Jiang Ci stood not far away and happened to overhear the conversation of these soldiers.

He said to Huanying beside him: "Inform Ying Qi that as long as they sign the contract, each person will receive five kilograms of brown rice and three coins of silver today. Tell them that this is just a reward and is not included in the salary. They have family members. Those who are fleeing at the foot of the mountain can let them go down the mountain today to send these things down, and then they can rush back at noon tomorrow."

Huan Ying smiled and said: "Master is wise, if these people come down the mountain to deliver news, soon a large number of refugees will take the initiative to come up the mountain to seek refuge."

Jiang Ci thought for a moment: "The plague in Lingquan Town can be controlled in at most three days. After three days, Liu Bin will notice the movement here if he opens his hands. We must recruit 20,000 soldiers within three days. Enter the mountains directly from here.”

"I understand that I will order people to increase recruitment efforts in these three days. Three days should be enough."

Jiang Ci glanced at the soldiers and turned back to the camp.

Huan Ying walked directly to Ying Qi and told Ying Qi what her master had ordered.

Ying Qi praised: "Master, this is a good move. It saves us the time of going down the mountain to find people. But these boys won't take the food and money and run away, right?"

Huan Ying snorted softly: "Are you willing to give up your salary of more than ten taels a year and run away? Continuing to flee south will mean a narrow escape for them. They know what is good and what is bad."

Ying Qi thought this was the truth and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll notify you right away, and you'll have someone prepare the food and money."

After the two discussed it, they went to prepare.

More than two thousand soldiers were overjoyed because of the high salary, and Ying Qi brought another good news.

"The master has just personally promised that those who sign the contract will receive five kilograms of coarse grain and three coins of silver today. Moreover, these are only rewards for signing the contract and are not included in the monthly gift."

Everyone cheered after hearing this, and those who had doubts in their hearts also lowered their guard.

Before dark

Everyone received a bag of coarse grains and three coins in their hands. The soldiers who still had family members at the foot of the mountain took these things and happily went down the mountain together. What was left behind were orphans whose relatives were no longer alive, and they knelt in the snow. Li kowtowed three times in the direction of his hometown, which was considered as a message of peace to his deceased relatives.

The soldiers who came down the mountain told their families about the situation in the general camp. They were very happy to see their children bringing back food and money.

The news spread quickly, and many young people were planning to go to the mountains to join the army early tomorrow morning. There were also some middle-aged people who also wanted to go to the mountains to try their luck.

Recruitment was in full swing outside the city. While Yan Shu was treating patients, he taught all the doctors the five methods of treating the epidemic.

That night, Yan Shu and everyone else didn't sleep a wink, running back and forth in various rooms all night.

When the sky was slightly bright, all the more than a thousand patients had finally been seen. Yan Shu rubbed his sore arms, returned to his rest room, and fell asleep for a while.

Suddenly remembering that she had promised to prepare medicine for Li Shojing today, she got up from the bed, locked the door, and stepped into the space.

I went to the underground medicine room, took down a few white medicine bottles from a row of medicine shelves, sorted a month's worth of medicine and packed them in yellow paper, and then wrote a prescription to protect the liver and kidneys and precautions during taking the medicine. matters, taboos, etc.

After preparing all these, Yan Shu quickly took a hot bath in the space, dried his hair, put on his clothes, and hurried out of the space.

After taking a bath, he felt much more energetic. Yan Shu took the medicine and immediately walked out of the room and went directly to the main hall to find Li Shojing.

After Li Shojing got the medicine, he immediately ordered his men to prepare water. He opened the yellow paper bag in front of Yan Shu and saw that it was full of small white pills. He curiously picked up one and looked at it carefully.

"I have never seen this kind of pill before."

"This is the secret pill of our sect. Your Excellency has never seen it before."

Li Shojing didn't think much about it. He took the water handed to him by his subordinates and drank the medicine directly according to the dosage given by Yan Shu.

He was still a little doubtful: "Mrs. Jiang, can these few small pills really cure my tuberculosis?"

"You only need to take the dosage I told you, and with the help of the Chinese medicine on this prescription, you will definitely be cured within three months."

At this point, Yan Shu added another sentence: "While taking the medicine, please remember to have less sex. This prescription is a medicine that nourishes the liver and kidneys. Don't just nourish it here and then leak it out. It will be a waste of time to replenish and drain it." , and may also increase the burden on the liver and kidneys.”

Li Shojing blushed in embarrassment when he saw Yan Shu's straightforward words.

"I am not a romantic person like Qin Muchu, so I... I will keep myself clean."

A trace of ridicule flashed in the eyes of several officers standing nearby.

Yan Shu also took the opportunity to deliberately tease him.

"But why did I hear that there are many beautiful wives and concubines in your residence?"

"Ahem, those are a bunch of poor women. Yes, I kindly took them in because I saw how pitiful they were."

Yan Shu smiled: "In short, for the sake of your sexual happiness in the second half of your life, it is better to abstain from sex for these three months."

Li Shojing waved his hand and said impatiently: "I understand. You have been busy all day and night. Go and have a rest."

Yan Shu said: "I have one more thing to tell you, sir. I have been out for a while. My husband will come to pick me up tonight. I can leave the matter here to Dr. Qin and Dr. Heng. They are already very experienced. Even if I'm not here, there won't be any problem. As for the silver reward, I'll bother you to mention it to the Marquis."

Li Shojing was a little surprised: "Are you leaving?"

"My family is still waiting outside the city. The snow is getting heavier and heavier. I am really worried about them sleeping in the open air."

Li Shojing sighed and thought, no wonder this girl is so greedy for money. She must be so greedy for money in order to improve her family's life.

"Okay, I will inform the Marquis about the silver reward. After the plague here is resolved, you can come to Gucheng Yamen to collect it."

Yan Shu thanked him: "Thank you, sir!"
