The imperial physician prepared medicine and the maid prepared water.
Everyone had their own duties and quickly prepared all the items needed for the water bath.
Cao Ang personally mixed the medicine and tested the water temperature. He waved his hand and said,"You can go into the water now. The first time you soak in the medicine is more powerful. You need at least two hours to fully absorb the medicinal strength.”
"Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
The palace maid responded, and Cao Ang turned to leave the Inner Residence.
"How confident are you?" Liu Hong took a deep breath and frowned.”
Cao Ang didn't hide it and said honestly,""Your Majesty, the princess's typhoid fever has invaded her lungs and is difficult to cure in a short period of time. Fortunately, she met me, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to keep her life.”
Liu Hong heaved a sigh of relief.”
"This…"
Cao Ang pondered for a long time and said," I'm not sure yet. I need to treat it step by step. I need to observe the specific symptoms of the disease and then prescribe the right medicine. It should be cured in a few days or two months at most."”
"However…"
At this point, Cao Ang rolled his eyes and said softly,""Your Majesty, allow me to say something that I shouldn't say. In recent years, the climate has changed drastically, the cold is difficult to block, and the number of patients with cold illnesses has increased.”
Liu Hong nodded in agreement.”
Cao Ang continued," This is the Jiaofang Palace, the residence of the Empress. However, it is still as cold as ice in the palace. There are a total of sixteen or seventeen braziers, but because the palace is too big, the heat transfer is not enough at all.”
"Yes, I am!"
Liu Hong nodded." I have experienced this myself. Do you have any ideas?"”
The corners of Cao Ang's lips curled up slightly.""What a coincidence! This commoner really has a way. Your Majesty might not know, but this commoner bought Misty Villa some time ago and found a fuel there that could provide a high amount of heat.
If His Majesty changed all the braziers in the palace to this kind of fuel, with the same number of braziers, this commoner could guarantee that it would be as hot as summer. If some braziers were removed, it would also be as warm as spring.”
" Oh!" Liu Hong's interest was piqued." There's actually such a material in this world?"”
"Ang calls it black gold."
Cao Ang said softly," In fact, I found it by chance. Recently, I have been buying grain and fodder in large quantities. I'm preparing to recruit some refugees, excavate black gold, and sell them in the city."”
"I see!"
Liu Hong was enlightened.
He suddenly remembered that Zhang Rang had mentioned buying grain and fodder, as well as buying a villa that didn't provide for people. Before this, he had thought that Cao Ang was a little out of his mind, but now he realized that he was a genius.
"How much are you prepared to pay?”
Liu Hong stared at Cao Ang with interest and tried to ask.
"Not much, five big coins per catty."
Without hesitation, Cao Ang blurted out,"My father often teaches the commoners that they must be worthy of His Majesty and the commoners. If the price of black gold is too high and the commoners can't afford it, they will be letting down the commoners.
Of course, there is no land under the heavens that is not the land of the king. Although Misty Villa is the foundation of this commoner, it is all thanks to His Majesty's great blessing that the country is prosperous and the people are safe. Therefore, this commoner is willing to give 30% of the sales revenue to His Majesty. This is to let His Majesty down.”
"What did you say?" Liu Hong was stunned. You want to give 30% of your income to me?"
Hiss ~~~
Zhang Rang was also shocked.
Good heavens.
30% of the profits.
How generous!
If that black gold really had such an effect, it would definitely be popular in Luoyang. With such a low price, every household would definitely buy it.
If there were a million households in Luoyang, and each household burned two catties of black gold every day, then each household would have ten coins a day, and a million households would have ten million coins. The winter would be cold for at least three months and at most four months. In this way, they could earn more than ten million coins every year.
How was this guy presenting a treasure? He was clearly looking for a backer for himself!
After all, that was an income of tens of millions of dollars. Once the Yuan family found out, they would cry their hearts out.
Zhang Rang took a deep breath and sighed inwardly."Cao Ang, you're really like his father, sly and cunning.”
Cao Ang nodded his head." I have received my father's education. I must always remember the king's kindness and be grateful. Without His Majesty, what is the Cao family?" It was only 30% of the income, so this commoner was naturally willing to part with it.”
"Good!"
"That's great!"
"Cao Yilang taught you well!"
Liu Hong beamed with joy and let out a long sigh."You have treated the princess today and contributed black gold to the people. What reward do you want? Tell me, I will definitely grant it.”
Cao Ang quickly cupped his hands and bowed." This commoner has served Your Majesty. This is what I should do. How dare I ask for a reward?"”
"Hahaha!"
Liu Hong looked up at the sky and laughed. He liked Cao Ang even more."Zhen hasn't been so happy in a long time. Although you don't want to be rewarded, Zhen can't not reward you. But since you're still young, I'll temporarily give credit to your father.
Isn't he a counselor now? Then I'll promote him to Guanglu doctor. As for the money for promotion, you don't have to pay it. Just treat it as a reward of 30% of your income. How about it?”
F * ck!
Liu Hong was too good at doing business.
He actually relied on the difference of four hundred dans to earn tens of millions of money every year.
I'll endure it. Anyway, you won't be able to jump around for a few more years. Take advantage of this time to promote your father. It'll be easier for him to rise in the future. At least he won't have to do things according to Yuan Shao's expression.
Cao Ang hurriedly bowed deeply, and his acting skills soared."This commoner thanks Your Majesty for your kindness. Long live my Emperor!”
"Get up," Liu Hong waved his hand.”
"Your Majesty!"
"Great news, Your Majesty!"
A palace maid ran out of the inner chamber and bowed to Liu Hong."Princess, princess is awake, princess is awake!”
Liu Hong was already beaming with joy, and this time, it was even more so. He patted Cao Ang's shoulder and said,"Haha! It's all thanks to you, otherwise Ying 'er's life would have been ruined by those quacks.”
Cao Ang quickly cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, that's a big mistake. I'm only good at cold disease. I can't be compared to imperial physicians. Moreover, Imperial Physician Wang saved my mother's life before. How can I accept Your Majesty's words?"”
Liu Hong smiled." I didn't expect you to be a person who values relationships and loyalty. Then, I'll spare these quacks for your sake. Their medical skills are not good enough, and they're acting like imperial physicians!"”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Hong was in a hurry to see his daughter. He waved his hand and instructed,"Zhang Qing, order the Taige to draft the decree. Send someone to send Cao Ang back to the villa and tell Cao Ang that he has a good son.”
"Your Majesty," said Zhang Rang, the Middle Minister, with a bow.”
Cao Ang also bowed.”
The two bowed and left the Jiaofang Palace.
Zhang Rang sent someone to convey the emperor's will, took the imperial edict, and brought Cao Ang to the Misty Villa.
