It turns out that the peach blossom that Xiao Ai was talking about is here.
The three of them could not ride horses, so Guo Ming summoned the will-o'-the-wisp.
After helping the two siblings into the car, Guo Ming continued to drive back.
There is a younger brother in the front, an older sister in the back, and Guo Ming himself is sitting in the middle.
The boy in front was quite nervous, sitting on the flying will-o'-the-wisp and not daring to move.
Hua Que from behind generously hugged Guo Ming's waist.
"Strong man, where are we going?" Hua Que asked.
Guo Ming replied casually: "Let's go to Mr. Zhongjing's home. My people and Mr. Hua Tuo are waiting there."
"Yeah!" Hua Que made a heavy nasal sound and lowered his head slightly as if he had something in mind.
Guo Ming just glanced at her sideways and smiled.
It seems that Hua Que has thoughts about himself.
Guo Ming went over this business in his mind as quickly as possible.
Hua Que and Hua Yin, the two siblings, are Hua Tuo's children and Zhang Zhongjing's apprentices. They must have excellent medical skills.
As long as they open a medical clinic in Xudu, it will be a big deal.
In Guanzhong, the land of Luoyang, many people died due to successive wars and famines.
Once there are dead people, there will be many diseases.
This kind of deal is a good deal when you think about it.
There is another thread in Guo Ming's mind, and that is Zhong Yao.
In the long run, it is impossible for Xiahou Dun to guard Chang'an forever. The one who really served as the prefect of Chang'an for a longer period of time was Zhong Yao.
This time, I can use Guo Jia's letter to say hello to fellow Yingchuan people, and I have a favor, so it is naturally a good deal.
After Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing thanked them, the four of them packed up their things and followed Guo Ming.
It's not too late for He Qing Haiyan to come back.
Along the way, Guo Ming was very attentive to these two old gentlemen.
Not to mention, these two people are both famous miracle doctors and have a place in history.
Let's just say that one of them is Hua Que's master and the other is Hua Que's biological father, and they are quasi-father-in-law.
Two people like this have to work hard to please each other.
As for Hua Que.
Some things are tacit.
The two people inevitably met each other along the way. They didn't talk to each other in detail, but they did have a lot of eye contact.
Guo Mingneng could tell from Hua Que's eyes that she was interested in him.
This affectionate look in his eyes was very helpful to Guo Ming.
Guo Jia was counting the time for him along the way, how long it would take to reach Xudu, and how long it would take to transport the grain and grass back.
Guo Ming had set up a courtyard alone for these two old gentlemen to live in. Hua Que and Hua Yin, the siblings, naturally had to move there as well.
But Hua Que looked a little unhappy and began to avoid Guo Ming.
Guo Ming naturally knew what she was thinking, but it was not easy for him to tell her.
He still has business to attend to.
On the night of arriving in Xudu, Guo Ming hurriedly took Guo Jia's letter to Zhong Yao's house.
Zhong Yao himself is also a member of the Zhong family of Yingchuan, and has always been in contact with the Guo family in Yingchuan.
After reading Guo Jia's letter, Zhong Yao knew the whole story.
"Okay, since it is entrusted by my virtuous brother Feng Xiao, I will not shirk it as a brother. You just need to tell me how much food and grass you want."
"The grain and grass you have here are being sold, so I want as much as you have! According to the market price, I will give you another 20%."
This is exactly what Guo Ming wants to achieve.
Since it’s a reputation that can be bought with a thousand pieces of gold, you might as well pay more!
Anyway, it's just to sell face, so it will be easier to greet Zhong Yao and Xiahou Dun in the future.
Zhong Yao's food supply was neither too much nor too little, just one thousand taels, which was the number that the system reminded him before.
Guo Ming specially added two hundred taels and sent it to Chang'an with Zhong Yao.
After he ordered so much food, bundled it on a rubber cart, hired mules and horses from Luoyang... he first went to Zaozhuan.
Because there may be excellent rice seeds here, just leave them to Zao Zhuan.
Who knows, there are other troubles here in Zaozhuan.
Zaozhuan is in the military camp, between Chenliu and Xudu.
This place has beautiful scenery but one big problem...bugs.
Guo Ming led the grain and fodder convoy and hurried here. Before he arrived at Zaozhuan's camp, he saw such a large amount of things jumping on the car.
This thing has a green beard, but anyone who sees it will be stunned.
"Locusts!" Guo Ming was stunned.
"No, there's a locust plague." Bai Qi said in surprise.
He and Xiang Yu came here specifically with Guo Ming to escort the food and grass.
Guo Ming is leading the way, Bai Qi is in the middle, and Xiang Yu is in charge of the rear.
At this time, after the great disaster of the war, there were victims everywhere except Xudu, and it was inevitable that there would be robberies of grain trucks.
They didn't dare to snatch the government vehicles transporting grain and grass, so naturally they wouldn't let go of private vehicles like Guo Ming.
But Guo Ming never expected that before he met the people who robbed the food, he met the bugs who robbed the food first.
Zaozhuan Juntun, there has been a locust plague here.
"Keep the bugs away." Guo Ming ordered directly.
This matter is actually not difficult. The servants who escorted the grain and grass can drive away the locusts with just a slap.
But the locusts all over the place make people feel hairy.
Seeing the green patch on the ground dancing, Guo Ming could only feel lucky.
The green locusts are called green locusts. They are still high-quality protein at this time. After being caught, they can be fed to chickens or ducks.
They cannot fly at this time and their attack power is extremely low.
But if you wait until these locusts turn khaki, it will be completely over.
The locusts at this time are called soil locusts. They are not high-quality protein at all. They also contain cyanide in their bodies, which is a highly toxic substance.
Both humans and chickens, ducks and geese are poisoned immediately after eating it.
Once it reaches this stage, locusts will also fly and there is no way to control them.
Zaozhuan stored grain in the fertile paddy fields between Chenliu and Xudu, which would indeed attract a large number of insect pests.
This batch of locusts should have come from the south, which is the land of Yuan Shu.
There is a severe drought in that place, drought locusts, this is an old saying.
Guo Ming arrived at Zaozhuan with grain and grass. After explaining his intention, Zaozhuan burst into tears of gratitude.
"Thank you so much. We are short of rice seeds here."
"I have good food here, and you can keep all the food you like as rice seed."
"But you must leave more than 80% for me. Ming Gong, you are still waiting to eat."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Zao Zhuan quickly asked people to unpack and screen the seeds, while he and Guo Ming drank tea in the camp.
Compared to those generals, Zao Zhuan seemed much simpler, a bit like a farmer.
His pants were rolled up to his knees, his feet were bare, and his legs were covered in mud.
He was tanned and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows.
