Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

"What...what do you mean?" Zuo Yi discovered that Miss Lu always threw in a few words that they couldn't understand.

"It's to help the common people find jobs as soon as possible. Only when there is work can there be money to be made, and only when there is money to be made can life be stable." Lu Ke'er frowned, "I think Lord Fang may be worrying about this matter right now."

…………

County government.

Chamber.

Fang Xingzheng was discussing matters with Rong Zhixing, Yu Qianjing and others.

"There are almost no new patients every day, and the original patients are gradually recovering one by one. This epidemic is coming to an end." Fang Xingzheng couldn't hide his joy on his face.

God knows how he got through this period of time.

He moved his family to the meeting hall of the county government and set up a simple wooden bed in the meeting hall. When he was very tired at night, he would sleep on this hard and narrow wooden bed.

These days, he couldn't eat or sleep well, and he lost a lot of weight. The official uniform that used to fit him well was now loose on his body, which looked funny no matter how you looked at it.

"At present, most of the businesses on the street have opened one after another. The number of pedestrians on the street is also increasing day by day." Rong Zhixing said.

He owns a restaurant, a clinic, and a few small shops in Jinji Town. When the epidemic was raging, these shops insisted on operating, but except for the clinic, the other shops were deserted. Now that the epidemic has been eliminated and life has resumed, he is very happy to see the flow of people picking up again.

Fang Xingzheng looked worried, "It's just that many residents are living in poverty right now. Yesterday, two families came to court. One family borrowed money from the other family for medical treatment and food during the epidemic. Now, the first family is urging the first family to pay back the money. The first family has no money to pay back, so the two families, who used to have a good relationship, started fighting. There have been several lawsuits like this in recent days."

Yu Qianjing also nodded in agreement: "I walked around the streets these past two days and found that there were more people fighting and making noises. Not only that, there seemed to be more unemployed people on the streets than before."

"You noticed all this?" Gao Yutang was very surprised. "I thought you only knew how to drink and have fun."

"Gao Yaoguanzi, is this the kind of person I am? What do you mean by only drinking and having fun?" Yu Qianjing was very dissatisfied.

He had recently given Gao Yutang the nickname of "medicine jar". Whenever the two of them were bickering, he would use it.

"We have been very busy these days. What about you? You are wandering around outside every day. If you are not drinking and having fun, what are you doing?" Gao Yutang said to him righteously.

"Nonsense." Yu Qianjing was angry, "I'm doing what Miss Lu told me to do. What do you know?"

Gao Yutang stared at him suspiciously.

Fang Xingzheng became interested and asked him, "What did Miss Lu tell you?"

"She asked me to do something...something about market research." Yu Qianjing touched his nose and said.

"Market research?"

"Isn't this word strange? You haven't heard of it, have you?" Yu Qianjing was very proud. "I understand this word. Miss Ke'er wanted me to know what industries the people in Xilin County are engaged in, which industries have more people, and which industries have fewer people. In addition, she also wanted me to know what are the advantageous resources in Xilin County, what are the disadvantages... and so on. Anyway, all kinds of strange questions."

Fang Xingzheng's eyes lit up: "How did you do?"

"That's about right." Yu Qianjing touched his nose again and said, "For example, Xilin County is rich in products, not to mention medicinal materials. Therefore, there are more than a hundred drugstores of all sizes in Xilin County. Most of the residents here know a little bit about pharmacology. This is also one of the reasons why our Xilin County was able to control the epidemic in time. We don't lack the medicinal materials on the prescription, and the people also have a certain amount of pharmacology knowledge. They are more cooperative with the isolation measures during the epidemic. Unlike other counties..."

At this point, he paused, a look of pity appeared on his face: "I heard that Qingshan County, which is also in Luzhou, did not have such good prevention and control results. When the epidemic appeared, the county magistrate of Qingshan County was slow to react and did nothing. Later, when he saw more and more people were infected, the county magistrate simply gave up and almost let it go. If it weren't for Luzhou Governor Lu Yiquan who sent doctors and soldiers to maintain governance, there would be more deaths now."

"How many people died over there?" Gao Yutang asked.

He had also heard about this, because some of the patients in Xuanhu Pavilion were from Qingshan County.

"I heard that 50 to 60 people died, accounting for nearly 80% of the people who died from the epidemic in Luzhou Prefecture."

"It seems that the Qingshan County Magistrate has reached the end of his career." Yu Qianjing said.

Fang Xingzheng was not interested in the future of other county magistrates. He was only concerned about one thing: "Second Young Master, you have also seen that the number of unemployed vagrants in this county has increased. If this continues, it will breed trouble. In your opinion, how should we solve this problem?"

Yu Qianjing's face froze: "This... I haven't thought about this yet. Alas, this market research task was given to me by Miss Lu. I think Miss Lu must have some ideas. Why don't you ask Miss Lu?"

No matter what, just kick the ball to Lu Ke'er, it will be the right thing to do.

Yu Qianjing understood that this girl was not an ordinary person at all.

………………

Lu Ke'er's carriage stopped outside the old house next to the stone bridge in the west of the town.

Qiuyu got out of the car first and helped Lu Keer out. Yefeng also got out of the car and stood beside her.

Looking through the open gate, the children in the yard were busy.

The sixteen-year-old Hu Zi was chopping wood, while Chou Ya and a few other girls were washing hawthorns and stringing candied haws.

Little girl Shi Chenyu just looked up and saw everyone. She ran over happily, shouting as she ran: "The young lady is here, the young lady is here!"

"Huluha--" Everyone put down their work and rushed over.

"Hello, Miss. Hello, Miss!"

Greetings came one after another.

"Have you started work?" Lu Ke'er asked with a smile.

"Yes." Shi Chenxing came over and said, "Miss, during the epidemic prevention period, we didn't sell any candied haws. Not only did we not make any money, but we spent a lot on buying food and medicine. We had originally planned to renovate the house, but now we have to postpone it."

Lu Ke'er asked, "I heard that this old house has an owner. Do you know where the title deed of this house is now?"

Shi Chenxing was shocked: "Why do you ask this, Miss?"

"I think it would be more reassuring to make this house our own first." Lu Ke'er said, "We can renovate it after we buy it."

The children looked at each other, excited and hesitant.

"I heard that the owner of this house left the house deed with the broker before coming to Beijing, and asked the broker to help him sell the house. However, in the past few years, there have been some people who came to see the house, but most of them thought the house was too shabby and that it would cost a lot of money to repair it after buying it, so they didn't make any deals." Shi Chenxing said excitedly, "Miss, as long as we have money, we can definitely buy the house."

Only when the house belongs to them can they be said to have truly settled down.

"It's just that this money..."
