Wei Jingzhuo was certainly aware of the current situation of the Northwest Army, and he would find a solution himself.
He said calmly, "I will find a way to provide military rations and pay. The Northwest is the throat of the Great Jin Dynasty and cannot be lost. I hope my grandfather can hold out for a few more days."
Thinking of the potatoes Su Wan planted in the yard, perhaps there would be a harvest.
Moreover, those potatoes have extremely high yields, and can be planted several times a year. He believes that with this high-yield crop, potatoes will definitely solve the food shortage problem here next year.
But right now, it's about the military's rations for this winter.
Zhao Xian sighed: "Such a large amount of military rations, unless a god is alive, where can we borrow so much grain?"
If it were in the past, with Prefect Su around, they could have managed to get through it. But now the Prefect of Youzhou is the Emperor's man, and he'd love to report even the story of the dog giving birth in the General's Mansion to the Emperor.
Don't expect that person to be able to procure food for him.
Recently, he heard rumors in Suiyang County that a deity had descended to earth. He suddenly asked, "By the way, have you heard that there have been rumors lately that someone in Suiyang County has seen a goddess?"
He, who originally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, has now started praying that gods really exist.
The people in the Northwest are suffering terribly.
Wei Jingzhuo didn't understand Zhao Xian's words, but he didn't reveal anything about Su Wan.
As for someone claiming credit for Su Wan's work, his eyes turned cold.
He didn't intend to let anyone know about Su Wan's methods, including his maternal grandfather. The fewer people who knew, the safer Su Wan would be.
Since someone is willing to take this hot potato, he doesn't mind giving them a big gift in return.
He said calmly, "Confucius said, 'You should not talk about strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits.' My maternal grandfather also said it was just hearsay. How can hearsay be believed?"
Zhao Xian didn't believe it. "But the rumors outside are quite detailed. They say that person is the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion, and she is currently a guest at the Lin residence."
"Aren't you really going to send someone to investigate?" he said. "Regardless of whether that person is a goddess or not, the medicine she has is said by those who have used it to be comparable to a divine medicine. Some people with lung disease have recovered after taking the medicine for a few days. It would be perfect if this person could be of use to us."
Even if a woman with such skills isn't a goddess, he still hopes to win her over to their side.
"What does Grandfather think of A-Wan's medical skills?" Wei Jingzhuo asked instead of responding to his question.
Without a second thought, Zhao Xian said, "Even immortals couldn't be this good."
He saw tuberculosis as nothing more than a death sentence, and he had no hope when he contracted it.
But Su Wan cured his lung disease in just three days.
He had consulted countless highly skilled doctors, but none of them could offer any help.
But Su Wan made him survive in just three days.
He had lived most of his life and had never seen anyone with such high medical skills. As if he had thought of something, he suddenly asked Wei Jingzhuo, "Is Su Wan from a family of divine doctors?"
In his mind, only people from families of legendary healers possessed such exquisite medical skills.
If Su Wan really is from a family of divine doctors, then why would he worry about the soldiers' injuries?
In the Three Kingdoms period, who wouldn't want to be cared for by a family of renowned physicians?
I've heard that as long as a person has a breath left, a family of renowned healers can bring them back to life.
A single dose of medicine from a family of legendary healers can save a person's life.
If the legendary goddess was truly an immortal, then the family of divine healers was the hope among the masses.
Looking at the excitement on his face, Wei Jingzhuo coldly said, "Awan is Awan, not someone from a family of divine doctors."
If A-Wan were from a family of renowned physicians, she would inevitably have to fulfill the marriage alliance with the Southern Chu royal family, which he would not allow.
Whatever the reason, Ah-Wan is already his wife.
Thinking of Chu Yi's purpose in coming to the Northwest, he lowered his eyelids, his face somewhat cold.
Zhao Xian didn't know why he had suddenly become distant, and didn't dare to ask any further. He simply said that he was tired and wanted to rest.
Wei Jingzhuo bowed to him and then left the study.
She walked slowly into her courtyard, where Su Wan was sitting inside studying her prescription.
She remembered that she had already used up some of the medicine, and now, for some reason, the used medicine had been replenished.
Su Wan's eyes lit up. She carefully examined the pharmacy and found that all the medicines had been replenished.
She remembered that when she detoxified Wei Jingzhuo before, the medicine in the pharmacy hadn't changed; it was used up and then gone.
She pondered for a long time why the pharmacy wasn't refilling its prescriptions this time, and came to a conclusion: it was probably a reward from the pharmacy after Wei Jingzhuo's poison had been completely cured.
Thinking of this, she immediately turned her attention to the apartment, but nothing had changed; it was still the same as before.
In other words, apartments and pharmacies are different.
If pharmacies can proactively replenish supplies, then apartments should be able to as well.
The pharmacy automatically replenishes its medication once the person is cured, but she doesn't yet know what's in the apartment.
She took a can of plant-based protein powder from the pharmacy, intending to give it to Wei Jingzhuo.
Although he has just recovered, he was severely depleted before and needs to be properly nourished.
When Wei Jingzhuo entered the room under the moonlight, he saw that the orange candlelight enveloped Su Wan, making her look exceptionally holy.
This made him suddenly afraid to go forward.
Su Wan realized someone had come in. She looked up and saw Wei Jingzhuo, then smiled brightly and waved to him, "Ah Jin, come here quickly, I brought you something good."
Wei Jingzhuo walked slowly to her, glanced at the things on the table, and asked, "What is this?"
"This is a real gem. I'll brew you a cup. I guarantee that in a month, you'll be as strong as an ox."
He suddenly asked, "Does A-Wan think I'm weak?"
No man likes to hear someone say he is weak, especially someone who is pleased with that.
Su Wan had no idea what he was thinking. She glanced at his body; although he had recovered a lot, he still looked a bit thin. She nodded subconsciously, "You are still very weak, but it doesn't matter. With me here, I will definitely help you recover completely."
In ancient times, there was no concept of nutrition. When people were sick, they would often use Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng to replenish their bodies, but the more they replenished, the weaker their bodies became.
The saying "a weak body cannot tolerate strong tonics" illustrates this point.
But to Wei Jingzhuo, these words sounded like Su Wan was looking down on him for being weak.
He suddenly moved closer to her, raised his hand to tuck the stray hairs behind his ear, then bent down, picked her up horizontally, and carried her into the bed curtains.
Su Wan was startled by his sudden action, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
She opened her eyes, wanting to get down, but Wei Jingzhuo held her tightly in his arms.
"what are you up to?"
"Didn't Ah Wan say that her husband is in poor health? Why don't you try it yourself?"
"Ah, no need, no need..."
Wei Jingzuo put her on the bed, and Su Wan felt dizzy and lightheaded.
She tried to get up, but Wei Jingzhuo quickly pushed her back down.
"Where does Ah-Wan want to go?"
"I...I suddenly need to pee..."
Wei Jingzhuo's hand, which was holding her slender waist, suddenly stiffened, and his deep gaze fell upon her.
Su Wan felt that Wei Jingzhuo was extremely dangerous at this moment, and if she didn't hide, she would be in danger.
