In Shou'antang.

Tanglin Shuo was sitting on the upper seat, discussing something with the doctor in Shou'an Hall, and when he saw Chu Nanyue coming in, he eased his expression.

"It's not the plague, it's the wind chill." Seeing the worry in Chu Nanyue's eyes, Tanglin Shuo hurriedly said first. "But there seem to be a lot of people, and some of them have a tendency to worsen, and if they are not treated in time, I am afraid that something will happen."

Wind and cold also have the potential to be contagious, and refugees have no fixed place to live, so they all gather on the streets, and once the epidemic is large-scale, I am afraid it will be uncontrollable.

"General Chu, Sixth Highness, the person you just sent, the grass people have been rescued." The doctor said.

"Thank you, sir, for your wonderful rejuvenation." Chu Nanyue said happily.

The doctor was embarrassed and said, "General Chu, Your Highness Six, the grass people know that you are helping the refugees, and it is a good intention. However, the grass people also want to make money by opening a medical clinic to treat diseases, and this one is okay, if you have dozens of patients, we can't accept them here. ”

"Sir, slow, we won't let Mr. waste time and effort in vain, in my opinion, it is completely possible to make a deal and ensure that Mr. Shou'antang only makes money and does not lose money." Chu Nanyue thought for a while.

"Oh? Then General Chu might as well say come and hear it? "The doctor was a little interested.

"You take these patients, and in exchange, all the people in my general's mansion will only come to your hospital from now on. The purchase of precious medicinal materials is also only handled by your medical center. What do you think? Chu Nanyue discussed.

"General Chu will not be so deceitful to the grass people, although your conditions can make Shou'an Tang profitable, but it is not enough to let the grass people only make money and not lose money." The doctor smiled and shook his head.

Chu Nanyue was anxious, and was about to increase the remuneration again, when he heard Dongling Shuo speak: "What if you add me?" ”

"This ......," the doctor hesitated. His Royal Highness the Sixth is a prince, and he intends to have business dealings with Shou'an Hall, even if the profit is not much, it is also related to the royal family, what a great dignity.

"Of course, Mr. has been a doctor for generations, and probably doesn't care about the conditions we prescribe." Tanglin Shuo said, "Regardless of these conditions, I know what Shou'an Hall needs most. ”

Chu Nanyue understood what Donglin Shuo meant, and said aloud: "The doctor is benevolent, although Mr. does not make money this time, he can gain a good reputation, and the refugees are all grateful to Mr. for his medical virtue." After several generations, Shou'antang can still be respected and loved by the people, isn't it because of the high wind and bright festival of Mr. Ancestor? ”

"Shame shame!" The doctor arched his hand towards the two, "Everyone looks up to me so much, Shou'an Hall, at a time when the court is in difficulty, the grass people should be duty-bound, but the grass people are blinded by the benefits of money. Since the two of them spoke, this time Shou'an Hall will open a free clinic to treat the refugees' diseases for free! ”

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!" Chu Nanyue and Tanglin Shuo thanked each other.

On the same day, Shou An Tang set up a free clinic in the museum, accepted all the patients, and actively treated them.

The plight of the refugees has begun to bear fruit, and since then it has calmed down, and the refugees are no longer seen stealing and hurting people in the capital.

Emperor Longyan Dayue praised Chu Nanyue's proper strategy in the morning of the next day, and Dongling Shuo was also praised for his kindness and unfazed changes, making the royal family's reputation for loving the people like a son far and wide.

Through this matter, the ministers also greatly changed their opinion of Chu Nanyue, knowing that this person is quite strategic and should not be taken lightly.

According to Chu Nanyue's next step, the emperor ordered the cities near the drought to transfer grain together to relieve the disaster area.

After the rice and grain were in place, the governor was also sent to provide disaster relief at the same time in the hard-hit cities in the south, ensuring that no more victims continued to flow out of their hometowns.

In less than half a month, the number of refugees in the capital has not increased, but has decreased.

It turned out that there were two rains from the sky in the past half month, and the drought eased a little, giving some hope to the people who had left their homes.

Chu Nanyue knows that the original land will inevitably need people to cultivate, and the homes of refugees also need people to rebuild. She has not forgotten the promise she made at that time, that the refugees would not stay in the capital for a long time, and that she would properly resettle the refugees.

So Chu Nanyue gave an order to ask Zhou Yuanqi to summon all the refugees to the general's mansion.

The refugees knew in their hearts that it was Chu Nanyue who saved them this time, and they were already grateful. As soon as they heard that it was Chu Nanyue who summoned them to the mansion to discuss matters, they all went away in twos and threes.

When everyone was almost there, Chu Nanyue opened his mouth and asked sincerely: "Everyone is in the capital for half a month, is everything okay?" ”

The leader took the lead in replying: "Thanks to General Chu and His Royal Highness the Sixth, the grass people have food and clothing, and they can finally survive." ”

"So, what do you plan to do in the future?" Chu Nanyue asked again.

Everyone was silent, the drought was too urgent, and everyone left their hometown with the mentality of fighting for their lives and ran in a foreign land. Now that Chu Nanyue asked about their plans, they were at a loss in their hearts.

Chu Nanyue seemed to recall something, and said like a homely person: "I was out on a campaign, and I slept in the open after five years of stroke, and what I missed most at that time was still the grass and trees in the capital. Because this is my hometown, there are magnificent wonders in the frontier, but I always feel that it is not as good as here. I wonder if you feel the same way? ”

If given the opportunity to stay in their homeland, who would want to leave their homeland?

Touched by Chu Nanyue's words, everyone present was sad: "General Chu, everything is fine in the capital, but we, like you, miss our hometown more." Our ancestors have been rooted there for generations, not to survive, and we don't want to leave there. ”

Chu Nanyue nodded and said with a gentle smile: "You may not know that the imperial court has gone to your hometown to provide relief, and the people in the neighboring townships are even helping you rebuild your home, which is no longer the dilapidated scene it used to be." ”

Hearing this, the sound of people talking was heard in the crowd.

"Is this true or fake?"

"It's true, I have relatives in my neighboring township, and he asked someone to bring me a letter."

"General Chu has done so much for us, she won't lie to us......"

Chu Nanyue listened quietly to everyone's conversation, and did not interrupt, and only after everyone had made up their minds did she say: "Of course, everyone is up to everyone to decide whether to stay or go, if you don't want to go back, I will be responsible for finding some livelihood for everyone, and you can live in the capital." ”

Everyone was eager to return home, and they all shouted: "We have thought about it, we plan to return to our hometown to rebuild our homeland!" ”

"Good!" Chu Nanyue praised, "Yuan Qi, you will take someone to protect everyone and return to their hometown." It must cost you a lot to rebuild your home, and here is a hundred taels of silver, which is a little bit of my own heart, and I ask you to accept it. ”

The refugees thanked them again and then set out on their way home. There were a small number of refugees who were reluctant to run, and Chu Nanyue also helped them arrange errands, some worked as men in the shop, and some sold things in the stalls, and they all settled down.

As a result, stability was regained in the capital, and the people all praised Chu Nanyue's kindness.

Because of the people's aspirations, Chu Nanyue has gradually stabilized in the court, and is even more valued by the emperor.
