Chapter 442 Setting off back home!
Mu Xin Nuan's words made Duanmu Chu Ze's eyes darken even more, and he hugged the person in his arms even tighter.
"Don't worry, Ah Nuan. This matter is indeed a bit strange. I will definitely have someone investigate it thoroughly."
Mu Xin Nuan seemed to have thought of something, shook her head, and sighed, "With so many refugees and so many people infected with the plague, finding out the root cause is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it's too difficult."
Duanmu Chuze frowned slightly. Indeed, with so many refugees, it would be quite difficult to find out who first fell ill.
“Aze, this incident has made me think of some things. We should arrange some preventative measures as early as possible to reduce the extent of the damage to the people.”
"what?"
Mu Xin Nuan choked slightly, "Uh, well, I can't really explain it. It's just that if something like this happens again, at least there should be some way for everyone to prepare in advance, so that we won't be in such a passive position."
Upon hearing her words, Duanmu Chuze thought of some disaster emergency plans from his previous life's government. Perhaps he could modify them slightly and use them in Yan.
The terrain of Yan is unique, with continuous mountain ranges, but the southern part is somewhat desolate, and further southwest lies a vast sea of sand. Therefore, the winds and sandstorms are severe, and droughts are frequent. Perhaps I can find a way to change all of this.
Therefore, the most important task should be to control the sandstorms. Only by controlling the sandstorms here can the overall environment be changed, and only then can the people here truly live a good life.
And how to control wind and sand?
Duanmu Chuze frowned. It seemed he needed to think carefully about the knowledge he had encountered in his previous life regarding sand control.
Of course, planting trees? This is the simplest and most direct method, but its effects are relatively slow; at the earliest, it will probably take three to five years. Moreover, I think I should go back and do some research on what kind of plants to plant in this area.
The arrival of Duanmu Chuze naturally alarmed the officials of Huayang County and even Yu County, who all followed.
The magistrate of Huayang County then realized that the person who had come to Huayang County a few days ago was actually Princess Chang Le herself! No wonder she was dressed in men's clothing, but there were only two maids in her own courtyard; it turned out she was the princess!
The magistrate of Huayang County was also a scholar. Seeing that Princess Chang Le was risking her life for the people of Huayang County, and that the prince had personally sent medicinal herbs to treat the epidemic, he believed that with such a master, Huayang County would soon be able to overcome the difficulties.
Zhao Zihe lived up to expectations, sleeping only two hours a day for the next few days. Most of the time, he was either at the medicine hut or at the front of the village taking pulses for the people.
Such a young and talented man went to such lengths for these seemingly dirty and ragged refugees, even personally feeding them medicine, which shows that he is indeed a person who cares deeply about the people.
Wouldn't it be a pity if such a talented young man couldn't be put to good use?
This was the conclusion Duanmu Chuze reached after spending several days with Duanmu Chuze!
In his view, Zhao Zihe was an extremely talented person, a fact that his previous agents had already thoroughly investigated. While Zhao Zihe was talented, he also had a major flaw: a lack of experience.
Zhao Zihe was young and went out to study. Although he was quite famous for his talent, he had very little contact with nobles.
In addition, he is the legitimate son of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. Such a status in the capital is naturally not considered high, but it is not too low either. After all, Zhao Qinghe has already reached the highest position in the Imperial Medical Academy. With such a father protecting him, he is unlikely to be taken advantage of by others.
However, precisely because he has such a father, and because he himself is skilled in medicine, he will inevitably be targeted by many people whenever he returns to the capital. As for what will happen next, it's really hard to say.
Now, in Duanmu Chuze's view, Zhao Zihe only has two options.
Firstly, upon returning to the capital, he would likely face setbacks before truly entering the court and serving the country. However, before that, he would probably have to endure further flattery and scheming from others. He wasn't worried that Zhao Zihe would succumb to temptations of wealth and women, but such a pure-hearted person would inevitably be taken advantage of.
The other path, of course, is to stay in Yan and serve Duanmu Chuze. At least with him around, Zhao Zihe can slowly learn some tricks of the trade and won't die too quickly!
A few days later, Duanmu Chuze took Mu Xinnuan back to Yanzhou. After all, they were a prince and princess and could not stay there for long. There were still many things to do in the other counties.
Before leaving, Duanmu Chuze had a long talk with Zhao Zihe. No one knows what they talked about. Even when Mu Xinnuan asked several times, Duanmu Chuze just smiled and refused to say.
Although Mu Xin Nuan knew that Duanmu Chu Ze doted on her and liked her, she also knew that there were some things that were probably not her business. Since he didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask either. However, deep down, she still hoped that Zhao Zi He could stay and help Duanmu Chu Ze.
Duanmu Chuze did not hide Zhao Zihe's reputation for talent from her, which made Mu Xinnuan feel that it would be better for someone with Zhao Zihe's temperament to stay in Yanzhou for the time being. At least, with Duanmu Chuze around, he would not be able to be manipulated at will.
Moreover, this is Yanzhou, which is far from the power in the capital. Compared to Zhao Qinghe, it is not bad for Zhao Zihe not to return to the capital.
The Zhao family has had a smooth and successful life in recent years, which is largely due to the fact that the Zhao family has few offspring and few connections.
With fewer people, there are naturally fewer weaknesses. Although there are fewer advantages in some aspects, it's enough for the profession of imperial physician!
The two returned to Yanzhou, no longer as hurried and anxious as when Mu Xin Nuan had arrived.
Along the way, with frequent stops, Duanmu Chuze handled quite a bit of official business, which impressed Mu Xin Nuan. To be able to write so beautifully even in such a bumpy carriage!
Duanmu Chuze looked at her with an adoring expression, a smile curving his lips, but his heart was filled with sweetness. "This is all from when I was stationed at the border. Sometimes when military affairs are busy, I have to inspect various camps, so this kind of situation naturally occurs."
"When you go on patrol, don't you ride a horse?"
