Rebirth of the proud doctor girl

Chapter 150
The drought is getting worse and worse. Most people’s wells can no longer get water. Although Jiang Yunqian’s well still has water coming out, the water level is too low, and the water is not as clear as it used to be. It will take some time before it can be used.

Moreover, a bucket of water has to be used before use. First wash the rice and wash vegetables and then wash your face. After washing your face, you can also wash your clothes. The dust is dried in a blink of an eye.

At this time in the previous life, Jiang Yunqian was still in the Chen family, and the Chen family dug several deep wells. Although the water was not as usual, the masters could still take a bath.

At that time, Jiang Yunqian knew a little about the drought outside, but she didn't have such a deep understanding. Before that, she would think that in such a drought, the harvest in the field would be at least [-]%, who would have thought that what she saw in the end was only hay Worrying seedlings.

Most of the fields Jiang Fang's family bought were dry fields, and one-third of them were paddy fields, but both paddy fields and dry fields were destined to fail.

Worried villagers stood by the fields, hoping that it would rain, at least they could plant some potatoes in a hurry. In addition to paying taxes and grains for the first year's rice grains, they also ate and sold them, and there was not much left. .At this time, the food in the rice store is several times that of previous years. If they can collect some sweet potatoes and the like, they will not be afraid of starving to death in winter.

There have been several groups of people coming to Jiang's house, some want to sell houses, and some want to sell land. Because Jiang Fang has fame and fame, there are not many people who can and are willing to buy land at this time. I can only hope that Jiang Fang can look at the villagers Help me on my face.

There were even some who wanted to sell people to Jiang's family. Although Jiang Fang felt sorry for these people, he knew at this time that there was no more people in the family.

Buying people is different from buying land. At most, buying land means that there will be no harvest. When the drought eases next year, it will have little impact on the Jiang family.

But buying a person is different. In addition to the money that the buyer needs to take, the person who stays at home also has to eat and pay monthly money. Jiang Fang thinks that the family has no income. If the wife is taken away, the whole family is already sitting and eating, how can they afford to enter again?
If he couldn't bear it, he would have wanted to sell all the people in his family. After all, the land can no longer be planted, and so many idlers can still eat. Isn't it pushing people to their death?In the end, I could only dismiss this idea.

I have asked several times if I would like to return the deed of sale to them, and let them find their own way out, but these days there are disaster victims everywhere, and they don't even have a foothold, and they can only die if they leave Jiang's house.

Kneeling in front of Jiang Fang and begging for thousands of times, Jiang Fang didn't have the heart to let people go. The left and right family had saved a lot of food from Jiang Yunqian's words before, and they can get through this year no matter what, but they must be economical in terms of food. Can no longer save.

Jiang Yunqian had a lot of money on hand, even a lot of banknotes, but Jiang Fang couldn't let Xia's intentions know, so Jiang Yunqian took advantage of the situation and hid it all. She really couldn't eat anymore. Well, Jiang Fang can't leave her alone, when he knows that he has so much money in his hands, he might use it to honor the old lady.

She had planned to take advantage of the opportunity to buy some more land, but when she thought that if the plague came here for several years, there would be a lot of wasteland, and it might not be safe to buy land. She might as well wait until she came to Beijing, and she didn't plan to do it either. A landlord, before buying the land of Huawang's house, he was also interested in more than ten acres of astragalus.

Life in the village is relatively easy, except that every household has the habit of storing food, and the wells of several households can still draw water is also one reason.

But it’s hard for the people who live in the town. Not all the houses in the town have wells. More than half of the people have to go to the town’s wells for drinking water. After a long drought, the town’s wells are not enough. No matter how the water comes out, the water brought up is also muddy with sand, but even this kind of water still has to wait in line.

Not to mention that very few people in the town farmed the land, and all their food was bought at rice shops. The increase in the price of food caused everyone to complain.

Due to the drought, many people have no work to do, earn less, and food is more expensive, but don't wait to kill people?

The situation here is difficult, even in the county town. The water in the river has almost stopped flowing, and there are dead fish and shrimps exposed everywhere due to the low water level, emitting an unpleasant smell.

Xiao Tianyou stood on the embankment looking at the desolation, he couldn't tell whether it was sad or what, but fortunately he was sitting here, the relief food allocated by the imperial court arrived very quickly, but it was only tens of millions of catties, which was insufficient. Xiao Tianyou remembered half of them in his heart, but he didn't show it at all.

Now several water sources in the county are guarded by officers and soldiers, and water is delivered from house to house every three days, as long as it can ensure that people will not die of thirst. As for the food, it is divided into three porridge spots once a day and distributed at the same time, all of which are compared with the account I don't worry that someone will claim more than I would if I distributed it.

Fortunately, with Xiao Tianyou in charge, no one dared to reach out for the food delivered. One meal a day did not starve to death.

Another half month passed, and the weather was no longer so hot. Although there were a few sporadic light rains, it was dry for too long, and the rain evaporated quickly without even getting the ground wet.

Fortunately, many wells that had dried up began to leak water, and the difficulties caused by the drought were not so serious.

However, Xiao Tianyou's expression became heavier day by day. Seeing the clouds gathering and dispersing in the sky from time to time, besides the worries caused by drought, what he feared most was sudden heavy rain, whether the over-dry land could bear it A rainstorm wash?

Touching the kit in his arms, it contained a prescription sent by Jiang Yunqian and Sheduwan before leaving the town. It is said that according to the above prescription, the medicinal materials for preventing and curing the plague can be obtained. .

Xiao Tianyou didn't doubt why Jiang Yunqian thought of preventing and controlling the plague. Anyone who studied medicine would understand that after a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe.

Although Xiao Tianyou is still struggling, he has a handle in his hand but it is not easy to send it out. After all, the matter has not happened yet, and the evidence is also weak. At most, it can make the emperor pay more attention to the disaster here, and finally treat him There is no half benefit.

But let him put people's lives in disregard, and he can't do such a conscienceless thing, but even if he has made the worst plan and preparation, he can't guarantee that he will be able to get the Chen family to collude with the prince. When it is the handle, it can also protect the people from suffering disasters.

Xiao Tianyou sighed heavily, and recruited his confidantes, let him go to Qingyutang, who is more suitable for things like buying medicinal materials than Qingyutang?

Even if he can't pass the test of conscience, and can't let the Chen family's conspiracy succeed, it doesn't prevent him from making a little calculation about the Chen family and the prince.

In the past few days, some people came to Liujiayu to collect medicinal materials. Although they collected everything, Jiang Yunqian observed it a few times, and the most asked by these people was Astragalus, and Jiang Yunqian couldn't help but pay attention.

She hasn't mentioned the medicine to cure the plague to Xiao Tianyou yet, and she hasn't made up her mind whether to believe that he has nothing to do with the Chen family, but seeing that these people who came to collect the medicinal materials no longer hide it, and are even a little urgent, Jiang Yunqian doesn't care. I was in a hurry, obviously because the brothers Wang Bei and Wang Nan had a large amount of Astragalus membranaceus in their hands, and the Chen family couldn't get them, so they were so anxious that they couldn't care less about whether it would attract suspicion.Of course, we must also prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Fortunately, Wang Bei and Wang Nan were very low-key when hoarding. The Chen family suspected that they had a large amount of astragalus.
However, those people did not come to Jiang's house very often, and they were all lobbying Jiang's family to sell Astragalus membranaceus to them. Mrs. Zhang even recognized two of them who had been to Jiang's house before. They successfully explained to Mrs. Jiang that they wanted to buy the astragalus from Jiang's family at a high price. Mrs. Jiang was obsessed with money for a while and agreed to sell the astragalus to them.

It's just that he didn't have a key and broke the door lock. Fortunately, Zhang's people were alert and stopped Mrs. Jiang from selling Astragalus.

Because on the second day, Mrs. Jiang excused that the servants in the family dared to fight against her, and she wanted to buy another person to wait on her, so she brought Xueyan back.

Therefore, when Mrs. Zhang pointed to those two people and said to Jiang Yunqian, Jiang Yunqian glanced twice more. He was really an 'acquaintance' person. He had met several times in the Chen family in the previous life, but he was the Chen family. The servants in the outer house had never spoken to Jiang Yunqian, but they still remembered their appearance.

Sure enough, these people were sent by the Chen family, and Jiang Yunqian couldn't sell Astragalus to them, but how could these people be willing if they didn't receive enough Astragalus?Knowing that Jiang's family has a lot of astragalus, he even rushed into the yard to buy it.

In the end, Xu Fan brought people over to subdue them.But what if it is subdued?Apart from a beating, he had to be released in the end.

Jiang Yunqian looked at the backs of those people limping away, and deeply felt that the beam she had formed with the Chen family in this life was even bigger.

But it's been an endless game for a long time, so what if I'm just afraid?It's better to think about how to bring down the Chen family.

Because of what happened to Jiang's family, the villagers in Liujiayu were even more reluctant to sell the astragalus on hand to this robber-like medicine collector. Some feared that they would have long nights and dreams, so they simply sent the medicinal materials to Pengcheng Medicinal Materials Store.

Wang Bei and Wang Nan collected the medicine softly, and Xiao Tianyou, who had returned to the county seat two days earlier, hid away leisurely.

Wang Sanchun muttered while collecting the medicinal materials, it was nothing more than Xiao Tianyou had a good time, but the bosses were exhausted.

Wang Bei and Wang Nan ignored him, and they couldn't tell Wang Sanchun that Xiao Tianyou returned to the county because he was also responsible for the food and drink of the people during the drought, and also to guard against the Chen family's secret mischief.

Now Xiao Tianyou is probably not taking it easy in the county, but Xiao Tianyou doesn't need to come forward to buy Huangqi himself. He only needs to reveal a little information, and Fang Shiheng, who wants to find out Xiao Tianyou's origin, can handle everything properly. Yes, no one would even associate the person who bought Huangqi with King Qi.

Just looking at the astragalus that was hoarding more and more every day, Wang Bei and Wang Nan were also worried. Although there was Jiang Yunqian's previous reminder and the Chen family's anomaly, would so much astragalus be used?
Fortunately, Xiao Tianyou said that regardless of whether the Chen family's plot succeeds or not, these astragalus are still his, and the price is twice the normal price. Although Wang Bei and Wang Nan are going to the capital, who will pay the money? Have a grudge?Anyway, everyone knew that Xiao Tianyou's incense pills were going to be sold in the capital, and he would be richer than anyone else in the future, so who would he kill if he didn't kill him?
