Lin Jinyue thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Let everyone hand in some wild fruits and food every day, and then say that we don't have enough manpower and medicine."
Jiang Yun said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but they can't even protect themselves, how can they provide food?"
Lin Jinyue took a tough stance this time: "Those who are willing to give can come, but those who are not willing, we will not treat them in the future, even with medicinal herbs."
They chose to work together in the beginning because they thought they could help each other. Her family made the herbs for free, and they couldn't treat them like slaves. They really couldn't finish making the medicinal powder.
Jiang Yun still felt that something was not right. Letting her daughter learn medicine would not only mean less food, but also less labor for the family. Even though the child is young, a ten-year-old girl can cook for the family and pick wild fruits and herbs... People might not be willing to let her go.
This is the only solution for now.
But she was really too busy and needed someone to help her. She didn't want her daughter to be so tired and busy with the construction of the farm, and she also had to find time to work for her.
Children aged eight or nine are in the period of growth, how can they work so hard?
Lin Jinyue did not waste any time and went straight to the village chief to tell him about this.
It was not yet dark and there was still some light, so everyone was summoned.
Lin Jinyue went straight to the point and told the village chief what she had just discussed with Jiang Yun.
But the village chief's reaction surprised her a little.
Lin Youcai was stunned. "Third brother, this is embarrassing. This is the Jiang family's unique skill. How can you teach it casually?"
Lin Jinyue was stunned for a moment. This was confusing her. She was not considering handing over the grain, but was surprised that her mother was willing to teach the family's unique skills to others.
Lin Jinyue almost forgot that in modern times, these simple medical common sense can be easily found by searching on the Internet. However, it was different in ancient times. Not to mention medical skills, even a recipe was someone else’s unique secret book and was very precious.
After a while, her expression returned to normal, and she said beautifully: "I can teach you. We have been through thick and thin together, and we are friends who have risked our lives for each other. From now on, we will be a family. My mother's medical skills must also be passed on. If you have good character, I will teach you everything I know once we find a place to stay."
The eyes of the group lit up.
"Yes..."
Lin Jinyue looked at their attitudes and had a clue in her mind. She changed the subject: "My mother can teach, but our family has encountered some problems. The main reason is that we are too busy. The preparation of medicinal materials, the making of medicinal powder, and pills are very troublesome. We also have to escape famine. How can we have so much time to make medicinal powder? Medicinal materials are also in short supply. If I teach the sisters in the village, they will have to help make medicinal powder and find medicinal materials when they have time."
Lin Jinyue looked at them eagerly and continued to make bargaining chips:
"My mother will definitely teach you well. At least for simple cases like headaches and fevers, you will be able to treat them yourself in the future. If you learn well and have talent, my mother's ancestors were imperial physicians. However, my brother and I are not very interested and are not willing to learn from her."
Lin Jinyue thought that her mother's medical skills were second to none in modern times, so if she came from ancient times, she should have the skills of an imperial physician.
If Jiang Yun is willing to teach medical skills, these people will definitely be willing to learn.
When the villagers heard that their ancestors had an imperial physician, they became even more excited.
Lin Jinyue just mentioned that everyone has to hand in food every day to feed these girls. Otherwise, they have to study medicine and work at the same time. Who can bear it?
With the previous preparation, Lin Shucheng didn't need to waste any more words, and everyone agreed that grain must be handed over.
As for the lack of a labor force in the family?
Are you eager to send your children to study? Those who have two daughters want to send both of them to study.
Didn’t you hear from Lin Laosan that his wife’s ancestors were imperial physicians and left behind many books. She must have a good talent to continue her studies in Lingnan?
Everyone was more excited than the other, and they had to grit their teeth to save the food.
Not to mention other things, just knowing how to recognize and prepare herbs can help you make a lot of money in the future.
Lin Youcai's granddaughter and her third uncle's daughter, needless to say, must be taught. As long as their talents are not too bad, Jiang Yun will continue to teach them according to the attitude of both families.
After a while, the Wang family and the Lin family also came over.
The Wang family was considered a wealthy family in the village before, but now they are not allowed to participate in many core affairs because they are outsiders.
Wang Laosan asked tentatively: "Can my Miaomiao learn along with me?"
Lin Jinyue: "Anyone, anyone, as long as they are girls, they can learn together."
At this time, the blacksmith felt a little uncomfortable. They did not share the joys and sorrows with Lin Jinyue. He came in halfway and he also wanted his two nieces to learn some skills.
It's just food, he can get it! Even if he gritted his teeth and paid more food and some silver, he wanted his two nieces to learn some skills.
The blacksmith said, "If we give some money and some food, can my two nieces also learn from us?"
At this time, Lin Fugui also came over and said, "I will also pay money, can you let Goudan learn with you?"
Lin Jinyue didn't expect the villagers to be so welcoming, so she said, "No."
The blacksmith's heart was in his throat.
But Lin Jinyue's next sentence was: "The two sisters from Uncle Xiao's family can come and learn. You can pay as much grain as the villagers pay. You don't have to pay money. But boys are not allowed. My mother only teaches girls."
If the quota was opened up for boys, Lin Jinyue could imagine how miserable these girls would be in ancient times when boys were valued more than girls. Families that could allow boys to come out would definitely keep the girls to work, and what was waiting for the girls would be to obey their family's instructions and get married in exchange for the dowry to marry their younger brothers.
Lin Jinyue didn't like these bad habits of ancient times. In addition to wanting the girls in the village to help with the housework, she also wanted to give the girls another way out.
Seeing her firm attitude, Lin Fugui had no choice but to give up.
The blacksmith, on the other hand, was extremely grateful that Jiang was willing to bring them in halfway through to learn together.
The blacksmith wanted to slap himself twice at this moment. He had framed Lin Jinyue before, thinking that the girl was too young to handle the important task. How could he be so blind at that time?
*
Lin Jinyue didn't expect it to be so smooth. The villagers handed over the grain quickly, and some of the grain and fruits were specially given to her family as a thank you to her mother.
Jiang Yun did not waste any time. She drove Lin Shucheng and Lin Xueqing out, and then asked the ten or so girls to squeeze into the tent and started teaching.
Jiang Yun originally wanted to say something about studying medicine. When she first started studying Chinese medicine, she was often forced by her grandfather to recite "The Great Physician's Oath", which was a compulsory course for beginners.
Unexpectedly, a group of girls knelt in a row, kowtowed to her and called her "Master".
Jiang Yun was frightened by the scene and hurriedly wanted to call them to get up, but was held back by Lin Jinyue. After watching the ten of them bow deeply, Lin Jinyue let them get up.
Although they are modern people at heart and do not believe in kneeling and worshipping masters to learn skills, this is ancient times and Lin Jinyue feels that the necessary etiquette should not be omitted.
Otherwise, it will be too easy and someone will not cherish it.
Jiang Yun spoke to the ten girls in a gentle voice, "Studying medicine is very hard and tiring. Life in this world is already difficult for women. If you are willing to endure this hardship, your future will be bright. Since you call me Master, I will teach you everything I know. But there are a few points, you must listen carefully..."
Jiang Yun was teaching his little apprentice in the tent, and the people outside were so excited.
They all came to the tent, wanting to hear how Jiang Yun taught her children.
There are also those families who only have boys and no girls. They all slap their thighs and say it’s such a pity that there are no girls.
