Chapter 6134: Discovering clues
Lin Haoming put down the silver needle at this time and said, "Old doctor, you still help others treat the fire plague yourself. I admire you for your high medical ethics. I think the people in the city of the state love you very much in these days."
"What's the use of this? I can't cure anyone at all." The old doctor said bitterly.
Lin Haoming put down the silver needle at this time and promised: "I will find the root cause and the old doctor will hold on for a while."
"Hmm?" Hearing this, the old doctor also solemnly said: "Master Lin discovered something?"
"I just have some thoughts, I'm afraid I can't stay here." Lin Haoming said.
"Master Lin is going to Cangbei County?" Pu Luzhen asked.
"I may go to Mingguo to see it. The fire plague here is already very serious. If the weather really gets hot, most people will not be able to withstand it. I will not stay here." Lin Haoming said goodbye and was about to leave.
"Now it's not far from dark, why not..."
"Time can't be waited. Originally, I just came here to take a look and had no intention of staying." Lin Haoming said.
"Master Pu Tian." The Lord of Quanzhou looked at Pu Luzhen again.
"Since Master Lin said he was leaving, I would just follow him. Master Quanzhou, please find more people to come here to help." Pu Luzhen saw that Lin Haoming was very appreciating the old doctor, so he also mentioned it out.
"Yes." The Lord of Quanzhou said and agreed.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Haoming and his men had all left the prefecture and continued to go north. Because they left the mountainous area, the Muslim of Quanzhou specially sent a few horses to give them foot strength.
The group went north from the official road. Due to the fire plague, there were almost no people on the road. When it was dark, they looked at the bright moonlight and just took a break. After eating some dry food, they continued to rush. In the second half of the night, everyone was resting under a wooded for half a night.
In this way, I continued to rush to the road at dawn and arrived in Cangbei County by noon the next day.
The reason why Cangbei County is called Cangbei County is because there is a Taiping Warehouse south of Cangbei County, which is the largest official warehouse in Yongzhou and the entire granary of the Northern Army in Yongzhou.
In fact, Pu Luzhen didn't say anything before, that is, the 100,000 troops stationed here are also severely plague, but the army is strictly controlled, and it is impossible for ordinary people to treat them at will in the army.
The county magistrate of Cangbei County is Cheng Guangning. He is a scholar in his thirties. However, as the most serious place for fire plague, this county magistrate was also infected with fire plague. However, in order to appease the people, the county magistrate continued to enter the market and deliberately made a look that although this fire plague is difficult to deal with, it will not kill anyone. At least it will prevent the people from causing trouble because of their fear of life.
From this point of view, this scholar-in-law who seemed to be powerless was really capable.
After Lin Haoming arrived here, the county magistrate invited his group to his county yard, but most of the officers in the county yard were not good either. Even because the fire plague became more serious, most of the women were infected. The one who brought tea and water to everyone was actually a teenage girl, and she also called Cheng Guangning a father.
Seeing that even the county magistrate's daughter had to do things, Lin Haoming felt the situation here more and more serious and asked: "Mr. Cheng, I heard from Master Pu Tian say before that before the outbreak of the fire, you had done some trade with the north side, but I don't know what was the trade?"
"Hebei lacks grain, but it produces a lot of mulberry, so trade is carried out every spring and autumn. We exchange grain for cloth. Master Lin asked this, do you think there is a problem with the cloth we exchanged for? This is unlikely. After the cloth is exchanged, we still need to clean and dye the printing, and how can the cloth convey fire plague?" County Magistrate Cheng was very smart but also felt that Lin Haoming was a little too worried.
When Lin Haoming heard this, he smiled a little more at the corner of his mouth and asked, "Then I want to take a look at where this batch of cloth is."
Seeing Lin Haoming speaking, County Magistrate Cheng couldn't help but frown and said, "There are two parts of the materials exchanged. Some of them are reserved by the county and distributed grain from each family. In addition, a batch will be distributed in the army, and then the soldiers' clothes will be used for clothes. This method of using grain for mulberry is more than ten years old. At first, it was the method proposed by the late emperor when we were in power. The grain we gave was 30% higher than the normal price, which led to the Hebei area where everyone planted mulberry and did not grow grain. When the northern expedition to Ming Kingdom in the future, they would be short of food as long as they cut off trade."
County Magistrate Cheng was a smart man. He could see the strategy of the late emperor at a glance, but it also showed that the late emperor who defeated Ming Kingdom in the Battle of Taikang Mountain and thus established the current status of Jing Kingdom was also a ruthless person.
"I'll take a look at the cloth first." Lin Haoming insisted.
"Dad, you either have a Confucian shirt or made of that batch of cloth last year." At this time, the little girl, who was only in her teens, spoke up to remind her.
When County Magistrate Cheng heard this, he immediately said, "Yes, go and take it to Master Lin."
The girl ran into the door immediately and came out with the Confucian shirt after a while.
Lin Haoming took it into his hand and tore it apart. Then, for some reason, a ball of flame ignited. The torn corner of the clothes immediately burned in the flames, and then a faint fishy smell that was not very rich but could be identified.
"Master Lin has discovered something?" Pu Luzhen seemed to feel an abnormality and asked subconsciously.
"It's almost the same. I just discovered it, but if it can be cured, what's going on, I have to go to Mingguo to see it." Lin Haoming sighed.
"I came to investigate and went to the army to check the cloth, but I didn't find it poisonous. What's going on?" Pu Luzhen was a little curious, and also regretted that he had failed to observe.
Lin Haoming said: "This thing is considered poisonous, but it is not poisonous. It is normal for you to find out. Some people are fine even if they wear it, and some people will get fire plague."
"Is this like a rumor that some fishermen on the beach will have rashes after eating seafood, but most people don't know it, and most people do this fire plague is in most places, and only a few people don't know it, so it is non-toxic, but also poisonous." Pu Luzhen gave an example very cleverly.
"Yes, it's almost the same, but there are other things inside. Otherwise, why would this kind of thing appear for no reason?" Lin Haoming praised.
"Then let's go here?" Pu Luzhen signaled.
"It's okay for us to go, but it's not convenient to have too many people. Wuniu, please stay with the magistrate Cheng's side." Lin Haoming ordered.
"Yes." Everyone has seen Lin Haoming's ability, so naturally no one will refuse his words now.
"I have asked my daughter to prepare lunch and leave after lunch. It's not that bad for a moment." County Magistrate Cheng greeted with a smile.
