Chapter 340: Human Insatiableness
At this time, the patrol team walked up with weapons.
Without any further ado, they took action and dragged those who were clamoring for privileges out and took them directly to the end of the line to line up.
They said that this was the first time and they were given a chance, so they were just pulled to the back of the line to queue up again and given a warning.
But if there is a next time, it will not be as simple as giving a warning. You will be directly not allowed to enter Bohai County or Lingnan, and other areas under Jiang Tangtang's jurisdiction.
Regardless of their past experience outside, they have no special privileges here. Everyone is treated equally, and those who need to queue must queue.
Some people even tried to bribe the patrol team with gifts, but they were caught and criticized in public.
These nobles saw that privileges did not work here, and bribery did not work either, so they could only queue up honestly.

While the work of taking in refugees was proceeding in an orderly manner in Bohai County, Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan also rode Gugu to Bohai County.
However, the two did not go to the city gate first, but found a place to take out the medicinal herbs and food in the space in advance.
For so many people, the existing medicinal materials in Bohai County are definitely not enough.
Using a caravan to transport the medicine back to Lingnan would inevitably waste a lot of manpower and financial resources. More importantly, the supply of medicinal materials was quite high, which would also affect the control of the plague.
Just come up with a better reason when the time comes.
In this regard, Lu Shiyan was well prepared, so there was no need to worry.
After finding a suitable place to store the medicinal materials and food, the two of them rushed to the city gate.
The two of them did not have to go to the city gate to face the refugees in person, but they had to do a good job of allocating staff and deciding where to isolate patients with the plague.
It is easy to find people who work in the refugee office as a statistician, or as a handyman who makes and distributes medicine.
What is most lacking are doctors and female doctors.
Although in the past few years, Jiang Tangtang has been encouraging doctors to take in apprentices in order to expand Lingnan's medical team.
But training a doctor is not a matter of one or two days. So even with her strong support, there are still too few doctors and medical women.
The already scarce medical staff became even more stressed when facing the plague.
Jiang Tangtang had no way to get more doctors to come. The only way was to arrange the time so that the doctors and female doctors could work in shifts and have enough rest time. In addition, the only way was to ensure their diet.
As for arranging where to quarantine people infected with the epidemic and transporting medicines and other supplies, Lu Shiyan didn't let her worry about it, and Jiang Tangtang didn't ask too much.
He was more familiar with Bohai County than she was, and he could handle these matters more smoothly than she could.
Jiang Tangtang went to the logistics department to take care of the food problem at the front.
Due to geographical and other reasons, Lu Shiyan did not build a large-scale city wall like the one in Lingnan after occupying Bohai County.
Although no large-scale city wall was built, the old city wall was rebuilt.
In addition to strengthening the city walls, he also followed Jiang Tangtang's advice and built a place nearby for the soldiers to eat and rest.
Originally, we were sympathetic to the hard work of the soldiers defending the city, but now it has become convenient for them.
The meals for the doctors and refugee office staff waiting at the city gate were all given to the cooks in the kitchen.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang, the cooks in the kitchen stopped and looked at her nervously.
"You guys go about your business, I'll come over to see what everyone is having for dinner today."
Seeing that Jiang Tangtang was concerned about everyone's meals, Wang Dali, the kitchen manager, said hurriedly, "It's the same as when we were in Cangwu before, all grain cakes and wild vegetable soup."
They acted in accordance with the standards they had in Lingnan before.
Jiang Tangtang said, "There are many patients suffering from the epidemic outside the city gate. The doctors and nurses are working very hard. Prepare two extra duck eggs for each of them every day. The duck eggs will be delivered with the herbs later. You can prepare other food first."
Also, you all have worked hard, I brought some fruit tea and emptied out a big pot for everyone to drink."
Fruit tea does not take up space and is light. Moreover, the fruits grown in the space are full of spiritual energy and are most suitable for restoring energy.
Jiang Tangtang had thought of it on the way here. She had already taken the fruit tea out of the space and held it in her hand.
She handed it directly to Wang Dali and said, "This is from my private storage. Don't be reluctant to put it away. Make the fruit tea stronger. I'll send it back when it's finished."
"Thank you, ma'am!" Wang Dali took the fruit tea and thanked Jiang Tangtang together with the other cooks in the kitchen.
Although they didn't have eggs to eat, they had fruit tea, which was also good.
The deliciousness of the fruit tea had already spread among the soldiers, and many soldiers couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they recalled it.
I didn’t expect that they could also have fruit tea.
The people in the kitchen were full of energy. They first made fruit tea and sent it out to the staff outside.
Although it rained a few times in the past two months, the rain was so light that it didn't even wet the entire surface of the ground.
Therefore, although it is the beginning of autumn, the weather is still very hot.
Everyone worked among the refugee crowd under the scorching sun for several hours and felt a little exhausted.
Especially to prevent infection, everyone wore masks and special gloves.
Under such wrapping, many people's clothes were soaked.
When they heard that Jiang Tangtang had specially asked someone to prepare fruit tea for them and asked them to go back and have a drink and take a break while another group of people took over their work, they were deeply moved.
When Lin Jingyue and other officials in the capital heard about it, they all felt complicated.
Jiang Tangtang was so considerate of her subordinates that she even specially prepared fruit tea for them?
Lin Jingyue wanted to ask someone about it.
The eloquent soldier in the morning left a very good impression on him, and he wanted to go and ask him again.
But in addition to the doctors, nurses and other staff members who took over their shifts and went back to rest, a group of soldiers guarding the city gates were also replaced.
He couldn't find the eloquent soldier he had met before, so he had to ask someone else.
Like Lin Jingyue, many people asked others for information.
However, their focus was different from Lin Jingyue's. They were more concerned about what the sweet fragrance coming from the city gate was and whether they could eat it.
"That's fruit tea, made by Madam herself. It used to be given only to soldiers in the barracks. This time, Madam saw everyone's hard work and gave it to everyone as a special treat."
Zuo Haiyan is a female doctor who only became qualified and able to see patients at the beginning of this year.
She knew that the doctors and nurses who treated the refugees could earn two extra duck eggs every day.
Thinking of duck eggs, Zuo Haiyan became excited.
Those are duck eggs! In this age when there are not even any extra wild vegetables, they are so precious!
She could actually get two at once.
And the fruit tea.
It smelled so good! It was the first time she had tasted such delicious fruit tea. She heard that she could have it again when it was their turn to change shifts.
"Aren't you giving out porridge?" A nobleman from the capital sniffed the fragrance in the air and swallowed his saliva in dissatisfaction. "I heard that Lingnan people all give out porridge. Why aren't you giving out porridge?"
