Chapter 130: This wave of operations slipped away
Pulling Gu Chan to sit beside him, Shen Sanfeng asked, "Then how much money do you need now?"
"Dad, I don't want much. Please lend me ten thousand taels of silver first. After I rescue the first batch of soldiers, I will pay you back another twenty thousand taels." Gu Chan said with a moving look.
"Ah?" Shen Sanfeng was surprised.
The old man was completely confused!
How could a mere child have such a loud tone?
Twenty thousand taels of silver? For an ordinary person, this is an astronomical figure, right?
Although Gu Chan owns a Chunfeng Medical Clinic, after all, the medical clinic is not yet profitable! She was still losing money, so where did she get the ability to pay him back so much money afterwards?
Gu Chan chuckled, put her mouth to Shen Sanfeng's ear and whispered softly.
Shen Sanfeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth and burst into laughter.
He couldn't help but raise his thumb at Gu Chan, and he praised, "He is indeed the godson I like. You brat, I really have you. Your mind is really good."
"Godfather, then you can send someone to bring me the money later. I have to pile up the money tonight to buy medicinal herbs in the whole city. Otherwise, I will be annoyed when injured soldiers from the border come in the middle of the night and there is no medicine to cure them." Gu Chan urged.
Shen Sanfeng nodded in agreement without saying anything.
The two said nothing more after that. Gu Chan immediately said goodbye to Shen Sanfeng and returned to the hospital to wait.
After midnight, a dozen carriages arrived from the Shen Mansion, each carriage filled with boxes of silver, a total of ten thousand taels of silver.
When the carriage stopped outside Chunfeng Medical Center, Gu Chan immediately led someone to unload the silver box and placed it at the gate, and then announced the purchase of medicinal herbs.
For a time, everyone in the entire county went crazy. Anyone who had herbs at home took them and sold them.
Gu Chan didn't care about the type of herbs, as long as she came to sell them, she would accept them all.
"To have such courage at such a young age, Shopkeeper Gu is indeed a talent."
"Yes! Look at the efforts she made for the border soldiers. It's really heartwarming."
"I really hope we in Tiancang Kingdom have more good people like Shopkeeper Gu!"
Everyone sold the medicine and got money successfully, and everyone couldn't help but praise Gu Chan.
Gu Chan's operation not only gained her a good reputation, but also calmed the hearts of the border soldiers. It can be said that she killed two birds with one stone, which is very remarkable.
On the other hand, Fatty Ding, Wang Feihu and the others didn't care about this. Instead, they thought Gu Chan was a fool.
In their opinion, there must be many injured among the hundreds of thousands of Tiger Army soldiers on the border. A mere ten thousand taels of silver is not enough to solve the problem.
Gu Chan ignored them and still went her own way.
And the reality was just as she expected. In the middle of the night, the city gate opened, and batches of injured soldiers were sent in one after another.
Not long after, hundreds of wounded soldiers were already lying inside and outside the Chunfeng Medical Center.
Gu Chan and Zhou Dachuan, together with everyone in the medical center and other people who came to help in the market street, tried their best to treat the wounded.
After daybreak, she saved all the soldiers who were sent, regardless of their minor injuries or serious injuries. But the price for this is that the medicinal herbs she spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy last night quickly bottomed out.
After the sun came up, Zhou Dachuan sat on the steps at the door of the medical center with a tired face. Looking at the few herbs in stock in the medical center, he sighed and said, "If this continues, we will have no more herbs to use. We will bring them later." I’m afraid it’s really impossible to save the soldiers.”
"Don't worry, I still have a box of spiritual herbs sent by my godfather in my warehouse on the third floor. Crush them all, and mix them with some other ordinary herbs to make multiple doses of pretty effective wound medicine. , Use it to hold it up first, and then protect the lives of the soldiers coming later," Gu Chan said with relief.
"But this is not enough! Now that we have no money, and the county magistrate and Wang Yuanwai are unwilling to set an example and pay, naturally those big merchants in the wealthy areas are also unwilling to pay!" Zhou Dachuan said with great worry.
Gu Chan smiled confidently and did not give him any more explanation. Instead, she grabbed a soldier who was about to return to the front line and said, "Brother soldier, I have a letter here. Please take it to the border and hand it over to General Long." "Here, tell him how many wounded soldiers there are, just send them over and I will do my best to treat them."
"Okay, Shopkeeper Gu, thank you so much. Without you, how could we have saved the lives of so many brothers!" The soldier responded with a grateful face.
After saying that, he put the letter in his arms, got on his horse and left the city to return to the front line.
Gu Chan continued to ask Zhou Dachuan to join her and lead everyone to treat the soldiers.
At noon, there was a big forest on the frontline border, this side of the Tiger Army base camp.
At this time, Long Zhen was sitting in the Chinese army's tent directing the battle, and Xue Lihua was beside him, ready for dispatch at any time.
The soldier who delivered the letter rushed into the camp, took out the letter Gu Chan gave him, and presented it to Long Zhen, saying, "General, this is the letter that Shopkeeper Gu asked me to hand over to you."
"Well, you continue to treat the wounded soldiers." Long Zhen took the letter and ordered.
The soldiers responded and ran out quickly.
Long Zhen handed the letter into Xue Lihua's hands, then he continued to frown at the sand table in front of him and began to deduce the battle formation.
After Xue Lihua opened the letter and read it, she shouted angrily, "Damn Fatty Ding and Wang Feihu, they cried for money and refused to give up any money. As a result, Gu Chan had to borrow 10,000 taels of silver from Mr. Shen to buy medicinal herbs. Now that he has almost run out of medicinal herbs, the general who will be sent there later may be in a situation where there is no cure. "
"Hmph! I guessed it earlier. He is young after all. It will not be easy to fight against those two iron roosters." Long Zhen snorted coldly, not panicking at all, but feeling confident.
Xue Lihua put away the letter and said seriously, "General, do you have a plan to deal with them?"
"Does Gu Chan have a plan?" Long Zhen asked back.
Xue Lihua smiled slightly and said, "You are right. There is really a plan in this kid's letter. But I have never heard of this word. This is the first time I have seen it in my whole life."
"What word?" Long Zhen became interested and turned his head to stare at Xue Lihua and asked.
Xue Lihua said doubtfully, "She said it was called 'recommended delivery'."
"Guaranteed? What do you mean?" Long Zhen was confused.
In fact, this word was too unfamiliar to them in this world. For a while, he really couldn't understand the meaning of these two words.
Xue Lihua opened the letter again, lowered her head and carefully read Gu Chan's explanation of the word in the letter.
After she understood it, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her beautiful face showed an extremely surprised smile.
