After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

"Drink the medicine three times a day, and queue up over there to get it.

Stay in Luzhou for the next three days and return after your fever has completely subsided. The person distributing the medicine there will take you to the inn."

After a brief explanation, Shen Yunwan waved her hand and asked the next person to come forward.

Liu Ze didn't say much, just looked at Shen Yunwan deeply, and then walked over there.

Then other people from Lotus Town followed him into the queue.

After receiving the medicine, someone led them to the inn.

An inn was full of patients with fever, and they were given medicine and porridge every day.

Basically after three days, people here will no longer have recurring fevers and their body temperature will return to normal.

Although there was no meat, after drinking bowls of white porridge, my body felt warm and a heat flowed through my body.

A day later, Liu Ze felt much better.

No more pain and fatigue, and the body is more energetic than before.

The doubt in his eyes grew stronger.

After a few days in the inn, he had become familiar with the people here.

Only then did I know that Shen Yunwan was a medical officer sent by the imperial court.

Liu Ze listened to the people praising Shen Yunwan.

He held a bowl of medicine and tasted it carefully. Even though it was light, he could taste the flavor beyond the herbs.

The department store she opened in Hehua Town was something a peasant woman in Ping'an Village could not have imagined.

Liu Ze squinted his eyes and looked at his own reflection in the medicine, which seemed both strange and familiar.

Even now he is not used to the face in the medicine.

He didn't know why he came to this dynasty, and a flood occurred shortly after he arrived.

Fortunately, he decisively ordered the evacuation of the people, thus preventing loss of life.

However, post-disaster reconstruction would probably be extremely difficult in this dynasty.

That's why he brought people to Luzhou. In addition to getting some fever-reducing medicine, he also wanted to meet the county magistrate and the disaster relief ambassador who came from the capital.

Thinking of getting some money to rebuild Lotus Town.

Unexpectedly, he would discover the secret of the decoction.

But where did the medicine come from if it does not belong to this dynasty?

Three days later, not only Liu Ze, but also the villagers he brought with him had recovered from their fever.

I feel refreshed.

There are fewer patients in Luzhou City, but the number of people is still increasing. After all, there is food here every day. Although they are greedy for sand, it is better than nothing.

Liu Ze went to the medical booth in the yamen to find Shen Yunwan.

"Doctor Shen, there should be patients with fever in Hehua Town these days.

I wonder if you could give me a prescription for the fever-reducing medicine. I'll go back and have someone make some fever-reducing soup for everyone to drink."

Shen Yunwan looked at him deeply and said, "Liu Zhenshou, you can ask someone to bring back some medicine. You don't have to worry about it going bad if you bring too much.

This is a herbal decoction that can be consumed within three days. Generally, a fever will subside after three days of drinking it.

Seeing that Shen Yunwan refused to give in, Liu Ze thought of the porridge in the inn. "I stayed in the inn for three days. After the fever subsided, I felt more energetic. I wonder if it was because of the porridge in the inn.

What is the porridge made of? I thought about making some porridge when I returned to Hehua Town, so that the people could drink some and feel better.

You also know that the people have suffered during this period."

Liu Ze stared at the person in front of him, not missing a single expression on her face.

Shen Yunwan leaned back in her chair, looked back, and sized up the person in front of her.

Why did she feel that Liu Ze was here to find out about her background?

"That's just plain white porridge. You can ask the waiter at the inn. I didn't make the porridge either."

But Shen Yunwan showed no intention of giving in.

He stopped asking questions and asked the villagers to take some medicine back.

More and more people gathered in Luzhou City.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to provide free porridge and steamed buns.

At the porridge stall,

"Is this porridge? It's so thin that I can even see my reflection in it. The officials eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, but we ordinary people only have water?"

"That's right. The buns have gone from two to one at a meal, and now this one is getting smaller and smaller."

"That's right. They even said they would help us rebuild our homes. But the court gave us nothing. How can we rebuild? We've lost our houses and crops."

"I thought the disaster relief ambassador from the capital would truly stand up for the people, but I didn't expect him to be just as corrupt."

"The grain and silver allocated by the imperial court must have gone into the pockets of officials like these."

……

The people queuing saw that there were only a few grains of rice in the porridge, and that the steamed buns were not only fewer but also smaller.

In just a few days, they had gotten used to queuing up to get steamed buns and porridge.

I have already forgotten how they struggled between life and death a few days ago.

Ping'an Village heard people in the crowd slandering Lin Chengfeng, and they were so angry that they stepped forward to argue, "What nonsense are you talking about! If it weren't for Lord Lin bringing relief grain from the capital, would you still have the chance to stand here and make fun of them? You ungrateful people!"

“As an official appointed by the imperial court, the food was not given to us by him, but by the imperial court.

And do we have food to eat now?"

A man in the crowd came up to the village head with a bowl of porridge.

The village head was so scared that he took a half step back.

Lin Chengyan, who was standing behind the village head, pulled the village head behind him and said, "What do you want to do? If you have the ability, don't lead it. You are eating from the bowl, but you start cursing before you even put it down.

For someone like you, why would you rebuild your home? You should just go up to the mountains and become a bandit and rob people."

"That's right, after eating steamed buns for a few days, you think you can eat steamed buns every day. Even if there were no floods, how many times can you eat steamed buns at home throughout the year?

You're complaining about the thin porridge. Everyone here at home has a full stomach all year round. Now you're complaining about it even though you haven't done anything. If you're so capable, why are you waiting for disaster relief food?

Since this is from the imperial court, why didn't anyone even drink a bowl of water before Lord Lin came? "

Lin Chengyan's daughter-in-law Qiu Mei rushed to the front and roared at the crowd fiercely.

Almost all of them are farmers in the village, working hard in the fields all year round to make a living.

After hearing what Qiu Mei said, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

They were honest farmers, and the steamed buns they had eaten in the past few days were probably the most they had eaten in the whole year.

Moreover, before Lord Lin came, they couldn't even get a bowl of clean water to drink.

The officials in Luzhou didn't care about their lives and the granaries were never opened.

Since Lord Lin came, they have been able to eat enough, have a place to live, and see a doctor.

"What's going on? How are we going to survive? We have no food to eat and no home to return to. Are we going to have to beg for food along the way?"

"That's right. It's only been a few days, and we're out of food already? We should go to the granary and take a look. There must be a lot of food in there.

This is the first time in nearly a hundred years that Luzhou has encountered such a natural disaster. We, the people of Luzhou, have paid so much grain to the government for so many years.

Can't you feed us for ten days? We want to open the granary, we want to eat, we want to survive!" The man raised his arms high, and his deafening voice ignited the anger of the crowd.

They put down their bowls, raised their arms high, and walked towards the granary.

Those who had no ideas at first were also infected by the passionate scene and joined the team one after another.

The village head wanted to stop them, but there were too many people.

He could only prevent the villagers of Ping'an Village from going.

"Mrs. Lin, where are you going?" Seeing that Old Mrs. Lin was still trying to slip into the crowd, the head of the village shouted at her.

Mr. Lin grabbed Mrs. Lin's sleeve with a cold face and pulled her out of the crowd. "If you dare to go, I will divorce you."
