Chapter 2280: Picking up leftovers from other people’s meals
Chapter 2280: Picking up what others have eaten
“Are you sure it’s not an epidemic?!” Gu Jinli asked excitedly.
Sanqi nodded: "I'm sure, it's not an epidemic."
After hearing this, Gu Jinli breathed a sigh of relief.
Last night when Shi Yanfang came to ask for help, she said that a child had a rash. When Gu Jinli heard this, he was very worried about what kind of epidemic it was... After all, typhoid fever is the most likely to cause epidemics.
In ancient times, there was nothing. If a big epidemic broke out, everyone would have no choice but to wait for death.
Gu Jinli finally smiled: "Okay, I understand. Go tell Manager Min, he has been waiting."
"Yes." Sanqi turned around and left, went to the hospital to find Manager Min, and told him that it was not an epidemic.
After hearing this, Manager Min was half relieved, but Doctor Luo hasn't come back yet. I wonder if there is an epidemic in Shaliuwei?
But there is no point in rushing now, all we can do is wait.
Then he said to Sanqi: "Are you tired? If you're not tired, go to the medicinal house to help... too many people come to ask for medicine, and it's too busy over there."
Sanqi studied medicine and knew the importance of medicine at this time. Even if he was tired, he went to the medicinal house to help. He was busy until dark. But the next day, someone came to Changliang Wei again to ask for medicine.
He is from Shigangwei, and Mrs. Qianhu from Shigangwei is here.
But this time, Mrs. Qianhu of Shigang Guard came with an illness. She herself also had typhoid fever. She was afraid of being infected and did not dare to enter the guard house. She only waited for news in the camp outside.
After hearing this, Gu Jinli said: "Let the doctor from Yuanzi Medicine Store take a look. If it is not an epidemic, let her come in."
Qingpu Qinghui cannot go, and the two of them have to stay in case the two children get sick, and they need to be treated.
“Yes.” Erqing hurriedly went to do it.
The doctor from Yuanzi Medical Store quickly went to see Mrs. Qianhu of Shigangwei. Fortunately, it was just a common typhoid fever. He took a few injections, smelled some stink medicine, cleared his nose, and after taking the decoction, he was cured. Half done.
But Mrs. Qianhu of Shigangwei didn't dare to rest, so she hurriedly had someone carry her to see Gu Jinli.
Gu Jinli didn’t let her work and went to see her himself.
"Mrs. Qin, I'm so sorry. There is really nothing I can do. Please help our Shigang Guard one more time." Mrs. Lian cried.
She herself felt very embarrassed. First she came to borrow dry firewood, and then she came to borrow medicinal materials. However, the health center adjacent to Shigang Guard had no medicine available, so she had no choice but to shamelessly ask Chang Liang Wei.
With that said, he tremblingly took out an IOU and several banknotes and handed them to Gu Jinli: "You can take these banknotes first. If they are not enough, we will pay them back later... Please help Mrs. Qin."
Shigangwei also grew medicinal materials and sold them, and they made a lot of money from the sales, but they didn't dare to spend all the money to buy the medicine. They were really afraid that the food in the fields would not be harvested, so they had to save the money to buy food... As for waiting for Daokougou Camp Relief?
Ha, Mrs. Lian laughed... Last time when she was short of firewood, she begged Chang Liang Wei and spent money to buy dry firewood elsewhere. After burning for several days, the dry firewood from Daokougou Camp was sent to Shaliu Guard. .
This time he is sick and lacks life-saving medicine. If he waits for the medicine to be delivered from Daokougou Camp, he may die of illness and die before the medicine comes!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lian was filled with hatred and said in tears: "Coming to the northwest is hard enough, but we can't even provide life-saving medicinal materials in time... I sent someone to deliver a letter to Duchonggou. My husband wrote back and said that General Jiang went to Daokougou. I’ve been asking for medicine, but it’s been several days and I haven’t seen even a single piece of medicinal material!”
Gu Jinli said: "Mrs. Lian, please stop crying..."
Before he finished speaking, Erqing said: "Madam, Manager Min is here and said that Shigangwei's typhoid medicinal materials and Yuanzi Medicine are in stock, and he will send a doctor to Shigangwei to diagnose the disease."
"What?!" Mrs. Lian sat up from the kang in shock, and was about to get off the kang when she lifted the quilt, but was stopped by Gu Jinli: "Mrs. Lian, lie down quickly, you are just a little bit better, but you can't withstand such a toss." Mrs. Lian pointed at Erqing looked at her and asked: "Mrs. Qin, did you hear that? Yuanzi Medicine really wants to give us medicinal materials? Will it send a doctor to see us?"
Gu Jinli smiled and said, "I heard it, it's true."
She put the bank note and the IOU back into Mrs. Lian's hands and said, "Mrs. Lian doesn't need to give you any more money. Shigangwei has been saved. Don't worry."
“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...w yeah..." Mrs. Lian couldn't help but cry out... It's so painful. It's so painful. If I had known that disasters would continue in the northwest, she wouldn't have come here even if she reconciled with her husband!
"Mrs. Lian, don't cry. You are sick now. Crying will only make it more uncomfortable." After Gu Jinli covered Mrs. Lian with a quilt, he stood up and said, "I'm going to see Manager Min to ask about the situation. I'll explain it later." I’ll tell you when I get back.”
"Hey, Mrs. Qin, go quickly." Mrs. Lian wanted to go out to see Manager Min, but she was not dressed properly now, so it was difficult to go out.
After Gu Jinli saw Manager Min, he asked, "Have you really thought about it?"
Manager Min nodded: "Well, although it will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of medicinal materials, it's worth it!"
Because of the Min Dong family's affairs, Yuanzi Medicine Store has been suppressed by Emperor Jingyuan for twenty years. Emperor Jingyuan is a domineering man who wants pure ministers who listen to his words. If Yuanzi Medicine Store does not care about gains and losses at this time, it will help everyone Emperor Jingyuan would be delighted when he found out about the medicinal materials sent by the Wei Institute, so that the life of Min Dong's family and Yuanzi Medicine would be easier.
but…
“This must be done in the name of His Majesty.”
If the name was not clearly defined, and Xu You said that it was he who asked Yuanzi Medicine to do this, wouldn't they have wasted the medicinal materials and offended Emperor Jingyuan?
The Mindong family may even lose their lives.
Gu Jinli was very impressed when she heard this, but she still felt: "What a loss, it's more than 100,000 taels of silver."
If it were her, she wouldn't be able to let him go, and she would be in pain for the rest of her life!
Manager Min smiled and said: "The reason why Yuanzi Medicine Company uses the word Yuanzi as its name is because I want to use myself as a source to nourish all the lands. What I do now is just to inherit the ambition of my ancestor, so why lose money?"
He spoke very openly, with a relaxed smile on his face, which showed that he was very happy to make this decision.
However, Gu Jinli still asked: "If the manager does this, he won't be executed by Yuanzi Medicine Company, right?"
After all, there are so many medicinal materials, just spread out like this.
Manager Min glared at her: "Of course not. I am the manager and I have the right to decide the use of the collected medicinal materials."
He added: "Stop talking nonsense, we still need help from Gu Xiaodong's family on this matter."
"If the chief steward has any instructions, just tell me and I will do it!" Gu Jinli was happy to help.
Manager Min was not polite to her: "Immediately send someone to deliver a message to the Duchonggou camp and ask Qin Qianhu to personally inform General Jiang that our Yuanzi Medicine Store is following the order of Emperor Jingyuan to release medicine to save the people."
"I'll send someone to do it immediately." Gu Jinli didn't waste any time and immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Qin Sanlang.
Manager Min did not delay. By sending medicine to Shigangwei and sending it to the doctor, he spread the news that Yuanzi Medicine Store was ordered by Emperor Jingyuan to release medicine to save the people.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was crazy with joy and rushed to Chang Liang Wei to get the medicine.
