Snow comes every week of the year, and there is no loneliness in the heart. Huts are built on fire, and the heavens are terrible, and people are proud of themselves.
In October, heavy snow fell. Li Yi wore a new cotton coat and cotton boots. He helped the newcomers with frostbite and applied ointment by the Ba River.
This was another wave of newcomers from the west of the city.
They were staying in the west of the city at the Sorrowful Field Nursing Clinic, which was set up by Wu Zetian.
It was still under the control of the government. According to historical records, it would be handed over to the temple in two years.
The Sorrowful Field Nursing Clinic was responsible for settling people and treating them.
There were many people with frostbite. The treatment was to apply ointment and bandage, but the effect was not obvious. They also said to soak in hot water and keep them warm.
The Imperial Medical Department sent people to help. Pei Yaoqing's Chang'an reminded him of Zhuangzi in the east of the city.
He called people to ask about the situation and found out that Li Yi had settled more than two thousand people in Zhuangzi.
Looking at the Sorrowful Field Nursing Clinic, it was not good for the people with frostbite. If they delayed any longer, they would get sick and die.
So he called 96 people with frostbite to go to the Ba River outside Li Yi's Zhuangzi.
The people in Zhuangzi saw and ran back to Dongzhu.
What else could Li Yi do? Frostbite, treat it. He "drove" over.
Today was his first anniversary here, and he had lived a fulfilling life.
He first asked people to go to the pharmacy in the city to buy medicine. There was a ready-made prescription for Chinese medicine, and it was very effective for soaking.
At the same time, he gave the prescription to the pharmacy. In the future, don't look for him for mild frostbite. The pharmacy had the prescription.
The prescription was called Cassia Fructus Decoction. These two were the main ingredients.
The pharmacy was happy, and the Imperial Medical Department also quickly got the prescription and filed it.
In addition, for the frostbite that had already broken, Li Yi calcined borax and put it on the wound. Of course, he had to clean the wound first.
What was more serious was that he could only use his lifespan to exchange for it. Fortunately, the people who were saved by changing the medicine could basically make up for their lifespan.
"I have cotton, so I can use cotton to spin gauze and then use alkali to degrease it. Otherwise, I would have to exchange my life for it."
Li Yi muttered as he bandaged the patient. The patient listened without saying anything. Instead, he showed a grateful look.
"Keep warm and don't touch water. Come over tomorrow to change the dressing. In the future, look at the situation and reduce the number of times you change the dressing," Li Yi said to a patient who had just finished treating.
If he wanted to get the gauze back, he would have to reuse it, clean it, and steam it to disinfect it. However, he could not bear to throw it away. This was not a matter of money.
The patient's eyes were filled with tears. He wanted to kneel down, but he remembered the rules here. No kneeling was allowed. Everyone bowed.
So he bowed as well. One bow, two bows …
"Stop, don't bow anymore. Hurry up and leave. Next." Li Yi rejected. Don't look like you're about to cry. Give me three bows and I can still live.
The people behind came up, and the person who bowed just now brought his family to look for a shack.
Yes, he was going to stay here and not return to the west of the city.
Sixteen huts or huts were joined together, four by four.
If there was a fire, there would be sixteen fewer huts. Other places would not be burned.
The newcomers last time built a lot. The huts they lived in before were built by the people in front.
The huts they built were for the people who came later. The huts were covered with grass curtains to keep them warm.
There were also people in charge of watching the fire and smoke in shifts. They did not have to worry about the cold in winter.
Pei Yaoqing, who brought people over, and a few yamen runners strolled around, looking like they were inspecting.
In reality, they were learning from experience. There were more than two thousand people. Li Yi and Zhuangzi easily arranged for them.
Everyone still had work to do, and they were paid. The food they exchanged for was also enough to eat.
Children under the age of ten were given an extra boiled egg by Zhuangzi, one a day.
Some children were thin and small, so they were falsely reported. Zhuangzi turned a blind eye. After all, they were thin and small. Eating eggs was nutritious.
There was a stew in the big pot. When the lid was lifted, the oil could be seen. Naturally, it was soybean oil.
Pei Yaoqing's face turned red. Anyway, the weather was cold. It felt cold.
More than two thousand outsiders were now in good order.
There were no troublemakers, no sneaky people.
There were no cracks on the children's hands or faces.
One had to know that the lower counties had less than two thousand people. But how many of the lower counties' magistrates, deputy magistrates, deputy magistrates, registrars and other officials could reach this level?
None. Pei Yaoqing dared to bet his head that none of them could.
"Sure enough, it's a heaven-sent disaster." Pei Yaoqing sighed.
It was snowing heavily, but there were people who could withstand the heavens and still help more people get through the hardships.
If there was nothing to do, he would find work for them. If there was no place to stay, he would help them build huts. If they were afraid of the cold, he would help them with the fire.
"Ming Residence, how good is Li Yi's medical skills?" The yamen runner looked at Li Yi who was treating people with frostbite and asked softly.
Another yamen runner said, "The prescription for treating frostbite. If I had such a prescription, I would pass it down to my family."
Pei Yaoqing understood what his two subordinates meant. Li Yi had so many prescriptions that he did not care about one or two.
"It's not his medical skills, it's his heart. He is too busy and gives the prescriptions to others. Naturally, many people can be helped. Normal people can't compare. "
Pei Yaoqing praised Li Yi. At the same time, he remembered that the Emperor valued him. How could someone who was valued by the Emperor be normal?
As he spoke, he entered a hut. It was called a hut, but it was actually sixteen or seventeen square meters.
A family of five could live here. Any more and they would have to be separated.
There was a wooden bed on the ground. It was propped up and not touching the ground. On the bed was a straw mat wrapped in silk.
There was also a quilt stuffed with soft grass. It was fastened with thread.
There were also pillows filled with rice husks and wheat bran.
He turned around and saw a wooden shelf. On the shelf were pots, jars, bowls, chopsticks, toothbrushes, and towels.
No one had lived in this hut yet. Everything had been prepared.
When Pei Yaoqing saw the toothbrush, his mood was very complicated. Was this really prepared for people who were seeking a way to survive?
He turned around and went out. He saw the farmer explaining to the newcomers.
"After going to the toilet, you have to wash your hands before eating. Use rough paper for the toilet. You are not allowed to use it too hard. The place where you brush your teeth in the morning and evening is also where you wash your hands.
Take your toothbrush and towel. There is hot water. Drink boiled water. Cold water is not allowed. My Dongzhu does not have the time and medicine to treat you.
There is soap and tooth powder at the place where you brush your teeth and wash your face. You are only allowed to use it there. Whoever dares to take it away will be chased out.
Choose your own meals. Everyone has a big pot of rice. The price is different. Salted vegetables are free, but you are not allowed to eat only salted vegetables. Salt is not cheap … "
The group of people nodded their heads to show that they understood. Their eyes were filled with joy. So, their lives were not as good as they were now. Were they refugees?
Pei Yaoqing looked at them and understood their expressions.
Use rough paper for the toilet, provide soap for washing hands, and provide tooth powder for brushing teeth. What does Li Yi want to do?
Why don't you be the Chang 'an Magistrate? I can't do it.
Pei Yaoqing was afraid and guilty. What if Her Majesty came again one day and saw how Li Yi arranged the people?
He turned around and went to Sorrowfield Nursing Home to see how the Chang 'an Magistrate was doing. He then looked at the lives of the ordinary people in the city.
Would Her Majesty get angry and cut down his Chang 'an Magistrate?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a group of people appear on the other side of the Baishui Bridge. They were all riding horses, and there was also a carriage.
He stared at it. The carriage crossed the bridge and came to the left of Li Yi. A man and a woman got out of the carriage.
At this moment, his heart turned cold.
