Chapter 288: Too poor to wear pants

After Qiao Qi's introduction, Li Min learned that Qiao Qi's eldest daughter was named Qiao Qiqi. She was fourteen years old and had already told her husband's family.

If it hadn't been for this strange disease and this place was sealed off, she would have been married by now.

My son, Qiao Baiguan, is seven years old this year.

The youngest daughter is less than two years old, and she just made the mistake of saying her name is Erya.

Next, Li Min looked at Qiao Qi's neck carefully and asked some more questions.

Then, he performed a diagnosis on Qiao Qi’s mother-in-law, Qiao He.

Qiao He was only wearing a linen garment, which looked like Qiao Qi's clothes.

In order for Li Min to see the symptoms of his neck clearly, Qiao He unbuttoned it.

Then, Li Min saw a pair of huge white beetles.

It's really amazingly plump.

I didn't expect that such a thin body would have such big breasts.

However, an upright person like Li Min, who has escaped from vulgar taste, will naturally not look at others.

After careful inspection, Li Min came to a conclusion.

Qiao Qi couldn't help but asked nervously: "Your Highness, can our disease be cured?"

Not only Qiao Qi was nervous, but Qiao Qi's mother-in-law and two children also looked at Li Min extremely nervously.

Li Min smiled slightly and said to them: "Your disease, called big neck disease, is actually caused by the lack of iodine in your usual diet. As long as you eat more iodine-containing foods, you can recover in a few months.

normal."

Big neck disease is caused by iodine deficiency.

As long as it is not particularly serious, as long as you supplement enough iodine regularly, you can gradually return to normal.

Of course, if the symptoms are particularly severe, special treatment will be needed.

However, the condition of Qiao Qi and his wife was not that bad.

Hearing Li Min's words, Qiao Qi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked nervously: "Your Highness, what kind of food do you think we should eat that contains iodine? What exactly should we eat? Our family is poor and we cannot afford to eat anything too expensive."

Li Min couldn't help but say: "Foods containing iodine, such as kelp, seaweed, eggs, milk, etc., all contain iodine. Such as fruits, cherries, oranges, bananas, and spinach and celery."

After listening to Li Min's words, Qiao Qi couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, is it only found in these foods? Is it not found in rice or wheat?"

Li Min couldn't help but asked in confusion: "I know that your family is poor, but you can't even afford spinach and celery, right?"

Qiao Qi said helplessly: "Your Highness, but at this time, spinach and celery have not been planted yet! Where can we eat them? The foods you mentioned are only available in eggs. But where can we eat them?

Get up!"

This is inland, so kelp and seaweed are not available.

For example, oranges, bananas, and cherries are not available this season.

As for celery and spinach, in this era without greenhouse cultivation, they would not be available in this season.

This is a difficult question!

After thinking for a long time, Li Min couldn't help but said to Qiao Qi: "Let's do this. I will figure out a solution for the food problem."

Qiao Qi said nonchalantly: "But, but I can't afford it at all!"

Li Min couldn't help but said speechlessly: "Don't worry, the court will provide this money."

After walking out of Qiao Qi's house, Li Min checked more than 200 households in the entire village.

In the village, almost every household has patients.

Fortunately, there are no particularly serious patients.

As long as you pay attention to supplementing iodine in the future, you will gradually be cured.

However, the poverty in this village also gave Li Min a shocking feeling.

The situation of almost every family in this village is similar to that of Qiao Qi's family.

There are actually forty or fifty families who are so poor that they can't even afford to wear pants.

Especially those families with many girls at home, because there are few rooms and no partitions.

As soon as you walk into their room, you can see two or three girls sitting on the bed, covered with quilts.

When I see outsiders, my face turns red and I dare not look at them at all.

When Li Min treated them, they were even more shy.

Because of poverty, they can't even afford eggs to supplement their iodine supply.

Because it is a dietary supplement, you need to take it every day.

If you only eat it once in a while, then there's no problem.

But if they eat it every day, they simply can’t afford it.

Therefore, even if it is a dietary supplement, Li Min is still needed to solve this problem.

In fact, when it comes to dietary supplements, eggs are not the best choice.

Because the iodine content of eggs is not high.

The food with the highest iodine content is seafood.

Such as kelp, seaweed, jellyfish, etc.



Walking around the more than 200 houses in Xiaohe Village, it was already dark.

But they didn't have the conditions to stay overnight in Xiaohe Village. There were no extra beds for them in the village.

Li Min and his party had no choice but to discredit and return.

By the time they came back, it was already midnight.

At noon the next day, Li Min got up from the bed.

After getting up, Li Min couldn't help but go to the government office, and then ordered someone to invite Lin Jie, the governor.

Not long after, Lin Jie rushed over.

"Grand Governor, do you have any orders?"

Li Min pointed to the Zhenguan chair and said to Lin Jie: "Prince Lin, sit down and talk."

After Lin Jue sat down, Li Min couldn't help but said: "President Lin, it's like this. The villagers in Xiaohe Village are not suffering from the plague, but a disease called big neck disease. And this disease only needs to be supplemented

With enough iodine, it can be cured."

"The foods containing the most iodine are kelp and seaweed. These two seafood products can be found in coastal areas. I just want to ask, are there any merchants in Yizhou who lead to Lingnan Road?"

Along the coast of Yeongnam Province, as long as there are merchants, you can buy kelp.

Of course, Li Min can also be purchased through the mall.

But for people in a village, it takes more than half a year to treat big neck disease and take regular meals.

How much kelp do I need to buy?

Li Min couldn't even afford this money.

Hearing Li Min's words, Lin Zhen couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the largest businessman on the road from Yizhou to Lingnan is the Zhao family."

Um?

Zhao family?

Li Min couldn't help but ask Lin Jie: "But outside Xiaohe Village, the Zhao family encouraged the villagers to set fire to the village?"

Lin Jie smiled bitterly and said, "It's the Zhao family!"

After pondering for a moment, Li Min couldn't help but said to Lin Jue: "In this case, you can order someone to send a message and ask the head of the Zhao family to call me tomorrow."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I will take care of it now."

After leaving, Lin Jie couldn't help but have a sneer on his face.

This King of Shu is probably used to staying in Chang'an City, so he doesn't understand the tricks below, right?

Do you think that just because you are the governor, you can instigate the Zhao family?

Humph! I’m afraid you’re overthinking it, right?
