After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 154: The county magistrate is busy inspecting the fields, and Ding Lin's proposal is al

"My lord, it's getting dark now. It's time to go back."

"Well, go back."

In the northern part of Lan County, the river channel is narrow and the rice fields are small. After the beginning of spring this year, Li Xingjian summoned the yamen runners and nearby people to repair the river intermittently for three months. Originally, he wanted to start the work in winter, but unexpectedly, a serious disease swept the county. With the arrival of spring, the people were busy with spring plowing and resuming production, so they could only squeeze time to improve the river channel. Some people were concerned about their own fields and often sneaked back. Li Xingjian had no choice. It was not the right time to serve, and he could not really punish the people for disobeying government orders. They had suffered enough. Now it is the beginning of summer, the water volume of the river has increased, and the renovation has stopped.

Listening to the sound of flowing water and the croaking of frogs in the fields, Li Xingjian and his master returned to the thatched cottage where they were staying.

"My lord, please have some hot food."

The eldest sister-in-law of the family brought out the porridge.

"it is good."

Li Xingjian sat down, raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Oh, someday, a star will fall from the sky so I can exchange it for money and distribute it to the people," he lamented.

"Sir, you are the star. Without you, we wouldn't even have this porridge and rice to eat now." The eldest sister-in-law said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, then let's try harder." He picked up the porridge and started eating it with wild vegetables.

On the second day, Li Xingjian went to inspect the fields as usual. At noon, his sister-in-law came towards him with a few people.

"Sir, this is the doctor from the city. He wants to see you."

"Doctor?" He asked in confusion.

"Sir Li, I'm Lin Mingxuan, a doctor from Jimin Hall. I'm sorry to bother you on your official business." Lin Mingxuan bowed, followed by Ding Xirui, Nanxing, Banxia, ​​and Xiaoqiang from Jimin Hall.

Li Xingjian looked at such a long line of people and became even more confused.

"Doctor Lin, what can I do for you?"

"Sir, I have brought a method to feed the people." Lin Mingxuan went straight to the point and spoke directly.

"Full stomach?"

"Correct."

"Please tell me in detail."

Lin Mingxuan pointed to the mountain not far away and said:

"My Lord, have you ever heard of corn? Do you know sweet potatoes, Dutch potatoes, or pumpkins?"

"I know sweet potatoes, but I've never heard of the others."

"Sir, to be honest, I am from Luocheng County. Luonan and Luoxi in Luocheng County are now growing corn. Corn is not particular about the terrain and can be planted at the foot of the mountain, and the yield is quite high..." Lin Mingxuan listed all the advantages of corn.

"Is there such a good thing in this world?"

"Yes. Corn can be planted between April and May every year. Now is the right time."

The lawyer heard the conversation and trotted over from the ridge of the field.

"Swindler, you're here to sell fake seeds and seedlings again!" He was panting, his face full of anger.

"Big brother, why do you say that? I am just sharing some ideas to help people increase production. How can this be considered a scam?" Lin Mingxuan and his group were all confused.

"Sir, don't listen to them. A few years ago, the county was deceived by a group of fruit tree merchants who made exaggerated claims, but the trees they sold us didn't bear any fruit at all. They said they would produce high-yield and delicious vegetables, but the vegetables they grew turned out to be very unpalatable. Sir, don't be deceived by them."

When Li Xingjian heard these things from the people nearby, smoke of war ignited in his heart and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"How dare you guys cheat?"

"Sir, these are our identity documents and travel permits. We are indeed from Luocheng County, and our family runs a clinic. If you don't believe me, feel free to send someone to verify it." Lin Mingxuan and others hurriedly leaned over.

Li Xingjian took the certificate and took a look at it. It didn't look fake.

"Since you run a clinic, why do you come to Lan County to take care of farming matters?" asked the lawyer.

Lin Mingxuan took a deep breath, and Ding Xirui clutched the corner of his clothes.

"Sir, although I am a small doctor, I do not treat headaches and foot pains by treating the head, and I do not only focus on the patient in front of me. Any disease has a cause. A person's disease is closely related to his diet and life. Whether in Luocheng County or Lan County, many of my patients have a common cause, that is, not having enough food and being poor."

Lin Mingxuan said it all in one breath, his face flushed red.

Li Xingjian seemed moved.

"You make it sound nice." The lawyer still didn't believe it.

Ding Xirui stepped forward and said:

"Sir Li, please listen to what I have to say. Yesterday, a patient came to our house with sores in his mouth and tongue. We followed him home and found that the villagers in his village would add tung grass ash when cooking porridge, because they had too little rice, and the porridge was watery. After adding tung grass ash, the rice soup would become sticky, but they were just deceiving themselves, and their stomachs would not be full. Moreover, tung grass ash would destroy the nutrition of the rice soup, causing sores in their mouths and tongues and stomach discomfort. Sir, although we are ordinary people, we are indeed sympathetic and are definitely not liars."

Xiaoqiang on the side also spoke:

"Sir, I am Lan Xiaoqiang from Jimin Hall, a native of Lan County. What Doctor Lin and Doctor Ding said is true."

"Sir, the road between the two counties has been repaired. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate." Lin Mingxuan leaned over again.

Li Xingjian and his master looked at each other, and the suspicion on their faces gradually faded away.

"Doctor Lin, I'm sorry. It's related to people's livelihood, so I have to be careful. Please forgive me if I have offended you." said the lawyer.

"You're welcome."

"In that case, please let Zhuang Nei tell you in detail." Li Xingjian raised his hand, pointed in the direction of his eldest sister-in-law's house, and said.

"Yes."

The group breathed a sigh of relief.

In the morning, when several people explained the situation to Mr. Zhang, he was very excited and immediately asked Lin Mingxuan to go to find County Magistrate Li. I thought it would be very smooth. Such a good thing, no matter who it is, would be happy to agree. Unexpectedly, Lan County was actually deceived by a liar.

They arrived at the eldest sister-in-law's house and sat down around the small table in the yard. There were not enough stools, so Nanxing and Banxia simply sat on the ground.

"Doctor Lin, what did you just say?"

"Corn. And sweet potatoes, Dutch potatoes, and pumpkin."

"I know sweet potatoes. They don't need much water to survive," said Li Xingjian.

"Sir, sweet potato leaves are also very good vegetables. They can replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, nourish blood and stop bleeding." Ding Xirui added.

"Really? No one here has ever eaten it." said the sister-in-law on the side.

"Sister-in-law, you can pick the tender leaves and stems and stir-fry them. They are also good to put into porridge. After drying them, they can be stored and eaten in winter." Ding Xirui nodded.

"Madam, are you serious?" Li Xingjian confirmed again.

"Sir, I'm serious. If you don't believe me, when the sweet potato leaves grow up in the summer, I will eat a big bowl of it in front of you." Ding Xirui patiently made the promise.

"No need, no need." Li Xingjian waved his hand.

Without seeing it with your own eyes, all words are in vain. Ding Xirui frowned and looked at Lin Mingxuan.

"Sir, there is no point in talking any more. Please send someone to Luocheng County to investigate. I am willing to assist you."

Li Xingjian and his master looked at each other and nodded.
