The last time when Man Bao took out a bottle of medicine and distributed it to Zheng Taiyi and the others, he had a bitter expression on his face. Bai Shan could guess that the pills were probably not cheap.
But the gold and silver in the yang world seem useless in the underworld. Anyway, he has never seen Man Bao worrying about gold and silver, so the cost of these pills should be paid by his father-in-law.
He only knows that his father-in-law likes some flowers, plants and animals very much. Now that he thinks about it, it should be exchanged for money from the underworld.
Bai Shan smiled slightly, and whispered to Man Bao: "I heard that there are a lot of deer on the grassland, when the time comes, I will buy you a live deer, and then quietly send it to my father-in-law..."
Man Bao's eyes lit up, and he became happy. Even Keke, who has been silent all the time, said: "According to my scan, there are many kinds of deer on the grassland, such as red deer, white-lipped deer, hairy deer, sika deer, etc. In addition to deer, the host can also collect sheep. There are many kinds, such as argali, saiga... "
Man Bao quickly said in his mind: "I see, we'll talk about it when we get to the grassland, Keke, we have to take our time."
Keke said he understood, "Just to remind the host, in fact, there are many creatures worthy of collection on the grasslands. These are only relatively large animals, and there are also many rare plants. The host used to collect plants in the mountains and forests. This time, I can appreciate them. The scenery of the prairie."
Man Bao also looked forward to it in his heart, so he said to Bai Shan, "Go and come back quickly."
She just remembered, "You chose to count the villages at this time, is it because people are coming from the capital?"
"Yes," Bai Shan said, "this time, Erlang and I will bring some defenders, and when we find patients, we will send them back to the city. The doctors from the capital are coming soon, so they will have something to use."
Man Bao: ... I thought she would be able to relax after they arrived. Who knew that there would be more doctors and more patients
Bai Shan pointed in one direction and said: "The county government plans to choose another piece of land in the southern outskirts of the city to build a medical shed, and the people sent here can live there. The construction has already started today, and it can be built in two or three days.
The medical sheds are all made of wood and thatch, which is not difficult, but the wood needs to be cut down, and the thatch needs to be collected and purchased.
But these all work, albeit with difficulty.
Man Bao sighed and understood, "We will be ready."
Bai Shan poured another bowl of soup for her, and said, "Drink more, I think you've lost weight."
Man Bao looked at Bai Shan and said sincerely, "You've lost weight too."
Two days later, Zhou Liru, who was standing in front of Man Bao, also hugged my sister-in-law and cried, "Sister-in-law, you have lost weight."
Liu Sanniang and Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao at the side thought it was true.
Man Bao was very surprised, "Why are you all here?"
As a big brother, Zheng Gu replied on behalf of everyone, "The imperial hospital posted a notice that we, as medical assistants in the imperial hospital, must not fall behind the private doctors, so we signed up together. And the master is here, as a disciple, I should wait by your side."
Man Bao asked: "It's fine for the three of you, why is Li Ru here?"
She has only been studying for a few years, and although she looks a little better now, she can't speak independently at all.
Zhou Liru hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I'm here to help you. I heard from the officials that you don't even have a handy helper here. Senior brothers and sisters can prescribe prescriptions independently. They can see patients by themselves, so I will help you." I will help you."
Then avoiding people, he whispered: "I was worried about my sister-in-law and second sister, so I came to see it."
Everyone is here, and I can't rush back, so Man Bao nodded and said: "Okay, you can stay with me, have you taken the pills I sent back?"
"Eat it, sister-in-law, it tastes like the candy you gave us when we were young."
Man Bao complained in his heart: The taste is similar, but the price is not the same at all. You can buy a lot of that kind of sugar with one point, but this one costs more than a thousand points.
Oh, yes, after a few transactions, it has now reached 1,800 points per point.
Man Bao touched his heart and asked, "Has everyone in the family eaten too?"
Zhou Liru nodded, "I ate them all, even the servants at home."
All the servants belonged to the Bai family, but Man Bao said in the letter that he would give one to each of the servants in the family, so as not to catch the disease when they went out.
Man Bao nodded, turned around and went to Liu Sanniang to ask, "Did the medicine bottle I sent back be sent to the crown prince?"
"Yes, I personally watched the crown princess and the little emperor take it. I didn't see the remaining one because His Highness the crown prince was away, but I asked the little emperor's pulse later, the prince The imperial concubine said that His Highness has already used it." Liu Sanniang paused and then laughed in a low voice: "The Crown Princess also said that this medicine is like a sugar pill, and His Highness has been talking about it for a long time after taking it."
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "It's good to eat."
Only then did Liu Sanniang hesitate and said, "Sister, Lizhong is here too."
Man Bao stared, "Why is he here?"
Liu Sanniang said: "He brought food, the main reason is that the family is worried about my sister-in-law and fourth uncle, so I let him come with us."
In fact, after they received the letter from the official, Zhou Lizhong decided to come to Xiazhou with them as soon as the yamen announced the recruitment of doctors.
He set aside half a year's worth of grain for the restaurant and his family, and brought in all the grain from his sister-in-law's Lumi and the summer and autumn harvests from the workers' fields in Pu Village, and followed the imperial team to Beijing.
This time the Imperial Army will personally send medicinal materials and people to Xiazhou, because his wife and younger sister are in the team, and he is Zhou Man's nephew, so the people at the court also take good care of them.
Liu Sanniang said: "As soon as he entered the city today, he was invited by the manager of the grain shop in the city, and people from the yamen also went to buy grain from him."
In fact, there is not much food shortage in Xiazhou now, and the autumn harvest this year is still good. Yang Heshu and Bai Shan have calculated in private that people have surplus food in their homes, and people will not starve to death.
However, under the epidemic situation, people are panicking and food prices have risen. The yamen has to take out food to appease the people. People may still have food in their homes, but the yamen does not have much.
Moreover, there is still half a year until the summer harvest after the epidemic. This year, the epidemic has affected farming. From March to June next year, the price of grain in Xiazhou will definitely soar.
Ordinary people may not think of this, but they have their own way of survival, and they will definitely keep some food.
Therefore, there is very little food in circulation on the market.
Zhou Lizhong led people to transport the grain to the gate of the city, but he did not let the tenants escorted into the city. Instead, he sent someone to send a letter to Zhou Zhoulang, and then opened a grain bag to distribute some grain to them, "This is the road on the way. You can go back together now, and take the documents we have brought along, you have not entered Xiazhou City, and you have not come into contact with smallpox patients, so you can pass the checkpoint."
He added: "When I get home, my father will settle the wages with you."
That's right, Zhou Lizhong didn't invite anyone outside at all. The workers for the ten grain carts were all tenants of Pu Village. It was agreed before they came that they just need to send the grain outside Xiazhou City instead of entering the city.
