The queue of victims outside the city was very long, and the two old doctors were shocked as soon as they came out of the city gate.
"Do all these people need to see a doctor?"
"Yes, the county magistrate has said that every disaster victim must be in good health and can go to the city to work after being examined. This is not only for their sake, but also for the benefit of the people in the city, so as to save the chance of someone getting infected.
The epidemic has made life difficult for the common people and the victims..."
Li Biao looked proud. No other county magistrate would have treated these victims, but Mr. Shen was the only one who loved the people so much. He was a well-deserved parental official.
"Sir, you are very thoughtful. There will be epidemics after the drought. You must check carefully and prepare in advance!"
These two old doctors were both experienced people. They had experienced the plague when they were young. It was extremely contagious and killed an entire village.
Therefore, they only felt that the county magistrate's decision was a precautionary and far-sighted decision, and their impression of the county magistrate also changed.
The victims came forward to check one by one. Most of them were in poor health and had no major problems. After checking, they went to Shi Lei to get some porridge.
The victims relied on this daily bowl of porridge to survive. They cherished the bowl and sipped it in small sips. White porridge was luxurious. They didn't drink it often before they fled the famine. Although they don't have enough to eat now,
Being able to drink plain porridge every day is something I never dared to imagine before.
"Sir, when can we enter the city?"
Some of the victims were in good health after being examined. After receiving the porridge from Shi Lei, they asked. They had been staying outside the city for several months and they couldn't wait to enter the city.
Shi Lei stood next to the pot and was responsible for keeping an eye on the order of the victims to prevent anyone from cutting in the queue or causing trouble. However, most people abided by the rules. After all, if you were caught making trouble, you would not be able to receive the porridge. Most people would not do this.
"Waiting for the notice from the county magistrate."
They are only responsible for epidemic prevention and porridge first, and Shen Yanqing's next plan has not yet been announced.
The victims did not get a definite answer, and their eyes were a little disappointed, but they did not dare to say anything, so they could only take the porridge and go back to their homes.
However, the county magistrate is now giving them porridge and seeing a doctor, and will probably let them enter the city soon. Hope is kindled in the hearts of a group of people.
Let's talk about Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao. In the past few days, Zhenjiang Prefecture has received several teams of people delivering food. Most of them were raised by shopkeeper Qin and some ladies who often visited dim sum shops.
They often eat Jiang Ji's snacks and are familiar with Jiang Miao. They know that she followed Shen Yanqing to Zhenjiang Mansion to provide disaster relief. These ladies admire her from the bottom of their hearts. If they were allowed to give up their stable and prosperous lives and come to this violent place to suffer,
They don't want to.
Jiang Miao clicked on the list, and shopkeeper Qin clearly wrote down the amounts donated by everyone, which made it easier for Jiang Miao to calculate.
"Shopkeeper Qin has two cars, Mrs. Chen has one car, Mrs. Zhang has one car... Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin have five cars..."
Jiang Miao paused when she saw the names of Lin Yusheng and Mrs. Lin. She handed the list to Shen Yanqing.
"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to also donate food to Zhenjiang Prefecture."
"Well, Mr. Lin is very charitable and has helped me a lot."
Although Shen Yanqing and Lin Yusheng had little acquaintance, Lin Yusheng helped them a lot whether it was the previous cheating in the scientific examination or Shen Yingxue's matter.
Shen Yanqing kept these kindnesses in his heart. He had just entered the court and became an official, but his foundation was still shallow. Now that he had become friends with Lin Yusheng, it was also a help.
"Why are there five more cars? I don't know who didn't leave their names..."
After Jiang Miao finished the calculation, she found that there were several cars that she didn't know who had donated them. Her eyes were full of doubts, and she read the list from beginning to end again, but still couldn't find the person who donated it.
"Is there someone who wants to do good deeds anonymously?" Jiang Miao muttered. She asked Shopkeeper Qin for the list in order to repay these kind people later.
She couldn't find anyone after searching for these anonymous items. Jiang Miao felt helpless and had no choice but to have all the food put in the warehouse. No matter who kind-hearted person donated it, she would thank him on behalf of the victims of the Zhenjiang Prefecture.
"Ms. sir, now that the victims have completed their physical examinations, do we need to arrange a place for them to live? Staying outside the city is not an option..."
Moreover, the weather is about to get completely hot. The temperature in Zhenjiang Prefecture is very high in summer, and there is no shade outside the city. Jiang Miao is afraid that the victims will suffer from heatstroke.
"Although there are idle houses in the city, they still cannot accommodate all the victims. I will arrange for Liang Duo to lead the victims to build houses."
"Okay, we also need to plant sweet potatoes quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to plant them after May."
"good."
After Shen Yanqing discussed with Jiang Miao, he went to the study room to draw up a detailed plan and handed it over to Liang Duo for execution the next day.
The physical examination of the victims was coming to an end. The two old doctors had been busy for several days and finally finished examining everyone. Both of them were so tired that their backs ached. The number of patients they had seen in the past few days was more than half a lifetime.
But the hard work was worth it. None of the victims had any major problems. However, to be on the safe side, two old doctors asked Li Biao to boil a large pot of Qingwen Baidu drink and distribute it to the victims.
Seeing that the faces of the victims had regained their vitality, the two old doctors were also happy. They were both citizens of Zhenjiang Prefecture and had lived in Zhenjiang Prefecture all their lives. They did not want to see Zhenjiang Prefecture in ruins due to the famine. The current situation It's getting better and better, and I have hope for the future.
"Thank you for your hard work, doctors. Let's have something to eat first, and then you can rest after all this work."
Li Biao brought two bowls of thick white rice porridge to the two of them. The eyes of the old doctors suddenly lit up, and both of them couldn't help but lick their lips. It was obviously the most common food in the past, but now it is better than the delicacies in the world.
"Thank you, sir..."
The two drank in big gulps, even licking the rice grains at the bottom of the bowl clean. The fragrant rice porridge entered their stomachs, and the fatigue on their bodies dissipated. After finishing the meal, the two reluctantly returned the bowl to Li Biao.
"My lord, the inspection of the victims will be completed soon. Will we still have rice porridge to drink in the future?"
The two of them felt very regretful now. Why couldn't they check more slowly? If they were no longer useful, the official would not give them food.
"Don't worry, I will give you rice and porridge in the future, as long as you can stay in the city and treat the people."
Li Biao took the bowl and gave the two of them a reassurance. After all, the people in the city would always encounter headaches and fever, and it would be impossible without a doctor.
"Okay, we will treat the disease and save the patient!"
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground. All they had to do was provide them with food, and the official only asked them to do their job. They didn't dare to think about such a stable life for two months. , what else is there to be dissatisfied about now?
