"Sir, continue to arrange for people to boil water and boil salt for them, and then cook some porridge for each person to feed them. Arrange people to find some herbs!" Chen Xu gave a series of instructions after returning.

Jiang Beiting did not dare to neglect. At this time, he agreed to whatever Chen Xu said, and after a series of orders, the soldiers and civilians began to work. Chen Xu found Ma Erdan and Niu Dazhuang, and called the doctor and divination to give orders. Then he led hundreds of people to disperse and began to look for the medicinal materials needed in the surrounding hills and forests.

Isatis root, licorice, wild ginger, scutellaria baicalensis, and coptis chinensis. Anyway, as long as he vaguely remembers that it can cure fire and sterilize and treat diarrhea, it is necessary.

As for the medicinal properties, there is no way to take into account. Anyway, people in this era are very patient with stomach and intestines, and side effects are nothing compared to life.

After being busy for more than an hour, a lot of messy things were brought back. Some of them were not medicine at all, but they just looked like it. When Chen Xu was cleaning, he found several large wild kudzu roots, which were made by doctors and diarrhea. He said that it could also treat diarrhea and dehydration. Chen Xu felt that it was fine. The kudzu root was not poisonous anyway, and it seemed to have the effect of clearing fire, so he picked it up and used it.

After getting these useful medicinal materials out, people will be arranged to smash them with an axe and then cook them in a clay pot. The amount can only be based on their feelings, similar to the later XX blended oil, one to one.

Soon, as piles of flames ignited, a strong smell of Chinese medicine also emanated from the air, and Jiangbeiting no longer looked like a county magistrate. Under the command of a loud shout, hundreds of meters turned into a huge field hospital, with civilians and soldiers running around everywhere.

"Okay, you can start feeding medicine. If you are seriously ill, you will have one bowl for each person, and if you are mild, you will have half a bowl for each person!" Chen Xu saw that the cans of potions were almost cooked and ordered to start feeding medicine, so hundreds of people became excited.

"Hu~" Chen Xu sat on the roadbed with sweat on his forehead, looking at the busy men and soldiers and began to smile bitterly.

"Nephew, I really thank you this time!" Jiang Beiting didn't have the aphor of a county magistrate, and he was sweating all over his head and sat next to Chen Xu without any image. He was a dignified county magistrate, and at this time he looked not much different from the mountain folk, and he was covered in plaster and dust.

"This is all the things that my subordinates can do. Why should the county magistrate thank you? If it is really a plague, I'm afraid my subordinates will be helpless!" Chen Xu quickly bowed, and then looked at the excited and excited man after drinking the medicine, and sighed slowly, "Rise, the people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer, since ancient times, only these farmers are the most suffering, what is my hard work!"

"Rise, the people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer..." Jiang Beiting murmured several times, and then sighed, "The nephew said it well. From ancient times to the present, no matter the rise and fall of the country, these civil servants and men are the hardest. His Majesty the First Emperor is too anxious. As an official, even if we are unbearable, we can't protect ourselves. The law is like a mountain. All the kings under the world are kings, and all the officials who lead the men are kings, and no one dares to refuse to obey! However, this time, the nephew resolves the plague and I will report it to the county magistrate for you in detail. Maybe there will be rewards soon!"

Chen Xu did not refuse. Being able to show his face frequently in front of his leaders is also a good start. At least he can be familiar with him. Once he has the opportunity to get the popularity of Qin Shihuang through these contributions, his plans can be realized slowly.

Whether it is Qinghe Town or Zhi County, they are just a mountain corner, and they will not achieve much success until they die, let alone Qin Shihuang will have no ability to protect himself in the future, so he must be able to get to the level that Qin Shihuang can be attracted by as soon as possible.

Maybe it is because people of this era have good physical fitness, or it may be that these pure natural and wild medicinal materials have good efficacy. Anyway, after a dose of medicine, noon, noon, no matter how serious the condition is, at least the symptoms of diarrhea have almost disappeared. Moreover, the dying men were able to get up last night and eat porridge by themselves.

After two consecutive doses of medicine at noon and evening, and eating some food, most of the sick people's complexion improved significantly. Except for six or seven who were still lying to rest, the epidemic has been completely curbed, so the haze that has been shrouded on the construction site for several miles has been wiped out.

"Thank you, the county magistrate, and thank you for your life!"

Jiangbeiting and Chen Xu rode back and forth on horseback. Whenever they went, all the civilians knelt down and kowtowed and shouted, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

"The people are hungry and suffering, so few people are asking for!" Jiang Beiting sat on the horse's back, stroking his beards and twitching, his emotions completely relaxed.

"Sir, Chen Xu has something to ask for!" Chen Xu followed by the side, looking at the ragged and hungry husband, and walked silently for a long time before speaking.

"This time, the elimination of the disease epidemic is all due to the merits of a virtuous nephew. If you have anything to do, you will not refuse the matter I can do my best!" Jiang Beiting said with a smile.

"I heard that the daily food for the people is only one pound of coarse grains for beans and wheat, and building roads is extremely physically consuming. Only by eating enough can you have the energy to work. I want to ask the county magistrate to increase some food for the people!" Chen Xu said.

Jiang Beiting was stunned for a moment, then slowed down his horse and pondered for a long time before saying, "The Qin Dynasty had a rule on food rations, one pound a day, which is a normal ration. If it is a slave to surrender, there is only half a pound of miscellaneous grains a day, I can't do anything about increasing food rations!"

"Have you seen a horse?" Chen Xu asked lightly.

Jiangbeiting didn't know why Chen Xu suddenly mentioned the horses and nodded, "Of course I have seen that the Qin Dynasty was established in a bitter and cold place in the northwest. Both the military and civilians rely on good horses. The horses you and I are now riding on are all Central Plains breeds, short and thin and weak, and seem strong and actually useless. The horses they ride on on the battlefield all come from the north, tall and strong, which is a good horse that travels thousands of miles a day. Why did the nephew suddenly ask this question?"

"Although a good horse is good, it is enough to feed it well. The daily food and grass that a good horse eats is more refined than that of soldiers, right?" Chen Xu asked.

"That's natural. All war horses, food and grass are customized by Taipu Mansion. One dou of beans, one dou of wheat, and thirty kilograms of fine grass. They will be doubled before the war!"

"So, the construction of the road depends entirely on these civilians. They are soldiers and good horses who charge into battle, one pound of coarse grain a day, and there is no fish, meat and meat. How can they withstand such heavy physical labor? There is a saying among the folks in the countryside that they want horses to run, and they want horses not to eat grass. If they continue for a long time, these civilians will only become thinner and tired. Even if they can be completed on time, they will fall into a serious illness. Whether it is officials or civilians, they are all descendants of the Chinese blood vessels. Why bother to force each other to fight each other?

Only by taking it from the people and using it for the people can the people willingly serve the Qin Dynasty. The soldiers who go to battle and kill the enemy can still obtain military merits. Now the Qin Dynasty is almost invincible to the world, and it is impossible for the civil servants to get military merits. However, building this road is also a contribution to the prosperity and stability of the Qin Dynasty in the future. It has both hard work and contribution, so why can't we get some good treatment? The county magistrate said just now that there are very few people who seek, just to fill their stomachs, cover their bodies with one clothes, and sleep at the same time..." Chen Xu said while walking.

After hearing this, Jiang Beiting was silent for a long time. Looking at the ragged men kneeling down and kowtowing and thanking, he sighed slowly, "What my dear nephew said is right. I will definitely go to visit the county magistrate to tell this matter tomorrow, but whether it is successful or not, I dare not make any guarantee!"

"Thank you, the county magistrate. Whether Cheng or not, you will be grateful. If the two thousand civilians here know, they will be grateful to you!" Chen Xu said quickly.
