Anyone who knew about the huge profits of penicillin knew about it.
If Chen Shu was willing, he could continue to earn money from this small medicine.
This was because it was a consumable and could not be stored for a long time.
If Chen Shu controlled the production of penicillin well, he could plunder countless taels of silver from the rich people in the world every year.
However, the choice Chen Shu gave him was an even more difficult path.
If he could lower the price, he might not be able to earn more than he did now, and it would be more troublesome.
This was because ancient times were not like the era that Chen lived in many years later. There was no such thing as hiding wealth among the people.
The people at the top held 90% of the world's wealth.
Earning money from these people was the most comfortable and easiest way to make money. Chen Shu said that lowering the price of penicillin would definitely do him no good.
Zhu Biao, Xu Da, and Xu Miaoyun were not fools.
When this youth spoke in the most peaceful tone, they already understood the compassion behind the youth.
When Chen Shu said these words, Xu Miaoyun felt as if her heart had been ruthlessly grabbed by someone.
She had a faint feeling for Chen Shu, but it was definitely not true.
However, when Chen Shu said these words, the Xu family's daughter's heart began to beat violently.
For a moment, Xu Miaoyun looked at Chen Shu in a daze.
"It's over. This girl is hopeless!"
Xu Da's reaction was slightly better than Xu Miaoyun's, so he still noticed his daughter's gaze.
Old Xu sighed. This time, Xu Miaoyun's road to becoming a princess consort was completely cut off.
However, when he looked at Chen Shu again, Xu Da also nodded without leaving a trace.
If his daughter could marry him, it would definitely be a social climb.
Regardless of ability or character, Chen Shu had no choice. Xu Da, this future father-in-law, was also happy to see the two of them getting along.
Therefore, Xu Da simply pretended not to see it.
"Why are you looking at me?"
After Chen Shu finished speaking, he could feel Xu Miaoyun and Xu Da's burning gazes.
"Old Xu is convinced!"
Xu Da was also solemn as he bowed to Chen Shu.
"But how can this thing descend?"
"Scale-up. At present, I'm the only one who can isolate patulin.”
"We can train some doctors!”
"Let these people spread the method to obtain penicillin!”
"The price will naturally drop!"
Chen Shu already had his own plan in mind, so he answered Xu Da's question without thinking.
He wasn't afraid of exposing the method of producing penicillin, because it didn't matter even if Chen Shu was exposed.
Even if the production method of penicillin was common, Chen Shu only needed to control the dry powder technology and purification technology, and he could still make use of it for a long time.
The dry powder technology and purification technology would not be released for the time being, because it was related to a hidden problem, which was the preservation time and the probability of allergy of this penicillin.
Such advanced technology could ensure that the Ming army could use it.
As for those small countries on the border, even if they got their hands on it, they wouldn't be able to keep it for long. They wouldn't be able to use it for military purposes.
Chen Shu wasn't a saint. He decided to make the technology public for the Chinese people to eat, not for the Westerners.
It was fine if it could not be hidden for civilian use, but the core technology for military use must be controlled well.
After revealing his plan, the father and daughter of the Xu family were completely convinced.
"Old Xu, go and prepare later!”
"Withdraw the money from me. Set up the shelf first!”
"After you pay off your debt, we're even. How about I give you 40% of the profits in the future?”
After hearing Chen Shu's suggestion, Xu Da chuckled.
He stood up and cupped his fists.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Chen. However, after Xu San pays off his debt, we won't be involved in this business anymore!”
"Eh, why?"
Chen Shu was puzzled. Although he had awakened and lowered the price of penicillin, this business was not without money.
What was this guy trying to do by not earning money?
"Sir, Xu San is a soldier!"
"Although money is good, I want to fight on the battlefield more!”
"All these years, because of the injury on my back, my old boss gave me some idle civilian work!”
"But ever since Sir cured my illness, I can't sit still anymore!”
"When you're done with these things, I'll ask my old boss to resign and go to the North Desert!”
"Father!"
Even Xu Miaoyun didn't know what Xu Da was planning.
His words also shocked Zhu Biao, who was behind the wall. Xu Da was currently the Right Prime Minister of the Ministry of Central Affairs and the second most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty's civil service, only second to Li Shan Chang.
Did Uncle Xu really think that he could reject the position of Prime Minister just because he said so?
The position of the Right Prime Minister of the Ministry of Central Affairs suddenly became vacant. This would definitely cause a huge earthquake in the court.
"The north has not been settled yet. Xu San has been eating and drinking in the capital for all these years, and he has always thought of his old brothers!”
"Soldiers should have a place to return to!"
Xu Da's words caused Chen Shu to be filled with respect.
Indeed, he had not misjudged them. Of the five people back then, Old Zhu was cunning, Li Er was scheming, and Liu Wu was awesome.
Only Xu San and Chang Si were considered honest people.
To be able to let go of great interests and guarantee his original intentions.
Chen Shu seemed to think highly of Xu Da. He walked over and held Xu Da's hand.
"Third, you are a hero!"
"But before you go to the battlefield, you have to pay back the money first!”
Old Xu was hot-blooded, but when he met a fool like Chen Shu, his blood instantly turned cold.
The Xu father and daughter rolled their eyes at the same time.
Old Xu said,
"If Sir doesn't mind, let my daughter help you!”
"If Old Xu dies on the battlefield, I'll make my daughter pay my debt!”
Zhu Biao, who was on the other side of the high wall, almost burst out laughing when he heard this.
Uncle Xu had a good idea. Was he sending the Xu family's sister into Chen Shu's arms?
When Zhu Biao heard this, he already understood Xu Da's intentions.
He put away the things in his hand, then quietly left the residence and headed for the palace.
"Xu Da wants to resign from the position of Right Prime Minister?"
Old Zhu was in the royal study. After listening to Zhu Biao's report, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Zhen knew it. His back injury has recovered, but he can't sit still!”
"What else can you tell me?"
Zhu Biao told Old Zhu everything he had seen and heard.
Hearing that Chen Shu wanted to lower the price of penicillin, Old Zhu fell silent.
Chen Shu's situation was far bigger than Old Zhu had imagined. This made Old Zhu's fear of him dissipate a little.
When he heard that Xu Da was actually selling his daughter, Old Zhu flew into a rage.
Xu Da, you f * cking surrendered so quickly?
"Oh right, Biao Er, look at this!”
The Emperor pushed the red chamber that Empress Ma had taken from the Princess to Zhu Biao.
