Chapter 0940 Officials Are Big Mouths

After thinking for a while, Empress Wu sent someone to notify Qin Chu and Zhou Yuanshuo to reply. After receiving the notification, Zhou Yuanshuo and Qin Chu set off in the beast cart.

"Qin Chu, it is estimated that an official has reported that our price is too high. When you need to explain, you can say that the materials of the beauty pill are expensive. Are there any materials that others don't know about? If so, you can say that they are extremely rare. As for other pills, I considered it when I set the price. Although it is too high, it is not to the point of being banned." Zhou Yuanshuo reminded Qin Chu.

"Let me think... There is indeed a very rare material in the beauty pill, called Qingcha fruit. Qingcha fruit is relatively useless. It is not needed by ordinary pills. It can only be used when refining detoxification pills. It has a strong detoxification effect. The beauty pill can make women's skin better, and one of them is detoxification. This material is what I collected before, and it is not available now. It is not circulated on the market at all." Qin Chu thought for a while and said, he was right, there is indeed no such material on the market, because Qingcha fruit was brought by him from the Seven Martial World, and it was a material for refining detoxification pills before.

"That's all. When they ask about it, you can say that although the grade of Qingcha fruit is not high, it is not available in the market. Once it is consumed, it will be gone. Scarcity makes things valuable. This makes sense." Zhou Yuanshuo reminded Qin Chu. He knew that Empress Wu would protect Qin Chu, but he also needed a reason, even if the reason was not sufficient.

Zhou Yuanshuo's animal cart stopped at the periphery of the palace hall. The palace hall is the core of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no animal cart can approach it.

Entering the palace hall, Qin Chu felt what is magnificent.

Looking up, the ceiling of the hall is a little blurry, and you can only see the stars dotted with gems, and the dragon pillars one by one. Dozens of people can't hug them together. People walking in the hall seem very small.

Walking to the end of the hall, Qin Chu saw Empress Wu sitting in the main seat, wearing a golden mountain and river geography skirt and a phoenix crown, and several officials standing below.

"You black-hearted businessman, you are disrupting the order of my Great Zhou Dynasty, how dare you come?" Seeing Qin Chu, an official stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Chu.

Being accused and scolded, Qin Chu's anger rose, and he clasped his fists to the queen, "Hello, Queen, I am innocent before the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty have convicted me. Under the condition of innocence, can I kill people if others scold me?"

The hall became cold, because Qin Chu released a strong murderous intention. He was really angry. Empress Wu hadn't spoken yet, and there was a fool who took advantage of his age and scolded him.

"Liu Shilang, you should restrain yourself. This is the palace hall. Do you think it is your home? In the Great Zhou Dynasty, if you are provoked without reason, the murderer is not guilty. You should understand this! Qin Chu, you should also be more gentle. This is the palace hall." Empress Wu first scolded the old official, and then stopped Qin Chu. She saw that Qin Chu was really angry.

After bowing to Empress Wu, Zhou Yuanshuo reached out and pulled Qin Chu to stand aside.

At this time, several officials stood together, and Qin Chu and Zhou Yuanshuo stood together.

After several officials looked at Zhou Yuanshuo, they turned their eyes away, looking a little empty.

"Qin Chu, you opened the Medicine Pavilion, which is a legitimate business. Our Great Zhou Dynasty encourages it, but the business of the Great Zhou Dynasty needs stability. In order to maintain stability, some excessive behaviors, such as excessive prices, are not allowed. This is our Great Zhou Dynasty's right prime minister, Lord Li, who is in charge of the business of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I have something to ask you." Empress Wu pointed to the old man standing at the head of the officials.

The old man bowed to Empress Wu, and then looked at Qin Chu, "I have a few words to ask. First of all, I will also express my own views. If you have any questions, then the Medicine Pavilion will be closed, even if it is an industry cooperating with Prince Shuo; if there are no problems, then I apologize for today's questioning."

"Please speak, Lord Li." Seeing that the attitude of the right prime minister was okay, Qin Chu's attitude also eased a lot.

"According to the level of the elixir, normally, the cost of a furnace of elixir for a seventh-level elixir is less than 5,000 top-grade spirit stones, so we will calculate it as 5,000; a furnace of elixir produces between six and ten pills, so we will calculate it as six pills, and the cost of one pill is about 1,000 top-grade spirit stones. This is the price of a mid-level elixir. The price of a top-level elixir is doubled to 2,000, and the price of a top-level elixir is tripled, which is about 6,000. Taking into account the store and staff consumption, the price should not exceed 10,000. But your top-grade elixir pavilion, the price of each seventh-level elixir is 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. Let's not talk about these for now, just talk about the beauty pill, the beauty pill is even 30,000 top-grade spirit stones, this is not excessive, it is really excessive." Li Youxiang said.

"Don't quibble, we asked the alchemist to calculate it, and confirmed that the number was accurate before reporting it to Li Youxiang." Liu Shilang spoke again.

"Shut up, this is the place where you can speak freely? Did the Queen let you speak?" Zhou Yuanshuo's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He saw that Minister Liu was targeting Qin Chu.

"If you disrupt the order again, drag it out!" Queen Wu frowned, and as she waved her arm, the golden armored guards entered the hall.

After Minister Liu shut up, Qin Chu first clasped his fists to Queen Wu, and then looked at Li Youxiang, "You Xiang is quite accurate. The elixir in the top-grade elixir pavilion, the main question of the Right Prime Minister is the beauty pill. Then let me talk about the situation of the beauty pill. The beauty pill is an ancient elixir recipe. It is a seventh-level elixir, but one of the raw materials is extremely rare and not circulated on the market. That is to say, if one beauty pill is used, one less will be used. This cannot be priced with ordinary seventh-level elixirs. Scarcity makes things expensive, which is also in line with market rules."

"There are no rare materials circulating in the market... Rare things are valuable. If that's the case, then this official has no problem." Li Youxiang did not ask any more questions.

At this time, Minister Liu stood up and clasped his fists to Empress Wu.

"Minister Liu can speak now." Looking at Minister Liu, Empress Wu's eyes were full of dissatisfaction. Li Youxiang had no problem, so why are you jumping?

"It can't be rare just because he says it's rare. If tomorrow all the pill pavilions say their materials are rare, my Great Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos. If you say it's rare, then you have to show evidence." Minister Liu looked at Qin Chu.

"I can prove it, but the formula of the beauty pill is a secret, and the materials are also secrets. Minister Liu can watch it if he wants to? If someone else refines the beauty pill tomorrow, is it because you, Minister Liu, have seen the materials?" Qin Chu began to fight back.

"I am an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, working for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Checking your materials is within the rules." Minister Liu looked at Qin Chu coldly. Now he is an official and Qin Chu is a civilian.
