The next day, Xia Qingfeng left the Hou Mansion on the pretext of visiting Mrs. Hou.
When we arrived at Wutinghou Mansion, the old lady was in good health. She tested her blood sugar and it was under good control. She gave her insulin as usual, and gave her some food specially prepared for her. After chatting with her, she was ready to leave. leave.
As soon as she went out, she saw several people looking at her eagerly.
These people look very familiar! I patted my forehead and remembered, weren't these the doctors who went to the temple to help? She had forgotten all about it.
"Hello everyone...are you back? How is the temple now? How are the wounded and the pregnant woman doing?"
"Back to Madam, the mother is fine and is confinement on the mountain. The injured are not in serious condition. The fractured one is still on the mountain, and the others have gone down the mountain."
"That's good, that's good! Well, I really can't do it today. I have something important to do and I have to leave right away. In this way, tomorrow... no, let's do it the day after tomorrow. I'll be there as soon as possible. Then you have the pigskin ready. How about that?" "
"Okay, Mrs. Xie!" In fact, the pork rinds are ready today, and it seems that we will add another dish tonight.
When they were about to board the carriage, Mrs. Hou gave her a letter, "This is a letter from my family, Sile, to you. I received it yesterday. I thought you were coming today, so I just gave it to you."
Xia Qingfeng took the letter, thanked him, and got into the carriage, which drove to the other courtyard in the South District.
On the carriage, Xia Qingfeng opened the letter. In the letter, Chang Sile said that he had gone to Yong'an Village and had bought the mountain behind the village, but he had given up the medicinal fields at the foot of the mountain. He also hired men from Yong'an Village to mine saltpeter in the mountains, paying him 50 cents a day and settling the wages on a daily basis. This matter was left to the old village chief. The old village chief is busy working up and down the mountain every day and is in good spirits. He also reassured Xia Qingfeng that he would treat these villagers well.
He also mentioned in the letter that someone had wanted to develop a medicinal field and was preparing to buy and sell by force. The villagers had asked him for help. He sent someone to investigate and found out that it was a wealthy family in the county whose daughter was the concubine of the county magistrate. This little bit of power was not enough in Chang Sile's eyes, so he sent a letter directly, and the county magistrate was so frightened that he immediately sold the concubine.
Now that the matter has been resolved, and the saltpeter mine also needs guards, he asked the guards to also guard the village's medicinal fields.
Now that it is hot in summer, he has opened shops in the town and county, selling not only ice, but also fruit smoothies of various flavors. The business is very good.
He will soon bring the saltpeter to the capital to open a shop, and let Xia Qingfeng wait for the money.
At the end of the letter, he also mentioned the affairs of Yizhou. Now the governor of Yizhou, Dong Youcai, seems to be colluding with the state pastor Li Binhang. If they are really from the second prince, then Yizhou has now fallen into the hands of the second prince. .
He has written another letter to Cang Dao about this matter, and will discuss it in the long run after he returns to Beijing.
Xia Qingfeng put away the letter and put it in the space. These difficult things were really happening one after another! But thinking about the huge profits she was about to get from selling ice, she felt better again.
When we arrived at the house in the South District, not only were there weapons, swords, swords, and halberds, but the emperor's grandson was also there. The meeting was as polite as ever, and he couldn't wait to talk to Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xia Qingfeng also saw a strange man. When he saw Xia Qingfeng, he knelt down. After hearing his thanks, he realized that this was Wu Yi, that boy's brother.
After a brief exchange of greetings, a few people entered the main room to discuss serious matters. Wu Yize consciously stood outside the door.
The final result of the discussion was that tomorrow the old lady of the Wuting Hou Mansion would accompany Xia Qingfeng and her daughter into the palace, and the emperor's grandson would bring Xia Qingfeng and her daughter to see the emperor and quietly report the situation in the Xiping Hou Mansion to the emperor.
There are too many troops in the western suburbs, Da Sima has not returned yet, and the combined northern and southern armies of the Yulin Guards only number 8,000. Ten years ago, the Xiongnu invaded the Central Plains. After several wars and a sharp decline in military strength, the old emperor transferred most of the Yulin Guard's Northern Army to the border. Their number dropped sharply from the original 50,000 to a few thousand now.
It is estimated that Ling Haoxuan also wants to take advantage of this loophole. Now, without knowing the opponent's strength, the Eight Thousand Yulin Guards have little chance of winning. Therefore, this matter cannot be rushed and a suitable solution must be found.
Moreover, Xia Qingfeng believed that the 20,000 troops were all citizens of his country, and there must be many among them like Wu Yi who were helpless or did not even know that they were rebels. Killing them all is too cruel. It would be best if we could find a way to recover it.
In addition, the iron ore in Bingzhou is the most important. If the iron ore is continuously sold to the enemy, the border will be in danger.
When leaving, no one thought of a good solution, so they had no choice but to give up.
Xia Qingfeng had an idea in his mind, but he still needed to think about the details, so he didn't say it.
Xia Qingfeng also checked Cuiliu's body and found that he was basically recovering well, so he decided to have surgery in a week.
The most surprising thing is that Wu Yi’s younger brother, oh, his name is Wang Chengwen, and his older brother’s original name was Wang Chengwu. I originally thought that Wu Yi would take people away this time, and the emperor's grandson also gave him a team of fifty people for him to train. Now he is also working for the royal family and has the ability to take care of his younger brother.
But Wang Chengwen said nothing and refused to leave. He knelt in front of Xia Qingfeng and begged him to accept him as his disciple. He said that he had always been good at studying, and his brother had tried every means to make money for him to study, but now that his fingers were missing, he would definitely not be able to take the imperial examination. And he had personally experienced how Xia Qingfeng pulled him back from hell. He found the meaning of his future life, and he also wanted to save lives and heal the wounded.
Xia Qingfeng was very pleased. She had always wanted to carry forward the advanced medical skills of her previous life in this world, but after arriving, she spent all day fighting and uncovering conspiracies. She had long been fed up with it, and now that someone was willing to study medicine with her, she was of course happy.
"You have to think carefully, studying medicine is very difficult."
"I am willing to suffer no matter how hard it is. Please accept me as your disciple!" Then he knelt down.
Hiss, here comes another honest kid. Xia Qingfeng quickly helped him up: "Okay, I'll take you in." Then he took out a copy of "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" from the messenger bag, actually from the space, and handed it to him: "You should read these first, it's best Memorize it." After I finish the things at hand, I will teach you from the basics.
In fact, people who have just learned Chinese medicine are more suitable to read "Basic Theory of Chinese Medicine" to master the basic concepts of yin and yang, five elements, qi and blood, viscera, meridians, etc., or read "Diagnostics of Chinese Medicine" to understand the "Four Diagnoses", "Eight Cardinal Guidelines" and "Six Excessive Elements" ” and other key contents. There are these books in the hospital library, but they are all in simplified Chinese. I really can’t give them to him, alas! It seems that I will have to do more work for myself in the future, which is copying books.
