Li Yuan knew very well that the guards of the mansion must have ignored this poorly dressed old couple. The two of them were carrying a broken basket, and they might have been regarded as beggars. But there is no need to teach them a lesson about this matter. These days, even the servants of wealthy families tend to think that they are superior to others. It is normal for dogs to compete with others. Now that I have a status like this, it is normal for the guards in front of the house to behave like this. .
"You came here specifically to see me, you must have something important to do, right?" Li Yuan said with a smile.
Old Man Zou grinned and said, "If nothing happens, how dare you, the little man, come to delay the time of the Governor? What kind of person is the Governor? He has everything to do. If all the people come to disturb you at will, how can you do official business? Hehe, little one I came here specifically to see the Governor because I heard about something."
Li Yuandao: "I just say it doesn't matter."
"Back to the Governor, about seven days ago, my old lady became unwell, so I took her to the city of Lizhou to see a doctor. It was also from the doctor that I accidentally heard about some things going on in the Governor's home... Old man, I was probably too talkative, so I asked in detail, and learned that the governor’s wife was happy, and that she had been restless recently and had not thought about food or food. This made the young man and the old woman very anxious... "
Li Yuan was shocked. Zhou Ehuang's temperament has indeed changed since she became pregnant. Not only did she take good care of the fetus, but she also worried about whether it was a boy or a girl all day long. Recently, she was so nervous that she couldn't even take a few bites of food and couldn't sleep. Okay, but I didn’t know that this news actually reached the ears of the people in Lizhou City. This is really incredible.
However, it is not difficult to understand that in order to appease Emperor Zhou E's emotions so that he could raise his baby with peace of mind, famous doctors were indeed invited from various medical clinics in Langzhou and surrounding prefectures to diagnose and treat Emperor Zhou E and prescribe some soothing medicines. Of course, I personally ordered this matter. Unexpectedly, even this old couple heard about it.
It is normal to say that Lizhou is under the rule of Wuping. As the governor of Langzhou and the military governor of Wuping, Li Yuan's every move is naturally the focus of attention of the officials and people of Wuping. These days are no different from later generations. The topic of gossip is the most popular in teahouses and restaurants, let alone the gossip of the governor's family.
Even if you don't go to Lizhou to hire a doctor, the affairs of Governor Li's family will be spread to Lizhou within a few days. This is the power of gossip. Don't underestimate the people's mouth.
Old man Zou continued: "The young man and the old woman thought at the moment that Aping had written a letter before, and now he has received a great favor from the governor and is working in Langzhou. We can't just sit idly by and ignore this benefactor's affairs! When we were pregnant with the baby, We have experienced things like restlessness and loss of blood, and we know what is going on.
Governor, my old woman has given birth to five children. When she was young, she was as strong as an ox, but now her body is very weak. This is because when she was pregnant with the eldest son, she often became sulky and had a loss of appetite. "Depression syndrome" is characterized by chest tightness, flank and rib swelling and pain, or irritability and crying... It's a pity that I didn't know about it at the time, and it was only later that the old woman suffered from the old disease of insufficient blood and vital energy.
Now that I am getting older, I often have chills and back pain. If a woman has a disease before or after pregnancy, it will be difficult to treat, Grand Governor. "
"Depression syndrome"? Isn’t this what later generations call “prenatal depression”? Li Yuan thought for a while and was convinced, and hurriedly asked: "My father-in-law, I would like to ask if there is a way to cure "depression syndrome"? "
Old Man Zou nodded and said, "Yes, Governor. Quick, old woman, show that thing to the Governor."
The old woman agreed, quickly picked up the bamboo basket at her feet and placed it on the table, then slowly uncovered the rag covering the basket.
Li Yuan took a closer look inside, but saw a dozen strange-looking weeds scattered in the basket. They looked like a kind of moss, with strange shapes and many branches. They seemed to have no roots, and their leaves were Flower-shaped, it is a plant that you will never forget once you see it in the wild.
"This...could this be a kind of medicinal herb? It looks so strange." Li Yuan frowned.
Old Man Zou carefully picked up these herbs and spread them neatly on the table. He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Grand Governor, this is the Huixincao. The villain and the old woman worked hard to find a dozen plants." Although it looks ugly, it has miraculous effects when used. Therefore, grass cannot tolerate cold or heat, so
It is extremely rare to see a vigorous growth of the heartwort.
Each handful of the heart-warming grasses we found grew strong and strong, making them extremely precious. This is because God protected his wife and let the villain take the old lady to find her. The villain has picked Huixincao many times in his life, but he has only seen it grow so vigorously twice. "
Li Yuan frowned and thought for a while, "So, this time the heart grass is used as medicine?"
"Of course, the reason why Huixincao is precious is that it nourishes the heart and calms the mind, especially for women with "depression syndrome". After the old woman gave birth to her eldest son, she became pregnant with Zouping again the following year. When the "depression syndrome" appeared again, the little man sought medical treatment everywhere. Later, he got advice from an expert and asked the little man to find the heart grass and use it as medicine. Unexpectedly, the old woman had taken several After returning, I ate deliciously and slept soundly. This is no joke.
Stir these Huixincao together with tangerine peel, peony, Chuanxiong and licorice and eat them in five days. If the lady's disease cannot be cured, I will crawl back to Lizhou. Old man Zou said, patting his chest.
Li Yuan said happily: "Such a good thing is exactly what my wife needs. To be honest with you, my governor has been most worried about this matter recently. My wife is always thinking wildly after her wedding, and it's been hard for her to have dinner and dinner these days without thinking. Cheng Mian's body is getting weaker and weaker, and even after seeing so many doctors, there is no improvement. This time, my father-in-law is able to help him in times of need.
By the way, something so precious must be expensive. As much money as you need, I will order it to you immediately. "
Old Man Zou waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Old man, I am not here to sell to the Governor, or to ask for credit. Being able to find such a good thing successfully is a kind of chance, which is enough to prove that the Governor is deeply blessed. Villain The old lady and I just hope that we can help the Governor, but we don’t need any money.”
Li Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Money must be given. Since such a precious medicinal herb is not easy to obtain, you must have spent a lot of effort to find it."
Old man Zou chuckled and said, "It's not troublesome to pick it. The main reason is that it's hard to find the place where the grass grows. This thing usually grows in moist mountain forests, or on moist rocks and in crevices. It took a lot of effort. Finally, with luck, I found it near several salt wells in the north of Lizhou City..."
Li Yuan was stunned and quickly asked: "Salt well? Where is the salt well? There is actually a salt well in Chu Land?!"
Old Man Zou frowned and paused, then said with a smile: "Oh, actually it's not a salt well, it's just a few large wells dug there by the original King of Chu, Ma Xifan, saying that salt can be produced there. , I don’t know how many civilians were recruited at that time, but in the end, it had little effect, and it has been abandoned for a long time...
The villain didn’t want to think about Hui Xin Cao’s happiness, so he searched all the way along the Lishui River. It happened that those big wells were right next to the Lishui River..."
Li Yuan listened to Old Man Zou's ramblings, but his thoughts had already drifted to another place. Lizhou actually has a salt well? This news was like a light that suddenly illuminated the thick fog in Li Yuan's heart. Although King Ma Xifan of Chu did not produce salt, it must not have been a whim for the king of a country to spend so much effort to order people to dig wells there. What was discovered.
Li Yuan has been worrying about a good way to make money continuously recently. Isn't the emergence of this salt well just a timely help? If salt can really be produced under Wu Ping's rule, it will be a treasure falling from the sky...
.I went to celebrate my birthday yesterday, so I took a day off.
