When Zhou Zhoulang arrived after receiving the letter, Zhou Lizhong was almost dragged to the county government office. As soon as he saw the fourth uncle, he immediately waved to him excitedly and shouted: "Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, our food is still in the city. Where's the door..."
Seeing Zhou Lizhong, the stewards who were pulling Zhou Lizhong immediately let go of Zhou Lizhong's hand, with regret on their faces.
Why is this stingy nephew
Zhou Zhou Lang rushed forward and dragged Zhou Lizhong back, bowed to everyone again and again, and said with a smile: "Everyone wants to buy grain, fate is fate, it's all fate, Lizhong, come quickly and call someone, this is the steward of Chen Ji's grain shop …”
The so-called people who reach out and don't hit the smiling face, even if Zhou Zhou Lang is doing business and asking for a price desperately, and he is still slippery, everyone still squeezed out a smile to respond to his smiling face, and then made an appointment with him to see the food at another time with regret.
They received the news early this morning that people from the capital city were coming, accompanied by not only medicinal materials for relief, but also grain merchants who followed the convoy.
Although they still have food in their inventory, this year is special, and they don't think too much of food.
So I waited at the gate of the city early, and as soon as the owner of the batch of grain was confirmed, he immediately pulled people into the city. I wanted to go to a restaurant to have a meal and talk about business by the way.
Who knew that the county government also had the idea of food, so they had to follow all the way to the county government.
I was still wondering why this owner is so young and looks like a crown.
Such a young boy dares to transport grain to Xiazhou City at this time. He may not have a plan, but he must be brave enough.
Who knew it turned out to be Zhou Zhoulang's nephew.
After walking away, everyone shook their heads, knowing that it was impossible to take advantage of Zhou Lizhong.
Seeing that everyone had left, Zhou Zhoulang dragged Zhou Lizhong to the city gate, and asked, "Who is watching the food?"
"The tenants in Pu Village, I just distributed food to them, and I haven't had time to let them go. Fourth uncle, there are many sick people in the city. I made an agreement with them not to let them enter the city. We have to call people Go get the food in."
Zhou Zhoulang said: "Lijun and Xiang Mingxue took the third son and the others. I was halfway there and heard that you were dragged away and came to rescue you. You are also so courageous. Do you know who they are?" go with them?"
He said: "You are not afraid that they will drink you alcohol and force you to press your fingerprints on the paperwork."
It's not like they haven't experienced such deceitful things when they travel north and south, even when the knife rest is on their necks.
Zhou Lizhong said: "The leader is the official of the county government. I have to give face. Besides, isn't this under Master Yang's command?"
He has no confidence in others, but he still has great confidence in Yang Heshu. He doesn't feel that the officials he manages dare to buy and sell by force.
Zhou Zhoulang asked, "You came alone? Why didn't Liwei follow?"
Zhou Lizhong smiled naively, "There must always be someone in the family who knows how to keep accounts."
He paused and said, "My wife and third sister are also here."
Zhou Zhoulang stared, "Why are they here? It's dangerous here, we didn't dare to go out casually, they..."
Zhou Zhoulang suddenly remembered that the eldest nephew's wife and Liru are both doctors...
Zhou Lizhong nodded to Zhou Zhoulang, "The imperial court issued a recruitment document, and they all signed up."
He said: "There are a lot of people here. There are nine folk doctors. Doctor Tao from Jishitang also came. Originally, Doctor Ding also came, but there were also people in the capital suffering from smallpox. The imperial court left behind several people. A doctor..."
Zheng Gu was also reporting to Zhou Man, "Smallpox was also found in the capital. Master and you have only left for two days, and someone came to Jishitang quietly to see a doctor. The acne on that person's body was all gone, and he had a high fever all over. Doctor Ding only looked at it. I knew at a glance that I couldn't be saved, because I had acne all over my body, and I wasn't sure if it was smallpox or chickenpox, but they didn't sound like they were from the capital, like they came from the north, so I reported to the county government."
"The county magistrate Tang followed the line to check and found out that they secretly came out from Xiazhou to seek medical treatment. There are many people like them. Fortunately, they were discovered in time. Now the number of smallpox patients in Beijing is 30. Eight people, thirty-two of them are newly added."
In other words, six people infected thirty-two people.
Man Bao rubbed his forehead and asked, "There are so many people in the capital, since smallpox is everywhere, why do you still come here?"
"Magistrate Tang said that although the capital has a large population, if it is discovered early, as long as it is properly controlled, there will be no major problems. Moreover, the best doctors in the Jin Dynasty are in the capital, and the most complete and best medicinal materials are also in the capital. In contrast, Xiazhou is now at a time of life and death," he said, "The county magistrate Tang said that only Xiazhou City is sealed off now, but the villages and towns outside are still open. Housing all the sick and curing them, once there is chaos and the victims go south, or even disperse, the consequences will be disastrous."
It is also because of knowing this that the imperial court spent a lot of money to recruit doctors to Xiazhou, and would not withhold relief money from Xiazhou.
Because Imperial Physician Zheng is in Xiazhou, Zhou Man is also here, so the Zheng family is very concerned about the movements in the court, he said: "My father found out that the money allocated by the court this time is under the joint supervision of Master Wei and the Ministry of Households, so All the medicinal materials bought were sent by the imperial army, and apart from Xiazhou, there are also relief funds in Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places below, and all of them are replaced with medicinal materials and sent to the country."
This is to prevent local officials from withholding relief funds and not engaging in personnel affairs.
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, "So there are medicinal materials coming later?"
Zheng Gu nodded, "The household department has talked with several drug dealers through our house. My father estimated that we should be able to buy another batch of medicinal materials eight or nine days after we come out, and then distribute them again. I think There will be another batch in eleven or twelve days.”
"That's great, what Xiazhou City lacks most now is medicinal materials." Man Bao said, "Since you're here, rest first, and when Imperial Physician Lu is free, I'll definitely call everyone together for a meeting. Tasks will be assigned from time to time, this time the condition is no worse than before, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you, but I will ask Imperial Physician Lu to put us as close as possible, and if you have anything you don't understand, come and ask me."
The four of them responded together.
Man Bao asked: "Okay, let's talk about it, are there any acquaintances of mine besides you?"
Zheng Gu and Zheng Shao looked at Liu Sanniang, and Liu Sanniang looked at Zhou Liru.
Zhou Liru, who was closest to Man Bao, could only say: "Auntie, there are only twenty-eight doctors this time, but besides the doctors, there are also students from the Imperial College and Chongwenguan who were ordered to help."
Man Bao frowned.
Zhou Liru said: "Young Master Bai is here, and Mr. Yin is also here..."
Only four people came to the Chongwen Museum, one was Yin He, and the other three were Liu Huan, Feng Zongping and Yi Ziyang.
A lot of people came from the Guozijian, including Bai Zhi, there were thirty-eight people in total, forty-two people together.
