You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?
Chapter 68 Buying an Ox Cart, Epidemic
The officer looked at the silver in his hand and then at Su Wanning, and took away the big knife that was blocking the way.
"Thank you, sir. You have worked hard."
Su Wanning walked out while speaking.
Zhan Yiran suddenly shouted, "Wan Ning, I thought you were waiting for me in the room, but it turns out you were..."
Zhan Yiran was interrupted by Su Wanning before she could finish her words, "What do you mean by waiting for you? I've already divorced and have nothing to do with the Zhan family anymore."
After saying that, she walked out. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise she would have wasted so much money.
At the end of the day, the official's wallet would probably be full.
Su Wanning really wanted to steal something at night, but when she thought about where the officials kept their silver, she gave up. It didn't matter if it was just a few taels.
Just as they passed an intersection, Zhan Yiran caught up with them. Su Wanning looked at her and asked, "Thirty taels?"
Zhan Yiran nodded, feeling a pang of pain in his heart, "I really want to beat them up for all the money they've paid."
"Are we halfway there now?"
Zhan Yiran thought for a moment and said, "Probably not."
Su Wanning patted Zhan Yiran's shoulder and said, "The time when the Zhan family spent money is still to come."
After Su Wanning's reminder, Zhan Yiran also thought that such situations might occur many times in the future.
If this continues, Biran will suffer a heavy loss. It seems that I have to go back and think of a solution.
Su Wanning went straight to the horse market, which was located in the north of the city. It took about a quarter of an hour to arrive there.
"We want to buy horses."
The man from the horse market stood up from behind the counter and said, "I'm sorry, young lady, we have no more horses in our store now."
"Gone?" Su Wanning was puzzled. Could it be that the exiled official bought it again?
The man at the horse market cracked a melon seed and explained, "There was a heavy rain a while ago, and many horses drowned. Our horse market is located on higher ground, so the losses were smaller. The remaining horses were bought by wealthy merchants in the city two days ago."
"Are there any cows?" Su Wanning asked.
The man at the horse market shook his head and said, "No, but if you want to buy one, you can go to the magnolia tree just after entering the city. There are ox-cart drivers from nearby villages there. If you pay a little more money, they should be willing to sell it to you."
"Thank you." After receiving the news, Su Wanning took Zhan Yiran to the city gate.
From a distance, I saw an ox cart parked there with an old man sitting on it.
"Old man, are you selling this ox cart?"
"I won't sell the ox cart." The old man looked at Su Wanning and sighed. "It rained heavily a few days ago, and all the crops in the fields were drowned. In a few days, we'll need to use the oxen to plow the fields. Let's plant some vegetables first to exchange for some money. Otherwise, we won't be able to survive this year."
A cow could probably be sold for nearly ten taels of silver. Su Wanning thought about it and took out twenty taels of silver from the cloth bag.
"Old man, I'll buy your cow for twenty taels. Look..."
The old man instantly perked up, jumped off the ox cart, and took the silver that Su Wanning handed over.
"Sell! Take the cow away."
Su Wanning didn't react for a moment. Are all the elderly people here so energetic?
He pointed to the frame behind the ox cart and said, "This is behind..."
Without even looking up, the old man said, "This is for you."
Su Wanning nodded, got on the ox cart, and walked a long way. Looking back, she could still see the old man was so happy that his teeth were showing.
Su Wanning looked at Zhan Yiran with some suspicion, "Isn't a cow worth about ten taels of silver?"
Zhan Yiran nodded, and Su Wanning became even more confused. "He didn't want to sell it, so I offered double the price. Why was he so happy?"
Zhan Yiran turned his head to look at the old man. "Ten taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live on for a year. He can just buy another one after the busy farming season. Wouldn't that be like making a few taels of silver for free?"
Ten taels of silver are enough for ordinary people to live for a year. What kind of scene would it be if all the silver she had collected from the national treasury was used on the people?
When I was driving a bullock cart past the pharmacy, I saw a long line of people outside. They were all hunched over and looked like they were in pain all over.
When she got closer, Su Wanning clearly saw the herpes on those people's faces.
The brain started working and screened out several diseases in an instant.
"Sister, go back quickly."
Zhan Yiran didn't understand what was going on, but he still whipped the cattle and drove them back as quickly as possible.
After the two got off the ox cart, Su Wanning, who was originally about to go upstairs, suddenly thought of something and went back to where the ox cart was parked.
He took out a few syringes and extracted some cowpox from the cow.
After returning to the room, he opened the window, took out alcohol and sprayed his whole body.
He took out a book on the treatment of plague from the Chinese medicine pharmacy of the Space Hospital and started looking through it.
Lian Zhan Beiwang didn't even know when he entered the room.
Finally, Su Wanning found the word "smallpox".
Su Wanning breathed a sigh of relief after finding a cure for the plague, and only then did she realize there was someone standing behind her.
"When did you come in?"
"It's been a while, what's wrong?"
Regardless of whether it was still useful now, Su Wanning sprayed it with alcohol again.
Zhan Beiwang coughed twice because of being choked. "Why does it smell like alcohol?"
"This is alcohol, for disinfection."
"Disinfection?" Zhan Beiwang was puzzled.
"Where did you go today?" Su Wanning put the alcohol spray bottle back into the space.
"I'm at the inn. I didn't go anywhere else. What's wrong?"
"Today, when my sister and I were out, we passed by a clinic. There was a long line of people in front of it, and some of them had herpes on their faces." After a pause, he continued, "I suspect it's the plague. As for what it is, this is the more likely possibility."
Su Wanning pointed to the traditional Chinese characters for "ceiling" above.
Zhan Beiwang saw the two words on the book clearly, looked at Su Wanning with a heavy face, and saw the latter nodded seriously.
If this is true, then everyone in this city will probably be abandoned, including them.
Seeing that Su Wanning seemed a little conflicted but not worried, I thought there must be a way.
"Do you know how to treat it?" Zhan Beiwang asked directly.
Su Wanning nodded and shook her head, "I'm not sure."
After all, she only saw this in the medical book, but she couldn't predict what the result would be when it was actually implemented.
Now she can only ensure her own safety first.
Su Wanning wrote down several prescriptions for preventing and alleviating smallpox from the book on a piece of paper.
The book records several methods, including the human pox method, the scab method and the dry pox method. As for the modern cowpox vaccination method, it requires certain technical equipment.
She couldn't guarantee whether it was safe or if there would be other side effects, so she could only give up for the time being.
After writing, Su Wanning handed the paper to Zhan Beiwang, "I don't know how effective these methods will be, and they can only serve as a preventive measure for people who are not infected.
As for those already infected, the Puji Disinfection Decoction below may have a relieving effect. As for whether it will heal, that depends on the person's normal physical condition."
