Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The last time Man Bao took out a bottle of medicine and distributed it to Imperial Physician Zheng and the others, he had a bitter look on his face. Bai Shan guessed that the pills were not cheap.

But the gold and silver in the world seems useless in the underworld. Anyway, he has never seen Man Bao worry about gold and silver, so the cost of these pills should be paid by his father-in-law.

He only knew that his father-in-law liked some flowers, plants and animals. Now that he thinks about it, it should be money that can be exchanged for the underworld.

Bai Shan smiled slightly, and whispered to Man Bao, "I heard that there are many deer on the grassland. When the time comes, I will buy you a live deer and send it to my father-in-law quietly..."

Man Bao's eyes lit up, and the whole person was happy. Even Keke, who has been silent all the time, said: "According to my scan, there are many kinds of deer on the grassland, such as red deer, white-lipped deer, tufted deer, sika deer, etc. In addition to deer, the host can also collect sheep. Divided into many kinds, such as argali, high-nosed antelope..."

Man Bao hurriedly said in his mind: "I see, we'll talk about it when we get to the grassland, Keke, we have to take it slow."

Keke said he understood, "Just to remind the host, in fact, there are many creatures worth collecting on the grassland, these are just relatively large animals, and there are many cherished plants. The host used to collect plants in the mountains and forests, this time you can appreciate it. The scenery of the prairie."

Man Bao also looked forward to it in his heart, so he said to Bai Shan, "Go and come back quickly."

She then remembered, "Is it because you chose to count the villages at this time because the capital is coming?"

"Yes," Bai Shan said, "This time Erlang and I will bring some defenders and send them back to the city when we find the patient. The doctors over there in the capital are coming soon, so they will have a place to use them."

Man Bao: ...I thought she would be more relaxed after they arrived. Who knew that there would be more doctors and more patients?

Bai Shan pointed in one direction and said, "The county government plans to choose another piece of land to build a medical shed in the suburbs south of the city, and the people who are sent here can live there. Construction has already started today, and it can be built in two or three days.

The medical shed is made of wood and thatch. It is not difficult, but the wood needs to be cut down and the thatch needs to be collected and purchased.

But these all work, albeit with a little difficulty.

Man Bao sighed and understood, "We will be ready."

Bai Shan gave her another bowl of soup and said, "Drink more, I think you've lost weight."

Man Bao looked at Bai Shan and said sincerely, "You have lost weight too."

Two days later, Zhou Liru, who was standing in front of Man Bao, also hugged his aunt and cried, "Little aunt, you have lost weight."

Liu Sanniang and Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao on the side agreed with them.

Man Bao was shocked, "Why are you all here?"

As a senior brother, Zheng Gu replied on behalf of everyone, "The Taiyuan Hospital has posted an order. As a medical assistant in the Taiyuan Hospital, I can't fall behind the private doctors, so I signed up together. And the master is here, as a disciple, I should wait by my side."

Man Bao asked, "It's okay for the three of you, why did Li Ru come?"

She has only been studying for a few years, and although she has a little appearance now, she can't sit in the hall independently at all.

Zhou Liru hurriedly said: "Little aunt, I'm here to help you, I heard from the official, you don't even have a handy helper here, brothers and sisters can prescribe independently, they can see patients by themselves, and I will Hit you up."

Then he avoided people and whispered: "I came to see because I was worried about my aunt and second sister."

Everyone came and couldn't rush back. Man Bao nodded and said, "Okay, you can stay with me. Have you eaten the pills I sent back?"

"Eat it, auntie, it tastes like the candy you gave us when we were young."

Man Bao complained in his heart: The taste is similar, but the price is not the same at all. You can buy a lot of that kind of candy with one point, but this one costs more than 1,000 points.

Oh, yes, after several transactions, it has now reached 1,800 points.

Man Bao touched his heart and asked, "Everyone in the family ate it too?"

Zhou Liru nodded, "Eat all, even the servants in the family."

The servants are all from the Bai family, but in the letter Man Bao sent back, it was stated that one of the servants in the family would be given to each servant, so as not to catch the disease when going out.

Man Bao nodded, turned to look for Liu Sanniang and asked, "Did I send the medicine bottle I sent back to the prince?"

"Yes, I personally watched the Crown Princess and the little grandson take it. The remaining one, because His Royal Highness was not there, so I didn't see it with my own eyes. The concubine said that Your Highness has already used it." Liu Sanniang paused for a while and then laughed in a low voice: "Prince Concubine also said that this medicine is like a sugar pill, and Your Highness talked about it for a while after taking it."

Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Just eat it."

Liu Sanniang said hesitantly, "Little girl, Li Zhong is here too."

Man Bao stared, "Why is he here too?"

Liu Sanniang said, "The main reason he brought the food was that the family couldn't worry about my aunt and uncle, so I asked him to come with us."

In fact, after they received the letter from the official, Zhou Lizhong decided to follow them to Xiazhou as soon as the announcement of the recruitment of doctors from the yamen came out.

He set aside half a year's food for the restaurant and home, and he took all the food from his sister-in-law's Lumi and the summer and autumn harvests from the farm in Pu Village, and came to Beijing with the imperial court team.

This time, the Imperial Army will send the medicinal materials and people to Xiazhou in person, because his wife and sister are in the team, and he is Zhou Man's nephew, so the people at the court are also very concerned about them.

Liu Sanniang said, "As soon as he entered the city today, he was invited by the grain store manager in the city, and the yamen also went, all wanting to buy grain from him."

In fact, Xiazhou is not very short of grain now, and the autumn harvest this year is still good. Yang Heshu and Bai Shan have calculated in private that the people have surplus grain in their homes, and there will be no starvation to death.

But under the epidemic, people are panicking and food prices have risen. The yamen side has to take out food to appease people's hearts. The common people may still have food in stock, but there are not many on the yamen side.

Moreover, there is still half a year before the summer harvest after the epidemic. This year, because the epidemic has affected farming, the food prices in Xiazhou will definitely soar from March to June next year.

Ordinary people may not think of this, but they have their own way of survival, and they will definitely save some food.

As a result, there is very little food circulating on the market now.

Zhou Lizhong took people to transport the grain to the city gate, but did not let the tenants who were escorting the tenants enter the city, but directly sent a letter to Shirou Lang, and then opened a grain bag to distribute some grain to them, "This is the road on the road. You can go back together now, take the documents we have come all the way, you have not entered Xiazhou City, and you have not been in contact with smallpox patients, you can pass the checkpoint."

He added: "When I get home, my father will settle the wages to you."

That's right, Zhou Lizhong didn't invite anyone outside at all. The workers of the ten grain trucks were all tenants from Pu Village. They had agreed before they came that they only needed to send the grain out of Xiazhou City without entering the city.

See you tomorrow
