Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 54 Planting Herbs
Back in Huang County, Chen Wentian became more and more familiar with the control of horses. If the Han Dynasty could pass the driver's license test, Chen Wentian could barely pass it!

After adapting to the most efficient means of transportation in the Han Dynasty, he rarely went anywhere on foot...

Because he is too busy!

After returning from Gongsun's house, Chen Wentian quickly returned to Juxian Village to find Lin Lin and Qin Li, and then explained to them the results of his discussions with Patriarch Gongsun.

The matter of supplying salt blocks was naturally settled smoothly. After all, Chen Wentian signed a contract with Yanzhuang, even if he is a second hand, he has a solid identity...

Patriarch Gongsun promised to expand production in the future to ensure supply, and that vehicles, guards, etc. should be prepared to follow the standard arrangements this time, and the price of salt blocks will also remain the same.

Of course, Chen Wentian also happily agreed to add Gongsun's name to the new contract after the contract expired...

In addition, under the eyes of Miss Gongsun San asking for help... the head of the family also agreed to the Gongsun family's grain store to help Juxianzhuang sell some coarse grains next summer...

Of course, the implication is that this help is only for one year.

But even so, Chen Wentian is quite satisfied. Not only does he have a fixed income, but he can also be a troublemaker this year with peace of mind...

----

After notifying Lin Lin and Qin Li of the situation, he asked someone to find Mrs. Yun. After all, before leaving, several core members had to explain it individually, not to mention that he still had an immature idea...

"Sister-in-law Yun, you've worked hard recently, are you still used to living in the villa recently? If there is any inconvenience, please let Wentian know..."

…………

Seeing that Mrs. Yun still shook her head without saying a word, Chen Wentian sighed slightly, then organized his words and said, "Wentian is going on a long journey, and the itinerary is estimated to take more than half a year. Please ask Mrs. Yun to help Lin Sister..."

…………

"This... Wentian asked Mrs. Yun to come here, but I actually have something to ask..."

Chen Wentian continued to speak helplessly.

"Where does Mrs. Yun usually get the medicinal materials used in her practice?"

"Picking in the mountains."

"Are they all picked from the mountains? If..."

"If there is not enough in the mountains and the situation is urgent, you should go to the market to buy."

When it comes to what she is good at, Mrs. Yun is a little more talkative...

"Wen Tian also met medicinal material merchants in the market, but he doesn't know where the sources of the goods are?"

"They all hire herbal pickers to collect them regularly, and sometimes they will contact Orion for help when the medicinal materials are scarce..."

"So that's the case, but the total amount is still scarce. I think the medicinal materials in the market are more expensive..."

"There is no way around it, so I spend most of my time in practicing medicine on collecting medicines, which can save some money for medicines, otherwise poor people can't afford it..."

Sister-in-law Yun seemed to recall some past events and sighed.

"So I asked the sky, is it possible to plant some herbs in this mountain, so that it can solve some problems?"

Although Chen Wentian didn't know if there were people who had already started planting medicinal materials in the Han Dynasty, even if they did, the output would be very small, and the technology would not be popularized, and it is estimated that there would not be many varieties...

In his impression, the few medical books of the Han Dynasty did not mention the method of planting medicinal materials. Even if they were mentioned, since there is no printing technology now, it is estimated that there are very few people who have medical books...

But as far as he knows, most of the medicinal materials in later generations can be planted and cultivated artificially, and the technology involved in some varieties is not difficult, so he wondered if he could experiment with planting methods for some varieties in the Han Dynasty, which would not only reduce the The cost of medical treatment for some people can also become a cash crop in some areas with low food production!
And Juxian Village is built on the Dog Mountain, so it can naturally generate some income.

Of course, this may take a long time, and the effect may not be seen on the Dog Mountain, but he thinks that this possibility can be planted in advance, and maybe someday it will germinate and bear fruit...

"Planting herbs...?"

Mrs. Yun looked at Chen Wentian with a strange look.

"Yes, what's the problem? I think Mrs. Yun is not only good at medicine, but also good at agriculture and mulberry. She should be able to..."

Chen Wentian said seriously, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart, after all, he was a layman in this field...

He had this idea in his mind when he was looking for goods to sell on the return journey in the Jiaodong market, and he tentatively found a professional to ask for advice and verify it...

"How did you know that medicinal materials can be planted?"

"I... I saw that many herbs are also plants... they are almost the same as grains... I wonder if I can ask Mrs. Yun to take the children to try..."

"Is this true?"

"Of course it is true... Goushan is just a good place to try. Of course, I also know that it may take a lot of time, but I think as long as I persist, there will be results. If there are results, I will carefully record them in a book and pass them on to future generations. People can continue to try, and after so many generations, there will be no shortage of medicinal materials in the world..."

Chen Wentian said seriously.

"My lord... my lord, please be respected by me!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Yun knelt down excitedly and said sincerely.

"Sister-in-law Yun, sister-in-law Yun doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this... In this way, sister-in-law Yun also thinks it's feasible?"

Chen Wentian hurriedly supported Mrs. Yun and asked.

"I also heard about this matter from a certain drug dealer, but after inquiring, they were unwilling to elaborate. I thought that if I persisted, I would definitely benefit!"

"In this case, I will leave this matter to Mrs. Yun... When you try again and again, you don't have to rush for success, but you need to record it in detail..."

Chen Wentian excitedly told Mrs. Yun all the planting knowledge he knew about later generations, and asked her to pair one by one and try one by one...

Although the workload would be huge, of course Chen Wentian didn't have time to ask for it, so Aunt Yun agreed with a serious face.

While the two were still discussing some details, Qin Li came over and told Chen Wentian that Wang Yue had arrived...

----

"I haven't seen you in a few days, little friend, don't come here to be safe!"

Standing outside the simple courtyard wall of Juxian Village, Wang Yue smiled and said when he saw Chen Wentian walking with Ji Lan.

"Thank you for your concern, senior. The mansion was just built and the interior is messy. Please forgive me. I will talk about it later..."

Chen Wentian also replied with a smile.

At that time, Wang Yue seemed to have some things to deal with in Jiaodong, but he rushed to meet him only the second day after he came back. It seems that his deception was relatively successful, which made Wang Yue attach great importance to him...

Thinking of this, Chen Wentian felt calmer, and negotiated with Wang Yue more calmly.

Wang Yue didn't mind talking outdoors, so he pointed to a somewhat ugly older follower he brought today and introduced it to Chen Wentian.

This person's name is Tian Kui, he is alert and skilled in martial arts, Wang Yue arranged for him to pretend to be an old servant in Chen Wen's Tianzhuang and go to Yizhou with him.

Chen Wentian nodded to Tian Kui, and didn't say much, anyway, he was going to take someone alone, and he could get to know him slowly on the way.

Seeing that Chen Wentian had no objection, Wang Yue said that Xu's iron shop in the south of Huangxian County had some staff left by him, and after Chen Wentian left, if there was an emergency, the village staff could go to the village for help.

Chen Wentian also made a note of it secretly, and was going to tell Lin Lin and Qin Li later that it was more or less a way out...

"So, Wang Yue wishes my little friend a smooth trip!"
