Chapter Sixty-Eight: Trying the Medicine
Li Yi was dazzled by their shooting, and hurriedly thanked: "You have won the award, how can Li Yi dare to praise this victory, he is just doing his best." ”
Guo Huai shook his head and said: "Why should the handsome be too modest, you must know that the eyes of the common people are bright." Not to mention quelling the rebellion of the Sun thief and eliminating the scourge of swordsmen. Let's just say that this time the hungry people entered Yunnan, if they didn't have the extraordinary mind and courage, how could they dare to take such a big risk and calmly accept tens of thousands of hungry people. ”
"How can we, the countrymen, not sigh from the bottom of our hearts when we see what the handsome man does. Alas! It can be seen from this that the handsome man is so broad-minded and selfless! ”
Several other people from the fortress also praised each other and expressed their admiration for the rapid changes after Li Yi came to Yunnan.
Li Yi was about to say thank you again, but Lin Duo next to him stood up and walked in front of him quietly.
handed over a post in his hand and said, "The marshal is busy with affairs, and he has been working hard all day long, so we won't bother anymore." This is the money raised by our sixteen villages for the hungry. ”
Li Yi said 'oh', quickly stood up and took the gift list, browsed it a little, and saw that the list listed a list of the property provided by each village, mainly money, grain, cloth and other things, which are the items that Yunnan urgently needs at present.
couldn't help but sigh: "You are benevolent and kind, and you are deeply expected by tens of thousands of hungry people, but Li Yi doesn't know what to say." ”
"Please pay tribute to all the elders and fathers and fellow villagers on my behalf, and Li Yi understands your deep affection."
Guo Huai stood up and said unsatisfied: "The handsome man is polite, I'm just doing a little bit, it's a drop in the bucket, it's hard to quench hunger and thirst, I hope the handsome will forgive him." ”
"Oh! The marshal is busy with affairs, so I won't bother anymore and leave here. ”
After speaking, everyone stood up and hugged Li Yi to say goodbye one by one, but when it was Du Chuanxiu's turn, he just raised his eyebrows, glanced at him and turned away, making Li Yi secretly smile bitterly, it seemed that he had offended this guy thoroughly.
Everyone said goodbye one after another, and Li Yi no longer deliberately kept it.
Li Yi knew that this was Lin Duo's understanding that he had already worked hard for the starving people in Yunnan these days, and he couldn't bear to let himself be too tired, so he didn't say a few words and gave a gift list to leave.
Li Yi was moved in his heart, and kept sending them outside the mansion gate, and then waved goodbye.
Back in the house, a deacon stepped forward and handed over a list of materials sent by 16 villages including Lin Jiabao, which showed that these 16 villages had donated a total of 2,750 stone of food and 8,300 yuan of money.
Among them, Lin Jiabao and Guo Jiazhai each donated 400 stone of grain and 1,000 yuan, while Dujiazhuang is a large local grain producer, and 700 stone was donated for grain alone, and the money was also 500 yuan, according to their respective family backgrounds, this amount is not small.
Lin Yi, He Shoujie and others all went out to inspect the situation of the victims, and they couldn't be idle here, and they still didn't know the situation of the victims who had come to Ningzhou, but it was a little reassuring to Li Yi.
Li Yi called Lian Jun, Zhuang Qian, and Yue Chang, and walked with a few personal soldiers and walked towards the street.
There are a lot of hungry people on the streets, and these men, women, and children, young and strong women and children, are dragging their families and carrying their families, and they are patrolling the streets and alleys one after another.
Although most of them are still noodles and dishes, their food problems seem to be difficult to solve.
In addition to the porridge shops set up by the government, most of the shops and wealthy households on the street have consciously set up porridge sheds and set up porridge pots, and the smell of steaming porridge fills the streets and alleys.
In addition, medicinal soup drinking points have been set up at every intersection on the street, which is distributed free of charge to the hungry.
However, judging from the situation at the scene, not only did there not appear a crowd of people, but after observing for more than a quarter of an hour, almost no one took the initiative to drink. It seems that no one takes this seriously!
Li Yi was secretly anxious in his heart, how could it be done like this, if the hungry people did not take the initiative to drink the decoction, it would be difficult to improve their resistance to the virus, and the probability of suffering from infectious diseases would be much higher.
And these medical officers are also in the way of saving face, and they have no habit of shouting in the streets, nor do they take the initiative to guide the hungry people to come and drink.
If this continues, it will completely deviate from the original intention of preventing the plague, and it will be difficult to carry out the epidemic prevention work effectively, and the risk will not be greatly increased.
Li Yi couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Who is in charge here?" Why don't the hungry people come to drink the decoction? Do they still have any doubts? ”
Seeing Li Yi dressed in a purple robe and coming over to ask questions, an older medical officer hurriedly walked over and said: "Qiqi Dashuai, the next official is Yang Lequan, a medical doctor from Ningzhou, and we have already made two large barrels of 'Yinqiao Detoxification Powder' according to Mr. Xuanyuan's prescription, but after most of the day, there are only a few dozen hungry people who come to drink. ”
"According to the officials, most of these hungry people are resistant to this, feeling that we are discriminating against them, and do not understand our approach, and some even say that this is 'cutting off children and grandchildren', so no matter how we persuade them, they are not willing to come and drink it."
"And there are people coming and going here, and the personnel situation is very complicated, and when our people went up to persuade them, they were almost beaten by the hungry people. Alas! The task given to us by the marshal will not be completed. ”
Li Yi nodded, their difficulties are understandable, but no one drinks the hard-boiled decoction, which is absolutely not allowed, this is a major matter related to the people's own safety and the life and death of Yunnan, and it must be guaranteed that everyone can drink it, and no one can be an exception.
Thinking of this, Li Yi had an idea, and hurriedly motioned to Dr. Yang to pour himself a full bowl.
Then he picked it up and said loudly to the hungry people coming and going at the intersection: "Fellow villagers, please come here, I am Li Yi, the Xuanfu envoy of Yunnan, and I have come to visit you today." ”
"All of you have come all the way to Yunnan from your hometown, including me, all the people of Yunnan sincerely welcome all your fathers and fellow villagers. You may have seen the notices posted at the four gates on the streets, but there are many people who don't know what the notices are about and what we're doing it for. ”
"Therefore, Ben Shuai is here to solemnly announce again, please understand our good intentions. The purpose of drinking decoction is nothing more than to protect your health and prevent the spread of serious diseases, this is not for the villagers from southern Sichuan alone, but as long as all the people in Yunnan are not exceptional, including Ben Shuai, everyone must drink it. ”
"You have traveled so hard, you are already weak and have poor physique, if you can drink decoction medicine to improve your ability to prevent diseases, why should we refuse it!"
"What I want to tell you is that this is a special prescription provided by the old doctor Xuanyuan in Lingnan, the effect is very magical, as long as you drink it for seven days, it can not only prevent and dispel diseases, but also strengthen the body, and there is no harm to the body after drinking, you can rest assured."
After finishing speaking, Li Yi raised the medicine bowl and drank it all, but he felt a little awkward in his heart, he was so hard to drink, no matter how he looked at it, he felt like a Lang Zhong who went to the rivers and lakes to sell wild medicines, and he was not much different from the false advertising propagandists of later generations.
