The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

She had a serious talk with Xu Yuanqing. To be honest, Xu Yuanqing was the one she trusted the most among the imperial doctors.

Because when the plague in the restricted area was discussed in the palace, he was the first imperial doctor to respond to him.

This young imperial physician showed maturity and stability beyond his years. Perhaps he was used to seeing life, death and separation, and he saw miserable conditions like hell on earth in the Chang'an restricted area and Yangzhou restricted area.

He has changed a lot. If Shen Dongsu first met him, he still had some of the zealous energy unique to officials.

Because he was not appreciated in the old home, he wanted to find another way to respond to Princess Ling's call.

So now, the feeling of 'official' in him is completely gone, he is just a doctor. A doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded does not do his best to save people just for the sake of promotion and big rewards.

But Shen Dongsu still wanted to ask him seriously: "Master Xu, why are you going to Minzhou?"

Xu Yuanqing looked magnanimously and said with a chuckle: "Why did the princess come to Yangzhou in the first place?"

Shen Dongsu's eyes slightly raised: "Because the people of Yangzhou need me."

Xu Yuanqing looked at her with a smile: "In this case, does the princess still ask? Because the people of Minzhou need Xu."

Shen Dongsu smiled and apologized to him: "Master Xu, please don't blame me. I misunderstood."

Xu Yuanqing naturally understood what she was talking about, raised his hands and said with a smile: "If the princess supports Xu, why not give her more medicine and supplies."

Shen Dongsu smiled and said: "This is natural! Don't worry, there are a lot of surplus disaster relief materials prepared by Yangzhou, and they will all be sent to Minzhou."

"It's faster to take a sea boat!"

In the past few months in Yangzhou, she not only did the work of controlling the plague, she also met with the Jiang family and officially became a shareholder of the Jiang family maritime business.

Once the Lu family collapsed, there was a gap in the huge maritime market. Now is a good time to invest.

Gwangju's green tea, cotton cloth, fine wine, perfume, and even Grandpa Shen's eiderdown quilts and Jiang's rice noodles can all be expanded with confidence and boldness.

No matter how many you make, you don’t have to worry about selling them! There are plenty of markets overseas.

For the twelve imperial doctors who were willing to go to Minzhou with Xu Yuanqing, Shen Dongsu personally wrote a letter of commendation and sent it to the court, asking for their promotion.

At this time, any imperial doctor who is willing to go deep into the epidemic area should be rewarded.

The imperial physicians who came to Yangzhou with her were also promoted.

As a result, something unprecedented in the history of Taiyuan Hospital, half of the top doctors were promoted to two levels in a row, and some were promoted to three levels in a row.

Those imperial doctors who followed the care of the old hospital were filled with regret! They missed the best opportunity by not going to the penalty area.

Now I look at the imperial doctors who left with Princess Ling. They were promoted and rewarded. The emperor praised them and gave them brands and plaques.

Xu Yuanqing, in particular, has been appointed by the emperor as the Vice-President. As long as he cures the Minzhou plague and returns, he can become the Vice-President from childhood.

In order to return to Guangzhou as early as possible to celebrate the New Year, Shen Dongsu worked hard to clear out the patients before September, and then left half of the imperial doctors in Yangzhou and half back to Chang'an to recover.

Those who stayed in Yangzhou were just like the restricted area in Chang'an, where a large hospital was opened. She chose the place herself, and the Ministry of Industry cooperated in the construction.

In early September, a decree from the imperial court was sent, praising the imperial doctors who came to Yangzhou and supporting Princess Ling in building a medical clinic in Yangzhou.

The emperor also personally wrote the name of the medical center - Ping'an Hospital.

Shen Dongsu personally designed houses for the twelve imperial doctors who stayed in Ping An Hospital, and gave them a thousand taels each as housing allowance!

What the emperor rewards is reputation and status, and what she gives is real money.

The two complement each other, and the imperial doctors are very willing to stay in Ping'an Hospital, although they will be far away from Chang'an and no longer treat dignitaries.

But they can receive extremely high treatment and respect in Yangzhou. They can see doctors with the people, and the people regard you as their reborn parents.

This is different from that in Chang'an. In Chang'an, when you treat powerful people, especially the empresses in the palace, your life can be lost if you are not careful.

Furthermore, Princess Ling has trained a group of female medical nurses since the Chang'an restricted area, and she gave them a new professional title - nurses.

At first, the imperial doctors were opposed to it. It was forbidden for women to practice medicine. Over the past few hundred years, a strange woman like Princess Ling had only appeared.

But they soon discovered that the imperial doctors were responsible for treating diseases, but also for trivial matters such as giving medicine to patients, cleaning sores and filth, and sorting out patients' medical records.

It is true that female nurses do a better job. They are attentive and considerate. Having them take care of patients greatly alleviates their pain.

And the doctor only needs to be responsible for making diagnoses and prescribing medicines, which saves a lot of worry.

The princess has always emphasized the importance of nurses, saying that many patients die not from injuries but from post-illness care.

Just like the wounded soldiers in the army, many died not from sword wounds, but from wound inflammation and improper care, and died in the sick camp.

Many women die not from childbirth but from puerperal fever.

When it comes to production issues in this era, Shen Dongsu, a person who has personally delivered babies, has a hundred thousand things to complain about.

But not now. When these doctors heard about the mother, they started to frown. In their understanding, midwifery is the job of Wen Po and has nothing to do with the imperial physician.

This is also the reason why Shen Dongsu strongly recommends female nurses, to make subtle changes in small areas.

These deaths could be avoided if there were enough nurses.

Just like this plague, if there are no nurses, even if there are special medicines, cross-infection cannot be avoided due to hygiene problems.

This convinced the imperial doctors that the work of nurses was much more important than they imagined, and the wages of female nurses were not high.

There is no need to be afraid of learning real skills like apprentices. Nurses only need to learn some simple care and understand herbal medicine.

After arriving in Yangzhou, Shen Dongsu first selected some girls over fifteen years old from the patients' family members to be nurses.

At that time, these girls were facing a cold winter. They had neither enough food nor clothing to keep them warm at home, but they were chosen by Princess Ling to take care of their food, drink and cotton-padded clothes.

She can also take care of her sick family members, and she also gets a hundred wages per month, so she is all vying to be a nurse.

Later, after the girls in the family were selected, documents were officially issued to recruit female nurses. Many girls were also willing to apply.

Shen Dongsu selected a hundred of these girls and taught them carefully with intelligence and potential. By September, they were all able to take on their own roles and became head nurses.

This time Xu Yuanqing went to Minzhou and took thirty head nurses with him.

The emerging profession of nursing did not arise from Chang'an North District, but it flourished from Yangzhou.

Think about it, when people in later generations talk about Yangzhou women, the first thing they think of is Yangzhou Shou Ma. In this era, the gentry was still in power, and there was no such thing as raising thin horses.

Shen Dongsu single-handedly helped Yangzhou girls change their career direction. From now on, the ones who will be famous are not Yangzhou thin horses, but Yangzhou female nurses, and then female doctors.

On the tenth day of October, the prefect of Yangzhou and Princess Ling officially announced that Yangzhou City would be unblocked and the plague would be cleared.

This day is not a traditional festival, but in the hearts of the people, it is comparable to the Chinese New Year!

The city of Yangzhou, which had been gloomy and withered for more than half a year, suddenly came alive. Dragon and lion dances were paraded through the streets, and people brought their children to the streets to celebrate.

At the same time, he saw off Princess Ling, who officially set off back to her hometown in Gwangju to celebrate the New Year.

This was the emperor's special decree. In the last imperial edict to commend the imperial doctors, one specifically for Princess Ling was that she was allowed to return to her hometown to reunite with her family, and then go directly to Youzhou after the Chinese New Year.

It should be said that Shen Dong always came to Yangzhou before, making the noble ladies of Chang'an think she was stupid. Now that she has become famous, those people are extremely envious.

The most enviable thing is that she can go back to her natal family for reunion. It is very common for many girls who marry far away, especially those who marry into the royal family, to never return to their natal family again in their entire lives.

What's more, the husband guards the border, and his wife rarely goes with him. The wife stays at home, being filial to her parents-in-law and managing the family affairs.

A virtuous wife will also send several beautiful concubines to serve her husband at the border. It is not uncommon for couples to stay apart for several years without seeing each other.

Like Mrs. Jiang, her husband left not long after the wedding. She was at home filial piety to her elders and raising her children, and she also had to support the entire Liu family.

As a result, Marquis Liu found a common wife at the border and had children, while the Jiang family became an outsider...

Unexpectedly, the emperor favored Princess Ling so much. He not only allowed her to return to her hometown to reunite with her family, but also allowed her to go to Youzhou to reunite with Prince Ling.

Now all the ladies and gentlemen who had seen Shen Dongsu's jokes could no longer laugh. People say privately, why is this Shen so lucky!

Isn't she the fate of God? Where is the evil spirit here? It’s obviously a lucky destiny!

In early October, news about the East Palace spread, and the discussion about Princess Ling subsided.

The crown prince Zhang Chaoying and the concubine Li Linyu of the East Palace were pregnant at the same time. The prince was overjoyed. He married two wives and had several concubines, but he only got one daughter.

Now that his wife and concubine are pregnant at the same time, if he gives birth to a son, the crown prince will be more stable.

Because of this great event, his uncle Chen Guogong, who had become indifferent to the queen since she was relegated to the cold palace, also sent Chen Xingjin to the East Palace to deliver congratulatory gifts.

The prince felt at ease. Although the Lu family collapsed and half of his money bag was lost, Prince Ling, a nuisance, went to the bitter cold Youzhou.

Shen Dongsu, the wicked woman, also left Chang'an. He will soon have a son, and he was recently praised by the emperor in the government.

The prince felt that the bad luck brought by Prince Ling and his wife when they came to Beijing last year was finally gone!

Shen Dong was not in Chang'an. The prince was happy, and she was even happier!

Especially now that I can still go home. It has only been more than a year since I left home, but so many things have happened in this year.

It made her feel as if she had been away from home for a long time! Mo Xiujin went home with her and went to Youzhou together after the New Year.

Mo Xiujin finally fully believed that she could cure his madness. Since he could no longer take part in the imperial examination, he should go work for Prince Ling!

Big Fish Brother couldn't come back together because Big Fish Brother had joined the Ministry of Industry as an official, the eighth-grade chief, and was not responsible for the production of hot air balloons.

Shen Dongsu did not hand over the hot air balloon technology to the court, and the emperor did not ask further questions, acquiescing that it was Princess Ling's private property.

After arriving in Youzhou, she planned to give this technology to Mr. Pang to see how to use it with the best effect.

Brother Dayu's job in the Ministry of Industry is to build Ping'an Hospital, and he is also the spokesperson for Shen Dongsu to stay in Yangzhou.

As for Brother Big Fish’s friend Lu Yunzhou, talking about this person is quite surprising.

It has to be said that Lu Yunzhou hid himself very well, and Shen Dongsu had no doubt that there was any problem with this person's identity.

As soon as he saw the hot air balloon, he transformed into a 'science man' and fully devoted himself to it. If Shen Dongsu hadn't been busy controlling the plague, he could have stayed by his side asking questions all day long.

I don't know how Mo Xiujin figured it out. He couldn't tell. He just relied on his own experience as a spy in the Lu family.

He quietly told Shen Dongsu that there was something wrong with Lu Yunzhou and he could not be allowed to return to Shenjia Village again. He was a hidden danger.

Shen Dongsu asked Dayu carefully about his origins. Dayu thought he knew Lu Yunzhou very well, but after asking, he realized that he really didn't know him well.

He seemed to have suddenly appeared in Shenjia Village and wanted to learn how to make waterwheels from Father Shen, but later gave up and dragged Big Yu into becoming his disciple. From then on, he was with Big Yu every day...

As for his past, Big Fish knows nothing about it.

Big Fish asked nervously: "Dong...Princess, is there something wrong with Senior Brother Lu?"

Shen Dongsu could feel that Brother Dayu valued this friend very much, and sighed softly:

"It's hard to say yet. There is no evidence. It's just brother Xiao Pan's suspicion."

"However, it's better to ask him not to return to Shenjia Village first."

Da Yu forced a smile: "He has always asked me to go on study tours with him. I probably don't want to stay in Shenjia Village for a long time."

Shen Dongsu quickly thought of a good idea. Regardless of whether Lu Yunzhou was a spy or not, she couldn't find out, but someone could find out!

That was Mr. Pang. She believed that no one could escape from the clever Mr. Pang!

It happened that Lu Yunzhou was very curious about hot air balloons. When she sent someone to send hot air balloons to Youzhou, she smiled and asked Lu Yunzhou if he wanted to go with him.

Lu Yunzhou went with him without much doubt. He really wanted to see the hot air balloon flying at the border.

In this way, after Aunt Shi was led to Dianzhou by Jia Shiba, the Queen's second spy, Lu Yunzhou, was led to Youzhou by a hot air balloon.

When Shen Dongsu left Yangzhou, there was no need for anyone to organize it, and the people spontaneously walked along the road to see him off.

The people who had been cured by Shen Dongsu knelt on the roadside and called Princess Ling a living Bodhisattva.

Yangzhou officials sent her out of the city collectively. They knew very well that after leaving, Princess Ling might never come to Yangzhou again.

During the ten months she was in Yangzhou, she did not travel around the mountains or waste money. Instead, she saved countless people and punished the troubled nobles.

Everyone praised Princess Ling and her party for making the water in Yangzhou clear by three cents!

Along the way from Yangzhou to Guangzhou, in every state city her team passed through, officials and people came to greet her outside the city.

It's much more lively than the road from Chang'an to Yangzhou, because people in these cities and towns have taken her special medicine and abided by the ten anti-epidemic restrictions to stay safe.

She would not accept gold and silver gifts from officials, but she would happily accept them if they gave them specialties from her hometown.

When she met people asking for medicine along the way, she would not let the imperial guards drive them away and would get out of the car to diagnose and treat them herself.

In this way, we walked slowly all the way. Almost every city we visited, people lined up to seek medical advice.

Normally, it takes five days to go from Yangzhou to Guangzhou by horseback, or half a month by car.

But Shen Dongsu walked for more than a month. It snowed again at the end of October, and the speed was even slower.

It wasn't until the twentieth day of the winter lunar month, after the winter solstice, that her team arrived in Yizhou.

Ten miles outside Yizhou City, she saw her eldest brother Shen Linzhong.
