Chapter 166: Taking human life lightly

 "Brother Gu, why did you come to the government office?"

Shen Jintang looked at him and asked, with a vague guess in his heart.

Gu Baiyi smiled and said: "The emperor's grandfather ordered me to pack the food donated by Mr. Shen and send it to the frontier."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jintang knew that his guess was right.

She knew that this matter was urgent, so she said directly: "I have already sent people to transport the food and put it in the warehouse in Zhuangzi. Brother Gu, please come with me."

After saying this, she looked at Shen Mu again and said to him: "Dad, just stay here and do your business. I'll take Brother Gu to load the food."

When Shen Mu heard this, he nodded and said okay.

Shen Jintang also had food transported from Yichang County to Qingzhou a few days ago.

Because Zhuangzi is far away now, riding in a carriage is too slow, so Shen Jintang rode a horse.

The two of them, each with a horse, arrived at Zhuangzi in a short time.

Nowadays, fruit trees are planted in the village and chickens, ducks and geese are raised.

After arriving at Zhuangzi, they got off their horses.

The cart carrying grain is still behind.

Shen Jintang was chatting with Gu Baiyi while waiting for the cart to arrive.

Gu Baiyi: "Sister Jintang, where did you get so much food?"

Shen Jintang smiled when he heard this and said: "I have two farms in Yichang County, and there is also one farm in my previous hometown. The harvests are very good. The harvested grain is not sold, so it is stored in the warehouse."

Gu Baiyi said with a smile: "Master Shen has just been promoted to the prefect of Qingzhou and has donated so much food. I guess even if the emperor has such a heart, he will not be able to reward him with another promotion."

After finishing his words, he paused and continued: "However, there should be other praises."

After all, if these 100,000 shi of grain were sold, they would be worth a lot of money.

Shen Jintang smiled when she heard this. The country was in trouble, and it was nothing if she could donate some food.

I didn’t even think about giving Shen Mu another chance in exchange for a promotion.

My father was promoted from a seventh-grade county magistrate to a fourth-grade prefect.

Upgrading three levels in a row is enough to impress you.

If you were promoted because of donating these grains, it would be too jealous.

While the two were talking, they saw a series of trucks finally arriving.

"Qingdai, go open the warehouse door." Shen Jintang said.

Upon hearing this, Qing Dai respectfully said yes and took the key to open the warehouse door.

These grains are dried and put into sacks.

After the warehouse door opened, Gu Baiyi was a little shocked when he looked at the mountains of food inside.

Sister Jintang's family actually saved so much food.

In times of peace, abundant food means nothing.

If we were to encounter a calamity year and save so much food, how many lives would be saved?

Now that there is a war on the border, Sister Jintang can save the lives of many soldiers by donating 100,000 dan of food.

Gu Baiyi also brought many soldiers to escort the food.

The two of them watched as the soldiers held sacks of grain on their shoulders one by one, and then placed them on carts.

It took nearly a day to finally pack the food.

Shen Jintang looked at Gu Baiyi and said, "It's getting dark today. Brother Gu, you'd better stay here all night and leave early the next morning."

Gu Baiyi shook his head when he heard this, and said in a clear voice: "The shortage of food and grass in the border areas is very tight now. If I send it to you sooner, they will be less hungry for a day."

Shen Jintang also knew this truth well and nodded when he heard this.

She has also recently made a special medicine for wounds, which is now in the pharmacy at home.

"Brother Gu, I have made a batch of wound medicine in the past few days. It is now at my home. You wait here and I will get it for you." Shen Jintang looked at Gu Baiyi and said.

Gu Baiyi was very surprised when he heard this.

He knows the effectiveness of the wound medicine prepared by Shen Jintang.

If it can be used on soldiers fighting on the frontiers, it will definitely reduce a lot of casualties.

Gu Baiyi pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go with you. It's getting late."

He was worried that Shen Jintang would encounter danger on the road.

After all, she is from a girl's family, and it is getting late, so this village is far away from the prefect's residence.

Shen Jintang smiled when he heard this and said hello.

"Indigo and Poria, you must take good care of these grains."

Shen Jintang said to them.

On the other side, Gu Baiyi also arranged for the soldiers and generals to be careful about the food.

The two got on the horse.

Galloping all the way.

When they arrived at the mansion, they got off their horses one after another.

Immediately, servants came to take their horses and tie them to the pillars.

Shen Jintang took Gu Baiyi straight to the pharmacy in her yard.

The pharmacy is filled with bottles and jars, all of which are the medicines Shen Jintang has been making these days.

Shen Jintang found a backpack specially made by her and put all the bottles and jars of wound medicine in it.

Gu Baiyi didn't expect that she would make so many wound medicines and a strange-looking backpack.

At this time, people used bags or boxes to carry things.

This was the first time he had seen this kind of backpack.

After Shen Jintang put all the bottles and jars of wound medicine into his backpack, he handed the backpack directly to Gu Baiyi.

Shen Jintang: "Brother Gu, just carry it on your back. It will be more convenient for you to ride a horse."

Gu Baiyi fiddled with it twice before finally figuring out how to memorize it.

After putting on his backpack, he looked at Shen Jintang and said with a smile: "Sister Jintang, I know you must have put a lot of thought and effort into making these medicines, and I will report it to the emperor's grandfather truthfully."

Shen Jintang smiled and said to him: "Let's go."

Gu Baiyi said: "It's already dark. I can go by myself. Sister Jintang, please stay."

When Shen Jintang heard this, he smiled and nodded.

As for Qingdai and the others, they will definitely come back by carriage when Gu Baiyi leaves.

Now in Qingzhou, Shen Jintang not only has a medical clinic, but also a shop specializing in selling silk quilts, a shop specializing in selling silk brocade, and a shop selling silkworm chrysalises.

The business of these shops is very good.

What Shen Jintang needs most now is money and food.

After Qingdai and the others returned, the sky was completely dark.

Just as he was about to take a rest, someone suddenly beat the drum at the door of the government office to express grievances.

Shen Mu had already undressed and gone to bed. After hearing the report, he quickly put on his clothes again.

When I arrived at the government office, kneeling in the hall was a haggard woman with tears on her face.

"Who is in the hall? Why are you playing drums late at night?" Shen Mu slapped the crowd and looked at the woman in the hall and asked.

"Sir, I want to sue Dr. Shen of Huichun Hall. Her medical skills are not good and she cares about human life." The woman said with tears in her eyes.

Dr. Shen from Huichun Hall?

Isn’t that Tang’er?

Shen Mu was excited when he heard this.

"Tell me more carefully, how did Dr. Shen of Huichun Hall take human life so seriously?" Shen Mu asked seriously.

He knew Tang'er's medical skills, how could he kill someone?

Moreover, Tanger has been practicing medicine for so long that she has never had this kind of problem.

I think Tang'er saved him when he was poisoned by Shen Yukang and his wife in Sanhe Village, and the victims who were poisoned in Yichang County.

How can people die now because of poor medical skills?

To be honest, Shen Mu didn't quite believe it.

But Shen Jintang is his daughter, and Shen Mu can't say anything questioning.

Otherwise, it will appear to be biased towards Shen Jintang.
