"Sir, my horsemanship is better than yours."
Yunfei said sincerely, but he felt much more relaxed.
It turns out that the young master is not bad, he just wants him to buy a horse and help Master Hua deliver a message.
He patted the purse on his waist and decided to pick out the best thousand-mile horse. After training the horse, he would show the young master the difference in equestrian skills between him and the young master.
Ning Wuyang felt the provocation from Yunfei and waved his hand in confusion.
He asked Yunfei to buy horses in front of Hua Yi, but he actually had an ulterior motive, not wanting Yunfei to be regarded as an errand boy by Hua Yi.
When Yunfei left, Hua Yi asked him in confusion: "Isn't this little Yunfei a servant of Ning Mansion?"
"No, he is also the queen of the general family, but there was a disaster in his hometown, and he was the only one left in the family. He came to seek refuge with grandpa..."
Ning Wuyang took the opportunity to tell Yunfei's life experience.
After Hua Yi heard about the disaster, his expression changed slightly, and a look of annoyance appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect that Xiao Yunfei was one of the refugees affected by the disaster. In fact, not many people died in the natural disaster. However, after a severe drought, there will be a severe flood. The food that came down from the upper reaches was soaked and smelly, but people suffered from the lack of food. Relief, choose the former between eating a bad stomach or starving to death.”
"The result is that there was no starvation at that time, but dysentery was rampant afterwards, and more people died from illness than from natural disasters."
Dysentery?
Aren't they all starving to death?
Ning Wuyang was worried that Yunfei would recall the past and cause unnecessary harm to his young mind, so he never asked about the disaster in detail.
Hearing Hua Yi's words at this time, he was shocked: "Master Hua, you said that many people died of dysentery because of insufficient medicinal materials? Didn't the imperial court distribute medicinal materials on time to prevent the plague after natural disasters?"
There are many types of dysentery.
As far as he knows, there are infectious types caused by bacteria, and there are also simple types caused by bad stomach.
For example, those teaching students in Cheng Yi were greedy for cold drinks and ate too much ice some time ago. They had diarrhea and were almost dehydrated. The doctors in the city diagnosed them as dysentery. After asking, they found out that some unwashed wild fruits were added to the ice drinks.
A bad stomach condition like this is easy to treat. After two days of ingestion of decoction, the young and old continued to take turns attending classes.
Yesterday, Cheng Yi came to ask for a few ice drinks and went back to continue eating.
He originally thought that dysentery was not a serious disease, but only after hearing Hua Yi's words did he realize how terrible it was.
"Sigh... It's not that there is a shortage of medicinal materials. I was responsible for this matter together with Chief Zheng of the Imperial Hospital at the time. It's just that our medical skills were not good and we didn't find any effective medicine to treat dysentery. So after this incident, I resigned and returned to my former residence. ”
In the land of plenty in the south of the Yangtze River, there are not so many natural and man-made disasters.
In the future, we will not be affected by the great rejuvenation of the country or be implicated in the disasters of war.
Hua Yi knew that he had chosen to escape timidly after witnessing the scene of hell on earth, but he really didn't want to watch the living lives disappear in front of his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.
so.
Taking the initiative to research tobacco that could help wounded soldiers was regarded as making up for his previous regrets.
It was rare for Ning Wuyan to see remorse and guilt on Hua Yi's face, who was doing whatever he wanted.
Only then did he realize that Hua Yi actually had another side.
yes.
People are inherently complex and contradictory. Even a truly reclusive master who doesn't care about mundane things will change as long as he sees and experiences them.
People are like flowing water, shaped and changed according to the encounter with external objects. They are both soft and strong.
"The master cares about all living beings and is truly a role model for our generation."
Ning Wuyou cupped his fists and bowed.
When Hua Yi saw that someone was trying to put a high hat on him, all the emotion and emotion he had just felt were gone, and he looked at Ning Wuyan with vigilance.
Is this kid trying to trick me into doing something or contributing my skills again?
"Ning Shixian, if you have something to say, say it directly and don't flatter me."
Hua Yi's reaction made Ning Wuyan laugh and cry.
He really just expressed admiration and had no other meaning.
But since Hua Yi had to think that he had other intentions, he could only satisfy the other party's paranoia of being persecuted.
"Master Hua, I have actually seen a special medicine for treating dysentery in a lost secret recipe."
As soon as these words came out.
Hua Yi's pupils suddenly shrank, he reached out and grabbed Ning Wuyan's collar, and asked anxiously: "What special medicine? Have you seen it? Do we have it in Daxing?"
After being asked three times, and being grabbed by the collar, Ning Wuyao didn't know where or how to speak.
He could only use his only movable right hand to pat the back of Hua Yi's hand.
Master, if we have something to say, can we talk about it?
Only then did Hua Yi realize that he was too excited. He quickly let go of Ning Wuyan's collar and folded his arms. After a week of luck, he still couldn't calm down his excitement.
Taking advantage of the situation, he did not forget to complain about Ning Wuyan: "It's not that I reacted violently. Anyone who hears such news would do the same. You really caught me off guard by saying these words suddenly."
oh?
Master Hua, didn't you say it yourself so that I can speak frankly?
Of course, it was impossible for Ning Wushan not to pick up any pot to avoid being beaten.
In addition, he only knew that there was such a special medicine, and the rest had to be researched by Hua Yi. He could get half of the credit or even all the fame just by coming up with an idea, so his attitude must be correct.
In addition, this Qinghao can also be exchanged for internal strength and mental skills. Look for it, look for it hard.
Hua Yi saw that he let go of Ning Wuyan, but the other party didn't speak. Even though the time had not passed long, he couldn't help but urge.
"say something!"
"What kind of special medicine is there?"
Ning Wuhuang was thinking about whether he had seen the special medicine in Daxing before. Seeing Hua Yi's anxious state, he simply decided to try his luck in the mountains.
This thing is actually very common in the fields. When he was a child, he stepped on it and hated the smell it gave off.
"Ning Shixian, are you trying to trick me?"
Hua Yi was about to lose his patience.
Ning Wuyang quickly smiled and shook his head in denial: "I was just wondering if we have this medicinal material here. After thinking for a long time, no one seems to have used it, and I don't know if it grows in the fields. Why don't Master Hua come with me to find it? look?"
Are you talking about the herbs you are looking for now?
If you don’t know if there is one in the field, take him there?
Hua Yi always felt that the special medicine Ning Wuyang said was unreliable. If it was so easy to find and could specifically treat dysentery, why didn't he know about it? Why don’t so many big men in Daxing know about it?
But thinking that Ning Wuyan was not an innocent target, he hesitated and took a step forward.
"I'll let you go, but this ugly thing is ahead. If you can't find it, you have to tell me about this medicinal material. Even if Daxing doesn't have it, I'll have to look for it elsewhere."
Afraid that Ning Wushu would treat it indifferently and not take the matter seriously, Hua Yi reminded him of the importance of this matter.
"About 200,000 people died of dysentery in the past ten years. If you contribute this way, it will be equivalent to saving millions of people in your lifetime. With such a great achievement, I will risk my life to save it, and I will also ask Your Majesty to do it for you. You reward me."
Thank you very much.
Ning Wuyang was not interested in the old emperor's reward.
But he needs the reputation of saving people and his status in the eyes of the public.
For Ning Mansion, which has not yet become an official family, it must take root and work hard to make progress.
He has opened up the upward financial and official paths, Jinling and even the entire Jiangnan Road, and even registered in front of the old emperor. Therefore, before he entered Beijing, he had a foundation from the people and could consolidate more and more solidly.
At that time, even if King Jin knew that he killed Zhou An and wanted revenge, he would not dare to act rashly.
The accumulation of reputation capital of the Ning family relies on Hua Yi's enthusiasm. He is no longer limited to wounded soldiers or village students. Of course, he is happy to see this happen.
"Let's go look for it in the wet mountains first."
Ning Wuyang grabbed a handful of melon seeds and led Hua Yi out.
not far away.
Anuye, who was taking care of the potted tobacco, put down the gourd and gourd he was watering after the two left, with a look of surprise and joy on his face.
