Chapter 1025: Gathering Momentum
When many people thought that the people in the plague area would die one after another, the new governor miraculously brought a prescription in the shortest possible time, and this prescription was precisely for the current spreading plague.
The most commendable thing is that the prescription for dealing with the plague is very simple, and does not require expensive medicinal materials, and almost all of the medicinal materials used can be found in the northwest.
One of its most important medicinal materials is the herb that used to be used everywhere in the northwest.
Old Lady Su hadn't understood why Chu Huan had sent someone to collect a large amount of Herb Herb before, and it wasn't until the prescription came out that he suddenly realized.
In addition to the herb, there are also a few medicinal materials, but they are very common, not expensive, Shuoquan City has a lot of medicinal herb dealers, knowing that the governor has ordered the collection of medicinal materials to prepare an antidote to save the people, they spontaneously donated a lot of medicinal materials, and the donated medicinal materials, sent to the outside of the city, and Xiguan Qi before the collection of the herb, boiled into medicine, distributed to the patients infected with the plague.
To everyone's admiration, the Governor's prescription was not hidden, but posted everywhere, so that ordinary people could prepare the antidote according to the published prescription without even having to bother the doctor.
The prescription spread quickly, spreading throughout Xiguan Province, but within a few days, almost all the men, women and children in Xiguan Province knew the formula for dealing with the plague, and everyone knew that this prescription was brought by the new governor.
When people were desperately waiting for a catastrophe to come, Chu Huan's arrival brought this catastrophe to an abrupt end, although there were still many people who died under the plague, but the emergence of the prescription allowed most people to survive, many people who had been infected with the plague had been sitting and waiting for death, waiting for the arrival of death, who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, they would be able to regain their lives, whether it was the infected or the patient's family, they were all grateful to Chu Huan.
No one can snatch this credit, when the Xiguan government was helpless and the doctors shook their heads, Chu Huan climbed to the top of the city and told the people that he had a way to deal with the plague, and in a blink of an eye, he showed the priceless formula announcement, everyone only felt that it was Chu Huan who saved everyone, Chu Huan himself did not even estimate the huge gain that this matter brought him, and many patients who turned the corner even worshiped the governor at home because of this, and regarded him as a reincarnation immortal.
The people were superstitious, and at first they were just grateful to Chu Huan for bringing peace to everyone, but soon in the midst of people's discussions, they felt that when bad luck came, Chu Huan fell from the sky and brought the gospel, which is by no means accidental, maybe it is really the sky with eyes, seeing that the Li people of Xiguan have just suffered from the war, and they can't bear to suffer from the Li people of Xiguan again, so they sent Chu Huan to rescue the people.
The people of the northwest are fierce, but the people of the northwest are the most simple, they have an account in their hearts, under normal circumstances, they can distinguish right from wrong, Chu Huan brought the formula, rescued Li Min, in the hearts of the people, Chu Huan is a good official, many people have been bleak about the future of Xiguan, but after this incident, the heart has given birth to hope, Chu Daren can lift a catastrophe, many people faintly feel that the new governor may not be able to take the people of Xiguan to revitalize their homes.
Although the Household Department is not under Chu Huan's control, it is related to the survival of the people in Xiguan, and this kind of thing must not be sloppy, so it is still under Chu Huan's orders to actively carry out rescue.
The prescription spread all over Xiguan, and all the prefectures and counties in Xiguan also received orders issued by the Governor's Palace, and actively carried out rescue, organized local doctors and people to cook the antidote according to the prescription, and the people were organized to collect medicinal materials, and a movement to resist the plague rose in Xiguan, for nearly ten consecutive days, Chu Huan went out of the city to inspect and inspect the rescue work.
Chu Huan was relieved to see that the plague in Xiguan had gradually calmed down.
While resisting the plague, Chu Huan naturally will not forget to set up a new salt bureau, there are not many people who know that Chu Huan is ready to make salt on a large scale, only a very few people know that Chu Huan will use the new salt to revitalize the economy of Xiguan, so after the establishment of the new salt bureau, many people do not understand why Chu Huan wants to set up such a yamen, although Dong Shizhen is full of doubts, but he can't openly stop it, after all, in extraordinary times, the government occasionally sets up some special institutions yamen, which is also a commonplace thing, just like resisting the plague, Chu Huan set up a "disaster relief committee." So many people know that this new salt bureau may be related to salt, but what does it have to do with it, there are only a handful of people who know the inside story.
The new salt bureau was established, and Du Fugong was appointed as the first director of the new salt bureau, Chu Huan did not use the name "director", he always felt that there was a certain category, but he felt that the word manager was not bad.
The day after Du Fugong took office, there was a sum of money into the New Salt Bureau, there are not many officials in the New Salt Bureau, this is Chu Huan's yamen that holds the economic lifeline, so the officials inside must be confidants, in addition to Du Fugong, Chu Huan transferred Sun Zikong to the New Salt Bureau as Du Fugong's deputy, Sun Zikong is clever, Chu Huan doesn't want him to do anything big, in fact, he knows very well that with Du Fugong's ability, it is enough to keep the New Salt Bureau in order, and transfer Sun Zikong to it, just so that Du Fugong can have a handy person.
If the name is not right, it is not good, so Chu Huan gave Chu Huan the name of the deputy chief, after this order was issued, Sun Zikong never fell asleep for several days, he never thought that one day, he could also become an official of the government, he only hoped to have the opportunity to return to his hometown, wear the official mansion, and walk in front of his favorite widow Wang, he once had a crush on the widow Wang with a big ass, but he was ashamed of himself, and only buried this relationship in his heart, and now he is getting ahead, he wants to fly to the widow Wang, let her understand, He is already a fish leaping dragon gate.
In addition, Chu Huan discussed with Su Bo, and asked Su Bo to temporarily enter the New Salt Bureau, temporarily helping in it, Su Bo has been following Linlang to take care of Shengquan's business, the old man is serious, has rich management experience, and has an old family, if there is a treasure, although Su Bo is old, but the New Salt Bureau has this old man, but if there is a treasure of the town bureau.
In addition, Chu Huan transferred fifteen guards from the guards, and obeyed Du Fugong's dispatch, and the new salt bureau initially established was a very simple yamen, but Chu Huan knew that this would be his biggest help in the future.
According to Pei Ji's words, Chu Huan took a part of the property sent from the Guannei in the name of Linlang and injected it into the New Salt Bureau, the New Salt Bureau has this fund, the first step is to go to Xixia Mountain to build a salt farm, the new salt has not yet been produced, so the new Salt Bureau is not a big deal, Du Fugong personally went to Xixia Mountain to supervise the construction of the salt field.
Although the salt farm did not use the silver of the seven surnames of Xiguan, the old lady Su was still very active in this matter, and dispatched the Su family's helpers to Xixia Mountain to build the salt farm.
After the construction of the salt farm in Xixia Mountain, Dong Shizhen of course did not know that he was going to build a salt farm here, although he sent someone to inquire about the situation over there, he still knew what the purpose of building a house in Xixia Valley was, and Dong Shizhen was also confused.
The weather in Xiguan also began to heat up, and Zhao Xin, the head of the military department who was fat, felt the heat in advance than ordinary people, but when someone from the governor's palace summoned him, the heat on Zhao Xin's body disappeared.
Chu Huan met Zhao Xin in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Xin was very strange, I don't know why Chu Huan suddenly summoned him, but when he saw Chu Huan, Chu Huan smiled and asked about some trivial matters in the Ministry of War, and Zhao Xinben's somewhat tense heart relaxed slightly.
"Director Zhao, in fact, I came to you today because I want to ask you for some advice." When the first cup of tea was drunk and the second cup of tea was added, the smile on Chu Huan's face began to converge, and he asked seriously: "I heard Chief Zhao talk about it last time, but now in the arsenal, there are only a small number of spears and shields, I don't know if this governor is wrong?" ”
Zhao Xin suddenly became alert, but still said with a smile: "My lord is not mistaken, the arsenal does not have any equipment now, and the lower officials have submitted it to the military department several times, hoping to allocate new equipment and equipment, but the adults also know that now the six yamen, which are all around the southeast, whether the money, food, equipment and horses, are all transferred to the southeast, the first few times, the military department replied to let us settle down a little, but later presented it, like a stone sinking into the sea, there is no reply." ”
"It's not easy." Chu Huan sighed and stared at Zhao Xin, "It seems that Director Zhao has not been in office for long...... I heard that it was Governor Zhu who raised the imperial court, and when you fought with Xiliang, you made military exploits, and your credit is not small......! ”
When Zhao Xin heard the words "Zhu Lingyue", he was even more vigilant, kept smiling, and said: "If the country is in trouble, the man should serve the field." ”
"Well said." Chu Huan picked up the teacup and blew the end of the tea leaves, "By the way, Director Zhao, the former director of the Military Department of Xiguan Dao, seems to be called ......!" After thinking about it, he said, "It seems to be called Chun Yuhuan, right?" ”
Zhao Xin already strongly felt that Chu Huan's words were hidden at this time, he knew that although the governor in front of him was young, he was by no means a general, and he didn't know why Chu Huan mentioned the former head of the Ministry of War at this time, knowing that there might be a trap, he thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "My lord is right, the former head of the Ministry of War is Chun Yuhuan, but ...... This person is suspected of betraying the country because of his collusion with the Xiliang people, so he ......! ”
"The Governor knows, the Governor knows." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Gongsun Chu was escorted to the execution ground a few times ago, and many officials were about to be beheaded. ”
Zhao Xin nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Gongsun Chu's case, this governor has already submitted it to the imperial court, whether there is a traitor or not, the imperial court has its own conclusion, and before the will of the imperial court comes, we can't wronged them." Chu Huan said earnestly: "Now Gongsun Chu and that group of officials are imprisoned by the governor, whether they are killed or released, waiting for the will of the imperial court, but the governor of Japan in the past two days interrogated a few words casually, but he tried some things from Chunyu Huankou, so I asked Director Zhao to come over today to make sure." ”
