The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

Chapter 380 Enthusiasm

The brick and tile kilns downstream of the river operate continuously for twelve hours a day.

There are endless bricks and tiles to be fired.

As infrastructure construction in Ganluchuan was proceeding at a frenzied pace, Gan Mingfu was kept extremely busy.

Commander Gan stubbornly believed that these construction tasks should not be of concern to General Gan Minglan, who was preoccupied with such trivial matters.

As for Zuo Wenkang, the silkworm eggs on more than a dozen mulberry leaves had begun to hatch a few days ago.

The outdoor temperature is still quite low at night.

Newly hatched silkworms are black in color, resembling tiny ants, and covered in fine hairs.

They were kept in a specially designated dugout.

At night, they still didn't leave the kang (heated brick bed).

However, the temperature should not be too high.

He is still figuring it out.
Many people are worried: can wild silkworms from the mountains be successfully raised indoors?

Zuo Wenkang absolutely would not allow this thing he was good at to be messed up.

Based on his memories from his previous life, he even wrote a manual about silkworm farming, and secretly aged it, claiming that he bought it by chance.

In short, he always appeared confident and prepared no matter who asked.

The younger brother and the man showed a strong drive for their careers, and Gan Minglan also said that her family had important things to do.

She didn't have to worry much about the physical training and academic classes of her personal guards.

Focus only on exam results periodically and reward accordingly.

Where is Xiao Jin?

It underwent two months of special training.

Then it came in handy.

Da Jin, accompanied by Xiao Jin, was to deliver a reply to the General's Mansion in Hami City the next day.

It was only with great difficulty that the mailing address was changed to the General's Mansion.

Little Jin was smarter than its father. After meeting General Xiong twice, it was able to find the right person by delivering the letter alone.

It can fly a round trip of two hundred miles in half an hour.

What were its owners reporting with all these frequent messages?
There's nothing to report.

They were urging General Xiong to request craftsmen from the Military Equipment Bureau of Huaiqing Prefecture, especially those skilled in making cannons and thunderclaps.

The city walls of Hami New City have been built, and arming the city gates and gun emplacements with cannons is imminent.

So, your Hami New City renovation is complete.

Don't the other garrisons need them too?

What Gan Minglan wanted even more were not those clumsy, homemade cannons fixed on turrets, with short ranges and a high risk of exploding.

When I watched the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty", I saw that the Qing Dynasty's red-coated cannons had a range of more than 500 meters and could be transported to the battlefield by horse-drawn carriages.

According to the timeline, the history of the State of Bei was not several hundred years earlier than that of the Qing Dynasty.

With our creativity and ideas, how far are we from successfully transforming the Red Cannon?

not to mention.

Kansai has no shortage of iron ore and coal, so raw materials are plentiful.

General Xiong: General Gan always knows how to address his urgent needs.

So, he shamelessly asked for help.

Your Highness, you won't help with the immigration, but you'll need dozens of craftsmen to assemble it, right?

Zhao Muyun: Do I look like a sucker to you?
The use of resources by the upper layer is based on its own considerations.

Gan Minglan, however, did not want to passively wait.

Whenever I have the chance, I go into my space to look through some books that I collected before the apocalypse, hoping to find some useful information.

From time to time, he would also turn some of the excerpted materials into classical Chinese.

Tell the truth.

The difficulty is not small.

She almost pulled out several clumps of my hair.

But in the eyes of her mother-in-law, Luo, her daughter-in-law was incredibly impressive.

On the desk on the heated brick bed, he scribbled and drew, quite earnestly, all for the sake of that cannon.

I dare not disturb you. I don't even dare let anyone stay at home.

I took my granddaughter with me when I went out.

"My dear grandson, my sweetheart! Grandma will take you horseback riding, and then I'll have your brother Mouse catch two rabbits to eat, okay?"

Yuanyuan was delighted at the prospect of eating rabbit.

The snow rabbit she caught a few days ago was very fat; it ate two legs off itself while being roasted.

King Rat: Alright, I'm just killing time anyway, I'll go catch a rabbit for my sister.

Everyone has their own things to do.

The Huang family, who recently joined Ganluchuan, are also adapting.

Three felt tents were erected in the camp for medical practice.

Just two days after finishing organizing the medicinal herbs and replenishing them with some newly purchased local herbs, they opened for business.

How skilled were the imperial physicians from Shangdu?

At General Gan's request, a comprehensive health check was conducted for all members of Gan Luchuan.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

Not to mention the physical strain suffered by able-bodied laborers during the spring plowing season.

Not to mention the hidden injuries suffered by the vanguard battalion members during training.

More than sixty pregnant women and more than one hundred women aged twenty to forty were diagnosed with illnesses of varying degrees.

Of these thirteen doctors, Imperial Physician Huang was the most skilled.

Not only is his pulse diagnosis accurate, but his prescriptions are also exceptional.

The patients also discussed it quite a bit in private.

A pregnant woman, five months along, is filled with lingering fear:
"To be honest, ever since I got pregnant with the third son of the Ang family, I haven't had any regular bleeding. I've had spotting every month. But my mother-in-law always says it's nothing serious and that I just need to rest. I've been lying down for four months, but it still hasn't gotten better. The old imperial physician Huang took my pulse and said it was a threatened miscarriage caused by my kidney deficiency. If this continues, I'll definitely miscarry within a month."

The military dependents who overheard her gossip were startled: "Is it that serious? How did Imperial Physician Huang prescribe this medicine for you?"

"They didn't prescribe any herbal medicine, but gave me a bottle of longevity pills."

"Shou Tai Wan?"

"Yes, it is said to be one of the best-selling pills in the Shangdu Medical Hall of the Imperial Physician Huang's family. It is mainly used to treat symptoms such as kidney deficiency, miscarriage, and fetal growth retardation. It is dissolved in water and drunk twice a day. Ang took it for three days and the medicine took effect."

"That must be very expensive, right?"

"I heard from the pharmacists at the pharmacy that a bottle of this medicine would cost ten taels of silver in the market, and one bottle is needed for a course of treatment. This time, the bill is waived, and the health station will cover it."

"Oh my, you really got a great deal!"

Really are!
Who would want to take advantage of that?

It must be said that the patients have an amazing pain tolerance; they won't easily see a doctor unless the pain is life-threatening.

Another reason is that they've been used to generations of poverty.

Medicines that cost several taels of silver are simply unaffordable.

If you keep putting it off and endure it, some people will develop very serious lesions.

it's good now.

There were imperial physicians who provided free medical consultations.

They really don't hide anything; they'll ask for ages about anything that's even slightly comfortable.

As the patients were cured one after another, in addition to feeling even more grateful to General Gan, they also regarded Imperial Physician Huang and Imperial Physician Huang as divine healers.

Such a miraculous doctor must be kept in Ganluchuan.

What can we use to keep them?
Everyone respects him, a respect that comes from the bottom of their hearts.

After that, whenever patients cooked something delicious, they would always send an extra portion to the Imperial Physician Huang at their homes.

They have no choice but to accept it.

They always send their children to run errands, leaving the food containers at the door and then disappearing in a flash.

The two prepared greenhouses are temporarily occupied by the Huang family members, separated by gender.

The men worked in the medical tent during the day.

Among the women, some of the more timid ones were initially worried about security at the border.

But seeing that even four- or five-year-old children from the local garrison dared to run to pastures more than ten miles away to graze livestock, they felt at ease.
