While Liang Shuyan was doing ideological work, Li Zheng stood over there shouting at the top of his lungs, "Listen carefully, everyone! Go to each household now and see if anyone has a sick person. Bring them to the tent immediately. There must be no concealment. Anyone who conceals or fails to report will cause the epidemic to break out in the village again. Don't blame me for being ruthless and completely expelling them from Daling Village!"

Jin Erniu was leading the group, and he waved his hand, saying, "Yes, sir!"

Thinking of her past life experiences, Liang Shuyan suddenly had an idea: "That's right, if any of you have any useless items, you can report them in advance. After we register them, a person in charge will deliver them to your door."

The shops in Daling Village had not yet opened, so Liang Shuyan instructed Jin Dashan, Zhao Heng, Li Pangdan, and others to go to town to make purchases.

The purchases were all made using village funds, and the horse-drawn carts and donkey carts used for the purchases all belonged to Liang Shuyan's family. The masks used by the purchasers were all obtained by Liang Shuyan from her personal space. With these things, Liang Shuyan finally felt at ease.

There are still infected migrants in the city, and it is currently unknown what specific measures the city is taking.

As a lady personally appointed by the Emperor, she naturally needs to be put to good use at critical times. With the epidemic raging like this, shouldn't she take the lead?

Thinking of this, Liang Shuyan summoned the magistrate, saying that such a big matter must be reported to the county magistrate, as we were still unclear about the situation in the city.

Li Zheng thought this made sense, so he spread out a piece of paper and told the county magistrate about the plague and the treatment methods.

Li Zheng looked at Liang Shuyan with some admiration: "Her aunt is really resourceful. I lost my composure when I was anxious. Such a big matter should have been reported to the magistrate."

When the magistrate received the letter, he was filled with gratitude and said excitedly, "Your Excellency, your idea is a timely help indeed."

Li Zheng said somewhat awkwardly, "No, sir, this is a letter written by Madam Dashan, also known as Ruren. The prescription was given by Old Lady Jin, and the words in the letter are what she wanted to tell you."

The magistrate gave an "oh," his gaze filled with a different kind of expression.

Liang Shuyan and Jin Daya were busy preparing a pot of medicinal soup and a pot of rice porridge.

The women inside the tent were all cursing and swearing, saying, "It's just a bowl of porridge! They're all blind fools fighting over it, what's the point?"

Liang Shuyan walked over and let out a long sigh: "What are you fighting over? Are you afraid there won't be enough? Don't worry, there's plenty of everything. As long as you all get better and go home, there will be plenty of things better than this!"

Jin Wang shamelessly said, "How can we get full from this watery soup? You brought us all here just to feed us this?"

Liang Shuyan said angrily, "Fine, since you think this bland soup isn't as good as your family's food, then don't eat it. There are people who don't mind bland soup."

As she spoke, she snatched the bowl from her hand.

People like Jin Wang should never be allowed to develop this bad habit!

Jin Wang immediately retorted, "You, you think this is your family's property? You can't just not give me any to eat. Let me tell you, this is village funds, not something you can decide."

Li Zheng arrived just in time: "What? Jin Wang, what are you saying? How much have you contributed to the village's funds? It's all thanks to Da Shan's mother taking out her own grain and buying the medicinal herbs herself. What's wrong with you? Don't you have any conscience at all? If that's how it is, then get out of Daling Village. Let's pretend that Daling Village doesn't have people like you!"

Jin Wang fell silent, staring at Li Zheng in front of him, and stammered, "Okay, then, I don't want it."

Apart from Jin Wang, everyone else in the room stared at each other, and the air seemed to freeze.

Li Zheng glanced at the people in the room and said very calmly, "Let me tell you, anyone who is like Jin Wang should step forward as soon as possible. After such a thing happened, even the county government did not settle the disaster victims so well so quickly. Medicine is medicine, porridge is porridge. Some people think this is a matter of course and do not take other people's good intentions to heart at all. Since that's the case, don't blame me, Li Zheng, for turning my back on you. Even if you are not convinced, leaving our Daling Village is not an option."

Seeing that Li Zheng said this, Liang Shuyan then said, "Never mind, Li Zheng, I didn't take it to heart. By the way, what did the magistrate say? Is the situation critical?"

Li Zheng shook his head: "The situation is not very optimistic. The county magistrate has already ordered people to buy medicine. Although the disaster victims have been separated, people are still coming one after another. The city gates are still tightly closed. This is not a solution."

“The situation in our village is relatively good right now. How about this, we send some people out to take medicine and food to the town to help. If the disaster in the town is not well contained, it will still affect our Daling Village!”

Upon hearing Liang Shuyan's words, Li Zheng said with great relief, "I'm glad you think this way. Well then, I've already treated the person, but the food is a bit of a problem, and I can't come up with much for the time being."

Thinking of the grain in her family, Liang Shuyan said, "It's alright, we still have some grain. We'll just take out 500 jin of grain."

Li Zheng felt somewhat guilty and said apologetically, "How can this be? It's just that some families are not doing well, and I really feel bad asking each family to donate some grain. How about this, as Li Zheng, I will take out 800 jin of grain. After the epidemic is over, I will talk to everyone again. Those who are willing to give can give, and those who are unwilling will make up for it for you. In short, I can't let you bear the burden."

Li Zheng shook his head: "No need. In comparison, my situation is better. Besides, since everyone calls me Madam, I should do this. Let's leave it at that. I'll have someone deliver the grain and herbs to the county government office now. Let's go to the county government office and help out with some things."

The two of them walked to the village entrance and saw that the villagers were all bringing some grain to the village entrance. When they saw Li Zheng, Old Liu said excitedly, "Li Zheng, this is a small token of our appreciation. Now is the time when we need grain. The villagers of Daling Village are able to get better thanks to Da Shan Niang and you, Li Zheng. We can't let you pay for us."

"That's right. When faced with such a plague, the lady took the lead in spending money to buy herbal medicine for us. We ordinary people should also do our part!"
