Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 565: The Great Victory at the Yumen Gate (2)
He Jingyan fell into deep thought, and said loudly for a long time: "Come here, call all the officials to the main courtyard hall of the palace immediately."

Li Jingjing was talking with Li Yunxiao when a servant came and said that it was He Jingyan who asked Li Yunxiao to discuss important matters in the hall of the main courtyard.

Li Yunxiao got up and said: "Sister, you asked me a lot of questions just now, and you also gave me some good suggestions. Why don't you go to the main courtyard with me, we discuss in the hall, and you listen in the side hall."

As the princess protecting the country, Li Jingjing's involvement in politics does not violate court regulations, so she will follow immediately.

Soon, the main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion was filled with stern-faced Jincheng officials in official robes. Except for a few officials who were ordered to go to other counties and townships to do business, the rest of them all arrived.

All the officials saw that He Jingyan's expression was unusually solemn and even sad, and they didn't know what happened, so they all dared not speak out.

He Jingyan explained the contents of the imperial court's letter, and then, under the expressions of astonishment and unbelievable rapid response of the imperial court, all the officials discussed how to resettle the Tianshui disaster victims in the fief.

Sitting in the side hall, Li Jingjing learned that the Tianshui earthquake was very serious. The number of dead and missing people known so far is 7% of the Tianshui earthquake in the Shunzhi period of the previous Qing Dynasty. The magnitude of the earthquake is almost between 8 and [-] on the Richter scale.

Among the medicines she sent were hemostatic powder, antipyretic powder, anti-aging powder, pain-relieving and blood-activating ointment, etc., which amounted to four thousand catties. Two capsules of Minghui Qishen Pills.

She said to herself: "Those medicines should have been sent to the victims by the soldiers of the Huben Army. I don't know if the officials in Tianshui will follow what I said to prevent and control the epidemic."

Half an hour later, most of the officials in the hall dispersed, only a few were still discussing important matters with He Jingyan, and when they saw her coming, they all saluted.

These people are all familiar to Li Jingjing, so she came over and sat down to make some suggestions, saying: "My lord, our fief is short of people, this time we have to find a way to keep all the disaster victims to settle down and increase the population."

Ma's elder brother said: "Princess, the prince has just decided to provide houses, land, and agricultural tools to the victims."

"These other cities can also provide it." Li Jingjing had already thought about everything just now, and said: "The first thing is to solve the household registration, let them become the people of the fief, and have a sense of belonging, and then provide what the prince said just now, plus Interest-free loans, free schooling for children aged six to 11."

He Jingyan looked around at the few people, and said, "The princess mentioned the interest-free loan and the free school before I mentioned it to you all."

Qin Er served as the county magistrate in Liuyang County for several years, and later served as an official in the Governor's Mansion of Hunan Province for several years. As long as you enter our fief, you will definitely not leave."

Wang Haoran said: "My lord, princess, these officials in the world have roughly calculated that the money required for interest-free loans and free schools is as high as more than 100 million taels. If you add the resettlement of the victims, it will reach 200 million taels of silver!"

Before the completion of Jincheng Academy, Wang Haoran was very gifted in business, and temporarily served as an accounting officer who managed the entire fief.

These days, He Jingyan has already spent more than [-] taels of silver, which is equivalent to more than one year's business taxes on the Silk Road of the three fiefdoms.

As an official in charge of money, he must remind He Jingyan and Li Jingjing.

When He Jingyan received Li Jingjing's acquiescent look, he felt reassured, and said, "Hao Ran, don't worry about the money."

Li Jingjing continued: "We have set up a temporary medical station at the junction of Jincheng and Dingxi. All the people who come from the disaster area must go through an inspection. Only those who have no disease can enter, and those who have the disease can only be released after being cured."

Among the officials present, the oldest are Ma's elder brother and second elder brother. They have been officials for many years, but because they have no experience in receiving disaster victims, they did not think of this.

He Jingyan nodded and said: "It's almost summer now, the weather is getting hotter, and the death toll in the earthquake zone is too high. The officers and soldiers have no time to incinerate, which is the most likely to cause a large-scale epidemic. The victims of the epidemic must not be allowed to enter the fief."

All the officials looked at each other and said in unison: "Epidemic prevention is the most important thing to accept the victims this time."

Li Jingjing said solemnly: "Leave this matter to me."

Li Yunxiao proudly said to several officials: "My sister is the great pharmacist, the God of Medicine, and she is very skilled in medicine."

He Jingyan patted his second brother-in-law on the shoulder, and said in agreement: "It's best not for the lady to handle this matter."

Li Jingjing said: "I am going to send He Ping, Zifeng, and Guang Mingzi to lead the Taiyuan Hospital to send doctors to the Jincheng branch." He also said: "He Ping and Zifeng's medical skills are very good. My senior brother Guang Mingzi once treated epidemic diseases in disaster areas. The experience of the patients. Hosting this matter by them should be more effective.”

Several officials, including Li Yunxiao, had been assigned tasks just now, so they stepped back to work.

He Jingyan went to the study to write a letter to the court to report the practice of welcoming the victims.Li Jingjing went to the pharmacy.

In a large village with a simple and unpretentious appearance at the foot of Baita Mountain on the banks of the Yellow River in the outskirts of Jincheng, people from the Yun family branch have learned from the message sent by Jincheng officials that the Tianshui earthquake, the old patriarch of the family, and the old patriarch’s wife passed away. Bad news of serious casualties.

In the ancestral hall, several respected elders from the branch presided over the meeting. All the people including the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law on the family tree were present, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing and sad.

"In the past, when the earth dragon turned over in the local city, it didn't spread to Chang'an within ten days and half a month. This time, it was reported to the imperial court in half a day, and to Jincheng in a day."

"Right now, we are not talking about the court's good ears and clairvoyance, but how to save our family!"

The reason why the branch of the Yun family can walk sideways in Jincheng, and even influence every important decision of the local officials, is entirely due to the strong support of the family.

They deeply know that if the main family is over this time, the glory and wealth of the branch will be gone forever.

"The governor of Long Dao is dead, and Tianshui Mansion must be in chaos. The Tianshui garrison is a bunch of waste, waiting for them to save their own people, the cucumbers and vegetables are cold."

"The Jincheng garrison is not much stronger than the Tianshui garrison, otherwise the horse bandits are rampant for hundreds of miles around Jincheng?"

"The most powerful army in Longdi is the Tiger Ben Army. The number of King Yan's Tiger Ben Army is matched with two horses. It is four hundred miles to Tianshui City, and the Tiger Ben Army can reach Tianshui City Mansion in a day on the fast horses of the Xiongnu. "

"In less than a month after King Yan arrived in the fiefdom, he beheaded dozens of officials, four of whom were our relatives."

"My father was killed by King Yan, and his body was buried less than ten days ago!"

"My second brother died at the hands of King Yan."

The howls of more than a dozen people drifted away in the ancestral hall, making the hearts of those present even more heavy.
