Yu Jiao shook her head calmly, "I'm just gambling, the Sihe River has not been desilted in time, and there has been a lot of rain in the north since the beginning of summer this year, so it is inevitable that there will be major floods." ”

"Miss Yu doesn't have to be presumptuous, she has to be bold and careful in business." Steward Zhou said with a smile.

Yu Jiao smiled faintly, and said, "It's inconvenient for me to go out, and I have to trouble Manager Zhou to help you inquire about the disaster situation in other places and the price of grain in the north now, I heard that Danzhou was seriously affected, I plan to sell the grain to Danzhou, and two percent of these grains are Gu Xiaohou to help the victims, and I will help Gu Xiaohou Ye to give porridge and charity in the most severely affected places." ”

"Okay." Steward Zhou said, "I arranged for someone to go to Danzhou, Miss Yu, I heard that the two counties around the Lanshu Canal were all flooded, and the disaster was also very serious, do you want to take out some of the grain and give porridge in Qingzhou first?" ”

Yu Jiao didn't respond directly, but said, "Let's find out about the situation first." ”

Qingzhou is certainly much less affected than Danzhou, and if there is a need, she will give up 20% of her part of the food to help refugees in Qingzhou.

Steward Zhou was very fast, and in the middle of the afternoon, he sent three baskets of coarse charcoal and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the Yu family had their first hot meal after the flood.

Yu Zhixing came back from Mengjia Village and Lijia Village, and the news he brought back was neither good nor bad, Yu Huangqi's family was safe and sound, and when the flood came, thanks to Yu Jiao's reminder, their family climbed onto the roof and escaped.

Yu Licorice's family was not so lucky, the old house collapsed, and her mother-in-law was buried by the collapsed wall, and when she was rescued, the person had already gone.

When the Zhang family heard that the thief old woman of the Li family had gone, he almost didn't scream, and secretly said that the retribution was not happy, the thief old woman used to grind licorice like that, and the methods were vicious, it can be seen that God is still open-eyed, otherwise the Li family is all good, and just take the vicious woman away?

Just thinking that the licorice was still pregnant, the Li family's house collapsed, and they couldn't eat, and Yu Licorice had to have a place to live with a big belly, so Zhang asked Yu Zhixing to go to Lijia Village and asked him to take Yu Licorice back to live.

The next few days were all sunny days, which gave the people with a haze in their hearts a chance to take a breather, and when Steward Zhou asked people to send the news, Yu Jiao was seeing people.

All of them were villagers in Qingyu Village, three or four people were infected with typhoid fever, and the other seven or eight people were all suffering from diarrhea, and they almost lost half their lives, and the most susceptible symptom after the flood still appeared - dysentery.

It's not schistosomiasis, which makes Yu Jiao breathe a sigh of relief, although dysentery can also kill people, but there is medicine to treat, schistosomiasis is beyond the medical level of this era, and it is difficult to treat without Western medicine.

Yu Jiao methodically prescribed prescriptions and asked these people to go to the town to grab medicine.

There are a few people whose houses have collapsed, and the family's money has been washed away by the water, and they can't afford to go to the town to get medicine.

Yu Jiao lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "Yes, but some medicinal materials need to be dried before they can be used in medicine, otherwise the efficacy of the medicine will be affected." ”

She got up and went to the herb room, and used the medicinal materials wrapped in oiled cotton paper to prepare the dosage of several people, "You take these medicines back first, let your family go to the mountains to collect medicines, bring them to me, and exchange the wet herbs collected for these medicines." ”

These people hurriedly took the medicine, thanked them repeatedly, and asked about the relevant matters of going up the mountain to collect medicine.

Yu Jiao looked at Yu Poria on the side and said, "Sister, I need to trouble you to take them to the mountain to identify medicinal materials, I have other things to do." ”

Yu Poria took a sip, "Okay." ”

She said to the people, "When you ask your family to come over, I will go up the mountain with them and teach them to identify these herbs on the recipe." ”

The men hurriedly nodded.

Yu Jiao advised, "This disease is caused by the unclean food in the mouth, the food must be cooked, you need to be careful, the well water in the village should not be used anymore, go to the mountains to get clean spring water for cooking." ”

These people responded one by one before taking the medicine and leaving.

"If only we had a pharmacy at home." Yu Lingling watched a few people leave and sighed.

Yu Jiao didn't think about hoarding a batch of medicinal materials, but she asked Gu Yun to buy grain at that time, and all the two thousand taels of silver she had accumulated were taken out.

If she is reborn in the prince's mansion and has mountains of gold and silver at home, she can be a living bodhisattva generously.

invited the man sent by Steward Zhou into the house, Yu Jiao said politely, "I've kept you waiting." ”

"It's okay, Steward Zhou asked the little one to tell you, in the two counties where the canal flows, most of the houses in more than 20 villages have been washed away, and the refugees have entered the city to beg for food, the grain price in Qingzhou has risen to nine yuan and one stone, and the grain price in Changkui was eight yuan yesterday, and it has risen to eight and a half yuan today, and when the small one came over, I saw that several grain shops were surrounded by people." The man said respectfully.

"What's going on in the Qingzhou Mansion?" Yu Jiao asked.

The man said, "The Qingzhou government did not stop the refugees from entering the city, but there was no news of the need to release food for disaster relief, it is estimated that it is to wait for the imperial court to issue a will." ”

Yu Jiao nodded, and asked again, "Is there any news from Danzhou?" ”

The man shook his head, "The people who went to Danzhou haven't come back yet, Steward Zhou asked the little one to ask you, can you sell a batch of grain in Qingzhou first?" It seems that there is not much grain in several major grain stores in Qingzhou, and they are all thinking about collecting grain in private! Steward Zhou means that our grain can be sold directly to the grain store, and we can also make a lot of money. ”

Yu Jiao shook her head, "Let Steward Zhou find a shop in the two counties affected by the disaster, and arrange for us to sell grain by ourselves." ”

As for giving porridge and food, we have to wait a few more days.
