Shan Yubang shook his head: "If it were that simple, why would we need to come here to look for clues? Not only is the terrain treacherous, but that comrade of mine couldn't find his way out even after four years inside. If anyone else goes in, they'll probably only be able to go in and not come out."
Lin Ying couldn't help but frown: "So, you're guessing that the order of the map is related to this book?"
Shanyubang nodded and said, "Yes. Even if it's not, it might still be related."
Lin Ying nodded: "In that case, you can take this book back. I don't know much about these things, so I'll have to rely on you."
Shanyu Bang said, "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
After Shan Yubang left, Lin Ying put the matter out of her mind. Whether it was rescuing people or finding treasure, it was indeed a good thing at a time when the country needed a lot of money.
To be honest, Lin Ying was also very tempted and wanted to go treasure hunting. However, she had a child to raise and couldn't go at all.
About two or three days after Shan Yubang left, the farm commander came to find Lin Ying in person.
First, he apologized to Lin Ying, saying that the person he sent had a problem with his thinking. Then he said that he had been blind to her true intentions and missed the opportunity she gave to the farm.
They also said each pill cost three cents, and their farm needed five thousand. The money was settled on the spot.
Lin Ying acted as a go-between, arranging a meeting between Shan Yubang and the village chief. The pills sold for 50 cents outside the village, but only 30 cents outside, so the village chief naturally had no objections. After confirming that there were enough medicinal herbs, he signed the contract on the spot, securing the order.
After Shan Yubang left, the village chief discussed with Lin Ying: "Our village is all mountainous, and we can't grow good grains. Every year we waste those good seeds. Now, these pills are selling well, and we can make them every year. So, we've been discussing this and wanted to ask you if you could teach us how to grow medicinal herbs? If we could grow medicinal herbs on this land, wouldn't that be better than losing grain every year?"
After listening to the village chief's words, Lin Ying thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Village chief, your idea is quite good. Although our mountainous area is not very suitable for growing grains, it might actually work for growing medicinal herbs. However, growing medicinal herbs is not a simple matter. Different medicinal herbs have different requirements for soil, climate, and planting methods. We need to do some research and see which medicinal herbs are suitable for growing in our mountainous area."
Upon hearing that there was hope, the village chief immediately perked up and hurriedly said, "Lin Ying, we don't know any of this, which is why we have to rely on you. You know a lot, so as long as you're willing to teach everyone, we can slowly figure it out. It's better than not seeing any harvest from this field year after year."
Lin Ying nodded and replied, "Village Chief, you're right. We can try planting some easy-to-grow plants first, such as mugwort, which has a strong growth ability and is one of the main raw materials for our pills. We can also plant honeysuckle, mint, and the like."
The village chief's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly: "Oh, now that you've said that, I feel much more at ease. So when do we start? What preparations do we need to make first?"
Lin Ying thought for a moment and said, "Village Chief, I think we should first organize a meeting to explain the medicinal herb planting to everyone in detail and see how many families are willing to participate. After all, everyone needs to contribute to the initial investment. Then, we need to buy some medicinal herb seeds, preferably from a reliable seed supplier to ensure seed quality. Also, I'll explain the key points of planting these medicinal herbs, such as when to sow, how to fertilize, water, and how to control pests and diseases. We need to make sure everyone understands these things."
"Alright, I'll go and call a meeting right now to tell everyone about this good news." After saying that, the village chief hurried off to inform the villagers.
Before long, the men, women, and children of the village gathered together. The village chief stood in front and explained the plan to plant medicinal herbs in detail. After listening, everyone felt that this was a good opportunity to change the status quo and expressed their willingness to participate.
In the days that followed, Lin Ying became even busier. She was busy with her clinic, treating patients for the villagers, and also guiding them in planting medicinal herbs. She took a few knowledgeable villagers to select high-quality honeysuckle and bupleurum seeds, and then taught them how to till the soil, sow seeds, and fertilize according to different planting requirements.
The villagers studied very diligently, working in the fields every day to carefully tend to the medicinal herb seedlings. As the days passed, the seedlings gradually sprouted tender green leaves. Looking at the vibrant scene in the fields, everyone was overjoyed and filled with anticipation for a bountiful harvest.
......
In July, the weather reached its hottest point, and even in the mountains, it was unbearably hot and humid.
Lin Ying's clinic is still open, but the temperature inside is quite comfortable due to ventilation on both sides.
"Thanks to Dr. Lin's pills, who would have dared to open the windows like this in previous years? There were just too many mosquitoes."
"That's right. Now that we have these pills, we're no longer afraid of getting bitten by mosquitoes."
As Lin Ying treated everyone, she listened to their conversation with a smile when suddenly she heard a loud cry of "Wah!!!" coming from the other side. Lin Ying instinctively stood up and ran towards the sound of the crying.
Afterwards, she looked at Liu Zi, who was sitting on the ground crying uncontrollably, and then at Er Ya, who was standing there hitting Liu Zi with a broom.
Lin Ying was somewhat amused and exasperated: "What's the reason this time?"
Knowing that nothing had happened to the child, Lin Ying was no longer so worried.
However, Lin Ying also had a headache. Recently, Er Ya had been liking to beat up Liu Zi, but Liu Zi just liked to hang around her.
