Chapter 26 Visitors
At this time, Yunzhou.
One thousand, six hundred boxes of water purification tablets have been shipped to the capital in two batches.
The remaining four hundred boxes are to be transported to General Lu on the way back to Beijing.
This thing is crucial for marching and fighting and improving the strength of the entire army.
Naturally, Li Heng would not leave everything to the other party, even if General Lu is now his.
"Your Highness, everything has been taken care of and we are ready to go." Liu Zhenglai reported.
"Okay." Li Heng nodded, stepped on the wooden stairs and got into the carriage.
Today is different from the past. Those forces in Yunzhou that did not cooperate and did not dare to sell the food they had were all in his hands.
After disaster relief and epidemic prevention, his reputation among the people increased, but he also became a thorn in the side of the capital.
Even if the special envoy dared not speak nonsense to protect himself, that person would not pull out the thorn in his heart.
The other son originally liked the other son more, not to mention that the news that he met an expert to help him had already spread to the capital.
If he doesn't go back for a day, that person will feel uneasy.
The carriage was about to leave the city. When it passed the entrance of the alley, Li Heng closed the curtain inside the carriage and looked at the buildings gradually going away.
He didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't put down his hands until the entrance of the alley was completely out of sight, and returned to his sitting position.
Fortunately, you can still enter that shop when you arrive in the capital.
The next day, the carriage arrived at the city where General Lu was stationed. Hearing that everyone would be driven away except for the trusted lieutenants, General Lu was still puzzled.
What did His Highness bring that could be used in this battle?
When Zhong Jing came in with a cardboard box and took out a white bottle from it, General Lu and the deputy general were dumbfounded.
The bottle is exquisitely made, and the cap does not leak at all. Moreover, this kind of bottle that I have never seen before is not afraid of being dropped.
"This is called water purification tablets, given by the elusive expert."
Zhong Jing asked Liu Zheng to take out his glass bottle and poured the slightly turbid river water into it, ignoring Liu Zheng's pained expression.
Then, under the puzzled looks of General Lu and the deputy general, he poured a water purification tablet into the water.
I saw the water purification tablets in the water starting to bubble. Seeing this scene, General Lu also exclaimed in wonder,
"This can really purify water? Doesn't the color of the water become clearer?" He expressed his doubts again.
Zhong Jing continued: "Water purification tablets cannot remove impurities floating in the water, but after leaving it for half an hour, they can remove disease-causing things that we cannot see. To remove impurities, you need to use charcoal and a clean cloth."
During wartime and on the march, it was impractical to boil water, and firewood and manpower were unaffordable. They drank river and well water directly, and whether they got sick or not depended on their fate.
General Lu looked carefully at the water that was no longer bubbling. Is this thing really that effective?
Thinking of the elixir his son used last time, he still somewhat believed it.
The deputy general went up and smelled it. There was no strange smell. He took a small sip and it seemed to be fine.
He specially went to find his nephew who had diarrhea due to drinking raw water the day before yesterday, and drank the water in one gulp.
This kid has just come from the capital, and his body and bones have not yet been fully trained. It will take a few hours to see if it is useful or not.
Li Heng rested here for the whole night. As expected, the deputy general's nephew was fine. That night, the deputy general found a few more people to try.
Seeing the benefits of this thing with his own eyes, General Lu found Li Heng early in the morning.
"Your Highness, can you get more of these water purification tablets?"
It looked like a lot, and it could be used quickly. Of course, he wanted to save more so that he would be prepared for future emergencies.
"This thing is rare. If something goes wrong if you put it all in one place, there will be nothing left. So I kept some in Beijing and can transport it over again when needed."
General Lu thought about His Highness's words and felt that they made sense. It was not safe to put them all in one place.
However, he also knew that the distribution and use of such an important thing would be strictly controlled, so he said nothing more.
While the big client continued to rush to the capital, Shen You went to the antique street to find someone to frame the calligraphy. She took it back and hung it on the wall, and the painting Zhong Jing traded was hung behind the tea table.
After that, Shen You took out the express delivery, got the tools, and started working under the desk lamp.
Before repairing a hairpin, you need to study the original craftsmanship to make it perfect.
Shen You also has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. If something goes wrong, he would rather tear it apart and start over again, but he can't stand the mistakes.
The silver wire originally used for the hairpin was very thin. She bought a similar one at the antique street, but if it was too thin, it would break if you weren't careful.
This was a meticulous job, and it took several hours to finally repair one spot.
The afternoon passed, and when the time was almost 7 o'clock, her cell phone rang suddenly. She thought it was takeout, but when she saw the caller ID, she didn't want to answer it.
It's her cousin-in-law.
Shen You took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Xiaoyou, have you eaten?" He greeted me pleasantly.
"I'll eat it right away." Shen You didn't want to waste time and asked directly, "What's the matter?"
"It's okay. We're just going to drive to Jiangcheng tomorrow. We'll arrive around six in the evening. Why don't we have a meal together? Your parents asked us to bring you something, so we can deliver it to you."
< br>
Shen You frowned.
She really didn't want to meet, but with the things her parents asked her to bring, it was impossible for her not to go.
No matter what, they couldn't let them know where her antique shop was.
When she told her parents at the time, she had never been here before, so she just said it was near Antique Street.
Later, I discovered that the store could lead to ancient times, and I dared not say the specific address.
"Sister-in-law, let's do this. You guys are tired after being on the road for three hours. I'll book a hotel and you can just drive there to eat." Shen You said.
"That's okay, you can send me the address tomorrow."
"Okay."
Shen You hung up the phone, went out to get takeout and came back. After finishing the meal, she turned on her phone to check for any suitable restaurants.
Although she goes to school in Jiangcheng, she doesn't like to go out and run around very much. Her familiarity with Jiangcheng is limited to a few specific areas.
The hotel must be chosen far away from the shops. It cannot be too expensive or too bad, otherwise these people will not know what to say when they go back.
She didn't care, but her parents were still living in the county, and it was already embarrassing for her father's workplace to make such a fuss.
In the end, Shen You chose a restaurant in the commercial plaza in the city center that served Jiangcheng specialties.
It's more than ten kilometers away from the store, which is great.
I called to book a small box and sent the address to my cousin.
An Lifeng replied quickly, asking if the hotel was far from her shop and whether it would be convenient for her to go there.
Shen You automatically ignored the first half of the sentence and typed: It's convenient.
An Lifeng, who was holding the mobile phone, felt relieved: That's good, see you tomorrow.
I think so. That girl doesn't have a car, so she probably won't book a hotel too far away. When the time comes for dinner, she can stop by her store to have a look.
The relative who gave Shen You the inheritance was also a relative of their family.
An Lifeng couldn't understand.
Shen You is just a little girl. If she gets married in the future, she will give others an advantage.
Why did she give the store to Shen You but not her husband?
Although I heard that the store was very old, it was still a house after all!
