Chapter 318 Refugee Riot
However, Jiang Tangtang did not have smooth sailing in seeking help from modern medicine.
Apart from anything else, the production of antibiotics alone would be enough to stump her.
Fortunately, good news came the next day. After taking the medicine sent by Jiang Tangtang, the conditions of all patients were relieved.
It seems that the spiritual spring in the space and the medicinal herbs containing spiritual energy are equally effective for patients suffering from the epidemic.
However, it is still unclear whether it can achieve a complete cure.
Jiang Tangtang, who couldn't come up with antibiotics, decided to continue using spiritual springs and medicinal herbs containing spiritual energy for the patients.
However, he replaced her honeysuckle vines and other medicinal herbs with prescriptions that Doctor Xue had memorized from ancient books.
Jiang Tangtang compared the prescription given by Doctor Xue and began to look for medicinal materials in the medicine field in the space.
Medicinal herbs such as Rehmannia glutinosa, Angelica sinensis, Licorice, Forsythia suspensa, Safflower, and Magnolia officinalis have already been planted in the space, so it is easy to deal with.
The other ingredients needed are peach kernels, rhino horns, and antelope horns, which are also simple.
There were peach trees planted in the space, so all I had to do was pick some peaches and get the kernels. As for antelope horns, the space also had them, so I just had to kill a few.
Rhino horn... Jiang Tangang was a little reluctant to kill the rhino, but he could consider how to take a few rhino horns as medicine without killing the rhino.
On the contrary, she did not plant things like Pueraria root, which are not rare and take up space, in the space.
However, she has collected the seeds of these medicinal herbs, so she just needs to plant them now.
Coupled with the extremely fast growth rate of plants in space, all medicinal herbs will soon be able to use the space.
Jiang Tangtang planted all the necessary medicinal herbs in the field, and ruthlessly pulled out some strawberries, leaving an extra piece of land for growing medicinal herbs in case of emergency.
She was reluctant to throw away the pulled strawberries, so she found some empty clay pots and planted the pulled strawberry seedlings in them to make potted plants, which she placed in the villa as potted plants.
The space is full of spiritual energy. Even if the strawberry seedlings are planted in the clay pot without being taken care of, they will still be full of big and red strawberries, and the whole villa is filled with the sweet fragrance of strawberries.
Although it was hard work, Jiang Tangtang felt happy when she smelled the sweet fragrance in the air.
She picked a large plate of strawberries, enjoyed them, then rolled up her sleeves and continued working.
Soon, Jiang Tangtang replaced the medicine given to the patients with the prescription that Xue Banxian gave him.
At the beginning, in addition to using other medicinal herbs instead of rhino horns, many ordinary medicinal herbs were mixed with medicinal herbs containing spiritual energy in the space.
After the medicinal herbs planted behind the space could be harvested, Jiang Tangtang replaced all the herbs with those grown in the space. In addition, after receiving her letter, Lu Shiyan took two rhino horns and sent them over, trying not to harm the rhinoceros.
At this time, the effect becomes more obvious.
Severely ill patients only need to take medicine for seven days to recover, while mild cases only need to take medicine for three or four days to recover.
The medicine worked, and the doctors who were dealing with the plague all thought that it was Xue Banxian's new prescription that worked, and they were full of admiration for him.
But Xue Banxian knew that it was not because of his prescription.
The medicinal soup can have such a good effect because these medicinal ingredients are extraordinary.
However, he took all the credit on himself without hesitation.
If people knew that the medicine Jiang Tangtang took out was so magical, those with bad intentions would probably snatch her away first!
Jiang Tangtang has been running around with people during the day, busy controlling the plague to prevent it from spreading further, and working and growing herbs in the space at night.
It was not until this moment that I relaxed a little.
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, bad news came from outside.
"Madam, this is bad. Some refugees are using the plague as a threat, demanding we let them into the city. If we don't, they'll use themselves as weapons to attack the city."
The soldiers were so panicked that they even forgot to use pigeons, which was a faster way to send messages. Instead, they rode their horses and ran over breathlessly.
Jiang Tangtang rubbed his temples, "What's going on?"
"Someone started a rumor saying we wouldn't accept refugees anymore. Add to that the fact we hadn't been letting any refugees into the city recently, and everyone believed it, and things started to get chaotic.
At first, only the refugees who had contracted the disease were anxious, but later those who were not infected also became anxious and started to make trouble.
Not to mention that the refugees outside would take this rumor seriously, in fact, even the soldiers guarding the city gates were secretly wondering whether they would no longer accept refugees into the city in the future.
We don’t know when this drought will end, but there has been a locust plague and now a plague.
In the past, my wife could recruit refugees to work on the land, but now the drought is severe and these people are a burden to them.
Moreover, many people privately thought that it was already very good that the lady could save so many refugees, and how could she continue to save them endlessly.
Jiang Tangtang stood up and walked out, saying to Yuan Si as she walked, "Have someone check if there are any Xirong soldiers hiding nearby, and also if there are any refugees who don't look like refugees."
Yuan Sidao: "Madam, do you suspect that someone is deliberately misleading the refugees?"
Jiang Tangtang nodded.
After she came here, she was busy controlling the plague and did not spare the energy to take care of the Xirong people.
After so long, those Xirong people who have been playing tricks behind the scenes should have been unable to bear it anymore.
"Madam, don't we need to mobilize troops?" Yuan Si asked worriedly.
"Just get the city guards ready. If it's the Xirong people who are behind this, they shouldn't be sending many troops this time."
If it was a large army coming, their soldiers doing intelligence work outside should have passed the news to them long ago.
Since no news has been received so far, it means that no large army is heading towards Lingnan.
"yes!"
Yuan Si took the order and left, while Jiang Tangtang summoned Lili out and rode Lili to the city gate.
On the other side, Qi Hongshen changed into tattered clothes and hid in the woods not far from the city gate.
Guo Shaoan hesitated again and again, but still advised: "Young Master, when Jiang shows up later, I will take people to capture her. You don't need to take any risks. The Queen will be sad if she knows that you took such a risk for her illness."
Qi Hongshen had a cold face, staring ahead and said, "No need to persuade me, I have made up my mind."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Guo Shaoan had to give up.
Soon, a man dressed in refugee clothing hurried over and said, "Young Master, Jiang Shi has indeed appeared on the city wall, just as you predicted. However, she is accompanied by strong guards, not a scrawny old man."
"I think they were prepared and left Doctor Xue in the city instead of bringing him up." Qi Hongshen felt that he knew Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan quite well.
He thought Jiang Tangtang must have some suspicions about the origin of the plague, so he had been on guard against him for a long time. That was why he did not leave the city wall at all, nor did he send doctors outside the city wall to deal with the situation. He just casually sent some medicine to stabilize the refugees.
A determined smile appeared on his face. "But it doesn't matter. As long as we catch her, it's fine."
"Young Master is wise!"
In the woods, countless Xirong soldiers dressed in refugee uniforms and looking like refugees said in unison.
