Chapter 338: Great Eloquence
"Our general is not here." The soldier guarding the gate glanced at Lin Jingyue and said, "Even if our general is here, you cannot enter the city. This is the epidemic prevention regulation."
"What epidemic prevention?" The people nearby heard the soldier's words and asked.
"If anyone among you is sick and enters the city, he will infect the people there. You cannot enter the city for the time being. You can only enter the city after you recover from the disease."
The soldier said, looking at the people huddled together on the side, "I advise you to separate a little and not crowd together like this. Crowding like this is the easiest way to spread the plague."
When the people heard about the plague, they shrank back in fear, but no one moved. They were different from the people who had come to Bohai County from Cangwu. These people had never heard of epidemic prevention guidelines before, and the soldiers' words were unfamiliar to them.
I’m just worried that if I don’t wait here, I’ll miss the chance to enter the city.
Lin Jingyue was also extremely anxious. He lifted his sleeve, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Then I wonder when your general will be back? My grandson is sick. Can you arrange for a doctor to come and see him first?"
The soldier said, "The prefect has already notified the doctor, and someone will be here soon to distribute the medicine. Don't worry."
"You're prescribing medicate without even seeing a doctor?" Lin Jingyue asked worriedly, "What if the medicine isn't right for me?"
The people around him also said, "Really? Can you get medicine without seeing a doctor?"
"It won't be a problem. Our wife did this when we were in Cangwu. First, give the patient a heat-clearing decoction. Even if it's not the plague, it won't harm the body, it will only benefit. If it is the plague, taking this decoction is better than taking nothing."
The soldier couldn't help but let out a look of naiveté. "Besides, who says you have to see a doctor before you can prescribe medicine? When we were in Lingnan, we had a pharmacy where we could just buy medicine. There was no need to see a doctor every time."
The soldiers' words opened the eyes of the people who had fled from the capital. "Is this possible? Without seeing a doctor, how would you know what medicine to buy?"
At this time, everyone temporarily forgot their anxious mood to enter the city, and instead looked at the soldier who was speaking with burning eyes, wanting to see what he would say.
Seeing that everyone enjoyed listening to him, the soldier also became excited, "How could you not know? Before the drought, female doctors would go to the countryside every month to provide free medical treatment.
After the free medical consultation, the female doctor will stay to give lectures to everyone and popularize knowledge about some common diseases.
For common colds, which we often catch, there are medicines available at pharmacies. There are fever reducers and those for runny noses. Just go buy it according to your symptoms. My nephew had a high fever once, so I bought him a pill from a pharmacy. The medicine was really effective; my nephew's fever went down immediately after taking it.
After hearing this, everyone developed an infinite yearning for Lingnan.
Such a wonderful place, it's like a place where gods live! I wish they could live in Lingnan too.
People began to inquire about the various events in Lingnan and asked how Bohai County compared to Lingnan.
Speaking of which, this soldier is also a talented person with great eloquence and the ability to do propaganda.
Seeing people asking about Lingnan, he immediately talked about the good things about Lingnan. However, in the process of speaking, he also repeatedly emphasized that the reason why Lingnan is so good is that General Lu and Mrs. Lu are of course the biggest contributors, but it is also inseparable from the cooperation and trust of the people.
After he finished speaking, he concluded: "If everyone did not trust Madam Lu, we would not have moved from outside Cangwu City to Bohai County, and there would be no Bohai County today.
Of course, Bohai County can't compare to Lingnan right now, but you haven't seen what Bohai County was like when we first arrived. Back then, corpses were everywhere on the road. But now, the beachfront mudflats are planted with sea rice, and the roadside corpses have been dealt with. Now that we can't farm, we're building roads. I believe that before long, Bohai County will be as prosperous as Lingnan. So everyone must obey the orders from above and don't rush into the city.
After the soldier finished speaking, the people who were crowded together just now began to move out of the way and do as the soldier said.
Minister Lin gave the soldier a serious look.
He only said a few words and everyone in the front listened to him. He was really amazing.
This Bohai County is truly a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere!
