However, before Qin Wenzheng could speak, Yi Zilan seemed to know that he would stop him and hurriedly said, "There are so many medicinal shops in the capital, and the owners behind them all have to be capable. Medicinal herbs are related to the lives of the people. If someone accidentally prescribes the wrong prescription, it will be harmful."
Seeing that Qin Wenzheng was silent, Yi Zilan was slightly satisfied and continued, "Moreover, your situation is different from others. You have your current reputation because you have been affirmed by the emperor. The moners trust you because they trust the emperor. If you use this opportunity to open a medicinal shop but don’t know anything about it and write the wrong prescription, it won’t only damage your reputation."
When everyone heard this, more than half of them nodded.
That was indeed the case.
As the saying went, success and failure were often adjacent. Shao Qingyuan had raised the reputation of the emperor and the second prince by a level because of the method to prevent smallpox, but he could also be criticized for the problem of medicinal herbs.
However, the impact was not that great. Everyone present knew very well that Yi Zilan was deliberately using the tiger skin as a flag to make it sound more serious.
However, since Yi Zilan had said so, the others naturally could not stop him. Qin Wenzheng was the same.
Seeing that everyone agreed with him, Yi Zilan smiled and looked at Shao Qingyuan. "So, before you open the medicinal shop, I have to test your ability to prevent you from causing a huge disaster in the future. How about it? Do you agree or not?"
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Shao Qingyuan. To be honest, this request was really a little difficult to fulfill.
Not to mention Shao Qingyuan, who had only studied medicine for two years, even the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital did not dare to say that they knew all the herbs.
And who knew where Yi Zilan would find some strange herbs?
But at this moment, if Shao Qingyuan didn’t dare to agree to the bet, then...
Shao Qingyuan glanced at the confident Yi Zilan and smiled. "Alright, I agree to the bet."
"Great." To be honest, sometimes, Yi Zilan admired Shao Qingyuan.
Unfortunately, the enmity had already been formed. If he could not vent his anger, he would lose face.
When the others saw that the bet had been made, they immediately began to look at both sides excitedly.
There was also someone who was watching the show and did not mind making a big deal out of it. He simply said, "Words are useless. Let’s write a contract."
Qin Wenzheng glanced at Shao Qingyuan. Seeing that he was not worried at all, he heaved a sigh of relief and helplessly turned around to get the servant to get a brush and paper.
After making the bet, both parties signed it. Immediately, someone urged.
"Your Highness, let’s start quickly. Where are your herbs?"
Yi Zilan glanced at the person who spoke, waved his hand, and said loudly, "Bring them up."
Everyone was stunned. They looked up and saw the guard behind Yi Zilan carrying the sack over and placing it in the middle.
Everyone was speechless. You’re very well-prepared.
Yi Zilan sneered at Shao Qingyuan and waved his hand. "The bag is filled with medicinal herbs. Take a look."
So many???
The corners of everyone’s mouths could not help but twitch. "Your Highness, those are too many. How long will we have to wait?"
"Don’t be anxious. Although there are a lot of herbs in the sack, there aren’t many varieties. Don’t worry, it’ll be soon. Look at how confident Shao Qingyuan is. He might even think that I’ve brought too few herbs, right?"
