Chapter 157: The Plague
Have you seen my horse? After a pause, Jiang Xi spoke.
Song San glanced at her suspiciously, and shook his head, "I haven't seen it." ”
She knew that if he saw it, he would definitely notice that her horses were different from these ordinary horses.
"My horses are not afraid of broken porcelain." She introduced the topic little by little, and Song San listened to her soft words while controlling the horse, and hummed in agreement.
After a moment, he finally understood what she was trying to say, and his eyes lit up.
"You just said that your horses are not afraid of this broken porcelain, but there is a reason?"
Naturally, there is, otherwise what else would she say, Jiang Xi pouted, but fortunately he reacted, otherwise the introduction of her words would have been in vain.
"My horses have horseshoes."
"Horseshoe? What's that? Song San became interested, and his intuition told him that what Jiang Xi was going to say next was very important, not only for him but even for this big beam.
If these horses really don't have to be afraid of the things on the ground pricking their hooves, then the battle between the beams and those nomads must be much easier. He even thinks that the horseshoe mentioned in Jiangxikou can be compared with the saddle and stirrup invented by the previous dynasty, which can be regarded as a masterpiece.
"Tell me about it."
Jiangxi didn't hide it anymore, and the horseshoe can't be used as a business opportunity, and saying it can help solve many troubles. At least when she rides in someone else's carriage in the future, she doesn't have to worry about whether the horses will step on something and overturn them.
"A horseshoe is actually a piece of iron, wear-resistant, and it can't be too thin. Put a few steel nails on top of this iron sheet and nail it to the horse's hooves, so that the horse does not have to worry about being hurt by something, and because the iron sheet is load-bearing, the horse's hooves are well protected, and the speed can be faster. ”
"Nailed to the horse's hooves?" Song San frowned, "Won't this hurt the horses?" ”
"How can it hurt, horses' hooves, just that hoof, like a man's fingernails, it won't hurt." Jiangxi was noncommittal.
Song San immediately understood, if it was really as Jiang Xi said, then this horseshoe could really be used.
"Okay, I'll let people try it when I get back." After speaking, there was a "drive", and the horse under him sped up again.
The road they take is a mountain road, and there are few people who take this road on weekdays, everyone takes the official road, but at this moment the official road has been flooded, so this road is also a lot longer.
The bumps in the mountain road and the warmth from Song San's body made Jiang Xi feel a little tired unconsciously, her eyelids slowly became heavy, and she tilted her head and fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, I had already arrived at my destination. The county magistrate, Lord Li, is leading a group of people to salvage the corpses and check if there are any people alive.
Snorting softly, Jiang Xi noticed that he had been leaning on Song San's arm all along. Looking at him apologetically, he didn't know how long he had been asleep, his arms must have gone numb.
"Sorry ......"
"Awake?" Song San's warm magnetic voice came from behind her, interrupting what she was about to say.
"It's already here, they're busy, the medicinal herbs are still here, you can go over and take a look later."
"Hmm." Breaking free from Song San's arms, losing that warmth and still a little cool on her back, she looked at the people who were boiling herbs, half of them were nearby villagers.
They were affected by the disaster, their relatives were lost in this accident, and they had nowhere to go, so they simply came to help, which can be regarded as accumulating merit for their deceased relatives.
When she looked over there, Song San had already gotten up and walked towards the canal, standing next to Li Xianling and not knowing what the two were talking about. Li Xian ordered two officials to summon them, and after a few words, Jiang Xi watched them ride fast horses and gallop downstream.
She withdrew her gaze from him, and landed on the herbs again.
"Miss Jiang, you're here." The villagers who were boiling the medicine stood up and looked at the river stream gratefully.
They were from the neighboring town, and now the town was also flooded, so they had to run to the side of this mountain and set up camp, if it had not been for the medicine brought by the river to stop the spread of the plague, and had they ordered the wormwood mixed with the corpses to be burned, but they were afraid that they would all have died from the plague if they were not drowned now.
"Uncle, sit down first, don't be so polite."
"Miss Jiang, you are the one who saved the lives of our whole village, if you say anything polite or unkind, when we go back in the future, I will set up an immortal tablet for you."
"Yes, yes, it is to set up an immortal tablet, and set up one for Lord Li and that little brother, without them, we don't know what it looks like now."
The crowd was talking about it, but Jiang Xi's body was stunned.
Immortal tablet, this thing, she really can't stand it.
Before she crossed over, she didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, and she didn't believe much after crossing over, until she met the blind man, she couldn't believe it completely.
Some things will really feel that they are false if they have not seen them, but once they have experienced them, they will know that some things that have been circulated in China for thousands of years may not be fake.
Since the blind man's incident, Jiangxi has always advocated benevolence, and this time she came to the disaster area here, and she also had this idea in it. It's just that she never mentioned it to anyone.
When I say it, I'm afraid that some people will laugh at it and don't believe it. Anyway, she knew it in her own heart.
This time, she brought medicinal herbs to prevent the spread of the plague, and she did have a part to play in it. But this merit is not worthy of someone to set up an immortal archway for her, and if she suffers the merit of not being able to bear it, then she will definitely pay the price, and Jiangxi does not want to pay that price.
"Don't don't, don't use the archway. Ladies and gentlemen, as long as you can live safely, in the future, you will either do some small business, or plant a few acres of thin fields, and if you have some money in your hand, you can buy two more cans of canned food from our family. ”
She is a businessman, and these people know it, and they told everyone on the first day she came, because the medicinal herbs need money, and if she doesn't know that her family pays for it, the penniless villagers will not dare to use it.
Jiang Xi said this, firstly, to give her family a signboard, and secondly, to reduce the villagers' impression of her and how good she was, lest she really set up an immortal tablet for her when she went back.
"That's okay, when this flood comes over, the big guy's life will get better, we will buy all your things, and I recommend our relatives and friends to buy them too!"
When a villager speaks, many people respond.
What is Jiangxi's character, they have seen it in the past few days, and the businessman who can send them medicinal materials over the mountains and mountains for nothing, how much pit he can have, at most he can make some small money.
Even if the Jiang family is really a profiteer, when they have money to spare, they will still buy things, which can be regarded as making up for the money for medicinal materials this time.
Of course, when the herbs are enough, they won't buy them anymore.
The floating corpses were scooped up and piled up at the bottom of the hill near the riverbank.
Some of the carcasses had been eaten by the fish, and they became mutilated, which was even more disgusting. Jiang Xi held back the feeling of surging in his stomach and leaned over.
"How did you get here, this is not a place for girls."
Song San came over and turned her body around, so that she was facing the mountain, the disgusting scene in front of her was gone, and her stomach felt much better.
Jiang Xi raised his head and looked at Song San, and said slowly: "I saw the corpse eaten by the fish just now, shouldn't that corpse also have a plague?" ”
As soon as she spoke, Song San immediately reacted.
If there is a fish that eats people with the plague, then the fish may also be infected with the plague, and the fish infected with the plague drifts down the river to the downstream, and if someone catches and eats it, won't it also make the people downstream infected with the plague?
There is more than one fish in the river that eats the carcass, otherwise it would not have bitten half of the corpse. The plague began to be ignored, and one person could infect a village, and if these fish were caught by people from different villages, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"No, I have to hurry up and discuss with Li County Order!"
Previously, they had only set up a barrier downstream, pulling a whole mesh barrier into the river. The water can pass, the fish can pass, but people will be stopped.
In order to be able to stop those who have been swept away by the plague, so as not to cause calamity downstream.
Soon, the Li County Order issued an order.
"Quick! Quickly let people go downstream, and then pull a big net to stop all the fish. Someone came, immediately bring the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and I will write a letter to the county commanders of the counties downstream. There are also a few of you, quickly go back to the county government and let the master post a notice, everything downstream people are not allowed to fish in the big river in the past month, and they are not allowed to drink the water of this river, violators should be punished by raiding their homes, go quickly! ”
Three edicts were issued in a row, but Li County's decree still felt that it was not enough.
The brows furrowed deeply, and the expression looking at the river became sad, both people and fish were infected with the plague in this river, and this water, will it still be used in the future.
The people downstream can eat well water and get through this period temporarily. However, it is summer and the crops need water.
One day can endure, two days can endure, you can't not give the crops a sip of water for ten days and half a month, not to mention, because of this river in their county, there have always been more people growing rice.
If there is no water for the rice, it will all dry up.
Jiang Xi saw the distress of the county order and walked over quickly.
"Li County Order, since the medicine I brought can control the plague, I think it will also have an effect on the river water polluted by the plague. When a large quantity of medicinal herbs arrives in the city, I plan to grind them into powder in proportion and pour them into the river, believing that the river water will be disinfected. ”
Grinding it into powder and pouring it into this river is a choice, but Li Xianling glanced at this rushing river, how many medicinal materials are needed.
"Let's talk about it."
