at this time.
The disaster relief grain sent by the imperial court has already arrived.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xun had already recounted what Lu Chao had done that had caused the plague.
Zhu Sheng smiled calmly, "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I will soon report this person's human trafficking during the disaster to the bigwigs in the court."
After everyone left.
The advisor smiled and said, "Sir, are you really planning to deal with Lu Chao?"
Zhu Sheng smiled and said, "This person is too out of touch with reality. He did something of great importance, but didn't he know to consult with his superiors?"
He brought this upon himself, and now I'm taking care of him!
Doesn't this just prove that I deal with corrupt officials with iron-fisted methods?
Zhu Sheng grasped the white jade paperweight on the table and chuckled, "Just like the registrar of Quannan County, who's temporarily without his local official? If he doesn't get promoted, who will?"
"Once the decree from above is issued, write a separate official gazette, and write a short biography for these two people so that those below can read it."
"Sir, brilliant! Truly brilliant, I admire you greatly."
...
A night passed.
The doctor used those prescriptions to give to the refugees.
A yamen runner went to the county government office to report the incident.
"My lord! The doctor said that the prescription is indeed effective."
Many people who were too sick to get out of bed were actually able to stand up and walk a few steps.
"Really?" Su Yong sighed.
"That's great!"
Whether they were refugees or city dwellers, they were all saved.
And the Lu family mansion.
Lu Chengfeng's condition is getting worse.
*Splat*
The sound of a porcelain cup shattering.
"Idiots! They're all idiots!"
"You can't even cure such a minor illness!"
The servants around him trembled with fear, while the doctor in the distance wished he could flee overnight.
A servant whispered, "Sir, I heard that the magistrate's prescription is a 1:2:1 ratio of honeysuckle, forsythia, and scutellaria. Should we give it a try?"
The villages below, it is said, have not contracted severe cases of the plague; they have only experienced mild symptoms. Coughing, and not even high fever!
The young man on the bed was pale and covered in cold sweat.
The towel on his forehead was quickly dried.
"Alright..."
"Never mind, I'll brew the medicine myself."
They worked for half an hour.
The medicinal soup was brought over very quickly.
The maid helped the young master up, then gently blew on the hot water with a spoon.
But... it won't go in!
Lu Chao said in a deep voice, "I'll do it." He leaned back and went to the kitchen to get the funnel.
After washing it clean, Lu Chao directly shoved the strainer into the boy's mouth.
Then start pouring water down from the top to make your back hurt.
The boy struggled to twist his body.
They still poured out a large bowl of medicine.
A violent coughing sound.
Lu Chao then realized a problem, and his face darkened.
I forgot!
It's getting cold...
never mind.
After tossing and turning for a while, I leaned back in my chair and quickly drifted off to sleep.
In my confusion, I seemed to hear the sound of a rooster crowing.
...
"father!"
Lu Chao opened his eyes, looked at the sky outside, and then noticed that his son was calling him.
"Chengfeng...is awake?"
"Um."
"It's good that you're alright."
...
at this time.
A group of imperial envoys arrived in Yingzhou Prefecture and began distributing and sending grain.
They took in displaced people.
Many imperial envoys were resting in their official residences.
Meanwhile, the Secretariat in the capital received news from Zhou Xun and Zhu Sheng.
He was quickly enraged and issued an imperial decree.
Order the imperial envoy from Yingzhou Prefecture to investigate the matter immediately. Once the information is verified, strip this person of his official position and send him to Lingnan to grow bananas.
One of the slightly overweight imperial envoys said, "We're going to be delayed for a while. Someone's really courting death."
Another ten days or so passed.
The government of Yingzhou Prefecture began distributing steamed buns to the refugees in the disaster area.
Some officials even stood aside and began sketching Zhu Sheng and the imperial envoy, specifically the scene where they were distributing steamed buns.
For a time, everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.
Meanwhile, some displaced people were discussing why the government's disaster relief grain was delayed for so long.
Someone retorted, "Don't you know that if we commoners eat this grain, the more people die, and the more grain is left over, the more mansions and concubines the higher-ups can buy..."
In other words, we're eating adult food right now.
The others paused for a moment.
...
The Chen family in Qingxia Village.
The Chen family seemed even more lively than usual today.
Since I transmigrated here.
Chen Xian falls asleep promptly before eight o'clock every night.
I wake up promptly at five o'clock.
Chen Xian counted down the days.
The annual Mid-Autumn Festival should be here in a few days.
Dazhu got up early in the morning and moved the manure bucket from the yard to the vegetable garden to water it.
"Father, I heard that yesterday a few old men couldn't hold on and ran away, falling headfirst into the ditch. They couldn't get up for a long time, and when they got up early this morning, their mouths were crooked and their eyes were slanted."
Chen Xian nodded, indicating that he must have injured his brain.
Whatever.
Chen Xian inquired at his uncle's house to see if they had any molds.
He had seen how mooncakes were made on a short video app.
Place the prepared mooncakes into the mold.
Compact it, invert it, and with a ping-pong sound!
Most of the molds have intertwined floral patterns or textured designs.
Chen Xian scribbled and drew on paper, designing several molds.
The text contains words such as "egg yolk".
A simple animal design, in the style of the Chinese zodiac, but unfortunately, it became distorted as it was drawn.
For example, you might want to draw a cute Pikachu, but as you draw, it turns into a chubby yellow guy with a lewd smile.
