When the Liao Kingdom was still there, the Song Dynasty prohibited all merchant ships from going northward from Dengzhou. Therefore, Mizhou, Xin Ciying's hometown, became an important port for trade with Goryeo and Japan.
After the Jingkang Rebellion, half of the Song Dynasty was lost, so the Shipping Secretary stipulated:
All ships going north to the two countries must first go to Mingzhou, while ships going to the South China Sea need a trade certificate issued by Quanzhou or Guangzhou.
So Mingzhou is very lively, at least Mingzhou Port is very lively.
Before Xin Ciying led people from the Infantry Division to inspect the ships, the ships entering and exiting Mingzhou Port in just one day contributed more parking money than the taxes collected by grain-producing places like Qianzhou and Jizhou in half a month... …
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine how much hatred these people have aroused.
Zhao Mi prepared three large ships. Except for the one where the emperor was on, the other two ships each contained more than 300 people... all of them were elites he had selected.
In addition, there are two thousand people who set off by land, plus those left in Mingzhou Port, the Infantry Division has almost three thousand forbidden troops for this trip.
After all, according to the people under his command, the performance of their Infantry Division at Mingzhou Port can be said to be...
a shame.
This time, if the emperor had not insisted on coming with him, Du Shi Zhao really hoped that the Jin people could come again.
Speaking of emperors…
This Zhao Guan family also behaves a bit casually.
This trip was specially prepared for him. In addition to him, there were also doctors from various medical clinics who were forcibly invited by the Infantry Department... This was not bad, after all, Xin Ciying's foot injury needed treatment;
But what happened to those nuns, monks and Taoist priests?
What's going on with that group of students?
There are also a bunch of waiting officials dragged from the Ministry of Civil Affairs... If they didn't know the reason behind this formation, I'm afraid some people would really think that the emperor was going to go to sea again.
Although he knew that the officials were angry, he would not disturb Mingzhou officialdom during this trip, at least not in the official uniform of Magistrate Fan.
But according to the emperor's wishes, it seems that he wants to... get something big?
Zhao Mi's reason told him that it was impossible, but Zhao Mi's intuition told him:
His mind was wrong.
Liu Bang gave everyone... It should be said that each group of people had divided their positions and tried to keep them as far apart as possible.
Everyone has different identities and different things to do.
Now, everyone on the boat knew that he was the emperor, and to be able to sit on the emperor's boat... everyone was at least excited.
He also asked people to serve fruit snacks to this group of people. After that, Liu Bang cleared his throat and said:
"You can eat and drink, but you don't have to be polite."
They say this, but no one actually does it.
But he didn't care. He walked up to the group of doctors first and looked at Xin Ciying who was surrounded by everyone. The old man seemed very tired and drowsy.
"how?"
This is not a difficult disease. If it is just about injury, they can get the result at a glance.
But the key thing is that after getting the result, you still need to treat it!
Just look at His Majesty the Emperor's attitude towards this person and you will know that this is not an easy job.
"Although I say, if it can be cured, treat it. If it can't be cured, it won't be your fault. I know it well."
The emperor had said this, and everyone had no reason to remain silent. The doctor from the Chen Family Medical Center said:
"Guan, this gentleman's wound is really deep. Medication can only treat the symptoms. But if you want to wait for the flesh on this wound to grow back, I'm afraid it won't take more than a year and a half..."
The man shook his head midway through his words, and Liu Bang glared at him:
"Of course you won't lose your life through such a hole, I'm not blind!"
"Whether he will become a cripple in the future, please give me an accurate answer and don't say anything else!"
The man didn't expect the emperor to be so rude. He choked for a moment and hurriedly replied:
"Officials are wise! If medicine had been used to stop the bleeding in the first few hours, it would have been possible. But now... now the poison has been injected into the wound, and it has spread to the surrounding flesh... Even if we want to perform medical treatment, we have to dig up the rotten flesh first."
"The old gentleman's life is safe and his feet can be saved, but if he wants to walk like before... I'm afraid he won't be able to."
As soon as he said these words, Xin Ciying's eyelids moved, but they did not open after all.
You can tell from Lin Yifei's words of ridicule to him that if they are scholars, it doesn't matter if they are not good-looking. If they have a disability, they will naturally be inferior to others.
Looking at the old man's expression, I knew he was pretending to sleep and that he was very sad.
But Liu Bang was actually mentally prepared for this situation. He sighed softly and said to the doctors:
"No matter what, please do your best. If anyone can cure it, I will owe him a favor."
Everyone bowed and said yes, Liu Bang knew that there was only so much he could do... But for Fan Tong, if his life was still a matter of whether or not he should be saved before, then with the doctor's words, he must not be saved now. .
He passed this group of people and continued to move forward. The group of old men with white hair and the students who had stopped Qin Hui just now wanted to salute him, but he stopped them.
"Do you want to be an official?"
The emperor's question was strange. They had either been waiting in the waiting queue of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for more than ten years, or even had been waiting since Huizong's time. By the time the emperor had been changed twice, there was no turn. errand;
Others are students who have no connections at home and study hard day after day in Imperial College.
If you don’t want to be an official, why should you suffer this anger and hardship?
It's just that the emperor can be so direct, but they are all scholars, so they must be tactful. They all say something about serving the country and saving the people, without even the slightest new idea.
Liu Bang disliked their noise and asked again:
"Governor of Mingzhou, which of you wants to do it?"
Mingzhou!
Also the prefect!
The emperor seemed to have placed a million taels of gold in front of them and asked them:
Do you want it?
It was unclear what the official's intentions were, but they still kept mumbling the same words.
Only one...a student who was not too young, at least thirty years old, raised his hand.
If he hadn't been standing with the imperial students and dressed similarly, Liu Bang would have thought that this man was also an official waiting for a visit.
"Officials...students, students are willing to do it!"
He seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage, but he finally spoke out.
As soon as these words were said, the rest of the people gradually became quiet. They did not expect that someone would be so direct, and what they did not expect was that after saying these words...
It seems that nothing earth-shattering happened.
"May I have your name?"
He bowed and said: "Student Yu Yunwen is from Longzhou. He has not passed the scientific examination yet. At home..."
"Okay, okay..." Liu Bang waved his hand, "From tomorrow on, you will be the prefect of Mingzhou."
As soon as the emperor said these words, everyone, including Yu Yunwen, fell into a deathly silence.
