Chapter 188 Riots, the epidemic is a mirror
"Princess." Maidong bowed immediately.
Hearing Lin Miaoyin's instructions, he raised his hand and signaled the Shenying Army who were transporting food to leave two bags of rice and flour on the donkey cart.
Then, he threw the man who was shot by the arrow over and said, "Send him to Jingzhao Prefecture!"
"Princess Ning."
After Lu Zhizhou sat back in the wheelchair, he asked the servant to push him forward to greet Lin Miaoyin.
"I'm here to vaccinate the eldest son with smallpox." Lin Miaoyin directly explained her purpose. When the two assassins came over just now, it wasn't that she didn't want to help, but in her current state, she couldn't help at all and would only cause trouble.
And she didn't bring the Divine Warriors with her when she went out, so she could only worry.
Fortunately, Ophiopogon japonicus arrived in time.
After vaccinating Lu Zhizhou, Mai Dong stepped forward and said, "Princess, I have completed the tasks you requested today."
"It's over so quickly?" Lin Miaoyin was slightly surprised.
When she went out in the morning, she took a thousand doses of smallpox vaccine from the medical system and gave them to Maidong, asking him to lead the Shenying Army to vaccinate the people in the city. She thought they would be busy all day, but unexpectedly they finished the vaccination in less than an hour.
But she had been running for so long, but only received about a hundred doses.
It really proves the saying that if you can't lead a team, you will work yourself to death.
Mai Dong nodded and asked, "Does the princess have any other instructions?"
Lin Miaoyin glanced at the rice and flour shops on the street and asked, "Are the people of Shengjing so short of food?"
Yesterday in the Imperial Study, Emperor Ming was worried that the people had no food to eat.
She knew that everything in Shengjing was in chaos because of the city lockdown, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
If the situation continues like this, there might be riots in the city.
This is no longer a problem of smallpox.
"Since the emperor issued the order to fight the epidemic, everyone has been focusing on the smallpox epidemic. No one dared to tamper with medicine, so they started to think about food. The day before yesterday, when the emperor went to court, he found that most of the people in Shengjing City had been out of food for two days, and he was furious. Prince Su and Duke Song and others proposed that the wealthy families send food and medicine to the people, and they took the lead."
"Originally, the court would have mobilized more wealthy households to donate grain in the next few days, and then opened up granaries. However, looking back at the situation in the past few days, the effect is not ideal. The people who are really short of food cannot get food, and the wealthy households have hoarded more grain, not to mention..." Mai Dong lowered his voice, "There are still many people in the upper echelons who are lining their own pockets."
Lin Miaoyin was not surprised.
Since ancient times, there have been many people who have made a fortune by taking advantage of national disasters.
As long as there is profit to be gained, greed will arise.
As long as there is greed, evil thoughts will arise.
The epidemic is a mirror that exposes the truth.
Under the epidemic, all kinds of demons and monsters will show up.
For example, at this moment, many people on the street were queuing up to receive food, looking at the bags of rice with greed in their eyes.
If there weren't people guarding it, they would have looted everything long ago.
After Lin Miaoyin said goodbye to Lu Zhizhou, she continued to get vaccinated. Mai Dong was worried, so he drove her there personally.
It was already dusk when I returned to Yipin Guo after finishing my work.
"Princess, you are finally back. I have prepared dinner and am waiting for you!" Grandma Sun said with a smile. She took the medicine box from Yuzhu and welcomed the two of them in.
"Princess, please wash your hands first." Manager Liu brought a basin of water.
Lin Miaoyin washed her hands and told everyone to take their seats.
Now that we are facing the epidemic, it is an extraordinary period and there is no need to be so particular.
Just as they were about to have dinner, a tall figure came down the stairs with unkempt hair and a dirty face, looking very disheveled.
"Oh, are you eating?" Liu Wumei, who is always irritable to others, felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
Yuzhu raised her eyebrows and looked over.
Liu Wumei put her hands behind her back and walked around the table. "Dinner is so sumptuous. We can even eat meat at this time."
"If you have something to say, just tell us now. We are eating." Yuzhu said impatiently.
She hated this monster in front of her that was neither male nor female. No matter what he said, it sounded weird to her.
"Well, my master asked me to come and bring a jar of wine to everyone." Liu Wumei stretched out one hand, holding a jar of wine, and the other hand was still behind her back.
When Manager Liu saw the jar of wine, his eyes lit up.
He sniffed subconsciously and whispered to his partner, "This is good wine!"
Mrs. Sun glared at him and told him not to speak.
"This wine was brewed by my young master himself. It is the best peach blossom wine, priceless." Liu Wumei added with a look of pride.
Yuzhu narrowed her eyes.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
"By the way, exchange it for a bowl of rice." Liu Wumei didn't care whether others accepted the wine in his hand or not, and put it directly on the table, then brought an empty bowl from behind with her other hand.
Yuzhu snorted coldly.
I knew he was up to no good.
"Take it away, we don't drink." She raised her hand and threw it over.
Manager Liu followed Yuzhu's movements, and finally stopped his gaze on Liu Wumei's arms, sniffing hard.
Liu Wumei was immediately furious, "Be careful, can you afford to pay for it if it breaks?"
"pay?"
Yuzhu seemed to have heard a joke, and pinched her waist and said, "I can't even eat now, who wants your cat urine?"
Manager Liu: “…”
Now this little girl has a really poisonous mouth.
He wants it! He wants it!
Lin Miaoyin took in all of Manager Liu's little movements.
She had been here for a few months and had a general idea of the preferences of everyone in the palace.
Manager Liu is a simple and honest person, but he likes to drink.
Because of the smallpox incident, he hadn't had a drink for a long time. Now that such good wine was in front of him, how could he resist?
Thinking of his hard work these days, she smiled and said to Liu Wumei: "I want this wine, and you can take some of the food on the table back. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Miss?" Yuzhu couldn't believe it.
"What are you still standing there for? Serve some rice to Miss Liu, Liu..." Lin Miaoyin waved her hand and instructed her.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to call him Miss Liu.
As expected, when Liu Wumei heard Lin Miaoyin's address to him, she immediately smiled so hard that her teeth could not see her eyes, "I would like to thank Miss Lin on behalf of my master."
He was born rough, and his face looked even more ferocious when he smiled.
Yuzhu felt it stung her eyes and looked away hastily.
After Liu Wumei left with a full bowl of food, Lin Miaoyin handed the jar of wine to Manager Liu.
"Princess, this..." Manager Liu was flattered.
Yuzhu understood, "So the reason why the young lady asked me to serve him food was because of Manager Liu."
"Here we only have Steward Liu who drinks a couple of glasses on weekdays. This wine is for Steward Liu, please accept it." Lin Miaoyin said.
"You were drooling just now, so take it." Mrs. Sun laughed.
"Thank you, Princess!" Manager Liu was excited.
He held the jar of wine in his arms happily, this was a rare good wine.
Not to mention tasting it, he had never even seen it before.
After dinner, Lin Miaoyin inspected the ward as usual. As soon as she entered, Ding Xiang ran over in a hurry, "Princess, something bad has happened!"
