Ya'er is sick. Because of the successive fears and the ups and downs of her mood, she, who was already a little weak, couldn't hold on anymore. Now that she had someone to rely on, she finally fell ill.
This made Sun Tu feel guilty and a little distressed, so he invited Dr. Ye from the city for diagnosis and treatment, and finally found out that he had symptoms of wind and cold entering his body and excessive worry.
But now there is no scent of medicine in the Sun family's yard, but Ya'er is lying on the bed and sleeping on a shelf, with a plastic container hanging on it that has never been seen in this era, and the medicine inside is flowing smoothly. The thin tube slowly entered her body. That's right, Sun Tu is giving Ya'er an intravenous drip.
Just after the storm subsided, Sun Tu entered the Jiezhongjie system again and found that he had been upgraded again. This is also an expected result. After all, he has indeed made a lot of achievements this time, and he has also interacted with people in the government. His status is naturally far from what he was before.
Although the original Sun Tu had gained some fame in the city through hotels, in everyone's eyes it was still just an ordinary store. But now he is completely different. He has become a young hero with a background, a good understanding of the county, and even the court's appreciation. He may be able to get an official position soon, so the attitude of the people around him will naturally be very different.
After this upgrade, Sun Tu was not only able to open Warehouse No. 3—a large warehouse filled with various frozen meats—but also gained access to a medical room and a guard room.
Many things in the guard room, such as monitoring computers and the like, are not yet in use. The only thing available is a powerful lighting dual-purpose electric baton. But the medicines in the infirmary helped Sun Tu a lot this time. After learning about the little girl's condition and realizing that it was just a cold caused by physical weakness, he was naturally impatient and asked her to take some decoction and medicine, and immediately used it to see the effect. The fastest intravenous injection is just right. There may not be many other drugs in the infirmary, but there are plenty of drugs to treat common diseases like colds.
Sun Tu relied on some first aid methods he had learned in the army before and directly gave Ya'er an intravenous drip. Not to mention, the medical methods that will be available thousands of years later are much more effective than those famous doctors and national experts today. In just two days, Ya'er, who was still in a daze, has gradually recovered, but her body is still weak and her face remains the same. Somewhat whitish.
However, as long as Sun Tu was with her, Ya'er's interest was very high. At this time, she looked up at the injection device hanging on the shelf beside her and asked curiously: "Third brother, what on earth is this? , why can I cure my disease like this, but I don’t even need to take medicine?”
"This is an overseas treatment method, and it is the most effective. It was brought back by my father earlier." Sun Tu replied casually. Now, as long as there is something that cannot be explained, he will use his father and brother who have been to the sea to explain it away. Anyway, the little girl will not delve into it.
"So we still have such good things at home? If only I had known earlier." Ya'er sniffed in surprise. Then I remembered something: "By the way, Third Brother, will you be alright if you stay with me all the time? Won't the store take care of you?" Even though he said that, the little girl looked at Sun Tu with a full look in her eyes. She is attached to her, obviously she doesn't want him to leave her.
Looking at this sensible and pitiful little girl, Sun Tu tidied her slightly messy hair with pity: "Don't worry, I've told Uncle Xiao that he can handle it. I'll go over there when you are completely healed. ." Then he took out a fever-reducing powder and handed it to her hand: "Here, take this medicine, so that you can get better faster."
"Yes." Ya'er agreed, quickly took the medicine and swallowed it in one gulp. Compared with those bitter and weird soups, this small pill is too easy to take. It's just that after eating it, she often feels hot and sweats all over, but her weak body gets much better afterwards.
For Ya'er, who has never taken western medicine, there is no resistance at all, so under the dual effects of intravenous drip and medicine, her condition naturally improved very quickly. Maybe in a day or two, I'll be able to get out of bed and walk around. This was considered a miracle in an era when a cold wind could kill a frail person, but it was difficult to disclose this matter to the outside world.
Just when Sun Tu stayed with Ya'er until she fell asleep, and got up to make some bone soup for her to recuperate, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door. Sun Tu glanced at the sky outside and found that it was just after noon, which was the busiest time in the store. Naturally, it couldn't be Yu Xiaohe coming. This made him feel a little strange, but he still went over and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a county government official. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "Sun Sanlang is indeed at home."
"Are you Third Brother Wang? Do you have any advice?" Sun Tu still remembered the identity of the visitor, so he asked with a smile.
A nervous look flashed across Wang San's face: "Sanlang, I am also acting under orders. Don't be offended if I offend you in any way." After saying this, he handed over a document.
Sun Tu took it casually, and when he glanced at it, he saw the bright red seal at the bottom, indicating that it was an official document from the county government. After reading the contents of the official document, his expression suddenly changed.
At this time, Wang San was still worried that Sun Tu would not be able to understand the content above and explained: "Sanlang, the county has just decided on the candidate for the Yamen who will send tax money to Tokyo this time, so they selected you to go." As he spoke, She also glanced at Sun Tu with some worry, fearing what he would do to her when he was angry.
It was actually not easy for ordinary people in ancient China to survive. In addition to supporting their families, they also had to deal with government taxes. This tax is naturally the payment of taxes. It is indispensable in all walks of life, large and small. However, this is not the most embarrassing thing. The one that can really crush ordinary people's families is the latter.
The so-called corvee, like tax, also includes many parts. For example, corvee means working for the government for free. It does not matter how many months you work. You have to find your own way to eat and other things, and sometimes your life is even in danger. In addition, there are also going to the Yamen to answer errands and doing some dirty work, which are all included in the service, and this is collectively referred to as Yaqian service, or Yaqian for short.
In fact, there are good and bad yamen. If a long name is added to it, they can be regarded as public officials in the yamen, which is commonly known as yamen. That would not only provide some income, but also gain more benefits by relying on the power at hand. But if you are just a yamen, the problem is serious. Not only do you have to bear all kinds of difficulties, but you also have to bear relevant responsibilities if something goes wrong.
Take, for example, escorting taxes, money, food, etc. to the capital. The hard work and sacrifice along the way is secondary. If a shortage is found when you arrive at the place, you will have to hold the Yamen responsible. If it cannot be made up in the end, It is a minor thing to go bankrupt, but it is very likely to end up with the whole family being ruined.
Therefore, for ordinary people in this era, the most fearful thing is to be selected by the government to be a government official, which means that a series of nightmares will come to you.
Sun Tu has been in this era for two or three months, and he already understands these things. Now that I know that I have been assigned such a hard job in front of the government, I naturally feel nervous.
After looking at the other party for a long time, he said coldly: "Who does this mean?"
"Since... of course it's the county Yin's intention." Wang San said, not daring to look at him.
"But as far as I know, the county governor went to Jeju Prefecture with Song Yasi three days ago. How could he issue this order today?" Sun Tu narrowed his eyes and asked. When leaving that day, Song Jiang said goodbye to him. Of course he knew about it.
"Well... Anyway, the Yamen has decided on this matter. You must go to the County Yamen to handle all relevant matters within two days and then set off. The tax bank must be handed over to the Transshipment Department before September this year." This person dropped this sentence and Then he turned around and hurried away, obviously not daring to tangle with Sun Tuduo anymore.
As for Sun Tu, holding the document, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Why didn't he know who was behind all this? In the absence of the county magistrate and Song Jiang, Liu Yuan naturally had a way to put such hard labor on himself!
