Chapter 298 On the way
Encountered a disaster on the way 12.31 modified
Wei Zhen's side went very smoothly, eliminating some potential crises, preventing future natural disasters, and spent a comfortable year. When it was time to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year, beautiful fireworks lit up the sky above the Wei family, marking the new year.
The flavor has reached a new level.
However, the next day, there was no New Year greeting in Hutou Village. The villagers gathered in front of Wei's house to get injections.
It's said to be vaccinated, what to prevent? Oh, to prevent the plague, let's get vaccinated.
This kind of vaccination, one person dares to take it, and the other person dares to be vaccinated. It is simply a blind worship.
There are three consultation tables for the six members of the Wei family. Sitting behind the first table is Li Ginseng, the second is Mi Le, and the third is Wei Zhen.
It's such an honor. The people who gave the injections were all big guys.
Behind a few people, there was a large notice posted, with precautions: first, who cannot get the injection, second, what not to do after the injection, and third, what symptoms are normal.
Of course, all of this has been told to the villagers, and those who volunteer can come. After arriving, let Li Ginseng check for symptoms. If there are no problems, go to Mi Le's place to sign and sign. After signing, go to Wei Zhen's place for injection.
The speed was very fast. In less than half a day, the people from Hutou Village were finished, and people from the other two villages were gradually arriving.
At this time, County Magistrate Ji arrived and said, "Princess, what kind of injection did you get?" Without any nonsense, he asked directly the key points to see if he could follow suit.
"Poison needle."
The boy who had just been given the injection by Wei Zhen was a seven or eight-year-old boy. Hearing these words, he couldn't walk immediately. "No, isn't it a vaccination?" His mouth trembled, and he had the urge to cry.
Did the princess get the wrong injection? He has no grudge against this beautiful but cold sister.
"You think there is nothing that can be done to prevent it? Because you are poisoned now, you can't touch the wound, the wound can't be exposed to water, and you can't eat spicy food when you go back. You can get through it.
This is a small poison. When the big poison comes, you won't be afraid anymore, because you are already poisonous. If you have more of it, it won't be more, and if you don't have it, you won't be much.
Live like this. I am just giving an example. You don't have to worry, you won't die anyway. But if you don't fight, you may die when the plague comes.
This is the principle of vaccination. Sir, do you want it? The price is negotiable." Wei Zhen's intention was not about money.
But you know, in this era of imperial rule, public sentiment is not a good thing for ordinary people.
"Uh, okay, I know. I'm looking for Miss Mi to discuss business. I just have a bodyguard and I want to discuss it in detail." Of course Magistrate Ji didn't come here just for one thing.
"Lao Si,"
"I don't know how to give acupuncture." Before Wei Zhen could finish speaking, Wei Dong refused and ran away.
It's just an injection, how scary is it?
"Girl, let me do it?" Daqin said. He doesn't distinguish between medicine and poison. It's just an acupuncture.
"Come here." Wei Zhen stood up, turned around and left.
It turned out that the piano hand was shaking. Didn’t the girl need some guidance? Then she left.
Where should the injection be done? It felt like it was easy for the girl to do it, two people per minute, but when it was Da Qin's turn, the person getting the injection was afraid, and the person getting the injection was also afraid.
"You, don't mess around, don't mess around."
"Pfft!" Mi Le laughed. How painful would it be to prick the needle with a needle as thin as a cow's hair? As long as it doesn't prick a nerve, it'll be fine.
Daqin had a big head. Mi Le pushed it with his hand and the needle went in. "Look, how difficult is it?"
"Ouch!"
"ah!"
Two voices suddenly screamed.
"Does it hurt?" Mi Le was surprised, she didn't believe it.
"No, it doesn't hurt, I was just shocked..."
"I, I was shocked too."
Mi Le was speechless, "You've all killed people before, it's just an injection."
"That's different!" Two voices said in unison.
"Okay, then you take your time and play."
That definitely didn't work. When the next person came, Daqin finally dared to play, and gradually the speed became faster.
In the hall of the Wei family, Magistrate Ji got straight to the point, "The gold mine matter has been settled."
Wei Zhen looked confused. "Are you mining?"
The corner of Magistrate Ji's mouth twitched, but he sighed inwardly. Within half a year, Wei Zhen got up, and the little girl became equal to him.
"I didn't dig it, but the Southern Xinjiang Army dug it and caught it, so the dust has settled." Magistrate Ji was drinking tea, feeling very comfortable.
"Army?" The army goes mining these days, but it's really not doing its job properly.
"Yes, but it has little to do with the Shen family, because they branched off this year. It is precisely because of the dispersion that some people joined the Sixth Prince.
That group of people failed to benefit from the Sixth Prince and almost started a mutiny. General Zhang had no choice but to dig into the gold mine again.
Otherwise, the people below will not accept it. Soldiers have their heads tied to their waistbands. Who will do it if they work hard but cannot support their families?
As for the Shen family, although they are a little unkind, they have indeed raised an army. Their annual military expenditure is only five to six million taels of silver, and they have been able to stabilize southern Xinjiang for many years.
But now that the Yue Kingdom is no longer fighting and there is no military merit to be earned, the Shen family naturally wants to get rid of the redundant personnel to avoid being targeted by the court.
It happened that General Zhang was eager to take the next step and take the Shen family's place, so he took refuge with the Sixth Prince, but in the end he bet on the wrong banker.
Now that the mastermind, General Zhang, had been captured, the 50,000 border troops wanted to go back and join the Shen family, but they didn't want to.
It's a pity that they have no one to support them, but it's also a shame that they have violated the law, but they are also in trouble. The little military pay provided by Chao Ting is exploited layer by layer, and not much reaches the hands of the soldiers.
Now 50,000 soldiers are leaderless, I wonder if the princess has any ideas?" Magistrate Ji could be said to be speaking from the bottom of his heart to Wei Zhen, one of his own.
"It would be great if agriculture and industry were developed. For such a backward country, infrastructure construction should be carried out. But those are the affairs of the imperial court.
All I care about is my fiefdom, which is waterproof, fire-proof, theft-proof and disease-proof, with pesticides for farming and wages in factories. In troubled times, I just want to survive."
Wei Zhen doesn't care about the army's affairs, it's not her own responsibility.
"You have the same idea as me. The people from the Yamen will take the first step in escorting General Zhang and others to Beijing. Today, those dirty silvermen are the ones who will trouble you to escort them to Beijing. Mr. Yuan and I are not worried about the others. Of course,
The escort money is very high."
"It's easy to talk when you have money." She also has many people to support, and the vaccines in her fief are free, which is all money.
But if you don’t get vaccinated, how can she collect taxes if the plague comes and everyone dies? It’s too worrying! For that grain of rice.
"Okay, I know your rules.
In addition, Beijing is more chaotic and unbearable than you imagine. Many famous and talented people in the Qing Dynasty cannot bear the humiliation, cannot bear to see the sins, and are forced to leave the center of power for various other reasons.
For example, Mr. Yongyong, he served as a teacher to three emperors, and even stayed in a bandit den after leaving Beijing. No matter what the reason, this is a small stain, which can be attacked by others. At least his reputation will be damaged, and at worst, his reputation will be damaged.
The brain will not be saved.
It depends on which side is more powerful and can win from the struggle. This is the custom of the capital.
This is just the court, and you are a girl's family, and you still need to set foot in the inner house. Those dirty tricks are hard to guard against.
The inner house is nothing more than about a girl's family's reputation, poisoning, and miscarriage... Anyway, there are only evil things you can't think of, and nothing you think is impossible.
Don't blame me for being verbose. It's true that your mother has been away from that circle for a long time, and she may not know this, so I will say a few more words.
So you must be mentally prepared and be on guard against others, and don't follow Li Guogong's old path, it would be a real pity." Magistrate Ji kept talking to Wei Zhen as if he was sincere.
"I know that I will definitely live a long life, and so will you. If you have any questions, you can write to me. The Beijing line with the wind will be opened on the day I enter Beijing. It is expected that there will be two round trips per month."
