Chapter 260 Lin Fan is back with medicinal herbs!
"Mr. Lin! There is no ephedra anymore. My old mother in my family has wind and cold symptoms. How can she treat this?"
"Mr. Lin! You are the official of your parents. Please save my daughter. She has a cold and the price of ephedra is so expensive now that our family really looks down on me!"
"Wuwu! My father is almost out of reach. He needs ephedra to help him! Lord Lin, please give us some ephedra."
The people in the city who were in a cold wind gathered outside the yamen and asked Lin Fan to help them.
The yamen runners in the yamen are surrounded by the people and dare not go out because the contagiousness of wind and cold is not weak, and people with weak bodies will be infected.
"What should I do? Lord Lin has been away for two days. If we cannot bring ephedra back this time, we will be in great trouble!"
A yamen runner said.
"What nonsense? We, Lord Lin, have great magical powers. When we come back, we will definitely come back with Ephedra."
A yamen runner said.
At this time, the happiest thing was the merchants in the city. They bit the price to death by two taels of silver per kilogram, which made the poor unable to afford it.
"Hehe! Lin Fan's idiot probably hid out. We finally won a game this time and we killed two taels of silver to death, just not allowing those poor people to afford it!"
"That's right! Didn't Lin Fan treat the cold for free for the people in the city? That's OK! We'll wait for him to buy medicinal materials with the money!"
"Hehe! No one dares to buy medicinal materials from those merchants from other places. If anyone dares to buy medicinal materials from those merchants, he will not think about buying things from us in the future!"
"That's right! As long as we join forces, what are those foreign medicinal merchants? Unless they sell at normal prices, will they be willing to do so?"
The merchants in Fengcheng faced all this indifferently.
The merchants who came to Fengcheng to sell ephedra were in a dilemma. This time they came to resell medicinal materials, and at least they had been 1,000 pounds, but they had not sold a pound for three days.
Ephedra is not easy to preserve, some of them are broken, and it is difficult for these merchants to take these ephedra back, and you will only lose more.
"Mr. Lin is back to the city! Mr. Lin is back to the city with Ephedra!"
At this moment, someone was waiting at the city gate and saw Lin Fan pulling a cart of ephedra back to the city.
"That's great! Lord Lin is really amazing. This time he has at least one thousand kilograms of ephedra, which is enough for us to use!"
"Mr. Lin is so generous! These ephedra cost a lot of money! Woo woo, Lord. Lin, you are really our reborn parents!"
The people cried and knelt on the ground one after another.
"Wuwu! Lord Lin, we are all stupid people. You are sincerely good to us! We should not believe you!"
"Mr. Lin, we misunderstood you. You are still treating us like this. How should we thank you! Wooh..."
The people cried.
Lin Fan, Situ Hong and others walked together. Seeing the people around him kneeling down, they hurriedly stepped forward and helped them up, saying, "People, the ephedra I bought this time is very cheap, I bought it for nine cents per kilogram."
"What! I bought it at nine cents per pound? Lord Lin! How is this possible? The ephedra in Fengcheng costs two taels of silver per pound!"
A commoner said in shock.
"Haha! This is the price of ephedra in Fengcheng. You have forgotten that I went to Lingzhou this time, ephedra is very cheap in Lingzhou."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
He comforted the people a few words and said, "Dear people, if you have patients with wind and cold symptoms at home, remember to go to Sun Simiao's place to get the medicine on time."
After saying that, Lin Fan took the medicinal herbs to find Sun Simiao. When Sun Simiao saw Lin Fan pulling back a thousand pounds of ephedra, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
So much ephedra! It's enough to cure the people of Fengcheng.
"Mr. Lin, I thought you were just a little clever, but now it seems that I was a big mistake. Mr. Lin, you are a talented person!"
Sun Simiao couldn't help but praise.
Previously, Lin Fan bought ephedra for 200 taels of silver, in fact, to attract medicinal materials merchants to Fengzhou. Then the people of Fengcheng would no longer be short of medicinal materials. By then, the price of ephedra would naturally fall.
"Haha! I'm also backfiring. Dr. Sun, you should treat the people first. If you still lack any medicinal materials, let me tell you."
Lin Fan smiled.
"Mr. Lin, ephedra is the main medicine. As long as ephedra is not lacking, other medicinal materials can be found to be replaced, so there is no shortage. However, Simiao wants to thank Lord Lin for the people of Fengcheng."
After saying that, Sun Simiao knelt on the ground.
"From today, Sun Simiaoyuan has been with Lord Lin and asked Lord Lin to accept Sun."
Sun Simiao said sincerely.
If Sun Simiao was just angry with Lin Fan at the beginning, then now, Sun Simiao is really impressed by Lin Fan's talent and his personality of speaking and doing things, and he sincerely wants to follow Lin Fan.
"Doctor Sun, you can ask me to come up. What kind of virtue can I do? I can let Dr. Sun follow me. However, I have a suggestion. I don't know what Dr. Sun thinks."
Lin Fan said.
"Mr. Lin, what suggestions do you have?"
Sun Simiao asked.
"Look, there are so many patients in the world who are sick. How many patients can you treat as a doctor? Why don't you pay me and be a teacher, cultivate some talented doctors, and then let them travel around the world, which will benefit more people."
Lin Fan said.
"Well! Lord Lin's proposal is very wonderful! Why didn't I think of this before?"
Sun Simiao said in surprise.
In this world, the academies can cultivate literary talents, but there are no schools that specialize in medical studies, so there are not many doctors in this world.
The most important point is that those real doctors are selfish and will not teach their disciples selflessly. They only accept two or three disciples in their lifetime.
Even some doctors will not accept a single disciple. This is why the number of doctors is so rare in this era, and Lin Fan's proposal can solve this problem.
As long as this medical palace is opened, I believe that within five years, the number of doctors in the Tang Dynasty will more than double.
"It is normal that you didn't think of this before, because studying medicine is too challenging for talent. The most important thing is that it requires time to sharpen it. Otherwise, he will not be able to accurately see the patient's condition."
"However, now there are too many people who have very small diseases and have no medical treatment. We can try to cultivate some students who have superficial medical skills to solve the problem of the difficulty of seeing a poor person. Over time, our teaching conditions will get better and better, and the disciples we teach will get better and better."
Lin Fan said.
