Yang Peng became curious, walked up and stood aside to watch. After watching for a while, Yang Peng stepped forward and asked, "Why did you kick the Shen family's courtyard door?" The mob saw that Yang Peng was wearing a second-grade official robe, looked at each other, knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, Mingjian, The Shen family did something so outrageous that we had to come here to recover the body!" "Why was it so outrageous?" "A poor member of our clan died of a stroke, and Shen Yuji used money to seduce the deceased's greedy father. Buy the corpse of the deceased and dissect it. The deceased was a good son of a good family, but he couldn't be buried after his death, and he had to endure the crime of being cut into pieces with thousands of knives. Isn't it unreasonable?"
After hearing this, Yang Peng understood that the corpse he saw in the yard of the Yu family just now was secretly bought by the Yu family. Now the dead man's clan members were unwilling to let the corpse be dissected by the disciples of the Yu family, so they came to visit him. . Yang Peng was thinking there when he saw the courtyard door of Yu's house opened, and the young man who welcomed him in came out, raised his hands and said to the mob: "Neighbors, this body was not stolen or robbed, it belongs to us. Bought with money, why do you come here to seek revenge?"
The deceased tribesmen said loudly: "We collected the money and paid it back to you. Please hand over the body and don't do such evil things in the future!" When the young man heard this, his face changed and he hesitated: "This... Yang Peng smiled and said to the young man: "Are you in short supply of corpses for dissection?"
The young man's face turned red, and he raised his hands and said: "To be honest with you, we surgeons don't understand the structure of the human body. But it's really hard to buy cadavers for anatomy. This is the only one I've bought in the past six months!" The teacher regards it as a treasure..." "Is the corpse very useful?" "Of course it is. We who do surgery rely entirely on dissecting the human body to understand the pathological structure. It is not an exaggeration to say that we basically rely on this to improve our medical skills." Yang Peng smiled. , raised his hands and said to the dead tribesmen: "Don't be anxious, everyone. I will go in and negotiate with Dr. Shen to ensure that he returns the body to you!" The dead tribesmen replied in unison: "It's all up to you!" The young man heard that Li Zhi heard that he would return the body to you! Then, his face changed and he said: "Why do you need to interfere in this matter? Are you meddling in this business?"
Yang Peng said: "Let's go see your master. I have something good to tell him." When he walked to the main hall of the Shen family, when he saw Shen Yuji, Yang Peng went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Shen, why do you have to go to the capital for a job?" I am looking for corpses for dissection. I lead troops in wars and capture and kill thousands of enemy invaders every year. I don’t know how many corpses are available for you to dissect and study. Come with me to Tianjing New City!"
Shen Yuji was stunned and asked: "Is this true?" Yang Peng said: "There is no such thing now. But every year I have to fight, and I don't know how many Khitan dogs will be killed when the war starts. By then, the hills will be as big as I will give you the corpses to play with." Shen Yuji thought for a while, nodded and said, "If each of my disciples can independently dissect four or five corpses every year, the harvest will be far greater than watching from the side. Now I am in the capital. I can’t find a corpse here for half a year. Since you have Khitan corpses when you start the war, I am naturally willing to accompany you on the expedition as a military doctor!"
"But I don't want to stay in Tianjing New City every day. I stay in Tianjing New City for three days every month, and return to Cangzhou for medical treatment at other times. If you want to go out to kill the enemy, I will follow your army." After a pause, Shen Yuji then said: "If you want a doctor in Tianjing New City, I can send two students to treat Tianjing New City for a long time." Yang Peng only wants to accompany the military doctors, and does not insist that Shen Yuji be stationed in Tianjing New City permanently. , overjoyed upon hearing this. "Okay, let's do this!"
Yang Peng promised on the spot to let Shen Yuji use a luxury villa in Fanjiazhuang for free as a clinic. He also promised to give Shen Yuji another one hundred taels of silver every year as an offering as a reward for thanking Shen Yuji and his more than 20 disciples for their willingness to go with the army. Seeing that Yang Peng was so generous, Shen Yuji had no worries, so he packed up a set of medical equipment and took a few disciples who were almost out of school to open a new clinic in Tianjing New City. Yang Peng attaches great importance to Shen Yuji. This famous doctor can not only treat soldiers, but also treat people in Tianjing New City and improve the medical and health level of Tianjing New City. Yang Peng waited in the capital for a few days, waiting for Shen Yuji to pack his luggage and call the moving carriage, and then he returned to Tianjing New City with Shen Yuji.
On the way back to Tianjing New City, Yang Peng and Shen Yuji rode side by side. Yang Peng said to Shen Yuji: "Mr. Shen, does he know what the blood is for?" "Blood is made from grains, and it is made from its essence. Blood, circulation is endless." Yang Peng shook his head and said: "Sir, you are wrong! Blood is not made from grains, but blood is a liquid made from bone marrow. It circulates throughout the body through the beating of the heart, flows from blood vessels to the whole body, and delivers oxygen and nutrients to the whole body. Then it flows back to the heart, taking away carbon dioxide and metabolic products. All organs of the human body rely on blood circulation."
Shen Yuji was stunned and asked: "Blood is made of bone marrow? This is the first time I have heard of such a truth. So what is oxygen? What is carbon dioxide?" Yang Peng said: "A component in the air is called Oxygen. Another component, called carbon dioxide. Oxygen can be combined with nutrients to release energy to supply the needs of human organs. After oxygen is combined with nutrients in human tissues to release energy, it becomes carbon dioxide , that is, waste gas, is discharged from the body through blood circulation!”
Nashen Yuji dissected many corpses and had his own opinions on blood circulation. When I heard Yang Peng's words, I felt that they made perfect sense, and I felt vaguely enlightened. Yang Pengkan said: "The heart is what promotes blood circulation. If the heart stops, the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the whole body will stop, and the person will die. Therefore, the heart cannot be injured!"
Shen Yuji raised his hands and said to Yang Peng: "The city lord is a talented person! Although what the city lord said is different from what is written in the medical books, Shen felt that it made sense after hearing it. I have benefited a lot from being the city lord's army doctor!" Yang Peng looked at it! This surgeon from the Song Dynasty secretly said that he knew a lot. In the future, when I tell Shen Yuji all my knowledge about medical principles, Shen Yuji's medical skills will definitely improve a lot. By then, I will have a military doctor who is beyond the level of this era.
Moreover, Shen Yuji's disciples can also be trained and trained, and these disciples can be stationed in Tianjing New City as doctors in the future. Yang Peng got excited and asked: "Sir, do you know what the immune system is? What are bacteria? What are viruses?" Shen Yuji's eyes lit up, he raised his hands and said, "Students are willing to hear the details!"... ..
After Yang Peng hired Shen Yuji, Shen Yuji opened a surgical clinic in the west of Tianjing New City and treated the people of Tianjing New City a few days a month. Shen Yuji was very famous. Some of the gentry in Cangzhou had heard of his name, and many people came to Tianjing New City from Cangzhou to seek medical treatment.
With Shen Yuji and his disciples, Tianjing New City finally had a doctor who could treat patients. Some of the wounded who were injured during the battle with Khitan the year before last were very emotional. They all lamented that it was a pity that they had not met Shen Yuji earlier, otherwise the major injuries that left them disabled could have been cured. Under the guidance of Yang Peng with the medical knowledge of later generations, Shen Yuji's medical skills are still gradually improving. As soon as Shen Yuji saw the patients every day, he would take his apprentice to the government office to see Yang Peng and ask Yang Peng for advice on various medical issues, as if he regarded himself as Yang Peng's student. Several of his apprentices were so amazed by Yang Peng's talk about biology and medicine that they asked him more than a dozen questions every day before giving up.
After hearing what Yang Peng said for a few days, Shen Yuji was reluctant to go back to Bianjing City. Although Yang Peng doesn't know how to perform surgery or treat various diseases, he has studied biology and medical principles, and there are many things that can be poured out of his stomach. "My lord general, a small word of justice, listening to your words is worth ten years of reading medical books!" Yang Peng smiled and secretly thought that after training Shen Yuji and several of his apprentices, should he let them be teachers and open a medical school to train them? More doctors coming out?
On this day, Yang Peng was processing official documents in the house. Yang Peng has taken the time to practice calligraphy over the years, and has gradually become accustomed to using calligraphy and traditional Chinese characters. Now he is able to handle official documents. Zhan Jinguo and others saw that Yang Peng often practiced calligraphy and thought that he had taken the time to teach himself how to read and write. However, they were not surprised that Yang Peng could handle official documents. After all, Yang Peng surprised them so much that they were already numb to the fact that Yang Peng's abilities were beyond ordinary people.
After becoming the city lord, Yang Peng needed to handle all kinds of military documents on Cangzhou West Road. Although West Road was not big, with only three captains, these official documents still took up one or two hours of Yang Peng's time every day. Yang Peng was wondering whether he should set up several staff positions in the shogunate to help him handle official documents. Cui Changwu is a good candidate. Politically reliable. In terms of ability, he is a child, and he has no problem handling ordinary official documents. However, his family is wealthy and he hopes to continue his studies and become a scholar. I wonder if he is willing to give up the path of fame and become an aide in his own shogunate.
Yang Peng was thinking about it while stamping the official document. After finally finishing the official document, Yang Peng stood up and walked a few steps in the room when he saw the soldier reporting that Zheng Fu had arrived for a while. Zheng Fu, who was in charge of the catering department, brought a skinny middle-aged man. A young man walked in. Zheng Fu was one of the first refugees Yang Peng met from the beginning. He was fat and easy to talk to. In the third year of his reign, he defected to Yang Peng.
Zheng Fu is very greedy and likes to eat meat. Yang Peng simply made him the manager of the catering department from the year before last year. He was stipulated that the manager of the catering department could eat eight taels of meat per meal, which is half a catty. Zheng Fu was asked to eat meat every day. Eat your fill. After Zheng Fu became the general manager, he managed things well and did not exceed the rules.
He raised his hands and made a bow to Yang Peng, which was considered a salute. The skinny middle-aged man was quite nervous. He knelt down on the ground as soon as he came in. He got up when Yang Peng said no courtesy. "Sir, I brought this man here to recommend you a talent to raise chickens!" Yang Peng was stunned and secretly thought that this talent is in urgent need. Yang Peng now supports more than 15,000 people, and they all receive meat for three meals a day. Now Yang Peng has opened a pig farm and has 20,000 tenant farmers. Yang Peng can be self-sufficient in pork and grain, and has controlled prices. But Yang Peng has to purchase the eggs that are served every morning from outside. More than 15,000 eggs a day is not a small expense.
It turns out that a pound of eggs on the market only cost about one cent and seven cents of silver. However, the transportation of eggs is inconvenient. As the demand in Tianjing New City continues to increase, the price of nearby eggs has skyrocketed, and now it has risen to two cents per pound. There are about twelve eggs in a pound. Yang Peng spends more than 20 taels of silver on eggs for breakfast every day, which works out to 800 taels of silver in a month.
And with the increase in the population of Tianjing New City, the price of eggs in this area will continue to rise. To save some money, Yang Peng must build his own chicken farm. Yang Peng looked at the middle-aged man next to Zheng Fu curiously and asked, "Can you raise chickens?" The middle-aged man bowed and said, "Xiaomin has been raising chickens for more than 20 years, and Xiaomin left alone. I raise more than 500 free-range chickens for eggs, and I can get more than 400 eggs every day!" Yang Peng asked: "How do you raise free-range chickens?"
"Xiaomin's grass chickens go to the grassland on the dry land every morning to eat bugs, grass seeds, and tender grass. Of course, they also need to be fed with concentrates. They are fed grain three times a day to make concentrates. At other times, the chickens are allowed to find food on their own. Chickens raised like this rarely get sick, produce more eggs, and save money." "Xiaomin has calculated that with chickens raised like this, two kilograms of eggs can be produced for every three kilograms of grain fed."
Yang Peng nodded and said: "I hire you to be the manager of the chicken farm, and recruit forty people to raise more than 20,000 free-range chickens for eggs. As the manager, I will give you five taels of silver a month. How about raising chickens? The farm is in a remote grassland and it is not convenient to provide meals, so I will not give you three meals containing meat." The middle-aged man nodded and said: "I am willing to work for the Lord of the City." Yang Peng nodded and said secretly. Save money on an expense.
As soon as he said it, Yang Peng carved out a chicken pasture on the dry wasteland south of Tianjing New City, with a radius of eight kilometers. Each chicken house is 15 square meters, and there are 120 chickens in each chicken house. A total of 200 chicken houses have been built. Five chicken houses are clustered together to occupy nearly two square kilometers of pasture. Forty workers are hired to manage five chicken coops each and are responsible for feeding and cleaning the chicken coops. After building the chicken coop, Yang Peng's chicken farmers went out to buy chicks. I believe that after more than 20,000 chickens start laying eggs, the price of eggs on the market will drop to the original level.
On July 15th of the second year of Xianping, Duan Zhixian got married. The person to get married to is Qi Xuan, the daughter of the Qi Dynasty family in the east of Cangzhou City. The Hiiragi family of Qi Dynasty was not a wealthy family. They only relied on their status as a member of the imperial family and had hundreds of acres of land outside Cangzhou City. But the daughter of the Qi family was very beautiful. It is said that Duan Zhixian saw Qi Xuan when he was out on a spring outing. From then on, he could not forget her and would not give up until he married her.
Yang Peng, the eldest brother and his father, found a matchmaker for Duan Zhixian to arrange a marriage. Yang Peng is now very powerful in Cangzhou West Road, and everyone in Cangzhou knows it. As Yang Peng's younger brother, Duan Zhixian's status has risen rapidly. In addition, Duan Zhixian was the leader of the Huben Regiment and was about to be promoted to division commander. He was a young and promising man with a bright future, so the Qi family agreed to the marriage without saying a word.
After learning that the Qi family agreed to marry their daughter, Duan Zhixian was in a state of excitement and did not slow down until the day of the wedding. On the wedding day, Duan Zhixian's friend Li Dao acted as the master of ceremonies for Duan Zhixian and stood at the door of Duan Zhixian's luxurious villa to welcome the guests. The first to arrive were Lin Qing'er and Mrs. She, Yang Peng's master. As Yang Peng's master, Lin Qing'er relied on Yang Peng to take the top position in Tianjing New City. The Gao family in Cangzhou was the first to see a shop selling Yang Peng's soap business and made a lot of money. Now he is considered a big businessman. . He is very satisfied with Yang Peng and also likes Yang Peng's younger brother Duan Zhixian - as an old neighbor of Jingbianfang, he can be said to have watched Duan Zhixian grow up, so naturally he cannot miss Duan Zhixian's wedding.
He rode all the way from Cangzhou City with his nephew Cui Changwu, fearing that he would be late, but he arrived first. He was very moved by the prosperity of Tianjing New City along the way. Looking at the prosperity of Tianjing New City now, who would have thought that this place was still desolate four years ago? Li Dao was not familiar with the Gao family, so he welcomed the high-priced person in after a few pleasantries. The Gao family found Duan Zhixian on the second floor of the villa, held Li Xing's hand and said, "Okay, Duan Zhixian, it will be different now that you are married. In a few years, will you be looking for a general?"
Duan Zhixian smiled and said: "Thank you for your good wishes, Mr. Gao!" The Gao family looked at Duan Zhixian and sighed in their hearts. Once upon a time, many people here still lived in shabby settlements in Jingbianfang and were very poor. Unexpectedly, a few years later, it has already leapt into the world. Now Yang Peng is already the lord of four cities, and he is sweeping all directions in Cangzhou's official circles. Even the governor dare not mess with him. Even Yang Peng's younger brother is equivalent to a fourth-grade military attache.
Behind the Gao family, various guests arrived one after another, including relatives of the Qi family and officials from Tianjing New City. Zhan Jinguo was also among the guests attending the banquet. He is about the same age as Yang Peng, and he is twenty years old this year, but he is busy leading military training and has never gotten married. Now seeing that Duan Zhixian, who is two years younger than him, has a family, Zhan Jinguo is also a little anxious.
Seeing Zhan Jinguo coming to the banquet alone, Li Dao said with a smile: "Bachelor Zhan Jinguo! Are you here?" Zhan Jinguo rolled his eyes and said, "Don't underestimate me, I will get married in a few months." !" Li Dao laughed and said, "Have you found your daughter-in-law?" Zhan Jinguo shrank his neck and said sarcastically: "I'll just look for it in the past few months, and I'll definitely find her!" Li Dao laughed and said, "Go in and have a drink. If you enjoy my nephew’s happiness, maybe you can find a wife!”
Zhan Jinguo was laughed at by Li Dao and walked into Duan Zhixian's villa. Seeing Duan Zhixian, Zhan Jinguo spat: "The second general used a good trick to get married before me!" Duan Zhixian laughed and said: "You are too slow! We can't wait!" Zhan Jinguo shook his head, a little resentful. He was not interested in chatting with the guests at the moment, and sat alone in the corner of the hall. He was drinking tea from a teacup, and when he glanced at the crowd, he saw a beautiful figure. A beautiful girl followed her parents, following step by step. She was very charming and charming. Zhan Jinguo looked at it, moved his eyes away, couldn't help but turn back and took another look, and finally just stared at the girl.
When the girl saw Zhong Feng staring at him, she frowned and hid behind her parents. Duan Zhixian looked at the girl's father and found out that he was the son of Li Yousheng, the second grandfather of Yang Peng's friend Li Dao, and Li Dao's cousin. Duan Zhixian sat in the corner, feeling itchy in his heart, secretly thinking that this was a good marriage. He took advantage of the girl's parents to walk away, coughed, and mustered up the courage to walk up. Walking up to the girl, Duan Zhixian's movements were already a little stiff due to nervousness. He bowed and asked, "May I ask what your surname is? Where is the fairyland? How old are you? Are you married?"
The girl glared at Zhan Jinguo, her face turned red, and said, "The little girl's name is Li Zhi!" After saying this, the girl ran into the crowd and followed her father. When Zhan Jinguo saw that the girl had answered his question, he giggled happily and looked at the girl's figure happily. More and more guests came, and everyone gathered in the villa hall to chat and laugh, making the hall seem a bit crowded. Li Dao asked Duan Zhixian's servant to open the room on the second floor and let the guests rest and wait in the room.
After a while, Li Dao's sharp eyes saw Yang Peng's guard of honor approaching, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Lord of the City is here!" Upon hearing this, all the guests sitting in the hall stood up. Welcome the arrival of the city lord. Yang Peng walked into the villa with a smile, and said to everyone who was saluting him: "No gifts, no gifts, no need to be polite, all of you here today are distinguished guests of my Duan family!" Then everyone sat back down and started chatting with each other again. .
After a while, Cheng Shijie also walked in with a gift. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qi Wei, the sister of Duan Zhixian's wife Qi Xuan. She was a graceful, beautiful and dignified girl. Cheng Shijie walked up to Qi Wei pretending to be nonchalant and looked at Qi Wei sideways from the corner of his eyes, but Qi Wei still noticed him. Qi Wei covered her mouth and smiled, then ran away.
Cheng Shijie walked around in the crowd, walked to Qi Wei as if nothing had happened, and then pretended to be surprised when he saw Qi Wei for the first time and asked: "Which lady is this from?"
Qi Wei pointed to her father who was sitting not far away and said loudly: "I am Qi Wei, the bride's sister!" Cheng Shijie looked at Qi Wei and secretly thought that all the daughters raised by the Qi family are so beautiful. He nodded and said: "How old is the young lady? ? Did you agree with me?" Qi Wei rolled her eyes, put her hands on her hips and said, "You have to ask my dad about these things!" After saying this, Qi Wei walked away in a big way and sat next to his dad. He raised his chin slightly with dignity.
Cheng Shijie looked at Qi Wei's father and felt that the middle-aged man was very handsome. No wonder he gave birth to such beautiful daughters. Cheng Shijie thought about it for a while, then walked to Yang Peng and asked with a smile: "City Lord, I want to use the good matchmaker you hired there?"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
