Chapter 312 Big Change
Seeing Jiang Tangtang's angry look, Lu Shiyan smiled and pinched her face. "Don't be angry yet, this is just my guess. But it's better to be safe than sorry, we have to be on guard."
Jiang Tangtang glared at him, "Don't touch me, or I'll fall down."
"Then I'll hold you tighter, be careful not to fall." After Lu Shiyan said that, he put his arms around Jiang Tangtang's waist tightly.
Jiang Tangtang was about to speak when he suddenly squeezed the horse's belly, increasing its speed, and the horse under him rushed out like a rocket.
Jiang Tangtang often ran with Lili, but now she was not afraid of such speed. Not only was she not afraid, but she felt that running against the wind was very free.
The two men rode their horses and soon arrived at Zhounan Village.
Doctor Xue has been treating Lu Shili's injuries in Zhounan Village these days.
Lu Shili had a broken bone in his leg, so he had to use a knife to remove the broken bone and then reconnect it.
In fact, if it were usual, he would probably not use surgery.
Firstly, surgery requires very high skills from the doctor, and secondly, many people cannot survive the surgery, and in the end their legs are not healed and the person dies.
Most people would choose not to have legs in order to save their lives.
But having been with Jiang Tangtang for a long time, and being an old doctor from the Valley of Divine Doctors, he could naturally see that many of the medicines Jiang Tangtang gave him were rare and good medicines in the world.
He didn't dare to think too deeply about the origin of the medicine, let alone let anyone notice anything unusual.
He usually handled the medicine Jiang Tangtang gave him personally.
Now, relying on the good medicine, he consulted the medical books given to him by Jiang Tangtang, and combined them with the ancient methods of the Divine Doctor Valley. Finally, he figured out a plan and performed surgery on Lu Shili.
Because good medicines were used and it was Doctor Xue who performed the surgery, the operation on Lu Shili's leg was very successful.
But I can't move in the near future and have to lie down and rest well.
Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lu Shili didn't come back, she prayed to God and Buddha, just asking for her youngest son to be alive.
Later, when her son came back, she heard that his leg bones were broken into pieces, and her heart was broken too.
How could my son, such a proud man, bear the fact that he could only lie in bed like a paraplegic?
Fortunately, Dr. Xue said there was a way to cure his son's legs and let him walk like a normal person.
Now that the operation was successful, Su was completely relieved. However, after her heart was relieved, she couldn't help but start thinking about her youngest son's marriage.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang coming back, Su wanted to ask her about Li Li.
But before she could even open her mouth, she heard that Jiang Tangtang was going to take Doctor Xue away. She was immediately shocked, "Has it been confirmed to be a plague?"
She had received the news before, but thinking that her daughter-in-law had been doing a good job in managing Lingnan, and that Lingnan had accepted countless refugees in the past few years without any problems, she couldn't help but feel lucky.
Jiang Tangtang nodded. "It's coming from Xirong. Refugees have already died outside the city gates, and the number of people falling ill is increasing. We need to quickly find out what kind of plague it is."
Su knew the priorities and knew that the plague was a big deal compared to her son's marriage.
It’s just that the youngest son has just returned with great difficulty, and the eldest son and his wife are about to take risks again.
Su's heart was in turmoil, but she couldn't stop her son and daughter-in-law from going. Finally, she could only hold back her tears and said, "Then I'll go and help you pack some food and clothes. Be sure to be careful when you go there."
"Mom, don't bother, I have everything prepared."
Seeing her mother-in-law trying to hold back tears, Jiang Tangtang added, "But please, mother, prepare a meal so we can eat before we leave."
When she heard that they were going to stay for dinner, Su didn't even bother to cry. She hurried to the kitchen and told the cook to prepare the food.
Jiang Tangtang took advantage of the time when Dr. Xue was checking Lu Shili's body and instructing him on medication and precautions to go to the experimental breeding farm in the bay.
The plague is important, but preventing locust plagues is equally important. Don't plant rice on the mudflats near the sea, only to have it all eaten by locusts.
Everyone worked in vain.
The bay today is very different from what it was a year ago.
The tidal flats that originally had only a few weeds growing sparsely are now planted with rice. From a distance, they look lush green.
Some vacant land that is not suitable for growing sea rice has been built into houses.
Jiang Tangtang arranged for a professional construction team to build these houses. In addition to considering whether the location would affect the cultivation of sea rice, the extreme climate of the seaside was also taken into consideration.
Therefore, most of the houses are built far away from the mudflats. Not only are they all made of bricks, but they also all have parapets.
Now, the workers working on the tidal flats have moved in.
However, they all live in large shared rooms with many people, and those with small courtyards are all locked separately.
Houses with small courtyards will be rewarded according to merit.
This was agreed upon early on.
Many people were envious of the small courtyards. When they saw Jiang Tangtang coming, the brave ones hurried over to ask, "Madam, what kind of merit do I need to achieve to live in that courtyard?"
As soon as one farmer asked, another farmer said, "We are all working in the fields. We are not leading troops to fight in the war. What achievements can we make?"
"That's not the case. Leading troops in battle has its merits, but farming also has its merits. Don't look down on agriculture; it's actually a science."
Jiang Tangtang dismounted calmly and said, "Without farmers cultivating the land and harvesting food, merchants, officers, and soldiers would have nothing to eat. Don't you agree? That's why I believe that agriculture is the foundation of governing a country. In fact, agriculture is also a science."
Hearing Jiang Tangtang's affirmation of the farmers, some old farmers who have been farming for a lifetime shed tears of excitement.
I don’t know who started the applause, but in an instant, there was a burst of enthusiastic applause around Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang said, "Agriculture also requires careful research to make progress. For example, during this drought, Manager Teng found the aloe vera and, after repeated trials, discovered the best way to grow it.
Today, the althaea seeds planted by Manager Teng can be fed to tens of thousands of people. Once this method spreads, we will have one more food to fight drought.
Isn't this a great achievement? Doesn't agriculture also need a spirit of research?"
Everyone felt that what Jiang Tangtang said made sense.
However, some people think that compared to Fujimi, Madam is more amazing. Madam has even figured out how to grow rice using seawater!
The sea rice that has been planted has begun to fill with grain, and it will not be long before the rice can be harvested.
Just thinking about it makes farmers feel happy.
There was even more enthusiastic applause from the audience, and many people responded, "Madam, you are right."
Jiang Tangtang didn't know that her speech today had changed the fate of countless people, and these people would make significant contributions to agriculture in the future.
