Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

40 years later

Both Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo have reached the age of having grandchildren. These years, although Xiao Zimo has done a good job in government affairs, the minister he offended when he was young has always suppressed him, which has also caused him to stay in the county. Make this position.

Fortunately, Xiao Zimo did not have the idea of ​​getting promoted step by step. He has stayed in Puchang County for so many years and has deep feelings for everything here. The people here also love and respect him.

He will be 60 years old in three months now, and he has reached the age of becoming a scholar. Xiao Zimo has submitted the paperwork for the scholarship half a month ago, and now he is only waiting for the approval. Someone will take over his official duties. You can completely relax at home, and you will have a lot of time to spend with Brother Bai and the children in the future.

Oh no, the kids are all grown up and there should be time for the grandkids.

Wu Bai came over with a bowl of soup, put it in front of him, and said softly, "Are you still reading the scriptures?"

"Well, I'm still a few months away from being a scholar. I want to classify all these things well, so that I won't be in a hurry when the next county magistrate arrives. This can be regarded as the last thing I do for the people! "

"You're not young anymore, you can wait until tomorrow to read this, it hurts your eyes to watch these things at night!" Wu Bai snatched the booklet from his hand and put it aside.

"Drink this evening soup quickly, or you won't be able to sleep well at night." Wu Bai pushed the soup bowl in front of him.

Xiao Zimo took it with a smile, drank it down, and handed him the bowl back.

Wu Bai handed the bowl to Wanfeng, then walked behind Xiao Zimo and rubbed his shoulders.

"Fu Lang, it is my blessing to marry you." Xiao Zimo turned around and held his hand.

"You, I'm tired of hearing this sentence, can't you change it to something fresher?" Wu Bai laughed.

"Then it's my blessing that you can marry me." Xiao Zimo said in another way.

"Isn't that still the same meaning?" Wu Bai pushed him.

The next day, Xiao Zimo woke up early and started sorting out those papers. Suddenly, a yamen servant came in and reported that there was an epidemic in the neighboring state capital.

The former yamen servants have retired long ago and replaced them with new ones.

However, these young yamen servants respect Xiao Zimo even more. After all, they have listened to adults telling how rare and good the magistrate Xiao is since they were young. Under the leadership of the husband and wife, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Is the news accurate?" Xiao Zimo asked seriously.

The yamen servant nodded and said: "Accurate, I heard that the epidemic in the neighboring state capital is fierce and the city has been closed, but there are still a few people who escaped from the city before the closure, and some even came in the direction of Puchang County."

Xiao Zimo thought for a moment, then quickly ordered: "You call the master to go to the front and rear gates, and tell them to close the gates quickly, and no one is allowed to enter the city."

The yamen servant didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately called a brother to go with him on this matter.

After he left, Xiao Zimo called in the yamen servants again and asked them to buy food for storage, as well as some clothes and things for building a shed.

After all the things arrived, Xiao Zimo ordered them to move the things to build the shed outside the city gate first, and ordered them to build the shed quickly.

Some people who wanted to enter the city but were rejected outside the city hadn't left yet. When they saw Xiao Zimo, they hurried forward and asked, "My lord, what's going on? Why aren't we allowed to enter the city?"

Xiao Zimo didn't hide it either, and said directly: "There is an epidemic in the state capital next door, and people will come to Puchang County in two days. I don't know if they are infected with the epidemic. For the sake of the people in the city , everyone should not go into the city recently, and you should also stay at home and don’t walk around at will, let alone help strangers at will, in case the other party has the source of the epidemic and infects you.”

"The epidemic!! Is it true?" Some people were shocked.

"It's true, I just got the news. In addition, if you see any suspicious people, tell them to come to the gate of the county seat. I have ordered my subordinates to build a shed for them, and I will give porridge at that time, although they can't let them Entering the city, but I will not give up on them easily." Xiao Zimo said seriously.

"Okay, then I won't go into the city today, let's listen to Master Xiao, let's all go home, and come back after we escape this for a while." Someone shouted loudly.

"go home."

"go home."

Regarding this situation, the common people also understood Xiao Zimo's approach very well, they didn't complain at all, everyone took their own things and went home the same way.

As they returned home, the news that the neighboring state capital had an epidemic and that someone had fled to Puchang County quickly spread throughout the ten miles and eight villages.

As a result, the people outside the city stayed at home one after another, and they all stayed at home honestly. Anyway, their families were quite well-off, and they had a lot of surplus food at home.

As for the grain in the fields?Most of them don't grow food now, they all plant medicinal materials, and then buy food to store up for food.

Occasionally someone in the house heard someone shouting outside, and they didn't open the door easily, they just shouted to tell the other party to go to the gate of the county seat, where someone was giving out porridge.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, the people outside the door did not continue to pester, and soon left the village and went to the gate of the county seat.

As the county magistrate, Xiao Zimo couldn't bear to watch those yamen servants serving porridge outside the city, while he himself hid in the city and watched, so he would occasionally come to the gate of the city with the mask Wu Bai sewed for him , take care of those people who fled from the neighboring state capital.

By the way, inquire about the situation in the neighboring state capital from those common people.

On this day, he learned from a commoner that the imperial court had sent an imperial doctor to treat the epidemic.

Hearing the news, Xiao Zimo breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, after a month, Xiao Zimo suddenly contracted the disease. He was already old, and his resistance was not as good as those young people, but none of the government servants who gave porridge to the victims all day was infected. blight.

Xiao Zimo fell down, Wu Bai immediately came outside the city to take care of him after hearing about it.

He took over the affairs in Xiao Zimo's hands, arranged the affairs outside the city in an orderly manner, and made sure that Xiao Zimo could recover from his illness at ease, and at the same time inquired about the news from the people.

Xiao Zimo lay on the bed for five days, getting weaker day by day. He thought he couldn't bear it anymore, so he was talking to Wu Bai, trying to make him not feel sad, but in the end, things turned around, and news came from the neighboring state that those The imperial physician has found the source of the epidemic, and now he has prescribed the right medicine and formulated a prescription to treat the epidemic.

Wu Bai hurriedly searched for someone to inquire about the prescription, and when he got it, he immediately ordered the servants to make a large pot of medicinal soup, brought a bowl to Xiao Zimo, and gave the rest to the people outside the city.

After drinking the medicine for two days, Xiao Zimo's health gradually improved, which showed that the prescription was correct.

Seeing Xiao Zimo getting better, Wu Bai cried with joy. He had been pretending to be strong for the past two days, but in his heart he was really worried that Xiao Zimo would leave him early in this life. The old couple embraced each other, and Wu Bai He couldn't cry, Xiao Zimo kept comforting him.

As Xiao Zimo got better, most of the people outside the city also got better. They heard that this prescription came from the neighboring prefecture, and it was researched by the imperial physician sent by the capital, and they were immediately relieved. , and their health improved, they returned together one after another and left Puchang County.

They were lucky enough to meet Mrs. Xiao Zimo and provide them with food, lodging and medicinal materials for free, but there are still a large number of people like them who have not been treated. Those people learned that the imperial physician had developed a prescription and thought they would be saved. , also dragging the sick body back.

When those people returned to the state capital next door, they found that the medicinal materials here had been used up. Many people who had been staying in the prefecture had no medicinal soup to drink, and the medicinal materials sent by the imperial court were still on the way. time to arrive.

Seeing this situation, some people who drank medicine from Puchang County and returned from illness suggested that they should come to Puchang County.

So another large wave of people came to Puchang County, bringing news of the lack of medicine in the neighboring state capital.

But these people had already arrived, so Xiao Zimo didn't ask the yamen servants to put away the shed, but let them live there, and provided them with food and medicinal soup every day.

At the same time, he also issued a notice to buy medicinal materials from the people in the entire county. He planned to send all these medicinal materials to the neighboring state capital. After all, saving people is like putting out fires. Only offered to spend money to buy.

Sure enough, as soon as the common people heard that he was going to buy medicinal materials, they brought out their own prepared medicinal materials and came to the county government.

Puchang County is indeed a hometown of medicinal materials. The people in the county have a lot of medicinal materials in their homes, which quickly emptied the county government's finances. With Wu Bai's support, Xiao Zimo even took out most of his property to buy them. these herbs.

The medicinal materials were quickly gathered, and Xiao Zimo sent a few steady government servants, and ordered them to lead the people who had recovered from their illnesses and were going back to their hometowns to send the medicinal materials to the neighboring state capital.

Those people also have relatives who are still waiting for help, so they didn't delay at all along the way, and it took them two days to rush to the next state capital.

The state capital next door received the help of a large amount of medicinal materials at once, and quickly set up a large number of pots to cook the medicinal soup.

These medicinal materials are just timely rain. Most of the epidemics of the people in the neighboring state capital have been cured, and the remaining half have also drank a bowl of soup and medicine, and waited for the medicinal materials sent by the imperial court.

It took a total of more than three months for this epidemic to completely dissipate without a trace, and hopeful smiles once again appeared on the faces of the people.

The imperial physicians also retired after success, got into the carriage one after another, and returned to Beijing by the same way as the officers and soldiers who escorted the medicinal materials.

At this time, Xiao Zimo's papers for scholars had also been approved, and the new county magistrate had already taken over his official duties.

It's just that the county magistrate looked very unhappy looking at the county government that was short of money, but he couldn't say anything wrong with Xiao Zimo.

In the end, he could only swallow this breath helplessly.

As the imperial physicians returned to the capital and told about Xiao Zimo's contribution to the epidemic, the emperor was very happy and planned to promote Xiao Zimo's official position, but the Minister of the Ministry of Officials stood up at this time and said that Xiao Zimo had already caused a serious illness. doctor thing.

The emperor was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that there were officials he couldn't get promoted?

But this also made the emperor interested in Xiao Zimo. He felt that the other party's behavior was like a person doing big things, how could he be a small county magistrate all his life.

So he sent someone to investigate Xiao Zimo's past, and found that the other party had made remarkable achievements, and was appraised by the local government every year.

The emperor immediately realized that there must be something tricky in it. After investigation, he found that someone was targeting Xiao Zimo, which caused Xiao Zimo to stay in that small county all his life.

Thinking of Xiao Zimo's extraordinary ability, but because of the suppression of such despicable villains, the court lost a talent, and this time he failed to seal Xiao Zimo's official position, the emperor was full of indebtedness to Xiao Zimo, and also full of Facing the anger of the courtier who suppressed Xiao Zimo, the emperor found a random excuse and demoted him to county magistrate. He wanted this courtier to experience the feeling of being suppressed.

After dealing with this courtier, the emperor still felt uneasy. After thinking about it, he finally ordered Xiao Zimo to be named a 'Viscount', rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, and a piece of paper written as 'Renshan County Magistrate'. Plaque with him.

Puchang County

Xiao Zimo was stunned for a moment when he received the edict and plaque, but he quickly accepted it calmly.

The new county magistrate was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect to be a "viscount" after being a county magistrate, he immediately looked at Xiao Zimo with admiration, this is simply "the light of the county magistrate"!

From then on, he never felt dissatisfied with Xiao Zimo. He often went to the Xiao Manor to ask Xiao Zimo for advice, and his style of doing things was the same as Xiao Zimo used to treat the common people!

In this life, Xiao Zimo only lived to be 70 years old. After all, his body was affected by the previous epidemic. After his death, Wu Bai also went with him soon.

The deeds of their husband and wife have also been widely praised by the people of Puchang County.
