  Chapter 440 Is this guy really the number one in the exam?

   After Li Wenyuan left Su Jingchen's study, Yu Xiaolian opened the door and went in. The two of them were very busy during this period, so they hadn't seen each other for more than a month.

As soon as Yu Xiaolian returned to Yangcheng, she found that there were a lot of faces in the county government. After asking Su Jingchen, she found out that these people were sent by Qian Xiancheng to seal off the villages with the epidemic, and now he has called them back. .

   "You call those people back, what if those people wander around and the epidemic spreads?" Yu Xiaolian asked Su Jingchen while handing the sweet soup that was just stewed in the kitchen.

  Su Jingchen took the sweet soup, but didn't drink it, but put it in a corner of the desk.

"I have looked through many medical records. Although this fever is contagious to a certain extent, it is not uncontrollable. It's just that Beidi is too poor now, and the lack of medical treatment is the most deadly. Now the county government Although the debt problem on the books has been resolved, if we want to control the epidemic as soon as possible and reduce the fatality rate, the only way is for the county government to give villagers free medical treatment and medicine."

  Su Jingchen would not recite the silver taels owed on the account. It turned out that the owner of the county government had recited the bad debt.

  When Su Jingchen said this, Yu Xiaolian already understood what Su Jingchen meant, and he wanted to save the people of Yangcheng with his own money.

  Yu Xiaolian thought the same way on the way back. To run a free clinic to treat people suffering from fever, the two of them hit it off.

  Yu Xiaolian took out twelve taels and one ingot of silver from the space, thirty in total, and placed them in rows on Su Jingchen's table.

   "You use this money to buy medicinal materials first, don't you know if it's enough?"

Su Jingchen shook his head lightly, "Although Yangcheng is losing a lot of people, there are still more than 5,000 households and a population of more than 40,000. In addition to the money needed for the epidemic, there are also road constructions. Money can be used to hire youth labor, which can also promote population repatriation.

  In addition to these, I also want to reduce this year's exorbitant taxes..."

  Yu Xiaolian planned for Su Jingchen, "How much is enough?"

  Although Yu Xiaolian is very supportive of Su Jingchen's cause, is it really okay for a county magistrate to pay for construction out of his own pocket?

   "A preliminary estimate, I may need 1,500 taels of silver."

  It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. These days, it's almost impossible to do things without money.

  If Su Jingchen didn't want to be controlled by Qian Xiancheng, he had to act first, otherwise, the coming autumn tax, Qian Xiancheng might not be able to trip him up.

  He and Qian Xiancheng have already torn faces. Qian Xiancheng pushed Zhu Bo out to take the blame in order to get rid of himself.

  The upcoming autumn tax is the best opportunity for Qian Xiancheng to suppress Su Jingchen.

  Now most of the people are unable to pay taxes, food and tax money. Qian Xiancheng relies on his own means to get enough of the rigid targets of the imperial court. He bet that without his help, Su Jingchen would not be able to pay the duties to the higher authorities.

  One thousand five hundred taels, for Yu Xiaolian to come, is actually not a small amount, after all, there are only more than 80,000 taels of silver in her space, but Yu Xiaolian agreed without hesitation.

   Not for anything else, she also hopes to benefit the people of Yangcheng. Although she is unable to save the common people, she can at least protect one part of the land.

  Yu Xiaolian took out 1,500 taels of silver and gave it to Su Jingchen, "If it's not enough, tell me again!"

  She believed that Su Jingchen would not spend this money recklessly, and would definitely use it wisely.

   In the next few days, Su Jingchen and Yu Xiaolian were very busy. Su Jingchen was busy buying medicinal materials, hiring doctors to open free clinics, and occasionally had to try some trivial cases.

  Since the original master Bo was sentenced to death, Qian Xiancheng has been very cooperative with Su Jingchen, and he is not as arrogant as when Su Jingchen first came here.

After Yu Xiaolian walked around Yangcheng and Hewanzi, she found that a lot of cultivated land was empty, without seeds for cultivation, and tall grass grew on it. If this continues, the good land may be returned to forests. Isn't it plowing in vain?

  It is still too late to plant autumn vegetables, and Yu Xiaolian intends to let the people of Yangcheng plant a crop of Chinese cabbage at the end of summer.

  Although there are cabbages at this time, they are all scattered small cabbages, and there is no Chinese cabbage with pickled sauerkraut.

  And at this time, most people have never pickled sauerkraut, or mustard lumps. Most of them would dry and store autumn vegetables, just keep some in the cellar.

  Of course, the price of salt also has something to do with it. It is still a problem for the common people to eat salt, so why would they be willing to use it to pickle pickles?

Although there is salt in Yu Xiaolian's supermarket, they cannot be taken out blatantly and distributed to the common people. Although Su Jingchen is the magistrate of Yangcheng County, the imperial court's control over salt is too strict. If someone comes to check the source of salt, I'm afraid they can't explain it.

The first task is to let the people plant autumn cabbage. The cabbage grown from her cabbage seeds is very large. If the service is good, one can weigh about ten catties. Large cabbage is also easy to store. .

   Although this kind of cabbage seed is good, it can only be planted once, and it is impossible to keep the seeds. Therefore, once Yu Xiaolian started distributing this kind of rapeseed, she had to distribute some of it every year, and not too much, otherwise she would not be able to explain the source of the rapeseed if someone cares about it.

  After the free clinic shed was set up, Yu Xiaolian asked Su Jingchen to set up a place to distribute rapeseed beside it.

  Yu Xiaolian asked Cao Gen and Zhao Ping to wear the black masks she issued, and gave out free rapeseed to everyone who came to see the doctor. Each person only gave out a small packet, and the quantity was limited, first come first served.

"Our new county magistrate is really nice. I don't want the first one to care about us. Not only does he give us free medical treatment and medicine, but the county magistrate's wife also gives us cabbage seeds. I feel that our Yangcheng County is getting better!" the leader of the queue Some of the people in Caizi exclaimed.

Yu Xiaolian learned from Su Jingchen that although this kind of fever is highly contagious, it is also easy to treat, but in the prescriptions for fever, some medicines are slightly more expensive, which makes many people buy it. Without medicine, the disease was abruptly protracted.

   Now Su Jingchen set up a free clinic, and distributed medicine to everyone who was sick. After receiving the medicine, some people excitedly kowtowed in the direction of the county government.

  Yu Xiaolian and Su Jingchen's actions made Qian Xiancheng completely dumbfounded, this... this...

  Is this young magistrate a fool?

   Actually paid for the people’s medical treatment and medicine, and the people can also get free rapeseed after receiving the medicine for free.

  He has never seen such an official? Is this guy really the top pick in the exam? Isn't he the rich man's father, the official who spent money to donate to him?
