Chapter 128 It’s not a lie
Chapter 128 It’s not a lie
After hearing what Prince An said, Jin Yuyao said, "I have an idea. Would you like to hear it, Your Majesty?"
Prince An said with interest, "Oh, that's great. Doctor Jin, just tell me directly."
Jin Yuyao said: "I can popularize the knowledge and habits of locusts to them. Then locusts can be eaten and sold to herbal medicine stores for money. This way everyone will be motivated and things will return to normal soon.
The prince can also reward those who catch more locusts with chickens and ducks, thus forming a virtuous cycle."
Your Majesty, do you think my idea is feasible?"
Prince An nodded in agreement and said, "I didn't expect Doctor Jin to have so many ideas, and they are all very practical."
Jin Yuyao said embarrassedly: "I only saw it in a book."
Prince An laughed and said, "You two are truly amazing. One is well-read, while the other is illiterate. Jingshan, you must work harder in the future."
Wang Jingshan instantly felt a huge pressure and refused to admit defeat, saying, "I must learn to read well. I can't let people always say that I'm illiterate."
The three of them laughed at once.
After dinner, Jin Yuyao was about to go out alone, and Prince An said, "Doctor Jin, go to the county government office and ask Chen Qianhe to arrange some people for you. Otherwise, you, a woman, may not be able to handle the villagers' troubles alone."
"Thank you, Your Highness. You are so thoughtful."
Wang Jingshan said, "I want to go with you."
Jin Yuyao wanted to refuse, but then she thought about how he was feeling suffocated in the house, so she said, "Then you just go with me and stay quiet. Don't be impulsive. Do you agree?"
Wang Jingshan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be right next to you. If you don't let me move, I won't move at all."
Jin Yuyao and Wang Jingshan first went to the county government office to look for the doctors. Jin Yuyao remembered that there was a doctor named Li who ran a pharmacy, so his words could be convincing.
Jin Yuyao walked up to Doctor Li and said, "Doctor Li..."
Doctor Li looked up and saw that it was Jin Yuyao and smiled, "Doctor Jin, you came so early today."
Jin Yuyao called Doctor Li outside and said, "Doctor Li, your family runs a pharmacy, right?"
Doctor Li nodded and said, "Yes, Doctor Jin, why did you think of asking this?"
Jin Yuyao said, "I have something to discuss with you?"
Doctor Li said, "Doctor Jin, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Is there anything we can discuss?"
Jin Yuyao said, "Actually, locusts can be used as medicine? Does Doctor Li know?"
Doctor Li shook his head: "I've never heard of this."
Jin Yuyao took out a prescription and said, "Doctor Li, there aren't many locusts now. I want to mobilize people's enthusiasm. You know my clinic is not here.
I want you to buy locusts. You can set your own price, and then this prescription will be yours. How about it? Doctor Li, would you consider it?
At first, Doctor Li was a little confused and asked, "Doctor Jin, are you really going to give me a prescription?"
Jin Yuyao nodded: "Absolutely true."
Doctor Li was shocked and said, "Doctor Li's prescription is definitely extraordinary, but can you let me think about it?"
"You can consider it, but it won't take too long. We'll be going out to promote it soon, and we'll have to tell them the address then."
Doctor Li frowned and thought to himself.
Although Jin Yuyao didn't look anxious, she was extremely anxious in her heart. Mrs. Li's character was impeccable. She still hoped that the house would fall into the hands of someone with reliable character, so that the people would benefit. If she did nothing just for a prescription, then it would lose its meaning.
After a stick of incense, Doctor Li finally decided, "Okay, I do."
Jin Yuyao handed the prescription directly to Doctor Li.
Doctor Li laughed and said, "Doctor Jin is not afraid that I will accept the prescription, but I will not accept locusts."
Jin Yuyao smiled and said, "I believe you, Doctor, but Doctor Li should also know the identity of the person with me. You should know clearly what the price will be if you go back on your word."
Doctor Li nodded and said, "I, Li, am definitely not that kind of person. The sooner rather than later, the better. I'll go back and tell the guys."
"What's the name of Dr. Li's pharmacy?"
Lingzhi Hall
After saying this, Doctor Li left in a hurry.
The two entered the study, and Chen Qianhe was writing something at his desk.
Jin Yuyao said, "Master Chen."
Chen Qianhe raised his head and saw Jin Yuyao and Wang Jingshan.
"What's the matter with you two?"
Because the two of them are usually around Prince An.
Jin Yuyao recounted what happened today.
Chen Qianhe nodded and said, "I'll send a few people to go with you."
He stood up and took Jin Yuyao and Chen Qianhe to the backyard of the county government office.
There were several yamen runners gathered in the backyard, talking about something.
Someone saw Chen Qianhe coming over and saluted, "Sir."
Chen Qianhe looked at them and said, "This is Doctor Jin, whom you have met in the past few days. Xu Qing, take five people with Doctor Jin to go out and educate the villagers about locusts."
Xu Qing replied: "Yes"
Jin Yuyao suddenly thought that the villagers might not understand the dry explanation, so it would be easier for people to understand if she drew a few pictures herself.
Jin Yuyao said, "Master Chen, I would like to borrow your study room for a while."
Chen Qianhe said: "Doctor Jin, please use it as you like."
She went to Chen Qianhe's study and began to draw. Jin Yuyao herself had some basic skills in modern times. Although she could not compare with professionals, she was still acceptable.
After Jin Yuyao finished the painting, she rolled it up and said goodbye to Chen Qianhe. Now the few of them are spreading it in Zhongshan County.
She specifically found a place with a lot of people, and then made a shelf to put her drawings on so that they could be easily viewed.
Jin Yuyao stood on a high place.
Xu Qing instructed the five people, "Go find some people. The more people the better."
After a while, there were already a lot of people.
The crowd began to discuss: "What is this for?"
"I don't know. The yamen runners told me to come and listen to what it was, but I don't know the details."
"You said he's not usually a county magistrate? Why let a woman be there?"
"Yeah? I heard that Prefect Chen was here recently, so why didn't he come?"
"You think this isn't a lie?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Look, the yamen runner is still here."
When Wang Jingshan heard people talking about Jin Yuyao again, he couldn't help but speak up to defend her.
Jin Yuyao said, "There's no need to make excuses now."
Wang Jingshan stared at those people angrily.
Jin Yuyao said, "Fellow villagers, today I am just sharing some common knowledge about locusts. Our land has recently suffered a locust plague, and I would like to explain to you the habits of locusts and how to prevent them.
If it does happen, what should we do?”
Some people in the audience started to discuss: "Why listen to this? The locusts are so numerous, it's God's punishment for us. This can't be a lie, right? We can prevent and control it."
Xu Qing said loudly, "Listen patiently to what Doctor Jin has to say. You will all receive gifts if you listen to the end today."
