Chapter 1632: Chapter 1631: Publishing the News
All along, Qiao Xiaomai’s plan was to use the profits from selling Floral Dew to wealthy patrons and then redirect the silver earned into building roads and canals.
Once the canals and bluestone roads were completed, Heaven would surely reward her with rit for these deeds.
Now there were impoverished people seeking her help directly. This was an opportunity to do good without intricate sches; as long as she provided Floral Dew to this pair of grandparents, she would be engaging in a virtuous act.
Building canals and roads were endeavors that benefited the nation and its citizens, achievents worthy of a place in history, immortalized for generations to co—truly remarkable rit.
Healing one person was also a good deed, but the rit was too minor—a scale too small for Qiao Xiaomai, who was eager to use the Divine Liquid, to occupy her attention.
She had previously ignored such minor acts, but now, with people seeking her aid directly, she could no longer turn a blind eye.
After consulting an imperial physician, she cheerfully prepared ten jars of Floral Dew for this pair of grandparents, and then had them sign a lifeti contract. Considering the value of the Floral Dew, working for a lifeti would not suffice for them to repay the cost.
Furthermore, they were originally common folks; now they beca lifelong contract workers for the Royal family, their livelihood secured. For this pair of grandparents, this was not exploitation—it was a fortune they had earnestly desired.
They knelt down before Qiao Xiaomai to express their gratitude—profuse gratitude, to be precise.
Qiao Xiaomai accepted it calmly, arranged a safe place for the grandparents, and then went to find Yang Wenxiao.
She wanted to publish an announcent in the *Daqi Monthly* stating that if any impoverished individual needed Floral Dew to nourish their health, they could register with their local governnt office, which would escort them to Field Manor in the Capital City to seek her aid.
She would provide Floral Dew to these people, who would then remain at Field Manor to work off their debt from that day forward.
Zhuang Lühe had spent the past year tirelessly working to heal the poor, focusing her efforts around the Capital City. She feared neither hardship nor fatigue, going door-to-door to interview families, striving to help every individual in need of care.
The materials Zhuang Lühe used ca from donations by wealthy individuals, most of which were procured through Bei Yun. These donations largely consisted of clothing and food. The food could only be distributed within the Capital City for the impoverished there to consu, while for regions farther out, the donations were mainly clothing.
Clothing was indeed useful for the impoverished, but their problems extended far beyond lacking garnts. Many were ill and had spent all their money on dical treatnt—this was no rare occurrence. What they truly needed was dicine.
Herbal dicine was even scarcer than food.
Apart from so pharmacies cultivating Herbal dicine, few others engaged in its cultivation. Soone like Bei Lingsu often had to collect herbs herself for the treatnts she required.
Thus, Zhuang Lühe was unable to distribute dicinal materials.
Without dicinal materials, only clothing could be provided, aning those who were ill would inevitably die.
Now Qiao Xiaomai had given these people an opportunity. As long as they were truly impoverished and suffering from illness, they could appeal to the local governnt office, which would escort them to Field Manor. Qiao Xiaomai would provide Floral Dew to them.
Of course, Qiao Xiaomai explicitly stated that Floral Dew was solely for nourishing the body; it was not a redy and certainly could not cure all ailnts. It served only as a thod of recuperation. Those requiring other dicinal treatnts should not co, as she would not be able to assist them.
Yang Wenxiao, upon hearing her proposition, was sowhat skeptical. “Doesn’t the Capital City have Bei Lingsu? Those who cannot recover with Floral Dew can be referred to her.”
By now, Bei Lingsu had been teaching for a year. Based on her own words, she had imparted essentially all the knowledge she could. This batch of apprentices was ready to graduate.
Since the announcent would be published in *Daqi Monthly*, it was only logical to admit all patients together.
