come to the mansion.
While waiting for people, Meng Heshan was not idle either. He summoned other officials from the government office to find out how much silver and money the government office could mobilize at the moment.
After Meng Heshan understood the situation, he already had an idea in his mind. At this time, the leaders of the major pharmacies had also arrived at the mansion one after another.
When Meng Heshan met the people, he went straight to the point without hesitation and told all the people in charge of the pharmacy that the reason for the blockade of the entire Yongning County was because a smallpox patient had appeared there.
Before these people could panic, Meng Heshan dropped another bombshell piece of news: the prescription he showed the doctors was for treating smallpox.
Not only that, Meng Hetang also made it clear that the government is willing to pay for all the costs of making medicine, and only hopes that these pharmacies can work together to make medicine for the sick people and save the people of Ning'an County from dire straits.
When the leaders of the major pharmacies first heard that a cure for smallpox had been found, they immediately wanted to refute it, believing that it was pure nonsense and simply impossible to achieve.
However, they soon realized that the person who said this was the most important official here, so they silently shut their mouths and did not dare to interrupt easily.
They all knew very well in their hearts that even if they pointed out that the so-called smallpox treatment recipe was fake, it would not change the governor's determination to produce large quantities of the medicine.
The governor of a state came personally and asked these pharmacies to help make medicine to save lives. How could they refuse?
Just for the governor to say a few words, they had to invest a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources. This business was a huge loss for them.
But what can ordinary people like them, who have no power or influence, do? There is nothing they can do except to obey.
All the bosses present, no matter what their opinions were on the matter, or how much resentment and resentment they harbored, did not dare to show the slightest expression on their faces, and had even mentally prepared themselves to be severely slaughtered by the governor.
But what was unexpected was that they then heard the prefect say that he would be responsible for all expenses in the pharmaceutical production process.
Doesn't this mean that they no longer have to bear the cost of large quantities of medicinal materials themselves, and can just arrange for the doctors and shop assistants in their own pharmacies to concentrate on making medicine?
And from what the prefect said, it seems that even the labor costs required for the entire pharmaceutical process will be paid by the government.
This was completely beyond their expectations, and made them feel a little ashamed of their previous malicious speculations about the prefect.
Someone immediately stood up and said loudly: "The purpose of our Jishan Hall is to cure diseases and save lives. It is our honor that the government can think of our Jishan Hall when the people of Yongning County are in trouble. We are willing to stand up and contribute a little to the pharmaceutical industry."
After the first person stood up to express his opinion, there was soon a second, a third... Finally, among the eight pharmacies present, five chose to participate in the production of pills without hesitation.
After careful consideration, the other three companies still felt that this matter was not reliable and ultimately did not participate in the pharmaceutical production. However, they also clearly expressed their willingness to donate some of the medicinal materials to express their concern and support for this incident.
Meng Heshan did not force the three leaders to join, but after they left, he quickly began to assign medicine-making tasks to each pharmacy.
He knew that time was running out and he had to race against time to produce the first batch of pills, which would not only relieve the painful symptoms of those infected with the disease, but also provide sufficient evidence to prove that the drug was indeed effective.
Only in this way can we convince the military generals who will arrive tomorrow and buy more precious time for subsequent treatment.
