"Do you have any remedy for the plague?"
After hearing these novel methods of preventing the plague, Governor Chu suddenly felt that the girl in front of him might have a way to cure the plague.
"Yes, but there are many kinds of plague. I don't know which one it will be. I'll write them all down, and you can prescribe the right medicine."
Although Gao Zhijun felt that the possibility of plague was high, she still thought that for safety reasons, she should write down all the prescriptions for treating the plague so that she would not have to be afraid of the plague in the future.
"Young lady, do you know many prescriptions for plagues?"
Governor Chu was so excited that he wanted to kneel down to her.
If there really were prescriptions to cure the plague, we would never be afraid of the plague again.
People no longer have to die from plague, nor do they have to experience massacres of cities, counties, towns, and villages.
"Yes, because I have something to do. I will send the prescription tomorrow and then tell the adults about the plague."
Thinking that the original owner's grandmother and her family were still waiting for her at the inn, she didn't want to stay here any longer.
“No, wait a moment, I’ll go to the inn to find you.
The sooner I can get the prescription for curing the plague, the sooner I can report it to the court and take preventative measures."
Prefect Chu wanted to write the memorial tonight and have his personal bodyguard deliver it to the capital at one o'clock tomorrow to present it to the emperor.
He couldn't possibly hand over such an important matter to someone else; he didn't feel at ease.
"In that case, please prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I will write it down now. You don't have to go there."
Gao Zhijun thought that when she returned to the inn, her grandmother's family would definitely have a lot to ask her, and she didn't have time to deal with the prefect.
"Okay, young lady, please follow me to the study."
Magistrate Chu excitedly took Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian to the study.
"By the way, what's your name, young lady?"
Only now did Magistrate Chu realize that he seemed to not know the girl's name.
"Gao Zhijun, a commoner woman, is from Gaoling Village, Xiangyang County."
Gao Zhijun replied.
"Miss Gao, please!"
When they arrived at the study, Magistrate Chu asked Gao Zhijun to sit on his chair and helped her grind ink.
She is probably the first person to receive such treatment.
Gao Zhijun was flattered and stunned for a moment, then she sat down without any pretense and began to memorize the prescription for the plague.
Write down the remedies for the six plagues you know, and also write down the symptoms that the plague will cause.
Even drawings were drawn showing what precautions should be taken against the plague and how patients should be isolated.
"Sir, if there is a plague, you must do as directed above and ensure that it is kept to a minimum."
"I may have to leave Liangzhou in two or three days. I hope you can bring the villagers here as soon as possible."
Depending on the weather, it may rain for ten consecutive days, or even more than ten days at most. By then, this place will become a vast ocean and a world of water.
It’s better to leave early so that it will be safer on the road.
"The girl wants to leave? Why?"
Prefect Chu was shocked. Miss Gao left in such a hurry. What big thing might have happened?
“Yes, sir.
To be honest, I have a little knowledge about astronomical observation, and this rain may continue for ten days, or even longer.
By then, this place will become a vast ocean. I plan to leave for Taizhou in three days. I heard that the place has beautiful mountains and rivers and is suitable for living.
If the heavy rain continues for about seven days, I hope you will consider the people and let them leave."
Gao Zhijun did not hide anything. She told Prefect Chu frankly and hoped that Prefect Chu could make preparations in advance.
As for whether he believed her words or not, Gao Zhijun didn't want to speculate. It was none of her business.
She didn't want to see the people sacrifice in vain, so she did her duty and reminded the prefect.
From now on, the life and death of the people will be left to the prefect and God.
She can't take care of the world.
Because she is not strong enough, she can only take care of her own little piece of land.
"I will definitely keep this in mind. Miss Gao, have a safe journey."
Prefect Chu believed Gao Zhijun's words without a doubt. Such an intelligent woman would not lie.
"Goodbye, my lord!"
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she walked out of the study.
Huo Jinqian walked past Governor Chu, who said, "Mr. Huo, Miss Gao is a good girl. You must treat her well."
In fact, he had seen from the beginning that the two were not siblings. The way Master Huo looked at her was not the eyes of a brother and sister, but the way he looked at her as a girl he admired, just like the way he looked at his wife, a look that was doting, gentle, yet possessive and passionate.
Huo Jinqian was stunned for only a moment, then he came back to his senses and said with a polite smile, "I will. She is my life!"
Prefect Chu smiled and nodded in response to his words.
Huo Jinqian followed Gao Zhijun to the main gate of the government office, where Magistrate Chu's groom was waiting in a carriage.
Huo Jinqian let Gao Zhijun get on the carriage first, and then he followed.
After Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian left, Governor Chu began to write a memorial.
All the memorials were about what Gao Zhijun said: "A severe drought will inevitably be followed by a severe flood, and after a severe flood there will inevitably be a severe epidemic."
He copied the plague prescription written by Gao Zhijun and drew the pattern accordingly. He then sent Gao Zhijun's prescription along with the memorial to the capital.
In the memorial, he did not dare to take credit for it and simply stated that all of this was said by Gao Zhijun.
He gave all the credit to Gao Zhijun.
He called the lawyer, repeated what Gao Zhijun had said, and then told the lawyer to prepare.
Since the heavy rain will continue for more than ten days, this place will become a vast ocean, and he must resettle the people in advance.
Let them leave after five days, temporarily take shelter in Youzhou, and come back after the flood recedes.
