Chapter 110 The words are unfounded
"Okay, since you are willing to join us, come and buy herbs with me."
Shen Yuyao was a little absent-minded, and said lightly: "It's just that, Ninth Brother, words are not enough, you and I need to sign a document."
"Otherwise, if you say I deceived you someday, we won't even be able to be relatives, and that would be bad."
Shen Yuyao picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"Okay! Okay! Of course. Even though we are brothers, we still have to settle accounts clearly." Prince Lu nodded desperately.
As soon as he heard that Shen Yuyao agreed to let him join in purchasing medicinal materials, he was overjoyed and didn't think about anything else.
"Fourth sister-in-law, these are all the banknotes in my Prince Lu's Palace. Give them all to you, Fourth sister-in-law."
As he spoke, Prince Lu took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Shen Yuyao.
At this moment, all in the eyes and mind of King Lu was the enormous wealth that would come in a few days.
Shen Yuyao counted the money in person and found that there were more than 200,000 taels.
Xia Yu was dazed. Didn't they say yesterday that Prince Lu's Mansion was extremely poor? How come more than 200,000 taels came out today?
It seems that Prince Lu's Mansion is really wealthy.
How did the King of Lu amass so much wealth?
Xia Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"I am Xia Wei, the Prince of Qingzhou. I voluntarily hand over the 220,000 taels of silver notes from the Prince Lu's Mansion to the Princess Ning to purchase medicinal materials for epidemic prevention and control."
"Princess Ning has full authority over the specific purchase matters. I have no objection! Signed, Xia Wei."
Shen Yuyao read the statement written by Prince Lu, then turned to Prince Lu and said, "Ninth brother, if you have no objection, please sign and seal it."
"Before signing, Fourth Sister-in-law, ask one more time."
Shen Yuyao said seriously: "Ninth brother, are you really willing to use all your money to buy medicinal herbs?"
"You must really be willing! Sister-in-law, I trust you to do the job."
"No regrets?"
"Never regret it!"
"Your fourth brother can testify here that I did not coerce you."
Shen Yuyao confirmed again and again.
"That's natural!"
Prince Lu quickly signed his name on the declaration, pressed his fingerprint, and said anxiously: "Okay, now that I have signed, Sister-in-law, please quickly exchange it for medicinal materials. If you are late, the price will have skyrocketed!"
"Okay, go back to Prince Lu's Mansion. I will explain to you when I'm done."
Shen Yuyao's expression was still calm and composed.
After Prince Lu exchanged some polite words, he took his leave and returned to his palace.
After Prince Lu left, Xia Yu said solemnly: "Yuyao is confused! This money is absolutely not acceptable!"
Xia Yu didn't want King Lu to see that he and his wife were estranged, so he remained silent.
After all, it seems that Shen Yuyao still has the initiative in this matter.
Shen Yuyao looked at Xia Yu in the direction of the voice. Her eyes, which were as dark as the stars in the dark night, now looked like a bottomless pool, which made people feel cold just by looking at it.
If it were someone else, Shen Yuyao thought, Xia Yu would probably have already wanted to kill him.
Shen Yuyao looked at Xia Yu carefully again.
Prince Ning Xia Yu, the person she was once obsessed with.
In the eyes of the world, Xia Yu always has a face as cold as a thousand-year-old cold pond, as if the whole world owes him something.
In fact, Xia Yu has a natural compassion for those who are truly poor.
He was ruthless and cruel on the battlefield, but kind-hearted in his daily life. Especially when it came to the sufferings of the common people, Xia Yu could always empathize with them.
Shen Yuyao thought, no wonder the Black Dragon Guards' intelligence said that Yanjing, the fiefdom of Prince Ning, had become the fiefdom with the largest influx of population in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The emperor was also quite surprised by this.
He also sent a special message to Shen Yuyao, asking her not to cover up for Xia Yu.
How is it possible to whitewash it?
Shen Yuyao wanted to hide Xia Yu's edge.
Think about this.
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly and said softly to Xia Yu: "Your Majesty, I only said that I would use silver to buy medicinal herbs. I never said that the purchased medicinal herbs would be sold to the people at a high price!"
Ok?
What do you mean?
Shen Yuyao looked at Xia Yu, whose momentum had obviously weakened, raised her eyebrows and smiled softly: "I love money, but I get it in a proper way and use it to accumulate virtue."
Xia Yu also seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but curl his lips, "Lu Wangfu was in chaos yesterday because of our little fairy."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I think after some time, the women in the inner courtyard will naturally calm down."
is not that right?
In a few days, Prince Lu's Mansion will be so poor that it will have to sell its underpants. Who will dare to have the energy to jump around and cause trouble for Prince Lu?
"Yuyao, what are your plans regarding the medicinal materials?"
Xia Yu frowned slightly. He remembered the Qingzhou report from the post station in the morning, which stated that a large number of infected people had been found in Qingzhou City.
In just one day, no less than ten people died of severe illness, and hundreds of people developed severe illness from mild symptoms.
I’m afraid the existing medicinal materials in Qingzhou won’t last more than five days.
"Your Majesty, the most important medicine for the epidemic in Qingzhou now is the indigo root."
Shen Yuyao said slowly: "Yesterday, I sent a letter to the shopkeeper Fang of Jingrentang and the shopkeepers of each branch, asking them to purchase a large amount of blue root. I am worried that some unscrupulous businessmen will take advantage of the opportunity to hoard it!"
"As for the vassal states adjacent to Qingzhou, I have also asked Jing Ren Tang to purchase all the stocks of blue root at a high price."
Qingzhou City borders three vassal states, namely Xijing of the King of Qin, Yanzhou of the King of Jin, and Youzhou of the King of Qi.
Shen Yuyao's Jingrentang actually already has branches in these three places.
This also surprised Ning Wang Xia Yu.
If you think about it carefully, it is really unfathomable that Shen Yuyao was able to make plans ahead of others even though she herself had been infected with the epidemic.
Xia Yu's beautiful eyes narrowed, and once again, he felt that he couldn't see through Shen Yuyao.
Is this still the eldest daughter of the Duke’s Mansion who was obsessed with Xia Yu?
Yes and no!
"The epidemic in Qingzhou has spread, and trade between the various prefectures is very frequent. I am worried that it will eventually spread to Yanjing, so..."
Shen Yuyao paused for a moment, "So, apart from the three territories adjacent to Qingzhou, I have also ordered people to survey all the stockpiled medicinal materials in other territories."
Xia Yu was even more shocked when he heard this. She had actually planned out all nine fiefdoms?
"Although there has been no epidemic in Yanjing, there is a severe shortage of medicinal materials. I have arranged to purchase them and have them delivered to the Ning Wang Mansion in Yanjing."
He didn't even know that medicinal materials were in short supply in Yanjing!
Shen Yuyao knew it clearly.
I'm afraid no one can do it except the Black Dragon Guards.
Although it is known that Shen Yuyao is very close to the Black Dragon Guards, the communication and deployment of the Black Dragon Guards between the various vassal territories this time must have been supported by my father.
But what Xia Yu never expected was that Shen Yuyao received more than just a little support.
Shen Yuyao's current identity can be regarded as a true imperial envoy.
An imperial envoy who went on a secret visit on behalf of the emperor.
An imperial envoy who has the privilege of executing first and reporting later!
The complicated feelings in Xia Yu's heart are really hard to describe.
