After receiving the instructions, the villagers looked a little more lively and went home to get busy.
Old Master Tai offered a helping hand at the right moment, saying, "Wolf claws are extremely venomous. Many people who have been injured by them have gone mad years later. Don't be reluctant to spend money on medicine and give them random treatment at home. Send them to the city clinic immediately!"
Village Chief Zhang responded subconsciously, "There are no carriages in the village..."
"We have one in our village!" The old man immediately asked an old soldier to go back and drive the cart.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Zhangjia Village, the injured villagers also came over, and there were actually seven or eight of them together.
Village Chief Zhang expressed his gratitude. The old man waved his hand and sighed, "Things aren't peaceful right now, so the village patrol can't withdraw! We'll have to wait for a heavy snowfall before we can rest assured!"
Village Chief Zhang also regretted it. "I was really careless this time. I thought I wouldn't have to worry about the crops in the fields. I never thought..."
The old man patted him on the shoulder and said, "First, see a doctor. If you have nothing else to do, come visit us often. We are all neighbors, and it's only natural for us to keep in touch and lend a hand."
As they were talking, they arrived at Taijia Village.
Village chief Zhang jumped on a carriage and took the villagers to the city to see a doctor for their injuries, and the old man also returned home.
Uncle Tai San led the men in the village to build a wall, and they were busy.
At dusk, everyone in Zhangjia Village returned and returned the carriage.
When it was completely dark, He Shan also came back with the news.
His face didn't look good, which made the old man and Mr. Tai San look strange.
"What happened? Why are you unhappy? Were you bullied?" Old Man Tai poured him hot tea to dispel the cold.
He Shan drank it all in one breath and responded, "Uncle, clan leader, the beasts came down the mountain last night because someone was behind it."
The first thing the old man thought of was his enemy, and he thought about it in his mind.
Unexpectedly, He Shan's next sentence was, "Aren't the nobles of Kyoto coming to the palace? I heard they're going into the mountains to hunt, so the guards who came ahead set off firecrackers to drive out the big wild animals in the mountains to prevent too many wild animals from scaring the nobles!"
Master Tai was so angry that he started cursing, "Are these people crazy? They're afraid of disturbing the nobles, but they're not afraid of the common people getting hurt? These big beasts can't stay in the mountains, so of course they have to go down!"
Old Man Tai's face also darkened. Fortunately, his village had gained experience after being attacked by a pack of wolves, and the patrol team had been working diligently and discovered the danger in time.
Otherwise, the number of people from the village going to the city to see a doctor for their injuries today would definitely be no less than that from Zhangjia Village!
"Great Wei, it's really... the end of treating the people like this!" Old Master Tai couldn't help but sigh, feeling very disappointed.
Master Tai San quickly pulled him aside and said, "Keep your voice down. You can't say this carelessly. If someone spreads this, you'll be in trouble."
After that, he added, "No, tomorrow I'll tell everyone to behave themselves. Don't go out as much as possible these days, and be careful not to offend those nobles from Kyoto."
As he spoke, he could no longer bear his impatience and hurried off to look for the villagers.
Taijia Village built an earthen wall to protect against wild beasts. Seeing this, the other villages quickly followed suit.
It just requires some manpower. Now that the crops in the fields have been harvested, there is no big work for anyone to do. It is just a matter of mixing mud and building walls. Everyone needs to work hard to protect the whole village like a fortress.
Especially Zhangjia Village, they are regretting it so much. If they had realized this earlier, they would not have suffered such a shock!
For a while, several villages became busy, and there were very few people entering and leaving the city, which made the area within a radius of twenty or thirty miles much quieter.
Just when the earthen walls of each village were half built, a large group of people finally arrived on the official road a hundred miles away.
There were hundreds of carriages carrying luggage and supplies, plus more than a thousand nobles and servants, and the team stretched for seven or eight miles.
It can be said that the carriages and horses in front have entered the palace, while the people behind have not yet left the post station.
Such a spectacular sight is rare, and it attracted the people living near the official road to run to watch the excitement, and then kneel on the roadside for most of the day. It was so painful that it was difficult for them to get up, and they kept cursing in their hearts!
The palace had been prepared for a long time. The damaged palace was repaired, the weeds in the courtyards were cleared, the doors and windows were replaced, and it was cleaned thoroughly. Unexpectedly, it still made many nobles dissatisfied.
The Sixth Prince brought officials from the provincial capital and the magistrates of several counties in Tai'an to welcome the emperor and kowtow to him.
I originally thought that even if I didn't have any credit, I must have worked hard. I never expected that not only was I not praised, but I was also scolded and pointed at my nose!
These nobles from Kyoto didn't care whether this was the poorest place in the north or not. They still demanded that everything be like the gentle land of Kyoto, with everything being exquisite and luxurious everywhere!
The officials in the prefecture and several county magistrates kept smiling, explaining and apologizing non-stop. As for what they felt, there was no need to say...
After finally waiting for the emperor to enter the palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had seen the real person and could finally have some peace and quiet.
As a result, the emperor refused to see them and held a banquet with the concubines he brought with him, enjoying music and dancing every night...
At this time, not to mention the officials who still had some loyalty in their hearts, even those villains who were eager to curry favor with the nobles and climb up the ladder were disheartened.
Is the Wei Dynasty really rotten to the core?
The Sixth Prince had been like an invisible man, listening to the suppressed and angry accusations of the crowd. He stepped forward and saluted everyone.
"My lords, I'm so sorry! You've been so busy these past few days, and it's really hard for you. I'll host a party some other day, and invite you all to enjoy the snow and drink wine, and then I'll apologize to you all."
All the officials were stunned for a moment, then became a little frightened and blushed.
