Chapter 175: Make up for it, the Shenying Army is at the disposal of the princess
Everyone looked at Lin Miaoyin with concern.
Lin Miaoyin looked at the people who cared about her and was touched. "I'm fine, don't worry..."
Before she finished her words, she saw the blood beads on the back of the boy's hand and frowned, "Did you pull out this needle yourself?"
The young man looked at the blood on the back of his hand, wiped it on his body, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "They said the princess is back, I...I want to come and see her."
The person in front of him was the young man who beat Kang Dayong violently in revenge for his sister that day.
His name is Biancheng and he is only fifteen years old this year.
He was a strong man. After his parents were killed by the Northern Di people, he fled all the way from Jingzhou carrying his sister on his back.
His elder sister was already frail and she contracted smallpox before entering the city. She could not hold on for two days. Kang Dayong happened to be ordered to search for the infected people. He watched his sister turn to ashes and gave up on himself. He refused to receive treatment even after contracting smallpox.
Later, with Lin Miaoyin's patient guidance, he cooperated with the treatment and lived a good life.
His symptoms were mild and he is almost recovered now.
Lin Miaoyin took out a hemostatic patch from the medical system and stuck it on the bleeding needle hole, and instructed: "Press it firmly and release it after the bleeding stops. Don't do this again in the future."
After saying that, she told Dingxiang to give him the acupuncture again later.
"Princess, don't blame him. He is also worried about you." Dingxiang said and motioned Biancheng to go back to the ward.
Bian Cheng looked back at Lin Miaoyin before leaving the lobby.
After he left, Lin Miaoyin said to the other patients, "It's nothing, everyone go back first."
"I'm glad that you're okay, Princess. I'm glad that you're okay."
Seeing that Lin Miaoyin was safe and sound, everyone felt relieved and returned to the ward one after another.
“They are…”
Seeing Lin Miaoyin asking, Ding Xiang hurriedly explained: "I can't handle it here alone, so I asked my mother to call the people from the palace to help."
Lin Miaoyin nodded and told Yuzhu: "Anyone who comes to help will receive an additional five taels of silver on top of the monthly salary."
"No, the slaves volunteered."
"I don't want money. As long as I can help the princess, I will be satisfied."
Several people waved their hands.
Smallpox is rampant in the city now, and people are in panic. Thanks to the vaccination the princess gave them before, they are spared from the suffering of smallpox.
They were already so grateful that how could they take more money from the princess?
Now is the time for them to repay the princess.
"I know you are grateful to the princess, but let's be fair. We don't know when the smallpox epidemic will end. Starting today, there will be patients admitted to Yipin Guo. The work here is so tiring. The princess feels bad for asking you to help for free, so please don't refuse."
After some persuasion from Yuzhu, these people finally agreed.
"Thank you very much, Princess." They thanked Lin Miaoyin profusely.
You have to know that their monthly allowance is only two taels of silver, and the princess asked for five taels. How could they not be excited?
"Okay, let's get busy."
After Lin Miaoyin sent a few people away, she instructed Yuzhu and Dingxiang, "From today on, you two will teach them the basics of how to prepare medicine and give injections. As for Manager Liu and Nanny Sun, you should still be responsible for the meals."
After giving the instructions, she got down to work.
Not long after, Yuzhu brought Maidong in, "Princess, Guard Mai is here."
I thought I had to go to the Temple of Heaven, but as soon as I went out, I saw Maidong riding a horse towards me.
"I have met the princess, and the princess asked me to come and help."
"No need to be polite, I think..."
Before Lin Miaoyin finished speaking, Mai Dong handed over the tiger talisman in his hand, "The prince said that the princess needs to prevent smallpox without someone on hand, so he asked me, the general, to deliver the talisman. From now on, the Shenying Army will be at the princess' disposal."
Lin Miaoyin knew the Shenying Army, which was Beigong You’s personal guard.
There are not many people, only about three thousand, but each of them is an elite who can fight against a hundred enemies alone.
Most of these people were homeless orphans and descendants of soldiers who died on the battlefield, and they voluntarily followed Beigong You. Because they had no worries, they always rushed to the front on the battlefield and fought desperately. They were called hard bones by the brutal Beidi people, and people were terrified.
Beigong You not only had the tiger talisman of the Shenying Army, but also the tiger talisman of the Beiliang Army.
He gave her the Divine Army and let her command it, which showed that he really wanted to help her and was not just trying to please her.
Lin Miaoyin didn't bother to be polite and directly accepted the tiger talisman.
Preventing and controlling smallpox is not as simple as just talking about it, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
Now is the time to need people, but she has no one available.
This is not conducive to epidemic prevention.
The Shenying Army sent by Beigong You was like timely help.
These divine warriors are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also well-known for their heroic deeds. With them around, they can at least protect the safety of Yippin Pot.
"Thank King Ning for me."
Hearing the alienation in her tone, Maidong felt a little uncomfortable.
The prince asked the emperor for a letter of divorce in order to protect the princess, but the princess... was clearly serious.
Soon, he collected his thoughts.
Now is not the time to think about that.
"Lin Youcheng and Jiang Zuocheng were appointed by the emperor as the left and right state officers to fight the epidemic. After leaving the court, they were left to discuss the fight against the epidemic. I don't know the details, but I heard that the Ministry of Rites temporarily took over the Imperial Hospital, which is mainly responsible for the dispatch of imperial doctors and the distribution of medicines. If the princess has any ideas, please let me know and I will convey them to you."
"The Imperial Hospital has only a few dozen doctors and only a few hundred stones of medicinal materials, which is far from meeting the needs of epidemic prevention. If we want to win this smallpox epidemic war, we must make use of the people, such as building a plague relocation center or requisitioning private medical clinics and drug stores."
"Also, I don't know how the Ministry of Rites will dispatch the Imperial Hospital. I have a suggestion. The Imperial Hospital has about 80 people, and there are more than 100 towns in Shengjing City. There are about 30 or 40 towns with smallpox outbreaks. It would be better to divide the doctors of the Imperial Hospital into groups of two and send them to these towns. As for towns with serious epidemics, such as Shiqiao Town, we can recruit doctors with a large sum of money and go there together."
"I've made note of it."
Lin Miaoyin didn’t understand other aspects, but she knew a little about medicine.
As soon as Maidong left, Lin Ruhui rushed over.
He brought some servants with him, intending to have them protect Lin Miaoyin and Yippin Guo's safety. Later, he heard that Beigong You had handed over the Shenying Army to Lin Miaoyin, and he was relieved.
"The emperor has asked me to be in charge of the anti-epidemic efforts. I will be busy from now on and cannot pay attention to this side all the time. If you have any problems, please send someone to find me." Lin Ruhui wanted to make up to his daughter.
"To be honest with you, Father, I really have something I want to discuss with you."
"you say."
"I want my father to understand that patriotic education should be carried out from the emperor and his ministers to the common people. Whether it is a family or a country, it will fail from the inside. Even if Beiliang is strong and prosperous, once the people lose their morale, a small plague can lead to its decline. On the contrary, as long as Beiliang is united, even if there are internal and external troubles, we can build a new home on the ruins."
