Chapter 21 The prince's front line is quelling the epidemic, and the people of the capital are impressed
"Brother Fu, can you please help this old man to the bed over there?" Li Sishen opened the door curtain in front of him with one hand, feeling a little reluctant to help the sick old man alone, so he said to the tent.
Fu Heng saw that there were two people at the door walking towards the house, he put down the scroll in his hand and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Jun'er (Li Sishen uses the pseudonym Li Junqing to the outside world), how many patients are this?"
"Four hundred and fifty-eight. ”
More than 400 people...... Fu Heng heard Li Sishen's words and looked outside the tent again. From the first dozens to the current hundreds, although everyone is trying to treat the infected patients, the ...... If this momentum continues, the medicinal materials used in the affected areas will also be depleted.
The problem that Fu Heng thought of was exactly what Li Sishen was trying to overcome at the moment.
The frontline has consumed a large amount of medicinal materials and medical supplies to treat patients, and it is in urgent need of replenishment. After Li Sishen learned of this situation, he lit a candle in the tent all night, regardless of the fatigue caused by the busy days of work, and wrote a letter and handed it to the official post station set up by Dacheng nearby.
The emperor received a letter from the six princes and hurriedly organized the dispatch of manpower to deliver urgently needed medical supplies to the epidemic area in the southwest. Previously, the people of the capital were worried that the epidemic in the southwest would spread to the imperial city, and they were panicked for a while. Some medical centers in the capital took advantage of everyone's panic and anxiety to take the opportunity to raise the price of medicinal materials, making it difficult to find medicinal materials in the city. In the team transporting the epidemic area in the southwest, the officials of the Dong faction wanted to make an obstruction, but Dong Shangshu still dispelled the idea.
"Lord Zhao, let's start now. Without further ado, if Chu Boyi, Jin Yan and the others found out, it would delay the opportunity. ”
Lord Zhao, an official of the Dong faction, raised his head and glanced at Dong Shangshu, who was wearing a purple python robe with a jade belt and silver satin around his waist. He is a talent, and he usually looks like a gentleman, but he is actually a two-faced character. There is a smile on his face, and there is a stumbling block under his feet, and there is a salt fire in the open, and a knife in the dark.
At this point, the night is already dark. Dong Shangshu originally instructed Lord Zhao, an official of his faction, to secretly obstruct the imperial court's supply of medicines to the epidemic area when people were sleepy and lacking horses after dark. Just as he took out a short sword from his waist with one hand and slashed through the sack, the herbs exposed inside made the picture of the people in the epidemic area at the junction of Dacheng and the southwestern alien race dying in the arms of their relatives because they could not get timely treatment. He relented for a while, was ruthless, and frowned and ordered Lord Zhao to cancel the obstruction.
"Brother Bo Yi is really like a god, Major General Ben has repeatedly told his soldiers to dress up in disguise and act at the opportunity to escort the safe arrival of the medicines transported by the imperial court to the epidemic area...... Looks like this worry is unnecessary!"
"What did Jin Yan say, if it weren't for Dong Shangshu's temporary intention to stop and stumble on that batch of herbs, I really wouldn't have anything to do with him. ”
"I didn't expect that Dong Lao Fox also had a soft heart, and it was good to do too many bad things and occasionally find out with his conscience. ”
"After all, it's a life-saving medicinal herb......"
Chu Boyi and Jin Yan lurked in the bushes on both sides of the mountain road, watching the rest team of the imperial court from a distance. Jin Yan gestured to the guard behind him, and the guard quietly left after receiving the order from his master.
From the date agreed in the edict, Li Sishen received the medicine and materials supplied by the imperial court one day in advance in a tent simply set up in the epidemic area.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have worked hard. After Li Sishen checked the list one by one, he instructed the attendants around him to arrange for them to rest for a while.
"Hmm...... There are a lot of these medicines, and now they are saved. Thanks to the help of Brother Bo Yi and Jin Yan, the soldiers under them were transformed and dressed up to infiltrate the transportation team to protect the medicines. ”
Li Sishen gently stroked the sack containing the medicine in the car, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Looking at the batch of medicines in front of him, Li Sishen was sitting in the tent at the moment, thinking about how to distribute them to patients.
At this time, I saw that the door curtain was lifted from the outside, and Li Sishen looked up and saw that the person who came was a young man who had been treated well before.
"Mingyu, is there anything you have here?"
The yellow-faced young man rubbed his hands, a little hesitant. Li Sishen looked at the young man standing in front of her and stopped talking, got up and came to the young man.
"Mingyu, don't be nervous, just say anything directly! Xiaosheng will help you. ”
"Brother Jun, Mingyu's sister is about to be unable to support it, when will the medicine from the imperial court be delivered?" I saw Mingyu grabbing her hand fiercely, and even the voice of the voice trembling faintly.
Li Si squatted down and looked at him level, his hands wrapped around the young man's trembling hands.
"The medicine supplied by the imperial court has been delivered a day in advance, and it just arrived today. Don't worry, Ying Yu (Mingyu's sister) will get better. ”
Hearing the reassuring words of the big brother in front of him, Mingyu was no longer afraid. Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Li Sishen instructed the attendants to process them into pills overnight and deliver this batch of medicines to patients in urgent need in batches.
When he had already known in advance that there would be a shortage of medicinal materials in the southwest epidemic area, Fu Heng, who had been by his side, also secretly mobilized and privately sent cronies to purchase medicinal materials from medicinal farmers from all over the country. Li Sishen saw that Fu Heng had also sent a batch of medicinal herbs, and he was very grateful to him for helping him when he needed it most.
With the efforts of Li Sishen, Fu Heng and others, good news has frequently come from the southwest epidemic area. After the people of the capital learned about it, they had respect for the six princes they had never met, and looked forward to seeing her when she returned to the capital.
