Since the land had been plowed, Jiang Zhi didn't waste much time. She went to the medical shed to find out what news there was.
It was quiet outside the medical shed, and the wounded soldiers were hiding in the shed.
Now the kang is burning, and piles of people are sitting and lying on the warm kang, playing horse cranes, playing long cards, and making a lot of noise.
If there was no kang and the room was cold, these wounded soldiers would have no choice but to hang out in the mud and water outside.
When a wounded soldier saw Jiang Zhi passing by, he immediately greeted him politely, and the guard next to him responded with a smile.
Everyone remembers that two months ago, the refugees gathered outside the village and the situation was urgent.
If Aunt Jiang hadn't taught everyone how to cook green glutinous rice, something would have definitely happened to the extremely hungry refugees.
These soldiers can kill people on the battlefield, but they are not willing to attack civilians. If they are forced to take action, it will be a bloody matter.
Aunt Jiang not only saved the lives of the refugees, but also their lives.
After asking around, I found out that because Zhang Juntou was not at the hospital during the Chinese New Year, he also went back to his home for a reunion.
Now only the medical officer Xu Dong is still keeping watch, and when Jiang Zhi arrives, he has no energy.
After staying in Xujiacun for more than half a year, he rarely returned to the city. After the wounded soldiers in the medical shed were gone, it was time for him to reunite with his family.
"Medical Officer Xu, how many wounded soldiers are there now? No new ones have been sent, right?" Jiang Zhi asked, pretending not to notice Xu Dong's loneliness.
Xu Dong shook his head: "This is the last batch. Once everyone recovers, no wounded soldiers will be accepted here."
"Why? No more fighting?" Jiang Zhi asked.
Xiang Dejin went up to the mountain and told him that the war had reached Majiapu, but the casualties were unclear.
These things are not a secret. Xu Dong said casually: "How could it stop? I heard that the attack has reached Anzhou and all the wounded soldiers have been placed in the captured Gucheng. Naturally, there is no need here."
The battlefield was moved, and so were the field hospitals.
In Gucheng and Anzhou, Jiang Zhi tried hard to recall the contents of the book, but... now it was as misty as a dream. There was such a thing, but it was so fragmented that he couldn't remember it at all.
Forget it, let’s not think about it.
"Medical Officer Xu, do you know when the inn will be built? Will it be built in a village or somewhere? How many places will it be built?"
Jiang Zhi believes that a post station needs to be built here, but he doesn’t know how to build it and how large an area it will be built on.
The population of Xujia Village is small, and now most of the homestead is occupied by medical sheds.
If the inn houses were built more, and if there were mule and horse stables that needed to be separated, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much left for the homestead.
And there are distance differences between the stations.
In the Han Dynasty, a post station was set up thirty miles apart on the main transportation road. In the Tang Dynasty, there were also water stations for people to drink and rest.
In the Song Dynasty, there were horse-resting pavilions and delivery shops within 20 miles, and pavilions within 60 miles where you could stay;
In the Ming Dynasty, there were express delivery shops every 10 miles.
But the last time I went to the county town, sixty miles away, there was only one horse resting pavilion on the road.
Looking at the size and distance of the inn here, Jiang Zhi wanted to guess whether the official road outside would be an ordinary road or a highway in the future.
Xu Dong looked at her with strange eyes, shook his head and sighed: "You, a woman who has never been out, don't know, so I'd better tell you!"
Obviously, the distance between the inns has been fixed for a long time. Jiang Zhi's question revealed the secret, but she was just a country woman, so it was not surprising that she didn't know.
"The New Army will build a city in Jinzhou Prefecture. Xujia Village is right between Jinzhou Prefecture and Yuzhou Prefecture. It is three hundred miles away from both places. This is a big post station."
Jiang Zhi listened and tried hard to understand these distances.
If a city is built in Jinzhou Prefecture, Yuzhou Prefecture, which has access to waterways, will definitely come from here, and this will be the main traffic road.
It is three hundred miles from Xujiacun to Yuzhou Prefecture, and even further to Jinzhou Prefecture. With the official road now requiring climbing over mountains and ridges, it is difficult for carriages and horses to travel.
Setting off at dawn and entering the store at dark, it would take at least five days and sixty miles to find a hotel that could provide accommodation. In this way, Xujia Village was a big hotel.
Jiang Zhi was happy. It was good to have an inn. At least it would be convenient if he wanted to hitchhike in the future and take some things with him.
After receiving this news, Jiang Zhi no longer cared about how much homestead it would occupy.
There are many homesteads next to the official road, and the trees only need to be cut down.
After getting useful information, Jiang Zhi saw Xiaoman and Errui being stopped from talking as soon as they left the medical shed.
In front of Xiaoman was a man of about thirty years old, always dark and thin. It was obvious that he was having a hard time as a refugee outside.
At this time, the man's face was very excited, and even Jiang Zhi didn't notice when he approached.
Jiang Zhi choked up when he heard his voice and said, "It's great. Master Chang Geng and my uncle are all fine. Dad and I didn't know until halfway through that you didn't leave. My dad still wants to come back, but...well, now that's all. It’s empty talk, you were right not to leave anyway.”
Jiang Zhi frowned slightly, these words were too false. It was not until halfway that he realized that he had not left and his father still wanted to come back to pick him up.
Then come back!
Seeing that the three of them were talking seriously, Jiang Zhi listened silently without interrupting.
Xiaoman and Xu Errui obviously had a good impression of this person, and they did not refute the lie when they heard it.
Instead, Xiaoman consoled him: "Uncle Genyou, please relax. We are living well on the mountain. My father said that your family shouldn't leave. Just hide in the charcoal kiln for a while and wait until you are safe before going down the mountain."
"Oh, I was also panicked at the time. When I heard someone say that they wanted to eat people, I ran with them. I didn't think about it. We are all human beings, so how could we eat people? As a result, my father lost his life."
Xu Genyou seemed to be full of grievances and wanted to say: "Genbao did something wrong again and wanted to help Lord Changshou give false testimony. Now the village can't stay any longer and has already taken refuge with his father-in-law!"
Xiao Man's eyes widened: "His father-in-law? He is the bastard of the town! Didn't he escape?"
Xu Genyou shook his head: "Escaped, but in the end, the store was robbed and smashed."
The bastard is the owner of a woodware shop in the town. Lihua Town is not big, but the bastard is considered the number one figure.
He has been playing with a hand ax for splitting wood for decades, and has become very good at it. In addition, his two sons are both big and round men, and they are also well-known figures in Lihua Town.
Wang Xiaoju was also pampered when she gave birth to her youngest daughter. When she was sixteen, she fell in love with Xu Genbao, who was learning to play cotton in the town, and she wanted to marry her, even to the other businessmen in the town.
The bastard had no choice but to marry his daughter to this small and remote village. He asked for a bride price of ten taels of silver, but the dowry was not much.
Because the Xu family has two sons and the family has not been divided, the daughter’s dowry will have to be used by others. It is better to wait until the family is divided to make up for it.
Wang Xiaoju felt that her biological father was right. Her dowry would definitely be used, so she got married with only three quilts.
People in Xujia Village made this incident a joke. They all said that Xu Genbao bought three quilts for ten taels of silver, and even covered his head and cried in the middle of the night without making a sound.
At the same time, he naturally laughed at the bastard who "sold his daughter", but Wang Xiaoju didn't think it was wrong and asked her father to bring his brothers to the village to cause a scene.
Facing the fierce shopkeeper Wang, those talkative women stopped talking.
But during the war, Wang Xiaoju ran away with the people in Xujiacun. The bastard and his son were unwilling to leave and deliberately opened the shop door to fight with the refugees.
Unexpectedly, the refugees did not take action, but the bandits came and the bastard's reputation was not easy to use.
