Chapter 258: Looting, panic in the city! [Subscribe]

Less than half a month

The situation developed as Wei Hong expected!

The city of God began to show signs of a plague outbreak. Many coughing patients appeared in the streets and alleys. No matter where you go, you can hear the sound of coughing and coughing!

At first, many people just thought it was the wind and cold!

However, as major hospitals were filled with patients, and people even collapsed while walking on the street, and many people began to vomit blood after coughing, news of the plague began to spread like wildfire.

For a moment, the whole city was panicked!

When many powerful and wealthy businessmen hurriedly wanted to flee to Zhuangzi outside the city, they were shocked to find that the patrol camp had been ordered to block the entire city. All major city gates were only allowed in and out, and even the carriages and horses of the powerful were blocked. Come down.

"What's going on? Do you know who I am? Why do you stinky soldiers stop me?"

"Made, a plague is about to break out in the city. Do you want us all to die here?"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way right now!"

Clashes quickly broke out at various city gates!

Many of the richly dressed dignitaries looked anxious and angry, and wanted to break out with their men, but the patrol camp remained motionless, refusing to give way no matter how coerced or lured the other party was.

Now even the stupidest person can see that something is wrong!

All kinds of panic spread among the crowd, and a larger-scale looting than during the battle for the inheritance began to break out on the streets.

With faces full of panic, people gathered in butcher shops, rice shops, grain and oil shops, grocery stores, and pharmacies, and began to grab all the supplies they could.

Rice prices have risen for nine consecutive days!

Many merchants were either sold out or chose to stock up. Various rumors were flying all over the sky, and everyone seemed to be panicking!

The third floor of Qinghe Chamber of Commerce headquarters!

Yan Qinghe looked at the chaos on the street, with a trace of unbearable expression on his pretty and gentle face.

"Husband!" She raised her eyes and looked at Wei Hong aside, and said hesitantly, "Are we just going to watch?"

"Of course not!" Wei Hong shrugged and chuckled: "Didn't I ask you to prepare a large amount of medicinal materials and food supplies in advance half a month ago? In addition to leaving a batch for our own use, you can completely release them at the original price A batch of grain for sale!”

"On the one hand, this can help many ordinary people, and on the other hand, it can also accumulate some good reputation for Qinghe Chamber of Commerce. It just means making less money, so why not do it!"

Yan Qinghe immediately smiled when he heard this!

She didn't really care whether she made money or not. It was good to do some good deeds.

Ever since Wei Hong informed her to stock up on food and medicinal materials half a month ago, she had quickly mobilized funds to start preparations, and almost all the liquidity of the entire chamber of commerce was invested in this.

If we follow the example of other merchants and sell grain at high prices.

I believe that such a large batch of goods will surely make her a lot of money.

However, she wanted to do good deeds for ordinary people more than making money, so she immediately agreed to his proposal and said with a soft smile: "My husband is very considerate. Although we can't help too many people, we can still help." Let’s do our part.”

Wei Hong hugged Yan Qinghe's fragrant and soft body and felt a mixture of emotions for a moment.

Beauty is always there but kindness is not always there. How could he be so virtuous that he could marry such a beautiful and kind-hearted woman? His life in this world must not have been in vain!

But a mortal’s lifespan is no more than a hundred years!

Think of my grandfather, think of Yan Qinghe!

Maybe by the time he reaches the top of the human world, these relatives may have already turned into a cup of loess, right?

"well!"

Wei Hong sighed suddenly.

I don’t know whether I am lamenting the pity of the world or my own future.

"Second Miss, uncle!" Shopkeeper Zhao knocked on the door and came in. He said respectfully: "The soup has been boiled. Do you want a bowl?"

"good!"

Wei Hong nodded and walked hand in hand with Yan Qinghe to the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce.

A large pot has already been set up here, with a large pot of medicinal materials boiling on it. Hundreds of people from the chamber of commerce are gathered here.

This is the anti-epidemic and strengthening soup prepared by Wei Hong himself!

Although the medicinal materials used in it are very common, the effect is still good. After drinking it, it has the effect of strengthening the body and preventing the plague.

"Uncle, take a look!" Shopkeeper Zhao personally filled a bowl and handed it over.

Wei Hong took it and took a sip, savoring the rich medicinal aroma. Then he nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's going well. Just cook it like this. Make a big pot every day and let everyone in the Chamber of Commerce drink a bowl." , and the leftovers can be distributed and taken home to drink with your family!”

"Uncle, is this medicinal soup really effective in preventing the plague?" Shopkeeper Zhao looked surprised, and others were also doubtful.

Wei Hong didn't bother to explain too much and said directly: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. If you want to drink it, you can drink it. If you don't want to drink it, don't force it!"

"Drink, of course!"

"Hey, whoever doesn't drink the medicine is a fool!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

Everyone started talking.

Although everyone doesn’t really believe that this kind of decoction can prevent epidemics, drinking it can always strengthen your body, right? Naturally, no one would be stupid enough to refuse!

Yan Qinghe knew Wei Hong's abilities!

She knew that this medicine would definitely cure the plague, but she didn't know how effective it would be.

"Husband, is one bowl a day enough? Do you want to drink more?" Yan Qinghe asked in a low voice: "We still have a lot of medicinal materials stored in the warehouse. If they are useful, we can go outside to boil them and give them to the people."

"No!" Wei Hong shook his head and refused: "You can sell grain at a fair price to gain a good reputation, but you must not boil and apply medicine on the street. Once people know that we have medicine, you can't even think about the consequences!"

Yan Qinghe's face turned pale and she quickly gave up the idea.

She is also a smart person, and naturally knows how crazy people will do in desperation, so the medicine can be sold but it must not be given away!

"Let's put it this way. We do have a lot of medicinal materials in stock, and we can't use them all!" Wei Hong chuckled and said, "You can sell a batch at a fair price, and send someone to sell a batch at a high price on the black market."

"Okay!" Yan Qinghe agreed obediently. She thought about it and asked, "Do you want to boil it at home? I can send someone to boil it and send it back, so that grandpa won't be infected with the epidemic when he is old!"

"No need, there are other prescriptions at home!" Wei Hong didn't hide it: "This kind of soup in the Chamber of Commerce has only a simple epidemic prevention effect. In order not to attract people's prying, I deliberately lowered the effect. It can only guarantee that there is no infection. Naturally, we won't use this soup at home!"

"That's right!"

Yan Qinghe nodded in agreement.

Thinking about the dozens of branches of the Chamber of Commerce with a total of two or three hundred people, plus the families behind them, Yan Qinghe only felt a heavy burden pressing on her heart, which made her feel quite strenuous.

It is not easy to take care of family and relatives in times of chaos, so how can there be spare energy to help too many people?

"Uncle Zhao, notify everyone!" Yan Qinghe said, "All branches of our Chamber of Commerce will suspend the sale of all kinds of goods and sell affordable grain instead. Each person and household is limited to purchasing five kilograms per day."

"Yes!"

Manager Zhao took the order and left immediately!
