Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Chapter 296 Remembering History

If we talk about the Lingdong Road in the past, there may have been a situation where each state cared about the state. Then in the Lingdong Road after the disaster, not only Dengzhou, Zhaozhou, and Yunzhou, but also the other states are quite united.

The Zhaozhou plague not only made many people panic, but also made people worried.

The phrase "save hometown" can reflect the mood of this group of Dengzhou men. Saving Zhaozhou means saving themselves, Lingdong, and their hometown.

Moreover, although there were some nasties in the court and the people after the disaster, although it is impossible to cover everything, it is just as Chu Hang wrote in the article late at night.

Faith is the most important thing in times of disaster!

Whether it is instigated by the government or self-perceived by the people, there are both human struggles and myths and wonders, all of which represent the struggle of Lingdong.

Now all the people in Lingdong are confident to overcome the difficulties, which is also the confidence that Chu Hang can say that "man can conquer nature".

The dry food brought by the "trackers" has been eaten up, but along the way, officials and even people from the county continue to come to support them, either bringing food or tea, and some even directly join the team to help the trackers, leaving some people who are weak. Get some rest.

Before the fleet reached Zhaozhou, more people in Zhaozhou came after hearing the news, and the magistrate and county lieutenant of Tianyu County in Zhaozhou came in person.

So much so that Chu Hang had to come forward to persuade some people to go back. After all, there were too many people and the two sides of the river could not move. Many Dengzhou men who were far away from home were also persuaded to go back, and then more and more Zhaozhou people. Take their place.

For four days and five nights, seventeen large merchant ships loaded with cargo that had been stranded outside Dengzhou were carried to Zhaozhou on the shoulders of Lingdong elders.

It was really a day and night journey these past few days, with people constantly being replaced and followed, and the ships almost never stopped.

The boatmen on the ship were very tired, but they knew they had no right to complain.

And as the team grew, from the beginning they were towed one by one, to two or three boats later, in an orderly manner!

Before dawn, lanterns were hung on seventeen large ships, and a long line of lights followed along the coast. The sound of trumpets continued one after another below.

"Hey yo~hey yo~hey yo"

"Work harder, hoo, we'll be out of this shoal soon——"

Chu Hang was at the front of the team, shouting with a hoarse voice. At this moment, he no longer had a rope, and there were already blood marks on his shoulders.

"Listen to Mr. Chu, we are almost there, work harder——"

"Hey yo~hey yo~hey yo"

Most of the "trackers" in the team have been replaced by Zhaozhou people, but they still work together, obey orders, and have the same confidence.

Just thinking that these dozens of large ships are loaded with life-saving things, and just thinking of such a huge number, everyone seems to have endless strength. The more the ship sinks, the more excited people become!

Tan Yuanshang had already returned to the boat. He had also gone down to try to help with slimming, but it didn't take long for blisters to appear on his delicate palms.

It was another sleepless night, not only because of the constant sound of chants, but also because Tan Yuanchang became increasingly excited, because judging from the terrain, Zhaozhou City was about to arrive.

It was the darkest moment before dawn. Tan Yuanshang looked at the front of the long team of trackers, as if he could see the Lingdong disaster relief commander.

Others can take the place of rest, but no one can take the place of Lord Sima. In his own words, something could happen to him just a moment away.

Four days and five nights, never a wink of sleep!

Tan Yuanshang feels that after this incident is over, he must go to the palace to face the Holy Spirit when he returns to the capital. It is so unreasonable that such a person is just a Sima promoted temporarily by Li Qian!

Those who are the number one scholar in the academic field and the top three in the palace all write gorgeous and beautiful articles, but which one can shoulder this burden and be worthy of such a thing?

"Clark la la la."

Amidst the creaking of ropes and timbers, the ship's hull swayed slightly.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

There was a burst of mud rolling under the water, and the sound of bubbles was heard endlessly. This meant that it was dragged out of the shoal again. There was deep water for twenty miles ahead, and it could reach directly outside Zhaozhou City.

"Drag it out—drag it out—"

"Hurry up and help the people behind!"

"Go, go, go harder!"

One by one, large ships broke away from the last shallow water channel, formed a fleet again, and reached the deep water area of ​​Datong River.

When the last boat was pulled out, both sides of the river were filled with cheers, as if a battle had been won. The boatmen on the fleet also cheered together, and everyone was infected by the crowd's emotions.

The fleet continued to move forward, followed by countless people on both sides of the strait.

A white belly appeared on the horizon, and the light of dawn gradually illuminated the earth.

The crowd was blocked by the checkpoint set up by Zhaozhou City, because the front was the plague area and ordinary people were not allowed to enter. Everyone was outside the checkpoint and watched the fleet go away on both sides of the river.——

In Zhaozhou City, news of the impending arrival of the fleet has spread throughout the city. Everyone knows that as long as the fleet arrives, there will no longer be a shortage of medicinal materials!

A large number of people had already gathered on the dock near the river outside the city, all looking eagerly in the direction of the river.

Zhaozhou Zhizhou and Yi Shuyuan were at the front of the crowd, and there were at least a thousand people talking at the dock.

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"Here it comes!" "Where is it?"

"Over there, on the river!"

"It's coming, it's really coming!"

“The fleet is coming, the medicine is coming—” “The medicine is coming!”

The crowd became commotion and looked into the distance with an increasingly excited mood. The large merchant ships brought the hope of continuation of life.

The ships are larger than people imagined. The number of seventeen ships seems to stretch for a long time. You can imagine how much cargo is loaded on them!

"Great, great! Zhaozhou City can be saved!"

Zhaozhou Zhizhou's fat chin couldn't help but tremble with excitement, and he couldn't help but say "good" repeatedly.

"Mr. Yi, if there are so many medicines, the epidemic should be cured, right?"

Yi Shuyuan let out a sigh of relief.

"It can save many, many people!"

As the ship slowly approached, Tan Yuanshang searched for the crowd on the dock on the deck of the first large ship, and soon found Yi Shuyuan, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

When the big ship was fixing the gangplank, the crowds on the dock also moved away. Under the assignment of official officials, they went to each ship that was gradually docking, and they would unload the cargo on board as quickly as possible.

Tan Yuanshang was the first to get off the boat and hurried to the dock. He ignored Zhaozhou Zhizhou, who was about to step forward, and went directly to Yi Shuyuan. He held his hands in greeting before anyone came close.

"Mr. Yi, after so many years of separation, Tan is relieved to see that Mr. Yi is fine! The Emperor has been thinking about you, and you are finally willing to come out!"

Zhaozhou Zhizhou on the side paused and his heart skipped a beat. Good guy, I thought he was just a doctor with superb medical skills, but I didn't expect him to be a hermit.

Yi Shuyuan returned a salute to Tan Yuanchang.

"It's been a long time since Mr. Tan. Yi is just a storyteller with a little knowledge of medical skills. He just helps out during disasters. Now it's more important to save people!"

Tan Yuanshang dared to come to Zhaozhou City in person, and Yi Shuyuan also admired him more. After all, Tan Yuanshang was truly wealthy and could rival the country, and there was no need to risk his life.

Moreover, Tan Yuanshang may not ask the court for money for these seventeen ships of life-saving cargo, or there is a high probability that they will be given as gifts.

Zhaozhou Zhizhou on the side hurriedly spoke to him.

"Yes, yes, it's important to save people, Mr. Tan, I'm in Xia Zhaozhou, Zhizhou Wanshixing!"

Tan Yuanchang, who frowned slightly after hearing Yi Shuyuan's words, turned to Zhizhou and saluted.

"Oh, Lord Wan, Tan Yuanshang is so polite!"

Of course not all of the seventeen large ships were loaded with medicines, but they definitely accounted for the majority.

As people carried sacks of medicinal herbs off the boat, bursts of scent of medicinal herbs filled the entire pier and gradually extended into the city.

Just by taking a whiff, Yi Shuyuan understood that most of these medicinal materials were by no means fake.

In today's situation where the whole Dayong medicinal materials are very tight, God knows what methods Tan Yuanshang used and what price he paid to get so many life-saving things.

Tan Yuanshang couldn't help but sigh when he saw Yi Shuyuan staring at the passing sack of medicinal materials.

"Sometimes, there are things that are not easy for the court to do. Businessmen naturally have their own ways. There are also many people who have the desire to serve the country but are inconvenient and dare not contact the government directly. Many people have no desire to serve the country at the beginning. So I hoarded some things, but gradually I started to regret it, and these people would come to me privately!"

Yi Shuyuan looked at the medicinal materials temporarily piled on the dock and nodded slightly.

"The Lingdong disaster was a battle. To a certain extent, it gradually united the scattered people's hearts. Some people praised it and some criticized it, but it is undeniable that everyone in the world saw the court's determination to provide disaster relief."

"What you said is true!"

——

Tan Yuanshang and the people in the fleet were not able to enter Zhaozhou City immediately.

The advice given by Yi Shuyuan and local officials was to stay on the ship for three days. During these three days, everyone should drink the "curing screen soup" prepared with newly obtained medicinal materials.

One bowl each in the morning and evening for three days, after which the people on the boat can disembark.

Three days later in the morning, Tan Yuanshang went to the city early to find Yi Shuyuan and followed him all the time. He would go wherever Yi Shuyuan went.

Entering a large requisitioned inn, there was a strong smell of medicine.

"Cough cough cough" "Cough cough."

There was a faint sound of coughing both inside and outside the guest rooms in the inn. Yi Shuyuan walked on the corridor and opened a door. Not only did there smell of medicine, there was also a faint odor that could not be eliminated even if the window inside was open. .

Tan Yuanshang and the accompanying guards subconsciously covered their mouths and noses and stood outside the door without entering.

"How are you, how do you feel?"

"Cough cough cough bah."

The patient inside was six men of different ages. The others were still lying down unable to answer. The person in question did not speak immediately, but coughed for a while and then spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm into the spittoon.

"Hey, I feel much better now, Doctor Yi. I feel much better now. Even my cough is stronger than the past few days."

"Well, how was your sleep tonight?"

Everyone here is seriously ill, but apparently some people have begun to improve significantly.

In the medical science of this world, the water from the spring well plus sufficient medicinal materials can greatly replenish the body's deficiency and strengthen the qi, stimulating the patient's vitality to counteract the disease.

Everyone in Zhaozhou City is now full of confidence, and confidence is also a powerful weapon against diseases!

Yi Shuyuan was communicating with the patient inside, but Tan Yuanshang noticed that there was a charm stuck on the door frame inside and outside the room.

The traces on this charm look a little scrawled, but you can make out a few words with many circles of red ink in the middle. There are vague words such as "The True Lord Revealed".

"I heard that the first person to report the news was Master Dayong?"

"Sir, do you think we have a heavenly master in Dayong?"

Tan Yuanshang glanced at the guard beside him.

"You don't know this. Decades ago, the late emperor did consecrate several heavenly masters. Although there are many deceivers among the warlocks, these few should have some abilities."

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan also came out. He seemed to have heard what was said outside and said something with a smile.

"The passing of decades may not seem like a long time, but it is the growth of several generations. It is enough to forget many things, but there will always be people who remember some people. Today, future generations should remember this history!"

Saying this, Yi Shuyuan looked at the door of the inn, his eyes seeming to drift into the distance.
