Chapter 59 Opening the warehouse and releasing grain
Qing Huan always felt that Liangquan was a little strange, and the two of them stayed in the study, and they felt a little embarrassed, so she said: "Why don't we go out and have a look, so as not to make any mistakes in the process of distributing grain." ”
Liangquan nodded, and the two walked out one after the other.
When Qing Huan went out, Jiao Xiheng walked over, leaned over and said, "Master Chang, it's all arranged!" "Ningzhou said that it is not big, but it is not small. Six distribution locations have been prepared.
Qing Huan nodded and walked towards the nearest grain distribution location. Ningzhou sent all the officers and soldiers to maintain order, and the three thousand elite soldiers brought by Qing Huan were among them.
People can carry boats or capsize boats. Although these civilians can't stand up to these iron-clad soldiers, once a riot breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable. Not only Ningzhou, but also the rest of the surrounding states and counties will also be affected.
The two special positions set up by Qing Huan played a role, the woman who knelt down at noon received the food, and when she saw Qing Huan, she quickly knelt down, "My lord, thank you, my lord!" ”
Qing Huan hurriedly helped her up and said, "Don't be polite, go home quickly." ”
"The great kindness of the adults to us, we will never forget, the adults not only immediately sent food, but also treated us, this kindness of the adults, all of us will remember it!" The woman refused to get up, and kowtowed again.
"Treatment?" Qing Huan was a little puzzled and looked at Liangquan, who shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.
Jiao Xiheng next to him hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Oh, Lord Chang, it's like this, the son and girl who came with you are already sitting in the pharmacy to help the sick diagnose. ”
It turned out to be Ji Huanling and Zhu Xiao. No wonder she hadn't seen them before, but with them, she was much more relieved. Then he lifted the woman up and said, "Go home quickly, and make something good for the old man." ”
The woman wiped away her tears, thanked her, and hurried away.
Qing Huan turned his head to Liangquan and said, "I'll go to the medical hall to have a look, you can maintain order here!" ”
"I'll go with you!" Liangquan is not worried about her alone, there are too many things that have happened recently, and he is worried about her.
Qing Huan smiled and said, "No need, the medical hall should not be far away, I'll just go by myself!" ”
Liangquan touched his nose and nodded, he found that he had been very strange recently, every time he saw Qing Huan's eyes, he felt a little uneasy, that feeling made him panic, afraid to see Qing Huan, but he wanted to see her. Paradoxical very.
Looking at Qing Huan's distant back, Liangquan lowered his eyes, it was impossible for him not to know what was wrong with him, but she was that person's concubine after all......
Qing Huan found someone to lead the way and went to the hospital. Just now, I swore that it was not far away, but it has been almost half an hour since I left. Along the way, there was not even a person, so Qing Huan looked at the streets of Ningzhou.
Ningzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides, but the mountains are bare, exposed with dry soil, desolate and desolate.
"Looking at the appearance of Ningzhou in early autumn, why did it become so depressed?" Qing Huan muttered unconsciously.
"My lord, you don't know," the man who led the way turned around and said with a smile, "Ningzhou has a big drought this year, the harvest is not very good, and the imperial court has released the disaster relief grain late, so the people are not enough food, and they have identified the mountains on all sides, and they have almost dug up everything they can eat." There are not many birds and animals in this area. ”
Qing Huan nodded, and suddenly remembered that this disaster was not only a drought, if she remembered correctly, there should also be a cause of the locust plague. Thinking of this, I also figured out why it was so depressed.
As they spoke, they finally arrived at the entrance of the infirmary. The scene in front of the medical hall shocked Qing Huan even more, there were people of all ages in front of the door, and the water surrounding the medical hall was already impassable. There are also those who are far away, who have already brought straw curtains and are lying on the ground.
Qing Huan frowned, it seems that these people are definitely not the only ones today, but they have been queuing here for a long time.
The person who led the way next to him sighed and said, "Today, everyone has gone to get food, and only these old, weak, sick and disabled are left here." ”
"So many people in the hospital every day? Is the hospital too busy? Qing Huan watched from a distance, some old people were skinny and had inconvenient legs and feet, and they were still insisting on queuing. There are also children who are still swaddling and crying.
"Alas, the staff of the medical hall is limited, and it is really too busy for so many people at one time. But this is not the main thing, the most important thing is that the medicine in the hospital has suddenly risen, and I can't afford to buy medicine! Now these years, all the money is used to buy food, this medicine is more expensive than food, how can you give it......" After the man finished speaking, his eyes were also shining with tears, natural disasters are inevitable, but this man-made disaster ......
Qing Huan put her hands behind her back, her hands clenched tightly, if she didn't understand when she heard this, then she would have eaten so much for nothing! Obviously, some people want to take advantage of natural disasters to make a lot of money.
And these people, Qing Huan sneered, when they met her, they were unlucky!
Qing Huan squeezed into the crowd and finally saw Ji Huanling and Zhu Xiao sitting in the medical hall. Zhu Xiao was taking the pulse, and when he saw Qing Huan coming in, his hand stopped, his face was not very good, and he was about to speak.
Qing Huan stopped her, pursed her lips, and said, "You take the pulse first, needless to say, I know everything." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the inner room of the medical hall. There were also doctors and patients in the inner room, but they were much more decently dressed than the ragged people at the door. The doctor and his men at the infirmary are treating them.
Qing Huan went in, because he was wearing civilian clothes, so everyone didn't know that Qing Huan was an official of the imperial court. Just think of which young master she is. The doctor in the medical hall stood up, frowned, and said, "You are here to see a doctor, or to grab medicine!" ”
"Why doesn't the boss go out to see the people, obviously there are not a lot of people here, right?" As he spoke, he glanced at everyone, only to see everyone covering their mouths and chuckling.
"Little boy, since you are here to diagnose a patient, do you have enough money? I don't have any money to diagnose any disease this year! Dr. Wang is a famous doctor, and there are some poor ghosts with no money outside the door, how can he bother Dr. Wang to diagnose! A round man lying on a hospital bed said.
"Really?" Qing Huan began to smile and turned his head to ask Doctor Wang from the medical hall, who snorted coldly, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Doctor Wang turned his face away from looking at her, this little boy was yin and yang, which made him very uncomfortable. Those poor ghosts don't have a penny, and they queue up outside the medical hall every day, not to mention the three floors inside and three floors outside the medical hall, and the business of the medical center is ruined.
Fortunately, he was witty and opened the back door in the infirmary, so that those who could afford to see a doctor could come in directly through the back door. At noon or so today, two people came, saying that they could diagnose everyone, and he was worried that no one would send those poor ghosts away, but now he was fine, and he could finally be cleaner.
"My lord! Someone fainted outside the door! The person who led the way for Qing Huan rushed in before, and everyone who was loud heard it.
Everyone's faces instantly became unsightly, whether it was to see a doctor or take medicine, or the so-called Doctor Wang, after reacting, they all knelt on the ground.
Qing Huan ignored it, looking at everyone's eyes a little cold, what she hated the most was such a person, the country was in trouble, but she took advantage of the chaos to loot the people's fat and cream. So he threw up his sleeves and wanted to leave.
As soon as he walked outside the door, he turned his head again and said to the person who led the way: "You write down the names of these people, I see that they are not lightly ill, and I will ask Imperial Doctor Ji to show them when I turn around!" ”
The man scratched his head and said happily, "Okay! ”
A smile hooked up at the corner of Qing Huan's mouth, if you want to take advantage, then let you take advantage of it! When Qing Huan strode away, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. And the one who was most scared was that Dr. Wang.
If he remembered correctly, there was indeed a man and a woman sitting outside the door with the surname Ji, and he was actually a doctor! Isn't that a big knife in front of Guan Gong! No, no, no, he not only played with a big knife, but also played with a big name. Thinking of this, my body trembled like chaff.
And the upright leader, as Qing Huan commanded, wrote down everyone in the room one by one. The people did not dare to do anything to him, they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
Qing Huan hurried out, Ji Huanling had already carried the person into the hospital and was diagnosing.
"What's wrong?" Qing Huan was about to step forward, but was stopped by Zhu Xiao next to him.
"Don't go over." Zhu Xiao clasped his hands in front of his chest, and he also had a very serious expression on his face.
"What's going on?" Qing Huan was dragged and didn't step forward again, she faintly felt that things might be going in the worst direction.
Zhu Xiao made a silent gesture, and gently leaned into Qing Huan's ear and said, "It may be the plague, it's still uncertain." ”
Qing Huan frowned instantly, was it really as she thought? Pestilence...... It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.
At this time, Doctor Wang also came out tremblingly, Qing Huan turned his head to see him, his tone instantly condensed into ice, and said: "Doctor Wang, your shelf is actually bigger than the imperial doctor, can the lower official ask Doctor Wang to treat the people in front of the door?" ”
As he spoke, he made an official salute to Dr. Wang, which made Dr. Wang tremble and kneel down again, saying "The grass people don't dare", and kowtowed vigorously.
"Don't dare?" Qing Huan was angry, and his tone became more and more aggressive, "Don't you dare to go quickly!" ”
Dr. Wang got up from the ground and hurriedly went to see everyone.
Ji Huanling was investigating the illness of the fainted person, and when he heard Qing Huan's words, a shallow smile appeared unconsciously in the corner of his eyes. She actually said that she was a doctor, no wonder that Dr. Wang was so frightened.
The imperial doctor is all first-class officials, and Dr. Wang is just a state and county doctor, that is, ordinary people, and the shelf is bigger than the imperial doctor.
Qing Huan just wanted to scare him, let alone the imperial doctor, even if he was not the imperial doctor, Ji Huanling's status was enough to treat Dr. Wang for a big crime! The reason why Ji Huanling's true identity was not revealed was because she didn't want to cause any more trouble during the extraordinary times.
The person on the sickbed had a gray face, purple lips, and trembling all over, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit. Qing Huan frowned, wondering if he was poisoned.
Zhu Xiao also paid attention to Ji Huanling's movements, as a doctor, he could not avoid contact with patients, and sometimes even tested poison himself. Ji Huanling didn't let himself get closer, and he didn't think about himself.
