The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu frowned slightly, then raised his eyes and looked at Du Ziheng and Wei Bai.

"There is a small town near Chifeng City that has been severely affected by drought, severe water shortages, and a serious flu crisis. People in the village are fleeing, and the government has not taken any action for the time being."

Du Ziheng and the others were shocked when they heard this. They had heard of this kind of thing before, and the most pitiful ones were the common people at the bottom of society.

Yun Mujiu took a breath and continued, "Fortunately, I usually ask the people in the medicine pavilion to treat others with sincerity. Every month, each medicine pavilion takes out part of the profit to treat ordinary people who are in need but have no money."

"The shopkeeper Qu and the female doctors of Fengcao Hall knew how serious this was. Before writing this letter to me, they had already taken some measures on their own. They mainly used the supplies and money in the hall to help the villagers survive first, and at the same time used the doctors and female doctors in the hall to control the spread of the flu."

Manager Qu was the successor of Wang Gui, the old manager of Herb Hall. After training in the training manual written by Yun Mujiu and receiving Wang Gui's guidance, he was finally able to become a qualified manager of the medicine shop. Then he brought his family to the medicine shop in Chifeng City to be the manager, working under Yun Mujiu's name.

"Princess, what is the situation now?" Wei Bai asked worriedly.

Yun Mujiu slightly relaxed his frown, "When Manager Qu wrote the letter, he had already comforted the people who had fled to Chifeng City, and also sent extra people to the town where the incident happened to help rescue the people. The people inside and outside the town were treated by Fengcaotang, although inevitably some people suffered casualties."

In ancient times, the channels and speed of information dissemination were far inferior to those of modern times. The channels were single and the speed was extremely slow. If a ground tremor occurred in a remote place, which is what we call an "earthquake" in modern times, all the people in that area might be wiped out, and no one in other places would know what happened there, let alone provide timely rescue.

It was precisely because the people in those small towns did not take advance precautions against the disaster, did not control the influenza in time, and were unable to spread the news of the disaster in time that many people died.

Fortunately, not all the people in the town were killed or wounded, and some healthy people escaped to the city. The people of Fengcaotang also fulfilled her request, saving the world and the people, and thinking about the people. With the help of the people of Fengcaotang, there were no more casualties.

Among them, there was a major reason for solving the disaster for the people - it was thanks to the special medicine sent by Yun Mujiu from the capital.

The two newly opened pharmacies of Yun Mujiu, like the Herb Hall, have their own unique secret medicines, but the speed of stocking is slower than that of the Herb Hall in the capital, because it takes some time to deliver the goods to the branch pharmacies.

Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan talked about people's livelihood issues. Under Ye Xiaohan's inspiration, Yun Mujiu decided to send more medicines to the two medicine pavilions in the East and West to prepare for the outbreak of war or natural disasters. Therefore, Fengcao Hall and Qingcao Hall both stocked more medicines than Caoye Hall, and some of these medicines were for treating influenza, which just came in handy.

Yun Mujiu handed the letter to Wei Bai and the others, her eyebrows raised, revealing a slight joy. The new pharmacy she opened lived up to her expectations and could make a difference in curing diseases and saving lives.

When he wanted to speak again, the trace of joy on his face faded.

"Later, I will write back to Fengcaotang and allocate a sum of money from my personal hands so that Fengcaotang can pay a separate fee specifically for those civilians who have no money for follow-up treatment due to contracting the cold."

"The prince said to the public that he was still recovering from his injuries, so for the time being I will not mention the prince among the people who paid for this money. I will just say that it was the couple behind Fengcaotang who paid for it."

Du Ziheng and Wei Bai nodded at the same time, looking at Yun Mujiu with admiration. They had already finished reading the letter. At the end of the letter, Shopkeeper Qu mentioned that the government had noticed the incident in the town and sent relevant personnel to provide certain assistance to the town.

This way, they can rest assured.

Yun Mujiu stood up, went to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a reply. In the letter, she first praised the ability and kindness of the Fengcaotang staff, and then said that she would give each of them a reward as an encouragement. In addition, she briefly mentioned the request to help find Master Mu.

Before she received the letter from Fengcaotang, she had already sent a message to Fengcaotang. Ji Ling was her friend, and helping a friend was the right thing to do. She was very concerned about finding the boy that Ji Ling had been thinking about.

Afterwards, Yun Mujiu asked Fusang to return to her bedroom, took out a sum of silver bills from the cabinet, and put them into an envelope together with the written letter.

The recent hot weather has not weakened compared to before, but has a tendency to get hotter and hotter. Ye Xiaohan ordered some officials to prepare for the drought in advance, and the court also took some actions, so the current drought situation is still under the control of the Zhongyue Dynasty.

That small town is just an omission. After all, the country is so big. Even if some big places have made corresponding preparations, there is no way to completely fight against natural disasters. We can only try our best to prevent and save, but cannot completely avoid the occurrence of natural disasters.

The disaster in a small town is still controllable. I hope there won’t be a bigger disaster next time…

Yun Mujiu and his companions thought of Zhongyue's situation, and their faces became a little serious. Yun Mujiu also thought of Ye Xiaohan who was still away. He said that if he had time on the way, he would visit some officials to check on their work.

"I hope that His Majesty will have a safe and smooth journey and will not encounter any troubles."

She knew that the situation was not as stable as it seemed, and that major disturbances could occur at any time. In her opinion, it would be best for Ye Xiaohan to stay in the Ye Palace before a real national war broke out. However, sometimes they had to step out because of new disturbances in the outside world, just as Ye Xiaohan was concerned about Zhongyue's safety and took people to check the news of the Dongyang Empire overnight.

Yun Mujiu sealed the letter and gave it to two guards to send to Chifeng City.

At this time, Qingxiu came over holding a pile of account books. Yun Mujiu was the boss, and every one or two months Qingxiu would show Yun Mujiu the latest account books.

Yun Mujiu had not learned any bookkeeping knowledge, but she was a modern person after all, so she had some math and financial management skills. She often followed Ye Xiaohan, and she would learn when Ye Xiaohan was handling official business or doing other things.

In addition, the Night Palace has Butler Zeng, an old man with rich experience in managing the palace, and Wei Bo, a business genius, so she has learned a lot.

Yun Mujiu spent a quarter of an hour reading the account book and gave Qingxiu a few small suggestions.

Qingxiu agreed to all of them, and then asked Yun Mujiu and Wei Bai for some advice.

Before leaving, Qingxiu talked about the day when she met Ling Xingmu in the Hundred Flowers Garden.

Yun Mujiu was stunned and a little surprised.

"Ling Xingmu has the VIP passage, why did he choose to squeeze in the lobby with other guests?"
