Next, Jiang Yuqing pointed out everyone's shortcomings one by one and corrected them bit by bit.
From how to transport the wounded, how to ergency hemostasis, how to grade and tie colored bands for the wounded, how the military doctors and dical apprentices can cooperate to maximize their effectiveness, and how to manage the wards, she taught them hands-on.
It took three days to teach.
She forcibly turned the ssy wounded camp into a well-regulated and well-trained one.
During this period, the generals also arranged for the soldiers to receive so superficial ergency first aid training on the battlefield during their normal training.
As the little county chief said, the more skills they learn, the greater the chance to survive on the battlefield in the future.
Who wants to die if they can live!
It was Jiang Yuqing's first training and she achieved initial results. Because there were other things to do, she had to leave.
Before leaving, she told the military doctors that she would open a dical clinic in Su Prefecture after the New Year. The generals had already agreed to let them go to her place to learn celestial dicine in batches next year.
The military doctors were instantly overjoyed.
When Jiang Yuqing left the big camp, not only the few generals, but all the soldiers who were free ca to the main entrance to see her off.
Jiang Yuqing rode on the white pony with her small dicine box on her back. She waved vigorously at them, "Co back quickly, everyone. I will co to see you often in the future."
Then she turned the deer’s head, and left with the few generals sent by Qin Yijian to escort her. If she didn’t leave, they would have kept standing at the camp gate without going back.
The weather had been nice these past few days. Without the burden of the carriage, the group rushed with fast horses and arrived back at the governnt office after just two days.
The husband and wife hugged their daughter affectionately for a while, then checked her from head to toe. Seeing that their daughter was safe and sound, they finally felt relieved.
The few generals who escorted Jiang Yuqing went back to camp at the first light of dawn the next day.
Then, Jiang Yuqing went to Changlong Leather Goods Store and Dingtaifeng Clothing Store again to urge them to hurry up. After returning ho, she also asked her father for so people and sent them to the grassland to buy sheep. The New Year was approaching soon and she wanted to add a dish to the New Year’s Eve dinner for the big camp.
Jiang Wenyuan only asked one thing before readily giving the people. Not only that, he also took money out of his own pocket and gave her more silver, as a token of his feelings. Jiang Yuqing gladly accepted it!
In the capital city, after the Emperor received the urgent morial presented by Jiang Wenyuan, he was really shocked. Good stuff, was this a morial? It was said that people believed in this novel, this was too thick.
Although he complained inwardly,
The emperor still opened it and read it carefully. He was more and more frightened as he read it, and his expression changed again and again. Finally, he simply slapped the table in surprise.
After closing the morial, he let out a long sigh, and said lightly, "Go, summon the Minister of Revenue Zhang Xiu, the Minister of Public Works Wen Wuji, and the Deputy Minister of Agriculture Jin Yaolin to enter the palace."
The little eunuch took the order and left quickly.
Not long after, several superiors who entered the palace coincidentally t halfway.
Jin Yaolin bowed with clasped hands to Zhang Xiu and Wen Wuji and said, "Do Their Excellencies know why His Majesty has summoned us to enter the palace?"
Zhang Xiu said, "I heard that another letter has arrived from Su Prefecture."
Everyone suddenly understood.
The previous incident in Zengping County, Su Prefecture caused the Emperor to be furious. He dragged out the forr prefect of Su Prefecture and scolded him until his face was covered with blood, saying that he was derelict in his supervision and did not know that such a big thing happened under his rule, and so on.
The gentleman had already been demoted to the sa obscure place as the vice-prefect because his political achievent evaluation was "very poor".
Now that’s done, he couldn’t even be the vice-prefect anymore and was directly demoted to a seventh-grade county magistrate. I heard that he left in tears.
It was almost evening now, and His Majesty had summoned them again. It must not be a trivial matter.
A few people entered the Imperial Study. After saluting, the Emperor placed the very thick morial that looked like a book in front of several people, "Take a look and give your thoughts!"
A few people gathered around and had just read halfway when lamps were lit in the Imperial Study. Not until their feet were almost numb from standing did they finish reading it. Then they looked at each other with admiring expressions.
The morial recorded what he saw during his secret visits and inspections of subordinate counties after arriving in Su Prefecture, as well as the climate, geography, and people's livelihood along the way.
It detailed the terrain, climate, soil quality, water resources, and products of each county, as well as their deficiencies.
And according to the climate, terrain and soil characteristics of each county, detailed plans were made for the next three years, called the "Three-Year Plan".
It ntioned that two new drought- and barren-resistant grain varieties would be tested across Su Prefecture next year, and water conservancy would be developed throughout the prefecture.
Developing water conservancy requires a lot of silver. Jiang Wenyuan also considered this. For now, he would attract investnt from across the country with the new grain varieties and their deep processing technology as collateral.
They vaguely knew about this “attracting investnt”. It was similar to when the Marquis of Qing Prefecture attracted other major rchants to invest and establish food processing plants by using fruit deep processing technology during the fruit sales slump in Qing Prefecture. It was almost the sa idea.
It had to be said that this was indeed a good thod.
In the end, it concluded by requesting "The people of Su Prefecture have suffered for a long ti. Your subject kneels to beg Your Majesty to send several talented people proficient in water conservancy and carpentry to Su Prefecture to help the people of Su Prefecture with all their strength."
The whole text was nearly 20,000 words without a single waste of words.
"What do you think, ministers?"
Zhang Xiu imdiately said, "Give it to him, you must give it to him!" As long as he wasn't asking him for money, everything was fine to say. Moreover, his plans were quite promising, this guy had real talent.
Wen Wuji agreed. Water conservancy was originally under his ministry anyway.
As for Jin Yaolin, he raised both hands in approval even more. How could the Ministry of Agriculture do without new crop varieties?
The next day, the Emperor also announced the matter at the morning court and obtained the unanimous approval of the civil and military officials.
So the Emperor ordered the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Agriculture to select 20 talents each and set off for Su Prefecture imdiately after the New Year.
Su Prefecture.
After the sheep purchase was properly arranged, Jiang Yuqing imdiately took out a bunch of dicinal materials from the Spiritual Realm, pretending they were bought outside, and used horse carts to take them back to the large courtyard.
The soldiers were severely frostbitten and ointnt for chilblains had to be prepared.
In the coming days, Jiang Yuqing taught the young ladies hands-on how to slice and crush the dicinal materials, and then decoct them into jars of chilblain ointnt.
Just in ti, the people who went to buy sheep also drove back over 200 sheep.
Jiang Yuqing sent these chilblain ointnts together with the newly made 20,000 pairs of boots to Yun Pass by her father before the New Year.
When the veteran general Qin Yijian received the report from his subordinates that the young lady of Linghui County had sent another 200 sheep and a batch of dicine and supplies to treat frostbite, his eyes instantly turned red. He felt this young lady really cared!
The one responsible for delivering the items was an aide of Jiang Wenyuan’s. He said, "My county chief said that during her stay at the big camp, various generals and soldiers took good care of her.
She has no way to repay them, so she bought so sheep hoping to add a dish to the soldiers' New Year's Eve dinner. She asked to convey her early New Year blessings in advance and wish everyone a peaceful and healthy new year!"
Qin Yijian said, "Also convey my regards to your county chief and Marquis, and thank them! From now on, wherever there is a place that needs Qin Yijian, this old man will go even if it ans certain death!"
The aide bowed with his hands cupped and said, "Alright, I will definitely convey it! It’s cold, General Qin and soldiers should go back!" After speaking, he turned around, rode off and left!
If he didn't leave now, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back his tears.
In the wind and snow, Su Prefecture welcod another New Year’s Eve.
On the eve of this new year, shopkeepers of several grain shops and rice shops were surprised to find that the white flour in their shops had completely sold out. This had never happened before.
Moreover, the vast majority who ca to buy were ordinary commoners. Although it was only two or three catties, three or five catties each ti, it was still enough to make a al of white flour buns or a al of vegetarian dumplings.
It looked like the New Year was getting better and they could probably stock more goods next year!
Similarly, other businesses all felt that this year’s business before the New Year was much better. This was really a good sign!
During the New Year, Jiang Yuqing only stayed at ho for three days from the 30th of the lunar month to the 2nd. On the 3rd, she took Granny Yan and Er Yu to the large courtyard.
Her yarn had been dyed and it was ti to start making woolen clothes.
Jiang Yuqing’s embroidery skills were very average. Strictly speaking, she only knew the most basic stitches. She had never even knitted a sweater before, only two pairs of gloves.
Even for that, it was arranged by the welfare institute as an external activity.
She took the specially ordered carved wool needles and began teaching the girls how to cast on, increase and decrease stitches, and so of the most basic knitting techniques, before allowing them to freely create on their own.
When it ca to won's handiwork, ancient won's talents were simply ceiling-level.
In just a few days, not only did they learn how to knit sweaters, they even invented several knitting techniques, with exceptionally beautiful patterns woven out.
Then, it beca unstoppable. All kinds of sweaters, scarves, gloves, socks, hats and more started coming out.
Among them was a girl nad Luo Zhi. She really lived up to her na, weaving quickly, excellently and beautifully.
She said ever since she was little, she liked these things much more than recognizing characters and identifying dicinal materials.
Jiang Yuqing felt a stir in her heart, thinking that in the future, she could open a wool shop, and have this girl go there as the master to teach people how to knit sweaters, which would definitely work.
If others had different talents, they wouldn't necessarily have to be restricted to studying dicine. Her original intention was only to give them all a place to settle down.
She told Luo Zhi her idea at the ti. Luo Zhi was very happy and said that if she did open a wool shop, she would be willing to go as the master teaching people how to knit. The girls were all very envious of Luo Zhi’s skill.
Jiang Yuqing said, “Don’t be envious of her. In the future, if you also have other interests or special skills, you can also tell . I will try my best to arrange suitable positions for all of you.” The girls happily agreed.
The wool procured last ti was not a lot. If opening the store now, it would definitely not be enough. But there was enough wool to make clothes for their own relatives and friends.
So Jiang Yuqing asked the girls to make sets of woolen sweaters and pants for her own parents, master and senior martial brother in the capital city, the emperor and crown prince, and relatives back in her hotown Qingzhou, plus scarves, gloves, socks and other accessories for a full set.
Jiang Wenyuan knitted his first. After trying it on, he exclaid how light and warm it was, and that it really was an amazing thing.
Hearing that these were woven from those sheep’s wool, Jiang Wenyuan valued next year’s sheep raising business on the grasslands even more.
Such a novel yet practical thing, not only did Concubine Yan and Madam Er Yu like them, even the four maids beside his mother, including his mother Lu, took a strong interest.
Jiang Yuqing had no choice but to specially invite Luo Zhi to the manor to teach them how to knit wool.
As ti went by, more and more woven pieces piled up. Jiang Yuqing neatly packed up the sets, affixed nas, and separately sent them to the capital city and her hotown Qingzhou.
She thought that by the ti the things arrived, it would be cold in the capital city and they could wear them for a month. Her hotown was warr, and they might only be able to try them on for a bit before having to store them at the bottom of chests until winter ca around later in the year.
