Chapter 77: Disaster Relief
Yue Changan said that his father was an official in the court, but judging by his bearing, it is expected that the official has done a lot of work.
When he arrived at the Taishou Mansion, he took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist as a token and asked someone to go in to report.
And the keeper of the door went in.
Yun Duoduo looked at Yue Chang'an: "You jade pendant, so precious, why did they go to report it after seeing the jade pendant, it is more effective than the emperor's gold medal for avoiding death?" ”
Yue Changan smiled and asked, "What is the gold medal for avoiding death?" ”
Yun Duoduo: "Huh...... It is said by the person who heard the story, it is a brand given by the emperor, and it is like a saint when I see it. ”
Yun Duoduo smiled lightly: "How can there be such a thing, the majesty of the Son of Heaven, where can a brand replace it?" ”
Cui Pingsheng said: "Your jade pendant is a jade produced in Kunshan, today, people who can use such jade, either rich or expensive, too guarding the gatekeeper of the government, if you don't even recognize such a jade pendant, Taishou would have gone home to retire a long time ago." ”
Yue Changan smiled: "Yes." ”
"You must be the son of a noble family in Beijing." Cui Pingsheng said with a smile.
Yue Chang'an said: "That's not necessarily, I can't figure out that I stole this jade pendant." ”
Cui Pingsheng: "......"
After a while, a person came out of the mansion, dressed in a green shirt, about forty years old, and he was kind.
Cui Pingsheng looked at it from a distance and explained: "This is Mr. Mu who obeyed Taishou's orders, I saw him at the banquet of the sixth uncle a few days ago, and he was very trusted by Taishou. ”
When Mr. Mu came to the three of them, he greeted him kindly, and explained: "Lord Taishou took people outside the city to appease the people, and Prince Yue can go outside the city with me." ”
Yue Changan was surprised: "It's still early, has Lord Taishou already gone?" ”
Mr. Mu nodded: "Taishou went early in the morning." ”
Yue Changan admired: "He is really a good official." ”
As he spoke, he was about to follow Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu glanced at Yun Duoduo, and said, "Little girl, it's not peaceful there, you still don't want to go, just let the man go." ”
Cui Pingsheng said: "It's not Yue Gongzi who wants to see Taishou, it's not me, it's her." ”
"She ......" Mr. Mu's face froze for a moment, "this ......"
If it's a famous scholar like Cui Pingsheng, it's okay, and a noble relative like Yue Gongzi can also be, how can it be this little girl.
This Taishou has been busy in the past few days, how can he be in the mood to meet a little girl.
I may be angry when the time comes.
Yue Chang'an said: "Don't be embarrassed, Taishou will definitely hate and be happy when she sees her, she is not here to joke with you, she is trying to save refugees." "
"Are you kidding......" Mr. Mu finally couldn't help it.
"Mr. Wood." Yun Duoduo shouted out to Mr. Mu, then slowly walked to him, and bowed slightly: "The little girl is not talented, there are some methods, and I don't know if it is accurate, please let me see Taishou, if there are one or two can save the refugees from fire and water, it is also a merit." ”
This person said so, and Mr. Mu was not easy to refuse, looking at the girl's cloth and hairpin, she spoke but did not show any nervousness, which showed that she was insightful.
When the group arrived outside the city, it was really miserable, and there were refugees all around the wilderness, but fortunately it was the height of summer, and there was no need to keep out the cold.
Yun Duoduo followed Mr. Mu to ask about the porridge factory one by one, and it was not until noon that he found the legendary Taishou.
Taishou turned out to be a twenty-eight boy, born with a delicate face, a good face like a good woman, and fair skin. Dressed in bright red official robes, he was unusually conspicuous in the crowd.
Yun Duoduo looked stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that Taishou looked about the same age as Yue Chang'an, but his face was a little thinner, and he looked a little weak, unlike Yue Chang'an's vitality.
Yue Chang'an explained in a low voice: "This Taishou surnamed Shang is the youngest son of a county king in the royal family, because he has only learned people, His Majesty intends to cultivate, and let him come here to be a Taishou last year, you don't have to be afraid of him, he has a good temperament since he was a child, and he will not criticize others." ”
The delicate Lord Taishou heard that someone was offering a plan, and he was kind enough to see Yun Duoduo, Yue Chang'an and Cui Pingsheng, and heard that this plan was actually a girl, although he was a little surprised, he didn't say much.
"What's your plan?" He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking hot.
It's such a hot day, and other sergeants are not allowed to go shirtless, but he is wearing a neat official robe, can it not be hot?
The officials who were waiting beside him fanned him with a broken fan, but he couldn't stop sweating.
Yun Duoduo whispered: "I want to ask Lord Taishou to build an attic by the river and hold a grand event in Jiangzhou City, if this is the case, ......"
Before she finished speaking, Taishou fell down with a bang......
"Hey ......"
Yun Duoduo was startled, and the servants next to him were also frightened, and they were in a hurry to find a doctor.
Yue Chang'an jumped over: "What are you crying about, hurry up and untie his clothes!" He's hot dizzy! ”
The sergeant hurriedly carried the man into the carriage, took the official robe of the hot man, and asked him to bring cold water to relieve the heat. After a while, the doctor was found.
The doctor prescribed a prescription for the heat, fed him medicine, and it took a while for him to wake up.
Yun Duoduo, Yue Chang'an and others were guarding the carriage, and they couldn't cry or laugh.
"Why have you been looking for a doctor for so long, and there is no doctor here?" Yun Duoduo asked.
"Doctor?" Cui Pingsheng looked at her in surprise.
Yue Changan sighed: "It's good to be able to transfer out the grain, where are there so many doctors and medicinal materials." ”
Mr. Mu came over with a sad face: "Lord Taishou summoned several medicinal material bosses in the city last night and asked them to donate some medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials in the Taishou Mansion Treasury were also taken out, but it was just a ......drop in the bucket."
"There are too many people with this disease, where are there so many doctors and medicinal herbs." Mr. Mu's forty-year-old face was as sad as that of an eighty-year-old person, who would have thought that he would follow his master to this rich Jiangzhou and encounter such a thing......
"There are a few doctors in the city who come to the free clinic, but it won't help if there are no medicinal materials......
Yun Duoduo pursed his lips: "Mr. Mu, do you believe me?" ”
"Huh?" Mr. Mu looked at the calm little girl in front of him, and didn't understand what she was saying for a while.
Yun Duoduo said: "When I lived in the village before, in winter and summer, people and animals in the village were prone to plague, and there were constant major and minor diseases. The people in the village have a local method, which has been used, but now there is a shortage of medicinal materials, so try it first. ”
"What recipe?" Mr. Mu looked at Yun Duoduo in surprise, "If the medicinal herbs are easy to get, otherwise ......"
Yun Duoduo said: "Please send more people to the city to collect the ashes between the people's stoves......"
"Furnace ashes?" Mr. Mu looked at Yun Duoduo puzzled.
Yun Duoduo said seriously: "The people in the little girl's hometown village will use furnace ash to soak water to drink when the epidemic occurs, which can alleviate some relief. It's better than not having the herbs to dry up like this, not only those who are sick should drink it, but also those who are not sick, and people who are often here should also drink it. ”
Mr. Mu looked at her: "The girl is a doctor?" ”
Yun Duoduo shook his head: "No, it's just that the old people in the family will use it, I don't know if it will work, but ......"
"I understand......" Mr. Mu looked at her, "It's better to be useless than to watch people get sick......
Then he ordered them to go into the city and gather the ashes.
After a chaotic battle, the delicate Taishou who was stunned by the heat finally relieved, he straightened his clothes and got out of the carriage.
This time, he took off his official robe, and only wore a snow-white shirt inside, which made him look more and more delicate. Yun Duoduo said in his heart, such a noble son of the capital, like Jia Baoyu, where can he endure such hardships, and it is really difficult for him to come to such a place to be a guard.
"You just said that you want to hold a grand event in Jiangzhou, but what do you say?" Taishou looked at Yun Duoduo and said warmly.
Yun Duoduo raised his eyes and looked at him.
found that this little Taishou was not as noble as she thought, he spoke softly, his tone was very soft, not in a hurry, and it calmed people's hearts a lot.
"Now the money and food in Jiangzhou City is only enough to last for the refugees for a month or two, and then there is no way. If a grand event is held in Jiangzhou City, so that celebrities from all over the world gather in Jiangzhou City, within a month, Jiangzhou City will become a lively city-state. ”
Yue Changan bumped Yun Duoduo with his arm: "Are you crazy?" ”
Taishou glared at Yue Chang'an: "You let her finish, don't interrupt her." ”
Yue Chang'an retreated.
Yun Duoduo said his thoughts, Jiangzhou City is a transportation artery, the water and land routes are smooth, and the surrounding states and counties are very rich, if they invite celebrities from all over the world to Jiangzhou City, they will definitely come here with money and goods.
At that time, they will consume here, not only do they need it, but also the child servants and attendants they brought, and because these people go to and from Jiangzhou City, the road will become smoother, and the merchants will also come here, and when the time comes, not only the food provided by the imperial court for disaster relief will come, but also the large and small merchants can also trade back and forth.
Jiangzhou City has done more business, and there is naturally money.
The most important thing is that the Taishou Mansion can recruit displaced people to build a large number of buildings during this period, give them wages, and let them survive here.
If there is a chance, the refugees can also leave here with the merchants who come and go, and live, as long as the road from Jiangzhou City to other places is smoother and more populated, then there will be more chances to live.
The other part can be reclaimed for the surrounding wasteland. So by next fall, it will be considered to be settled here......
Yun Duoduo said one after another, but his eyes kept looking at Taishou.
Xiao Taishou's eyes were faint, without any expression, and he said after listening to her: "But whenever there are natural and man-made disasters, local officials must cut down on food and clothing, and share weal and woe with the people, but you want me to build a lot of construction and feast guests?" ”
Cui Pingsheng was taken aback: "My lord, this is no way, if the adult thinks it is inappropriate, please don't worry about the same little girl." ”
Tai Shouwei smiled: "Cui family life, I have heard of you, don't panic, I listen to Mrs. Zun." ”
"Huh?" Cui Pingsheng was stunned.
