Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 1575

The prince did not think it was expensive at first. 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 only costs six cents, do you know how many medicines we have to administer out of Guangjing?"

  Man Bao shook her head, how would she know?

  She is not a county magistrate.

The prince said: "There are 334,670 households in the capital, a total of 920,000 people. Of these 920,000 people, only one-third of them come to receive heat-relieving medicine. It also takes three hundred and six thousand seven hundred doses, and one dose costs six cents. How much have you calculated?"

  Man Bao stayed for a while and said: "One hundred and eighty-four thousand two hundred words..."

   was trying to tell her the amount of money he had calculated so easily. As soon as Zhou Man said it, he paused, raised his eyelids and looked at her, "You do it quickly."

  He said: "This is just to count the population of the capital, and this time the severely affected places are in the areas of Yongzhou and Shangzhou..."

  Of course, the combined population of the two states is not as large as half of the capital, but the cost is still not low, because there is still freight.

  So much money, at this moment they have to prepare a portion of the money for the relief of the subsequent drought.

  Man Bao stood there, counting with his fingers, and sighed, “It’s not easy for your majesty and Liu Shangshu.”

  Prince...

  His father is not easy for him to know, but what is it about Liu Shangshu?

  Although he is in charge of the treasury, the treasury really has no money, and his father can't cut him off, right?

  He felt that besides the emperor, he should be the most difficult one, because obviously, this time the emperor left the relief work mainly to him.

  The prince who rarely worries about money also started to worry about money now. He asked Man Bao, “Do you have any cheaper prescription?”

Man Bao directly shook his head, "The two prescriptions that Xiao Yuan is giving are really the cheapest prescriptions for relieving the heat and the epidemic, but there is another drug that may be more effective, using atractylodes, tangerine peel, magnolia, and Angelica dahurica. Poria, Poria, Sheng Banxia, ​​Huoxiang and Perilla. This is a good recipe, but it’s a bit more expensive than the recipe prescribed by Xiao Yuanzheng."

Prince   : "The lonely question is about cheap, not expensive."

   "That can't help but look at the effect of the medicine."

  The two of them stared at them, and the prince became a little unhappy, and waved: "Okay, it's useless to find you. Go down and call in Xiao Yuanzheng and Doctor Liu."

  Man Baodi pulled his head and went out, and said to Xiao Yuanzheng and Liu Taiyi who were waiting at the entrance of the Piandian: "His Royal Highness is asking you to go in."

  Just quietly told Xiao Yuanzheng that the prince really trusted Zhou Man's doctor Liu, when she saw her leaving with his head, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuanzheng.

  The two of them just wanted to stop her and ask about the situation. Duke 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 Wu Gonggong to meet the prince.

  Man Bao returned to Chongwen Hall, just when he met Bai Shan and the others after class. Seeing her frowning, he stepped forward and asked, "What are you thinking about? You can't answer."

  Man Bao said: "I just knew that it turned out that only one party had such a cheap heat-relieving medicine and the court was too poor to get it out."

   "What kind of anti-heat medicine?"

  Man Bao told her in detail about the prince looking for her, and then said: "I'm racking my brains now, is there any prescription that costs less than six cents?"

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

  Bai Shandao: "Poor people, let alone six pens, there are some who can't get a penny."

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

  Man Bao nodded repeatedly, "Moreover, it is human nature to be greedy for cheap. If there are free heat-relieving medicines, why don’t they receive them?"

  Anyway, if it were her father and brothers and sisters, they would definitely get them, so the supply was really let go. His Royal Highness might not be enough to prepare according to one third of the population of the capital.

  Man Bao was in distress, but Bai Shan asked after thinking for a moment: "Listen, this is everyone needs to take medicine?"

   “No, it’s too hot now, to prevent heatstroke from getting sick,” Man Bao said, “especially people who are still running around in this kind of weather, they carry fever to some extent.”

  Bai Shan said: "But there is always a priority when you get sick, and the prescriptions are the same? Are you planning to use the same prescription for all?"

  Man Baodao: "When they take this medicine, as long as they don't take other medicines, it will be fine. Even if they are not so sick, there will be nothing wrong with taking it."

   She said: "This is the easiest way to prescribe a decoction that everyone can drink, otherwise it will really pull us out for medical treatment and prescription, then the cost is really big."

  Bai Shan asked: “Can’t it be graded? For example, drink a prescription for mild illnesses, take a few medicines less, drink another prescription for more serious illnesses, and receive the prescription according to the illness.”

Man Bao thoughtfully touched his chin and thought, "You are right, like you, even if you feel thirsty and hot, you don't actually need to drink too much medicine. Use Centella asiatica to make some concoction. That's it."

  Man Bao came out of Ji Shitang. I remember that when she was a child, she even sold Centella asiatica to Ji Shitang for money.

  The Centella asiatica is sold by catty, how much money does it cost per catty?

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

Man Bao began to calculate in his heart, "If a single detoxification and heat-reducing medicine is boiled, it is indeed cheaper and more convenient, but how to ensure that the person who receives the medicine honestly receives a single Centella asiatica instead of a prescription? "

  Bai Shan also started to think, and Bai Erlang scratched his head and said, “Just like porridge, the yamen cooks the medicine and distributes it?”

  Bai Shan pointed to the big sun in the sky and asked him, "Will you pick up the potion against such a big sun?"

  Man Bao couldn't help but burst out laughing, and he was afraid that he would faint before receiving the medicine.

   Shirajiro asked, "Then what do you guys say?"

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

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

The princess’s belly is getting bigger and bigger. Man Bao hasn’t visited her for a few days. This time he touched her fetal position and found that the fetal position was a bit wrong, but the problem was not big. Man Bao taught her a few movements and asked her to Practice your fetal position every day.

  The princess was a little nervous when she heard that her fetal position was not correct, "Will there be anything wrong?"

  Man Bao comforted her and said: "There will be nothing wrong, but there will be a slight error. The child will always move in the mother's body, so the fetal position is slightly abnormal. Just a little exercise can make the child straight."

  The princess was relieved when she heard it.
