Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 772 - 765: Prestige in the Countryside

The well-inford Xiao Chong, although not yet having t the new Imperial Censor of Chang’an, had already heard about his sworn brother-sister relationship with Lin Wanwan.

Regarding this matter, he felt it was unexpected yet within reason.

He had heard of Ma Zhou long ago; this year, he has beco quite renowned in the officialdom of Chang’an.

After all, not everyone can achieve "a farr in the morning, ascending the Emperor’s Hall by evening," those who do are exceptional talents, naturally attracting attention.

Xiao Chong had read Ma Zhou’s morials, greatly admiring them, and had long respected him. Now, with Ma Zhou coming to Mao County, it was a good chance to finally et him.

From his essays, morials, and what he heard about his background, he seed to be a carefree and unrestrained person, naturally attracted to the similarly unconventional Lin Wanwan.

Xiao Chong wasn’t surprised at all; after all, wasn’t he initially drawn in the sa way?

While Xiao Chong was preparing to receive Ma Zhou, Lin Wanwan was comfortably taking a nap at her seaside estate, replenishing the spiritual power consud by ti travel.

She then followed her schedule, got up, gave a lesson to the children, and, on a whim, conducted a baking class before lunch, making many cookies and bringing imnse joy to the children.

That’s why spending ti with children is said to save your soul!

Lin Wanwan loves teaching the kids in the kindergarten class. Kids at this age are the cutest, most innocent, and the easiest to handle. As they grow older and develop their own thoughts, teaching them becos less fun.

So she usually leaves the older children to the teachers hired for the academy.

She herself holds the nominal position of the academy head, occasionally giving group lessons on moral character.

Young Qingyu is increasingly showing the deanor of a noble girl native to Great Tang, behaving like a small adult, managed strictly by the tutor Madam Cui Ying. Lin Wanwan sotis can’t help but feel a sense of loss, often engaging in so rebellious activities behind Cui Ying’s back with little Qingyu.

Skipping class to fish on a mountaintop ice lake yesterday was one such instance.

Lin Wanwan doesn’t want her adopted daughter to be raised as a virtuous lady bound by the three obediences and four virtues.

Her daughter should live freely and unrestrained; even if she doesn’t have the ambitions of Wu Zhaao, she should at least have an awareness of defying worldly norms.

Regarding the customs of Great Tang, one should take the essence and discard the dross. Entirely seeing oneself as a man’s appendage does not align with Lin Wanwan’s expectations.

Little Qingyu could even live as flamboyantly and wantonly as Princess Anle or Princess Taiping, rather than becoming an exemplary virtuous woman like Princess Xiangcheng.

Being an exemplary virtuous woman is living too harshly, depressively, and wearily. Whoever wants that reputation can have it.

After finishing the lesson, in the afternoon, Lin Wanwan went to Wanghai Town to check on her Chinese dicine Hall, where two old traditional Chinese dicine practitioners were invited to sit in.

The rule Lin Wanwan set was that for the poor, consultation fees were waived and dicine fees were discounted; for landlords and rich farrs, normal prices were charged.

Although her dical skills were better than the two old doctors who were akin to barefoot doctors, she did not sit in herself.

In modern tis, Lin Wanwan worked at the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital with her elder brother Kang Hongjing every Friday.

Those patients mainly sought her elder brother, and Lin Wanwan mostly assisted and copied prescriptions, with not many hands-on cases.

Since returning to Mao County, Lin Wanwan mainly treated the clan mbers of Lin Family Manor and her own servants, and she had also saved the eldest son of Lu Clan Leader from Lu Family Manor from acute appendicitis.

Other cases were rare, except for critical maternity cases that ca seeking her famous na.

Lin Wanwan’s reputation as a Divine Doctor had already spread when she first ca to Great Tang. Back then, she was actually just a lucky half-baked barefoot doctor.

Now, her dical skills were indeed high, and her fa as an obstetrics expert had spread from Beijing to Mao County.

When the midwives couldn’t handle it, families with the ans would bring large sums to seek her help, and Lin Wanwan naturally wouldn’t refuse to save lives.

However, under such circumstances, there was a lot of pressure for Lin Wanwan.

She wasn’t worried about patients’ families causing trouble; with her current status in Great Tang, she could practically do as she pleased in Mao County, who could bother her?

She only feared she couldn’t save soone, letting a young life die before her eyes. After all, if encountering extrely dangerous symptoms like amniotic fluid embolism, she was still only human and couldn’t save lives.

Lin Wanwan hadn’t been in a modern hospital for long, nor was she a full-ti practitioner in Great Tang.

The departnt she worked in rarely encountered ergencies or terminal illnesses, even though cancer patients ca with a mindset for regin, she rarely encountered them, so she hadn’t experienced much life-and-death separation. She still lacked training in this area.

Fortunately, since entering the field, Lin Wanwan hadn’t encountered such situations yet.

After spending half a day in her dicine hall pharmacy carefully sorting herbs, and eting two herb farrs selling dicine to the hall, Lin Wanwan hesitated over one issue.

Now in Great Tang, almost all dicines are wild, harvested by herb farrs from various places.

Wild herbs naturally guarantee good dicinal properties but have the drawback of limited quantities.

So Lin Wanwan was thinking whether to spread the knowledge of cultivating herbs.

On her own manor, she had opened several herbal fields, but those herbs weren’t even enough to supply her own pharmacy, let alone sell outside.

To change the whole Chinese dicine market in Mao County, it would require official power to promote herb cultivation.

With more herbs, prices could drop, even if the efficacy wasn’t as strong, it would surely be a good thing for the patients who can’t afford dicine. Having dicine is certainly better than suffering without.

However, such an approach would cause many butterfly effects involving herb farrs, other pharmacies, and the governnt, although the benefits certainly outweigh the drawbacks, it’s not easy to implent.

Even if she could ensure cultivated herbs had their own pricing and wild ones had theirs, it couldn’t be guaranteed others wouldn’t mix the two deceptively.

So, she needed to consider it carefully.

After spending half a day at her dicine hall, Lin Wanwan took Kun Lun and several other mbers from Xingluo, who acted as her personal female guards, and rode back to Lin Family Manor.

She had to travel back to modern tis this evening.

The countryside in the evening portrayed a scene of rising cooking smoke and the sounds of chickens and dogs, rich with the essence of everyday life.

Around Lin Family Manor, it was now rare to hear of anyone starving to death.

With the transformative butterfly effect of Lin Family Manor, everyone’s lives had improved significantly. Even just following to plant so cotton could earn substantial subsidies, not to ntion the high-yield crops present.

The level of grain production directly affects the farrs’ happiness index. Looking at the status of Grandpa Yuan in the eyes of older generation farrs, you can gauge how high Lin Wanwan’s prestige is in this countryside.

As her horse passed by, there were greetings from familiar and unfamiliar farrs along the way.

So emotional ones even knelt down spontaneously as she passed by.
