Quick Transmigration: A money-loving man meets a boy who gives away money!
Chapter 39: The Greedy Fox vs. the Princess of Great Chu (9)
Ice flood occurs when the ice fails to melt, causing the water level to rise and the river to overflow.
It was a natural disaster. In ancient times, there was a common saying that "the Yellow River floods, and the river officials are not guilty."
However, natural disasters are unavoidable and post-disaster rescue, resettlement of disaster victims and post-disaster reconstruction are always necessary. But now on the banks of the Yellow River, no one is collecting the bodies of those who have frozen to death.
There was wailing everywhere. People were huddled together in shabby "tents" made of branches and straw, and stone stoves were piled up on the ground.
There was no pain on their faces, but rather numbness, as if they were used to it. Their cloudy eyes stared at the flames under the stone.
Trees cannot be cut down indiscriminately, and these branches are hard to come by, so the flames are not big and can not bring much warmth.
It was the first time that Yu Ci saw this scene. Her body couldn't stop shaking. It was the fear of death and disaster, but more of it was the anger towards the officials' inaction.
Is this feudal society? The cannibalistic scene unfolded before her eyes, even though she was still in the seemingly prosperous Kaifeng half an hour ago.
Yu Ci followed Chu Jiangli's caravan to a tent made of cloth, where someone was cooking porridge.
After the convoy stopped, the relief food to be distributed that day was delivered, and dozens of attendants began to operate in an orderly manner.
It was obvious that he had become very skilled at it. Yu Ci estimated that this had been going on for about five days.
She broke free from Chu Jiangli's embrace and poured out all the herbs in the fox belly. "These are herbs for dispelling cold and preventing disease. Stew them into tea according to the proportions and give them to them to drink."
"I saw quite a few people who were shivering due to the cold. They could be taken to their tents and I would treat them."
"Why, you are a princess, but you can't order the prefect of Kaifeng to come here to provide disaster relief?!" Yu Ci asked the reason and then kept silent. This matter concerned the governance of the entire city, so probably all contact with Shengjing had been cut off.
If Chu Jiangli was a prince, she would have the power of her mother's family and the help of the ministers behind her, but she was a princess, a princess born to the former queen. Although she had a high status, it was like a castle in the air with no one to rely on.
The emperor had asked her to come here on purpose.
Yu Ci stopped asking questions and started sorting the herbs on the spot, working hard.
Chu Jiangli bent down, picked up a herb and asked, "What is this called? What does it do?"
Yu Ci glanced at it casually and replied, "Isatis root, clears away heat and relieves fire, tastes slightly bitter, and is neutral in nature..."
"Oh."
Yu Ci's ears twitched, and she took out a medicine grinder from her fox stomach, "If you're bored, you can take these and grind them."
She was injured and couldn't do any work. She came here because she was worried about the people and to deploy the Yunxiao Guards under her command.
But the main tasks were still taken care of by Qingyu. The wind was blowing in the first two days because he was spreading porridge outside the tent.
Of course, she also attracted the attention of Kaifeng Prefecture Governor Lin Shumo, who thought she was just a kind-hearted and brainless princess who was easy to manipulate and control.
Qingyu should be collecting what she wants now. Chu Jiangli clenched his fingernails, which had not been trimmed for a long time, into his palm, leaving a crescent mark on it.
In fact, there were more than just Yu Ci as doctors in the tent. Some were brought in by coercion or bribery, but most of them did not dare to fight against the officials. When they heard that they were going out of the city to see patients, they claimed to be sick at home.
There are seven doctors scattered in several tents around, and they can take care of it.
Wu Xuan was a doctor hired at a huge price. His family had been practicing medicine for generations, but now they were reduced to poverty with only a thatched cottage left.
Hearing that a kind-hearted nobleman was spending a large sum of money to hire someone to go out of the city to treat patients, he came here to make a living.
After arriving here, he saw the suffering of the people and could not help but feel pity. He and his colleagues carefully examined the patients. Unexpectedly, the nobleman found another doctor.
He saw that the tent where the nobleman lived was set up, and many servants brought the sick, who were shivering and beyond saving, to the entrance of the tent, and then sent them away soon.
Really curious.
After chatting with the attendant next to her, she found out that they were sisters from the newly opened "Hu's Medical Clinic" at the entrance of the West Alley. After twisting a handful of hot water, she felt a little indignant.
The reason he came to this wilderness was because his business was taken away by someone. The price of the medicine quoted by the Hu's Clinic was not enough to cover the cost of the medicine. It was so abominable!
When Wu Xuan thought of this, he had an idea. He ordered his servants to send all the civilians in the tent who looked seriously ill to the Hu sisters.
He! Can't be cured!
See how many people a woman can control.
Stealing someone's money is like killing their parents. Several doctors who were connected to the area followed suit, leaving behind the simple and easily solvable illnesses and sending the rest to the main tent.
If Yu Ci didn't have the great medical book, he would have been exhausted.
She was talking until her mouth was dry. A cup of tea was handed to her, and she licked it. When she turned around, it was Chu Jiangli who bent down to hand her water.
He scratched the ground with his claws, felt embarrassed, turned around and started seeing a new patient.
The servant who was recording the prescriptions on the side couldn't keep up.
After Chu Jiangli put down the cup, he heard that many of these people's cases were repeated and not difficult to treat, and his eyes showed displeasure.
The doctor who was hired with ten times the consultation fee, did he really think that she was being taken advantage of?
Just as he was about to ask his servants to hit the other person, he was stopped by Yu Ci.
What's wrong with you?
How to stop the fox from earning merit? !
Yu Ci flicked Chu Jiangli's calf with her tail, gently, as if she was acting coquettishly.
I don’t know what time it was in the afternoon, Yu Ci looked at the angle of the sun in the cloudy weather and estimated that it was around five or six o’clock, and it would finally be time for dinner.
Chu Jiangli was quite considerate and prepared three big fat chickens for her.
As Yu Ci was eating, she felt embarrassed. No one outside the tent had anything to eat, but she had so much fish and meat. She bit off a chicken leg and said, "Tear the chicken into small pieces and mix it into the porridge."
The fox sensibly pushed the chicken away and looked at Chu Jiangli, who was also drinking rice porridge, but with two plates of reheated dishes.
He walked to the entrance of the tent alone and asked the servants to continue sending people over.
Chu Jiangli looked at the rare chicken left from the fox's mouth, and looked at the fiery red little fox with a soft light in his eyes, and ordered the chicken to be torn into pieces and mixed into the porridge.
This is the remaining rations for the fox.
However, there were too many people waiting to eat, and too much porridge was cooked, so the little bits of meat could not even produce a trace of fat.
You need to keep the fire burning all night to maintain body temperature.
Looking down from the sky, this area looks like a row of red stars, and the brightest one is constantly moving.
The next day, Yu Ci asked Hu Liu to come and work together, and Hu's clinic was temporarily closed.
The people who can enter the city now are much better off than those living along the Yellow River.
As soon as the Hu Clinic was closed, the surrounding clinics and drugstores began to increase their prices. Due to the large number of patients, the prices were even 30% higher than before.
The people are complaining.
