At first, the Crown Prince also didn't think it was expensive. Director Xiao had also mentioned the unit price of the herbs, but after they calculated the number of doses needed, the Crown Prince immediately realized that even if this proposal were submitted, the Ministry of Revenue wouldn't approve it.
He said, "Even if one dose of medicine only costs six wen, do you know how much medicine we need to distribute just in the capital?"
Manbao shook her head. How would she know?
She's not the county magistrate.
The Crown Prince said, "The capital has a total population of 334,670 households, summing up to 920,000 people. Among these 920,000 people, even if only one-third come to receive the medicine for summer heat, that would require 306,700 doses, and at six wen per dose, do you know how much that costs?"
Manbao was stunned for a moment and then said, "1,842,200 wen..."
