The wife of two taels of silver

Busy day after day, Lin Haitang became more and more adept at training apprentices.

Half a month passed in a flash. The imperial court was about to arrive in Zhanglin County. The five old men and the county magistrate were waiting at the city gate to greet them.

Lin Haitang and Gu An were still packing their snow-cold flowers and did not join in the fun.

During this period, most of the patients in Zhanglin County have recovered, and only a small number of elderly people still need to take some medicine.

Through these cases, Lin Haitang discovered that most people recovered completely after three courses of treatment. For those with weaker health, four courses was sufficient. A course of treatment lasted seven days, with medication administered twice daily, each time consuming five qian of snow-cold flowers. In other words, each infected person needed two jin and one liang of snow-cold flowers to recover from febrile illness.

With the calculable quantity, I have an idea of ​​how many snow-white flowers and crabapple trees are needed.

It must be said that Lin Haitang is not seeking credit. This is all thanks to Lin Haitang's space, otherwise almost half of the people in Kang Dynasty would have died.

Lin Haitang and Gu An now have a total of eighty-nine apprentices. These people also know that they will be sent to various places soon. Everyone is more or less nervous. They all stand in the planting area of ​​​​Xuehan Flowers. Even if they have already memorized something, they still have to surround Lin Haitang and Gu An to confirm it again and again.

Lin Haitang and Gu An did not show any impatience and patiently answered the questions one by one.

Not many of these people could read, only ten could. However, this ratio exceeded Lin Haitang's expectations. She had originally thought that it would be great if there were two or three people who could read.

Because they were illiterate, the key points of growing snow-cold flowers were directly told to them by Lin Haitang and Gu An, and they were asked to memorize them in their minds.

Lin Haitang made all the necessary preparations, fearing that these people would forget something and she would not be with them, so she wrote an instruction manual for planting and caring for the snow-cold flower for each person.

At this time, Lin Haitang and Gu An did not know that they not only knew the people sent by the court but were also very familiar with them.

At the gate of Zhanglin County, an army stood on the street, looking exhausted. If their clothes had a few more holes in them, they would look even more like refugees.

The magistrate of Zhanglin County slumped his shoulders, his hands trembling as he tried to grasp the hand of the man standing at the front of the army. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his voice trembled as he said, "General, thank you for your hard work!"

Zhao Hongwei looked tired. He waved his hand and said, "Zheng County Magistrate, let's go in."

A journey of more than a month was forcibly compressed into half a month. It could be said that they had to work day and night. Not to mention drinking water, there was probably no time even to urinate. What's more, this was not a single person, but an army of more than a hundred people.

Zhanglin County had few yamen runners available, so County Magistrate Zheng called out to the runners beside him, "Quick! Tell Aunt Wang the general has arrived! Set the table for dinner!"

The reason why it was Aunt Wang was because she was an ordinary citizen of Zhanglin County. Everyone knew that someone from the imperial court would come to help in a while, so they voluntarily formed a small team to prepare accommodation for the people from the imperial court and also provided people to cook.

There is really no one available in the county government office, and the only people left are these ordinary people.

The food on the table was nothing special, just a home-cooked meal with both meat and vegetables. The county government couldn't afford so many ribs, so they bought some extra large bones and some chickens.

Zhao Hongwei and his friends didn't feel disgusted at all. They sat down and started eating. This was the first hot meal they had eaten in so many days.

After everything was swept away, the plates and bowls were completely empty.

County Magistrate Zheng had prepared a place to stay early on. The soldiers walked into the room with their eyes closed, without even taking off their clothes, and rolled onto the bed.

Zhao Hongwei hadn't slept, his eyes bloodshot. He forced himself to stay awake, pulled County Magistrate Zheng aside, and asked, "Where are my brother and sister-in-law? Why don't I see them?"

County Magistrate Zheng was somewhat puzzled. He poured Zhao Hongwei a cup of tea and asked, "General, who is your brother..."

"Oh," Zhao Hongwei slapped his head and said, "Gu An is my brother, and Lin Haitang is my sister-in-law."

"Oh!" County Magistrate Zheng was a little shocked. He said quickly, "Doctor Lin and Brother Gu are at the plantation right now. They're the busiest couple here."

As he spoke, County Magistrate Zheng's eyes reddened again. He began to cry and choked up as he said, "We are really grateful to Doctor Lin. Without her, we would have died long ago! She gave us a life."

Zhao Hongwei felt bad too. He knew how serious the situation was. There were people infected even around the capital. If it had not been discovered early and the infected area had not been closed off instantly, the capital would have fallen long ago.

"Zheng County Magistrate, where are the planting sites?" Zhao Hongwei stood up and said, "I'll go see them."

Planting place.

At this time, Lin Haitang was holding a meeting with everyone, and the content of the meeting was mainly to calm everyone's nervousness.

These people had basically never traveled far, and most of them had no education. It was inevitable that they were nervous about facing such a big task for the first time. Lin Haitang completely understood and could empathize with them.

I remember when Lin Haitang went to junior high school in the city for the first time, she was so nervous that her legs were shaking.

"Don't be so scared, everyone. You are now fully capable of becoming a master. It's no exaggeration to say that you can grow crops better than I do!" Lin Haitang raised her voice so that everyone could hear.

One older woman rubbed her hands nervously and said, "What if we can't plant the crops well when we get there..."

Lin Haitang shook her head and said, "You are just too unconfident. You will definitely be able to grow it well."

"Brothers and sisters, remember, you can do this," Lin Haitang soothed softly. "You know what? You're so kind! Not only have you escaped suffering, but you're also thinking about helping others do the same. Your spirit is truly admirable."

"Don't worry at all. Just treat growing snow frost flowers like growing crops and follow our instructions. There won't be any problems at all." Lin Haitang said with a smile, "When you get here, you'll be the top technicians. Once everything is settled, I'll treat everyone to a meal! I'll cook for you myself!"

"Okay!!!" everyone responded.

Zhao Hongwei saw this scene when he came. He saw Lin Haitang, who was like a "big brother", and could call on the crowd with a wave of his hand. Gu An stood beside him, staring at Lin Haitang, with a simple hairstyle that he had never seen before, leaning against the tree trunk, looking affectionate.

"Gu'er!" After the crowd dispersed, Zhao Hongwei went against the flow and shouted.

"General Zhao!" Lin Haitang looked at the person who came and widened her eyes.
