Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Upon hearing this, the master hesitated even more: "Although this Ruyi An was personally appointed by the emperor and is very proficient in crops, she is just a peasant woman after all. How could she understand medicine? Could it be..."

Lu Yunfeng knew his concerns, but he was more convinced of Yun Zhenzhen in his heart.

As for her, she would never present something openly if she was not sure about it or had not tested it.

"But your idea makes sense. There are many people in this world who don't trust others' abilities." Lu Yunfeng turned to look at County Magistrate Wang and suggested, "Sir, there are many people like me who have their own ideas. I suggest that we first declare that this prescription was written by a miracle doctor and have other doctors cooperate in making the medicine. Otherwise, those doctors will definitely raise their own doubts. If we explain them one by one, we won't have enough time. At this critical juncture, time is life."

Master: "..."

He didn't disbelieve in Yun Niang's strength, he just raised his doubts.

County Magistrate Wang nodded in agreement.

At this critical juncture, not a single minute can be wasted, and extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

If honeysuckle can be an effective substitute for ephedra, we can make a copy and send it to Yuzhou tonight.

After all, the infectious diseases there are more serious and the population is more dense. If they are not handled properly, the surrounding areas will be in danger.

"Master, you will be in charge of preparing the medicines in the city. I will go outside the city to appease the refugees." Lu Yunfeng said calmly, "As for you, you will stay at the county government office, issue orders, and allocate personnel appropriately."

County Magistrate Wang frowned and then shook his head: "No, the city is in chaos right now. How can you, an official appointed by the imperial court, go out of the city in person? What if something unexpected happens?"

"Ren Ruyi is now helping to control the flu in Qinjia Village. As a local official, I naturally cannot just sit in the yamen and wait there." Lu Yunfeng looked at him steadily.

"What's more, the people are unstable right now. If no officials go out to appease them, it is likely to cause unrest, which will make it even more difficult to control. Besides, the yamen runners outside are also raised by their parents. If they can go, then naturally I can go too. Only when I appear outside the city and they see that Yunding County has not given up on them can everyone be truly appeased."

County Magistrate Wang lowered his head silently.

That was indeed the truth. After hearing what he said, he wanted to leave the city himself, but there were many troubles in the city now, so he had to stay here to maintain order.

"Sir, I'll go first. Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself."

Lu Yunfeng put on three masks that Yun Zhenzhen brought, and walked out of the county government office fully armed.

Looking at his back, County Magistrate Wang sighed deeply. This is the official of our Great Wei, full of vigor and fighting for the people and the country.

……

at this time.

Several doctors summoned by the county government were discussing countermeasures.

There are not enough medicinal materials now, people cannot get effective treatment, and the flu cannot be controlled, causing panic among the people in the city.

A doctor stroked his beard and sighed, "If we can't find enough herbs for this disease, it will spread further and further, and the people of the entire city will suffer."

"What should we do? We should isolate the sick people together. We can't just ignore them."

"There have been cases in the past where large-scale infectious diseases were not treated promptly, ultimately resulting in the deaths of many people. If we don't stop it in time this time, I'm afraid the same mistake will happen again."

"..."

All the doctors in the room were willing but unable to do anything. There was nothing they could do as they couldn't produce medicinal herbs out of thin air.

Infectious diseases are not unfamiliar words. When war broke out decades ago, there were too many deaths in various places and there was no time to deal with the bodies, so various plagues broke out.

Without timely prevention and control, infected people have been fleeing everywhere, and the scope has been expanding...

"Have you all finished your tasks? You still have the leisure to chat here." The lawyer walked in and threw a new prescription on the table. "From now on, everyone can use honeysuckle to replace ephedra in the prescription. You are responsible for all the people in the city. Now go back and collect all the honeysuckle in the pharmacies, including those in the people's homes, and make a unified medicine for distribution."

A doctor came over and saw the contents of the prescription: "This... Can this honeysuckle replace the most important ephedra? What if it doesn't work..."

Although ephedra is in the biggest shortage, other medicines cannot be wasted. Wouldn't it be worse if they are mixed into medicine and distributed and become useless after being taken?

How could the lawyer not understand these principles? But at this point, the order from the master has come down, and he cannot go against them at this juncture. He can only support their ideas and work together to have a chance of success.

He said coldly, "Now, do you have any better methods? This is a gift from a miracle doctor to our county magistrate. He has many years of experience. You ordinary doctors definitely don't understand. Don't waste time here. Hurry up and do it for me."

Now that the higher-ups have said so, these doctors can no longer resist.

Although many of them do not believe in this method, there is no better way now than using this recipe.

I can only try it first, what if it works?

……

the other side.

Lu Yunfeng came to the outside of the city with two yamen runners and two doctors.

It was afternoon, not yet time for dinner, and both big pots were empty.

Lu Yunfeng directed his men to light a fire, and then threw the herbs he had brought with him into the pot. During this time, many refugees gathered around, thinking that they would have porridge in advance today.

"Sir, what are you doing? It doesn't look like you're cooking for us. Could it be some local specialty food we haven't seen before?"

"You're really out of food, right? Cook some wild vegetable soup for us."

"But having wild vegetable roots to eat isn't bad, at least it's better than being on the road without even water. Now that we've settled down, we're content."

"Since we're already eating wild vegetable soup, could you give me some more later? I'm never quite full. When I wake up in the middle of the night, my stomach always hurts from hunger. It's so uncomfortable..."

The refugees gathered around two large pots, talking in low voices, occasionally revealing hopeful looks in their eyes.

Since they came here, they built some thatched houses to keep out the cold at night. Someone also delivered food every day. Although they didn't have enough to eat, they would not starve to death. This was much better than the conditions they had on the road.

There were some ambitious people among them who wanted to take crooked paths and rob food from the surrounding villages. Fortunately, the county magistrate gave orders to appease them in time, so that no big mistake was made.

Who would do such a dangerous job if they can live a good life and have something to eat?
