Chapter Eighty-Five: Something Different

After more than 20 days of hard work, the overflow of the Zhigu Haihe River and the accumulation of a large amount of rainwater have significantly receded, especially the more than a dozen drainage canals excavated, which have discharged the water accumulated in this vast land to other places. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I think this place needs to dig another one," Ma Qi and two geographers analyzed the current situation: "Otherwise, we will make a small cofferdam and enclose the water in this area first." ”

The sound of "tuk tuk" came from far and near, and it turned out to be a horse and entered the tent. He was wearing rain boots, and the sound was the sound of these rain boots stepping on the ground, this kind of clogs rain boots are also called water shoes, put on the outside of the shoes, like home slippers, it is quite convenient to wear - at first glance, he looks like he has just returned from a waterlogged area in the city.

"How is it," Ma Qi looked up and said, "The water must have fallen a lot." ”

"It's down," Ma He took off his shoes lightly, and looked a little pained: "I looked at the water meter above, and it dropped three points at once, saying that it would be possible to go into the water to retrieve the corpse in a few days." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Ma Qi looked at him and couldn't help but be concerned.

"This shoe is slippery," Ma He shook his head: "I've fallen several times, and I knew that I would wrap a layer of iron sheet in the sole of my shoe, even if I hit two nails on it, it wouldn't be so easy to fall." ”

"I still have bone-setting medicine there, you can use some quickly," Ma Qi said: "Where did you really fall, Your Highness will not be able to use your strength when you support the envoy - oh yes, it was three quarters of an hour ago, a batch of grain and a batch of medicine came, Your Highness asked you for account books, you hurry over and take a look, don't mistake this." ”

Ma He said "ouch", put on his wet shoes and galloped away, and Ma Qi couldn't even hear several screams behind him. When he arrived at King Yan's tent, he saw that there was another team of people not far away who were carrying things down, and there were still several doctors from pharmacies next to him.

"Your Highness," Ma He said, "the account books are here." ”

Yan Wang was looking at the medical case, that is, the list of medicines for the diagnosis and treatment of the few patients who were suspected of typhoid fever epidemic who had been isolated, and when he heard this, he said: "You go to count and register, and see that this batch of grain is enough to eat for a few days." ”

"It's enough to eat for more than a month. Ma He said with a smile.

"This is the largest batch of grain after the opening of the official warehouse," King Yan's heart moved, and he raised his head: "Which grain merchant transported it?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Your Highness," Ma He said: "This grain merchant is not an outsider, and he is also an authentic relative of the palace." ”

"Who is it?" King Yan frowned: "It is impossible for the feudal clans to send grain over, and the Xu family is far away in Kyoto, so I can't help if I have a heart, in addition to these, how come I don't know that I have a family of relatives who can do business?"

"Why did His Royal Highness forget the princess's relatives," Ma He said: "The princess has a second brother, named Zhang Sheng, who went to Shanxi this time and raised a total of 13,000 stone of grain back, and sent it to Zhigu. ”

At this time, King Yan was very surprised, and said, "What you said is true, where are the people?"

"Zhang Sheng didn't come, it was his men who came to deliver the grain," Ma He said: "I think he knows the ins and outs of the matter, does His Highness want to call him in and ask?"

King Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Call him in." ”

Ma He led the men in, and stood guard outside the tent, and when he saw the ambassador of the pharmacy coming, he asked, "Is benzoin enough now?"

"Enough is enough," the ambassador said happily, "I can prepare enough Three Treasures, and now each person can increase the dose every day, and the Three Treasures are effective in dealing with fever diseases." ”

"I think it's almost a month," Ma He said: "Since there is no one who senses it, then this disease can almost be qualified, it is a warm disease, but in a few days, His Highness will no longer be able to stop the corpse, and then it will be regarded as a great enemy." ”

"Speaking of which, I, Ma He, am a disciple of Buddhism," Ma He couldn't help but sigh: "Buddhism takes Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha as the three treasures, but in the face of natural and man-made disasters, these three treasures have no effect, but the three treasures of traditional Chinese medicine, Zhibao Dan Zixue Dan and Niuhuang Pill, are good prescriptions for curing diseases and saving people, but such things, because of the rarity of medicinal materials, are not available to ordinary people." When will one day such a hard-to-find thing as benzoin Su Hexiang fly into the homes of ordinary people, so that people will no longer suffer from seeking medicine?"

"That's right," the pharmacy ambassador also sighed, "I heard that rhino horn and pepper benzoin, which are scarce in China, are found in foreign and wild places.

As he said this, his mouth became slurred, and he did not dare to go on. There is no other reason, and now the matter of banning the sea is a major national policy, especially in the case of rampant piracy and piracy along the coast, this ban has reached the point where "no sail is allowed to go to sea, one person who goes to sea is beheaded, two people who go to sea are beheaded by their families, and those who go to sea by more than three people are punished by their clan."

The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, and he couldn't help but secretly look at Ma He's expression, but saw that Ma He's expression had not changed, only his dark eyes had slightly floated up and down, and a faint light shot out of it.

The food here in Zhigu is sufficient, and Dong'an also feels a lot less stressed, and what is even happier is that of the about 1,100 people gathered in the nursing home, only seven people are sick, and seven of them are all fever-sick, because no one has been infected, which is the most fortunate thing.

But there is a bad thing, because among these seven people, there is a child who also has a fever, and this child is Feifei. When she had a fever, Zhang Zhaohua was the first to find out, because Zhang Zhaohua liked her, so he kept her by his side, and when he slept at night, he also slept in his arms - so when he got sick, he woke Zhang Zhaohua up, it was the middle of the night, and Zhang Zhaohua didn't dare to scream loudly, for fear of alarming the princess, and also afraid of alarming the victims in the courtyard.

She quietly summoned Huang Yan and asked Feifei to wrap her back and go to the doctor. When Huang Yan came back, it had been more than an hour, and he said that Feifei was suffering from a warm illness.

Warm disease is also contagious, but the fatality rate is not high, Zhang Zhaohua is still very worried about Feifei, after all, this is a child, and the medication for children is still different from that of adults.

However, looking at Huang Yan's expression, there seems to be something hidden.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Zhaohua asked, "Is there anything wrong with Feifei?"

"Not really," Huang Yan looked different, and said: "When the slave maid carried Feifei to the East Courtyard, she passed by the West Wing, that is, the grain merchant from Shandong's ancestral hometown, Xu Yunlong and his party lived, they were very strange, none of them slept, the lights were still on, and they didn't know what they were discussing." ”

"No," Zhang Zhaohua said, "It's all the time, don't you sleep all night?"
