The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 181 Situation
Moreover, in these years, the Mu family's business has been smooth everywhere, all because of the secret management of the Rong family.

Don't say it's just a little money and food now, if you ask for it in the future, my grandfather should also help with the preparations.

"How much food and medicinal materials do we have in the warehouse?" Mu Wen asked.

"Counting the self-use of the mansion, there are 3000 shi of food, and about [-] catties of various medicinal materials."

Mu Wen thought for a while, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "Send [-] shi of food to the warlord for use, and send all the medicinal materials."

The housekeeper hesitated, "Aren't we going to keep any?"

"The madam still has some private storage, just leave enough for the family." Mu Wen said.

The housekeeper thought for a while, but he didn't try to persuade him any more, and went down to do some errands.

Before it was dark, An Xu, who was having dinner with Zong Che, heard a soldier named Yu Shui report at the door: "The Mu family sent [-] stones of grain and [-] catties of medicine. There are too many things, and the governor needs to send troops to go." Pick."

Twenty thousand stones of grain!
This is really rich and powerful.

The food provided by the Mu family is enough to feed the whole city for half a month.

An Xu didn't expect that these rich people really had something in their hands.

Zong Che didn't even lift his eyelids, and ordered: "Take someone to receive it."

After Yu Shui receded, An Xu asked Zong Che, "Do you want their things for nothing?"

Zong Che said with a smile: "It's not for nothing. When I have time, I will build a canal to the south of Huoliang City. When the time comes, the debt will be paid off. Whoever gives away more now will have a longer period of free entry to Hong Kong."

It's just that the authority to collect corvee is not all in the hands of the magistrate?

Zong Che smiled: "If Xia Yunfeng still wants to go up smoothly, he will listen to me."

At the same time, the great generosity of the Mu family also reached the ears of those who gathered to discuss with Mu Wen, and everyone scolded Mu Wen's insidiousness behind their backs.

This old boy coaxed us to only pay a little, and he handed over so much all at once, just to stand out from the crowd, right?
Ingratiate yourself with this new warlord, and speak ill of them in the future, so that the Mu family can dominate in Huoliang City?

No way.

On the second day, Zong Che ordered the soldiers to collect things, and the housekeepers from every household came and presented a stack of lists for the warlord to lead someone to pick them up.

There are not only food and medicinal materials on it, but also many treasures and playthings.

Even the Su family, which has always been known for being stingy, had to send out a thousand shi of grain and [-] jin of medicinal materials.

As soon as it became lively, the city, which was still panicked by the plague before, instantly returned to its previous appearance.

That night, the infected people who were trapped at home in the outer city and could not go out received ready-made red bean porridge and a bowl of soup.

It didn't look like they were going to be burned to death, and the terrified crowd fell silent.

On the street, every half an hour, there are people who cover their eyes and spray something for disinfection.

Order was about to be restored. Three days later, some people with fever and cough had symptoms of vomiting. Two thousand elite soldiers were sent out, but there were still not enough manpower in the outer city.

Zong Che wanted to recruit servants and servant girls from various families.

In order to save him from offending a few people, An Xu suggested that high wages be offered to attract people to take the initiative.

As long as you go to work in an outer city, you can spend [-] Wen a day.

As soon as the news came out, more than 200 people came to the Governor's Mansion to sign up that day.

Among them are not only servants from big families who are compared to the first floor, but also many people from the outer city who were not infected and were placed in the inner city.Some of them are for making money, and some are for being able to go out to see their relatives.

An Xu asked someone to make a detailed roster, and went to the outer city to find two residences, and arranged simple beds, chairs and benches. Those people could not go to the inner city at night, so they would rest in this place first.

The north wind blew up at night, and the temperature in the north was obviously going to cool down.

Once the temperature cools down, it is a paradise for viruses.

If the right medicine can't be found in a short time, I'm afraid it will really lead to a catastrophe this time.

An Xu heard the north wind howling outside getting tighter, and unconsciously grabbed Zong Che's collar and shrank into his arms.

Zong Che woke up, listened to her breathing, and asked, "Why don't you sleep at night?"

An Xu said, "It's time to cool down."

"Well," Zong Che stretched out his hand and patted her on the back, "It's already September, and there might be heavy snowfall overnight with the north wind."

----

In the morning, as soon as An Xu opened the door, the wind with small snowflakes rushed straight to the front door.

She turned her head abruptly to look at Zong Che who was coming from behind, who was straightening his collar.

"What's wrong?" He asked, putting his hand behind An Xu's waist.

An Xu pointed to the outside and said, "Sometimes your mouth really seems to have been opened."

Zong Che understood what she meant after a short sound, and said with a smile, "Thank you Madam for your compliment."

Breakfast was millet porridge with flower rolls and small pickles. The family was eating. Ma He hurried over, stopped at the door to inform, and then went in quickly.

"Master, eight people died in the outer city last night. In the barracks, more than [-] people have symptoms of fever and cough."

Zong Che frowned slightly, and asked, "You take some food out and tell Liu Demin to strictly guard the barracks."

After Ma He left, Zong Che finished his bowl of rice with a snort, and said to An Xu: "I heard from some local people that there is a miracle doctor who lives in a secluded rural mountain village in the west of the city. I will visit."

The right medicine must be found quickly.

But fortunately, the isolation measures proposed by Xu'er were adopted in time. After they entered the city, although there was a trend of increasing fever and population intermittently, it has stabilized in the past two days.

After Zong Che took a few people out of the city, An Xu, who had had breakfast, brought Yan Dial and Yan Zhun to the courtyard where she and Zong Che lived.

The sky was gloomy, and when Zong Che came back with a dark face in the middle of the afternoon, there were also heavy snowflakes outside.

"No one was invited?" An Xu looked behind him, who was empty.

Zong Che turned around and sat down on the chair, calmed down his anger, and said, "What kind of magic doctor, I think it's all blown out by people. Send someone to visit Yuguan City in the west this afternoon."

There are also those doctors who are well-fed and well-fed, all of them rush out to see patients today, and no one wants to stay in the room and just read medical books to count as a job.

Partridge said outside: "Miss, there is a soldier named Chen Pingyuan in the army who wants to see you."

Chen Pingyuan was a centurion among the elite soldiers left by the second prince. After a few days of observation, An Xu knew that he was a general who cared about his feathers and cared about people's livelihood.

She glanced at Zong Che and said, "Please come in."

"General," Chen Pingyuan said as soon as he entered, "I know some things about Mi Mi's family, and I know why he is determined not to leave the mountain."

Up to now, the Second Prince's soldiers still don't call Zong Che "Overseer".It seems that he is not willing to admit his identity at all.

But neither Zong Che nor An Xu can care about such trivial matters now.

Zong Che raised his eyebrows, making it unclear what his attitude towards Miracle Doctor Mi was.

Chen Pingyuan had no choice but to continue: "A few years ago, Miracle Doctor Mi was wronged when he healed a wealthy household in the city, so he vowed never to enter Huoliang City again."

"Understood." Zong Che nodded.

Chen Pingyuan couldn't wait for the next sentence, and said: "General, why don't you help him avenge his grievances, and then he should be more confident in inviting people to come out of the mountain."

Zong Che said, "Go down."

Chen Pingyuan paused, turned around and left.

An Xu looked at Zong Che, and Zong Che said, "I'm not the kind of person who would bow down and be humble. Besides, the skills of Mi Miracle Doctor are only rumored among the people, and they may not have real skills. In front of the military doctors and the doctors in the city, I Put pressure first."

If it really doesn't work, just arrest that miraculous doctor.

If he is also infected with this plague, how can he not devote himself to researching the prescription for the disease?

An Xu didn't expect Zong Che to think so, and said, "Alright, let's go and see what the doctors have to say first."

Another two days passed, and another seventy or eighty dead bodies were carried out from the infected people outside the city.

At this time, even the inner city was panicked.

At noon, when An Xu was cooking, he heard that Zong Che had killed those doctors. If he couldn't find a cure within two days, he would go to the outer city to live with the infected people.

She felt that Zong Che was just trying to scare people. For people who have no medical skills at all, they can only be anxious when encountering such a major epidemic.

But An Xu has lived in the 21st century where the information is exploding. She knows some of the more powerful magic drugs, such as penicillin, norfloxacin, and these antibacterial drugs.

Although the abuse of antibiotics is harmful, but when technology and medicine have not developed to a certain level, these drugs can really be called magic drugs.

An Xu knew the local method of extracting these two medicines, and he really did some of them in the past two days. He didn't know if it would be useful for this epidemic.

They are, after all, antiseptics for inflammation.

I heard that those people would vomit and have diarrhea, and finally collapsed to death. An Xu felt that the power of the disease was not that great, so it might not be impossible to try these two medicines.

Be careful with penicillin, because some people are allergic to it.

Zong Che was relatively busy these two days, but he never ate out. He came back on time at noon this day, but he told An Xu that he had the idea of ​​letting An Xu go out of the city at night.

An Xu asked, "Hasn't the situation in the city been roughly under control in the past two days?"

Although there were more deaths, those people were more emotionally stable than in the first two days when deaths began to appear.

The doctor said that as long as the body is strong, the chances of surviving it are greater.

Therefore, many people now try their best to eat and drink to make themselves stronger, although they can't eat much when they are ill.

Zong Che shook his head: "It's not inside the city, it's outside the city."

What happened outside the city?
"Today, a lot of people crawled to the bottom of the city without ghosts or ghosts," Zong Che said, and his face became even more ugly. "Outside the south gate, they all came from Jiping City. I asked, and Jiping City sank." The magistrate, died of illness a few days ago."

The current Jiping City is a veritable dead city.

An Xu was a little unbelievable: "Then there is no news at all."

Zong Che sneered and said, "People in the local area are afraid of taking responsibility. Didn't the news of the flooding of Jiping City only be seen in the mansion newspaper two days ago?"

The court's reaction was too slow.

An Xu said: "Then I can't go out of the city anymore, it might be even more dangerous outside."

Zong Che looked at her, feeling a little regretful, maybe he shouldn't have brought her to the north by force, and even tried to walk up the ladder to heaven.

He put his hand on the back of her head, rubbed it, and his heart softened.

Zong Che has always had a clear understanding of himself. He is not a good person, and he has almost no bottom line. He is extremely ambitious. He was ambitious when he was not an official in his early years. He never thought that one day, he would regret it.
