"Drink the medicine. Don't go back in a hurry. Wait for the baby to recover."
Guan Lin's mother gave the medicine to the woman who had just delivered the baby by Caesarean section. The anesthesia was not good, so the woman was in pain during the operation.
After the operation, the woman was still in pain. There was still a drainage tube in her belly, so the medicine could help a little. The medicine was mainly used to kill bacteria.
The woman took the bowl, tested the temperature, and drank it all. She smiled at Guan Lin's mother.
"The baby is too big. Nine kilograms. You can't raise the baby so big next time." Guan Lin's mother shook her head.
It was her first time giving birth by Caesarean section, so she felt guilty.
She was most worried about infection. Once it happened, the medicine she had might not be able to cure it.
The woman nodded. She only hoped that the baby could survive the pain and survive.
"I've asked your man to catch some pheasants and eggs. We'll catch some fish. Your cut belly is too damaged. You need to eat a few more meals a day. Don't eat too much at each meal."
Guan Lin's mother repeated the words according to the book. The Tubo woman did not understand the Tang dynasty language. Fortunately, her family was captured, so she slowly learned it.
"When I recover, I'll raise some goats for you." The woman looked at her son and wanted to thank him.
"Your tribe has already given me a yak and a calf. I'll feed them in the winter. One for one." Guan Lin's mother touched the baby as she spoke.
The baby was big. Nine kilograms was the weight in the Tang dynasty. If it was Li Yi's time, it would be 12 kilograms.
No one knew how the woman ate. The point was that the woman was not sick. She just could not give birth.
The baby could cry and eat when he spoke. Similarly, no one found that he was sick.
The baby was almost two feet tall and looked scary.
The woman looked at the baby with joy and fear. The baby was big, which meant that he was strong. He might become a warrior in the tribe in the future.
The bigger the baby, the better. A boy was better than a girl.
"They'll envy me when I go back." The woman still felt proud.
"Tell other women who are going to have a baby. I can't guarantee that the baby will survive if he's this big. What's the use of a big baby?"
Guan Lin's mother was worried that with this example, other women would try to give birth to a big baby.
"I'll tell them. Tell them that you'll leave in a few days." The woman quickly agreed.
A few days later, the mother's stitches were removed, and the drainage tube was removed. She continued to recuperate, exercised appropriately, and fed the child.
Her husband had come over with pheasants and eggs. When he saw his fat son, he could only smile foolishly.
To them, Guan Lin's family was a miraculous doctor.
They had to catch a few more wild chickens for the Godly Doctor to eat so that he could get help when he was sick.
The yak calf was very precious, but it was nothing compared to a fat boy.
The news spread, and the other tribes also knew about it. Their desire for war was even smaller, and they wanted peace.
…
"It seems that they don't want peace anymore." While eating the Taro Stewed Chicken, Tan Shui's tone was angry and his expression was one of enjoyment.
Over the past few days, the roads in Yunyuan County were still being repaired very slowly. The people were not willing to work because they were afraid that if they worked too much, they would have to eat too much dry food.
The Yan family dismissed the people they hired and left the family members to waste time. They paid for the soup.
Fish soup. Fish soup was the cheapest and did not require freshness. Dried fish could also be boiled into soup.
There was no mutton soup. Guangzhou did not raise goats at this time. It was too hot in summer, and goats were not easy to manage. The sheep would die from the heat.
There were pigs, but they could not bear to kill them.
The people in other counties were working hard to repair the roads. The county magistrate even personally watched over the money from the flower market.
The county magistrate was not greedy and gave the money to the people. The tools for work were the best, and the food was not bad. They bought pigs far away from the water and slaughtered them.
Those close to the water would eat live fish. No one was willing to eat dead fish. It was not a place with few rivers.
After the roads were repaired, they would also build houses for the people. In case there were merchants who needed lodging, they had to have a place to stay. They could also earn some money.
When Tan Shui received the news, he blamed the Yan family.
"They are tired of living." Wei Yuefeng was also eating Taro.
Beside him, Ah Mei had a pot and was eating by herself. Her knife was still beside her.
Zhang Jiuling was eating braised fish and drinking iced wine. There were also local leaders of Guangzhou around.
Each of them represented a power. They were invited to eat and at the same time, watch the prosperous scene of trade.
According to Li Yi's letter, they needed to unite the mountain people and suppress the local clans, including the Huang family.
Provincial Governor Huang An did not say much. If they wanted to suppress the clans, so be it. Were they supposed to go against the imperial court?
Their current path was good. The imperial court had dispatched troops quickly. If they went against the imperial court, their clans would be annihilated.
The leaders of the mountain people who came over gave face to Zhang Jiuling, and even more so to Tan Shui.
At this moment, Tan Shui represented the villages in Lu Zhou's province. They looked at Tan Shui and wanted to form an alliance through marriage.
They wanted to introduce the most outstanding men in their clans to Tan Shui. Alas, Tan Shui did not respond.
"As more merchants arrive, there will be more barbarians. Everyone, if you have anything you want to trade, bring it here. We'll set the price according to the quality. Don't sell your goods individually."
Zhang Jiuling raised his bowl of wine and spoke to the leaders around him. They wanted to unite the mountain people.
Then, they would think of a way to get the mountain people to become citizens. At that time, the population would increase.
There was no rush to pay the rent. Perhaps, in the future, the Tang dynasty would not collect rent. They would only collect taxes based on the amount of land.
When the taxes were collected, they should be allowed to convert the land into food or money.
Not all of them were paid. Otherwise, when they harvested the grain and wanted to exchange it for money, the merchants would lower the price.
One of the leaders looked at the cloth pouch at the side and said, "Eunuch Zhang, why don't we attack and capture the Yan family? We'll help fix the road."
There were 20 malaria isolation pills in the pouch. They were given to the villagers when they arrived. They would bring them back with them.
If someone in the village had malaria, they should eat it quickly. If they did not have enough, they could ask for more.
Since they had taken something that could save lives, they had to do something. The mountain people were trustworthy.
"We can fix the road and capture them … However, we can only wait for the evaluation to give them a bad review and remove them from their posts," Huang An said.
He did not want to kill the Yan family. There was no reason for him to do so.
He could only remove them from their posts. However, he could not do so now. Someone in the provincial capital had benefited from them.
He had to wait for the evaluation during the new year. Only then would he be promoted to county magistrate, deputy county magistrate, and county lieutenant.
However, it would be difficult for the new officials. There were many members of the Yan family, including the yamen runners and officials in the yamen.
If they sent three new officials to take up the post, they would be made into mere figureheads if they were slightly weaker.
Unless they sent the Huang family, they had more people.
If they sent the Huang family, it would be considered nepotism. If someone impeached them, it would be troublesome.
"The Winged Knights can write and calculate. If it doesn't work, I'll have to trouble the Winged Knights to set a year and a half." Zhang Jiuling looked at the Winged Knights around him.
As long as the Winged Knights could write and calculate, they could replace all the officials in Zaiyuan County.
He would help to come up with ideas and stand behind the scenes to guide the administration. How could he not know how to manage a small county?
At this moment, the rumbling of horse hooves could be heard.
Hearing this, it was clear that Mado was talking. The ground began to tremble.
The leaders of the mountain people looked at each other. There was panic in their eyes. They were afraid that the imperial court would take the opportunity to kill them.
"Don't be afraid. The Winged Knights are around. There's no need to use others." The leader who said he wanted to help had thought it through.
