"Yes." Lao Wu has been by Bai Ling's side for a while, and he knows Bai Ling's style of doing things.

After leaving Wufu Town, Bai Ling gave Lao Wu a pile of silver tickets, and also gave the little girl a small pile of silver tickets, just for fear of an emergency, they would be more convenient.

The village chief was grateful, but he also understood that Bai Ling didn't like to let people kneel and kowtow, so he didn't know what to say.

As he spoke, Bai Ling simply ate a coarse tea and light meal, and knew that this was the best shot by the village chief's family, so he continued to heal the villagers.

Although there was a lot of medicine in the carriage, it couldn't be consumed all the time, and Bai Ling couldn't help but feel a little worried.

was busy until dawn, and Bai Ling took the time to rest for a while, but he couldn't take advantage of the time difference, after all, there was a little girl by his side.

"Dad, the county lord Ming'er is leaving, I want to go with me." Li Jin, the son of the village chief, didn't sleep well all night, so he came to talk to the village chief early in the morning.

"Nonsense!" The village chief said with a straight face: "Our village is like this now, if you don't follow me, how can you inherit the position of village chief in the future?" Besides, can there be a shortage of people around the county lord? You only know a few big characters, what can the county lord do with you? ”

"Even if you can't stay with the county lord in the future, you can follow the county lord out for a long time. Not to mention that our village is the poorest in ten miles and eight villages, that's pretty much it. Don't talk about following the nobles, even if you go out to do things, you are also the hardest and most tiring, no one wants to use it, you ......"

When the village chief said this, his eyes were red.

"I'm just here to talk to my father, and if my father doesn't agree, I'm going to try. It's because our village is so poor that I want to follow the county lord, maybe when I come back, our village won't have to live so hard anymore, has my father forgotten about winter wheat? ”

Li Jin had made up his mind, and turned around and left.

The village chief wanted to stop his son, but he was afraid that he would make a noise to Bai Ling and annoy her, so he didn't dare to make a sound.

The daughter-in-law of the village chief, who came in with half a basin of cornmeal batter, wiped her tears after putting the basin down, and choked up:

"If you are in charge, you will listen to your son once. I see that the county lord is kind-hearted, and he didn't bring anyone with him when he came out this time, even if he asked his son to lead the way, he couldn't lose it. If he can really follow the county lord, his son will be able to make his life better, and maybe he can really make our village's life better. ”

"My son's brain was kicked by a donkey, are you also pretending to be a slurry? Why has our village become more and more sad over the years, and you still don't understand the reason? The village chief turned around angrily and sat on the kang and filled himself with a bag of dry tobacco.

The village chief's daughter-in-law turned pale and didn't dare to speak anymore.

After Bai Ling got up, he drank some gruel and began to be busy with the doctor again, until he was finally able to take a breath at sunset.

Lao Wu drove the carriage back, and the villagers were busy unloading medicinal herbs.

"Drink a bowl of hot water first, and go to the cold." Bai Ling found that Lao Wu's face was not good, but he was not in a hurry to ask what happened.

Lao Wu poured a bowl of warm white water, and briefly told Bai Ling what he encountered in the town.

There are two infirmaries in the town, and when one heard that they wanted to buy medicine for typhoid fever, they were very warmly entertained, but they sold it for a sky-high price of ten taels of silver, even if Lao Wu reported the name of the county lord, he did not buy it at all.

Although the price of medicine in another medical hall is also higher than usual, it is not outrageous, and when Lao Wu spent money, he immediately chartered a carriage of medicinal materials to come out, but he refused to sell any more.

After that, Lao Wu took Bai Ling's post to the mayor's house, but the mayor's wife said that the mayor was busy inspecting the disaster, and said that she couldn't be the master of a woman's family, so she sent Lao Wu away.

"This mayor is sympathetic to the people." Bai Ling opened his mouth lightly, looked at the village chief with a not very good-looking face, and did not say much.

"Hmph, half of the property in the town is owned by the mayor's family, or it is bought and sold by the mayor's relatives. Our Quanshui Town, who doesn't know that the mayor of the town is a man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and he can do it to rob the people's daughters, this cold day, and the New Year's month, he can care about the life and death of our mud-legged people? ”

Li Jin said angrily.

"Shut up!" The village chief shouted angrily, but Li Jin spoke too fast, and what he should have said was almost the same.

"Lao Wu, you go to the town to investigate, if this mayor can only oppress the people, you can send a message to the prefect."

Bai Ling glanced at Li Jin, but his words were ordered to Lao Wu.

"Let someone talk to my father, the situation here can't be delayed, come over as soon as possible." Ming'er, let's go to the next village, and you can watch the distribution of medicinal materials. ”

Bai Ling's words made Li Jin's eyes light up, and regardless of the village chief's eyes, he knelt down on one knee and said:

"County Lord, I want to follow you to do things. I know that I don't have any skills, but I am obedient and powerful, especially the affairs of this spring town, I know almost everything, and I also know the roads of ten miles and eight villages. ”

Bai Ling had already found out what Li Jin wanted to say, and the village chief wanted to stop something, which would be understood.

"If you follow me, you might be in danger, and you don't get paid much. And I can't tolerate betrayal, the consequences are very serious, are you sure you want to follow me to do things? Bai Ling rubbed the rough porcelain bowl and said slowly.

"Yes." Li Jin nodded heavily and said his intentions clearly, which frightened the village chief.

Bai Ling shook his head and smiled, "You are sincere." ”

"Then the county lord agreed?" Li Jin was overjoyed.

"During this time, you can stay with me, a salary of ten taels of silver a month. As for what you want to do to make the village rich, don't worry about this, and when my father comes over, I will talk to your father. ”

Bai Lingdao.

Zixiao City is the fiefdom of the Han Palace, even if it is a small village, Bai Ling will not take it lightly.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, although the Han Wangfu has no rebellious heart, but the people of the territory are dedicated to the Han Wangfu, and there is no harm to the Han Wangfu.

As for the mayor......

Bai Ling slowly hooked the corners of his lips, and asked Lao Wu to go to the town by moonlight that night.

The imperial court does not go to court before the fifteenth day of the first month, unless it is a particularly urgent matter, and the fold can be directly passed into the palace, otherwise it must be temporarily suppressed.

The emperor is also going to take a holiday.

The snow road is difficult to walk, and the snow disaster in Zixiao City will take some time to reach the royal case.

Bai Ling used some special means to get the mayor to agree to sell the medicinal materials for typhoid fever to Bai Ling for disaster relief at a price three times more expensive than usual.

This time, Bai Ling didn't plan to invite the doctors in the town, and he already didn't trust their character.

"Master, don't you think there is something strange about this time?" As the mayor's favorite aunt, when Aunt Hua served tea, she opened her mouth delicately.

"What's the matter?" The mayor of the town has suffered a crime in the past few days, and his fat face has lost its former shine.

"What kind of county lord is that, the front foot only sent someone to buy medicine, but it couldn't be bought, and the lady sent her people again, and the back foot master was sick, and no one could cure it except the county lord, and then you agreed to sell the medicine to her, could it be ......?"

Aunt Hua's words were only half said, but the meaning was obvious.

The medical hall that sells the most expensive medicine is Aunt Hua's mother's family, and this time it has made a lot less money, so I have to let people investigate.

"Damn! A county lord who has no support and no reliance dares to calculate on my head, I want her to not be able to get out of Quanshui County! Mayor Town angrily smashed the teacup.

Aunt Hua hooked her lips and smiled, waiting for the mayor to avenge her.

Bai Ling, who was still healing the people, didn't know that the mayor was already going to attack her, after all, her men and horses were not enough to cover the entire Zixiao City.
