Chapter 2087 Arrangement
Not only did they come in person, they also brought donations from various academies, led by the Imperial College. All the donations were converted into medicinal herbs and cloth in the capital and sent here.
That's why the convoy is so long.
At this time, a group of students were waiting to see Yang Heshu in the county government office.
Young General Gong looked at the people standing in the courtyard, frowned, and quickly walked up to Yang Heshu. Seeing that he was still processing official documents, he couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Why aren't you anxious? There are so many students outside. Is the court helping us or causing trouble for us?"
Yang Heshu said calmly, "Of course they are helping us. The young general is too dismissive of the Imperial College. They are not weak in ability, especially those who have the courage and determination to come here."
He raised his head and glanced outside, then smiled faintly and said, "If you ask me, once they become familiar with the chores, they'll be more effective than the county officials."
As for students, once they master the skills, they will be able to contribute to you, the people, and the entire country without any regrets, without worrying about gains and losses.
Those who think they are a burden are most likely those who don't know how to use them.
Yang Heshu finished reviewing the documents in his hand, put down his pen, stood up, and said, "Let's go and see our warriors. They dare to come to Xiazhou City at this time. They are supreme warriors."
Yang Heshu himself was from the Imperial College, and everyone present had to call him senior. With this status, and his reputation for talent and virtue, he was an idol for many students of the Imperial College, making it particularly convenient for him to order them around.
Of course, Xiazhou City does not need so many people, and Yang Heshu did not plan to keep everyone in Xiazhou City.
Moreover, the governor is still under house arrest by him. Although Yang Heshu is only the magistrate of Guo County, from the outbreak of the epidemic to the present, the other three counties under Xiazhou have also obeyed his orders.
No, it should be said that they are listening to the orders of the Inspectorate, and now the orders of the Inspectorate are managed by Yang Heshu.
Originally, other officials under the Governor's Office, such as the Chief Secretary, also had many opinions about Yang Heshu. After all, he did not "get the position" in a legitimate way. But official documents soon came from the capital, promoting Yang Heshu to act as the agent for the government affairs of Xiazhou. Later, the capital sent imperial doctors and medicinal materials, so they had to keep their opinions to themselves.
Even the deputy governor and chief secretary in the city now obey Yang Heshu's orders, not to mention the other three counties under its jurisdiction.
However, Yang Heshu did not interfere much in the affairs of other counties. He just gave some suggestions on how to resist smallpox and copied the prescriptions written by the imperial doctors and sent them over.
Now that there are enough people, Yang Heshu wants to train all these younger students, and then go to the mountains and villages to find all the smallpox patients.
Yang Heshu took time off from dinner to entertain his fellow students at the best restaurant in Xiazhou City.
The restaurant had just reopened for less than three days and was extremely happy to welcome such a large group of customers. Yin Huo passed by Yang Heshu while they were ordering food.
Yang Heshu went out with him.
The two stood outside the private room and talked, "Xiaoxue Yang, where are Bai Shan and the others?"
He hadn't seen Bai Shan in the county government office just now, and he didn't see him at dinner either. Given Yang Heshu's thoughtfulness, if Bai Shan and Bai Er were there, he should have asked them to come over just to let the classmates meet.
Yang Heshu said, "They went to inspect the villages and towns."
He glanced at Yin Huo, and seeing that he looked fine, he asked with a smile, "Why did your family let you come?"
Yin Huo smiled slightly and said, "My classmates all have great ambitions and benevolence. Although I cannot enter the government, I also have a heart to help the world. My family does not want my wish to be disappointed, so they agreed."
He had no idea that Yang He had written the letter. Not to mention Old Madam Yin, even Yin Li would not agree to let him go to such a dangerous place.
But the fact is that Yin Huo did come.
Yang Heshu didn't delve into the details, but after considering his physical condition, he said, "You should just stay in the city and provide support."
Yin Huo smiled and nodded, then asked, "Where is Doctor Zhou?"
"She's in the medical tent and won't come out easily," Yang Heshu said after a pause, "and you shouldn't go in either. It's not easy for people who enter the epidemic area to get out."
Only he and Major General Gong could go in and out once a day. Others, even those who were delivering supplies or patients, would be picked up at the checkpoint.
When Imperial Physician Lu and his companions met for a meeting, they would take a carriage directly to the other courtyard and then take another carriage back, without stopping or getting off along the way...
Moreover, Yin Huo's body was not suitable for going to overly dangerous places. Even though Yang Heshu was not a doctor, he knew that weak people were more likely to contract smallpox.
Yin Huo did not force it. He had always been a man of integrity, but it was not that he was unwilling to listen to advice. Moreover, his personality made him unwilling to cause trouble for others.
The people entering the city were divided into several groups and settled down. Zhou Lizhong and his food were sent back to the rented courtyard by Zhou Silang and his men, while the tenants in Putian Village took the food and some travel expenses they were given and turned around and headed south again.
After walking for half a day, they arrived back at the inn where they had rested last night, and they all stayed there.
They had credentials, so the post stations did not refuse them, and it was easier for them to pass through the checkpoints than for others.
They made a lot of money on this trip. After all, it was winter and people were staying at home. They could make a lot of money by delivering a batch of goods to their boss.
Doctors like Zhou Liru and Liu Sanniang were directly assigned to different places after entering the city. They were only organized together after seeing the current conditions of all the medical tents and branch hospitals.
Doctor Lu had been severely sleep-deprived these days, so except for Zhou Liru, he wrote down the numbers of the medical tents and other hospitals for all the doctors who came to help and asked them to draw lots. Whoever drew the number would go to whichever hospital, and he didn't care if they changed places privately.
He said, "Whether you're from the common people, the Imperial Hospital, or the Imperial Medical Bureau, you've learned how to take a pulse, right? Here are some prescriptions for your symptoms. Here's the existing list of medicines. Please prescribe the right prescription from the existing list."
Everyone: ...Is it that difficult? They don't even have all the herbs.
Doctor Lu continued, "If the medicine in the prescription is no longer on the menu, you should think of a substitute. If you can't think of one, consult Doctor Zhou, Doctor Jin, Doctor Hua, as well as Doctor Zheng and I. We can then work together to revise the prescription. It's better to be slow than to make a mistake. It's better to be slow than to prescribe the wrong medicine for the patient. Do you all understand this principle?"
Manbao and everyone else nodded and said "yes".
Doctor Lu was satisfied, distributed the prescription and medicine list to everyone, then turned and left.
Zheng Gu couldn't help but approach his master and said, "It seems that Doctor Lu's temper is getting worse."
Manbao lowered his voice and said, "He hasn't gotten enough sleep recently and he's old, so please understand."
Manbao sighed and said, "It must be the menopause mentioned in the book. We should be more considerate of the elderly."
Zheng Gu: ...I have a feeling that Imperial Physician Lu wouldn't be too happy if he knew Master's idea.
See you at 10pm
