No matter how embarrassing or shameless this judgment is, it doesn't matter at all.
"Actually, I am more optimistic about brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han than Han Lin'er. They are famous all over the world, have hundreds of thousands of strong troops, and now they occupy the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River. As a result, I am afraid that within two years, they will definitely Become the most powerful force in the world. By then, Han Lin'er and others will be trapped in the impoverished Henan area. How can they have the military and financial resources to compete with them. By then, the emperor Han Lin'er will be nothing more than a puppet. Even if there is no civil strife, Even if it is abolished, Zhu Yuanzhang can also rely on the land south of the Yangtze River to develop and grow calmly, and have the ability to go north to compete for the world." Kong Kejian said.
"Then who does father plan to let go to Jiangnan?" Kong Xi asked knowledgefully.
"Going to Jiangnan is very important. I actually decided to let you go to Jiangnan yourself."
Kong Xixue was shocked again when he heard this.
"Does father want me to go in person?"
Kong Kejian nodded and said, "Yes, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang are definitely not something ordinary people can handle. You are talented and knowledgeable, and it's time to see the world."
"Don't be shy this time when you go to Jiangnan. Take one hundred thousand taels of silver with you. Let's see if there is any business you can do and bring it back."
Jining Prefecture, where the Kong family is located, is located near the North-South Grand Canal.
As the most important canal commercial port in the interior of Shandong, the large and small warehouses and docks in Jining Prefecture basically have the shadow of the Kong family.
Therefore, the Kong family's financial resources, in addition to being a so-called farming and studying family and exploiting tenant farmers, also have an important channel for making money, and that is business.
Kong Xixue also nodded: "The boy obeys the order and will leave immediately to prepare for a trip to Jiangnan."
.
.
.
Jiangnan, Jinling.
The original Yamen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces is now Zhu Han’s Yamen of Jiangnan province and Pingzhang.
Since entering Jinling, Zhu Han has not changed the pattern of Jiangnan on a large scale.
Because he was always observing.
Observe which aspects need drastic improvement, and prepare to concentrate your own financial, human and other resources to make rectifications.
After all, brother Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's original strength only controlled half of Jiangbei Province.
If it's a bit bigger, it's only a dozen counties.
Today's Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are located in Fujian, which supports its own troops, and there are pirates in eastern Zhejiang. Most of the territory has surrendered to the Red Scarf Army Zhu Han brothers.
As a result, with a vast population of tens of millions and hundreds of counties, the talent pool in Zhu Han's hands was simply not enough.
Nowadays, the core area of Jinling and Suzhou is barely maintained.
As for other places, we can only focus on sending people to solve important problems.
Liu Bowen and Shi Naian sat on both sides of the hall.
Next to them, there were Hu Weiyong and a group of other clerks.
Liu Bowen opened his mouth and said first, "Sir, I received a messenger from the imperial court yesterday, urging us to prepare grain and fodder to supply the army's needs for the Northern Expedition. I don't know how you should make a decision."
Since the Red Scarf Army recaptured Bianliang City under the leadership of Liu Futong, the size of the army has greatly expanded, and a large number of scholars and scholars have been recruited as officials of the Song Dynasty court.
As a result, the required consumption of food, grass, military pay, and other materials increased sharply.
After several generous rewards, the Bianliang Red Scarf Army exhausted its original reserves and sent people to Jiangnan again and again to ask for Zhu Han's support.
Zhu Han was already very dissatisfied with this.
Zhu Han looked unhappy and said to Liu Bowen: "Send someone to arrange for the envoy to stay in the post house, and provide him with good food and drink. As for food, military pay, etc., we in the south of the Yangtze River did not come from the strong wind. Money and food They are all collected from the people of Jiangnan, how can we allow them to squander it like this?"
Zhu Han was quite dissatisfied. According to the intelligence coming from Bianliang, since the capture of Bianliang, a large number of Liu Futong's Red Scarf Army generals began to become rapidly corrupted and indulged in pleasure.
There are hundreds of geishas, maikos and troupes of all kinds.
Just eating and drinking for these people is a huge expense.
According to the decision of the great court meeting in Yingzhou before the Red Turban Army's Northern Expedition, the grain, grass, military pay and other materials supported by brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han had already been sent to the main force of the Red Turban Army.
Now, Liu Futong has sent people to his house one after another to collect grain and grass taxes, which is naturally inconsistent with the previous agreement.
Zhu Han was too lazy to pay attention to him.
He is still very busy with the affairs of governing Jiangnan, so he has no time to support people like the Red Scarf Army and spend their time in Bianliang.
Zhu Han didn't have time to send messengers for the time being. Since Liu Futong wanted money and food, he should wait first.
He decided to show off the messenger first.
After a month of preparation, Zhu Han now has three plans for how to solve the governance problems in Jiangnan.
Zhu Han's first blow was to strike the land.
Mainly on the issue of land distribution, there were originally a large number of official lands directly under the jurisdiction of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties. These lands originally belonged to various levels of government.
Now that the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties were defeated, all these official fields were taken over by the Red Turban Army.
Zhu Han naturally started from these official lands. He planned to subcontract these official lands to the common people and refugees who came to them in the name of production responsibility system.
In fact, it was also the civilian settlement and military settlement plan implemented in the Dingyuan area of Zhuzhou.
The taxes paid by these civilian villages and military villages were fixed.
In other words, as long as farmers in Juntun and Mintun work more, they will earn more. No matter how much you harvest, after all, the share you turn over is a certain amount, and the rest is yours.
In this way, the fertile farmland in Jiangnan will play a huge role, and the local people will soon have enough food and clothing, and there will no longer be a large number of refugees.
In addition, he will continue to seize land from local tyrants in Jiangbei. He has sent people to secretly investigate the names of local tycoons and gentry in various prefectures, counties, and counties, and has drawn up black and white account books and dispatched supervisory messengers.
Zhu Han set up inspection offices in various state governments to check those local tyrants and evil gentry who had committed heinous crimes. Their crimes would be publicly tried, and then their land would be confiscated and distributed to the poor local people.
In this way, a large amount of fertile land can be obtained in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
It is enough to settle the poor farmers and refugees who have no land, and stabilize the people's livelihood in Jiangnan.
Zhu Han's second attack was on industry and commerce.
This decision was far beyond the expectations of Shi Naian, Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong and others.
They knew that Deputy Commander Zhu Han valued industry and commerce, but they did not expect that he would attach such importance to it.
Zhu Han's generosity in industry and commerce is enough to shock everyone.
He registered all the craftsmen in Jinling, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Changzhou in most of the south of the Yangtze River.
Detailed fish scale books are drawn up for each person's age, household registration, craftsmanship, age, length of service, etc.
According to the fish scale books of these craftsmen, Zhu Han planned to build three important industrial and commercial centers.
The first one is Chuzhou in Jiangbei. As his hometown, it will serve as a small but sophisticated R&D reserve industrial base.
The other two are Jinling and Suzhou. As newly established industrial and commercial centers, they are vigorously developing iron smelting, glass, sugar, etc.
"Sir, the heads of the Shen family in Suzhou, the Zhou family in Hangzhou, and the Qian family in Hangzhou have all arrived in Jinling and are on standby at any time." Shi Naian said again.
Zhu Han nodded slightly.
These people are the richest wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
There are even many families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. For example, the Qian family in Hangzhou is descended from Qian Liu, the king of Wuyue during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. As a powerful clan entrenched in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zhu Han is naturally the We attach great importance to them. We need to cooperate with these people first, and then slowly divide and disintegrate them.
Zhu Han said: "First send someone to make arrangements and let them rest in the post house for a day. I will host a banquet for them in the government office tomorrow night. These are big fat sheep. To make them bleed, they need to be coaxed." them."
Zhu Han laughed as he spoke.
Shi Naian, Hu Weiyong, Liu Bowen and others also echoed and laughed.
The large amounts of money, grain, silver, and craftsmen needed for Zhu Han's big industrial and commercial plan all needed to be obtained from the hands of these wealthy businessmen.
After all, financial, human and other resources are now concentrated in the hands of these big business families. Only when they are handed over obediently can the advanced technologies in Zhu Han's hands shine.
At this time, Zhu Han turned to look at Hu Weiyong again, and then said to him: "Hu Weiyong, I sent you to invite the head of the Nankong family, why haven't you come yet?"
When the Northern Song Dynasty fell, the Kong family in Qufu split into two branches, the northern and southern clans.
The eldest branch also followed the Southern Song Dynasty court to settle in the south of the Yangtze River, while the other branch stayed in their hometown in Qufu to guard their ancestral tombs and houses.
From then on, the descendants of Yanshenggong were divided into Nankong and Beikong.
Logically speaking, the orthodox direct line of the eldest son and grandson should be the Confucius family in the south. However, the Confucius family in the south successively declined the canonization of Duke Yansheng in the Yuan Dynasty. From that time, the title of Duke Yansheng fell to Beikong.
Hu Weiyong hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir, in accordance with your order, I have sent people to Quzhou to invite the Kong family. However, Kong Yuanlang happened to be ill and will not be able to leave for a while. He will have to wait at least ten days and a half. Only then can I come to Jinling.”
"What? Are you really sick?"
Zhu Han was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Is it true that he can't come, or is he pretending that he can't come?"
Zhu Han's third plan was to attack Confucianism and the imperial examination. As the biggest golden brand of Confucianism, the name of the Kong family must be put to good use.
Therefore, Zhu Han sent people to Quzhou to invite the head of Nankong to come to Jinling for this purpose.
Unexpectedly, the head of Nankong's family was so cunning that he couldn't even invite him. Zhu Han naturally doubted whether he was watching from both ends.
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir. The head of the Kong family will never dare to deceive you. When the official sent someone to invite him this time, he also sent two medical officers to follow him. Those two doctors The official came back and said that the head of the Kong family is indeed ill. After checking his pulse, it seems that he is still seriously ill and cannot come to Jinling."
When Zhu Han heard this, he couldn't help but said, "Oh, he is really sick. So what exactly is the disease?"
Hu Weiyong said quickly, "I heard from the medical officer that he seems to have tuberculosis caused by years of overwork."
"What? Consumption?"
Zhu Han was greatly surprised when he heard this.
For a wealthy family like the Kong family.
Tuberculosis caused by malnutrition is simply impossible.
Moreover, the theory that the family suffered from overwork for many years is even more ridiculous. How could the Kong family cause the entire family to suffer from overwork?
In this way, Zhu Hai naturally thought of tuberculosis, which is an infectious disease.
"If it's really tuberculosis, it's really dangerous." Zhu Han said.
Damn it, if it’s really tuberculosis, it’s contagious tuberculosis.
Clothes used by patients, as well as saliva droplets, can spread tuberculosis.
Once the Mycobacterium tuberculosis enters the human body, it is almost an incurable disease for ancient people of this era. They can only wait for the organs to deteriorate step by step, and finally wait for death.
"First Evolution"
However, Zhu Han signed in before and was rewarded with a lot of antibiotics. Although the number of antibiotics was not large, it could not hold up to the extremely huge content of each antibiotic unit.
For the ancient people of this era, an ordinary antibiotic can only treat modern people with one injection, but it can cure the inflammation and infection of at least hundreds of ancient people.
"If this is the case, then there is no need for the head of the Kong family to come to Jinling. Let's do this, Hu Weiyong, take my warrant and go to the medical officer of the government office later to receive a batch of medicines, and then send someone with the doctor The official went to Quzhou and used this batch of magic medicine for the head of the Kong family. If the symptoms were corrected, once the medicine was used and the medicine was used until the disease was cured, the tuberculosis for many years would be cured in only three to five days. It would definitely be an immediate recovery. Zhu Han said.
"Yes, sir!" Hu Weiyong quickly accepted the order.
The current head of the Nankong family, Kong Wenchang, is only in his thirties and has always had a very good reputation in Jiangnan.
His son is only a few years old and cannot support the family business at all.
If the head of the Nankong family falls, the successors of the branch will not have such a great reputation.
For Zhu Han, the more famous he is as a descendant of Confucius, the more useful it will be.
Zhu Han's "Three Bans and Axes" policy assigned Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong and Shi Naian to implement the specific arrangements.
Liu Bowen was responsible for determining the land and preparations in Jiangnan, while Shi Naian helped contact the aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen and others in Jiangnan, and contributed money and efforts to help the Red Scarf Army stabilize Jinling's industry and commerce, development, and industry.
Hu Weiyong's task was to start from Nankong and firmly hold the banner of the future Confucian revival movement in Zhu Han's own hands.
For Confucianism, which has been in chaos for more than a hundred years, as long as the descendants of Confucius support Zhu Han, the upcoming series of new Confucianism will inevitably reduce a lot of resistance and be promoted and implemented unimpeded.
After another half month of preparation, the vigorous land distribution movement in Jiangnan Province began. Hundreds of thousands of Jiangnan people were all allocated land that generations of people had never dreamed of owning.
They were grateful to Zhu Han, the newly arrived Pingzhang from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. They spontaneously created new words in various places to write poems for Zhu Han. Every day, the whole family respectfully burned incense and prayed, and sincerely prayed for Zhu Han's blessings.
Correspondingly, there were naturally a group of local tyrants and evil gentry who committed heinous crimes. They were suppressed by the Red Scarf Army. Not only did their land and family properties be confiscated, but in line with the principle of holding people accountable, they were publicly tried and sentenced to beheadings and other punishments, which greatly shocked the people. won the hearts of the people.
East Zhejiang, Quzhou.
As the residence of the Kong family of Nanzong, the size of Quzhou Kongfu is much shabby compared to Beikong in Qufu. It neither covers an area of hundreds of acres nor has the defenses comparable to the city wall. Even The bricks and stones used are much smaller than those specified by the Beizong Kong family.
However, the Kong family of Nanzong has a real bookish spirit.
It has been passed down in this family, instead of speculating like the Kong family Yan Shenggong in Beikong.
"Ahem!"
A muffled cough came from the inner courtyard of Kong's house.
Kong Yuanlang, the head of the Nankong family, was lying on the bed with a distressed look on his face. A doctor next to him was holding a silver needle and was giving Kong Yuanlang acupuncture.
"Tuberculosis is caused by evil poison entering the body. Acupuncture and moxibustion stones no longer work. My medical skills are finally exhausted!"
After some acupuncture, the doctor looked sad, obviously making no progress.
Kong Yuanlang couldn't bear to criticize the doctor's hard work, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Bo Ren, you are being humble. In fact, I feel much better."
This doctor's name is Hua Shou. He is one of the most famous doctors in Jiangnan. He is from a scholarly family and is very close to the Confucius family of Nanzong.
Hua Shou Hua Boren sighed, not knowing what to say.
"Actually, I know this disease myself, so I can't rush for success. I have to take my time." Kong Yuanlang said.
Hua Shou sighed in his heart. This tuberculosis disease is not something that can be cured slowly. He has been practicing medicine for decades. Anyone who suffers from tuberculosis, no matter you are a nobleman or a trafficker, there will be no one in the end. Can heal well.
Tuberculosis, the final outcome is death.
At this moment, a servant's voice came from outside the door.
"Sir, master, someone is coming from the Jiangnan Pingzhang Mansion Yamen in Jinling!"
When Kong Yuanlang heard this, he immediately got up from the hospital bed, "What, did you send someone here again?"
An ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind. Not long ago, Kong Yuanlang rejected the recruitment and appointment of Zhu Han, Pingzhang, Jiangnan Province of the Red Scarf Army. Although he was really sick, in the eyes of ordinary people, he would definitely think that he was avoiding it because of illness.
"These red scarf thieves are really bullying people!" Hua Shou said angrily.
Hua Shou also felt that if the Red Scarf Army once again sent people to Kong's Mansion in Quzhou, they would definitely force Kong Yuanlang to go to Jinling to accept the official appointment.
After all, the reputation of the descendants of the saint Confucius is simply too important to the Red Turban Army, which started its rebellion.
Because once a descendant of the saint Confucius can become an official of the Red Turban Army, the Red Turban Army will immediately gain great prestige.
"Hey, please come in quickly. I'll change my clothes and go to greet you." Kong Yuanlang said quickly.
"Yes, sir!"
The servant quickly responded.
"Brother Ziming, the Red Scarf Army has sent people to force you to go to Jinling." Hua Shou said worriedly.
"If that's the case, I can only force my sick body to go to Jinling." Kong Yuanlang said.
After changing clothes, Kong Yuanlang, accompanied by Hua Shou, went to the front yard to inquire about the Red Scarf Army envoys coming from Jinling.
"My subordinate, Yang Xian, is a minister of Jiangnan Province. On the order of the Duke of Huai, I came here to deliver a magical medicine to Mr. Kong, specially designed to cure stubborn diseases!"
This Jiangnan official named Yang Xian said loudly when he saw Kong Yuanlang.
The two medical officers behind him were the same two medical officers who had been here last time.
When Kong Yuanlang and Hua Shou heard this, their expressions changed instantly.
Both of them were angry but dared not speak, and their faces turned red and white.
They all felt that brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han, the red scarf thieves, must have been angry because Kong Yuanlang refused the red scarf officer position, so they sent someone to administer poison in the name of medical treatment!
They saw a medical officer behind Yang Xian, holding a green transparent glass bottle with a faint green light in his hands, and their hearts were filled with despair.
Hua Shou was furious when he saw this. He took a step forward and was about to speak, but was pulled back by Kong Yuanlang.
Kong Yuanlang squeezed out a smile and said weakly: "In that case, Kong will thank Duke Huai!"
Duke Zhu Han of the Huai Kingdom was young, but his methods were so vicious. No wonder he was able to rise among the heroes in just three years.
Kong Yuanlang didn't want to harm his family, so he pretended to be calm and accepted this 'poison'.
"Okay, then help Mr. Kong take the medicine first." Yang Xian nodded seriously.
As a minister under Zhu Han, Yang Xian has always been serious about his work.
This time, Zhu Han sent him to treat Kong Yuanlang's tuberculosis. He personally told Yang Xian to watch Kong Yuanlang take the medicine, and then take the medicine for a course of treatment. After his condition improved, he would take Kong Yuanlang back from Quzhou. When you arrive at Jinling, you must not rush.
The road from Quzhou to Jinling Mountain is difficult to travel. If Kong Yuanlang is tired and something goes wrong, the gain will outweigh the loss.
When Kong Yuanlang and Hua Shou heard this, they both looked desperate.
Hua Shou wanted to stand up for his friend, but he had just realized what Kong Yuanlang meant. The red scarf thief was so insidious and narrow-minded. Kong Yuanlang just refused to become an official, so he was sent poison.
If I try to stand out again, I'm afraid it will harm Kong Yuanlang's whole family.
"Kong Yuanlang thanks Duke Huai again!"
Kong Yuanlang looked pale and accepted this death arrangement with a desperate expression.
Yang Xian waved his hand, and the medical officer poured out a pill that looked like a red bean from the emerald green glass bottle. It was shiny red and looked like a dangerous poison.
Hua Shou couldn't bear to take a closer look and looked away.
At this time, Kong Yuanlang had already taken the 'poison' and swallowed it with all his strength. He even blushed due to choking.
"Master Kong, this needs to be swallowed with water." The medical officer saw this and said quickly.
"Thank you." Kong Yuanlang said with a red face.
When Kong Yuanlang was about to take it, Yang Xian smiled and said: "Master Kong, this medicine is the magic medicine rifampicin refined by Duke Huai. It is specially used to treat all tuberculosis evils. Yang is in Quzhou Post House We will stay here until Lord Kong recovers from his illness, and then we will go to Jinling together."
Yang Xian's words were waiting for Kong Yuanlang to recover from his illness.
But to Kong Yuanlang and Hua Shou, it had a different meaning, that they would not give up until the news of Kong Yuanlang's death in Quzhou!
"The red scarf thief is so vicious!" Hua Shou cursed secretly in his heart.
"My life is at an end. I hope that Zhu Hanneng will not bring harm to his family. Anyway, I will die sooner or later due to my tuberculosis." Kong Yuanlang was completely despairing.
After Yang Xian and others left, Hua Shou burst into tears for his friend Kong Yuanlang in grief and anger.
Kong Yuanlang had no choice but to comfort his friend Hua Shou first, and then found his wives, concubines, children and brothers from other families to start arranging the funeral arrangements.
After everyone listened to Kong Yuanlang's arrangement, they burst into tears.
The entire Confucius Mansion in Quzhou began to prepare coffins, coffins, linen and white clothes and other funeral items under the arrangement of Kong Yuanlang.
Since Zhu Han sent someone to poison him, Kong Yuanlang naturally could not die quietly.
Only by making his death known to everyone can the red scarf thief be satisfied.
really.
At night, Kong Yuanlang began to have symptoms of vomiting, a sallow complexion, and chills all over his body. Even his urine turned orange-red.
The inmates of the Kong family suddenly burst into tears of sadness, feeling that Kong Yuanlang would not be able to survive the night.
When Hua Shou saw these symptoms, he naturally knew that the poison of the red scarf thief was caused. He was helpless. Even if there was a way to detoxify and save his life, Kong Yuanlang would not survive.
Throughout the night, the Confucius family completed the mourning hall and other funeral arrangements while weeping in sorrow, and even completed the obituary notices for relatives and friends.
Kong Yuanlang's wife, concubines and children stayed up all night and stayed outside the bedroom.
After experiencing vomiting and high fever, Kong Yuanlang fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Following the chirping of birds in the early morning, just when everyone in the Kong Mansion thought Kong Yuanlang was cool, they suddenly heard a sound in the inner bedroom.
Kong Yuanlang got up safely and soundly!
Not only was everyone in the Kong family extremely horrified, but Kong Yuanlang himself was also very shocked.
"I felt so uncomfortable last night, but I didn't die?"
"Or are you saying that you have returned to your former glory today?"
After a while, Hua Shou was hurriedly invited over.
When Hua Shou saw that Kong Yuanlang's face was rosy, his breathing was even, and he still looked weak from coughing, it was obvious that he was already mostly recovered.
When he took his pulse again, Hua Shou's expression suddenly changed.
"It's already mostly healed?"
Hua Shou exclaimed.
"What? Brother Bo Ren, what did you say is most likely good?" Kong Yuanlang asked.
Hua Shou didn't say anything, but went through another set of inspection, hearing and questioning procedures, and then said in surprise: "Brother Kong, your condition has improved a lot, and most of the tuberculosis poison has been cured!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Kong family was filled with exclamations of surprise.
Everyone in the world doesn't know that once you contract tuberculosis, it is a terminal disease that will inevitably lead to death. It has never been heard of anyone being able to recover.
The head of his family, Kong Yuanlang, was mostly healed overnight.
Doesn't that mean that what Zhu Han, the leader of the red scarf thieves, sent was not some kind of poison, but a real miracle medicine!
"Brother Bo Ren, do you think it's because of the mutual conflict between the poisons that I'm mostly cured of this disease?" Kong Yuanlang said.
Hua Shou shook his head, "Absolutely impossible. When I checked my pulse last night, I noticed something abnormal. Now it seems that it is the pill that is working!"
In Hua Shou's opinion, any miraculous medical skills that combine poisons are nonsense.
If two poisons are really in the human body, it will only make the person die faster, and it is difficult to have any effect of fighting poison with poison.
"Then this means that Zhu Han really wants to send someone to rescue me?" Kong Yuanlang suddenly doubted his life.
Last night, he summoned his relatives to arrange funeral arrangements and wrote a suicide note. Wasn't it all a shameful incident?
"Haha, now it seems that maybe this is really the case! Ziming, please send someone to ask Yang Qian for help, and you will know after seeing his reaction?" Hua Shou said hurriedly.
In Hua Shou's heart, he was already impatient to know what the magic medicine sent by the Red Scarf Army was!
This magical medicine can actually cure most of the stubborn and terminal illnesses overnight, which is really unheard of in ancient times and modern times!
"well!"
Kong Yuanlang thought that he could hide from this kind of thing for a while, but not forever.
If the Red Scarf Army Zhu Han wanted to poison him, he would not be able to escape no matter what.
If they really want to save themselves, it will naturally be seen in the reactions of Yang Xian and others.
Quzhou Kong's people quickly went to Quzhou Posthouse and invited Yang Xian and others over.
After seeing Kong Yuanlang, Yang Xian and others were really surprised, and they didn't look forward to Kong Yuanlang's death at all.
"Oh, it seems that yesterday I was a villain and tried to judge a gentleman. Zhu Han actually treated me. I still thought so wildly. I really feel ashamed of the teachings of the sages!" Kong Yuanlang thought in his heart. Blame yourself.
"Master Kong, according to Duke Huai's instructions, this medicine should be taken for five consecutive days to be considered a course of treatment." After Yang Xian said this, he sent a medical officer to take out another pill.
Hua Shou, who was standing aside, stared at the pill, trying to figure out some clues.
But apart from the beautiful red color of the pill, Hua Shou couldn't see any way to use it as medicine.
Hua Shou endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Hua Shou is brave. I would like to ask Master Yang, what is this medicine made of?" Hua Shou said.
Yang Xian was immediately stunned by the question.
He was a clerk in Pingzhang Yamen in Jiangnan, and he didn't know anything about medicine and medical treatment.
He looked at the accompanying medical officer, who also had a troubled expression on his face. The medical officer was also acting under orders. He didn't know where the medicines in the medical library of the Grand Marshal's Mansion came from, let alone how to make them.
"Uh, I'm being rude!" Hua Shou said with some shame upon seeing this.
According to the rules of medicine, a prescription that can cure the terminal disease of 'tuberculosis' can almost create a family of miracle doctors!
What's more, this 'miracle doctor' can evolve into a 'miracle doctor family', allowing future generations to enjoy eternal wealth.
Such a magical medicine that has benefited the world forever, let alone telling an outsider like Hua Shou what medicinal materials to use and how to prepare it, even any of the medicinal materials in it are top secrets that must not be spread to outsiders.
A secret recipe worthy of being kept secret by the whole family!
Hua Shou's question just now was naturally very rude!
"Mr. Hua, to be honest, this magical medicine was given by Duke Huai himself. As for how to prepare it, only Duke Huai knows!" The little medical officer had long recognized that the old man in front of him was Hua Shou, a famous doctor from Jiangnan, and he quickly paid his respects. Said respectfully.
"What? Duke Huai actually knows medical skills?" Hua Shou was shocked when he heard this.
He had only heard people say that Zhu Han, the deputy commander of the Red Scarf Army Longxing, was both civil and military and was full of wits.
Not only can he manage government affairs, but he can also mount a horse to kill the enemy.
But I never thought that he actually knew medical skills, and how powerful he was.
"Huai Guogong studied ancient and modern times, and he understood everything in the world. Back then, he used only one dose of magic medicine to eradicate the dysentery plague in Dingyuan County!" The medical officer said with a proud face. He was the specific implementer of the dysentery epidemic in the county, and the techniques for preventing and treating dysentery were also taught by Zhu Han himself.
"What? Can you even cure the dysentery plague?" Hua Shou was even more shocked.
Bacillary dysentery is an acute and severe plague. Once it spreads, traditional medical skills are almost helpless and can only rely on the patient to resist it. It can be regarded as a semi-terminal disease. As long as the body and bones are slightly weak, he will definitely die. .
"That's right, I've just learned some skills." The medical officer said proudly.
"My dear brother, I'm brave. I'm willing to trade the typhoid powder that is passed down from my family for this dysentery prescription, okay?" Hua Shou suddenly looked flattering.
Next, the two people ran to the side to discuss medical skills.
Kong Yuanlang now knew that the Red Scarf Army Zhu Han really wanted to poison him.
But he really wants to cure his chronic illness and feel better for a while.
In the following days, Yang Xian and the medical officer came to administer the medicine on time. In just a few days, Kong Yuanlang had completely recovered.
Not only was the problem of tuberculosis gone, but all the other minor ailments on my body also disappeared without a trace.
In fact, this is all the effect of the antibiotic rifampicin. Most pathogenic bacteria simply cannot withstand such powerful antibiotics.
As soon as Kong Yuanlang recovered, Yang Xian immediately urged him to set off for Jinling together.
Even his friend Hua Shou next to him urged Kong Yuanlang to go to Jinling even more anxiously than Yang Xian.
Because Hua Shou has already found out clearly that all the magic medicine prescriptions are made by Zhu Han alone. If you want to know how these magic medicines that can save countless people are made, Hua Shou must go to Jinling to see Zhu Han. .
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda! What's more, this magical medicine can save millions of lives. Ziming, you must not refuse!" Hua Shou persuaded loudly.
The real person Zhu Han wanted to see was Kong Yuanlang, and Hua Shou naturally had to be an accompanying person to see Zhu Han.
"Okay, then I'll set off immediately!"
Kong Yuanlang originally didn't want to get involved in the chaos, but now he has been saved by Zhu Han.
If you continue to hide in Quzhou, you may be a little ignorant of current affairs.
Furthermore, Zhu Han was the leader of the Red Scarf Army. It was so easy to save him. If he got really angry, it would be even easier to kill himself.
Two days later, Yang Xian, Kong Yuanlang, Hua Shou and others set off back to Jinling.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at Jinling.
As soon as they arrived at Jinling City, Kong Yuanlang, Hua Shou and others noticed some changes in Jinling City.
Compared with the previous period of Mongol and Yuan occupation, there are obviously more checkpoints outside Jinling City. Groups of Red Turban soldiers wearing military uniforms and hats are patrolling back and forth.
Although there were many soldiers at these checkpoints and outposts, none of them extorted or exploited passing business travelers. Only a tax card was set up at one of the checkpoints entering the city to collect business taxes.
"It's really rare that the Red Scarf Army can restrain these arrogant and powerful generals." Kong Yuanlang was secretly surprised.
He knew that most of the Red Scarf Army were from Huaixi in the north of the Yangtze River. They were from poor areas. When they came to the colorful world of Jiangnan, they did not make money and exploit them, which showed that the discipline of the Red Scarf Army was strict enough.
When they entered Jinling City, they were arranged to rest in the post house. Yang Xian said to report to Duke Huai and left.
Kong Yuanlang and Hua Shou thought that they had to wait three to five days to meet such a big shot as Zhu Han.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xiangang hurried back to invite him less than half an hour after leaving.
"Master Kong, the Duke of the Kingdom has invited you!"
Yang Xian brought a carriage and guards, and took Kong Yuanlang and Hua Shou to Pingzhang Yamen in Jiangnan.
"Deputy Commander, Master Kong and the others are here."
After entering the Yamen, Yang Xian immediately went in first to report.
Zhu Han nodded and said, "Please!"
He was anxious to see Kong Yuanlang because something was imminent.
A few days ago, news came from my brother Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because they captured Bianliang City, Han Lin'er, Liu Futong and others felt that destiny had returned to the side of the Song Dynasty.
In order to declare his legitimacy and win over scholars all over the world, Liu Futong had already suggested that the Red Turban Emperor of the Song Dynasty reopen the imperial examination.
As for the location, Bianliang was chosen.
Zhu Han was very dissatisfied with the reopening of the imperial examination.
This is a clear plan to plunder talents from all over the world.
Especially for Jiangnan, seven out of ten literati and Confucian scholars in the world are in Jiangnan. Once these people respond to the Bianliang imperial examination, there will not be many available talents left for Zhu Han.
Therefore, Zhu Han planned to take the lead and hold his own imperial examination in Jinling!
As for whether it complied with the etiquette rules of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Han didn't care at all.
If Liu Futong and Han Liner are not satisfied, you can bite me if you have the ability!
Winning over Kong Yuanlang, a member of the Nankong family, to his side was enough to set up his own imperial examination in Jiangnan.
Moreover, Zhu Han also planned to use Kong Yuanlang's reputation as a descendant of Confucius to promote the new Confucianism he had prepared.
"Deputy Commander, Mr. Kong and the others are here." Yang Xian came in to report.
Kong Yuanlang and Hua Shou came in together and saluted quickly.
"Kong Yuen Long, a common man, pays homage to the Duke!"
"Hua Shou, a grass-roots citizen, pays homage to the Duke!"
Zhu Han quickly stepped forward and helped the two people up.
"Both of you, please excuse me and take your seats!"
At this time, Kong Yuanlang and Hua Shou took the opportunity to quietly take a look at Zhu Han.
It didn't matter what they saw. They were immediately startled.
No one would have thought... Zhu Han was so young. Although he was tall, he looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old.
However, neither of them dared to take it lightly.
After some polite conversation, Kong Yuanlang said sincerely.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Kong to repay the Duke's life-saving kindness, but he is sent and will never refuse!"
Obviously, Kong Yuanlang had made up his mind and planned to assist Zhu Han.
After all, he has already arrived in Jinling City. If he comes to reject Zhu Han in person, he is not here to thank him for saving his life, but to slap him in the face.
"Haha, since Mr. Kong said so, I'm relieved." Zhu Han said with a smile.
At this time, Hua Shou could not help but feel excited in his heart, fearing that he would not have a chance to ask questions if it dragged on any longer.
"Hua wants to ask the Duke about something. I wonder if you can give me an answer?" Hua Shou suddenly interrupted and asked.
Zhu Han knew that Hua Shou was a famous doctor in the south of the Yangtze River, and even had the title of "Bian Que of the World".
��'s name, otherwise he would not agree to let him accompany him to see him.
"Sir, please tell me. I'll tell you everything I know!" Zhu Han said with a smile.
Promoting new medical techniques to improve people's livelihood is also a general strategy for governing Jiangnan. It is natural for famous doctors like Hua Shou to come to visit easily.

"My lord, you don't know how to make the magic medicine to treat tuberculosis?" Hua Shou asked anxiously.
When the average medical family hears this question, they will definitely get furious and then order someone to beat him with a stick.
