The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Chapter 45 Go dig up all those sweet potato seedlings

Gu Yin went to check on the meals for the workers digging the sewers. He had already told her father to cook some meat soup and steamed buns for the workers every day, and provide a meat meal every few days. Then he asked Gao Fei to prepare some mung bean soup for the workers to cool down.

After explaining all this, Gu Yin went with Song Ruorou, Ye Ningxin and the others to look for Wei Ciyuan.

"Mr. Wei, what do you want to talk to me about?" Gu Yin asked straight to the point when she saw Wei Ciyuan.

"Miss Gu is here. Please sit down and have some tea first." Wei Ciyuan greeted a few people.

This was the first time Ye Ningxin met Jun Lan, and unsurprisingly, she was amazed.

The few of them sat down and introduced themselves to each other. Wei Ciyuan didn't hesitate and directly stated the purpose of inviting Gu Yin: "Ms. Gu, I asked you to come here to listen to your opinions. I said before that I was researching ways to treat Jun Lan's legs. With the alcohol you provided, I have now developed a way to treat Jun Lan's legs."

"Master Wei's medical skills are truly extraordinary." Gu Yin exclaimed in admiration. In an era like the Daji Dynasty where medical skills were backward, he could actually come up with a way to treat Jun Lan's leg. It was truly remarkable.

"But I'm still a little uneasy, afraid that I've missed something." Wei Ciyuan looked a little worried, "I thought Miss Gu was very knowledgeable, so I shamelessly asked Miss Gu to come over to discuss it."

Gu Yin really knew nothing about medicine, but she did have more experience in modern times. Although she was not good at medicine, she did have some common sense. After thinking for a moment, Gu Yin asked, "How are you going to treat him?"

"The main thing is to cut open his knee, clip out the broken bones inside, and then sew it up. I didn't dare to move before because I was afraid that the wound would become inflamed and easily cause a high fever, but now with alcohol, it's different." Wei Ciyuan paused and continued, "I used alcohol to try it on patients with external injuries. Wiping the wound with alcohol before and after suturing basically prevented it from becoming inflamed and oozing pus. So I think I can use alcohol to treat Jun Lan."

"Have you ever done the same experiment on animals? I mean, the knee suture experiment."

"Using animals for experiments?" Wei Ciyuan slapped his hands hard after hearing this. "Yeah, why didn't I think of this method?"

"Is there anything else I should pay attention to?" Wei Ciyuan asked.

"Well...don't forget to take notes during the experiment. Finally, draw up a plan and remember to mark what needs to be done at each step and the tools and medicines needed. This way, when the actual treatment begins, you will have a clear idea of ​​what to do and be able to handle it with ease."

"Anything else?" Wei Ciyuan looked like he was listening attentively.

"Well... I can't say much about the rest. It all depends on your medical skills. But you can consider postponing the surgery until the weather gets cooler. This can also reduce the chance of the wound getting infected."

Gu Yin said everything she could think of, and the rest was up to Wei Ciyuan.

Wei Ciyuan sighed that it was the right decision to call Gu Yin on this trip. He found that every time he talked to her, he would have new discoveries or insights.

What Gu Yin didn't know was that after her suggestion, there were many kinds of lame animals in Wei Ciyuan's yard from then on.

But that’s all for another day.

Wei Ciyuan looked at Jun Lan who was sitting beside them listening to their conversation, and took credit for it, "I said that it was necessary to ask Miss Gu to come over and help check it out. Look, she has been a great help."

Jun Lan nodded, and Wei Ciyuan's face suddenly became even more proud when he got his affirmation.

After talking about the treatment, Gu Yin suddenly thought of the uncle's son yesterday. The uncle's son lost his legs in the war, but now the court seems to have forgotten them.

Thinking of this, Gu Yin also asked directly: "Does the court provide any subsidies for soldiers injured in battle?"

"In a war, those with minor injuries will recover and continue to go to the battlefield. Those with serious injuries will find it difficult to survive. Only those with a lucky chance will survive. Those who are disabled and cannot go to the battlefield will be sent home and given a pension." Jun Lan replied indifferently after hearing Gu Yin's question.

"Is that all?"

Jun Lan looked at her doubtfully, as if he had no idea what she meant.

"What I mean is, apart from the pension, since they have difficulty in moving, doesn't the court provide any support for their future life?" Gu Yin explained.

"The soldiers on the front line can't even fill their stomachs..." Jun Lan said coldly, his tone sounding sarcastic and helpless.

Gu Yin remained silent. He had ignored the fact that people in this dynasty could not even get enough food to eat. The court had already done its utmost by giving them a pension.

"It will be soon. The people of Daji Dynasty won't have to worry about going hungry anymore." Gu Yin couldn't bear to see their disappointed looks, so she encouraged them.

"What do you mean?" Jun Lan asked, looking directly into Gu Yin's eyes.

Gu Yin dared to look him in the eye and repeated, "What I mean is that in one or two years, the people of Daji Dynasty will no longer have to starve."

Jun Lan's dark pupils stared at Gu Yin's eyes. Just when Gu Yin was about to be unable to bear his gaze, he said, "Just relying on the sweet potatoes provided by the county government?"

Jun Lan thought about it for a while. Gu Yin could say such a thing, which meant he knew something. The only thing related to Gu Yin and related to food was the sweet potato seedlings that the county government had provided to the villagers whose seeds had been lost.

"How do you know?" Gu Yin's eyes widened.

"That sweet potato, how is the yield?"

"It should be no problem to produce 5,000 to 6,000 kilograms per mu. If the planting is good, it may be possible to reach 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms." Since he had already guessed it, Gu Yin had nothing to hide. Anyway, the sweet potato seedlings had been handed over to the villagers for planting, and they would know sooner or later.

"Really?!" Jun Lan was shocked, and his usually cold expression was broken for the first time.

The people nearby also widened their eyes after hearing this, and looked at Gu Yin like a hungry wolf seeing raw meat, as if they wanted to devour her.

They had never heard of or imagined that a farm could produce thousands of kilograms of grain.

"Well... the yield of sweet potatoes is indeed high, but they can only be used as a supplement. They can fill your stomach when there is no food to eat, but they cannot replace wheat and rice." Gu Yin couldn't tell the specific reason. After all, no one in modern times uses sweet potatoes to replace rice, but it is always a good choice to fill your stomach.

But those present don’t care whether they can be replaced or not. As long as they can fill their stomachs, they can save countless people in times of famine. In times of real famine, it would be like a swarm of locusts, with no grass growing and even the grass roots and tree bark being stripped away.

"Mo Yi!" Jun Lan suddenly called out.

"Here!" A black-clad guard who had been standing behind Jun Lan stepped forward and responded.

"Find a way to dig out all those sweet potato seedlings and transplant them to the farm for separate management." Jun Lan gave the order decisively.

"Yes!" Mo Yi responded and turned around to carry out the order.

"Wait..." Gu Yin quickly spoke up to stop him.
