Poor Family Chapter 178

  Chapter 178, Luck

   Lieutenant generals are prone to worms in their bodies. This is a headache and worry for all generals who lead troops in battle.

  Shen Nong Tang's roundworm pills are specially designed to treat endogenous worms, and the efficacy of the medicine has been confirmed by the Northwest Frontier Army.

  Unfortunately, except for the wholesale supply of Shennongtang's pills to the Northwest Frontier Army, other people buy them at retail. One person can buy up to three bottles of the same pill. If you want to buy more, you can't even pay more money.

  So, when he learned that the Eldest Prince could wholesale pills by virtue of the Shennongtang Law Enforcement Order, with a 20% discount, and he could also designate free Ascaris pills for the three armies, the eyes of the generals present at the Eldest Prince changed instantly.

  From being indifferent at the beginning, he became eager and hot.

   This scene was watched by the emperor and several princes. The emperor didn't react at all. He looked at the eldest prince and other sons with meaningful eyes.

  The prince's eyes drooped slightly, concealing the restlessness in his heart.

   Military generals are the most taboo to associate with princes. Over the years, he secretly wanted to win over some powerful generals, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded.

   Fortunately, the generals will not take refuge in him, let alone other princes.

  But now, the boss holds the bargaining chip of Shennongtang Pills, so he can justifiably contact the generals, and there is no guarantee that he will not win over individual generals.

  Damn it, it took so much effort to create a victorious situation where the boss was in poor health and was kicked out of the court. Now it is completely ruined.

  Princes are all affected, let alone other princes.

  Among them, the sixth prince was the least calm. Firstly, he felt ashamed of being a clown once, and secondly, he also saw the change in the generals' attitude towards the eldest prince.

  As for the other princes, no matter what they think in their hearts, they all pretend to be watching a show.

  Under the eaves of the lobby of the worship hall, the imperial guards stood in a row, clearly seeing everything that happened in the house.

Shi Dingxuan stood beside Zhao Shengming, the commander of the guards, nudged Zhao Shengming lightly with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, didn't the Huaiyuan army always want to buy Shennongtang's pills? Now is the best opportunity. "

  The Zhao family has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for decades, and has a deep affection for the Huaiyuan Army. Even if the Zhao family is transferred back to the capital, they still pay close attention to the situation of the Huaiyuan Army.

  In the past few years, the change of imperial power, continuous border wars, and occasional disasters in various provinces have caused the treasury to not be full.

  If the national treasury is not abundant, there will not be too much military pay allocated to the army, and even if it is allocated, it will not be paid on time or in full.

  All the generals who lead the army are not worried about the lack of military pay.

  The military pay issued by the imperial court is used to purchase medicinal materials every year, accounting for a considerable proportion. Now Shennongtang is going to give free roundworm pills to the army. As long as they win this quota, they can save a lot of money.

  The saved silver can be used to improve the food of the soldiers, and it can also be used to replace weapons, which is of great benefit.

  Zhao Shengming understood what Shi Dingxuan meant, and glanced at the eldest prince who hadn't gone to pick up the guardian decree of Shennong Hall in the hall, with a hesitant look on his face.

  Shen Nongtang only gave roundworm pills to the troops of the three parties for free, and the three parties were determined by the eldest prince.

   That is to say, if you want roundworm pills, you must obtain the consent of the First Prince.

  The Great Prince.

  Zhao Shengming looked at the eldest prince in the hall. The eldest prince must know the role of the guardian decree of Shennongtang, but he never took it.

Do not want?

Certainly not.

  He is waiting for the emperor's order, or someone can give him an opportunity to get the token.

   Otherwise, just stepping up to accept the guardian decree of Shennongtang in front of the emperor and the princes will reveal his desire for power, which is undoubtedly not good for him.

  Is the Zhao family going to be this early bird?

  The eldest prince's current situation is not very good. If the Zhao family stood up now, they might offend the prince and others.

  But if the eldest prince didn't stand up when he needed it most, Huaiyuan Jun might not be able to get the free roundworm pills given by Shennongtang.

   After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Shengming still made a decision and quietly withdrew from the guard team.

   Not long after, Shi Dingxuan saw the servants of the Zhao family enter the hall, and whispered a few words to Zhao Zhiwen, the current Minister of the Ministry of War and the former Governor of Huaiyuan, who was watching the ceremony.

Zhao Zhiwen was more decisive than his son, and without much thought, he smiled and passed the steps to the eldest prince: "The doctor Liu is far away in the northwest border, and he specially prepared a congratulatory gift for the first prince. The first prince and doctor Liu are really mentors and apprentices." Deep."

   Seeing someone rushing to speak before him, Young Master Cai immediately followed up and said, "Isn't it? Miracle Doctor Liu is really a beloved disciple, Eldest Prince, hurry up and accept the congratulatory gift that Miracle Doctor Liu specially sent for you."

  The eldest prince did not move, but looked at the emperor.

  The emperor looked at him with a smile: "The elders can't deny the gift, and you will have a good life in the future to honor your master."

  The eldest prince quickly replied: "I would like to obey my father's instruction." After speaking, he coughed violently, and the bride beside him immediately supported the eldest prince who was arched from coughing.

  Seeing that the Eldest Prince was coughing uncontrollably, Young Master Cai stepped forward quickly, took the law-protecting decree from the hand of the cheeky man, and put it directly into the Eldest Prince's hands.

   "Your Majesty, we're done worshiping, so let's send the eldest prince and the bride back to the bridal chamber."

  The emperor nodded, and immediately the courtesy officer sang: "The bride and groom are sent to the bridal chamber~"

  Seeing Master Cai Xiaohou grinningly following the newcomer to the bridal chamber, Zhao Zhiwen quickly summoned his youngest son, Zhao Shenghao: "Go, make trouble in the bridal chamber."

  Zhao Shenghao's eyes widened: "Going to make trouble in the eldest prince's bridal chamber?"

  Zhao Zhiwen: "Just do what Master Cai does."

  Although Zhao Shenghao was a little confused, he still nodded in agreement, and ran after Cai Xiaohou.

  Other military generals saw this scene, and quickly recruited the juniors in the family, and asked them to follow in the bridal chamber.

  Under the eaves of the corridor, Shi Dingxuan smiled slightly as he watched the eldest prince and his party walk away.

  Very well, the nephew's wedding went smoothly and successfully!

  Some people are happy, some people are not happy.

   Obviously, the crown prince and other princes were not very happy.

  Wei Yichen walked up to the prince and whispered: "The eldest prince still has some luck."

  In a person's life, there are not many opportunities to stand up, but the eldest prince changed his life twice.

  The first time I was poisoned by the ice snake, I thought I would not live to be twenty years old, but the emperor just found the genius doctor Zhan, and he continued the life of the eldest prince.

  The second time, this time.

  A prince who does not hesitate to damage his body in order to compete for the favor of the emperor, causing the foundation of his body to be destroyed, cannot win the support of others.

  Things had originally developed in this way, but suddenly, the first prince had a priest who was a doctor.

  When Miracle Physician Zhan accepted apprentices on behalf of his junior sister, everyone probably thought it was perfunctory, even the eldest prince himself probably didn't take it to heart.

   But the reality is always unexpected. Who would have thought that the farce of apprenticeship, which was not favored by everyone at the beginning, would actually bring a turning point to the eldest prince?

  The prince's expression was indifferent: "In this world, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Eldest brother has multiple masters. It's hard to say whether it's a good thing or not."

  The boss can indeed rely on Shennongtang to communicate with generals, but military power is the last thing the prince can touch. Seeing the generals getting closer to the boss, the father will not lose his mind.

   Come again, the boss has the Heart-biting Gu in his body, his life is all up to him.

  The eldest prince got married, and the emperor paid enough attention to it. Not only was he there in person, but he also ate a meal at the eldest prince's mansion before returning to the palace.

  After returning to the palace, the emperor called Xiaohou Cai to the front: "I haven't seen how close you are to the boss on weekdays, but today you seem to be an elder."

  Master Cai Xiaohou chuckled: "I can't help it. I don't have the good luck of the eldest prince. I have a **** doctor who is on good terms with the master of Shennong Hall."

  The emperor looked at him: "Shen Nong Tang has already provided roundworm pills to the Northwest Frontier Army, you don't need to curry favor with the boss."

  Master Cai Xiaohou did not hide anything, and directly stated the reason why he spoke for the eldest prince today: "Your Majesty, my father was assassinated. Although General Zhuang tried his best to save him, he was still injured and his health is not as good as before."

   "Every time I see my father's weak appearance, I feel very anxious. When I was seeking medical treatment everywhere, Shennongtang sent a pill called Yangsheng Dan."

   "After taking it for a period of time, my father's complexion improved visibly with the naked eye. When I returned to Beijing, my father was able to chase after my **** and beat me with a stick again."

  The emperor: "Health pill? Is that the pill you presented not long ago?"

Master Cai Xiaohou nodded: "Yes, this kind of pill can strengthen your body after taking it. I wanted to buy more when I returned to Beijing, but unfortunately, the quantity of this kind of pill is not much because it is difficult to prepare. The business manager of Shennongtang is watching After my father took good care of Shennongtang, he took the initiative to donate some."

   "This time I went to the northwest, and Shang Guanshi and I are quite familiar with each other. After my intentional inquiry, I learned that Shennongtang will sell some specific pills from time to time."

   "Such as Anshen pills for headaches, Qinghuo pills for toothaches, and, it is said, Shengzi pills for women who are barren."

   "These pills have one characteristic, that is, they are small in quantity. Basically, they are sold out as soon as they are put out for sale."

   "Didn't my eldest nephew become the protector of Shennongtang? I thought, I have a better relationship with him. If Shennongtang has any good pills in the future, I can ask him to reserve some for me."

  The emperor: "So, you rushed to please in advance?"

  Master Cai Xiaohou smiled and said: "Look at what the emperor said, I am clearly in touch with my eldest nephew."

  The emperor didn't ask any more questions, but narrowed his eyes slightly: "Shen Nong Hall"

   Happy New Years Day everyone!
