In the next two days, Lin Joy carefully compiled the data copied from the village chief, and then verified his conjecture.
In the past forty years in Da'ao Village, there have been very few people who gave birth to two children, and even fewer who had more than two children, and most of them had children in their twenties.
Even though he is not very old, this was in ancient times, so it was very abnormal.
Lin Yuxi brought the compiled information and went to the village chief with Chen Zhongqian. When she pointed out this problem, the village chief realized that this was no coincidence.
"It's true that the number of people in our village is getting smaller and smaller, but I haven't thought about it. In other words, there are more and more people in some villages. There is a problem."
Lin Joy said, "There may be something wrong somewhere."
"Where is that?"
She shook her head, "I can't tell for the moment, but the population has decreased so much in the past forty years, which is a big problem in itself. I think the village chief can report it to the Yamen and see if the Yamen will submit it to the higher authorities. Maybe
Can we find out?"
Population is also a country's capital. If a place's population has shrunk so drastically, it should be taken seriously.
The village chief was a little hesitant. Who would want to take the initiative to deal with the government if they were living a good life? If this matter was not that simple, he might have to involve himself.
"After all, we can't provide any evidence for this, and the government probably won't care about it. The world is in chaos now. Even if the problem is solved now and we have more people, we can't immediately go to the battlefield to fight. I
I guess this matter will be settled in the end."
Lin Yuxi saw that he didn't want to take care of it, so he didn't force it, "Forget it then, thank you to the village chief for letting us look at those brochures."
The village chief smiled and said, "What's the point? I should thank you. If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought there was any problem. I was just worried that there were fewer and fewer people in the village. What do you think of the village?"
It’s a good thing to be considerate.”
Chen Zhongqian and Lin Yuxi sat for a while and then left. The village chief's wife came in from the yard and said, "Why do they care so much about these things? Does Zhong Qian want to be the village chief?"
The village chief shook his head, "I have nothing against you all these years. Zhong Qian is so young, how could he want to be the village chief? I heard that Hexi is working as an apprentice for the doctor of Renji Hall. I guess it is for the sake of our village.
There are many cases of young wives not being able to give birth to children."
The village chief's daughter-in-law said, "That's an important matter. I heard that Renjitang is very good at treating this. We should also let my daughter-in-law take a look. It's important to have two more grandchildren."
The village chief waved his hand, "What do you tell me about this? Just take it with you. Don't worry about the cost of the soup and medicine. It's fun to have more children at home. We have someone to rely on when we get old."
"Hey, I get it."
After returning home, Lin Yuxi said, "It seems that the village chief doesn't want to get involved in this matter, but I always feel that there is something wrong. Our village's diet and lifestyle should be carefully investigated. This matter is up to us."
It can’t be done.”
Chen Zhongqian took out a pen and paper, "I can write a letter and submit it to the Yamen."
"May I?"
Lin Huihe seemed to see hope again, and rushed over and lay down on his desk, his eyes shining brightly.
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "What's wrong with this? It's just that what I wrote won't make waves, but I can ask Dean Yue to come forward, and at least I can guarantee that the county magistrate will read this letter."
"That's great." Lin Yuxi smiled happily. She liked to figure things out. She knew there was a problem, but couldn't find the reason, and she always felt weird in her heart.
Chen Zhongqian wrote a letter carefully, explaining the matter very clearly, and then went to Dean Yue and asked him to help him.
Dean Yue snorted arrogantly, "You didn't even choose me to be your teacher, yet you asked me for help."
"I can also go to Qingtai Mountain first and talk to the teacher."
Dean Yue was angry, but the final result was not the same. The old lady forced him to help with things that the old man couldn't do. In the end, it was still his business.
Just thinking about it makes me feel aggrieved. Why is he so miserable?
Chen Zhongqian said, "You are the teacher of all students in Yueshan Academy."
When Dean Yue thought about it, that was true, and he immediately felt less aggrieved.
"Trust me, I will have someone send it to the Yamen, but the Yamen may not be able to take care of this matter. I can't help with anything else."
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "We have done what we should do, and I will not force anything else. Thank you, Dean."
He walked out of the dean's small courtyard, where Lushan Ming was waiting. He immediately asked, "What do you want from my teacher?"
Chen Zhongqian raised his eyebrows and said, "If you ask him if he regrets it, let's see if we need to change students."
"Don't even think about it."
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "He did reject me, but don't let him down. That will give me a chance."
Lu Shanming suddenly turned red with anger, "I will never let you take advantage of me. I will let the dean know that I am the most worthy of cultivation in the entire Yueshan Academy."
"You don't have to shout it out, just remember it in your mind." Chen Zhongqian smiled and said, "Class is about to begin."
When you make people angry, they become happy.
Dean Yue delivered the letter to the county magistrate for them. As for what will happen next, no one can know.
Lin Yuxi feels that she has done what she should do. She is just a little doctor, and treating illnesses and saving people is her top priority.
Now that Shanhetang has been opened again, the subject of the previous life has found an experimental platform, so just concentrate on doing the things in front of you.
Lin Yuxi also sold the white peony pearl powder she made at Shanhetang, which attracted the attention of many beauty-loving women. The price was certainly not cheap.
Shanhetang not only took away some patients from several medical clinics in the town, but even the cosmetics shop lost some customers.
After waiting and waiting, Du Chongwen finally received a reply from his boss, telling him not to be nervous. The higher he climbed to Shanhetang, the harder he would fall.
Du Chongwen was confused after seeing the reply. Judging from the current situation, it would be difficult for them to compete with Shanhetang, but the boss said so firmly.
Is there anything that Shanhetang can’t handle?
It's one thing to have doubts in his heart. He will never disobey his boss's order and tell him not to take care of it. Then he will definitely not take care of it.
The weather has gradually warmed up in March, and there are more and more infertile patients in Renji Hall. Lin Yuxi feels that this place has almost become a reproductive clinic.
She stayed at Renji Hall for another day and was about to go home when a patient with a high fever that persisted was sent outside.
It was sent here by people from another medical clinic in town. They treated it for two days, but the fever still persisted, so they sent it to Renjitang for a look.
Shopkeeper Zhao was very cautious, fearing that someone would set a trap for Renjitang. However, he had a relationship with the shopkeeper of that medical clinic and could be sure that he was not that kind of person, so he accepted the patient.
