Mrs. Yao said: "I originally wanted to grab some medicines to clear lungs and relieve coughs, but the people in the medicine shop told me that ordinary Chinese medicines such as mulberry leaves, forsythia, honeysuckle, and isatis root are out of stock. They have not been able to get the goods for several days. I went to several medicine shops to ask about it. It was all like this. I think it was a bit weird. You have to go back and tell the princess and ask someone to investigate what's going on."

“These medicines are so common, why can’t they be bought?

I haven't heard from the doctor of Huimin Office."

Mrs. Yao coughed a few times, her face turned red after coughing. After a while, she recovered and said, "The Huimin Administration was run by the imperial court and has its own supply channels, but the purchase price will probably be too expensive. The people really can't buy these medicines now. Now it's spring and summer, and it's easy to get plagues. If these medicines are missing, it's amazing."

A Si said: "Okay, I'll go back and tell Sister Yuan immediately and ask her to find someone to investigate. You should sit down and drink some porridge. I'll cook two dishes for you."

"I can eat it, you go back first."

Mrs. Yao said.

A Si said, "Okay, I'll leave."

She walked out, Kuotian had already put down his broom and stood in the corridor. A Si waved his hand, "Then please look at Mrs. more for now."

"Um!"

Zhuotian responded lightly.

As Si felt it was a bit difficult to talk to him, so he stopped talking and went out to go home.

When he returned to the Chu Palace, he did not see Yuan Qingling. He asked Man'er, who said, "After you went out, someone from the An Palace sent him to invite him, saying that Princess An's child suddenly vomited milk and vomited very badly, so he asked the Crown Princess to go there."

Asi was shocked, "Then why don't you follow me?"

It’s so dangerous to go to Prince An’s Mansion.”

"Princess Huai just happened to come. They went together and asked me to follow him."

Man'er said.

A Si said, "That's fine. Princess Huai can protect Sister Yuan. I'll go in and change my clothes first. I just cooked at Mrs. Yao's side, and the smell of oil smoke."

Man'er laughed secretly, "Now you are becoming more and more like a good wife and mother."

As Si made a gesture to beat her, Man'er ran away. The two of them were playing and rushing, and they were so unhappy.

When Yuan Qingling came back, it was already evening. She and Yu Wenhao were entering the door. Without saying a few words, A Si came and talked about what Mrs. Yao discovered today.

Yuan Qingling was shocked, "Out of stock?

Are there any herbs out of stock?”

Yuwenhao said: "It is not surprising that rare medicinal materials are out of stock, but mulberry leaves and forsythia have never been lacking."

"Did the Huimin Office submit a memorandum?"

Yuan Qingling asked.

"I've been busy these two days and have read the memorials for the emperor. He may not tell me the small matters, but only discuss with me the big matters. He probably thinks that the herbs are out of stock, so he didn't tell me."

Yuan Qingling is a doctor. The lack of basic medicine in the market has brought her a great sense of crisis, especially now that it has just entered early summer, and there is still spring cold in the morning and evening, which is easy to cause influenza. I remember that at about this time in previous years, colds were everywhere.

She said: "You will send someone to check tomorrow and see what medicines are missing?

Why are there any medication shortage?”

"I'll ask Xu Yi to go to Huimin Office for a question now."

As soon as Yu Wenhao finished speaking, A Si turned around and went out, "I'll call him."

Xu Yi went to Huimin Office overnight, found an official from Huimin Office, and asked about the out of stock of medicinal materials.

The Huimin Office did not submit a memorandum and said, "I heard about the shortage of goods among the people two days ago. The Huimin Office is also called to purchase goods today. There are still some goods from the Huimin Office. We are not greatly affected because people who specialize in the Huimin Office use medicines are almost no sales to the public, and they still have their supply."

"Then you ask the merchant and see what's going on."

Xu Yidao.

"Don't worry, General Xu, I'll go check it out in person tomorrow."

Main courtyard road of the Huimin Office.

Xu Yi asked about the inventory of Huimin Office again, and the main hospital said: "The inventory is not large, because Huimin Office has to treat a large number of patients every day, and it has to purchase goods every few days, so it can't stock up so many, so we don't have so many places."

"If you can get the goods, you'd better stock up a little more. I guess someone is making trouble here."

Xu Yidao.

The main courtyard was stunned, "Make a fool?"

Who is making trouble?

The imperial court has strict orders, and the storage of medicinal materials cannot be resided in and affected the use of medicine among the people."

"It's better to be careful, I'm afraid it's not a profiteer, but someone with ulterior motives."

Xu Yi is now much smarter and knows how to learn from many things. Especially this herb has strangled the lifeblood of the alternating spring and summer. If there is a typhoid cold and wind and cold outbreak, it will be troublesome.

The main courtyard knew that the situation was unclear, so it immediately took it seriously and promised: "General Xu, don't worry, the officials will investigate this matter clearly, and will stock up on some medicinal materials tomorrow. At least it can ensure that there are enough herbs on the royal family."

When Xu heard this, he always felt that it was inappropriate, but he had a simple mind and could not make any mistakes for the moment, so he got up and left.

The next evening, the Lord of the main courtyard went to the Chu Palace to report his life.

Because it was a matter of herbs, Yu Wenhao also asked Yuan Qingling to enter the study and listen to the report.

The main courtyard said: "Today, Weichen took someone to check and found that all the medicine shops in Beijing were the same. There were a lot of medicines missing. I asked the drug dealer. I found out that someone had bought a lot of medicines a while ago. The price of this person was 20% higher than the normal price. Therefore, the drug dealer sold the medicine to this person. This person was also very strange. He didn't need any medicines for treating injuries and recuperation. As long as medicines for treating wind and cold typhoid coughs, Houttuynia cordata, patchouli, rhubarb, rhodiola, mint, licorice and isatis root, etc., they can no longer get them, and the business in the medicine shop has plummeted."

"Do you have listed the list of missing medicines?"

Yuan Qingling asked.

The main courtyard hurriedly presented the booklet, "If you reply to the Crown Princess, you have already listed it here."

Yuan Qingling took the medicine book and saw that there were dozens of medicinal materials missing. She was not familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, but when she was in the pharmaceutical factory research institute, she had studied traditional Chinese medicine preparations and knew the general medicinal properties of herbs.

Almost all of these medicines are medicines to treat upper respiratory tract infections, fever reduction, and lung clearance. In other words, if there is an outbreak of influenza, there is no myrrh on the market.

She glanced at Yu Wenhao, "This medicine will not be missing for no reason. It must be investigated strictly, and it must be soon."

Yuwenhao nodded and said to the main courtyard: "If the supply of Huimin Bureau is sufficient, a large number of goods can be imported, and if they can't be stored, they will be diverted to various major medicine shops and give them the price of the purchase."

"yes!"

The main courtyard took the order and sued.

Yuwenhao told Xu Yi that he came in again, "You go and check who the person who bought the medicine is, where he lives, and what is the purpose of what he wants so many medicines."

Xu Yi left after getting the order.

Yuan Qingling was a little worried and frowned and looked at Yu Wenhao, "Lao Wu, this matter must be handled carefully."

"Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I will first adjust medicine from various places to Beijing."
