Chapter 11 The Food Problem

"Thank you, thank you, Childe." The prefect was overjoyed, this prince actually had a pill to prevent plague, does this mean that the people of the upstream county have been saved?

When the common people knew that it was the new god of war who came to treat them and water and fire, all the people who could move came to kneel in front of them, kowtowing and begging Jun Lichen to save them.

The cry of blood was very unbearable to listen to.

"General Ben brought a group of doctors over this time, and he has already thought of a way to treat you, but you must line up for treatment in an orderly manner, don't fight or grab, if anyone dares to mess around, don't blame General Ben for killing without mercy." Jun Lichen's words have been heard for a long time, and they are deeply imprinted on the tips of their hearts.

Although all the people shrank at Jun Lichen's words, they still missed him and kowtowed to him to thank him.

The situation is urgent, Qiao Xi took his own people and the two extra imperial doctors Zhang Dayuan, Yang Chengdong sat down at a table, and the rest of the imperial doctors glanced at Qiao Xi and went to Langzhong's side, they didn't want to be with him.

Qiao Xi divided the people into two teams, the one with serious illness, the one with slight illness, and the one with serious illnesses were all taken by her, and the other team was all allocated to Zhang Dayuan, Yang Chengdong, and Lily.

The people brought by Qiao Xi are doing hands-on things, but every time Qiao Xi takes the pulse, he will explain the condition in front of those people, and the condition of each patient is different, and the prescriptions prescribed have also been adjusted.

Qiao Xi saw his doubts in his eyes, but he really didn't have time to explain them at this time, and he would explain them in a unified manner later.

For people with serious symptoms, she can only add a few more flavors to the decoction to suppress the condition, and also have to prepare some external ointments, things are not as easy as imagined.

Zhang Dayuan and Yang Chengdong were deeply touched, but they didn't expect that this son was young, but his medical skills were very smart, and the divine doctor Qingya was just like that, and following him, they learned a lot of things that they hadn't encountered before, and he taught them without reservation, which made them admire him.

Medical skills, which are not to protect them to the death, but he did not hesitate to teach them all.

Seeing that Qiao Xi was young, many people didn't trust him very much in his medical skills, and many people switched to Cai Zhenghua and Cai Taiyi.

Cai Zhenghua looked at the old leader of the queue on his side, and couldn't help but feel nervous, and glanced at Qiao Xi defiantly.

Jun Lichen was not idle, he asked the prefect to go back to rest for a morning, and he was led by the officials, and asked the soldiers to beat gongs and drums to proclaim that the boiled decoction for the prevention of plague was distributed in Dongcheng, and provided to the people for free, and porridge was also distributed for free.

After hearing the news, the people, who had long been panicked, knew that Jun Lichen personally brought a group of imperial doctors to treat them, and the uninformed people were grateful, and their hostility towards the imperial court was much less.

But there are also those who are not grateful, there was a case of too much healing to kill people before, because of the timely suppression, it did not spread, but there are still a small number of people who know, and the people who know about this matter have not been infected with the plague except for those who have died, so when they heard this news, they directly scoffed, they no longer believed in the imperial doctor, and they did not go to Dongcheng to use the free preventive decoction, let alone get those porridge.

"General Ben knows that everyone is working very hard, and the loss of relatives makes everyone feel painful, but if the corpses are not incinerated, the plague in the upper counties will not be cured, and of course more people will die, please bear the pain for yourself and the lives of others, and cooperate with the work of the doctors." Seeing the people who came to receive the soup and porridge, Jun Lichen said sadly.

Jun Lichen's words moved the people very much, the dead are gone, and the living should look forward.

"General Ben hereby promises that as long as the plague is not extinguished, General Ben will not leave for a day." In order to appease the restless hearts of the common people, Jun Lichen also made a promise.

When the people heard this, they all rejoiced.

"This is the basic way to prevent the plague, as long as everyone persists, the plague will be completely solved, and the upstream county will return to its original prosperity." This was Qiao Xi's idea for him, and she said that only with the cooperation of the people could the plague be eliminated as soon as possible and effectively.

"Support the generals."

"For the sake of our upstream county, everyone works together to fight the plague, and we will definitely be able to defeat the plague." Some of the people who shouted the slogan were arranged by Jun Lichen, but they just resonated with the people.

Qiao Xi has a saying that makes a lot of sense, psychological treatment is far more effective than physical treatment.

In fact, it is true that as long as the people who came to Dongcheng on that day spontaneously took the quicklime back, and took the initiative to let the officials and soldiers go to their homes to sprinkle preventive potions.

For those who died in the people, they did not insist, but took the initiative to hand over the bedding and the things used by the deceased, and burned them directly on the street, and most of the people in the city entered the battle against the plague.

Jun Lichen looked at the ordinary people who took the initiative to cooperate, and his face showed a hint of relief, at least this was a good sign.

"General."

"What's the matter, say."

"We found that there are about a dozen families in the southern district, whose doors are closed and unwilling to cooperate with the treatment." A patrolling soldier came to Jun Lichen and told him what he had discovered.

"Do you know what's going on?" Jun Lichen asked with a frown.

"This-" There were people all around, and the soldiers were really a little difficult to speak, worried that the hearts of the people who had just stabilized would collapse because of his words.

Jun Lichen saw that something was wrong with the soldiers, and it was very likely that his words would shake the hearts of the people who had just stabilized, "Take General Ben to take a look." ”

When the people saw that Jun Lichen was going to go in person, their good impression of him deepened again.

It wasn't until he left the people's sight that Jun Lichen stopped, "Say, what's going on?" ”

"Back to the general's words, a few imperial doctors came before, among them, the imperial doctors treated people to death, and now those people are very disgusted with the imperial doctors, and even the local Langzhong they don't let them look at it. Since that incident, they have stayed at home and refused to have a doctor treat them. The soldier shuddered, and reported truthfully.

"General Ben knows. Let's go down. Jun Lichenhui retired soldiers, stood in place and thought about it, then returned to West Street, found Qiao Xi, and told her about the situation.

After Qiao Xi heard this, her expression was a little solemn, there were so many people here that she really couldn't leave for a while, the soldier said, I think those people are still safe for the time being, and they have not been infected with the plague, and there should be no big problem in waiting for a night, so I will show the people in my hands first, "Why don't we go over there early tomorrow morning to see what the situation is?" ”

"It's fine." It was obviously winter, and when I saw that she was sweating on her forehead, she must be tired, so I wanted to help her wipe the sweat away, but she had to endure it, which made her dress up in men's clothes.

This day is spent in this busyness, and both energy and physical strength have a tendency to overdraw.

Cai Zhenghua saw that Qiao Xi and they were not leaving, so he had to compete with him, so he gritted his teeth and persevered, but he had already scolded him thousands of times in his heart, and it was not like this if he wanted to make meritorious contributions, how did it feel like he was playing with his life, if he didn't leave, how could they go, it was really harmful, harmful!

If Qiao Xi knew Cai Zhenghua's thoughts, she would definitely scoff at it, saving people is like fighting a fire, how can she act hastily, besides, she doesn't look at what kind of patients come to her side, almost all of them are half a foot in the coffin, can she let it go, she is tired and wants to do it, don't put the responsibility on others, and no one forces him to do what?

After Qiao Xi dealt with most of the patients' conditions, he finally had a chance to take a breath, stood up and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, moved his muscles and bones a little, and if he didn't move, his whole body was about to fall apart.

"General, the lower official has prepared a meal in the palace, and I ask the general to move." The prefect, who had rested for half a day, reappeared on West Street later in the evening.

"No, let's go back to dinner." Jun Lichen lightly rejected the prefect's kindness. There is nothing to pay attention to in extraordinary times, and it is good to be able to eat.

"Yes, the official will take his leave." Jun Lichen's temperament has also been heard of a little, and he is a master who says everything, which scared him into a cold sweat on his head.

"Wait, sir." Qiao Xi suddenly thought of the water source problem, and hurriedly called back the prefect who was about to leave. Bashan loves

"Yes, Childe, please speak." The prefect came to a sharp brake, turned to face Qiao Xidao.

"Water is very important, you must dig wells in a clean place, and you must pay attention to disinfection every day."

"Disinfection?" The prefect was a little confused by these two words, what this meant, he couldn't understand a little.

"I'll give you some powder, and you must sprinkle it into the well water on time every day." Qiao Xi's expression looked very serious.

"Do what he says." Jun Lichen didn't give the prefect a chance to hesitate, and directly gave an order.

"Yes, Xia Guan will do it tomorrow." Although the prefect didn't know Qiao Xi's identity, he could make Jun Lichen treat him differently, and he was even more obedient to what he said, and he didn't have the idea of being lazy in his heart.

The tired, thirsty, and hungry group got into a carriage and returned to the inn outside the city, but before returning to their rooms, each of them went into a small room, and changed into clean clothes from the inside out, and put all the clothes into the water soaked in powdered medicine, and soaked them for a quarter of an hour before washing.

The people Qiao Xi brought would not have any meaning to his words, they would do whatever she said, and even Jun Lichen would follow it step by step.

Although Cai Zhenghua felt that this move was simply redundant, and it was a little troublesome, Jun Lichen didn't have any objections, how dare they jump out and say that they did what he said very honestly.

Changing into clean clothes, the whole person also became more energetic, entered the post house, and saw the six dishes and one soup on the table, only then did he realize that he was so hungry that he was unconscious.

"Can you be full just by looking at it?" Jun Lichen saw that Qiao Xi was just staring at the food in front of him, but he didn't mean to drop the chopsticks and asked.

"I'm too hungry to eat." Qiao Xi said embarrassedly.

"It's over early tomorrow, Lily, prepare a little dry food for your son-in-law tomorrow, he's still growing his body, and his body will not be able to bear it in the long run." Jun Lichen listened to her words, his heart was sour, he should have gotten the best, but now he has to suffer with him.

At this time, I can't even eat, how can this body eat.

"Yes, General." Lily was busy, she should have prepared some dry food for the girl, the girl was still young.

"If you really can't eat it, don't force it, drink some soup." Jun Lichen personally spooned a bowl of soup for her and put it in front of her.

"Thank you, General." Qiao Xi didn't refuse, she could see the guilt in his eyes clearly, in fact, it didn't have much to do with him, but now that there are so many people, it's not easy to say anything.

"If they really can't bear it, let them go and rest a little tomorrow." Jun Lichen also knew that this was very unrealistic, the patients in the West Street ward were now fighting against death, and if they win, they could live, and if they lost, they would only die.

"The general should pay more attention to himself." There are so many people, what to do with so much nonsense, don't hurry up to eat, so as to make up for the lost physical strength.

Seeing the imperial doctors looking at them one by one with big curious eyes, Jun Lichen snorted coldly and ate by himself.

A bunch of guys who don't have the eyesight to see can't eat well and see what to see. If it weren't for Qiao Xi's presence, Jun Lichen would definitely scold these people, and now he can only count them in his heart.

After eating, Qiao Xi went back to the room, but Jun Lichen followed like a fart, and found a powerful reason in a high-sounding manner, saying that he wanted to talk to him about the epidemic.

Those in the know rolled their eyes, and those who didn't were impressed by his seriousness.

Entering the room, Qiao Xi didn't care whether Jun Lichen was there or not, the whole person lay on the bed, he was really tired at the end of the day, and he felt that his bones were about to fall apart.

"Is there anything else you can do? I'm tired and I want to rest early. "Tomorrow will definitely be another busy day, she will ensure sleep, replenish her strength, and continue better tomorrow.

"I know you're tired, do you want me to press it for you." I was worried that she was tired of herself, so I followed her to the room.

"No need, you've had a hard day, so let's rest early." Sitting up, his feet hanging on the edge of the bed, swaying, looking at Jun Lichen and saying.

"I'm not tired, I'll help you send your muscles, it will be more comfortable." Jun Lichen didn't listen to her, sat down beside her, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to help her loosen her muscles.

"No need to do it." Qiao Xi immediately stopped the big palm stretched out towards her and glared at him fiercely, how could it not make sense.

"Good, I~~~~" As soon as a few words came out, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Jun Lichen's face was extremely unsightly, he got up and sat on the chair, his sharp eyes shot at the door, and he said coldly: "Come in." ”

The door opened, Liang Qi looked up, and saw his master staring at him fiercely with murderous eyes, he stiffened and stood at the door motionless.

"Liangqi, come in." Qiao Xi glanced at Jun Lichen, who had been putting the air conditioner outside, and raised his head to let Liang Qi come in and speak.

"~~ Yes." Liang Qi hesitated, entered the room hard, and closed the door by the way.

"Tell me what's going on?" Someone is annoyed at this moment, so she can only ask Liangqi instead of him.

"Before the master went out today, he ordered his subordinates to go down to check the grain, I don't know if I don't check, I don't know if I check~~~ There is not much food in the city, plus what we have shipped, it can only last for a month at most, which is still a conservative estimate." Today, in order to investigate this matter, his leg is about to break, he just returned to the post house, and he can't even take care of eating, so he came to see the master as soon as possible.

In fact, knowing that the master was in Miss Qiao's room, he also knew that his appearance would definitely not get a good face, and he didn't want to disturb the alone time between the master and Miss Qiao, everyone was busy, and only this time could have a chance to talk, if you don't talk about it now, how can there be time for discussion, the people take food as the sky, and if there is not enough food, there will definitely be a big mess. All the efforts they have put in today will also be in vain, masters.

"There are many merchants in the upper counties, and it is the land of fish and rice, and the plague has only been there for a month, how can there be a shortage of food?" Jun Lichen asked coldly.

"Because of the plague, the grain that has just been harvested was quickly purchased by the grain shop, and the poor people need silver to see the doctor, and after the plague spreads, ordinary people have long been unable to have enough food to feed and wear, but the merchants have raised the price of rice at this time, or simply hoarded it, making the people's lives difficult." It took him a day to investigate all this information.

Well, very good, these profiteers actually dare to sit on the ground and raise prices and disrupt the market order, are they going against the imperial court? Jun Lichen was furious and slapped his palm on the table to vent the anger in his heart.

"How far is the village in the hands of this prince from here? Can you bring the grain over? ”

"The nearest Zhuangli is almost three days away from here, and some supplies have been made up in the Zhuangzi before, but now there is not much left in the Zhuangzi, but I am afraid that it is far from enough."

"Whether it is enough or not, we will transfer the food first and temporarily solve some of the current predicament. In the future, he thinks about it. "It's better to be able to bring in some than nothing.

"Yes, master, my subordinates will do it."

"Wait a minute." shouted to stop the person and turned his head to look at Jun Lichen, "It's six days to come and go, so it's cheaper for those profiteers who are rich and unkind." Your status is noble, and when you first arrived in the upper reaches of the county, how can you say that you have to give those rich gentry a little face, right? Qiao Xi smiled treacherously.

"And then?" After Jun Lichen heard this, his eyes lit up. Motioned for her to continue.

"And then what, I want to go." She's already mentioned it to this point, so it's hard to ask her to help him complete all the follow-up plans, hum~~~

"Okay, you get off early." Jun Lichen originally wanted to hear what good advice she had, but seeing her like this, he had no choice but to give up.
