Mo Yun and his companions leaped down from the city wall and called everyone on it down. They walked to the door of a teahouse, climbed the steps, and spoke to the people from above.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince will never stand by and watch the people of Great Qi suffer. Everyone, please rest assured. We will not abandon a single person."

The people who had just experienced the brink of life and death were crying with joy.

"Now, convey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's oral order to requisition several doctors from Daxing Town, medicines from the clinic, and grain from the granary..."

The people in the grain stores and drug stores in Daxing Town were panicking. They thought that this requisition would mean giving the money away for free. This was unacceptable.

Mo Yun saw through it immediately and said calmly, "Anyone who makes donations to grain stores and pharmacies during this time of crisis will be treated unfairly by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After the epidemic, they can be promoted to a sixth-rank official."

"what?"

"Sixth rank official?"

"Wow! Isn't that a higher position than the county magistrate?"

"Sir, do you have any evidence to support your words?"

Mo Yun smiled and took out a few letters from his pocket: "This is a letter written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it also has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal seal."

He unfolded the letter for everyone to see. Actually, it wasn't Yun Qing who wrote it; Yun Qing had no idea about it. It was Mu Qingcheng's idea, and the prince's seal was also carved from a radish. Yun Qing's seal was left in Chonghua Palace and he didn't carry it with him at all.

But the people could not tell the real from the fake. Deep down they had absolute trust in the red seal. Who would suspect that the seal was carved from a radish?

When the people saw it, they realized that he was indeed receiving the title of Wailang, a sixth-rank official. Although they did not know what a sixth-rank official was, being a sixth-rank official was an honor that common people like them could never earn in several lifetimes.

Soon, two grain and medicine shops stepped forward and donated their own grain and medicine. These supplies can be earned back, but the officials will never be able to earn them back in several lifetimes.

Mo Yun handed the letter to the two men and shouted, "Where is the doctor from Daxing Town?"

Five or six people stood up from the crowd, ranging from those in their thirties to their fifties and sixties.

"You have been conscripted. From now on, you are the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital."

"What!" Several people were stunned and didn't react for a long time: "Are we the imperial physician now?"

Mo Yun nodded: "It's an emergency, so I can't give you the letter of appointment and the ivory plate now, but I will definitely make it up in the future."

"Hahaha! I didn't expect that I, Wei Xian, could still work in the Imperial Hospital at my age. I, Wei Xian, have brought honor to our ancestors, hahaha..." The old man was so happy that many people were envious.

Those doctors who hadn't stepped forward just now were regretting their hesitation. If they stepped forward now, could they still enter the Imperial Hospital?

Mo Feng was carrying a backpack, and he gave it to the doctors, asking them to distribute the masks in the backpack to everyone.

"This is a mask, which is now distributed to everyone for free. Each person is only allowed to receive one."

"What is this? What is it used for?" The people of Daxing Town were very curious about this rare object.

Mo Yun taught everyone to put it on and started to deceive people: "As the old saying goes, diseases come from the mouth. This is a mask. It is a secret recipe that the imperial doctors in the palace don't pass on. Cover your mouth and nose with a mask, and no disease will enter our body."

When the people heard this, they thought it made sense! Besides, this came from the palace, so how could it not work?

"Give me one quickly."

"I want it too, I want it too."

"Sir, there are still two people from our family who haven't come yet. Can we take two more?"

Mo Yun used his inner strength to shout, "Everyone, don't rush. Line up and receive one by one. This is a benefit provided by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the people. In the absence of a good remedy, this is a life-saving panacea. I hope you will cherish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's kindness. Don't claim without authorization or take more than you deserve. Elderly people who can't go out should not receive any. Stay at home and disease won't come to you. Leave the masks for those who need them!"

Everyone in Daxing Town heard that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who saved their lives, and that His Royal Highness was still working hard to find a way for them to survive. And not only were they not grateful, they were even trying to take advantage. How inhumane!

The line for masks suddenly became quiet, and no one was scrambling for them anymore.

"Everyone, listen to me again. You must not mix and match these masks. Wear your own..."

Mo Yun repeated Mu Qingcheng's story again. The people of Daxing Town listened attentively, afraid of missing anything.

"I have another health song here, which is also a secret recipe of the Imperial Hospital. If you recite it once a day and follow it, our Highness guarantees that you will never get sick."

The people of Daxing Town were thrilled upon hearing this. This was a palace secret; they needed to memorize it and pass it down to their children and grandchildren. The new staff at the Imperial Hospital were especially eager to find paper and pen to write it down.

Everything was arranged very smoothly, and Moyun finally called the headman.

"There's a Zhou Family Inn in Daxing Town that has been requisitioned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Send all the patients there immediately. Then, check every household to ensure no patient is left outside."

The troubled heart of the pavilion chief finally settled down. With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as their backer, they finally didn't have to die. They were saved.

"Yes, sir, don't worry, I will conduct a strict investigation."

Mo Yun instructed the imperial doctors to go to the inn to prepare first, and gave them the prescription written by Feng Zhishang, asking them to start boiling the medicine in a big pot.

"Men and women will live separately. Men will live in the outer courtyard, and women will live in the inner courtyard. We are now recruiting twenty more people to take turns caring for the patients. Ten men and ten women are required. They must be healthy."

This time, before Moyun even mentioned the reward, people were already scrambling to sign up.

"Pass on another oral order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Mo Yun looked at the people's reactions cautiously.

"All shops in Daxing Town are closed, and residents are prohibited from leaving their homes unless necessary. This is the only way to prevent the spread of the disease."

If this oral order had been given right away, the people would have immediately rebelled. But now, as soon as the people heard that this was the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they had to obey, for it was also for their own good.

"But if we close down and stay home, what will we eat and drink?"

"Yes! What shall we do if we have no food?"

"It's so cold, even if I stay at home, I can't do without firewood!"

"Yes!"

Mo Yun said, "Everyone, go home without worry! From now on, the headman will send people to buy rice at every street corner every morning. If there is a shortage of food, we can send someone out to buy it. We will definitely not let anyone go short of food."

When the people heard how thoughtful His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was, they had nothing to say and all went home.

"Sir, we are not from Daxing Town. How can we be resettled?"

Mo Yun glanced at the headman and said, "These outsiders will temporarily stay in Daxing Town, register, and find a place to live."

The headman was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refute and had to agree.

Soon, Daxing Town became quiet. There was no trace of cats or dogs on the streets except for the snow that had not been cleared in time.

Mo Yun and the others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Daxing Town was saved.
