Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 359
The bright moon hung high, and the moonlight elongated the three horses and the figures pacing back and forth.

Yunlai City is ten feet high, and the torches illuminate the small squad of soldiers who patrol on regular shifts.

A group of cavalry came running from a distance, and the sound of horseshoes and shouts woke up the soldiers who were dozing under the city wall.

"Quick, open the city gate for me!"

The soldiers on the city wall were startled, and all of them opened their eyes wide and poked their heads out to look at the street. After seeing clearly the crimson robe with the collar of the third-rank military officer regiment, they rushed down the tower and opened the city gate.

The heavy door opened slowly, making a dull creaking sound.

Commander He Zonghui rushed out from the half-open city gate with two acquaintances and six personal soldiers.

Jing Yunyan didn't have time to greet him politely, so he shook the reins and rode his horse straight to the city gate.

"Wait for me to settle down with my family, relatives and friends, and I will go to the governor's office to discuss matters later!"

He Zonghui straightened his black gauze hat and was about to get off his horse when his outstretched hand froze in mid-air, "Jing Yu."

After wiping his tired face, he waved his hand, "Go back to the city!"

The horse's head turned around, dust was flying, and the city gate that hadn't been fully opened slowly closed again.

The Rejuvenation Hall in Yunlai City is brightly lit, and people come and go from the front hall and the backyard.

The sound of footsteps, voices, the sound of carrying medicinal materials, and the sound of crushing and cutting medicine are intertwined.

Noisy but not at all chaotic.

"Young master! Young lady"

Jing Yunyan reined in the horse immediately, Shu Yingtong got off the horse, and immediately a familiar face rushed out to say hello.

Outside, all the disciples of Qinglan Villa called Jing Yunyan the Young Master.

"Master Xue." Shu Yingtong nodded in return.

Shopkeeper Xue is in his early forties, with a three-inch goatee, simple and elegant clothes, and an imposing manner. The elegant and easy-going temperament exuded from his bones is not at all like a businessman.

"I just arrived yesterday with a shipment of medicinal materials. I didn't expect the Young Master and the Young Madam to arrive so quickly." Shopkeeper Xue's eyes were clear, the corners of his mouth raised just right, and he turned around and cupped his hands towards Zhou Chi and the others.

"Leader Zhou Fen, Young Master Yu, Miss Yu, you all have worked hard all the way, Huichun Hall is very grateful!"

Huichuntang, as the eyes of Qinglan Villa, knows the court officials well, and is no stranger to the famous celebrities in the world.

Accompanying the young master to the southwest at such a time, the deep friendship in it is naturally to be thanked.

"Eh? You recognized me so casually?" Yu Linglong yawned, sleepy and tired, and managed to gather her energy to return the salute.

Since her name is called out, she represents the Misty Rain Building.

"I haven't eaten yet, just put some food on the table and talk while eating. I have to go to the chief secretary's yamen later." Jing Yunyan threw the reins to the young man who came up to greet him, and led Shu Yingtong inside.

Jing Yunyan visited the Huichun Hall once a year, and many local handymen did not recognize him. When they saw other people saying hello, they greeted him generously.

The conference hall is generally used for receiving guests. As soon as a few people are seated, a waiter will bring a pot of tea, pour the tea for a round, and then retreat outside the door to guard.

Discussions involving many secrets, idlers, etc. are not allowed to approach.

"Uncle Xue, the matter of the epidemic is of course important, but you should also cherish your own body."

Jing Yunyan looked at shopkeeper Xue's bloodshot eyes and gray face and knew that he hadn't closed his eyes for at least three days.

"Alas, there was too much shortage of medicinal materials a few days ago, even if we sent people out to collect them, it would be too late. I really can't sleep, so I might as well do something, otherwise I'm really anxious."

Shopkeeper Xue rubbed the center of his brows, looking downcast.

Collecting herbs is not something that can be found in the mountains.

Some medicinal materials are annual herbaceous plants. Before the harvest season, we can only look at the seedlings and sigh.

Some have specific requirements for growing regions, but there are none in the southwest.

Plague broke out in many places, and the medicinal materials stored in Huichuntang in other cities were of their own use, and they had to wait for the old or young owners to allocate them in a unified manner.

It took a lot of time to go back and forth, and he was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

Although the medicinal materials have come, the situation is still not optimistic, and the dead will not be resurrected.

"How many stewards and disciples have come?"

"The old man only wrote to the five rejuvenation halls in the two neighboring provinces, which are relatively remote and quiet, to ask for help. About 80 to [-] people have arrived in the affected areas. Now we are still waiting for the disciples from the villa to help us. The situation is urgent."

"Uncle Xue, Young Madam has good recipes and strategies to fight the epidemic. This smallpox is controllable and curable, and she will discuss it with you in detail later."

Jing Yunyan's face was heavy and his brows were furrowed, "Why did the people outside the city riot? Is it because of food shortage?"

"Exactly." Shopkeeper Xue had a sad face, and heaved a long sigh, "The southwestern border is frequently harassed by other countries on a small scale, so to prepare for war, you have to prepare food, grass and weapons first. After the grain is requisitioned, the people will suffer even more."

He pinched the lid of the teacup and looked at Shu Yingtong steadily, "We are facing various difficulties in the Southwest, and I am afraid it will be difficult to boost the morale of the army. If the young lady really has a good plan, it will be a good fortune for the Southwest!"

He had only met Shu Yingtong once, but she was calm and calm in her gestures, and her arrogance that disregarded everything left a deep impression on him.

Huanshan Village is also the most special village he has ever seen.

Only such a person is good enough to match the Young Master.

He is a disciple of Qinglan Villa, who has stayed in Yunlai City for more than ten years, and has long regarded this place as his second hometown.

I have different feelings for the city and people here.

The meals came quickly, the noodles made of Zamian noodles were overcooked, and the dishes consisted of several seasonal vegetables and meat sauce.

A few people are not picky, and they are not allowed to be picky at this special time.

Shopkeeper Xue asked people to arrange rooms and showers. The whole group was full of travel and dust, and Jing Yunyan had to go to see officials, at least to maintain the most basic decency.

It was late at night, Shu Yingtong asked the other three to rest, and invited shopkeeper Xue to discuss matters secretly.

There were only four people in the large meeting room, and Shu Yingtong brought a burden, and the clear and clear sound of glass bottles being bumped could be heard endlessly.

"It's called the vaccinia vaccine. It only needs to be vaccinated once, and you will be protected from smallpox for life."

"There is such a magical thing..." Shopkeeper Xue and other stewards were amazed, and they took a bottle and looked at it carefully.

Shu Yingtong didn't have time to explain the medical knowledge that vaccinia virus and smallpox virus have the same antigenicity, but only said that it was a folk prescription that she learned by chance, and that it had a miraculous effect in her own village.

"These are the entire set of regulations to deal with the plague compiled on the road, not just smallpox, but any infectious disease."

She took out four proposals, one for each person.

When there were many details on board, she and Jing Yunyan carefully considered and deliberated before finalizing them.

This is the most perfect plan in line with the characteristics of this dynasty.

As if they had found a treasure, several people hungrily reviewed it one by one, the shock on their faces was beyond words.

"Good! Good! Great strategy, great strategy!" Shopkeeper Xue was very excited, "I will send people to guard the ferry tomorrow! It is not easy to cultivate disciples in the village. Although death is as light as a feather and as heavy as Mount Tai, I really don't care Hope to lose one person!"

Shu Yingtong propped her head and pressed her temples quietly with her fingers, "Well, let everyone in Huichun Hall get vaccinated, take pills, and buy face masks immediately."

She and Ah Yan worked so hard to come here to cut off the possibility of infection before the arrival of the brigade.

It is really painful to sacrifice without hesitation in order to cure the epidemic.

Fortunately, there is still time.
